Chapter 298: The Baptism of War
Soon, the nameless guest saw this little guy, not very old, thirteen or fourteen years old, full of the vitality of a young man.
Xiao Seventy was nervous, for him, the nameless guest was a great person, although he was a close friend of the teacher, but he was still a little excited.
"Show me what the letter says, brother!" said the anonymous guest.
Xiao Qi hurriedly handed the letter to the nameless guest.
In fact, the content in it is very simple, first report safety, saying that everything is normal at home, don't worry.
Then he said a lot of scattered little things.
It wasn't until the end of the letter that Xiao Qi was mentioned, saying that Xiao Qi was a very talented child, and this time he came mainly to join the army and let the unknown guest take care of it!
Knowing that everything is fine at home, the nameless guest is quietly relieved, after all, his wife is pregnant, and he is always at ease!
"Well, I already know what the letter says, you are here to join the army? You are a little young, and although the current form is very serious, it is not the turn of a child to go to the battlefield! You may not know how dangerous the battlefield is!" said the nameless guest earnestly.
The nameless guest looks young, in fact, he is over half a hundred years old, and he married a little wife, and the old man chats about juvenile madness, so when he is with other people, others think that the nameless guest is just a young man.
But in his eyes, Xiao Qi is a child.
"This is my own decision, and Master agreed, in this catastrophe, my hometown was destroyed by orcs, and I want to kill the enemy to take revenge!" Xiao Qi said firmly.
"Okay, it's okay to join the army, but you have to know that since you have become a soldier, you have to obey orders thoroughly, which is not good for anyone's face, and your master is useless. Are you mentally prepared for this?" asked the anonymous guest.
"It's done!" Xiao Qi said firmly.
"Do you have any options, do you want to enter that army?" asked the anonymous man, still satisfied with the child.
"When I came, I passed by an army and I wanted to join this army. By the way, it was their soldiers who escorted me here!" Xiao Qi said.
The anonymous guest nodded: "Okay, since it's your own decision, I won't stop it, remember, in the army, it's more complicated than the outside society, learn more, watch more, do more, talk less, you are a smart child, I don't need to say more." If you run into any trouble, let me know and I'll help you out!"
When he said the last sentence, the nameless guest deliberately raised his voice so that the soldiers behind Xiao Qi could hear it.
Invisibly, Xiao Qi has another big backer in the army!
"Uncle, don't worry, I'm ...... I have a sense of proportion!" Xiao Qi said.
"Okay, let's go back, there's likely to be a big fight in the near future, be ready at any time!" said the nameless guest.
The twenty soldiers sent Xiao Qi back to the barracks to each other, and the battalion commander was still a little anxious, afraid that Xiao Qi would not return, but when he saw that Xiao Qi really came back as promised, he was overjoyed.
"Brother is back, by the way, you still don't know my name! My name is Tang Lu, just call me Brother Tang, we will be a family in the future, if you need to tell me at any time!" Brother Tang patted his chest and said.
This is the best time to hug the thighs, and fools can see that this is Lord Ah Gu sending his disciples to experience, and the disciples who can be favored by Lord Ah Gu are absolutely extraordinary, and maybe their own glory and wealth in the future will depend on this child.
Xiao Qi is actually not stupid at all, it's just that he has little social experience, and this thing can be learned slowly, which is why Ah Gu asked him to join the army.
"Brother, this is the silver coin you exchanged in the morning, a total of forty-two silver coins, you put it away!"
Xiao Qi put away the silver coins, which is a huge amount of money for a child!
In this way, Xiao Qi lived in the barracks.
Seven days have passed, and on the night of the seventh day, Xiao Qi was studying the notes given to him by Ah Gu, when suddenly there was a rapid whistle outside.
"Woo woo woo !!"
After studying in the barracks for the past few days, he knew that this was the signal of the enemy's night attack.
"Not good, there are enemies!" Xiao Qiyi pulled out his wand and hurried outside.
The left side of the barracks was already in chaos, and in the darkness, a little turquoise light could be seen swimming, it was nothing else, it was the eyes of the orcs.
"Oh no, battalion commander, there are orcs attacking the camp, almost two hundred people......" A soldier hurriedly ran over.
Orcs have far better eyesight than humans, and with just a little light, they can see in the dark.
But humans can't.
"Whoosh!"
A flurry of arrows fired, and more than a dozen soldiers were wounded by the arrows and lay on the ground.
Xiao Qi's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he was at a loss, this was the first battle he had experienced, but he didn't expect the situation to be so grim.
"Fireball!"
Xiao Qi threw a fireball at the orcs in the dark, and regardless of whether it could hit or not, the place where the firelight passed illuminated a road.
Suddenly, Xiao Qi realized that the reason why the human soldiers fell in just a few minutes was not because their combat power was inferior to that of orcs, but because their eyes couldn't see anything at all in the dark.
"Fireball!
In the dark, Xiao Qi faintly saw a big tree in front of him by the starlight, and he hit it with a string of fireballs, although he didn't knock down the big tree, but the trunk of the big tree began to burn, and after a while, the fire soared into the sky.
With fire and light, the soldiers who were originally panicked saw at least a little light!
"Well done, archers, shoot me! Shoot these bastards!" shouted Tom.
The crossbowmen who had been preparing for a long time shot at the same time, although the orcs were strong, they had no armor, and no matter how powerful their flesh and blood were, they could not stop the sharp arrows and crossbows.
In one volley, thirty or forty orcs fell to the ground.
"Thunder Summoning!"
After a period of practice, Xiao Qi's lightning summoning technique could already be extended to fifteen meters away, and only a flash of lightning was seen, and three orcs were pierced by thunder and lightning.
"There are magicians, they have magicians!"
One of the orcs shouted.
Xiao Qi sneered, along the way, he fought with orcs a lot, knowing that orcs were actually very afraid of magic, it was like a mouse seeing a cat.
Fear comes from the unknown.
Orcs who grew up in the Great Ice Fields could not understand this magical power, so they felt a sense of fear.
As soon as they heard that there was a magician, the morale of the orc soldiers dropped by three points.
Xiao Qi raised his hand and another thunderbolt slashed over.
"Surround me with these grandsons, the archers shoot me hard, I want to see what other skills these grandsons have!" Brother Tang is also considered to be experienced in a hundred battles, although the raid at the beginning made the military camp chaotic, but with the help of Xiao Qi, he quickly turned the situation around, not only that, but he also surrounded this group of orcs, ready to be annihilated in one fell swoop!
The orcs are surrounded, and they are not afraid of death, but they are more fierce, and often the more fierce the people who look out, the more cowardly they are in the face of death!
Xiao Qi released more than a dozen thunder-summoning spells in a row, until his magic power was exhausted, and sweat oozed from his forehead.
More than forty orcs died at his hands.
When Tom himself slashed the neck of the last orc with his great sword, the soldiers let out cheers.
This is one of the few battles that fights back in the dark and wins the battle.
Brother Tang said this matter, it was enough for him to blow for a lifetime!
"There is a magician who is different, and he is victorious!hahahaha!" Brother Tang patted Xiao Qi's shoulder and laughed.
But Xiao Qi couldn't laugh, a lot of people died in this battle, the original military camp of more than 1,000 people, after this battle, there were only more than 700 people left, that is to say, although 200 orcs were killed, but more than 300 soldiers were lost, was this battle lost or won?
Brother Tang saw Xiao Qi's appearance and patted Xiao Qi's shoulder: "If you fight, you will die, I know that this is the first time for you, and you may not be able to think about it in your heart, but more people will die in the future, hundreds of thousands and millions of deaths, until these orcs are killed!"
said so, but Xiao Qi never laughed, many of these soldiers were his friends, but after only one night, they turned into cold corpses!
He suddenly understood a little bit of why Ah Gu asked him to join the army!
But you can't face death, and you can never be a strong person.
"Brother Tang, don't worry, I'm fine!" Xiao Qiqiang smiled.
Brother Tang patted him on the shoulder, after all, this is only a fourteen-year-old child, and he can't ask too high: "You're tired today, go and get a good night's sleep and rest! Wait for tomorrow I will ask you for credit, just came to our military camp and made such a great achievement, in the future, don't forget my old brother!"
Xiao Qi just smiled and didn't say much!
The next day, Brother Tang reported the incident, and sure enough, he was rewarded, the orcs are notoriously strong in night raids, but I didn't expect to lose a handful of rice instead of stealing chickens this time.
"Ladies and gentlemen, through this battle, I have a good way to fight the night raid battle!" Brother Tang said.
Several people next to him, whose official positions were far higher than him, heard him say, and hurriedly asked: "If there is a good way, I will let you be promoted to three levels in a row!"
Human beings fight night raids against orcs, but they endure all the pain, there is no way, people's eyes can see things at night, but you can't see, people beat you, you can only endure it.
"In the southeast and northwest of the barracks, spread hay on the ground, sprinkle fire oil on it, let the archers keep an eye on this place all the time, if you find an orc invasion, use a rocket to ignite this place, and then the fire will soar into the sky, even if you can't beat the orc, it's okay to scare him, and as long as there is a fire, our numbers are superior, and it's not impossible to fight back!"
Several generals looked at each other, this method is not impossible, but there is a certain danger, in case the orcs know about it, lighting the hay fire in advance, it is likely to burn the barracks!
"There are pros and cons, why don't we try it first, and if it really works, we will definitely reward you!" said one of the generals.
"General Xie!"
Sometimes fighting a war is like this, the solution is what everyone comes up with, the so-called three stinkers can't stand the light is not empty talk, a person's intelligence is the strongest, there will also be blind spots, it's better to figure out a way together!
Just when the southern countries were eyeing these orcs, a very, very bad news came out, the elven prince led an army of 1.5 million to the west, and after this period of stability, the fallen Xiyan Empire has become a new position for people, and the Xiyan Empire was springboarded to storm the Night Ice Country!
The Night Ice Kingdom had already lost half of its territory, suffered heavy casualties, and lost its hearts, and at this time, it had to face the elven king's army of one and a half million, and even many generals had the idea of escaping.
This general Lao Tzu is inappropriate, who loves should be!
The nameless guest who got the news had no choice but to go north to help the Night Ice Country.
After all, there is another trump card in the southern countries, and that is Yan Ji.
