Chapter 104 Counterattack
Regarding the insect attack last night, it was solved hastily.
For example, if someone dies on a Sask farm, the farmer will continue to farm while the farmer is still alive. If the farmer dies and there is no heir, the town will take it back and continue to sell it to outsiders.
Duke didn't care.
The unexpected enlightenment directly saved him more than half a year. Even before June passed, he was directly promoted to a five-star spiritual apprentice.
So during the next period of time, he prepared to retreat and concentrate on solidifying his spiritual core.
Compared with being promoted to level 1 Arcane Mage, nothing around me can compare. This is the top priority in life.
"Captain Zina, my card repairer friend is going to study abroad recently, so I won't accept the card repair business for the time being." Duke first went to the location of the Broken Sword Mercenary Group, found Captain Zina, and suspended the business. cooperate.
Zina was a little regretful, but she didn't force it: "Okay, let's wait until he comes back, and we will continue to cooperate." Then she went
to several consignment points in the town, settled the money for the refurbished cards, and then stopped cooperating with them all. Sell cards.
He no longer even went on adventures in the forest.
Just stay in the villa, Duke solidifies the spiritual core by himself during the day, and leaves it to Xiaoyi to solidify the spiritual core by hanging up at night.
24 hours a day without stopping.
However, he is not blind to what is going on outside the window. He will still attend the weekly open classes of the Faling Club.
By the way, I asked about the progress of the pioneering war from other spiritual disciples.
The attack by the burrowing army ants caused huge losses to the Physalis Blood Spirit Fruit planting area in Sheshou Town. The cantharis army may face a crisis of acid shortage. Although the acid cantharides can eat other foods, they do not produce special acid when eating other foods.
In other words, this insect wave attack destroyed most of the combat effectiveness of the Cantharis Legion.
For this reason, a level 2 arcanist in the Snakehead Town in Bernoulli's Mage Tower, who is also the commander of the Cantharis Legion, East, had to streamline the Cantharis Legion, concentrate the elite bugs among the acid cantharides, and reorganize it. whole team.
Then he took this streamlined elite cantharides regiment and headed towards Cuihai Valley.
Several teams of knights under the banners of different nobles guarded East and his elite cantharides regiment.
Countless mercenary groups followed behind, preparing to swarm over to seize resources after the burrowing army ant nest was breached.
Arcane Mage-Knights-Mercenary Group, this is the standard mode of pioneering war.
With the help of the elite Cantharidin Corps, the army was overwhelming and directly attacked the three burrowing army ant nests on the second passage leading to Cuihai Valley. Except for the queen of one nest who escaped, the queens of the other two nests were all gone. be killed.
In an instant, the second passage was successfully opened.
With the first passage from the south to the north, it formed a situation of attacking Cuihai Valley from both sides.
Next, we need to open up the third, fourth and even more safe passages, not only to completely surround Cuihai Valley, but also to cut off the surrounding large forests, concentrate superior forces, and eliminate threats one area after another.
Once the surrounding areas are cleared, it will be time for the decisive battle in Cuihai Valley.
Through countless pioneering wars over countless years, mankind has long honed a complete set of ways to open up habitats.
Even in the earliest days of the Seven Towers Federation, a few arcane mages who were ostracized in the Storm Empire led their followers all the way through the forest before erecting their own mage towers on this continent. Day after year, the disciples and grandsons of Master Arcane continue to open up.
Eventually, the now powerful Seven Towers Federation was formed.
Nowadays, another pioneering war is being staged in the Black Dragon River land in the northwest corner of the Seven Towers Federation, continuing in the footsteps of the ancestors.
"Is the East Arcanist very powerful?" Duke asked at Broken Sword station.
He came here to purchase burrowing army ant meat. He had previously made jerky from two burrowing army ants in the basement, and found that the taste was very dry and woody, but the effect when combined with the blood refining method was particularly outstanding, far exceeding level 1. Spirit beast meat.
The two burrowing army ants were quickly eaten by him and Kabuto.
Then they learned the news, and the pioneering army destroyed three burrowing army ant nests and killed countless burrowing army ants.
Suddenly, the burrowing army ants in Snake Head Town exploded with flesh.
Local transaction prices have also fallen again and again.
So Duke wanted to purchase a few and approached the Broken Sword mercenary group. This time, Broken Sword also picked up a lot of burrowing army ants.
Commander Zina was busy with a mission, and Duke was received by a logistics staff member: "That's not a question of being strong or not, that's an incredible question!" "How do you say that?" "I'm counting supplies at the rear of the
battlefield
, and I'm not close to the front line. , but I saw Lord East take action from a distance, it was like... like a fort that continuously releases arcane spells, thousands of mercenaries hunted underground army ants, not as good as Lord East alone Kill a lot of people!"
"So fierce?"
"Can it not be fierce? That is an intermediate arcanist who can cast 2-level arcane spells instantly. To be honest, if there were a few more arcane mages, the pioneering war would not be possible. What happened to our mercenaries?"
When the logistics staff spoke, they had a look of envy and admiration on their faces.
Through his description, Duke could more or less imagine that scene, and he had a better understanding of the Arcane Mage.
Long before humans had mastered spiritual arcana, the first humans to set foot on this land still had knights as their main fighting profession. When the spiritual arcana was conquered and mastered, and arcane mages began to be born, knights gradually withdrew from the big stage.
Nowadays, the knights are basically reduced to looking after the homes and courtyards of the arcane mages and nobles.
Such a complete change was possible because the arcane mage was too powerful, far beyond what the knights could match.
Just as he was talking, someone came in with the approval slip: "The team leader has approved it. Boss Duke can purchase four burrowing army ants at a 50% discount on the market price."
Currently, in the trading market of Sheshou Town, one burrowing army ant Ants can be sold for 10 gold dragons.
50% off is 5 gold dragons.
"20 gold dragons..." The price is still very expensive, but Duke doesn't care about money. It can improve the strength of him and Xiao Kabuto. It's just a little gold dragon.
I swiped my card happily and transferred 20 gold dragons.
Then he used the bag to carry four large ant corpses home.
Aunt Abi, who was sitting at the door picking vegetables, immediately helped to marinate the jerky. After the spirit animal meat is marinated into jerky, it can reduce the loss of spirituality and is suitable for long-term storage.
"Aunt Abi, steam some strips of dried meat for me first."
"Do you want to cook less for dinner?"
"No, dinner is as usual." Due to his training in Dou Qi, Duke has always had a large appetite, which can be eaten by one person. Enter Abby, Sally and Levin.
And he would often eat dried meat from spirit beasts and make blood refining with Xiao Dou.
After Aunt Abi steamed the dried meat, he sprinkled some seasoning on it, went upstairs and shared it with Xiao Dou, and then practiced the "Universal Blood Refining Method".
After eating and drinking, Xiao Dou immediately yawned and let Duke take charge of the blood refining method.
Duke, however, focused on Kabuto: "Hurry up and grow up. I can break through to the level 1 Great Knight, and it depends on Kabuto."
He was a blood sea that was forcibly opened, and he didn't have enough talent.
Dou Qi cultivation relies more on the talents of the contracted spirit beasts, and both good and bad blood refining methods are similar.
The main reason is that if Kabuto can be promoted to level 1, Duke can be promoted to level 1 great knight. If Kabuto can evolve into level 2 phantom beast, Duke can be promoted to level 2 phantom beast knight. Even if Kabuto breaks through to a 3rd level advanced phantom beast, Duke can also be promoted to a 3rd level advanced phantom beast knight.
"Robney sent me a small pocket, and he gave me a favor before he died... After I am promoted to Arcane Mage, I will go to the Spear Knight Monastery to find his son Royce." The
third update is over, please vote for me~
