293. Plant Growth

The gentle spring breeze blew on my face, and a few snow-white clouds like marshmallows were floating in the blue sky. The battlefield was full of wild animals. A blood-stained flag was inserted obliquely on the high hill, and several savage corpses surrounded it, barely letting the flag with the Storm Bear totem fall down. The "Fireball" magic left many burnt marks on the battlefield, and some places were still on fire, and thick smoke was rolling on the broken wood.

The broken short spear was randomly inserted into the ground, and there were people cleaning up the corpses on the battlefield in the distance. They would carry the barbarians who died in battle to dig holes and bury them, making them the nutrients for the golden apple trees for the coming year. The soldiers of El City who died in battle will be uniformly included in the hero ancestral hall, and they will become one of the heroes who guarded El City.

The local armed forces such as the Knights of the El City Guard Battalion were able to achieve such a brilliant victory, which was never before in the history of El City. Even the Duke of Jingyue, who received the news, had to write a letter of commendation in person.

I still remember that in early spring, after this team of El City gathered, gathered elite students from major academies in El City to form a team to support the North Wind Legion and participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Barbarian Warriors of the Celtic Tribe in a large area north of Mas Town and the south bank of the Prancing River. That time, the North Wind Legion achieved a brilliant victory, and it only wiped out nearly 5,000 barbarian warriors.

Now, in the battle of El City alone, the left ears of nearly two thousand barbarians were gained. It was really the knights and men of the guard battalion who had gained their merits.

The eight magic apprentices (including me) in the water magic class of our Magic Academy and a water magician assistant teacher Sophie participated in the treatment of the guard battalion soldiers throughout the process, and were also praised by General Willy Momm, the Knights Order of the Guard Battalion. Of course, this general paid more attention to the fire magic apprentices who could directly assist the guard battalion knights on the battlefield. He believed that those fireball techniques completely destroyed the barbarians' fighting will.

Of course, this battle to defend the city successfully shaped many great heroes in the hearts of the people of El City. The most popular among them was that in the siege battle before the dawn of the Barbarians, the soldiers of the Knights' Order who led the soldiers of the guard battalion to successfully defend the walls of the North City. He had become the star of El City. He was determined to command the soldiers to use armor-piercing arrows in the face of danger, and also ordered the heavy infantry to quickly support it. Every order he ordered on the battlefield was a key factor in turning the battle situation around.

Not only that, there were also Arnold Wilder, the Grand Knight Commander who led the heavy infantry regiment to block more than a dozen barbarian warriors within the 100-meter city wall. His heroic performance was deeply imprinted in the hearts of every El City people. The Grand Knight was seriously injured in the final counterattack battle, but he had no worries about his life. However, according to rumors, his injuries on his body would not improve without half a year of rest.

I thought this rumor was a bit exaggerated. The injury of the Great Knight Arnold Wilder was very serious, but under the treatment of the "healing technique" by the temple priests, they would be able to recover within half a month. Besides, the magic recovery potions in the magic store are not a luxury item for the Great Knight of the noble family, and his injuries will naturally heal faster.

In the past, the residents of El City called the knights of the Knights of the Guard Battalion the Knights Master. Most of these words were sarcastic. Now, this local army of El City has completely wiped out the bad image in the eyes of the residents of El City. At least sometimes they are very rude and barbaric, and on the battlefield, they are also quite brave and fearless in their fighting style impressed many El City residents.

Many dazzling new stars have emerged in the War Academy, among which the academy magic teachers led by Heidi, showed outstanding combat power.

The people of El City still blindly believe that Heidi is qualified to become the new leader among these magic teachers. Heidi used the third-level initial magic "Ice Crystal Wall" in the final counterattack station. This is a third-level magic that only advanced magicians with a second-level or above level 20 can use. These advanced magic requires the assistance of elemental elves to complete.

When the barbarians attacked the city, he successfully broke through his bottleneck in front of the formation. He moved from a level 19 intermediate magician to a level 20 advanced magician. With the assistance of her ice elf partner, he successfully released the "Ice Crystal Wall". Afterwards, Dean Gaodforry personally led a group of old guys from the El City Magic Guild to analyze on the spot why Teacher Heidi could use level 3 ice magic after instantly breaking through the bottleneck.

You know, at this time, Heidi also did an unprecedented thing.

Later, Dean Gaodefury and the magic scholars of the Magic Guild agreed that the reason why Master Heidi was able to release the third level of magic is closely related to the right time and place. One day, the cold season of winter, is the time when the ice magicians are the most powerful. At this time, the ice magicians gather magic elements often get half the result with twice the effort. Secondly, the place where the spell casting was above the moat, and the entire river surface was a huge ice wall. Master Heidi just activates these river ice and becomes a sharper ice crystal sword, building a wall of ice hundreds of meters long on the moat ice surface.

Hundreds of barbarian warriors were trapped in the narrow gap between the moat and the city wall, creating excellent conditions for the knights of the guard camp Knights to hunt these barbarians. In addition, nearly a hundred barbarians were frozen in the ice formation of the ice crystal wall, and dozens of barbarian warriors were penetrated by sharp ice crystal prisms and died on the spot. Dozens of barbarians were trapped in the ice formation.

‘The ice elves bathed in the aurora, please lend me the magical skills and build an eternal crystal wall!’

Many people believe that the reason why the great counterattack barbarians were defeated so thoroughly at that time had a lot to do with the group magic of the mentor Heidi. When the great witches in the barbarian camp were stared at by the Lion Eagle Knight who was eyeing in the sky, Lord Gaudeforry, the dean of the Magic Academy, and the president of the El City Magic Guild, they were the ones who really released all their power.

Teacher Heidi's ice group magic "Ice Crystal Wall" is also the first time that the power of the ice magician is revealed in people's eyes.

For a long time, in people's eyes, water magicians are mostly auxiliary magicians. Their most practical magic is the "spa" and "ice shield technique". Even if they become ice magicians in the future, in the hearts of many people, they believe that ice magic does not have the powerful lethality of fire magic and can only play a supporting role in battle. So this time, Mentor Heidi completely reversed the image of ice magicians in people's eyes.

This also brought the image of Heidi in the hearts of the people of El City to a new level. Given the strange temper of Heidi, only Dean Gordofry can suppress her for the time being and let her stay in the War Magic Academy peacefully.

Another dazzling star of the academy is Senior Benjamin, a young knight who has graduated from the War Academy of War, has already been deeply imprinted by the War Academy. He was originally a child of a noble family and the youngest son of the new president of the Elder City of Elders. However, he served as a lieutenant in an inconspicuous squad in the guard battalion. He did not rely on his family background to seek greater power to make himself live more comfortable. This approach made some nobles and civilians in Elder City who like to pick on their own.

Senior Benjamin, who was preparing to hone his training in the military camp at the beginning, regrettably ushered in the first battle when he first entered the military camp, and it was the most severe and dangerous battle with the barbarian warriors. There was nothing strange about this. For all the noble children, as long as they became soldiers or knights in the Knights of the Guard Battalion, they would have the responsibility to guard El City to the death.

However, a cautious and unintentional act of senior Benjamin saved all the guards of the Knights Order of the North City Wall during the Dawn Siege that night, because it was senior Benjamin who secretly set up ten "frost scrolls" magic traps in the snow on the bank of the moat under the city wall. It was precisely these magic traps that only had the function of warning, and at the most critical moment, they discovered the barbarians who secretly used the "camouflage technique" to touch them.

This made Senior Benjamin the third person in that battle to defend the city, after General Willy Mommy and Arnold Wilder.

Of course, there are also senior Benjamin brave enough to fight. In the battle of defending the city, the Grand Knight Arnold Wilder saved the life of senior Benjamin without hesitation. Later, in the counterattack battle, senior Benjamin in turn saved the life of Grand Knight Arnold Wilder. Such contributions made Senior Benjamin once become the school of El City War, and in this battle of defending the city, he was second only to the dazzling star after Heidi.

...

Looking at the undulating hills in the distance, the messy tree stumps remind me of the group of barbarians who had fled back to the north bank of the Prancing Horse River. The Storm Bears paid a heavy price for their recklessness, but it also brought indelible disaster to the El City area. A large number of fruit trees around El City were cut down by the barbarians. They used the trunk of the Golden Apple Tree to create a large number of siege cars. Those large ones have now been burned by the fireballs of the fire magicians. However, it took not only many years for these desolate hills to grow the dense golden apple trees like before.

For the people of El City, cutting down golden apple trees is much more serious than killing them. Several orchard owners have sat on the stumps in their orchards and cried loudly. In my opinion, these guys who wore gold and silver, hid in El City and were silently enjoying delicious wine and food during the days when the barbarians siege the city, were not worthy of sympathy. Looking at the fat meat on their faces and greasy clothes, you know that they were still singing every night during the days when the barbarians siege the city. Perhaps they were the little nobles who made money who opened their own courtyards and blatantly bought cheap contract servants while taking advantage of the moment when a large number of refugees flocked into El City.

Several manors in the remote suburbs were completely destroyed by the barbarians, and several small towns with certain defense capabilities were completely erased by the barbarians from the territory of El City, Mass Town, Puli Town, Zimmermann Manor, etc.

The tauren Ruka sat quietly on the big rock beside me. He faced the southeastern trade wind, breathing obsessively with the slightly salty smell from the trade wind, and said to me excitedly: "Jia, this is the smell of the sea. I really want to go and see the sea. I heard the shaman elders in the tribe say that there is an endless vast sea in the east of the human kingdom..."

"Do you want to go and have a look?" I looked up and blocked the dazzling golden sunlight that was shot down with my hands, and asked the tauren Ruka.

"Well!" Luka's nasal voice was very heavy, which would make him look very honest. He stared at the bronze bell-sized eyes and looked eastward. Unfortunately, in his eyes, there was nothing but the endless hills.

El City was celebrating the victory of the battle, and the whole streets and alleys were filled with festive atmosphere. Everyone was immersed in the ocean of joy. Even Ryante, who had been very idle recently, hugged Nancy excitedly and danced happily in the living room of his home. Looking at the sweet expressions between Ryante, Fanny and Nancy, Tracy and Cindy could no longer bear the heat in the room, so he could only sneak out.

Soon, Tracy and Cindy were overwhelmed by the crowds of carnivals on the street, not knowing that they were dancing with the young man, while I took the tauren Ruka to squeeze as little as possible to the place where there were fewer people. At this time, it seemed very difficult to find a quiet place in the city. Even the usually quiet magic academy was scattering with gorgeous magic fireworks. Even during the day, the sky above the Central Mountain seemed colorful.

Ryante has been a depressed work as an instructor in the Al-City Militia Reserve, which is completely inconsistent with his inner fanatical fighting will, and it is exactly what Fanny and Nancy need most.

I heard Tracy secretly tell me that in order to make Ryante lose the energy to pay attention to the battle outside the city, Fanny and Nancy almost used all their strength.

Fanny will keep Ryante busy every day, and Ryante just feels that he is a little sorry for Nancy, so he often tries to do his best to do his best to the request he has made recently.

Tracy had a bad impression of Nancy. Although she was pretty good about Cindy, she thought Nancy was more shameless than the prostitutes on the bar street in North City. Nancy would wear sexy pajamas every night, like a slut with excessive desires, pestering Ryante all night. For Nancy, a woman in her thirties, she was the age of greedy and greedy. Ryante also satisfies the newlywed wife's request as much as possible, and for a moment, she really stopped the idea of ​​going to the front to fight.

In this winter, Ryante became a person who was proud of love and frustrated in the battlefield.

I think Fanny is also very confused at this moment. In order to tie Ryante to the gentle country so that he can not let him fight the barbarians, Fanny has paid more. I don’t know how Fanny will deal with her and Nancy after this winter. With the deep feelings between Fanny and Ryante, maybe Fanny will drive Nancy and his daughter away, and Ryante will not turn against her!

Fanny probably won't do that, she's not such a mean person.

...

Before I knew it, I actually took Luka outside the northern city. On the battlefield where the smoke of gunpowder was still seeing some refugees cleaning the battlefield under the command of the knights in the Knight Order.

The warm wind blew on my face, brushing through the snow-covered land, while the tauren Luka and I sat on a big rock not far outside the north city, talking about going to Haiyinsi to see the endless sea in the future.

At this time, a group of knights from the Knights came towards us from afar. The person in charge was actually the entourage of the Great Knight Arnold Wilder who had met me. I thought he was carrying out some mission of the Knights to come to the outside of the North City, but I didn't expect them to walk directly to me.

The entourage dressed in exquisite leather armor gave me a deep blessing, then said a lot of words of thank you, and finally explained the purpose of coming.

It turned out that this entourage was also visiting the Knights Arnold Wilder's Knights' Order soldiers to the manor, and learned that my Taurus entourage and I were wandering outside the North City, and they rushed over from the manor in the city.

The reason is very simple. In order to thank me, the Great Knight gave me ten barbarian prisoners and asked me to accept them.

Seeing that the entourage's attitude was sincere and firm, and without too much refusal, I agreed to accept it. Of course, the barbarian captives are still in the water prison of El City. In fact, the very generous gift given to me by the great knight is itself the left ear of the ten barbarians.

According to the general practice, there is no need to consider the current state of the barbarians. Just wait for the knights of the guard battalion. After beheading these barbarians, I will get the left ears of ten barbarians, and then directly take these left ears to the logistics department to exchange for their achievements.

For these barbarians, the residents of the north hated them to the core and never said that they had captured prisoners. The reason why some barbarian prisoners were imprisoned in the water prison was that a memorial ceremony would be held in the subsequent ceremony. At the ceremony, some barbarian prisoners needed to be killed to pay homage to the heroes who died in battle, so these barbarians would live until now. Otherwise, after being captured, these barbarians would be killed immediately by the knights of the Knights.

With ten barbarian prisoners, my thoughts were a little different from others. I couldn't help but smile bitterly. Killing prisoners would make me break through my moral bottom line. I don't want to do this, but what can I do?
