Chapter Seventy-Three: The Fortress
The carriage was on the way to the barracks, and at this time, Ye Junwen and the others had already passed through the portal of the Mage Tower to Sodalik City, which was close to the front line, and then set off from Sodalik City to the barracks. There is about half a day left in the trip, and there is one more person at present, which is Sanders.
Yes, Sanders finally agreed to go to the barracks with Ye Junwen and them, of course, this was also because of Master Ron's order. At present, Sanders's situation has no power, and the only thing he can rely on is the academy, so he can't help but listen to Ron's words. Even so, of course, he is still very dissatisfied with the water god, and does not admit that he is a subordinate of the water god, but just says that he is working for the academy and cooperating with the water god for the time being, this is not arrogant, this is indeed the case.
Of course, the water god is not very satisfied, he can't get used to this Sanders, he doesn't have any joy about the other party joining his camp, but feels that it is a trouble. What is the use of a subordinate who is disobedient but may still raise the bar with himself, it will only be the opposite.
"Do we really need to get him on board?" The water god couldn't help but ask, at this time, of course Ye Junwen was still in the same carriage with the water god, and Sanders was of course in the carriage behind, so the two also discussed directly.
"It's not this guy that's important, it's Ron's support." Ye Junwen said, "He has already indicated that the academy will fully support our actions, so there should be a lot of mages coming here in the future, and it is still possible to form a mage team and something like that." ”
"Hmm......" The water god nodded slightly, to be honest, it is not unheard of mages appearing on the battlefield, but there is really no precedent for the mage legion to appear on the battlefield. Because of the situation in this world, most generals don't want to use mages, and they also look down on mages, thinking that they are just a group of wastes who study the mysteries of spells all day long, they are not suitable for the battlefield, and of course they cannot steal the military merits that belong to their warriors. Of course, mages don't like to go to the battlefield, and it's not interesting to stay with these soldiers who guard them all day long, they are ostracized everywhere, and they can't report accurately even if they make meritorious contributions.
However, their side is different, it is really a situation that has never happened for a mage to become the leader of the legion, according to Ye Junwen, maybe he can really change the status of the current mage. With him here, those mages should feel more comfortable joining his troops, and in this way, this can indeed be achieved, which is why Ron will say that he supports them.
"But that Sanders ......," the water god frowned at the mention of the name.
"No matter how good he should be, there's a high probability that this guy won't rebel." Ye Junwen said, "What he wants is fame, if he betrays the country, he won't get anything, so he may fight bravely to prove himself, as long as you don't stimulate him, this person should be able to use." ”
Ye Junwen said several "shoulds" and "maybes", of course, in order to leave a way back for himself. Yes, of course, he didn't bring this up for any mage legion, he wasn't a mage himself, why did he engage in a mage legion. What he needed was Sanders, someone who could kill him at any time.
Sanders, this guy, is a fool in Ye Junwen's opinion, because he is so easy to provoke, and then such a person still has the strength that should be very strong, at least he has the confidence to defeat the water god, so isn't this the best candidate to find his own death.
Ye Junwen proposed to take Sanders with him, of course, to ensure that this guy was always by his side, so that if he wanted to go back, he could find an excuse to fight him. After all, Ye Junwen doesn't want to go back now, because he hasn't brought the goods back yet, and then he has to find a way to solve the problem of the few guys with guns he will encounter when he goes back, so he will find a way to go back, which will practice the vindictiveness he has just learned, and it will take some time to prepare, so he doesn't want to go back for the time being, and he is afraid that the other party will not find anyone after Sanders leaves, so he proposed this plan.
It's really not bad, at least the god of water and even Ron believed it. Then this time bomb is now by Ye Junwen's side, and it is indeed very convenient to find him at any time if you want to blow it up.
"Anyway, thank you this time." The water god suddenly said as well.
Ye Junwen probably knew what the other party thought, after all, this time it was not about Ye Junwen, it was a private matter between the water god and Sanders, but Ye Junwen helped the water god many times, which in the eyes of the water god, it was naturally Ye Junwen's behavior to express his position, and his favorability towards Ye Junwen also soared.
Of course, he didn't know that Ye Junwen just wanted to provoke this person, and deliberately angered the other party after the two had a conflict and set a flag. The water god himself doesn't like Sanders, so if he really kills Sanders after he comes back, he won't have a big problem, after all, Ye Junwen will definitely let the other party do it first, Sanders is now a part of the army, if he does it to his own people, even if he dies, no one will be held accountable, in all aspects, Ye Junwen has buried the pit, just wait for his goods to be in place.
"No need to say that, I didn't do it for you." Ye Junwen replied lightly, of course, this is really true, but he doesn't believe it in the water god.
When the two were talking, Tesseth next to him was always a little anxious to interject, but he didn't open his mouth after trying a few times, and he didn't know how to say it. Because according to his position, of course he disagrees with the formation of the mage legion, he is a martial artist, to be honest, he also looks down on mages, of course, in addition to their legion leader, if other mages are added, he is also worried about what harm will be caused to the legion, these generals are already a little dissatisfied with the water god, and then the water god also let other mages join the legion, isn't this ...... Something is going to happen.
However, it is difficult for him to persuade now, he is not a mage, and if he says this position, he will make the water god feel that he is also an oppositionist, which is more troublesome. So he tried to speak several times, but he didn't know how to say it, and he was very uncomfortable.
However, he also looked at Ye Junwen opposite, and suddenly felt that it might be better for him and Ye Junwen to talk about it first, but he had to say hello to Ye Junwen first, which had to be said to him alone, it was not appropriate now, and he would find a way to contact him when he arrived at the barracks.
The atmosphere in the car was a little silent, and after walking forward a little, Ye Junwen took the initiative to ask: "I heard Sanders say before, you used to have a title called the King of Flames?" ”
"It does have that title in the academy." The water god nodded.
"So you're still good at fire-based magic?" Ye Junwen asked.
"I'll only use fire magic." The water god replied.
"What?" Ye Junwen was slightly stunned, "You can only use fire magic?" Can't be water-based? ”
"Magicians generally only practice one department of magic, of course, there are some of them are dual-system, one main and one auxiliary, but fire magic and water magic are more conflicting, and it is not easy to cultivate these two. I can't absorb water-based elemental particles, so I can't use water-based magic. The water god replied.
"......" Ye Junwen was a little speechless, at first he thought that the magician could use magic of any attribute, and the water god used fireballs to attack before, he thought that the water magic was stronger, but he disdained to use it on this assassin. What I didn't expect was that this guy didn't know water magic at all, he could only use fire magic, so what kind of water god are you Ye Junwen suddenly felt that Sanders's ridicule was still a little reasonable, this thing may really be a bit of deep ice.
"I'll tell you about this later." The water god looked at Ye Junwen's expression and probably knew what Ye Junwen was thinking, but it was estimated that because there was still a relationship between Tesse and Selena in the carriage, he didn't plan to say it now, but he also said that he would tell Ye Junwen when he was free, which showed that he still trusted Ye Junwen very much.
Of course, Ye Junwen didn't care much about this reason, he was just curious to ask, this water god who can only set fire is indeed ......
"It's almost there." At this time, the water god also looked outside, and then said. Hearing this, Ye Junwen also opened the window on the other side and looked, and a huge fortress appeared in front of him.
This is a huge military fortress built on a hill, unlike the city, this fortress has no living area, a huge fortress in the middle, and then several walls in front and back, which are completely used for military purposes. One side of the fortress is against the cliff, and there are three other exits, Ye Junwen and they are now heading in the direction of the middle of the city.
From the perspective of the terrain, this is also a military point, Ye Junwen looked at it, the surrounding terrain is more complicated, and it is really very troublesome to pass over the mountains and mountains, and this fortress is on the only passage in the middle, if you want to invade the empire, this is a position that must be captured, but this fortress is obviously easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Of course, when Ye Junwen looked at it, he also found that there was already a whole group of soldiers standing at the main gate of the fortress at this time, and it seemed that they were preparing to welcome the return of the water god. Of course, the matter of the assassination of the water god has already been spread, although it is only one night, so the city lord of Sodalik City, who was passing by before, also asked the water god if he needed an escort, but was rejected by the water god. And the legion obviously heard about the assassination, so they greeted it this time, and the distance was also very far, for fear that someone would attack again at this time.
Soon, the carriage, escorted by soldiers, came all the way to the gate of the fortress and stopped. The water god was the first to get out of the carriage, Ye Junwen also followed, just got out of the car, the first thing Ye Junwen saw was a woman in armor who kept looking at him, the eyes on both sides met, Ye Junwen probably guessed who the other party was, she should be his fiancée Beverly.
