Chapter 410: Bite back three, ruthless emperor's family
Unlike the earth barrier that was hastily erected in response to the 'small group of slightly resistant brain-dead water magic warriors sneaking up on the camp', this time it was a multi-layered superimposed earth barrier led by the condensation of the nine rings of the earth system. But even so, in the battle with the huge cone that covered the entire Bull Knights, he was defeated, and the plan to block the corner of the wall and fight was completely aborted.
The layman and the low-to-middle ring magician just watched the dazzling special effect, and while they were surprised and shocked, they suppressed their panic and followed the order to complete the assembly defense.
However, many high-ring earth mages were stunned by the incomprehensible appearance and power effects of this magic. Although it feels slightly different, the material of the blood-colored translucent conebrae is undoubtedly earth-based condensate, and they will never look away after dealing with condensate all their lives. The black concrete barrier was simply smashed, and although there were some factors of 'breaking the surface with points', the huge difference in the strength of the condensate between the two sides still existed.
Then there was only one huge question mark left in the minds of the group: Why the fuck is so hard?
Soon, a small number of high-ring earth magicians who had studied under top masters or participated in foreign wars turned their minds to the characteristic of 'pure color translucency'.
The development of earth magic to the present day has mainly been the research within the various earth families and wizard associations, and a small number of small 'exchanges' with the other two theocratic states on the continent that have accompanied casualties. In this process, the appearance of soil concrets naturally attracts people's attention.
Within the union of kingdoms, black is the main color, and a small number are dark colors with a sense of turbidity, such as the royal family of the Red Mountain Kingdom. Solid-colored or translucent condensates are rare. The other two theocratic states are on the contrary. It is the appearance of condensation that has become a vague condition for identifying friend and foe, which is why Xiaoshi was interviewed by the 'teaching office' soon after entering school.
As for the utility of different appearance condensates, although there is no in-depth and careful comparative study, it is based on general experience. There are many black concretions and they are easy to control and easy to deform, and the amount of translucent or pure color condensates is small, and it is difficult to manipulate, and sometimes there is no obvious improvement in some properties. Such as hardness, magic affinity or resistance, duration, etc.
That is to say, in the eyes of the earth magicians on the side of the United Kingdom, the black condensate has obvious advantages, and in the other two theocratic states, those peers who claim to be priests are all stupid beeps who pinch their ribs.
However, the situation on the battlefield changed rapidly, and this group of cranky high-ring earth mages quickly came back to their senses under the respectful urging of Lord Evan's direct attendant, and then built cannons out of condensation as ordered. Although when the Bull Knights sneak attacked, they proved that they were super resistant to beating, but at this time, they didn't fire a cannon to 'farewell' the departing enemy, how to swallow this sulking?
On the Troll's side, a number of black condensate makeshift cannons had just been fired with their steel companions. The magicians heard the sound of cannons in the distance from the direction of the Red Mountain Kingdom camp, followed by the whistling sound of cannonballs cutting through the air. In the midst of the exclamation of warning, the powerful arrow protection magic of the qi system was the first to be deployed, but two cannonballs still managed to land in time. However, due to the problem of aiming, one fell in the open space and the other landed in the corner of the mage's phalanx, and the results were very limited.
This is obviously the Red Mountain Kingdom discovering the chaos on this side and reacting to it.
And without informing the Red Mountain Kingdom in advance of the reason for the cooperation, Jiao Ming was not in the war at all, and the crocodile leader was worried about two aspects. One is the fear of 'being sacrificed', in case it is fully covered by artillery fire when rushing to kill, although the armor is very hard, but it is too unjust to accidentally kill a few people. Second, in this way, the record is among the best among many dukes and marquises, and it is better to negotiate a good price.
And if you shift the perspective to the artillery position of the Red Mountain Kingdom, you have to admit that the crocodile leader has a good defense. From the time the telescope-mounted gas mage scout discovered the anomaly and reported the news of the attack on the camp of the Trolling, to the time the artillery was laid out and a salvo fired, the whole process was much slower than expected due to the low morale of the defeat.
As for the attack on the camp in the intelligence, the high-level of the Red Mountain Kingdom only thought about it for a moment, and instead of hesitating to wait for this group of people to rush out of the camp before firing, they used some flowery rhetoric afterwards to give these people the title of martyrs.
As a result, the Red Mountain Kingdom and the Tro Leader began to bombard each other again in the night, and it didn't take long for the Red Mountain Kingdom to gradually fall into decline, and had to slowly retreat again. In terms of results, just as the Crocodile Collar expected, with the backdrop of 'teammates', the sneak attack achieved a good result.
However, Jiao Ming, who was in a drunken state almost the whole time, basically had no memory of the baptism of magic when he stormed the camp, and only suddenly became a wit at the moment of rushing into the camp, and felt a sense of familiarity from the giant city-breaking cone formed by the condensation, but he didn't have the extra brain power to follow this clue.
In the following slashing process, two stray bullets were fired in the thigh and lower abdomen, and in pain, he finally realized that the magic addiction potion that had just been poured down might not be something that the six-ring water-based magic warriors could afford.
While secretly scolding the Spring Rain Tiger, Jiao Ming wanted to teleport away, but he was already in the enemy formation. And not only is the Holy Demon Sea turbulent, but the surrounding space environment is also very complicated, prohibitions and obstructions are layered one after another, if you are awake with the blessing of the silver ring, you have the confidence to leave safely, but in this case of a whirlwind and a hangover-like headache, it seems that it is safer to follow the large army.
And in the battlefield environment, magic and bullets are flying around, and even good-natured people must act if they want to live. And Jiao Ming even understands that if something goes wrong with the Bull Knights, they are likely to be captured in the moment, and in the long run, the relationship with Ice Lotus may be variable.
As a last resort, he had to take the spare long sword, cooperate with the spatial rift, and block the attack of the enemy water magic warriors who rushed into the bull cavalry regiment while blocking the attack of the enemy water magic warriors who rushed into the bull cavalry regiment, and at the same time various spatial magic, or try to hurt the enemy, or cover his teammates. Even teleporting two unlucky eggs who were put off their mounts by the enemy with steel cannon pipes back to the back of the bull is not much easier than the others.
Until the crocodile duke whistled and retreated, and the city-breaking cone reappeared, Jiao Ming was surprised by the dazzling effect and power of this thing, but it felt that it seemed to be exactly the same as the set of condensation armor that he had made when he fought to the death with the two eight-rings in the Chaos Land a long time ago.
From this sense of familiarity, it was confirmed that this was the condensation of the poem, and then I felt it carefully, and found that the source of the condensation was the little boy who was guarded in the middle of the team. In this way, it's not a bad idea to say it's a weapon.
When the Red Mountain Kingdom and the Tro Collar were fighting each other, the Bull Knights threw off a small number of pursuers, and Jiao Ming, who had a question mark in his stomach, could no longer hold back his curiosity, and in the deafening cheers, he turned his head and asked loudly: "What's going on with this earth magic?"
"How do I know?" replied Chunyu, who was sitting behind Jiao Ming, taking off his helmet and shaking his hair, waving his weapon in celebration like everyone around him, his face blackened and bloodstained was full of the joy of victory.
Jiao Ming grimaced, realizing that there was probably no one in the team who knew the answer.
When the cheers died down and the order was given to rest in place, the exhausted warriors and mounts relaxed and lay down on the ground at will. The torches were lit, the high-ranking people counted the casualties, and the lower-level soldiers discussed their respective encounters and lessons learned in the battle, which can of course be said to be 'bragging'.
Soon, the result of only five people missing made everyone cheer again. You must know that based on the experience of storming the Xu Qin people's magician camp in the past, if you scale it up, this is at least the result of losing forty or fifty lives. As for such a trivial matter as losing an arm or leg, no one counts it at all.
And then the firelight, Jiao Ming also found the greasy texture of the new armor from the damage, it was actually a double-layer structure, and the middle stuffed was the translucent condensation of the small poem. At this point, Jiao Ming's only thought was to wait for the medicinal strength to pass, and then teleport to Xiao Shi to ask everything. Unfortunately, this idea was quickly diverted by a series of miscellaneous things.
Ms. Purple Feather has the title of baron of the Red Mountain Kingdom, and she can speak more or less, so she first took her entourage to the new camp where the Red Mountain Kingdom retreated again to 'reinstate', which is also to probe the wind.
And although the Red Mountain Kingdom issued an 'order to block the enemy' yesterday, in the case of the success of this sneak attack, no one would pick out the words, and the high-level was happy to welcome this group of powerful warriors back to the camp.
After the rest and the cleansing of the team, Ms. Ziyu also brought back good news. The Crocodile Knights of the Bull Knights immediately set off with torches.
When the Bull Knights entered the camp of the Red Mountain Kingdom, Jiao Ming's expected cheers to greet the heroes did not appear, and the small number of onlookers were generally whispering and all kinds of strange eyes with rich connotations. Against the backdrop of the flickering firelight and the dim glow of the magic lamp, Jiao Ming even had a feeling of entering a ghost, cold and gloomy.
"This atmosphere, how can it be as if we have lost. ”
"It's better to lose. Chunyu snorted coldly, and then said: "Don't worry too much, if we change places, our faces may be even more stinky." ”
Jiao Ming was stunned, and imagined in his mind. If the PLC loses consecutive battles, and a cannon fodder force supported by the cosmic peninsula country steps on shit and achieves a big victory, it will indeed make people angry, even if they celebrate on the surface, they will curse secretly.
Shaking his head to dispel the possibility that this possibility is not as good as just in case, but seeing the polite and arrogant greeting of the Hongshan Kingdom, Jiao Ming lost the interest in going into the Chinese army's tent to watch the play, because there would be no excitement or ugliness at all. The high-level leaders of the Red Mountain Kingdom have not lost their inch, and although the negotiations for the reunion are bound to succeed, the crocodile collar may not be able to take advantage of the extra advantage.
I went to the camp to rest with most of the crocodile territorial water magic warriors, and the next day I heard the news that the two sides continued to cooperate. At the same time, the crocodile collar increased the number of casualties tenfold, and while asking for a large amount of money for bereavement and medical expenses, it also refused to rush the camp again. It's just that in the next three days, he wandered around the periphery of the Tro Territory camp from time to time, sharing part of the firepower and bluffing the opponent, and the offensive was greatly defeated.
Jiao Ming fully recovered after a day of rest, and before he could teleport away, he was watched by the palace attendants of the Red Mountain Kingdom who were similar to the military police, on the grounds that the 'case of resisting arrest and murder' had officially entered the review procedure. Jiao Ming was dumbfounded when he heard this, completely confused, but when he saw that the other party was polite and respectful, he didn't turn his face.
Then there was a 'house arrest' life with no guards but many people waiting for them, and the crocodile leader and others first expressed concern, but after seeing this kind of preferential treatment, they did not say more.
During this period, Jiao Ming sent a letter to ask Yisi about the situation, but he did not get a reply for two days, and contacted his subordinates in the territory with a telegraph communication box, but received a reply such as "I was not allowed to see Yisi". I was going to ask Ms. Ziyu or Chunyu to go back to Qingshui City once, and it would be no problem to meet Yi Sidang in person, but thinking about why bother, I immediately went to find it myself.
In a spacious and bright study room full of documents, Jiao Ming saw Yisi with a haggard face, and the dark circles under his eyes were so thick that they were like giant pandas. "You don't have to work so hard, do you?"
"You're here, how about Dieda borrow me for a few days?"
"What you need is not butterflies, but rest, and don't forget that you are pregnant. ”
"There's too much to do. Yi Si smiled bitterly, but couldn't hide an unusual excitement.
As soon as Jiao Ming thought about it, he remembered the scenes of Yisi showing a similar expression several times in the past year, and summed it up in four words: power is in hand. "Why are you promoted again?"
Although the bureaucratic class has some signs of emergence in the Red Mountain Kingdom, it is not the mainstream. Yi Si didn't understand the meaning of the promotion, and only nodded after listening to the explanation, "According to you, I am about the same as the mayor of Qingshui City now." ”
"You can't ignore the child. Jiao Ming had no respect for these documents, and sat down on a pile of them as a bench.
"Okay, I'll take notice. Yi Si said lightly, but obviously didn't plan to do it, "You didn't come to me this time just to care about my rest, right?" ”
Jiao Ming then told the things of 'case review', 'house arrest' and 'fruitless sending of letters'. Yi Si finally put down the pen, his brows furrowed more and more, and after confirming the details of the house arrest, he sighed for a moment and smiled bitterly.
"I have a guess, it's a terrible kind. ”
"Life in danger?" Jiao Ming immediately became nervous.
"Not really, but it's ...... Disgusting. After a pause, Yisi chose the adjective.
"Tell me about it. ”
"Just to make sure, the madman didn't leave his house arrest cell at night?"
"He seems to be tired and hasn't been out for three days. ”
"Well, I just hope you don't get angry after listening to it. After taking a precautionary shot, Yi Si showed a rather strange smile, and then said from the beginning: "The war has been going on to this extent, according to historical practice, the Wizards' Association will soon intervene and ask the defeated side to pay compensation, in the form of metals, food, slaves, land, etc. ”
"So?"
"This time our Red Mountain Kingdom is undoubtedly defeated, but it is likely that there will be some difficulties in terms of compensation. ”
"Crying poor?"
"Ten people above the Nine Rings participated, which is rare in the history of a war of this scale, and according to historical practice, the compensation is probably astronomical. ”
"Well, are you sure that has anything to do with the 'case review'?"
"Whether the royal factories outside Qingshui City can be strong or not, at least they are very profitable. Especially the arsenal, do you know how much a new military standard musket can be exchanged for on the black market now?"
"I don't know, and I don't want to know. ”
"And now there are two main competitors for various industrial products in the Red Mountain Kingdom, the crocodile collar and your viscountdom. ”
Jiao Ming finally came back to his senses, ", you mean that the kingdom intends to engage in monopoly operations internally and earn excess profits to repay the war reparations?"
"That's just speculation. However, according to the kingdom's custom, if a guilty nobleman escaped while in custody, the maximum punishment was exile. During exile, the realm was administered by heirs or other immediate family members, or if there were none, by the kingdom. ”
"Now, do I count as an escape?" Jiao Ming pointed to the ground under his feet.
"Of course, even in the past three days, if you go out for half a step. After all, it's just an excuse. ”
"Is it okay for me to curse?"
"As long as you don't piggyback on me, feel free. ”
Jiao Ming, who did not give up, immediately teleported back to the camp of the Red Mountain Kingdom, but was almost buried alive due to the space ban, and ran back to the cell unimpeded, as Yisi expected, it was too late. Several palace guards who had been waiting for a long time respectfully and even tremblingly took out a document.
To the effect that Viscount Jiao Ming escaped from prison while serving his sentence and was exiled for five years, everything was dealt with quickly because he was in a 'state of war'.
"I ...... I bought a watch last year!!"
