As the attendant left quickly, not long after, a middle-aged woman wearing a light blue dress, a beige wide-brimmed straw hat, and a thin black gauze covering her face appeared.
Slowly walked into the study.
After entering the door, the woman took off her gloves and lifted her veil, revealing a charming face, smiling without saying a word.
"I'm really sorry, Lord Schilling. I was away from home for something the past few days. I just saw your post today. No, I changed my clothes and came here quickly."
With her piercing eyes, she turned to Wells next to her and smiled at Xilin, "If I had known that you were coming, I wouldn't have gone anywhere. No matter how big the matter was, I would have put it off."
It's clean and ready to welcome you at Babel Tower."
The woman's voice is clear and sweet, and her temperament is elegant and generous. There is a natural affinity in her smile that makes people like her. Even if she is just standing in a silent study, she feels like she is standing in the center of a ball, shining brightly.
"No, Madam, you are too polite," Xilin leaned over and kissed the back of the woman's hand, smiling and saying, "Since you have returned home, all you need to do is send someone to notify me. I will pay you a visit at my house."
How dare I ask you to come here in person?"
"Greetings to you," the Earl of Wales bowed to the side and said respectfully, "my esteemed Marchioness."
The two of them were smiling and talking politely, but in their hearts they were filled with curses.
"This female fox."
"Slut!"
They knew that the woman in front of them was no ordinary person. She was forty-three years old and came from a prominent southern family. She married a powerful marquis at the age of eighteen, became a widow at the age of thirty, and inherited all her father's and husband's families.
Industry.
Originally, people thought that it would be difficult for a woman to support such a huge family business. She would either fail or take advantage of a certain man.
Surviving in the aristocratic jungle is not an easy thing. This is a world that belongs to men. The role of women is just to sing and dance in the ball, to chirp on the sofa in the living room, to cuddle up next to the man or to moan softly on the bed.
.
Whether it is heart, skill, perseverance, courage or intrigues, they are no match for men. Apart from being good at fainting when they see blood and the shadow of swords, they know nothing.
But Mrs. Joyce is an exception. Not only is she no worse than men in everything, but she also has a beautiful face that makes men fascinated when they see her. She knows her advantages well and uses them to the fullest.
In the past thirteen years, this woman whose maiden name is Ruth has not only made the two families prosperous, but also expanded greatly. Now, she has become one of the nobles in the South.
The most untouchable person.
If it was said that when Archduke Adolf was around, it was not Mrs. Joyce's turn to make the decision in Munich, then now, no one can ignore this woman's voice. Whether it is Schilling, who represents the Golden Dragon family, or General Fano, who is staying behind.
.
In terms of financial resources, she alone provides one-third of the food and military expenses for the current Munich garrison. In terms of military strength, the army controlled by her and her friends who follow her lead accounts for two-half of the total military strength in Fano's hands today.
1. Position is of great importance.
Schilling knew that Mrs. Joyce's claim of not being at home was completely an excuse. She had always been there, and she had never even left the house. It was just that before that, he was not important enough to allow this woman who was very good at judging situations to meet him.
.
As time went by, as the situation on the frontline deteriorated and she showed strength in Munich, Mrs. Joyce, who had been observing for a long time, had obviously analyzed the situation and made a judgment.
So, she came. And she came just in time.
At this time, she is the most important weight in Lulian's scale. She is well versed in business management and knows when she can sell it at a good price.
After the three of them exchanged pleasantries, they sat down on the sofa.
"I don't know what Lord Schilling's plan is for coming to Lulian this time," Mrs. Joyce said with a sweet smile. "If it's a sightseeing trip, I'd be a good guide. I'm no worse than you men when it comes to riding horses and hunting."
.”
"Of course." Xilin said with a smile, "I have long heard that Madam is a woman who is not inferior to men, and her archery skills are particularly outstanding. I have admired her for a long time, but I have never been able to meet her. If there is a chance, I must meet her. It's a pity.
Now........."
"What?" Mrs. Joyce picked up the coffee and took a sip.
"With the current situation in Lulian, I'm afraid there is no place for Madam and I to ride our horses and whip to our heart's content." Xilin looked at Mrs. Joyce and said every word.
The topic unfolded quickly, and Wells watched from the sidelines, motionless.
"Lord Schilling is worrying too much," Mrs. Joyce said with a smile without changing her expression. "Although Lulian is not a big place, there are still places for hunting. If Lord Schilling is free, why not go to my hunting ground?"
Show off your skills.”
"I wonder if the hunting ground Madam mentioned is Wangshan City or Qiaoshan City?" Xilin smiled and showed great interest.
Marquise Joyce has two territories. One is Wangshan City, which is located in the north of Lulian. It governs one county and two counties. It is the territory left to her by her father.
The other place is Qiaoshan City, which is located 120 kilometers southeast of Munich. It is the hereditary territory of her husband. It has a wider area and governs two counties and five counties. The total population exceeds 200,000. It is a famous granary of Lulian.
place.
As for these two territories, Wangshan City is currently relatively safe, while Qiaoshan City is located on the only way for the Feili people to go north. It is the transportation chokepoint for Munich City and the major territories in the eastern part of the province. It will only be a matter of time before it is attacked.
matter.
Schilling mentioned these two places to point out Mrs. Joyce's current situation.
Mrs. Joyce lowered her eyelashes and smiled, "Of course I will obey the guest's wishes. Wherever Lord Schilling likes, he will naturally go."
"Wangshan City, you can still enjoy it for a month or two now," Xilin said. "As for Qiaoshan City... I don't know what you think, madam, but I don't dare to go there anyway."
"Oh?" Mrs. Joyce asked beautifully, "Lord Schilling thinks that we Lulians can't defend our territory?"
"No, no, no," Xilin said, "Madam has misunderstood. Neither I nor the Langris family have any contempt for Madam's strength. We fully believe that Madam is capable of defending her territory. But...
"
He poured coffee for Mrs. Joyce diligently and said: "War is something that cannot be controlled by one person. We are not afraid of how powerful the Feili people are. We are just afraid that some people cannot see the situation clearly and attack rashly.
Give the enemy an opportunity."
The room suddenly became quiet, except for the sound of the coffee pot in Xilin's hand pouring into the cup and the wisps of hot steam.
The smile on Mrs. Joyce's face slowly disappeared.
Just as Xilin and Wells expected. She had known about Xilin's arrival. Not only that, in fact, before Xilin's air magic ship entered the airspace of Saint Solan, she had already heard from her friends in the imperial capital.
Know more detailed information.
As the top noble of Lullian, her territory, wealth and roots are here. She and Archduke Adolf can be said to be both prosperous and destructive. In addition, Lulian is traditionally a royal family, so for Lan who comes to disrupt the situation,
She didn't have much favorable impressions of the Lisian people.
However, the situation is different now.
The battle situation on the front line has become increasingly difficult to be optimistic about. The main force of Archduke Adolf's central army has been completely surrounded by Philip's army. Seven days have passed, and there is no news. Not even a letter falcon has flown back.
The Red Leaf Knights and the Twelfth Legion on both wings could only maintain a stalemate after losing contact with the Chinese army.
If this were the case, Mrs. Joyce could still sit still. She could wait until the news about Archduke Adolf before making a decision.
But today, she got news. None of the several scout teams sent to Wanshan County, where the Grand Duke was attacked, came back.
The last news they sent was that countless bodies of Solan soldiers were found around the battlefield. In the mountains and forests, beside the roads, in the farmlands... there were traces of brutal fighting all the way. Now, the area around Wanshan County has been completely destroyed.
They were controlled by the Fei Lie Army. Along the way, they encountered the patrols of the Fei Lie Army several times. The further south they went, the harder it became to avoid them.
After that, these scout teams never sent back any news. It was like they walked into a huge black hole and disappeared without a trace.
Although she has never been on the battlefield, Marquise Joyce, who has several senior military advisers, knows the war as well as any soldier. She knows that it is the result of the Philip Army's strong efforts to conceal battlefield information. These scouts
The team's ending, without exception, was killed by Fei Lie's Falcon.
It can be seen that even if Archduke Adolf is still alive, the possibility of breaking through with his own strength is extremely slim.
Lulian can lose anyone, but they cannot lose their leader.
Therefore, in recent days, General Fano has begun to make preparations for military rescue. The newly recruited recruits have stepped up their training. The rabble-rousing soldiers who signed up were given weapons and equipment as soon as they entered the barracks. The officers spent all day in the barracks looking at maps.
There were endless quarrels, and a large amount of supplies and noble armed forces gathered in Munich from various places.
For Mrs. Joyce, this is definitely not a wise decision. You must know that their troops are already stretched thin, and the new defeat situation on the front line is unknown. The generals in the rear should concentrate on stabilizing the defense line and holding on to Munich.
If you rush in rashly, you may very well fall into the trap set by the Fei Lie Empire. By then, Archduke Adolf will not be able to save him, and he will have to be buried with the entire Lulian!
Mrs. Joyce understands this truth, and Fano understands it even more. However, as Adolf's friend who grew up with him and his most loyal subordinate, he had no other choice and could not listen to other people's opinions.
Because of this, Marquise Joyce chose to come here. She needed to find a way out before all of Lulian fell into the abyss.
In less than five sentences after meeting, Xilin had already pointed out the problems she was currently facing. Obviously, this Langrisian had been watching with cold eyes for a long time and was well aware of Lulian's current situation and the contradictions within it.
After taking a careful look at Xilin, Mrs. Joyce's expression relaxed. Since Xilin understands everything, it means that he has a solution. In this case, the next step is just bargaining.
When it comes to fighting, she doesn't know how to do it, but when it comes to bargaining, she's not afraid of anyone.
"The coffee is really good," Mrs. Joyce nodded gracefully, "Thank you."
"It's shipped from Banan. Each one is worth as much as gold. If it can win Madam's favor, it's worth the price." Xilin smiled slightly and put down the coffee pot, "I don't know what Madam has in the current situation.
Intend?"
"What plans can I, a woman, have?" Mrs. Joyce shook her silk fan gently and glanced at Xilin with a charming look. She said plaintively, "My lord, you are always resourceful, so why don't you help me with some ideas?"
"There's nothing I can do about Lulian's situation," Xilin calmly lit a cigar. He waited until Mrs. Joyce's eyes became a little strange, then slowly said, "However, for Madam, the Langris family is willing to lend a hand.
Help."
Mrs. Joyce stopped holding the fan in her hand and looked at Xilin quietly, her eyes twinkling.
"You might as well open the skylight and speak frankly," Xilin said. "Madam, you should know that my young master was promoted to a paladin a month ago."
"Of course I know this," Mrs. Joyce said sincerely, "Lord Augustus is extremely talented. He was promoted to a Paladin at the age of twenty-two, which is unprecedented."
"Then Madam, you should also know that August next year will be the period of competition in the imperial capital," Xilin said proudly, "The ultimate winner is none other than me, Lanris."
Mrs. Joyce nodded.
The entire Saint Solan knows about the plans of the Lanlith people.
Judging from the current situation, there is little suspense for Augustus to win the princess. In August next year, the Lanlith people will take over Solan and the dust will settle. Even if Edward can still sit on the throne for a few years, he will eventually
It cannot change the general trend.
Although Xilin's words are a bit rude to the Solan people, they are a fact that no one can deny.
If you want to blame, you can only blame the Solan royal family for not having enough people, and the only blame is that Princess Aleshia's fiancé was too short-lived and died too early, giving the people of Lanlith this opportunity.
"I don't want to cover up anything for the family," Xilin said. "Everyone has ambitions. Maybe you can't realize your ambitions, it depends on your strength. Lanrith has never denied ambitions, because we have the strength...
.”
With that said, he stood up, took two steps, faced Mrs. Joyce, and said slowly, "Madam, you are a smart person, and you should understand that Solan is a broken ship now. No matter which side you are on,
There is no benefit whatsoever.
Although Donald has ambitions, if Solan falls into his hands, things will only get worse. Moreover, Madam, you are a Lulian noble and cannot be trusted by him.
As for His Majesty Edward, it is difficult to protect himself now. His power comes from the royal family's more eye-catching performance than Donald in the early stages of the war. But now that Longmen has been lost, Lulian was defeated, and the Grand Duke's life or death is uncertain, the situation has taken a turn for the worse...
..”
Having said this, Xilin smiled: "Under such circumstances, who else can Madam count on?"
Mrs. Joyce smiled coquettishly and said: "Of course it's you, Lord Schilling."
Xilin said calmly: "With the fall of Lulian, my wife's territory will not be spared. However, as long as you are willing to be friends with the Langris family, the family can guarantee that no matter how much you lose now, you will gain more in the future."
"The future?" Mrs. Joyce shook her silk fan.
"Madam, please believe," Xilin said, "the Lanlith family will not continue to watch like this. Madam also understands the influence of the family in the Pompeii Empire. If we want to send troops, one hundred thousand Pompeii cavalry can go south at any time...
....”
A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "The only difference is that the purpose of sending troops is different."
Mrs. Joyce and Wells' pupils shrank, and their hearts were filled with confusion.
Although the Pompeii Empire had been holding its ground since the war broke out, no one would ignore this huge and ferocious beast. And no one would naively think that the Pompeii Empire would just sit back and watch as the Phillies took away the fat in front of them.
The only reason why they didn't send troops was because of the forcible suppression by the Principality of Lanlith. It was because there was still an appointment for a competition in the imperial capital!
As Schilling said, the Lanlithians had great influence in the Pompeii Empire. Even the Emperor of Pompeii had to look at the expression of Grand Duke Xize of Lanlith. With their strength, one hundred thousand cavalry immediately went south. This is not bragging.
!
When it comes to which stage they have reached, the only thing they need to consider is the purpose of sending troops. To put it bluntly, whether they are knights who support justice or robbers who burn, kill and loot.
If the Principality of Lanlith can get the support and attachment of the Solan nobles, they will patiently follow the original plan, win the knight contest, and use the name of the Solan royal family to control the Solan Empire without taking risks. This is what the people of Lanlith do
consistent style.
At that time, when they send troops, they will appear as knights to help the Solan Empire resist foreign enemies. This is equivalent to protecting their own territory.
But once they lose the dependence of the Saint Solan nobles and lose their patience, then they will appear as robbers, just like the Feili people, and even join in the crime. Together they will tear Saint Solan to pieces and swallow him alive.
For Solan nobles like the Marquess Joyce and the Earl of Wells, it doesn't matter what they look like. What matters is that they understand their current situation and the ambitions and abilities of the Langrith family.
The situation in Lulian has reached a critical moment. Perhaps in the next second, unbearable news will come from the south.
If Adolf is defeated and dies, if the front line collapses, none of the nobles rooted in this land, including Mrs. Joyce and Wells, will be able to escape.
Just like those nobles in the south who lost their territories. No matter how wealthy they were in the past, they are now just a group of panic refugees in Munich!
Xilin can't guarantee the present, and the Lanrith family can't stop Fei Lie's cavalry. But they can guarantee the future. They can promise to lose now and get more in the future!
In this torrent of war, this is a life-saving boat.
Now is the time to get on board. It's your chance.
After a long silence, Mrs. Joyce chuckled and said, "I wonder what Lord Schilling needs me to do?"
A satisfied smile appeared on Xilin's face and he sat down.
"I know, madam, you don't want to send troops to rescue Archduke Adolf. Your troops are insufficient. It would be too dangerous to attack rashly." Xilin said, "The family's request is just to let madam conserve your strength. The longer it takes, the longer it takes."
The better.”
Marquise Joyce took a sip of coffee, thoughtfully.
This request is actually not a request. She originally had the same idea. However, her own was just an idea. And when the words came out of Xilin's mouth, it was not an idea, but a knife.
The knife that killed Adolf!
"I have no problem here," Mrs. Joyce half-closed her eyes. After a long time, she made up her mind and asked. "But, Lord Schilling, you have to know that our strength cannot compete with the Munich Guards. If the law
General Nuo sends troops forcefully, I'm afraid no one can stop him."
This is true. In terms of numbers, the private armed forces of the nobles may be able to compete with the Munich City Guard. However, as far as the knights are concerned, they are far inferior.
There are only two honorary knights and a dozen justice knights under Mrs. Joyce's command, and there are even fewer other nobles. Once a conflict breaks out, the noble army will not be able to suppress it in terms of high-end force.
"Madam, you can rest assured about this," Xilin leisurely puffed out a puff of smoke and sneered, "Don't forget, behind you is our Langris family!"
............
............
There are many more people in the military camp in the south of Munich than in the past.
The nobles who came from all over the country led their soldiers, either training on the playground, or reporting under the clerk's arbor to count points.
Some of the aristocratic troops looked very regular, with their armor well-equipped and well-organized. Some looked like they were just temporarily organized peasants. Many of them only wore commoners, were barefoot, and held crude homemade weapons in their hands.
In addition to the private soldiers of the nobles, there are also many mercenaries and free knights who have joined the ragtag army and are also walking around.
They looked tougher than the soldiers armed by ordinary nobles, but they were also less disciplined. Since their arrival, the number of fights in the military camp has increased a lot.
To this end, the Munich City Guard added patrol teams and military judges. Teams patrolled continuously. Everyone looked serious and cold.
Because the situation on the front line is critical, whether it is offensive or defensive, everything is imminent. Therefore, as soon as every new recruit enters the military camp, he is immediately taken away by the veterans of the Munich City Guard, who race against time to recruit and strengthen training.
The twenty large and small playgrounds in the entire military camp have all been occupied by training teams. Under the scorching sun, there are roars and dust is flying.
The Munich City Guard is currently the backbone of the army.
Among the three armies under Archduke Adolf, they are the only one that does not need to operate to make money. On weekdays, in addition to training, they are only responsible for local security in Lulian, border patrols, and extermination of bandits.
In terms of organizational nature, they can be called an army in the strict sense than the Bavarian Knights and Coastal Mercenaries.
After the news of Archduke Adolf's defeat came, the Guards went into full operation under Fano's order. The city defense work was handed over to a large number of noble private soldiers and ragtag troops. Everyone was prepared and ready to attack at any time.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Fano stared at the huge sheepskin map, his brows knitted together tightly.
On the map, a huge red circle marked Wanshan County. Two red arrows representing the Fei Lie Army, one on the left and one on the right, surrounded the entire area watertight.
Judging from the information obtained by the scouts, it was the Second Regiment of the Fei Lie Frontier Army. The total number of people is unknown. What is known is that there is also a Knights of the Golden Order among them, as well as the Snow Wolf Knights who have been active in the south since the beginning of the war.
Team support.
In addition, on both wings, there are two armies of Philippe, parallel to the center, forming a trident and approaching north. The Red Leaf Knights and the Twelfth Legion were pressed tightly by these two armies.
.The two sides fought fiercely in an area covering hundreds of square kilometers. It was a tug-of-war.
After Adolf's accident, the Red Leaf Knights and the Twelfth Legion both tried to move closer to Wanshan County, but were held back. They also sent troops to try to break through the blockade of Fei Lie's army and rescue Adolf. But all failed.
And return.
What's even more worrying is that with the fall of Adolf's Central Army, the Red Leaf Knights and the Twelfth Army have been separated and unable to maintain a complete line of defense. Strategically speaking, their current situation is extremely dangerous.
Once the Fei Lie Empire clears the obstacles on the way forward in the center or on both wings and seizes control of several counties next to Wanshan County, then they can concentrate their efforts on attacking Hongye and one of the Twelve Legions.
In that case, the defense line will completely collapse.
Therefore, in recent days, both the Red Leaf Knights and the Twelfth Legion have proposed a proactive retreat. Without Archduke Adolf's support from the Chinese army, the two armies could only retreat to the front line of Meiding City in order to escape from being attacked from both sides.
possible.
However, once they left, Archduke Adolf really had no hope.
Looking at Wanshan County, Fano punched the map hard, stood up, and walked quickly with his hands behind his back. After turning around several times, he calmed down and stopped.
The mission of the Munich City Guard is to guard the city of Munich. As the capital and political and economic center of Lulian, Munich is also the most important military location in the southern part of the empire. Not only does it have developed transportation, but it also has several grain-producing areas.
In the barren and cold land of salvation, it is simply a cornucopia of places.
The city of Munich was equivalent to the grain output of two or three provinces of Frederick's Empire. How could Peter I not be jealous of this?
By capturing this place, Feifei's Southern Army has gained a firm foothold and no longer has to worry about being driven into the sea. Relying on this place, they can echo each other with Duke Benson's troops in the east, attack front and back, and sweep across the entire country.
Empire South.
Fano understood the importance of Munich City very well, and also understood that after the fall of Wanshan County, the enemy could completely bypass the front line of Meding City from the east and approach the city. However, without Archduke Adolf, Munich City could not be defended either.
!
Although none of the scouts he sent came back, Fano firmly believed that the Grand Duke was still alive.
The Grand Duke's central army numbered more than 20,000 people. Although he was attacked by a sneak attack, more than a quarter of the people were killed and countless others were defeated. But the Grand Duke was surrounded by elites of the Bavarian Knights and a coastal mercenary group. Want to
To annihilate the entire force of the Princess with just one sneak attack would be too fantastic.
The more important basis to support this idea is that there is a small town called Luotuo'ao at the junction of Wanshan County and Qingshui County, southwest of where the Grand Duke was stationed at that time!
Fano once visited this small town with Archduke Adolf and knew it well.
It belongs to the fiefdom of Sofia's mother's natal family and is rich in a kind of fungus called milk mushroom, which is used to bake snails and is the most delicious. With beautiful mountains and clear waters and cool climate, it has always been the Grand Duke's favorite summer resort.
If the prediction is correct, the Grand Duke will definitely go there and wait for reinforcements with the help of the densely forested terrain surrounded by mountains, which is not suitable for large-scale cavalry operations.
Fano didn't know what Archduke Adolf's situation was now, but he understood that even if everything went as he had most optimistically estimated, he would not have much time left for him.
He pondered, tapping his fingers lightly on the map-covered table, picked up the riding whip, turned around and strode out of the camp.
"Prepare your horses and go to the three major training camps!"
............................
............................
E Brigade Castle.
On the dusty training ground, there was no other sound except the roar of instructors, the sound of running footsteps, and the clash of swords.
While training, the students would always look at Roy involuntarily.
For several days in a row, Kevin came to the south gate of the college on time to take the challenge. This has become a scene in Munich. People coming from the north and south gathered around the square and talked about it. Every student who came in and out couldn't hold their heads up.
Come.
Now, everyone consciously avoids the south gate when entering or exiting the campus. They would rather take a long detour than face the contemptuous sneers and pointing fingers of the Lanlis people. That makes them feel ashamed and embarrassed.
Because of this incident, the atmosphere within the college has become a little delicate.
The aristocratic students who were low-key and silent some time ago have recently gathered together in twos and threes. When civilian students pass by them, they will always hear some sarcastic voices.
"Look, our brave commoner knights are so energetic when fighting among themselves. How come they give in when they meet someone who is more powerful than themselves?"
"It's really ridiculous. Think about how they defended their dignity before, and then look at it now. It's such a stark contrast."
"We should have transferred to other training camps just like Siwok and others, so as not to suffer this humiliation because of them now."
"Since you dare to cause trouble, you must dare to take responsibility. What kind of men are you if you don't dare to fight when someone bullies you at the door? I used to think that we went too far, hey. Now it seems that they are born to be mean!"
Faced with these sarcastic remarks, the civilian students could only remain silent.
Not long ago, Roy's battle at the Archduke's Ball made all the students who were oppressed by the nobles proud. This was the first time since they joined the training camp that they truly realized the dignity of being a knight.
From that day on, the atmosphere in the college changed. Those who followed the noble students and flattered them were looked down upon. When there was a conflict or dispute with the noble students, everyone could straighten their backs and argue with each other.
They no longer walk on thin ice with fear, no longer swallow their anger and dare not speak out. They enjoy the increasingly equal, free and relaxed atmosphere in the academy. Every time they mention the struggle between Roy and the noble students, they are full of admiration.
Not everyone can have the courage like Roy. Without Roy, they might have to wait a long time for this day to come.
But no one expected that in just half a month, the person who brought them all this would destroy it all with his own hands.
This was unacceptable to every civilian student. They didn't believe that Roy was a coward, or that he didn't even have the courage to fight. But the fact that Roy flatly refused to fight made their excuses so feeble.
In addition to the aristocratic children, the teachings of Diarra's line have also become active recently. Diarra may still maintain his identity and remain silent, while Farley and some of the teachings have criticized them in public several times.
"This is the biggest shame since the establishment of the First Training Camp! A shame for all of us!"
"I'm not targeting anyone. I'm targeting this matter! All of us are watching to see how long he will hide!"
"Knights are not about personal bravery, but glory, spirit, and virtue. A person who dares not face challenges and insults is not qualified to be a knight. No matter how many people defend him or excuse him, the facts are the facts!"
"If he doesn't fight, if he turns a deaf ear to the insults we have received, we will never tolerate such a person in training camp. No matter who he is, no matter how talented he is, we will never
Sending a name with a despicable character into the knight's hall is an insult to the name knight!"
As the matter escalated, verbal and written criticism of Roy also became rampant. Under the instigation of some thoughtful people, accusations against Roy were overwhelming in the college. There was a tendency to knock him to the ground and then step on his feet again.
But what is puzzling is that Roy ignored them all, whether he was persuading or insulting, whether it was friends or anyone else. He was as stubborn as a stone. He would always say two words to anyone who asked him.
"Don't go!"
What is especially incomprehensible is that not only Roy, but also the instructors and dean Gustas of Team E have a careless attitude. It seems that Roy does not accept the challenge, which is natural and natural. It seems that Kevin is humiliated.
, it’s not the first training camp at all.
It is their unprincipled favoritism that builds a strong protective wall around Roy, allowing Roy, who is at the forefront of the storm, to turn a deaf ear to anyone's words and live his life like no one else.
The students were secretly looking at Roy, while on the castle walls, a dozen instructors from different brigades were watching the students' changing battle formations.
Tomorrow is the internal academy challenge.
It was during the war, so the significance of this challenge was particularly different.
According to the rules announced by the academy a few days ago, the winner of this challenge will not only receive generous training resources such as fantasy tower points, funds, training equipment, and elixirs, but will also receive better weapons and equipment than other teams.
These weapons and equipment were prepared by the Solan royal family and the Grand Duke Lulian family for the three major training camps decades ago. The purpose is to be able to arm this new force and put it into the battlefield when war comes one day.
The students in the three major training camps are all valuable assets of the empire. Therefore, the equipment built for them is much better than the standard equipment of ordinary knights. Moreover, it is carefully maintained by dedicated personnel every year. If there is any rust or damage, it will be repaired in time.
Repair and replacement.
In previous years, students had only heard of these equipments but had never seen them before. They had always been kept in Archduke Adolf's arsenal. But this time, after General Fano received the news of Archduke Adolf's defeat, he immediately sent the equipment to him.
Coming.
Facing the coming cruel war, a good set of weapons and equipment is of extremely practical significance to any student.
This batch of equipment is divided into two types: elite level and ordinary level. The elite level weapons and equipment are made from Mo Tie mixed with magic copper. Not to mention the cash-strapped civilian students, even the aristocratic students are also coveted by them.
Originally, elite-level equipment and ordinary-level equipment were distributed to each brigade in proportion.
On the battlefield, a brigade is an independent combat unit. Proportional distribution can ensure that outstanding students in each brigade have the opportunity to obtain some elite-level equipment, thus forming the core combat effectiveness of the brigade.
This is the foundation and skeleton of an army. When two armies are fighting, as long as the core combat team does not collapse, the army cannot collapse.
In order to turn these young rookies in the training camp into a real army, the instructors of each brigade must complete the training of battle formations and basic marching and fighting knowledge before going to the battlefield, and select elites to form a core team.
This shows the importance of those elite weapons and equipment.
However, during the academy meeting, Diarra, Farley and others forcefully included the distribution of equipment into the challenge. According to the rules they set, elite equipment will be divided among the top three teams.
This move not only made Brigade E angry, but also the teachers of Brigade D and Brigade C, who had always kept a low profile and remained neutral, found it unbearable.
Any idiot knows what Farley is up to.
Farley did not hide it. Especially after Roy rejected Kevin's challenge, he was even more convincing.
"Only the best knights deserve the best equipment. Only they can reflect the value of the equipment. These things are not for garbage!"
