Chapter 269: War Is About to Begin, Preparations Before the War (Asking for Monthly Tickets and Recommendation Tickets)
one year later.
Training Course.
The knights' shouts were uniform, passionate, and resounded throughout the sky. Everyone carried heavy objects, raised shields and wielded swords, practicing one set of moves after another. And if you look closely, you can see that these people practice thrusting, defense, positioning and other actions. They are not good at one-on-one fighting. Even from each other's positions and shooting angles, they are more suitable for cooperation on the battlefield.
The two orcs, the giant horned tauren and the black skinned pig-headed man, were sitting on a huge stone pier not far away. There were several roasted animal legs beside them, and they were all eating loudly.
The first two orcs to join the training ground to assist in training were in response to the Ring Tower Incident in the early simulations. Later, the plan changed and the training time of the two orcs was reduced, but they did not give up.
But in the past month, for unknown reasons, the training ground received an order from Leiter, suddenly intensifying the training plan, and directly restored the original training time and goals.
Now the knights in the training ground have to spend a lot of time and energy every day to fight against the tauren and pigs to enhance their ability and experience in fighting the orcs.
Nowadays, with the rise of Dark Eagle City's reputation, the permanent population and floating population have increased significantly, and it has become the pearl of the plains on the southwest border. As a lord, Leiter benefited from this. The tax money made the Green family richer, and the number of knights who defected was even more numerous.
Looking around, there are nearly a hundred knights participating in training at the training ground alone, not counting the knights patrolling and guarding the streets and villages in the territory.
The scene of everyone training now is very spectacular.
At the same time, a majestic one-eyed man shuttled through the knight training square.
"Angra, thrust faster, otherwise I will put more weight on your arm!"
"Yes, instructor!"
"Pulizzi, why are you not as powerful today as you were yesterday!"
"And Orix, you too, don't think I don't know where you and Pulitzer went last night!"
The two people who were called felt a tremor in their hearts and secretly complained, but their expressions were serious and they did not dare to expose it. Then, they heard the instructor say:
"Hmph! Have you forgotten what I did before? The Chief Sheriff of Dark Eagle City is very familiar with Dark Eagle City. I often smell the perfume on your bodies in some unorthodox taverns. You can't go wrong. of!"
The two of them met the one-eyed man's stern gaze with dry smiles on their faces: "Instructor, you have definitely wronged us. Who dares to mess around in this special period now? The main reason is that the Rattlesnake Tavern launched a new kind of liquor yesterday, and we did drink too much. ”
"I don't care so much, but I won't do it again!" The one-eyed man punched the two men in the chest and continued to shuttle among the groups of knights.
He has lightning eyes and is meticulous, supervising patrols and correcting deficiencies.
From time to time, there were serious and loud scoldings, which continued to be heard in the knights' team, and the atmosphere of the entire team was quite condensed and solemn.
Not far away, Leiter was sitting on a stone pier leaning against the wall, watching this scene quietly.
Until the red sun rose into the sky, the gray world was illuminated by the light of dawn, and not long after, the morning exercise came to an end. The one-eyed man stopped the training, made a brief summary, and disbanded the team.
The one-eyed man was Vaders. According to the plan more than a year ago, Leiter wanted him to serve as the chief constable in Dark Eagle City. In fact, after Vaders arrived, he did serve as the Sheriff for a year. If there are no accidents, he should continue to do so.
However, a month ago, Leiter realized the mystery of shock and the mystery of dispersion to perfection, and started another simulation. The occurrence of a major event forced him to redouble his efforts and prepare for a rainy day - the Cold Current Defense Line began an unprecedented battle.
For this purpose, the Kingdom of Jinlun mobilized the whole country and gathered nearly half of the noble forces to form a powerful army and join the battlefield of the Cold Current Defense Line. Leiter naturally responded positively, not only to contribute to the fight against the orcs, but also to seize the opportunity to harvest destiny points on this battlefield.
"Leiter, you came really early today. Your morning exercise is over. Let's go. It's time to eat."
After the knights trotted out of the training ground in an orderly manner, Vaders walked towards Leiter and gave a rare smile.
"No, I already had a quick meal before leaving the castle. I have some things to do in Dark Eagle City later." Leiter shook his head and said, "Veders, I've worked hard on you these days, removing you from your idle position as a peace officer." It must be very tiring to transfer so many knights."
"I'm a little tired, but these are secondary. The main thing is that I'm not as free as before." Vaders didn't pretend to be pretentious with Leiter, he told the truth, and then sighed, with a trace of longing in his eyes.
Leiter smiled and said teasingly: "Freedom? I've never seen you complain before in the army. I think you miss your beautiful Miss Daisy..."
"Ahem." As if he was told the truth, Vaders' face turned slightly red and he said awkwardly: "Well... we haven't seen each other for a long time."
"You're right..." Leiter nodded, feeling a little owed in his heart, so he pondered for a moment and said: "In that case, I allow Daisy to move to the Vice Castle and live with you, and she does not need to join the Green Manor. ”
"This... is not good. There is no precedent for this in Green Manor." Vaders hesitated.
Leiter frowned and looked at Vaders and said, "What are you worried about? Being coy is not your style! When we fight side by side, you are crisp and clean!"
"This is different..." Vides shook his head and said, "Daisy and I are not married yet. She has always been private."
Vaders said cautiously: "If we don't get together in the end, wouldn't it be a delay for her?"
Although Vaders has been on the battlefield and killed orcs, and is serious and meticulous at work, he is not much stronger emotionally than the simple-minded orcs, and is very rigid and stubborn.
Leiter took a deep look at his comrade, touched his chin, thought seriously for a while, and said: "You love her so much, and I want to help you even more! Just let Daisy move in and prepare a separate room for her. . Besides, you have helped me so much in the past few years, and I am worried about not being able to repay you."
Vaders' eyes were filled with joy and his face was touched: "Thank you very much!"
"Why should you thank me?" Leiter patted Vaders on the shoulder, shook his head and laughed, and then joked: "Speaking of which, if you marry Daisy, you don't need to worry so much. So... what are you planning? Time to propose?”
"Just these two years, save some more gold coins, and then find an opportunity to talk to Daisy about this." Vides said softly, with a trace of longing in his eyes.
"If you're short of money, I can lend it to you." Leiter said seriously, "And you don't have to pay it back."
"Haha, forget it!" Vaders smiled generously: "There are more than one major events in life, and I don't have the habit of relying on others."
"Forget it, I knew you would say that." Leiter smiled helplessly. He understood Vaders's character, and that was indeed the case.
The two chatted briefly and then said goodbye to each other. Leiter left the training ground and headed to Dark Eagle City.
Dark Eagle City, a dark dungeon, echoes with frightening screams and the sound of metal colliding with iron chains from time to time.
Under the dim light, Rylai and Thales stood side by side, with Leiter standing in front of them.
In a prison in front of them, a thin man with disheveled hair was imprisoned. On the ground in the corner were wine bottles, dinner plates, leftovers, etc.
At this moment, a thin man with disheveled hair was sitting on the ground. He looked wretched, his eyes were closed, but his face was struggling in pain, with drops of cold sweat overflowing.
Rylai said to Leiter: "Father, since half a year ago, this man has been committing crimes all over our territory with his extraordinary abilities. He has violated and killed dozens of women. Half a month ago, during the murder in Shenyan Village, Caught."
"snort!"
Leiter looked at the man in the prison with a cold look in his eyes. He was a scumbag who deserved his death. His only value was to survive as food for Thales to devour.
In fact, since the popularity of the territory of Dark Eagle City has increased, and the favorable environment in all aspects has attracted a large influx of people, the number of criminals has increased and it is inevitable.
He looked around, and most of the dozens of cells were empty. There were more than a dozen cells holding magicians, but they were all low-level magicians, and half of them were second-level magicians. Although not strong, it can still meet Thales's devouring needs.
At this time, Thales spoke again: "Father, Rylai, I think the number of magician criminals can be imprisoned in the future. After Dream Eater has devoured it a few times, it also needs to rest and relax. After testing, about six or seven are left behind. One is enough, but this requires excluding sub-level magicians, whose quality is insufficient.”
Leiter nodded at this time: "Then just do what Thales said. From now on, all those on death row who are second-level magicians can be executed directly. It is best to also execute third-level magicians. Your current Strength may not be firmly controlled at all times.”
"No problem, Father!" Rylai nodded and said.
Soon after, the dream-devouring elves emerged from the heads of those people, like ghosts in the night, flying back into Thales' body with the results of the devouring battle. The latter closed his eyes, digested it for a few minutes, then opened his eyes and said slowly: "This time the devouring is over, it's time for me to return to the Alchemy Tower. Come back in a week."
Leiter patted Rylai and Thales on the shoulders with both hands, "You two, practice hard after you go back, seize the time to meditate, and work hard to improve your spellcasting skills."
In the past two years, one of Rylai and Thales was busy with affairs in Dark Eagle City, and the other was busy with alchemy research. Although the fundamentals of meditation have not been lost, the time invested in spell-casting training has been unconsciously reduced.
Leiter noticed this and didn't say it before because he thought it would be good to maintain the status quo. But things are different now. They will go to the battlefield in a year. It is necessary to emphasize that they make up for their homework and maintain combat standards.
"Then Thales, you should stay in Dark Eagle City for the rest of the time. The extraordinary training ground we prepared just half a year ago was completed. We will train together, and I can also guide you to practice magic." Rylai looked at Thales and said.
The extraordinary training ground is located on the outskirts of Dark Eagle City. It was Rylai's idea at first. It solves the problem that there are many extraordinary people in the city, so training is quite troublesome. Going to the Dark Eagle branch to practice is prone to danger, and training in the wild is also easy to be destroyed. Raid and other pain points were readily adopted by Leiter, and Maruna, an intermediate alchemy equipment master, took the lead in creating it.
Leiter said with approval: "Rilei's suggestion is good. Thales, you can stay in Dark Eagle City temporarily, and I will come over from time to time to guide you!"
"Then...okay." Taylor hesitated and agreed.
And Ruilai looked thoughtful, his thoughts became vivid, and he said: "Father, you can not only guide us, but also occasionally guide other extraordinary clients. This can also increase the reputation of the training ground industry."
Leiter touched his chin: "It's all right, so that's the decision."
Later, Leiter personally killed several death row inmates in this prison, controlling the number to single digits. Then leave this dungeon.
Summer turns to winter, and in the blink of an eye it’s half a year later.
Dark Rock Castle.
Leiter was in his room, sitting on the bed and comprehending the mystery of the earth element. Now that he has perfected the mystery of dispersion and shock, and has a good grasp of the mystery of condensation, his combat power has reached a very terrifying level.
He has the confidence to cross levels to fight against the enemy, and with Xuan Ao's blessing, he can definitely ignore the mental power gap of one level. But at the same time, his strength has also fallen into a bottleneck. In the short term, it seems that apart from breaking through the level, it will be difficult to improve his combat effectiveness.
The surrounding yellow sand seemed to be ever-changing. Leiter was in the ocean of earth element. Soon he opened his eyes and sighed: "Alas"
"It still doesn't work. Without a special affinity with the mysteries, it is extremely slow to comprehend the mysteries of Condensation. It is completely incomparable to the other two mysteries!"
Leiter got out of bed, came to the desk and sat down, took out the "Elf Illustration" that Prince Hogus had given him from the space ring, opened it and read it.
First, he turned to the catalog page and glanced at it. Leiter locked on several elves that might be related to the earth element.
"The swamp elves can accelerate the growth of water and earth magic plants and monsters. There is no record of the process of conquering it, and no image record."
"The rock elves can accelerate the growth of earth-based magic plants and monsters. There is no record of the process of conquering it, and there is no record of the image."
"The magma elves can accelerate the growth of earth and fire magic plants and monsters..."
Looking through the illustrations of elves again, Leiter found these three types. There is no doubt that the rock elves among them are definitely earth elves. Leiter even suspected that this elf may contain the mystery of silk condensation. If it can be Recovering it will definitely be of great help to you.
In addition, the other two elves are rare in the entire elf illustration. They can actually bless two types of magic plants, which makes Leiter a little puzzled.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to open the system and simulate it again. Now he has developed a habit. Even if the real trajectory has not changed much, he will simulate it every three months to see if there is any news about the elves. Although he hasn't seen any news about elves in the past year or so, he can't be careless to avoid missing out.
I did a PY with someone else, "Before You Become a God, Be a Good Lord", which is also a fantasy lord article. If you like it, you can read it!
