Chapter 273 Assigning Tasks (5 Updates)
When the tower spirit 343 showed this trick, Matthew was immediately curious.
"Image magic?"
"Something is wrong. There is no obvious spell fluctuation."
"Illusion?"
"That's impossible. There is no obvious warning from the teeth and spell equipment."
"Could it be some function of the magic tower?"
"That's very likely..."
Matthew quickly analyzed it, especially the constantly flashing data display, which showed extraordinary sensitivity at this moment.
Quickly showed its magic channel and spell model structure to Matthew one by one.
This is not a profound spell!
Instead, it is the simplest 0-ring trick - image magic!
However, 343's image magic level is very exaggerated, exceeding the upper limit of LV5 and reaching a whole new level.
343 must be extraordinary!
Before Matthew was ready to peek at her information, 343 gently snapped her fingers.
The area of the red light spot quickly began to enlarge and appeared clearly in front of everyone.
The soldiers who had never seen this scene subconsciously widened their eyes.
Some were even startled, closing their eyes in panic, falling to the ground, and shouting without thinking.
The leading nobles looked at each other. They could not see through 343's performance at all, and they were also confused.
For this harmless tower spirit, most nobles treated it with respect for the city lord.
For them, the consequences of angering the city lord were very serious. Under the love of the house and the dog, it was no big deal to give 343 a little face.
But they never thought that the other party was hiding so deeply.
Just showing a hand without leaving a trace gave them such a big shock.
Matthew looked at the image in the air with interest.
While secretly browsing the information deep in the image, on the other hand, curiously counting the red dots representing the number of barbarians.
Something seems wrong?
It seems a bit too much!
One red dot must represent more than one person.
Representing ten people, only a few thousand is too few.
Representing thousands of people, tens of thousands is a bit exaggerated.
"As you can see, this is a warning from the border of the empire."
"More than 60,000 barbarian wanderers are approaching our Blood Moon City and are heading straight for us along the east coast."
"No matter what the other party's purpose is, the Eastern Province Noble Council has given an order."
"Our Blood Moon City's recruitment mission this time is to deal with this batch of barbarian wanderers who broke in."
As soon as this was said, most of the leading nobles present were in an uproar.
It's not that they have any opinions. Facing an enemy that threatens their home, they have to fight with it at the risk of their lives. This is common sense for all leading nobles.
However, they never thought that the enemy was such a large number of barbarians!
This is much more dangerous than occasionally cleaning up dog-headed people and sweeping out some jackals!
Some leading nobles who already knew that the enemy was a barbarian were also shocked at this time.
After all, the number of enemies is too large, almost twice the number of troops recruited this time!
In this case, even if they have confidence in themselves, it is difficult to guarantee that the troops under their command will not suffer too much loss.
Leading troops to support the city lord is one thing, and sacrificing blood is another...
343 noticed everyone's emotions, but did not have any intention of comforting them. Instead, he continued to assign tasks in a cold voice:
"We must block these barbarians near the coast to ensure that they do not spread to other territories of Blood Moon City."
"The first troop consists of 4 troops, starting from the right side of the Bay Territory to block their way to the west in advance."
"We must hold on tightly to ensure that they do not kill from the east side of Blood Moon City."
"Now, in addition to the Bay Territory troops led by Lord Matthew, which other lords want to join?"
As soon as the voice fell, almost everyone looked at Matthew with a strange expression on their faces.
Everyone knew that the first troop that came into contact with the enemy must be the most dangerous.
Because they will face the attack of all enemies together!
The Bay Territory is Matthew's territory, and he must join this battle, which means that the greatest risk will be borne by him.
The others breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help showing an expression of watching a good show.
The original complaints were not said.
The Gulf Territory had no objection, and the others had no right to speak.
Only a few people did not change their expressions, they knew very well how strong the soldiers of the Gulf Territory were.
They also knew that under such circumstances, the other party would definitely not send only 1,000 troops to participate in the battle!
However, it would be extremely dangerous to face more than 60,000 barbarians.
Although the Empire can obtain valuable merits by completing tasks and killing enemies.
But for most lords and nobles, preserving their strength is what they want to do most.
Even if the "soldiers" who died were only some insignificant civilians.
But they dare not hide the pensions under the supervision of the Empire.
This will be a considerable expense.
Moreover, this is not like fighting with other territories and human kingdoms, both sides will maintain a certain degree of restraint.
For the leading nobles, they generally will not kill them.
They can handle it calmly even when there is no life-threatening situation.
But facing these barbarians is completely different!
Who knows what they would do?
They have also heard that there are some special barbarians who like to kill the opponent's coach to prove their bravery!
If they encounter this kind of situation, they will really have nothing to complain about.
Some people begin to regret, why should they take this job that is usually safe but now suffers from sudden danger?
Some leading nobles also regretted being too perfunctory and would have brought more personal guards if they had known better.
Even if he loses the fight, he will be able to escape safely under the escort of his personal guards.
More people have begun to think about how to avoid being selected into the first area.
Just when everyone was silent, Brown raised his hand without thinking:
"I apply to voluntarily join Area 1 and fight alongside Lord Matthew."
"And I am willing to accept the command of Lord Matthew and obey his combat arrangements and orders."
As soon as he said this, the surrounding leading nobles immediately looked over.
Brown was a little uneasy before saying this, but after noticing their gloating eyes, he couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart:
"They are really brainless idiots. Tens of thousands of troll troops can't do anything to the Gulf Territory. What do tens of thousands of barbarians mean?"
"As long as our first area withstands the opponent's first wave of offensive, the barbarians will definitely not continue to chew on our tough bones."
"When the time comes, it's hard to say who will be unlucky..."
Brown, who had been severely beaten, was now thankful that he was "lying flat".
