Despite the ridicule, Hawkins understands it very well in his heart. Those who dared to sneak into the back of the wizarding guild alone were all the strongest of the strong, and it was not surprising that they had treasures on their bodies.

He smiled and turned the subject back to Herman's punishment, which he had just learned: "As for the matter of Deciduous Castle, no one can think of it. Surviving this kind of wizard is already the greatest luck. Herman did a good job of this, and he was very responsible as a captain. Hawkins patted him on the shoulder with relief, "Even if you are removed, as long as you make war achievements, I will help you recover in the future." ”

Although the Knights are extraordinary legions, and individual force plays a large role, it is strange that they are more identified with the concept of comrades who live and die together, so both Snap and Elton are willing to use their lives to help Adair.

Herman shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "I am the captain, they are my team members, and I have the responsibility and obligation to take care of them." ”

Hawkins laughed and praised: "Well said, I really didn't misunderstand you." ”

After a few people chatted for a while, a herald suddenly appeared outside the camp tent and took Claire away, and Hawkins did not stop him.

Watching Claire walk through the tent and into the green spire, Herman asked curiously, "Squadron leader, what kind of building is that?" ”

With a look of awe, Hawkins said: "This is the legendary wizard tower, a super magic weapon that can fight against the realm wizards and sky knights, and it is precisely because of the existence of this spire that the high-ranking wizards and knights of Castlevania dare not make a move." ”

"Wizard Tower!" Everyone exclaimed, and they couldn't believe that the legendary transcendent building had appeared in front of their eyes like this.

Legend has it that the Wizard's Tower is a very powerful magical building, a place of shelter and inheritance built by the wizard's lifelong learning and savings, with which it can resist powerful enemies, the tower does not fall, and the wizard does not die.

Before today, rumors were just rumors, and after today, everyone finally saw the greatness of wizards.

"All right, the sorcerer's to the sorcerer, and the knight's to the knight. Our battlefield is outside the city walls, and the knights on the opposite side are our enemies. Hawkins clapped his hands to divert everyone's attention, "Barron, Herman, you two come with me." ”

The three of them passed through one camp after another, and because of the division of the troops, a large area was vacant, so that the total number of independent tents did not exceed four hundred, even with the officers.

Finally, the three of them came to the camp tent in the center and the tallest, not only the system was majestic, but there were also two rows of whirlpool knights guarding the door, they were not only guards, but also heralds.

Hawkins whispered to the two, "This is the captain's station, and it's also the war conference room of the Ninth Brigade. Captain Rex attaches great importance to the humility of the upper and lower, it stands to reason that Herman is not qualified to participate in this pre-war meeting, go in later and stand behind me, don't make a sound, don't look around, otherwise I won't care about you if you get into trouble, you know? ”

It can be seen that Hawkins intends to cultivate Herman, otherwise he would not have brought him to this kind of military meeting to brush his face. The people gathered in this tent are all officers and controllers of the Ninth Brigade, and it is very beneficial to be familiar here.

Herman was naturally grateful and nodded again and again.

He followed Hawkins step by step, and as soon as he entered, his ears were suddenly clear, so quiet that he could hear a pin drop on the ground.

There was no war sand table and a long table full of papers, and the knights sat on either side, the source knights sat around the earth knights, and the earth knights were surrounded by a burly, tall and majestic middle-aged knight in the center.

These people were like stone statues, no one spoke, and the scene was very silent and cold.

As soon as the three of them came in, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

These are the source knights and even the earth knights, the scrutinizing gaze of the strong man makes people very stressed, and Barron, who is usually not stingy, can't help but swallow his saliva nervously, and hide his body behind Hawkins, Herman can't help but clench his fists. Hawkins was accustomed to it, and after saluting Rex with two of them, he walked to the second row on the right and sat down, although there was one more, but the position was not crowded at all, because there were at least seven or eight squad leaders standing behind each squadron leader, and with him, there were only ten people behind Hawkins.

As soon as Herman sat down, the middle-aged knight at the top suddenly smiled and said, "Hawkins, why did you bring back two people after a trip, and my first squadron has expanded again?" ”

Although the other party laughed, Hawkins didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly got up and explained: "Back to Sir, the first squadron is still nine squads, and both of them are the captains of the eighth squad. ”

Rex smiled, "Oh? There are two captains in a squad! His gaze fell on the two of them, and Barron stiffened with nervousness.

Hawkins went on to explain: "Barron is the captain and Herman is the former captain. They had been stationed in Deciduous Castle, but Herman was dismissed from his post after the witches of Nightcity robbed him of the castle's supplies. The eighth team has just arrived, and the subordinates want to bring two people to meet the world, please don't blame them. Then he briefly explained the details.

"The Witch of Nighttown!" Rex sighed and said no more, his eyes filled with appreciation.

The rest of the officers are the same, because they have already known about the name of the enchanting witch in Night City through the battle report, although this force is small, but the means are extremely treacherous, these witches of the demon and martial arts double cultivation have caused great losses to the tenth team, Herman was able to retreat with the eighth team with his whole body, only a batch of materials were lost, I have to say that he is a talent.

After a moment of silence, Rex continued, "Let go of tomorrow's battle. Now let's focus on the news from the base camp of Roa - Clerk, you can tell me. After speaking, he leaned back and closed his eyes to recuperate.

The middle-aged clerk standing in the corner of the tent stepped forward and said to the officers: "The three dungeons sent strong men into the rear to destroy them a month ago, and within a month, seven castles were breached, and there were heavy casualties in materials and personnel. Half a month ago, the men and horses of Castlevania and Dark City joined forces to attack the supply team escorted by the personal guards of the three chiefs, not only burning all the grain and grass, but also snatching the magic ring from the hand of Adair's guard. The pro-guard team resisted desperately, not only all the members were killed, but the three chief guards were also seriously injured and dying, the power of the source was destroyed, and the casualties were heavy. ”

What?

The officers were in an uproar and shocked.

That's a high-level personal guard, the elite of the elite, not only requires hard power to be in the high-level source knight rank, but also must have combat merits to enter. In terms of the strength of the squad alone, even the strongest team in the entire legion can't be compared, not to mention that the captain of the pro-guard team is still a high-level guard officer, at least the strength of a high-level earth knight.

A squadron of this level is simply invincible in the sixteen brigades of the legion, and the earth knights who have condensed the power of the origin are the strongest among the strong, but they didn't expect to be destroyed by the Wanderers together, and the power of the dungeon should not be underestimated.

"And what about our supplies?" The officers suddenly realized this problem, and without the supply of power stones, the strength of the knights would be greatly limited.

Knight power is built on flesh and fighting spirit, both of which are extremely dependent on power stones.

The Order has always had regular supplies, so each brigade has limited supplies, and if they can't keep up, the already difficult battle will be even worse.

The clerk turned around and glanced at Rex, and seeing that the chief had no desire to speak, he continued: "There is no shortage of supplies in the base camp, but there is a lack of teams that can escort them. Although the other party also suffered heavy losses last time, Lord Schuherk asked us to send someone over to receive it in person, just in case. ”

"You want us to go?"

The officers looked puzzled, and Thomas, the second squadron leader opposite Hawkins, directly questioned: "How can you go away here?" Such a large batch of supplies, if it is not a pro-guard, an ordinary team will definitely need the strength of a squadron to escort it. Even if the brigade has more than doubled, we are facing the legion of an underground city-state, and the situation is already very difficult. ”

Hawkins and Chandler, the officer of the 3rd Squadron, also grimaced, and it was clear that they were under a lot of pressure on the frontal battlefield these days.

Chandler asked, "Can't the base camp be able to pull out people?" What about the other brigades? Isn't the Third Brigade in charge of the defense of the field, and it's always okay to transfer a squadron from them. ”

This question was obviously not something that the clerk could answer, Rex opened his eyes and replied: "The third brigade has other important tasks that cannot be taken away, Lord Lucson has written to explain that the current knights in the base camp are not enough to take on the heavy responsibility, so they asked us to go back to receive it in person." The same goes for the 10th and 11th brigades, so we have nothing to complain about. ”

The three of them were speechless for a moment.

After a moment of silence, Thomas asked again, "Who should I send?" I see that Hawkins's team suffered heavy casualties some time ago, how about letting him rest and recuperate? ”

Seeing that Rex was a little moved, Hawkins hurriedly retorted: "No need, with Herman and them joining, they can handle it on the battlefield." Haven't you been complaining that the offensive in the central position is the strongest, you go to receive supplies, and our first squadron is on top. ”

"Hmph, you don't have to, your squadron is weak, I'm taking care of you." Thomas said hypocritically.

Chandler also said at the right time: "Captain, I think Thomas is right. ”

Everyone is not stupid, now a squadron is almost equivalent to a brigade, even if one squadron is drawn, the remaining squadrons will have to follow the other squadrons to the battlefield. And on the frontal battlefield, the knight team without the care of the Earth Knight will end up miserable, not to mention the escort of power stones and magic potions, and the ones who are drawn are all elites. At such a time, most of the elite are withdrawn, and the fate of the rest of the squadron can be imagined.

Therefore, if any squadron takes on this task, then they will wait to come back and rebuild the team.

It was the three captains who went toe-for-tat, each not giving in, and they didn't want to take over this hot potato.

The three of them quarreled and the scene was full of gunpowder, and Herman realized that even if it was the same brigade, the different squadrons were not so harmonious, and it was full of open and secret battles.
