Chapter 240 Chapter 210 FUCK!

In the barracks outside Loulan City, Du Wei had already set off with twenty-eight students.General Longbottom personally led a thousand cavalry to join this "internship" in the Northwest. Because Du Wei's idea is very simple: these magician students will be used as combat talents in the future, and he doesn't want his students to become the kind of pedants who only stay in the magic laboratory.What he needs is to be able to truly cooperate with the army and play a real role in the battle, and in Du Wei's conception, he hopes to find out the most efficient mode of "cooperative combat" between the army and magicians.

After rigorous physical training, these magic students have very strong bodies. Du Wei equipped each of them with a set of equipment that has subverted the tradition of magicians in the eyes of ordinary people: No one has a war horse, and they have given up the traditional magician robes that represent their identity. Each of them wears a high-quality half-body leather armor, and is also equipped with a light long sword as a self-defense weapon, and a magic booster ring , Du Wei even paid out of his own pocket to equip each of these students with a magic wand, all of which were made of fairly good quality walnut wood—of course, these precious walnut trees made Du Wei exhaust his last bit A reserve of "time-passing springs".

For these magic apprentices who are still rookies, everyone can get a high-quality walnut wand, which is really an incomparable surprise!You must know that even in the magic union, those who are qualified to use walnut wood wands are at least intermediate magicians.After these little rookies got the wands, they were very excited and couldn't put it down. They even wiped them carefully back and forth with their sleeves. "Listen up, everyone." Du Wei turned over and stood on the horse, and said loudly: "I will give you the best! The best magic wand, the best equipment! But whether you are worthy of these things depends on the You have worked hard! I hope that after this internship in Northwest, each of you can be worthy of what you have in your hands! Moreover, I can also tell you first, as long as your performance in the future can satisfy me... I will also equip you with some extra surprises!"

Looking at the eager eyes below, Du Wei then announced a decision, and this decision made everyone doubt: Du Wei asked these magic apprentices, in the next few days of practice, they must try their best to cooperate with the accompanying army! "What you have to do is to cooperate with them as much as possible! Cooperate with them in combat, follow the orders of General Longbottom, do your best, and think of all ways to meet his requirements... Maybe even some things that you think Very unreasonable request! Do you understand?" Magician to cooperate with those soldiers? The order was indeed unexpected.

Because the magic of the Roland Empire is prosperous, the status of magicians is noble, and the number is rare. Although magicians will also serve the empire during the empire's wars, how noble is the status of magicians?They are not the kind of people who come and go when they are called!During the battle, magicians mainly fight on their own. Although they can also rely on their own powerful strength to cause huge damage to the enemy, in Du Wei's view, such efficiency is extremely low!These magicians lack cooperation and often fight on their own without coordination, which greatly wastes the role of magicians.

Don't expect these master magicians to cooperate with the army's operations. Most of them act according to their mood. When they are in a good mood, they will help you with a little effort. When they are in a bad mood, they may withdraw and leave.Not only did the army not get stable and lasting support, but they had to serve these magician lords as if they were lords. Du Wei's concept is to let these magicians change their usual habits.It is unreasonable to let these magicians blindly cater to the army's demands unconditionally, but in order to correct the uncle's habits of the magicians, such overcorrection is also a very effective means in the short term.

Even Longbottom was a little uncomfortable with Du Wei's advanced concept. Although he was a senior military officer in the empire and commanded tens of thousands of people, he never had dozens of magicians to obey his orders.He was at a loss for a while. After being pulled over by Du Wei, the 250th general smiled wryly, then coughed hard, and said loudly: "Okay! Then from now on, I won't see you Become a magician! In my opinion, you are a soldier under my command! Then you must obey my orders! I will treat you equally, don’t expect any preferential treatment from me! If anyone violates my military order, Then I will whip you too! Got it!"

These words are extremely bold. If Longbottom dares to say such words to other magicians, I am afraid they will turn their faces and leave on the spot. If they encounter a bad-tempered magician, they may have to give the general a little bit of trouble eat. But fortunately, these rookies have undergone strict brainwashing by Du Wei, and Du Wei has great prestige in their hearts.And before they entered the Magic Academy, they were also members of the army, and it seemed normal to them to obey military orders.Everyone responded loudly. "Then, let's go!" Longbottom ordered loudly: "Basic marching ranks! The magician team is at the end...before it gets dark, we will rush to Niuli Town under the Kilimaro Mountains. We will get supplies there , and then you have no time to rest, we will enter the Kilimaro Mountains overnight! Boys... the monsters in the mountains are waiting for us! They will obediently offer their furs and magic cores!"

After going on the road, Longbottom and Du Wei walked side by side, complaining in a low voice: "Boss, you have given me a problem... so many magicians listen to me... I don't know what to do. God, I'm afraid I'm the only general in the empire who can have so many magician subordinates." "You will get used to it." Du Wei smiled slightly: "Everything is just the beginning, we still need to explore slowly." ... After a day of rapid march, these magician apprentices persevered. After all, they had maintained their physical training. General Longbottom was pleasantly surprised by this performance.Like most generals in the empire, he both hates and loves magicians.What I love is the powerful strength of the magicians, but I hate it because these powers cannot be freely controlled.Looking at these obedient magicians, who can grit their teeth and persevere, and execute their own military orders meticulously - what else can they expect from such subordinates?

Du Wei glanced at the young master of the Liszt family. Muse was exhausted, but when Du Wei's eyes drifted to him, he still tried his best to straighten his chest and refused to show weakness at all. Hmph, what a proud boy.Du Wei secretly smiled. Niuli Town is a town in the south of Mount Kilimaro. There is a unique terrain on the south side of the mountain. The slope is not steep, but relatively gentle. It is the best place to enter the mountain.The town's population is less than a thousand people, and Longbottom has brought people here before, so the terrain and environment are relatively familiar, so he added some fodder here, and he was ready to enter the mountain.

"According to our information, within about a hundred miles of here, there may be monsters infested." Longbottom introduced: "When we came here last time, I heard from the local people that there will be a monster here every spring. A kind of thing called a monster by the locals came to the town to harass the signatures here. According to their description, this kind of monster is small in size and quick in movement. It comes here every spring and hurts the livestock in this town. Several hunters tried to hunt it down, but unfortunately they all failed... That guy is said to be able to breathe fire, and when he escapes, he can burrow into the ground." "Your Excellency, we need more information before we can determine what kind of monster it is." A magic apprentice said boldly: "Obviously this is a fire-type monster, but it is small in size, quick in movement, and can vomit. Flame, and it can also drill into the ground... These characteristics are too vague. Based on these characteristics, I can think of at least seven kinds of monsters that meet these conditions. There are fire-type earth dragons and Tutuer Ear rats, sharp-toothed raccoon... These things, each monster has a different way of dealing with them. We need more information before we can make the best plan to deal with this thing." The other students nodded, and some even made a list of suspects clearly.Du Wei is very satisfied with the reaction of these students. Under his influence, these guys have learned the most important thing: efficiency! At this moment, a shrill voice suddenly said: "You have so many magicians, are you still worried about a little monster? We have thousands of cavalry, so many magicians... Hmph, there is also the Duke who is so famous in the mainland!" Is it possible that such a small magical beast makes you afraid... Maybe you are too careful..." There was obvious disdain and mockery in this tone, and it was implicitly accusing Du Wei and others of lack of courage. After the boy Muse couldn't help but say these few words, he immediately regretted secretly in his heart, but for some reason, he couldn't help but feel unhappy when he saw Du Wei. Inside and outside, I couldn't help but want to stab the other party a few words. After these few words were spoken, Du Wei hadn't said anything yet, and the magic students glared at the boy one by one, glaring at him.Some people couldn't help shouting: "What are you, dare to accuse Mr. Dean!" Muse had just blurted out a few words at first, and regretted it a bit, but when someone asked him, he was the proud son of the Liszt family, from being cautious and arrogant, how could he respect others?Couldn't help but said again: "Hmph, a famous great magician is afraid of a little magic beast, and speaks out... Hehe, I'm not slandering anyone, but I'm afraid I will be ridiculed. Look at it this way Come on... hmph, who really trained and trained the subordinates... they are all cautious, like walking on thin ice." The bystanders immediately became furious at this ignorant kid, seeing that Muse had aroused public outrage.Du Wei coughed lightly, and immediately everyone silenced, but they stared at this kid with pairs of eyes. "Mr. Muse." Du Wei pondered for a moment, his face didn't seem to show any joy or anger, and said lightly: "Courage or cowardice are nothing more than other people's evaluation. To behave in the world, it is good to have a clear conscience, why bother about those things?" Scarlet words? Since you are so brave, then I can't suppress your virtue... How about this, when we enter the mountain later, we just need a few outposts in front of the road. Since you are willing to show your bravery, it must be so You won't want to let go of this opportunity." At this moment, the sky is getting dark. In Niuli Town, overlooking Mount Kilimaro in the distance, the top of the mountain is softly covered with snow, and the continuous peaks are straight into the sky.The green is only seen under the mountainside, but it is a forest, stretching as far as the eye can see... It's just that the green is in the night, but it oozes a bit of faint darkness. Muse couldn't help feeling a little nervous, but her mouth was still strong: "The outpost is the outpost, what am I afraid of, Muse!" After speaking, he pulled the rein and walked forward.Du Wei stopped him, and Muse said angrily, "Do you have anything else to say, Lord Duke!" "Mr. Muse, the mountain road is difficult, are you going to ride up the mountain like this?" Du Wei smiled. "Hmph!" Muse blushed, but under the cover of the night, the blush only flashed past, and then said stubbornly: "Who said I want to ride up the mountain, I just walked forward casually." Du Wei didn't want to embarrass the Liszt boy too much. After all, he and the Liszt family have a good relationship at present.Then he ordered a few of his subordinates to help the boy lead the horse to rest. Those magic students didn't bother to pay attention to this kid. After more than 20 people got off their horses, they scattered in the town in order according to what they learned in the magic academy, looking for traces left by monsters, and careful people , and ran to the local residents to inquire about the news. After all, General Longbottom got the news from those soldiers. Many details were not understood by those soldiers, so they had to ask themselves. Some people even proposed to look at the corpses of the livestock that were killed by the monsters. Fortunately, the weather here in the northwest is cold, and many dead livestock corpses have not rotted. Seeing these noble magicians not shy away from being dirty, and personally inspecting the bloody livestock corpses, no one will frown in disgust. Everyone checked by themselves with a very professional attitude, and some even took out a knife to cut it by themselves, not avoiding blood. The soldiers next to them looked strange - in their impression, magicians were noble people, bigger than those noble lords, how could they do such dirty work?Even Du Wei was very satisfied with the performance of these students. It is important to be pragmatic and humble! Soon, the students made rough estimates. "Master Dean." A leader of the students came to report: "We found a clue. All the corpses of livestock that were bitten to death have the same characteristic... a lot of blood loss. The monster obviously sucked the blood of the livestock. What's more, none of these corpses were sucked dry. Obviously, that magical beast has a very distinctive habit: it probably only likes to eat the blood of living animals. When it dies naturally, it stops sucking blood, and then runs to find the next prey. Therefore, it seems that each corpse has lost a lot of blood, but the blood has not been completely sucked dry. After the corpse is stiff, the body There are still a large number of coagulated blood clots in the body, we cut several corpses, opened the blood vessels, and came to this conclusion." Du Wei was very satisfied: "What else?" "Also..." The student thought for a while: "We have a disagreement, well, the pair of brothers raised a point, but I don't think it's possible." "Oh?" Du Wei remembered the pair of brothers - among the thirty-two students in the Hogwarts branch, thirty were from the military, and there were only two exceptions.This is a pair of brothers born in a declining noble family, but because they are illegitimate children without a status (mentioned earlier). This pair of brothers are the youngest among the students at Hogwarts, because the other students are all selected by the army, and most of them are already eighteen years old.But these two guys are about the same age as Du Wei.However, after several months of observation by Du Wei, these two people are the two most talented among this group of students. "Yes, they raised a point of view, but we have doubts about it. But we can't draw any conclusions about it, so we think it's better for you to ask them yourself." The captain of the student spoke objectively. This is also what Du Wei is very satisfied with. He treats every question rationally, without being arbitrary or brutally vetoing... just and objective.This is also a very important quality that Du Wei instilled in these students.He didn't want these people under him to become egomaniacs like traditional magicians. "Okay, let the two of them come over, I'll ask." Du Wei ordered.Just as the captain was about to leave, Du Wei suddenly remembered something and stopped him again: "Wait a minute, Ziggy." Zig was the captain's name, and he was the leader of the students from the army.A rigorous and fair person, although his talent is not the best, but his organizational ability and prestige convince other students. "Master Dean, what else is there?" "Zig." Du Wei pondered for a while, and said slowly: "I noticed that in your words just now, you used the word 'those brothers', right?" "...Yes." Zieg seemed to understand Du Wei's meaning. Du Wei looked into his eyes, and said seriously: "I think, on weekdays, when you people talk about the two of them, you also say the same...The pair of brothers...Well. I know, you guys Thirty people are all from the army, and two of them are not. There is a solidarity among the thirty of you, but this kind of unity makes it difficult for outsiders to get in. I don't want to criticize you, just want to tell you, This kind of unity has advantages, but it also has disadvantages. What I want to say to you is: Maybe in the future you people may go to different places, or go to different places to do different things, and it will not be like this Gathering together, it will not be a group like it is now... But now! Now! You are all members of our college! When outsiders mention you, they will regard you Hogwarts students as a whole, my words , Do you understand? Unity is good, but exclusion is bad. I hope you can think carefully about this." Zieg immediately said solemnly: "Dean, I understand! I didn't do my duty! I will try my best!" "Very well. From now on, I don't want to hear 'that pair of brothers' from outsiders. In my opinion, you are all the same, you are all your own, and you are all a group." "Yes, Dean!" Zieg stood up straight involuntarily, and he was about to leave when he suddenly said another sentence. "Mr. Dean..." Zieg's voice was not loud, but he was very firm: "I think...we don't want to go our separate ways in the future. Everyone's wish is to be able to follow you, Mr. Dean. This is not My own thoughts." Zig turned and left, while Du Wei sighed softly. He believed that this steady young man would understand what he meant. Soon, the pair of brothers were called in front of Du Wei. Du Wei looked at the two nervous guys and smiled and said, "Okay, can I eat people? When you were drinking the night before yesterday, didn't you Stop pouring me." The two laughed immediately. "I remember you are the elder brother, right?" Du Wei looked at the slightly fatter one. "Yes, Dean, my name is Beibei, and this is my younger brother Thor." Du Wei said with a smile: "Okay, no need to introduce yourself, do you think I won't be able to remember the names of my students? Now, tell me the results of your discussion. I heard that you have put forward some analysis, right?" "Yes, Dean." Beibei said: "We think that there may not be one monster haunting here, but two...two monsters acting together. However, from our point of view, most of the students not agree." Du Wei nodded.He could imagine why. Because most of the monsters live alone, only a few of them have the habit of living in groups.Like the dreaded griffins of the south.However, the vast majority of monsters live alone. "Moreover, the two of us even suspect...these may be two different types of monsters, one of the fire type and the other of the ice type." "Oh?" Du Wei became interested. Living in groups is already very rare in Warcraft.Groups of different species are even rarer.Not to mention monsters, even those that live in groups among ordinary animals will only live in groups with their own kind. What's more, a fire-type monster, and an ice-type monster?Fire and ice are almost natural enemies!It's like cat and mouse. Have you ever seen a cat and a mouse live together? "Tell me your reason." Du Wei pondered for a while. "Dean, this idea was proposed by my younger brother, let him talk about it." Beibei pushed the matter to his younger brother. Thor looked like a shy boy at first glance. He was thin, tall, fair and clean. In terms of temperament, he was somewhat similar to Du Wei, but when he spoke, he was not as shy as he looked. Very calm: "Dean, I really came up with it... I dissected several corpses, especially the blood of these livestock was sucked, which made me a little confused. Because according to what we have learned, there are very few fire-type monsters. Blood-sucking. Of course, there are not none. However, most of the fire-type monsters that suck blood are very small. But I saw wounds on several corpses. Judging from the traces of teeth, this should be a Not a small guy, at least as big as the Ice and Snow Demonic Wolf. This does not match the information that the residents here said that the monster was small. Moreover, judging from the number of dead livestock... this blood-sucking beast I’m afraid the monster eats a lot! If it’s a small thing, it can’t suck so much blood, so I think it should be a big one. Also… I extracted a blood clot that had clotted and checked it carefully. It was found that the blood clots were not naturally congealed after the death of the animal, but... there were traces of freezing. So I think, the villagers said that the monster they saw was a small thing, but my inspection, I concluded that there was a big one ...Then, there should be two of them! There is a division of labor between these two things, the little one is responsible for spitting fire and killing livestock, while the big one sucks blood." "Cooperation?" Du Wei asked. "I don't think it's cooperation...but like, um...slavery." Thor said cautiously: "I suspect that it may be that the ice-type monster is a high-level guy, and it captured a fire-type monster as its own. Subordinates, and then be driven by it to catch prey for it." Thor said with a wry smile: "But this guess, I think it's a little impossible. Because any guy who can enslave other monsters, It is something advanced, although there are monsters in Mount Kilimaro, it is not a place where monsters are frequently touched, and there should be no high-level monsters here." "In this world, nothing is impossible." Du Wei pouted. Even the old fellow Aragorn, who died for a thousand years, can leave a message in Chinese to himself a thousand years later... What else is impossible? Thor's guess is really incredible. High-level monsters do have the ability to summon and enslave other monsters, such as the ice and snow wolf. After evolution, the highest level can become the ice and snow wolf king.The wolf king's howl can summon all monsters lower than his own level in the covered area for him to drive. However, Du Wei first ruled out the possibility of the Ice and Snow Wolf King, because although the Wolf King is powerful, he has no habit of sucking blood.Moreover, the howling of the wolf king will not just summon a monster as his subordinate. It's just... If it is really a guy who can summon and drive other monsters, then it must be a high-level monster!A high-level monster is not something that the rookies under him can deal with.They may be able to deal with ordinary monsters, but when they encounter an advanced one, they have no choice but to escape. Even Du Wei himself, with his real strength now, if he encounters a high-level monster, the best choice is to retreat. "Cancel the original order. Let's stay in the town for one night and not go into the mountains." Du Wei ordered immediately. After hearing Du Wei's order, Longbottom came to ask.Du Wei explained the guesswork of his magic apprentices.But this general obviously underestimated the power of Warcraft, maybe... After all, he is not a magician, and only magicians understand the power of real high-level Warcraft. "We have thousands of cavalry and so many magicians, can't we take down one or two monsters?" Du Wei was very serious, and he lowered his voice: "General, I must tell you that these magic students are not real magicians, they haven't graduated yet. Moreover, they are all my precious wealth...I will not let them Losing here in vain, even if I lose one, is unbearable for me! Do you understand? Second... the power of high-level monsters, I'm afraid you don't have an exact understanding. I can tell you that high-level monsters may It does not have strong magical power, but most of the high-level monsters have summoning skills. If conditions permit, it can summon an army of monsters for it to drive... Moreover, the most difficult thing about high-level monsters is... It has evolved and has some intelligence! It is no longer a mindless beast! We are here to practice, not to fight. I will not be cowardly, but it seems stupid to me not to sacrifice necessary." However, Du Wei added in his mind: Most of the high-level monsters themselves do not have too strong magic power...except for the woman Medusa! Longbottom obeyed Du Wei's order.Then Du Wei ordered to cancel the detection post entering the mountain.This order gave Muse another chance to play. He unceremoniously mocked Du Wei's actions with sharp words. "Then, I invite you, a warrior, to watch for us tonight." Du Wei said lightly.After dismissing this annoying boy, Du Wei had to order the other night watchmen to watch this guy carefully. "Just let him suffer a little bit, but don't let him suffer any real harm." ... That night, Du Wei also ordered the twenty-eight students to be divided into four groups. After dawn, each of the four groups with two hundred soldiers would go into the mountain in four directions to search, and the distance between each group should not be too large. Far away, once you find something, don't act without authorization, try to find a way to notify your companions first. But wait until dawn before you can act!Otherwise, going into the mountains at night to deal with a high-level ice-type magical beast would simply be courting death. Although it might be a bit of a fuss to do so, Du Wei felt that it was necessary to be careful when facing a guy who might be a high-level monster. The students are very excited, because they have never really seen advanced monsters before!For these guys, advanced Warcraft only exists in legends, or in the explanations in the classroom. ... Before dawn, Du Wei had already got up, and he was about to go out, but the elder smoke knight, the guard outside, knocked on the door and came in.Lao Yan's expression was serious: "My lord, someone from the Duke's Mansion has come... saying that there is an urgent matter at home and I will report it to you face to face." "Oh?" Du Wei was stunned for a moment... Is there something wrong with the Marquise Liszt? It was none other than Little Sandy. Made is a very smart housekeeper. He faintly smelled something unusual from the fact that Hussein did not allow people to ask people from the temple to treat his injuries. The people who sent the messenger did not dare to let those ordinary servants go, but Let Du Wei's loyal subordinate Sandy come running.Poor little Sandy, in the past half a year, he has practiced well in equestrianism, but it still took a lot of time to catch up with this team of well-trained cavalry, and they arrived at dawn. Sandy brought a message and something. The message was relayed by Hussein, and Du Wei only took one look at that thing, and his face immediately changed drastically! "The reptiles in the north of the Frozen Forest are coming for revenge, hurry back!" These were Hussein's words. And what he brought was a piece of golden scales! This is obviously a broken scale, but even though it is broken, such a broken piece is as big as the mouth of a bowl!Holding it in the hand, it is heavy, and it is still faintly stained with blood! Du Wei recognized it immediately...it was a dragon scale! And this scale was pulled out from the wound on Hussein's back! Du Wei's face has changed! That old dragon, looking for revenge on himself?Does it disregard its oath? He got up suddenly, and was about to go back to the city immediately, at this moment, Longbottom suddenly rushed in from the door. "Boss, it's not good... The kid you brought, during the night watch last night, quietly ran up the mountain by himself..." Before Longbottom finished speaking, Du Wei was furious: "FUCK!!!!"
