The battle officially ended with the death of two mages. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Hunting down a defeated enemy who has been killed is far from actually saving his brother, and the workload of dealing with the aftermath is more onerous than the war itself.

With the exception of some vigilance, most of the Crusaders removed their armor and joined the rescue efforts at Vikburg. After the wooden houses were completely burned, it was difficult to effectively extinguish them with water and sand, so Li Yun ordered to abandon large areas of burning houses, demolish those that were not burned or only a small part of them, and create a barrier to prevent the fire from spreading.

It continued until dawn, and only a third of the houses and part of the property of Vicburg were salvaged, and the rest were burned to ashes in the still raging fire.

By this time the Crusader caravan had all arrived, set up makeshift camps, buried pots and cooked food, and most of the warriors, who had been tired all night, fell asleep after eating delicious potato stews and scones. The people continue to carry out inspections under strict supervision, and only those who pass the inspections will be fed.

As Li Yun expected, some people were planted with corrupt evil buds. This evil seed has an incubation period of three days, and after the attack, it can make people lose their minds and become murderous, and if they scratch their flesh or bite it, they will be infected with the deadly mad corpse virus, and they will die in no more than three hours. And the body that died due to madness is an important material for resurrecting and refining evil corpses.

There is not a single case of corpse explosion spores planted, so it can be inferred that these refugees ran to the Crusaders to seek refuge in the first place, and it was not as complicated as Li Yun imagined that 'the enemy wanted to take the opportunity to create chaos and deliberately drove them over'

"Master, when did you know that a mage used illusion to turn himself into a moon and float in the air?"

"Two hours after the procession departed, there was a time when a small cloud slipped in front of the moon. ”

"Why don't you notify the others?"

"Why do you want to inform the moon or expose the fact that we know he exists?"

"So when you ordered Alina to return to the back team, she didn't leave at all, but lurked?"

"I walked openly, and then sneaked back quietly. ”

"What is the way she can lurk in the shadows of the weapon without being detected?"

"Is it necessary to know how?"

"Are the two mages who were killed the heads of the enemy?"

"There is only one thing, that fire method is not the person I am looking for......" During the Q&A, Li Yun and Jessica came to the temporary command post - a large ownerless house in the southeast of Vicburg near the city wall.

"Master, master!" Seeing Li Yun and Jessica enter the door, several team officers who were already present stood up and saluted.

Waving his hand, Li Yun sat at the bottom of the table, opposite Lana, and on both sides were the team officers. "To make a long story short, this time we are not summing up the battle, but assigning some tasks. 1. We won't leave for three days, and when the fire is extinguished, there are still people waiting for us to save in some cellars of Vikburg, and the crusaders also need to cultivate. 2. I will assign you a task to summarize the advantages and disadvantages of this battle, and the officers and soldiers below will also participate, and I will write a report and write a good additional reward. 3. Restrain the soldiers under me, I don't want to see the crusaders have too many entanglements with the people of Vikburg, gratitude is not enough, and enmity is not good. Administrative, explained by Miss Lana. ”

"The officers have not rested until now, and I will say a few words just as well. Lana looked at everyone and said calmly: "In this battle, we lost 246 fighters, mainly from the three teams of foot combat, light attack and assault. Among them, newcomers account for 60% of 5. According to the previous method, the losses of combat power will increase from the second-line soldiers. Please make your own selection.

The more than 70 seriously wounded in the battle will take 1 month to recover (on the premise of simple recovery magic, mainly severed limbs or multiple serious wounds, which require continuous treatment every day), they will set off with the troops, and they will be under the care of the medical team.

Officer Bender, you are responsible for gathering manpower to build twenty-four ventilated vans to carry these wounded and sick. The wheels and axles were made of local materials or directly modified by vacated pack wagons, and the task was to be completed within three days.

Officer Inak, post a notice for the people, you lead the archers to take charge of the security of the people of Vikburg these days, and at the same time count the needs of the people, and ask about their plans and wishes. At the same time, the Crusaders' supplies were not given for free, the people had to participate in the work they could, the men were responsible for cleaning and searching, the women were sewing tents and other items, and the Crusaders were sewing and making their clothes, and our wounded and many soldiers with torn clothes needed their help.

Commander Solanda, you lead your team and the second-line soldiers to help the people carry out search and rescue work and the second detailed battlefield clean-up work, starting in the afternoon.

Officer Albert, the Crusaders need to recruit soldiers again to make up for the needs of the second line and transportation, the number is 5-8 hundred, and they are recruited from among the people of Vikburg, but they are not forced to complete the task as much as possible.

Officer Wagnan, after the wear and tear of the battle, we need to repair and manufacture weapons again. And this time, the ammunition used by the stone truck consumes a huge amount, and it is necessary to focus on this aspect. In addition, some blacksmiths from Vicburg were organized to simply dispose of the captured enemy weapons and give them their use, and the people needed their own armament.

Officer Helym, we have captured thirty fire monsters, fourteen salamanders, ten minotaurs, eleven bear goblins, and more than fifty goblins, and the fire monsters and salamanders will help the sappers open furnaces and smelt iron, and other underground creatures will also be assigned to work everywhere, and temporary jailers will be called in from the scouts. In addition, the camp vigilance work during this period of time is handed over to you again, be careful.

Finally, every team officer has to do and do the statistics of combat exploits, and write a detailed written report. In addition, according to the rules, the soldiers who died three days later will be cremated, put into an urn, and go with the army to the Martyrs' Forest Garden in Quyerdan for burial. Their wills were to be read out to the soldiers in public, and that was it. ”

The team officers, all of whom had their own tasks, left the room, leaving only Li Yun, Lana, and Jessica.

"Master Jessica, I think you still have many questions about the attack on the Crusader camp a dozen days ago, and I would like to invite you to come today to make this matter clear to your face. Guru Kzanansa and I are much closer than rumored to be, and he is my guardian, appointed by my father a long time ago. And I think you have probably guessed who the mastermind of the attack was, so I won't go into too much detail here. As things stand, I'm going to settle in Quel'dan with the Crusaders, and then shift the focus of our business, and I'm afraid we won't be back to Nesmai for a long time. So, Master, due to the turn of the situation and your status, it may be inconvenient for you and many of you to remain in the crusaders. Thank you for your help twice, this is a little thank you for this, please accept it. Also, please bring this back to Nesman. Lana said as she took out a small wooden box sealed with a small magic crystal, opened it, and the water quality silk inside was a real fruit, and the item she asked Jessica to bring back was a badge representing the identity of the secret leader.

"Please master must not shirk, our friendship is proven, and Master Kezanansa and I have no personal prejudice against you, but it is a matter of high-level and involves many people, and parting is helpless and unavoidable. When the incident has subsided, the Master and all those who wish to be our friends are welcome to Quel'dan. Lana's words were tactful and polite.

“...... I ......" Jessica wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start.

"Jessica, you are a magical genius of the water system, and you don't understand, and you need to know, the darkness of politics. All the unpleasant words that I have spoken before are only for the incident, not to despise you as a person, I hope you can understand. I still have Eric in charge of my plantation in the Temple of Magic, or if anyone is willing to make a bid, I can give it.

"Master Kezananza, we ......" Jessica was tempted to say, although Li Yun's performance sometimes made everyone feel unhappy and even angry, most of the mages in the Temple of Magic had great admiration for his character and abilities. And she herself also hopes to follow Li Yun to experience it.

Waving his hand slightly, Li Yun said lightly: "I once said in the Great Hall of Magic that exploration is boundless, and all mages are welcome to study and discuss with me in the field of spells. But, now is clearly not the time. I will set up a research institute in Queldan, and any mage is welcome to come and communicate. Greetings on my behalf. ”

Jessica, who faced the grand truth and how could she find a reason, was dismissed like this. In order to facilitate contact, Li Yun gave her a flying squirrel, a cute little creature that looks like a squirrel and has membrane wings between its front and rear legs. This is domesticated according to the principle of carrier pigeons, and because it has been subjected to the 'beast control mark', it can fly thousands of miles back to its owner. On the other hand, Jessica only needs to build a comfortable nest for him in Nesman, and the little one can fly farther to find it.

"Sir, I can see that Jessica wanted to stay, and from what she has done, it seems that she was sent with us only by the rules of some tradition, and not by the overseers whom we thought the king had sent explicitly. ”

"I asked her to leave because I wasn't sure I could turn her into 'one of my own'. Keeping an unknown wizard by my side is a deep disregard for my own safety, and I don't want to see any more coercion, no matter who is being coerced. Li Yun's fingers tapped on the edge of the table, shifting the topic from one dull to another, "How are our supplies and supplies? ”

"The consumption of materials is 10% more than planned, because we have more people than before, after this break, even the convoy counts, the crusaders have 4,500 to 4,800 mouths to eat and drink every day, and after the last fire, although after the emergency transfer, the total deficit of grain and grass and other materials is still more than 30%, plus the Knights of the Templars after the confluence, if there is no supply, our food and grass are only enough to eat for about twenty days. And the supply reached only 90% of the original plan. ”

"That is, in the coming days, we need to solve a part of the grain ourselves with hunting and other methods?"

"Theoretically, that's true. A lord of the kingdom of Krant who owns a large tract of land is willing to exchange grain for our porcelain and glass, but we do not have a large transport force of our own, and the Greenhill family is no longer willing to provide the full amount of the convoy as we demanded, after losing a few hundred convoy members this time. ”

"Wimbana, I've made an appointment to meet Bukacs there. For more than a year, his swamp transportation business has been doing well, and when the time comes, we will negotiate with him, and we will invest in him and let him build a transportation fleet to solve his needs. What about the industry?"

"Affected by the assassination of Nesmai's nobles and the burning of the granary, Nesser's purchasing power has decreased by 8 percentage points in recent times. However, the purchasing power of neighboring countries has risen by 12 percentage points this month, profits continue to grow, and our industry is still developing steadily and rapidly. Reseven wrote to her, saying that the people of Nesmail were now so frightened that she did not dare to leave the house. She also said that Krant's princess Erica is here again from Nesman, and has fallen in love with the chess (international) you taught me these days, and is noisily going around arresting people to play chess with her every day!" Lana wanted to talk about something lighter. I didn't feel it when I was in Nesman, but since the expedition, she has been either rushing or busy with military affairs every day, and there have been two big battles in a row, the pressure is high, and there is no one to talk to, so she will inevitably feel lonely as a girl.

"Hmm! How is the recruitment and training of our first batch of armed civilians?" Li Yun didn't seem to understand her mind at all, and the topic returned to the topic.

“...... Oh, it's smoother than originally planned, it's almost done, just give the order, and the first 500 families are ready to go. A look of disappointment flashed in Lana's eyes.

"Well, our planned plan to be in central Queldan is probably going to be cancelled. Although the Crusaders won two consecutive victories, both of which were outnumbered, the losses caused by the war were still somewhat unbearable. The first place to settle is in the northeast of the Glimmering Stone Wilderness, pick a good place, ensure the smooth flow of transportation, clear the surrounding bandits, establish a city-state, and move forward in the coming year. ”

"Oh, the long transport line does require a large number of troops to protect, and now that the relationship with the king is so awkward, it is better to put down roots here earlier. ”

"Okay, that's it first, you also stayed up all night, sleep peacefully, I'll go to the street to confirm the situation in person, the flame lord and necromancer who slipped through the net are all guys who like to hide their heads and show their tails, especially the necromancer who always makes trouble for us, the dead people in Vicburg have been taken away by him, and there are not many corpses that can be found on the street, and another batch of immortals is about to be born somewhere, I suspect that he has a powerful dark magic weapon in his hand. You might be able to find some clues in the city. ”

"Sir, you have to pay attention to rest, although the body is fine, but the spirit is too tired. ”

"My rest is usually scheduled for the march and so on, but now I have to run at full capacity. Having an opponent like the Black Flame Alliance is really hard to sleep. Li Yun said that he had left the chair and walked to the door of the room, he turned his head again and said, "Thank you for your concern." I know that life is a bit boring for you now, and that it is difficult for Alina and her philosophy of life to resonate with you, so bear with me and go shopping at Wemberna, perhaps there is a female priest waiting for our Knights Templar to talk to you. ”

Looking at the door where Li Yun's back disappeared, Lana was a little distracted, "This guy is extremely careful, knows everything, and is always pretending to be incomprehensible." Hey, the picnic hunt promised me last year still hasn't materialized, so you need to plan and put it to good use......"

The ruins, the crackling of buildings, the marks of weapons in battle, the black-and-red stains of dry blood, the deserted streets, the scorching swaying air, the flying sparks...... In Vikburg, the crystallization of dozens of generations of painstaking efforts and sweat was burned in this way. Fortunately, a few days ago, Lana had ordered the food and grass supply team stationed in the city to go to Wimberna first to replenish the supplies of the Templar Knights stationed outside the city. Otherwise, the losses will be even greater.

Alina followed Li Yun around most of the city, but did not find any meaningful information. In addition to being disappointed, half of the city gate in the north of the city was already in sight, Li Yun was thinking about whether to turn back or go through the city, Alina said: "Master, someone is shouting for help, it sounds like a child's voice." ”

"Where?" Li Yun's current body sensing ability is at least three grades worse than Alina's, and the fluctuation of magic is even more imperceptible, which is why Alina is always by his side.

Alina led the way, turned into a side alley, stopped at the corner of another street, and pointed to a completely collapsed house that had been burned, "Here!"

Looking at the red-hot 'charcoal pile', Li Yun's gaze then fell on the sign that burned more than half of it at his feet, "Magic item store, hmph! In this case, even in the underground, I am afraid it will become a 'stewed chicken'." The vitality is so tenacious, look at it!"

Alina Shi Shiran walked towards the fire, and the cold breath released by the Peerless Winter Realm made the objects within five feet of her frost and ice, and even the rolling flames instantly became sculptural shapes. The blade flickered, turning the obstacle in front of her into ice chips and sending it flying, and Alina used the tip of the knife to pick up a blackened iron box that was more than a foot square. At this time, Li Yun also heard the cry for help, "Open it and take a look!"

Throwing the iron box up, the knife flashed, and the locked side of the iron box had been cut off by Qiqi, and then, the iron box fell steadily on the knife surface. In the thick smoke, a small humanoid thing the size of a palm flapped its smoking wings and flew around like a headless fly, shouting in a childish childish voice: "Burn me, burn me!"

"Pure magic fluctuations. Alina said.

"Magic pets, boring toy puppets!"

"I'm not a pet, I'm the smartest magical creature in this plane, the crowning masterpiece of the archmage Anthony Öster, the well-informed traveler, the brilliant diplomat......" The little thing swayed in the air, puffing out its little black and flowery face, crossed its waist, and puffed up in a puffed retort.

"A little clever, a toy puppet who likes to brag!" Li Yun interrupted the little thing and turned his head to walk back.

"As I said, I am not a puppet, only I can open the treasure trove of great Anthony Öster's wisdom, where there is knowledge and great treasures that can make people incomparably powerful......" was despised and the little thing staggered to and fro, shouting in a thin voice that was a little higher.

"I think you're supposed to be the magical life that the magic item shop is about to sell, because that's where I found you!" Alina was much kinder than Li Yun, but she also thought that the little thing was lying.

"It's really aggrieved, how can such a noble life of mine be a random goods to be sold and sold! It was the great Anthony Öster who made me sleep in a stone-walled iron box, waiting for fate to meet, I didn't expect it to be like this......" muttered, the little thing rubbed his golden hair to show his depression and trouble. "Oh, by the way, thank you for saving me, little sister!"

"......" was called a little sister by such a little bean ding, and Alina didn't know what to say.

"It's a pity, my old master said that my new master was the first male he met after waking up, and he was still a very powerful creature, otherwise, I would rather follow you, this guy walking in front is simply too arrogant!"

"He is my master, the one I love the most. Go play, cutie!" Alina smiled at the little thing.

"I don't call me a cutie, I have my own noble name, Rodfischnit Osira Komarib, which means the darling of the glorious and dazzling god of light. Showing two sharp little tiger teeth, the little thing said triumphantly.

"Radish, that's a rubbish name!" Li Yun shook his head.

The beautiful little eyebrows furrowed, and the little thing flew near Li Yun's shoulder, shouting loudly at Li Yun's ear: "It's not a radish! It's your luck to meet me, hurry up and sign a contract with me, and you will become the new master of the treasure house of wisdom!"

"Stay away from me, you nasty fly, I don't have the slightest interest in the treasure house of wisdom you said, and this is my blood, do you want it?" Li Yun said and raised his right hand, pulling out a crackling pink arc between his index finger and thumb, and took off his mask mischievously, grinning at the little thing.

"Ah......h

"Master, look......" Alina is a woman after all, and the little thing is really cute (the appearance refers to Cupid, the goddess of love, who is a few years younger) Now the little thing is crying and making trouble, and she can't bear it.

"Give this little liar a magic crystal and let him get out of here!" Li Yun said angrily.

The little thing cried even harder, but his eyes sneaked through his fingers as Alina took out a magic crystal the size of a pigeon's egg from the space bag on her waist, and then stared at the space bag and swallowed her saliva.

"Oh, take it, you heard it too, and the master said that he wanted you to leave. Although Alina said this, there was a clear hint of protection in her tone.

Holding the magic crystal in both hands, the little thing first exclaimed: "Wow! It's the best pond crystal!" smiled and took a bite of Alina's face, "Thank you, big sister!" "Ahh

From this day on, the cute creature who likes to brag joined Li Yun's life, although he was reluctant, Li Yun always called him radish, and after a long time, he got used to it.
