My Magic Age

In almost all battles between the northerners and the barbarians, the northerners never took prisoners, and the victorious side represented the right to live.

In some border towns in the north, these have evolved into an unwritten convention.

The same is true in the city of El, where all the new falcons are adhering to the traditions left by their ancestors and implementing them without compromise.

I want to build a mountain city in Xinliu Valley, and I need someone to work as a hard laborer in the quarry. At that time, I happened to learn how to make magic contract scrolls, so I tried to force some barbarians to become slaves and send them to the quarry in Xinliu Valley.

In the past four years, these barbarian slave teams have been growing unknowingly. So far, nine hundred barbarian warriors have become slaves in the Xinliu Valley quarry.

Although their lives are hard, they are very comfortable.

It was not until later that I was going to build a town outside Tandon City in the Yello plane. A town should have a guard army. I thought that if I armed these barbarian slaves and stationed them in the town of Trum in the Yello plane, at least I would not have to hire a mercenary group to strengthen the guard force of Trum Town.

As it turned out, this decision was very wise. After I equipped these barbarian slaves with heavy crossbows, the barbarian slaves played an extremely important role on the battlefield of the Yello plane.

Before coming to the Green Valley Forest, I deliberately concealed this barbarian slave army from Earl Desmond, and my apology afterwards was somewhat insincere, but Earl Desmond did not care about this defect. The victory of the war made him feel very good. He said to me: They are not barbarians now. They are your slaves and your personal property. The Green Empire protects the private property of the noble lords.

The corpses of spider warriors were scattered all over the forest. The black insect shells exuded a dark luster. Some barbarian slaves, led by Justus and the minotaur Luka, were collecting giant crossbows, black iron weapons, spider heads, etc. scattered on the battlefield.

Another group of barbarian slaves were carrying moon blade axes and cutting off the spider legs of spider warriors. They neatly tied the spider legs into bundles and stored them in a dry tree hole. Ice mist kept flowing out of the hole. It seemed that there were more than one "Frost" magic rune board inside.

Unexpectedly, these barbarian slaves became "Frost" rune boards. They were the first group of people who knew how to use the magic effect of "Frost" rune boards to store some frozen food.

In this forest after the rain, the rainwater in the forest merged into streams and continued to gather in the lowest places.

The rainwater was dyed light brown by the blood of spider warriors and indigenous warriors, which looked like horse urine.

There was a faint smell of blood in the woods. The bodies of the spider warriors were still dripping blood. The battlefield was covered with messy branches and vines. Some spider warriors who were shot by giant crossbows but not dead immediately roared in despair. The barbarian slaves who shuttled through the woods were their horrible nightmares.

They tried to use the spider legs covered with sharp spikes to force the barbarian slaves not to get close, but it was all in vain. The heavy axe chopped on the spider legs, making a crisp cracking sound.

Some of the spider warriors who were not dead retracted their spider legs under their bodies, and their bodies shrank together like a huge black rock. Unfortunately, in front of the barbarian slaves, these had no effect at all. The barbarian slaves would mercilessly kill the spider warriors with an axe. The spider warriors twitched all over, and the spider legs were pulled out from under the heavy body by the barbarian slaves and chopped off with an axe.

Justus and the minotaur Luka saw me standing with the construct knights of the North Wind Legion, so they led the barbarian slaves to me.

Seeing that we were soaking wet and everyone had traces of fighting, Justus smiled and said to me: "These spider warriors ran really fast. I thought it would be a tough battle. These barbarian slaves had not even finished shooting the second round of giant crossbows before they ran away. What kind of pressure did the Construct Knights give them to scare them like this?"

"These spiders underestimated the strength of the North Wind Legion's Construct Knights and sent seven spider commanders to intercept us. They rushed into the ice wall formation and were accidentally frozen in the woods. The Construct Knights only used one charge to harvest the lives of seven spider commanders..." I described the battle scene to Justus vividly.

Seeing that I was not injured, the minotaur Luka followed Justus and smiled foolishly.

He was wearing a black iron full-cover heavy armor with fine gold magic patterns, and his whole body looked like it was wrapped in an iron can. The knights of the North Wind Legion all looked at Luka's heavy armor. For them, if they wore such a heavy armor, they would not even be able to walk.

Earl Desmond's eyes fell on a barbarian slave. He first confirmed the slave collar on the barbarian slave's neck. After confirming that it was correct, he carefully looked at the heavy crossbow on the barbarian's back. After looking at it for a few times, he turned back and asked me: "Are these heavy crossbows modified from bed crossbows?"

I nodded and said to Earl Desmond: "Yes, these are all modified from bed crossbows by dwarf craftsmen in the workshop."

As I said that, I waved to a barbarian slave, indicating that he should take out his heavy crossbow to show Earl Desmond.

Earl Desmond stroked the detailed magic patterns on the bed crossbow, raised his head and asked me: "How many bed crossbows have you modified?"

I scratched my head and said with some embarrassment: "I have barely managed to scrape together eight hundred heavy crossbows for the time being. Some of them were removed from the city wall of Trum Town and will be reinstalled on the city wall in the future. "

He took a deep breath, and it seemed that he did not expect that I would have such a large number of bed crossbows, and said: "Ha! Eight hundred bed crossbows were modified at once, which is really a big deal! Even in the Imperial Capital, one bed crossbow The price is not much cheaper than a set of magic patterns, it is even more expensive, and it is difficult to buy. You actually bought 800 of them in one go! "

Earl Desmond was very envious of this.

I smiled and said to Count Desmond: "Actually, the cost is not that much. There are nearly 700 bed crossbows purchased in Tanton City. At that time, the outer city wall of Tanton City had been destroyed by Spidermen. After breaking through, a large number of scrapped bed crossbows were sold in the black market in the city, and I happened to buy them back. "

"The Duke of Samoyed built a large number of outposts between Blood Ring Stone City, Thunder Pillar City, Tanton City, Gurubashi, and Angelos, forming a strong defense line in the northern part of the Black Forest. The city of Pereira is surrounded in the center.”

"It's a pity that after the Nibru spider army went north, it destroyed the defense line built to resist the indigenous people. After the war, some broken military supplies were returned to various cities. In the past few years, the Duke of Samoyed has been working hard to manage this Hierro position. A comprehensive defense system, for which huge resources have been invested.”

"I guess there must be a lot of money spent on these bed crossbows, but the Duke probably didn't expect that the defensive front would be so vulnerable in front of the Nibru Spider-Man."

"It was under such circumstances that a large number of broken bed crossbows were collected in Tanton City. When the spider people attacked Tanton City in a large scale, the body parts under these bed crossbows were divided up by the rich people in Tanton City. , only the part of the bed crossbow that could not be moved or used was left idle in Tanton City, so I bought it all. "

"I only bought two hundred bed crossbows in the imperial capital." I finally said.

After Earl Desmond listened to my narrative, his eyes fell again on the large wooden barrel-like quiver behind the barbarian slave. He looked at the magic giant crossbow arrows in the quiver and continued: "Your heavy The Crossbow Corps is so extravagant that all the giant crossbow arrows equipped by the barbarian slaves are magic arrows..."

The way he looked at me was clearly a 'your family has a mine' expression.

In fact, according to Felites' introduction, there are indeed three rich mines around the town of Trum that have never been mined. One of them is right next to the town of New Trum. Each mine is a huge wealth. , but if you want to convert those mineral deposits into gold coins, you need to open at least a mining company in the small town of Trum.

"As I said, it's not difficult to open a rune board workshop in the imperial capital and make these magic giant crossbows." I said.

After listening to my explanation, Earl Desmond didn't say anything. Under the leadership of Justus, we walked towards the tree wall.

Some barbarian slaves were standing on the tree wall holding heavy crossbows. There was one every few dozen meters. These barbarian slaves were wearing Naqma black body armor. Looking from a distance, they looked majestic.

As for the indigenous people in the dense forest, they showed no expression of joy after victory. They shuttled through the dense forest and kept carrying the bodies of their companions on the battlefield back to the camp.

The sad expression on my face was far greater than the joy of victory. I looked over the tree wall and saw the huge pile of corpses in the indigenous camp. It seemed that all the indigenous tribes in the Green Valley jungle had suffered heavy losses, and many tribes had suffered heavy losses. It is likely that they no longer exist, and there are probably only a limited number of surviving indigenous people from a large tribe like Gilda.

According to Justice's estimation, there is probably only one surviving warrior from the Gilda tribe. This large indigenous tribe, which had a population of more than 100,000, was actually massacred by the spider-man army during this defensive battle. With only about ten thousand people left, it can be said that they suffered a genocide.

Justus told me that after the death of Elder Singer, the Gilda tribe quickly elected a new Grand Elder.

When asked about the name of the great elder, he smiled strangely at me and said, "This new great elder is respectfully called Elder Nathan."

"I seem to have heard this name somewhere..." I pressed my forehead with my hand and carefully searched for the photos of memories in the sea of ​​​​spirit.

However, Justus did not intend to keep the suspense and said to me: "The grandfather of the indigenous maid Coni next to you happens to be this elder Nathan."

I felt a little strange. Wasn't the great shaman from the Gilda indigenous tribe in power before this?

I couldn't help but ask Justus: "Oh! Wasn't it that the great wizard of the Gilda tribe led all the indigenous people to resist the Niburu spider people before?"

Justice's expression became a little strange, and he said to me in a squeaky voice: "That's true, but the current situation of this great witch is not very good, and he is temporarily unable to manage the specific affairs of the tribe."

At this time, we had reached the edge of the tree wall, and the barbarian slaves on the tree wall saluted me one after another.

I asked Justus: "What happened to the great witch? Was he injured in the battle?"

Justus was about to answer when a passage suddenly opened in the tree wall. A native warrior came out of the tree wall, bowed respectfully to me, and said in awkward Imperial language: "The Great Witch wants to meet the Lord. Please follow me."

I turned my head and looked at Justus, who nodded to me.

At this time, I saw that the Minotaur Luka also had a solemn face, so I followed the native warrior into the temporary archway of the tree wall with doubts. Catalina, Kalancuo, Morayaer, Minotaur Luka, and Justus followed me.

Earl Desmond and a group of Construct Knights were also behind me. After they walked into the tree wall, they found that the pile of corpses in the indigenous camp was much larger than they had imagined. The bodies of these indigenous warriors were cleaned, wrapped in a layer of green bark, and arranged in a pyramid shape. A newly promoted young tribal witch was dancing the sacrificial dance of "soul comfort" with a group of indigenous women in front of the corpse pile. She had a beautiful face, and her body and face were not tattooed with those strange magic patterns that only the great witch could master.

In my opinion, the strange magic patterns inherited from the great witches of all generations should be the life magic patterns explored by the witches of all generations in the indigenous tribe. They did not record them on bark or parchment, but directly recorded them on the great witches.

Seeing the newly promoted witch dancing the sacrificial dance, I had a bad feeling in my heart.

A group of indigenous warriors were dealing with the bodies of their companions in front of the corpse pile.

When I passed by, I happened to see a native dressed in elders' clothes smiling and nodding politely at me. His crown had been replaced with the style of Elder Singer's. I could guess without an introduction that this elder was Puyaka's grandfather, the current chief elder of the Gilda tribe.

I nodded slightly to him and followed the native warrior along the tree wall to the center.

Elder Nathan seemed to want to follow, but hesitated for a moment and finally gave up the idea.

I didn't expect to see the Gilda tribe's witch again in this way. She actually turned herself into a half-man, half-tree monster.

I stood in front of a giant tree and saw the giant tree wrapped up the witch with magic runes all over her body. The witch of the Gilda tribe seemed to be tied to the tree, and the bark blended with her body. She closed her eyes slightly as if she was sleeping against the tree. When I walked into the giant tree, she woke up slowly, and looked me up and down with eyes that were bright enough to almost penetrate the soul.

It seemed that she wanted to move the corners of her mouth and smile at me, but unfortunately she failed.

Then, the witch said to me in a very weak voice: "... Thank you for catching up with this battle at all costs. I thought we couldn't survive. Lord of the forest bless the people of the forest..."
