In the world of Shug's past, it was very taboo to say such things before engaging in some important and dangerous action.

Even if nothing happens to you, after saying something like this, it will give people a very bad premonition.

However, Wei Lin seemed incredibly calm when she said this, and she didn't even have much fluctuation in her tone, it was clear that to her, it was just a statement of a potential possibility.

"We should be leaving in two days, and we're mainly waiting for a new batch of equipment to arrive...... But none of these new pieces of equipment are mage's."

"Sounds like the supply of alchemy materials is very tight?"

"Expected."

Wei Lin replied as she stacked the books on the shelves, "It's just a matter of going according to the plan now, and we'll have to be as frugal as possible when using magic crystals and other items, otherwise we'll have to shoot like the rest of the soldiers if the mana supply runs low."

She turned her head to look at Xiuge, "But you shouldn't lose to ordinary soldiers in this area, right?" The ladies of the aristocratic circles are discussing your marksmanship."

"I hope they're really talking about 'archery,'"

"Huh?"

Confusion flashed in her eyes as she didn't understand the words of Shug, but then she said, "Because of the Ernst family, the Council shouldn't give you any tasks that are too dangerous or troublesome for the time being, so while this time is in the making, I suggest speeding up your study of battlefield magic, which will be useful later."

Hugg noticed that Vilyn seemed to emphasize the word "temporary."

"You're not optimistic about the battle?"

However, Wei Lin shook her head, "I don't know much about war, and I'm not interested...... But it's very likely that we'll be going to the Rugged Hills, which is close to the city of Salem and the source of the 'great earthquake' that preceded it."

"So there might be other tasks?"

"Not sure, but I'd suggest be prepared."

Verin put the last book on the shelf, and then she sighed, "According to the intelligence within the Council, yesterday alone, the people of St. Stille fired more than 10,000 crystalline shells in the Isa River valley, and the magic cloud from the explosion even interfered with the operation of magic in an entire area, and then St. Steele's army launched a surprise attack, but was repelled by the Emep Gong *** team who were cowering in the middle of the position."

10,000 shells.

In terms of numbers alone, it's not a lot.

However, they are not the same as the cannonballs in Shuge's perception - the production and power of the Magic Crystallization Shells are directly related to the Magic Crystals used to make them, as well as the magic patterns and rituals inscribed on the shells, which is the biggest reason why the production of Crystallized Shells is difficult to increase.

In this case, the shelling of 10,000 shells is already very staggering.

Not to mention the fact that some of them were most likely fired by the St. Steeles' snowfield cannons, and Shuge couldn't even imagine what the positions and soldiers of the Duchy of Imorp would be like after such a bombardment, and they were still able to effectively counterattack and repel enemy attacks in such a difficult situation, which was impressive enough.

….

Of course, this may also have something to do with Merlin's entry into the war.

Of course, the impact of individual mages on the battlefield is limited, but when the number of active mages breaks through a limit, the strength they can burst out will also exceed ordinary people's imagination.

At least for the time being, Merlin's spellcasters are still a formidable force capable of shaking the entire world.

In the evening, Shuge managed to meet the alchemists who had arrived at the Fifth Chasseur Regiment's headquarters in a vehicle.

Professor Frey Meyer and Sally were among them, of course.

Because the Wattel Kingdom has entered a state of mobilization, there are many young faces in the team of alchemists this time, and most of them are women, which is related to the career preferences and specialties of women in the Plateau Kingdom for a long time.

The young female healers looked around curiously, the young men in the Chasseur's neat uniforms were very attractive in Waterl's culture, and there was a few seconds of silence when a stream-level mage like Xiuge, who was equally young and clearly from an aristocratic background, approached the group.

Among the doctors, it was clear that someone was at the scene of the shelling that day, so it was not long before someone recognized him and greeted him on his own initiative.

In response, Xiuge could only nod his head in response.

"Looks like you're going to have a tough task ahead."

After greeting Meyer, Shug said helplessly, "I think you may need to spend some time getting everyone to get in shape, otherwise you will arrive at the battlefield in such a state...... I'm afraid that before they can make contact with the enemy, the commanders' rebuke and punishment will come down first."

"I understand."

Mayer was obviously a little troubled as well: "It's true that the war is too early for them, but it's also something that can't be helped...... Their elders, fathers and brothers have all been sent to the battlefield, and I, the professor and mentor, have to rush with them."

Schug walked side by side with Meyer, who was much shorter than Schug, but not slow at all: "As soon as we arrive at our destination, we will set up a field hospital on the spot, and that will be the most important training opportunity for them – I will try my best to make everyone understand their responsibilities and familiarize themselves with their work......

At this time, Xiuge spoke: "It is not difficult to see from the battle in the Isa River valley that the intensity of the war this time will be far greater than in the past, in this case, the bottom line and principles of war that we have observed in the past may no longer exist, Professor, you need to be mentally prepared, I have a hunch that the field hospital may no longer be an absolutely safe place in the future."

"I understand."

Mayer patted Shuge on the shoulder, "I'm grateful that you can tell me this in advance, then the safety of these young people will depend on you...... Oh yes, I forgot, you're young too! It's strange, why do I always feel like I can see the shadows of veterans in you?"

"Maybe it has something to do with my grandfather?"

"Field Marshal Zeke Ernst is indeed a genius in the military field."

Mayer nodded, "But what we're facing now is more than just battlefield and political changes...... Mr. Schugg, do you think there might be any plans for the association under the present circumstances?"

….

"I don't know where they're going, but I'm sure they'll do everything they can to get the war going, and I guess they won't want to see it end prematurely."

"Oh? Why is that?"

So Shug stopped and raised his chin towards a large steam cart parked not far away for transporting the sick and wounded: "As you wrote in your article, the combination of new technology and magic is allowing us, and even the entire human race, to step into new territory that we have never set foot in before, and in this new field, we are bound to start a new round of development at an astonishing rate. And once this trend emerges, no one can easily stifle it."

"I think I see what you mean...... Do you think that the basic principle of the actions of the Black and Japanese Associations is to be the enemy of human development itself?"

Xiuge nodded, "From a human perspective, it can be understood in this way."

"So they definitely don't want to see a period of smooth development, that is, they want to drag everybody into the quagmire of this war...... It is indeed a very vicious and effective practice, and this may be the goal of their influence over the royal family of Saint-Steele for so long."

At this point, the brilliant scholar suddenly asked, "But what you are saying is only their approach, not their goal or point of departure, and I do not think that there is unwarranted hatred and hostility among the intelligent beings of Van Grace."

This time, Huge didn't speak.

Because he was also trying his best to imagine what it would be like for the so-called "black sun" to rise.

……

Over the next few days,

All members of the Fifth Chasseur Regiment have begun extremely rigorous training, and as a military mage, Xiuge has received a different training than the soldiers, or the task is a little heavier.

The Council's requirements for mages can be said to be strict to the point of being harsh, which is even more than Merlinle.

According to Krautz, he wanted all the mages in the army to be able to cast spells accurately when they had magic and shoot with their guns when they didn't.

These two words were of course the most basic of his words, and in fact, the Council even expected that all the mages who accompanied them would be proficient in several different healing techniques, and that they would be able to provide the artillerymen with auxiliary work such as the calibration of magic rituals at any time.

Of course, there is no way to achieve this.

Xiuge was an accident of an accident, and the experience accumulated in his body from the veterans of Salem City played a 100% role at this moment, with the continuous physical strength and magic provided by the "Walking Forest", he was completely able to complete all the training items as quickly as possible, and even the combat in the army using daggers, he was able to reach the passing line.

This kind of performance made the always strict Krautz a little dumbfounded.

But in fact, this is the result of Xiuge's deliberate restraint, at least he has sifted out some of the special habits developed by those plains soldiers, and he doesn't want to be inexplicably put on a big hat like a "Deran spy", which he can't afford.

During training, Shug got an unexpected surprise.

….

He received a belated gift.

There are two potions, the "Cat's Eye Potion" that allows people to gain amazing observation power in a short period of time, and the "Inspiration Potion" that soothes the mind and stimulates the imagination.

And the makers of them are Sally and Verin.

Among them, Sally is responsible for the preparation of the potions and the preparation of the potion base, while Viline is responsible for using magic rituals to activate the magic ingredients in these potions to make them work.

It was a belated birthday present.

In the name of a friend, it was given to Schug Ernst, who was born during the Winter Festival.

In this way, at the end of the Winter Festival, Xiuge received the first real gift after he arrived in this world.

In the afternoon of the same day, at the moment when the Winter Festival officially ended, the Fifth Chasseur Regiment received an order for all soldiers to finish their training and set off immediately to take a steam train to the rugged hills.

……

The moving train, the snow that keeps throwing it behind the window...... It all seems to be sending Shuge to some point in the past.

However, when he turned his gaze to the interior of the carriage, he was brought back to reality by the figures in black military uniforms.

This round of shipping lasts a full week.

It was not only the Fifth Chasseur Regiment that received transportation, but also a large number of follow-up weapons and supplies, most of which needed to be used to support other troops on the front line - this kind of transportation efficiency was still a certain gap compared to the railway transportation in Xiuge's understanding, but it was only at the current stage, but it was enough to open up the gap with the speed of assembly and logistics supply of the plains countries.

After personally calculating the amount of medical supplies that can be transported in a train and the time it takes to transport them, Professor Mayer felt that this new form of transportation was epoch-making.

"Even if there is no war, it will certainly change the course of our history."

Perhaps it was the environment, or perhaps the impressive faces of those huddled around the station to bid farewell to relatives, friends, and lovers as the train left the station, and Schug couldn't help but want to write something, but when he lifted his pen, he couldn't write the words of the past.

It's not that there is no ability, but that there is a lack of state of mind.

Professor Meyer sat across from Hugg, who was holding the old Zeke's book and studying it carefully, so that he too noticed the pen in Hugg's hand that had not moved.

"Do you want to write something?"

"I have this urge, but I ...... it."

Shug smiled, "Now around me

Everything is different from what it used to be, and it's not easy to write about things from the past."

"You can try to change it."

"Change is possible, but ...... There has to be a beginning, right?"

"Maybe it starts with a pseudonym?"

"I used to be like this, every time I wanted to write something new, I would change my pen name, and that feeling would make me change my identity and face, and my thinking would naturally change," Meyer advised.

"Oh? What other pseudonyms did the professor use?"

"Haha, that's too much, when I was writing, I used the two pen names of 'Issa, and 'Snow Man', and later when I contributed to the newspaper, I changed my name to 'The Nameless One,...... Meyer, which is actually also a pen name, which I started using with my friends after starting the newspaper, and I have been using it for too long, and the people around me are used to it, so this has become my real name."

Frey Meyer laughed, "So, Mr. Shugg, what new pseudonym would you use?"

……
