Not a Witch

She didn't care about the so-called red building sword fighting and competing for the title of No. [-] in the world. Instead, she thought about the few people she knew in the academy in the past, and maybe a few of them were in Luojing, and she could take a look at them then.

"Junior Sister Luolan is enjoying the night here?" The banquet gradually ended, and Gu Lie walked slowly, smelling of alcohol, holding a wine glass with amber in it.

"Well, Senior Brother Gu Lie hasn't finished his drink yet." The girl turned her head, Yinxue's hair slipped over her collar, and she replied softly.

Looking at the quiet girl in front of him, Gu Lie felt a little more awake.He brought a wooden chair in one hand, sat opposite Lorraine Hill, and watched the night outside the restaurant.

"It's a beautiful night."

"Speaking of which, I haven't been back for several years, and this time I'm going back for the sake of my junior sister." He leaned back in the wooden chair, put the wine glass on the fence, and said slowly.

"Has Junior Sister Luo Lan been to Luojing?" After a while of silence, Gu Lie asked again.

"Not yet, I heard it's very prosperous there." Lorraine Hill looked down at the big cat in his arms, and stroked the fur on the back of its head with his hands. The cat squinted its eyes and let out a comfortable cry.

meow~

"This time our faction will also participate in the grand meeting of the Chilou Sword Fighting, and it is estimated that I will lead the team." Gu Lie talked about the recent arrangements in the faction.

"Junior Sister Luo Lan happened to go together. If there are disciples from the faction to cooperate, the royal family in Luo Jing must not dare to bully you."

"The royal family of the dynasty, is the reputation not good now?" Lorraine Hill touched the big cat's head, then put it back on the ground, watched it straighten up, and then ran away lightly.

"It's hard to describe." Gu Lie picked up his glass again and took a sip.

"Just like there are good people and bad people in the world, not all descendants of the royal family are excellent. Some of them are used to being pampered, and it is inevitable that they will become arrogant."

"Junior Sister Luo Lan may not know that there are many descendants of the emperor today. There are more than 100 emperors, daughters and sons in total. There are also several kings of the same generation as the emperor, and there are even more descendants. The royal family is a very large family. group."

"In order to limit and avoid some bad influences, not every descendant of the emperor will be named. Most of them are just ordinary emperors and daughters, and only a few will be named princesses or kings."

"So..." Lorraine Hill looked at the senior curiously.

"So some people may make it difficult for you because of jealousy." Gu Lie said his guess, he has a lot of friends, so he naturally knows the style of those clans.

"You don't have to think too highly of those royal families, there are quite a lot of idiots among them, ha ha." He laughed, as if he had taught such people a lesson before.

"Senior Sister Jinhua is afraid that you will go to Luojing alone, you will not be familiar with the place, and you will encounter unhappy things, so this time you have given me a good account."

"Because you have a quiet temperament and don't want to talk too much. Of course, this is not a bad thing, but in those aristocratic circles who are usually idle and have fun, they will think that such a person has no ability, so they think you are easy to bully."

"Then what's the benefit of bullying me?" Lorraine Hill's pupils swayed like water under the reflection of the lantern beside him.

"Of course it's their bragging rights. These people don't have any abilities themselves, they can only show their sense of existence by stepping on others. Otherwise, how would you let them, noble children, deal with themselves? They are born noble, but their abilities are not as good as those of the poor. The students of the lower school palace, and their extraordinary strength is not as good as our disciples who come to the door, so they can only find other ways, or play with birds and insects, or compose poems, or find fun in the streets."

"The dynasty has prospered for thousands of years, and its royal family has also expanded countless times, and now it has a tendency to be too big to lose."

Gu Lie stood up, drank the wine in the glass, put it down, and watched the breeze blowing the night outside the window.

"So up to the present day, there are very few emperors who have more than a hundred descendants, but the only ones who are really granted the title are King Dai, King Huainan, King Xuesong, and Princess Qingbo."

"Before that, only King Dai had his own kingdom, and was considered the candidate for the crown prince, and all the officials followed him. Until now, King Huainan was granted the kingdom, so he protested with King Dai."

"Perhaps this is also the emperor's mind. I don't want to be independent. I hope that the two will compete and observe the pros and cons at the same time."

"Loran, when you go to Luojing, you'd better be careful not to be involved in the struggle between the two parties."

"And as long as our Xiangyu faction doesn't end, they won't dare to arbitrarily expand the flames of war and burn it on you."

"After all, thousands of years ago, Chifeng made a covenant with all the immortals in the world. All the factions respect the dynasty, and each fulfills its own responsibility to suppress the world's vortex seal, and the dynasty should not interfere too much in the private affairs of the faction."

"Thank you, brother, for reminding me." Lorraine Hill blinked and nodded in agreement.

Later, by the fence of the restaurant, the two chatted about some trivial matters in the school, and Gu Lie also talked about the scene when he entered the Xiangyu School to study when he was a child.

"Speaking of which, Senior Sister Jinhua at that time was just like you. She liked to stay indoors and didn't want to come out to play. No wonder she liked and took care of you so much."

As he spoke, Gu Lie's laughter echoed in the night of the mountain stream, startling a wave of birds and dissipating in the woods.

Chapter 110 Seventh Silver Steel Cavalry Army

At the end of July, a team set off from the Xiangyu faction on a huge floating boat and headed north to Luojing.

"Wow, what a spacious place."

Yu Tingyu looked around his new bedroom excitedly, and touched around curiously.On the floating boat, each disciple was assigned a bedroom, and Yu Tingyu lived in a room with Lorraine Hill.

Lorraine Hill on the side looked up at the ceiling of about three meters, and the painted wooden furniture around it. He felt that the floating giant boats in the east were not much different from those in the west, but they were bigger in shape.

The huge floating boat they are riding on now is said to have been custom-made by Yanxingmen a few years ago. It can accommodate nearly a thousand people, and there are rich storage warehouses inside, which can carry a lot of things.

The shape of the giant floating boat is similar to that of a sperm whale, with an oval belly underneath and several pavilions standing above it, like a bridge.

During the period, Lorraine Hill also curiously asked Brother Gu Lie why the floating boats in the east are much larger than the airships in the west.Gu Lie explained that this is because there are more monster resources in the East.

The skeletons of some giant monsters or sea beasts are used as the keel, and with the corresponding inscription patterns, it can carry more and be larger at the same time.In addition, there are some tall ancient trees in many blessed places in the east, which can be used to build ships, and their quality is better, so their performance is also better.

Western airships are not big enough, not because of lack of technology, but because of lack of corresponding materials. On the contrary, in the country of Oz thousands of years ago, the country spent all its efforts to build sky warships, and no one has surpassed it so far.

After finishing the questioning, Lorraine Hill unconsciously thought of several former roommates.

------

Two years ago, the Western Continent, the Apocalypse Fortress.

The golden field is full of withered grass roots and soil, the autumn sun shines on the ground, and the smell of dry leaves drifts into the distance with the wind.

boom.

An ankle wearing iron armor stepped across the ground, stomping the straw on the ground into the broken soil and compacting it, then lifted it up, revealing obvious footprints.

One after another, fully armed warriors marched on the land. They wore various styles of armor and smocks with noble coats of arms. They carried halberds and crossbows on their shoulders. They marched towards the west side of this golden field. .

The army of the Canghong Empire crossed the border established with the Snow Flower Seven Kingdoms step by step, and then came to the Apocalypse Fortress and began to station.

Nearly 20 troops began to build camps and dug ditches to prepare for long-term battles. Every evening, the bonfires used for cooking were connected together, almost illuminating half of the sky.

On the Apocalypse Fortress, several Crancia generals and officers watched the scene with binoculars, discussing and discussing.

"According to the report of the intelligence personnel, this is probably only their vanguard. After the camp is built, the follow-up siege artillery will gradually enter the field. Afterwards, when Cang Cui and others are ready, there will be about 200 million troops gathered at the border .”

"Moreover, this is only their first mobilization. If the situation is better and the nobles in Cangcui country let go of their guard and worries, there will be more elite private troops entering the arena, and the forest elves may also participate. "A military officer said worriedly.

"If estimated according to the recruitment ratio of the 'Battle of the Broken Bow' hundreds of years ago, the final army that Cang Cui can recruit is between 400 and 600 million. In the last war, they recruited more than 300 million. Now the population is almost the same as that of that year. times as many, so there are more soldiers available.”

"It's really scary. It is indeed the most powerful empire in the Western Continent." An elderly general sighed.

"How does the country respond now?"

"His Excellency Pullman, the leader of the stars, has issued a summoning order to the country and all allies."

"The major legions stationed in Clancia will come over, many of them have experienced the war with the Frost Alliance, and there are about 150 million of these legions. After that, the three autonomous provinces of Black Rock will send 10 infantry to the south, and the orcs will mobilize 30 For the support of legion soldiers, 30 troops will be mobilized in the six provinces of Verga, and Falcon will also mobilize another 10 cavalry for support, plus the 30 troops originally stationed in the fortress, and finally 260 million troops can be gathered." The officer reported the current intelligence.

"260 million is really an auspicious number, just like the 'Battle of the Broken Bow' that year." A certain officer smiled.

"It's just that we have to face twice as many enemies this time as we did back then." Someone said worriedly.

"Yes, the number of enemies is twice as many, but we are also stronger than the former Snow Flower Seven Kingdoms, and more than twice as powerful. We must believe that victory is inevitable, but we must also be more cautious in tactics."

"Isn't that what the sage said back then, despise the enemy strategically, and value the enemy tactically." The general patted the young officer beside him.

The officer took a deep breath and relieved his nervousness.

"Yes, Lord Sage is right, we have come step by step in this way, and we will continue to do so in the future."

"Blow the horn. Before the other party's camp is stable, give them a disarm and let them see our heroic fighters." The veteran pushed down the brim of his hat and raised his rough palm.

"Yes, General Sager!"

There were bursts of whimpering horns, and then the gate of the fortress opened, and cavalry soldiers in full gear filed out.

They wore extremely neat full-coverage armor, and even the horses were covered with white and gold cloaks. The long lances were held in the palm of their hands and stretched straight to the sky like sharp swords. The triangular flag under the tip of the lance was fluttering in the wind.

These are members of the Klanthian National Knights. All of them are well-trained, and the strength of the full-fledged members is above Sequence 3. They are also the backbone of the Klanthian army today, performing various tasks of the country.

The horseshoes stepped on the dry soil, and there were still scattered wheat stalks and grass roots in the harvested wheat fields. As the cavalry gradually accelerated, they were lifted up, raising waves of dust.

The earth was beaten like a drumhead, the initial sound was slow, and then the sound gradually became louder, and it became more and more dense and rapid, which made people tremble with fear.

The Canghong Empire army stood behind the temporary barrier, set up their spears and pointed them at the sky ahead, and the recruited soldiers nervously faced the enemy.

Although they had never fought against the Snow Flower Seven Kingdoms, they had heard of the name of the West Wind Cavalry in the past. Now that Clancia has fully accepted the territory of the West Wind, it is also expected by many people to use the cavalry to attack.

Looking at the steel fence spreading over the horizon, the commander accompanying the army raised his broadsword high and then swung it down heavily.

"put!"

shhhhh--

Dense crossbow bolts shot out from behind, like black rain, covering the sky for a short while, and then shot down.

bang bang

The powerful enchanted crossbow directly sank into the shield, bringing up bloody flowers, a muffled sound came from the steel armor, and then some cavalry or horses were shot down.

"Resonant array!" Crancia's cavalry commander rushed to the front and shouted loudly.

Platinum patterns lit up on the armor, and then the core of the war sequence began to run at high speed, and countless magical powers spread in all directions, like a sophisticated and complicated circuit network, connecting rows of cavalry with each other, and then a thin Golden light covered the armor.

The rain of arrows continued, and the enchanted crossbow arrows came through the air, hit the shield held high, and sparked out bursts of sparks, leaving sharp scratches, then bounced to the ground, and were trampled off by the heavy iron hooves of the cavalry.

"Tsk." Looking at the scene in front of him, the commander of the Crimson Empire gritted his teeth and spat, and then waved his hands urgently to let the thorn mages behind prepare.

Back then, Cang Cui suffered a lot from Xifeng's iron cavalry, so naturally she did not study how to deal with it.The Juma that was originally set up in front of the camp was suddenly entwined with thick thorns and vines.These vines are surrounded by blackened long spikes, which tightly connect the horses, and the roots below are also deeply embedded in the soil, strengthening the facilities to stop the cavalry.

Then one after another steel chariots hidden behind the army formation were also slowly rolled out. These chariots had sharp horns like Triceratops in front of them. After putting down the wheels behind them and lining them up together, they formed a solid steel fortress. At the same time, one by one The 5-meter-long dragon gun is also set up from the rear of the vehicle body to kill those enemies who dare to charge.

In the face of such a solid front, generally speaking, frontal impact is not a good choice, and side attack is the best.It's just that about 20 troops of the Canghong Empire are lined up horizontally. If they want to reach the rear, they have to go around an extremely long detour.At the same time, the side and rear may not be defenseless, so it is not as good as a swift and direct impact.

Times never stop progressing.

If at this moment Cang Cui was facing the cavalry army of the old West Wind, perhaps this defense would still be effective, but these cavalrymen with lances had once smashed and smashed the golem walls of the Frost Alliance. Resisting would be a little contemptuous of others.

The white cloak and horsehair undulate rapidly in the wind, forming a billowing white ocean. The silver steel helmet has long been pulled down, and all that can be seen in the field of vision is the enemy line in front revealed through the gap. The lances are put down immediately, reflecting in the sun Out of dense star light.

As the magic power of the war sequence was poured into the inscription pattern of the lance, the entwined golden lines spread and bloomed, and a colorless flame burned from the tip of the lance, turning it into a hot iron.

"Scorching sun impact!"

The commander in the front row shouted loudly, and then a conical vortex composed of platinum flames shot out, directly burning the thorns that blocked the horse, turning them into ashes, and then the thick cavalry spears directly hit there. On the steel chariot, molten gold pierced the iron, setting off countless debris and blood. The soldiers defending behind wailed and wailed loudly, and some ran out in panic, covered with half-cooled metal debris rolling on the ground.

Throwing down the shattered lances, these white-helmed knights pulled out the long swords around their waists, and then continued to attack, constantly beheading the resisting and running enemy troops.

For a while, the war horse neighed, and the sound of weapons clashing was everywhere. Thanks to Crancia's technological improvement, and the capture of a large number of Luerna's alchemists, the weapons and armor they use now are all enchanted. The good products of the Canghong Empire are far from comparable to the recruited soldiers of the Canghong Empire.

The long sword that swung down from time to time had a straight hilt, like a cross, and behind the handshake was a spherical weight ball, engraved with a star pattern surrounded by wheat ears, symbolizing the national emblem of Clancia.
