Chapter 59: The Interlude of the Battle
Orusero put Primra's blood into an instrument that looked very sophisticated but had a very strange shape. He muttered a few spells composed of syllables that were not like humans could issue, and gestured for a spell casting action similar to a cult ritual. It finally made the instrument rotate.
The great magician took the colorful patterns given by the instrument and finally came to the conclusion: Primula is 100% human, and hundreds of times his ancestors have not been mixed with non-human bloodline.
"This is strange. If it were 100% humans, where did his powerful magic resistance and strange power come from?" Orusero was very strange.
Orusero once made up his mind to Primula's mysterious jade jewelry, but looking at the girl's precious appearance, he finally gave up this plan. Anyway, Primula is a good girl, Primula is a human being. With these two cognitions, Orusero finally felt relieved.
In short, after defeating the Lich Green Light incident, neither of the master nor the disciple could unlock its secrets and could only sink into the sea.
In short, the spring of the 531st year of the Federal calendar passed like this, and Lu Xi, who had not reported to any government department, his happy life continued.
Lu Xi also called his other two entourages, and the four of them fought and cooperated with each other every day. Think carefully: Among the four, Lu Xi was a magician, Primra was responsible for physical output, Boole was a powerful MT, and Grant was an archer, and there was only a healing priest. However, the priests who believed in the holy light also enjoyed a high reputation and status in the ground countries, so there was no reason to come to be entourages for Lu Xi.
So, he fought simulation wars every day, helped the teacher do experiments, and went to the library for a while, and occasionally took Lim to the capital of Moor County for a walk. Lu Xi lived the comfortable life he had always dreamed of.
Of course, there are still some episodes of calm daily life. Orusero will assign Lu Xi and the others some D-level C-level tasks from time to time. From "collecting materials" and "collecting samples" without danger to "sweeping bandits" and "sweeping wanted monsters" that need to be fought, etc., he has contributed a lot of experience to Lu Xi.
With these experiences, Lu Xi upgraded the magician level to level 30. In addition, in order to congratulate his disciples on obtaining the new staff given by magicians, his comprehensive strength reached the 8th level of silver, and finally surpassed Lim, who had just advanced to the 7th level of silver.
(Name: Dragon Sacrifice. Quality: Golden Epic. Attributes: Perception +2, Intelligence +5, Spirit +5, Spellcasting Speed +10%, Energy-Shaping Magic +1, Summoning Magic +1, Change Magic +1. Instant Magic Storage Position 15/15, Release Magic Charge.)
Lu Xi's progress is shocking, but that's because of the system's golden thighs, while Lim's strength has leaps 4 levels in just half a year, and the level has also run from warrior 25 to 34. It can only be described as a genius.
Of course, Lu Xi has always suspected that the "local natives" who formed his team can also gain some experience in the system. Otherwise, why did Grant, the 8th level of Black Iron and the 10th level of Black Iron, both advanced to the 3rd level of Bronze and 4th level of Bronze, and have gone from elite miscellaneous soldiers to the squad leader of the miscellaneous soldiers.
He said that Lim was a genius Lu Xixin, and that these two villagers A and B were also geniuses, and neither Cat Star believed it.
Of course, this kind of suspicion is not certain, but since it is not a bad thing, Lu Xi just let it go.
In Lu Xi's happy daily life of upgrading and fighting monsters, the large-scale military operation of the Federal Oriental Legion against the Namoan Mountains is also continuing.
No matter which news, there are many good news. Just looking at the above record data, it seems that the Eastern Legion has plowed the entire mountain range that stretches for thousands of kilometers several times, and the Black Flag Wing people may even have less than three times the descendants of the federal soldiers. As a result, the whole society began to fall into a pathological sense of war fanaticism.
I keep hearing about how many winged people were eliminated today, and how many villages and caves were captured tomorrow. All newspapers are also filled with reports such as "The Sixth Division of the Heroes of the Iron Army", "The Wind and Thunder! 109 Detachment", "General Gary, the Good Son of the Alliance and the Country", "The End of Sin, the Last of the Blood Hands", etc., which are unreadable just by looking at the topic. The content seems passionate, but the words and sentences are pretentious, and the deeds are so false and boring that it seems that news reports of third-rate novels and dramas are emerging one after another. In response, Orusero made the following ridicule: "It's just that I took down a few earthen kilns that others don't want, and I really think I've built the Eternal Night Palace?"
The so-called media will only report what the government wants to report, and the people are fooled. However, as a great magician, a federal honorary member of the congressman, and the lord of the Colorful Rose Island, Orusero has his own intelligence channels, and through these channels, Lu Xi knows that even if the Eastern Legion has absolute power, the situation of the battle is actually not optimistic.
On the way forward of the main force of the Eastern Legion, the bandits of the Black Flag-Wingers often scattered. The strategic intention of the legion in the earliest battle to seek "the decisive battle of the enemy's main force" was completely impossible to achieve. On the other hand, the Black Flag-Wingers scattered in every corner of the mountain range and caves, relying on their geographical knowledge that is superior to the enemy, constantly raided the supply lines of the Eastern Legion and attacked their small corps stations, patrols, and reconnaissance teams.
Even though the Eastern Legion achieved considerable results with elite soldiers and exquisite command on the spot, it could not bring a fatal blow to the enemy; as the battle situation became increasingly unclear, the army became increasingly tired. The current situation is getting closer to the previous few military operations of the Federation against Namoa: sending troops vigorously, fighting exhaustedly, and retreating in a dirt manner. Such a slashing military operation, apart from wasting taxpayers' money and putting a greater burden on the bleak federal finance, actually does not have much practical significance.
"Mr. Russell said in parliament: Unscheming military operations may cause the collapse of the economic system of the entire federal society. Why not store some goods now and take the opportunity to make money from the national crisis? Didn't it mean that our family has a financial deficit recently?" Lu Xi told Orusero.
"Please give up this idea early. That boy Russell is a meticulous person. Being able to speak loudly in parliament means that he is fully prepared. Even in the worst case, he must have figured out a way to control the situation."
"Oh, is that true?"
"Then let me ask you, the battle situation of the Eastern Legion is obviously a bit difficult now. Gary has asked the military headquarters several times to increase his troops. Why did Russell suppress all these letters?"
"Why is this?"
"What if Russell agreed to reinforcements?"
"Just with the 40,000 Eastern Legion, it can defeat millions of Black Flag-winged people. If one or two legions are added... Well, conquering Namoa is inevitable. Maybe you can still fight to the Great Wilderness and Heras in one breath and liberate all Gebia. From then on, the glory of the six-pointed star will never fall."
"This is a situation where you win, what if you lose?"
"Lost... it's not. Now that there is such a small amount of troops, you can be in a complete offensive against the enemy. If you continue to increase your troops, the situation should only get better and better, right?"
"The federal forces dispatched more than 100,000 troops in the previous few operations against Namoa. The one who commanded the troops was not a famous general of the world. What was the final result?"
“Um…”
"Do you know: how much food is needed to maintain an army of ten thousand people outside the country for a long time and conduct high-intensity combat? Wars are not about the greater the troops, the greater the advantage. With the current financial situation of the Federation, if you want to maintain more troops, that is the real disaster. The reason why Russell did not send reinforcements was because he knew that once this hole was opened, it would never be closed again; but if it was just the action of the Eastern Legion, then war could at least be defined in small-scale local wars, and the entire situation would not be out of Russell's control."
"In other words, Lord Russell understands: This war cannot be won at all? Then why didn't he stop the Eastern Legion from doing it?"
"Hundreds of outposts and military stations on the border were attacked. Hundreds of soldiers, including candidates who took the unified examination, were killed in battle, which was equivalent to slapping hard in the face of the Federation and the Alliance. If there was no necessary response, the great reputation of the ancestors of the Academic Alliance for the Magicians and the Nadia Federation would disappear, and the Six-Star Flag fell on the ground and was trampled by thousands of people. At that time, let alone the Winged Man, Orcs and Undead, even the ambitious human empires on the ground, would treat the Kingdom of Sky as a delicious meal? I don't need to say what the Federation would be like at that time?"
"In other words, for the sake of scaring people's face, even if you lose your inner self, you can still face the scalp."
"This is the helplessness of the national government."
"The government is a thing that will make people complain no matter what it does. It is indeed the most promising institution in the world." Lu Xi thought of Sexiliu who had already entered the government agency, and couldn't help but pray for the capable and bright girl. I hope that next time I see her, I will not be a premature old woman. Thinking of this, he added: "If I went to that kind of place, I might die before you."
"You must survive. I am still planning to rely on you to support you." Orusero looked at the disciple who was curling his lips, but said such a meaningful sentence.
After hearing what the teacher said, Lu Xi couldn't help but shivered: "If you always say anything, just say it, don't say a word that makes me so uncomfortable."
