Chapter 380 Short Message Technique

The governor and the general quarreled for a long time, and at last it seemed that some kind of agreement had been reached.

Sir Norfolk pushed open the door and returned to the living room, followed by General Gates.

"Mr. Vader, I heard from the steward that you flew back overnight from the front line. Is this true?"

The Governor of Norfolk asked Joan with a pleasant face.

"Indeed, my lord, all I need is a little transfiguration spell..."

"So do you still have enough spells for flying today?"

"this……"

Joan actually still had enough mythical energy to use the "transformation technique", but after thinking about it, a normal level 3 mage would never have so many spell slots, so he shook his head a little guilty.

The governor of Norfolk was not surprised by this.

General Gates gave Joan an unhappy look, as if blaming him for his incompetence.

"Mr. Vader, I know you are already very tired, but the military situation on the front line is urgent, so I have to work hard on you again. Send this reply letter to the front line overnight, and you must hand it to Lieutenant Colonel George Vassar."

Joan took the reply letter from Lord Norfolk and couldn't help muttering in a low voice:

"Lieutenant Colonel Vassar? Did you make a mistake..."

"Included in the letter is a letter of commission signed by General Gates and I just now, conferring the rank of Lieutenant Colonel George Vassar, appointing him to replace Colonel Edmund Harrison who unfortunately died as the commander of the Southward Corps, and continue to implement the original plan. Combat mission."

Sir Norfolk explained with a smile.

"Your Excellency, there is no need to explain these things to the courier. His mission is only to deliver the letter, not to convey your oral instructions."

General Gates disapproved of the Governor's disclosure of the content of the reply letter to Joan.

Of course, Joan knew that in his own capacity, he was indeed not qualified to inquire about the contents of the communications between the governor and the frontline commanders, but the governor did not blame him for this, but instead satisfied his curiosity and flattered him.

General Gates' attitude was completely opposite to that of His Excellency the Governor, which made him deeply confused, and he did not understand why His Excellency the General spoke harshly to such a small person as himself.

Is it because he did not report the changes on the front line to the Governor-General as soon as he was the military chief, or he was not satisfied with the decision to appoint George Vassar to replace Colonel Harrison as the commander, so that Blame yourself on this messenger?

Chaotic thoughts intertwined in Joan's mind, making him feel overwhelmed.

Sir Norfolk smiled and patted him on the shoulder, resolving his embarrassing situation in time.

"Mr. Vader, take this note signed by me to the quartermaster department to get the 'Transfiguration' scroll needed to fly back to the front line. In addition, remember to get two 'SMS' scrolls. If there is an emergency at the front line Report the news to me, and it can be sent by 'short message', so you don't have to worry about flying all the way."

Knowing that he could receive the spell scroll, Joan immediately lifted his spirits, bowed to the Governor, and left in a hurry.

Qiao An first ran to the quarters office, showed the governor's letter to the officer on night shift, and successfully received 3 "Transformation" scrolls and 2 "SMS" scrolls.

There was nothing to say about the "Transformation" scroll, and what Joan valued more were the two "SMS" scrolls.

The 3rd ring "SMS" is an all-round enhanced version of the 0th ring "Messaging" and the 2nd ring "Wind Communication". Comparing, it's like a cloud of mud.

The maximum communication distance of the "Messaging Technique" is only a few hundred feet, and the "Wind Communication Technique" is better, the maximum communication distance can reach 20 miles.

"Short message technique" is powerful, the communication distance is infinite, and it can even cross the barriers of planes and send messages to objects in another plane!

After getting the "SMS" scroll, Joan's first thought was to copy this very practical third-level spell into his spell book.

Running back and forth all night was not in vain.

Joan spent half an hour copying the scroll, and then cast a spell to become an "Eagle Man" and fly into the night sky.

With a pair of sharp eagle eyes, he flew all the way south under the light of the moon, and returned to the barracks at three o'clock in the morning on August 31. He handed over the Norfolk Governor's personal letter and letter of appointment to George Vassar, who stayed up all night waiting for him to return. .

In the morning of the next day, George Vassar called a meeting of all officers and soldiers, and read out the reply letter and letter of commission from His Excellency the Governor in public.

"Major Vasa" was promoted to "Lieutenant Colonel Vasa" to replace Colonel Harrison who died in battle as the commander of the corps, leading the troops to continue the mission of expelling the jackals and bandits.

George Vasa has been the head of the knights for many years, and he gets along very well with the Asa mercenaries. It can be said that he will succeed Colonel Harrison.

This personnel arrangement successfully resolved the crisis brought by the assassination of Colonel Harrison to the Southward Corps, and the signs of floating people in the barracks subsided.

Although everything seemed to be back on track on the surface, Joan noticed a subtle change in the atmosphere in the army compared to before.

Colonel Harrison's sacrifice had a strong spiritual impact on all the young soldiers, including himself, and made these fledgling recruits realize that the real war is far more cruel than their imagination.

Even the supreme commander of the army may fall under the enemy's butcher's knife. Who dares to say that he can definitely survive to the day when the war ends?

The cruel reality of life and death on the battlefield, coupled with the mourning for Colonel Harrison and other comrades who died in battle, the young people in the Corps felt tremendous mental pressure and urgently needed a channel to vent, otherwise they would drive people crazy in the long run.

...

In late August 1620, all three confrontations in the Derlin Valley ended in disastrous defeat for the Gnoll side.

Two of the six major gnoll clans that invaded the Alfheim region have been wiped out, and even the direct descendants of the gnoll queen Alpha have suffered defeat. The other three gnoll clans were deeply shocked by the news, fearing The Yalfheim Corps, who had encountered the bandits going south, gave up their plans to go north to plunder one after another.

The day after George Vasa took over as commander of the Alfheim Corps, he continued to advance south with his troops.

Along the way to the south, they found traces of gnolls many times. However, the other party has also realized the strength of this human corps, and they dare not confront it.

From August 31st to September 6th, during the entire week, the Vaasa Corps followed the Gnoll's footprints all the way south without encountering any threats.

Until the morning of September 7, when the rolling Brass Mountains appeared at the end of the horizon that people could see, the officers and soldiers who went south to fight finally found a target to vent their long-storing anger.
