hero destiny

Chapter 4 Red Arrow Mercenary Corps

The sun has not yet risen, there is only a touch of red in the sky, the morning fog has not dissipated, and the birds have not yet woken up.There are still about 2 hours before the start of work for humans, but Hongyu Town, [-] miles north of Kleensus City, is full of noise and voices.

This is the gathering place for the call-up order in Klein County. Noble private soldiers and adventurers from all over the world gather here. They will be reorganized according to the regular army of the Stormwind Kingdom, and then sent to the north to quell the beast tide. There will be no shortage of rewards.

After the news that the North Klein region was attacked by the beast horde, Ledin and Sharui decided to finish their studies in Kleinsus and return to their hometown to contribute to the battle of the beast horde.After a day of preparations, Leiding and Sha Rui came to this assembly point at noon yesterday.

Originally, Sha Rui was going to go straight to the road, but Ledding knew the dangers of the battle. He was not a novice like Sha Rui who did not have any battlefield experience.Years of battle career and military command emerged in Lading's memory. No matter what, more preparations and more guarantees. No matter how good a soldier is, there is no guarantee that he will survive in a cruel battle, let alone this kind of army Under the premise that there is not much regular force.

Ledin spent most of his day making spellbooks for Shari and himself.The magic book is a kind of magic item, which is very practical. You can infuse the magic allowed by the spell slot of the legal system into the book and store it in normal times. It does not consume mana during battle, and you can complete the casting of the spell with only a little mental power. , casting magic at the same speed as infusing it into the book.

The spell slots of legal professions are arranged in the magic book like this. The spells of the same level as the caster (changes every 10 levels) can store up to six spells, and the number of spells that are one level lower than the caster can be doubled. And so on.That is to say, a black-iron-level mage can store six black-iron-level spells, twelve bronze-level spells, 24 white-level spells, and 48 zero-level spells in his spellbook (the minimum level magic, such as Impression, Cleansing, etc.).

For legal professions, magic books can be used as cheap magic scrolls. Of course, the stored magic must be infused into the magic book by the holder himself, otherwise it cannot be used.The low-level magic book made by Ledding this time is a low-level magic book that can store magic below the energy level requirement of 4 (bronze level), and the requirement to equip it is to have an energy level.

In order to make the magic book, Ledin took out all the stored elemental crystals. These enchanting materials can effectively strengthen the endurance of the magic book. After all, the paper used to make the magic book is just ordinary magic paper sold in the magic supply store in the city, and The enchanting tools here are also rudimentary in Laiding's opinion. Laiding spent 4 gold coins, which is enough for an ordinary family of three to spend a year on food and clothing, to buy a silver rod that passed the quality standard. Kung Fu made it into a silver rune stick for enchanting.To produce inferior works under crude conditions, 3 sets of Bronze-rank spell books came out like this. The master of enchanting has such a product, and Ledding is too embarrassed to mention it to others.

One of the magic books is for Shari, and the remaining two correspond to Ledding's two professions. Whether the magic systems of the two professions can be compatible still needs to be tested.

In the end, Laiding also chose a silver hollowed-out earring as a small gift for Sha Rui. After all, we have known each other for so long, and Laiding has not given a gift to Sha Rui yet!Ledin carefully performed the best and most suitable enchantment for this gadget—mana regeneration, which has the effect of increasing mana regeneration in battle (+2, energy level requirement 0.1).

When Ledding handed the magic book and the silver earring to Sha Rui, the magic book that made Ledding blush made Sha Rui cheer, and the silver earring was immediately put on Sha Rui's ear.

Seeing the hollow earrings on Sharui's slightly pointed ears in front of her, looming in the swaying of her long black hair in the wind, and the magical brilliance on the silver ornaments emerging from time to time, Ledin felt a deep satisfaction—from Sarah It can be seen from the faint smile on Rui's face that she likes this gift very much.

"Ledding, when did you become so rich? The magic book you got from there, this thing is so expensive! All my money is not enough to buy a copy in the magic store in Kleensus! I'm going to Save money to buy another one when you upgrade to Bronze Rank!" Sha Rui said, holding the Bronze Rank magic book in her arms, looking cautious, as if she was afraid that Ledding would take it back.

"Is this expensive? The book is not very good. It can't store high-level spells. It can only be used at the bronze level. After upgrading to the black iron level, you can't store spells! And it needs an energy level to use it. Equipped with this, It is estimated that except for magic accessories such as earrings and rings, your current energy level is already fully loaded." Ledding was a little embarrassed, his first spell book was made for him by Teacher Windsor himself, a silver-level magic book, And the most important thing is that the energy level requirement is only 0.6, which is stronger than the one made by Ledding.Windsor is not only Riding's spell instructor, but also his enchantment instructor.Teacher Windsor is a specialist in enchanting and inscriptions. Unlike Ledin, he did not learn inscription skills in depth, but learned engineering, which he is more interested in.

"What? It can be used until the black iron rank! And it can be used in the white rank! Elsa, is this book real? It can only be made by a senior craftsman of enchanting and inscriptions! Among the magic books made by Leensus, this is the best grade. Could it be that you got it from the capital?"

The expression on Sha Rui's face was stiff, and she couldn't wait to open the magic book, coordinate her spiritual energy with it, open the first page of the book, quickly cast a smiting spell, and then guide it into the magic book, the golden With a flash of holy light, the spell was successfully imprisoned in the spell book. On that page, the energy of the smiting spell circulated in the imprisoning circle.

"Really! I actually have my own magic book. I thought I would have to save enough money to buy it at the Bronze Rank! Ledding, this gift is really nice, thank you so much!" Sha Rui looked excited, The delicate little face is covered with ruddy.

"As long as you like it, I'm afraid you'll dislike my rough craftsmanship. After all, there are really no good materials. When I return to Port of Thunder, I will make a spell book for you that can be used at the silver level." Redding patronized Seeing the girl's exquisite face, the whole person was caught in Sha Rui's lake green eyes, and he didn't care about Sha Rui's surprise at all.

"A spell book worth at least 100 gold coins! Are you sure you made it? How is this possible? Do you know how to write inscriptions?" Sha Rui heard that this precious spell book was actually made by Ledding, and her first reaction was It was amazing. After getting to know Ledin, this boy brought her too many surprises.

"100 gold coins? Are all their inscribers robbing money? This thing can be sold for up to 10 gold coins. I'm just a junior inscriber. I made more than one magic book, and I also prepared it for myself. "Ledding pertinently estimated the value of the magic book, and shook his own magic book to increase his persuasiveness.

In fact, the cost of this magic book is only about 3 gold coins in Ledin's opinion, and it is because his cost is relatively high - the reason why the magic book uses normal materials is to enhance the paper's endurance. The production cost is only 2 gold coins.However, Lading's valuation is calculated according to the standard price of the mage supply store in Audar, the city of mages. Unfortunately, this is the Kingdom of Stormwind, and the skills of magic are not so developed, and there are not so many players in this world. In the meantime, to act as cheap labor.

Sha Rui looked at her guardian and explained to him: "The spell book of 100 gold coins is priced at the mage supply shop in Kleensus, and the energy level is required to be 1.2, and the stored spells are up to the bronze level. Median, is your book not worth the price? You really don’t care about the current price of equipment, so be careful that you will suffer losses when you buy things in the future.”

"Ah, you are still a junior inscriber. This kind of skill requires a ridiculously high level of basic knowledge of the magic circle, and also requires a complex knowledge system of mineralogy, magic pharmacy, botany, animal bloodlines, etc. Support, can be said to be one of the most troublesome professions and the most difficult to master, you are already an elementary inscription master, it's too good." Sha Rui talked to Ledding with envy.

"Didn't you learn the deputy job? Didn't you have to choose it when you reach level 5?" Ledding was very surprised. Could it be that this is different from the memory in the game.

"How can anyone learn this at such a low energy level! Generally, even if you choose these job skills, you only choose one. After all, the basic knowledge required for these job skills is huge. How can ordinary people have so much time and energy? Also, if you want to learn so many things, unless you have a golden mountain, you can't afford the huge expenses. Even the legendary sages didn't say that all of them learned these work skills. The most legendary The powerful star sage——Ronin Karasu, who has the title of great polymath, has also mastered the work skills of enchanting, alchemy, inscriptions, herbalism, and mineralogy to the level of a grand master. People have achieved specialization in five work skills." Shari was explaining to Ledding, and she suddenly found that Ledding also had something unclear, and she was very happy to answer his questions.

When Leding heard that someone had learned five part-time skills, he interrupted Sha Rui's explanation and asked, "Is there no upper limit to the learning of this job skill?"

"How can there be an upper limit on work skills? The question is, do you have the time to learn so much? I plan to learn tailoring skills in the future. After all, the priest's robes I made by myself can better reflect my devotion to Holy Moon Elsa." Sha Rui It turns out that Ledding's focus is on learning a few job skills. "Does he really want to learn a few? It's not good to be so ambitious. It will disturb Leding's warlock career advancement. I have to persuade him."

Sha Rui straightened her expression, and said to Leiding seriously: "Ledding, I don't know what you think, but I advise you not to have any unrealistic ideas. On the road of magic, we are still beginners. In the future, in the vast ocean of knowledge, we need more knowledge to enrich our professional system, and we don't have so much time to waste. You have to listen to my advice, after perfecting the skills and knowledge of your job, if there is Use your energy to explore unknown areas, so that you will not get lost on the road of pursuing magic."

"Um, I see, Sha Rui, don't worry, I will definitely pursue other knowledge after I have learned my own spell system well." Seeing that Sha Rui was also doing it for his own good, Laiding quickly agreed.

It's not easy for Laiding to tell Sha Rui. In fact, he has long been a master in many theoretical researches. After all, his dual-soul characteristics are too unbelievable, and people may not believe him when he tells them.

In the temporary command post in Hongyu Town, several generals in helmets and crowns were arguing over a batch of supplies to be sent to Thunder Port.

"Your Excellency Karam, the order I received is to prepare the materials and send them back to Thunder Port as quickly as possible. Now that the materials are ready, I must, immediately! Immediately! Set off to send them to Thunder Port. The hometown of Hongyu is raging, and this batch of supplies can save some people's lives if it arrives a minute earlier. And you actually told me that there are not enough people, is the boiling in Hongyu Town caused by the undead?" Like the black iron tower The tall and strong man roared at the general on the throne.

"Captain Lance Prestor, please pay attention to your words. There are many people in Hongyu Town, but there are no organized troops. You can't let these mobs escort these important supplies and those life-saving supplies. Drugs? I can’t irresponsibly let you lead these guys through the area where wild beasts are ravaging, this is not rescue, this is murder!” General Kalam on the main seat patiently explained to the captain of the Port Guard of Thunder Port, in this On the face of the old paladin, there was no trace of dissatisfaction with the young guard captain's unreasonable treatment of him.

Ever since Captain Lance rushed out of the siege of wild beasts two days ago and conveyed the news to Kleinsus that Port Thunder was besieged by beast hordes and lacked medical care, he has been waiting anxiously for reinforcements. and urgently needed supplies.This morning, Lance heard that the urgently needed materials for Port Thunder had been prepared, so he volunteered to come to General Kalam to request that the supplies be escorted back to Port Thunder, but was told by General Kalam that there was no troops to escort him. It happened.

"General Kalam really doesn't have any soldiers available here, Captain Lance, we can't let your small team of scouts escort these hundreds of carts of supplies." The general's adjutant, Delal, explained to Lance.

"How about this, Your Excellency, you arrange a few mercenary regiments to temporarily form a battalion for me, and let me escort the supplies back first. After all, time is life. I am really in a hurry. Please don't be unreasonable to you just now." Mind." Lance said anxiously, there is really no other way, those mercenaries who usually look down upon can also make use of them, after all, they have been fighting wild beasts all year round, so they have some experience.

Seeing that the general was frowning, Delal was worried about those undisciplined mercenaries, so he said, "Why don't we send a few more students from the Noble Academy in the North Klein area to Captain Lance? Having learned some battle formation knowledge, it will be no problem for them to coordinate and organize mercenary operations. Students whose hometown is North Klein can also be more responsible. After all, the supplies are sent to them.

General Karam saw that the adjutant was also helping, and it seemed unreasonable not to give an order. Thinking that the first batch of regular troops will be assembled tonight, and the cavalry battalion will set off first in the morning, and it is only half a day away from this batch of important supplies. Even if something goes wrong, those elite cavalry can support it.

"Okay, Captain Lance, I'll give you a scout from the cavalry battalion, the Red Arrow mercenary group registered in Port Thunder and the other three small mercenary groups. You temporarily form a guard battalion and escort the supplies immediately. Let's go." General Karam was relieved after calculating that there was nothing wrong.Fighting wild beasts does not need to consider too many strategies, as long as the scheduling is proper and the strength is sufficient, victory will be a matter of time.

"Captain Lance, so you can safely escort the supplies on the road. I will arrange for the students drawn by the Noble Academy, and I will make them report on time." Delal said to Lance, raising the teacup in his hand, He took a sip of tea lightly, and his elegant and generous posture reflected good aristocratic etiquette.He was wearing a dark gray ring on the little finger of his right hand. The six-pointed star engraved on it had a hint of magical brilliance. If you didn't look carefully, you would not find that it was a magic ring. It represented the identity of the Kingdom's duke party.

Delal walked out of the camp of the Chinese army, and said to a black shadow in the corner outside the door: "I will let those who humiliate you and Lance escort the supplies on the road. The Red Arrow has already contacted. At the critical moment, hehe Hmph! At that time, whether your people killed them, or the supplies were swallowed up by the beast horde, you can blame them afterwards, and wait for Lance and the others to get rid of them... Hmph, if the plan of the Governor of Hong Kong does not work If it succeeds, it can also evade him. From now on, we will have the final say in Port of Thunder. As long as there is a problem with the supplies, our plan will be half successful, so you have to distinguish between priorities and don’t mess it up.”

"The goal of the mission is to get rid of the supplies first. Lord Callamander has ordered it, and I understand. But I must kill those two bitches, who made me look so embarrassed in front of so many people! I, Tom, swear I will do it! "The black shadow's voice was sharp and arrogant, it was the guy who was thrown into the pool by Ledding that day.

Lance moved very quickly. He immediately gathered his troops and organized a small team of scouts assigned to him by General Karam and the manpower he brought from Port Thunder to form his own central army. Two small teams of scout cavalry , the establishment of 40 people.Then let the messenger go to General Dakalam's order, and let the four mercenary regiments headed by Red Arrow assemble in front of the material warehouse outside Hongyu Town.

At the gathering place of the Klein Noble Academy at this time, Ledin and Sharui also received orders to report to Captain Lance in front of the material warehouse outside Hongyu Town and obey the command.

Leiding and Sha Rui immediately signed the transfer procedures and rushed to the assembly point.Redding rode an ordinary brown horse. Since he had no servants, he had to do all the sundries and trifles himself. Among them, the most uncomfortable thing for Redding was to take care of the horse. He had long been accustomed to using constructed creatures, and magic power Your puppet warhorse will never need regular feeding and harness loading and unloading.

It was already an hour after they set off on the road. Ledding looked at his mount and then at the young white unicorn Shari was riding. It would be a lie to say that he didn't envy him. Unicorns are born sacred creatures. They will allow kind-hearted and pure girls to ride on their backs, and they also have the attribute of self-cleaning, which is equivalent to a timed self-release cleaning technique.

Redding's mount obviously felt that the white creature around him had an aura that suppressed it, and did not dare to keep pace with the unicorn, and fell behind by half a horse's head, closely following behind.Redding knew this well. The pride of a high-ranking monster was there. Even a cub, its status and dignity could not be violated. Therefore, Redding didn't urge his poor mount to catch up. The only trouble was that he and Sha It was a bit hard for Rui to chat.

"Ledding, hurry up, why are you so slow! Even Xiaobai can't catch up." Seeing Ledin's war horse lagging behind, Sha Rui urged him.

"Shari, your unicorn came from it. It actually asked you to give it a saddle. It seems that it really likes you." Ledding did not answer Shari, but asked out the doubts in his heart, after all The larvae of unicorns also have the strength of a fifth-level monster, which is equivalent to the combat power of a silver-level first-level. They are the embodiment of lightning and holy light, and are the sworn enemies of all evil.Adult unicorns possess extraordinary intelligence, no matter how bad they are, they can cultivate the power of elements. They are real eighth-level creatures with silver blood, and unicorns with top strength can even reach tenth level and become the power to spy on the soul. exist.

"Unicorn? I have a unicorn? Are you talking about Xiaobai? It's not a magical beast. Although I picked it up from the Flower Language Forest, Xiaobai is very timid. And Look, it doesn’t have a unicorn, but unicorns are high-level monsters, the incarnation of bravery and justice, according to legend, only pure girls can be lucky enough to sit on its back, and ordinary people like me can meet them.” Sha Rui thought that Leidin was joking with her, and explained Xiaobai's background to him.

Ledding was about to explain the special nature of her mount to Shari, when there was a sound of arguing from the entrance of the material warehouse square in front, looking at the fluttering banners and costumes, it was a group of mercenaries arguing, the largest of which was The gang wore the logo of the Red Arrow Mercenary Group.
