Hey, King!

Chapter 453 Chapter 456 Oh 123
"Keep up with the team ahead and be alert!"

Commands spread through the queue, and soldiers responded with silent but effective movements. Although the sun shines on the grassland after the rain, both the vast scenery and the fragrance in the air are so attractive, but this does not affect the efficiency of the soldiers in executing orders.

"Pay attention to the posture of the muskets, everyone reminds each other." Thohens shuttled back and forth in the queue, observing the status of the soldiers. He believes in the training level of the soldiers, but everyone has not experienced real battles, and the first time will always be nervous, so paying more attention will make him more reassured.

The vanguard is heading to Egg Island. The four-month-long musket shooting and stabbing training has been completed. More than 20 marching and combat exercises have been conducted. It is a mule or a horse when the time comes to pull Out for a walk. The whole army, especially the members of the Wind Chaser Regiment, are full of confidence in the outcome of the battle at this time. The only thing that everyone is worried about is the performance of the young men on the battlefield, and they are most afraid of accidentally hurting their own people.

Although stable rifling has been researched, the quality is very unstable, and it cannot be mass-produced, let alone installed. In the melee, the muskets loaded with shotguns are equally dangerous to the enemy and their own people because of their lethality and lethality. Limited by the production capacity of bullets, the number of fin-stabilized armor-piercing shells that can be used for smoothbore and precise direct firing is too small, and can only be partially equipped for platoon leaders and squad leaders. Ordinary soldiers can only choose shotguns. Of course, this will have an impact on tactical actions. It must be required that the musket squad cannot be forced into a melee, otherwise the shotgun without long eyes will fly everywhere, and it will not take any advantage.

In order to improve the survival rate on the battlefield, Dagon not only brought the generals and doctors, but also selected ten priests from the temple, plus those "divine technique servants" assigned to him and two bishops to form a full-scale team. There are 40 herdsmen divisions that provide medical care for the vanguard. In this regard, Phoenix believes that if a shepherd division of this scale is combined to cast spells, it is enough to level the front of any steppe tribe with a summon sacred thunder, and the soldiers are not in danger at all. In this sense, they offer what is truly the best medical coverage.

Siloai also moved with the Vanguard, but she remained invisible and the soldiers didn't know it. Dagon made it clear that he would be very happy and full of confidence if Shiroai could follow, but he also wanted ordinary soldiers to be trained, not just admire the powerful incantation of the elf female mages.

Professor Dongdong always said that he wanted to see the battle strength of the musketeers, but Dagon didn't call him this time, mainly because of the fatigue. Moreover, the attack action of the Pioneer Army at this time did not make much fanfare. In name, it was still a field training and an exercise. It was only when the soldiers were fully armed that they saw Dagon and the convoy carrying all the fighting supplies halfway through, and then they knew that they were going to participate in the real battle.

After receiving the ammunition and bolt from the vehicle, the soldiers had enough battle strength and immediately turned to the northwest in marching formation. All officers and soldiers marched forward on foot, and the baggage was loaded into the car, which was pulled by the yak managed by the logistics platoon and followed in the center of the team. Jiangu clansman and yak are both creatures that can walk for a long time. Although their absolute speed is not fast, they persist, and their daily marching distance is no less than that of humans and elves.

The key is that they are all infantry and do not need to be dispersed, and the safety of the baggage is very guaranteed.

Dagon also marched with the soldiers. He didn't speak much along the way. He only performed a dive technique incantation with the priests every hour or so for the whole army. He doesn't "marching horn" the dive technique, but it doesn't prevent him from adding mana to the dive technique. With a full mana model that can be incorporated into any system, none of the Ori priests would notice that a non-Oli priest was mixed in with them.

Divine technique The marching horn can reduce the possibility of fatigue accumulating into injuries after each use, it can lift the spirits, and make people feel that their legs are no longer heavy. In fact, Jiangu clansman is known for his tenacious, and his endurance ranks among the top among all races. They set off after breakfast in the early morning, kept going all the way during the day, and then set up camp in the middle of the night, so they could reach Egg Island in about ten days.

"A herd of bison is approaching from the north, and your soldiers are going to drive it away." Shiloai scouted with the Falcon, and spoke to Dagon in the invisible state. "Actually, I don't think it's necessary. The group of bison didn't dare to approach when they saw the soldiers."

"It's all part of the training." Dagon also used spell to pass the message, saying, "Is there any other danger around? "

"I saw a large pack of wolves in the morning, twenty-seven or eight, but they unfortunately didn't go this way. If you want the soldiers to practice their courage, I have a way to find them again. They, control the alpha wolf and let them charge the army."

"The bullets are too expensive, forget it." After thinking about it, Dagon still felt that the gain was not worth the loss.

So far, the soldiers have performed very well. Those who opened the way in front, and those who guarded and guarded on both sides, all performed their duties well. The only soldier who was injured was that he was stabbed in the rabbit hole, and even if he caught a fat rabbit, it didn't make him feel ashamed.

That night, the group of wolves that Shiroai was concerned about smelled the scent of rabbit soup and other food and came back, wanting to raid the camp in the middle of the night when the wind was high. Unfortunately, the night does not block Jiangu clansman's vision, their dark vision is much stronger than the wolf's low-light vision. There were nearly 30 wolves. The soldiers felt that it was too wasteful to shoot, so they installed bayonets and set up a formation of three or five people covering each other.

"Just use torch to scare away, these guys deliberately want to fight wolves." Torhens found Dagon, he knew that a weapon master must be awake in this case. "According to the code, shooting should be prioritized over stabbing. Dagon, do you want to punish them?"

"Give them twenty minutes, if the wolves have not been driven away by that time, Criticize them well tomorrow." Dagon said: "I understand that they want to save bullets, but now is the state of marching and fighting, time and results are more important. Watch for 20 minutes, don't tell them yet."

The wolf is very cunning. Seeing that the soldiers in formation are not to be trifled with, they immediately spread their four legs and circled the camp to find a better target. The yaks in the convoy felt threatened and became restless. Jiangu clansman of the logistics platoon had to wake up, control and appease the yaks, and warned the comrades in charge of vigilance.

The torch lit up and stuck around the camp. The wolves circled around without finding any obvious weakness, so they attempted a charge. This time, the vanguard finally waited, and they immediately counter-charged, overturning seven or eight wolves at a time, and finally scare the wolves away.

The entire operation lasted for about an hour. Although there was no injury or a single shot was fired, the soldiers in the security platoon felt that their performance was not good and took the initiative to come to Dagon to accept the penalty.

“You deserve credit for not waiting for me to come to you, knowing you didn’t do a good job,” Dagon said: “You’ve actually woken everyone up by driving out the wolves, and it’s taking too long. Long, the key is to be led by the nose by the wolves, which seems very unwise. You go to Thohens, sum up the mistakes this time, find out where you can improve, and how to deal with similar things again If you can come up with more than ten valuable methods, the soldiers can be exempted from punishment. However, the officers of your platoon, including the platoon leader and each squad leader, will be responsible for the work of burying the cesspool tomorrow as punishment. Go!"

These wolves actually became the only "danger" encountered by the vanguard on this march. It must be said that they were very lucky. The northern grasslands are basically in a wild state, especially the large open spaces between tribes and tribes have not been developed, and various wild beasts live. Dagon and Shiroai had encountered the two-hearted White Dragon in this land, and were chased by sling giants, both of which were actually dangerous. Dagon was ready to fight at any time, but he didn't meet the monster, which made him feel empty.

Shi Luoai saw Dagon's mood and said: "If you really want to train, I can definitely find a monster for you. The mana eagle can advance to Snow Mountain in the north, plus... ..."

"Farewell, when you take down the egg island and need to clean the door, you can use the spell to attract monsters." Dagon frowned slightly and said, "I just don't understand, this monster Is the density too low?”

“When you were in prison, Chiling City has been used as a vacation practice base for the Academy, including professors, students and some members of the Mage Association will go to the Northland Come, find and capture the magic wild beast with elemental crystals. Elf cards have always been sold, and this is a good way to make money."

"Too hard to kill?"

"That's not the case, that is, in this area around Chiling City, the kind of creatures that can pose a threat to the vanguard does not exist. The egg island is different, and the vanguard must have a chance to be rare. Don't worry about the beasts fighting."

"Why?"

Shiroai said: "There used to be the place where the king of the North, Bono, made his fortune. After he died, the tribe over there hated elves, would not guide the Academy and the Mages Society, and would poison them or sneak attack on them. After being warned, the devil beast hunter avoided that direction , and will also drive some devil beasts that are of little value but very dangerous to the direction of Egg Island. Dagon, there are still three days to reach Egg Island, what do you need me to do?"

"Also and It’s fine as before.” Dagon said: “I’ve been making you invisible all this time, thanks for your hard work.”

“It’s not a raise upwards war at all, but helping you design the array.” Shiloai Said: "I haven't seen such a weird array as you, and I haven't understood it for a month...Is there such a big gap between this dive technique and Arcane?"

"Don't worry, in some places I didn't fully understand it, after all, it is a new type of array involving the soul domain and the spiritual domain." As Dagon was talking, he heard three low-pitched horns in the distance, two long and one short. He said to Shiloh: "The road-breakers in front have found that they are returning, let's not talk about the array."

"Would you like me to transfer the mana eagle to the front?"

"No, you should continue to be optimistic about the rear. The number of vanguards is relatively small, and they can't achieve effective coverage in all directions, so you can only work hard." Dagon stood up, sorted out the five-headed dragon cloak, and said: "I Go and see what news the scout brought back. I have a feeling that it should have something to do with Egg Island."

"You can prophesy again now?" Shiloai said with a smile.

"It's just a logical inference, not a prophecy. If it wasn't related to the upcoming battle with Egg Island, the investigators wouldn't have blown the horn."

Dagon's speculation is correct Yes, he soon saw the returning six Jiangu warriors, who also brought three Northland Barbarian Races with them. Judging from the fangs sticking out of their mouths and the shape of the skull in the shape of a nest, they should be some sort of lycanthrope, not the lycanthrope who got sick after being bitten, but brought from their mother's womb. Due to the contagious nature of lycanthropy, the tribes of the North were reluctant to accept them, so the lycanthropes had to gather and live on their own.

"Where's your squad leader?" Dagon asked first when he saw the six soldiers.

"The squad leader and the three comrades in arms did not leave the reconnaissance post." A soldier said: "Three prisoners, six guards, the squad leader asked us to escort them back as soon as possible. They came from Egg Island."

Dagon carefully surveyed the three lycanthropes, observing their physical and mental conditions. A soldier watching over them took out a package which, when opened, contained the weapons used by the three men. Boomerangs, slings, javelins, serrated knives...

"Are you hunters?" Dagon changed three languages commonly used in the North in a row, and the three of them didn't seem to understand. So he asked his soldiers: "How do you know they are from Egg Island?"

"He has tattoos on his chest, tattoos of the Spider tribe of Egg Island, which I saw when I disarmed him." Warrior said.

Dagon activated the sense of dragon, and saw the tattoo through the clothes. It was a spider with many circles under the belly. It was indeed the traditional tattoo of Egg Island. At the same time, he also saw a band saw bone dagger hidden in the sole of a prisoner's shoe.

"Bart, the Summon Messenger of the Holy Voice is here to translate. Saree, there's a dagger hidden under the sock of that guy's left foot, so keep an eye out for a while. Don't rush to get it, just know it."

>

Bart nodded, with both hands drawing a circle on the chest, the divine energy forms a portal, and a divine messenger is "summoned" out. Others might think this translucent, shimmering, pyramidal creature came out of a "portal," but Dagon knows the essence of this diving technique incantation, which is fabrication, not teleportation.

In fact, it can be used. Except for Dagon, no one cares about the essence of the dive technique, let alone storing the power of praying to Dagon, turning it into something like elemental crystal, and then Charge the array.

"Where did you guys come from? What do you usually do? Do you know who we are?"

This time the lycanthrope understood. They looked at the transparent and glowing angel with surprised eyes, and wanted to reach out and touch it, which of course would be stopped by the soldiers. Dagon didn't think there was any problem with this, and sent the angel over with a wave of his hand.

This time it was Bart's turn to be surprised. He had no idea how the diving technique he had displayed would be taken over by Dagon. ".

After being allowed to touch the angel carefully, the lycanthrope's attitude was noticeably better. They struggled to answer Dagon's questions, piecing together sentences from their limited vocabulary. The main reason why lycanthropy is despised by various tribes in the north, even lower than ogre, is mainly because this disease affects the brain and intelligence, and is also passed on to children. From generation to generation, there are no smart people in the tribe. Through their narration, Dagon confirmed the previous news. The ownership of Egg Island has undergone a change last year, but he didn't expect the lycanthrope tribe to be the main force there - of course, the latter news may be the lycanthrope bragging.

"I'm Dagon · Olison, the Prophet of Auli and Archbishop." Knowing that they couldn't understand such a complicated title, Dagon said simply and bluntly: "I want Egg Island."

"That won't work, you have to win the fight." The lycanthrope bumped his fists with his fists and said, "Fight, do you understand?"

"I brought so many people Going to fight."

"You can't beat us, run away." The lycanthrope smiled slightly, and said, "One bite and you'll be a beast."

"That won't happen." Dagon took off the mage's hand, showing him his broad and strong arm, and said, "Bite it and see if I will contract lycanthropy?"

"Dagon, No!" Saree said hurriedly: "Divine techniques for curing diseases can't guarantee a cure for lycanthropy!"

"That's someone else." Dagon still stretched out his hand and said: " Lycanthropy affects intelligence, if the lycanthropes are defending Egg Island, wouldn't the vanguard be a little too bullying? The victory over the lycanthropes with muskets doesn't seem to be in the mood to celebrate, right?"

Sarri couldn't refute either, the reality was indeed like this. An analogy is the war between lords fighting each other for territory. Knights and elite warriors fight against each other. Although the main killings are still untrained levies and peasant soldiers, it is better than bullying mentally disabled lycanthropes, right? Even if lycanthropy can enhance strength, agility and stamina, opponents who cannot organize complex tactics are at the same level as the previous wolves.

"If I'm lycanthropy, I'll take them back and let you keep Egg Island." Dagon smiled and stretched his hand forward, almost placing his hand on the lycanthrope's mouth.

One bite, a thud, the teeth hit the teeth, and the saliva splattered. Of course Dagon dodged, reaching out to fish in the air, grabbing his saliva in the palm of his hand, and then slapping the lycanthrope on the head. The other two lycanthropes, thinking that Dagon was going to kill their comrade, immediately lunged at Dagon with their fangs open. The soldiers around were not to be trifled with. A second later, the two men were pressed to the ground, and the swords were on their necks.

"It's okay, just hold them down, this one has been immobilized." Dagon's palm continued to emit a breath of divine energy, and a white golden hammer illusory shadow nailed the top of the lycanthrope's head superior. His whole body was trembling, but it was not fear, but he wanted to use his anger to act, but his whole body did not obey.

"Incantation of disease removal is a diving technique that every priest Ori who wants to become a bishop must master," Dagon said to the crowd, especially to the two bishops in the tent: "You have all seen To remove the disease incantation, no matter what kind of patient comes over, as long as you pray and perform the divide technique, you should probably do it, right?"

"The difference in the ability of the divide technique and the level of devotion will make the removal of the disease more effective. There is a difference, but it's basically what the Taoist said." A bishop nods and said: "Does the Taoist want to relieve the beast? If it is a bitten infected, the effect of removing the disease is very good. But looking at their skulls, it should be hereditary lycanthropy. Let alone removing the disease, even regenerative techniques can't remove it."

"What if you could improve the diving technique incantation? Combining surgery and removing the disease..." Dagon smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I know what you want to say, dive technique is not Arcane. It's time to change the old concept!"

After saying this In other words, Dagon's expression became serious, his mind focused on the control of incantation. The essence of the divine technique is a required course for Spiritual God, and only Spiritual God can learn it, while Ais Ain places restrictions on the path of divine enlightenment. Only those who abandon human nature and concentrate on being a god can retain that knowledge and complete the trial. Unless the person can deal with time and the Space Rule, that can do as one pleases. Ordinary Spiritual Gods are neither willing nor able to pass on the essential knowledge of the diving technique to the ordinary person, or even have the idea.

God's Divine Technique is always accompanied by Divine Force, and an ordinary person can't see it or learn it. There is a god Spirit Tool who has all the knowledge but has no divide force. He wants to use the elemental mana of nature to display the divide technique, so he really turns the divide technique into something similar to Arcane. Fortunately, these incantations still need to be driven by divine energy, otherwise they will be regarded as heretical heretics by the priests of the Ori Temple.

A surge of divine energy rippled through the camp, bursting into fleeting flashes of light. The lycanthrope under Dagon's palm sat on the ground, limp and sweaty. His two companions were very worried, howling and struggling like wild beasts, almost overturning the three Jiangu clansman on each of them, and Saree had to call in a few more warriors to increase their load just in case.

The lycanthrope suddenly sat up, scratching his scalp with both hands. His hair was pulled down one by one, and he was drenched with blood on his hands and head, looking very horrific. But everyone noticed that his skull was expanding, and the whole head was no longer narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, but gradually turned into a square face.

"Sacrificing" the hair, and the scalp is full of scars, but the lycanthrope's eyes gradually become clearer. He looked at Dagon with some confusion and said, "I just suddenly realized how I was bullied when I was a voles..."

"Then what else do you know?" Dagon took out a handkerchief and let He wiped the blood from his scalp. The effects of the spell treatment haven't worn off, those wounds are still healing, so a rub is out of the way.

"I...you two, don't move around, I'm fine!" the lycanthrope said, "Look, it's just a little blood, but my mind is clear. Wait, this is Has the lycanthropy been eliminated?"

"Yes, you are relatively young, and the lycanthropy is not serious. Do you know which generation of lycanthropy you are?"

"I grandfather, my father and then me, 1, 2, 3, third generation!" He raised three fingers, then smiled and said, "Look, I counted right!"

"Well, Three generations of Nengji, it seems that the effect is not bad." Dagon patted his shoulder and said, "Do you still think the lycanthropes of Egg Island can defeat me?"

"I just scare you, I can't beat it at all." The lycanthrope smiled sadly and said, "You don't believe it, do you?"

"Almost believe it." Dagon extended the hand to him and said, "You are Shouldn't you give me something?"

"Yes! I have a nice knife in my shoes for cutting rope. I should give it to you, thank you for curing my lycanthropy! ”
