Chapter 138, Arrival
After crossing the river, you will find the Bagru Ranch, which is vital to the Wizards, to the southeast by Danube and the Rhine, and to the west by the Anjou mines.
The wizard led the six regions, Herman only stayed in Anjou and Sagacony, and the rest of the Blue Line, Danube, Rhine and Bagru pastures did not have a chance to meet, when the team came to the castle to select newcomers, the original owner wanted to go to the three teams of Danuna, followed by the third team, these four teams are the best in terms of treatment and strength in addition to the two most mysterious teams of the Knights, but it is a pity that the original owner is inconspicuous among the vortex knights, and was finally selected by the seventh team and stayed in the Anjou mining area for a few years.
"How do you feel about revisiting the old place?" Pilsen groaned with a smile. Ever since he joined up with the Fourth Brigade, he has become more cheerful and talkative than before.
Herman knows that although he has not grown much in his fighting spirit, his strength is at least three points stronger. looked left and right, and made sure that there was no one around, so he whispered: "It's not a return to my hometown now, and you can ask when I become the captain." β
Pilsen laughed at amusement.
"What are you talking about, so happy?" Marcowis didn't know when he broke away from the large group and waited for the two of them in front.
"Let me introduce myself, Marc Weis, the captain of the personal guard of the fourth brigade captain Sylvester, and also the eldest disciple of the teacher."
The three horses were in parallel, and Herman hurriedly said: "Herman, a member of the eighth squad of the first squadron of the ninth brigade, it is a pleasure to meet you." β
"Not an officer?" Markvis glanced at the second-order demonic beast under his crotch and wondered. A master who can subdue a second-order demonic beast can't be an officer? He immediately looked at Pilson, "You're not going to be his captain, are you?" β
Pilson waved his hand and smiled: "This matter is a long story, although he is not an officer, but the whole team listens to him, and he is no different from an officer." Don't underestimate this guy, he has only been promoted to Source Knight for less than a year now, and even I can only be his punching bag when it comes to fighting. If you meet him in the big competition, you'd better be careful, don't think that you can sit back and relax if you are sixth. β
Marc Vis was startled, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Promoted three levels in a row within a year, so exaggerated?" Herman, what kind of containment method are you practicing? β
The speed at which knights level up is usually related to the Dou Qi Containment Method they are cultivating, the more advanced the Dou Qi Containment Method, the longer it will take to be promoted, and the source knights who cultivate the skin-level Dou Qi Containment Method often only take three years from the beginning to the peak, five years at the bone level, seven years at the visceral level, and a long thirteen years at the cell level. Of course, what we are talking about here is the normal situation of only using energy stones to cultivate, such as Herman, who swallows potions and absorbs high-level Warcraft crystal nucleus energy stones to shorten the cultivation time, after all, not everyone can swallow a fourth-order Warcraft crystal nucleus to die.
Herman said: "Haggs's vindictive containment method. β
"Visceral levelβwhat a demon." Markwis sighed, the path of others who have completed it in one year and seven years is simply terrifying, if he knew that the Haggs Fighting Qi Containment Method had been improved by the goddess to a cell-level exercise, he would only be even more shocked, and asked curiously, "You can't be the descendant of a mentor or a legion leader, right?" β
Herman waved his hand and said, "It's a joke." The reason why I have been able to rise through the ranks is because of Daniel's potions. β
"It turned out to be him." Marcvis naturally didn't believe that a fifth-level pharmacist alone could make a knight who had cultivated the viscera-level Douqi Containment Method be promoted to three levels in a year, but since Herman didn't want to say it explicitly, he couldn't delve into it, and said with a smile, "Since you are participating in the big competition for the first time, strive to get a good ranking, after all, only the high-level source knight who broke through that year can enjoy the superimposed rewards, the higher the ranking, the more generous the reward, this is the only two opportunities in this life, if you miss this time, you will have to wait to participate in the Morning Star List to enjoy this privilege, However, the rank gap between the Earth Knights is not comparable to the Source Knights, even if the gap is only a small rank, the difference in strength is more than ten times. β
"And that kind of statement?" Herman looked at PlzeΕ in surprise. I saw the other party nodding and saying, "Hmm." β
Herman nodded solemnly and said, "Thanks for the reminder." By the way, Mark, are you the sixth master on the Dawn list? β
Markwis nodded and smiled: "It's just that I've been cultivating for a few more years than you, so I'm not a master." By the time you reach our age, you'll probably be a knight of the earth. β
"How can the Earth Knight be so successful, I'm just lucky, but I'm not a true genius like the leader and Lord Kelvin." Herman said modestly, and then asked, "How many of your fourth teams are on the list?" He saw that Sylvester had brought nearly twenty men.
Markwis said: "Not much, only seven people, all of them are hanging in the middle of the 100 list, and the others are just coming to the castle to see the world and do private business." is not as good as the third team of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the top ten alone accounts for three seats, and there are eleven people on the list, and the rankings are not low. β
Herman couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, good guy, there are only a hundred places in the Dawn List in total, and the first two teams alone account for nearly twenty people, and the remaining twelve teams can only grab less than eighty places, and the knights are really the higher the sequence, the stronger the strength. Only then did he realize how talented Hawkins was to be able to kill from the third team of the strong.
Seeing that he was curious, Marc Weiss briefly introduced the top twenty seats of the previous session, these twenty seats were basically occupied by the masters of the third to sixth teams, and only one Roderick in the seventh team barely entered the top twenty, which belonged to the existence of the tail of the crane, which was terrifying.
As for the top three representing the highest combat power of the source knight rank, not only is their strength amazing, but their backgrounds are also stronger than the other, and they are simply not human. After listening to it, he couldn't help but sigh that no matter which world it is, the starting point is very important.
Mine No. 29, where the two brothers served that year, was in the westernmost part of the Anjou region, dozens of miles away was the Dark Mountains, and he would not have passed through it on his way back, otherwise he would have wanted to go back and see his former comrades.
History shows that the gallop in the territory is crucial to the entire wizarding society, so even if it is an auxiliary road, special personnel are arranged along the way to maintain it, and at the same time, a supply point is set up every other section of the road to ensure that passing knights and war horses can be supplied, of course, the main thing is to facilitate the feeding of horses.
Therefore, no matter the severe cold, scorching heat, scorching sun and heavy rain, the knights can navigate this road unimpeded and reach their destination as quickly as possible.
The large army passed through hundreds of supply points along the way, each three hundred miles apart, but they basically had to walk thousands of miles before stopping to rest. A thousand miles is not the limit of the knights, but the limit of the Urpe war horses, although these horses are all good horses with good blood and good endurance, they are never magical beasts, they cannot run thousands of miles like a moss lizard or a manticore-tailed tiger unscathed, everything needs to rest, so every thousand miles the knights will rest at the supply point for a night before continuing to set off.
As they get closer and closer to Edmund Castle, the large army enters the "Path of Glory"
This main road is the widest and longest road of the wizarding realm, from Fort Edmund in the west to the border of the wizarding realm in the east, connecting thousands of galloping roads large and small, every time the knights have a big move or an important victory, the knights will pass through this road when they go out or triumph, so it is called the road of glory by everyone, usually even if someone wants to take this road, they will only go on both sides, deliberately leaving the middle empty. Because in the hearts of knights, only true heroes can go to the middle.
Of course, this time they came to compete on behalf of their own brigade, and of course they were the heroes of the brigade, and of course they were qualified to gallop on this road.
The team was mighty and raced all the way, and it took less than a week to reach the destination after crossing the river.
The huge statue of the ancient witch towered majestically in the sky, like the most powerful protector and most prominent symbol of the wizarding society, which could be clearly seen even from a hundred miles away. As soon as Herman's eyes came into contact with it, his heart was filled with awe. Because the goddess once said that this is a powerful elemental guardian spirit, a higher existence than the elemental incarnation.
A hundred miles into the castle, there were more sentinels patrolling, and Herman noticed that wherever there was a tree in the wilderness where there could be a foothold, there must be a crow with dark green fur perched on it. Herman hadn't cared about this before, but now he knew that these were the embodiment of the strange raven named Elder.
"Overseer." Herman muttered.
The huge Edmund Castle can be roughly divided into two parts, one is the main fort on the cliff, the towering five-story minaret is the main body of this huge complex, and the whole castle can only be crushed by the huge witch statue standing above the city gate, the minaret has broken away from the cliff, basically hanging in the air, covering the vast Red River, even if you stand on the edge of the cliff, you can't see the steep cliff and the wide river below, only hear the rumbling below, like thunder. With the majestic minaret as the center, the Gothic buildings of high and low are lined up one after another, stretching out in all directions, and the complex is so wide that it almost connects the other side of the cliff, but considering that the opposite bank is the territory of Pale Eyes, it is still ten meters away. This part belongs to the territory of wizards, and the lives and cultivation of wizards and wizard apprentices are here.
The other part is deep in the mountains. Next to Edmund Castle is a tall mountain range, geographically part of the Dark Mountains, but dozens of miles away from the Abandoned Lands, which the wizards have cleaned up for thousands of years. It is worth mentioning that the Red River originates in the Dark Mountains, and in this section it is an underground river, and Fort Edmund is just above the outlet of the underground river. The wizards would choose to settle here, and the knights would not be too far away, so they simply sent a strong man to hollow out the mountain and place the garrison inside. The Knights' treasure vaults, vaults, and camps are all in it. As for the reservists, they were not yet qualified to enter the castle, and were placed in a town ten miles away, under the care of servants sent by the five major families.
The passage in the mountain is high and wide, and it is completely suitable for running horses. There is no sense of oppression in the cave at all, it can be described as a cave, it is worthy of being the lair of the knights, the training ground. The living quarters, the barracks and even the military prostitutes were an eye-opener for him. As more and more strong people returned, a small character like Herman naturally didn't dare to run around casually, and after placing the manticore-tailed tiger, he could only stay in the camp of the brigade and cultivate honestly.
Each brigade has its own barracks, and low-level officers like them naturally do not have a single room, and sleep in bunks as usual. Plzen was taken away by the 4th Squadron, leaving him alone with the men of the other two squadrons.
The first squadron was not treated by the other two squadrons, plus Hawkins's words that day, the knights of the second and third squadrons hated Herman and the two even more, and those people often ridiculed him casually, wanting him to make a first move, and then take the opportunity to give him a ruthless shot, but how could Herman take these people's words to heart, just as they were farting.
The Order strictly forbids private brawls, only public challenges are allowed, and violators are severely punished, so as long as he doesn't act rashly, others can't do anything about him.
However, this also made the other two squadrons naturally put the name of shrunken turtle and coward on him.
