my age of magic

Chapter 721 221. Hunting Life in the Black Forest

"Earl Horace is still trapped in Trume's stronghold!" Knight Disraeli's forehead became wet, and his soft hair was sticking to his forehead. He was a little embarrassed, his face was pale, and he didn't know what happened Because of the cold, or because I heard bad news.

I took a sip of the warm soup, and quietly listened to Knight Disraeli reveal his identity. Before that, he was just the captain of a hundred-man squadron of a heavy armored infantry regiment, the Marquis of Armand. His personal guard was ordered to protect Horace, the son of Lord Marquis Armand.

Only then did I realize that the chief officer stationed in Tanton City was not the Grand Duke of Samoyed, but his second son, the Marquis of Armand.

I swallowed the lamb chops in my mouth, took a sip of the thick soup, and then raised my head, thinking: this Marquis of Armand is stationed in Tanton City at the moment, and I don't know how I will feel.

I put down the silver spoon, slightly raised my eyebrows, and asked Knight Disraeli: "So, the consul in Tanton is now the Marquis of Armand?"

Knight Disraeli wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth, sat up straight, and then said: "That's right."

He is a knight who has been educated in traditional aristocratic etiquette, and he is a bit old-fashioned. Every time he speaks, he will sit up straight, put his posture in a very correct manner, and then speak.

I was thinking, since the consul of Tanton City is the Marquess of Armand, why did he send Horace out to take risks?Wasn't Horace his own son?

So I asked: "But why is Lord Horace trapped in the Trume stronghold?"

Knight Disraeli went on to say: "Our heavy armored infantry regiment was ordered to follow Lord Horace to inspect the defenses of various outposts and strongholds on the defense line east of Tanton City..."

He hesitated for a moment, obviously in his heart, he was somewhat dissatisfied with the Earl of Horace.

He went on to say: "In fact, after Lord Horace arrived at the Trume stronghold, he was unwilling to continue patrolling. The plains of the forest look south for signs of spider warriors."

Disraeli's words made me frown. It turned out that the earl directly dismantled an army protecting him and sent them out to complete their respective tasks. It was extremely stupid.

Seeing me lost in thought, Knight Disraeli added, "Horace thinks there are some spider-men lurking in the mountains east of Trume."

Apparently Knight Disraeli was full of complaints about Earl Horace, and he continued: "Master Horace completely disbanded our heavy armored infantry regiment of 500 soldiers, leaving only [-] men in the army. Trumu stronghold, the remaining [-] soldiers are divided into five infantry regiments and continue to check the armament situation along the east of Trumu Mountain and along the stronghold arranged by the Duke of Samoyed."

He spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders helplessly, looking a little speechless, and then said: "Facts have proved that Mr. Horace's judgment is wrong. In the mountainous area, there are only some aborigines from the Hierro plane, and There are not many of them, they are some hunters who live in the deep mountains all the year round, when they met us, they all fled into the mountains."

In the end, Disraeli put his hand on his forehead, showing a trace of exhaustion, and said: "We have just come out of the mountainous area east of Trume, and we have checked the fifteen outposts along the mountainous area along the way, and found no spiders. traces of people."

When he heard that Tanton City was also surrounded by a large army of spidermen, Knight Disraeli's expression became even worse.

He lowered his head and thought for a long time, then looked up at me, and said with a serious expression: "Mage Jijia, I have decided to return to the mountains east of Trum!"

"Oh?" She looked at him suspiciously.

I don't think he is a person who would evade responsibility and be timid and afraid of death.

Knight Disraeli stared at me, and said: "I'm going to find other heavy infantry squads, I want to get them back as soon as possible, now Trume and Tanton City need us! But before that I Need your help."

I looked at him in surprise: "That's a good idea, what do you need me to do?"

Disraeli seemed a little hard to say, but at the last moment, he said it out: "I want you to help me take care of some of my infantry regiments. They are all injured and need some time to recuperate."

I thought to myself: It really looks like a big trouble.

I don't like the soldiers of the heavy armored infantry regiment. They look no different from ordinary farmers. I can't see the tenacious fighting will in them. Similarly, I am not a qualified babysitter. I don't know how to take care of them. Man, I think I should say no to his request.

So, I asked the Disraeli knight lightly: "You want to go into the mountains alone to find those infantry regiments?"

Seeing that I didn't answer his topic, he couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes. His Adam's apple twitched twice, and finally swallowed those words back into his stomach, shaking his head silently.

...I thought maybe I shouldn't turn him down.

At this time, after drying the wet leather armor, the orc warriors were not in a hurry to sleep. They actually walked towards the heavy armored infantry camp spontaneously. Did the soldiers of the First Infantry Regiment have some friction, so they stood up from the table.

Cavalier Disraeli noticed this too, and he seemed even more nervous than I was.

The two of us hurried to the camp of the heavy armored infantry. When we arrived at the camp of the heavy armored infantry, we found a very touching scene. Soldiers of the Corps tended and bandaged the wounds.

Looking at the way those clumsy orc warriors bandaged their wounds, they suddenly found that they seemed to get along very harmoniously.

The soldiers of the heavy armored infantry regiment who were wearing heavy armor and were soaked by the rain looked very poor. Although they had a steaming meal, they still needed a dry bed and a good rest. Get some sleep.

Sighing softly, a cloud of light blue water elemental magic appeared on my fingertips, and an extremely simple magic circle appeared in front of me, and then I looked at the ground in front of me. The heavy armored infantry soldier who was lying on the ground said lightly: "It will hurt, bear with it!"

The heavily armored soldier lying on the ground looked at me in surprise, and suddenly a magical light full of water vapor fell on him.

"Spa"!
His face became ugly due to the pain, but he held on without saying a word. His wound will continue to hurt for a long time. Recently, I found that the magic effect of my hydrotherapy has become much stronger than before, and the wound healed quickly. It is faster, and there is a new magic effect 'nourishing'.

This is the second lord halo of the world tree in Xinliu Valley. He gave me the healing effect of the lord halo. Now it seems that this healing effect is very practical.The soldiers of these heavy armored infantry regiments should be familiar with these healing magics, their eyes were burning, and the wounded on the side also showed some anticipation.

It can be seen that they seem to respect me, and they didn't make any painful sounds because of the severe pain caused by the magic healing power, probably because they were afraid of affecting my mood when casting spells.

While I was healing these armored warriors, I said to the Disraeli Knights: "Some of them are badly wounded. There are spider people everywhere. I'm not sure I can take care of them. I need them to run fast." Soon, at least keep up with our marching speed, you can't run wearing such heavy armor!"

The Disraeli knight said without hesitation: "I can make them throw away the heavy armor. They are a group of great lads. They fight very bravely and run very fast. They have good physique. We usually train very well. Strictly speaking, it's just that I lack leadership skills and have no combat experience, and the defeat in that battle yesterday is the fault of me!"

I said to an orc warrior, "I'm helping them build some fires, or the wet and cold weather alone will kill them!"

Without further ado, the orc warrior brought a pile of wood, then took out a magic scroll from his backpack, unfolded it very skillfully, and with a shake of the wind, the scroll began to emit a raging flame, and then the orc The warrior quickly spread the burning magic scroll on the ground, and then he put the wood on the scroll, and the flames from the magic scroll quickly ignited the wood.

"Do you usually make fire like this?" Knight Disraeli asked the orc warrior in surprise.

The orc warrior seemed a little dazed, and replied in an unproficient Imperial language: "What else can I do? In such a rainy day, the wood is wet."

The words of the orc warrior made Knight Disraeli shut up immediately.

Turning around, Knight Disraeli said to me again: "I want to choose a few smarter boys to go with me. The journey must be very dangerous. If they stay here, they may survive."

"Maybe before we find those companions, we will meet those Nebulu spidermen, and there will be fierce battles. We can't run away from those spidermen at all. They can run faster than knights." Knight Disraeli's eyes were full of worry. He said that his will seemed a little depressed.

I don't know whether it was due to impulse, pity, or some other factors, I said to Knight Disraeli: "Well, I promise you that I will try my best to take care of these soldiers until you return safely. "

Just like that, Knight Disraeli took the five longbowmen who were only slightly injured and left the rocky cliff in the rainy night.

We took advantage of this rain to rest peacefully all night in the cracks of the fault rocks in this hilly area. After waking up from meditation, I found that the shoulder blades fused with the seeds of thunder were still empty, only a few strands The filament-like lightning power floated inside, and I was secretly worried. I wondered how long it would take to collect enough lightning power to maintain the opening of the portal at such a speed.

……

The rain finally stopped at noon the next day.

Kalantso returned from the outside with a team of orc warriors wet. It seemed that the blood on her body had been washed away by the rain, but I could still smell the strong smell of blood on her body. This hunting operation was carried out by Kalantso It was completed independently with a team of 20 orcs. There were only three spider warriors in total, and they were stationed behind this fault mountain.

When Takama was patrolling in the morning, he accidentally discovered three spider warriors who were also hiding in the crevices of the rocks, and then quickly returned to the camp and told me.

These spider warriors also hid in the crevices of the rocks to shelter from the rain. I didn't expect that the three spider warriors were so close to us. If we put aside the low and narrow mountain of the fault mountain, we were probably only less than a hundred meters apart.

While having breakfast, I decided to take the orc warriors to kill the three spidermen.At the dinner table, Kalancuo said that she should be in charge of this small-scale hunting battle.This proposal was approved by Qige and Luka, so my protest was ignored by everyone.

In the morning, I continued to use the 'hydrotherapy' magic to treat those seriously injured orcs and heavy armored infantry soldiers, and their injuries recovered quickly.

At noon, when the rain stopped, Kalancuo returned to the camp with the orc team and brought back three black magic crystals.

What the soldiers of the heavy armored infantry regiment admired most was the skillful first aid skills of the orc warriors, and those hemostatic bandages that could never be used up. It seemed that in the eyes of the orc warriors, whoever had the most hemostatic bandages on his body would be the A hero in everyone's eyes.However, it was obvious that when the orc warriors looked at the soldiers of the heavy armored infantry regiment, they didn't have such respect in their eyes. These orc warriors were just acting very friendly.

The most incredible thing is that these orcs are good at using strong crossbows, and these strong crossbows are continuous crossbows that can only be issued by the most elite infantry regiments of the Grimm Empire. Fire five crossbow bolts in a row.

For infantry, even longbowmen can only shoot three rounds of arrow rain in one round of charge, but for this group of orcs, they can throw two rounds of short flying spears in advance, and then hold the crossbow. Shooting, orc warriors have always been very brave. These sophisticated armaments will greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of orc warriors.

……

After learning that Earl Horace was trapped in the Trume stronghold, Qige and I discussed it and decided to hunt the spider warriors outside the Trume stronghold while looking for opportunities to sneak into the Trume stronghold and find Katrin. Na.

My 'Frost Nova' magic scroll is running low.

We started to prepare for the trip to Trum. I wanted to draw more scrolls of Frost Nova. Qige locked herself in the tent for a whole day. I don’t know how many bottles of Xueluo ink I prepared. I took a quick look into the tent, and there were scattered glass bottles all over the tent. Qige was lying on the test bench, concentrating on preparing magic potions.

When Qige staggered out of the tent with his hands on his forehead, it was already evening.

She was lying sideways on the bench outside the tent, stretching her body. The magic dress was soft and silky. She held her chin with one hand and looked at me with a smile.

The lizard maid Takama also looked at me strangely.

I was about to go to the tent to take out a bottle of Xueluo ink, when Qige smiled and said to me: "Hey, Jijia, you must be careful when making magic scrolls, these inks may be a little unstable... ..."
