my age of magic

Chapter 1155. Enemy Tracks
This year's winter situation in Sluit Province is very different from previous years. The North Wind Legion has taken very tough measures against the barbarians who crossed the Benma River from the ice and snow tundra. The new legion commander Jing Yue. Like the previous commander of the North Wind Army, he ordered the army to stick to the south bank of the Baixiang River and the Benma River.

In the past, because this line of defense was too long, the North Wind Legion only guarded the line of defense between Sloit City and Xinghai City in previous years.

Among them, the vast area around El City and Ziqing Mountain City is located in the upper reaches of the Benma River, and the defense line of the North Wind Army does not involve here.

Duke Jingyue Eri ordered thirty Constructed Knights under his command to launch a small-scale encirclement and annihilation battle with the barbarians on the territory of Sloit Province, but the Thirty Constructed Knights entered the huge territory of Northern Province, It's like thirty fish swimming into a big swamp. Although good news came repeatedly, they still couldn't completely drive out the barbarians who entered the northern border. .

For those small bands of savages running around in the mountains, it is still only the self-organized hunting teams in various cities that are stubbornly resisting. Fighting, because of the city as a backing, these hunting teams are very flexible in the wild, each city has its own falcon team, maybe other cities are not called falcons, they have other famous names.

In Ayr, the Falcon is the city hero.

Of course, not every falcon team will gain something in the long winter. Hunting barbarians is a very risky activity, because even ordinary barbarian fighters are almost as powerful as first-rank fighters, and When the barbarians have the battle cry, they are even more courageous. Even the second-rank fighters of the Grimm Empire, it is difficult to say that they have full confidence in defeating the leader of a small group of barbarians.

Many falcon teams are like snowflakes in the sky, appearing in people's field of vision, falling into the fishing lake, and disappearing without a trace after that .Many falcons are so miserable that they can't even find their bodies in the end.

For fighters, falconry in the Northern Province is the most dangerous profession.

El City only has the Benma River as a barrier against the barbarians going south. In winter, after the river surface of the Benma River is frozen, the barbarians on the ice and snow tundra will bypass the Northwind Army's defense zone from here and enter the history. In the hinterland of Leut Province, plunder the men of Sluit Province and bring them back to the ice and snow tundra to serve as miners.

The previous barbarian slave catchers could still pursue a principle, that is, they would not wantonly kill women and old people, but only plunder grown men and boys.

Since the Storm Bear tribe in the extreme north of the ice and snow tundra occupied the vast territory of the Celtic tribe, they have not been so gentle with the imperial people in Sluit Province. They have the habit of eating people, or you can say: these , Of course, when they are hungry, as long as they are not companions, they will eat almost anything.

People in the north do not regret that they drove [-] young Celtic barbarian warriors into the Galloping Horse River to drown in the summer four years ago, but for the Storm Bear who replaced the Celtic barbarians Tribal barbarians are more hostile.

In the past two years, the falcons in El City have discovered that the barbarians of the Storm Bear tribe are more impulsive and irritable. Many falcons like to lure the barbarians to the Antioch Mountains, and take advantage of the complex terrain to lure the barbarians into the ambush circle. into the trap and kill it.

In the winter three years ago, the barbarians of the Storm Bear tribe besieged the city for several months, but failed to capture the city of El. Therefore, in the past two winters, they have not been able to muster up the courage to try to attack the fortification of the city of El again. The city walls, so the barbarians near the city of El are mainly concentrated in two areas, one area is the Antiya Mountains, and the other area is the fishing lake and the large apple orchards on the surrounding hills.

In fact, according to my idea, I prefer to go to the mountainous area of ​​Antiya with complex terrain. We are used to dealing with barbarians there, but Kalancuo suggested that I go around the fishing lake. The reason is very simple. There are new members joining, Katerina and Deborah.

For an assassin fighter like Katerina, there is no obvious difference between woods and mountains, but for Deborah, the hilly area with a wider view is more suitable for her to do pre-battle reconnaissance, so I chose the hunting location this time. In the area around the fishing lake.

……

A group of us walked out of the shanty town outside the city.

Deborah was wearing a set of tight leather armor made of wind snake leather, and was shivering in the cold wind. She stared at Kalancuo pitifully with her big eyes.

When making this set of tight leather armor, there were also considerations of keeping out the cold, but this girl believed what Ella said, in order to show the exquisite curve of the body, the sleeves of the tight leather armor were completely cut off, and the neckline was also enlarged. In the style of a 'V' cardigan, she cut off all the fabric below the knees of a good pair of tight leather pants.

She didn't even have a pair of decent thick leather boots, so she could only stand barefoot on the snow, wrapping her body tightly with one of her wings to protect against the severe cold.

As a harpy, Deborah is not afraid of the cold.

The pure white feathers on her wings give her the ability to resist the cold wind, but the problem is that the other half of her wings belong to the body of the succubus. For the succubus, her body has the power of black flames, so the succubus She herself is not afraid of the cold, but Deborah belongs to a harpy. Even if she awakens the blood talent in her body, she can only master some elementary wind skills such as 'Wind Control' and 'Wind Blade'. Department of magic.

At the beginning, I took Deborah to find Schindeki University. In order to save Deborah, Schindeki University replaced her body with a succubus from the head down. In this way, although she has a devil-like figure , but lost her fair skin and a few tail feathers, and replaced it with a dark gray skin, smooth and delicate, making her look like a beautiful black pearl.

Deborah hadn't awakened Mo Mei's 'Power of Black Flame' bloodline talent, which made her turn blue from the cold after standing in the cold wind for a while.

Kalancuo glanced at Deborah, then put his leather cloak on Deborah's body, and glanced at me again. I knew the meaning of Kalancuo's eyes, so I took out a pair of long leather cloaks from the magic pocket. Here you go, throw it to Deborah.

These boots were supposed to be a spare pair of mine, and now they are only temporary for Deborah.

Deborah quickly put the boots on her feet, still looking very cold.

Kalancuo raised his head and just saw a black crow passing by from a high altitude, so he stretched out his hand and rubbed Deborah's fair face, and said to her, "Maybe it won't be so cold when you fly."

Seeing a piece of fine snow foam blowing from the top of the city, Deborah shook her head desperately. She likes to hide behind Kalantso like little Ella.

The physique of the Tauren family on the Pai Plateau is different from ordinary people, so the Tauren Luka is not very afraid of the cold.

In El City, even on the coldest days of the year, Luka could lie down and sleep in the snow without incident wearing only a thin layer of leather armor. A barbarian, Luka carefully put on the full-cover magic pattern fine gold armor. The magic pattern on the metal armor exudes a faint luster, which makes the tauren Luka look full of momentum.

Katerina was wearing a Yalong light leather armor magic pattern suit, covered with a single piece of 'Earth Shield' magic pattern structure and emperor squid leather armor battle skirt, standing side by side in the cold wind with Kalancuo.

Kalancuo put on the Spider Warlord's hard leather armor. The joints of the black hard leather armor were covered with thorns like thorns. A female swordsman in Narvana.

Wearing the 'Wrath of the Earth' magic pattern outfit given to me by the Yerkes scholar, it's like red lava flowing along the magic pattern on the leather armor. The faint magic halo made me feel slightly hot. It seems that winter is not so cold. The set of 'Wrath of the Earth' has three very unique magic effects. The first one is specially designed for me by Yerkes Scholar. The attributes of all aura magic effects are enhanced. .

The four series of stone drum totems are constantly rotating around my waist, and the two magical auras of "Wind Run" and "Petrochemical Skin" quickly spread over everyone in the team, and when I have this magic pattern structure, I found that the 'mana recovery' effect that the 'blue crystal stone drum totem' brought me also works on everyone in the team.

Although Kalancuo, Katerina, and Tauren Luka do not have a magic pool, they cannot store the magic elements absorbed by 'mana recovery', but another feeling that 'mana recovery' gives me is that it can be applied to magic lines In terms of the mana consumption of the construction, 'mana recovery' can reduce the mana absorption of the magic spar on the gemstone base by the magic pattern construction, and prolong the use time of the magic spar.

The four of us are all costumes of constructed warriors. Only Deborah, who has two wings, does not have a decent magic pattern structure. After she cut off the sleeves of the tight armor, she also destroyed the magic pattern circle on the leather armor.

Walking out of this poor shanty town outside the city, we came to the main road at the gate of El City. This road is not far to the west and connects to the commercial road leading to the Pai Plateau, and to the east is to the city of Sloit. the main road.

During the recent period, no traces of barbarians have been found around the city of El. Some homeless people hiding in the city will also take the opportunity to go to the snow outside the city of El to collect some food and firewood. The scouts from the Knights of the Guard Battalion They will also take advantage of this time to go out of the city to investigate the movements of the barbarians in the mountains outside the city. There are also some adventure groups, demon hunters and falcon squads who will go out of the city to hunt the barbarians while the weather is good.

The four of us headed towards the fishing lake area on skis, and saw several falcon squads along the way, but the equipment on these falcon squads was much worse than the four of us. Magic pattern structure, they don't have a complete set of magic pattern structure like us, so their eyes fell on us with a look of envy.

Deborah didn't spread her wings to fly. She lay on Kalancuo's back obediently like a kitten, showing only a pure face. She breathed out a cloud of white water vapor against the wind and snow, The water vapor quickly dissipated in the wind, and the long silver hair on her head fluttered with the wind. She was wearing a leather cloak, perhaps because she was lying on Kalantso's back, or because she had adapted to the surrounding environment, her complexion had recovered , No longer shivering in the cold wind.

When the shadows of the guards on the walls of El City have become blurred, we will not continue along the main road, just as we are hunting the barbarians, these barbarians on the ice and snow tundra are also hunting us, and they will be careful Landed in ambush on some major roads, intercepting passing pedestrians.

Although we now have the strength to face a small group of barbarians head-on, I still don't want to confront the barbarians so recklessly. After much deliberation, it is safer to use ice magic to trap them.

Leaving the main road, the mountains and plains are covered by heavy snow. Even with skis, it is still not easy for us to walk. Many times when going uphill, we still need to carry the skis and climb with our legs. Every step we take, Both feet are stepping on the snow that is no bigger than the thighs, and every step requires great physical strength.

I regret it a little, maybe I should have prepared a sled.

Entering the vast countryside, I don't know how many falcon teams there are in the Yuhu Lake area, but the area of ​​Yuhu Lake is still too big. The whole lake is as vast as tens of square kilometers, and one team and another can be separated from each other. If you meet in the mountains, it is considered great luck.

Deborah has been driven to the sky by Kalantso. At first she was a little afraid of the cold. She was worried that her hands and feet would be frozen and she would fall from the sky after taking off her cloak. But since she flew for the first time, Deborah She has been challenging new flying heights. She flies very high. There is no such restriction as Xinliu Valley here. Xinliu Valley belongs to the floating mountain range. It is a broken and incomplete small world. Once flying too high there It will also touch the world's edge of Xinwillow Valley.

Flying seems to be a very exhausting thing, so it can generate a lot of heat, which is enough for her to keep out the cold. Deborah is flying in the air, without her whining and complaining, the team immediately becomes much quieter.

I warned Deborah not to fly too low, for fear that the savages on the ground would hurl spears and kill her.

One of her dark flesh wings and one white wing have a sharp contrast in the air. In the sky, Deborah has a very wide field of vision. Her eyesight also inherits the characteristics of the harpies, and she can see several A wind wolf running on the ground kilometers away.

Not long after, Deborah flew back from a distance, and saw her circle above our heads three times, and then flew straight in one direction.

This is the code we set down, which means that Deborah found the target in the air, and it is only three hills away from us. The length of a gentle slope hill with a height of several hundred meters can stretch for several kilometers. Three hills Added together, it means that the target is more than ten kilometers away.

Kalantso and I looked at each other, and Luka lifted me up on his shoulders involuntarily, then put my skis and his skis together, put them on the other shoulder, and ran towards the top of the hill with big strides .

Kalancuo even took the lead in gliding ahead. She is a strong fighter, and it is no problem to slide uphill on a ski and rely on a hand pole.

Katerina's skiing skills are still very average now. She can slide on the streets of the imperial city without any problem, but it is not good enough in the complex terrain of the mountains, so she also learned from Luka, carrying her skis and following behind Luka. , ran hard to the top of the hill slope.

When we run to the top of the hilly slope, we dive down on our skis, and we will experience a thrill that the wind can't catch up with.

Deborah in the sky has flown to only a little black speck, and she is hovering high in the sky ahead.

We climbed two hills in a row. When we climbed to the top of the third hill, Kalancuo fell down in the snow all of a sudden, followed by Luka, who didn't even reach the top of the hill, and took me off his shoulders. After putting it down, we sat down on the snowy ground on the back slope, panting to recover our strength, and Katerina and I bent over and ran to Kalantso, squatting behind a chestnut tree on the top of the hilly land , looked down the slope with her...
