Chapter 722 Infusion of Mana
It's different from the people who are preparing for the "Paying Day" with great anticipation.
The soldiers who were on the expedition at this time obviously couldn't keep up with this annual celebration.
"The whole army rests!"
In front of the army formation, Zhang William, who was riding a white horse and dressed in silver-blue armor, waved his hand to signal the army to stop advancing and take a break.
In this campaign to encircle and suppress the wood elves, Luo Ji unexpectedly made the elves king Zhang William the chief general.
And Luo Cheng, Li Ke and Halfen went out with the army as Zhang William's lieutenants.
This move surprised many people.
But after thinking about it, it makes sense.
Although Luo Cheng is now a general who can stand on his own, he is a cavalry general after all.
And as I said before, this battle is estimated to be dominated by guerrilla warfare in the forest.
The role of the cavalry is basically to swipe around the periphery, and at most, besiege and intercept the fleeing Wood Elves.
With Luo Cheng as the main general, with his position of arms, it is impossible to enter the main battlefield with complex terrain to conduct command operations.
Therefore, he is not suitable at all to be the commander-in-chief.
At the same time, under Luo Ji's command, Li Ke, the clan chief of the wolf clan, is now considered a veteran with sufficient qualifications.
However, he is better at conducting individual command operations, and his ability to coordinate the overall situation is slightly less.
Not to mention Halfin, there is definitely no qualifications, and as for the ability, it still needs to be honed.
After such a pass, the most suitable candidate is Zhang William, who is the elf king, isn't it?
No one can deny that among the generals who went on expedition with the army, the Elf King Zhang William is the most suitable leader at present.
During the rest of the army, Zhang William, as the main general, was naturally not idle.
I saw him sitting cross-legged on the ground.
Then stand his sword Breath of the Storm in front of him.
Then, he took out a fist-sized wind element magic crystal from his arms.
After bringing the wind magic crystal close to the wind magic core on Breath of the Storm, a magical scene happened.
I saw the slightly bleak magic core, but at this time it seemed to be alive, and a trace of brilliance began to emerge.
The movement here undoubtedly attracted the attention of many people.
Luo Cheng, Zhou Xian, Halfen, and Kargan all watched directly and unabashedly.
As for Li Ke, who is a werewolf, he stood a little further away.
Probably because of the nature of the race, orcs and elves always have an inexplicable feeling of disliking each other.
Since the formation of the army, Zhang William's elf troop and Li Ke's swift wolf warriors have restrained each other, so there has been no quarrel.
But it doesn't stop there.
They both keep a conscious distance from each other.
lest something unpleasant happen.
However, at this moment, Li Ke's eyes were still looking towards this side with curiosity.
At this point, Luo Cheng and the others are the same.
It's just that they looked more reckless.
A drop of cold sweat slowly fell from the corner of his forehead, and Zhang William felt a little uncomfortable being surrounded by a bunch of guys.
Finally, just bite the bullet and speak...
"What's the matter with you?"
"Lord Elf King, what are you doing now?"
Zhou Xian stared at the radiant wind magic core, and then asked curiously.
In this regard, after thinking about it, Zhang William simply explained it to them.
Anyway, during this whole process, he was also idle when he was idle.
Just to pass the time.
"I am now adding mana to the magic core on my sword."
During the conversation, Zhang William casually talked to everyone about some characteristics of magic weapons and magic cores.
As I said before, the magic core is actually the heart of the beast, and it is a half-life body.
After the mana inside is exhausted, even if you don't care about it, it will absorb the elements in the surrounding air that match its own attributes and replenish mana.
But this natural recovery process is actually very long.
Of course, this recovery speed is also related to the quality of the magic core itself and the concentration of the elements in the air.
If you directly throw it into the warehouse where the wind magic crystal is stored.
The reply speed can be at least twice as fast, and maybe even more.
Of course, the price of doing this is that many wind-type magic crystals will be degraded in quality after being sucked out of mana.
It can be said to be a complete loser.
Now back to the topic.
Since the last time, in order to get rid of the wood elves' pursuers, he has used up the magic power in the magic core.
Up to now, it has been a month or two in the past, but the mana accumulated in the magic core has only recovered to the level of a gust of wind.
Considering the next battle, Zhang William felt the need to speed up his recovery.
Anyway, I have to give him two gusts of wind, right?
For this, he needs to use some special means other than natural recovery.
And this special method, to put it bluntly, is to take the initiative to instill wind-based mana into the magic core.
Find a wind magician or a wind magic crystal, and then directly infuse the corresponding wind magic into the magic core.
That's what he's doing now.
After listening to this explanation, Luo Cheng and the others showed an expression of "long knowledge".
In comparison, Halfin and Kalgan, who were standing beside them, had envious expressions on their faces.
It's nice to have magic gear.
A general, if he can have a magic weapon in his hand, his strength can be improved by half a level.
Unfortunately, their wood elves do not have the craftsmanship of high elves.
Each branch of this elf clan has its own characteristics.
With the instillation of mana, the fist-sized wind element magic crystal in Zhang William's hand gradually became bleak.
In the end, it completely turned into an unremarkable gray-white stone.
He casually threw the magic crystal, which had become a piece of waste after the mana was consumed, on the ground.
Zhang William let out a long breath.
He lifted the breath of the storm in his hand and confirmed the mana accumulation in the magic core.
Finally, let him rush before the start of the siege, and let the breath of the storm restore the mana that can cast two gusts of wind.
It's just that he consumed several high-quality wind element magic crystals for this, which is really painful.
Magic crystals are considered rare consumables for the time being.
After exhaling a long breath and adjusting his emotions, the army continued to advance towards the wood elves' forest.
Now their location is not far from the wood elf forest.
In order to maintain the physical state of the soldiers under his command to fight at any time.
Zhang William began to signal everyone to slow down and make slow progress.
Then, when it was close to noon the next day, the army that was besieging and suppressing the wood elves officially arrived at the outskirts of the wood elves forest! !
