Lord Wizard

Chapter 9 Buff Aura

Lin Meng went directly to Viscount Krupp's study and explained his purpose to the Viscount, who was working there.

"Go back? But Thorntown isn't..."

Viscount Krupp was somewhat surprised to hear what Lin Meng said.

Lin Meng then repeated the reasons he had given Eileen.

"Marquis Alfonso!? You actually know this lord?"

The name made Viscount Krupp look at Lin Meng differently. After a while, he said, "Ever since I saw you training in the training ground every day, I knew that you would one day take back the territory, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. My grandson has indeed grown up."

After saying that, he took out a file folder from the cabinet behind him and handed it to Lin Meng, saying, "Ever since I learned of the misfortune that befell your Bell family, I have been collecting information on Earl Farrell and Johnson. I originally wanted to try to use diplomatic pressure to force Earl Farrell to give up Thorntown, but I didn't expect that you would have the good fortune to know Marquis Alfonso. With Marquis Alfonso's word, Earl Farrell will definitely not dare to take action against you again. This contains some information on Johnson and Earl Farrell. You can take it back with you."

"Thank you, Grandpa."

"We're family, no need for thanks. I'll have Commander Noah lead the Wildebeest Knights to help you reclaim your territory. Marquis Alfonso's title is useful, but if you don't have any power of your own, the trip to reclaim Thorntown may not go smoothly."

Viscount Krupp said again.

"The Knights of the Wildebeest?"

Lin Meng was overjoyed.

The Wildebeest Knights are Viscount Krupp's most elite force. Even if Johnson were a baron with a title but no real power, he wouldn't be able to fight against the power of an entire knightly order.

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Lin Meng said sincerely.

"Go ahead, be careful, and remember, no matter what, Grandpa is always behind you."

Krupp patted Lin Meng on the shoulder.

Lin Meng nodded.

The afternoon was spent preparing to depart.

Early the next morning, Lin Meng and Eileen left Carol City under the protection of the Wildebeest Knights.

As he left Carol, Linmon glanced back.

He arrived in a hurry, his future uncertain, and he was very cautious. He didn't even have time to properly look around the city, but he believed that when he returned to the city, he would surely return in glory.

……

"Young Master Raylin, the bandits ahead have dispersed, and we will soon be able to enter the territory of Thorn Town."

Standing at 1.92 meters tall and with a strong physique, Noah spoke beside Lin Meng.

As the leader of the Wildebeest Knights, he wore a suit of silver armor, carried a weight of over fifty kilograms, and rode a wildebeest that was nearly a third larger than an ordinary warhorse, which was enough to inspire awe in others.

"Thanks to Noah leading you, I was harassed by bandits quite a bit on my way from Thorntown to Carol City."

Lin Meng smiled and said to Noah.

Carol City and Winter City are both border cities, and Thorntown is located between the two cities, not too far apart, but it still took him three days to get to the outskirts of Thorntown.

Yes, three days.

If this weren't work, and if the wizarding world weren't so mysterious, an ordinary person would have given up on such a boring game long ago after three days of travel.

"No band of thieves would dare to provoke a knightly order; we've already shown mercy by not wiping them out."

Noah's lips curled up slightly, his expression one of extreme confidence.

Lin Meng nodded slightly, and at the same time, as he felt the Thorn Town becoming clearer in the fragments of his mind, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Um?"

A moment later, Lin Meng seemed to discover something. The world fragments that had gradually dimmed after the power feedback actually lit up again, but this time it was not white, but brown.

As the brown fluorescent light shone upon him, the fatigue accumulated from three days of travel quickly dissipated, and in just a moment, he was fully recovered.

"Does returning to one's own territory bring additional divine miracles?"

Lin Meng pondered for a moment.

At this moment, his gaze fell on his character template, which displayed two pieces of information.

"Due to the influence of an unknown force, stamina recovery +200%!"

"Due to the influence of an unknown force, self-healing ability increased by 200%!"

……

"I never imagined that staying in my own territory would allow world fragments to eliminate fatigue, restore energy, and enhance self-healing... This buff aura is really great."

A smile appeared on Lin Meng's face. These enhancements, when used properly, had amazing effects.

It's like practicing martial arts and swordsmanship. Others might have their hands sore from swinging a sword a hundred times, but he won't.

While others fear injury in battle and may need months to recover from an injury, he can heal in just a few days.

All these advantages will definitely help him grow rapidly in the wizarding world and enter the realm of a great knight earning millions a year.

……

Thorntown Outpost.

"Johnson already knows we're here."

When Lin Meng arrived, Eileen immediately came to report to him.

Following Eileen's direction, Lin Meng looked at the hills outside the outpost.

Several cavalrymen, clearly there to scout, were circling outside the outpost, cautiously observing Lin Meng and his men setting up camp.

"Can you still contact those old subordinates in the territory?"

Lin Meng asked.

"There's no point in contacting them. Now that they've sided with Johnson, they're unlikely to help us anymore."

Eileen shook her head.

"My goal is simply to make them unwilling to help, or to make them shirk their duties, so that only Johnson's men remain, and we can reduce our casualties."

Lin Meng looked at the knights Noah had brought. These men were his core force for the next period of time, and they were also Viscount Krupp's soldiers. If the losses were too great, he would not be able to explain it to Viscount Krupp.

"I see."

"Go ahead, but be careful not to get discovered by Johnson. He has some skilled men under his command."

Lin Mengdao.

"Yes."

Eileen responded and left.

At this moment, Noah stepped forward and said, "In my opinion, those rabble are nothing."

"Since I brought you here, I am naturally responsible for your safety."

"Lord Leylin, you will be an excellent leader."

"I'm just doing what I think is right."

Lin Meng smiled and said, "Let's discuss tomorrow's battle plan."

"it is good."

……

The next day, just as dawn broke and a thin layer of mist still lingered over the distant mountains, scouts reported that Josen's men had set off from Thorntown and were heading at full speed toward the outpost.

"The garrison of Thorn Town consists of three hundred men, poorly equipped. Qiao Sen's elite cavalry number over forty, and while they are well-trained, they are still a bit short of being elite."

Noah addressed Lin Meng, who had come upon hearing the commotion.

"It looks like Johnson has come out in full force. How are our preparations going?"

Lin Mengdao.

Johnson was only the second son of Viscount Barton. He was granted the title of nobleman through his own abilities and heavy bribes. As a baron without any land, recruiting such a large number of soldiers was already the limit.

"Ready to fight at any time."

"Alright, take the high ground, we'll wait for them here."

At Lin Meng's command, the group took the lead and climbed the high ground not far from the outpost, taking advantage of the rest.
