Chapter 157: Reinforcements Leave
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and the day has finally come to fulfill the promise.
Outside the city of Boulder City, under the towering city walls, Celita stood on top of a war horse dressed in silver armor. Behind him was the adjutant Derrank, also dressed in knight's plate armor, with a burly figure like an iron tower, and the flag of the Rick Kingdom fluttering on the spear.
Outside the gatehouse, 25,000 town militiamen armed with swords, shields and spears, looking at the black press, after a month of training, has seen the first breath of slaughter, although it is far from the word elite, but it is also a strong force with good combat power.
On the sides of the phalanx were a group of musketeers carrying "iron pipes...... It was the wizard who gave them a name.
It looked completely different from the 25,000 men in the phalanx, wearing only an ordinary cloth coat and carrying a short sword at the waist that only archers could have. Unlike the murderous town militias, they exude a more calm aura, and if it weren't for the neat line formation that can be measured with a ruler, it would even make one wonder if they were peasants who had been improvised by the lord to be used as cannon fodder.
Standing at the front of the line was a man with deep eyes.
This man was called Liszt, and he was personally appointed by Jiang Feng to serve as the commander of these five thousand new-style troops.
Behind the five thousand people were nearly a hundred caravans with ammunition supplies. Behind the caravan formation was twenty-four gates. The smoothbore artillery was divided into two artillery regiments, led by different centurions, and they were all under the command of General Liszt.
The horse's hooves stopped, and Celita, who had walked to the front of the formation, turned to look at Jiang Feng on the city wall, and made a knightly salute to express her respect and gratitude to Jiang Feng.
Then, she turned to face the soldiers of the whole army, and with the momentum of a man, she shouted: "Soldiers! The day of departure has arrived! Under the glorious guidance of the Father, we will use the blade in our hands to cut off the heads of the rebels, and your names will be inscribed into epic poems and sung by thousands of bards. Now, for the sake of the Motherland, for the sake of Your Majesty, for our glory, forward! ”
"Forward!"
The roar of the rainbow resounded outside the city, and every onlooker outside the city who watched it was full of blood in their hearts and their scalps were numb.
From that impassioned voice, Jiang Feng felt a faint, soft spiritual energy, bathed in the afternoon sun, like a warm current slowly diffusing outward. This warm current seems to dispel all evil, dispel all fear, and even the unarmed coward will gain the courage to look at death as if he were home.
"Witchcraft? Wrong...... It should be the aura of a paladin. Looking at the "hot-blooded girl" Yi Ran who was trembling on her shoulders next to her, Jiang Feng thought in her heart.
can make a time-traveler from another world ignite, it seems that the strength of this Chosen One should not be underestimated. Coupled with the power of the Sword of Gondal, if Cilita can skillfully harness this power, perhaps the five-star wizard may not be her opponent.
And on the battlefield, the role she plays is not necessarily comparable to that of a six-star wizard.
Led by Silita, an army of 30,000 marched mightily in the direction of Sardiniburg.
Looking at the army in the distance, until the banner of the kingdom disappeared from the end of the field of vision, Jiang Feng walked down the city wall.
For this war, everything he can has already been done.
With his current strength, it is better to bring an extra smoothbore cannon with him. Moreover, the Wizard's Tower was about to be completed, and the first apprentices were soon to enroll, and he was clearly more interested than His Majesty the King who was besieged in Sardiniburg, and the portals and witchcraft models left behind by Iran's "predecessors" in the Thorn Wastes.
The day after the army left, the Wizard's Tower, known as the Academy, was officially completed.
The entire building is white, and it is close to the Cursed Rift, making it stand out in the wasteland. Two towers stand tall in the middle of the castle-like main building, which is flanked by stone corridors that connect the laboratories to the faculty building.
The institute is divided into two schools by Jiang Feng, namely the α College and the β College, which study natural science and occult knowledge respectively, and focus on cultivating different types of talents.
The towers on either side of the main building are the dormitory buildings for the students. As for the main building in the middle, it is very intuitive to recognize that this is a teaching building. There is a library, classrooms, and even a cafeteria, where students will spend most of the year after enrolling.
There is also a laboratory at the back of the main building, which is a separate building, not too high, and it is where Jiang Feng himself lives.
Jiang Feng came to the school alone, sorted out the King's Library, the Vallan Alchemy Society, Captain Monkyrie's collection and other books with his brain, and then compiled and painted the "Aditya Continent Monster Illustrated Book", "Witchcraft Spiritual Power Fluctuation Identification", "Ghoul Research" and other books that are useful for training apprentices, and after printing them into books with the printer that Du Wei brought from the South Island, they were all used to fill the library's bookshelves for students to see.
It is no exaggeration to say that the collection of books here is probably the richest in the entire kingdom.
After doing all this, Jiang Feng returned to Boulder City, and then found Rembert.
Rembert, who was drinking afternoon tea at this time, saw Jiang Feng, and quickly stood up and bowed: "Respected Chief Wizard, good afternoon, I don't know what you command?" ”
Ever since the City Hall quickly raised a huge sum of two million UBS through the issuance of war bonds, easily solving his financial headaches, his reverence for the wizard could not be greater. Although it used to be the same attitude of hugging the thighs, now it is obvious that behind the awe and fear, there is more worship.
"The Wizard Tower has been completed, and the preparations have been completed," Jiang Feng paused at this point, "I need you to inform the apprentices on the roster that they will meet at the town hall tomorrow morning, and find some cooks and servants, and I will take them to the Wizard Tower together tomorrow." ”
Rembert nodded hurriedly and said respectfully, "Willing to serve you." ”
"Then go quickly." Jiang Feng said.
Hearing this, Rembert did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly found the messenger of the town hall, personally wrote a hundred notification letters, and attached Rembert's sincere blessings below, and then asked them to be delivered to those little wizards at the same time as possible.
As for the servants and cooks, he directly posted job postings in the industry alliance, saying that he was working for wizards, and many people enthusiastically signed up. It was a good thing they could never have dreamed of, but it was a pain for Rembert, who needed to choose the best cooks and servants from among them.
After instructing Rembert, Jiang Feng found Leia and told her about his plan to move out of here, and asked them what they meant by the way.
The Wizard Tower wasn't too far from here, and if they wanted to live in Boulder City, Jiang Feng wouldn't force them to go with him, except for Yi Ran, who could burn cement...... Of course, Ira must have preferred to go to the Wizard's Tower.
However, it turned out that Jiang Feng was obviously overly worried.
As half-elves, they don't like to have too much contact with humans, preferring to live in places close to nature. As for Emily, the most sticky person on weekdays, except for her sister, is Jiang Feng, after hearing the news that she was going to move, she turned around and went back to the room excitedly, humming a cheerful tone to pack her luggage.
Early the next morning, Jiang Feng left Boulder City with a hundred apprentices and fifty servants and cooks, the number was originally more than that, when Rembert was looking for servants, he searched for them one by one, and the number of cooks reached 235 people, but Jiang Feng directly cut off half of the number.
Although there were a lot of people, the speed of moving forward was not slow, Rembert prepared a lot of carriages for Jiang Feng, and in less than half a day, everyone came to the Wizard Tower.
Looking at the uniquely shaped wizard tower in front of them, all the students' hearts beat faster, their eyes swept by the flames that could not be extinguished, and their fists were clenched.
Thinking of the instructions of their father and mother before leaving, and thinking of the expectations, envy, or compliments of their relatives and friends, they made up their minds in their hearts.
Be sure to become a wizard!
