Chereads / I am the Archmage / Chapter 52 - Join the army

Chapter 52 - Join the army

After more than ten days of galloping, we finally arrived at the Kingdom of Reinhardt. The route was filled with the remnants of war and the ruins of villages, reminding me of the cruelty of war everywhere.

 Now the Reinhard Kingdom and the Ice and Snow Kingdom are facing each other in an endless battle.

 Although the Ice and Snow Kingdom's population and army are far less than Reinhardt, it does have the strongest magician army on the Holy Demon Continent. The large-scale water attack magic is the biggest nemesis of the knights, so Reinhardt does not Didn't take advantage.

 As soon as I entered the important border town of Fatah, a group of knights with bright armor came up to me. Being accustomed to fighting and killing, I felt from them an aura that only warriors who have been tempered by countless blood and fire can possess. It is definitely not comparable to the group of rookie knights around me.

 The leading knight gave a military salute to Lidok on his horse and said: "The last general of the 'Feng Army', the hundred-horse commander Ta Lei, came to welcome the archmage on the order of the commander of the Goni Army."

 Lidok said with a smile: "Goni is really thoughtful. Well, I haven't seen her in the past year since she led the army. It's good to go and sit down and see how proud our Reinhardt is. Has the 'Flower of Knights' become more beautiful?"

 Gurney? Such a familiar name.

An idea flashed in my mind, and I remembered that this was Tong Ulan Nasha. Ying is the daughter of the prime minister of the Reinhard Kingdom and is one of the top ten beauties in the Holy Demon Continent. She is famous as the "Flower of Knights" in the mainland. It is said that she was awarded the highest rank of knights - the Holy Knight by the Knights Guild six months ago. title, becoming the youngest and only female paladin in the history of the continent.

 Currently, she is the commander of the "Phoenix Army", one of the four major knights of Reinhardt: "Dragon, Tiger, Lion and Phoenix", with the rank of marshal. She is really powerful in commanding the troops to fight against the Ice and Snow Kingdom.

 Under the leadership of Commander Tarre, we came to the Marshal's Mansion located in the center of Fatah City. It was originally the Governor's Mansion of Fatah, but has now been requisitioned by Marshal Gurney Sherrant.

 We dismounted in front of the house, and most of the guards' eyes were focused on me. I couldn't help it, but I stood among this group of brightly armored knights, standing out.

 Suddenly, I felt an extremely strong spiritual power rushing out of my house at an extremely fast speed. Its strength was enough to make me want to fight. Of course, it was not that it was mentioned to me, but I had never encountered it before. He has such a spiritual power that far exceeds that of ordinary people, so he is very interested in it.

 An extremely beautiful silhouette shot out from the Marshal's Mansion and stopped in front of Lidock.

 What a beautiful girl.

This was my first impression. The person who came was a stunning beauty in her twenties. Her astonishingly beautiful work also contained the light of wisdom and sassiness that people could hear. She was so beautiful that it was dazzling.

 She is probably the "Flower of Knights" Gony Sherant, and she is indeed a beauty who is no less beautiful than Ulan Nasha and Ying.

 Gurney said hello to Lidock, her beautiful eyes glanced at the knights accompanying him, and suddenly they froze on my body. At the same time, a sudden flash of light gave rise to a strange look, and a look of surprise appeared on her beautiful pink face.

 I felt strange in my heart. She might have seen my wolf-shirted attire, or she might have sensed my bottomless spiritual power, but she shouldn't have this reaction as if she saw a long-lost friend.

 Are you... worried about her "other me"?

 No, if I am the same as before, even Ulan Nasha may not be able to recognize me just for a moment, so why would she...

Lidok also noticed how strange Gony was towards me. He pulled me out from the group of knights and said with a smile: "Gony, I will introduce you to a swordsman with unparalleled swordsmanship. This is NoName , my new The little brother I met."

 Goni's clear eyes pierced directly into my eyes like two sharp swords. I sensed that her eyes contained powerful spiritual power, and I knew that she must have a secret technique that could detect my soul through spiritual power. He was suddenly very interested, and he suddenly gathered his mental strength and used "mental thorns" to directly meet her gaze.

 The two people's spiritual powers collided together. I was fine, but Ge Ni's delicate body suddenly shook as if someone had punched her in the chest, and her pink face suddenly lost all color.

 Lidok saw this and said hurriedly: "What are you doing? The competition of spiritual power is not fun. But NoName , you are really surprising me more and more. Ge Ni has been practicing spiritual power since she was a child, and even I can't match it."

 I smiled faintly and said nothing.

Ge Ni quickly returned to normal, stared at me deeply and then welcomed us into the Marshal's Mansion as if nothing had happened.

 Ge Ni's reception was very warm and she brought sumptuous delicacies to the knights. I was not polite and wolfed down the food together with the knights.

 Lidok decided to stay in Fatah for a few days to rest, and asked Gony to arrange accommodation for us. He took special care of me, gave me a separate room and sent me a brand new swordsman uniform.

 After a quick shower, I put on new clothes, which actually fit me quite well.

 At this time, Ge Ni's spiritual power suddenly entered my sensing range and stopped outside my room. My heart suddenly moved, and there was a gentle knock on the door.

 I stood up and stepped forward to open the door, only to see the heroic and beautiful Ge Ni standing outside the door, as dazzling as a beautiful goddess of war.

 I was about to say hello, but unexpectedly, Ge Ni suddenly shouted in a deep voice: "Clark."

Clark? Who is Clark? Is she talking to me?

 By the way, Princess Feoa, who lost her sight half a year ago, also said that my voice is exactly the same as that of a man named Clark. At that time she thought I was Clark, and now Ge Ni also...

 Could it be... am I really that Clark? The guy known as "Elshank the God of Destruction"? Alas, the last time my "other me" showed up, I should have asked him what my name was.

 After Gurney finished drinking, she carefully observed my reaction. Unexpectedly, I did not show any expression of surprise or guilt, but seemed to be deep in thought. A thought crossed her mind: Is thisNoName really not Clark?

 She has been practicing mental power since she was a child and studying people's eyes. A year ago, she met "Elsenko God of Destruction" Urai in the Ice and Snow Kingdom. His eyes were deeply imprinted in her heart, and she could never forget them again.

 She knew she was attracted to Clark. For no reason, this man whom she had only met once and never heard from again occupied her whole heart. In desperation, she could only ask for orders and lead the troops to go out alone. Through fierce fighting, she forced herself to stop fighting. To think about him.

I quickly got out of the way and said, "Please, Marshal, please come in quickly."

 Ge Ni walked to the room lightly and sat down, saying, "Mr. Anonymous, how did you meet Archmage Lidok? And why did you go together?"

 I knew in my heart that he was trying to find out about me, so I told him again what he had said about Lidock, about getting to know Lidock. My colleagues told the truth and did not discount anything.

 After listening to my story, Gurney said to me with a half-smile, "Mr. Nameless, do you have any plans to stay in Reinhardt's army?"

 I said: "It's not confirmed yet. I've always been used to being free. I'm afraid I won't adapt to the life of the army. Why, Marshal Ge Ni, do you also want me to stay?"

 Ge Ni said: "A swordsman as strong as you is welcomed by any army, and I am no exception."

I pondered for a while and suddenly said: "Okay, I'll stay. Marshal, I will stay under your account and serve, but I will only obey your orders, and I must have a certain degree of freedom. If you want to leave, who can You can't stop me either."

 Ge Ni didn't expect me to agree so easily, Fang couldn't help but feel surprised, and said: "Yes, Mr. NoName , I'm sorry for you to take up the position of Commander of the Hundred Cavalry. In the future, as long as you have outstanding performance, promotion will not be a problem."

 We chatted for a while, and then Gurney said her goodbyes and left.

 I lay on my back on the bed with my arms as pillow, thinking about what to do next.

 I originally wanted to stay with Lidok and look for opportunities to destroy the "Fire Scorpion Bead", but after meeting with Ge Ni, I found that this woman is really extraordinary. Her destructive power is probably much greater than a mere "Fire Scorpion Bead", so I changed my mind and decided to stay and hold her back.

 In fact, I have a very fond impression of Gurney Shirant, a peerless beauty with both talent and beauty, and she seems to be acquainted with "another me", but who said that the Reinhard Kingdom and the Fire Elves are allies? And the person closest to me is Ulan Nasha. Reis and others are serving in the Principality of Lein again, and sooner or later the two sides will meet with each other.

I had no choice but to feel sorry for her.

 After leaving NoName 's room, Ge Ni went straight to Lidock's residence and told him about NoName 's promise to stay and join the army.

 Lidok said happily: "This is really great. I brought him back to Reinhardt on the grounds of reward to persuade him to serve our country. Gurney, you have never seen NoName 's swordsmanship with you. It's really too great." It's unbelievable. Even my 'Extreme Concentration Divine Fire' was neutralized by him purely with swordsmanship. Now that our country can have his help, it's really great. It's great, it's really great..."

 Gurney smiled slightly and stared at the stars in the night sky through the window.

 The main reason why she kept NoName was that she wanted to confirm whether he was Clark. Although it didn't mean anything to her, she longed for NoName to be Clark from the depths of her heart. Here, it was the rogue man who made her unable to hold back her feelings.
