There are a total of 19 corpses on the ground, including 1 level 7 paladin, 3 level 7 heroes, 3 level 6 rangers, 2 level 6 knights, and 10 level 4 trainee knights.
Because the knight retinues and mercenaries have all been upgraded, there was a gap in Xu Lai's troops, and level 4 jumped directly to level 5.
When the resurrection ceremony was over, the archangels landed on the ground again with tired faces, and once again put on their cloaks with camouflage capabilities.
Ryan touched Elena's head lovingly and told Elena to take good care of herself.
Another high priest Xu Lai met gave Xu Lai a roll of maps and told him: "This is what Dur asked me to give to you. He said you might use it." .”
Xu Lai wondered: "Why didn't Archbishop Duer give it to me when I left in the morning?"
The high priest who had been promoted to Archangel shrugged with a smile and said: "Who knows, Duer I am over 80 this year, and I may have Alzheimer’s disease.”
The Archangel’s rank is also level 8. Although his power in the temple is definitely not as good as that of the Crimson Archbishop, the same rank means the same status. .
People can joke around, but Xu Lai is not easy to answer.
Lian, who had finished reminiscing with Elena, came over and explained: "Maybe the archbishop is afraid that you will reject him in public. The older a person is, the more he needs to save face. Duer's face is still very tender."
Well, each of their explanations was less reliable than the other, but Xu Lai also had a guess in his mind.
This map is either a map of the Western Empire that the Burning Legion is invading, or a map of the wilderness.
When I opened it, it was as expected by Xu Lai. It was a rough map of the wilderness. It seemed that the archbishop still didn't want Xu Lai to be idle.
Lian obviously knew the contents of the map. He didn't even glance at the map and said directly:
"The stronghold has suffered heavy losses in flying units. The remaining flying units should be mobilized to the border. , confronting the dragonflies and flying dragons in the fortress
At this moment, if you go to the wilderness with a fast force, unless the stronghold makes a big move, there should be nothing you can do. "
"Then what if the stronghold really goes to war? "
"Then just run away. Are you really stupid, fighting against one camp by yourself? "
Xu Lai said angrily: "It turns out that you also know this is stupid. "
"Although this is silly and risky, it is indeed a God-given opportunity.
The weakest thing in the stronghold camp is its long-range combat power that can cause a lot of damage to troops with fast mobility.
But this is not a big problem in normal times.
Orcs are very capable of enslaving wild beasts, especially birds. Self-destructing bats, golden eagles, rocs, and thunderbirds are all extremely fast and very difficult creatures. "
"However, due to the heroic sacrifice of the temple knights, almost all of these birds were destroyed on the grassland. "The priest from before said with a solemn expression.
In order to coax the orcs to send out all the main birds, Duer and other temple senior officials discussed it and unanimously decided not to use the angel army until the critical moment. , even if the companions who have been with him day and night will die for it
If angels and archangels like them can stand up before the war begins, firstly, morale can be greatly increased, and secondly, the combat effectiveness of angels thousands of meters away is extremely terrifying.
But if they do this, how can the orcs use the power of flight without any scruples, and how can they step into the trap set by the human coalition.
If they don’t step into the trap, with the strength of the Orcs’ hundreds of thousands of flying troops, even the angels and dragons can barely protect themselves, let alone completely annihilate them.
From this point of view, the knights of the temple did make sacrifices for this, but the sacrifices of ordinary warriors and knights on the battlefield were even greater.
Ryan continued: "The wilderness is not suitable for cattle and horses to survive, so the orcs found wargs, wolves, and frost wolves in the wilderness to supplement the mobility of the cavalry.
But you also know the result. The largest wolf cavalry regiment in the stronghold camp is on the grassland. Now there is only one of them left. Even if they can escape back to the wilderness, they will not be a big threat to you. "
Xu Lai quickly shook his head and said: "Why don't you count it? The wolf cavalry is not slow, but its endurance is not very good.
But they have the home field advantage. I only have a few cavalrymen. If I randomly send tens of thousands of wolf cavalry to surround my stronghold, wouldn’t I be surrounded to death?
Besides, I don’t have path-finding skills, so my speed will inevitably drop drastically when I reach the wilderness. It’s hard to say whether I can outrun the wolf cavalry. "
Ryan took out a wooden box from his large cloak and said to Xu Lai:
"Before coming, Bishop Duer told me that if you have the idea of going to the wilderness, let me give you these two things."
Xu Lai's eyes instantly enlarged and said: "You, you Don't talk nonsense, I have no intention of going to the wilderness."
Ryan didn't refute, smiled slightly, and just looked at Xu Lai.
Xu Lai was dumbfounded by what he saw, and was really curious about the box in Ryan's hand. He asked cautiously: "I'm just taking a look, is it okay?"
Lian smiled and said: "Don't worry. , we are clergy after all, we can’t force you to see this thing. If you don’t want to go, you can return it to me.”
It’s okay to take a look anyway, Xu Lai took the wooden box and opened it gently.
The top layer of the wooden box is a letter with a fire seal and a magic mark.
As long as the envelope is opened, the fire seal will be destroyed and the color of the magic mark will change.
Double security proves the value of this letter. Fortunately, Xu Lai can know the contents of the letter without opening it.
The function of this letter has been marked on the envelope. It is an authorization letter. Anyone holding this letter can go to the Imperial Military Academy marked on the envelope for three days of further training.
"What does this mean? Is it because I have to grind my guns before the battle? And it's only three days. No matter what military knowledge I learn, I won't have time to master it, right?" Xu Lai asked, holding up the envelope.
Lian smiled and said: "Studying in the military academy is of course to cultivate your military skills, and it is not only theoretical knowledge, but also virtual practical teaching.
Of course, you can do these things It's hard to say how much they will absorb, but as long as they can graduate from the military academy, they will receive a basic specialization as a reward.
This year's military academy will train students in "offensive skills", "navigation skills" and "tactics". ” and the four specialization abilities of “Pathfinding”.
Moreover, if you can achieve extremely good results in the military academy, such as defeating all opponents of the empire at the same time, then the specialization you obtain will be improved. "
The more Ryan said, the more confused Xu Lai became. He asked doubtfully: "You mean, if I can go to this military academy to study, will I be with everyone in the empire? "
"Of course that is impossible. The military academy opens once a week. A military academy only trains one student at a time for three days.
However, the Military Academy uses special time and space technology. The three days outside are three months inside the Military Academy, that is, one day outside and one month inside.
You can use these three months to conduct theoretical and practical military studies, and engage in virtual duels with your opponents.
Oh, by the way, the military academy is not the only building. Basically, the owners of major castles will build it to cultivate outstanding talents in the family.
So, after you enter the military academy, you will meet outstanding heirs from major castles in the empire in the special space of the academy.
You may also encounter other heroes from the wild, but they may not all be human. After all, anyone who is a hero or noble can visit the military academy in the wild.
Furthermore, because this year's military academy has the popular subject of offensive arts, many outstanding talents from the family will complete their advanced training this year.
In addition, your offensive skills definitely cannot be improved here. All you can choose are primary skills.
If you are not interested in pathfinding, navigation, and tactics, even if you encounter them in the wild this year, don’t visit them rashly, lest you regret it in time. "
Xu Lai smashed his lips. He can be considered a person who has been tricked by outdoor buildings once. If he doesn't like the skills in this military academy but rushes into it, he might really be able to do it. Being tricked again.
Below the authorization letter is a pair of cowhide gloves. The orange leather is extremely smooth to the touch.
[Knight Gloves]: A high-level treasure that increases the movement of the entire army by 3 points. Speed (mounts can also take effect), and the wearer gains 5 points of agility attribute bonus, 5 points of full body armor, and a load capacity of 1.
The properties of the knight's gloves are almost identical to those of the walking boots, except for the two. The weights are different, and one adds 5 points of body armor, while the other only adds 30 points of leg armor, they are almost identical.
But if the previous letter was not attractive to Xu Lai, then this pair of knight gloves gave Xu Lai a strong urge to take risks.
He is not an impulsive person, but as Ryan said, he really has the idea of taking advantage of this God-given opportunity to venture into the wilderness.
The reason is very simple. If he doesn’t go to the wild land, he will have no battles to fight. Without battles to fight, he will not be able to train his troops, and he will not be able to improve his level.
Level is really important to a hero, next to his own attributes. Every improvement in specialization can bring huge increases to the troops.
Now the orcs should not be able to invade the empire in a short time. For a long time in the future, Xu Lai can only rely on the monster moon to fight.
Before, he had wiped out all the wild monsters around Qingfeng Town and far away, but he had only upgraded a few levels and only produced a small number of high-level warriors.
Once there is no more high-intensity fighting, in what year will he be able to raise his level to level 30 or even level 40 like Taloshi.
Without such a combat level, the strength of one's own troops will always be slightly inferior to others, which Xu Lai cannot accept.
He had only hesitated between the two options of killing the horse thieves and venturing into the wilderness.
Now that Ryan has provided the opportunity to learn pathfinding and knight gloves, there is no doubt that the choice of the wilderness has received more emphasis in his heart. (End of chapter)
