Strange Star Witch

After watching the battle between the Witch Hunter and Rudolf the Forge, Paulus left the temporary camp late at night and headed for the military camp. The military camp was located on the western outskirts of Port Codor, the only place spacious enough to accommodate tens of thousands of restoration troops.

On the way, Paulus also met people who came to investigate the strange pillar of fire. Paulus stopped them and said that he would explain to the count.

Even in the middle of the night, the simple street lights in the military camp were on. The quartermasters became the busiest people, walking around, shouting anxiously, and preparing for the imminent raid.

"Your Majesty the Earl is not in the military camp?"

Paulus received this result at the door of the count's tent.

Count Pallu attaches great importance to military discipline. Once a war breaks out, he will always stay in the military camp and eat and live with the soldiers.

"Lord Viscount, I heard that progress has been made in persuading a level 4 alchemist to surrender. Your Lordship is going to fulfill the final promise in person."

Paulus nodded. This is indeed a big deal. A level 4 alchemist plays a very important role. For those weaklings, if you give them a beating and some money, many alchemists will give in and compromise.

Just when he was about to wait for the count in the rest tent on the side, he saw Caleb, the eldest son of the count and the first heir to the title of earl, walking over.

Master Caleb is already a Commodore of the Royal Navy and is the heir whom the Earl has cultivated.

The figure of a naval officer is not as majestic as that of a land knight, and coupled with the blue commodore uniform, Caleb is more like a thoughtful staff officer.

"Long time no see, Viscount Paulus."

"Long time no see, Master Kaleb."

For the past three years, Paulus has been lurking in the city of Port Codor with intelligence personnel, and has not returned to the Earl's Castle for a long time. Now that he has successfully captured Port Codor, Paulus has made a great contribution. The intelligence work is perfect.

, this proves Paulus’ ability. Caleb’s pleasantries also increase his relationship with Paulus.

"I don't know what Viscount Paulus has to do with my father. I can tell it on my behalf so that you can go and rest. Intelligence work behind enemy lines must be dangerous and hard all year round. Now you can breathe a sigh of relief."

Paulus didn't think much and said directly: "During the landing battle last night, I reached a temporary cooperation agreement with a level 4 wizard. Tonight I want to report the new situation of that wizard to the count."

Kaleb listened carefully. He was very young. Under the stimulation of the war, he eagerly learned everything he could. He was very interested in the intelligence work in front of him.

"I suspect that the wizard stole a high-level witchcraft from the Carolingian Alchemy Council, so he was chased by witch hunters to the edge of the continent."

"High level? What level of witchcraft is it?"

"At least level 5, some kind of flame witchcraft."

Caleb was immediately moved when he heard that it was a level 5 witchcraft. He was only a level 4 knight now, and a level 5 witchcraft would greatly improve him. In this dangerous war, no one felt safe.

The level 5 witchcraft weapons in the Earl's Castle are all in the hands of several leading major generals. Earl Pallu did not take into account personal relationships in this regard. This is an important principle to maintain combat effectiveness. It is impossible to give Caleb to Caleb just because he is the Earl's son.

A level 5 wizard weapon.

"When did the wizard leave the city of Port Kodor?"

"This will be arranged by us. I promised to help him contact a ship to take him to the Southern Continent."

"Okay, I understand, I will report this matter to my father. It is very late, Viscount Paulus, please rest first."

"Goodbye, distinguished Master Caleb, it is such a pleasure to talk to you, and I look forward to meeting you next time." Paulus's attitude was very respectful. He had little contact with the first heir to the earl, and he would indeed do so in the future.

You should move around more.

After Paulus left, Caleb thought for a while before turning back to the tent.

After two days of work, Rudolf finished all the Earl's witchcraft. Ursula took the witchcraft and sent it to the military camp.

Within ten days after the night attack on Codor Port, the Royal Navy sent batches of cavalry and infantry ashore. It is roughly estimated that there are more than 50,000 soldiers gathered here, including as many as 3,000 cavalry.

After being assembled, the army immediately set off, led by Count Pallu, and headed inland. As for the destination of the army, it was impossible for a marginal figure like Rudolf to know.

However, Rudolf was quite curious. When the army was setting out, he went to observe it, hoping to get some information.

The cavalry rode three horses, and they were probably going to attack somewhere far away. The infantrymen brought a lot of defensive military items, such as sandbags, barbed wire, thick defensive heavy artillery, etc. It looked like the infantrymen were going to guard a certain place.

These nodes create opportunities for cavalry to raid certain military targets.

I heard that the battle between the Constitutional Army and the Restoration Army on the front line is in full swing. If the Constitutional Army is raided by a 3,000-horse cavalry force in the rear, it will definitely suffer huge losses. The Port of Codor is only the first strategic target of the Restoration Army, and it is more important.

The goal is to cut off the retreat of the frontline Constitutional Army and attack the Constitutional Army from both front and rear.

For the heretics, it doesn't matter who wins the war between knights and alchemists. It's just another person collecting taxes. People like Rudolf are more concerned about whether high-level divinely chosen apostles like Count Pallu may be on the battlefield.

Go one step further and achieve promotion.

If Count Pallu is promoted, he will be a level 6 knight. A powerful earl like Count Pallu has so many knights and cavalry under his command that he can maintain the combat effectiveness of level 7 knights on the battlefield for a long time, which is very scary.

After watching the army depart, Rudolf returned to the cabin. These things were too far away from him. He was only a level 4 wizard and had not yet found an opportunity to advance to level 5.

Viscount Paulus also went to the front line with the army. Before leaving, Viscount Paulus and Rudolf made an agreement that in about 20 days, after the troop attack is over, they will definitely bring back more level 4 relics. As long as he does another witchcraft for the count,

device, it will help Rudolf contact a sea ship.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The army left, especially after Viscount Paulus left, Rudolph was idle again.

After being bored for a long time, ten days passed. Rudolph got a fishing rod and a fishing basket and learned to fish on the beach to pass the time.

Ursula is the great treasure of the Earl's castle. She did not participate in the war, but stayed behind. However, she was a bit annoying, always following Rudolf. Rudolf had to rely on Viscount Paulus to go to the Southern Continent.

He couldn't do anything to Ursula either.

At this time, they were fishing on the beach, and Ursula was sitting on the stone behind Rudolph.

"It's unbelievable that Rudolph the Furnace comes here to fish every day, all day long."

Rudolf stared at the sea: "Then what do you imagine me to be like? Hiding in a dark basement, thinking about how to kill people every day?"

Ursula wanted to say that it was indeed the case, that that was what the murderous Rudolph the Forge should be like.

The sea was not very rough at this time, and the sun was already low. Rudolph was wearing a wide hat and staring at the sparkling sea, just like an ordinary fisherman.

His eyes were dull and his mind was wandering to nowhere.

Larry's divination results in recent days told him that something dangerous was about to happen. Port Cordo was not a place to stay for a long time, but he had no good way to leave here.

Do we need to go around to a farther port? That would take too much time, and we would also encounter new dangers.

Ursula continued: "It's okay for Rudolph the Furnace to come fishing, but you obviously don't know how to fish and can't catch a fish! I've been following you for several days, and not only can I not learn the witch language secretly, I don't even have any fishing skills.

Learned!”

Kicking the empty fish basket, Ursula said: "It's time to go! Let's go to the fish market and buy two fish, otherwise Sister Yin Fenggna will know that you didn't catch anything today."

Rudolf picked up the fishing rod and cursed the fish in the sea. Even level 4 witch hunters were not as difficult to deal with as these fish.

His novice protection period was extremely short. He only managed to catch three fish on the afternoon of his first fishing trip. After that, he lost the novice benefits and hadn’t caught a fish for several days. Of course, part of the reason was that Rudolph was getting increasingly flustered.

My mind is not on fishing.

After leaving the beach, Rudolf did not return to the cabin. The air force was impossible, so he had to go to the fish market to buy two fish and pretend that he was strong and good at fishing.

In addition to a large port, Port Codor also has some very small fishing ports. There are fish markets next to the fishing ports, where the seafood is the freshest.

There are only 5 or 6 fish sellers in the fish market now. It is said that before the restoration army came, there were at least 100 fish sellers here.

There are very few fishing boats in the fishing port. Most of the fishing boats were requisitioned by the Alchemy Council during the war. Now the council has been driven away. The fishermen don’t know how to get their fishing boats back. Maybe those fishing boats have sunk somewhere.

It's a shallow beach.

When he arrived at the fish market, Rudolf suddenly discovered that there was an extra fish seller today. With the idea of ​​trying something new, Rudolf squatted in front of the new fish stall and lowered his head to pick fish.

"One fish 3 copper shields."

The currencies of various countries on the continent can be exchanged with each other. The United States of Elba is at war, and their currency has depreciated sharply. Rudolph holds Carolingian gold shields. 1 Carolingian gold shield can now be exchanged for 3 Elba gold shields.

.

"Well, it's not expensive." Rudolf thought the voice was a bit strange. When he looked up, he saw that the person talking to him was a small child.

"Kijan?" Rudolf still remembered his name.

Kiyan also remembered Rudolph. The last time they met, Rudolph had no mask or paint on his face.

Ji Yang secretly said: "Mr. Magician, I can give you a small fish."

Rudolf looked at the stall owner and wondered why Kiyan appeared at the fish stall. He remembered that Kiyan said that his parents and family were all dead.

"That's my uncle. I'm selling fish with my uncle now."

Ji Yang was very happy to see his acquaintance. His mouth was smiling, but his brows were frowning.

This expression was very contradictory, with his teeth exposed and his brows furrowed. In these days of bad things, he encountered a little bit of happiness, but this bit of happiness was not enough to smooth his frown.

The first time I met Kiyan, he was still a child who was curious about magic. The second time I met him, he was a desperate child holding a grenade and wanted to die with Rudolf. This time when I met him, Kiyan actually had an adult face.

Rudolph was impressed by his forbearance and fortitude. All the changes happened in less than a month.

Rudolf didn't say much. When he lowered his head to choose fish, he saw the gun hidden under the eucalyptus board of the fish stall. This was nothing. In this chaotic port city, everyone would carry a gun for self-defense.

"Ki Yang, I'll just pick two fish and leave. There's no need to send them to me. It's not easy for you to fish either."

After choosing the fish and paying the money, Rudolf took out the fishhook and used it to break the fish's mouth.

"Mr. Magician, what are you doing?" Kiyan was very puzzled when he saw Rudolph's behavior.

"Oh, let's pretend that I caught these two fish. See if I am very smart. I can even think of these details."

Ji Yang scratched his head and didn't understand why the magician did this. Maybe it had something to do with some magical magic.

"Goodbye, Kiyan."

"Wait!" Kiyan pulled Rudolph's sleeve and whispered: "Mr. Magician, are you a foreigner?"

"Yes."

"Can you get me a grenade?"

"Grenade?" Rudolf looked at the child, a little surprised that he would make such a request. Looking carefully, Kiyan's eyes were full of hope, as if with a grenade, everything would be better.

As for the reason, it is simply that their relatives died at the hands of the Restoration Army, and they wanted to take revenge on the Restoration Army.

"I can't get it, but I can give you some money." Rudolf quietly gave Kiyan 10 gold shields, which were Carolingian gold shields, much more valuable than Elba's gold shield.

The evil alchemist forcibly exchanged everyone's gold for paper gold shields. The damn paper money always depreciated and became less and less valuable.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Jiyang was very happy to get the gold shield: "I will find a way to pay you back!"

"Then you have to survive, my interest rate is very high."

After patting Kiyan on the head, Rudolf left the fish stall. Behind him, Kiyan excitedly talked to his uncle about what had just happened.

I really hope I can hear this child's name again in the future, which proves that he is still alive.

Rudolph and Ursula were preparing to return to the cabin. There were knights in the distance of the cabin waiting for Ursula until Ursula was willing to escort Ursula back to the military camp.

"Ursula, when will Viscount Paulus return to Port Codor?"

"It's almost time, give it a few days. The time of the war is not fixed, and it may end early."

"How is the Restoration Army's flanking attack strategy going now?"

"The people at Earl's Castle said it went very well."

"That's good, the war will be over soon."

Ursula suddenly asked: "Mr. Rudolph, do you want to be promoted to a level 5 wizard when you go to the Southern Continent?"

Rudolph never told Ursula about this, and Ursula directly guessed Rudolph's purpose.

Seemingly seeing that Rudolph looked a little unhappy, Ursula hurriedly explained: "Everyone knows that if a wizard wants to be promoted to a level 5 wizard, he needs to go to the Southern Continent. I didn't mean to spy on you."

Rudolf sighed: "This may be one of the reasons for the small number of wizards. If you are determined to eliminate wizards, you can lay many traps in the southern continent, which will be enough to prevent the emergence of level 5 wizards."

Wizards and magic weapons have brought great fear to other apostles. Many apostles have studied wizards, and countermeasures have always existed.

Pushing open the door of the wooden house, Rudolf shouted: "I caught two particularly fat fish today! Yin Fenggna, make some fish soup!"

"Rudolph, you are so awesome. You have caught fish for several days in a row!" After taking the fish, Yin Fenggna asked again: "Why do you always catch fish in the morning?"

Did Yin Fengna find that the fish was stale? Rudolf explained: "Because the fish in the morning were hungry all night and were easier to take the bait."

This reason is perfect.

After dark, the lights were lit in the wooden house, and the four people began to enjoy Rudolph's trophies around the table, until a knight rode towards the wooden house.

He knocked open the door of the wooden house. He was wearing armor and his broadsword had already left its scabbard:

"Ms. Ursula! Enemy ships have appeared on the sea! The Carolingian Kingdom and the United States of Elba have formed a naval alliance! The butler summons the earl's retainers and asks you to go to the earl's flagship now!"

After Ursula left in a hurry, Rudolf and the other two looked at each other in confusion. Is this someone coming from their "hometown"? A ship from the Carolingian Kingdom...
