Wizard From Afar

Byrne, outside the Scarlet Blood Castle.

This is a very small military camp, located outside the Scarlet Blood Castle, and was transformed from an abandoned guard tower.

After the tenth generation, because the Torino family lost the title of duke, Byrne was dismembered and was unable to support the huge Knight army. The Torino family, similar to the abandoned guard towers and the Knight fortresses, was located in the outskirts of Byrne and It is everywhere in the wilderness.

The only water well supplies the daily water for all of the sentry tower. The only thing that protects them except for the broken wall of the sentry tower is the surrounding fences and trenches; the three-story sentry tower and two floors leak. Rain, broken fireplaces can cause fires at any time; the bottom of the tower is the bedroom, and the only open space is both a playground and a dining hall.

It is such a tattered and shabby guard tower ruin, no one would want to be the exclusive barracks of the "Duke of Byrne Guard".

Of course, at the moment, this guard is just a nice name, actually there are only 96 people in the Hundred Men Squad.

Different from Torino Wizard Academy, which looks exactly like an "orphanage", an army is impossible to hide in the city, even in the court—the eyeliner of this kind of place is more than the flies in the downtown many.

The only way is to drive them to the wilderness and rebuild the abandoned guard towers and fortresses like other troops preparing for war.

Ninety-six soldiers of the Guard, dressed in tatters and dirty from head to toe, are gathered in four rows on the sunny open space, looking more like refugees than soldiers.

On the opposite side, standing is their group of "refugees" Captain, a gray-eyed boy who is shorter than the shortest soldier; the same ragged clothes, the only difference is the two handles behind. dagger.

Lu Sien with his waist pierced up his head and glanced around, confirming everyone's eyes; beside him, there are twenty wooden boxes of neat and tidy.

"Today is the big day for our army!" With round eyes, the gray-eyed teenager said solemnly: "Five months have passed since its establishment, from 390 to 90. The six people finally have a formal establishment and have our own barracks."

"In order to celebrate, the Duke specially asked me to bring you weapons and equipment, and asked me to send them to each of you. Inside!"

Looking at the excited faces in the crowd, Lu Sien raised the corner of his mouth and kicked the first wooden box.

A brand new long sword was inserted in the soil before his feet.

"You people of Byrne love to use the Knight sword the most. Today I will give you a better one-a half-handed sword forged by the dwarves of Silverhelm Mountain, a pattern steel of thousands hammers, refinements, and a sword edge mixed with secrets. Silver, it’s self-humility to say that cutting iron like mud is considered to be humble!"

"It’s easier to split the armor of a Sacland than to tear a piece of paper; after a battle, even a drop of blood will Don't stay on it!"

The voice fell, and the gray pupil kicked another wooden box, with a small iron rod covered with patterns in his hand.

"You have used Sackland’s military ignitor on the battlefield of Poye. This is an improved version of it. It’s called'unstable ignitor'... Why is it called this name? Because it not only ignites It can be blown up, and it can be blown up if you throw it out;

Even if you don’t have time to throw it, you want to be perish together with the enemy, and blow it up!"

"The shortcomings are the same as the name, extremely different Stable; and what I have in my hand is the improved product among the improved products... Our Lord Duke named it "Alchemy Bomb".

With just one, a fully armed Knight Deep-fried to pieces!"

There is still absolute silence in the crowd, but Lucien can already feel a pair of excited and greedy eyes behind him.

"And your armor, do you know the rock guards of the Western border? They don't wear Knight armor but leather armor made of monster leather. The armor prepared for you is monster leather. The chain armor is light;

The bottom lining is made of fine chain armor. The woven hoop hole is smaller than the pinhole. It can’t be shot through a crossbow in thirty steps!"

"These are just the most basic configurations, including but not limited to daggers, crossbows, hidden swords, alchemy potions...As long as you can think of, there is nothing you want." Loudly shouted:

"In addition to these, until tomorrow, a wizard consultant will bring someone to teach you all kinds of basic knowledge and distribute exclusive wands—all weapons and equipment are tailor-made for you, even the real The guards don’t have this treatment!"

"These! All of them are allocated to us by the Duke from the project account in Scarlet Castle. Now...Who dares to stand up and tell me, Does he deserve to wear this suit?"

"Who dares to stand out and tell me these all are what he deserves?"

One by one, the gray pupils are cold Watching with his eyes, the soldiers who had just been excited by the new weapons and armor immediately recovered their shame.

"You all came back alive from the battlefield of the Great Green Sea. At least three robe lives are on your back; tell me, what we did is considered a qualified team. Guards?!"

"Not to be counted——!!!"

A uniform shout.

"I also know that I am embarrassed-the dignified guard is protected by the person I protect, extraordinary shame and humiliation!" Lu Sien raised his head with a thunderous roar:

"Such good equipment, you gang of soldiers are also worthy! I have been in the fortress of Duanjieshan, where soldiers have to fight against werewolves and monsters in World of Ice and Snow. What did they get? The iron sword that broke in a battle and the shield that was broken by the claws of a werewolf."

"Do you know why the Legion in the Broken Boundary Mountain Fortress has the heaviest armor? Not only to protect the soldiers, but also to guard against They ran away when they saw the enemy; look at the things in front of you, the Duke will have to prepare a pair of steel braces for you!"

"Tell me, what are the guards like us? Use—to live and waste food, die to waste land, went to the battlefield and watched, and made a special trip to cheerleader for Lord Duke?!"

"No——!!!"

"Mute? Be louder, I can't hear--!"

"We are not--!!!"

The hoarse cry was still crying .

"Then what are you?!" Turning around abruptly, the vicious Lucien looked like a little ruffian.

"We are the guard of the Duke of Loren——!!!"

The guards were once again uniformly roared.

"I tell you, no! Not anymore!" Lu Sien waved his hand suddenly: "Our Duke is the one who can end a war by strength of oneself. Sixteen cheerleaders applauding around!"

"From today, our name is Fiend Hunter——!"

"It's not Knight of Byrne, it's not Arles The swordsman is not the guerrilla of Alemans, the archer of Lotaire, the hussar of Boye, the scum of Eboden...not the shield wall of Sackland!"

"What the Duke wants is not a uniform army, but a hunter who can hunt the enemy alone!"

"Our enemy...No, it's prey! Nor is it a bandit, robber, rebel, centaur, or Dwarves, but something more terrifying-yes, just like the one you met on the battlefield of Boye."

"We must be able to fight on flat ground, in trenches, in hills, In the jungle, in the grasslands, in the mountains, in the desert, in the sea, on the ice fields that can freeze the living into the dead, hunt our enemies!"

"We hunt them, just like old hunters hunting rabbits and Like a wolf; be surrounded, ravaged, pursued, fight alone! Sneak attack! Ambush! At all costs, use the last resort!"

"Even with only pointed teeth, I have to kill them too!"

The gray-eyed teenager hoarse, he only felt that his throat was smoking; looking at these warriors whose expressions were completely different from at first, he finally showed satisfaction Smile.

The fanatic mood can make the soldiers swell for a while, and the bloody shame can make them find the courage to strive for progress and sacrifice; the "ethos" in the army unites them and has centripetal force; a strong and fierce goal, Allow them to have the motivation to persevere.

Make them proud, let them find "things" worth sacrifice, and make their expressions all the same...

The genius banner leader of Duanjieshan , I can't understand this better.

More importantly, they are veterans who have been on the battlefield. They are the veterans who have been defeated by more than 390 people since the establishment of the army. Go down and let it become a certain tradition of this army.

This is why Lucien would rather "lift the bar" with Dalton Kander and refuse to give up on them.

Training a group of geniuses from the beginning, he will also; but these people will not have this kind of temperament, they will not have the slightest feeling of gratitude, just as they have obtained through strength, should; they will I have a sense of alienation from the Duke and Captain myself, forming a small circle of my own, with their three-six-nine-classes.

So Lu Sien resolutely quit.

"This afternoon, the Dalton’s wizard advisor, Lord Dalton · Kander, will come to give you the last trial."

After a pause, the gray-eyed boy slowed down his tone. : "According to him, the success rate is only one-fifth;

In other words, at the worst outcome, there may be only one or two of you ninety-six, pass the trial and Survive."

The soldiers of the guards suddenly silenced.

"I'm not joking with you, it's all true; so people who don't want to take this risk...can put down things in the afternoon and leave quietly." lifts the head, Lu Sien Looking at them calmly: "The Duke will give you the compensation you deserve according to your original military position."

"We, just assume you are killed."

The crowd There was no sound in it, and Lu Sien's ferocious gaze definitely didn't look like "dealed in battle".

"As for the people who stayed and survived." Lu Sien raised his voice: "The Duke will stand where I stand at dawn tomorrow, reviewing his new Legion...our Legion !"

The quiet queue suddenly became different.

Even without looking into their eyes, Lu Sien could feel the one after another violently beating, fiery heart.

"What the Duke wants to tell you is that your allegiance is not just Byrne, or even him." With a tight mouth, Lucien sighed: "You are for the entire empire. Even any living person in the empire is fighting."

"Why... don’t talk nonsense, you all saw it on the battlefield!"

"Now because of a letter, Holy Cross Church, Heavenly Vault... and even all the noble lords, can’t wait to strangle Lord Duke, why... I don’t need to explain more, you know in your heart!"

"The thing we encountered on the battlefield ', absolutely impossible suddenly appeared overnight, these fat-headed masters must have known it; but they lifted their heads, closed their eyes, blocked their ears, and pretended not to know!"

"Because If all the truth is revealed, this seems to be prosperous, and the flowers are so colorful that they can indulge in pleasure, open strife and veiled struggle, the empire that beats you to death, simply is a paper house that will be lit at any time!"

took a deep breath, with a trace of indignation, his eyes became more and more scorching: "The prosperity and peace they used to cover up was exposed. They had to turn their heads to face the big trouble that pretended not to exist, and had to do it immediately. Something to make up for..."

"So they hate the duke, and they can’t wait to find a reason now to choke this wicked man who woke them to death."

"So I told Yours is that you not only need to know why you are fighting, but also who you are fighting for; there is only one that can save Byrne and the empire, and is more worthy of your allegiance to the death... and only one——!"

" Lord of Byrne, Loren · Torino——!!!"

There was a thunderous cry, but there was no tragic and crying, more vicious imposing manner.

This is justified!

Looking at the pair of ferocious eyes, Lucian grinned with a grin in his waist, swaggering "pa!" and kicking open the box:

" Everyone-no matter who it is, come forward and get your equipment!"

"Accomplished——!!!"

The soldiers of the guards answered complied in a mess, like An extremely hungry wild beast passed by the gray-eyed boy and rushed to the mouthful of wooden boxes.

Looking at these elated, without knowing that they are about to face a warrior of life and death, the smile on Lu Sien's face gradually faded, leaving a sigh.

I hope that when the time comes, I can still see 96 veterans smiling at themselves.

"Are you worried?"

The sudden voice made Lu Sien's back spine cool, he turned around abruptly, and the expressionless Dalton Kander was standing there. Behind him.

"Witch, wizard advisor, when did you...come?"

"When..." Dalton raised his eyebrows and looked at the sun above his head:

"Always there."

Always... the gray-eyed boy with twitching mouth, almost choked to death by his own saliva.

I didn't even react at all.

"What's the problem?"

A plain sentence that was introduced to Lu Sien's ears was full of irony.

"No, no more."

"No...very good, then don't waste any more time." Dalton · Kander lifts the head, looking still standing in place , Did not notice his 96 test products at all:

"Let’s start, I’m in a hurry."
