Surdak didn't expect that Viru would actually be promoted to a second-turn marksman at this time, and the irrepressible aura of arrogance spread from the top of the sand dunes, and several fire snakes with outstretched wings rushed into the sky, exploding into fireworks in the dim sky.

Once he steps into the ranks of the second-rank powerhouses, Viru's own strength will reach a qualitative leap.

In the Grimm Empire, as long as you are willing to endure hardships and exercise, it is not difficult to become a combat professional, especially the imperial national recruitment system makes all young people in the empire pay attention to this aspect of training, but if you want to advance to a combat position, you can't just rely on hard training.

The most important thing for ordinary fighters before they advance to a combat position is that they need to comprehend their own 'potential', and only when they comprehend the 'potential' and reach the critical point of various attributes of the body can they break through the shackles of a turn.

Of course, there is no one in ten who can complete a change of advancement.

Because of the relationship between the 'potential', the fighters who can advance can feel their spiritual consciousness, and they also have carrying capacity. Therefore, a former fighter can wear magical equipment, such as magic pattern construction, enchanted weapons, and so on. The price of the Magic Pattern Construct in the Grimm Empire is very expensive, and the price of the most basic Magic Pattern Construct is generally more than one hundred and fifty Magic Crystals, such as Surdak's 'Earth Shield' Magic Pattern Construct The price on the market is almost three hundred Magic Crystals.

The most powerful army of the Grimm Empire is known as the Constructed Knights, and they are a legion made up of knights wearing magical patterns.

If a person who changes to a combat position wants to be promoted to a second position, this road is much narrower, and basically among the nearly 1,000 combat positions, at most one or two second-turn powerhouses can be born.

Take Hylanza City as an example, the number of second-turn powerhouses is also only a handful, and many second-turn powerhouses have to be recruited by the empire to go to the big battlefield to stabilize the battle situation there, and there are even fewer second-turn powerhouses who can stay in the Grimm Empire.

Viru's promotion to become a second-turn powerhouse is also due to the accumulation of his own strength, he was able to hide in the shadows and continuously snipe snipe sand thieves, which is the way he is good at fighting, and he wanted to shoot the leader of Lowell on the battlefield, but he failed several times.

The veterans of the cavalry battalion below the sand dunes almost all saw Viru standing on the sand dunes and shooting explosive arrows, and for a while, everyone looked up at the foot of the sand dunes to look up to this new second-turn powerhouse.

The group of young reserve knights in the camp also showed a look of yearning.

In the Grimm Empire, a second-turn knight can become the prefect of almost an entire city, and they put down their work and saluted at Viru on the sand dunes.

The scene of being promoted to a second-turn powerhouse is rare to see in Hailanza City, and many warriors who pursue strength usually do not stay in the city, they either participate in dimensional wars or are recruited into the big battlefield, and only by crawling on the edge of life and death can they force themselves to continue to break through themselves.

A young reserve knight in standard armor stood next to the tent and exclaimed, "I wish that one of us would one day shine like him!" ”

The companion on the other side laughed at him: "A few days ago, I was still hiding in my sleeping bag and shivering every night in order to kill a sand thief, and I often woke up with nightmares. ”

The young reserve knight said with some humility, "Please, there is a first time for everything, okay?" ”

The companion behind the tent urged: "Hurry up and work down-to-earth, hurry up and set up the tent, and don't let the veterans of the cavalry battalion look down." ”

The young reserve knight smiled and said, "This kind of scene is rare, I still think about it...... If possible, ask what it was like to advance at that moment......"

……

Captain Gabri has been holding his head a little softly lately, standing next to a pile of supplies, directing his mercenaries to quickly set up tents.

Originally, I thought that I didn't receive any decent tasks this winter, so I followed this ragtag army improvised by Surdak, wandered around the desert casually twice, encountered some small groups of unlucky desert bandits, and killed them casually to earn some extra money, this kind of task usually does not have much oil and water. Captain Gabri was more concerned about the fact that Surdak would pay the mercenary group hardware every day, and this part of the remuneration would allow the mercenary group members to have a daily salary ranging from ten to twenty silver per day.

Although it is not high, it can maintain the market price of the mercenary group.

It's just that I didn't expect Baron Surdak to play a big vote this time, he almost flattened the desert on the edge of the barren land with a devastating force, not only striking hard at the arrogance of the desert bandits, but also leaving no room at all, and bulldozing all the oases on the edge of the desert very strongly.

The sand thieves initially miscalculated the situation, and launched several major battles in the desert, and the mercenary group beheaded nearly 500 sand bandits, and this income alone earned 2,500 gold coins from Surdak.

After the war, the members of the mercenary group also got together to analyze these victories, and what points Baron Surdak won the battle.

Commander Gabri summed it up in four points: sufficient supplies, sophisticated weapons and armor, a few powerful men who could turn the tide of the battle, and possessed a holy light technique that was powerful enough to heal everything.

Captain Gabri had been speculating about how much magic the Purse had in Baron Surdak's hands to be able to wander around the desert without a logistical supply team at all, without worrying about the dilemma of insufficient supplies.

Not to mention the weapons and armor as much as possible, almost a complete set of the standard heavy armor of the knights of the guard battalion was stripped off and put on his cavalry battalion soldiers.

The most convincing thing for Gabri was the followers of Baron Surdak, not to mention Andrew, who was like a madman on the battlefield, whether it was the ogre Gullitum or his mysterious lady, every time he saw it, it made him feel a lot of pressure in his heart.

Now he suddenly discovered that he had always been accustomed to hiding himself in the corner, and the silent Eagle Eye had actually been promoted to the second turn at this time.

Originally, Gabbey was still worried that such a high-profile mercenary group clearing sand thieves in the desert would attract the attention of those big sand pirates in the center of the desert.

I didn't expect that the other party hadn't taken any action, and the combat effectiveness here had been greatly improved again.

I saw the sand dunes burst out one after another, and a fiery snake shot straight into the sky, as if it was about to blow up the clouds in the night sky......

Gabry. Captain Gerry took another deep breath, feeling that if this Hawkeye was promoted to a second-rank powerhouse before he came, Baron Surdak might not hire the Sea Giant Mercenary Regiment.

……

Gulit sat in front of the big iron pot and watched the women busily cooking, which was the happiest time of his day.

Pieces of juicy horse meat were thrown into the soup pot, although it was still a little hard frozen, but it didn't matter to him, anyway, he wasn't afraid to eat raw.

After a few days of adaptation, and after Selena's tireless mentoring, the women who had returned from captivity in the desert oasis had finally found their place in the ranks, and they began to behave positively, with the first goal of at least making themselves look less useless.

What they didn't know, of course, was that Surdak demanded less from them, and as long as they didn't use despicable means to attract the enemies in the desert and not drag down the whole team, then he didn't mind them continuing to live.

Now they are very active in taking the matter of cooking.

In just a few days, the ogre Gulitum became a staunch supporter of this group of female captives, and he rarely went to the horse pen to see the camels, where there was so much horse meat, he preferred to eat meat and drink soup in large gulps.

Gulit had also suffered some injuries during the last battle, but after this period of indiscriminate Hesse, Gullitham's injuries had almost completely healed.

Gulit didn't even glance up at the fiery serpent on top of the dune.

Andrew carried half a sack of multigrain cakes at the ogre's feet, looked up at the fireworks that exploded above the dunes, and was speechless for a long time.

Seeing the surprise on Andrew's face, Gulitham said angrily, "I knew it would be like this, the power in his body has been suppressed for a long time. ”

Andrew looked at Gullitham and asked, "Gullitham, can you see the power contained in his body?" ”

The ogre nodded honestly and added, "It's an intuition. ”

"Then you see if I have such power in my body?" Andrew stood in front of Gulitham's eyes, took a deep breath, and pleaded earnestly.

Gulit looked at it seriously a few times before he said, "Yes, it's just that it's not full yet, and we have it too, but I can't understand it a little......"

"Do you have any?" Andrew asked curiously.

Gulit smiled and replied in a humble voice, "We ogres don't need to advance, just eat more and keep making ourselves stronger." ”

"Okay!"

Andrew put the grain bag down and turned away with a depressed face.

He couldn't envy the ogre's innate talent for fighting.

……

In the days since Viru was promoted to the second turn, he has been repeatedly testing the strength he possesses.

His Eagle Eye has nearly doubled his vision, allowing him to see everything within a twenty-kilometer radius in the open area.

Viru's activity during this period of time also made those who wanted to sneak over the bandit group suffer enough, after he found out that the bandit group, he would usually meet it single-handedly, and none of these sand thieves at the edge of the desert could resist the anger of a second-turn powerhouse.

The Sand Pirates don't even think about looking for Viru even if they're dead, because they can feel it...... The best way for them to get away from the 'viper' that followed them was to get away with their excellent horsemanship, as far away from him as possible.

Surdak's expedition lasted nearly forty-three days, and he wiped all the desert oases near the edge of the Badlands from the map.

Looking at the map spread on the wooden table, the desert area was already full of lines, and Surdak could be regarded as gradually exploring the terrain of the area around the barren land.

In the tent there were Captain Gabri of the Sea Giant Mercenary Regiment, Andrew, Selena, Viru and several others, Surdak was squatting next to the wooden table, using a quill pen to plot some information on the map, Andrew came to Surdak's side, looked at the map and asked, "Head, which oasis are we going to destroy this time?" ”

Surdak put down the quill in his hand and drew a straight line on the map leading to the entrance to the barren land, and then said: "I don't plan to go any further, the battle plan made this time has been realized, and we will return to Vol Village tomorrow morning." ”

Captain Gabby finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, these days have been spent in the desert, and the harsh climate environment has made everyone miserable.

"It's over so soon, time flies so fast!" Head Gabri said.

Andrew also said with deep feelings: "Finally, I don't have to gnaw sand here anymore, I hope these sand thieves can become smarter this time, and don't always provoke us to come and clean them down." ”

However, he said with regret: "The veterans of these cavalry battalions can barely fight on horseback, and if they go through a few more battles, maybe they will become more perfect." ”

"As long as it's a bit of a cavalryman." Surdak didn't have too strict requirements for his own private soldiers, and even more so for the reserve knights of the guard battalion: "Those young knights in the reserve also have the appearance of knights, and they have also suffered a lot during this time, and it seems that it will still be of great help to them, go back, I can't wait to show you what we have gained this time." ”

Viru looked at the map and felt that the buffer zone on the edge of the desert was still a little narrower.

Fearing that the sand thieves would retaliate against the villagers in the Wastelands, he frowned and said, "Actually, we can still walk inside." ”

Surdak shook his head and said, "It's too late, we have to return to the village of Wall before spring comes." ”

Later, he said, "This time we were able to successfully eliminate these sand pirates, not only thanks to the mercenaries of the sea giants, but also to the help of Viru......

The next day, Surdak led his party on the way home.

……

Surdak crossed the Void Gate and came to the Brimstone Mine camp in Pupu Mountain, which was filled with all kinds of war materials, including forage, food, weapons, weapons, saddle covers, broken tents, leather, etc.

This time, seventeen desert oases were sacked, of which seven were too late for the sand thieves to evacuate with supplies, and Surdak basically ransacked all of them.

Aphrodite was lying on a flat volcanic slab, holding a thick magic book and looking at it carefully, ignoring Surdak who came out of the Void Gate.
