Not a Witch

The cold wind is gradually increasing, and as time enters December, the western continent

A war that was rare in nearly a hundred years broke out, and the last time such a large-scale mobilization of troops was the "Battle of the Broken Bow" one or two hundred years ago.

The former Luerna, half of Verga, Black Rock, and Falcon formed a new alliance, Frost Rose.With their fortitude and vision at the time of establishment, they marched towards Clancia in four directions, preparing to eat away the big country on the west side of the continent.

Since the destruction of West Wind, the former alliance of the Seven Kingdoms of Xuehua has disappeared, and the current vigorous civil war has begun.As the opponent of the Xuehua United and the most powerful empire on the mainland, the Cangcui Empire is now also facing an undercurrent of power struggle and alternation.

The health of the two old emperors is declining day by day, and the wedding date of the crown princes is gradually approaching.

The Green Empire, the imperial capital Titania.

The wide front door, which was normally closed, was slowly being pushed open.

The gate is about 20 meters high, allowing 100 carriages to travel side by side, and [-] fully armored knights can stand side by side at the gate.

The magnificent and majestic city gate reflects a purple-gold halo under the sunlight, and there are exquisite rose vine patterns carved in it, showing the gorgeous aesthetics of the elves.

When the city gate was opened, there were knights of honor wearing crimson and emerald green robes and armor behind them. They stood on both sides of the main road, one person every 10 steps, and held a 5-meter-high hanging flag in their hands.

These flags have different colors and different shapes of family crests, all of which can be displayed at this time are the family crests of Earl and above, and these ceremonial knights holding flag guns are all Transcendent Sequence 5 (Gold Rank) ) above exists.

There are more than 1200 honor guard knights and more than 1200 noble family crests along the way, and this is only a small part of the welcoming team. Behind these two honor guard knights are 8000 elite royal knights with a Transcendent Sequence 4 or higher.They were wearing silver armor, with red and green rose badges on their chests, holding halberds, and isolated the crowd behind them.

With a slight wind of magic power blowing, wine red and tender green rose petals floated from the air, and slowly fell on the long central carpet, causing the crowd onlookers to scream and cheer.

Faced with such a grand occasion, a team outside the city holding high a platinum-gold banner slowly entered the city.

About 2000 knights wearing gold-rimmed armor on a white background lined up in a neat line. They held lances with platinum griffin banners, protected the three luxurious carriages in the center, and walked slowly into the city under the gaze of everyone.

The leader of the team was a knight wearing gorgeous gold armor and a golden-red cloak. He was not wearing a helmet at the moment, with slightly dull blond hair, many wrinkles on his face, and a gray-white beard.

This seemingly old man with sharp eyes is the current Duke of Griffon. This time, at the invitation of the current emperor, he brought his son and daughter to the imperial capital.

According to many people's guesses, the current royal family may marry the family of the Duke of Griffin, the Salius family, which means that a crown prince will marry the daughter of the Salius family, and the eldest son of the Salius family, Jalan Well, will also marry an imperial princess.

In this way, the close relationship between the royal family and the Salius family can be maintained, and it can be used as a heavy ballast stone in the undercurrent of power alternation, maintaining the stability of the empire.

All of a sudden, the situation gathered and the momentum rose. The object of discussion in the imperial capital also shifted from the future White Queen to the family of the Duke of Griffin who is now entering the city.

Wearing silver-backed and gold-rimmed armor, Jaylann rode behind his father on a tall horse. He raised his right hand and waved it slowly, responding to the excited and burning gazes of the people on the side of the street.

Numerous noble girls showed their gorgeous and bright dresses, blooming like flowers. They uttered screams and cries, just to attract the eyes of the eldest son of the griffin, as if the love story in the poem was about to happen to him. staged.

Facing such a scene, for the sake of image, Jailan had no choice but to keep a smile on his face, but his heart drifted unknowingly to the scene in his memory, the black-haired girl standing quietly under the slanting light.

Even if you were born in the top wealthy family in the empire, there are some moments in your life when you can't help yourself

Chapter 150: Under the Flying Snow

In early January, Gufia Grassland.

It was supposed to be the season of flying snow and desolation, but this year's grassland is very different.Taking advantage of the inability to graze in winter and when a large number of people are free, vigorous construction is going on on the grassland.

The fine gravels transported from Hanyan County in the south are paved, and a series of spacious main roads begin to extend in the grassland and gradually connect the main areas of the grassland.

Road construction is the foundation of all development, and after the large-scale construction work last year, in addition to continuing to build roads this year, there has also been a movement to build blue brick and stone houses in various places.

Although tents can shelter from the wind, the effect of keeping warm is not good. In winter, a lot of firewood is consumed to keep warm, but the thick blue brick and stone house is different. It has good heat insulation effect, warm in winter and cool in summer, and is durable and more suitable for living.What's more, after the new type of red clover is planted, the herdsmen don't have to move around to rotate pastures, and they can now settle down.

Under the guidance of the technical officials from Crancia, the orcs began to gather in tribes to build cities, and then started a new round of construction.

The gathering place of the Lion's Mane clan, now there is a colorful circle on the frost-covered grassland, and in the center of the circle is a basin that emits heat.

After being explored by the orc shamans, there is an underground lava river that is closer to the surface, and after nearly a hundred high-ranking shamans jointly cast spells, the land here is separated, exposing the scorching flame basin .According to this special high-temperature lava river, various metallurgical workshops began to be built around it, casting tools, armor, and weapons.

Today, the Lion's Mane Clan is full of excitement. Tall and strong warriors of different races gather here. They are lined up in several long lines to accept the award of armor and weapons one by one.

"Now the Principality of Black Rock is blatantly invading our country's borders. According to the Covenant of Flame and Starlight, we orcs will recruit warriors from all races to support the battle. The selected warriors will be awarded with suitable weapons and weapons at each designated meeting point, and then received The leader of the patrolling cavalry general traveled thousands of miles south to attack the Principality of Black Rock and defeat the enemy army."

A tall orc propagandist stood on the stage, repeating these words over and over again, telling them the current situation and why they were fighting.

"glory!"

The orcs held up their thick arms with angry expressions, as if they were about to face not a battlefield of life and death, but a stage of incomparable glory.

They are not willing to be quiet and weak by nature. In the past, the scenes of internal friction due to a series of problems such as food, supplies, and ethnic conflicts do not exist. Now this battle is the best time to vent the depression that has lasted for a thousand years.

They will once again unite under the same banner of the orcs, follow the oracle of the Lady of Flame, march thousands of miles south, and prove their former glory and dignity with a huge holy war.

The hammer strikes, sparks fly, quenched and formed, and the handle is attached. Brand new huge battle axes and spears are manufactured on the assembly line.

And the quartermaster, who couldn't wait for a long time, ordered the soldiers to move the boxes of weapons to the outdoor distribution place, so that the orc warriors could take the weapons they had in hand.

"One piece for everyone, don't crowd, there is something for everyone!"

Seeing the orcs in the audience excitedly touching the smooth and sharp carburized steel weapons, the quartermaster with horns also grinned.

How many years have the orcs not been equipped with such brand-new and excellent weapons, the last 'Battle of the Broken Bow'?Or was it the glorious era of the Madfang Empire thousands of years ago?It has been too long, so long that their generation only fantasizes about that great era in the stories of the old people.

boom--

With a loud noise, the forging hammer fell high and hit the large piece of steel below, gradually forming tough armor pieces one by one, and then continued to be processed by the armor makers.The last piece of heavy plate armor suitable for the figure of an orc appeared at the end of the assembly line.

After passing the inspection by technicians, the black and gold plate armor made by special craftsmanship will be distributed to those orcs who are waiting to set off.

【black

Gold Plate Armor o Rapid Formation] (Excellent Silver Level): Rapid Formation armor that combines extraordinary craftsmanship and past armor-making technology. Although the texture is average, fortunately it can be manufactured in large quantities quickly.

This was transformed by Lorraine Hill last year based on the Twilight Age technology left in the system. Originally, this technology was actually used to make airship protective shells in the early Twilight Age.

If the skills of the late twilight era are used, coral-level high-strength armor can be popularized and manufactured, which is the configuration for wars in that era. Unfortunately, various materials, equipment, and talents are currently limited, so it can only be mass-produced. Kind of armor.

Fortunately, even the early products, with the advantages of civilization technology, are still ahead of this era, and the quality is much higher than the same level of products of Frost United.

After being awarded to these already strong orcs, it can be said that they are even more powerful, and they have good resistance to ordinary muskets.

In the forging hall, a leader with a thick and heavy sword strode in. He was wearing a thick armor with a black background and a gold border. Hearing the sound of the heavy armor colliding, it was estimated that it weighed hundreds of catties.

"Isn't my helmet finished yet?" The voice was like rolling thunder.

The lion mane leader's expression was full of anger, coupled with his own terrifying strength, it made the craftsmen who made the armor feel a little scared.Even knowing that under the current rule of Crancia, the orc leader would not kill indiscriminately, the oppression from the soul and extraordinary core still made everyone's heart beat faster and their backs sweat.

"Lord Leiden, wait a moment. Your helmet has been roughly forged, but the final rivet reinforcement has not been completed, and it needs to be adjusted according to your head shape." A human craftsman came over, holding a helmet in his hand. a hammer.

"Can you hurry up?" After hearing such an answer, Layton's expression eased.

"Here... let me take you over to have a look."

Compared with the general silver-level plate armor, the quality of this mighty and exquisite helmet is probably rare gold-level, but the engraving pattern of wheat ears and stars on it has not been strengthened yet.

"How can it be built as soon as possible, and now the army is about to leave." Layton picked up the helmet and put it on his head, as if some parts were still a little loose.

"These corners have to be reinforced." He said, and then looked at the craftsman in front of him.

"You hit me directly on the head, it's faster, and the size is easier to control."

"This... are you sure you want to do this?" The craftsman on the side was a little hesitant. Such a heavy blow is enough to shatter the head of an ordinary person, even a superhuman...

"That's right, that's it." Seeing that the craftsman didn't veto it, and knowing that it was generally feasible, Layton felt joyful and boldly affirmed.

"Okay." The craftsman leader took a deep breath and asked other craftsmen around to help.

They first made the nearly three-meter-tall lion-mane leader sit on an iron chair, then fixed his head and body, and then took a hammer and a red-hot iron to beat and rivet them together.

bang-boom-

The dull voice echoed in the forging room where the fire was burning. The craftsmen and orc warriors looked at the leader who was under the hammer, and saw him clenching his teeth, with a resolute expression, without saying a word, until the end, the top The helmet is molded to the body like a cast of steel.

After the forging was completed, the heroic lion mane leader stood up, picked up the giant sword beside him, walked out the door surrounded by a dozen warriors, and came to the high platform that had already been built.

"Target, Black Rock."

He held up the heavy sword and shouted: "For the fire and the glory, go forward!"

"glory!"

The heavy battle axes overflowing with cold light were held high, and countless orc warriors shouted in unison. In this cold afternoon with snow falling, groups of dark orc teams headed south to the scorching battlefield.

Chapter 150 Nine

Lorraine Hill looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky, stretched out his hand to catch a few, and watched carefully before it melted.

It's a new year again.She sighed in her heart.

Since leaving Emenas, time seems to be speeding up. Among the former classmates, some of them must have entered the fifth grade and are about to graduate.

In the era of rapid changes, the passage of time has become more and more rapid.

And when the girl was standing in the courtyard, a maid in a black and white dress stepped on the snow.

"Your Highness Lorraine Hill, the team is ready." Palinsa looked at the young sage in front of her.

"Well, I'll go right away." The silver-haired girl turned around. Today, she was wearing a snow-white winter dress, with only a little silver pattern on the corner, which complemented the soft silver hair behind her.

Seeing the girl who was about to walk out of the courtyard, Palinsha hesitated for a moment before asking.

"His Royal Highness, do you really want to come to the front line in person? The current situation is not stable..."

Lorraine Hill pulled up the white hood behind him and answered softly.

"I know, but it's a bit uneasy for me to wait like this. In addition, regarding the safety issue, it shouldn't be a big problem if Mr. Ferheran is with you." When Lorraine Hill said, he touched the inner part of his clothes Feeling the warm feeling from the pocket watch, my heart suddenly settled down.

Although there is more than one Sequence Nine of the Frost United, it is impossible to advance under perfect conditions when the war has progressed to this point. Any career or great cause has risks and ups and downs.For future victory, now is the time to fight by yourself.

"If you don't set an example, how can you convince everyone."

"Palinsa, you must have read the legend about Roland opening up the Kingdom of the West Wind. The direction of the flag is thousands of scenes, and the hearts of the people are one."

"Now it's just a matter of fulfilling my duties."

"But you're different...if anything happens to you, all..."

"But everyone is the same, how many children and pillars of the family are spilling blood on the ground ahead, and as long as there is no victory, this situation will continue."

"Okay, why are you so sentimental today, aren't you usually very capable." Lorraine Hill turned her head and looked at the maid standing in the snow.

"Don't worry, I'll be back." Her voice was stable and clear.

Palinsa looked at the silver-haired girl and bit her lower lip, knowing that she could not stop this determined sage.She lifted her skirt, lowered her body and saluted, and said in a deep voice.

"I wish you a triumphant return."
