Chapter 138 Purple Dragon Legion and Battle Mage
The sun is shining brightly and there is a breeze from time to time.
Brian led a group of subordinates and walked on the street leading to the city gate.
The scouts distributed outside the town reported to him, claiming that there was a large army, holding high the purple dragon flag, walking towards the direction of Mokou Town.
This made him immediately realize that the purpose of this group of people coming here must be to support him.
"Don't tell me, you don't even know who the leader of the war mage and the commander of the Purple Dragon Knight are who came here." Brian said to Elend Wind, the half-elf bard who had transformed from the ancient silver dragon next to him. Waterfall said.
“I really don’t know.” Ellender said with a depressed face as he recalled his fear of being dominated by a cat.
“Oh, if I had known I wouldn’t have let you deliver the letter for me. Apart from helping me deliver the letter to Arabe City, you haven’t accomplished anything. I don’t know what his attitude is like, which kept me on tenterhooks for so long.”
After Brian finished complaining, he looked at him and instantly guessed what the other person was going through, and said with a smile: “I know, 豼. He must have been tricked by a cat. "
Brian is very familiar with the cat spirit in the Mage Tower who likes to call himself 'Meow Immortal'.
He once was almost made to doubt his life by the other party's pranks.
“I know you didn’t warn me in advance.” Elend said angrily, “It’s a shame that I’m so concerned about helping you.”
“I’ll teach you when I have time. I'll teach you how to deal with that cat so that you can get back on your feet next time." Brian replied casually, then said a little more seriously:
"Also, recently, you helped me get rid of the ghost. The people in the city should keep an eye on them. I don’t want to wait until their troops have already moved under my city wall before I react to defend them.”
“Leave it to me, the great lord of Mokou Town.” Elend agreed wholeheartedly.
While the two were chatting, they were about to reach the city gate when a rumble of horse hooves came from far and near.
Brian immediately stopped and waited for the arrival of this army.
At the same time, I started to feel a little curious about what kind of people the Grand Female Guild of Arabe City would send to help me defend Mokou Town.
Soon, the army walked in from the city gate.
Brian also got his wish and met the leaders of the Purple Dragon Legion and the Battle Mage.
The Purple Dragon Legion is the most famous army of the Kingdom of Cormyr. It is known for its strict discipline, superb martial arts and absolute loyalty. It is even considered to be one of the most powerful armies in all kingdoms, and is known for its bravery and bravery in the field of combat. Known for heroic deeds.
Their composition ranges from young nobles who joined as officers and purple dragon knights to civilians who joined as soldiers.
As Brian expected, this group of tall purple dragon cavalry were all wearing field plate armor and steel helmets. There were many metal discs on the surface of the armor to protect the joints between the arms and chest. The junction was painted to look like a flying purple dragon.
When there is no battle, officer-level knights usually wear a tabard with a purple dragon logo while wearing heavy armor.
Higher ranking members are also allowed to wear their family crest on their uniforms or shields.
Brian took a quick glance and judged based on their attire that among the Purple Dragon Cavalry, which numbered around 500, there was one colonel with paragon strength, 10 captains with level 3 strength, and 40 level 10 The lieutenants around the level and the remaining soldiers have professional levels that are at least around level 5.
As knights and warriors in the army, whether in terms of coordination or their own equipment, they crush adventurers and ordinary soldiers of the same level.
Although this army is called the 'Purple Dragon Legion', in fact, only warriors with the rank of lieutenant or above can truly possess the advanced profession of Purple Dragon Knight.
Other soldiers, strictly speaking, are called Purple Dragon Guards.
Once a battle breaks out, these Purple Dragon Guards, led by the Purple Dragon Knights, will form a coordinated battle formation to launch a charge or defense.
"Purple Dragon Knight Obert Jinyu?" Seeing the knight walking at the front of the team dismount and take off his steel mask, Brian instantly recognized his identity.
He has a big head like a lion, and a mess of blond hair is scattered around his resolute and serious face as if it had been blown by a sandstorm.
“It turned out to be him.” Brian had a look of satisfaction in his eyes as he recalled some game information.
DR1238, the Year of the War Lords.
Under the leadership of the Cormyr noble Golden Feather family, the city of Arabey rebelled and declared independence from the Kingdom of Cormyr.
The following year, Crown Prince Asan launched a campaign to retake the city of Arabey, leading Cormyr's army against a large force of mercenaries hired by the rebels.
Although the battle was won, Crown Prince Yasang paid with his young life. The defeated Jinyu family was deprived of their title and land by the king, and the few surviving family members were exiled.
It was from here that the Raul family officially became the rulers of Arabay City, and they still stand today.
As a descendant of a fish that slipped through the net, Obert Golden Feather joined the Purple Dragon Legion as a paladin of Tom, and has been working hard to cleanse the family's stain and restore its glory.
As far as Brian knew, the Purple Dragon Knight had indeed fulfilled his wish and became the Earl of Golden Feather stationed in Tifantun.
Unfortunately, in the Year of the Scar of the Leyline, which is the second year after their players entered the game, during the conspiracy of Shar, the goddess of the night, against Mystra, the goddess of magic, Shar's high-ranking priestess completed a huge ritual, He tore a rift in the magic web and successfully summoned a cross-dimensional shadow rift over Tifantun City.
Countless creatures from the shadow plane poured into the material world and completely destroyed the city. Golden Feather Earl Obert also died fighting in this battle.
Then, Brian turned his gaze to a war mage leader who came over.
The Battle Mage Legion is a group of battle mages and warlocks.
They were trained at the War Academy in the capital city of Susar.
Fighting on behalf of the Kingdom of Cormyr and its crown, it is one of the most respected and even feared spellcasting organizations in all realms, held in high regard by the commoners and royalty of the Forest Kingdom.
As part of their military training, war mages are also experts in the fundamentals of spellcasting, honing their abilities with weapons even more than other arcane spellcasters.
They often combine these two skills in combat, wielding unique combat spells such as Ripple of Lightning, and the more destructive Storm of Victory.
In fact, among the many new spells created in the 15th century, battle mages accounted for more than half, which gave them a certain advantage in the battle with the shadow mages in the City of Shadows.
Due to their extreme specialization, war mages are very adept at applying metamagic modifications to the spells they cast.
Some veteran battle mages even gain a deep understanding of individual spells, allowing them to cast them as an innate ability.
For their players, Brian's battle mage profession is like an assembly line profession, which is relatively balanced in all aspects.
In the real world, real battle mages are different.
They do not have player templates and systems, and all abilities and spells are obtained through learning, so there are various extreme existences that study evocations and conjurations, as well as a few other schools of thought.
For centuries, the war mages of Cormyr have served the kingdom as advisors, enforcers, and powerful arcane warriors, integral to the success of Cormyr's government and royal armies. Brian noticed this group of battle mages wearing chain armor and purple cloaks, including their leader, there were 16 of them in total.
It can be seen from the silver line logo on their cloaks that one battle mage's strength has reached level 4 paragon, 5 battle mage's strength is at the hero level of level 10 or above, and the remaining 10 have all maintained their strength. Second-level transcendence between level 5 and level 10.
In fact, in the Zhan Zhan Academy, only battle mages who have reached the second level of extraordinary strength are qualified to graduate and enlist in the army.
Seeing these 16 battle mages, Brian was very satisfied. He finally had a spellcasting force that was good at large-scale wars in his territory.
After all, spellcasters rarely join the army. They can earn more from anything they do and live a more comfortable life than the army.
Trying to afford the remuneration and military pay for hiring spellcasters would definitely bring down a prosperous town.
Therefore, most kingdoms will establish spellcaster organizations, train them from childhood, and let them serve the royal family and assist the army in fighting.
Brian looked at the leader of the battle mage who came over on his own initiative.
This is a young man with a slim figure.
His skin is pale, his chin is pointed and thin, his sunken eye sockets are filled with melancholy, his black hair is stranded, and his long fingers are reminiscent of strange dead branches.
Seeing the battle mage walking towards him, Brian even had the illusion that he would be blown away by the wind at any time.
Fortunately, he knew the true identity of the other party, and naturally knew what kind of soul was hidden under this weak appearance.
Marik, the war shapeshifter, also has a resounding nickname; Tyrannosaurus!
Most warlike people rely on swords, shields or talented minions to survive on the battlefield.
War shapeshifters consider these options too limited and instead evolve weapons and armor to deal with the threats they encounter.
They can transform for a period of time and charge wildly on the battlefield with giant claws, armor-like skin, or some other powerful ability that shocks the enemy. This is the advanced profession: War Shapeshifter.
To become a war shapeshifter, you first need to have the ability to shapeshift. Many of them are shapeshifters such as shapeshifters or lycanthropes, wizards and warlocks who know the art of transformation, and Drews who have mastered natural transformation. Imen can also become war shapeshifters.
Most war shapeshifters have professional features such as lightning transformation and multiple transformations, which allow them to change their appearance in the blink of an eye.
So from their appearance, they are not eye-catching among allies, and they are often the ones most easily ignored by enemies.
However, when they suddenly grow ferocious tentacles and fangs during a fight with the enemy, you realize how terrifying a war shapeshifter is.
This is the case with the war shapeshifter Marik in front of him. He looks like a young man who has overindulged and is physically weak. In fact, his specialized shape-shifting ability comes from the dinosaur reptiles that live in the tropical jungle of Chult.
Super large and ferocious animals such as Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Ankylosaurus and Aeolian Pterosaur.
Brian remembered with a deep impression that when the strength of the war shapeshifter in front of him reached the legendary level, he had already mastered the ability to instantly transform into a golden dragon in his prime.
If the arrival of Purple Dragon Knight Obert Jinyu only surprised him, then the arrival of Marek, the so-called ‘tyrannosaurus’, directly shocked him to the spot.
As for what kind of battle mages the Grand Female Guild would send to help him, he thought of the many battle mage leaders he knew, but he did not think of the young man in front of him.
It's not that he was unfamiliar with this battle mage and didn't think of it.
On the contrary, it was precisely because he knew the opponent's strength very well that he instinctively believed that Myrcella Raul would never send his confidants to help him defend Mokou Town.
Fortunately, he is a person who can control his emotional changes, so he did not lose his composure on such occasions.
At the same time, when he was looking at these two people, they were also looking at him with their deep eyes.
Then, two people walked over at the same time.
Purple Dragon Knight Obert Jinyu knelt down on one knee, holding a sword with both hands. He lowered his head first and said in a low voice:
"Witnessed by the flying Purple Dragon flag, the commander of the Purple Dragon Legion, Obert Jinyu solemnly swears that for Mokou Town and its interests above all else, I swear to do my best to respond to any call from the Lord of Mokou Town, obey any of his instructions, and be at his disposal. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the five hundred purple dragon cavalry behind Obert turned over and dismounted in an orderly manner, knelt on the ground with one knee, and shouted at the same time:
"In the flying purple Under the witness of the dragon banner, our swords, spears and bows obey the call of the lord. Please treat everyone fairly and equally, and we will always follow you."
"To the Kingdom of Cormyr, Europe. In the name of the Baischier family and the Royal War College, under the witness of the purple dragon flag, the war mage captain Marik solemnly swore. "The frail Marik stood up straight, put his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and spoke in a low voice. The voice said:
"I will be loyal to the lord of Mokou Town, match my words with deeds, and let peace and order prevail in Mokou Town. I will serve you unswervingly, obey your orders, protect your safety, and be at your disposal. . ”
“No matter the sun rises or the moon sets, as long as our breath is still there and our magic can still be used, we will serve the lord of Mokou Town unswervingly.” Standing behind Marek. The 15 battle mages used the same movements to bow to Brian and said in unison:
"We dedicate our magic and hearts to you and use our lives to ensure the existence of this field. Please be fair and equal." Treat everyone kindly, and we will always follow you.”
Seeing the scene in front of him, Brian, who had always been calm, was really shocked.
Why he once liked the Kingdom of Cormyr very much, a large part of it was because he was moved by their super burning oath.
Because every time he heard this kind of oath, he felt his blood boiling all over.
Oath and Glory, in the Kingdom of Cormyr, many people really protect it with their own lives, and they continue to follow it from generation to generation.
For a young man living in a peaceful world, this is a shock and impact from the depths of his soul.
Although he had adapted to the rhythm of this world with his rebirth, when he heard it again, he still couldn't help but recall the tragedy that made him uneasy.
Because these battle mages and purple dragon knights have all fulfilled their oaths.
Even if he died in battle, he never thought of backing down.
At the same time, Brian also heard from the oaths that these battle mages and purple dragon knights swore allegiance not to the Kingdom of Cormyr, but to him and his territory.
This made him realize that this was definitely the instruction of Duchess Raul.
Myrcella Raul so confidently gave this power to a stranger she had never met.
The purpose is to allow him to use them with confidence, and they will always follow him wholeheartedly to protect the northern barrier of the Kingdom of Cormyr.
"May the long night of darkness in the Kingdom of Cormyr disappear, and the day be bright and prosperous." Brian raised his hand and said to everyone solemnly:
"May you clearly see the nature of the world, and be surrounded by truth. Everything is clear at a glance. Everyone, please stand up. I am Brian, the lord of Mokou Town. I am very happy to work with you to fight for the Kingdom of Cormyr."
After saying this, Bu. Ryan knew that Cormyr, a kingdom of purple dragons from the good camp, had already gained his approval.
