The mage arrives

Antonov seemed to want his words to be heard by everyone, so he spoke very loudly.And his goal was indeed achieved.Chuck McDougall, who was exchanging warm greetings with Durlington and expressing his gratitude, blushed.The Platinum Centurion found that he was really carried away by this great reversal victory, so much so that he only went up to meet the pioneer cavalry of the Winter Claw Legion, who had a great background, and forgot Gordon and others who fought side by side together in the first place. .

Although the team was small in number, it had dozens of elite fighters, more than ten mages and priests, and a mage who could summon steel giants and had a close relationship with Grand Duke Antaello.Their origins are by no means simple.

Chuck is just a typical middle-level Freyton officer who has no identity background and has risen to his current position entirely by virtue of military merit and seniority. When he thinks that his unintentional negligence may offend a group of "key people" of unknown origin, he regrets it very much.He was well aware of bureaucracy in the military.Originally, today's big event could add a lot of color to his seniority book, and it would not be impossible to even be promoted to commander-in-chief because of his meritorious deeds. That was too late to regret.

Riding on a war horse, Durlington was looking down at Chuck, seeing the hesitant expression on the other side, a feeling of disgust arose in his heart.

"This lowly civilian officer! If it wasn't for the heroic Winterclaw cavalry and four noble golden dragons who repelled the orcs and saved the fortress of Saihuatuo, would you still be standing here and talking to me?"

Derrington didn't know what happened to Fort Salvatore before he arrived.In his cognition, only the Winter Claw Cavalry Regiment wiped out four times the number of Warg Cavalry with a heroic and fearless charge.Together with the four golden dragons that descended from the sky, they repelled the army of the orcs who invaded Saihuatuo Fortress, and temporarily maintained the entire Anduin Great Wall defense line.

Originally, this hearty victory swept away Dellington's depressed mood throughout the winter, and made him very high-spirited and proud.But that damned, lowly, vulgar big man in the distance ruined the moment he should have enjoyed cheering and worshiping.

Durrington did not speak.He just smiled and took off his helmet.The handsome appearance coupled with the distinctive long silver hair made the surrounding fortress defenders who had been rolling in the stones and mud for a day couldn't help but exclaim.

The man from the Eisenstein family didn't speak, and didn't even show a trace of dissatisfaction. He behaved perfectly like a real ancient knight.

He just winked at the flag officer beside him.

The flag bearer in the army.It is no less important than the position of commander.The banner of an army is where its soul lies.Where morale lies.Guide the way forward in battle.Durlington naturally would not allow such an important position to be held by an outsider.The flag officer of the cavalry regiment is the heir of a certain subordinate nobleman of the Eisenstein family. He grew up with Durlington and served as his knight retinue. He is an absolute confidant.

The flag bearer named Elhoka immediately understood what Durlington meant.

Durlington is always a personable and noble knight.And El Hoka.is responsible for being the villain.Two people only play such a role, and this time is no exception.

"Centurion Chuck, the warriors of our Winter Claw Legion are very tired after a big battle. There are still many wounded who need to be treated. I hope you can help. Of course, considering the current situation of the fortress, we will not Make unreasonable demands, you just need to do the best you can."

"Of course, I will try my best to satisfy the heroes who saved the Fortress of Saivato..." Chuck said, "Knights, please wait a moment, I will call the logistics officer immediately. The cellar that stores ale and bacon in the southwest corner of the fortress is lucky." I survived the earthquake, and I will treat the soldiers of the Winter Claw Legion to a drink later."

After Chuck made the arrangements, he was going to find Gordon and the others.He hoped that neither side would be offended, so he was going to appease the disgruntled Antonov.Being able to manage a huge frontier fortress is not just about leading troops to fight. Handling interpersonal relationships is also an extremely important ability.

Who knew that the centurion was about to leave, but was stopped by El Hoka: "I think you have misunderstood something, centurion. I hope you will entertain us in person, instead of just finding a low-ranking officer. This is Respect to the Legion directly under His Majesty the Emperor. In addition, those injured boys can’t wait, I hope you will arrange for us immediately, immediately, now. As for other unimportant people, you can wait a little longer..."

Looking at the arrogant eyes of Al Hoka on the horse, Chuck felt uncomfortable.He finally saw that these guys from the Winter Claw Legion were competing with Gordon and the others.

In the eyes of this centurion, neither Gordon Freeman nor Dellington von Eisenstein knew him before today.Both sides are heroes who have contributed to the defense of the Saivato Fortress. Now that the battle is over, can't they get along well and drink a glass of victory wine together?

Compared with the mysterious and low-key Gordon and his party, Centurion Chuck, who was born in the local border guards, did not have much affection for the Winter Claw Legion, who always relied on his status as a direct member of the royal family.Now, for the sake of fighting side by side, he greeted them with a smile, and even ignored the heroes who killed the two Cyclops and saved the fortress in the first place.But the knights of the Winter Claw Legion didn't appreciate it, and pressed harder and harder.

Chuck found that the soldiers who had been lining the road to welcome them had already suppressed their smiles, and instead looked at the Winterclaw cavalry entering the fortress with a complicated expression.He knew that if he really agreed to Elhoka's making things difficult, not only would he completely offend Gordon, but he would even be looked down upon by his subordinates.

So Chuck gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Mr. Knights, I think my logistics officer can perfectly meet all your needs. I have other things, so I will leave."

Dellington's flag officer sneered, and suddenly took out the whip from his waist, and swung it in the air.

Snapped!

A crisp sound resounded through the fortress.

"Centurion. Our Winter Claw Legion is the sharpest sword in His Majesty's hands and the strongest shield to protect the Farfrost Province. Now, you are so negligent to fight with the orcs and save the heroic knights in the fortress. This is It is a great insult, and it is a blasphemy against the faith of the Platinum Dragon!"

A surge of anger surged in Chuck's heart, so that his face flushed red.As a civilian officer, he hated those nobles who said "Emperor" and "Dragon God" the most righteous words, and arbitrarily labeled those who did not agree with him.What's more, the other party's act of pulling out the whip is simply treating himself as a slave who can threaten and reprimand at will.

"Bah!" Chuck spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and it just hit the gorgeous horse armor of El Hoka's mount, "Don't fucking talk about it, that's a cliché. Originally, I saw that you were comrades fighting side by side, so fight together. You are being polite after repelling the attack of the orcs. Who knows that you guys don't appreciate it. I really thought it would be great to repel a group of wolf cavalry? If Mr. Gordon Freeman hadn't killed two Cyclops before, if It wasn't four golden dragons that fell from the sky. You monkeys from the Winter Claw Legion really think that you can scare away tens of thousands of orcs by yourself? If you really have the ability, go and take off the head of the orc warlord!"

Chuck's scolding was extremely relieved, and the onlookers applauded one after another, and some even gave the Winterclaw cavalry a thumbs up, telling them to get out of the fortress.

Although Elhoka was humble and loyal in front of Dellington, he had a different face in front of civilians who were lower than himself.He looked at the glaring phlegm marks on his mount's armor, and listened to the harsh boos around him, the anger in his heart became more and more intense, and rushed straight to his forehead.

The flag-bearer didn't even think about it, he raised the whip in his hand, and was about to teach the brave centurion a lesson.

Both Elhoka and Chuck were eighth-level fighters, but they recharged their energy and easily defeated the Warg Cavalry.The other fought fiercely for a long time to defend the fortress, and was wounded and exhausted.

Seeing that the black whip shadow was about to be imprinted on his face but there was no time to dodge it, Chuck was anxious and angry.If he was really whipped, he might not be seriously injured, but the humiliation of being whipped in public will definitely be hard to let go for a long time.

At this moment, several drop-shaped energy bombs shone with silver brilliance whizzed over, and one of them accurately blew the horsewhip in El Hoka's hand into two pieces.

The flag officer didn't expect this sudden magic attack, and panicked, he didn't hold the cavalry's banner properly.As a result, the remaining magic missiles hit the flagpole in his hand one after another.

click... click...

Under the eyes of everyone, the flag representing the vanguard cavalry of the Winter Claw Legion just broke and fell to the ground.The white and majestic flying eagle on the flag was immediately muddled by dust and mud.

"Gordon Freeman!" Dellington looked at the black-haired mage walking slowly from a distance, forgetting even to hide his emotions, and there was a touch of cold hatred in his eyes.

In fact, when Chuck said the name "Gordon Freeman" just now, Dellington felt something was wrong.Originally, he just wanted to embarrass Antonov a little bit, and didn't want to expand the situation.Who knew that El Hoka wanted to make a move, and before he could stop it, Gordon made the move first.

"Chuck McDougall! How do you control your field mages, you lowly civilian officer? How dare you break the flag of the Winterclaw Legion! You will have to pay the price, and you will all be executed!" Elhoka went crazy shouted. (To be continued..)
