"Storms are rare, and you just dodge and fly. Eth also looked out of the porthole, and then told a funny story about a great storm that covered the whole country decades ago, and another scrapped airship flew to a neighboring country to take refuge, and almost caused a war.

Jiao Ming probably imagined the impasse at that time, smiled, and remembered the timidity of the meeting when he appointed Dieda to govern the territory not long ago, and after explaining the situation, he asked Yi Si if there were any regulations for the use of qi magic on the floating airship.

However, this time, Yi Si did not exaggerate 'marveling' at Jiao Ming's ignorance, but explained a little sarcastically: "Yes, but this rule is also completely outdated, and you don't have to care about those people's inexplicable superiority at all." ”

"Understand and understand, the people of a big country will inevitably be arrogant. Jiao Ming pretended to be generous, but the stroke in his heart did not erase it.

Iss, on the other hand, recounts the origin of the prohibition of teleportation: "This is the ban imposed by the grandmother of the previous king, the current king. The reason is also very simple. That is the dual talent of the earth and qi system, although until the earth system enters the nine rings, the qi system only has five rings, although it can only barely perform teleportation, but I like this magic very much. When he was fifty-six years old, he somehow broke a newly bought large floating airship, and none of the qi magicians in the kingdom knew how to repair it, so he had no choice but to be pitted by the Magicians Association, so he left such a one. ”

Jiao Ming just sighed that the fifty-six-year-old woman was not small, thinking that she should be an optimistic and interesting person, and couldn't help but want to hear more interesting stories about this person, but unexpectedly, Yisi shook his head and refused to say more, and even told Yu Yu not to mention this queen in the kingdom.

"Why, does this woman have some other darker history?"

"This queen is a well-known virtuous king. Yi Si denied it, but seeing Jiao Ming's increasingly curious look, he had to give a clear reason for refusal: "But his origin is related to the secrets of the royal family, so don't ask more." ”

Jiao Ming suddenly extinguished his interest, thinking about Gu Zhongguo's bad debts about the royal bloodline, it was like a beautiful box containing excrement, and the situation here would only get worse, it was better not to open it.

Two airships, one large and one small, drove side by side at an altitude of three or four hundred meters at a slightly slower speed than the green train, a height that could not touch the clouds, but was suitable for observing the scenery on the earth. Although there are reckless tropical mountains and forests below, and the eyes are full of dripping green, it is slightly monotonous and easy to produce aesthetic fatigue.

Jiao Ming, who had seen enough of the scenery, checked the travel time again, and learned that there were still seven or eight hourglasses, which were about three hours, so he decided to take a nap, and when he woke up, the sunset outside the porthole was half sinking into the mountain, and there was no trace of another airship. After asking the waiting Luohua for a while, I learned that the big guys thought the old airship was too slow, and had already rushed to the destination first.

"Oh, it's understandable that the big guys have a lot of time. Jiao Ming stretched his waist and asked again, "Anyway, is there food on this airship?"

Luohua took out a wooden box from her side, and apologized that she had asked if there was a separate small heating stove on the airship, Jiao Ming tasted it, and felt that it was okay, after all, this is the tropics, and the food will not be completely cold.

"Don't worry, it's me who didn't eat well. Jiao Ming smiled comfortingly, and then took a big bite to eat, but noticed that Luo Hua wanted to speak and stopped, jokingly took the food over and asked vaguely: "Is there something?"

"I've eaten. Luo Hua blushed and hurriedly waved her hand to refuse, but when she saw the chopsticks leaving in front of her, she was reluctant to sulk, glared at Jiao Ming vaguely, and then said: "This expedition, I don't know if you plan to go to the battlefield in person or stay in the rear?"

"Of course it's going to the battlefield, otherwise it's going to be a big deal. ”

"Then please allow me to accompany you. Luohua's tone was solemn and resolute, obviously knowing Jiao Ming's habit of taking special care of women. But on the other hand, Jiao Ming also understands the etiquette of Luohua and the maid, and nodded in agreement with a slight smile, saying that he is going to the battlefield, but it is also the formation that remains in the layers of protection, and it is not a magical warrior who charges hand-to-hand combat, and there is no danger for Luohua to follow him.

When it was completely dark, the floating airship finally arrived at the target military village, Jiao Ming simply jumped down from the lift port with Luohua in his arms, and then used weightlessness magic to slowly fall, which was enjoyable. However, the first task of the soldiers is not to familiarize themselves with the environment, but to clean up the scraps, and there is no doubt that the banquet of the big man has just ended. And the only requirement for this work is to be quiet and not to disturb the rest of the big guys.

Although Jiao Ming didn't like it, he also cautiously held it in his heart, after all, listening to Chunyu's reminder, according to his senses, there were at least three people above the Nine Rings in this small military village.

"Such a big battle?" Jiao Ming asked suspiciously, "When I read the information in the afternoon, I remembered that the target of this battle was only the forces led by the two seven-ring magicians. ”

"That's our goal. Chunyu accentuated the word 'we', and seeing that Jiao Ming was still not enlightened, he prompted: "Yi Si also told you in the afternoon that this military village is the junction of the three parties. ”

", Duke Crocodile, are they going to the territory of the Earth Mother God Sect?" Obviously, the battle plans of the big men would not be put into the information that Jiao Mingtian saw.

"I don't know what waves mean, but you should be right. ”

"Too dangerous, isn't it?"

"There is no way, we must prove our strength to the Red Mountain Kingdom. Chunyu then peeked left and right, and said in a low voice: "I'll tell you a secret." In fact, don't worry, we have secretly discussed, entering the territory of the Earth Mother God Cult will mainly burn the fertile land, and when you kill people, you will paddle a little, and you will have a reasonable excuse when you come back. ”

Thinking that the Earth Mother God Cult is located in the southern hemisphere, it is the autumn harvest at this time, and considering the running ability of the magic warriors of the Nine Rings Water System, although playing like this will not immediately weaken the overall combat power, it can have a long-term impact, vicious and reasonable, and there is no fear of retaliation, after all, the crocodile collar is too far away. But there are also many flaws, "The Red Mountain Kingdom is not stupid, it will definitely see through it." And how does this count as proof of strength?"

"There are enough forces over there to unite with the entire kingdom, and they are gathered together, who knows how many are above the Nine Rings. Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is not reckless, it is also a kind of wisdom, and wisdom is also a kind of strength. After a pause, Chunyu still patiently said the weak words with arrogance, "This at least proves that we will not rely on the alliance to do wrong, and we are a sensible and reliable little brother." ”

Jiao Ming secretly sighed at the sorrow of a small country, and didn't know how to comfort the spring rain who was a little depressed, and changed the topic: "So where are you and Yisi?

"I can't rest assured that you guys must be following this side. But Yi Si was a little hesitant, as if he wanted to take this opportunity to show the power of the new weapon in front of many big people, the kind called cannons. ”

"Not at all. Jiao Ming shrugged. As for the translation, of course, there are many jokes, so there is no need to mention it.

"However, the security aspect is still guaranteed, and the two Seven Rings that were planned to defeat the enemy chieftain have not been transferred. And Yi Si also left a message, if he went to the Mother Earth God Cult with the big shots, he would persuade an Eighth Ring to come and follow him secretly, which would be regarded as the top class. ”

"Thoughtful enough. Jiao Ming nodded, unable to ask for more from Yisi.

The Red Mountain Kingdom is obviously very experienced in estimating combat power, and it also has a good idea of the strength of the surrounding enemies. If this battle does not take into account the two Eight Rings who protect the new army, the enemy and us are completely evenly matched. The seven rings are all two, and although this side is 2 to 6 in the sixth ring, it has an overwhelming advantage in the third, fourth and fifth rings.

In fact, it is no wonder that the Red Mountain Kingdom, as a stable kingdom, has a perfect cultivation system, and the magicians are distributed in a pyramid. But the other side is a chaotic land of anarchy, and the strong are divided into hundreds of miles. And most of them are people who can't get along in the Kingdom Union and Mother Earth God Cult, exiled or absconded here, there is no tomorrow today, who has the leisure to cultivate middle and low-ring magicians who have never known each other and taken refuge in them. On the other hand, it is rare for the middle and low-ring magicians to complete such a difficult task as absconding, so although the number of enemies corresponding to the three platoons of magician soldiers is unknown, it is estimated that there are no more than 100 people.

Early the next morning, the soldiers living in the makeshift tents got up early to run and exercise as usual, but the arrogant screams of the madmen did not appear, the reason was naturally controlled by the expected spring rains, after all, many of the big men there were still sleeping. After breakfast, the soldiers moved the food, armor, and ammunition they had brought from the courtyard into the warehouse, dropped the end of the steel circle for teleportation, and left them to garrison. At the same time, Yi Si finally gave a letter: follow the big man, and introduce a gray-haired eight-ring earth magician to Jiao Ming and Chunyu, and by the way, there are two seven-ring and one six-ring in the plan.

Jiao Ming listened to the introduction, and greeted them one by one according to aristocratic etiquette, but he suddenly thought of a problem, the soldiers and generals were not familiar with each other, which was not very good. But considering the situation of this world fighting with magic, you can consider the high-ring magician as a combat unit alone, and he is not familiar with war, so he should take the time to consult Spring Rain.

Immediately afterwards, a team composed of middle and low ring magician soldiers, ordinary people's servants, and several high-ring magicians set out, and the team of less than two hundred people quickly disappeared into the tropical jungle. With a map in hand, and constant observation by air mages, the team would not be able to afford to get lost. Moreover, the Red Mountain Kingdom is originally a tropical country, so it is naturally experienced in dealing with the rainforest environment, and it will not cause large-scale non-combat attrition.

The only two troubles are the difficulty of walking and the weather, and when the two come together, the food is completely stopped. In the afternoon, the sky was cloudy, and soon it was pouring rain. The eight-ring earth magician made a large canopy out of black condensate, and the team could only build the ground under their feet to prevent flooding, and then waited boredly.

However, the performance of the magician soldiers sitting and resting made several new magicians very puzzled, and when they found Jiao Ming and Chunyu, a seven-ring magician asked in a slightly accented lingua franca why these magician soldiers did not quarrel or fight, let alone gamble and fight.

"Isn't this bad?" Jiao Ming couldn't help but ask rhetorically when he saw that the other party didn't look in awe as expected.

The seven-ring magician looked at the other two for a moment, pondered for a moment, and said, "I can't say whether it's good or not, but I'm a little unaccustomed to it." ”

Jiao Ming could see that this was just a euphemism, and in fact, he should not be optimistic about these new-style soldiers. And the reason is not difficult to guess, in the past cognition, 'aggressiveness' should be an important attribute of a warrior, and such silent waiting obviously gives people the impression of 'stupid'.

Jiao Ming wanted to smile confidently and show himself on the battlefield. Chunyu laughed and beckoned the water magic warriors to a wrestling knockout match, and the winner could get a qualified rifled gun and send it home for free. The neat and deafening cheers drowned out the dissatisfied complaints of the other three magicians, and the wrestling match began, and it was obviously not the first time that it was organized quickly.

Jiao Ming had also seen this kind of competition from the stone platform on the edge of Changteng Town from a distance in his territory, and he didn't feel anything. But this abrupt transition from static to dynamic made several high-ring magicians really startled, and after looking at each other, it was the seven-ring who continued to ask, "How did you make the soldiers so obedient?"

It's like training a pet. If it is the norm for a group of cats to get together in a mess, then when someone familiar with the cat's personality sees a group of cats sitting upright, they will only think that these cats have been harshly trained to lose their nature. But when these neatly seated cats become the same as normal after a command, they will naturally understand the difficulty.

Chunyu smiled slightly, and was influenced by Yisi to advertise at all times, and replied: "This is naturally the beauty of the new soldier training method. ”

The next day the rain stopped, and the team continued to set off, which had been a one-day journey for two days due to muddy roads. When he finally got out of the tropical forest, he saw a reclaimed plain, planted with a common tropical food crop, which was also Jiao Ming's staple food after moving here. Although it looks somewhat similar to rice, Jiao Ming bets on his tongue that the taste is far from that of earth's rice.
