Chapter 15 Discovering Ouyun Professionals

In addition to Richard and his knights, the team participating in the cleanup of the area around the Green Flag Camp also included two teams of warriors. After all, the Ouyun people who could be discovered by the divine power sensor were at least formal professionals, and Richard's team did not yet have the ability to kill professionals easily.

The leaders of the warrior team are George and Bob, both of whom are second-level knights.

Like Richard, George was also a lord and nobleman with a handsome appearance. His weapon was not a lance but a one-handed greatsword. He wore a gorgeous half-body armor. Both the one-handed greatsword and the half-body armor exuded a magical luster, and they were obviously enchanted equipment.

There were a total of twenty-five knights under George's command. Their equipment was certainly not as good as George's, but what shocked Richard was that among these twenty-five knights, there were eleven official knights.

Bob was a civilian, wearing heavy armor. Richard noticed that he was carrying an ironwood bow and two pots of arrows on his horse. Bob's team also consisted of twenty-five knights, which meant that the two had the same military rank and were both senior non-commissioned officers.

Although George had the same rank as Bob, he took the initiative as soon as he joined the team: "You are the new wizard Richard, right?"

Before Richard could answer, he gave orders: "I will take over the command of the mission now. You just need to focus on helping us sense the natives of Ouyun."

Unless designated by the military, command is usually held by the highest-ranking officer in the mission. Richard looked at Bob, who was also a senior non-commissioned officer. At this moment, he did not say a word. Richard naturally had no objection to George taking over the command.

It seems that the suppression of the common people by the nobles was comprehensive. Although their military ranks were the same, George could confidently decide to take command.

"This time, we will mainly clear the jungle west of the Green Flag Camp. Sergeant Bob, you will arrange for your team to take turns on guard to prevent us from being ambushed by those ordinary natives. Wizard Richard, I will tell you our route this time. You just need to sense it every five kilometers."

After that, George instructed Richard: "If your magic power can't hold up, remember to tell me in advance." Obviously, George only regarded Richard as a novice wizard.

Bob and Richard received the order. Bob returned to his team and arranged for people to take turns patrolling.

Richard took out the map George had just given him and found that although George was a little arrogant, he was by no means stupid. The routes he arranged were often close to the main roads, making it convenient for cavalry to charge and retreat.

Richard took out the divine power sensor and sensed it again, but did not find the target. This was no wonder, as they had just left the Green Flag Camp. Even if the Ouyun people sent scouts to investigate the situation, they would not choose to send regular soldiers to die.

Until the evening of the first day, Richard did not find the target. Instead, George was surprised that Richard's magic power was so strong. He had no idea that Richard on horseback was doing two things at the same time and was in a meditative state to recover his magic power.

A group of people set up tents. George arranged for his men and Bob's soldiers to take turns on duty on the first night. Richard was also happy to relax and returned to his tent to rest.

While resting, Richard also discovered that since his damaged spiritual power recovered, his magic training has improved by leaps and bounds. It is estimated that he will be able to break through to the second level during the mission.

Richard took out a book from his notebook, which recorded the two second-level magics that Richard learned at the St. Saint Nea School of Magic. Although he has not made a breakthrough yet, the study of magic can already be put on the agenda.

The next day, George arranged for Richard's knights to participate in the guard. The others were all recruits, so Richard could only arrange Hansen to lead the team.

Unexpectedly, not long after they left, Richard, who was not worried about the consumption of magic power, used the divine power sensor and found that there were two Ouyun professionals just at the edge of the sensing range. If he had not rested yesterday, he might have discovered these two people last night.

Richard immediately rode his horse to catch up with George who was walking in front of him, "Sergeant George, I found two Ouyun professionals with my divine power sensor."

George inquired about the location of the two Ouyun professionals and arranged for his adjutant to find out the situation. "All knights, continue to advance one kilometer."

After advancing one kilometer, George first asked all the knights to dismount and rest, and then asked Richard to use the divine power sensor to detect again. This time, there were a total of seven Ouyun professionals who appeared.

The number of professionals among the Ouyun soldiers is naturally less than that of the Jeff Kingdom’s army, even the Green Flag Army, which has the lowest combat power.

This also means that there are at least a large number of non-professional soldiers around these seven professionals. If one is not careful, he may suffer heavy losses.

George called Bob and Richard over, and before they could speak, he expressed his opinion: "I think we still have to fight. The natives of Ouyun lack powerful weapons and equipment, and their mounts are not as good as ours. As long as we can deal with these natives, even if the mission fails, we will still gain a lot of military merit."

Bob was also very eager to fight. Richard knew that they, who had received the cruel education of Jeff Kingdom since childhood, did not care much about the lives of their subordinates. As long as they could gain a lot of military merits, they would be promoted quickly and get additional troops from the military.

The two of them agreed. Richard knew that it would be useless even if he tried to dissuade them, so he just reminded them to be careful.

Soon, George's adjutant came back with information. The total number of Ouyun soldiers was about four to five hundred. Among the seven professionals, six were warriors and one was a priest.

George heard the adjutant's report and asked, "The priest's Courage Battle Song is very troublesome. Richard, do you have any good ideas?"

If the priest's battle song of courage could be bestowed upon ordinary people at all costs with his magic power, then the Ouyun soldiers would be able to unleash even more powerful combat power, which could very likely lead to a change in the entire situation.

Richard thought about his level 2 spiritual power and said confidently, "As long as I am within the casting range, I can use chaos magic to interrupt the priest's spell. I just need to find the priest and let me within the casting range."

George and Bob were very surprised. They didn't expect Richard to be so confident. You know, they had suffered a lot in front of Priest Ou Yun.

George patted his chest and assured, "I will personally lead the team to protect you and go deal with the priest. We will launch a surprise attack and catch the natives off guard. We will get rid of the native priest first."

"Bob, you lead the others to make a feint attack to attract the attention of other natives. Once we have dealt with the priest, we will come to support you immediately."
