Chapter 57: Kakulos

Although no country or organization has been willing to help the Duchy of Bohemia these days, there are still many volunteers who are not afraid of the notoriety of the undead and come to Probetz one after another, ready to meet the impending undead.

Most of these volunteers are experienced mercenaries, and their long careers have allowed them to develop a level of professionalism that is no less than that of the regular army, and in some respects even better than the knights of the Maple Leaf Order. This unexpected aid was very comforting to the defenders of Bohemia, such as Harold and Naxi.

Although there are not many reinforcements, it is better than nothing.

To Harold's relief, these mercenaries who love money by nature did not ask him for any commission, claiming that it was their duty to deal with the undead.

Of course, these words have little credibility, and Harold made a special trip to ask who hired them. Not only did these mercenaries not say the name of their employer, but they even bluntly said that in order to answer the call, they gave up the task they were carrying out and rushed all the way to participate in this decisive battle between humans and the undead.

And the call to action from these mercenaries was made by the famous mercenary master Kakulos. In the mercenary world, Kakulos, who has a high prestige, brought all members of his small team over, and at the same time, he also used his prestige to call on more mercenaries to participate in this war.

The volunteers who have responded to the call to Probetz are all led by Kakulos. Because of his relationship with Kakulos, Harold was more comfortable letting the legendary mercenary lead volunteers to assist in the defense. He did not want to integrate these additional personnel into the Patriotic Army, fearing that this would affect the pure blood of the troops.

"I was going to see how the training of the Magisters is going, is there anything wrong with Captain Kakulos looking for me?" Naxi was a little surprised that he was suddenly stopped. Although there had been a few brief conversations with the burly mercenary at the combat meeting, it was the first time that they had met like today.

"I also just finished training those bunnies, and I happened to meet you and came over to say hello. Kakulos smiled and patted his snow-stained shoulder pad with his left hand.

"Let's go. Come to the camp of the Magius to guide us, Captain Kakulos's rich experience as a mercenary will definitely make us improve even more. Naxi had heard that Kakulos was a good talker, so he planned to invite him to watch the training of the Wizards.

Naxi wasn't worried that his formation magic would be spied through. In his opinion, a mercenary like Kakulos could understand the mysteries of array magic, so more than half of Yefaran's magicians could kill themselves by swallowing their staffs.

The reason why Kakulos was temporarily invited to visit was more out of consideration for future battles. Formation magic relies heavily on the coordinated cover of allies. And Naxi himself had to act with the Maple Leaf Knights, and he couldn't do it all over the operation of the array magic. Kakulos is a well-known mercenary commander in Carantoc, and if he were to command the coordination, the Wizards would play an even greater role.

The howling cold wind was as cold as ever, and the people around couldn't help but shiver. Ignoring the ravages of winter, Nacy and Kakulos walked through the makeshift path to the training grounds of the Wizards.

After seeing Naxi's arrival, all the magicians stopped what they were doing and greeted the boss who had crawled out of the mountain of corpses and blood.

"Good morning, Commander. ”

"Captain Naxi. Good morning. ”

In the face of this compliment, Naxi is still a little unaccustomed, because he was still a member of the lowest level of the border guards more than half a year ago. If it weren't for Prince Harold's strong recommendation, which gave him the opportunity to become the leader of the Wizarding Order, he would probably still be an ordinary magician in all the Patriotic Army.

"Let me introduce this is the commander of the Volunteer Regiment, Commander Kakulos. Naxi turned to introduce Kakulos behind him, "Prince Harold had already given us the task of the Wizard Regiment earlier. In addition to covering the operations of the Maple Leaf Knights and the Mobile Battalion, we also have to cooperate with other troops. Hold Probetz. ”

Looking at the eyes of more than a hundred magicians present, Kakulos smiled, "It's the first time I've seen so many magicians gathered together. I have a little doubt that the place where I am standing now is not Probetz, but Yefaran. ”

This good-natured joke made the magicians present nervous, and some of them smiled knowingly.

"Then let me open my eyes to see what the power of the magic unleashed by so many mages together will be. Kakulos said expectantly.

As a well-informed mercenary, he knew many magicians, and he had seen them display dazzling magic. But a group of magic created by a group of mediocre third-rate mages working together to cast spells. It was the first time he had met him, and he couldn't help but have some expectations in his heart.

"Then use the simplest Flame Falling Technique. ”

After full consideration, Naxi felt that this formation magic should be the fastest formation magic that these magicians in front of him could master. The cap cast range is two standard distances, and the radius of the kill radius is two units, if there are no surprises. It can be released once in about half an hour. The elemental energy invoked by this array magic is relatively low, and it is not easy to appear demonic surges. In this way, the wizards can maintain a steady output of mana and support the actions of their allies more efficiently.

At Naxi's signal, the magicians who had been training stood in their corresponding positions. After harmonizing the rhythm of breathing, the slowly flowing magic energy poured into the ground beneath his feet, and a fiery red magic array slowly appeared. Affected by the rhythm of the output of mana, the silent fire elemental began to boil, and the displacement between magic and elements was increased by array magic. The mage standing in the center of the magic circle controls the surging fire elementals, constantly squeezing and guiding them, and finally channeling them out of the elemental interface.

At the same time, a fiery red magic array similar to the mage's feet appeared in mid-air, and the flames that roared out of the magic array fell directly into the target range. The incessant bombardment of flames made a loud rumbling sound, which lasted for about ten seconds before the fiery magic array slowly disappeared.

It was an eye-opener to see Kakulos who could unleash magic like this for the first time. He didn't expect that a group of third-rate mages would be able to cast a long-range strike magic that was no less lethal than the six-ring fire magic through cooperation.

Magicians have always given the impression of being a loner, and these arrogant geniuses absolutely disdain to work with people. Kakulos suddenly thanked the heavens for giving the magician a stubborn and arrogant personality, otherwise once they united, Carantok really had no power to bring them to their knees.

"Very good performance!" Kakulos exclaimed, "Can you guarantee that you can play like this in battle?"

"That's no problem at all, Mr. Kakulos. Naxi said very confidently, "I've only let them practice this fire technique for about three days, and they haven't fully mastered it yet. If you are skilled, the flames just now can continue to bombard the target for about fifteen seconds. ”

"Can you move the area of a spell?" Kakulos felt that it would be a waste of time for such a powerful spell to bombard one place for fifteen seconds. If you can change the area of effect of a spell during casting, it will deal more damage to enemies.

"I'm sorry, Captain Kakulos. Naxi was a little embarrassed, "Theoretically, it can be done like that, but in less than five seconds, all of us will be crippled, and we will all have to be insulated from magic in the future." ”

Moving around the area of the Falling Fire not only consumes a lot of mana, but the unstable elemental power is likely to hurt everyone who is maintaining the magic array. If you accidentally cause a swell, the unleashed magic and elemental power will even destroy all mages...... Naxi didn't want to take such a risk and depose all of his few mages where the war began.

"That's a shame. Kakulos was a little disappointed, "If your people can move the spells being released, then I'll make some tactical adjustments." With good coordination, we could have annihilated even more of the undead at a fraction of the cost. ”

That being said, Naxi also had his own considerations, and he couldn't have risked his subordinates' lives to make such a sacrifice. Not to mention, the level of motivation of the battle situation may be far greater than the previous battles, and Naxi hopes that in the most desperate moments, the mage will also maintain enough combat effectiveness.

After a brief conversation with Naxi, the experienced Kakulos made some adjustments to several of the tactical arrangements that Naxi had proposed. This communication between the different legions was helpful in the war, and in a way the Naxi was tantamount to ceding the command of the Wizard Regiment to Kakulos.

This move to decentralize power was built on Prince Harold's trust in Kakulos.

Although Nashi did not understand why Prince Harold had expressed absolute trust in Kakulos after talking to the mercenary in front of him all night.

As a qualified subordinate, he had to believe that Prince Harold was doing everything right. (To be continued......)
