Prepration

John's eyes flickered after listening to Jack's words. He also knew the reason why he told him this.

Then he asked," Jack do you know how the level of mage/knight are divided?".

Jack gave John a weird look but he still answered honestly," Master Mage, the extraordinary in this world are divided into various levels but I only know up to silver level. They are bronze, Iron, and Silver".

John's eyes flickered and he felt that he had reached iron level. He also realized that to upgrade the mysterious seeds he needed 3 Iron grade plants.

So he asked," Jack do you know where I can find Iron grade plants?".

Jack's face turned a little red and he said," Master Mage, I don't know about it. Please forgive me. But you can ask the commander Kaian for it. He might be willing to tell you about it".

John thought for a while and said," Okay I will try to see if I can get it. Also, I need three pouches".

Jack said," Master Mage please follow me".

Then he took John to the logistics office where he was given the pouches.

As for weapons when he asked for them, he was given a blank look while Jack from the side said," Master John, you might not be able to get any weapon unless you have earned any military merit".

John just nodded his head and returned to his tent.

He sat down and began to create seeds and experiment with them.

Three days later.

John had already gotten used to his abilities. Moreover, he found that his physical strength was five times that of a normal human. But he kept it a secret and didn't tell anyone about it.

He had also made Healing seeds, Redburn seeds, and Paralysis seeds in large quantities and kept them in different pouches.

Today as usual he came out to hunt for the iron tier plants.

" This is stumbling horsegrass, do you natural mages still use stumbling horsegrass when casting magic?" At this moment a soft voice rang from behind.

John's movement didn't stop but he raised his head and looked behind where the sound came from.

" It turns out to be the deputy commander of the army. Hello sir, please forgive me for not seeing you earlier".

John hurriedly got up and greeted Kaian. These days, the leaders of several armies were very busy and there was no time to pay attention to him. He also couldn't go to important places. Just listening to Jack, the Fourth Army used to have 60000 soldiers but now only half of them were left.

When the orcs attacked in the first wave, although the fourth army was not broken up like the first army it suffered a heavy loss. Even the commander was killed and Kaian was replaced acting as the temporary commander.

John stopped the movement in his hand and discarded the stumbling horse grass that had withered. " Is it stumbling horse grass you mentioned the name of the plant. I just know this plant".

" You don't even know this kind of grass? John are you a natural mage!"

Kaian had a look of confusion on his face.

" Hey you also know that I am a natural mage, so I want to know about the basic uses of the grass. Like this stumbling horse grass is very useful".

Kaian stretched out his hand to hold John up and said," Let's talk while walking ".

John walked next to Kaian and said," The Stumbling Horse Grass is a very useful plant. I saw its root system was so developed that it could be helpful to make ropes and the tip of the grass can be used to burn fire in emergency or can be used to make pillow".

Kaian speed was very fast and his expression became serious and anxious," Let's not talk about this. How are you preparing? The war will start soon. As long as you provide help you will be able to gain a solid position in the army".

John was interrupted in the middle but he didn't dare to get angry and said in a calm tone," I have prepared something to help our troops."

The corner of Kaian's mouth raised slightly, our troops, these words are comfortable to listen to. " Very well, I did not misunderstand you. Although you are a bronze-tier mage you can provide your mysterious power to help. I believe that a mage will never be worse than an unofficial knight on the battlefield."

" Can you tell me what is the goal this time?" John still wanted to ask more clearly.

"If you don't ask, I will tell you that we found a destroyed village. Five hundred orcs are resting in the village. Our task is to wipe out those wild orcs".

John wanted to continue to inquire about something but they had already arrived in front of the barracks. At this time there were already countless teams and set off in turn.

" Come on, this is your horse, we must rush over as soon as possible and not let the wild orcs find us too early".

Kaian pointed at the horse and John tried his best to get on top of the horse but there was no way to climb it.

" Damm it, I don't even have a stirrup. How could this saddle be so rough? Is it comfortable to ride?".

John complained wildly in his heart and his movements made the horse uncomfortable so it moved which made it impossible for him to climb on its back.

" You don't even know how to ride a horse? Forget it, time is running out. Come with me."

John suddenly felt weightless and when he reacted he found he had come behind Kaian. He didn't even know when he was fully armed, even a helmet was worn on his head.

Kaian didn't give John extra preparation time and as soon as he flicked the whip the horse started running. John felt his body shaking and he held on to Kaian's waist. Of course, he grabbed the tough armor and said," Can you ride slowly? I am feeling a little dizzy."

John who had never ridden the horse felt his intestine knotted on the back of the galloping horse.
