Chapter 42: The Magic of the Main War
"Gollum"
Roy drank a large glass of chilled grape juice in one gulp, let out a happy sigh of happiness, touched his bulging belly, and collapsed in his chair not wanting to move.
On the wooden table in front of him, a plate of roasted clams, a leg of lamb with yogurt, and a plate of bacon were swept away by him like a wind. The bare plate and the bones that were cleaner than a dog had ever gnawed, it was hard to imagine how so much food could fit into this kid's thin body.
"Pig!"
Ivy pursed her lips and withdrew her gaze from the filthy creature and continued to focus on her own reality.
This is Ivy's barracks, a self-contained cabin with a bedroom, a living room, a real room, and a small courtyard surrounded by a wooden fence.
Behind the hut, there is a small river with clear spring water, mossy stones, and a small forest on the left and right, which is cut off from the hustle and bustle of the barracks, like a paradise. Dozens of meters away from the hut, there is a fence, and the entrance and exit gate are guarded by guards, and no one can approach this place without permission.
Roy was brought in by Ivy.
When Ivy found Roy, he had just finished unloading a dozen wagons of grain, and was carrying a small dish of cloudy vegetable soup and a hard ere loaf of bread with a sad face. His whole body was covered in dust, and even his hair was covered in powder and grass clippings.
If it weren't for Ivy's carefulness, I almost didn't recognize him.
"I need a few people to help!" In order not to make Roy too conspicuous, Ivy used work as an excuse to order a few students, including Giles, and led them away.
As the second medical officer in the battalion, she couldn't refuse even the commander of the rear battalion and the chief quartermaster, let alone Hope, the small captain of the escort team. Originally, he had planned to arrange work for Roy in the evening. I could only watch as Ivy led people away.
The only consolation is that Roy was called to work.
Unbeknownst to Hope, as soon as he arrived at Ivy's cabin, Roy was separated from several other students waiting for him. It's the sumptuous dinner in front of you.
For this precious student, the teachers in the dark camp can be said to be very concerned. Every move since he entered the camp was under the watchful eye of the instructors. Therefore, everyone knows how miserable this kid's life is, and prepared this table of food early to improve his life.
"I've asked somebody," said Steve, sitting across from the table, dressed in gray robes, hiding most of his figure in the shadows of the light, looking like a ghost. "The assignment of Brigade E to the rear camp was requested by several noble lords on the grounds that the logistical escort force was strengthened. β
"Noble Lord" Roy wiped his mouth, a curious and playful look on his face, "It can't be Mrs. Joyce, right?"
Steve shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, "It's not clear. However, after General Fano left. The men in the hands of General Eugene could not afford such a big situation. A number of new officers have been appointed to various branches of the coalition forces. Most of them were knights under the lords and nobles.
Especially in logistics, there are more than eighty percent of the officers. All of them are under the lord's hands. Although the lords were just decorations in the headquarters and had nothing to say to the military command, it was not difficult for them to affect the distribution of two hundred freshmen. β
Steve's tone was lighthearted. Although Roy and a bunch of boys from Team E suffered a little in the army. However, in the eyes of him and the Dark Camp Instructors, this is not a big deal.
Even in the regular border army and even in the Royal Knights, it is common for recruits to be bullied by veterans, let alone in this kind of coalition army cobbled together by the private soldiers of the major lords?
Essentially. This is no different from the rabble.
A bunch of rude men from all over the world, all over the world, get together, what good can they expect? Those who don't have clean mouths, those who steal things with unclean hands and feet, those who have conflicts between lords, those who fight when they meet, and those who get carried away once they have power, all kinds of strange things.
In the past few days, they don't know how many bastards they have heard of in the army.
The night before, on the Champs-ΓlysΓ©es in the middle of the city, two groups of lords' private soldiers got drunk and fought. The conflict grew from one tavern to an entire street. Even the sergeants who rushed to maintain order were beaten. In the end, it was the military judges who led the law enforcement team to calm down.
Afterwards, the reason was that it was a boring guy who poured wine on other people's heads for fun.
Earlier, there were also fights outside the city. In the end, I learned that it turned out to be a group of villagers in the lord's private army, who found a good piece of land on the edge of the barracks, and planted crops without incident, but they fought because of the fight for water. The military judge who went to deal with it couldn't help but laugh.
As for the brave and ruthless in the camp, spitting on the wrong word, hitting people on the shoulder when they are idle, and then laughing, there are countless things.
To be honest, the teachers of the dark camp don't understand why Roy is so unlucky. However, everyone didn't think deeply. It was just an accident that the E Brigade was assigned to the rear battalion, and that he met a group of officers who didn't take them seriously.
As long as those guys don't go too far and don't threaten Roy's safety, everyone will turn a blind eye. After all, this is in the army, and even Gustas can't get involved. Moreover, from a security point of view, it is better to be assigned to the logistics escort team than to enter the forward battalion and the Chinese army.
If there was a real fight, the rear camp would definitely be much safer.
This point is the most important thing for the group of old men who value Roy's life more than their own.
Hearing Steve's words, the corners of Roy's mouth hooked, and he knew that his guess was one step closer to the truth of the truth - there were indeed the shadows of the noble lords behind the scenes!
"Well, you'll have to endure it during the day," said Steve, "and it won't tire you from doing that little work anyway." The training taught by Kameni is much more tiring than this. As for the food...... We'll prepare a table for you every night, and you'll come and eat. β
In front of the stage, Ivy pursed her lips, quite resentful.
Once you have entered the barracks, you naturally have to abide by the military system. The same goes for eating and living. This table of food, even she can't enjoy. Not to mention a small rear camp guard.
What's even more annoying is that this table of dishes was brought in by Steve himself. A great sage who was respectful even to the princes and nobles when he saw it, became a servant who delivered meals, and he felt that he should be, which had to make people angry! Roy, this kid, really has such a treasure?!
"Alright. Hurry up to class when you're full, time is running out. β
Evie's jealousy, Steve couldn't feel it. For him, teaching Roy a lesson was a big deal. The dark camp is such a precious student, if he is not reluctant, he can't wait to pour all the knowledge he has accumulated all his life into Roy's brain.
One old and one young, in the living room, began to teach.
Those days in the academy. Although it was not long, Roy had already mastered the basic theory of magic, the history of magic, classification, the basics of the elements, the basics of the elemental array, the transformation of the elements, and the basic control of mana. Basic knowledge of magic such as magic release formulas and gestures.
Roy has a high level of understanding, and has a natural elemental eye and the ability to affinity with the six elements. What others need several classes to master, to him, is almost just a glance. Up to now, his attainments in magic have reached the level of second-year magic students.
Of course, this is compared to the magic level of his Dragon Moon Magician. It's not enough.
The power of a magician, in addition to magical power, is also a key component of it. If you only learn how to cast magic, you are like a craftsman who only knows the stereotypical work. You can never be a great artist.
In this class, it is the elements and astrology.
Just as the waxing and waning of the magic moon affects the tides, the different astrological aspects also affect the elements between heaven and earth. Identifying the astrological aspects and learning the relationship between the astrological aspects and the elements will enable you to make better use of the elements.
For example, when the sun god is in the house of Gemini or Virgo, the water element is in full bloom. This period of time is the time when the combat power of water magicians is the strongest.
And in the elemental array composition of water magic, there are also many Gemini and Virgo astrological structures. The elemental array of this structure is called the astral elemental array. With the basic structure mastered, mages were able to quickly build elemental arrays and unleash magic. At the same time, it is also possible to convert between multiple spells with the same structure.
For example...... As Steve explained, he waved his hand to release a fourth-level water magic shield, a semicircular layer of azure ice crystals, centered on his body, flying and spinning.
As Steve's gesture changed, the shield-shaped ice crystals suddenly melted into suspended balls of water. The water balloon wriggled, and the blue birds fluttered their wings and flew towards the wall. When he was about to blast the hut out of a few big holes, with Steve's backhand pressing, it suddenly turned into a cloud of white mist and disappeared.
This hand is really beautiful. It only made Roy dizzy.
In the hands of the great sage, the use of magic is almost superb.
"The water shield and the water bird are both elemental arrays of the Gemini structure, and the difference is that the external elemental array structure is different. As long as you master the Gemini Astrological Structure, when you release these two magics, you can transform them at will......" Steve looked at Roy and said with some smugness, "Don't worry, as long as you practice a lot, you can master it." It's just intermediate magic knowledge, and it's not that hard. It took me less than a week to ......."
Before the words fell, Roy excitedly released a water shield, his hands turned over and over, and he muttered to himself, "The twin structure remains the same, remove here...... Convert the above third-level triangular elemental array into a second-level four-cornered elemental array, and then ...... Wrong...... It should be ......"
"Oh no, Mr. Steve, catch ......"
With Roy's shout, Steve, who was stunned, only saw the water shield turn into water birds, and under the scramble of the black-haired boy, they shot towards him. Except that it can't be dissipated at will, the whole transformation process is not bad at all!
"Little bastard, you ......," Steve scolded, and a wall of fire flashed in front of him, engulfing the waterfowl released by Roy. The expression on his face was shocked, and he couldn't laugh or cry.
Although this kid's magical talent has long been undoubted. However, every time he saw the proud skills he had imparted, in the hands of this kid, it was as simple as playing, and he had to make Steve feel the urge to strangle the brunette boy with jealousy.
You must know that whether it is himself or Hove, Gustas, who was also known as a genius in the past, has also put a lot of hard work into learning these skills.
Steve still remembers being in front of a beautiful girl in his class. The price of casually demonstrating the same skills is a whole week of sleepless hard practice. Just to perceive the elements, it used up his mental power several times, making him nauseous and uncomfortable, and exhausted to death.
And what about Roy...... Damn, from his own explanation to his completion. If you have half of Roy's talent, I'm afraid you would have broken through the Great Sage Realm that had been stagnant for many years and promoted to the Law God!
Thinking of this, Steve couldn't help but grit his teeth and said viciously: "Okay, since you have mastered it so quickly, then let's continue to learn!"
One old and one young, one teaches and one learns, and they are extra lively in the living room.
Ivy's real yΓ n. I couldn't do it anymore, so I held my chin and watched from the side.
Although she was reluctant in her heart, she still had to admit that Roy was really the treasure of a group of old men, including her father.
Who would have thought that this kid was just a small handyman in Baron Pollabel's mansion a year and a half ago, and he didn't have the slightest talent for cultivating fighting spirit. It is referred to by many as scrap wood. Even when he was admitted to the training camp, he was already eighteen years old. It's just condensed the battle ring.
And in just over a month, this kid's fighting spirit has broken through from the first order to the second order, and the realm has leapt from one star of armed to one star of bravery!
If this is not surprising, there are many geniuses with family resources who can reach the same speed, and there are people like Diarra who suspect that they rely on the limits of drugs to improve, then. His talent for magic and magic patterns, as well as his terrifying perception in his studies, are enough to silence anyone!
"Aquarius structure, changes in earth magicTaurus structure, changes in gold magic" In the living room, Steve seemed to be more energetic. Teach faster and faster. More and more.
And the annoying thing is that the black-haired kid can easily grasp it, looking at the beaten expression, it seems that it is too simple, and it is a little unpleasant.
"Stinky boy. β
When Roy successfully completed the conversion of two magic with the same star structure again, Steve stared at him and was depressed for a long time before he suddenly laughed out loud and cursed.
"Monster!" Ivy looked at Roy who had been slapped on the head from a distance, looking confused with his neck shrunk, and cursed in his heart angrily, and wanted to laugh a little. It seems that this night has become beautiful because of the warm scene between the old and the young in the living room.
Even if their real yΓ n has been messed up by them who are making a fuss!
"Alright. This knowledge of the stars and elements doesn't seem to be difficult for you," Steve said to Roy, "That's all for this lesson." However, astrology is vast and profound, and its relationship with magic is inextricably linked, and it should not be taken lightly. Mastering astrology is the basic course of a qualified magician. This is not something that can be covered in a short time, and you can read the rest for yourself in the book we gave you."
Seeing that Roy agreed, Steve said, "Now, let's talk about your current main battle magic. β
After being promoted to a magician, after frantically absorbing spiritual power in the Tower of Fantasy, Roy's current magic level has broken through nine thousand magic codes, and he will soon break through ten thousand magic codes and be promoted to the realm of a two-star magic wizard.
Generally speaking, the highest level of magic that a one-star magician can unleash is a level 7 magic with a mana consumption standard of two thousand to five thousand. The main battle magic is a fifth-level magic with a mana level of 500 to 1,000, and a sixth-level magic with a mana level of between 1,000 and 2,000.
As for the eighth-level magic with a magic power consumption of more than 5,000, because of the relationship between magic power and perception requirements, only high-level magicians with more than four stars can cast it.
Roy, on the other hand, is an exception.
"How many level 8 magic do you know now?" asked Steve.
It stands to reason that it is impossible for a one-star magician to master the eighth-level magic. In addition to the fact that the magic power requirements of the eighth-level magic are too high, and a single magic can drain all the magic power of the magician, the elemental array, which is far more complex than the seventh-level magic, is also a problem that plagues low-level magicians.
If you want to have enough magic and perception to control level 8 magic, you need to be promoted to at least a four-star magician.
However, Steve and the other dark camp instructors had seen with their own eyes that Roy, this kid, had released the eighth-level Great Restraint Technique when he was teaching desperately with Quake.
"One. Roy scratched his scalp and replied, "It's just a big bondage." β
"What about level 7 magic?" Steve asked again.
"Spring bamboo shoots are angry, fire dragons and flame tigers. Dance of the Crows......" Roy counted with his fingers, "...... Eleven. β
Steve nodded.
Roy learned these magics, which were consistent with their judgment.
Before joining the first training camp, Roy's magic was completely wild. Not only do you not know some basic magic knowledge, but the magic you learn is also some big goods.
Magic is divided into overt magic and secret magic. The so-called big road goods refers to open magic.
This kind of magic. In the eyes of ordinary people, perhaps mysterious and powerful. However, for magicians, it is not very practical.
You know, the development of magic over thousands of years has made these magic familiar to every magician. Whether it's the elemental array arrangement, the gestures when casting, the spells, and their strengths and weaknesses. Every magician, from the beginning of the study of magic, has studied it thoroughly, and there are no secrets to speak of.
You will, everyone else will. And other people's secret magic, you can't.
Before you can make a move, the other party has already judged your magic through some details and taken countermeasures, even faster than you. Still skilled, how can this be played?
Especially experience. In battles between magicians of the same level who are similar in all aspects such as magic, the choice of magic is the key to determining the outcome of life and death. A magician who uses overt magic is hardly the opponent of a magician who uses secret magic!
Therefore, letting Roy learn secret magic is a top priority to ensure that he has a higher survivability on the battlefield.
The wizarding world is vast. Different magicians. They have different personalities, hobbies and specialties. Therefore, the magical path chosen is also different.
Some people are born with an affinity for the fire element and are straightforward and short-tempered. Such people. Best suited to become a "heavy gunner". Whether in the army or in the mage squad, they are responsible for the role of powerful firepower.
Others, on the other hand, have an affinity for the water element. Perception is sharp and the mind is flexible. What such a person is best at is overcoming rigidity with softness. He can often use low-level magic to kill stronger opponents. Fighting with them is like fighting with the same piece of kraft candy that can't be shaken off and chewed, which is extremely uncomfortable.
Therefore, designing the path of magic according to the nature and talent of the students, playing to their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses is the ability that a qualified magic teacher must have.
This is not a difficult task for Gustas, Hough and Steve, who have a wealth of teaching experience.
However, when it came to developing a targeted magical training plan for Roy, they had a bit of a hard time.
In terms of elemental affinity, Roy is a six-elemental master!
In terms of perception, this kid is only a one-star magician, and he is already able to release eighth-level magic.
As for mana control and release, they had never seen a guy release magic so quickly and so accurately. In the battle between him and Scarlett, the scene where the magic released by Scarlett was cracked by him first, is still fresh in people's memories.
It stands to reason that such a genius is easier to train.
However, as magicians, Steve and the others also came from young magicians, and they understand the breadth and profundity of magic better than anyone else, and they also understand the truth of being greedy and chewing more than anyone else.
It makes them very conflicted.
Although they believe that if they choose any path, this kid will achieve amazing achievements, but this also means that he wastes more talent.
In the past few days, everyone has gritted their teeth when they were discussing.
First, they couldn't help but feel jealous of this kid's talent, even as his teacher.
Second, such a terrifying talent, if it can be evenly distributed among multiple people, and cultivated in the future, it will be enough for the first training camp to bully the other two training camps miserably. But these are all concentrated on this kid alone.
This is God's love, and it is also an extremely unpleasant waste.
Especially when they thought that this kid still called himself a knight and ran on the knight's road, the magic teachers couldn't wait to beat him up and ravage him over and over again!
Everyone is very nervous. Worldly magic, open, secret, known, unknown, ancient, elemental, spiritual, derivative, illusionary, etc., etc., What magic you choose to learn means what magic you embark on.
Water system, fire system. Earth, wind, control, attack, defense, and group warfare. Solo ...... One idea after another was put forward, and one by one it was rejected.
It feels like there is a treasure trove in front of you, and all you can take away is just one of them. Whichever one you take, it means giving up more!
The discussion of this issue began as early as when Roy first joined the dark camp. But even though several magic mentors quarreled, they couldn't come to a conclusion.
Until Roy faced his opponent's string of mixed magic in an intra-academy match two days ago. Finally let the mentors make up their minds!
Mix magic!
The most esoteric, mysterious, varied, and powerful series in this magical world was born for Roy, a kid!
However, it is also the hardest and most arduous road.
First of all, learn the first and foremost conditions for mixing magic. It is to have two or more elemental affinities. A normal monophyllic mage, though they can also unleash the magic of other elements. But it couldn't control multiple elements at the same time, let alone build it into a magical elemental array.
Secondly, hybrid magic has extremely high requirements for perception, and the requirements for micro-control of magic are even more perverted.
After all, the elements are mutually reinforcing and unpredictable. In the process of fusion. The slightest mistake will make a big mistake. At worst, the magic will fail in battle, and the opponent will chase and beat you, or even cause elemental chaos and magic backlash, destroying yourself.
Because of this. The time and effort involved in learning a hybrid spell is far greater than learning several monophytes. So much so that although every magician knew that in the same level or even one level lower, the power of mixed magic was greater, and they were not willing to spend their energy on the cultivation of mixed magic.
And even if it is learning, everyone is willing to learn low-level hybrid magic that can be quickly mastered when perception and magic are raised to a higher level.
Take the training camp magic students as an example, a Langxing magician student who can master level 6 magic usually goes to learn level 3 mixed magic. And a Dragon Moon Wizard student who can skillfully use seventh-level magic is good if he can master fourth-level mixed magic.
Of course, the teachers weren't going to let Roy do that.
In that case, you might as well not learn!
However, if the seventh-level hybrid magic was set as Roy's main battle magic, they would have to consider the problem of learning efficiency.
According to the difficulty of the mixed magic, the mentors estimated that in ten days, Roy could master two sixth-level mixed main battle magic, which was already good. This is still the result of everyone's calculation of his extraordinary talent. If it's a seventh-level mixed magic, I'm afraid that I won't be able to learn one in half a month.
As for the eighth-level hybrid magic, everyone actually didn't think about it at all.
This is also where the teachers are more hesitant.
Steve came today, in addition to giving Roy a lesson, he also went through the discussion of the tutors, hoping to communicate with Roy first and give it a try.
"Sit down," Stephen motioned for Roy to sit down, and he sat down in his chair as well, "I've consulted with some of your other instructors. You have now been promoted to the rank of Dragon Moon Magician, which can be regarded as stepping into the ranks of intermediate magicians. Therefore, it is necessary to build your own main battle magic. β
Roy nodded, listening intently.
In fact, this question has been being considered by himself for some time now.
A mage, usually when promoted to the rank of Langxing Mage, begins to specialize in magic to build a main battle magic with a strong personal style. This is not only the need for more efficient fighting, but also the way forward.
As for himself, because he had not systematically studied magic knowledge before, and there was no one to guide him. Therefore, although the magic power has broken through the 5,000 magic code mark, in terms of magic foundation, it is a mess. Not to mention determining your own style and building the main battle magic.
Now that you have laid a solid foundation for basic magical knowledge, it's time to take it a step further.
"I've discussed with a few of your other teachers and want to make your main battle magic a hybrid magic," Steve looked at Roy and said, "Your comprehension is very strong, your perception is good, and you have a talent for the affinity of the six elements, if you don't learn mixed magic, it will be too wasteful." β
Roy's eyes lit up slightly.
Two days earlier, he had tasted the sweetness of mixed magic. If it weren't for the hybrid magic, it would have been difficult for him to block Team B's Allen's battle ring stack that gathered the strength of the entire team! Moreover, it was only the most superficial and low-level magic mixture in the hybrid magic. Compared to the real mixing magic of fusing different elements into a single elemental array. Nothing.
He has a lively and fickle nature, and this kind of magic is exactly what he wants.
"But......" Steve said with a frown, citing the difficulty of learning mixed magic and everyone's concerns, "...... When it comes to secret hybrid magic, the academy has a few of them. We have quite a few in our hands. Whether we can learn it and form combat effectiveness, we are not sure. β
"Does it take that long?" Roy was a little surprised to hear the difficulty of mixing magic.
"Of course," Steve said, "among magicians, there are not many who have a two-element affinity, that is, a three-element affinity, a four-element affinity, and it is not nothing. But. That's why all of them would choose one or two of the most affinity elements as their specializations, and would even rather practice each elemental magic than the more powerful hybrid magic. β
He sighed, "It's too hard and too time-consuming to mix magic. Mages who have studied single-line magic have mastered hundreds, and mages who have studied mixed magic may not be able to master even five. In order to be the main battle magic, the first requirement is to master a certain amount of magic. This. You should understand. β
Roy nodded.
Magic is unpredictable. Face the same opponent in the battle of the magician. Some magicians can defeat with level 3 magic, and some magicians may lose with level 5 magic. Therefore, depending on the shape, the use of targeted magic is the basic skill of a qualified magician.
And this is based on a sufficient amount of magic.
If only there were a few spells. Even if it's a powerful hybrid magic, I'm afraid it's going to be crushed and beaten by someone.
"Alright, it's not early," Steve looked at the time, pulled out a parchment roll and handed it to Roy. "Here, there is a sixth-level mixed magic and a seventh-level mixed magic, both of which are secret magic in the academy. You take it first and try to learn. See how efficient it is, what you have in mind, tomorrow, Hove will teach you, you tell him. β
"Yes, Mr. Steve. Roy took the parchment and was about to open it, when he saw Steve come out with a thick book.
"This is a book that Williams taught me to bring to you. β
"Oh?" Roy said curiously, "What is this?"
"Inside is the magic pattern diagram of the magic pattern of the Tower of Fantasy that Williams taught to reproduce by hand. He allows you to do your own research when you have free time. β
Roy took the book, surprised and moved.
The time he lived in the academy was not long, and the time he spent in the Tower of Fantasy was even shorter, and after leaving, he never forgot the magic pattern of the Tower of Fantasy.
Originally, I thought that after this battle, if the situation could be stabilized, I would go back to study it myself. Unexpectedly, Williams taught that all the magic patterns were reproduced. Although it is only a construction diagram, not a real magic pattern, the workload is also huge.
When he thought of the teachings of Williams, who was usually taciturn, and even had a cold nose and a cold face towards Gustas, put down his beloved and nervous research, and took a ladder to copy the magic pattern for himself in the Tower of Fantasy, he felt an indescribable warmth in his heart.
After explaining this, Steve left first.
Since there was no private space after returning to the barracks, Roy decided to stay a little longer. He carefully tucked Williams' book into the spatial ring, then unfolded the parchment scroll.
On the parchment scroll, on the left is recorded a sixth-level magic called [Secret: Dragon's Eagle's Voice], which is a hybrid attack type magic of the wind and gold systems. On the right, there is a seventh-level hybrid magic called [Secret, Earth Fire Trap]. It is a three-system hybrid control of earth, fire, and wood.
The previous magic is nothing. The latter seventh-level magic came at the right time for Roy, who had an unusual interest in this type of magic.
You must know that now his control of zhì type magic is only an eighth-level Great Bondage Technique. And this magic, which only needs to be cast once, will drain most of his magic power. When it comes to fighting, it's all about all-or-nothing play. It's not a good deal.
And this seventh-level [Secret Earth Fire Trap], the magic power consumed was only two thousand three hundred magic codes, but the power was stronger than the Great Binding Technique. How does this surprise Roy?
However, as Steve said, mixing magic is far more difficult than ordinary single-line magic. The complex elemental array structure. Just looking at it makes your head big. And the formulas, steps, and magic control requirements are densely packed with dozens of rows.
The more Roy looked, the more he was staggered. Because of overthinking, after ten minutes, his forehead and the tip of his nose. It was already drenched in dense sweat.
"Where is mixing magic so easy to learn?" came the gloating voice of Ivy on the other side of the station, "Let's take it back and take it slowly." Don't bother me here. β
"Stinky woman!" Roy cursed in his heart, but on the surface he looked confused and continued to be confused.
Anyway, he was called over by Ivy, and even if he didn't return to the camp all night, no one dared to say anything. It's clean and comfortable, and who wants to go back to a barracks that isn't even as good as a pigsty?
Moreover...... Roy's ears moved, and he stood up.
"Miss Ivy, I'll go back first!" he greeted Ivy. I opened the door and walked out.
"What Miss, you want to call the teacher...... Huh......" By the time Ivy looked up, the door was closed.
She couldn't help but be a little stunned. From what she knew about Roy, this kid wasn't such an obedient person.
Roy went out and didn't leave. Instead, he turned the corner and hurried through the grove to the left of the hut to the river.
Dead. The noise of the barracks has long since died down. Most of the barracks. The lights have all been turned off, blending into the night. Only the streets outside the camp were still far away with bright lights and rising noises. That's where the taverns gather. Specializing in the business of rotating soldiers and officers.
Standing on the bank of the river, the murmuring of the water reflects the light of the magic moon. The bluestone and moss-covered roots were still faintly visible, but the opposite shore was just pitch black.
"Young Master!"
As a deep voice came, two figures, like ghosts, appeared beside Roy. A thin and elegant. A short, stout and sturdy one. It was after Karenic and Percy that the third and fourth Knights of Light, Auston and Algernon, joined the bandits.
This time, Karenic and Percy each have their own assignments on the outside, staying with Roy. These are the two men who lead the knights of the bandit army who join the barracks.
"Mr. Kate, how are you doing?" Roy asked, turning his head. This meeting was made in advance. That's why he's stayed here after Steve was gone.
"I've already heard, as you guessed, young master, that Mrs. Joyce, and more than a third of the city's nobles, are in collusion with Schilling," said Auston, coming out of the shade of the moonlight, with a graceful demeanor. The voice, however, was particularly cold on this summer night.
Kate Auston was a noble kid, but he was good at walking in the dark, and it was easiest for him to verify this kind of news.
In fact, no one knew that when Mrs. Joyce was talking to Schilling in the castle annex, the two-star swordsman of the Great Light was like a rock, firmly embedded in the cliff less than twenty meters away from them. Silent.
Not to mention Mrs. Joyce and her castle guards, even Schilling, who is a knight of glory, did not want to find out the slightest movement of Auston.
Roy was silent, listening to Auston's account of what he had heard from Mrs. Joyce and Schilling, and his mind raced through it.
The facts are clear. Whether it is from Steve or Alston's news, there is no doubt that Schilling colluded with the local aristocracy led by Mrs. Joyce. It's just that I didn't expect that Schilling and the Lanris family moved so fast, and they saw the opportunity and immediately sent someone over.
More than forty knights, including a Great Light Knight and several Glory Knights, such a lineup is enough to determine the victory or defeat between Schilling and his group and General Eugene.
And once the city of Muni is controlled by Schilling, it means that the besieged Grand Duke Adolf will lose the last trace of life. At the same time, the Fano on the front line, as well as the Red Leaf Knights and the Twelfth Legion, will also usher in a crushing defeat before the outbreak of the Great War.
At that point, it was impossible for Lulian to hold on. The royal family will also be dragged down by this. The war situation in Saint-Solan as a whole will deteriorate further. Tens of thousands of people will be displaced by the fighting. Countless people will fall under the butcher's knife of the Phreel.
And the only one who benefited was the Langris family who watched the fire from the other side.
The more they stirred up this fire, the more dangerous the situation of Saint-Soran became, and the greater their chances of becoming Saint-Soran. When all the noble lords have abandoned the Solan royal family, it will be time for them to take over this qiΔ.
What a good calculation!
"Master, what do you think we should do?" Algernon asked in a deep voice. The character of this one-star Great Light Axe warrior is as straight as his heavy and sharp battle axe, "Otherwise, let's call the big guys and kill them all!"
Roy shook his head.
Now the city of Muni is a whirlpool. Once Mrs. Joyce and Schilling are moved, the future situation may fall into chaos that no one can control. This is definitely not a good thing for the current Lulian and Saint-Sorain.
The only thing that is certain now and reassuring is that General Eugene was not pulled into the water. This also means that as the chief military commander of Muni City, he is the main force against Joyce and others. Before he acted, the role of the bandit army should be a hidden bystander.
However, not moving Joyce and Schilling does not mean that you are not doing anything.
Whether it is Mrs. Joyce or General Eugene, what is ultimately fighting for is the control of the current coalition forces. If you master the army, you will master the city of Munny.
The advantage of the nobles was that they accounted for a small half of the strength of the coalition army and the successor salary in their hands. Eugene's advantage is the authority and title of the military commander. It was Fano who gave him the remaining four thousand muni city guards and some of the noble lords loyal to the Grand Duke of Adolf.
Therefore, if a conflict breaks out between the two sides, the 3,000 rabble army and the 6,000 student army will be the key to this.
Roy doesn't know how Eugene will handle the conflict. But with 3,000 rabble and 6,000 cadets, he would not have watched Mrs. Joyce pull him over under any circumstances.
Moreover, according to the rescue plan discussed by himself, Karenich and Percy, at least 1,500 troops are needed to cooperate with the implementation.
His eyes rolled a few times, and Roy probably had some idea in his mind.
"Mr. Kate. β
"Obey your orders, young master. "Alston Road.
"Tell everyone, when you have nothing to do, you might as well cause more trouble......" Roy said with a smile, "Especially between the noble lords on Mrs. Joyce's side, there should be a lot of conflicts......
Auston was stunned for a moment, but then reacted. Smiled and said, "I see." β
"As for Mr. Algernon," Roy turned his head to look at Algernon, who was stocky and looked more like a blacksmith, "do you have a way to get to the back camp? I need you by my side." β
"No problem. Young Master!" said Algernon
