Knight with Wand

Outside Green Creek Village, the camp of the coalition forces of Thorn Flower and River Valley County.

Ever since he told the nobles of the Kingdom of Orland about the water attack strategy at the high-level meeting of Earl Elliver at the North Bank Camp, Leon soon returned to the day-to-day life of the front-line barracks. It has been more than ten days since then.

Ledwin III made a very quick decision. Just the day after the military meeting ended, the first batch of troops and civilians came to the upper reaches of the tributary, not far north of Green Creek Village, and began to dig canals and intercept the flow.

Leon couldn't help but admire him. He was worthy of being the usurper who won the civil war. No matter good or bad, he was a monarch who successfully changed the dynasty. Indecision was obviously not his character.

But this had nothing to do with him. Leon's duties were like the air force pilots in the army in his previous life. He patrolled the nearby airspace with the Pegasus Knights every day and drove away the enemy air knights who tried to approach for reconnaissance.

In the day-to-day pursuit, the battle in the sky almost never broke out. The five lion scorpions in the south were in a group and never left alone. Whenever Leon tried to get close, the enemy would flee far away.

As in most wars, fierce battles are always short-lived. Whether it is a general or a soldier, more time is spent in the barracks, marching, and waiting for opportunities.

After counting the results of the battle that day, Leon knew that the battle of Green Creek wiped out nearly a thousand Uriah cavalry, while his own casualties were less than 300, not counting various weapons and armor trophies, and more than 200 war horses were seized and still usable.

This was the first large-scale battle since the confrontation between the North and the South, and it was undoubtedly a hearty victory.

Although Earl Elliver seemed to have the advantage in military strength.

But war has never been fair. Winning is winning. Fighting with more and fewer and relying on the strong to bully the weak have always been the way to win.

Moreover, even if they were ahead in terms of military strength, it would be extremely difficult to achieve such a great victory as now. If the two armies were to fight each other in a normal and stable formation, they might be able to win. However, once the grassland cavalry sensed defeat and retreated, and then lost their mobility, the heavy armored knights of the northern Feru people would not be able to risk being disconnected from the infantry line and pursue deeply.

If they could not achieve such a beautiful result as now, and only won a small victory, it would not hit the morale of the Uriah people at all.

Only a great victory that made the grassland people feel really painful now can make the southern armies with their own ulterior motives consider the gains and losses of continuing the war.

Now, the 1,000 tribal cavalry who ran away will probably only stay in the rear in the future to do some tasks of garrisoning camps and escorting logistics.

If the southern army wants the other side to fight again, the tribal military leaders who have suffered such losses will definitely not be cannon fodder again.

This is almost equivalent to making a unit lose its actual combat power as a whole. Even if there is a hard battle, the other side will flee in order to preserve the strength of their own tribe and directly start running.

Without the leadership of the great Khan who once swept across the Western Continent, the nomads of the time, who were scattered and infighting, have long lost their former strength.

The impact of this battle may even affect other Uriah troops on the south bank.

Thinking this way, Leon felt that the enemy did not fight to the death that day, and there were fewer soldiers sacrificed on his side, which seemed to be a good result.

Of course, casualties are inevitable in war.

After receiving reports from his sergeants, Leon knew that more than a dozen people in the Knights' Corps he brought out also died, and his mood was heavy.

Unlike the Battle of Longka to defend his homeland, this time, he had to take the initiative to bring the soldiers out to participate in the political game between the big men of the two countries and participate in this war that actually had nothing to do with the soldiers.

Carrying their trust, he remembered every face of these people, their warm greetings, and their respectful eyes for him.

But now, no matter how to celebrate the victory, these dozen people have been seriously injured and died, turning into cold corpses.

Outside the camp, the carriages carrying the bodies of the fallen soldiers left deep ruts on the mud.

Leon watched the convoy go away, and promised in his heart to properly arrange their funeral affairs, take care of their families and relatives, and silently pray for the rest of these victims.

Unfortunately, unlike his previous life, in this life, he had already glimpsed the real afterlife through the Neti card. It was a realm that ordinary people could not describe rationally, and Leon only experienced the coldness from the soul.

After "going down", can you really get a good sleep?

At that time, Canis's soul was restless in the Dead Sea like a twisted evil spirit, and it didn't look very comfortable.

My consciousness was only projected in that area for a moment, and now I feel cold on my back when I recall it.

Sometimes knowing too much is really not as easy as knowing nothing.

Staying forever in the permafrost sea without darkness and light, without the concept of reality

Leon couldn't help but touch the card bag on his waist.

I am not strong enough, not to mention that I don't have enough Neti cards. Even if I have them, I am afraid that I can't call back the souls of ordinary people.

Not only ordinary soldiers like them who are unknown, but even a knight of military honor like Cannis who has extraordinary martial arts and the honor of killing generals and seizing flags on the battlefield of Mamor, it is so difficult to summon them, and the process can be called lucky.

And now, even if Azerien, Lohak, Olivia, and Corvis, these people who are close to me, once they encounter an accident, I am afraid that I can't use Neti cards to save them.

Wait

Thinking of the first two, Leon suddenly froze.

Alas? It seems that what Azerien and Lohak said is not necessarily true!

Goliard's poetry stories are widely sung. Although he is the protagonist, Azerien and Lohak also have a lot of roles in it. With the popularity and traces left by the two in the world, if something really happens, it may be much easier to save them than to summon the soul of Canis.

Considering that the two have more roles in the second poetry story, Leon was suddenly excited.

He found that he seemed to have found a shortcut to hang the Aphrodite card "death insurance" on his companions.

He made up his mind to try his best to find the dragon poet in the future and let him write more stories for the people around him. No, Leon changed his mind and thought that it might be possible not to find him. He could hire some other famous poets to blow up his companions around him, and the effect should be the same.

Leon realized that the reputation and glory of friends and family were not false names for him, but had real practical significance.

Reading the error-free version! 6=9+Shu_Bar released this novel for the first time.

But he calmed down again after touching the three Neti cards in his pocket.

No matter how good the idea is, it is only the prerequisite for Neti card magic.

I can't even make an extra black card now. I have to give each of my companions a final "insurance". There is still a long way to go.

There are signs of spiritual vein ore, permafrost, and molten gold, but the moon silver

Leon sighed. Even Princess Ines said that it was difficult to ask her father for it. How can I get it?

Or I can go to the capital as a robber in the future and sneak into the treasury of the alchemist's guild to make a fortune?

"——Lord Leon!!"

Hearing the whistle and shouting above his head, Leon's attention was drawn back to reality.

He looked up.

The armored warhorse flapped its wings, carrying the knight carrying a light lance and a revolving crossbow on its saddle, swooping down from the clouds.

Unlike the dragon knight, griffin knight, and manticore knight, the fighting power of the Pegasus knight depends entirely on the rider himself, so there are no mediocre riders on these Pegasus riders. They are all from the "Dusk Blood Guards" who are directly loyal to the king himself, and each of them is a knight of military honor with extraordinary martial arts.

Even such a veteran warrior lost his composure, obviously the enemy is coming fiercely.

Without delay, Leon immediately put on his winged helmet, blew the whistle, called the death claw who was resting not far away, and quickly climbed onto the high saddle.

Pulling the reins to control the giant beast into the air, Leon looked at the king's guard riding the Pegasus and hovering in the air at a distance and shouted: "Enemy attack?"

"In the airspace of the West Coast Forest, at least ten manticores are attacking from the south! We can't resist." The Dusk Blood Guard reported to the young baron of the Thorn Flower Family.

This is the most helpless situation for them. In fact, if they were fighting on the ground, twenty king's guards knights would be wearing armor and holding halberds, forming a formation to meet the enemy, and they would not be afraid of the attack of ten manticores at all.

But the battlefield in the sky dimension greatly limits the knights' abilities. Once their mounts die, no matter how good their martial arts are, they will still be killed if they fall from a height of nearly a thousand meters or even higher.

However, the knights cannot just lie on the ground and let the enemy monitor their army on the ground without hindrance.

In a war of this scale, the victory or defeat depends on the information gap between the two sides. It is the responsibility of the sky knights to ride Pegasus into the sky to intercept and fight in the blue sky.

It is just that the Dusk Blood Guards are fortunate that they not only have His Majesty's flying dragon, but also a griffin at this moment.
