Out of the cage

In the year 573 of the Holy Shield Calendar, Eryuan set off with the letters from the Karal mages, starting a new journey.

In their letters of recommendation, the mages of Kalal concluded that Eryuan, a graduate of the profession, was "quick in mind and full of vitality."

In short, what the Karar mages mean to the kingdom is: There are no "inferior products" among us who come out, so we can make money.

As a student who has been studying in Kalar for one year, Eryuan is like a hairy crab that has been soaked in the water of Yangcheng Lake for a few days. His worth has doubled. When he came, he was wearing linen clothes, and when he left, he was already wearing a tight cotton velvet jacket and chest protector. , and the grass green cloak on his body.

The green cloak helps hide and can be used as a quilt to keep warm at night. Of course, it does not have the magical effect of assisting meditation or restoring magic power. As for the weapons on his body, there is a short bow and a dagger.

With this equipment, Eyuan, who is easily satisfied, thinks that Kalal is treating him well. Eyuan: When I left the village, I didn’t even have novice clothes.

On the way to his new inauguration, Eryuan met a caravan, spent two silver coins to hire a car, and headed towards the Kingdom of Lunos together.

Along the way, Eryuan looked at the flowers, plants and trees on the roadside, and was confused for a moment in a daze. "Change the world?" Eryuan doesn't have much idea at the moment, he just wants to live a meaningful life.

In the bonfire at night, Eryuan held his own short bow. By controlling the phase of the bow string so that the tension on it was different, he could vibrate out several musical notes. Eryuan used the technique of playing cotton and started to play the song "A Laugh in the Sea" for everyone.

After the performance was over, Eryuan was already recognized as a bard. One of the caravan members, Gu Liang, kissed him after dancing. Before Eryuan could react, he kissed him on the cheek. Eryuan, who had been taken advantage of, smiled stupidly.

…The journey was very peaceful. Some petty thieves did not intercept the caravan after seeing its large size…

Lunos Iron Stone Fortress, this city is a large military camp. The city wall is formed by stacking various stones and melting them together using the stone melting technique.

Eyuan waited outside the fortress for an hour. As the bell on the bell tower rang, the city gate fell with the click of the mechanical sling. When the suspension bridge that could allow two carriages to run parallel fell, the huge iron gate Eyuan's pupils dropped with great pressure. The metal on both sides of the city gate was thicker than a horse's leg.

During the interrogation by the city gate official, Eyuan took out the pass certificate given to him by Karar. Of course, the certificate was useless to the soldiers at the door. They didn't recognize it. They could only see the magic flash between Eryuan's fingers when he cast a spell to carve "Visit Here" on the city wall, and quickly informed his superior.

A civil servant who was the lord's affairs officer, after confirming that Eryuan was a spell caster from Kalal, brought Eryuan to the mysterious holy place in the fortress.

Eryuan entered the mysterious palace where spellcasters were trained in this city. The model imitating a celestial body in the center also began to rotate, and a new rotating star lit up.

With the twinkling of this new star, Eryuan also felt a magical connection. Marked the city's mage organization's approval of Eryuan's recruitment.

Eryuan was very happy in his heart: "Hey, there is also a system here."

As this building structure rotates, it will inject enough magic power into the spellcasters in the military camp and distribute magic power to every spellcaster stationed here. And each spellcaster knows his own magic quota through the star spinning on the mysterious holy land.

As a new mage, Eryuan was treated well by the city lord. At least at dinner, a chicken was placed in front of Eryuan's table. In this medieval era, this was already the greatest sincerity of the lord, Corporal Lixian. .

It’s just this chicken! Eyuan stared at the unplucked hair and the raised chicken butt, wondering if he should braise it?

However, Eryuan looked at the enthusiastic host and felt that now was not the time to show off his cooking skills.

After eating this meal, Eryuan decided to make some homemade sauces and side dishes for later use. Eryuan's comment: This chicken is overcooked and will fill your teeth. There is also chicken soup and chicken offal. I won't throw it away for you.

The kingdom is very large. Judging from the map, this area to the west of the mainland mountain range is almost three to four million square kilometers, and the various territories are dotted on the map. Magicians can only rely on the teleportation array to convey the kingdom's orders to various territories.

Therefore, the kingdom only has a feudal system to govern each territory, which requires lords from various places to regularly supply troops to the kingdom. The number of military weapons supplied to the kingdom by lords from various places is often determined according to the size of the title. The number of troops ranges from forty to one hundred and fifty.

This includes mages, infantry, and knights.

The capital area of ​​the kingdom, which is the king's territory, occupies more than 200,000 square kilometers of fertile land, and the total number of troops gathered is only 10,000 or 20,000.

With a radius of two to three million square kilometers, there are only so many people in the Human Center City Corps. Generally speaking, this is similar to the situation of the Saturday Division during the Western Zhou Dynasty in China.

At the beginning, the Zhou Dynasty was not based on subduing people, but had a strong military force like European kings. Each division of Zhou Dynasty had 3,000 men, a total of six divisions, until King Zhao of Zhou conquered the south. As a result, in 977 BC, King Zhao of Zhou attacked Chu and did not return from his southern tour. After they were all destroyed in the Han River, he had to start exporting the ideology of "ethics" and rely on the power of the princes. As for how the Saturday Division was destroyed? The gang of old men from the ancient Jing and Chu Kingdom brought trouble to the Zhou Dynasty, but they didn’t leave a single word of record.

Returning to the topic, Eryuan is here now to go to the core area of ​​the kingdom with the lord's third son to assume his obligation to guard the kingdom's borders.

Therefore, Eyuan had to leave after staying in this fortress for less than a month.

Of course, during this period of time, Eryuan bought a basket of beans and a bag of salt in the market, fermented them, made the beans into tofu and fermented them until they grew hairy, then wrapped them in spices and dried them in the sun, put them into ceramic jars, and poured them into Marinate with wine and sugar. Cans of bean curd are made.

As a Chinese talent, before going on a business trip, you have to bring some pickles that you have prepared for your meals.

After Eryuan made all preparations for departure, he came to the military camp where swords were being rubbed. A cavalryman came over and issued the military order issued by the city lord. Order all team members to pack their bags immediately and prepare to set off.

Eryuan, who had just arrived at the military camp, was inexplicably placed in the ranks of battle mage before he handed in his resume.

Although Eryuan was not sure whether he should accept this order, he still followed the trend and set off with these soldiers wearing armor. This is the feudal army. If you are lucky, you will not be able to escape.

Eryuan took out strips of cloth from his space backpack, tied a set of straps on his calves, and started to trot. Only later did Eryuan realize that Master Fa could ride in a car, and he ran so fast that no one caught him. Be the Dharma Master.

The war broke out suddenly. As for who the target is, only the lords in the city know now.

During the march, Eryuan discovered that the commander of the team had consciously let several soldiers walk behind him, or behind him to be precise. Eryuan inquired and learned that this was to protect the safety of the mages.

Of course, I'm guessing with a villain's heart: This does not rule out keeping an eye on the back of the team to prevent someone from deserting.

It wasn't until he arrived at the station and the night cooled down that Master Wei put on his robe to keep warm, that the soldiers recognized him as a spell caster.

Because the robe worn by Eryuan means that it belongs to a spell-casting unit with a special status. There are two symbols embroidered on the robe, indicating two primary skills: healing and dispersion. Soldiers with a little experience understand the importance of wet nurses.

Eryuan knows medical skills, but on the path of a mage, he still adheres to the wild style of going his own way.

Look at Eyuan's style of painting. He has an armed belt (a belt with a buckle) wrapped around his waist. Several slightly larger magnesium bullets similar to grenades are pinned to his chest. There are rows of bullet-like magic capsules, like machine gun belts. It is still hanging on the body, and it is incompatible with the magical world. On the contrary, it is like a military team behind enemy lines.

When Eryuan's troops were walking forty kilometers away from the Iron Stone Fortress of Lunos, they met other teams along the way, and they all walked together. Finally, the destination is reached. Wearing armor, a total of 600 soldiers rushed to the scene, forty of them were heavy armored knights.

The lord with a big black beard raised his warhammer in the center and shouted to everyone. The lord's armor looked obviously higher-end. It was a very delicate plate armor. The joints were not chainmail but small and strong rotating shafts. ——This plate armor has fluctuations in the elemental force field.

Master Wei was amazed when he saw this great lord carrying a 30 kilogram hammer like an ordinary person carrying a bag of steamed buns. With this strength and plate armor, even if he went to slash him with a knife, it would still be a scrape. Even the bow, crossbow, knife and other attack methods in his hand could not break his defense.

The neatly dressed lord, stepping on the aura emitted by the phase, greatly boosted the morale of the regiment.

But it also means that there are enemies of the same level in this battle, and such existences are proper heroic units.

Eryuan looked at his position and felt that he was in the protective formation of the infantry. He was very likely to become the target of the enemy's fire. He immediately wanted to imitate Cao Cao's method of cutting off his beard and abandoning his robe, and tore off his robe. .

"My people!" As the earl lord made a bell-like voice, everyone was refreshed.

Eryuan looked at the halo around him, and then at the flowing gas surrounding himself and other soldiers. This air flow was close to his body, compacting the armor, as if someone was helping him arrange his clothes.

This is an effect called "focus halo". At this time, a leaf floated down from the air and landed on an ordinary soldier a hundred meters away. The leaf did not stay on its shoulder, but slipped away from the armor as if slipping. This lubrication not only allowed the leaf to fall, but also made the weapon slip easily on the target.

This can be regarded as adding a layer of armor to everyone. As the core of the army, the earl will always have this kind of gain as long as he does not die.

The lord pointed his war hammer forward: "The dirty ogres have invaded our territory. Warriors, destroy those ugly monsters!"

Amidst the soldiers' wailing calls, Eryuan also shouted indiscriminately: "Men want to fight."

But in fact, Eryuan was so scared that he decided not to fall behind the team but to stand in the middle of the team.

...After three years of hard work, Eryuan's resume will become brighter. This can be said to be a standard battle mage's growth process...

The army led by Lord Lunos is different from the Viscount encountered in the village of Eryuan. Currently, this army has forty heavily armored knights, which is a high-level unit.

Knights in this world are trained from squire, to apprentice knight, to regular knight. The whole process takes fifteen years. Their strength is five or six times that of ordinary people, and they have superb combat skills. In this systematic education, they will also know: combat terrain mapping, finding water sources, being alert to dangers, rationally arranging marches, and correct garrisoning. These are training for junior officers.

Especially in this world where "two thousand people" is a large military group, a team of knights with excellent combat skills is quite impressive in terms of combat power.

As the space magic unfolded, rows of tents appeared, and the central tent belonged to the lord.

When the lord finished his speech, a teleportation array flashed in the central tent, and the two archmages jumped here. When they saw the lord, they nodded slightly as a salute, not like ordinary mages.

The two opened the crystal ball and projected a light and shadow map. This search magic can mirror the scene twenty kilometers away.

Eryuan looked at it from a distance, wondering what was shown in the crystal ball. He guessed that there were a large number of ogres gathered. Because the knights watching next to the crystal ball had very serious expressions.

At this time, in the center of the army, Lord Lunos, looking at the red dots on the map where the ogre legions gathered, began to feel bad about the strange situation in the kingdom.

At this time, the king was working with the dwarf coalition to resist the attack of the Naga Legion in the Salt River Swamp to the west. At this time, the threat of ogres appeared in fertile areas such as the mainland river valleys. Important food transportation routes were cut off.

The earl asked the mage beside him: "Have these aliens formed an alliance?"

The mage responded: "Your Highness, this is indeed possible."

On this continent, elves, dwarves, and humans formed an alliance, and other tribes sometimes united.

…The next day, when the birds near the military camp began to chirp, the wake-up whistle also sounded in the military camp, and the soldiers also got up amidst the ping-pong metal collision…

During the march on the second day, Eryuan did not sit in the mage's car - the current carriage is only worth riding if it is moving slowly, but it will be bumpy after accelerating.

Eryuan: And it is certainly comfortable to ride in a car, but after learning from the "human armored tanks in World War II", Eryuan feels that it is better not to be too clingy.

Eryuan wore leather armor and blended into the queue of infantry in front.

Eryuan moved closer to the lord within twenty steps and understood the conversation between the lord and the people around him through lip reading.

Eryuan learned that the lord had sent a messenger to the imperial city to clarify the situation here. Eryuan was full of prying eyes and conducted a spy test.

After translating for more than half of the time, Eryuan sighed: "It seems, it seems, a bit dangerous... My dear, the orcs are moving unidentified, what is going on." Randomly became uneasy.

Suddenly, the lord turned his head and looked at Eyuan who "pricked up his ears". The hair on Eryuan's hair stood up when he was caught in the act. However, the lord smiled and nodded to Eyuan. The meaning of this smile is: "Don't worry, kid, I can protect you."

Eryuan also smiled stiffly, and then muttered: "I have to practice dodge myself."

However, a few minutes later, Eryuan felt a slight fluctuation in the "phase" element, and then he felt like he was being stared at on the road on the left. He immediately stopped, and then began to break away from the team and walk towards the grass, and The two soldiers who were following saw the mage leaving the team and followed him, raising their swords and shields on guard.

Eryuan swung the sling in a circle and threw it towards the target in the jungle. With a click, the branch shook twice, and an eye on the wood pattern blinked and was exposed.

Eryuan was sure it was just a magic prop and not some lurking warrior, so he let out a breath.

The soldier walked over, chopped down the branch with the magic eyes that Eryuan had found, and handed it to the lord.

Eryuan has seen this knowledge in the primary witchcraft records of the Kalal Magic Hall: This is the "Eye of True Seeing" made by demihuman shamans, which is to peel off the eyes of captives or animals and graft them on plants. , formed magic props.

The lord got the split branch with eyes, scanned the surrounding jungle, took a deep breath and said to the attendant knight: "Those beasts (beasts) have now discovered our actions."
