"Please come out and answer, Commander of the Qingfeng Legion, Commander Lena?"
While the flag was waving, Roland suddenly shouted loudly.
Leina narrowed her eyes, clamped the unicorn beast under her crotch with her two slender and powerful thighs, jumped out of the crowd, and replied in the same loud voice:
"Lei Na Memphis, led more than 24,000 troops of the Qingfeng Army, to greet the lord."
Xu Lai and his guards stopped steadily in front of the Qingfeng Army, but none of them made any move. Only Roland held the flag high and rode his horse to Reina.
"By the order of Lord Xu Lai, I am giving you a military flag."
Leina took the flag respectfully with both hands, and the power of the Sea King flag was instantly given to Reina and Qingfeng The whole legion.
Leina, who is well-informed, understood the power contained in this flag the moment she held it.
She held the flag tightly, saluted Xu Lai and said:
"Thank you, Lord, for conferring the flag. Please give orders to the Qingfeng Army!"
Xu Lai nodded and said: "Commander Reina Army, now I need you to lead the Qingfeng Army. You must arrive at the Martell Territory within two days.
And assist Jimmy, the lord of the Martell Territory. Lord Martell is guarding Martell City."
Leina held up the flag and said: "Your will will be realized."
After the order was given, Xu Lai opened his mouth to introduce the situation. : "
Your troops will encounter enemies several times your number, and the commander of these enemies is Aini, the ruler of the grasslands who assassinated me several times and colluded with the orcs.
You have two main tasks. One is to prevent Aini from capturing Martell, and the other is not to let Aini escape.
If Aini has more troops, don't fight him head-on, just hold him back and wear him down. "
Although Leina is a high-level hero, her equipment has gradually been replenished. Xu Lai even handed her the battle flag he just got. Anyway, she has advanced water spells and is also re-established in the magic guild. Purchased the magic book.
But even so, Xu Lai still felt uneasy.
In his mind, the elves may be better at long-range combat, and this kind of head-on battle may not be Aini. opponent.
In any case, Aini is also a human commander who has experienced battles with orcs. In addition, his own troops are indeed inferior to the opponent's, and the troops are not commanded by Xu Lai himself, so he can't help feeling uneasy.
He was originally worried that he would infect Reina and the others with this bad mood, so he asked Roland to issue the order on his behalf.
But at the end of the day, he still couldn't hold it back and gave a few more instructions.
After all, it was his family fortune that he had accumulated bit by bit, and it was normal for Xu Lai to be worried if it was handed over to someone else.
How can an elf who has lived for countless years not know what Xu Lai is worried about.
"Your Excellency, please rest assured. I dare not say that I can bring the troops back intact.
But in my hands, they will surely suffer the fewest casualties in history."
Xu Lai coughed and said with a smile: "It's not necessary to be too demanding. You can sacrifice more when recruiting soldiers. It's better to protect the real ones.
I hope that as many people go out as possible, there will be as many when they come back. , each of them is an indispensable part of Qingfeng City.
Of course, you are more important to me, so you need to protect yourself even more.”
"Okay, okay, my verbose lord, do you have anything else to tell me about the intelligence?"
It is no exaggeration to say that Reina has led the troops on many expeditions. I can’t remember exactly why Xu Lai needed such a serious explanation.
Of course, this explanation, which was obviously out of concern, only attracted ridicule from Reina, but it did not mean that she would lose her loyalty because of it.
"Ahem, in terms of intelligence, there should be nothing to pay attention to.
The opponent has not released any high-level spells, and the number of long-range troops is quite large, but these days During the siege, we suffered a lot.
Besides this they had many mounted cavalry, but very few cavalry. "
"Wait a minute, my respected lord, what do you mean there are a lot of cavalry on horseback? Are there any cavalry who don't ride on horseback? "
Xu Lai explained awkwardly: "Maybe I expressed it wrongly. On the grassland, basically everyone can ride a horse and has the skills to ride a horse.
So I say they have a lot of "cavalry" riding horses, but these cavalry have not received formal knight training and are not good at fighting on horseback, so I say there are very few cavalry.
The former refers to mounted infantry, while the latter is real cavalry. ”
Reina nodded and said: "I understand, Lord, is there anything else you want to explain?
If not, I will leave as soon as possible. Looking at the distance on the map, this journey is not close."
Xu Lai also knows that soldiers are valuable and quick. Moreover, if Martell's castle is breached, Xu Lai's rescue will lose most of its meaning.
"There is nothing more to explain. You should set off quickly and pay more attention to the logistics troops on the way. It should be the first time for Wang Chao to lead so many people.
Oh, by the way, this I almost forgot to give it to you.”
As Xu Lai spoke, he took out a spherical treasure from his space backpack.
Not the ball of destruction, but the forbidden magic ball.
"Is this?"
Xu Lai sighed and said: "It is a forbidden magic ball. With it, any actively released spells cannot be released unless a magic scroll is used."< br>
Leina nodded and said: "I know this treasure. It matches my defensive skills very well."
At the same time, this treasure is also the key treasure to limit the Doomsday Blade.
Fortunately, with Reina's loyalty, she shouldn't betray him.
With Reina's ultimate defense skills and her special defense skills, everyone in the entire army is really covered with an invisible iron plate.
No, iron plate is not enough to describe it, it should be called steel plate.
The only thing Rena and her troops lack is the ability to defend against magic.
Even Xu Lai, who has ultimate resistance, has many spells that he cannot withstand, let alone Reina, who only has advanced resistance.
But with the Forbidden Magic Ball, it is different. Even the enemy can still cast spells through the scroll.
But the scroll spells are fixed and do not enjoy any bonuses, so the threat is reduced a lot.
Besides, you can’t just buy as many magic scrolls as you want.
Generally speaking, there is no need to prepare spells that you know and are good at. You only need to prepare some other spells that are not commonly used but may be useful.
It can be said that Xu Lai's Forbidden Magic Ball has made up for Reina's last shortcoming.
Although this shortcoming has not been directly stretched to the same level as physical defense, it has at least increased the water storage capacity of Reina's bucket.
Seriously putting away the treasure, Lei An immediately turned around and waved the flag in his hand. The moment the flag waved, Tahan waved his hand, and Yan Feng led the archers like raindrops towards the grassland.
Like Xu Lai, Reina also chose this kind of archer cavalry with strong reconnaissance ability, fast movement speed, and long-range attack capabilities as the pathfinder cavalry.
The remaining cavalry were divided into two parts. One part protected the wings of the large army, and the other part stayed in place, waiting for the logistics troops to set off before following the end of the team.
The logistics troops led by Wang Chao are still in Reina's army for the time being.
With master-level logistics skills and the agility of the Golden God of War Statue of Qingfeng City, even if they are mainly infantry, their movement speed is not low.
However, although Wang Chao had the cloak of speed given by Xu Lai, he was only carrying slow-moving supply trucks and other baggage.
If there is not enough time, Rena may just leave the logistics behind and rush off in the second half.
This time it was not to attack the city, so Xu Lai only asked Wang Chao to bring hundreds of crossbows, and none of the slower catapults moved.
The flag was flying. Although the troops had only been training for two days, under the leadership of Rena, everything was in order.
The logistics troops in the rear seemed a bit chaotic. The flags of each team were in chaos, and there were shouts from veterans and officers everywhere.
But this is normal. After all, the logistics force recruits living people, unlike those recruited soldiers who are naturally orderly and understand military orders.
In two or three days, a group of new recruits can barely get to know their commanders, recognize the flags, and understand simple military orders. That’s pretty good.
If we could complete a simple formation and march well without falling behind, many people would be able to basically call it a miracle.
Fortunately, the logistics troops do not need to participate in the battle for the time being. Officers at all levels only need to take good care of their own team members and minimize losses outside of combat.
In fact, with hundreds of crossbow vehicles and a large number of veterans, even the logistics force is still capable of combat.
It’s just that at this stage, they can take care of themselves.
Xu Lai now feels like a mother worried about her son traveling thousands of miles away.
But no matter what, the Qingfeng Legion had to give up and go out for training, otherwise Xu Lai would not have the need to establish this legion.
After the large army left, Xu Lai also took people back to the city and ordered a temporary closure of the city. All caravans and citizens were not allowed to go out today.
It’s not that they are not allowed to go out, but they are not allowed to go out of the city, mainly to prevent military information from being leaked.
Xu Lai actually knew that there must be Aini's spies in Qingfeng City.
But this time, the manpower of the security team has been greatly increased, and Xu Lai specially invited a mage to cooperate.
As long as the possibility of physical communication can be blocked, the only way to send a message to Aini is through magical communication.
The mages invited by Xu Lai may not be able to identify magic communications, but magic induction is a basic required course for every mage.
The mage senses magic fluctuations, and the security team comes to inquire. There may be some mistakes, but as long as the compensation is in place, many people will understand.
If you can’t understand it, it’s probably not all mistakes.
Furthermore, the Qingfeng Legion has been out cleaning up bison during this period, and Xu Lai only formally assembled.
Even if there is a traitor, it may not be possible to clearly judge Xu Lai's purpose.
Those who know Xu Lai’s purpose are insiders worthy of Xu Lai’s trust.
Xu Lai was not at the scene to direct the arrest, he had more important things to do.
After the Qingfeng Legion left, the defense of Qingfeng City seemed a little empty.
Although the security team, his Knight Guards, and the Angel Legion are still there, the number of the army has dropped significantly after all.
So Xu Lai gave all the soldiers recruited this month to Giselle and asked her to pull all the shooters who were being trained to the city wall.
The guards on the castle can only be replaced by mages. The original castle guards are all stationed on the streets, city gates and gaps in the city walls.
"You will have to work hard in the next few days. I have already given an order to Dill. He will bring a group of infantry to station for a period of time
I will take Xiao Lan Stay, too, and take care of it for me."
Su Ya frowned and said, "What about the underground?"
Xu Lai thought for a while and said: "There are no external forces in Mingyue City for the time being, and there are still a large number of shooters. Even if there are wild monsters attacking the city, you are not afraid.
If you are really unlucky, Moriel will choose this time If you come to the door, I can deploy it in advance, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
This is the advantage of Xu Lai deploying his investigative eyes all the way outside the maze.
Even if Moriel discovered Mingyue City and went straight to Mingyue City, Xu Lai would have enough time to return to Qingfeng City and settle in Mingyue City for defense.
“I still think it’s better to let Dill stay underground, otherwise wouldn’t it be unsafe to let sister Yu Lan guard those horse thieves alone?”
Xu Lai thought for a while and said: "Then when Dill comes back, let Giselle take her shooters down to keep company.
I have to leave after nightfall. Those people will be there tomorrow. If you can’t see my knight, I don’t know what kind of trouble will be caused. We still need more soldiers to suppress it.”
There are not only caravans coming and going in Qingfeng City now, but also large and small ones. The mercenary group even includes the so-called guards that the descending heroes take with them.
As soon as Xu Lai left, the only defense forces on the surface of Qingfeng City were the hundreds of guards who originally guarded the castle and some shooters around Giselle.
Wei Yihong's caravan guards should now number around 3,400. Together with the security team and less than 200 mages, they can barely make up more than 1,000 people.
Elena and her pastor will definitely be on Xu Lai's side. The problem is that even if she is included, there are not many people in total.
Of course Xu Lai is not afraid of these people if they commit crimes alone.
Just be afraid, these people will unite.
Su Ya is just a general after all. Even those descending heroes may have lower levels than the soldiers of Qingfeng City in terms of attributes.
Wouldn’t it be funny if his hometown was robbed because Xu Lai was away?
But Dill and his army of swordsmen must be mobilized. There are 3000+ swordsmen standing guard. If anyone dares to make any move, Xu Lai can directly destroy them.
"Well, please protect yourself when you go out this time, and don't force yourself."
Xu Lai nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't be impulsive. Yes, if nothing can be done, I will just give up. Nothing is more important than human life.
I am still more worried about you and Qingfeng City than me.
This time. , Aaron should be able to find out something more.
If I'm not here, you must not be merciful and investigate severely for me.
In troubled times, if you use heavy codes, I will kill the chicken and show it to the monkey, so that the guys in the city can give me a little peace. "(End of this chapter)
