Chapter 299: War Application of Siris Magic, Four-Word Military Flag (6000 words long chapter)
"Sir Roland, we were wrong, please forgive us!"

Outside the Governor's Palace, in the camp.

The defeated adventurer bosses came to Roland and confessed their mistakes with tears in their eyes. They even used the "apologize under a thorn" in Roland's "The Romance of Siris" in a literate way.

"You don't need to tell me this. I'm not qualified to punish you. Anyway, the money will be deducted according to the rules of the adventure commission."

Roland didn't even bother to pay attention to these old tricksters. He turned directly to Jonis and praised: "You did a good job this time. You can settle the commission fee. In addition, I am going to invest in helping you set up a real large-scale mercenary group. The main business is Business in the field of war!”

Jonis was overjoyed, half-knelt on the ground, pressed the hilt of his sword and swore: "I am willing to die for you! Your great kindness, Jonis will never forget it!"

Rabiot and other teammates were sincerely happy for him, and they also knelt down and swore: "I am willing to follow the leader and die in repayment!"

"What kind of kindness and kindness are you talking about? In the future, you will cause... ahem..." Roland said subconsciously, but suddenly felt something was wrong. He quickly stopped talking and said instead, "I have passed the "Eye of Secrets" in your previous battle. Observed, it seems that it is not that easy to regain the royal capital.

In that case..."

He waved, and several servants walked in carrying several flags about a foot long.

"Sir Roland, this is..."

Jonis and everyone turned their attention to them.

"I understand, these must be the magical weapons given to the heroes of Xiqi by the immortals in "The Romance of the Gods"!"

Brother Youdong clapped his hands fiercely and said clearly.

Others agreed, they had read this novel!
Roland glanced at him.

You little clever guy, why are you so smart?

"Okay, pretty much the same.

But these are not called magic weapons, but legion equipment made with alchemy - the flag of command! "

At Roland's signal, the servants put up the flags, and everyone saw clearly that Dou Da's flags were written in large golden seal characters on them, namely "Wind", "Fire", "Mountain", "Forest"!
The mysterious runes and the gold lettering and black background color give people a heavy sense of majesty and solemnity.

These flags are like books recording history, carrying glory and splendor, as well as the wisdom of sages.

"This is a new invention of our Seris School. So far, it has only been mentioned in the arcane world, but it has not yet been widely promoted and used."

The term "Wind Mountain Forest" comes from "Sun Tzu's Art of War: Military Struggle Chapter". The original text is: "Therefore, it is as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as invading and plundering as fire, as motionless as a mountain, as unpredictable as the dark, and as moving as thunder..."

Of course, the following "plundering the countryside to divide the masses, expanding the territory to divide the profits" and so on are too dark, so I won't mention it much.

From a purely tactical perspective in the art of war, these four words "Wind Mountain Forest" are an excellent guiding ideology.

It is as fast as the wind, which means that the army must move quickly. As the saying goes, the speed of the army means that it is like the wind passing by, defeating the enemy with lightning speed.

The "Xu Ru Lin" refers to the unhurried and unhurried marching, relaxed and measured, solemn and orderly, not loose and loose.

Invading like fire means that when attacking the enemy, it should be like a prairie fire, unstoppable.

If you are not moving like a mountain, then when you are defending and garrisoning, you should be as towering as a mountain and as solid as gold.

After learning the explanation of the true meaning of these four words, everyone was first surprised and then admired.

There is movement and stillness, movement and stopping. It can be said that it embodies the local philosophy of Seris everywhere and shows the idea of ​​yin and yang changing.

"Their buffing effect on a single target is only equivalent to some low-level spells, but because it is a high-end equipment, the range of influence is quite large. It can benefit thousands of people at once, and even has a certain function of identifying friend and foe. It can be said to be a model among legion spells!

The first effect of this equipment is a passive command aura. Those who feel a sense of belonging to the legion can obtain a small gain by visually reading the text, which will also help maintain morale when facing battle.

But in comparison, the effects of active use are what really matter.

Among them, the wind-character flag contains a gain effect similar to "acceleration", the fire-character flag is similar to "advanced magic weapon", the forest-character flag is similar to "heroic spirit", and the mountain-character flag is similar to "powerful shield"... "

Roland explained to everyone personally.

In fact, the magic of Siris is like the "Secret Blessing of Liujia", which already has its own special functions.

But for these people, we cannot explain it from the principles of arcane magic, but from some gain spells that are widely circulated in the magic world and that they have the opportunity to come into contact with and understand.

The real functions it possesses are actually more complex and superior than the gain magic mentioned just now.

Because the spells contained in these flags are not the so-called acceleration spells, magical weapons, etc., but the scientific names are "Wind-Character Jue", "Fire-Character Jue", "Lin-Character Jue", and "Mountain-Character Jue". new rune spells.

Its essence is a new type of magic text application that combines spell models such as "Power Word" and "Six Armor Secret Blessing".

This is also a clever trick that has just come out.

If it were in the future, military control would definitely be implemented and civilian use would be strictly prohibited.

Only the Mage Legion can purchase it. Adventurers, don't even think about it, even if you have money, you can't buy it.

Everyone was sincerely surprised and praised.

As a result, Roland provided new resources.

When everyone looked at it, they saw that they were boxes of Siris magic cards, with exquisite patterns printed on the cards. A mage had a seal in his hand, and he was using the complete spell of "all those who are fighting in battle to march forward in array" to perform the game. Rhys Magic.

"These are "Six Armor Secret Blessing" spell cards created using Siris magic card technology. You can use them as a substitute for spell scrolls. "

"We know this, the Siris magic card is fun and easy to use!"

Another clever guy read out a familiar advertising slogan recently, that is the slogan of Capel Company.

"These buffs do not conflict with each other, can be superimposed, and take effect at the same time."

As Roland spoke, he ordered someone to take out several boxes of similar magic cards.

On the palm-sized card, there is a picture of a horse printed on the front, and its effect is written in simplified vernacular characters on it.

"Spell card·Mounting: Summons a magical horse for riding, lasting 2 hours."

In the world of high magic, this is the lowest mount summoning object and has no other functions.

But the nobles of Reiner's world, including Rosa, were horrified.

There is such a magic that allows the infantry team that masters riding skills to maneuver quickly at any time, and even use it to launch a charge.

Although the latter is a skill that requires professional skills to master, what if a person has high agility, body balance and flexibility that are enhanced by spells to a level far beyond that of ordinary people?

Just 12 points of agility is enough to be called strong. Maybe you can try horseback archery.

And "Liujia Secret Blessing" can temporarily add this basic attribute!

The next day's battle quickly verified this.

When Prince Ferret's army still looked at these rabble with old eyes, they were shocked to find that they summoned their mounts on the opposite side of the street, and then mounted their horses one after another amid the flashes of various magical auras.

This kind of ordinary mount cannot withstand heavy armor, so everyone travels lightly.

But at this moment, a mountain-shaped flag was raised in the middle of the crowd, and the thick magic aura formed an illusory golden light like heavy armor.

Not only the people on horseback, but also the magic horses are fully armed!
With its thick appearance, it looked as if it was indestructible with a knife or pierced by a gun. It was a solid lump of iron.

Prince Ferrer's men began to tremble. It was not that they were afraid, but that the other side had launched a charge.

This movement shocked everyone even more.

fast!
too fast!
With a speed that even the light cavalry could not match, it was like lightning rushing.

Jonis and others arrived at the front of the formation after two rounds of arrow rain.

bang bang bang...

The sound of jars colliding continued one after another. One after another, the heavily armored warriors hit the enemy's shield wall, forcing a gap in the shield swordsmen's line.

This is also a very rare ace unit. Only warriors with professional level 4 or above can do such outrageous things as blocking horses with tower shields.

In the past, Prince Ferrer relied on such a skill to control the border.

But now, they finally met a powerful enemy.

Jonis and others were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, killing them wantonly. Only then did everyone realize that their weapons also had incredible sharpness.

At some point, the fire flag was erected, and the magic edge gave ordinary swords power comparable to divine weapons.

……

"These Atrein people are secretive, but they are still doing something evil!"

Garland hid in the dark and saw this scene with his "Peeping Magic Eye", frowning secretly.

"At this time, only a large-scale "quagmire spell" can solve the problem. Unfortunately, Roland is eyeing him, so we can't act rashly. "

The followers behind him said with regret.

"There is no need to read any further. Ferret is bound to be defeated. Let's retreat quickly."

Garland stood up and said decisively.

"Damn Atrein!"

In the palace, Felie also quickly learned the news from the front line.

He held the sword and his body was trembling. He wanted to rush out several times and bring all his trump cards to fight to the death.

But eventually calmed down.

The subordinates and staff around him persuaded him: "Your Majesty, let's retreat and retreat to our territory!

In the coming spring and autumn, we can still fight again. "

"You are right, what they rely on is nothing more than the aid of the Atrein people.

If you really want to fight, we have it too! "

He frowned and recalled some mysterious lobbyists he had encountered in the past, and seized the opportunity to compete from a strategic level.

In a place like Reiner World, several major empires take turns waiting on you, and there are many "enthusiastic neighbors" and "well-meaning powers" who are willing to give money and equipment.

The aid from the Atrehine people cannot be endless. As long as they feel that they are suffering a loss, they will choose to stop their losses.

When the time comes, you will have the opportunity to show off your talents!
So he no longer dwelled on the defeat in front of him, and ordered: "Replace the local civilians and servants to take the lead, and the rest, withdraw with me!"

This Ferrie ran so fast, when Roland learned about it, he couldn't help but secretly praise him.

Even in a low-demon world, there are strategists.

Turning like the wind, he did it, simply faster than Jonis and others who used the Flag of Command.

Roland vaguely guessed the other party's intention, but he had no choice but to order the recovery of the royal capital first and ensure the legitimacy of the Arkham Palace.

When the nobles in the city learned about it, they came to surrender one after another, complaining to Silaire about Feile's atrocities with tears in their eyes.

"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for us. That thug from Ferret stole our equipment and property!"

"He is just a demon who eats people without spitting out their bones."

Silaire had no idea and could only go to his sister and teacher.

"It's hard to say how many of these people are enemies. How dare you complain!" Rosa said angrily. "Let's take a look at the city's treasury first. Using my own assets to finance the army's victory is not a long-term solution."

Roland reminded kindly.

When Rosa heard this, she quickly picked up her skirt and rushed to check it out with her cat-eared guards and maids.

The results were as expected. Except for some clumsy equipment and the like that were difficult to move away, many treasuries were almost emptied after they were destroyed under Felie's order.

In those granaries, there were not even a few grains of wheat left for Rosa and her sister.

Fei Lie and others ran in a hurry. How many of them were snatched away by him, and how many were taken advantage of by the nobles in the city.

Rosa covered her forehead and was dazed for a long time.

Now she has learned what it means to be aggressive like fire.

"Then this will be really difficult."

After Roland learned about it, he was also in trouble for a while.

"This guy Ferre probably never planned to stay in Savalan for a long time from the beginning. He only planned to plunder this city from the beginning to the end, and then leave the mess to you!"

It's good to be rich yourself.

But this is not to save the poor, and we cannot put all our wealth into the quagmire of Reiner World.

Even Atrein is clamoring for disarmament and the abolition of the Governor's Palace.

Why can I withstand it?

Fortunately, Rosa has worked at Seris Academy for many years, so she has gained some experience.

She quickly thought of a series of countermeasures.

"Our Arkham royal family is still orthodox, and with the support of the Atrein people, we have a good chance of winning in the hearts of most people and nobles.

Confidence is gold. As long as you hold on for a while, you can regain your strength.

Please also allow us to use your name and Atrein's name to stabilize those mercenaries, and at the same time, knock on the nobles who support Ferrie...

Maybe you can get some money out of them.

As for food, we can only ask everyone to bring their own dry food to support Arkham. If that doesn't work, we can use future taxes to support it. "

Roland sighed.

What can I say for myself?

Of course I support her.

After all, he is the man behind her.

Moreover, the committee has put Reiner World in its own hands and cannot lose control so easily.

……

Afterwards, Rosa's actions made Roland impressed again by the talent of this beautiful woman.

She first ordered people to spread the word about her brother's ascension to the throne, and called on her classmates and friends in the Mage Tower to come out and help.

There are a lot of talents inside, and they are aristocratic children like Diego, Bona and others.

Among them, Diego's father Mobron has already made a fortune and is a big comprador with a lot of gold coins in his hands.

Although Diego died young and had no way to become an official in the court, Mobron still needed official protection and various supports.

Rosa talked to him personally and got a large amount of sponsorship money to alleviate the urgent need.

Then Boehner was appointed as the new prime minister.

This man was originally the son of a Duke. He came from a noble family and took the position of Prime Minister at a young age. Although he was slightly criticized, it was still justifiable.

After all, in a feudal and backward place like Lena, family background is very important.

Bona was appointed as a new official at a young age and showed great enthusiasm. It was not until he learned that the royal capital had been robbed by Felie that even the food for the winter was a problem, that he collapsed.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak to the family, and by the way, I tricked the Duke's father who originally planned to sit on the sidelines and watch, so he brought his own dry food to support the royal family.

Then Rosa appointed a new group of foreign students to fill the officialdom after the chaos in the royal capital.

During this transition between emperor and courtiers, many people were laid off, removed from office, and forced to retire.

Rosa almost used a method of selling her official position to complete the emergency fund-raising.

Arkham XIV was mediocre and incompetent. The officialdom ecology when he was in power was already corrupt, and many people were not very clean.

Coupled with the possible charges of colluding with Felie and intending to commit rebellion, the old officials who were kicked out were all honest and did not dare to make trouble. They even had to pay a fee to ensure that future generations could continue to serve as officials. Grant money for support.

By the way, most of those international students are their descendants, so they are all willing to accept it.

In this way, a lot of money was miraculously squeezed out, the treasury was replenished, the deficit was alleviated, and the disaster that the royal capital suffered was resolved without any danger.

Unknowingly, it was already three months later.

In the royal capital of Savalan, near the royal palace, there is a small three-story house in the Atline style.

Rosa worked at her desk for a while, then came to Roland who was sitting outside reading the newspaper and said, "Sir, I just calculated that this method of tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall is just to temporarily cover up or delay the contradiction. .

If Reiner does not develop, not only will he not disappear, but he will continue to expand in the dark until he explodes.

Moreover, if this method is used once, it will not be used again for at least 20 years. "

Roland nodded: "It is true that the crisis has not been completely resolved. It can even be said that Reiner's world is still under the calculations of conspirators, and there are still a lot of places to fight and waste money."

All of these are deep pits, and there are even bottomless pits hidden in the pits, enough to become the cemetery of the empire.

"so what should I do now?"

The exotic beauty who had been promoted to the eldest princess frowned, half asking Roland, half talking to herself.

Roland said: "Relax, my eldest princess, you have been too nervous during this period, and you are almost turning into a brother-in-law demon."

This is a homophonic joke of Siris. Although Rosa, who is well versed in Siris culture, heard it for the first time, she quickly understood it.

Rosa couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, but she still followed his wave and came to sit next to him, snuggling up like a bird.

Roland sniffed the charming incense coming from her hair and said comfortingly: "I already have some clues about the murderer of your father and the people who conspired against Atrein.

As for the Red Sand Legion in the west, the possible invasion of the Black Dragon Dynasty will also be solved by Lord Bolas.

Siler only needs to be responsible for dealing with the trains and revitalizing the domestic economy. "

When Princess Rosa heard this, she was so happy that she raised her head and gave her a sweet kiss.

But after thinking about it, I still felt a little worried: "Silaire is a little student-like, can he really be a good king?"

Roland said: "The affairs of the world depend on loyal ministers and good generals. As long as you know people well and do their job well, and are willing to distribute benefits, what can you do wrong?"

"Well, after all, it's not convenient for me to keep meddling in state affairs. I have to give him a chance to practice on his own. Besides, there is a backlog of things at the college that I need to go back to deal with..."

Rosa thought for a while and agreed.

This smart woman has always been clear about her identity, dependencies, and responsibilities.

She didn't want to give people a bad impression that the eldest princess was involved in politics, which would affect the relationship between the siblings, and she didn't want to mess up the affairs of the academy and make Roland dissatisfied.

However, when I thought of something, I couldn't help but complain to Roland: "The enthronement ceremony is still not completed. Those nobles are dragging their feet. It's obviously Ferrer who is causing trouble!"

Roland was helpless, and he didn't know for a moment whether it was better to say that the centralized power of Siris or the system of aristocratic councils like theirs was better.

There may be pros and cons to each.

However, for the eldest princess who wanted to see Xi Laer gain legitimacy and truly inherit the throne, it was obvious that the family system of Siris was more beautiful.

Even if Kowloon were to seize the heir, it would be resolved within the family. When would it be the noble council's turn to intervene?

The royal family must establish absolute authority and even be promoted to emperor.

Even if he has strong soldiers and horses, he will be the emperor!

This thought flashed through Rosa's heart, as if a seed had fallen.

……

At this moment, in the palace.

"Your Majesty, your black tea..."

The maid brought the tea that Silaire needed. He was sitting at the table writing quickly. The continuous hard work made him very tired.

"Why do these calculations feel more complicated than arcane knowledge?

Well, at least the low-level spell models are not as difficult as these. "

He rubbed his forehead with some trouble, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Sudden.

Silaire spit it out with a puff.

"Kings!"

Amid the horrified screams of the maid, Silaire slowly fell to the ground, clutching his chest.

The two court mages who were guarding him rushed in and quickly took control of the scene.

But it was still too late.

"Your Highness, the eldest princess, something happened to the king!"

The news spread quickly, and Rosa was so sad that she froze there.

"Let's go and see."

Roland said gloomily and seriously.

He personally rushed over with the helpless Rosa, and found that the palace was in chaos.

Silaire was not the only one to show symptoms of poisoning. Everyone including the Queen Mother, many maids, and guards also fell ill one after another.

But the strange thing is that everyone's symptoms are different. Some have headaches and brain fever, some are paralyzed, some fall into deep sleep, and some have body ulcers.

Silaire's symptoms were myocardial infarction, and he died suddenly when Roland and Rosa came here.

The Queen Mother was so heartbroken that she vomited blood and died shortly after learning the news.

When Rosa heard the bad news, she felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was falling.
