Blair stood on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance. A gust of autumn wind blew by, blowing the hem of his robe. In fact, it was already very late now, and it was hazy at the foot of the mountain. He couldn't see very far at all. But
Blair is not standing here observing the situation at the foot of the mountain, but thinking about the problem./|\'Update soon/|\
Ever since Blair came out with the Moonlight City Magic Exchange Group, the security of the entire team has been entirely handled by the magicians he specially brought from the Moonlight City Magic Guild. These magicians were divided into two groups, working day and night.
He maintains a "Magic Eye" magic circle. The principle of this magic circle is quite simple, which is to expand his field of vision through magic and use it to detect abnormalities around him.
This "Magic God Eye" magic circle was cleverly made in the carriage of a carriage, so that whether walking or resting, this magic circle could not be disturbed. With the strength of these magicians, the exchange group was near
They can observe it within twenty kilometers. Such a far distance is enough for our side to make corresponding preparations before the enemy attacks.
Blair is a little anxious, because according to the predetermined time, Lily, the president of the Thieves Guild who is responsible for making friends with Senat, should have sent people to contact Senat, but so far, Blair has not got any news. Now
The entire magic exchange group was stationed on the edge of Senat's territory. If Lily had not formed a non-aggression treaty with Senat, then Blair would have to take the entire exchange group further west around two mountains, which would of course take more time.
And even if he really signed a contract with Senat, Blair would still have to guard against Senat being detrimental to him. After all, he now carries almost four-fifths of the magic power of Moon Moon City. If Blair's trip is to attack Senat and seize Senat,
Christchurch, Blair is not so
Worried, as long as he protects his own army and sends additional scouts to prevent sneak attacks, Blair can of course advance step by step. However, now he can only wait passively. Even if he really wants to fight, Senat can only make the first move to avoid looking at the moon.
The city was in a difficult diplomatic situation.
"Sir, it's already dark, why not go back to the carriage and take a rest." Just as Blair was speculating on Senat's possible reaction, the voice of one of his assistants came from beside him, and Blair slowly turned around.
He came over and said to his assistant: "Is there no news yet?"
Blair's assistant shook his head and said: "No, it was supposed to be delivered by carrier pigeon in the afternoon, but now it is six hours late and there is still no news. Has anything changed?"
Although Blair was anxious, he did not show it at all. After hearing his assistant's words, Blair laughed and said: "Actually, no matter what the outcome is, we must be careful in the end. This is why I chose this place as my camp tonight.
Due to the ground, we cannot take action first, and the terrain here is dangerous. Although it is easy to be surrounded, as magicians we are not afraid of this."
"Okay, relax a little, go convey my order, and let the 'Magic Eye' continue to detect with all its strength. Send additional scouts to search the nearby area. Don't be careless. After all, the 'Magic Eye' is not omnipotent, and the same goes for the other party.
You can use magic to create illusions to interfere."
"As you command!"
"Oh, by the way, if Ryan and the others have nothing to do, please invite them over for a chat. I've been busy traveling these past few days and haven't had much chat with them. After all, they are guests."
"Okay, I'll do it right away." Blair's assistant agreed and ran away quickly to deliver the order.
Blair is traveling with a magic exchange group this time. In fact, there are only a few official members in his group, including 3 great magisters, 11 magisters, and 17 senior magicians. In addition to these magicians,
In addition to divisions, there are also team leaders, supervisors and other personnel.
However, there are almost 300 people in this exchange group. This is because every qualified magician cannot be alone. He must have his own followers. As we all know, it takes time for magicians to cast spells.
A fledgling young magician will naturally have to work hard, but once he becomes famous, will he have to do everything himself?
In order to solve this problem, many famous and powerful magicians formed their own entourage. This kind of entourage is very similar to the knight's retinue, and because the magician does not need to be as self-disciplined as the knight, the magician's entourage has different types.
There are more servants who are responsible for the daily life of the magician, assistants who take care of various affairs for the magician, and even more powerful guards. The purpose of these guards is to protect the magician and buy time for the magician to cast spells.
It can be said that the 11 magisters and 3 grand magisters traveling in this exchange group are equivalent to 14 small mercenary groups united to perform a task. This number of people is naturally indispensable, especially Master Blair himself.
They also brought enough manpower: 20 thieves and scouts who were good at gathering information, and 20 warriors who were good at martial arts and wore armor.
, and there are 10 hundred-hit shooters, and because of Blair's high status, he even hired several priests among his entourage, plus Blair's 12 assistants who are all senior magicians, as well as grooms and chefs.
Including eight servants, Blair's entourage alone accounted for a quarter of the entire exchange group.
After a while, Ryan walked over with Faras and Flanner. This time Ryan divided the entire mercenary group into two parts. He asked Alando to take Colin and Thomas to help Shaina find the town.
The whereabouts of the Soul Song, and he, Faras and Flanner, accompanied Blair back to the imperial capital, so when he heard that Blair was chatting with him, Ryan came over immediately with his companions.
As soon as Ryan and the others walked up to Blair, before they could say anything, they heard the sound of rapid footsteps. Ryan and the others hurriedly stood away, only to see another of Blair's assistants hurriedly walked to Blair's side, and then whispered: "
Sir, there is a situation!"
Blair made an apologetic gesture to Ryan and the others, and then signaled his assistant to start reporting. The assistant immediately told the news he had just received: "About seventeen kilometers northeast of us, we have found a large number of troops.
There were about a thousand people, and an army also appeared in the southwest, but there were only a few hundred people. It was too dark and there were dense woods in that direction, so it was not possible to see clearly."
Blair briefly recalled the nearby map and found that the two armies happened to block the passage for his group to go north and south. If the magic exchange group wanted to go in other directions, they would have to abandon the carriage and take the mountain road, and the road was rugged and difficult to walk.
The inconvenience may give the opponent more time to encircle him.
"Besides Senat, is there any other lord around here who can mobilize thousands of troops? It seems that Senat is ready to hunt, but sometimes he will be swallowed up by his prey if he overestimates his capabilities." Blair said softly: "
The terrain here is difficult. As long as you hold on to the only passage, you don't have to worry.
The enemy is attacking. Let the scouts shrink back a little and be careful not to conflict with the opponent. After all, there are many of them. In addition, everyone on the mountain must eat and rest on the spot without disturbing them. In addition to guarding the passage up and down the mountain, the soldiers responsible for guarding must also divide
Send out manpower to patrol the surrounding cliffs to prevent people from climbing up."
Ryan and the others were standing nearby, so naturally they could hear clearly. After Blair's assistant left, Ryan immediately took a few steps forward and said to Blair: "I'll go help too. I shouldn't hold you back."
.”
Blair shook his head and said with a smile: "Haha, what's holding you back? Ryan, you are so humble. You killed more orcs in the Thunder God Fortress and the Imperial Capital, right? If they attack in batches and days, maybe you
One person can kill them all. However, you are a guest now, how can you let the guest be busy while the host stands idly by?"
Ryan wanted to say something more, but Blair patted his shoulder hard and said: "Don't worry, it's okay. Our magicians in Moon Moon City also use magic, and we also occupy a favorable terrain. If you really want to
If you can help me, there is something very important now."
"What happened?" Ryan asked.
"Play tarot cards with me!" Master Blair said with a smile.
As soon as Blair spoke, his assistant standing next to him immediately got busy. In a short time, everything was arranged. The table was removed from the carriage, and of course the four chairs were too, although they were a bit crude.
, but it is not easy on the journey, and in addition to these, Master Blair's servant quickly brought out a variety of pastries, as well as grilled meat cut into small pieces, and more than a dozen kinds of popular fruits.
There was even a glass of wine each for Faras and Flanner.
Faras sat down, she picked up the crystal wine glass and took a sip. She discovered that the blood-red wine was actually the finest Bordeaux produced in the imperial capital. She glanced at Ryan and Blair with her eyes, and found that they only had
Qingshui, obviously Blair's assistant knew the habits of Ryan and others very well, and handled everything properly.
"You have a good housekeeper." Faras couldn't help but praise, and Blair said with a smile: "Actually, they have been with me for a long time and are familiar with it. Okay, no more words, let's play cards.
.”
"Okay, we haven't played cards together for a long time, Ryan, let's have a little more fun tonight." Faras picked up the entire set of tarot cards and began to shuffle the cards according to the rules, while Ryan was going to deal with the attacks of Senat's army.
His worries were temporarily put aside. While waiting for the Farasi card, Ryan had completely adjusted his mentality. He even joked with Blair: "If you lack a Magister card, you can add yourself."
Come in, you are a great mage anyway!"
