My Magic Age

Chapter 225 25. Hunting in the Forest (Part 1)

Looking down from a high altitude, the expeditionary force walking in the mountains is divided into countless small teams distributed like spider webs in the vast mountains. The number of this expeditionary force exceeds 5,000, including the reserves of the El City Defense Guard Knights. Troops, Ayr Junior War College, Staines College, Ayr The City Magician's Union, the El City Adventure Group Union, the El City Industrial School, the El City Merchants Union, etc. The top commander of this expeditionary force is Colonel Mastin of the El City Defense Department, and it is he who leads the three thousand The reserve force of the Guards Knights formed the most basic structure of this expeditionary force.

At the forefront are the reserve troops of the Knights. These young warriors belong to the reserve regiment affiliated with the El City Guard Corps. The laws of the Green Empire stipulate that all male citizens are obliged to perform military service after reaching the age of sixteen. This A large reserve guard regiment was also born under this law. Many residents of El City were worried that their children would be able to resist the attacks on the ice and snow tundra after joining the North Wind Legion. Barbarians will present various dangers, so in order to preserve and continue the family bloodline, the nobles in El City created such a force that nominally belongs to the North Wind Legion, but the actual control and management rights belong to El City. Such a reserve force actually exists in every city. It costs a lot of money to buy a place in the guard regiment. This reserve force of the Knights of the Guard Hall is exactly such a team.

Speaking of which, this kind of army reserve force is looked down upon by the regular army. Now such an army is rushing to the front. It is obvious that they heard that the 300,000 troops of the North Wind Army on the front line surrounded tens of thousands of barbarians from the Celtic barbarian tribes. Between the Cursed Land and the Galloping Horse River, these people planned to rush to the front line to grab military glory.

In order to cover up the eating statues better, we specially gathered student armies from major famous schools in El City and organized some powerful trade unions in El City to participate. Some magicians and adventurers joined in, making the nondescript The lineup of the temporary army looks more gorgeous, but among these organizations, the most disadvantaged is the Chamber of Commerce. They not only have to provide personnel, but are also responsible for preparing supplies for the entire team along the way.

It was under such chaotic circumstances that the senior management of Stans School resolutely decided to send a team composed of senior students and key teachers to join the crusade. In fact, their idea was to use this time to Dongfeng has made a significant contribution to Stans College, and it has also given Stans College, which has little foundation, a historic event worthy of bragging and showing off.

The students of Stans College lined up behind the large army. In just three days, these teenagers who usually regarded themselves as campus elites in school were already disgraced. The laws of the empire did not require women to perform military service, but there were many people who studied combat skills in academies and wanted to become female warriors.

Because the northern provinces are deeply troubled by the winter slave hunting operations of the barbarians, it is extremely common that there are more girls than boys in each province. Girls must also bear the responsibility of supporting their families when they grow up. In this way, there are Many girls will also go to school to learn some combat skills in order to be able to work in jobs with high enough wages in the future.

Stans College also has a considerable number of female students, but not many of them can become elites and join the ranks of this expedition. Tracy is one of these female students, not only because her father is a very prestigious rapier swordsmanship instructor at Stans Academy, but this also has a lot to do with her own strength. Tracy also has a close relationship with Ryan Likewise, she is an expert with swords. Her body coordination is very good and she can easily complete various extremely difficult movements. Tracy is also a popular figure in Stans Academy.

At this time, I followed her, helplessly being pulled by her on the narrow field ridge. The green wheat waves undulating in the field moved with our steps, and a few flowers were floating in the blue sky like cotton candy. Under the same white clouds, the breeze blew Tracy's long golden hair away. She stretched out her hand to tuck the hair behind her ears. The exquisite leather armor made her figure look particularly tall. I secretly tried to pull my hand back, but she held my finger tightly and never let go for a moment. She turned back and looked at me deeply, lowered her voice and said in my ear: "Follow me obediently." Come on, don't accidentally fall into the field and dirty your clothes, you will need me to wash them in the end!"

"My sense of balance has always been good, Tracy. I don't think I will fall. Just let go!" I quickly continued what she said.

Leon is in the team not far away. He finally discovered that something is not right these days. Tracy does not put on the airs of a sister in front of me, and she always competes with me on some things. , but he was worried about being scolded by Liant, so he would always quarrel with each other when Liant was not paying attention.

"Hmph!" Tracy snorted softly.

She quickened her pace on the field ridge. She deliberately walked a little faster, thinking that she would make me fall on the field ridge and embarrass myself in front of her friends. Tracy is a head taller than me. Her legs are very long. When she runs, she doesn’t stride very wide, but her frequency is extremely fast. This kind of stride can only be learned by people who practice using rapiers, and this kind of stride has a unique rhythm. , I started to feel a little uncomfortable, and I was staggering and running very awkwardly. This also made Tracy's mouth corners slightly raised, looking very proud.

But after all, she was in a team. Even if Trey wanted to run quickly, she quickly caught up with the team in front, and it was impossible to cross the team and run to the front, so she could only follow the team obediently. Obviously some people in this team were once students of Liant. They have not been in contact with me in the past few days, but they have seen me following Liant. It is obvious that my identity has been spread in the academy, and some instructors have seen I will also shed a gentle smile, just as I work hard to mix it thoroughly Breathing and trying to follow Tracy's pace and rhythm while running on the field ridge, someone in the front team turned back and smiled mysteriously at me, and then he said bluntly to Tracy: "Hey, Tracy, Leon, The idiot behind him is so angry, are you really not going to go over and comfort him? "

Tracy took a steady breath, glared at the man fiercely, and then secretly looked at the situation behind him. When he saw not far behind him, sure enough, Leon kept looking over, his face darkened and he was about to get angry, but then Knowing that this is a place where it is not easy to get angry, Tracy continued: "Jia, let's go back!"

"Hey! Hey! I'm really not afraid of that person slandering you. You'd better think about how to make up a reason to hide this matter. Leave your brother here for a while, and I will take care of it for you." The man stopped Tracy's hand again, but this time Tracy did not refuse again. Instead, he looked at me and said, "I'm warning you, Albert, don't say useless words in front of Jia. I'll be back soon!"

The young man named Albert winked at me with a smile. I saw that he was also a very interesting person, so I was very interested in staying and chatting with him. In this boring place It’s rare to meet such an interesting person while traveling. He knew Tracy's weaknesses very clearly. He knew what Tracy cared about more at this time, so he could send Tracy away with just one sentence. He seemed to know that I didn’t really like walking on the field with Tracy, so he left me behind with just one sentence.

In the past two days, I have deeply realized the preferential treatment that I can receive as a family member of a teacher. The students Liant taught would look for opportunities to give me kind looks, and some would even secretly put a piece of honey cookie in my pocket. During this march, although the merchants brought food and There is plenty of water, but the taste of old rice is not acceptable to everyone, so children from wealthy families will bring some biscuits and some lunch meat in their luggage. When they secretly share the delicious food, Usually they call me to share.

"Tracy, your vision this time is really bad, a little willful. I'm very happy to meet you. My name is Albert. I have heard your name for a long time, but we have never met. Since I was in Stan After going to Si College, Tracy broke up with us because of that boy over there, saying he was looking for so-called love! Haha, what a ridiculous fool," Albert said, laughing until tears flowed from his eyes. He seemed to think this was a ridiculous joke.

I asked strangely: "There is nothing wrong with what she said!"

At this time, it was Albert's turn to answer my words and opened his mouth wide in surprise. Instead, someone next to him said: "Hey! Albert, I heard that you are going to open a box of lunch meat at noon today. We are all here!"

This voice resolved the embarrassment, and Albert came back to his senses and said: "Even if I talk too much, it seems that you really defend Tracy! Let's get to know each other again. I am Mr. Liant's student. My name is Ai Bert! At noon, we are going to have lunch meat stewed with small hazel mushrooms. These mushrooms were picked from under the golden apple tree yesterday, so we can try them together!"

"Okay!" I'm always very interested in eating, and I won't refuse something delicious.

In order not to damage the crops in the field, the team had to pass through the entire wheat field before stopping to rest. Otherwise, Colonel Mastin gave an order to rest, and everyone sat on the ridge to rest, fearing that the entire wheat field would be destroyed. It was going to be a disaster, but obviously Albert also invited some of his friends. A box of lunch meat that was originally enough for one person to share with a few teenagers seemed a bit small, even if there were some prepared fresh hazelnuts. Mushrooms are also slightly lacking.

But obviously everyone is very good at this kind of dinner. The person next to him took out a pack of air-dried rib bacon from his backpack, and then said happily: "I just happened to have a piece of bacon that I haven't finished yet. How about lunch?" Let’s cook together!”

Albert turned his eyes to the oak forest at the end of the wheat field, and said after a while: "Maybe we should eat some fresh game. I heard that during the last experience, someone captured a musk deer in the oak forest. It is said that the meat It’s delicious when grilled. I thought maybe we could try our luck in the woods!”

"Those reservists from the guard regiment are walking at the front. They have scared away any game. Where can we hunt it?" Someone from behind said.

Albert said: "Go deeper, and if you are lucky, you may be able to encounter it! Anyway, we are getting closer to the battlefield. Those reservists are not willing to go further. I guess they can only walk through it today." We will camp and rest in this wheat field. If the news from the battlefield ahead comes, we will never act rashly, so we have a lot of time to spend hunting."

There were a lot of complaints in his words, and he seemed to have a lot of dissatisfaction with the Knights of the Guard Hall.

"Stop complaining and think about how we can get a good lunch. I heard that Mr. Ryant brought his little son out this time. It looks like you. Hello, my name is Ivli!" The man introduced himself very directly, and then said, "We have been Tracy's playmates since we were young, but that guy has been increasingly disgusted with us since he went to school in Stans. She has her own circle of friends, so we haven't met!"

"Call me Jia, Ivli..."

I have always felt that Tracy doesn't have enough friends. She rarely brings her friends home. Occasionally, those girls or boys in ordinary clothes will also appear very restrained. They prefer to stand outside the door of the villa and wait for Tracy. I always feel a little strange. At first, I even thought that Tracy was on guard against me, so she rarely invited friends to her home. Later, I gradually discovered that she didn't have many friends, and she had more friends as a civilian.

At this time, I realized that she was not without friends, but for some reason, those friends who grew up with her were now estranged.

However, these people were very enthusiastic and kind to me, which I could clearly feel.

I turned my head and looked at Ryant who was walking steadily in the team not far behind me. He seemed to encourage me to come out and communicate with these teenagers more. Maybe in his and Fanny's eyes, my personality was a little too introverted. I liked to hide in the attic in recent years. Now I have a rare opportunity to contact some peers who are a few years older than me, maybe I can make some friends. Ryant thought: It is because I am too lonely and have no friends that I will go out every year.

Seeing someone accept me into their circle, Ryant is very supportive of this.

...beautiful dividing line...

Stepping on the damp and rotten dead leaves in the forest, these elites of the Stas School did not know that the sound of the dead branches and rotten leaves being stepped on would scare away many small wild animals, or make them hide in caves in advance. If they could catch prey while walking in the forest, they would only be stupid roe deer.

There are only three people in our team, Albert, Ivli and me. The two of them are the same age as Tracy, but Albert is a seventh-level warrior apprentice who is good at using long-handled weapons. He carries a giant slash on his back and wears a set of chain mail with sheepskin soft armor lining. The strong Ivli wears a pair of iron fists, a pair of arm guards with countless barbs tied on his wrists, and the same on his legs. At first glance, you can tell that he is a warrior who is good at close combat.

Ivli looked up and straightened his chest, looked up at the giant oak tree towering into the sky, turned around and chatted with me: "Jia, you are almost old enough to go to school!"
