The Bavarian Praetorian Guard finally retreated completely, leaving behind only the crumbling walls and the corpses that littered the ground. Among these fallen enemies were the Bavarian city guards, the border guards who withdrew from the Monria mountains, and the Bavarian Janissaries, which attacked last.

In order to prevent the enemy from capturing Probez, the Tarak Frontier Regiment also paid half of the enemy's casualties, and Naxi's squad was left with only about 20 people alive. After several high-intensity sieges, the entire 2nd Tarak Frontier Regiment has survived in name only, and only one-tenth of the 2,000-strong team has survived.

In addition to the Maple Leaf Knights, there were also newly formed infantry who came to the aid of Probez. Because the siege seemed to be hasty, Prince Harold brought only two battalions of infantry to assist in the defense. Although there were less than a thousand infantry, this was enough for Probez, because the Maple Leaf Knights already had more than a thousand cavalry.

In the final fierce battle, Orlov, who was already wounded, was even more seriously injured, several sword wounds in the ribs had already hurt the bones, and his left palm was directly abolished. If it weren't for the timely arrival of those knights, I'm afraid Orloff would have been in a different place now.

At this moment, Naxi has come to Orlov's side, and as a subordinate, he is now very worried about the safety of this boss. When he realized that Orlov's life was no longer in danger, he let go of his suspense. But after a few simple conversations, Naxi found that the veteran in front of him had become a little confused, and the constant moans of pain and the muttering of the god of war Arman made people a little worried.

Thinking that Ollov's injury might affect the command of the 2nd Talak Frontier Regiment, Naxi couldn't help but be a little worried. Their commander is still lying in bed because of the arrow wound, and the temporary commander has become like this, I really don't know how.

Naxi, who looked tired, sat on the rubble, and after watching Orlov in his hands being carried away, he covered his face with his hands and wanted to squint for a while. It was at this time that Prince Harold, who had been patrolling the defensive line, came to his side.

"You're a magician?" Harold noticed the star mistake in Naxi's arms.

"Yes. I'm a mage, what's the matter?" He forgot that he had to stand up and salute Prince Harold, who had come to make his rounds, because of his little experience. The knight who followed the prince saw Naxi's unreasonable behavior of squatting on the ground, and was ready to rush up to teach the guy in front of him who did not understand etiquette. The young knight's impulse was stopped by Prince Harold.

"Since you are a mage, then you must be the core Naxi of the mage team of the Second Tarak Frontier Regiment. Along the way, Harold couldn't help but be interested in the magicians who had turned the tide several times in the mouths of the soldiers, "Thanks to your superb magic skills, Probez was not snatched back by the Bavarians, and this outstanding performance is enough to win the highest honor in Bohemia." ”

When he saw that the knight uncle who led the charge was also behind him in front of this young man, Naxi realized that the person in front of him was extraordinary. He stood up with his hands on his hands. I made up for the salute I had just forgotten.

"That's right, pay attention to proper etiquette in front of His Royal Highness the Prince!" the knight on the side reminded.

"Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness Prince Harold?" there was only one prince in Bohemia, and Naxi did not expect him to come to Probez. It is rumored that Prince Harold has been staying in Batternia for further studies because of the conflict with his father, but he did not expect him to return and appear on the Probez front.

"Don't be so inhibited, I'm also an ordinary knight. Harold patted Naxi on the shoulder and said, "You can take the people of the Second Frontier Regiment down to rest." For the next three days, the defense of Probez will be under the responsibility of the Maple Leaf Knights. If you have time tomorrow. Please come and see me. If you don't know where I am, you can just ask a knight and you'll find out. ”

After saying that, Prince Harold went to inspect other places with the backbone of the other knights, and Naxi had to drag his tired body to the extreme, and slowly walked back to his place.

"Oh. You're in good spirits, Naxi. Harold was a little surprised that Naxi had returned to his original appearance. It's a bit strange that a mage who has been fighting all day can become refreshed after a good night's sleep.

At Harold's beckoning, Naxi sat down with some trepidation. He didn't know what His Royal Highness had to look for him...... Looking at the surrounding display of documents and maps, Naxi realized that Prince Harold was much more professional than the Legion Commander. At least there were some things he hadn't seen in Ronio's residence.

"After I heard more about you last night, I found out that the reason why your Second Frontier Regiment has been able to hold out for so long in the isolated city of Probez. In addition to your valor, you also benefit from your magic. Prince Harold said with a smile as he pushed a small box in front of Naxi, "In recognition of your bravery and wisdom, I now award you the Patriot Medal." Originally, this thing was supposed to be presented at the conference, but at the moment, it is very busy, so the award ceremony will be postponed to the next conference. You can accept this medal now. ”

The Patriot Medal is the highest honor of the Knights of the Maple Leaf, and usually only those who are old and retired have the opportunity to receive it, but this time Prince Harold actually awarded him to a magician. Naxi, who had heard a little about this medal, became a little excited, and something called honor was sprouting: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, Prince." ”

No matter what, his performance has been recognized, and it would be a little exciting to be anyone, not to mention that Naxi is a magician.

"I came to you today mainly to tell you something about your Tarak Second Frontier Regiment. Prince Harold's expression became a little solemn, "The current situation of your border guard regiment is not optimistic, Ronio can't get out of bed because of the arrow wound, and Orlov, who is temporarily in command, has also lost the ability to command because of his injury." Your border guards have made great sacrifices for the principality. ”

Just when Naxi didn't know what to say, Harold turned to the future of the border regiment: "I have also had a general understanding of the current situation of your regiment, excluding the wounded, you now only have more than 500 people. Under these circumstances, it is simply not possible to maintain a normal establishment. Therefore, I would like to intend to add the two battalions I have brought with me to the Tarak Frontier Regiment. ”

According to common sense, the 2nd Tarak Frontier Regiment suffered such heavy casualties that it should have been abolished and then dispersed into two battalions of infantry. However, Harold felt that he could hold out until reinforcements arrived, and there was no need to remove troops with such a brilliant record. So he spent some time convincing the commanders of the other two battalions to replenish their resources to the 2nd Tarak Frontier Regiment.

Needless to say, Naxi had already felt the prince's kindness: "Great, Your Royal Highness, as long as the border regiment can have fresh blood, I believe it will definitely perform better in the subsequent battles." ”

Harold carefully observed the person in front of him, and he asked tentatively: "The issue of rebuilding the 2nd Tarak Frontier Regiment has been resolved, but the new commander of the regiment has not yet been decided. Since there are still many commanders in your border regiment with the rank of battalion commander, I would like to ask who among them is suitable to be the new commander. ”

"Well...... Harold's question stumped Naxi. You must know that except for Orlov, he does not agree with the battalion commander of any other regiment, and for a while he does not know how to answer Harold's question.

"Well, if I asked you to be the commander of the Second Frontier Regiment, would you be interested?" Harold finally threw out the sentence he wanted to say the most. From the soldiers of the border regiment, he learned that Naxi was a reliable person. Although this is more or less shocking for a newcomer who has only been in the army for less than half a year. But no one had ever experienced war, and even the veterans of the two battalions he brought with him might not be as experienced as Naxi.

After thinking for a while, Naxi said slowly: "Prince Harold, I'm afraid I can't do this job now. ”

Harold's answer surprised Harold: "Oh, why?" It was the first time he had met someone who would refuse such a temptation.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Naxi planned to say one of the ideas he had mentioned to Roneo earlier: "Your Royal Highness, if you can, please authorize me to form a force of magicians. It's a waste of our mages to break up and even ignore their professions. ”

After hearing about the deeds of the Naxi magic team that shined in battle, Harold thought about it and agreed to Naxi's request.

"Alright then, you can go to Zhang Luo yourself about forming a mage army. If you encounter any difficulties, you can always come to me. (To be continued......)
