My Magic Age

Chapter 1238 42. Prepare for War

The lake water washes the pebbles on the shore. White waves keep coming up from the lake and slowly disappear in the gaps between the pebbles, leaving only a faint wet mark on the round stones. The damp and cold lake breeze seems to blow into the bones, making me want to lie in front of the fireplace and warm myself up.

I quietly asked Ying Li: Does Prince James hold a picnic similar to afternoon tea by the Weiyang Lake every spring?

Ying Li pulled the woolen shawl and said to me with a smile: Don't you always ask such embarrassing questions? In fact, you can wear more.

The southeast monsoon from the Endless Sea brings a lot of rain to this plain at the foot of Mount Mazzaro. The abundant rainfall here ensures the harvest of crops for farmers on the Blazing Plains throughout the year, and also makes the spring here earlier than other places.

It's just that in early spring, the lakeside is not a good place to drink tea. Watching the high-ranking officials of the South Wind Corps, Prince Wales, and the lords who are around him seeking some benefits wearing gorgeous aristocratic dresses, sitting around the square table, drinking warm milk tea in the cold wind, and determining the next strategic goal in casual conversation, this kind of painful and expectant taste is really wonderful.

The melted ice and snow on the top of Mount Mazzaro merge into rivers, which gather from all directions to Weiyang Lake. Weiyang Lake can maintain a stable water line all year round, mainly because there is a culvert connecting the south bank of the lake to the outside of the mountain.

After entering the summer with abundant water, a huge vortex will form at the entrance of the underground culvert. Fences and large-hole fishing nets will be set up at the entrance of the culvert to prevent people and animals from accidentally falling into the lake and being sucked into the culvert by the huge suction of the vortex.

Listening to the rumbling sound of water, I knew how big the difference between the underground channel and the water level of Weiyang Lake was. I really wanted to go to the overflow embankment next to the underground channel to take a look, but after thinking about it, I still resisted this inappropriate idea.

For a water magician, there are not many places more comfortable than the lakeside. There are a lot of water elements floating here. If you are sensitive enough, you will know that there is a slowly rotating magic vortex around your body. At this time, the magic vortex is filled with rich water elements, which are constantly pouring into my body.

Prince James sat in the host seat, Prince of Wales sat on his left, and next to Prince of Wales was Le Die. The middle-aged butler took me and Ying Li over. Sure enough, there were two empty seats next to Le Die. I motioned Ying Li to sit in first, and then sat on the chair next to her.

Some noble lords were sitting on the right side of Prince James. When they saw us coming, they all looked at me and Ying Li. Almost all of these lords wore the first-class marquis's title medals. They were wearing gorgeous dresses and looked very friendly.

The reason why these noble lords could sit here was that they currently belonged to the same interest group as the South Wind Legion and Prince Wales's Constructed Knights.

During the plane war, various forces cooperated with each other and formed alliances. Each great lord would have his own private constructed knights under his command. These constructed knights were usually stationed in the lords' territories. Only after the plane war broke out, the Abyss Dark Legion forcefully invaded many rich planes of the Green Empire. At the beginning, these lords still commanded their own armies to fight each other. It was not until the situation deteriorated to the point where it was out of control that the lords thought of uniting to resist the forces of the Abyss Dark Legion.

It was also at this time that many plane war interest symbionts were derived.

At the beginning, many small lords began to actively attach themselves to the big lords on these planes in order to protect their territories from the invasion of the dark forces. They became the main fighting force on these planes to resist the dark forces of the Abyss.

But later, as the plane war gradually worsened, many small lords saw that the momentum was not good, so they withdrew from some planes in danger. They retained their own strength and began to run to the imperial capital to wait and see the situation.

Last summer, Duke Ryan returned to the Green Imperial Capital to take advantage of Prince Wells' victory in the Battle of Kenpato on the Warsaw plane and wanted to invite some small lords with constructed knights to go to the Warsaw plane to open up a new situation. Unfortunately, due to the Alia incident, he lost his reputation and failed to bring any constructed knights back to the Warsaw plane. Warsaw plane was once again in danger.

As the supreme commander of the South Wind Corps, Prince James is not short of such small lords with private armed forces. Many lords try their best to get on the big ship of Prince James, just to win a few battles during the plane war. Victory means that they will gain a lot of territory and merit.

Prince Wells is one of the two most favored generals among the younger generation of the imperial capital. In addition to Prince Wells, the other young general is the first heir of the Mo family, the eldest son of the Mo family, Mo Xiang.

Because of this, some lords also hope to follow Prince Wells and participate in some battles, even if it is just to share a little soup.

Of course, the lords who can sit at the table with Prince James and drink afternoon tea at this moment are not those small lords who want to take advantage of the wind. They are qualified to sit here and chat with Prince James, discuss the next strategic goals together, and pursue the victory of the plane war together, which shows that they are also powerful lords with at least one or several constructed knights in their hands.

These people will not easily put their Construct Knights into danger, but they like to follow the victory of a certain battle to continuously expand the results of victory.

It cannot be said that these lords are a group of outright speculators, and they cannot be belittled too much. At least they are willing to take their knights to take risks. Compared with these lords, those lords who will not do anything and escape the war are the ones who need to be blamed the most.

The senior generals of the South Wind Army sat at the end of the table. I basically didn't know any of them except Earl Donald, but they all wore the uniforms of the South Wind Army and had a row of senior badges on their chests, which made people recognize their origins at a glance.

When Prince James saw me and Ying Li rushing over, he nodded to us, and then said to the senior generals of the South Wind Army around him: "Speaking of which, this is probably the first time that Ji Jia has attended our party. Those of you who like to pay attention to magic newspapers should know Ji Jia!"

In this year, if Prince Wales and Young Master Mo Xiang have frequently appeared in magic newspapers with positive images, then I have appeared in magic newspapers purely with a negative image. When everyone first knew me in magic newspapers, it was because I, as a magician, competed with a duke for a woman. This crazy act of trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm left a deep impression on me in the eyes of many people.

Then I offended William, a young member of the Mo family. William was a young dragon blood mage. Although he was not the heir to the family, he was one of the most promising young people in the Mo family and was the focus of the family's training. However, at the end of the summer semester last year, I beat William up on the rooftop of the Royal Magic Academy's teaching building, which meant that before I had a certain level of strength, the door of the Mo family would always be closed to me.

A lot of things happened this year, including that I later had a grudge with all the inscription masters in the imperial capital because of a life magic pattern, and I married His Highness Qi Ge and Princess Ying Li overnight after an adult ceremony. Many people in the imperial capital speculated that the day when Prince Wales returned from the battlefield with the Knights was the day when I was completely exiled from my life, but these people's fantasies were shattered.

After so many things came together, it was difficult for those noble lords who liked to read the magic newspapers in the imperial capital not to know me.

Hearing Prince James say this, the senior generals of the South Wind Corps laughed loudly, and the atmosphere became slightly more lively.

Prince Wales also took the opportunity to nod slightly to me.

This time, Prince James openly let me appear at such a party, and also told everyone that he officially accepted me.

Many lords would restrain their contempt when looking at me, but these lords had no intention of talking to me. They were not even willing to stay on me. They chatted with Prince Wales from time to time, and they seemed cautious when speaking, for fear that something wrong would irritate the young prince.

After all, Prince Wales had recently won another victory on the Luoqi plane. Wales's eyes fell on the Luoqi plane. Since there was a victory, there would be a second time.

The lords obviously wanted to get a share of the Luoqi plane very much. At this time, I am afraid that no one would want to anger Prince Wales. Even if they ignored me, they didn't want to be hated by Prince Wales.

I sat leisurely on the chair, and saw the fragrant scones on the square table, so I took a piece. This scones tasted very light, and there was a unique wheat flavor when chewed carefully. Seeing that I was eating very sweetly, Ledie also took a piece out of curiosity, but she just took a bite and refused to continue eating. There was no way to throw the scones away, so she just stuffed it to the maid standing behind.

Count Donald happened to be sitting opposite me. When he saw me looking over, he nodded slightly to me, and then said calmly: "The quality of the several batches of goods supplied recently is very good. Even in North Duisburg, these are first-class products."

I smiled modestly and asked Count Donald: "Has the next batch of procurement plans for the Corps been finalized?"

"Of course, but it is a military secret now, so it is not convenient to disclose it." Count Donald said to me.

I nodded slightly to show my understanding.

Donald then said to me: "Why don't you join our South Wind Corps? Then you will know our next action plan."

In his opinion, Prince James brought me to everyone to show everyone that he had accepted me, so it was not difficult to arrange me in the South Wind Corps. Seeing that I was a little hesitant, he thought I was embarrassed to speak to Prince James, so he said to me: "If you feel embarrassed to mention this to His Royal Highness, I will go and talk to him."

I didn't have any idea about the South Wind Corps, so I said to Earl Conrad: "Oh, forget it for now, after all, I came from the North. I promised Grand Duke Jingyue of Sloyt Province that I would join the North Wind Corps after graduation."

Donald was very surprised that I would make such a choice, but seeing me say this, he could only express his understanding.

Sitting next to me was a burly noble lord. The cut style of the light leather armor he wore revealed that he was probably from the western province of the Green Empire. He showed a strong curiosity about me and kept turning his head to look at me.

At this time, I heard Prince James talking about me again: "Recently, Jijia went to the Yello plane with Yingli and Ledie."

One of the senior officers of the South Wind Corps said: "We have heard about this. It has been almost a month since Rez and Jason went to the Yello plane, but unfortunately there has been no news."

"The matter of the Yello plane has come to an end for the time being. It won't take too long for them to return from the Yello plane." Prince James said with relief.

Hearing Prince James say this, everyone in the South Wind Corps breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that Count Rez has a good interpersonal relationship in the South Wind Corps.

"They came back with the head of the Spider Commander this time..." Prince James continued.

I was a little absent-minded and didn't pay attention to what they said later.

Ledie leaned over Yingli slightly, leaned over and whispered to me: "Jijia, help me check Jasmine's injury later."

I nodded slightly.

Afterwards, the noble lords shifted the topic to the Loki plane. It was said that the Nakma people there were also very rampant. Prince Wells' next strategic goal was the Loki plane, so these nobles proposed to Prince Wells in a roundabout way that they were ready to bring their Construct Knights to the Loki plane to share a piece of the pie.

Prince Wells also took out a map of the room distribution of the Loki plane at this time and directly began to analyze the distribution of the Nakma army.

When the lords asked Prince James: Does the South Wind Corps plan to go to the Loki plane?

I heard Prince James say that the strategic focus of the South Wind Corps will be shifted to the Loki plane, and they want to use the waters, lakes and rivers of the Loki plane to separate the Nakma forces, and then concentrate firepower to defeat them one by one. Not only that, the last batch of military supplies on the South Wind Corps side have all arrived, and the vanguard of the Construct Knights will be ready to set off within two days.

After the lords received such news, they began to whisper.

Obviously, they were very interested in sending troops to conquer the Loki plane. Then, the lords began to ask Prince Wells how he managed to escape unscathed after the surprise attack on the Nakma people's rear warehouse.

At this time, Prince Wells glanced at me indifferently, but did not explain to the lords...
