Chapter 468: The Professionals’ Corps

Chapter 462 – The Professionals Corps

The Professionals accompanying the army were mainly divided into four main categories, namely Alchemists who were responsible for maintenance, Stalkers who were responsible for intelligence, Knights who were responsible for charging, and Mages who were responsible for the most things.

But right now, other than the alchemists who were busy all day long, the other three types of professionals didn’t buy into the orders of the upper general Cross.

In fact, this is quite normal, nowadays the new faction becomes the main force of the war, the old faction is reduced to a spectator, to say that the old faction is voluntary, obviously impossible, so although nominally the professionals corps belongs to the command of the upper general Cross, but in reality do not pay attention to the other party’s orders, only master Eugene under the alchemist to take over the maintenance of the work of the instruments, but also because of this master Eugene and the professionals corps of the head and deputy chief of the relationship is not good, the other Professionals even regarded the alchemists as betrayers, so Master Eugene didn’t have much certainty about convincing the other party to make a move.

“Right now a large number of soldiers are falling every moment, the Alliance needs these soldiers, we can’t just sit back and do nothing!” Although he knew that the chances of convincing the other party were low, Eugene still spoke with some excitement.

“The Alliance needs the soldiers but not us, doesn’t it?” Legendary Mage Blanche fiddled with the staff in his hand and said expressionlessly.

It was reasonable to say that as a Legend, with his status and position, even if the old and new changed, it couldn’t affect him, but it couldn’t be helped that there was a traitor among them, and that was Master Eugene.

Favor the new faction is committed to the implementation of alchemy machinery Eugene master is very much valued by the alliance, a variety of resources are seriously biased, which naturally affects Blanche, after all, as a legendary mage, each of his experiments are costly, no one reimbursement, and how to happily swim in the ocean of knowledge, so for the Eugene masters of the proposal to just oppose is it, not to mention that what he said is the truth.

In the past, mages mastered powerful magic and possessed a supreme status, but now, the power of artillery firing in unison had already exceeded the war magic carefully cast by legendary mages, and it was not limited by magic power, as long as the logistics kept up, the destructive power was even greater than legendary magic.

The popularity of guns has made knights, who were the center of the battlefield, dispensable, and the cause of all this is Master Eugene and those damn alchemists.

Master Eugene was a bit speechless, as the beneficiary of the old and the new, he didn’t really have much of a backbone to say anything, so he turned to look at Mariel, hoping that he would make the right choice.

Malir, born from a knight family, a veteran legend of the Border City Alliance, was the head of the Elite Knights when the Imperial Border Army was still in existence, and was also the only Iron Headed Waif in the Border Army to lead his troops to support the Imperial Capital after it fell.

Unfortunately, the fall of the empire, the district a legend with a knight corps and can play what role, and ultimately to the knight corps was killed, Mariel seriously injured alone return for the end.

This go not only lost the most elite knight group of the border army, but also let the influence and reputation of the legendary knight Malir greatly impacted, the entire silence for ten years, before being reappointed as the chief of the knight group, for the border city alliance to train a completely by the professional composition of the knight group.

At this moment, Malir was maintaining his armor, which was the legendary armor that the emperor personally gave him after he became a legend and accepted the emperor’s enthronement in the imperial capital. Unfortunately, thirty years ago, not only did he receive a serious injury during his trip to the imperial capital, but even this armor was almost scrapped.

Later, even if he exhausted his family’s wealth, he only barely repaired it, and the expenses during this period were even enough for him to re-purchase a set of Legendary Armor, but the significance of this was different.

After the maintenance was completed, Malir put the armor on his body skillfully, picked up the obsolete knight’s sword on the side, and walked out the door in silence, while in the clearing of the camp, a knight group consisting of five hundred Northern Expedition Knights was already waiting here.

“Don’t tell me you didn’t sense the aura coming from the opposite side, you’ll die.” Blanche, who walked out together, said with a frown.

“People will always die, and the place I chose is the battlefield.” Mariel said flatly, at this moment he once again thought back to that day thirty years ago, maybe he should have died where he was in the first place.

“And what about them? Your life’s work, are you going to accompany you, an old man, to die here as well?” Blanche pointed to the Northern Expeditionary Knights that were motionless in formation waiting to depart. “They are knights, born to belong to the battlefield, and what I want to do is to let them live longer on the battlefield, destroy more enemies, and achieve ultimate victory.” Without hesitation, Mariel mounted his warhorse and rushed out of the camp with the five hundred knights he had carefully trained.

After witnessing Malir stepping into the battlefield with his five hundred knights, Blanche’s face was very ugly, staring closely at Eugene as he spoke.

“Now you are satisfied, once Malir and his Northern Expedition Knights all die here, the new faction you support will have no more rivals in the army, and afterward, just need to provide cheap guns and cannons, and then train a group of civilians, the loss of soldiers can be quickly replenished, but these knights that? Without Malir, the legendary knight, the Knights will completely disappear from the Border City Alliance.”

“Professionals are only a minority, the huge number of soldiers is the future of the Border City Alliance, only by ensuring that more soldiers survive will the Alliance be able to avoid being invaded by the enemy.” Eugene still insisted on his point of view, so even though he knew that Malir was going to be in danger, he still did not open his mouth to retain him, and even if it wasn’t for Blanche’s softness, he was planning to talk the other party into joining him.

“That’s really noble, so what about you guys? What are you guys doing?” Blanche swept a glance at the alchemists who were repairing the damaged guns and said to Eugene.

“As alchemists, providing soldiers with sufficient and excellent weapons is our greatest responsibility.” Master Eugene said with great pride.

Blanche sneered and did not intend to talk nonsense with the other party anymore.

He really thought that Eugene and the alchemist were busy in the professional corps, in fact, they were not idle, not to mention the knights who were always ready to fight and did not hesitate to throw themselves into the battlefield at the moment of crisis, even the infiltrators who were responsible for prying for information in the usual inconspicuous way were almost half dead, and he was even organizing a group of one hundred lawyers to fight with the other side many times, so as to avoid their own camps from being detected by the other side or applying magic.

Compared to the alchemists who only need to stay in the safe rear to repair things, the price they paid is called heavy.

In this situation, Eugene even had the face to stand on the moral high ground and condemn.

If he didn’t still have a few moments of sanity, Blanche really wanted to let the other party know what it meant to be a Legendary Mage’s wrath.

Unfortunately, Mariel’s appearance in the battle made him lose his initiative and leverage, and also represented that the old school was about to fall completely out of favor.

If they didn’t go to war, they could still excuse that they didn’t receive Cross’s military orders, but once they went to war, regardless of whether they won or lost, they couldn’t get rid of this responsibility, regardless of whether they were alive or dead.

“Mariel you idiot!” Unwilling to see Eugene’s face again Blanche turned to leave, on the way he said with a hint of sadness and some anger.

If Mariel was willing to go in and out with him, they would regain the initiative in the battle between the old and the new, even if they couldn’t regain what they lost before, exchanging some benefits was still not a problem.

But who let Malir has long had a death wish, the current battlefield and crisis is like tailor-made for him, in a grand and full of crisis on the battlefield heroic death, this is more in line with the identity of a knight.

“You are getting what you want, but I that.” As an old buddy who had been together for decades, regarding Mariel’s choice, Blanche felt both relieved for him and a sense of betrayal, even feeling that the other party was selfish.

But no matter what, this time it was his turn to make a choice, where should he, legendary mage Blanche, go from here .
