My Magic Age

"So...your Constructed Knights have been stationed in Pereira City recently?" I asked Zach.

Zach and Ernestine came to the Royal Academy of Magic to visit me, so I took them to sit in a bar near the west gate of the academy.

Zach watched with envy through the glass window the magic students from the academy walking on the street. Those magic students were wearing beige or light brown Misori magic robes, with their hair disheveled and pointed wizard hats on their heads. Walking out of the academy in twos and threes.

Zach was wearing a light blue water-film canvas shirt on his upper body. If it weren't for the 'Jenwei Xiufang' dark embroidered emblem on the cuffs, it would be difficult to tell that this shirt came from the top tailor shop in the imperial capital. His chest He does not wear any badges on his front, but the scars on his broad chest, the sword with dark gold magic patterns on his belt, the lazy and confident smile on his face, and the faint killing intent exuding from his body, all these will make people look at him at a glance Then he recognized his identity as a constructed knight.

Even though Zach's hard leather trousers with fine armor patches scratched the booth sofa, the waiter responsible for serving tea could only pinch his nose and pretend not to notice.

"Occasionally, I will take the construct knights in the regiment to the black forest between Pereira City and Tanton City to do some necessary reconnaissance. Those Niburu spider people have set up a large number of sentries in the black forest. Without the heavy armored infantry regiment and logistical support, our knights cannot go very far," Zach said with a gloomy look.

I thought that Pereira City was actively preparing for war, but I didn't expect that the troops huddled in Pereira City had no counterattack plan at all.

I asked Zach: "Isn't the Duke of Samoyed ready to take back the fallen cities in the periphery?"

Zach shook his head with a very ugly expression.

Ernestine sitting next to him had short, fine hair. Her face was very three-dimensional, her eye sockets were slightly sunken, her nose was straight, and her lips were sharp. She seemed to have the blood of ancient Vikings. Her upper body was tied with fine gold. The metal half-armor with magic patterns looks heroic.

She actually likes this low-cut style half-armor as much as Kalantso. This kind of armor can only protect the heart and abdomen, but cannot cover it. The chest exposes a large area of ​​skin, and needs an expanded hard leather shoulder pad to wear it. , otherwise this kind of half-body armor like an iron hoop will compress the chest so that people can't breathe.

Ernestine explained to me: "The main reason is that the opinions of the various lords in Durva Province cannot be unified. After the war party suffered two defeats, it no longer has any convincing power in the Durva Lords Council. I He and Zach wanted to lead the Constructed Knights to open the passage from Pereira City to Tanton City. This matter was delayed for a month and had to be discussed at the Lords Council every day. "

She shrugged helplessly, with a helpless expression.

"However, as far as we know, the number of Niburu Spider-men scouts in Pereira City has been significantly reduced recently." Ernestine held a cup filled with ale in both hands, looked at me and said, "This There has been no large-scale fighting in the past two months, so we speculate that something might be holding back the Nibru tribe’s spider-men’s attack.”

She glanced at Zach next to her and said: "Zach guessed that it should be the Hierro indigenous people south of the Black Forest, but I think those indigenous people have long been disabled by the Nibru spider people, and they should not have such strong fighters. Maybe it’s the Niburu spider people who are clearing out the sub-dragon nests on those pillar mountains.”

Zach withdrew his gaze. His profile was very similar to that of the Duke of Samoyed, except that the deep layers of his skin had some dark cyan color. I only saw this kind of skin color on the orcs in the Pai Plateau. Dad Yao Shuojiao is not frozen in Guangdong, An Yan is worried about it, and it is cut off Use a weapon to stir up the leech, and the shore is the shore, and the plan is to admonish the enemy. Xian Na looks at the squid's sincere admonishment, Zheng  Can's apology, and looks at the worm's head. �

Ernestine raised her head and looked at me. Now her mentality was much better than before. At least she could look at me very calmly. She said to me: "Jigga, tell me about your visit to Hierro last month." Let’s meet! You entered the Hierro plane with Princess Yingli and Le Die, and you didn’t come to see Zac and I when you passed by Pereira City. Why did you suddenly think of coming to the Hierro plane? Hunting the Spider Overseer?"

I had long thought that the topic between us would definitely end here, so I told Zach and Ernestine about the tragic experience of Princess Ledie in the Hierro plane.

I said to both of them: "This matter started from last summer. The dragon that Princess Ledie had raised since she was a child died at the hands of the spider-man governor on the plane of Hierro for some reasons. This made her always It was difficult to untie the knot, so in order to erase the shadow in Princess Ledie's heart, Prince James decided to let Ledie lead a team of construct knights to hunt down a spider-man warlord in the plane of Yero. "

Everything has an original reason. Zach and Ernestine also wanted to know the reason why we went to the Hierro plane to hunt the Spider-Man Overseer. However, they did not expect that the cause of this matter turned out to be the heart of Princess Ledie. A knot that I can’t let go of.

I recounted: "It happened last month, when Prince James found me. At that time, the Royal Academy of Magic had just started. Yingli and I still had many compulsory magic classes to take at the academy. Originally, I never thought about going to the Yero plane.”

Zach asked me: "Then why did you change your mind?"

I said a little embarrassedly: "Prince James thought that I had been practicing in the Hierro plane for a period of time, and at the beginning of the year, I sent several followers into Tanton City in the Hierro plane. In order to prepare for the establishment of a special They are collecting information from all over the town of Rum and are very familiar with the situation around Tanton City, so James suggested that Ying Li and I go to Hierro with the hunting team. "

"You and Princess Yingli accepted Prince James's suggestion?" Ernestine asked me.

I nodded and said with a smile: "Ying Li and I finally agreed to James' proposal and went to Hierro with Count Reitz, Jason Knight and their first bodyguard team."

Zach praised me with admiration: "The South Wind Legion's first bodyguard construct knight squad is truly well-deserved!"

Ernestine also praised: "He actually went deep into the enemy-controlled Black Forest area alone, captured a spider-man warlord alive, and brought him back safely!"

Zach hesitated for a moment and said to me: "Actually, our Duerva Legion also had a plan to hunt down the Spider Overseer, but it failed one after another, and no one was willing to mention it anymore. "

It seemed that they both agreed that it was Count Reitz and Knight Jason who subdued the Spider-Man Overseer.

Ernestine raised her delicate eyebrows and asked me: "Giga, are you really planning to build a town in Trum?"

I patted my chest and said, "Of course it's true. That's the territory I bought for a thousand magic crystals. How could I give up such a large and rich territory so easily?"

Zach and Ernestine both frowned and seemed to disapprove of my decision.

"But it's not like you don't know the current situation on the Hierro plane. Today's Tanton City can't even protect itself, so how can it possibly take care of your Trum Town." Zach frowned and spoke to me seriously. said.

"It's just slowly building up!" I said to Zach.

Ernestine, who was standing next to her, immediately thought of another point. She asked me: "By the way, you said that your followers have been collecting information about the surrounding Nibru tribe spiders in Tanton City. There are some spiders in Tanton City over there. What's new?"

I smiled and asked her: "Shouldn't you get this kind of information from Knight Disraeli? He is now responsible for guarding Tanton City and knows the situation there best."

Zach waved his hand, put one hand on his forehead, and said distressedly: "The Disraeli Knight is almost a war fanatic. He has always advocated the assembly of thirty construct knights, starting from Pereira City. Pushing southward until reaching the southern area of ​​the Black Forest, Recover all the lost land. Recent intelligence said that the Niburu tribe could no longer be seen around Tanton City. It also said that these Niburu tribe spider people had completely evacuated the area around Tanton City, and Samoyed was asked to send five teams. The heavy armored cavalry regiment regained the lost ground of Tanton City."

Then he said with a grimace: "Anyone who dares to make such remarks now is a heretic in the eyes of the Lords of Durva. They are eager to send Knight Disraeli to the stake. How can they believe him?" That information.”

Ernestine added at the side: "If no one except him was willing to guard Tanton City, I think his status as city lord might have been replaced by the Lords Council long ago."

I asked frankly: "Is that why the magic airships and supplies leading to Tanton City continue to decrease?"

Zach looked embarrassed and said to me angrily: "The magic airship and supplies bound for Tanton City were actually distributed by the Logistics Department of the Duke's Palace. The supplies on the ship were probably Disraeli Knights." Raised through various channels, some of the money came from his own pocket, some of it was secretly donated by some of the war lords, and some of it came from the lords who fled from Tanton City to Pereira City. They raised it privately.”

"It's just that people's confidence in recovering Tanton City is gradually decreasing, and it is becoming more and more difficult to raise a whole ship of supplies. After all, no one is willing to keep spending money to fund such an isolated city with no hope of recovery." He talked slightly. In one breath, after all, he, the leader of the Constructed Knights, had no control over this matter.

"You are so pessimistic about the future situation?" I looked at Zach and Ernestine in surprise and said to them.

The two of them looked at each other again and nodded slowly to me. Zach said: "Unless Prince of Wales and Prince James' strategy for the Lochi plane is changed to a strategy for the Hierro plane, then we hope that this year Recover the entire Black Forest before summer. Otherwise, I advise you to shelve your plan to rebuild the town of Trum."

"Actually, have you ever thought about uniting with some of the aborigines in the Black Forest?" I think Zach and Ernestine said. In fact, I really want to tell them the secret of the ancient tree of war. If their construct knight If the group can get help from those ancient trees of war, then the balance of victory will tilt to their side.

"You mean those Hierro natives?" Before I could say anything, Zach said with disdain.

I just thought that Elder Zinger had repeatedly told me not to reveal the secrets of the ancient trees of the Green Valley War, so I said: "Yes, I think they should also want to take these Niburu spider people away at this time." Drive out Hierro."

Zach sneered and said, "Come on, what use can those Hierro natives do besides serving as food for the Spider-Man and cannon fodder on the battlefield?"

It seems that Ernestine and Zach have the same idea. They didn't listen to what I said just now.

At this time, Ernestine said to me: "Ji Jia, if you can help us persuade Prince James's South Wind Legion to go on an expedition to the Yello plane, Zach and I can propose to the Durva Lords' Council to give you this part of the entire Tanton City as your private territory."

"I say you are really... willing to spend money!" I looked at Ernestine and Zach in astonishment. I didn't expect them to promise me a city.

But I still refused, because I knew it was impossible to persuade James to change the battle plan at this time.

I said to them: "James and Wells' plan this year is to recapture the Lochi plane, and they have been preparing for at least three months. Most of the supplies have probably arrived at the Lochi plane."

Then I thought of Marquis Haslaber. Although he was injured, it should not affect his leading the Construct Knights to the Lochi plane in a few days.

I added, "In the next few days, there should be 25 elite knights assembled by 17 small lords heading to the Rocky plane."

I decided to reveal some inside information to Zach to let him give up this unrealistic idea, so I said, "The most important thing is that the waterways and tributaries of the Rocky plane are connected in all directions. For Wales, this is the basis for victory. Don't think he will change his mind. You don't know that there is also the will of His Majesty Charles, and the Angelbould royal family has invested heavily in building ten ships for this expedition. This matter is destined to be unchangeable."

Zach and Ernestine showed frustration on their faces, drank a sip of beer dully, and whispered, "It seems that we have to continue to hold on. After Prince James wins the Rocky plane, the Yello plane will have the hope of regaining lost territory."

"In fact, we don't have to wait until then. Maybe I can think of other ways." I said to Zach, and asked the waiter to refill his glass.

"What can you do?" Zach asked me suspiciously, then his eyes lit up and he gave himself a definite answer: "Oh, the Benma River should be open at this time. Do you want to persuade Duke Jingyue to mobilize the North Wind Legion to expedition to the Yelo plane? Of course, this is not bad!"

"..." I looked at Zach speechlessly.

But being looked at by his expectant eyes, I could only bite the bullet and say: "I will write to Duke Jingyue and try to see if I can convince her to send out her Construct Knights. After all, she was seriously injured in the expedition to the Kenda plane last year. I hope this incident will not cast any shadow on her heart."

"Writing a letter to talk about this is too perfunctory. I think you should go to the Grand Duke's Mansion in Sloyte City in person. This will make it more likely to convince Duke Jingyue." Zach said.

Ernestine and Zach were busy with official duties, and they had to visit some small lords who had constructed knights, trying to persuade them to go to the Yello plane to make war money, but under this situation, probably no one was willing to take the constructed knights to the Yello plane.

At night, I took a magic caravan to Alia's house. When I passed by the mansion of Marquis Hasa, Quentin's distant relative, I found that magic caravans came out of the manor, and a large group of constructed knights also rode war horses and lined up to leave. Judging from this situation, after Prince George and Quentin were sent to Qiyan City, Marquis Hasa probably had the idea of ​​leaving the imperial capital.
