My Magic Age
Chapter 1177 281. This victory in winter
The horn of war sounded in every corner of the province of Sloyt. The biggest mistake made by these barbarians from the snowy tundra this winter was to gather together, form several large teams, and go deep into the southern part of the province of Sloyt to plunder. They were overly optimistic about the situation in previous years and believed that the North Wind Legion would still spend the entire winter quietly in the fortifications on the south bank of the White Elephant River as in previous years. However, they did not expect that the North Wind Legion would send 30 of the most elite constructed knights to wander around various regions of the province of Sloyt.
In the past, the barbarians were scattered in various regions of the province of Sloyt, and most of the enemies they encountered were local armed forces and knights in a certain city. The combat effectiveness of these armies was not even as good as the heavy armored infantry regiment of the North Wind Legion. Therefore, the barbarians rarely lost in field battles, which led to these barbarian warriors from the extreme north of the snowy tundra to mistakenly believe that the knights of the Northern Province had such poor combat effectiveness.
In recent years, as magic traps and a series of hunting techniques for barbarians were announced, and the governors of various cities increased the reward system for hunting barbarians, this directly led to many demon hunters and senior warriors who had retired to various cities in the province of Sloyte to stand up again and form some private falcon teams active in the suburbs of settled cities. There were a lot of cases of falcons killing barbarians in various cities.
The barbarians found that they would be easily hunted by the falcon teams of the province of Sloyte if they were alone, so they gathered together to form a large force of about several thousand people. In the early days of entering the province of Sloyte, these large forces used their powerful combat power to break through some towns and castles in the southern part of the province of Sloyte, but they did not realize that the team had penetrated into the hinterland of the province of Sloyte, giving the North Wind Legion's Construct Knights great strategic depth.
In the past winters, the barbarian warriors were the most adorable lone wolves in the mountains and the residents of the north were a group of sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
But this winter, the barbarians from the icy tundra have become big white sheep with delicious meat, and the real wolf pack comes from the thirty most elite Construct Knights of the North Wind Legion.
The Construct Knights followed behind the barbarian brigade like a pack of wind wolves, biting these huge and bloated teams bit by bit. When the barbarians finally realized that they had gone too deep into the province of Sloyt and wanted to shake off the pursuit of the Construct Knights and return to the icy tundra, they found that everything was so difficult. The way home was too long, and there were layers of obstacles on the way.
On the winter solstice of the Green Empire in 2587, the North Wind Corps in the northern province of Sloyt finally won the biggest victory in recent decades. Nearly 100,000 barbarians who entered the province of Sloyt were defeated by the North Wind Corps Construct Knights. These barbarians who lost their fighting spirit were scattered in the wilderness of the northern province. Many of them were hunted by the hidden falcon squad. The barbarians in Sloyt Province fled back to the ice and snow tundra from a few at the beginning, and turned into a full-line rout by the weekend of the second week after the winter solstice.
The North Wind Corps in Sloyt Province finally succeeded in driving a large number of barbarians out of the north.
According to incomplete statistics, more than 70,000 barbarian warriors fell on the way home.
…
I used my hands to peel off the crust of the hard snow. The snow hidden underneath was as crystal clear as white sugar. Under this layer of soft gravel-like snow, on top of a thick layer of black frozen soil, there grew lush needle-like wild onions, and a hint of new green like emerald emerged in the snow pile.
This kind of ice onion can only grow in the northern region, and only when the first snow in the cold winter covers the ground, will they sprout new buds from the frozen soil. With the subsequent heavy snow covering the ground, a closed environment suitable for the growth of ice onion is formed.
For many civilians in the northern province, ice onion is one of the few green leafy vegetables in winter. Whether it is cooking soup or frying meat, sprinkle a handful of ice onion crumbs on it when it comes out of the pot, and the unique delicious taste will be integrated into the soup at once.
Especially the yellow sheep soup will become particularly delicious, and Noah likes to drink this kind of broth very much.
…
After staying in the wild of Schloite Province for nearly a month, Noah has grown a light beard on his lips.
This month of life in the snow has gradually transformed Noah from a graceful young magician noble to an unkempt demon hunter.
He didn't have much to do every day. In addition to waiting for the barbarian warriors running in from outside the valley to fall into the trap, using fire magic to make the barbarians in the pit surrender, or directly trapping the barbarians in the pit, he only looked forward to having something delicious for dinner.
For the rest of the time, he had to hide in the snow cave with Shirley Newman to practice meditation.
More than a month of living in the wild in the northern border has allowed Noah to improve his magic level and become a fourth-level magician. The harsh environment has allowed Noah to calm down and practice, which is not a bad thing for him.
Shirley Newman accompanies Noah every day. As long as Noah is by her side, Shirley doesn't care whether she lives in a gorgeous palace or in a snow cave in the cold weather.
...
The barbarians were defeated across the board in the northern province. The barbarians around Natto City will have to cross more than 700 kilometers of mountain roads to trek to the south bank of the Benma River. However, they have to bypass the city of El, which is full of falcons, and the road is extremely bumpy.
The barbarian warriors went into the forests and tried to avoid the main canyon passages as much as possible, because many falcon squads and construct knights were ambushing around such important checkpoints, making the barbarians' way home extremely bumpy. Many barbarians went into the mountains and tried to open up a new way home.
Our team's ambush site was in an extremely remote valley. In addition to the dense pine forests, there was only a steep ridge like a cow's back. As long as the barbarian warriors walked into this mountainous area, unless they were determined to cross this dangerous ridge, they would have to pass through this valley.
Every day, there would be barbarians passing through this remote valley.
When the barbarians saw only a few large footprints left on the snow in the valley, they would breathe a sigh of relief at the mouth of the valley.
Recently, the barbarians' hunting life in the northern border was undoubtedly the most painful. They were chased by the construct knights and the falcon squad like stray dogs, fleeing everywhere.
Many barbarians did not dare to take the main road and went to remote valleys.
This valley is sparsely populated, and there are footprints of some companions passing through the valley. There are no other traces around, so they will be less vigilant and walk forward along the footprints left by the barbarians who passed by here before.
As long as they enter the valley, they will fall into my trap.
The terrain of the valley is like a huge funnel, but the inclined slope is covered with a thick layer of snow. The barbarians who enter the valley step on the inclined ice surface with one foot, and their bodies suddenly lose their center of gravity and fall down. They will slide into the pit along the ice path under the snow layer.
We guard outside the pit. Every time a barbarian falls in, Noah will stand on the edge of the pit with a slave contract magic scroll and ask these barbarians: surrender or die. If the barbarian refuses to surrender, he will become a target for Noah to practice fire magic.
And I control the ice magic to eliminate the traces, and then quietly wait for the next barbarian.
If two or three barbarians come to the valley at the same time, but only one barbarian falls into the trap, Kalancuo will take ten orc construct warriors to chase the other barbarians.
Every day, the ten orc warriors, led by Kalancuo, would go outside the valley to hunt barbarians. Their horsemanship was getting better and better, and the orcs could get something every day.
With Deborah scouting in the sky, few barbarians could successfully escape from the pursuit of these orc construct warriors.
In this icy and snowy environment, it was not easy to find fodder for war horses. In order to prevent the war horses from losing weight, Kalancuo would occasionally take the orc warriors back to Xinliu Valley to get some beans and grains mixed into the hay to feed the horses.
I didn't have much to do in the snow cave every day. In addition to rearranging the ice and snow traps, I had to draw magic pattern constructs on the white rock rhino hard leather armor and find a way to make dinner more delicious.
I lived in this snow cave for nearly a month. It was rare to have such ample time to concentrate on making magic pattern constructs. In just one month, I made 65 sets of white rock rhino hard leather armor's "Giant Bear Power" magic pattern suits in one go, and the number of orc construct warriors increased to 85 at once.
Working day and night to make this batch of magic pattern structures prompted me to constantly use meditation to restore my magic power. My magic has shown signs of breaking through the eighth level, but I don't want to enter the ranks of ninth-level magicians too early, so I can only find a way to suppress my magic power and make the magic power in the magic pool more condensed.
The magic pattern spider silk ingots in Xinliu Valley are piled up like a mountain. The oldest giant spiders have all died. Now only the batch of giant spiders we hunted in the spider camp last time are still spinning silk. It seems necessary to go to the Yelo plane again and hunt a batch of giant spiders to make up for the number of giant spiders in the silk reeling workshop.
The Yelo natives have been very quiet recently. The women of the Yelo natives take turns working in the silk reeling workshop. Only they can tolerate the sour smell in the cave. The men carry stones in the underground warehouse. Every day, the light rail mine car continuously transports stones from the quarry into the underground warehouse. Now these stones have filled several branch caves, and even the underground square has been stacked to the door of the underground wine cellar.
I haven't heard from Justus for a long time. When I was hunting barbarians in this valley, I also took the time to go to the Tanton City Inn in the Yello plane twice, but unfortunately I failed to see Justus both times.
I haven't seen him since he said he would follow several large adventure groups to capture the spider camp. It seems that the hunting operation must not be going well. Maybe something has happened.
This makes me a little worried. If I hadn't brought Noah to hunt barbarians in the North Valley, I would even want to take Kalancuo, Katarina and the tauren Luka back to Tanton City. I don't want Mr. Justus to have any accidents in the Yello plane. However, I asked the innkeeper about the situation of those adventure groups. Tanton City has not received any bad news. It seems that things are still under control.
As for the orc village on the ground in Xinliu Valley, it is now a mess.
Because so many people have suddenly increased, the old orc Zewang is a little overwhelmed, and the village needs to provide accommodation for the new orcs, so some more houses need to be built.
In addition, more than 200 barbarian slaves were captured from the northern province and sent to Xinliu Valley one after another. The initial resettlement task had to be done by Lao Zewang, and people had to be dispatched almost every day to send the barbarian slaves to the quarry.
Bernard is still in the mountains of Xinliu Valley, training the barbarian slaves who are assigned heavy crossbows, and he didn't say how long it would take for him to come back. In fact, I think it's better to conduct small-scale activities in the Black Forest of the Yello plane instead of conducting field training in the mountains of Xinliu Valley. At least he can help me catch a batch of giant spiders in the Black Forest.
As for the giant magic crossbow arrows in the blacksmith shop, they are facing the state of suspension of production. It is mainly because the giant crossbow arrows purchased from the blacksmith workshop in North Duisburg have all been processed. Only the two furnaces of Xinliu Valley Blacksmith Skin can rush to make these crossbow arrows day and night to provide some blanks for the magic pattern engraving machine.
As for the magic rune plate of the Fire Gathering Technique and the miniature tornado rune plate, they are still being processed day and night. These ordinary copper plate materials can be bought in North Duisburg as long as you have money, so I have a lot of them in stock.
...
In recent days, the number of barbarians passing through this valley has decreased significantly. Sometimes only three or two barbarians enter the valley all day long.
So I calculated the days and found that there were only ten days left before Tracy's wedding. In addition to the two days it would take to return to El City, I also needed to prepare some wedding gifts for Tracy.
I discussed with Noah and decided to end this winter barbarian hunting operation.
The team simply packed their bags after a hearty breakfast on the morning of that day and left this remote valley.
We ran for two days in the snowy wilderness before we saw the airport tower next to the El City Wall from afar.
Outside the East Gate of El City.
The two barbarian slaves pulling the sled completed their mission. Under the watchful eyes of the public, I had no way to open the portal of Xinliu Valley.
I could only take them to the outside of the East City Gate. Kalancuo asked the two barbarians with their hands bound to kneel in front of the Barbarian Jingguan Platform. Two orc construct warriors held the giant moon blade axe in both hands and chopped off their heads, and placed them on the Jingguan Platform with many barbarian heads.
I found that many falcon teams brought barbarian captives here for execution. This year's barbarian Jingguan is much larger than in previous years.
And many falcon team members gathered together, some talked excitedly, and some whispered quietly, but it seemed that these falcon teams had more or less gained something. Everyone was discussing the strategic layout of Grand Duke Jingyue this winter and how the North Wind Army drove the barbarians out of the North.
The North Wind Army defeated the barbarian brigade in the province of Schloit, which made the reputation of the Aili family in the province of Schloit reach its peak.
No one expected that, as we all know, several generations of the North Lords of the Aili family have been working hard for this, but unexpectedly, this thing was done by the young Duchess Jingyue. Aili.
