Under the scorching sun, Richard, with his handsome features, shiny blond hair and wearing a black wizard robe, rode on a horse and walked slowly on the driveway.

Ten knights in armor and holding lances were following behind him, with one-handed shields and short bows hanging on their horses' backs. A carriage loaded with goods followed behind the team.

Richard was an ordinary high school student, but he suddenly got into a car accident and died on the spot.

After waking up, he found that he had turned into a baby. The baby's physique made him confused all day long when he first came into this world. He would eat after waking up and then sleep again.

But soon, after he grew up, he gradually realized that he had traveled through time, and in a very painful way, he traveled back to his mother's womb.

His father, Henry Xavier, possessed the strength of a third-level knight. When he was young, he had fought in another dimension, and as a result, he retired due to injuries. He inherited his grandfather's title of baron and the attached barony.

Richard is Henry's second son, and Henry doesn't like him.

He is a time traveler and often behaves unusually. More importantly, Richard is just the child of Henry and a maid, an illegitimate child, and does not have noble status.

When Richard was five years old, he finally realized that he had come to a world with magic and fighting spirit, but unfortunately, his body did not inherit Henry's talent for practicing fighting spirit, and there were no wizards in Henry's barony, so Richard's magical talent could not be verified.

When Richard was twelve years old, he accidentally blew up a corner tower of the Baron's castle while studying gunpowder. Henry may have thought of this possibility and hired a wizard to help Richard awaken magic. After all, Richard was like a wizard, studying dangerous magic experiments.

Richard was also discovered by wizards to have a talent for magic, and was asked to go to St. John's School of Magic to study magic. Four years later, he completed the promotion from a magic apprentice to a formal wizard and was named a noble lord.

After becoming a lord, Richard was told that every noble had to perform military service. Ordinary nobles could send their non-active knights to perform military service, but those who became nobles by being promoted to magicians needed to perform military service themselves.

So, the sixteen-year-old Richard applied and came to the Ouyun plane. The ten knights behind him were his father Henry's support for his son. Including the knights, mounts, weapons and armor, the total value was two hundred gold coins.

Richard looked back and saw that except for the knights' leader Hansen, who had followed Henry to participate in the war, he was 32 years old this year, had the strength of a first-level knight, and had certain combat experience.

The other knights were no older than twenty-two, and they didn't even have the strength of a first-level knight. One must know that the promotion of a knight was not like that of a wizard, who needed long periods of meditation to enhance his spiritual power. Instead, the promotion of a knight relied on the body's feedback and fierce battles to nourish the fighting spirit. This meant that these knights had either never experienced a decent battle, or they couldn't even get enough to eat at home.

What else could a team like this be but cannon fodder?

According to the information Richard learned from the St. Saint School of Magic, the Ouyun plane was the new plane invaded by the Jeff Kingdom in recent years, and the military casualties rate was extremely high.

"Enemy attack! Prepare to fight!"

Hansen's shout suddenly rang out. Richard looked carefully and saw in the distance that more than twenty Ouyun soldiers wearing animal skins and riding wild boars were charging towards him.

"Paine, you protect Lord Richard while he casts the spell, and everyone else follow me." Hansen, as the captain of the knights, immediately began to command the knights. After he finished speaking, he glanced at Richard. Paine was the tallest of the ten knights.

Richard himself had no combat experience, so he naturally did not refute and said, "I will cast a spell to support you."

Both sides were cavalry, so Hansen naturally could not allow the other side to charge at him. After the Ou Yun soldiers rushed to a certain range, he immediately led the remaining knights to counterattack, while Richard and Hansen stayed beside the carriage.

After the two sides charged together, Richard discovered that the battle was right within the range of his spellcasting, and he couldn't help but admire the knight Hansen.

The spellcasting began immediately.

"Level 1 fire elemental magic, fireball."

A fist-sized fireball slowly condensed in front of Richard, and under the guidance of Richard's spiritual power, it flew towards an Ouyun soldier.

"what"

The Ou Yun soldier screamed, and both he and the wild boar began to burn violently, turning into a charred corpse in a few seconds.

An especially tall soldier among the Ouyun soldiers was fighting Hansen with a spear. When he discovered that there was a wizard, he hurriedly shouted a few times to his men.

Six Ou Yun soldiers immediately broke away from the team and rushed towards Richard.

Richard cast another fireball and burned one of the soldiers who rushed over to him to death. Seeing that the remaining five soldiers were about to rush over, he immediately changed to another magic.

"Level 1 earth element magic, swamp magic."

The ground in front of them began to soften, and the wild boars under the five Ou Yun soldiers were stuck in the mud one after another. Several soldiers immediately abandoned the wild boars and jumped over on their backs. Pine immediately raised his lance and rushed forward. One Ou Yun soldier was stabbed in the chest by Pine before he even hit the ground.

"Level 1 ice elemental magic, Ice Armor."

A shield made of ice protected Pine and his horse. Seeing this, Pine became even more courageous and rode his horse at the soldiers. Richard cast two more fireballs and cooperated with Pine to kill the remaining soldiers.

Seeing this, the tall Ou Yun soldier shouted a few words that Richard could not understand, and then drove the wild boar. The other Ou Yun soldiers also gave up fighting and drove the wild boar to escape.

Hansen and the others took the opportunity to chase and kill. Richard himself had just been promoted and only had enough magic power to cast about ten spells. He remembered the old saying "Don't chase after a desperate enemy" and shouted to Hansen, "Hansen, don't chase. Be careful of the Ouyun people's ambush."

Although Hansen was somewhat dissatisfied, he was in his prime and urgently needed military merits to get promoted. However, Richard was his superior, so he did not refute. He took out a dagger from his backpack and cut off the heads of the Ouyun people he had just killed.

Richard looked at the bloody head and couldn't help but frowning. Although he was used to it, he still felt uncomfortable. The nine knights next to him were much better. They had seen a lot of these things since they had lived in Jeff Kingdom since childhood.

Seeing Richard's embarrassed expression, Hansen quickly explained, "We killed the Ouyun soldiers, and these heads are our military merits. If there were no heads, the masters in the Military Merit Office would definitely not recognize it."

Richard nodded after listening to this. In addition to the time limit, there are also military merit requirements for obeying military service. If the military merit requirements are not met within the time limit, the service time will be extended.

Several other knights also dismounted and helped Hansen sort out the spoils.

After sorting it out, Richard discovered that except for the one who was burned to death by the fireball at the beginning and the six who were killed by charging at him, Hansen was the only one who was killed at the beginning, and finally Hansen killed two more soldiers when the Ouyun soldiers fled.

In less than five minutes, except for Hansen and Pine, the other knights did not kill a single enemy. Richard looked at the corpses of the Ouyun soldiers who had crude weapons and even no armor, and he couldn't help but feel pessimistic about his future.
