Before ascending to God, be a good lord

In the early morning of February 2th, one kilometer east of Xizhu Mountain, there was a vibration on the ground, and then hundreds of demon rats fled towards Zhushan, surrounded by a high-level rat the size of a house.

The senior rat took a panting step, stretched out his head to bite an intermediate demon rat next to him, and threw it behind him with all his strength.

The high-level rats left a wide path in the woods, and soon a group of knights bypassed the intermediate-level magic rats that fell on the ground, and slowly followed the group of rats.

Although there were only 25 horsemen, they were all armored and strong. The wind and fire magic elements continued to condense in the sky above the 10 intermediate black scale horses and 10 junior black scale horses, shredding the branches above their heads.

The two elves in the front row felt that they had enough magic. They immediately bent their bows and arrows, and injected two beams of fire into the rats not far away.

"Ouch~Ouch"

Listening to the whine in the distance, Neil, the leader, was happy and said to the elf next to him: "Knight Windu is really a master of archery!"

"Hey, it must be the power of these black scale horses," a senior knight named Windu also boasted, "If it weren't for these black scale horses, I wouldn't be able to shoot continuously."

On the other side of Neil, the leader of the team, Silver Knight Shafren Helen, shouted loudly: "Find a way to change the route of those rats, they are about to enter the scope of Xizhu Mountain!"

"Look at me!" Another mage shouted, and then drew a magic pattern on his chest.

In an instant, fiery red magic elements gathered from the side of the horse to the top of the mage's head. A huge fireball flew forward quickly on the wind and exploded less than 20 meters in front of the rat group.

"Boom~"

"Ouch~"

The rats panicked and adjusted their direction. They were supposed to reach the foot of Xizhu Mountain in 300 meters, but now they turned south and continued to move forward.

The demon rat that had bitten off its neck in the middle of the road was quickly picked up by the giant beast of burden that followed, using its long horns, and sent to its back.

The beast of burden that had harvested the big mouse gradually slowed down, letting the beasts of burden behind it gradually take the lead, while he stopped aside and waited for the carriage behind him to catch up.

"Drive~" In the middle of the 20 beasts of burden, Xiaohua sat on her own beast of burden named Brown Horn, commanding the herd of beasts to follow them slowly. The job of her barbarian rider was to use The earth magic patterns on the hooves of the intermediate beasts of burden re-harden the road surface and absorb the loot falling from the front.

The beasts of burden carrying the demon rats soon arrived at a group of carriages, and the auxiliary troops unloaded the rats onto the large carts, allowing the beasts of burden to return to the team in front.

The three teams of knights, barbarians and auxiliary troops drove the mice and opened a dirt road around Xizhu Mountain before returning to the Dongzhu Mountain camp at noon.

Today's Dongzhu Mountain has undergone great changes compared to the spider nest that was just cleared two days ago: at the foot of Zhu Mountain, a camp similar to Xingba Castle has been established, with city walls, tree houses, watchtowers, and warehouses. A lot of the same.

As soon as Neil, Xiaohua and Shafron Helen returned to the camp, they saw the elf Yavini Jinyue coming up to them.

"How's it going? Did you have any accidents?"

"Don't worry," Neil said confidently, "It's exactly as expected. A group of rats can only have one high-ranking person at most. They will turn around and run away when they see our team." "Hmph, that's because you didn't go deep into Zhushan Mountain. Underneath." Yawenni said casually, she is the person who has the most understanding of the monster species in Zhushan.

Shafron saw the conversation between Neil and Yawenni in his eyes. He and Yawenni were considered colleagues in the imperial capital. It was rare to see this ice beauty take the initiative to pay attention to others.

However, after the events of the past few days, this elf princess has changed slightly.

"If you want me to say, you should take advantage of the Elf Knights' vacation to take down the West Pillar Mountain and the North Pillar Mountain in one go," Neil said nonchalantly, "After taking down the four mountains, you can build a city in the forest. La."

"Haha, do you think those Warcraft Gods in the Central Forest are magic-patterned tigers? So easy to talk to?" Yawenni retorted, "Lant is right, these pillar mountains are not difficult to take down, but they are difficult to defend. .”

Although they reached an agreement with the royal family to move the four pillar mountains to Yeqi City, opening a space magic circle of this size requires at least four magic furnaces to provide magic power at the same time, and the drawing of the magic circle also takes several months.

Therefore, Lant decided not to attack the two pillar mountains in the west and north until the preparations were completely completed. Instead, he continued to send out knight teams reinforced by magic archers and mages to continuously reduce the population of monsters in the two pillar mountains.

This kind of combat operation that is close to hunting is also an excellent training opportunity and can also test tactical tactics.

For example, this time, a team of 20 galloping knights was strengthened by a silver knight, two high-level magic archers and two high-level mages. This formation expanded the attack range of the knights, and also allowed the Chinese to Demon archers and mages of higher levels have found the feeling that only higher levels can have.

"Captain Yavini is right. There is no need to rush to capture the two mountains now. The central forest is no better than the plains. The civilization here can only rely on powerful magical beasts or magical plants." Shafren Helen agreed. .

Two days ago, when Shafron saw his former colleague Morris showing off his trophies, although he was a little greedy, he did not want to join the battle at Four Pillar Mountain. After all, he knew the formation of the knights under Yeqi City. , all elf knights belong to the elf knights, and he has no elf blood, so he can't join at all.

However, when he went to eat at the Hall of Thousand Towers at noon that day, a large group of magisters found Shafren and wanted to use his method to let the children of each family participate in the Battle of Four Pillar Mountain.

"Shafron, please think of a way to contact His Majesty Lant and see if you can allow members of our family to participate!"

"Yes! You must have a communication channel with His Majesty. Don't leave us alone!"

Shafron looked at a group of anxious magisters and said helplessly: "Everyone, each of your families has a heir who is ready to be raised to a high level. It is inevitable that something will go wrong in this war!"

"Hey, Saffron, why are you so pedantic!" Great Magister Cleland said anxiously, "Why do our families only have one high-ranking person? Isn't it because we have too few military exploits and too few resources for future generations? ?

Once you participate in the war between the elves, wouldn't you be able to obtain magic potions, magic plants and even elven blood? Are you still worried that your family is missing a high-end person? "

"This..." Shafron really hasn't thought about this, but his concern is whether the disciples of the Imperial School can enter the Elf Knights.

That night, Lant told him the result. It was true that he could not enter the Elf Knights, but he could participate in the battle. Because Lant's Galloping Horse Knights have to rotate with the Frostwolf Knights, Shafren can bring some mid-level troops as reinforcements to the Knights' formation.

The 200-person knights are divided into 10 formations. Each formation requires a total of 5 high-level knights, mid-level magic archers and mid-level mages to support them. This is also a considerable size of 50 people, of which 30 people can be formed by families from the Imperial School. members, and the remaining 20 magic archers are the elves of the Imperial Knights, which is why Shafren can fight at the foot of Xizhu Mountain today.
