Chapter 168 A noble mage who is good at changing the environment!
Because the road ahead was destroyed and there were various roadblocks blocking the way.
The marching speed of the Crean Kingdom's cavalry regiment was slightly affected.
However, although the marching speed at this time was slightly slower than at the beginning, it was definitely faster than the infantry regiment of the Kaya Empire.
According to the current speed, catching up with the enemy at noon, which was originally expected, may now be postponed to the afternoon.
But after all, the difference is only a few hours, so it’s not a big problem.
While the senior officials were thinking about the various details of the subsequent battle, the troops in front slowly stopped.
Soon a soldier riding a war horse approached and said loudly:
"There are special roadblocks blocking the road ahead."
When the soldiers were wondering what kind of special roadblocks could stop them from moving forward.
The higher-ups of the legion who came to the front saw neat and densely packed rock spikes about half a man high!
——There is no doubt that this is a terrain created by some kind of magic!
——There may be a noble mage opposite who is good at changing the environment and setting up obstacles!
After briefly testing the hardness of these rock spikes and discovering that their hardness was extraordinary, the brows of the Legion's top brass frowned slightly unconsciously.
Things are in trouble.
This road is the nearest road. If you take a detour, the time to catch up with the enemy will be further delayed!
After a while of discussion, in order not to affect the marching speed, they decided that
the top brass of the legion would open the way!
Next, the senior leaders of the Cavalry Corps of the Kingdom of Crean turned into vanguards and dealt with obstacles such as spurs, pits, swamps, and lakes ahead.
Although some things are indeed quite troublesome, they are still the cavalry regiment of the Kingdom of Crean.
——Have the high-end power of a great knight!
Under the influence of the power of the great knight, although the consumption was a little high, the journey was still relatively smooth.
However, just when they thought it would continue smoothly like this, they suddenly received a message from the soldiers in the rear:
"Report! The road in the middle of the army suddenly collapsed!!"
"What!!"
Waiting for the top brass of the cavalry corps to turn around and walk to the middle of the army. At that time, I don’t know when there was an oversized giant pit here.
The bottom of the giant pit was covered with densely packed sharp rock spikes. Many soldiers and horses were seriously injured by these spikes, and some unlucky ones even lost their lives.
——They have already begun to reduce their numbers before they even engage the enemy!
The senior leaders of the legion were very angry when they learned this fact, but at the same time they were angry and a little confused.
——Why was this trap only triggered when the army was halfway there?
A senior knight observed carefully and sighed:
"There are traces of magic power here. I think it should be some kind of delay or trigger spell trap.
It is difficult for us to find this kind of spell trap buried deep in the ground. We We lack a mage who can defeat the opponent's tactics!"
...
At noon, the 6th Infantry Regiment, which had been marching day and night, returned to the Elephant City.
While the soldiers were seizing the time to rest, Anthony sat in the camp of Barbarian Elephant City, his mouth twitching as he put down the "Consumption List" handed to him by Brand.
During this march, he also knew that Brand used a lot of spell scrolls to set up various troublesome obstacles for the enemy.
But when he actually got the consumption list of the spell scroll, he realized that it was really "a huge consumption."
——He just hopes that people in the finance department will not faint when they see this list!
After signing his name on the list, Anthony handed the list back to Brand.
Last night, he had a good chat with Count Mesa and the Imperial Military Affairs Department.
Because of the increase in troops from the orcs, the knights and mages directly under the imperial royal family are now confronting the orc army in the north.
So those who came to support the Sixth Infantry Regiment this time were all ordinary regiments that were not far different from the Sixth Infantry Regiment.
These legions are okay against the ordinary legions of the Kingdom of Crean, but if the Kingdom of Crean sends the main legion or the forces of the Caesar Empire enter, their strength will be somewhat insufficient.
In addition, the "Prince Liuyue" they captured was also a key figure in this incident.
It is necessary for the Kaya Empire to ensure that it is always under its control.
Based on the above reasons, the Imperial Military Affairs Department approved the admission requests of the Holland and Mesa families.
The pioneering war is coming, and in the north, the Kaya Empire will not relax at all!
In this context, the participation of the private armed forces of several families in the war will indeed help solve the problem of insufficient military strength.
As for the "consumption and loss" in each.
No matter how high the consumption is, as long as we win, the Kingdom of Crean and the Caesar Empire will foot the bill!
After various thoughts flashed through his mind, Anthony smiled at Brand and said,
"Tell me anything else. It seems you have some ideas."
Brand came to see Anthony this time because he really had some things to discuss. He negotiates.
He said:
"After the Cavalry Legion of the Kingdom of Crean discovers that the march is slow, it is very likely that a high-end force like the Great Knight will abandon the legion and rush towards us directly." After a slight pause,
Brand continued:
"According to the intelligence , there should be more than three great knights of the Kingdom of Crean entering the chaotic zone this time.
Assuming that these great knights are chasing us in the Cavalry Legion of the Kingdom of Crean, if only one can be separated to ensure that their legion can march normally, Then we are very likely to face more than two great knights."
Listening to Brand talk about this, Anthony's interest was also aroused, and he asked:
"Do you want to do this to more than two great knights? What do you want?"
Brand spread his hands and said,
"Whether they come alone or with an army, they will most likely confront us. Of course we have to find a way to deal with them." Although this is indeed the case
, But Anthony is still a little helpless:
"I really want to target them, but I really can't think of any good way.
Currently, the commanders under me are seizing the time to let the recruits learn the secret skills of the legion, but you must know that learning the secret skills of the legion is still a matter of course. It will take some time."
After thinking about it, Anthony added:
"Now, because more people can use the legion's secret skills than before, the strength I can exert is also stronger than before.
If I use the legion's secret skills at full power, I should be able to contain the power of the two great knights, but if the other party comes directly with three, then I have no choice.
Brand said: "If only three people come, we can still deal with it, but if there is a fourth person, I will have to leave with them. "
Hearing this, Anthony became a little curious:
"Do you have a way to deal with the power of the great knight? " "
Speaking of this, Brand took out a spell scroll from the space necklace. The appearance material alone was extremely extraordinary.
When Brand unfolded it, what was printed on the spell scroll was a magic scroll that caused countless twists. Lines, "black particles" like black holes.
Brand explained in time: "This is a branch of the magic force field - the wind element magic force field! "
