In April of the year 320 of the Redemption Calendar, the weather in the southern part of the continent had become extremely hot. The bright sun jumped out of the horizon very early, and then hung high above the head for a dozen prayer hours, baking the earth. Even in the evening
Even when it reaches the top of the mountain, it is still hot.
The snow on the high mountains has begun to melt at an accelerated rate, and large tracts of gray-black rocks are exposed from under the melting white snow. The gurgling snow water passes through small streams and collects into the river from all directions. The rushing snow water widens the river channel and envelops the river.
Rolling down with mud and sand.
Along with this hot weather came a more brutal war.
The Philip Army that invaded St. Solan first concentrated its forces and launched a new round of offensive in the western Longmen Theater. During this offensive, people were horrified to find that there were many new changes in the organization of the Philip Army's offensive troops.
Powerful name.
First of all, there is Philip's most famous heavy knight.
When a whole squadron of forty heavily armored knights appeared on the western Longmen battlefield for the first time, Emperor Saint Soland tasted his first defeat after the war resumed.
A battalion of the 11th Legion of the Frontier Army stationed at Longmen in the west and hundreds of local nobles who cooperated in the battle faced heavily armored knights riding six-legged horses, wearing hundreds of kilograms of heavy armor, and holding four-meter spears.
There is no way to fight back.
Their spears were broken on the enemy's armor; the arrows they shot bounced off the armor; even if they got a chance to fight at close range after paying a huge price, they could only find in despair that their own swords
It couldn't cut through the thick armor at all.
However, the enemy sitting on a two-meter-high horse can use the full charge of a six-legged horse with an average weight of more than three tons to smash through all obstacles on the road and tear apart all defense lines. With their spears,
Pierce the chests of Solan soldiers. Use their swords to cut off the heads of Solan officers.
Only those who have actually stood on the battlefield and experienced all this personally can know how tragic that scene is.
Forty heavily armored knights tore apart the Solan army's camp with just one charge. The Felie cavalry who came up to cover them up could easily cut through the ropes by just following the opening made by the heavily armored knights.
The Lan Army's defense line divided and annihilated the troops at the front, rear, left and right.
The battle only lasted for less than an hour before it came to an end. Throughout the battle area, the bodies of Saint Solan soldiers lying in a pool of blood were everywhere. Saint Solan flags and weapons were scattered everywhere, and the scene was
It was horrific. Of the more than 2,000 Saint Solan soldiers, including 100 frontier knights and 200 cavalry, only 46 people escaped in the end.
The appearance of the heavily armored knight is just the beginning.
So far, frontline soldiers, scouts and refugees have seen and recognized dozens of legion flags and family crests. Among them are the Snow Wolf Knights, Ice Blade Knights, Devil Knights and other members of the Fei Lie Empire.
Elite troops.
Some people even swore that they saw the Knights of the Black Horn, one of the three major knights of Philip!
For a time, the air in the empire became tense again. Everyone was aware of the ferocity of the Phillies and the seriousness of the situation. In the foreseeable future, the empire would face the Phillies far more violently than ever before.
offensive.
In addition to the northwest and western theaters, the situation in Lulian in the south is not optimistic either.
From the optimism during the victory celebration to understanding the danger of the situation, the psychological ups and downs of the Lulian people were like falling directly from heaven to hell, without any excessive. It seems that overnight, the battle on the 60-kilometer defense line south of Meiding City
, just like this hot weather, the temperature is rising suddenly.
In the past few days, a large number of Fierce cavalry swept through the villages and towns along the route like the wind. Caravans and pedestrians heading to Meiding City and the front line often stood on the hillside and could see the thick smoke of beacon fires lit in the distance and hear the endless sound.
The sound of fighting.
A large wave of refugees has appeared again. On the road outside the south gate of Munich, which has been quiet for a while, you can see people trekking with packages on their backs, ox carts carrying family property, the elderly and children, and military messengers galloping on horseback.
and the continuous mobilization of troops.
Everyone's minds are filled with the war that is gradually becoming more and more intense. When we meet on weekdays, the topic will definitely be this. When I have time to go out on the street, I also go to the bulletin board of Ignorant Hall to see if there are any latest battle reports and listen to the news.
The people there chatted about gossip from the front lines.
The chaotic days and talk about the war have covered up many things that everyone was worried about before. For example, the gold shop on the street was robbed, for example, a baroness had an affair with a promiscuous freedom knight and was caught by her husband, such as the first training
The noble boys in the camp were beaten up by a civilian student.
What happened at the ball held by Archduke Adolf was like a sunken ship, quietly sinking into the mud at the bottom of the river, making no sound in the rough days.
Of course, there are many people who are thinking about this matter. For example, the nobles who experienced the ball personally and the students of the first training camp. However, after that night, they never got more information that was enough to sustain their interest.
information.
The Imperial Capital is too far away, and the fights between the top nobles are not something people of their level can pry into. Since the dance, Scarlett returned to the Imperial Capital, and Xia Li and several other noble children who fought with Roy have not returned to the academy.
.
All the conflicts solidified in a strange way. The calmness and silence of the parties involved were like a thick layer of volcanic ash covering the erupting volcanic magma.
The only one available for everyone to observe is Roy.
However, in the past few days, this new student who shocked the entire college did not seem to have done anything special. He was not captured by the guards for offending the nobles, did not escape, and did not conflict with other noble children who were eyeing him.
.He transferred to the Magic Academy because of his magic talent, and he did not enter the S Brigade because he defeated a genius like Xia Li.
If we had to find out any changes in him, it might be that this guy who hadn't attended a class since the beginning of school came to Team E early to report for training on the first day after the carnival. Other than that,
, there are no other changes.
On the surface, everything seems to be like this.
It's normal but a little abnormal.
………
………
"Run, run..."
"Quick. Keep going. Damn it. Do you want to get your ass kicked by me?"
In the early morning, the silence in the back hill of the college was once again broken by the footsteps of the students of Team E and the shouts and curses of the instructors.
The team of more than 600 people was like a long snake. It was moving forward quickly in the jungle behind the mountain. From both sides of the team, the sound of rapid horse hooves could be heard from time to time. If anyone was a little bit lazy, the next second would be
You will see the fierce face of the instructor waving a riding crop appearing in front of you.
Haisen's burly body was riding on a tall Hedun horse. This kind of horse was originally a cold-blooded draft horse used to carry goods or pull carts, and was not suitable for riding. However, the E Brigade was from an almost shabby family background.
It's pretty good to be able to find such a suitable horse for Hessen without letting him walk.
Wu Ming and Walder rode their horses to the left and right beside Haisen. The teachings of the three first-year students seemed particularly leisurely in this busy and chaotic team.
As Kameni became more familiar with Team E, running during morning training was no longer exclusive to first-year students. All the nearly 600 students in Team E were pulled out to participate in the training.
After all, they have been training for a while, so the current first-year students seem to be more calm than the senior students. They have already run forty kilometers, and the team still remains intact, and their breathing and pace are not too scattered.
signs.
The other grades behind are already in a mess. They are panting, complaining, lagging behind, and so on. It is estimated that by the end of the 100 kilometers, their instructors will be too tired to even talk.
No strength at all.
Riding their horses around a small steep slope, they climbed onto the ridge from the other side with a gentler slope. The three instructors watched the team flying past them and chatted leisurely.
During this morning training, the atmosphere in the freshmen team seemed a little different from usual.
The reason was that there was a black-haired guy among them. The boy was running in the third row of the team, breathing long and briskly. The dry linen training clothes looked bright among the sweat-soaked backs on the front, back, left and right.
Extremely eye-catching.
"How did this kid train?" Wald leaned shapelessly on the saddle, holding the reins in his gloved hands, tapping the leather that had been worn shiny by the stirrup ropes, "Are you sure he
Was it really just one-star strength at that time?"
Haisen grinned and said in a rough voice: "Don't ask us, you were there at that time."
"I just can't figure it out," Walder scratched his head and looked at Roy in the team, "This kid is a bit evil."
"It doesn't matter if he's evil or not," Heisen chuckled, "As long as he's in our first training camp, that's a good thing." As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said with some pride, "In a few days, it will be the academy.
It’s an internal challenge. These days, when those guys from Farley look at us, their faces are all green.”
The three unscrupulous teachers laughed in unison.
"Can you not be green?" Wu Ming said with a smile: "Roy is a four-star armed knight, and he has the magical strength of a magician. Let's not say what his achievements will be in the future when he cultivates both magic and martial arts. At least for now, he will eat up other freshmen in the brigade.
You have to die."
Walder said: "This time they shot themselves in the foot. No matter how hard it is, there is such a monster in our team."
As he said that, he sneered, "The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. All the students of the S Brigade under Farley have been trained so hard by them. It's obvious that they are going to lose before the game even starts. It's not a good feeling."
"I really doubt that Diarra and Farley can find someone who dares to take the stage," Wu Ming said leisurely. "If it were me, I wouldn't want to fight with that ruthless boy. Look at the ruthlessness with which he beat people that night.
Damn, even a beautiful little beauty like Scarlett can’t bear to do it!”
At this point, the three of them laughed again.
I have seen so many boys in front of beautiful girls. Thinking about Roy again, I feel like a little vicious dog rushing into the chickens. Those arrogant little roosters and beautiful little hens in the college
, was already in a state of panic.
"However, let's not be too optimistic," Heisen smacked his lips, and with the reins on his horse, he rode his horse to follow the group of students and said, "I've smelled something wrong these days."
"What?" Wu Ming and Walder looked at each other and rode up to follow him. They have been friends with Haisen for more than ten years, and they know best that this guy with a rough appearance is actually very meticulous in his thoughts. He wants to say something is wrong.
, then there must be.
"In the past two days, the common people have been inspired by Roy to stand up and act like a real knight. But..." Hessen said, "In this way, the conflict between the nobles and the common people will change.
It must be a bit sharp, especially yesterday, the school guard arrested two groups of guys who were fighting. If this happened in the past, it would not happen once a year."
Wald said disapprovingly: "What does that matter? This is a professional training camp for combatants. It is abnormal to have conflicts but not get angry and fight." He said angrily, "Even if they fight every day, they are more bullied than before and dare not say a word.
good!"
"You can't say that," Hessen shook his head. "The nobles are not all black-hearted. Many of the boys are actually quite good. We can't lead to large-scale confrontations because of a small group of people. That will do us no good. But I found that,
It seems like someone is trying to do this?”
"Oh?" Wu Ming asked confused, "Who is it?"
"Yesterday's two conflicts were handed over to Diarra by the school guard," Hessen said calmly. "And our Vice-President, who always protects the aristocratic children, this time has completely stood on the standpoint of the civilians and put the aristocratic children
He cursed me like a dog."
Walder and Wu Ming widened their eyes in surprise, then looked at each other and quickly tasted an unusual smell.
Based on their understanding of Diarra, they certainly know that this stubborn vice-president cannot change his tune overnight and take the civilian route. In this case, his approach will only cause tension in the college.
The atmosphere plays a huge role in promoting it.
Haisen said in a deep voice, "Actually, the civilian boys were just inspired by Roy and didn't want to be bullied anymore, while most of the noble students focused on training on weekdays and didn't think about bullying anyone. Ke Di
By doing this, Yara gave these hot-blooded boys a wrong signal. It seems that the academy is now helping the common people suppress the nobles... Hey, isn't this adding fuel to the flames?"
The faces of Walder and Wu Ming became serious.
"I don't know what Diarra has in mind," Walder said thoughtfully, frowning, "In the past two days, Supervisor Bol has been supervising the decline of the spiritual power level of the Fantasy Tower in the academy. He is watching everything.
In my eyes, if the situation gets out of control, I am afraid that the dean will..."
While they were talking, the team had already passed in front of them. The three of them shook their reins and rode their horses side by side to follow.
Haisen's burly body rose and fell with the horse's steps, and he said: "I feel that in this internal challenge, Farley and the others will not give in so easily. In the past two days, those guys have been sneaky and must be preparing.
By what means?"
"Speaking of this..." Walder seemed to remember something, "I heard that in addition to a few top players from Team S, there is also a magic genius who has just joined this competition. It is said that he is very powerful."
"Is she the girl who was brought in by Diarra herself?" Hessen said in surprise, "I have heard about this too. It is said that her talent is even higher than that of Scarlett, and she is also a magician.
scholar."
"Yes," Walder nodded, "In addition, I also heard that Brigade S also recruited a new student this morning. It seems that Farley brought him personally."
The more they talked, the more the instructors felt that things were not simple. After a moment of silence, Wu Ming frowned and turned to look at Roy in the queue, "No matter what they want to do, their strength will speak for themselves in the end! With Roy's talent,
As long as we train according to the instructions of Grand Master Kameni, we can at least improve his strength to a higher level in a short period of time."
"Training?" Speaking of Roy, Haisen showed a faint smile on his face and gritted his teeth, "How dare this kid only come to one class after such a long time of schooling. Hehe, I think he should accept it more
It's a lesson, otherwise," he turned to look at the silently running team, "these guys won't be convinced."
Wu Ming and Walder nodded in sympathy. They both knew that not all the students in E Brigade welcomed Roy. It was like a strong male wolf suddenly appeared in the wolf pack. Although this male
The wolf makes this group stronger, but it dares to bite even a lion, so among the wolves, it is natural to get defensiveness and suspicion.
More importantly, from the beginning to the present, the students have suffered a lot under Kameni's training. Every day of training is like going through hell and coming back to life after experiencing various tortures.
Some people left and simply left the college. There are now only ninety-seven of the one hundred and twenty-six freshmen left. And these remaining people only did so after gritting their teeth and persevering through that inhuman torture.
I got used to this training method and my strength has improved significantly.
Therefore, they are not happy to see a guy who has only attended one class just return to their own leisurely. No matter who he is, it will not work!
The current atmosphere in Team E is very strange. Some people are curious about Roy, talking about his legend and applauding him. Others, however, instinctively treat him with suspicion and opposition.
In the opinion of the instructors, this attitude is not directed at Roy, but rather toward themselves. Everyone is watching how they handle this matter.
Therefore, it is not easy for Roy to return to Team E. Today, they must teach Roy a lesson!
………
………
"Huh...huh..." Roy's violent breathing echoed in the jungle.
It was almost noon, and under the scorching sun hanging high above his head, the clothes on his body were completely soaked with sweat. His whole person looked as if he had just been fished out of a lake not far away.
This is the first time he has run around the jungle near the back mountain lake...
Roy himself couldn't remember how many laps it was. He only knew that when the 100-kilometer running training was over and the students who had persisted to the finish line fell down to rest, he heard a voice.
"Roy, get out of the queue! Keep running!"
At that time, the entire team was silent. Everyone looked at him with complicated eyes as he ran out of the queue. After crossing the 100-kilometer finish line, he continued to run along the lakeside mountains and forests without stopping.
Not only that, but the instructors who had just followed the team leisurely without a word of urging were now as if they had been beaten to death. The three of them took turns riding behind to drive him away. As long as his speed was a little slower.
You can feel the breath of the horse behind you and hear the sound of the whip being whipped through the air.
In order not to be knocked away by the horse that was almost stepping on his heels, and not to be hit by the burning whip, Roy's current running speed was at least twice as fast as during the group training just now.
The group training has ended long ago. Not only the first-year students who are accustomed to the intensity of training, but also several other grades have reached the end one after another.
At this moment, on a grassy hillside with a gentle slope to the west, hundreds of students and instructors were under the shade of trees, gaping at Roy, who was being chased by instructors and rolling up and down, under the scorching sun.
Run wildly.
"How many laps?"
A student who had just finished practicing Dou Qi opened his eyes, jumped up in a hurry, and pulled his companion next to him to ask.
"I don't know," the companion who was pulled had a weird look on his face, "It should be one hundred and fifty kilometers away, right?"
"One hundred and fifty kilometers?" The student was stunned.
As victims of Kameni's cruel extreme training, they understand the meaning behind this seemingly simple training data better than anyone else.
If you talk about others, it's just a word from your mouth. If you put this data on yourself... damn, it's a life!
You know, the training intensity of running in the mountains and forests without an inch of flat ground is three to five times that of running on flat ground. Many people who usually boast that their endurance is pretty good and can easily run a hundred kilometers on flat ground,
When I first started training with Kameni, I was so tired that I vomited bile after less than 40 kilometers.
Not to mention uphill, downhill, jumping, climbing, shallow water by the lake and soft mud in the jungle, just the speed limit of 30 kilometers per hour set by Kameni is enough to scare people.
Drive crazy.
Even with the support of fighting spirit, the final results of most students are only between 40 and 80 kilometers. There are not even twenty people in the entire E brigade who can support the entire 100 kilometers with fighting spirit!
Especially after exceeding the limit of one's fighting spirit, the remaining journey, even if it is only one kilometer, is a kind of torture.
The student stared blankly at Roy down the hillside.
After a while, another person who had completed the Dou Qi Breath Adjustment jumped up and asked hurriedly like he just did.
"How many laps?"
As more and more people completed their Dou Qi training, more and more eyes looked at Roy on the hillside.
……………
……………
"Quick! Quick!"
The sound of horse hooves behind him caught up again. The roar of Wald's teaching sounded like thunder in Roy's ears.
"Boy, aren't you fucking awesome? Why do you only have so little ability? You're not even two hundred kilometers away and you're so weak? I can run farther than you with one leg!"
Walder leaned down. His saliva almost splashed onto Roy's face: "Speed me up! Fast!"
Roy and the war horse jumped over a lying rotten tree at the same time, splashing water and turning over mud under their feet. They flew across the beach by the lake and rushed up a hillside.
"Quick, quick, quick..."
Amid Walder's roar, Roy ran forward desperately. His chest was heaving violently, and the hot summer air burned his lungs like a wave of fire rushing into the bellows. His whole body was on the verge of
On the verge of collapse.
Two prayer hours have passed, and his physical strength has long been exhausted. He is completely supported by his fighting spirit. He must breathe hard and run hard without slacking off. If he stops, he doesn't even know that he can still survive.
Can't stand up.
Rushing uphill, passing through a forest full of fallen leaves and mud. He jumped over a moss-covered rock and rolled and slid down a steep slope covered with shrubs and branches... Roy was like an elk running for his life, only relying on
Running instinctively.
His brain has completely lost the ability to think. Whether it is jumping or dodging, it is just a subconscious reaction.
"Are you ready?"
This was the first thing Kameni said when he reported for duty this morning.
"I must tell you, there is no fairness here. Everyone is different. Your training intensity may be ten times that of others."
"Among the freshmen in this brigade, the four-star armed strength may be good, but compared with the trouble you face, you don't even have the ability to protect yourself...if you are not a magician."
"A lot of people are looking at you. And they're going to keep looking at you."
"When you entered school, you only had one-star strength in Armed Forces. And you only formed a combat ring after you turned eighteen. No matter how you look at it, it's impossible for you to be promoted to Four-star Armed Forces in such a short period of time."
"I believe in you, but you still need to prove yourself. Prove to your teammates in this group, and everyone else, that you did not increase your strength to your current level by taking excessive amounts of medication."
Kameni's words echoed in Roy's mind. He knew that Kameni was now standing on the hillside, watching him with all the students and teachers of Team E.
"Fuck, why do I have to prove myself?"
Roy cursed in his heart. He didn't care about other people's opinions. What other people thought was none of his business. In his opinion, what proved that he was fake? Kameni teamed up with several teachers to take the opportunity to vent his anger.
It’s true to punish a truant who skips class in front of all the students in the entire E-Brigade!
"Hurry, boy. Don't make me whip you." At a gentle slope, Hessen took over from Walder and followed Roy behind him, shouting loudly as he ran. No matter how you heard it, there was a sense of gloating in his tone.
.
Roy could only speed up sadly and angrily.
However, if Roy could look back at this time, he would find that the eyes of Hessen who was following him, Walder who stopped and stopped, and everyone on the hillside in the distance were full of shock and admiration.
Roy has run more than two hundred kilometers. From morning to noon, he has not stopped even a step.
Although from the data point of view, this is only twice the collective training standard. But everyone knows that with the consumption of physical strength and fighting spirit, every extra kilometer Roy runs now is more difficult than running ten kilometers at the beginning of training.
Is this kid really just armed with four-star strength? Is he really a person who relies on drugs to enhance his strength as others have speculated?
On the hillside, an imperceptible smile appeared on Kameni's lips. He withdrew his eyes from Roy and looked around. It was quiet around him, as the instructors and students all stared down the mountain in silence.
After more than 180 kilometers, the brightness of Roy's battle ring began to weaken significantly. Although he is still running now, his battle ring is like a candle in the wind and may be extinguished at any time.
Kameni saw that as the thin figure ran past his eyes again and again, chased by the horses, the pair of eyes that were originally filled with indifference, hostility, and suspicion had unknowingly changed.
The suspicion disappeared, the indifference disappeared, the female students showed unbearable expressions, and the male students looked solemnly. Even the most arrogant among the freshmen, their faces no longer had the contempt and hostility towards Roy.
"thump!"
When Roy ran down the hillside again, he suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground, unconscious. The already dim battle ring disappeared without a trace at this moment like clouds of smoke.
.
With a few girls exclaiming and cheering, all the students on the hillside jumped down.
But at this time, Kameni's pleased eyes suddenly froze. His ice-cold cheeks twitched slightly.
Only he could tell that the boy deliberately chose this place to fall. And judging from his battle ring, he could still hold on for at least a few hundred meters.
"I read that right. It was definitely a mistake for this brat to become a knight!"
Kameni strode down the hillside, thinking that it was time to put out his hell-style weighted training uniform that terrified all the students in the main camp!
