Blessing from the goddess at the beginning, technology VS magic

Going back a little in time, Angela and Bud had infiltrated Rodney's army for some time, relying on forged identity information and their own strength.

Angela got a position as a general healer, mainly in the rear, and Bard became the captain of a certain magician team.

The legion they belong to is directly under the Imperial Capital Garrison, and only in this way can they be monitored. Since they are undercover, it is not easy for them to obtain a position that is too high.

As for why the troops did not go to the front line, it was because there was no need for surveillance there. If they used black magic, it would easily become evidence of the other two princes, and the alliance would definitely launch an attack on Rodney.

So far, they have not found any clues about Mo Luozi. Could it be that their previous guess was wrong, or perhaps the other two princes had framed him?

Today is another day of training as usual. The mission of the Imperial Capital Garrison is to defend the Imperial Capital. Even if the fighting on the front line is fierce, they will not move.

"Hey! Your name is Will, right? I have a special mission for you today. Go and escort this team."

Will was Bud's alias in the army. He looked at the officer who assigned him the task and said with a critical expression:

"Yes! Sir, may I ask where is the destination and what is the focus of the mission?"

The officer nodded with satisfaction: "Well, you are worthy of being someone I value. Under normal circumstances, I would definitely praise you. You have considered a lot."

Then his expression became extremely terrifying again:

"But you don't need to know too much about today's mission. You don't need to know where to go. You just need to follow these people. Wherever they go, you go! You have to protect them even if it means sacrificing your life. Do you understand?!"

Bud hesitated for a moment, but then said, "Understood, sir!"

The officer smiled again and said, "You are a smart man, Will. After this mission is completed, I will ask the higher-ups to promote you. You also want a better future, right?"

Bard also smiled: "Thank you for your care, I promise there will be no mistakes in today's mission."

"Well, take your team and get ready. We'll set off right away."

Including himself, Bard's team consists of 7 people in total. He pretends to be an intermediate magician, and the rest of the team members are junior magicians.

In addition to them, there are 15 other knights in charge of this mission, but their exact strength is unclear.

The people they want to protect are five masked men.

The group left the imperial capital and headed towards the suburbs.

Bard actually didn't understand what such a big fuss was for. Even if there were thieves nearby, they had all been drafted in to serve as soldiers. As for Warcraft, the chance of encountering wild Warcraft in the entire human alliance over the past hundred years was pitifully small.

How important are these people that they need so many people to protect them?

They stopped in a jungle several dozen kilometers after leaving the imperial capital. One of the masked men said:

"We have arrived at our destination. Please wait at a distance. We will call you after we have set up the magic device."

Bard was still curious and asked: "What kind of magic device is this?"

The five masked men turned their heads to look at him. Even though he couldn't see their eyes, Bud still felt as if he was being pulled into an abyss.

"Didn't your superior tell you before you set out? Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

Bard quickly said, "I am sorry for being abrupt. As a magician, I am just curious.

"It's okay to tell you. This is an ancient device that Lord Rodney found in the underground treasury of the imperial capital. It is a powerful magical weapon. We need to place eleven magical devices so that the weapon can be activated. Once the weapon is activated, we can quickly win this war! Defeat those two king killers!"

One of the knights said: "I see, no wonder so many people were sent for this mission."

Bud wondered, does the Stephen Empire still have such weapons? The front line is so far away from here. Even if the weapon is real, how can it attack a target thousands of miles away? Are ancient weapons so powerful?

After a while, the device was installed.

"Okay, you can come over now, but the device is not stable yet, so we need to leave two people here to guard it to prevent it from being damaged by wild animals or humans. We will come back to find you after we have installed everything, and the device will hide itself after it is activated."

The masked man then selected two knights to stay.

This continued throughout the journey. When the tenth device was deployed, Bard was the only knight left in the escort.

Along the way, Bud always had an indescribable strange feeling. When they arrived at the installation of the eleventh device, the two of them went outside to wait as usual.

call out!

A black spear attacked instantly, and Bard immediately activated the magic shield, but the knight next to him was not so lucky. His body was pierced and he had no life anymore.

"Who is it!" Bud shouted.

Then three men in black came out, followed by the five masked men. Bud recognized the identities of the three men in black at a glance.

"Cultist!"

Then the identities of the five masked men are self-evident.

One of the masked men said, "Hey, hey, hey, what happened? You didn't deal with it?"

"Shut up, that was a mistake just now, try again"

The cultist who had just launched the attack attacked again, with several black spears gathering around him and then stabbing towards Bard.

This time, Bard, who was on guard, easily dodged the attacking black spear. The cultist who had just raised his hand to attack also revealed the pattern on his arm, two petals, "I'll start with you."

After Bard adjusted his body shape, he covered his entire body with wind magic. The scorching flames gathered in his right hand to form a sharp sword, which cut off the cultist's neck in an instant.

Before anyone could react, a huge crack appeared under the cultists' feet and magma erupted, covering an area with a radius of 10 meters.

In the end, only three of the nine survived, but their Demon Devouring Shields were overloaded in an instant, and they now looked extremely miserable.

These three people have three petals on their arms. In other words, they are all powerful third-level cultists.

They all thought that the magician in front of them was just an ordinary intermediate magician, so they didn't take it seriously at all, but Bard's true strength was.

"Grand Mage! You! You actually hid your strength in the army. Don't you want to get a higher position?"

One of them roared in panic.

Another person said: "He is also a leader among the great magicians. He can deliberately suppress his leaked magic power."

"But there are three of us, which is more than enough to kill a great mage. Let's attack together!"
