Chapter 321 A more useful rune prophecy method and strategizing
"Weian, let's go take a look."

Pamir looked excited and pulled Lavian.

"What are you looking at? The leader has assigned us a task."

Wei An sighed helplessly.

He also joined the army just to keep an eye on this kid.

However, although Pamir was stopped by him, he still stood beside the wooden pillar and looked through the gap.

In the open space under the gentle slope, Fei Liejun was arrayed.

"beep……"

Amidst the sound of the horn, a group of purple-skinned orcs drove away a large number of refugees. A death squad composed of prisoners and slaves slowly advanced. Other ministries cooperated to form a battle formation of thousands of people to advance together.

The speed of this journey is not much faster than that of an old lady walking. It seems that it will take a while before we can really make contact.

Pamir murmured to himself: "This is what a real war is like. It feels so boring."

Wei An asked: "Are you stupid? You are an untrained civilian who is tired after running for miles, not to mention you have to carry weapons and wear armor. Do you really think that two groups of people rushed up and started fighting?"

"Then why don't you shoot arrows? And the mages behind you haven't started casting spells either."

"Do you think arrows and spells don't cost money? Of course, we should shoot them together when we are sure."

The two chatted for a long time, and after waiting for a long time, they saw that the troops in front finally began to approach each other, and started fighting under the driving force of the supervising team.

Pamir finally got excited, but found out that this was just a tentative attack.

Both sides suffered several injuries, so they retreated under the cover of a large group of troops and replaced them with another group to confront them.

This scene was far less intense than imagined.

Pamir was greatly disappointed. He shook his head in disappointment and said, "I thought I could see the passionate scene of Zhao Zilong bravely charging into the enemy's formation, entering and exiting seven times."

"You kid, you must have read too much "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", that's a novel!

Novels are all made up by authors who have nothing to do and are full of food. They just enjoy reading them. How can anyone take them as seriously as you do? "

Wei An patted his head and said.

"Damn it, it would be great if I had the ability of 'Changshan Zhao Zilong'. Watch me kill seven in and seven out. Then you will know whether it is true or not."

Pamir said unconvinced.

Wei An was speechless. Only then did he realize that Pamir had insisted on joining the army because he was influenced by "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

"Haha, if you want to reach the level of a general who can defeat a thousand people with one horse, you must have at least level [-] strength or above.

But in the Zhongmo or Zhongwu world, they are considered an elite class.

To compare with Zhao Yun, one must be at level five or above, and then master 'Advanced Weapon Specialization', 'Combined Defense with Offense', 'Combat Reflection', 'Block Flying Arrows', 'Dodge', and 'Great Slash' , 'Mastery Initiative', a whole bunch of warrior specialties.

Even Captain Jonis himself, a fifth-level warrior, probably only masters three or four specialties, which is still far from enough. "

Suddenly, a voice sounded behind them.

The two of them turned around and unexpectedly found that one person was looking at them with a smile.

It's the mage I met in my hometown before!
"If I remember correctly, one of you is called Wei An and the other is Pamir, right?"

The person who spoke was Roland, who had just arrived secretly.

After learning about the abnormal changes in the frontline situation, Roland immediately used the magic network to cast "Advanced Teleportation" and rushed to the nearest town.

Linge and Naldo were stationed there with their respective subordinates, and immediately mobilized elites to escort him here and act as temporary personal guards.

"Ah, it's the kind person who gave us books!"

The two of them were surprised and happy. They didn't expect to meet him again in such a situation.

Rabio, who was accompanying them, looked at the two boys with a headache and scolded: "This is Mr. Roland from Siris College."

"what?"

Wei An and Pamil were dumbfounded, especially Wei An, who had just spoken rudely, and couldn't help but panic, and quickly waved their hands and said: "So you are Mr. Roland!

I...I didn't mean that you have nothing to do when you're full..."

Rabiot put his hand on his forehead.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Roland laughed heartily.

Rabiot quickly introduced: "Sir Roland, they are students of the third demon warrior training class. They recently signed up to join the army. I was surprised when I saw their names.

You may not know that they are all real geniuses. They have the third level of Seris language at a young age. Among them, Pamir has developed fighting spirit in a very short period of time, and Wei An also has Gatos. Physician’s talent recognized by doctors…”

When Roland heard Rabio's introduction, he became somewhat interested in these two people.

I had so many things to do before that I didn't bother to care about the specific situation of the third batch of students, but I didn't expect that after going around and around, I still saw them.

Thinking again that this was not the first time he had met them, he couldn't help but feel a bit like fate.

But Roland is in a high position and has already trained himself in the city.

He did not make any rash comments, but only gave a few words of praise, both salty and mild, and then led Rabiot and others forward under the awe-stricken gazes of the two people.

Soon after, they came to a place suitable for watching and checking the battle situation below.

It was just an accident that he met the two of them. Supervising the battle personally and holding the battle for Jonis and others were his real purpose.

At this time, Roland has fully realized that in the world of swords and magic, high-ranking people like himself also have precious and scarce combat power.

In a high-demon civilization, not everyone has high-level strength.

High-level mages are still worthy of being at the top of the pyramid.

For this reason, he has been fully aware and prepared to transform knowledge into power and devote himself to the battle to safeguard the interests of his school.

But Quinistine hasn't appeared yet, and Jonis and others are not in trouble, so he is in no hurry to take action.

So while checking the situation, he chatted with Ringer, Naldo and others who were following him: "Based on your experience, if you cooperate with Trina to track in the sky, how certain are you that you can kill that Kunisteen?"

Linge replied: "The opponent is a high-level mage among the Deni orcs, and he is extremely talented.

According to the data, he has also fought in many worlds and hunted high-level monsters.

If we just win the battle, the two of us should be able to do it together, and with Ms. Trina, we will be even more confident.

But when it comes to getting rid of him for sure, it's really hard to say. "

"Well, it seems to be a bit tricky."

Roland pondered.

That's right, it's to kill, not to repel!

He fully combined the current situation and judged that a better response strategy might be to injure ten of his fingers rather than cut off one of them.

Address Kunistine directly and solve the current problem.

Because he simply didn't want to get entangled with the Scroll Association and play a war game of dividing the market.

He wanted to let the other party know that if he stretched out his hand, he would be cut off.

Only by hitting with one punch can you avoid hundreds of punches.

Only then can we talk about peace or other conditions, and then we can take the initiative.

He also believes that in such a large association, it is impossible for everyone to be ignorant and have to fight against him regardless of the consequences.

If you really can't get through it like that, it will only happen after you get through this difficulty.

Maybe by then Reiner will have developed and have money in his account, so he can fight again.

"Should we change the strategic goal to mainly injure and repel him?"

"If that's the case, we can guarantee it will be done easily..."

Ringo and Naldo suggested.

Roland said: "No, I have fully discussed with Lei, Blaise and others. Judging from the background, customs and values ​​of the Deni orcs, they can be called barbarians who fear power but are unethical.

After a simple beating, he won't give up so easily. Instead, he may become more courageous as he fights.

This strategic goal must be formulated with the determination to kill him, with serious injury as the minimum.

This is what I said in "The Analects of Confucius", 'take it from above and get it from within'. "

Ringer, Nardo and others tasted it carefully and said in admiration: "Your Excellency Roland is as wise as the sea."

Kunistin holds a high position among the Deni orcs, so he must have a way to continue to attract reinforcements and invest more troops.If he really gets his blood boiling and seeks revenge at all costs, it is entirely possible that the scale of this war will be expanded and escalated, causing even greater trouble.

Maybe, external forces will see an opportunity to get their hands on Reiner.

In fact, Roland and Lei discussed whether Kunistin might appear to be brainless, but actually secretly made a secret agreement with other forces and wanted to get involved in the world.

If there was an opportunity to establish a foothold here through war, the Deni orcs, who originally relied on war to make a living, would never hesitate.

This may be the reason for taking the initiative to stir up trouble.

He couldn't tell how much chips the other party would put towards this goal, but one thing he could tell was that if he could kill the other party without violating the unspoken rules first, the other parties would have nothing to say.

As he spoke, the battle below had entered a fierce stage.

However, both the Ferret Army and the Queen's Army are already wearing armor. Without means such as fighting spirit or magic weapons, it is difficult to pierce them in one fell swoop.

And even warriors with fighting spirit and combat skills may languish after a few outbursts.

Without the blessing of skills, they are only slightly stronger than ordinary soldiers using ordinary means.

This is not a fair competition arena. Veterans of the second and third levels were stabbed with spears and hacked with knives, and they had to grieve on the spot.

Therefore, the more experienced these people are, the more stubborn they will be.

The fighting below seems lively, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that many veterans appear to be working hard, but in fact they are shouting with their teeth and claws open.

They didn't even bother to swing their weapons a few more times, just to save their energy as much as possible and save it for later use when pursuing victory or escaping.

From the beginning to the end, the real elites of both sides did not attack rashly, because they had already fought yesterday and confirmed that the other side was not an enemy that could be defeated easily.

You must find flaws in the opponent's morale or formation in order to win.

Only those suicide squads who were forced to fight had no choice but to fight.

Most of the real casualties occurred among the refugees, prisoners and slaves.

The commanders of the Ferret Army are trying to clear the way with their blood, looking for real opportunities to strike.

But even these people who rushed to kill the enemy were divided into multiple groups and took turns to attack.

The regiment leader Jonis stood on the high ground under the protection of the personal guards and several mages, with the four-character military flag standing high behind him, constantly giving orders.

He is adjusting his formation according to the situation on the scene and issuing various orders.

From Roland's perspective, the armies of both sides looked like monsters with many tentacles fighting with three heads and eight arms. Attack and defense had their own rules, and their advance, retreat, and rest were orderly.

Roland nodded secretly: "This Jonis is quite handsome and is making rapid progress."

Jonis, who is rapidly growing up from an ordinary adventurer, has begun to learn the art of war and master basic tactical command abilities.

Coupled with the magic cards and props such as "Messaging" supported by the mage tower, and the cooperation of the mage group around him, he was able to perform well.

Roland was thinking about whether he should write a book called "The Art of War" and give it to him, which would bring military strategists from hundreds of schools of thought into the world and add some support to his legendary destiny of "inheriting civilization and benefiting the world." .

"Ms. Trina is back!"

Suddenly, Ringer, who was alert next to him, reminded him.

Roland looked up and saw a black shadow passing by in the sky and slowly landing in the nearby forest.

On the surface, she did not advance or retreat together with Jonis and others, but as a giant dragon, she happened to regard the nearby area as her own territory.

Although this is somewhat hypocritical, it is still enough to provide diplomatic spokespersons with necessary explanations in some situations where a verbal spat is needed.

Trina Yu Wallis Tinyara?

Not familiar, we really are not familiar with each other.

He was originally a local dragon in the world of Tinyara. He returned to his hometown to find a place to nest and settle down. He happened to encounter you fighting there, so it was reasonable to drive him away, right?
Roland thought to himself, and sent her a message with alchemy tools, calling her over for discussion.

After a while, Trina walked around the camp from behind in the form of a female elf without disturbing the battlefield below.

When Roland saw her, he was concerned at first: "Trina, is everything okay?"

Trina waved her hand and said gloomily: "It's just a little bit of success. That guy is quite difficult to deal with. He is very powerful in both long-range and close combat."

Roland used the conversation to inquire about the other party's detailed information, and concluded that Ringer and Naldo had made a good judgment. That guy was indeed not that easy to kill.

"In addition, the group of personal guards under him are also quite difficult to deal with. If they didn't have insufficient reserves of "flying skills", they would have almost surrounded me. "

"Personal guards..." Roland's heart moved slightly.

This is also a difficult factor to kill and may lead to the failure of your own plan.

"They are generally fourth-level warriors. A few of them are stronger and have fifth-level strength. However, I didn't pay much attention. I only remember four of the more powerful ones. I'm afraid they are all sixth-level warriors."

Trina told.

"That's really hard on you." When Roland heard this, he secretly sighed at the power of the dragon clan.

Don't look at Trina's success. In fact, she was fighting with a high-level mage who works part-time as a mid-level orc warrior, and a group of personal guards.

It is indeed the strongest legendary race in the world of swords and magic!

As long as you survive to the Ancient Dragon stage, you can basically advance to Legend.

That is a complete look at all living beings, unparalleled power.

Although Trina is only a green dragon that has just grown up, she can be said to be a trustworthy and powerful combat force and the absolute backbone of the team.

This is a winning factor.

Not long after, Roland used the brush he carried with him to write several "causes of victory" and "causes of defeat" in handwriting on the calculation chips that resembled bamboo slips.

Then, all the chips were put into the bamboo tube and shaken with rhythmic shaking.

"Sir Roland, what kind of spell is this?"

Ringer said in surprise.

"Oh, this is the "Operations Technique" that I am still exploring. It is improved and optimized based on the "Oracle Bone Divination", "Prophecy" and other spell models. "

"Operations? Does it mean strategizing? Is this where its origin and linguistic meaning come from?"

"good."

Words such as operations, planning, preparation, coordination, etc. originate from counting utensils, mostly made of bamboo.

"Shuowen" says: "Chou" refers to the arrow of the pot, which means that the arrow of throwing the pot is the chip.

It also has a deep connection with the fortune telling in temples or Taoist temples.

Later generations generally referred to formulating strategies and planning as "strategy." The so-called strategizing and decisive victory thousands of miles away not only used calculations to calculate various success or failure factors, statistical analysis, but also had a meaning similar to prophecy and foresight.

Because Roland had supplemented the "Collection of Idioms" with essays, added to "The Language of Seris Runes", and wrote about the conversation between Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and Han Xin, this idiom has begun to be known to this other world.

Everyone's understanding was implicated in this, and like "a last-ditch battle", understanding and resonance in the magical sense gradually formed. Therefore, Roland suddenly discovered one day that it actually had the effect of optimizing and improving "prophecy".

This time, it is also an attempt to use it.

"This is a brand new "prophecy"! "

Everyone was surprised when they saw this.

However, mages or priests have already used "prophecy" to assist before making action decisions. This approach is not surprising, but the specific method is novel.

But seeing a flash of inspiration, the lottery was thrown into chaos.

Many "causes of victory" and "causes of defeat" turned into phantoms, and golden words floated up one after another. Under the infusion of magic power, they formed unintelligible runes.

They are all the achievements of seal character culture. After the interference and influence of many resonance forces, they have long become distorted and blurred, making it difficult to identify.

Only a few signs of the Key were revealed as part of the prophetic effect.

"Personal guard..."

Roland also spent a lot of effort to confirm a keyword.

"What does it mean?"

Trina couldn't help but said.

Roland said: "This is Mana telling us that we can work from his personal guards."

Having said that, the specifics of how to do it are still vague.

This is the old problem of prophecy magic. It is unclear and no one can tell.

Roland only hated that this technique was not mature and perfect enough. The handwriting was obviously written by himself, but after twisting and changing, even he couldn't recognize it!
