Rhett and his group came to Castle No. 1, while Shilin went to Castle No. 2 - the odd-numbered ones were the deputy castles for male soldiers, and the even-numbered ones were the deputy castles for female soldiers.
The dormitory in the deputy fort was a four-person room, and the men were divided into two groups - Rhett, Tucker, Riley, and McCovey lived in one room, while Tadell and Coors moved into the nearby vacant dormitory.
When not on the battlefield, accommodation and food are relatively good. Only when on the battlefield, everything is out of your control.
In the afternoon, Rhett came to Sub-Fort No. 11 again, wanting to visit his former teammates.
But when he arrived, he found that his former comrades' dormitories were empty. He guessed that it was because the war was intense and they were still on the front line, carrying out missions.
So he walked around again, wanting to see if there was any change, and found that everything was the same as it was two years ago. The scenery was still the same as it was two years ago, but many of the soldiers he saw everywhere were unfamiliar faces.
Returning to the dormitory with a heavy heart, Lei Te began to meditate, preparing to break the bottleneck.
In his opinion, he now has 290 destiny points. If he adds the proceeds from the upcoming battlefield harvest and Thales' contribution in executing orcs, there is definitely a great hope that he can cross the threshold of a fifth-level magician in one fell swoop.
Once another breakthrough is made.
By then, whether on the battlefield or returning to the rear, your strength and influence will be greatly enhanced, and you will enjoy a pivotal position!
Therefore, he could not waste any time and immersed himself in meditation wholeheartedly.
Until the moon rose in the western sky, Rhett suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the door.
A few seconds later, there was a knock on the door.
Then, a respectful voice came from outside: "Sir Leiter, I heard from Lord Anbiru that you live here, so I came to visit you specially."
The voice was unfamiliar, and Leiter was sure he had never heard it before, but he still opened the door. When he saw the person coming, he showed a strange look.
The person in front of him was dressed in aristocratic attire, looking bright and handsome, and wearing a top hat. It was obvious that he had just rushed to the front line from the rear.
However, Rhett caught sight of the four white fan blades painted on the other party's chest at a glance - a very obvious mark of Windmill Town, and a chill rose in his heart.
“Sir Rhett, we may not have met, but I have heard of your reputation.
Please allow me to introduce myself. I am the lord of Windmill Town, Viscount Gaspard. Gaspard, with green curly hair, stood at the door and gently stroked his chest.
"Yeah." Leiter raised his eyebrows as he recalled their past, and asked directly: "So, Viscount Gaspard, which unit were you assigned to?"
"Captain of the third squad under Commander Snowway." Gaspar responded quickly, as if he had noticed that something was wrong with Rhett's attitude. He then looked apologetic and said, "Sir Rhett, I think... there must be some misunderstandings between us. I have heard that my son has offended you in the past. This is the result of my negligence in discipline.
I deeply regret this and am willing to provide adequate compensation.”
As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Rhett to speak, Viscount Gaspar took out three bottles of Moonlight Potion from a brown leather bag hanging around his waist.
"Three bottles of potion. It's not a token of respect. Please accept them, Sir Rhett." Gaspar bowed slightly and kept a very humble attitude.
Lei Te thought for a moment, narrowed his eyes slightly, took the three bottles of medicine without hesitation, and said slowly: "Okay... I believe that what happened before was all a misunderstanding.
Besides, with Viscount Gaspard's wisdom, he would definitely not do such a stupid thing, right?"
"Sir Rhett is absolutely right!" Gaspar laughed, seemingly not caring about the irony in his words.
Lei Te nodded, his expression indifferent. In his heart, he sneered at the nonsense the other party had just said. But at this moment, it didn't matter whether he believed it or not. The other party would soon meet the end on the battlefield, so there was no need for him to dwell on it.
However, wouldn't it be a pity to let him go so easily now? He felt that he should cherish this opportunity and get more benefits.
Otherwise, once the other party dies, you will get nothing.
So he said meaningfully: "But... three bottles of medicine may not be able to eliminate the misunderstanding between us.
Viscount Gaspard, do you know Zoran?"
When Gaspar heard Zoran's name, his heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that something was not good. He didn't expect that the other party would find out about this.
Facing the other person's slightly cold eyes, Gaspar sighed inwardly, but pretended to be very confused and said: "Zoran? I have never heard of him. Who is this person..."
"Humph! This person is a spy planted in our territory by your Windmill Town, and he also stole a batch of valuables."
Hearing the other party pretending to be stupid, Lei Te's expression gradually turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "If you want to sincerely clear up the misunderstanding, give me five more bottles of Moonlight Potion, and we can wipe out the misunderstanding between you and me!"
“Five...five bottles?” Gaspar’s mouth twitched, revealing a look of pain.
"That's right. Whether you are willing or not, I will never force you." Lei Te said casually:
“But everyone has to pay for the mistakes they make, no one is exempt!
Otherwise, if something unexpected happens in the future, don’t regret your choice today..."
Since the other party wouldn't live long anyway, Rhett spoke very bluntly. After he finished speaking, he deliberately released his mental power to shock the other party.
Suddenly.
An invisible wave of air surrounded Viscount Gaspar from all directions.
The latter felt the invisible pressure around his body, and thinking of the terrifying strength of the other party that he had learned not long ago, he laughed dryly twice: "Of course, I should apologize!"
After rummaging in the leather bag around his waist and feeling around in his arms, Gaspar finally gathered five bottles of Moonlight Potion and handed them to Rhett with both hands.
After Leiter took it, he nodded with satisfaction, then looked behind Gaspar and saw no one. He suddenly felt something strange and asked, "Your son, Dusty, didn't come to participate in the enlistment this time?"
"It's a pity that Dusti is traveling. He may not be back for several months, so he missed this opportunity." Gaspar shook his head regretfully.
"Well, it's a pity that a great opportunity to achieve success is missed." Lei Te nodded.
In fact, I secretly sighed in my heart: I can’t kill them all…
After a brief chat, Gaspar left on the pretext of a mission. Rhett did not try to keep him and went straight back to the room, throwing eight bottles of Moonlight Potion to Rilai.
"Father, Viscount Gaspard actually came to you to apologize? This is a bit unexpected." Riley opened his eyes and said.
"Haha, I didn't expect that, but it would be a shame not to take the benefits." Rhett shook his head, seemingly unconcerned.
"So... are you planning to let him go?" Riley followed his father's gaze.
Rhett walked to the head of the bed, glanced at Riley, did not respond, but instead showed a meaningful smile.
Seeing this smile, Riley blinked, as if he understood something.
He closed his eyes and meditated honestly.
Two days later.
As some soldiers under Ambiru who were performing tasks on the front line returned to the camp temporarily, and as nobles from the rear of the southwestern border arrived one after another, Rhett's staff was finally filled.
The one hundred people were divided into ten teams, with ten people in each team.
In addition to the original soldiers here, some old acquaintances from the rear also joined Rhett's army.
Not just old acquaintances, but relatives...
Gary from Dam Town and Roy from Maple Forest Town both brought their own forces, a total of twenty people, and were assigned to Rhett's men.
As the deputy commander of the canyon defense line, Ambiru has twenty detachments under his command. These twenty teams are mainly guerrillas, patrols, assassination teams, and scout teams.
Under Ambiru's command, the guerrillas, patrols, and assassination teams can be flexibly switched between the three. The scout team is much more low-key and secretive, mainly responsible for spying on the enemy at the front line, and ordinary soldiers rarely have direct contact with them.
In the Canyon battlefield, the role of the deputy commander is to cooperate with the commander-in-chief to carry out flank harassment, outflanking behind enemy lines, and spying on intelligence. It can also be said that Ambiru's troops focus on exerting the effect of surprise troops.
The autumn sun was as red as blood. After it sank into the west sky, gusts of cold wind began to attack every corner of the canyon's defense line.
Rhett, with a hundred soldiers behind him, was already on standby in an open field. He had already received news that there would be tasks assigned tonight.
Among the hundred people behind him, in addition to Rhett and Mycroft, there were also one third-level magician of the fire and one third-level magician of the light.
Magicians are also a scarce role in the army, and their number is much smaller than that of knights.
It is basically impossible to equip every team with a full range of magicians.
But in Leiter's opinion, including himself, Mycroft, and the two new magicians, they already covered the earth, wind, fire, and light elements. Adding Rayleigh, a second-level water magician, they also had five elements, enough to use a variety of tactics.
Especially the light magician, who masters healing magic and is absolutely indispensable on the battlefield.
Although casting healing magic to heal flesh and blood injuries consumes a huge amount of mental energy and can't be sustained more than a few times in a short period of time, the recovery speed is much faster than potions. A few shots at critical moments will definitely have a miraculous effect in small-scale combat.
at this time.
Gary and Roy were standing in the team, not far behind Rhett. They both looked sad. They had met yesterday.
After learning that Rhett was now a fourth-level magician and their direct superior, they felt complicated.
They all thought that becoming a third-level magician was a remarkable thing.
But when we met again at the canyon defense line this time, I was still shocked.
But if you think about it carefully, it is always better for the people close to you to become stronger than for your enemies to become stronger.
In fact, the two of them were secretly delighted at this moment! They had a clear understanding of their own talents, and it would be extremely difficult to overcome the barrier of becoming an Earth Knight in this lifetime.
So everyone is very open-minded - hard work does not necessarily lead to success, but not working hard will definitely make you very comfortable.
In their eyes, Rhett is their relative, and having a strong supporter has already surpassed many people!
With this relationship, even if he couldn't take care of her too obviously, as long as it was within the rules, there would always be tasks with varying degrees of danger. What's the harm in taking care of her intentionally or unintentionally? About two hours later, Lei Te looked calm and remained on standby.
At this time, the sunset had already set in the west, the moon rose in front, and the stars twinkled overhead. The night passed over the military castle in front and enveloped the entire canyon defense line. Rhett looked up and could vaguely see two peaks hiding in the clouds in front: Mingjin Peak and Crow Peak.
This is the tallest and most robust mountain in the canyon. Both the orcs and the human camp can see its shadow from afar.
At this time, a figure in red armor walked over from the white stone field, handed Lei Te a small note with a serious expression, and whispered: "The above is your task for tonight. There is no need to fight to the death. While preserving your manpower, try to eliminate the orcs of royal blood!"
Lei Te hadn't had time to read the note, but when he heard the order, he immediately saluted and said, "Got it, sir!"
"Well, speed is of the essence. Let's go now!"
"clear!"
The battlefield emphasizes efficiency, and there is no verbose language. After receiving the order, Lei Te turned around and said, "All of them, northwest direction, area 5.
All troops attack! "
Boom boom boom
The heavy footsteps sounded in unison, like heavy drumbeats hitting the black drumhead of the earth at night.
A group of people rushed towards the slope No. 5 mentioned by Rhett.
The number 5 here is the army's internal code, referring specifically to a two-hundred-meter-high hillside next to a place called White Flower Grassland on the canyon defense line.
On the battlefield, there are many secret orders, codes, and secret words, and they are ever-changing and complex.
This time, area No. 5 is next to the white flower meadow. Next time, the names of all the areas may be reversed.
Alternatively, the numbers of each area can be increased by 1 or 2, or they can be expressed in multiple forms such as magic plants, minerals, monsters, etc.
In order to prevent traitors from leaking information, a set of secret codes may be used before carrying out the mission.
When performing a mission or at a critical moment in the mission, they would change into another set of clothes.
For example, now, Rhett led a hundred men and horses after an hour's journey.
Leading a group of people to a small hill 200 meters east of the white flower meadow, he raised his right hand high and clenched his fist.
The team stopped in unison instantly.
"Now I declare that the code word will be changed from the basic number to the number plus 1, and any flying monster will be worn."
"Next location, Level 3 Fire Feather Eagle (originally referring to Area 2)."
On the canyon defense line, all soldiers must undergo special learning and training in advance on the changing rules of secret codes.
Rhett knew this by heart.
It's just that some nobles from the rear were a little unfamiliar with this, especially Gary and Roy, who had been cramming their knowledge in this area over the past two days.
After hearing the order, the soldiers behind him almost immediately changed their pace and headed towards the west.
As the dusk deepened, a thin mist covered the white flower meadow behind the team and spread to the Helian Peak in front. Lei Te stood at the foot of the mountain and just saw the mountain "piercing" the moon, and the shadow covered the faces of the soldiers.
