People are at the border, but they become the incarnation of the sun

Along with the sound of bones and muscles tearing, the Cuckoo Knight felt a pain on his back, and then a staff was pressed against his face exposed under the helmet. The heat and light emitted by the pyroxene on the top could be clearly felt.

"Great, Kalia!"

Under the revealed emblem of Kalia, the knight's eyes were filled with terror. He didn't even have time to beg for mercy before the magic sword blade condensed on the pyroxene pierced through his head and exploded like a watermelon, spilling red and white all over the ground.

"Are you okay?"

After killing the knight, Reinhardt asked Blaze casually while carrying his axe.

In the reflection of moonlight and flames, the blood remaining on the ceremonial axe on his shoulder slowly dripped like drops of blessed dew.

"Thanks, Rhine."

This is the tacit understanding that has been honed over the past few months as a partner. Whether it is Letina, him, or Blaze, they will always provide assistance at the right time.

However, just as the two of them were dealing with this Cuckoo Knight, Darriwell had already taken care of the other three, and most of them were killed with one blow.

"This guy is really strong..."

No matter how many times he saw it, Reinhardt couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

With this killing efficiency, those who don’t know would think that this guy is also a shadow beast.

But on second thought, this should be the correct way to use the Hound Knight, right?

Hunt for prey, lurk in the dark, and wait for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

But why does this way of action give me the feeling of an assassin?

"Quick victory!"

Blaze shouted as he cleared out the remaining enemies.

This sound seemed to boost morale, and soon the transport team was cleared out, leaving only the quietly burning transport vehicles and burned supplies.

At the same time, the trumpets on the fourth bell tower sounded, and all the barracks stationed nearby were mobilized.

In a short while, groups of Cuckoo Knights, soldiers and academy magicians surrounded the place.

But unfortunately, they had already left the building, leaving only corpses and burning wreckage.

"Damn, those damn Kalia people... where the hell did they come from?!" Seeing his men die tragically, the leader of the cuckoos couldn't help but curse.

The face under the helmet was distorted by anger. He gritted his teeth viciously, wishing he could tear Blaze and the others apart and use them as sacrifices.

But more of it is confusion.

It was obvious that the royal territory had been surrounded by them, and not even a bird could fly over, but in recent days, no one knew how many of their transport teams had been killed in secret.

The most important thing is that these guys never rob, they always destroy everything completely.

If this continues, we will sooner or later face the crisis of insufficient supplies and food shortages.

At the same time, on the lake of Lienia.

Hidden under the towering rocky shore, there are several small boats. There are no torches, no magical lighting, and no pyroxene as a light source. They can only move forward in the dark night relying on the faint light from the sky.

The soldiers and magicians sitting on the boat gathered together, talking and laughing. They talked about how many cuckoo bastards they had killed today, laughed at the stupidity of the academy, and said that they shouldn't be enemies with Kalia.

Only on the leading boat in the front was there no sound of laughter or playfulness.

Darriwell squatted at the bow, controlling the direction of the ship and the movements of enemy forces around and along the coast.

Blaze, with the help of the moonlight, flicked open the sheepskin map in his hand. It was already covered with densely packed red crosses, and now there was another one.

"The last known transport team has been taken care of. Our mission is complete." Blaze said with relief. He looked up at the brilliant starry sky, then lowered his head to look at them. "I think the pressure on the front line should be much relieved. We can launch a counterattack at any time."

"Hmm..." Reinhardt didn't say anything, but just responded with a faint nasal sound.

"Lord Rhine, you don't seem to be very happy. What happened?" Letina, who was kneeling on the side of the boat, asked with concern.

They had clearly won the battle and laid the foundation for Kalia's victory, but Reinhardt did not look happy at all.

Hearing this question, Blaze also cast a curious look.

Under the gaze of the two, Reinhardt shook his head and said, "No, I just think that all we have done is just a drop in the bucket... The Azalea Knights and the Academy can reorganize the transport team.

Even if we kill more, it will be of no use. We can't shake their foundation at all, and there is no way to change the fact that the Magic Academy controls most of Lienia's territory..."

Indeed, their lethality is indeed too limited.

Even if they killed more Cuckoo Knights and Cuckoo Soldiers, even if they added the Pyroxene Magicians, that would only be the tip of the iceberg.

You know, on the road from the royal territory of Kalia Castle to the Magic Academy, there are rows of military camps, the kind that you can hardly see the end of at a glance.

They simply took advantage of a loophole and were able to destroy so many transport teams by chance.

If you are not careful, it will probably turn into a siege situation.

By then, there would be no escape.

But Blaze said nonchalantly, "Well, just like you once said, Rhine, man proposes, God disposes. We've done what we should do, and the rest is up to Lani to decide."

"Yes...leave it to Lani..."

Reinhardt lay back, looking at the dark and boundless night sky and muttering to himself.

In fact, what I just said was only one of the reasons why he was depressed.

The main reason is that I haven’t seen Teacher Se Lian for a long time and I miss him a little, and I’m also a little worried.

He was not afraid that the academy would send Teacher Serlian to the battlefield to deal with Kalia's army, because that was impossible.

In the academy, neither Seren's prestige nor his achievements allow the academy's top management to make such a decision.

That is the most valuable talent.

What he was worried about was how Teacher Se Lian was doing during his absence, and whether he was eating and sleeping well.

And how far has the research on the origin of pyroxene progressed?

However, he was now in Kalia, and it was difficult for him to return to the academy, let alone find out the current situation of Teacher Serlian in the academy...

"Lord Rhine, it might be more comfortable to rest your head here."

At this moment, he suddenly felt his head lighten, and someone lifted it up slightly and placed it in a relatively soft place.

"...Letina, what are you doing?"

Looking at Letina's pretty face, Reinhardt felt a little confused and all the muscles in his body tensed subconsciously.

"I feel that Lord Rhine is not comfortable with his head resting there, so I'll change the position for you." Letina said softly with a beautiful smile on her face.

"Is...really? Thank you..."

"You're welcome, Lord Rhine."

What Letina meant by changing the location was the lap pillow service.

Although separated by chain mail, one could still feel the extraordinary softness, perhaps because the Son of Platinum's legs were degenerating.

And at such a close distance he could even smell a subtle fragrance, which should be the scent of Letina.

This made him subconsciously hold his breath and not dare to breathe deeply.

Seeing this, Blaze tactfully turned his head and looked at the rippling lake in front of him, with a slight smile on his lips.

Being young is really good...

57. Triumphant Return (Part )

whoosh-

At night, the sudden sound of breaking wind broke the silence.

On the rock wall on the north shore of Lienia, several flying claws were thrown up from below and firmly hooked onto the edge of the rock.

The boat was anchored and hidden in the crevice of the rock, while the others climbed up slowly using fishing ropes.

Unlike what I remembered, the shores of Lake Lienya were not all shallow ponds, and many places required boats to cross.

"Rhine, your invention is really useful. It has solved a lot of our problems." Blaze, who was climbing up with the rope, suddenly praised.

"Well, that's no big deal." Reinhardt, who was also climbing up holding the rope, responded nonchalantly.

In fact, he had been thinking about this during the game, why there was no grappling hook to climb rock walls or city walls.

If there were such a thing, both infiltration and assault would be much easier.

So, just before carrying out the mission of destroying the food transport, he finally built this thing with the help of Grandpa Iggy.

Although it is still in the trial period, the effect is pretty good so far.

but....

"Besides, you, Blaze, Letina, and Darriwell don't even need this kind of grappling hook to climb the wall."

His tone was a little sour.

Whether it was Letina riding a wolf or Blaze, they didn't need the help of this thing to climb the towering rock wall perpendicular to the lake surface.

Like now.

Robert, who was standing under Letina, was using the tiny footholds on the rock wall to jump upwards continuously. It was so easy.

Darryl even imitated Robert's movements, climbing up the rock wall using the same footholds, and at an extremely fast speed.

Only Blaze climbed the rock wall obediently with a rope, accompanying him as he slowly climbed up.

But his words were met with a roll of eyes from Blaze.

"Letina just invited you to come along, but you refused. You only have yourself to blame."

"Hehe, stop kidding me, Blaze." Reinhardt smiled, but secretly cursed the werewolf in his heart for being so dishonest.

He had finally realized that no matter which world, no matter what gender or race, everyone was particularly interested in gossip, just like the unruly shadow beast beside him.

"Haha." Seeing him being humiliated for the rare time, Blaze grinned, and his sharp canine teeth reflected an inexplicable light.

Then he turned his gaze downwards and said, "However, your invention has indeed made things more convenient for many people."

Directly below them, a group of magicians and soldiers were climbing up slowly, holding on to the ropes tightly with both hands.

In the past, this cliff, which seemed like a natural barrier, only made people feel despair, but now there is finally a way to conquer it.

Here, they have opened up a new road leading to the Kalia Castle. Usually, they take advantage of the cover of night to set out from here by boat to attack Dujuan's transport team.

And those stupid cuckoos still haven't figured out how they managed to bypass the battle line and attack their camp from behind.

If the people above were not the group of self-righteous magicians in the magic academy and were not very familiar with the internal situation of the magic academy, they would probably suspect that the other party had joined forces with the Kalia royal family to trick them.

When they returned to the Kalia Castle, the towering golden tree in the distance had bloomed again, but the roar coming from the front line never stopped. It was unknown how many attacks the Cuckoo Knights had launched.

However, compared to the madness at the beginning, the current group of cuckoos seemed a little weak. Each attack was just loud but caused little actual damage.

"...Ah, Master Blaze, Master Rhine, welcome back."

When they arrived at the city gate, two guards in charge of city defense patrol greeted them.

But unlike other Kalia soldiers, these two guards were crawling on the ground, wearing only robes. They were very thin, with long necks, and looked a little deformed, but the pyroxene staffs in their hands showed that they could use magic.

Like Letina, they are the Sons of Platinum, but they are male.

Reinhardt nodded slightly and followed Blaze into the city.

Originally, the patrol work of the city defense should not be assigned to male Platinum Sons. After all, they are more suitable to be fixed magic turrets.

But no way.

All the Kalia soldiers who were able to move had gone to support the front lines. Apart from the Royal Guard Knight Loretta, some Kalia knights, and the magicians defending the inner city, they were the only ones left in the city.

Even the other female Platinum Sons rode wolves into battle.

This is not the time to be picky. It is already very good that there are still people available in the Kalia royal family.

There is no choice.

It's not like the Magic Academy controls a large tract of land, and the Cuckoo Knight can use this to oppress the villages and force conscription.

When they arrived at the royal moon-viewing spot, they found that Lani was already sitting in the main seat waiting for them, and it seemed that she had been waiting for a long time.

Other members of the royal family were also sitting in the seats around.
