Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 146: The School of Magic Has a Way to Die
Bai Shi was blessed and quickly returned to Stonewell.

In the days since I left Stoneville, there doesn't seem to be any major changes in the city.

And it looks quite harmonious, so nothing major should have happened.

The city construction has become more complete and the damaged buildings have been almost repaired.

Also, the number of people in the city has increased.

Every race has new members coming over, but in terms of numbers, the largest number of people are still the Faded Ones.

The Faded Ones in the entire Nimgefu had learned about Stonewell through the publicity during this period, and they came over one after another.

The number is so large that it is probably already thousands, or even more than ten thousand.

Bai Shi estimated the number of people on the street. Although he had not yet gotten the exact number of people, it was obviously much larger than before.

The influx of the Faded has injected fresh blood into Stonewell, which means that Baishi can increase the number of troops again and again.

Even though there are many faded ones who are unwilling to fight, they are not the majority in the entire group.

Although most of the faded ones are not very strong, they are still willing to fight.

Especially after joining the army, they don’t have to face life and death alone.

Among them, the faded ones who cannot see the blessing have a much higher willingness to join the army than the faded ones who can see the blessing.

Having the blessing means that as long as you are not killed immediately, you have a chance to survive.

But on the other hand, it will also make the Faded Ones unable to help but rely on blessings, always wanting to have a way out.

Perhaps it was because they had no blessing and knew there was no way out that those guys had the courage to move forward.

If Baizhi lowers the requirements for the army, these faded ones can go to the battlefield without even any training.

Except for discipline, any Faded One who can fight is definitely superior to the soldiers of ordinary forces in all aspects.

Moreover, the Faded Ones all come with their own weapons and equipment. Where can we find such good soldiers?
It can be said that the Faders are even more cost-effective than their fifty-dollar brothers in StarCraft.

However, Bai Shi does not intend to lower his requirements for the army.

Training and discipline are essential, as are the armor and weapons that every unit should have.

Bai Shi couldn't wait to see the army heading for Rodel.

However, the influx of so many faded people will inevitably increase the pressure on urban management.

In such a short time since Bai Shi came back, he has seen far more guards than before.

At this moment, the guards in the city were led by the Storm Knights, wearing dazzling silver armor, carrying swords and shields, and some of them even carried longbows.

There are two upward-flying wings on the helmet of this set of armor as a logo, symbolizing that they are the wings of storm.

This is exactly the Silver Knight set from Dark Souls, and is now used as equipment for the guards.

These guards were carefully selected from among the Faded Ones and underwent rigorous training.

It can be said that every silver knight here is an elite.

It is also thanks to the fact that the Faded Ones themselves are descendants of warriors, so they have a pretty good foundation.

With a basic foundation, you only need a little training and your strength will improve rapidly, both in terms of moves and coordination.

Then, with the addition of military obedience training, a force can be quickly built.

The army was formed very quickly, and they were not mass-produced cannon fodder like the Sons of Platinum and the Snake People.

Although Bai Shi didn't manage it personally, he always cared about Stonewell, so he quickly noticed the changes during this period from these details.

Overall, everything is developing in a positive direction and at a very fast pace.

As for whether anything happened in the invisible places, we will have to wait and ask Lancelet.

Bai Shi came all the way to Lancelet's office.

At this moment, Lancelet was bent over his desk, working.

Lancelet was surprised to see Bai Shi coming, then he immediately stood up and greeted his king back to Stonewell.

Bai Shi saw that Lancelet looked visibly haggard, so he patted his shoulder and asked him to sit down.

Then Bai Shi also sat on the chair opposite Lancelet.

"Master Bai Shi, you are back earlier than expected."

"Look at the time. Has the battle festival not started yet?"

Lancelet remembered it very clearly. Bai Shi said that he would be gone for quite a long time.

Bai Shi nodded.

"I've been to Red Lion City, and I've also explored Gaileed and nearby areas. I basically have a general idea of the situation."

"In the next one or two days before the battle festival begins, I will have a lot of free time, and I can finally get around to taking care of some things."

"By the way, how is Stonewell doing these days? I see a lot more people on the streets."

Lancelet showed a smile on his face.

"The current development of Stonewell is very encouraging. First of all, the population has increased a lot."

"Thanks to our long-term publicity, many faded people from the Nimgfu area have come, more than 10,000 people."

"There are also quite a few people who are participating in training and preparing to join the army, about 6,000 to 7,000 people."

"Those who do not plan to join the military also have jobs assigned to them, including logistics, construction, etc., which also buffers the shortage of available manpower."

"According to this, not only the earliest Dragon Blood Knights and Silver Knight Guards, but other knight orders can also begin preparations."

Hearing such good news, Bai Shi also smiled.

It is naturally a good thing to have strong soldiers and horses under your command.

Lancelet continued:

"Under the guidance of Mr. Iggy, our blacksmith has completed the equipment for the Dragon Blood Knight and the Silver Knight."

"But Mr. Iggy also left two days ago."

Bai Shi nodded. Iggy had already left, so it would be difficult to find him back right away.

"How many people are there in the Dragon Blood Knights now?"

Lancelet knew the data by heart and answered immediately.

"There are 500 Dragonblood Knights, divided into five teams of 100 men, each with a commander and a deputy commander, led by Hakan."

"Each knight is equipped with two knight squires. If war really breaks out, each knight can lead additional soldiers."

"But given their command capabilities, I'm afraid the effect won't be particularly good."

In terms of strength alone, every Dragon Blood Knight starts at the standard knight level, and the stronger ones should be able to barely reach the threshold of heroes.

However, since I have not received relevant training, I am afraid I cannot expect much from the command aspect.

If we let them take command, it would probably only have the opposite effect.

Yakir has a lot of meat on his body. Even though he is a flying dragon, his body size is not very plump, but the amount of meat is still amazing.

An ordinary flying dragon is more than 20 meters long, while Yakir is 30 to 40 meters long, with enough flesh and blood for many people to devour.

If the soldiers were only allowed to eat a little dragon flesh and blood, the number of knights that could be trained from this flesh and blood could be doubled.

But for the sake of quality, Bai Shi did not choose to do so.

Instead, these soldiers were allowed to eat more flesh and blood every once in a while, and all of this flesh and blood was used to train this group of people. The method of training knights with dragon flesh and blood was not a long-term solution, and Bai Shi would definitely not use this method more in the future.

Therefore, Bai Shi’s requirement for the Dragon Blood Knights is: to become a strong enough army as soon as possible and to be there wherever Stonewell needs knights as soon as possible.

There are more than 500 fully armored knights, and they are knights who have devoured the flesh and blood of dragons.

If this was a strong army in the border area before the Shattering War, it would be even more so now after the Shattering War.

However, we should not be complacent about this, as the success or failure of a war does not only depend on the knights.

What's more, the heroes at the border are genuine ones who can fight against hundreds of people at once, and there are demigods above them.

Even if used properly, the engineering equipment and soldiers used for attacking and defending the city can play a greater role than hundreds of knights.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. I have been able to achieve this during this period of time thanks to you guys."

Hearing Bai Shi's praise, Lancelet did not look very happy.

Bai Shi noticed something strange about Lancelet and asked:

"What? Bad news?"

"Just say it directly. If you ignore bad news, you will decline sooner or later."

Lancelet nodded and recounted the harassment Stonewell had recently encountered.

"We did run into some trouble after you left."

"They're not serious situations, but they are annoying. We've already made our own plans."

"The first one is the Night Riders from before. They are still wandering around the territory of Nimgefu."

"And after the massacre you inflicted on them, they have become even more cunning."

"In the past, their strategy was to search for large numbers of faded people on the avenue and then capture them all in one fell swoop."

"But now, they are divided into small groups, with only two or three riders fighting together at a time, specifically targeting small groups of faded ones."

"We have lost quite a few Faded Ones because of them, and now the Crucible Knights are hunting down these Night Riders."

"Storm Eagle patrols, pass the word to the Crucible Knights, and they will fly over to stop it."

"Under such circumstances, we have already dealt with thirteen or fourteen Night Cavalrymen."

"However, both of them were injured in these battles, but fortunately, neither of them was seriously injured."

Bai Shi thought about it and felt that the Night Cavalry were indeed difficult to deal with.

It has high mobility and strong strength, so it is just right for the Crucible Knights to deal with it.

In terms of mobility, the flying Furnace Knight is taller than them, and the strength of the Furnace Knight is also stronger.

The level of the Crucible Knights is not a problem for them to deal with the Night Cavalry.

The Crucible Knight is originally at the top of the heroes.

Elissa, the leader of the Samir people who made great achievements in the Giant War, is about the same strength as the Crucible Knights.

Even though Andre and Red do not have the same powerful strength as the two forge chiefs, they are more than enough to deal with these night cavalry.

Not to mention that they took the initiative to disperse and only had to deal with two or three night cavalrymen each time.

However, Bai Shi had only been away for a few days and he had killed so many Night Cavalry. I guess the fighting must have been quite fierce every day.

Maybe two or three games a day.

"What about Elissa? Didn't she go? Her mobility and strength are not bad either."

Lancelet gave a wry smile.

"That's exactly the second thing I want to talk about. In Lienia to our north, the School of Magic sent some puppet soldiers to harass us."

"Those puppet soldiers are not very powerful, but they are annoying, especially the flying bird-shaped puppet soldiers and hot air balloons that can cross the cliff behind Stonewell."

"Elissa is currently stationed at the border with the Storm Eagles."

"It just so happens that both of these places require mobility or the ability to cause large-scale destruction."

"So our Dragon Blood Knights and Warriors don't have much room to perform, so we have to trouble them first."

Bai Shi raised his eyebrows.

It sounds like this isn't a big deal. Even if Bai Zhi doesn't come back, they should be able to handle it.

But Monget let it go, after all, they had a grudge against each other before.

And he also knew that he wanted to be the King of Elden, and would definitely do everything he could to stop him.

But what about the academy?
A force that can't even produce a demigod-level figure now dares to show off in front of him?

Do you feel that you can't do anything to them because you are hiding in a closed shell?

In the School of Magic, there is already a way to die.

But now, the first thing we should take care of is the Night Riders.

The feud had already been established, and now it was time to settle it once and for all.

Bai Shi wanted to use his actions to tell Mungert that the fire of his ambition was still burning.

And Monget's darkness will never be able to extinguish the fire of his ambition.

This fire will completely change the entire border area.

And he didn't even know what Bai Shi's ambition represented.

Bai Shi placed his fingers on Lancelet's desk and tapped lightly.

Now that he knows Stonewell's current situation, it's time for him, as a true leader, to make a decision.

"Where are the Dragonblood Knights now? Are they still training?"

Lancelet pointed to the map hanging on the wall behind him and told Bai Shi:

"They are now at the bottom of the mist forest, which is the area you and Lady Ranie are working together to develop."

"The Faded explorers we sent down found strange dragon-like creatures inside, and they were difficult to defeat."

"Thinking about the training and the dragon-related aspects, I asked Hakan to lead the Dragonblood Knights down."

"According to the time, even in the vast underground area, we should be arriving soon."

Bai Shi thought about it and decided that the dragon-like creature underground should be a dragon soldier.

Recalling the map, Bai Shi chuckled twice.

"Okay, they went to the right place, should we say it's a coincidence? It saved me a lot of time."

Next to the dragon soldiers, there is a way to reach Galid through the well.

This would save Bai Shi the time of having them run all the way from Stoneville to the town of Gailedeseria.

Although there should be a cliff after coming up from that exit.

But the artificial creatures in Selia Town can climb walls, so we just need to let them bring the Dragon Blood Knights up.

Bai Shi quickly planned a route in his mind, ready to solve all of Stonewell's problems at once.

　Oh no, I failed one subject first, and I have another exam in the evening, but fortunately, there are not many exams in the next few days (lying down
