The Malaga Mine, located on the edge of the Witch's Forest, not too far from the Dark Forest Settlement, is a silver mine with a lot of production.

When Richard arrived, he found that there was indeed an elite army waiting for him, as Eva had said.

The entire army consisted of more than 1,000 men, all of them light cavalry, one man and two horses, fast and well-trained. When I got closer, I could clearly feel the murderous aura in each soldier, who had obviously been tempered by many wars and was the elite of the elite. This made him can't help but think of the royal guard legion that he encountered in the Black Sacred Mountain Kingdom to protect Princess Ruth.

Richard asked a few questions, and soon learned the origin of the other party.

According to the leader of the other party, they belong to the Northern Legion of the Bloodlight Kingdom, and they are the famous First Glory Cavalry Regiment in the Northern Legion. Known for his bravery in battle, he has fought many battles with neighboring countries to defend the kingdom, and has achieved great results.

A few months ago, in order to win in a major battle, they raided the enemy's Chinese camp, and although they achieved the effect of decapitation, they themselves suffered a lot of damage. So he was mobilized to the mines of Malaga to rest, usually fighting birds, fighting thieves or something, seeing the arrival of winter, I thought that there were at least a few more boring days to survive, and suddenly I received an order from my boss not long ago. The boss ordered them to wait here for a few wizards, and then follow the wizards into battle, and finally waited for Richard.

After hearing this, Richard nodded lightly and looked at the leader of the group.

The other party was a man in his thirties, named Udon, with an angular face that looked like a knife and axe, and a tough and ferocious gaze.

Richard asked aloud, "Commander Udon, do you know what this departure is for?"

"I heard that it was going to attack some countries in the east. Udon grinned, with a bit of fierceness in his eyes, "It seems that the Horsk Kingdom and the Golden Triangle Duchy are very rich." Anyway, I've been looking bad for a long time, and this time I have a chance, hum, I want them to look good. ”

Richard's eyes flashed: "I'm not mistaken, these countries are all vassals of the Deep Blue Keep, right? You should know that they are all protected by wizards, so you have the confidence to deal with the wizards who protect you?"

"This ......," Udon laughed, looking a little embarrassed, "Lord Wizard, you're kidding, although my people are powerful, they are just dealing with ordinary people. If we really meet a wizard, a spell from the other party will make us lose a lot.

Therefore, the wizard is not something we can deal with at all, and the only one who can deal with the wizard is another wizard, that is, you, the adults.

In fact, not to mention encountering wizards, even if we encounter any well-defended cities, we can't do anything about it. After all, we are all cavalry, we don't have any siege weapons, and we can't gnaw at all. Therefore, such a difficult thing as a siege or something also needs the help of wizards, and we can only play a role after the adults succeed. Actually, we're just doing the chores that wizards don't want to do. ”

"That's it. Richard nodded, understood, understood how the current world, with the participation of wizards, was going on.

According to common sense, wizards have powerful extraordinary powers, and even the weakest first-level low-level wizard can inflict a lot of losses on an elite army, so there is no place for ordinary armies on the battlefield.

Not really.

Although wizards are powerful, they also have their own flaws, that is, they are too few in number, and they are not able to control the entire war zone.

War is very troublesome, and if you destroy the enemy's army and destroy the enemy's city, you will be considered victorious.

There is no real victory until there is a substantial total occupation, until the occupied area is stabilized, until a steady stream of resources is obtained, and until the effort is converted into sufficient benefits.

In war, wizards are like the air force and navy on modern earth, with many long-range strategic weapons, responsible for destroying the enemy's airfields, ports, power plants, radar stations and other core buildings, destroying the enemy's ability to use strategic weapons, paralyzing the enemy's command, and making the enemy completely lose the ability to resist.

The army of ordinary people is like the army of the modern earth, mainly responsible for occupation, stability maintenance, and subsequent law and order rule.

In a war, if only the wizards representing the air force and navy are involved, it will at most blow up the enemy's territory to a scorched earth. And if only the ordinary army representing the army participates, it will be difficult to attack, stalemate, and be eliminated by the opposing wizards.

Therefore, the wizard and the army of ordinary people must cooperate with each other in order to play their best.

After thinking about this, Richard's eyes blinked. He doesn't have much interest in the current war in the world with wizards involved, although he has a lot of tactics in his mind to try, but he thinks more about it: with the participation of Udon's team, plus Teddy's four first-level wizards, it should be easier to dig up the village of Artis when the time comes.

After all, this can squeeze more labor.

So what are you waiting for?

Turning his head and looking at Udon, Richard said without nonsense: "Let's go." ”

"Yes. Udon nodded, didn't say anything, waved his hand, led the team to follow Richard and left.

......

Baron Lancaster's Castle.

From early in the morning, Baron Lancaster was in a good mood.

The reason for this is because the wizard who has occupied the castle for many days is finally leaving. The wizards had officially informed him that today was the last day, and even if it was snowing heavily, they would leave the castle and go to the east to participate in some war.

Baron Lancaster was not at all interested in what kind of war it was, he only wanted to send the wizards away as soon as possible, so that he could return to a life of hard and frugal life, and slowly save money to fulfill his ambitions.

Therefore, when the wizards were leaving, they asked him if he would like to go with them and participate in any war, but he flatly refused.

What are you kidding, don't you see that he can't even light an oil lamp now, and the room is dark every day. When he did that kind of thing, he almost stuffed it into the nostrils of the little heart, so that the little heart ignored him for several days.

In addition, the soldiers of the entire territory, all combined, are no more than a hundred. In this way, he was still worried about how to solve the problem of the soldiers' salaries and food next month.

It's nothing if he doesn't get paid for a month, but if he doesn't have enough food, those hungry mud legs will definitely cut off his head, loot their castle, and flee to the rest of the world to become a bandof thieves.

In this case, what kind of war should he take part in, and he would not have been killed, unless his head was kicked by the miller's donkey, and he would never have consented.

But how to solve the problem of food? Go and borrow a little from the lord next door? Well, he has already sent someone to inquire on horseback, so he should be back at this time, right?

With this in mind, Baron Lancaster sat in the main hall of the castle and glanced subconsciously towards the door.

"Click......

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and then a soldier stumbled in, carrying a heavy white snow on his back, like a backpack.

Baron Lancaster quickly stood up, looked at the soldiers, and asked aloud, "What does the Marquis of Capetch say, is he willing to lend us food?"

"The Marquis of Capecchi asked me to tell the Baron. The subordinate quickly replied, "You can lend us food, but it's ......."

"Needless to say, I know, isn't it just borrowing one and repaying two. Lancaster gritted his teeth and said, thinking of this makes him angry, but there is no way, who makes it really difficult now, "Tell him, I promise, how much grain I borrow this month, I will pay him back twice in the second half of the year." ”

"Not that, Lord Baron. The subordinate shook his head and said loudly, "Marquis Capecchi asked me to tell you that food can be delivered for free, but he has one condition. ”

"Conditions, what conditions?" said Baron Lancaster, stunned.

"He said, let you send him fifty sturdy soldiers, for a while, what war he is going to the east to participate in. ”

"Well, a war in the east, a war in the east?" said Baron Lancaster, frowning, pacing back and forth in the castle, "Capapet, this old fellow is mercenary, what war in the east would he participate in?"

Well, there must be benefits, and there is much more food than the food that was sent, otherwise he would never have made such a request. In other words, what the hell is going on in this war in the east?"

At the end of the day, Baron Lancaster was full of doubts. The wizard who lived in the castle before seemed to have told him when he left, but he didn't listen at all and forgot about it.

The subordinate spoke up: "Lord Baron, you forgot, the wizards who left told you. They're going to attack the Golden Triangle principalities, they're responsible for breaking down the city, and we're complicated to maintain order, guarding the prisoners or something. As for the rewards, they allow us to take as much as we can from the treasury of each city, and of course not from the sorcery-related resources they need. ”

"Huh?!...... Really?!those wizards...... Uh, did the wizards really say that?Why don't I remember?," Baron Lancaster asked, wide-eyed as he looked at the soldier.

"Yes. The subordinate craned his neck and nodded, reaffirming, "That's what the wizards really said, I heard it clearly. They also say that it is because of the special reward given to us by staying in our castle. For the rest, the rewards won't be so good. ”

"In that case...... Baron Lancaster's eyes rolled rapidly in his sockets, and after a moment, he cried out violently, "then what are you waiting for!

"Lord Baron Lancaster, what are you...... Are you going to send people to the Marquis of Capetch?"

"Send a ghost! I'm going to chase the wizards, I'm going to follow the wizards to participate in the Eastern War, to grab money and food!"

"But we don't have many people, they're all gone, what about the territory?"

"Stupid! Now go tell that old fellow of Capecchi, don't ask me for someone, I'll ask him for someone now! I will give him thirty percent of all the benefits that the wizards promised him before! And his people must go to war in my name!

Just tell him that you don't need to change a word! That old guy must understand that what to do is the most beneficial. ”

"Well, yes. The men left quickly.

The Baron of Lancaster in the castle drew his long sword, his eyes narrowed slightly, and looked to the east. He swung his sword vigorously, made a sound of breaking the wind, and said with a look of eagerness: "War, ha, I'm coming! The time has come for Baron Lancaster to spread his prestige and revive the family!"
