The Rise of the Cemetery

The leader of the Redbeard Thieves, Mook, does not have a big red beard. He is of dwarf blood and always likes to smear the blood of the enemy on his gray beard when the battle is fiercest, so he got this "red beard". "The bandit number.

Compared with the other two thieves groups who like to run around and commit crimes, Muke stationed his 900-strong thieves group in a remote valley that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. This valley is at a moderate distance from the commercial road and the border. It is very convenient for robbing caravans or fleeing to other noble territories. This allowed him to escape the siege of the kingdom's army many times and became the longest-surviving man in Ewans County. Thieves group.

However, the news from the past two days made Muke restless.

Viscount Howard Hans, the largest lord in the northern part of Ewans County, Doberman, intends to clean up the trade routes again, and he is targeting his own red beard bandit group. Compared with the previous campaigns, the Knights of the Kingdom were the main force, and the coalition forces of several major lords in the county assisted. The bandits were powerless to resist, so they could only hide and run away. But it is rumored that the main force this time is the Viscount's 500 city guards, and a mercenary group of 1,300 people was hired. Such a team also wants the thieves to give up the fat on their lips, but it is not enough.

Those city guards who can only walk around the city with guards of honor, inspect the city defense, and bully barefoot farmers are scumbags when they are pulled out of the city. Only the mercenary regiment of more than 1,300 people still has a little fighting power, but it is not enough to let themselves abandon the just now. It's a decently run camp!

Mu Ke, who was already a little hesitant, was full of disdain when he thought of the two colleagues who sneaked up to discuss with him yesterday.

The gray wolves and vulture thieves, who were not on good terms with each other, all sent their men to persuade him to stick to the camp, and promised that as long as he could withstand the attack of the Viscount's troops for a day, they would lead people to copy the troops. back road. After the viscount's only mobile unit is wiped out at that time, maybe everyone can go to Dubin City to have some fun.

For the promises of these two peers, Mu Ke didn't believe it at all.

There were more than 700 members of the Gray Wolf Thieves Group, and a cavalry regiment of more than 100 people was formed with the stolen horses. Although most of them are ragged horses, which are much weaker than regular cavalry regiments, they are considered unique in Ewans County. Their backstage is probably the well-known Haidier Chamber of Commerce, which specializes in smuggling. And the 600-member Condor Bandit is even less trustworthy. Others may not know it, but Muck has a secret way to know that the Condor Thieves Group is most likely funded by Viscount Howett.

Oh, what a funny thing! The viscount sent troops to wipe him out, but the viscount's dark chess came to persuade him to resist with all his strength. It seemed that he really regarded himself as a mindless ogre in the wasteland. Muck spat bitterly, a group of sons of bitches didn't have the guts to lick blood from the knife edge, but would only instigate some schemes behind their backs. It seems that I should have a heart-to-heart talk with Gray Wolf at the right time, and I also need an ally.

3 days passed in a flash.

Just as Mook was racking his brains for the unpredictable future, the small team of Casas had already set off with the viscount coalition forces. The city guard of 500 people was led by the viscount family knight Antok, an orthodox knight with a good knight education. This middle-aged man with short brown hair and a cold face, even though he was wearing full-body armor, could reveal a soldier's unique fortitude in his actions and demeanor. The short contact before departure left a good impression on the three mages. At least in Li Xun's soul vision, he was still a friendly light green color.

The 500-strong city guard guarded the small team of mages in the middle, and handed over the front, rear, left, right, and security tasks to the mercenary group, and walked along the main road in Ewans County towards the northwest target.

Although the most likely attack opportunity was analyzed after the war, when the three mages lost more than half of their mana, there was no guarantee that the enemy would not launch a surprise attack before then. Therefore, the guarding knights who had been warned also took care of themselves. Every time they camped, they were meticulous in diet, guarding, and vigil. The three mages even used magic guards to protect themselves from leaking water, and for the first time, they also took turns to join the vigil. team.

Fortunately, the three of them had a lot of magic equipment to restore their spirits and physical strength. The loss of their strength during the three-day journey was almost negligible, and they maintained a complete combat strength that could be thrown into battle at any time.

Set up a simple barracks in front of the valley camp of the Redbeard Bandit. For the mage's safety, the mage's camp was placed at the rear. When the Antok knight asked the mage to discuss this, Kasas agreed with a serious expression.

"We have really spared no effort to calculate! We are specially placed in the back, which is obviously for protection, but when the front line is in an emergency, and we are attacked from behind by a team, we will have nowhere to go. It seems that the enemy's plan is wrong. That’s the case.” Siris raised a corner of the tent and looked at the figure of the Antok knight going away. The pair of eyes that were as deep as a pool on her beautiful face revealed an eternal coldness. Under the icy cold is buried hot magma that has been suppressed for a long time.

Li Xun dragged his chin and kept looking at the angry girl. It has been less than a month since we first met. A gentle and confused genius magical girl has turned into a cold and stern female angry youth. Everything you look at is a conspiracy, everything you look at is a scheme, it will turn black sooner or later, what a pity!

Although Siris's personality tends to be a bit black, but the calculation is not outrageous, and this camp is indeed very problematic. It is conceivable that when the viscount coalition army besieged the thieves camp at a critical moment, most of the troops would inevitably move forward. At this time, an elite force went straight to the mage camp from behind...

Hehe, the three defenseless mages in the chaos suddenly encountered a close-up sneak attack by the drow team, and there is little possibility of retreating completely!

Casas closed his eyes and thought about it for a moment, then started a simple arrangement: "We all know the general arrangement of the other party, as long as we are prepared, it will not be so easy for them to sneak attack, at least three mages who can fly will be helpless. "

Li Xun added: "Don't worry too much. I have been in contact with people in the team these days, and most of them don't know about it. You should know that I am gifted with a keen sense of perception, and I can feel the hostility and kindness of others towards me. So We don't have to worry about facing everyone at all, but only need to face the viscount's confidants and the dark elves' squad. In addition, I think Antok knights are also very upright, and they must have been deceived and used. The viscount's confidants must have other things people."

Casas had guessed about Li Xun's special talent for a long time. Even His Majesty the Grand Master once praised him. It must be superhuman. After listening to Li Xun's talk today, he realized that it was so heaven-defying! What an amazing ability to be able to perceive other people's positions!

It was the first time for Siris to hear about it, and she was envious for a while, and finally began to seriously criticize this mage "student" who often did amazing things. Black hair and black pupils, fair face (typical characteristics of otaku), thin body but with the unique vigor of young people, he does not maintain a serious expression like Casas, but always smiles, looks like Racial traits of the kingdom of Braeland in the south.

As for why the mages of the Kingdom of Breland went to the northernmost Principality of Novus to become contract mages, this is not surprising.

From a sorcerer's apprentice to becoming a full-fledged sorcerer is an extremely strict threshold, which cannot be crossed by studying and studying, so Klein Continent pursues the apprentice travel system. After three years of learning magic knowledge, apprentices will go out to participate in experience, travel around the world, and try to hone their magic ability in various dangerous situations. Therefore, many apprentices will register as mages nearby after they advance to official mages in their experience, and may be invited by the local country as contract mages.

Of course, the major kingdoms also have measures to avoid brain drain, such as reserving some suitable areas in their own country as training grounds. Siris completed her mage training under the protection of the royal family, so she is more inclined towards academic mages. It can be seen from this that Master Li Xun is likely to be born as a commoner, which is why he was exiled in other countries and registered as a master.

Well, becoming a level 6 mage at the age of 18 is a bit worse than myself, but for the sake of having a top talent, it should be worth wooing! Siris rolled her eyes and began to secretly think for herself, and she was startled when she saw the young mage turned her head and took a deep look at herself.

Isn't it only possible to perceive the good and evil of others? Could it be that if you are so close, you can even detect the thoughts in other people's hearts?

Siris couldn't help feeling horrified, and hurriedly sat a little far away, silently praying that she would not be so unlucky, that after meeting a terrifying psion, she would meet a little psion again!

The countermeasures discussed by the three of Casas are also very simple. In fact, the mage's attack has always been very simple.

In the past, under the protection of the meat shield, they bombed the opponent to their heart's content. Now that the meat shield is unreliable, they can only rely on their own flying skills to keep the distance. Anyway, I have never heard that drow can fly. At that time, you only need to fly to the sky, protect yourself from long-range attacks, and leave the rest to Fireball.

The simplest tactics are the most reliable tactics, mages don't even need tactics, just fireball-fireball-fireball.

Li Xun silently took out his "soul weaver" staff. After some disguise, this staff looks inconspicuous in appearance, and he is not worried about what Kasas and the two can detect. It is time to let it It's open.

After being promoted to level 6, Li Xun has already discovered that some small fights in the past are no longer enough to support his upgrade. Only a certain scale of war can increase his experience value, so he is concerned about all the excitement. flock to.

After a night of rest, the coalition forces officially began the siege of the Redbeard Bandit's lair on the 7th day after departure.
