Chapter 108 Wisdom

  The airship brigade arrived earlier than expected. On the seventh day after the spirit beasts invaded, seven airships assembled in Snake Head Town.

  Then flew towards Cuihai Valley.

   "Masters of the Arcana, I will bring back the black jade scorpion's pincers to commemorate the people who died in the town." Aunt Abi put her hands on her chest while eating lunch, praying to the spirituality, "Let us bless the soldiers who went out to return victorious."

   "It will!" Levine prayed together.

  Duke did not eat with them, but ate alone on the second floor. As the boss and a practitioner, his dishes must be much richer.

   After eating.

  Duke is in the breeding room, practicing blood refining method with Xiaodou, strengthening his fighting spirit, strengthening his body, and promoting development.

  He is only sixteen years old, and his body is still developing.

  I was 1.75 meters when I crossed last year, but now I am almost 1.8 meters tall. In Heijiaohe, 1.8 meters is considered a normal male height.

   "Xiaoyi, report the progress of solidification."

   "Good master, the current curing level is 16.3%, and the time budget is 49 days."

  The budget is 49 days, but actually there is no need for so many days, because Duke will solidify the spiritual core himself during the day, which is much more efficient than Xiaoyi.

"keep it up!"

  Already eager to be promoted to the 1st Ring Arcane Mage as soon as possible, Duke wants to master the power even more after experiencing the farm insect swarm and the spirit beast invasion one after another.

  Only an arcanist can deal with those powerful spirit beasts.

  Time soon entered August, the hottest season of the year, and Duke spent almost all his time on the farm solidifying his spiritual core.

  News of the battle for the development of Cuihai Valley are also coming in.

  The phantom projected by the front of the airship brigade finally has the latest explanation, which is the projection ring method of the arcanist.

  A great arcane mage with ring 4 and above can use an incredible method.

  Copy your own ring and make it into a temporary mental avatar. If necessary, you can use your mind to control the copied ring and simulate yourself to fight.

  Although he can't exert 100% of his strength, he can still exert about 50% of his strength.

  The key is that there is no need to go to the battlefield in person, which is safe and efficient, so that the personal safety of the arcanist is fully protected.

   "So, this is also a kind of arcane?" Duke thought to himself.

  With the help of the ring of projection, the airship brigade rampaged in Cuihai Valley, hunting and killing an unknown number of spirit beasts. Especially when high-level spirit beasts were hunted by the airship brigade, the ground knights and mercenary groups started hunting down low-level spirit beasts.

   Killed Cuihaigu blood into rivers.

   It also pushes forward the progress of the pioneering war by a large margin.

   "It is estimated that the Cuihai Valley will be pacified in a few years." Duke saw the battle report from the front line and felt that the war was progressing rapidly.

   In the Black Snake Lair Exploitation War that took place 20 or 30 years ago, there was no big killer like the airship brigade. The 3rd-ring Arcane Mage Mubia was the leader of the expansion war at that time.

  That's why it took more than ten years of fighting to completely suppress the Black Snake's lair.

  Thus enfeoffing nobles and establishing market towns.

  The spiritual spring of the Black Snake's lair back then did not generate spiritual mines around it, and could not attract too powerful arcanists.

   Today's spiritual spring of Cuihai Valley has confirmed that there are spiritual mines distributed in order to attract the 4th ring Earth Arcane Master Bernoulli and many Arcane Masters with airships. These arcane masters also want to dig the spiritual mine earlier, so they will work so hard.

   "Sure enough, profit is the driving force for progress."

  He pays attention to the war, but does not participate in the war, and guards the small Duke farm to live a stable life.

  One afternoon, Captain Zina, who hadn’t seen her for a long time, suddenly rushed to the villa, and when she saw Duke, she asked, “Has your card repairer friend come back?”

  At this time, Captain Zina looked a lot haggard.

   Looks a few years older.

   "Not yet, what's the matter?" Duke asked.

   "Forget it, it's nothing, I hope I'm still alive when he comes back." Zina was a little disappointed, but her tone was still free and easy.

  Duke couldn't help frowning: "What's going on? Didn't the frontline war go smoothly? It stands to reason that you all made a lot of money, so you should be happy."

   "People die for money, birds die for food, isn't that the end of being a mercenary..." Laughing at herself, Zina revealed the whole story, "All the mercenary regiments stationed in the town have been reorganized by the Shenjiao City Command, and they must accept unified dispatch and are not allowed to leave privately."

   "Is that so..."

  The mercenary group can be regarded as a kind of private part, sponsored and supported by the benefactor behind it, and go to various places to take risks to obtain resources.

  Essentially not subject to local control, but the pioneering war is issued by the United Tower, and the command headquarters to recruit nearby mercenary regiments is just a matter of order.

  Whoever dares to disobey will have no place in the Seven Towers Federation.

   "The headquarters reorganizes you, what exactly is it going to do? Launch a decisive battle against Cuihai Valley?"

   "Hehe, how is it possible? Do you know that giant black jade scorpion? It has been identified as a 7-ring spirit beast by several arcane masters accompanying the airship team. A 7-ring spirit beast means that its life level has transformed to an unknown height, and it is too difficult to kill it!"

   Ring 1, Ring 2, and Ring 3 belong to ordinary spirit beasts; Ring 4, Ring 5, and Ring 6 belong to advanced spirit beasts.

  This division is very similar to that of an arcanist, and the 7-ring spirit beast has evolved to this level, and its life level has surpassed most people's cognition.

   "Is it impossible to kill the 7th ring?"

   "It's not that they can't be killed, but it's too difficult to kill, so after hunting down three 5-ring black jade scorpions, the airship brigade turned around and prepared to wipe out the crypt marching ants all over the ground."

  If you can't kill the most powerful spirit beast in Cuihai Valley in the early stage, you will turn to hunt and kill the crypt marching ants that get in the way. Then it will take a few years to slowly cut off the bottom spirit beasts in Cuihai Valley, and finally fight the most powerful spirit beasts. This is basically a fixed routine for every pioneering war.

  Every arcanist in the Seven Towers Federation is the cornerstone of the country and will never be wasted in ordinary battles.

  Duke continued to ask: "Captain Zina, it's just clearing up the army ants in the crypt. With the help of the airship brigade and the Mylabris Legion, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

   "Big problem!"

"Um?"

   "Our mercenary fighting methods are either building traps or flying kites, and rarely hunt directly. But the noble arcan masters only want to wipe out the crypt army ants. This is to use our mercenary group as cannon fodder to block the crypt army ants' retreat!"

   "Shouldn't this be done just to exterminate the army ants in the crypt?" Duke said suddenly.

  Zina raised her brows immediately: "Your sense of smell is quite keen. Indeed, I also think that the purpose of the higher-ups is not for this. Looking at the current posture of the headquarters, it seems to be hunting down something."

   "Hunting what?"

   "I don't know, maybe it's an ant with a brain, otherwise how could they attack the physalis blood fruit in the farm area."

  Duke heard the words, and asked curiously: "Can spirit beasts give birth to wisdom?"

   "Maybe, maybe not, who knows, anyway, I raised a shepherd dog before, and I feel that it is smarter than me."
