743. Magic Pattern
The third day of Viru's departure from the town of Dodan.
The operation of hunting monsters in the town of Dodan was forced to be interrupted as a large number of monsters poured into the valley.
In the past few days, more demonic beasts that have fallen into madness have rushed into the Duodan Canyon, and many of the demonic beasts gathered under the north city wall are rare species in the depths of the forest, and there are more than 200 city guards armed with crossbows at the head of the city, mercilessly shooting those demonic beasts who want to climb the forty-meter-high city wall.
Thirty-five bed crossbows were used to kill the large-sized second-level demonic beasts in the group of demonic beasts below the city wall.
A large number of demonic beasts were crowded under the city walls.
The gate of the north city wall is surrounded by a group of moon-bladed fire wolves, there are constantly fireballs exploding at the entrance of the city gate, some fireballs are attached to the city wall and burning, billowing smoke fills the city gate hole, and the north end of the city gate hole extends more than ten meters inside and burns with fire.
All the ropes of the iron fence of the city gate cave had been burned off, and the iron fence, which weighed several thousand pounds, was stuck in the city gate hole, and the flames were burning around it.
Completely block the only passage of the city wall to the North Canyon.
The garrison in the town of Dodan could not go out of the city to fight.
The defenders of the city could only retreat to the head of the city.
Almost half of the demonic beasts that were shot at the head of the city were ruthlessly torn to pieces as the hordes stormed the city walls.
The infantry stood at the head of the city, holding some anchor hooks and constantly throwing them at the beast herd, but these infantry could only throw dozens of meters away, and it was difficult for the demonic beasts to anchor any farther away, so they could only watch the blood food of the demonic beast herd.
The situation in the town of Dodan is becoming more and more difficult, and Surdak finally sees the scene of a large number of demonic beasts gathering under the city.
There are constantly corpses of demonic beasts that are pulled up to the city head by anchor hooks, and the corpses of some low-level demonic beasts are piled up in the city, and they will be transported to the barracks by the auxiliaries of the city.
Seeing that the monsters could not climb over the northern city wall, some of the monsters tried to rush up the Thorn Mountain, but they could not pass through the halfway up the mountain full of stone thorns, some of the monsters were stuck in the gaps of the stone thorns, and some of the monsters accidentally fell from the cliff, and the screams echoed in the valley.
……
Surdak found that the merchants and nobles in the town had their eyes set on the rewards of the merit exchange list, and immediately ordered the logistics department of the garrison camp to prohibit the outflow of these materials.
The high-grade leather armor and magic weapons in the barracks didn't flow outside.
There are already fighters at the level of squadron leader who have the blade of ice rhino horn in their hands, and they are particularly eye-catching when they stand in the ranks.
Maybe in such a demonic beast siege, it will not be noticed by the demonic beasts, or there is still the breath of the ice horned rhinoceros on it, and some weak demonic beasts are reluctant to approach.
But in the future, when fighting against other legions, these warriors with ice horn blades in their hands will definitely be the focus of archers.
The thousand reinforcements brought by the deputy commander of Chester finally caught up with the last bite of soup, although they did not accumulate too many merits personally, but after all, there were many people, everyone put together a piecemeal, and still exchanged two sets of ice horn rhino leather leather armor on the merit exchange list.
Due to the Surda Restraint system, every 100 merit points can be exchanged for one gold coin, resulting in almost unhindered circulation of merit points in the barracks.
Surdak was listed on the merit exchange list, and those high-grade leather armor and healing potions that could be used as the base material for the magic pattern construction were sold out as soon as possible.
However, although those magic weapons are also wanted, they are not so enthusiastic, after all, such weapons can be found everywhere in the magic weapons dealers in Bena City.
In the herd of beasts under the northern city walls, there are already traces of the thorn-tailed crystal lion and the two-headed snake lizard, these two magical beasts are at the peak of their second-level strength, and their leather is also quite sought after in the magic market.
The castle guards even expected them to storm the northern wall like the other monsters.
Surdak asked the four captains of the barracks to take turns guarding the walls.
The four captains in the barracks were Captain Andrew, who led the cavalry battalion from the barrens, Captain Samira, who led the reinforcements of 200 archers and the city guards, Captain Adams, who led the cavalry reinforcements, and Captain Gallatin, who led the reinforcements of the heavy infantry regiment.
Among these captains, Andrew, an indigenous warrior of the Nanai tribe, has the highest prestige.
Everyone in the barracks knew that Andrew was Commander Surdak's most powerful confidant.
Andrew stepped on one foot in the gap between the battlements of the wall and looked underneath the wall.
There are still a large number of demonic beasts gathered under the city, and from time to time, ice arrows and wind blades will fly up to the city, hit the wall battlements, and explode into ice powder in the sky.
The city guards had just fired a round of crossbow arrows to kill most of the dragons who were about to climb the walls, and the infantry hiding behind the city guards, hiding from the magic that could fly over at any moment, quickly threw out their anchor hooks, trying to grab as many of the lizards as possible before the corpses were overwhelmed by the beasts rushing up from behind.
A wind blade flew past Andrew's face, and he seemed to have calculated the spiral flight trajectory of the wind blade, and he didn't even bother to tilt his head to dodge.
Taking advantage of the interval when the demonic beast stopped at this moment, Andrew and a cavalry squadron leader next to him sat down against the battlements of the city wall, and a siege battle of this scale would form a wave every few moments.
The city defenders should also rest appropriately with the rhythm of the monsters' siege.
The squadron leader took out a piece of sauce meat from his arms and handed it to Andrew, took out a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowed it in three bites, wiped his mouth and drank two sips of water.
Andrew took the sauce meat, and when he saw that it was a piece of hard and somewhat sour fire wolf meat, he grinned and took a hard bite.
complained to the squadron leader next to him: "You won't pick a better one...... Eat this sour fire wolf meat all day long! ”
"Hey! I didn't expect to follow Master Surdak here, and I would vomit when I ate meat. The squadron leader, who was dressed in a heavy and heavily covered heavy armor, said with great emotion: "When we were starving in the barren land, we longed to dig up the grass roots in the soil and boil water to drink......
Andrew patted the squadron leader on the shoulder and said, "I heard from the leader that the townhouse is being built on the side of Wallvillage now, and it is estimated that your family has been placed in the townhouse, don't worry, our first batch of animal skins has been shipped back to Bena Province, and it won't be long before these skins will be exchanged for gold coins and sent to Highlandsa City, with our continuous material support here, no one in the family will go hungry again." ”
The squadron leader lifted the mask from his helmet, and suddenly felt that his breathing was much easier, he looked up at the blue sky, and asked Andrew:
"Captain Andrew, you have been following the Commander for so long, and you have accumulated so many merits, even if it doesn't reach 30,000, it should be too much! You didn't even think about exchanging the Magic Pattern for the top merit list? ”
Andrew smiled and said:
"Me? The boss said that these magic patterns are not for me! ”
Hearing Andrew say this, the squadron leader's eyes lit up, and he immediately leaned over and asked:
"You know what this thing is?"
Andrew made a natural look and said:
"Of course, isn't it written that it's a magic pattern?"
The squadron leader complained to Andrew with a bitter face, "We just don't know what the magic pattern is...... And it takes so much merit. ”
Andrew looked down at the demonic pattern armor on his body, if he took off the armor at the head of the city, Surdak knew that he would definitely be scolded, so he could only take off his helmet, tilt his neck, pull the breastplate as low as possible, and show a little bit of the magic pattern on his chest and said:
"It's probably such a magic pattern, as far as I know, one of the magic patterns on the merit list belongs to enhancing one's own recovery power, the other one belongs to the ice attribute magic power increase, and there is also an enhancement of explosive power, in short, they are all good things that can not be found, and these magic patterns are limited to a turn of warriors, so your carrying capacity should be enough."
The squadron leader finally realized what those magic patterns were, and hurriedly asked:
"Captain Andrew, do you think those magic patterns are right for me?"
Andrew nodded, patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "Of course, but you still have to have enough merit to do it." ”
Thinking that it was stated on the merit list that 30,000 merits were required to exchange for a magic pattern, the squadron leader who came out of the barren land took a hard breath and said, "Now 30,000 merits are equivalent to 300 gold coins, captain, how much do you say that magic pattern is worth?" ”
"Value." Andrew said without hesitation.
……
Adams was born into a noble family in the city of Bena, and his father was a third-class viscount, although he did not do much in his life, he ran a blacksmith workshop in the city of Bena, so that his family could live a decent life in the city.
Adams' great-grandfather was a noble lord who owned the territory of five mountains in Collin, but the family moved to Bednar City after the decline of the Middle Road.
Like other young nobles, after four years of study at the Junior War Academy, Adams chose to continue his studies at the Penta Advanced Knight Academy, graduating with honors from the Knight Academy, and joining the Luthor Regiment along the way, becoming a squadron leader of a light cavalry of the Luthor Legion.
In the past few years, he has been moving around with the Legion, and he has already emerged among the young generals of the Luther Legion.
If he hadn't been good enough, the deputy commander of Chester wouldn't have introduced him to Surdak.
Adams had the most typical Bednar build, sitting in a camp cabin with a set of icehorn rhinoceros leather armor on a wooden table in front of him.
This set of ice horn rhino leather armor was exchanged by him for 2,000 merit, deducting the 300 merit points he had worked hard to accumulate, and the rest of the merit was bought back by him from his cavalry with gold coins, and the cavalry names also knew that their merits might not be exchanged for the materials on the list.
Since Captain Adams wanted to pay out of his own pocket and buy the merits in their hands with gold coins, almost no one would refuse.
So a set of Ice Horn Rhino Leather Armor, which could be used as a base material for the Magic Pattern Formation, actually cost only seventeen gold coins to get it.
Adams was a little glad that he had agreed to come to Dodan Town, Chester's deputy commander, his hands kept rubbing the noble badge on his chest, squinting, the gaze in his pale blue eyes was restrained, and every time he thought seriously, he was used to touching the badge on his chest with his hand.
Gallatin was an old friend of Adams for many years, and the two were born and died together on the battlefield, and their relationship was extraordinary.
He sat opposite Adams and looked at this set of leather armor with some envy, although this kind of leather armor is not difficult to buy in the magic market, but this kind of low-cost high-grade leather armor is absolutely non-existent, and the real value of such a set of high-grade leather armor is at least more than fifty gold coins.
"Have you ever found out what the magic pattern marked on the merit exchange list is?" Adams came back from his thoughts and asked his friend Gallatin.
Gallatin leaned back comfortably in his chair and said to Adams, "I heard that it is a magic pattern, well, it is said that this magic pattern can be imprinted on the body of a warrior, just like the magic pattern structure drawn on the body by the inscriptionist. ”
"Isn't that kind of magic pattern structure drawn on the body only appear on the second-turn powerhouse?" Adams sat up straight and asked Gallatin with a stunned expression.
Gallatin spread his hands inexplicably and said:
"That's why this magic pattern is a little different......"
Adams lowered his head and touched the money bag on his waist, there were still more than twenty magic crystals and dozens of gold coins in it, and after careful calculation, he still had some things he had with him to sell, and he should be able to make up three hundred gold coins.
He looked up at his friend Gallatin and asked casually:
"Gallatin, do you have any ideas to take down a magic pattern?"
Without hesitation, Gallatin shook his head and said:
"If all those exploits are converted into gold coins, it will cost three hundred gold coins, and I am not as rich as your pocket."
Adams wiped the badge on his chest with his hand and said only:
"Usually let you pay attention to your expenses, don't throw all that money on a woman's belly, you don't want to listen, do you regret it now?"
Gallatin showed no remorse, rolled his eyes and said, "What's the use of regretting? Let's build up slowly. ”
