Not a Witch

Her body became a little lighter, and with the help of her arms, she quickly rolled and turned around, dodging the enemy's sweep again, but her face was cut by the aftermath of the cold front of the halberd, and a line of bright red blood flowed out. .

At this moment, she didn't have the heart to deal with this kind of minor wound, because the next attack came again, and this time it was difficult to dodge.

Jena struggled to get up from the ground, but her knees were on the ground, and she put the knife on her shoulder to block the halberd that fell down.

The heavy halberd was sliced ​​open by the sharp blade, and a part of the head hit Jena's shoulder directly, breaking several bones and drawing long bloodstains.

The left shoulder is useless.

Jena's heart sank. Such an injury cannot be recovered in a short time.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the enemy's weapon was damaged, she escaped, shifted to the outside, and finally left the leader's attack range.Although her current strength is far inferior to this leader, fortunately, her body is light and her speed is worse than that of the heavily armored mercenary leader.

Enduring the pain, she held the sword in her right hand and drew several cold arcs in the air, cutting out bright red gashes on the soldiers who surrounded her to prevent her from leaving, making them lie down howling, unable to continue to stop her, and then ran Go to your own horse, get on the horse, and leave for the time being.

Before the horse under her took a few steps, a dangerous signal surfaced in her supernatural perception. Before she could turn around and observe, she lay down on her side urgently, and a long gun passed by her side, taking away a piece of bloody skin at her elbow. Then disappear into the night.

so close.

If she hadn't reacted, the spear would have passed through her chest.

On the rugged mountain road, she struggled to twitch the horse under her body, galloped in the night, jumped directly off the road, and entered the field below, so that she escaped briefly from the rear shooting with the help of the occlusion of her sight.

Panting violently, one man and one horse ran wildly at night, dodging the pursuers behind them, until they walked farther and farther away, while the voices behind them became more and more sparse and quiet.

Finally, after confirming her safety, Jena finally stopped the horses under her, and one person and one horse fell exhausted in a mountain depression.With the help of the dark night, she finally escaped those people's pursuit.

After recovering, she took out several medicine bottles and gauze from the packages on both sides of the saddle, and then began to treat the wound on her body.

Only then did she notice the ubiquitous pain in her body. During the short confrontation, not only the wounds on the surface of the body, but also many internal organs and bones were also injured.

Recalling the first aid knowledge taught by her father, Jena handled the wound on her body step by step, bandaged it carefully, and prayed in her heart not to get sick and have a fever.This place is remote, not a good place to recuperate.

At night, after comforting the frightened horse, Jena also closed her heavy eyelids and slowly fell asleep.

Clanthia, County Needle.

"Your Highness, where have you been these few days?"

After returning to the caravan in the city, Mira looked curiously at the returning Lorraine Hill. His Highness was now wearing boots and a hood, and seemed to have traveled a long way.

"Let's go to the east to find an old friend." Lorraine Hill undid the rope buckle at the collar, took off the jacket, exposed the jacket inside, rearranged his hair again, and then sat down on the table and chair to rest.

"He will come over soon, but I have to see the local chief in the next two days."

Lorraine Hill talked about his decision.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now." Mira nodded.

Chapter 46 The Horn of Dawn

In the morning, Jena wakes up to the sound of birds chirping.

She moved her body a little bit. Fortunately, when she was resting in the natural sequence at the Walled City Academy, she learned to make a lot of potions. Although they are very common in school and no one needs them, these potions have played a great role now. , Let her wounds heal quickly.

After taking out the food in the saddle bag and eating it briefly, she did not wander around, but continued to cultivate on the spot and began to practice her own Transcendent Sequence.

Although it is Sequence 2 now, but fortunately, he had advanced experience before, so it is not difficult to improve his strength.

--------

Ned County.

Lorraine Hill was wearing a black windbreaker coat, and her silver snow hair fell on the hood and clothes fluff behind her. She walked on the stairs and boarded a clock tower in the city, overlooking the city.

"His Royal Highness."

Nearly ten officials walked behind him respectfully, and also stood still, waiting nervously for His Highness's question.They were the mayors of the various cities in Needle County, and several sheriffs.

"How many garrisons are there in Ned County today?" The sage who looked like a girl turned around and asked the people behind him.

"Report Your Highness."

"Today, there are 8000 garrisons in Nieder County, of which 3000 are guarding the mountain passes and checkpoints at the border, and 5000 are scattered in various cities. In addition, there are about 12000 reserve troops with military training experience. If a war breaks out, they can be recruited temporarily."

There are more than 600 million people in Ned County. Among the 34 counties in Crancia, its population is not large, and it is considered to be in the lower middle.Coupled with the remote location and the oppression of the westerly wind in the past, the living environment of the residents is poor. Although there is a large area of ​​land, most of them are mountainous areas without human habitation.

"How many of them are extraordinary?"

“其中超凡者大多为序列1-2，人数约1000，序列3以上的大概60-80人。”

"Are there any other fighting forces in the area?"

"Yes, the local Church of Angels, the Transcendent faction, and the regional Alchemist Association. The Transcendents of the Angel Church add up to about 100 people, the Transcendent faction has about 500 people, and the local alchemists have about 200 people. However, these alchemists, because Lacking some advanced knowledge, most of its strength is not high, it can only be used as an auxiliary personnel, and it is not good at fighting."

"There are quite a few people from the extraordinary faction." Lorraine Hill sighed a little.

"Yes, my lord, most of them have been passed down for many years, and they also have their own unique advancement channels." A certain official seemed to want to say something, and after a few seconds of hesitation, he chose to speak.

"Your Highness, these extraordinary factions have established a network of relationships in the local area based on the master-student relationship and inheritance. Sometimes facing them, some laws and rules are not very easy to implement..."

"What was it like during the West Wind?" Lorraine Hill did not answer immediately, but wanted to understand the past environment. .

"During the West Wind period, the local nobles would send their descendants into it to learn some skills and improve the Transcendent Sequence. At the same time, they used this as a bond to make friends with a group of Transcendents and ask them to help with things."

"I see." Lorraine Hill nodded.

"Although they are supernatural beings, they still have to abide by domestic laws. If they still refuse to accept the clear warning, they can apply for support from the Crancia Central."

Facing the current Clancia, these people may feel a little bit disappointed, because Clancia will not provide you with special rights just because you are a superhuman.

This is also the fundamental difference between Clancia and Frost Rose.

In the constitution established by Crancia, all people are equal, regardless of high or low.This is the foundation of the country, and the banner and slogan of the uprising, and it is the fundamental concept that cannot be changed.

But West Wind and Frost Rose are different. Although Frost Rose has some so-called "democratic" votes, in fact, the voting weights of ordinary people, rich people, and extraordinary people are completely different. Thousands of times.

Frost Rose imitates the Verdant Empire and establishes a pyramid society with an orderly hierarchy. Everyone will be sorted according to their wealth and strength, regardless of their rank.

The only thing that is better than Cang Cui is that they no longer discuss bloodlines and the like.On the basis of this, Cangcui also considers your origin, parental family, historical glory, etc.

In terms of class construction, Cang Cui has gone to the extreme, with a set of complex and logical aristocratic theories.

The advantage of this is that the country can be controlled with relatively simple labor costs.As the emperor, as long as the relationship between several royal families, dukes, and important earls is dealt with, the general framework of the country will not be in chaos.

As a duke, as long as he guarantees that the following earls are loyal to him, there will be no disturbances in the area under his rule.The advantage of Green is that even if there are outstanding and emerging geniuses among the common people (in fact, there are very few in the absence of education), they are either recruited by the great nobles as sons-in-law or married into their families, or given some fields and positions To store.Being absorbed into the new nobles in this way, they are cut off from the original class and environment, and will no longer think about rebellion.

Of course, even among nobles, there is competition, but that is another model.

In the long run, the result is that the people at the bottom of the green are like the grain in the field, shriveled and numb. They do rough and hard work, and they grow and die like weeds.

From the perspective of other countries, Crancia is doing the hard work.

He tries to make everyone human.

Being human means providing education, medical care, and a good living environment, which requires a huge and long-term investment, but what is the return?

Unreal loyalty?Work a little harder?

They couldn't think of anything else to look forward to.

Perhaps this is the innocent dream of a young girl.

But in reality, dreams will wake up eventually, and Frost Rose United doesn't mind being a cruel person who tears apart this dream.They will govern and rule the Seven Snow Kingdoms in their own way, and then move towards the direction of their hearts.

And this direction is definitely not the direction Lorraine Hill wants to see.

If there were no people like Pullman and Clancia, perhaps she would have lived in seclusion because of her personality.

But now that she has come to this point, she will no longer just sit idly by and watch this beautiful ideal collapse in front of her.

"My idea is to set up a military academy in the local area, which is specially used to train young people. The tactics and skills taught are mainly adapted to the characteristics of the local environment. At the same time, I will specialize in learning some knowledge about local Warcraft and familiarize myself with its habits and weaknesses. , to deal with its attacks."

"Due to the specialization of the content of the professor, it will save a lot of cost and facilitate the rapid popularization. These people will serve as excellent reserves, militia teams, law enforcement teams, etc. Among them, excellent students will be selected to continue their studies and accept more Comprehensive training and education."

"Then these people form a team, all composed of extraordinary people, that can quickly support the knights everywhere."

"Of course, this is just my suggestion. You are locals and are more familiar with the local conditions. There are some deficiencies that need to be improved together."

Lorraine Hill's proposal triggered a discussion among the accompanying people, and then they supplemented and improved a lot based on their daily experience.

Finally, everyone began to discuss the name of this new knight order.

"What name does His Highness Sage think is better?" Several people looked at each other, stopped discussing, and turned to ask the girl standing in the morning light.

Seeing the sun gradually rising through the mist in the distance, the young sage replied softly, "Let's call it the Horn of Dawn Knights."

Chapter 47 Army Building

Jiena found a new place in the mountains, and after three days of repairing, not only healed her injuries, but also raised her strength to Sequence 3 again. Now her extraordinary job agent is War Sequence 3o Frost Sharp, this job Jie focuses on strengthening the agility of the body, and can make his weapons sharper, and finally has a certain icy effect.

Among the job agencies of the same level that Jena knew, it was relatively rare and difficult. She had never been sure about advancing, until recently she made up her mind and decided to take a gamble.

If she chooses other ordinary jobs to advance to Sequence 3, she is not very sure to deal with so many soldiers, but now that she has advanced to this job, she is a little more sure.

After repairing, she set off again, planning to visit the village again.

There are dark clouds in the sky, and it is gray. Even in the daytime, it is not very bright.Jiena rode a horse and proceeded carefully on the mountain road. When she came to the village not far away, she turned over, tied the horse in the woods on one side, hid it slightly, and then approached cautiously with a long knife.

There is no lack of trees and shrubs in the mountains, which gave her a space to hide. After spending some thought, the girl slowly approached the village.

At this time, there was no one here, only burned houses, dilapidated ruins, and trampled fields left.

She walked out from behind the woods, checked the traces of the horseshoes on the side of the road, and roughly inferred the whereabouts of this group of people.

It just so happened that she was going to the west, and dropped by Fengyan City where she was going.

After that, she didn't stay any longer, returned to the woods, and rode on the road again.

--------

The capital of Ned County, Iron Felt City.

As the name suggests, there are many blacksmith workshops here.A long time ago, the iron ore in Ned County was transported here for smelting, and there were also many craftsmen who forged iron.

However, with the rise of Red Gravel City in the northwest, this method of making iron by hand has gradually become obsolete.Although there are still many blacksmith shops, they are definitely not comparable to those at their peak.

At this moment, many young people gathered in front of a school in the city. They came from various villages in the mountains and were summoned by the local government.

They will start training for three months from today. The food and clothing during the training will be funded by the local government to facilitate unified management.During this period of time, they will acquire certain military literacy.

From the perspective of Lorraine Hill's system, in the column of personal skills, add an item, military literacy LV. Orders, etc.), these people will become the future reserves, and will be called up urgently during wars.
