Chapter 21: Preparing to Go
"Kena'er, I'm leaving tomorrow, do you have anything you want?"
"As long as you come back. Kena thought for a moment and added, "I've heard that the dark elves are very good at that, you, alas, don't mess around and bring some random guys back......
"What are you talking about...... Mike's eyes drifted to the side.
"Do you think of your daughter's name?" said Kenael, changing the subject. She can't control Mike, who will be outside the king's life, and can only hope that Cecilia can play a role.
"If you think about it, it's called Qiannedy. "The Moon Princess, who doesn't know her background, is quite similar to her daughter's situation.
"Qiannidi, pee dad all over, punish him for leaving you so early. "Kena is naughty.
Mike retreated.
"Senior, during the time I'm away, I can only ask you to take care of Kenael and the Offet family. Mike turned to Adrian.
"It's all family, as it should be. "Senior Adrian looks at the little baby's sister. My sister has it too, and it's been three months.
"I also have to take Audrey and No. 5 to practice more. "Both of these are talents that Mike is optimistic about. Needless to say, Audrey has been taught by Kenael, Mike and Adrian successively, and has learned first-order spells, and her talent is much higher than Kenael.
"Yes, I know. ”
"Thank you in advance. I know a master, a master of the 8th order of arcane, and when I find the right opportunity, I will find a way to get him to agree to teach you the arcane. "Mike paints pies.
"Thank you so much for this. "Senior Adrian is still very rare in this painting cake, although the Centia Academy of Magic can also be learned, but with his current level, the required points are by no means a few. If you can save a lot of time on tasks and concentrate on studying, you may be able to speed up your progress significantly.
After a month-long rotational reorganization, the 2nd Regiment of the Knights of Truth who remained behind the ruins and the 3rd Regiment of the Knights of Truth, who marched into the underground world, have been reorganized, and the head of the Knights has a suitable candidate. The 1st regiment is directly led by the top voter Mike, and there is no one at the moment.
No. 8 Gnoll Luken had mixed feelings in his heart.
When the regiment commanders said that they were going to fight, Luken thought that they were going to defend Sanzang Town, and they were very motivated. Later, however, it was learned from the captives that they had joined the Jelasse army and were fighting against the Fort of Santil together with the Far Mountain Army.
Lucan looked at the sky speechlessly.
Even a gnolla who had once wandered the civilized world, Lucan still couldn't figure out where Jerazah, Far Mountain City, and Santil Fort were sacred. But one thing he knew very well: there were absolutely no cities within twenty kilometers of Sanzang Town. Lucan couldn't figure out when he had run that far, but there was a time when everyone was asked to get into a bag, and when they came out a few moments later, they were no longer in the same place. Now that I think about it, I probably got here at that time.
Luken felt that the regimental commanders must have wanted to take advantage of the chaos to make war exploits to obtain a fief, and then carry out the construction of the territory, so that they could gain a great advantage in diplomacy and commerce, which is indeed a way, and it is more appropriate to choose Jerazah, they are weak, and they can only fight against Fort Santil by uniting with the distant mountain city, and they should be more independent after obtaining the fief.
The battle had been going well, so well that Lucan had thought that the thriving non-human town of his dreams was already beckoning.
But the sudden fiasco shattered Lucan's dream and let him know that war is not so easy.
But after the mercenary group fled, a ruin was discovered. After careful exploration, Lucan felt that the ruins were a good one, and that they could be used as a base to build a thriving non-human town, if they could successfully solve diplomatic and trade problems.
Lucan now regrets it very much, he had known that there was such a ruin in this place, and he should have persuaded the regimental commander to help Santyr Fort in the first place. The ruins are relatively close to the Tyre Castle, and if they receive its canonization, they can be used as a subordinate town to trade. But now it's too late to say anything, and he has already made a feud with Santil Fort, and has been blocked here by sending troops. Although the terrain is difficult to defend, even if Santil Fort does not attack and only blockades, there is no need to think about prosperous towns.
The leaders want to explore the underworld and try to trade with the dark elves, and Lucan feels that there is no other way to do it at the moment.
When the regimental commanders decided on who to stay behind, Lucan's self-nomination was approved. The captains appointed him as the mayor of Ruins Town and the head of the 3rd Regiment of the Knights of Truth, and his main tasks include not only daily management and defense, but also four major tasks: ruin restoration, warlock training, doctrinal promotion, and knight training. , assigned him several deputies to assist him in carrying out the task.
There are 100 people in Luken's 3rd Regiment of the Knights of Truth, half of whom are from Sanzang Town, and half are selected from the inhabitants of the ruins and the remnants of the war at Fort Santil.
When it comes to territorial security, Lucan isn't too worried. This place is under the rift, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Santil Fort is very busy now, and there should be no effort to take care of it for a year and a half. In the future, it may be possible that Fort Santil will lose the battle, so let's talk about it when the regimental commanders come back.
The idea of supporting the army and rebelling and establishing himself as the king was absolutely absent from Luken. First of all, he has been inspired by his self-proclaimed mercenary group's ideal of "building a thriving non-human race town", and secondly, the difference in strength is too great, unless he is willing to throw away the ruins, he dares to resist, and the group leaders can pinch him to death.
Lucan didn't have the domineering spirit of a chicken's head, he felt that it would be good if he could occupy this relic town, and it didn't matter if it was someone else's subordinate or not. Besides, the regimental commanders are highly skilled and ambitious, and when they come back from the ground, they may not be able to nest here. Just as the Regimental Commanders didn't manage Sanzang Town themselves, Luken felt that if he showed enough ability, the Regimental Commanders would most likely let him manage the Relic Town as well.
No. 9 Goblin Lazer felt like an opportunity.
Lazer was not as lofty as Ruken in terms of ideology, and wanted to build a thriving non-human town. He joined the mercenary group purely out of desperation, and at the same time, he also wanted to take the opportunity to solve the hidden dangers of his body and learn martial arts systematically. By the time he solved the hidden danger and learned martial arts, he wanted to run again, and the mercenary group was already involved in the war.
There were many opportunities to escape in the war, but Lazer not only got several good pieces of equipment, but also grabbed a very powerful vampire sword, so he didn't want to run anymore, and wanted to get a few more high-end equipment.
Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that before I could get more high-level equipment, the mercenary group suffered a crushing defeat and was blocked in the ruins by the Santil Fort army. Although I later returned to Sanzang Town for some reason, I was training there every day, and there was no chance to escape.
The leaders are going to explore the unknown underworld, and Lazer doesn't want to participate in such a dangerous thing. Fortunately, the leaders felt that the ruins were quite good, and they were ready to leave some people to occupy them as a base for the newly established Sanzang Shinrikyo.
Lazer did not believe in the Tripitaka Shinrikyo religion, but in order to be able to remain in the ruins, especially so that he could be appointed as the head of the base, he desperately memorized the teachings, actively participated in the rituals, and tried to portray himself as a devout believer.
The hard work paid off, and Lazer was appointed one of the two captains of the Knights of Truth.
It's a pity that when deciding on the candidates to stay behind, the self-recommended Lazer was unfortunately defeated in the competition with his old rival Luken, who also recommended himself, because he didn't know how to spell and didn't know how to cultivate warlocks, so he could only lead the team to the underworld with the captains. Lazer secretly complained in his heart, this time, he would never have a chance to run again. In that kind of dangerous place, being alone is not much different from looking for death.
Lazer had largely abandoned the idea of seizing power and rebelling, although he did wish he had stayed in the ruins, and the commanders never returned. There is no way, the difference in strength is too big, he wants to rebel, it is better to commit suicide, and it is better to come simply. Two of the four regiment commanders have the ability to pinch him to death, one can kill him, and the only one who may not be able to kill him is the dragon who has difficulty moving in many places. Even his old opponent Lu Ken stabilized him because of his strength in practicing the secret technique of transforming dragons.
Although Lazer would rather be the leader of a small group, reality is stronger than people, since there is no chance, it is better to be the leader of the knights under the captains first. The commanders of the regiment are highly skilled, and there will definitely be opportunities like ruins in the future, and it will not be too late to fight for them, and maybe they will be able to lead the crowd to stand on their own.
But that's all for later, and the most important thing at the moment is to completely control this Knights of Truth 2 in their hands. They were all truly elite, and they were unbelievably well equipped, not a little stronger than Lucan's 3rd Regiment. According to Lazer's estimate, as long as half of the 60 people of the 2nd Regiment are out, they can defeat the 100 so-called elites of the 3rd Regiment, and most of them will not be killed. If this 2nd regiment can be used by him wholeheartedly, it should be possible to overthrow the regiment commanders.
It's a pity that Lazer knows that if he dares to incite rebellion, he will immediately be tied up and asked for credit. Those guys, especially the deputy head of the seventh half-troll Hazi, are very hot for his position as the head of the group. A bunch of delusional dogs, you can continue to daydream about your blue sky!
In his busy schedule, Lazer also casually took Furna, who had been teaching swordsmanship for four months, into his account. Originally, with her ordinary physique and useless appearance of spell hunting, it was impossible to have a chance to enter Lazer's magic eye anyway, but the group leaders attached great importance to Fuerna and seemed to think that she had a certain cultivation value, and Lazer felt that she could believe it. What's more, Furna has recently learned a spell called self-shapeshifting, which is a lot of fun to be able to transform herself around. So Lazel made a slight move and got her to bed.
Fuerna, a multi-hybrid, breathed a sigh of relief.
After this period of training, she finally learned the self-transforming spell, and she also learned two-handed swordsmanship, but she didn't know what to do for a while.
According to her previous thoughts, she should find a chance to escape now and fulfill her dream of a civilized world, but she didn't want to leave. Although the dragon has always been domineering, and Mr. Mage, Miss Druid, and Orc think highly of themselves, they are thousands of big men, and they are much better than her previous leaders. Her position in the regiment was, indeed, as Mr. Mage had originally said, "as my subordinate, she could be equal to my other subordinates." Furna was uncomfortable with this kind of equality at first, but she gradually got used to it and felt pretty good, so she didn't really want to leave.
When she was struggling to decide, Furna learned that the top of the cliff was blocked by the troops sent by Fort Santil, and she could only stay in the ruins or go to the underworld with the mercenary group. Fuerna's heart suddenly relaxed, there is no choice now, so there is no need to entangle, let's go with the mercenary group.
If there is anything wrong with the mercenary group, it is that there are only some goblins and gnolls in the group who have never seen the world, and it is impossible to tell her stories about the civilized world. However, they can tell some jokes such as Optimus Prime vs. Megatron, which are said to be the previous adventures of the captain, but unfortunately they are always upside down.
Later, Lazer, who taught her to practice swords, found that she liked to listen to it, and told her some of it, and it was much better. It was too obvious that Furna knew that Lazer had intentions for herself, but she felt that Lazer was not bad, not much uglier than those orcs before, and her martial arts were even higher.
"Is this all the Captain himself, so why doesn't he say it now?" asked Furna, who had turned herself into a human by spell, lying in the crook of Lazer's arm, as she wanted to hear the Captain's original version.
"The second lady is not here, every time she pesters the head of the regiment to say, how dare we. Lazer also had some regrets. He longed very much for Furna to become the second lady, but he also knew that he would definitely not see the sun the next morning.
The second lady is also the bread lady in the mouth of the goblin, and she has heard some things about Furna, but she has never seen anyone. I thought I wouldn't see her until I came back from the underground, but the day before the mercenary group, which is now an armed merchant group and Shinrikyo, set out, she also came, and wanted to go underground together.
'It's so beautiful, if only I were like that.' Even if you can't be pampered by the head of the group, you can be raised by the original guests......
Archbishop Jurgen No. 1 rejoices.
It's a severe Stockholm patient, and he hits Mike wherever his master points him. Not to mention going underground, even going to hell.
The archbishop firmly believed in the Sanzang Shinrikyo Sect, and relying on the knowledge of the spells he had learned before, after less than two months of penance, it was already able to use the two Tier 0 tricks of healing minor injuries and repairing techniques. This gave it even more confidence that it had proved the greatness of the elect and the favor of God of truth.
The only thing he regretted was that during this time, no one else had been able to obtain divine magic. It hoped that after it left, the two goblin priests would be able to take over its burdens and fulfill its wish to train priests.
Now, 1 hopes that 9 will seriously cooperate with his work, let the Knights of Truth learn the arts, and train them to become veritable Knights of Truth.
Warlock No. 1 Audrey was a little anxious.
She has been doing mercenary tasks for more than half a year, and she feels that she is okay, but not only does she have no savings, but she can't even afford to pay the tuition fees, and she doesn't have any magic equipment. Is this what adventurers should look like, it's completely different from the story?
Senior Adrian smiled bitterly when he heard Audrey's question: "You also know that it's all a story, and you can't take it seriously." ”
"But I think that's what the old man looks like. ”
"Alas, the situation is different...... Senior Adrian sighed, with such a brother-in-law, he feels a lot of pressure. "They train a lot of goblin slaves to participate in adventures, and each person gets paid hundreds of people. ”
"Take, for example, the mercenary group's adventure at the beginning of last month, when they went to clean up the ruins of a kobold with six or seven hundred goblins. If you want to fight down this scale, you have to have dozens of mercenaries, and it's just a matter of getting a cent. But they brought nearly 100 alien slaves, not only is it easier to force land on the other side, but also there is no need to give a copper plate to others, and they can also select some elites from the six or seven hundred captives to join the mercenary group to expand the scale, and the rest can also be used for production. In this way, their total return is naturally quite substantial. ”
"We always fight a dozen or more small groups of dozens at most, and we basically kill them, and we want a lot of people to share, and the benefits are naturally not comparable to them. Of course, I'd love to catch captives and snowball for training, but the problem is that I don't have the conditions. We're based in Sentia for our adventures, so we have to abide by Sentia laws, and there's no way to organize goblins on a large scale. If you want to snowball, you have to build a stable pioneer camp, but that's easier said than done. ”
"Steady supply, solid defense, and adequate manpower are the three essential elements for building a Pioneer Camp. Mike has a lot of spell slots, so many that he can use bread-making to raise hundreds of goblins, which is much easier than transporting grain to cook. Wukong is strong, very strong, so strong that he can catch as much as he wants, and he can catch whoever he wants, which solves both the problem of defense and manpower. The two of them are the cornerstones of Sanzang Town. Thrall can lighten Goku's burden a lot, and Sermena can make everyone's efforts more productive, both of which have made a big difference. ”
"With our abilities, it's not difficult to find a helper like Sermena, but it's not easy for someone like Sal. As for Mike and Goku, let's go and help them out. ”
"I see. Audrey thought thoughtfully. She regrets it a little now, she just followed her master in the first place, and she shouldn't have asked to be Miss Kena'er's maid. The young lady treated her very well, but her ambition was now not limited to the maid. She wants to go out and explore, she wants a bigger world, but the baby is not yet a full moon, and the young lady also needs someone to take care of her......
The kobold leader was a little sad.
Although the bandit leader is leaving, he has left some of the bandits' men behind. Even these subordinates are not something it can deal with. It wants to lead the children to find a new home, but it is no longer young and feels powerless.
What's more, there are already many children who don't listen to it anymore.
One of the six children who knew how to spell came back after disappearing for a while, and learned the magic of making bread out of thin air, which is said to have been learned in a place where there are many kobolds, and it is the base camp of the robbers.
Then the tribe became unstable......
