Chapter 137, goodbye
Fort Edmund is the westernmost point of the entire wizarding realm, above the Red River, and dozens of miles away is the Dark Mountains.
"In the old calendar, this was a fief of the nobility of the ancient empire, and Fort Edmund was tasked with monitoring the Dark Mountains and suppressing the demonic beasts of the Dark Mountains. When that ancient empire dies and the first leader leads people to occupy the castle to establish the Night Feather Wizarding Society, this responsibility falls to the Wizarding Society, which is also one of the conditions for the Elemental Wind Holy See to agree to the Wizarding Society's foothold, and no magical beasts are allowed to enter the several kingdoms in the east to harm humanity. β
When a group of people were particularly bored traveling in the cold, Hawkins stopped by and chatted with Herman about the history of the Wizarding Society. Ever since that incident, he hadn't gotten to the three of Rex, and Rex didn't care about it as if Hawkins didn't exist. In his opinion, no matter how talented Hawkins is, no matter how unconvinced, he has to obey the orders of his direct superior.
"The wizarding societies on the continent are basically established in various dangerous areas, responsible for guarding the frontiers for the human kingdoms and empires, although it is a bit embarrassing to say, but who let the four major sects be the bosses of this world? Under the fence, that's it. Hawkins chuckled nonchalantly.
Herman and PlzeΕ heard what the other party meant, and did not dare to answer.
The team traveled westward and soon encountered other teams. The 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th teams, four teams of more than 100 knights came from the north. The Tenth and Eleventh Brigades were naturally the opponents of the Night Witches, while the Twelfth and Thirteenth Brigades were the teams stationed on the northern border, and on the other side of the border was the territory of the Pale Eyes Wizarding Society, where the elite divisions were also stationed.
The Knights had sixteen teams, and there were originally only two teams on the north bank of the Red River, the Twelfth and Thirteenth Teams, which were stationed along the border of the two wizarding orders, and since the appearance of the Space Gate last year, the Knights had transferred the ninth, tenth, and eleventh teams from the border of the Dark Mountains and the Blue Line. Now that Sagagene had gathered a third of the Knights' strength, if it weren't for the fact that the three dungeons had invaded the wizard realm, the Pale Eyes would have thought that Night Feather wanted to go to war with them.
Five brigades gathered together, and the number of high-level source knights was almost close to a standard brigade, this kind of scene was simply terrifying. A high-level source knight in the outside world is already rare to see, and everywhere he goes, he is a human being, but here, they are low-key and obedient like quails, all because their commander is a more powerful earth knight.
This is also the first time Herman has seen more than twenty earth knights with his own eyes, among these people, a strong man who can get a duke title in the kingdom can be pulled out at random, there are only a handful of earth knights in the kingdom of Tasylvania, but in the small Sagacony, there are so many gathered, and this is not all the family of the knights, on the south bank of the Red River, there are still more than fifty earth knights with a larger team rushing to Edmund Castle.
This is the wizarding world, this is the world of the strong!
The thought came to Herman, and Herman couldn't help but yearn for itβhow long would it take him to become one of the mighty?
The team stopped at the base camp of Roy and rested for the night before being led by Anthony Oaker across the river to Edmund Castle.
The team was even larger, because the personal guards of the three commanders also had close to ten strong men participating in the battle, and all of them were not weaker than Morey.
The surface of the Red River is more than two miles wide, and it does not freeze in such extreme weather, but the river surface is covered with a layer of light white mist, which is very ethereal. From a distance, it looks like a great wall of fog stretching from east to west, blocking the north and south shores.
For strategic reasons, the Wizards did not build bridges over the river, but only built pier ferries and used boats to transport people and supplies.
"The distance from Sagagne to Fort Edmund is the defense line of the 14th and 15th Brigades, and on the opposite bank is the mines of Pale Eyes, where all the elites of the Immortal Knights are stationed, and this area is equivalent to the Danube and the Anjou mining area to our Wizards' Society, so both sides have deployed a large number of troops along the coast, and have also built large docks upstream and downstream, and once the situation changes, a large number of men and horses will immediately come to support by boat."
Pilson, explaining why Red River didn't build the bridge, said, "Hehe, but the pale eyes should be more nervous than we are." β
Herman wondered, "Why?" β
Pilsen said with a smile: "Because there is at least a defensive distance from the Anjou mining area to the south bank, but there is only a few tens of meters from the Pale Eyes mining area to the north bank, as long as they can cross the river, they will suffer immediately, don't think about the defensive formation or anything, when you encounter the enemy, you can only fight hand-to-hand, and the advantage of the cavalry cannot be brought into play at all." If it weren't for the Red River Valley below Fort Edmund, I guess Pale Eyes would have moved the nest to the north bank to confront it across the river...... Don't look at it, their mines are still dozens of miles away from here, and you'll see their sentinels here at most. β
Herman withdrew his curious gaze.
By this time, the commanders had already boarded the boat and crossed the river, and the source knights began to board the boat. In the crowd where most of the people were Urpe thoroughbred horses as mounts, Herman's manticore-tailed tiger caused a lot of commotion, and some people even asked him if he would sell his mounts, but he decisively refused. Just kidding, this head is not only a mount, but also a thug whose strength is not weaker than him, how can it be sold at a critical moment?
Pilson gloated: "It seems that many people are interested in your manticore, you are probably busy when you go to Fort Edmund, and you have already said that you should not bring it over, and you are not allowed to use your mount in the big competition." β
Herman also looked helpless, an excellent demonic beast mount has an irresistible attraction to the knight, and there will definitely be many people to entangle at that time, he said helplessly: "Of course I know that this will be the case, but I have a serious reason to bring it this time, and I want Daniel to equip it with some potions to promote its evolution." This guy is very talented, and if he can be promoted, it will help me a lot. β
The scene of the third-order tiger king on the Black Dragon Mountain killing nine source knights in seconds is still vivid, and in the battle of Devil's Ridge, the performance of this manticore-tailed tiger is also very eye-catching, and of course Herman will continue to cultivate it.
"I see." Pilsen stopped nagging after listening.
Suddenly, Herman noticed that Pilsen was shocked, and when he got off the boat, he stopped moving, as motionless as a stone statue.
"What's wrong?"
Following Pilson's gaze, he found that not far from the riverbank there was a group of knights standing quietly under the birch trees by the river, because the banks belonged to different wizards, the trees on both sides of the river were cut down, and only the ferry port still had a bare old tree on the empty riverbank, and they passed through the white fog, got off the boat, and could see the knights standing under the trees at a glance.
The leader was a middle-aged knight, his face was not handsome, but his expression was very indifferent, but when his gaze came, the same indifference as ice and snow dissipated slightly, and then he snorted coldly and looked away.
He seemed to have a lot of status, and even the group of earth knights who crossed the river early did not dare to ignore him, and obediently went over to say hello, and the scene was like the officers of the first squadron seeing Hawkins.
I'll go, it's so majestic.
Herman poked the petrified Pilson and said thoughtfully, "This is your teacher?" β
Pilson came back to his senses, nodded, smiled bitterly, and said, "Hmm." β
"Then why don't you hurry up and say hello! Danube is at the southernmost point of the wizard's territory, you don't have to go through here to get to Fort Edmund, your teacher has traveled so far to see the scenery. "Herman doesn't have a good airway.
There are two routes from Danube to Fort Edmund, either by way through central Anjou directly to Fort Edmund, or by boat up the river to the outskirts of the Red River Valley.
However, the situation in the upper reaches of the Red River has always been tense, and the Knights will not easily mobilize ships to provoke their neighbors, and the officers of the Knights on the south bank basically travel by galloping, and Pilsen can make the helmsman of the Fourth Brigade travel thousands of miles, and it seems that he has a high status in the hearts of the other party.
Pilson took a deep breath, rolled over and dismounted, leading the horse on foot. Seeing this, Herman also followed with the manticore.
"Teacher, long time no see, are you okay?" Pilson screamed worriedly, but the middle-aged knight ignored it and talked to the commanders on his own.
The Earth Knights are all human spirits, and after Pilson spoke, they all knew the identity of the person who came, consciously said goodbye to Sylvester, and continued to move forward with the team. Rex also smiled and said, "Herman, you and Plzen follow the team of the Fourth Brigade slowly, don't be in a hurry." β
Saying that, he left with his subordinates, Hawkins gave him a look and chased after him. In the blink of an eye, only the fourth brigade was left in the bustling ferry.
"What a fart, but you...... Willing to jump out of the cage? Sylvester was not in a good tone, and the joy he had felt before from seeing PlzeΕ was now gone.
"Teacher, I ......" Pilson was so ashamed that he couldn't even speak. In the past few years, he has really made the teacher worry too much.
Sylvester didn't look as indifferent as he appeared, and after sneering at his disciple, he couldn't bear to continue to stimulate Pilson, so he simply turned his head to look at the vast red river.
Yes, another hard-mouthed and soft-hearted one.
Herman pursed his lips, envious.
A knight behind Sylvester stepped forward and said with a smile, "It's good to be here." Pilson, come back after the big tournament. The second squadron of the first squadron has never had an officer, and I am all carrying it, and this year it has exhausted me. β
Pilson said, "Thanks, Mark. β
Marc Vis waved his hand and said, "Who called you my junior brother, who will not help you." He glanced at Sylvester and asked, "The knot is unraveled?" No more self-defeating? β
Pilson glanced at Herman gratefully, and then said firmly: "Since I have come, I will not dwell on the past failures and sink into the past, which will not benefit my cultivation, and will only disappoint the people who care about me." β
"Teacher, I'm sorry!" Pilsen said from the bottom of his heart.
Hearing this, the middle-aged knight's indifferent face softened slightly, turned his head to look at Pilsen, and saw that the disciple's eyes were firm, and he no longer avoided looking at him, his eyes softened, and he was slightly relieved, but he said: "I have only been out for a year and have become a mother-in-law, I should not have let you out." Just do as Mark says, and get back to me as soon as possible. β
With that, he turned to the knights behind him and ordered, "Go!" β
A group of knights continued to march towards the depths of the wizard's territory.
