My Magic Age

The falcons hunted the lone barbarians in the forest of the Antia Mountains in the north of El City, and finally achieved results.

Some barbarians who came out of the wilderness began to sense the danger. They instinctively stopped and began to look for their companions. I don’t understand what kind of connection exists between the barbarians, but they can clearly feel the danger in the Antia Mountains. Some barbarians gathered together, united, and entered the forest of the Antia Mountains together. They looked for the bodies of their companions buried under the ice and snow.

When the barbarians found that the companions who had lost their left ears died miserably with unwilling and hideous faces, the angry roars of the barbarians resounded through the valley. In recent days, more than 500 barbarian warriors have rushed into this mountain forest, and some impatient falcon teams have begun to suffer casualties. They often ambush lone barbarians, but fail to kill them with thunder, and are surrounded and killed by barbarians rushing from the surroundings. Some can escape safely, some are injured, and some die.

These barbarians were supposed to obey the call of the horn and continue to gather under the city of El, but along the way, there were constant news that barbarians were killed in the Antia Mountains. The horror of death continued in the barbarian team, making those barbarians begin to become irritable. Finally, some irritable barbarian teams ignored the call of the horn and entered the Antia Forest Sea to launch a series of revenge actions.

This place is becoming more and more dangerous for us falcons. Cynthia has already set a date for us to leave. Maybe our next destination will be the Fishing Lake area, or maybe somewhere else. Who knows, anyway, we can't stay here.

Some bad news has been sent by the falcons. There are entire teams that have been surrounded and killed by barbarians in this mountainous area. As long as they are discovered by the same number of barbarian teams, it is difficult to get rid of those barbarians who cross mountains and ridges as if they were walking on flat ground without special means.

The atmosphere began to become tense...

...

A team of nearly 100 Green Empire slaves walked in the mountains and forests. Among these slaves, there were only middle-aged men and some teenagers. They were chained together and walked hard on the snow. Hunger, injuries, fatigue, and coldness were constantly destroying their bodies. A dozen barbarians were scattered around the team, holding snakeskin whips in their hands. As long as they saw someone moving slowly, they would wave their hands and whip them.

These are residents outside the city of El. They will be driven back to the snowy tundra by the barbarians. They will have to mine in the dark mines for the rest of their lives until they die.

Unfortunately, they are protected too closely by these barbarians. Unless the regular army of the North Wind Legion comes, no one can save them.

When this team of slaves passed by the temple on the hillside of Antia, the temple had already closed its doors. The priests on the tower seemed a little cold and ruthless. They usually shouted "Gods have mercy on the world", but when they saw the surrounding residents being captured by the barbarians, they were indifferent. They just stood quietly in the parapet, fearing that a flying axe would be thrown over and cut off their heads.

The barbarians wandered around the temple for a long time, but they didn't dare to provoke the priests who were blessed by the Statue of Liberty. Even the warriors in the barbarian tribe could not withstand the blatant blow of the hammer of divine punishment, so they decided to give up the capture of the temple.

The barbarians bypassed the steep bluestone walls outside the temple, carrying hundreds of kilograms of supplies and huge crude weapons, each driving their own slaves, and poured into the forest behind Antia Mountain.

We stood at the commanding heights of the mountain and could see everything.

Many falcons chose to leave this forest and go to other places to look for lone barbarians. They gradually evacuated from the secret ancient road in the western mountains, and we also set the retreat route there. Now, we have successfully pinned down hundreds of barbarians and firmly sucked them into the Antia Mountains. In fact, we have achieved the predetermined goal, and everyone knows that it is time to leave.

Hundreds of slaves, like livestock, were driven into the Antia Mountains by a dozen barbarian warriors.

Looking at the strong barbarians walking on the mountain road, Captain Cynthia's chest was heaving violently, her face was a little flushed, I could feel the surging fighting spirit in her heart, her eyes burst into angry fire, and she gritted her teeth and cursed: "These bastards!"

Wayne tightly held Basil who wanted to rush down, and reason made me only watch this team of barbarians quietly walk through the valley pass.

Now in this mountain range, even if we can easily surround a lone barbarian, as long as he is willing to roar, it won't take long for other barbarians to come to support us. At that time, we will be chased by a large number of barbarians. No one can outrun those barbarians in the mountains.

"Let's go!" Cynthia forced herself to issue this order.

We climbed the last mountain range in the west of Antia Mountain, and withdrew from the ancient road at the foot of the mountain range before the barbarians surrounded this place to death.

Gabriel, the captain of the Falcon 7th Squad, questioned Captain Cynthia behind her: "Are we just going to let those dozen barbarians enslave our compatriots, and we will just ignore it and turn a blind eye?"

The 1.9-meter-tall man stood at the entrance of the ancient road, helpless like a child. He punched his shoulder with his fist and questioned Cynthia: "Are we going to betray the oath we made in the academy?"

Chivalry is not only used by knights. Every student of the Warrior Academy took the oath with the instructors in the first open class.

Gabriel raised his fist high and shouted loudly: "Humility, honor, sacrifice, bravery, mercy, honesty, spirit, justice, have we forgotten all these?"

Gabriel continued to ask Cynthia: "Captain Cynthia, what are you hesitating about?"

"That is a tomb. I promised everyone in the team that I have the responsibility to bring them back to El City safely. This is my responsibility. It is more valuable for us to survive than to stay here and die. We are falcons. As long as we are alive, they will never sleep well for a day." Cynthia yelled hysterically at Gabriel: "Don't expect to fight like the soldiers in the North Wind Legion. Falcons must have their own style!"

Gabriel to Cynthia's team The leader pleaded: "We have five falcon teams willing to stay and take a risk. There is a great hope of success. Our seventh team will complete the task of covering the rear. I will block those barbarians outside the ancient road, so that you have enough time to evacuate safely. Stay and kill those beasts with us. We need the strength of the warriors in your team."

Gabriel is a shield warrior, with a hemostatic bandage wrapped around his strong chest, but I know that the knife wound should be fine, but the dried blood on the bandage makes him look a little embarrassed, and his armor has been dented in many places by blunt objects. Just looking at his worn-out armor, you can imagine what kind of hard battle he has experienced.

Two days ago, when he ambushed a lone barbarian, he was injured by two other barbarians who arrived in time. It happened that our team and the fifth team also passed through this valley and rescued the falcons of the seventh team from the brink of death.

We paid a considerable price for just two barbarians. When dealing with the two crazy barbarian warriors, almost one of the barbarians rushed to Vayne. The spear in his hand was against Vayne's ribs and nailed to the big tree next to her. If it was a little more accurate, Vayne would be injured. Even so, in the battle, Cynthia, Luka and Xiu were all slightly injured to varying degrees.

If Gabriel had not seen my "water therapy", he might have remained silent and led his team away from the valley.

When I saw him, his breastplate seemed to have been cut by a sharp axe, and his chest had been smashed into a bloody mess. The injury made me think he would die. I hurriedly performed the "water therapy" to inject the vitality of the water element into his wound. Although he seemed to be in pain, his wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just one day, Gabriel's strong physique completely healed the wound on his chest. He is a very strong shield warrior with an extraordinary physique.

"I can't take them on an adventure!" Cynthia said to Gabriel without any hesitation.

Under the gaze of several Falcon teams, our team walked into the ancient road.

After walking one kilometer away, we saw the exit on the other side of the ancient road. At this time, Basil suddenly stopped, cleared his throat, and said to Cynthia: "I'm sorry, Cynthia, I can't leave like this. I choose to stay. I'm sorry that I can't fight with you next. To be honest, I am very happy to fight with you!"

"Is this your choice?" Cynthia stopped and looked back at Basil's handsome face.

"I'm still wearing the uniform of the El City Guard Battalion. If even I leave, I don't know how many people will have the courage to stay and fight tomorrow!" Basil turned and left, leaving only this sentence.

Wayne kicked the snow on the ground hard with his foot and whispered: "What an idiot!"

"Let's go!"

Cynthia walked at the front of the team with a stern face.

...

Finally, before nightfall, we walked out of the Antia Mountains along this ancient road and entered the hilly area, where golden apple trees were planted on a large area of ​​land.

On a winter night, the biting north wind blew outside the tent. The five of us sat in the tent in silence, and the atmosphere seemed very dull.

The Fire Gathering Scroll boiled a pot of water, and only the tauren Luka sat in the corner, grunting and biting dry wheat cakes.

The flames reflected on Captain Cynthia's face. She was a little absent-minded. She was always struggling in her heart. She couldn't convince herself to give up the residents of El City, but she didn't have the confidence to successfully rescue those ordinary residents from the hands of the barbarians. If she didn't do it well, we would be hunted down.

She sighed for a long time, and her heroic face looked very tangled.

"Captain, eat something first!" Wayne stuffed a piece of wheat cake into Cynthia's hand.

Xiu stood up and said, "I'll go outside to see what's going on and set up some warning traps!" Then he got out of the tent.

After Xiu walked out, Wei En finally couldn't help what was in her heart, stared at Cynthia and asked, "Captain, I know you really want to rescue those civilians from the hands of the barbarians, why don't we stay and help them?"

In front of outsiders, Wei En has always been on the same front with Cynthia. No matter what decision Cynthia makes, he will be the first to jump out and choose to support her. But she will eventually have her own ideas. When her ideas conflict with Cynthia's decision, she will follow Cynthia's choice.

But this does not mean that Vayne has no doubts in her mind.

"You can't win!"

Cynthia explained her reasons, her eyes looking towards the golden apple trees scattered all over the mountains and plains outside the tent.

To the west of the Antias Mountains is an endless hilly area where many nobles have their fiefdoms. A large number of fruit trees are planted here. The golden cider in Ayr City is more famous than the ale.

I understood what Cynthia meant at this moment. She was saying that if those barbarians were chased out of Mount Antias and entered this hilly land, not only would the rescued civilians be unable to escape to safety, but Even we will be exposed to the sight of the barbarians. We can't outrun those barbarians who are faster than galloping horses.

The barbarian's running speed was not affected at all in the snow.

And we stepped into the deep snow, then pulled it out with difficulty, and trekked through the snow-filled valleys, the speed was more than twice as slow as usual. Although there are endless hills here, there are no Like in mountainous areas, there are many visual blind spots, allowing us to easily avoid the pursuit of barbarians.

Now the entire mountain range has been occupied by a large number of barbarians, and we are forced into these hills. Once we are entangled by those barbarians in these hills, no one can outrun those barbarians. However, this is precisely what Cynthia is most worried about.

"Captain Cynthia..." I stuck a dagger into a piece of luncheon meat that was browned and stained with oil. I opened my eyes wide and said to Cynthia seriously: "I have a way to make us run faster!"

"Jijia, how is this possible!" Cynthia looked at me in disbelief.

I took out the Moonlight Stone Drum Totem and let it float between my hands. A breath of wind element separated from the Stone Drum Totem, spiraled and gathered at Cynthia's feet, forming a line at her feet. Wind circle.

'Wind's Swiftness'

Cynthia looked at the wind circle appearing under her feet in surprise. She couldn't help but try to lift her legs, jump, and run lightly. She found that her body suddenly became much lighter.

"What kind of magic is this?" she asked me curiously.

I didn't know how to answer, so I said apologetically: "This is not my magic, Captain Cynthia!"

Both she and Vayne looked at me curiously.

I continued to explain: "To put it simply, it is the power of wind magic contained in this magic prop!"

When I said this, Cynthia could understand it immediately.

Many magic accessories have some magical abilities. Cynthia thinks that my Stone Drum Totem is similar to those extremely precious magic accessories.

Cynthia experimented and made some moves in the tent. As expected, she became much more sensitive. She seemed a little excited. But not long after, she turned gloomy again, sighed and said to me in embarrassment: "To say that this level of magic effect is also very good. It can increase my combat effectiveness a lot in battle, but it is just Even so, we still can’t outrun those barbarians!”

At this time, two thin and long wooden strips appeared in my hand. They were made of tough yet light Indigo wood. One end of them was slightly tilted upward, looking like a shoulder pole. There are two iron clamp-like devices placed in the middle part. These are the skis I made myself. After the first heavy snowfall, I saw the snow scene in El City. The thick layer of snow on the straight central street was trampled firmly by pedestrians.

So I suddenly thought that it might be a very exciting thing to rush down on a ski from the Central Street of Central Mountain where the Magic Academy is located.

It seems that there is no such activity as skiing in the entire northern part of the Green Empire. I searched in various grocery stores and hunter shops in El City, but no one knew what a snowboard was. So I returned to the Xinliu Valley and asked Kalancso for a piece of Indigo wood (Indigo wood is much tougher than iron wood), and then asked the master craftsman in the woodwork workshop to make it according to my description. Got ten pairs of skis.

I originally wanted to give it as a small gift to my friends, but before I could give it out, I was recommended by Teacher Heidi and became a member of the Falcons.

In the past two days, I had forgotten about this matter. If Captain Cynthia hadn't been worried that we were in a hilly area and couldn't escape the pursuit of those barbarians, I wouldn't have thought about the bundle of skis in the magic waist bag.

"Jia, what is this?" Captain Cynthia asked me curiously.

I carried two one-meter-long skis out of the tent and said, "We should call them skis!"

After saying that, I put the skis on the snow and stepped into the clips of the skis with both feet. The force of the iron springs of this animal clip was still a bit strong, which caused a little pain to my toes and heels. I should wear hard cowhide boots. That's fine. Fortunately, it's just a demonstration. I stood firmly on the skis, took out two thin wooden poles with short iron drills on the tops, and gently pushed them on the snow. When I stepped on the skis, it was like a gust of wind, "swish" , actually slipped out quietly...
