Chapter 387: Sky City Mercenary Group's War Preparations

After Xingluo finished speaking, the high-ranking officials of the empire fell into silence. Even the great nobles were stunned. They only knew that Xingluo was a powerful magician, but they did not expect that he had such a deep understanding of cavalry. Their liking for him increased instantly, and they all took his hands and began to chat enthusiastically.

Leonard, the Imperial Lion, looked at Xingluo with even greater respect. He asked Xingluo questions only because the other party was an honorable magician and an imperial noble, and was qualified to participate in the discussion, but he did not expect Xingluo to give any useful suggestions at all. Even ordinary magicians did not know much about military affairs.

But Xingluo seemed to be an exception. Not only was he well aware of the shortcomings of the cavalry, he even gave useful suggestions based on the current situation of the empire. It seemed that the other party was not just a magician. Leonard, the imperial lion, looked at Xingluo with surprise again. He was not unaware of these things and ideas, and he even knew more. However, he had not thought of some of the suggestions put forward by Xingluo before. After hearing what Xingluo said, he suddenly felt a lot less pressure.

If they were at a banquet at this moment, the endless praise would continue, but after all, preparations were being made for war here, and after the Empire Lion Leonard also praised Xingluo, everyone finally quieted down.

Xingluo felt a little embarrassed. These were all things he had searched out when he was free. If it weren't for his strong mental power, he would have forgotten all these things long ago. He found that magicians were still powerful. With the improvement of mental power, things that he had only seen once before were like imprinted in his mind. However, it was not all good. If it was some sad memories, he would remember them very clearly. Every time he recalled them, he felt the same way, as if he had experienced them again. If he was just an ordinary person, his fluid intelligence would continue to decline with age. The so-called fluid intelligence is a kind of cognitive ability based on physiology, such as perception, memory, calculation speed, reasoning ability, etc. It will reach its peak at the age of 30, and even decline year by year. However, magicians are completely different. Not only can their memory continue to improve, but they are also not restricted by age. Therefore, most elderly magicians are very knowledgeable and even give people the feeling of getting smarter and smarter.

Xingluo talked with these nobles for a while and then returned to the Sky City base. There were still many things to do here. Atlantis, Erwin, Caroline and Irene were busy dispatching the army. Although these people were trained normally, the mercenary group and the noble armed forces had never conducted joint operations, so they needed to take advantage of the time to run-in. On the logistics side, both sides had magicians and space storage rings, and they had stored a lot of food before the poisonous snow and cold weather, so there was no need to worry about not having enough food. It was convenient to have a storage ring. Xingluo subconsciously touched the ring on his finger.

Xingluo came to Xiaohei and said, "Xiaohei, don't attack the thirty dragons yet. Give them a surprise attack and try to achieve the best effect."

Xiao Hei said, "Don't worry, they've been listening to me lately. Wherever I go, their voices become much quieter."

Xiao Hei raised his chin deliberately after he finished speaking. Xing Luo saw this and knew that Xiao Hei might still be in adolescence and had the urge to show off. Xing Luo frowned and asked, "How about that shadow dragon? The one that was particularly lustful."

"There are no big things, but there are not many small things. However, it has no general impact. He can also join the battle at any time. Moreover, this shadow dragon seems to be interested in the priests of the Knights of Light. He clamors to go to the battlefield every day and says that he will teach those female priests a lesson." Xiao Hei said.

Xingluo's face turned dark and he almost cursed out loud. This shadow dragon was really a cause for concern.

As soon as Xingluo arrived, many dragons that had had interactions with Xingluo gathered around. After all, Xingluo had been busy running around for them. Compared to Xiaohei, they seemed to prefer getting along with Xingluo and treated Xingluo as a friend. After all, in this unfamiliar place, Xingluo played an indispensable role in the successful integration of these dragons into human society.

Xingluo looked at the red-bearded dwarves again. They were drinking. They said they couldn't drink so freely on the battlefield, so they drank some in advance. "Now all the equipment of the mercenary group is made by you. Thanks to you, they can protect themselves to the maximum extent on the battlefield. You have made an invaluable contribution. Come and have a drink."

Xingluo saw the red-bearded dwarves drinking, and he also started drinking. After all, for a strong man of his level, he could get drunk if he wanted to, and sober up when he didn't want to.

Xingluo left the dwarves who were still drinking and came to the forest elves, who were surrounded by beautiful women. These forest elves were maintaining their magic equipment. The sun shone through the windows of an ancient castle, and the elf archers and magicians were preparing for the upcoming battle. They were concentrating on maintaining their equipment, which had been with them for a long time. The air was filled with a tense and solemn atmosphere.

The archers sat in front of a hardwood workbench, holding a delicate longbow in their hands. They first wiped the bow with a piece of fine deerskin to ensure that every inch was clean. Then they took a small can of resin and carefully applied it to the bowstring to enhance its elasticity and durability. The archers' eyes were focused and sharp, and every movement was extremely precise and skilled.

At the same time, an elf magician stood in front of the bookshelf, her fingers gently brushing over the thick magic books, picking out several spells related to combat, she spread out a yellowed parchment scroll, and began to silently recite the spell, a faint blue light flickered at the tip of her wand. She carefully checked whether the wood of the wand was intact, to ensure that the magic energy contained in it was stable and smooth. Her eyes were deep, as if she was simulating the battle over and over in her mind.

Although everyone's actions were different, they all had the same purpose - to ensure that their weapons could perform to the maximum effect in battle. Their concentration and preparation were a respect for the danger they were about to face, and a commitment to their duties. In a corner of the castle, the beautiful bows and arrows and the magicians' graceful and gentle movements intertwined into a vivid picture that made Xingluo reluctant to interrupt.

Xingluo did not stop but came to the nest of Chimera and Hippogryph. The two races that were supposed to fight each other when they met lived in harmony in the Sky City Mercenary Group. This scene made Xingluo feel a long-lost beauty. In the deep forest of a vast area in the station, Chimera and Hippogryph shared the same habitat. The sunlight shone through the dense tree canopy, and mottled light and shadows danced on the ground, revealing a mysterious and tranquil atmosphere.
