My Magic Age

The Constructed Knights camp of the North Wind Legion is stationed on a gentle slope south of Durva City. The reason for being stationed here is that there is a sweet water well at the foot of the hillside.

The sky is blue and the clouds are white, the hillside is covered with a thick layer of alfalfa, and a few white butterflies are flying among the flowers.

Durwa in May is the blooming season of alfalfa, and the entire hillside is covered with small pale yellow flowers that look like stars, with the aroma of green grass and fresh flowers.

Stepping on the soft green grass, I saw hundreds of construct knights holding shields and knight epees in their hands on the field in front of the wooden fence of the camp in the distance, repeatedly making defensive postures and swinging swords.

On the east side of the grassland, teams of construct knights rode war horses and kept gliding around the field.

A fully established Constructed Knights has about five hundred Constructed Knights, and each knight will be accompanied by a retinue, a war horse and a mule. This means that the ten construct knights not only have 5,000 construct knights and 5,000 followers, but also nearly 10,000 mules and horses in the stables of the camp. These animals need to drink a lot of fresh water every day and eat. Drop a lot of food.

Durwa Province is a major province of animal husbandry. This vast land is dotted with hundreds of pastures. It is easy to buy some high-quality golden alfalfa in the trading market of Durwa City. The knights' horses also need to add some beans and grains to the forage to ensure that the horses do not lose weight.

As for the mules responsible for carrying cargo in the military camp, their treatment is much worse. They usually need to carry some supplies and rations, and sometimes they also need to carry the subordinates wearing mail and carrying crossbows.

The knight camp with a scale of 10,000 people looked spectacular. From a distance, it looked like a noisy town. The flag of the North Wind Legion at the entrance of the camp was flying fiercely in the wind.

The knights have to carry out basic training every day to maintain their condition.

I followed Zach and Ernestine to the entrance of the North Wind Legion's military camp, where we met the patrolling guards of the Constructed Knights, and they took us to Earl Desmond's camp.

Earl Desmond was signing some documents in the camp, and there were several construct knights standing beside him. They looked like some senior generals in the knights. When Earl Desmond saw Zach and I walking into the camp, he said The knight captains in the camp said: "Look who has come to our camp! Magician Jijia, it is really a joy to see you here."

The construct knights around me heard my name and looked at me in surprise, with their eyes clearly showing 'So you are Jijia Magician'.

Three construct knights came out of the crowd, walked up to me and hugged me one after another. One of the construct knights said to me kindly: "Magic Jijia, it was you who saved us on the fishing lake. The life of the whole group, when you were still so young, I knew that you must be a person with powerful magical talent."

"Thank you... thank you for traveling all the way to Durva Province, and thank you for everything you have done for the freedom of the Hierro plane." I said to the officers of the Constructed Knights of the North Wind Legion. .

The construct knights standing in the tent all showed proud expressions when they heard what I said, and several knight commanders quickly said to me:

"We obey the will of the Duke and are very willing to serve you, Magician Jijia."

Earl Desmond coughed lightly, tapped the walnut table with his knuckles, and said to the knight captains: "Okay everyone, hurry up and prepare as we said before. !”

He turned his head and glanced at Zach and Ernestine, me, and said kindly: "Let me entertain the magician Jijia and the two young leaders of the war faction in Durva Province."

After Earl Desmond said these words, the knight captains left the tent one after another, leaving the space for us.

An adjutant beside Earl Desmond took out a few chairs from the corner and hastily packed up the only desk in the tent. A young attendant brought us several cups of slightly bitter black tea, De Earl Smond looked at me with a smile and said: "Count Jijia, according to the Duke's previous instructions, I will take you to familiarize yourself with all the knights in this military camp in the next two days and construct the knights." The regiment is in your hands, and the Constructed Knights will completely obey your command!"

I didn't expect that Earl Desmond was going to hand over the command of ten Constructed Knights to me so soon. I hesitated and refused: "No, not yet! Earl Desmond, I need It takes a certain amount of time to learn how to be a commander.”

Recently, I have to keep an eye on Kalantso and her orc knights. They go deep into the southern area of ​​the Green Valley Jungle to contain the spider-man army there. I must be by her side anytime and anywhere to ensure that they are picked up at the most critical moment. Return to the underground cave in Xinliu Valley.

When Earl Desmond heard what I said, he nodded slightly and said to me meaningfully: "I will help you familiarize yourself with everything in the military camp as soon as possible."

When I passed the back garden of the Duke of Samoyed's Mansion, I saw the mountains of supplies, but I was a little worried that the supplies in the Hierro plane were not adequately prepared.

So I asked Zach: "How are the preparations in Pereira City?"

Zach is the kind of aristocratic knight who can never tell lies. He didn't expect that I would turn the topic to this all of a sudden, and repeated: "Military supplies?"

I nodded: "Yeah!"

Zach scratched his head in pain. It seemed that he was not good at logistics.

He glanced at Ernestine, and then said to me: "Currently, almost more than half of the resources in the Hierro plane are gathered in Pereira City. I have applied for supplies from above for forty Constructed Knights. Even the logistics and baggage regiment has been recruiting troops in Pereira City, so we should not extend the supply line too long. "

The main war faction in Durva Province has gathered a total of thirty Construct Knights in Pereira City. Zach said that they have prepared military supplies for forty Construct Knights, which is obviously prepared for the North Wind Legion Construct Knights. of.

I asked Zach: "Where is the heavy armored infantry regiment under the Duke?"

I think the heavy armored infantry regiment in Durva Province should at least send out a few battle groups. The soldiers of those heavy armored infantry regiments are good at positional warfare.

Zach's face turned slightly red and he said with some guilt: "Each infantry regiment has a corresponding defense zone. Those regiments are mainly controlled by conservatives. They want to guard the last city of the Green Empire in the Hierro plane—— City of Pereira.”

I immediately understood what Zach meant. He couldn't command those heavy armored infantry regiments at all.

I then asked Zach: "Zach, do you have a specific battle plan at the moment?"

"Of course, Jijia!" Zach said without hesitation.

It seemed that he was prepared. Zach stood up from his chair, took out a roll of maps from his arms and spread it flat on the table, flattening the four corners with a water glass.

I saw the marks on the map that were drawn with pencils and then erased. It seemed that Zach had used this map for some discussion.

He took out a red and blue pencil in his hand, puffed out his chest and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, let me introduce to you our strategic intentions this time."

Zach drew two red and blue lines on the map, starting from the city of Pereira, starting from the east and west routes, and ending at the Duke of Samoyed's easternmost city of Angelos on the plane of Hierro, and The westernmost Leizhu City said:

"Restricted by the supply line, our initial plan is to divide the forty Construct Knights into two expeditionary forces in the east and west. I will lead fifteen Construct Knights and 25,000 retinues from Pereira City. All the way to the west, Passing through Blood Ring Stone City, he finally arrived at Thunder Pillar City. Ernestine led fifteen knights and another 25,000 retinues, walking east from Pereira City, passing through Gurubashi City, and finally arrived. Angelos City.”

Then, Zach glanced at Earl Desmond and me and said:

"As for the North Wind Legion led by Jijia and Earl Desmond, they can first clean up the Spider Man stronghold in the forest near Pereira City to familiarize themselves with the environment of the Hierro plane and the hot, humid and rainy climate. If the expeditionary force encounters obstacles along the way, the Constructed Knights of the North Wind Legion will support them from behind.”

There is actually no battle plan for Tanton City, which makes me a little angry.

I asked Zach very directly: "Why didn't you consider Tanton City, which is the southern gate guarding the northern Black Forest? To go to the southern part of the Black Forest, starting from Tanton City is the shortest way!"

Zach and Ernestine looked at each other, obviously knowing that I would ask this question.

Zach wiped his palms on the hem of the mail, moved closer to me, and whispered to me:

"Tanton City? More than half of that city has been destroyed by the Niburu Spiders, and the most important military stronghold, Trum, has long been destroyed. Our troops along the route cannot get any supplies, and all supplies are lost. It needs to be transported continuously from Pereira City. If it is divided into three supply lines, it will put too much pressure on our logistics group. "

Seeing me sitting there indifferently, he bit the bullet and continued:

"After repeated discussions with the military, we agreed that after opening up the east and west fronts, our expeditionary force will form a pincer attack on Tanton City. We will set out from Leizhu City and Angelos City at the same time, and finally recover Tanton City, in this way, the territory originally owned by us in the Hierro Plane will be completely recovered. In fact, our initial goal was to recover the Blood Ring Stone City, Thunder Pillar City, Gurubashi City, and Angelos City. Four cities.”

Obviously he knows what I care about, what Tanton City means to me, and he also knows a little about my building a town in the Trum area of ​​Tanton City.

But there is no content related to Tanton City in his battle plan, which is not in my personal interests.

I invited the Northern Wind Legion Construct Knights from the Sloit Province to come to the Hierro plane to help. It is impossible to just experience a free tour.

Zach took a sip of tea and continued to say to me: "Please don't worry about your Trurum territory. Our suggestion is that you can postpone the construction of Trurum Town. Your Majesty the Duke promised to build it in Blood Circle Stone City or Gurubashi City will compensate you for a territory about the same size as the Trum region, and will guarantee that there will be two small towns with various facilities on that territory.”

I rubbed my eyebrows with my fingers in annoyance. They talked about compensation so quickly. It was obvious that Tanton City was not included in their plans.

Ernestine, who was sitting next to Zach, did not interrupt from beginning to end. He sat upright in his chair. The temperament cultivated in the army would never go away no matter what.

I took a long breath, clenched my fists and said to Zach: "We will handle the supplies needed by the North Wind Army ourselves. We don't need the logistics and supplies from Pereira City!"

Under Zach's stunned eyes, I then said to Earl Desmond:

"Count Desmond, I need you to bring the Constructed Knights to Tanton City in the Hierro plane. I will greet you there."

When Earl Desmond heard what I said, he looked at me again and said without hesitation:

"Tanton City, okay. Once we reach Pereira City, I will lead the knights there immediately."

My guess was correct. Earl Desmond was Duke Jingyue's staunchest supporter.

So under this situation, he would support my decision without hesitation.

Then, he took out the scale and drew the marching route on the map with concentration, while saying to himself: "Let me calculate, even if it is a dense black pine forest, it can be calculated based on the marching speed of our knights. , it will take about a week and a half to arrive at Tanton City.”

I frowned and suddenly thought of the path Qige and I took on foot through the Black Forest last summer.

I said to Count Desmond: "If you can rent a magic airship in Pereira City, try to rent a magic airship. Now the Yaron clan in the Hierro plane has almost been slaughtered by the Nibru Spider-men, and there are no traces in the sky." There will be big guys like this disrupting the route again. This is the safest route. I will bear all the expenses incurred and all the supplies needed in the future."

Earl Desmond nodded, with a hint of surprise that could not be concealed in his dark blue eyes.

He probably didn't expect me to say that at all, so he showed that look in his eyes.

I took the red and blue pencil out of Zach's hand and drew a new line on the map, leading directly from Pereira City to Tanton City, then to the Green Valley Jungle, and finally the arrow pointed to the southern part of the Black Forest. area.

I said to Zach: "My strategic target is not Tanton City. I will lead the construct knights of the Northern Legion to set off from Tanton City. I will go all the way south to conquer the knights of the Duke of Samoyed." The southern forest that I have never set foot on. According to the "Plane Expedition Lord Protection Law" of the Green Empire, one-third of those territories will belong to the Green Empire, one-third will belong to the Duke of Samoyed, and one-third will belong to me."

Zach and Ernestine both opened their mouths, and they both asked me in unison: "Jijia, are you preparing for a third-line war?"

I did not answer their questions, but turned to ask Count Desmond: "Count Desmond, do you dare to make a big bet with me? I want to go to those forest areas that did not originally belong to us!"

Count Desmond had a confident look in his eyes and said to me: "Follow your will, Count Guiga."

When I saw him speaking so firmly, I felt a little relieved. With the support of the new force of the Northern Wind Legion Constructed Knights, the Hierro indigenous people and the ancient war trees in the Green Valley Jungle were facing great challenges. Only then can the crisis be resolved.

I subconsciously touched the key of power on my chest and said to Count Desmond: "In fact, those spider warriors are weaker than the barbarians on the ice and snow tundra, and I have recently summarized a set of black forest survival techniques. The law, I believe the same applies to Durva’s Constructed Knights.”

After that, I took out two bottles of ointment from my magic pocket. One bottle is applied to the body to avoid bites from all poisonous insects, snakes and ants in the Black Forest. The other bottle is used to treat the hot and humid environment in the Black Forest. Skin diseases under...
