Undead Mentor Aspects

Chapter 137 Reconnaissance Team

The weather in the early autumn in the Northwest is very difficult, the summer tiger has not yet left, the lingering prestige is still there, and the cold air in the north is coming to join in the fun again, the cold wind is bitter.The temperature difference between day and night is huge, reaching more than 20 degrees at most, and ordinary people will suffer serious illnesses if their physical fitness is slightly poor.

It was noon, and the sun was so hot that it floated above the head, and there was no intention of resting.The marching armor on the imperial autumn army equipment is extremely heavy and thick, and the heat is unbearable.

Not to mention, the infantry helmet that covers most of the head is like a steamer inside.The old man often said: "Three volts are better, but early autumn is hard." That's the case.

Strict military regulations: You must never take off your helmet while on duty, and those who violate the order will be severely punished.In desperation, many sergeants shaved their shiny heads, which is a spectacle.

"Damn the weather!" A stubble-faced, burly middle-aged man with a rough face rode a horse, took out the marching water bottle on his waist, and took a sip of water.Wiping the beads of sweat from his head, he cursed uncleanly.

Glancing secretly at the captain in front of him, he didn't pay any attention to him. He gestured to the guy next to him and was about to take off the helmet on his head. It was too hot.Among a group of more than ten people, he is the fattest and the most afraid of heat.

"Baldhead! What do you want to do? Don't die!" The team leader in front suddenly shouted coldly, almost scared the baldhead off his horse.

"Head! It's nothing, it's just hot! Hehe, it's nothing!" The bald head withdrew his hand brilliantly, and said with a smile, "Head, why don't you show mercy outside the law? When I get back, I'll treat you to a drink with the bald head. How about Yuloutai? ?”

Watt in the front seemed to be moved, and after thinking for a while, he said: "How many times have I said that this is a mission, and if you don't pay attention, you will lose your head! Why don't you take it to heart? It's okay to drink secretly. However, there is no room for mistakes in this mission, so cheer up!" The captain finally resisted the temptation and scolded.

"What kind of mission! It's just a routine investigation, and we're just scouts! If we meet a big guy, we won't be able to run away, and no one takes our brothers seriously!" The bald man muttered dissatisfied. , resentment can be felt from afar.

"Baldhead, don't let the new guy see the joke, it's cool! What's wrong with the scouts? We are soldiers! Do soldiers understand?" Captain Watt seemed to be angry, and he yelled, "Tell me! The first rule of the imperial soldiers What is it?"

"It's obeying orders, sir!" The bald head immediately straightened his waist and replied.

"What is the order we received?" Captain Watt asked again after being annoyed.

"Investigate the No. [-] area, guard against the enemy's sneak attack, and lead the newcomers, sir!" The bald head replied seriously.

"Just know! Please execute the order perfectly, scout soldier! Soldiers don't have any excuses!" Watt turned his head and smiled at the magician behind the team, "Master Xiao, let you see a joke. Don't be surprised!"

This is a scouting team of more than a dozen people. In the middle of the team, there is a young dark magician wearing a black intermediate magician robe. His name is Xiao Tianming.

Xiao Tianming declined and said: "Captain Watt, the bald brother is right. The weather is really too hot. If we continue walking, people can bear it, but horses can't bear it! Let's take a rest first, we will hurry up in the third district Hurry up slowly and walk for three days. If you walk a few more hours, you will reach the border, and the task is not too short."

Watt pondered for a moment before agreeing to Xiao Tianming's suggestion.Order to rest in the woods not far ahead, and have lunch by the way.There was a burst of jubilation in the team.Sitting in the woods, Xiao Tianming was eating dry food while recalling everything that happened in the past few days.Scouts are not allowed to start fires during their missions.

A few days after the war order was issued, Xiao Tianming, who had been making preparations all the time, was recruited away with a transfer order.When they arrived at the front line, according to the rules, these "old soldiers" sent by the academy had no chance to go to the front line, and could only stay in various professional teams for further study.

After all, the students of the academy are distinguished, especially the magicians, who are a veritable noble class.If one dies in an accident, it will definitely be a loss to the country.The commander is just for fun, he absolutely dare not be wasted to death like an ordinary soldier.

Unexpectedly, within a few days, an accident happened suddenly.With the help of a large number of shamans, the orc army unexpectedly captured an acropolis outside the Tianlong Fortress without anyone noticing, and almost all the soldiers in the city were wiped out.In the next few days, the orcs succeeded again and again. Without the support of magicians, the Northwest Allied Forces were extremely passive.

The Central Committee of the Empire immediately issued an order: Appoint Jun Weiguo, the head of the Tianlong Legion in the Northwest of the Empire, and be promoted to the general of the Northwest Theater, named a first-class duke, and has the right to coordinate wartime.The final wartime coordinating power is equivalent to handing over all the military and political power in the northwest of the empire to Jun Weiguo.If Junweiguo rebels, the empire will suffer heavy losses.

Fortunately, the whole world knows that the Junwei Kingdom is the cornerstone of the northwest of the empire, and they are so loyal to the empire that even if the sky falls, it is impossible to rebel.

Jun Weiguo, who held great power in his hands, immediately ordered that all the mentors of the magician students supported by the academy, one out of every six should be assigned to the front line to relieve the pressure on the orc shamans.Xiao Tianming, along with Xiao Dian, the three daughters Xiao Feng, and the recently clingy water-type welcome Aina, were assigned to a group, and only one person had to be selected.

Xiao Tianming was obliged to sacrifice voluntarily.Xiao Tianming, who has a strong traditional culture, inevitably has a machismo complex. At this time, he must not let the girl be wronged, and he is obliged to shoulder it.

Arriving at Longyan City, the most important front-line fortress city on the border of the empire, Xiao Tianming was immediately incorporated into an elite scout team to carry out investigations with the team.Strive to completely break the shaman's methods and thoroughly investigate the traces of the orc troops.

Longyan City is one of the most important defensive fortresses in the Tianlong Fortress Group. If Longan City is captured, the orc army can drive straight in and directly attack Tianlong City, forming a strategic deterrent.Strategic location is extremely important.

Longan City is located in a traffic pass, so as long as the orcs pass by, they will definitely disturb the defense system of Longan City and immediately report to Tianlong City.No sneak attack, Tianlong Fortress is tightly defended, so it is naturally safe.

The mission area for this mission is the No. [-] area of ​​Longan City, which is the most dangerous and closest to the front line.It is said that someone found traces of a violent troll here, and their movements were suspicious.It is very possible that the orcs have already set their sights on this place.

This matter is no small matter, Longyan city lord personally ordered the most elite scouting team to thoroughly investigate the area, even deploying precious magicians and magic pigeons.The information they send back will affect the direction of the war.

Captain Watt did not forget to give ideological education to everyone during the break.The emphasis was on the importance of the helmet, and the artillery fire hit the bald head who was the most thorny and the least willing to wear a helmet.

Captain Watt, apart from nagging, has the strongest ability among all the scouts, and everyone below admires him psychologically.If it weren't for the lack of people in the court, he would have had a chance to be promoted.If this task is completed well and the battle is made, that hateful director of personnel will not be able to hold back any longer, and promotion is certain.

Bald, bold and unrestrained, bold and righteous, ignoring the rules, extremely hating orcs, and extremely brave in combat, he is the best martial artist in this team.It is said that because he committed a crime, he was sent down from above.No one knows his name, but he can only be called the most shining feature throughout the year - bald head.

Watt and the bald head are enemies, and they will fight for a few words when they meet.The strange thing is, the bald head who is not convinced by anyone, seeing Watt is like a mouse meeting a cat, and Watt says what he says.Watt, who is polite to everyone, can't hold back when he sees a bald head, and he can't wait to educate him on the spot.

Therefore, during the rest time of the team, Watt is usually teaching the bald head a lesson, and the bald head mutters and retorts, and everyone sees the joke.

"How do you feel? It's been a few days since you've been here, are you uncomfortable as a noble magician?" A soft male voice sounded, and Xiao Tianming, who was in deep thought, suddenly woke up and looked at the person in front of him.

Blue hair, which is common in mainland China, has a handsome and delicate face, revealing a bookish air.His name is Walan, and he is the younger brother of Captain Watt. He has attended the Imperial Higher Academy.

"It's a scholar!" Xiao Tianming took the salted fish with a smile, "The team is not bad. You don't know, before I officially became a magician, I was an adventurer! At my house, until Now, I am a bit famous. This bit of suffering is nothing to me, the only complaint is that the weather in the northwest is too bad." Xiao Tianming ran the train with his mouth full.

"It seems that you have also experienced hard times, no wonder you can fight with our gang of soldiers! Originally..." At this point, the scholar Wa Lan hesitated.

"At first I thought I was a master magician, but I'm here to be a burden to you, right?" Xiao Tianming laughed.

Seeing Walan's embarrassed expression, Xiao Tianming laughed in understanding.The scouts beside them couldn't help laughing. Although magicians are strong, they are not accessible to their class. If they encounter a bad-tempered teammate, they may die.

Magician Xiao really understood their difficulties.Walan also laughed.For a time, with smiles as a bridge, everyone's relationship became closer. "Boy, yes, continue!" The bald head also stopped arguing, and graciously threw the water bottle on his waist over, looking at Xiao Tianming's puzzled face, the bald head gestured for a drink.

Xiao Tianming was puzzled: Everyone has a water bottle, what are you doing for me?To be polite, I still uncorked the bottle and drank it in a big gulp.

"Cough cough! Cough cough! This, what is this!" A strong smell of alcohol came first, and the fiery liquid was like a real flame, burning from the throat to the stomach, and then spread to the whole body.Within a few breaths, Xiao Tianming was sweating profusely, and when the forest wind blew, his body suddenly cooled down.

The scouts laughed again. Soldiers, like mercenaries, are extremely addicted to alcohol. A bottle of high-purity spirits can not only warm up the body, boost morale, but also treat wounds urgently when necessary. It is the most practical treasure.This group of elite scouts did not lack money, so everyone prepared two water jugs, one for water and one for wine, for both marching and entertainment.

Xiao Tianming didn't know why, so he was naturally deceived.With his body, he can't hold alcohol naturally.His face was flushed, he knelt down and wanted to vomit, wanting to live and die.

Everyone laughed again.Just now he admitted that he was a member of the team, but this time he truly regarded Xiao Tianming as a comrade in arms who share life and death, the intimacy is vastly different.The bald head laughed loudly and said, "You're not bad, let's go to Yulou Terrace to play together!"

Xiao Tianming said stupidly at the right time: "Where is Yulou Terrace?" There was another burst of laughter underneath, and the laughter was rocking forward and backward.For virgin Xiao Tianming, the pink land is a bit too exciting, and it's normal not to know.

After laughing, Wa Lan sat side by side with Xiao Tianming and chatted.Suddenly asked: "Mage Xiao..."

"I'm young, call me Tianming!"

"This, this is not good?"

"Unless you don't treat me as a brother!" Xiao Tianming threatened.

Wa Lan was helpless, and continued: "Tian Ming, you are a dark magician, you must know undead magic, right?" In the eyes of ordinary people, magicians are powerful guys, and there is no difference between dark magicians and undead magicians.

"I mainly study undead magic, why ask this?" Xiao Tianming naturally didn't need to explain the faction dispute between darkness and undead, it was too far away for these lovely soldiers.

"Can undead magic preserve the soul after death, so that the soul has the opportunity to convey the message?" Walan asked again, with a nervous and hesitant expression on his face, but also a bit of hope.

"It is theoretically possible, and I can do it too. However, the magic power is limited, and the soul cannot be preserved for a long time. Even if it is preserved, the memory and wisdom will gradually be lost, and finally become a ghost and a real undead creature. You have to be careful !" Xiao Tianming murmured, this gentle young man must have asked him for something.

"To tell you the truth, before coming here, my wife took me to the astrology tower in the imperial capital, and asked a noble astrologer to have a look. It turned out that the result was not optimistic." Speaking of this, Wa Lan's face remained unchanged, only He was a little hesitant when it came to his wife.

"Oh? Not optimistic?" Xiao Tianming himself does not believe in so-called astrology.If it really exists, it is also a special kind of magic, the so-called starlight magic!The success rate of divination is extremely low, and it has no research value at all.

"As a result, it turns out that I probably won't be able to go back. I'm a little worried. Don't tell other people, it's bad for morale." Walan finally said it, relieved, "I'm likely to die here!"

(The war has begun!)
