83 War (I)
Dean Deken confirmed, and the final candidate to participate in the defense of the barbarian kingdom was finally decided. Anyone who can enter this list can be said to be the talents that the Curiti Demon Martial Academy is preparing to focus on, and among them, the local apprentices of the Elasia Kingdom are the mainstay.
The list was quickly confirmed to the various departments, and there were a total of one hundred and twenty apprentices participating in this battle against the barbarians, including eighty warriors, and only forty sparse magicians in the army. To ensure the safety of the apprentices, warriors are mostly selected from the warrior and knight lines, as they have the strongest defenses.
On the magician's side, it is more scattered, and each department of magic has apprentices selected. But whether it is a warrior or a magician, most of the people who participate in this experience are senior apprentices, and only a few particularly good junior apprentices can participate.
There are a total of three places for the Demon Martial Arts Department, which is still because of the victory of the Demon Martial Arts Department in this freshman competition. Zhang Yuan, Nina, and a senior apprentice in the senior year were selected for this selection. Originally, there was no Nina in the quota, but I don't know what method Nina used, so I still joined in. This also made Zhang Yuan deeply understand how powerful the family of this girl who helped him is!
In addition to Zhang Yuan, there were three other junior practitioners of the magic department who participated in this operation, including Fen Lilan of the Qi Department and Hai Lifen of the Fire Department Magic Apprentice, all of whom were the leaders of the various departments who had outstanding performances in this new apprentice competition. And Morin, who was the strongest in the thief department, also became one of the eighty warriors of the samurai department.
"Teacher, are you looking for me?" Zhang Yuan pushed open the door of Deken's office and walked in. "Come on! Zhang Yuan, sit down. Dekkon looked at him with a smile on his face and pointed to the chair next to him.
"You're going to leave in a few days, I recently collected the experience of the legendary great magician with four systems of magic in ancient times to control the fusion magic skills, you can take it and take a look, it will be of some help to you." As he spoke, he took out a thick magic book from his spatial ring and handed it to Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan took a look and saw Deken's signature on the magic book, obviously this magic book was Deken's treasure.
"Thank you." Zhang Yuan saluted and sincerely thanked the dean of the college who sincerely helped him.
"Demon warrior belongs to the branch of the magician and samurai department, although you are a demon warrior as the main profession, but if you can integrate the magic of each department to control your own mana, I think, your magic martial arts will become more powerful, which is also your future development direction."
"I'll take a closer look." Zhang Yuan said seriously.
Deken smiled: "In this defense battle against the barbarian invasion, in order not to affect the unified deployment of the army, the academy will not send teachers to follow, and you must obey the command of the army commander." Led by Filra, a senior apprentice of the Warrior Department Academy. In fact, the apprentices participate in the war just to let you better understand the war scene, have more experience, and there will be no dangerous tasks for you to perform, you just need to be careful. Go ahead, I'm sure you'll learn a lot from the war. But I would like to remind you that if you encounter danger, your own safety is the most important thing. After all, you're just apprentices, not really soldiers. ”
"Teacher, how long will this war last?" Zhang Yuan asked. In his mind, he didn't have much concept of war, and the enemy he faced was a barbarian. ”
Deken said: "Generally speaking, our Erathia counterattack must be very fast, and the barbarians only have a chance to grab food for one or two months, beyond which they will be severely damaged when the Erathia army arrives. So, at that point, they should have retreated. Zhang Yuan, I remember you came from Deail, right? Zhang Yuan nodded.
Deken hesitated for a moment and said, "If you want, you can officially join the Kingdom of Erathia." Zhang Yuan looked at him with some surprise, and then said with relief: "Okay, anyway, I'm not from De El, I belong to the unemployed vagrant." ”
Deken smiled slightly, he didn't expect Zhang Yuan to agree so happily and neatly, in his heart Diel was not even as good as a city in Curiti, he believed that the powerful Kingdom of Erathia would definitely be able to absorb Zhang Yuan, a rare talent. However, he didn't expect that Zhang Yuan was not a person from Di Air, and he didn't have the concept of any regional country. If he can distinguish between them, it is that classifying races may allow Zhang Yuan to have a certain concept of distinction!
The call-up order of the Kingdom of Erathia was officially issued the next day, and the one hundred and twenty apprentices of the Curiti Demon Martial Arts Academy who participated in the battle were organized into a mixed formation alone, and they would rush to the border town of the Kingdom of Erathia, opposite the fortress of the God of War City, together with a thousand-strong regiment of heavy cavalry from the Imperial Capital.
And the one who led them to the front line was also a big man from the Kingdom of Erathia. That is one of the two generalissios of the Kingdom of Erathia, the dragon knight with the title of the patron saint of Curiti, and the prince of the royal family of Vultureheart of the Lion.
For the Kingdom of Erathia, this defense battle was mainly to protect the territory from being plundered by barbarians, and it was mainly on defense. Of the two marshals of the Empire, Bolton was good at defensive warfare, so it was most appropriate for him to preside over this campaign.
Early in the morning, Zhang Yuan, together with other selected apprentices, came to the central competition field to wait. The heavy cavalry regiment that was about to rush to the front line came here to pick them up and set off together.
The magicians all looked indifferent, they were all wearing their own magic robes, and they looked very relaxed. Most of the people who were able to come to Curiti to study had a good family background. And behind the powerful magician, a lot of wealth and resources are needed.
Therefore, almost every mage who participated in this battle against the barbarians had their own spatial ring. They may have a lot of belongings, but they can't be seen on the surface.
The warriors were not so lucky, many of them carried a lot of things on their backs, after all, people and items like Merkaka who used precious disposable space balls were too extravagant, and it was impossible for any samurai to use space balls to hold ordinary items.
The warriors and knights of the samurai department were not as calm as the magicians, but they were excited, and they were all looking forward to stepping onto the battlefield. There are many madmen like Merkaka in the samurai lineage.
Warriors are meant to actually go to war, and mages are the most important objects of protection in war, which is one of the main reasons for the difference in mentality.
"Zhang Yuan, this time we are going to fight side by side." Ha Weilong, the chief magician apprentice of the nascent earth department, stood beside Zhang Yuan and smiled. Zhang Yuandao: "Haweilong, have you ever participated in the war?" ”
Ha Weilong, the chief magician apprentice of the nascent earth department, shook his head and said, "Of course not, war is cruel, it is said that death and disability are the most common things, I hope we all have enough psychological endurance to adapt to war." By the way, I heard that the chief apprentice of the knights, Hashra, said that he can defeat you lightly, so you have to be careful of that gorilla! "The chief magician apprentice of the earth department, Ha Weilon, said.
"Boy, who do you say is a gorilla?" A loud and cold voice rang out. A burly young man in heavy armor walked over from the other side at some point.
The golden hair that emerged from the helmet, the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks and a somewhat handsome appearance, deliberately released a huge fluctuation of fighting energy, as if they wanted to deliberately create pressure on Zhang Yuan and the others.
Ha Weilong, the chief magician apprentice of the earth department, smiled silently, and Zhang Yuan on the side said kindly, as usual: "Hello, I am from the Demon Martial Arts Department, and my name is Zhang Yuan. ”
Hashera snorted coldly and said, "Hashera, the master of the knight apprenticeship." Unexpectedly, this time the New Apprentice Contest actually made you a member of the Demon Martial Arts Department win the championship. Zhang Yuan, I want to challenge you. ”
"Challenge? Right now? Zhang Yuan looked at him with some surprise. Hashira said proudly: "For a knight, it often only takes a moment to defeat an opponent. What, you're scared? ”
Zhang Yuan frowned slightly, and said: "We are about to go to the battlefield, we are all comrades-in-arms, just forget it about learning martial arts or something." ”
