Vol 3 Chapter 103

Chapter 103: Tonigel and the Young Lord (3) (First)

The winter of the Black Rose War was extremely cold in the winter of this year, and the air in the gray sky seemed to be frozen into powder and fell down one after another.

Jerter lurked in the bushes on the mountain top overnight, almost frozen.

He reached out to catch the powder that fell from the sky, and there was a slight cold in his hand, and the ice crystals melted in his hand-it was snowflakes. The young man, still wearing his cyan string mage apprentice robe that seemed unchanged for many years, looked up at the sky.

Snowing.

The first snow since this year.

He couldn't help but think of the constant conversation between Lord Shire and the young lord, speaking of the situation in the north, the fate of the Archduke's coalition forces and His Royal Highness ...

"The war in the north is still behind the first snow--"

Jerte himself is only a noble son of a family of little gentry. His hometown is in Karasu, which is also a remote part of the kingdom. Although it is a noble family, after all, he has limited knowledge and can only watch the big men live.

It's better than the average person, but the recent years have been getting worse year by year.

Jerte came out to take risks, and he knew very well that he wanted to change his destiny. He systematically studied magic for a period of time under a wizard mentor, and communicated with the mentor to understand the outside world-a chaotic world of this age has a fatal appeal to young people like him.

The chaos seemed to be full of opportunities.

So after the mentor's death, Jelt embarked on a dream journey.

However, his luck was not as good as he had imagined. Several of his close family members died of illness during the trip. They had to take a rest in the fir collar and then consider whether to return to the original road or move on.

However, I did not expect to encounter this incident again. Gruddin killed all his companions. The desperate Jerte only wanted to stay with the noble.

But sometimes destiny is so changeable.

That night he met the young Lord Lord, participated in that battle, and was fortunate to have followed each other since then, and he became the first member of the wizarding group under Charles.

As Shire's deputy, he had the opportunity to participate in discussions between Brando and the wizard's obedience-of course, young people can not catch up-two people talk about the situation in the north, talk about Bramanta Invasion of Black Rose, talking about Cruz.

The vision of that lord lord made Jerte see a whole new world, a height he had never thought of before.

It was also his first mentor who never talked to him.

At that moment Jerte knew that he might have seized the opportunity, and the road to the realization of his dream was close, or it had already been realized.

Since then he has become a whole-hearted supporter of Brando, and this time he went to Paras for information, and he applied for it voluntarily.

However, the Scouting Team needed a man with proficiency in spells, so he was rightly selected.

For this, Charles complained to Brando, saying that he had snatched one of his capable deputies.

However, Jerte did not regret it. He felt that instead of staying in the obscurity of the adult, he might as well come out to attract the other's attention with actual actions.

He is a yearning for adventure, otherwise he would not leave home to come here.

The young man stared at the sky for a long time, and finally came back. Then he *** ed his hand-he didn't dare to move too much so as not to get the attention of the sentry below.

On the hilltop he looked at a gray-yellow tent in the forest below and the passing camp.

Then he heard a gurgling noise from behind. His companion was on alert in that direction, and it was clear that he was his own. There was, of course, another possibility.

Jerte immediately tightened his nerves.

"Chinese cabbage……"

There was a strange password in the woods, said to have been taught by Shire.

Jerte immediately relaxed, and he was his own. He turned back and said, "Which one is it?"

"Ma Youfu."

Jerte identified this name as another wizard apprentice of the same team. The guy originally had only a nickname but no name-the name was given to him by the lord.

He's such a bad luck guy, Gert couldn't help thinking about it.

"Jelt, how about it? Is this the camp of the Palas Knights?" The wizard apprentice in a gray robe walked over the waist and squatted beside him and asked quietly: "But the mice said they didn't Camp- "

"This is not the camp of Palas."

Jert shook his head.

"No?" Yo-Yo Ma frowned.

The young man nodded slowly, and he slightly moved his frozen stiff limbs: "They are mountain people."

"Shanmin?"

"Aren't they fighting with Palas—?" Yo-Yo Ma asked in surprise: "How could they be here? Could they be planning to invade at this time? That's a godsend!"

But Jert shook his head, not so simple: "The mountain people have many branches, they may come for us."

"what?"

"You, are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure, I know them better than you. Okay, go and pass the message to the reporting team, we're going to retreat," Jerte replied, "It's snowing, we can't hide people here, we have to change our clothes. come."

Yo-Yo Ma looked at his companion and nodded.

...

"Shanmin?"

The snowflakes in the sky became denser.

Soon after leaving the South Gate, Brando bumped into a mercenary head-on, who was an elemental-young man recognized this man-Shire's men.

At the request of Brando, Charr initially selected those who had the ability to cast spells from mercenaries and adventurers—a wizard who knew a little tricks, a third-rate elemental scammer, a liar, a witch doctor pretending to be a ghost and a large number of apprentices— -The formation of a so-called wizard group.

Because there is a wizard in the golden field of Shire as a sign there, this move did not take any effort, and even many wizards voluntarily left the mercenary group to join this so-called wizard group; although this incident was once at the head of each mercenary group It caused criticism, but because of Brando's support behind it, there was no real trouble.

Brando knows that the advantages of using the caster concentrated in the later wars have been proven by both the player and the NPC. Of course, Shire has complained to him more than once that these people are not worthy of being called a "witcher group". It's not that the hodgepodge of the three educators is better, but Brando doesn't care, at least in his opinion--

This is the first wizarding group he has formed.

Besides, there are many talented people among these people. If they are trained a little, there will be no problem in forming the backbone of the Wizarding Association in the future. It is a pity that although Shire has no tutor-level strength, he has no experience in training apprentices. Therefore, this so-called wizard group seems to be an empty shelf at present.

However, it is not completely useless. These casters with even a little strength follow more or less a certain mentor, or at least apprenticeship for a period of time. Among them, there is even a school of academic origin. They have one thing in common.

That's all hyphenation.

So Brando, Antitina, Tiger Sparrow and Shire usually used these people for intelligence and some paperwork. Apparently the person he is now encountering is one of the so-called "Tiger's Intelligence Unit".

With regard to Brando's question, that element nodded: "Yes, sir, sir, let me tell you, you may need this news urgently. This information was sent back by those from the north, saying: It's related to the mountain people-"

Those people north?

Brando froze for a while before he remembered that he did let the tiger **** and Reto organize to penetrate the Palas area to collect news that the army of Count Denel was assembled.

Tiger Sparrow is fully responsible for this matter, but he also knows the specific plan. Shire asked his third-class wizards or apprentices gathered from the mercenaries to be mixed into these scout squads and disguised as adventurers— To send a message back.

The method of returning the message is also very simple, but this method was put forward by himself, the animal messenger. Of course, this is not a new method, but a method of using the devil-as early as the year of the cave beast, the Cruzians have used this to convey information in the November war, but it is still rare in this era. Some people think of sending wizards to the front line, so this method is far from spreading in this era.

But until the outbreak of the Black Rose War, a few years later, the first wave of magic arrived, and the number of people with wizard talent increased day by day, and this approach gradually spread.

In the latter part of the war, this was already a very mature method. But at that time, there were more stable alternatives—for example, using magical instruments, but Brando didn't have this condition yet, so he thought of this ‘earlier method’ for the first time.

With animal messengers passing information, the range of an apprentice passing information is about one day and one night. Theoretically, the information is transmitted back and forth through the station. The information that used to be delayed for almost a week is now only a short time to reach the fir collar.

However, now the Tiger Sparrow and Shire have limited manpower, especially those who have the ability to cast spells and are familiar with scouting skills are rare. Therefore, the eyeliner team has actually established two or three so far.

As a result, their surveillance of the Palas Cavalier was actually quite limited, and Brando hadn't expected that with this level of surveillance he would get useful news so quickly.

But now, it seems that the nobles still look down on them.

Perhaps enough attention has been paid to being an opponent of the war, but beyond the war, Palas has been negligent in preventing them.

However, this is also understandable. Although Brando has not many manpower today, but even exceeds the regular army of Eruin by means-although he does not have this consciousness, Sir Paras, a traditional soldier, can deal with headaches. Already.

Put wizards on the front line as scouts? To aristocrats, does this kind of thing seem like a human thing?

Only Brando, who is accustomed to this practice, will take it for granted. In fact, when he first proposed this idea, it was not only Antitina, who was always conservative, but even Sher was startled.
