Volume 1 Chapter 39: Hero Saves Beauty?
Lin Tian did not forget his promise to the knight yesterday, and he set out early in the morning on his swift horse, rushing towards the border village in the southeast direction. By noon, he had already arrived at the target village. For now, it has not been ravaged by the beastmen, a peaceful farm scene.
He spent a few loose silver coins and stayed at a farmhouse that looked very clean. These unsophisticated farmers, who had never seen the city, were initially afraid to accept their lord's gold coins and refused to take them. Later, they were forced to say that they could not accept gold coins because they were too heavy for them to bear, so they could only throw a few silver coins at them. Simple people, I hope they will always live a carefree and peaceful life!
Actually, he had already seen the blue and red dots on the strategic map, but they were still quite far away. Just as Lin Tian said to the knight earlier, he would absolutely not take the risk of pulling his troops deep into enemy territory, that was too dangerous, easy to attract the attention of the beastmen, if they went in too deep, once a encirclement was formed, it wouldn't be possible to rescue anyone, and he himself might not even make it out alive.
Let me add one more sentence, especially for this Long Gong Zhu. A 21st-century old house that completely lacks the concept of imperial power above all else. If you can be saved, then consider yourself lucky! If not, then it's your own bad luck! Then he showed off his charming smile again, Long Gong Zhu, I wonder if she's pretty? I wonder if she can eat well? Oh my!
He, who was still somewhat diligent, didn't slack off and made the most of the afternoon to inspect the border and find a good ambush point. Here there were forests and roads, his troops could deploy freely, what's more than 300 beastmen? I've taken down 3,000 wolf riders, why should I be afraid of you insignificant lot?
After carefully marking the location on the map, Lin Tian decided to return to the farmhouse to find a place to stay in the hotel. Because according to the map, these small dots moved quickly, but they wouldn't arrive until after 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, so he took the opportunity to rest for a while.
In order not to disturb the villagers, the Earl returned to the previous farmhouse, threw a gold coin and asked them to help prepare dinner and bedding. The master is going to have supper...
"Good morning! Roy!"
The spirited lord surprisingly greeted this lowly commoner, and the excited farmer had no idea how to respond. Fortunately, after finishing a simple porridge breakfast, this strange lord floated away without a destination.
The 6th day of the 4th week.
Because all the buildable troop buildings have been settled, now only special buildings can be built. The market, blacksmith shop, and magic guild only need to be built once, so now Lin Tian can only upgrade the magic guild.
"Upgraded the Elf Tribe's Magic Guild to 2nd Class! - 4000!" Remaining 73,500 gold.
Lin Tian entered the Magic Guild, and with ease, he began to learn all the second-tier magic of the earth, air, and water elements. He knew that among them, the most important one was the Thunderbolt Technique of the air element's second tier, which would take Lin Tian's single-target attack magic to a whole new level (other techniques will be mentioned later when they are used). However, the system suddenly poured cold water on his head again.
Tip: Since the hero hasn't learned intermediate wisdom, he can't learn second-tier magic! What the...?! Is this kind of setting really necessary? Wisdom is divided into 5 levels: primary, intermediate, advanced, expert, and master. It should correspond to the 5 layers of the Magic Guild, which is easy to understand!
From the strategic map, it can be seen that the target is not far from its own ambush point. The blue dot has decreased significantly compared to yesterday, while the red dot has hardly changed. Lin Tian can determine that the enemy's pursuit troops must not include wolf cavalry, and the speed is obviously not right.
A certain earl prepared to set up an ambush at a designated location, planning to devour the beastman pursuers in one bite. To prevent any potential leaks of his own information, he equipped himself with war shackles before the battle (this thing is a double-edged sword that prevents both sides from escaping). Normally, he wouldn't dare equip this thing, lest he himself couldn't escape; it's only when he's extremely certain of emerging victorious in one battle that he temporarily equips it before the fight.
He stared intently at the strategic map and his front, in a hidden spot, Lin Tian was slightly anxious for quite some time. Fortunately, he had the map as a reference, so he didn't need to go scouting all the time. When the blue dot almost completely overlapped with his own large green dot, a clear horseshoe sound suddenly came from the front. A group of knights were rapidly escorting one of their own, who was likely the princess, surrounded by over 10 knights, making it hard to see clearly. They were now only about 200 meters away from Lin Tian's predetermined ambush location.
Following that, a large group of pure-blooded beastmen warriors appeared in pursuit. In the sky, there were 4 eagle people warriors. These eagle people who could only fly at low altitudes were naturally scouts. It seemed that they should be borrowed by the pure-blooded beastmen for better pursuit of the princess.
Because the two sides were too close, more than a dozen knights in front suddenly opened up the road ahead, drew two beautiful arcs, and then gathered to charge towards the enemy behind, leaving only one lonely female knight continuing forward...
It was clear that all the royal knights were making their final charge, trying to buy the princess a little more time. At this moment, they were less than 100 meters away from Lin Tian's ambush point. He really wanted to stand up and remind these brave knights not to go to their deaths, but doing so would completely ruin his own ambush and turn it into a terrible encounter battle.
In just a moment of hesitation, the two sides collided, and the beastman army was stunned for a moment; in fact, everyone knew that this pause would not last long. Sure enough, although more than 10 4th to 5th level warriors who were exhausted, in front of hundreds of elite beastman warriors, they only managed to buy less than 1 minute...
Silently watching the female knight rushing past from above his head, Lin Tian withdrew his gaze, it's almost time to reap the harvest.
Suddenly, the sound of breaking air came, and a dozen or so arrows shot towards the four eagle human scouts flying low in the sky, instantly shooting them to death. A 6th-level Thunder Dragon Technique roared forward, charging into the most densely packed beast group at the front line. If the attack signal was normal, the originally quiet forest path suddenly moved simultaneously from all directions. From the woods, dozens of giant war ancient trees and a large number of golden unicorns rushed out; Silver Flying Horse Knights and Royal Lion Eagles flew in the sky, rows of arrows swept over from both sides, taking away the lives of many beastmen, and the Holy Knights led the heavy infantry to charge forward...
Equipped with the Warlock's Cuffs, the troops' strength completely surpassed that of this less-than-500-man army. Lin Tian was quite generous in this battle. He released Stone Skin on the front-row warriors and then focused on healing spells or directly forced heavily injured soldiers to retreat. The battle without suspense also ended without suspense.
Hint: A perfect victory! 500 enemies eliminated, total military strength of 1500!
Hint: Acquired 1500 gold. Remaining gold in treasury is 75000.
The female knight in front, who had only been concerned with escaping for her life, was also stunned by the huge commotion behind her, standing woodenly on the spot, speechless for a long time!
