My Magic Age

The residence of the Seventh Battalion of the Troum Stronghold is in a house next to the southern wall of Troum City, which is less than 100 meters away from the southern wall. Once an emergency occurs, it will take no more than three minutes to get up from the bed, put on armor, pick up weapons and run to the top of the city.

This can be said to be the residence closest to the battle site in Troum City. Almost all the troops guarding Troum City were arranged by Earl Horace to be close to the city wall.

According to Earl Horace, even if the battle breaks out, our soldiers can still get up from their sleep and reach the top of the city faster than those spider warriors attacking Troum.

In this area, almost all the houses that can stand the war are stone houses made of red rocks. Red rocks are unique to Troum. The rock texture is tough, but it looks rusty. After being washed by rain, it looks even more dilapidated.

This kind of rock doesn't look very good, but the stone house built with it is extremely solid. It is said that a great magician scholar came to the Trum stronghold for three days to investigate these red rocks. The answer he gave was that these rocks are rich in iron, which makes these rocks look rusty. However, the magic black iron contained in this large open-air iron mine is not rich and has no mining value. However, these ores are very solid for building houses.

There are oil lamps in the main hall of the courtyard. In such a dark night, places with light always seem a little warm.

There is a basket of white bread on the dining table, sprinkled with a layer of fine and white icing, and the smell of wheat fills the whole room.

There are three candles on a candlestick, which keep shedding tears, flowing down on the base of the candlestick, and condensing a large piece of wax tears.

I took a table knife and sat quietly on the chair, cut the meat on the plate carefully, sandwiched it between the bread slices, spread a layer of sour and sweet strawberry jam, and ate dinner quietly.

I didn't expect that there would be enough food in the Trum stronghold again. Although these frozen meats and jams tasted like things that had been stored in the ice room for a long time, the soldiers in Trum City could still eat them at the moment. It seemed that the military logistics work here was still very good, at least the war reserve work was done very well.

Catalina sat at the table and remained silent.

Back in the barracks, Catalina naturally showed a strong sense of self-confidence, as if she had turned back into a commander in the barracks at this moment, straightened her back, and looked quite heroic.

Although I had become the most hated person by Count Horace outside the city of Trum, this did not affect the views of the defenders of the Trum stronghold on me. Many defenders still regarded me as a hero of Trum, because the Trum defenders were a separate system. Although these soldiers were currently under the control of Count Horace, they were not from the same lineage as Horace. Although they were coerced in military affairs, they did not buy into Count Horace's account in private.

So Catalina returned to Trum. Although she could not show her face in public, she was still very free in Trum and was still the highest commander of the Seventh Battalion of the Trum Guard.

Catalina's military position was not something that Horace could dismiss casually.

However, the atmosphere of this dinner tonight seemed a bit depressing. To be honest, it was Catalina's shocking assertion that the Trum stronghold was in danger that made the defenders of the Trum stronghold feel a little embarrassed. However, these people had obviously worked with Catalina for many years and knew Catalina's character well, so no one jumped up and cursed.

I think these people gave Catalina a lot of face. After all, the day before, the Count Horace who assisted in defending the city said with great pride that he would "live and die with Trum". On the contrary, the next day, the commander of the 7th Battalion, whose original duty was to guard the Trum stronghold, mentioned at the dinner table that the Trum stronghold was in danger and persuaded all the defenders to withdraw from the Trum stronghold. This was almost a great irony.

Fortunately, these colleagues in the Trum guard army understood Catalina and did not blame her for this.

Instead, someone stood up and comforted Catalina, saying, "Hey, don't be so depressed, okay! Look, Lord Horace swore on the tower that he would live and die with Trum. What does that mean? Our Trum situation is not as bad as you think. Give yourself some confidence, we will definitely be able to defend this city."

The speaker was Rogoff, the commander of the fifth battalion of the Trum garrison. After he finished speaking, he looked at me again. Those generals who had originally complained calmed down all of a sudden. Some people were ready to say something, but at this moment they closed their mouths, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and swallowed the words back into their stomachs.

Unexpectedly, Rogoff was a very thoughtful commander. Just a look made everyone understand that the person standing behind Catalina was actually me, and I was a magician noble of the Green Empire, enjoying many privileges in the Green Magicians. He was quietly telling everyone in a very subtle way that they should never offend an imperial magician easily.

Disraeli sat next to me and meticulously finished all the food on the plate. Then he wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, then sat up straight, coughed lightly and said, "Sorry, my friend, although I have no intention of encouraging the Spider-Man's prestige, but what I want to tell you is that their method of climbing over the mountains is actually much more terrifying than what we see. All spider warriors are masters of rock climbing. Their sharp spider legs are nailed deeply into the rock crevices, as if they are running on a flat road. The ten-meter-high city wall here cannot stop their progress at all. , those spider warriors are in the eastern mountainous area, and just ten spider warriors following us all the way cost me the lives of hundreds of warriors."

The Disraeli Knight is now considered a celebrity in Trum, because he is the largest army to reinforce the Trum stronghold in recent times, and it is also a heavy armored infantry regiment.

This heavy armored infantry regiment of 700 people was like a stream of fresh blood injected into the Trum stronghold, which suddenly increased the strength of the Trum stronghold by three levels. Although these sergeants directly served Count Horace, But the news is still very exciting.

Knight Disraeli is a close confidant of Count Horace, but he is also a personal friend of mine. These relationships seem a bit complicated. He actually dared to attend the private meeting of the defenders even though he knew that Horace hated me to the core. During the dinner that Caterina and I were entertained, on the one hand, Knight Disraeli was the staunchest supporter of Earl Horace, but on the other hand, he secretly revealed that he was not optimistic about the defense of Trum Stronghold. It seems that his whole person is a contradiction.

Hearing what Knight Disraeli said, people who felt that what he said made sense raised a question: "But, after leaving this fortress, where can we hide? Is it possible that the forest can be safer than here?" ”

This statement immediately aroused the echo of many other people. It seems that many people are still very optimistic about the defense capabilities of the Tarum stronghold.

Someone at the end of the dining table said: "There is a strong city wall here. There are many defensive equipment such as crossbows, trebuchets, and boiling oil on the city wall. We are wearing heavy armor and hiding behind the stone wall. If we do this, we can't defeat those spiders." Man, where can we win the war?"

"Boss, even if you and Mr. Jijia Magician stay safely in Trum City, there is no place safer than ours. Earl Horace will eventually leave here. He is an outsider after all. We want to hide two people, isn’t it easy?” The person who spoke was the acting battalion commander of the 7th Battalion. After Catalina transferred from the city to follow me and left Trum, the 7th Battalion elected a new commander. The leader, but it seems that he is a loyal follower of Katarina.

Rogoff, the commander of the fifth battalion, obviously had a good relationship with Katarina. At this time, he said again: "Yes! Katarina, just stay here peacefully. Lord Horace has us to deal with it."

Obviously the commander of the first battalion, Ludwig, is also a main combatant. He also said: "Rogoff is right, stay! Katarina, you are our warrior in Trum, no Which Trumman would reveal your information in front of Count Horace? If he is really so blind, he is our tenth battalion’s common enemy.”

Seeing someone stand up and make a clear statement, others at the table immediately expressed their stance: "Well, they are our common enemy."

"Stay! Catalina, you see, the warehouses in this city have enough food, there is a hidden spring on the mountain that can provide us with clean water, and here I am..." At this time, the quartermaster Felix. Frobisher took out a bunch of yellow and orange brass keys from his waist and threw them on the indigo wood table with a clatter. The keys with numbers printed on them were on the greasy dining table under the dim light. Gives off a warm glow.

Quartermaster Felix continued: "Our war reserves have filled ten warehouses. Even if the spiders destroy all the crossbows on the city wall, we can rebuild them on the city wall overnight. Arrange the bed crossbows, the spider people think they can use up all the crossbow arrows and rolling stones in our city, haha, let them dream!"

These exciting words suddenly enlivened the atmosphere at the dinner table. It seemed that Felix had been keeping the military reserve information of the Trum stronghold. At this time, Quartermaster Felix said these words, which undoubtedly gave everyone another reassurance. It seemed that most of the people here were the main combatants.

Katarina tried to make a final push, and said to everyone: "No, Rogoff, Felix, please listen to me. There are nearly a thousand Spider-Man warriors stationed outside our city, and there are at least four more." Spider Overseers, each spider warrior is almost as strong as the Construct Knights, and the four Spider Overseers have almost the same power as the leader of the Construct Knights. We simply cannot stop them. They made a strong attack."

I secretly pulled Catalina, but this stubborn girl was still a little unwilling. She wanted to save these colleagues who couldn't see that death was coming, so she still tried to persuade her: "If we leave now, it's still too late." , we can go north along the Black Forest and hike through the 400-kilometer forest area to reach Pereira City. Believe me, we have enough gold coins to buy tickets for the Pereira City teleportation station. I will take you back with me. Go Green."

There was a moment of silence on the dining table. Perhaps everyone was weighing the pros and cons at this time, but almost everyone here was the main combatant. They were optimistic about the city defense battle and did not think that the Trum stronghold would be lost.

Even Rogoff, the commander of the fifth battalion who has the best relationship with Katarina, agrees with this.

Rogoff jokingly touched his bald head and laughed obscenely. He said slightly proudly: "...But, Katarina, don't you think now is a good time to earn merit? If I can Kill those Spider Overseers in front of the battle, even just one, It is possible for me to use the captured black magic crystal to exchange for the status of a noble baron with the Grand Duke of Samoyed. Maybe I can also get a small piece of land. You know how remote our village is. If I can become a noble baron, , maybe he will become the most decent person in the village."

Quartermaster Felix also laughed: "Hey, then marry the most beautiful girl in the town, Rogoff, you T.N.D. can't be a bit promising, go and snatch back the little wife of the mayor of your town, who is it every night?" They all talk about the beautiful girl singing and washing clothes by the water? "

Rogoff's joking words revived the lively atmosphere of the dinner. He cursed at Felix without any scruples: "Get out of the way. By then, I will become a baron and I will know how to do it." Doing something that is disgraceful?"

Quartermaster Felix laughed: "Haha, don't you know that the mayor's little wife is the person you dream about every night? Could it be that just being a baron will make you forget your old lover and look for her? New love?"

I don’t know when they established their friendship. It can be seen that Felix and Rogoff supported Katarina at the dinner table. Although they did not agree with Katarina’s point of view, they resolved it very well. The embarrassment at the dinner table.

Then the dinner ended and everyone dispersed one after another.

Before Rogoff left, he winked at me quietly, and it was clear that he was conveying a message of goodwill to me.

On the contrary, when Felix left, he looked at me seriously and said nothing. This quartermaster, who looked to be over fifty years old, had a gray beard. He patted Caterina on the shoulder to express comfort. Then he turned around and left.

Catalina leaned weakly on the chair, raised her head slightly, closed her eyes and sighed softly helplessly.

I was the only one left in the restaurant. Through the soft candlelight, I saw Catalina's face looking a little disappointed. She looked at me faintly, as if she wanted to find the correct answer from me, and then asked me: "Jijia , Am I too persistent? Maybe I should have listened to Qige’s suggestion and let’s go back to Pereira City together!”

I smiled faintly at her and said, "But in that case, you will definitely be very unwilling!"

She stood up and stood next to the stone railing at the entrance of the restaurant, leaning on the railing and looking up at the city wall in the dark night not far away, and then said helplessly: "But now, looking at them... I am also unwilling to accept it. , I want to pull them back from the edge of the cliff, I really want to!”

In order to enlighten Catalina, who is a little depressed, I can only say: "In fact, it is not a bad choice to choose such an ending! Do you remember that on the Pai Plateau, the orc werewolf warriors believe that the best destination for warriors is They think it is an honor to die on the battlefield, and it is better than dying in the tent of the tribe. Perhaps the best destination for these Trum defenders is this Trum stronghold. For them, maybe This is an honor."

I didn’t want to care about the life and death of the defenders in Trum’s stronghold, so I enlightened Catalina like this. After saying these words, I also felt guilty...

Catalina turned her beautiful eyes and asked me with some confusion: "But I am also a member of the Trum city defenders. Why don't I feel this way?"

I said to her gently: "Because your heart is with me..."
