Vol 2 Chapter 43: Mercenary

In five days, the magic array at the center of the Kossene Castle was completed, and it was inlaid with advanced crystal nuclei from the "gift" of the Earl of Watley, and trial operation began.
In ten minutes, the castle of Corsini and the surrounding area were shrouded in heavy fog, with a visibility of less than ten meters.
Satisfied with this, Murphy did not stop the depiction of the Magic Circle. After working continuously for five days and five nights, he carried a bag of dry food and began to depict on the compacted land outside the castle.
The margins increased, and the overlap expanded.
There are endless variety of magic arrays. How can overlapping magic arrays avoid each other? How to enlarge the scope of the magic circle? These problems must be achieved through the work that Murphys is doing now, but he has just received a report from the blood clan servants that he has not been busy for long.
The war between Byzantium and Caslandi is about to begin.
According to the news of the scout, a group of patrol cavalry appeared 50 kilometers away from Feileng, and had patrolled regularly for three days, which belonged to the Byzantine Empire, but the other party's patrol site also included Kaslan Dee's border section.
From the name of the reported knightly war flag, Murphy quickly understood the cavalry regiment to which this team belongs-it is not difficult to guess that there is only one Byzantine Knights coming to the front: the medical care led by the Duke of Windsor Knights.
In other words, Murphy's father, Duke Windsor, should be within fifty kilometers of him.
And a laugh at the banquet of Prince Longinus, the regimental commander, has now come true, but Murphy, who has gone through a series of transitions from the sacred Gabriel empire, is now hiding in the corner under the name of "empire enemy" At first, Murphy's sadness was diluted by the coming battle. Hearing the news, the young man seemed a little unhappy even if he had a strong mental capacity.
Hesitating again and again, he took his wand and dagger and ran across the border himself.
Riding on the Sphinx running in the dark without any sound, he followed the cavalry reconnaissance team patrolling the border at dusk to the headquarters of the Byzantine troops. Murphy watched the campfires in the night. Any action.
It just seems that someone has been waiting here for a long time.
"It's not wise to do this, but you are still here."
Familiar voice, familiar tone.
The attitude of the bystander, the attitude of the peerless.
Murphy turned back suddenly, and in the field of vision, Della stood ten meters behind her, and even Sphinx didn't even notice it-Sphinx, who could completely hide her body in the dark, did not attack this sudden appearance. For a strange woman, she dare not show even a bit of hostility. For an overlord-level Warcraft, the woman's breath is terrifying enough to make it tremble.
"tutor..."
Thousands of words, eventually turned into two words, Murphy saluted, raised his head, facing the face of the tutor who still had no expression, but settled down for no reason in his heart.
Helplessness, resentment, unwillingness, anxiety, and the accumulated negative emotions over the past few days disappeared in the blink of an eye if they were washed by a rainstorm.
"Originally, I still need at least two years to teach you, but now it seems that you have qualified."
Della's black robe looks exactly the same as she did when she was a student in Tarrens, quiet and nonsense.
"Are you leaving?"
Murphy was not surprised by any decision made by the mentor, but he still had a small regret in his heart-he regretted that he could not get more book lists and listen to more teachings.
Della still seemed to be able to see what he was thinking and replied softly: "Everything today is just the result of your countless choices. You choose to accept my teaching. You choose to sign a contract with Ashkandi in the Chamber of Secrets. , All of this cannot be avoided."
"And I, never came, never left."
The woman who was the first set of Tarot card chief magician gently took out a slightly stale notebook and said, "This is not my gift, but the last task I need to complete. It belongs to You only belong to you."
The black leather cover did not fluctuate with any elements, except that what he took out of Della's hand, Murphy would never be underestimated.
With both hands taken over, Della didn't have any extra movements, just nodded her head slightly, just turned around and disappeared into the darkness, without even bringing a trace of magical waves.
...
Murphy didn't do anything stupid going to the barracks alone.
The appearance and departure of mentor Della calmed his originally chaotic emotions. After so many things, he has become more realistic than the jungle hunter he used to be-in order to survive, he learned not to waste extra time to think.
Returning to Fort Corsini, Murphy opened the black notebook, but found that he could only turn the first few pages, and the content behind was completely sealed. He did not continue to study hard, but read it again and again. After only four pages of travel notes, he pondered for a long time, and then continued to portray the magic circle without any influence.
Less than two days later, the portrayal of Fort Kosenyi was completed, but he did not stop there. Instead, he ordered the main road of the blood tribe Feilengcui town to be blocked, and he continued to work alone.
...
The team of Count Vattle did not immediately rush to Feileng from the Fording Empire with the vengeance of anger.
Perhaps it was because the Earl realized that the war at the border was not suitable for his own private troops to be dispatched directly. To be honest, as a lord who was as strong as the private soldiers and the territorial area, Earl Watley said that he would calm down unless he had No one can stop other countries from interfering.
It feels like a strong male teacher is provoked by ants, saying that revenge, you can shoot dead with a slap, but because of the few elephants in front of the ants, there is no way to blatantly pass-because of any excess Will be considered by the Byzantine army as a signal of provocation and ready to attack.
So... at this moment, an ancient military institution played an important role.
Mercenary.
Killing with a knife is the easiest and most effective means. The Fording Empire is not only famous for heavy armoured cavalry, but also high-level mercenaries with a wide range of arms and strong strength. So along the hidden mountain road, an army with a simple mission is assembled. Afterwards, he started a secret advance towards Feilengcui.
Their mission has only two words: "Destroy".
This concealed army marched day and night. When they were traced by blood scouts, it was less than three days away from Feilengcui town.
And Murphy, who has portrayed the magic circle outside the town of Feileng Cui, has not slept normally for nearly twelve days. With the ability to sleep, he is still working efficiently. It seems that more than 700 people have come to the other side. The news of sweeping Feilengcui Town had no effect on him.
Connor has returned with a suitable thug, and everything is ready to go.
It's just that all this deployment seems to be broken by a sudden variable.
The road leading to the central part of the sacred Gabriel empire was deployed with three Holler clan scouts, but the three of them suddenly disappeared.
Murphy didn't think that this was defection or other behavior, the only and the most likely is that these three blood races belonging to the dark order were killed by someone.
The scout sent to investigate once again damaged one, and Murphy no longer sent his few hands to die, killing the scout with agile action, the other party must be bad, but in this way, Murphy only Can temporarily change his combat plan.
Finally, on a seemingly warm and sunny afternoon, three kilometers outside the town of Feilengcui, mercenaries from the Fording Empire were ready for battle.
The military capacity is neat, not by any means.
More than two hundred and fifty infantrymen, one hundred heavily armored knights, a logistics convoy and engineers, and more than two hundred strong soldiers.
Elemental magicians, high-level magicians, alchemists, puppet masters, all kinds of unexpected occupations and characters, are vast and imposing.
The leader looked up at the clear sky above him. A chain of armor was hidden under the brown-grey cloak. His expression was cold and he waved gently. He gave the only direct command to the adjutant.
"attack."
.................................................. .......................................
The thugs brought by Connor did not disappoint the long-awaited Murphys.
After a trip to Kaslandi, he was not interested in finding the group of Kaslandi cavalry who claimed to be the best in the world. After all, those guys were basically executed cleanly, and they wanted to find out if they could bypass Byzantium blatantly. Line of defense.
Holding the list that Murphy listed sometime, Connor took the "friendship" of the owner of Fei Leng Cui to find the "nest" that exists in every country in Caslandi.
"Lens", this is a general term for dark creature strongholds and information exchange, similar to the existence of mercenary unions, but more loose and lack of order~EbookFREE.me~ crystal nuclei, magic props, these are not necessary to change Things that can only be circulated into gold coins can be the objects of transactions for the creatures in the "nest", and it is their life to be traded.
Life is sometimes so cheap.
A group of dark creatures that have been tossed around by religious ruling bodies in various countries and eventually have to gather here are willing to sell their lives for anything. As long as the price is enough, it is not difficult to kneel and lick boots.
Twenty-seven werewolves, thirty-four Burgess dogs from Caslandi, fifteen "farmers" carrying thousands of vampire bats-this is for no family willing to take care of it and can only rely on feeding blood The name of the tribe of bats, and there are three violent kakus in a cage.
If it weren’t for Ashkandi to list and explain its characteristics, Murphy estimated that there was no way to allow Connor to bring so many suitable thugs with limited gold coins.
And these dark creatures with some daredevil breath came to Fort Corsene and saw the young man holding the scepter of Sulfuras, one by one without any unnecessary nonsense.
Worship.
This is the only attitude of these lowly creatures to the scepter of Sulfuras. For the werewolves and "farmers" who retain human reason, it is simply coercion, and the calf-sized Burgess are burning with eyes For the dog and the blood spider Kakus, who is larger than the carriage, Murphy is their god.
Absolute control brings absolute command efficiency. When the mercenaries from Fording began their first attack in the distance, this group of dark creatures did not swarm, but was completely hidden by Murphys.
There were only three people standing in front of Feilengcui Town.
Murphys, Compton, Connor.
