My Magic Age

The sky in Trum became darker little by little, and the soldiers began to silently clean up the ruins of the battlefield. They dug out corpses one after another from the rubble and collapsed walls, and threw them into a large pit that kept burning. among.

The fire burned fiercely, and the corpses slowly turned into ashes in the fire. The price of victory was so heavy that it made people breathless.

There was no expression of joy on the faces of the soldiers in the Trum stronghold. Everything happened too fast, including the defeat and the sudden reversal of victory.

Just in the morning, there were nearly 4,000 soldiers in this stronghold. Every soldier was full of confidence and deeply believed that Earl Horace would lead everyone to win the final victory. However, Earl Horace refused to fight. After escaping, the stronghold was broken down by the Spider Overseer, and then the Spider Warriors entered the stronghold. All of this was really too fast, so fast that no one had time to think about what to do next, fight or flee? Then, the battle ended with the earth shaking and the mountains shaking.

Many people died, but the surviving Trum guards were all survivors. This kind of victory would not make people feel any joy.

A warrior was lying at the foot of the wall and asked the orc warrior who was bandaging his wounds: "Is this the victory?"

Many wounded warriors were like him, sitting on the edge of the north city wall. The wounded were lined up in a long row, and the wounded were constantly being carried over. There were also some seriously injured warriors who were leaning against the wall in pain. After they died, the dozen orc warriors transformed into a treatment team. Taking the hemostatic bandages from their backpacks, they began to treat the injured warriors one by one.

Crouching opposite this warrior was the orc warrior Kentoa. He grinned, and a sunny smile appeared on his rough and ugly face. When he grinned, he revealed the sharp canine teeth at the corners of his mouth and spoke to the injured in Imperial language. The soldier said: "Yes, you should be optimistic. After all, you survived this battle. You are lucky!"

The soldier looked a little pale due to excessive blood loss. A long gash was opened on his chest by sharp spider legs, and his skin and flesh rolled outwards. It looked very scary, but his injuries were not serious. He coughed up a mouthful of blood foam, and then asked the orc warrior in a low voice: "I heard they said it was those magicians who saved us. They used fire magic to burn all the spider warriors to death. To be honest, Yes, I have never seen such a powerful magic. Are you the magician’s followers?”

"To be more precise, we should be followers. We are not qualified to be Lord Jijia's retinue." Kentoya said while wiping the wound on the warrior's chest with a cotton cloth soaked in a small amount of golden cider. "Just endure the pain. This thing is said to prevent wound infection."

The soldier screamed in pain. Kentoya held him down with a strong hand to prevent his wound from tearing again. After the soldier calmed down, his nose and tears were all flowing out. Kentoya Ya took out a steel needle from the first aid kit. There was a piece of white thread behind the steel needle. He quickly sewed up the wound on the soldier's chest very skillfully.

"Look, my needlework is pretty good! I know several different sewing techniques, including ladder type, figure eight shape, and wheat ear shape. You can choose one according to your preference. If there are no special requirements, then we can Let’s take the most common one, which is the most convenient when removing stitches! But one thing to keep in mind is that when your wound heals, don’t forget to remove the sutures.” Kentoya smiled and said to the soldier. After sewing up the wound, he tied a knot at the end and cut it with scissors. Short cotton thread, and then tightly wrapped the hemostatic bandage around the soldier's chest several times.

Kentoya wiped his hands with a piece of blood-stained cotton cloth, and said with a proud look on his face: "Okay, lie down peacefully, and don't forget to eat as much as possible and drink more water before going to bed. ”

The warrior was sweating profusely and showed a look of envy as he left Kentoa, and then murmured to himself: "It feels like being on the edge of death and coming back to life again."

I was standing on the north wall and happened to see this scene.

Looking at the optimistic attitude of the young orc warrior Kentoa, I feel that this group of young orcs are growing up rapidly.

Kalancso, who was beside him, held the city wall with both hands, leaned out, and shouted to the bottom of the city wall: "There are still many injured people, Kentoya, save the bandages!"

"I follow your instructions!" Kentoya grinned at Kalancso on the city wall and ran away quickly.

…

The tenacious and unyielding Trum defenders started street battles with the spider warriors. Senior generals in the stronghold continued to die in battle, and finally ushered in a large-scale defeat of the guards in the Trum stronghold.

The soldiers guarding Trum Stronghold died, ran away, and were buried in the ruins. There are now less than a thousand survivors left.

Among them, half are the remnants of the 1st and 3rd Battalions guarding the northern city wall, and some are civilian personnel and warehouse garrison soldiers from the Munitions Department. The last part are those who escaped from the southern front and the east and west walls. The remaining soldiers ran to the north wall and found that the soldiers here were still fighting tenaciously, so they rejoined the battle and finally survived.

The commander of the first battalion died in battle during the first attack by the spider warriors on the cliff.

These senior generals are often the core of a team, and they are the primary targets of spider warriors on the battlefield.

Now the top officers of the remaining troops in the Trum stronghold are only the scarred commander of the third battalion, Melville, and the quartermaster, Felix. Fortunately, Felix is ​​here, an old quartermaster who is over fifty years old. With rich experience in post-war resettlement, he ordered people to move a large amount of supplies from the warehouse, including tents, food, herbs, etc.

The surviving soldiers were stationed beside the northern wall of Trum, with white tents connected together.

There are still little fires burning in the ruins of the stronghold, with faint green smoke floating in the air. Those flames that are burning like stars are like fire elves dancing in the wind.

…

Knight Disraeli sat alone on the high wall, his mail reflecting the light of fish scales in the afterglow of the evening. He had sold a lot more than before, looking lonely at the northern slope of Mount Trum. I know him. What was he thinking in his mind? He risked his life to bring several teams of the heavy armored infantry regiment out of the mountains, and rushed to the Trum stronghold at starry night just to rescue Earl Horace.

In the past few days, Earl Horace was unwilling to listen to Knight Disraeli saying anything about evacuating Trum.

Earl Horace beat his chest loudly, and he asked Knight Disraeli rudely on the spot: "How can a noble knight have such selfish motives? I, Horace, must swear to live and die with Trum." !”

Just as the spider-man warlord got into a charging stance, Count Horace, who was swearing and speaking beautiful words, ran away with his tail between his legs.

Knight Disraeli sat casually on the city wall with his legs hanging outside the wall. He looked very unwilling and complained to me: "Jiga, do you know?"

He cast a forlorn gaze in the distance and said casually: "At that time, when Horace ran back with his bodyguards in a mess, I not only didn't complain at all, but also ordered my soldiers to help him open a passage with all their might. Let Count Horace pass through the north city gate smoothly, he is a count! It was my responsibility to protect him, but I never expected that he would abandon our entire heavy armored infantry regiment so decisively."

I have no words of comfort to say, and I feel that the Disraeli Knight just needs a quiet listener at this time.

Continue to listen to his complaint: "He didn't say a word, and he didn't tell us what to do. We infantry soldiers rushed to protect him at the risk of death, but in the end he was left on the battlefield. He probably couldn't remember it. The oath we made when we established the heavy armored infantry regiment."

Lord Horace abandoned the entire regiment of warriors in the city of Trum, which completely chilled the Disraeli Knights.

"Perhaps the earl was so frightened that he was on the run and didn't bother to tell you before leaving!" Although I don't like Horace very much, I can't say it too deeply. A word of enlightenment for the Disraeli Knight.

Knight Disraeli hummed, obviously disagreeing with my statement. After a while, he sighed and said, "Only in times of crisis will a person's true nature be revealed."

He touched the Western thin sword at his waist, as if only the thin sword at his waist could truly understand him.

Knight Disraeli added casually: "Perhaps, in his eyes, we soldiers in the heavy armored infantry regiment are not even comparable to a four-legged war horse. At least he should say something, right? ?”

I asked Disraeli, "What are your plans next?"

Knight Disraeli rubbed his face and said decisively: "I want to take the soldiers of the infantry regiment to Tanton City to find Marquis Armand."

"Tandun City!" Qige said lightly.

Qige and I looked at each other, and then I said to Knight Disraeli: "Before I came to Trum, when I passed Tanton City, it was also heavily surrounded by Niburu spider-men. I don't know. How are things going now?"

Tandon City will be the only way for us to return to Pereira City. If we want to avoid it, we must take a detour that is not too far.

Things at Trum stronghold have come to an end. Unfortunately, we did not rescue many soldiers of the 7th Battalion. When the city was breached, the 7th Battalion supported the southern city wall, and then...actually there was no more. Like the soldiers of the fifth battalion, they were like foam rolled up by countless waves. They appeared when the waves hit the foundation stone, and were turned into nothingness by the gentle blow of the sea breeze, deceiving Katrina's tears.

Maybe in the future we can erect a tall monument in the cemetery next to the new site of Trum stronghold, and the epitaph on it will read: Countless brave warriors of the Green Empire rest here!

Perhaps the remains of the two Spider Overlords, which are more than ten meters high, should be properly preserved. After the new Trum stronghold is rebuilt, the two remains of the Spider Overseers should be erected at the gate of Trum. On both sides, they will record some of the great achievements in Trum's history.

…

Walking down the city wall, I happened to bump into Felix who was about to climb onto the city wall. It looked like he had come specifically to see me.

He strode over, his voice was a bit like the copper bell on the bell tower, and his voice was very loud and said: "Magic Jijia, I just want to talk to you..."

"Master Felix, what do you want from me?" I stopped and looked at him and asked.

"This is not a place for talking. If it is convenient for you, I would like to take you to a place!" Felix said to me sincerely.

I looked at Qi Ge and saw that she was a little curious about Felix. She wanted to know what the quartermaster wanted to say, so I gladly accepted his invitation and said softly, "Of course, please go first!"

Felix brought two followers and led us directly to the warehouse door under the cliff next to the north wall. When the warehouse guards saw Felix coming, they saluted. Felix waved his hand casually. It can be seen that he has the final say in the quartermaster office. No one dared to resist his order.

After seeing Felix's gesture, the warehouse guard hurriedly trotted and opened the door of the warehouse. There were still a few traces of burnt paint on the door, but this heavy door was very strong and very far away from the explosion point, so only the gray paint on the door was burned.

I know that the space in this warehouse is very large. On the eve of the explosion, Catalina was asked by me to let Felix take all the remaining troops to hide. Nearly 1,500 people hid in this warehouse, which shows that this warehouse is very large.

Walking in the warehouse excavated from the rock cave, the crisp footsteps echoed between the cave walls.

After passing through the area where hundreds of bed crossbows were parked, I realized that the Trum stronghold was definitely not a simple defensive fortification. It should be regarded as a storage area for military supplies. The giant arrow shaft stacks that were originally connected outside the stronghold were just the tip of the iceberg. In the warehouse on the cliff, there were actually a large number of bed crossbows, boxes of sharp steel bed crossbow arrows.

Walking into the warehouse constantly, I had an illusion that the entire Trum Mountain seemed to be hollowed out.

The attendants next to me lit up the oil pans on the wall of the warehouse cave one by one, and the dim warehouse suddenly became bright.

Walking inside, you can see all kinds of supplies stored in the warehouse, such as iron, hemp, raw rubber, cotton cloth, etc.

Leaning against the inner side of the cave wall, I actually found a mountain of food.

Then I heard the quartermaster Felix say to me: "There is no large supply warehouse in Tanton City. The Trum Stronghold is the largest supply warehouse in the vicinity of Tanton City because this natural cave is cool and dry, suitable for storing a lot of supplies. Later, the Duke decided to build a line of defense, and the Trum Stronghold was built at that time."

He said as he walked: "There is an ironwood forest in the valley not far to the east of the Trum Stronghold. It is for this reason that the Grand Duke of Samoyed implemented some tax exemption measures, which attracted a large number of skilled craftsmen to Trum to specialize in making crossbows..."
