My Magic Age

Chapter 720 220. The Troubles of Knight Disraeli

But for our team, it is a happy thing. The rain will wash away all the remaining smells in the forest and make the giant spiders hide in the dense tree canopy. They don't like to move in the rain.

In this way, our orc team will take advantage of the night and the light rain to quickly leave this mountain.

Takama likes the jungle in summer and is used to patrolling in the rain. She is a very good jungle scout.

In the tropical rainforest of the wild swamp, it rains for more than half of the year, so Takama runs faster than usual in the rain. Her eyes can still see far in the dark, and she can easily find the crisis lurking in the dark night.

With her scouting in front, we can avoid all the giant spiders hiding in the tree canopy. They are the fixed sentinels arranged by the masters. In the outer jungle of the Trum stronghold, there will be a giant spider perched on the tree canopy at a certain distance.

These giant spiders have clear territorial divisions, and almost every giant spider will not cross the border at will. Even in such a dark rainy night, the ground is muddy and slippery, Takama can guide us to accurately avoid almost all giant spider guards.

...

In the battle of the nameless valley, it is not easy to kill this team of spider warriors.

At the last moment, the orc warriors were a little stupid and chose to defeat these spider warriors from the front. Although the strength of the spider warriors at that time was less than half of the usual strength, these big guys like heavy cavalry still caused us a lot of trouble, and many orcs in the team were injured. There were even three orc warriors with bad luck lying on stretchers, carried by others all the way.

All the orc warriors looked very tired, but we needed to quickly get away from that area. I believe that before tomorrow morning, there will be spiders who will find that they have lost forty-seven brave warriors, and there must be a large number of giant spiders. Search the jungle in this area, and we have to move to a safe enough area overnight.

Thanks to the water goddess Eva, it rained tonight.

Qige was wearing a full black magic robe and a big cone hat on her head, which completely covered her. This magic robe was like a raincoat, and it was difficult to walk on the road. I let Qige sit on Luka's shoulders.

In the rain, I could feel the abundant water element. As a water magician, I found that my magic recovery speed had improved significantly, which could increase the magic recovery speed by about 20%. The extremely fast recovery of magic power allowed me to release "hydrotherapy" to the injured orc warriors all the way. I hope their injuries will heal quickly.

In this black forest, you never know what will happen in the next second, so the orc warriors must return to their best condition as soon as possible.

Behind our team, there were still the remnants of the heavy infantry regiment. When the leader of the infantry regiment counted the number of people, he found that there were less than 80 people left in the 200-man heavy infantry regiment, and three-quarters of the soldiers were injured to varying degrees. So after cleaning the battlefield and hastily burying the bodies of his companions, the leader of the infantry regiment came over to talk to us and expressed his gratitude.

Later, the leader learned that we were actually magicians from the Imperial Capital Royal Magic Academy, and these orc warriors were our followers. It was still very rare for nobles to have orc warriors as followers in the Green Empire, but Qi Ge and I were magicians of noble status, so nothing was impossible. The leader did not ask too many questions, such as: Why did you bring so many followers at once during the training?

I also learned from the self-introduction of the captain that they were not from the heavy infantry regiment of Durva Province, but the private guard of the young Earl Horace, the son of the second son of the Grand Duke of Samoyed, Marquis Armand, and Princess Nora Angelbold. Earl Horace had a territory west of Durva Province, and they came from there.

Qige and I looked at each other and said nothing, but Qige's eyes seemed to tell me that she knew some stories about Princess Nora Angelbold, as if they had a place among the many royal members of the Green Empire.

Because we were in a hurry to evacuate this area as soon as possible, time seemed very hasty, so we didn't talk too much.

Many soldiers had already run away during the first major rout. The captain of the infantry regiment integrated the number of people and asked to go with us. I agreed to his request.

Many of them died, and the remaining infantry soldiers were also injured and barely followed behind our team.

The soldiers of these heavy armored infantry regiments are not stupid. They know clearly that in this area full of spider warriors and giant spider guards, only by following us can they have a chance to survive.

The orc team walked around to the edge of the mountains on the east side of the Trum stronghold. There are hills everywhere here, which is very similar to the terrain of the Antia Mountains in the El City plane. However, there are also jungles here. The orc warriors are obviously more adapted to such hilly areas.

Takama told us: The giant spider guards in this area of ​​the forest are not densely arranged, and there are few spider warrior teams. We can choose to rest here for a night.

If the orc warriors were not exhausted, according to the information provided by the lizard maid Takama, I even wanted to take some orc warriors to secretly eat all the spider warrior teams in this area. The spider warrior teams here are actually five to eight people in a group. For us, it is not difficult to swallow these spider warrior teams.

"Let's take a rest first!" Kalancuo lifted the hood on her head and looked at the surrounding mountains and forests.

Then she continued to say to me: "We can hunt barbarians outside the city of El. In this hill, while the spiders have not reacted, we can quietly eat all the spider teams and let the spiders know that we are here!"

Her eyes were full of enthusiasm for war, but she could still maintain a sense at this moment. After all, these orcs had gone through a big battle and their physical strength was overdrawn very seriously. They needed to rest!

...

In the hills, we found a fault in the ground fissure zone. There was a large natural rock crack here, which had enough shelter from the wind and rain.

The orc warriors seemed to have gotten used to this hunting life. After arriving here, they did not sit down to rest. Everyone had a clear division of labor. Some orcs took off the cowhide on their backs, some orcs went to the forest to cut some thick branches, some orcs found some suitable stones to set up a stove, and some orcs were responsible for making fire and boiling water, preparing hot soup and baked wheat cakes.

They worked together to set up some raw cowhide tents, and dragged off the wet leather armor and put it next to the fire to bake. These wet leather armors were easy to get sick after wearing them for a long time, and after marching in the rainy night, they needed to roast the fire, drink a bowl of hot soup, fill their stomachs, and have a good sleep.

The orc warriors were used to using the magic scroll of "Fire Gathering".

When camping, the orc warriors would not pick up those thin branches and licorice, but mainly choose some of the most fire-resistant trees. After cutting them down directly, the firewood was chopped into very regular pieces, and then the magic scroll of "Fire Gathering" was placed in the stove and unfolded, waiting for the red flame to burst out, and then adding a lot of rough chopped wood to it, and the fire would soon rise.

The temperature of this flame is very high, and it will soon boil the water in the big iron pot. Then they will throw the meat floss cakes as big as bricks into the boiling water pot and boil them over high heat. Some people will add cans of lunch beef cans, and some orcs even bring some dehydrated vanilla crumbs. You don't have to wait too long, and a pot of fragrant broth will emit a rich aroma.

At this time, those baked wheat cakes as big as washbasins will be piled on the edge of the stove, and they can be heated by the residual heat of the edge of the stove.

Each of the orc warriors held a copper lunch box that looked like a large teacup. They took turns to get a portion of broth and a portion of wheat cake next to the big iron pot in an orderly manner. Then they sat next to the campfire, turning and roasting the wet leather armor, while silently chewing the wheat cake and drinking the broth. The heavy armored infantry soldiers beside them were a little dumbfounded.

When did the diet of these orcs become more particular than that of the regular army?

They could actually use magic scrolls to make fire and eat baked wheat cakes and broth made of fine wheat flour. The most important thing is that these broths are cooked with expensive meat floss and luncheon meat cans. This standard of food is the treatment that only the constructed knights in the Green Empire Army can have.

However, these orcs seemed to have gotten used to it!

...

The infantry regiment also camped in the cracks of the rocks not far from us and started to make fire and cook.

Their tents were made of coarse linen and felt. After being soaked by the rain, they were very heavy to carry on their backs. They chose to use half of the stone wall, tilted the branches on the stone wall, and then covered the branches with felt. In this way, the simple hut was built. The only drawback was that it was a bit damp.

The forest was full of trees, but these branches were soaked by the rain. Even if they could be ignited, a lot of thick smoke would come out, especially on such rainy days. A lot of thick smoke could not be dispersed, and the soldiers in the heavy armored infantry regiments coughed constantly. If Qi Ge hadn't cast a wind spell to blow away the thick smoke, I don't know how long these infantry regiments would have to toss.

When the soldiers of the infantry regiment had a hard time starting a fire, the orcs had already started eating.

The dry food they brought was a kind of multi-grain cake mixed with some vegetables, salt and chopped animal offal. This kind of marching dry food is said to be very popular in the Green Empire. This kind of multi-grain cake does not need to be heated and can be eaten at any time. It is very convenient to eat and can be stored for a very long time. The only disadvantage is that it is a bit hard.

However, as long as a pot of boiling water is boiled, the hard multi-grain cake is broken into pieces and put into a bowl, and hot water is poured on it, the multi-grain cake will immediately become very soft. As for whether it tastes delicious, it depends on whether the person eating the cake is hungry.

Obviously, this group of soldiers of the heavy armored infantry regiment are very hungry. Although before this, they envied the food of the orc warriors very much, when they started eating, they also devoured it and ate it very sweetly.

When the neatly cut pieces of magic antelope ribs were taken out of the magic box, they still had a trace of cool air.

Qi Ge has always had high requirements for food. Many foods that are not easy to preserve are put into the magic box. In Qi Ge's magic waist bag, those magic boxes can only hold two kinds of things, one is the rare magic herbs that need to be freshly preserved, and the other is fresh ingredients. She is unwilling to put the magic materials that exude magic power from those monsters into the magic box for preservation.

The butter in the pan was sizzling, and as it slowly melted, it exuded a sweet smell. Put the bone-in lamb ribs in the pan, and then fry each side golden to lock the moisture in the fresh meat, and then slowly roast it to medium rare.

This kind of magic antelope meat tastes tender, but there is actually not much special. The most important thing is whether the secret sauce is suitable for the taste. I put a portion of lamb ribs on a plate, sprinkled some sauce on it, and then put two onion rings and a piece of toast in it, and put it in front of Qi Ge.

Then, in the same way, he put three ribs, two grilled sausages, some onion rings and a pile of bread slices on a plate, placed it in front of the head of the heavy infantry regiment, Knight Disraeli, smiled at him and said, "You must be very hungry, please enjoy it slowly!"

"Thank you, two magicians, for the sumptuous dinner. If I can see Lord Count Horace again, I will tell the Lord Count everything you have done truthfully. It was you who saved our heavy infantry regiment in the battle in the valley just now. Please allow me to express my most respectful gratitude to you!" Knight Disraeli was obviously educated in traditional etiquette of the nobility. He sat on a wooden bench, straightened his body, and his face was full of gratitude.

Knight Disraeli had taken off his silver armor and was wearing a very soft sheepskin vest inside. His beard was meticulously groomed. Although he looked a little embarrassed, he was very polite.

I also put a piece of grilled lamb chops on the plate in front of me, then raised my head to signal Takama that he didn't need to wait on me and should eat quickly.

Then I asked Knight Disraeli, "Why are you and your heavy infantry regiment in Trum at this time? The Trum stronghold here has been surrounded by spider warriors!"

Hearing what I said, Captain Disraeli's face turned pale and a thin layer of sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.
