Chapter 32 Energy Rays

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye it was already late September.

In order to find time to learn magic, Richard tried his best to hand over military affairs to the deputy squadron leader Dida.

Dida was Richard's comrade in the Sixth Squadron and the squadron's sharpshooter.

The two of them joined forces to kill the fifth-level lion-headed man Walder. Dida made military merits, exchanged for breathing methods, was promoted to a professional, and became Richard's deputy.

Because of this relationship, the two got along well. With Dida's help, Richard got rid of many trivial matters. He practiced breathing methods in the morning, meditated at night, and practiced various skills in the afternoon.

Every day, every hour, and every minute were clearly arranged. This strong self-discipline made the soldiers of the Seventh Squadron dumbfounded, and many people secretly admired it.

At the age of the young Mu Ai, he could endure all kinds of temptations and live a life like an ascetic monk in the barracks. Such people are also very rare in the Dawn Continent.

Only those who are ambitious and yearn for power can endure such hardships for a long time.

For ordinary people who have such conditions as Richard, the most important thing every day is to communicate with beautiful and sexy noble ladies. Discussing the meaning of life with each other is much better than enduring pain in the barracks every day.

So it is no wonder that Richard, at such a young age, has reached a height that many soldiers cannot reach in their lifetime. In addition to cheating, Richard's self-discipline, studious, and patience are all key factors.

As we enter late autumn, once the snow closes the mountain, the invading orc army will be blocked at the southern foot of the mountain.

At that time, the human kingdom will increase reinforcements, and the orc army stationed at the southern foot of the Eagle Mountains will lose support, and the end will inevitably be annihilated. So from late August, the orc army withdrew from the mountain roads with the population and supplies they had robbed.

The orcs gradually withdrew, and communications gradually began to resume.

Richard finally received news from his father William and his second brother Barron.

His father William and his third uncle Bernie were safe and sound, and sent a handwritten letter to report their safety.

But his second brother Barron sent a death notice.

From the death notice, Richard learned that Barron was killed near Flying Eagle Castle.

The process of the death was also described very clearly.

Barron and his brigade were left behind to cover the rear. It was a very cruel battle, and only a few people escaped from the battle. Barron was not lucky, and died at the hands of orcs like most soldiers.

Because Flying Eagle Castle was still in the hands of the orc army, Barron's body was not even collected by anyone.

Many orcs have the habit of cannibalism, and many human soldiers who died in the orc-controlled area did not even have their bodies.

Barron, like Ron, was the son of William's first wife.

He was seven years older than Richard, and they were not from the same mother, so their relationship was not very close.

When Richard was reborn into this world, Ron and Barron had already entered the Knight Academy to study. They had few opportunities to meet each other, and could only spend a few days together during the Goddess' Birthday Holiday every year.

But after all, they were brothers from the same family, and Richard felt very uncomfortable when he heard the news of Barron's death.

When Ron heard the news of his brother's death in the war, he couldn't help crying. They were born from the same mother, had been together since childhood, had the same memories, and had the deepest relationship.

After a month of hard study, Richard spent almost all his free time learning magic, and finally engraved the first complete rune in the mental space and learned the first spell in his life.

This spell is called energy ray, which is a prerequisite spell for the first-ring magic energy missile. And the famous three-ring magic fireball, the prerequisite spell is energy missile.

If you want to learn the most cost-effective three-ring magic fireball in the war, you must first learn the first-ring magic energy missile.

To learn energy missiles, you must learn zero-ring magic energy ray.

Most energy-shaping mages will choose to learn energy ray. After learning energy ray, the attribute panel changed again.

Unlike physical combat skills, magicians engrave magic runes in the spiritual space, which is equivalent to fully mastering the spell.

There is no essential difference between a legendary magician and a magic apprentice when using the magic of energy ray. They both invest spiritual power and mobilize magic power to evoke the magic runes in the spiritual space.

The only difference is the timing of releasing the spell and the amount of spiritual power invested.

The timing of releasing magic depends on the magician's talent and experience. Even the attribute panel cannot enhance this ability.

After working hard for a month, I learned the first zero-ring magic and increased my mental power by 0.2 points.

However, the experience of meditation increased less. According to Richard's estimation, it would take about a year to be promoted to a high-level magic apprentice without adding killing experience.

Richard's mental power is very strong. If one-fifth of his mental power is invested in the magic of energy ray, the power of this magic will be greatly enhanced, reaching the level of a first-ring spell.

The lethality of this magic is not much different from Richard shooting the enemy with a bow and arrow.

However, using magic to kill is more concealed, and it only takes three seconds to prepare to kill the opponent unexpectedly.

Moreover, after the arrows are used up, Richard can still use magic to hit the opponent with a few energy rays.

The energy ray has a long range, up to more than 100 meters. Although it is not as good as the enchanted bow used by Richard, the killing distance is enough.

In mid-October, the half-year-long war finally ended. The orcs withdrew from the Eagle Mountains, and heavy snow fell, blocking the mountain road.

The Mad Lion Legion also ended its mobilization, and the Eighth Battalion was transferred back to garrison near the Flame Castle.

The Legion Headquarters issued medals to the soldiers who participated in the war. Richard had three more badges on his chest, one for an outstanding officer, one for the Pratos Defense War, and one for the Silver Star.

The Pratos Defense War Medal, every soldier who participated in the defense war has it.

The Outstanding Officer Medal is relatively rare. Among the more than 30 squadron-level officers of the entire 8th Battalion, only half of them who have won medium merit can get it.

In a war, only by accumulating a great merit can you get the Silver Star Medal.

Among the more than 1,000 officers and soldiers of the 8th Battalion, only two people have won the Silver Star Medal, in addition to Richard, the captain Sharp.

After the war, Roland also submitted an application for retirement. Having lost a leg, Roland could not keep his position in the army.

If he barely stayed in the army, he would only do some work of guarding the warehouse.

If he could not make military merits, he naturally had no hope of becoming a noble.

Roland had been in the army for many years and had no shortage of gold coins. Seeing that there was no hope of being promoted to hereditary nobility, Roland was ready to return to his hometown of Lightburg to spend the rest of his life.

Roland was born in a professional family, and three generations of people joined the army. His father died on the battlefield. Roland had better talent and climbed higher in official position. After all, it was difficult for him to take this critical step and lead his family to be promoted to hereditary nobility.
