Chapter 99 New School and Old School

In the early morning of June 28th, a large cargo magic locomotive quickly drove across a plain at the northern border of the Rulson Kingdom, and then slowly stopped on a flat ground outside the valley ahead.

Romon Regal, head of the San Joan Legion, one of the top ten elite legions of the Candela Empire, jumped down from the co-pilot position of a large magic freight locomotive in the middle, and rubbed his butt habitually, but found that his He didn't feel any soreness in his buttocks at all, so he couldn't help turning his head to look at the soft cotton pad on the co-pilot's seat, and curled his lips.

"Sure enough, it's much more comfortable to sit on this thing. The poor stubborn old guys are unwilling to admit such a fact. It's really sad."

After muttering something, Regal waved his hand and summoned an adjutant.

"Send scouts to investigate the situation in the valley ahead, and make sure there is no ambush."

The adjutant took the order to go, and after a while, a scouting team galloped past on fast horses.

Although the disastrous defeats in the previous two battles with the Rulson Kingdom led to self-reflection within the Kandela Empire military, and they paid more attention to the military magic machines that most people dismissed before, but the Kandela Empire Army The traditional forces of the army are extremely strong, and all the armaments are closely related to the interests of many people. There is a lot of pressure to reform, so it has always been a very troublesome problem to change the army.

Moreover, there are more than 500,000 regular troops under the Candela Empire's military department. It is simply impossible to change their outfits all at once.

In addition, the production capacity of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been insufficient, and the control on the sale of military magic machinery has always been strict, so the Kandela Empire Army has not been able to purchase enough military magic machinery to equip its major legions.

In recent years, the Candela Empire has embarked on the road of self-development after obtaining some related technologies of military magic machinery from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and has indeed successfully developed a military magic machinery based on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. A series of military magic machinery, and has entered the stage of mass production.

With these things, the Candela Empire has the confidence to turn against the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

But this is still far from enough to meet the huge needs of the major legions under the military department, so that the major legions in the Candela Empire are in a strange state, that is, traditional bows, arrows, knives, horses, carriages, etc. It looks very chaotic mixed with all kinds of new military magic machinery and large freight magic locomotives and other magic machinery.

This is also a matter of no choice. The military department cannot meet the requirements of all legions, so they can only allocate a little according to the situation.

"Hey. Only that idiot Antusol will hold on to the old ideas and refuse to change, and now he's dead with no bones left..."

Thinking of this, a contemptuous smile crossed the corner of Regal's mouth.

In the military headquarters of the Candela Empire, there are actually quite a few people like Earl Antusol who refuse to accept new things and still insist on the old concept of war. Those who are willing to accept change like Reger call it old school, and they are new school.

Prior to this, the old faction and the new faction had a slight advantage in the comparison of forces in the military.

But this time, after the Glorious Legion led by Earl Antusol was almost completely annihilated, the old faction lost their voices instantly, and the new faction quickly took control of the military headquarters. occupy the vast majority.

Regal is the most active of the new factions. This time he took the initiative to ask for military service, and led his San Joan Legion as the main force of the third front army, and invaded the Luerson Kingdom from the north of the Luerson Kingdom.

If it is a traditional old school general. Although we will be vigilant when encountering valleys and other places like now, and send out scouts to detect if there is an ambush, but they will definitely not be as careful as Regal, who is more than two kilometers away from the valley. scout.

If the old school generals knew about it, they might laugh at Regel for being too timid.

However, Regal knew very well that the distance he chose was not at all because he was timid, but because he knew very well that the army of the Rulson Kingdom was equipped with a large number of magic artillery.

The attack distance of the magic artillery can easily exceed two kilometers, or even three kilometers.

Even at this distance, it is not 100% safe.

So to make sure nothing goes wrong. Regal had to be a little more careful.

Watching the scouting teams climbing up the cliffs on both sides of the valley from afar, Regal couldn't help but shook his head and cursed in a low voice.

"Damn, those cheapskates in the military department. Why are you so reluctant to buy some magic airships? If I have dozens of them now... oh no, even if there is only one magic airship. Then just send the magic airship there Just take a look, there is no need for such trouble, send scouts over..."

Regal suddenly looked back to the center of the army, where a gorgeous carriage stood conspicuously surrounded by a group of soldiers, looking very abrupt.

in the carriage. He is the leader of the accompanying magicians of St. Joan's Legion, and a Yale great magician with the strength of a fourth-level great magician.

Regal hesitated for a moment, then walked quickly to the side of the carriage.

"Your Excellency Yale, may I ask you to make a move?" Regel asked into the carriage with a respectful expression.

Although he is the head of the San Joan Legion, the magician system has always been independent of the military system and is not under the jurisdiction of the military generals.

What's more, the great magician of Yale is a fourth-level great magician. He belongs to one of the top magicians in the Candela Empire except for the nine great magicians. His status is much higher than that of Regel, the legion leader.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing the wrinkled face of the great magician of Yale.

"Shot?" The great magician of Yale frowned slightly, with a puzzled expression. "I haven't met the enemy yet, what do you want me to do?"

Regal smiled and explained: "It's like this, Your Excellency the Great Mage, I'm worried that the enemy will set up an ambush ahead, and there may be magic traps in it, so I hope you can conduct a magic detection and look at the valley ahead Are there any magic traps or something in there?"

The great magician of Yale leaned out of the carriage, glanced at the valley in the distance, and frowned again.

"Didn't you send scouts over there?"

"The scouts can only see if anyone is ambushing, but they can't find any magic traps." Regal shook his head.

"Then you don't need me to go there in person, do you?" The Yale magician waved his hand impatiently, glanced back, flicked his finger, and a fiery red light shot out, landing on another ordinary-looking car behind the array. On top of the carriage.

A moment later, a young magician in his thirties flew over wearing a magic robe.

"Master Yale, do you have any orders?" The young magician asked the great magician of Yale very respectfully.

The great magician of Yale pointed to the valley in the distance: "Go and see if there are any magic traps set there, our lord of the legion is not at ease."

Regal's face changed slightly, but he nodded immediately, and said to the young magician, "Yes. In addition, I also hope that you can investigate the situation around the valley, do you understand what I mean?"

Regel didn't need to be so polite to this young magician who was only a seventh-level magician.

Naturally, it was impossible for the young magician to refuse like the great Yale magician. After answering, he flew to the valley.

"My lord, I understand your cautiousness, but isn't your current behavior a little too cautious?" the great magician of Yale said suddenly.

Regal cursed in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face, and replied: "On the military formation, there is nothing wrong with being careful."

The great magician of Yale shook his head: "You are really not as domineering as other soldiers I have seen, they..."

"boom--"

A violent explosion suddenly sounded from a distance, planning the words of the great magician of Yale.

The expressions of the two changed, and they looked in the direction of the explosion, but saw a cloud of smoke and dust rising with the fire in the valley in the distance, as if they had just experienced an explosion.

"This..." The great magician of Yale looked a little ugly.

He was accusing Regel of being too cautious just now, and now there was an explosion in the valley, which hit him in the face.

At this time, Regal had no time to pay attention to the thoughts in the mind of the great magician of Yale. He took a closer look at the valley in the distance, and his expression changed drastically.

After the explosion, boulders kept falling from the cliffs on both sides of the valley, and the sound of rumbling was endless. From time to time, there were several consecutive explosions, which caused more boulders to fall.

In the blink of an eye, the road in the valley, which was originally nearly ten meters wide, was filled with countless boulders, completely blocking the way.

"Great Sorcerer of Yale, I'm afraid I really have to ask you to take action this time." Regal smiled wryly.

"Huh?" The great magician of Yale did not dare to refuse directly this time, but raised his eyebrows as a signal.

"I don't think anyone has the ability to clear a path from there except you yourself. And... I'm afraid there are other traps in there."

The great magician of Yale glanced at the situation in the valley and nodded silently.

The place where they are advancing is bet by a mountain range, and there is only this valley within 50 kilometers nearby to pass through. If they don't go from here, they will take a detour, at least it will take several hours, and it will seriously delay the opportunity. .

And to clear a road from the collapsed valley, of course ordinary magicians can't do it, and only he, the only great magician, can do it.

"Okay, I'll check the situation first. If you find out that there are no traps, you can send some people over. I need someone to help clean up the debris."

"it is good."

The great magician of Yale confessed, his body shook, he flew into the air, and flew towards the distant valley at a high speed.

Just halfway through the flight, several fiery red rays of light pierced the sky on the left and right sides at the same time, flying towards the direction of the San Joan Army. (~^~)
