Chapter 136: Ninghai's Army
Just as Hans was about to rest, Sheila found him.
Sheila looked at a tired Hans and said, "Are you alright?"
"I haven't noticed any side effects yet, and my body functions are much stronger than before. What are you holding in your hand?"
Sheila raised a thick book in her hand and said, "This is a magic book, which records some high-level magic, but many of them can only be achieved on a large magic array, so I want to try it now, can I use the magic array with the red wolf fire, can you accompany me?"
"Of course, it's fine, but I'll have to find something to eat first. β
When Hans was full, he regretted it a little. It turned out that Sheila needed to choose an open and safe place to test her magic, and Alpha chose a desolate Gobi area between Ninghai Kingdom and the Shadow Song Forest for her, starting from the Tree of Life, which would take an hour of continuous jumps to reach.
The so-called jump, of course, is the way to make Rena ask the frightened treeman to pass it. This allows Hans to enjoy the embrace of beauty while enjoying the tumbling of the river and the sea in his stomach.
Hans finally reached his destination with a tenacious will, but his face was paler than Sheila's, drawing the rolls of Bessie's eyes.
Sheila said: "Actually, I don't really understand, why is the Shadow Song Forest surrounded by either the desert or the Gobi, but as soon as you enter the Shadow Song Forest, it is full of life?"
Alpha said: "This is a characteristic of the Shadow Song Forest, which has a great ability to absorb nutrients from the land, resulting in insufficient nutrients from the nearby land to support the growth of other plants, and this can also be regarded as a kind of survival of the fittest." β
Sheila didn't ask any more questions, but walked over to the Gobi, placed the magic book on a stone, and turned one of the pages.
Hans suddenly said, "Why don't we check if there are any Ninghai sentinels near here first?"
Alpha said, "I'll go with Bessie, you're here with Sheila." With that, he flew outside with Bessie.
Hans walked up to Sheila and asked, "What magic are you going to test?"
"Summoning, it's like when we attacked Biston, when a magician summoned a leopard. It's the same as when Crane summoned Teacher Catherine when he was at the top of the Royal City of France. β
"What are you going to summon?"
"To summon, the first thing is to establish communication with the summoned object, I am not very proficient, and I dare not try to summon people, for fear that if something leaks and hurts people. But you can try to summon animals. β
Hans said, "I really don't know how to summon, can I summon him no matter how far away?
"Summoning is also affected by the amount of mana, the stronger the better, the more advantageous it is, it can summon things farther, bigger things, and most importantly, more stability. β
"Wait until I try it first. After Sheila finished speaking, she began to condense the magic array.
I saw Sheila move the magic circle to the ground in front of her, and then conjured a small door on top of the magic array, and then, a monkey came out of the door.
Even Hans recognized that this was the monkey with whom Sheila had the best relationship, the little monkey. That's the name Sheila gave to the animal anyway.
"Success?" said Hans, looking at him in surprise.
Sheila looked at the little monkey and was happy for a while, but she said, "This is the simplest summoning technique, the distance is close, and the target is small, so it's easier." But I've done my best, and I'm afraid I won't be able to create a larger magic circle with my red wolf fire, unless it's a large magic circle drawn on the ground in advance. Or you can try, you can get the magic circle, and then I'll summon it. β
"Okay, wait for me to see. Hans walked over and looked at the magic book, he hadn't been exposed to space magic before, so he didn't know anything about the magic array of summoning magic.
But when Hans saw it, he seemed to be fascinated. After a while, he said, "Are there any other spatial magic in this book?"
"From small summoning techniques to larger teleportation techniques, but teleportation consumes so much energy that even my mother can't use it. Multiple mages must cast the spell together and then teleport the target to another location, and the destination must also have a corresponding magic circle. β
After saying that, Sheila began to flip through the magic book and tell Hans about the various magic inside. This book contains a lot of advanced magic that is not commonly used, most of which are spiritual magic, space magic, and life magic.
The magic of the four elements is based on the pentagram, while the spiritual magic, life magic, and space magic are based on the six-pointed star, and the resulting combinations are much more complex and require a lot of energy.
Hans recalled that when Kernow was in the city of Fran, he instantly released a summoning magic, which seemed to be not an easy matter.
At this time, Hans was so engrossed in the magic book that he didn't remember to test his magic with Sheila.
......
At the same time, on the eastern coastline of Ninghai Kingdom, a tall castle was built in the middle of the mountain, overlooking the boundless sea. The castle stretches from the top of the hill to the sea, and the castle is larger than the city of FranΓ§aise. This is the city of Rist, the capital of Ninghai Kingdom.
On top of the main hall, Gabi stood beneath King Samson and told him about the Shadow Song Forest.
And beside Gabi, there are also Duke Galen, the head of the Ninghai Knights, and Prince Cadi.
Galen was originally the lord of the city of Lot, and the commander of the army that was preparing to attack France. It's just that when Gabi found him, he told Galen about the seriousness of the matter, and then the two of them came together to find the king.
After listening to Gabi's words, King Samson pondered for a long time, and no one under the throne dared to disturb the king's thoughts.
The king said, "Qadi, you can briefly describe the current army disposition. β
Cady said: "Originally, we planned to use ironclad warships to attack the Leo Fortress, and there were 5,000 guards prepared here, the Duke of Galen had 30,000 soldiers on his hands, and they were prepared to meet and invade France by land, and there were 20,000 soldiers in the confrontation between the Tafei Fortress and the Leo Fortress, 50,000 of the royal guards, and the rest were some scattered coastal defense soldiers, and the soldiers guarding the Huangsha River, a total of 30,000. This operation was originally intended to use the soldiers of the Duke of Galen, plus the Tafei fortress, and five thousand guards, for a total of fifty-five thousand men. β
The king said, "Gabi, how many soldiers do you need if I want you to guard the borders of the Shadow Song Forest?"
Gabi said: "The Shadow Song Forest has a vast border with our country, and it is very difficult to defend it completely, if I stay in Kaiting Town, and they enter Ninghai Country from other places and take Lott City directly, then it will be very dangerous. But if I hold Lot, and they occupy Kaiting Town, it will also cut off our important passages, which is equivalent to ceding the southern part of Ninghai Kingdom to them. A dilemma indeed. β
The king said, "What about Galen's opinion?"
Galen said: "There is no need to worry about Lot, I can lead 20,000 soldiers to attack the Leo fortress, plus the 20,000 soldiers of the Tafei fortress, and the 5,000 guards of the ironclad battleship, which is enough to take the fortress of Leo, so that I can leave 30,000 soldiers to defend the city of Lot." β
The king said, "Very well, Gabi, I will give you 50,000 defenders of the royal capital, and you will be responsible for guarding the passage between the town of Kaiting and the city of Lot, and you will not allow the French army to rush through this line." Leo's side of the barrier will do as Galen said. β
"Father," said Cadi, "if you do this, there will not be enough guards in the royal capital. β
The king said, "What is not enough, we are very safe here, and besides, don't I have another 5,000 guards? β
Gabi said, "Your Majesty, I want to use two people, one is Alendin, and the other is Sabina. β
The king said, "Elendin was supposed to partner with you, that's fine, but Sabina is the enchantment master who defends the royal capital, do you think it's really necessary to use her?"
Gabby said: "I have seen the strength of Hans and Sheila, Hans is a warrior, but he can use some skills with a wide range of attacks, I feel that it is a kind of dark magic, and Elendin can just fight against it." Sheila, on the other hand, is a magician with a staff of the Apocalypse, she is the daughter of Medea, a powerful magician who can do great damage to the army, and in order to prevent the soldiers from being damaged, Sabina's enchantment is needed to defend it. β
The king said, "Well, I'll give you these two, you should still have a lot of elite warriors in your hands, and don't let me down in this battle." β
Gabbi said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will accomplish my mission." β
