When the sound of galloping horse hooves, the shouts of officers and the enthusiastic training of soldiers came from the main camp and the front camp of the Chinese army, the rear camp was also in a state of turmoil.
However, unlike the majestic and enthusiastic atmosphere of the front and middle camps, a layer of dark clouds seemed to be hanging over the rear camp, and the atmosphere was dull. Both the patrolling soldiers and the working men were quiet,
Listless. From a distance, they look like a group of ghosts.
Roy is standing on the playground.
Beside him were more than 90 freshmen of the same grade, more than 70 second-year students and more than 60 third-year students. A total of 227 people. Without exception, all of them were from the first training camp.
Students in the brigade.
The sun has penetrated the thin clouds on the horizon.
More than two hundred students, against the background of the civilians and soldiers running around in a chaotic manner, were like wooden stakes nailed in place, drawing out motionless shadows diagonally under the sunlight.
They have been standing here since four o'clock, when they were told to get up.
For four whole hours of prayer, no one paid attention to them. The escort soldiers who pushed them out of bed asked them to line up, left a word of "waiting", and went back to the barracks to continue sleeping. Those who accompanied them,
It's just the getting brighter sky, and the looks of surprise, pity, or curiosity from the people who get up to work.
For them in the academy, who have to undergo Kameni's devil training every morning, such standing still and waiting is nothing. But precisely because it is meaningless, everyone feels particularly breathless.
No one understands what the guys in the escort team want to do. They have never had a good look since they entered the camp. Especially the officers in the escort team, who are all evil-looking. It seems that they have accepted more than two hundred students.
For them, it is an annoying nuisance.
Under the influence of their indifferent attitude, those soldiers who seemed very enthusiastic and chatted and laughed with everyone when we first entered the camp also wisely stayed away from them.
They stepped into the military camp with great ambitions, but received such a cold reception and blow. Everyone's heart felt a little cold. There was a cruel gap between the reality of military camp life and their previous romantic fantasies. What kind of ambition to make achievements?
Ambition, now that I think about it, seems like a joke.
"***." Giles stood beside Roy, gritted his teeth and whispered, "If I had known this, I might as well have joined the rabble army!"
"Yes." A student said angrily, "Why are we assigned to the rear camp? When it comes to killing the enemy in battle, we will not lose to others."
"These bastards," Giles turned to look at the location of the officers' barracks and said bitterly, "I don't know how we offended them. When we met, our noses were not noses and eyes were not eyes. We tortured people in various ways.
Until now, Griffin has not been released."
Roy lowered his head, listened, and said nothing. In the eyes of people passing by, this confused boy was no different from the stupid rookies next to him.
However, compared to the rookies around him, Roy knows the rules of the army better. When new recruits enter the camp, they are scolded or even beaten. It is not a big deal. The ranks between officers of different ranks and soldiers of different ranks
The system is so strict that it even goes beyond the relationship between the nobles and their subjects.
Compared with the blood-soaked siege, the interception of cavalry and lances, and the reconnaissance behind enemy lines, waiting here for a few prayers is not even torture. At best, it is just a tease.
That’s all.
However, this was also what he couldn't understand the most.
From the assignment in the camp to the attitude of the escort officers in the rear camp, there is an abnormal atmosphere. It seems that there is some kind of force targeting the E Brigade of the First Training Battalion behind the scenes!
Otherwise, the guards, who are officers drawn from the private armies of lords from all over the world, have never even seen the students in person on weekdays. How could there be any contradictions, so that even the knight students of our three major training camps will have the identity of the future imperial force?
, targeted without any regard?
Because he had just entered the military camp and couldn't even name the officers, Roy just thought about this kind of thing casually and didn't expect to find the answer. Thinking about it made his brain hurt, so he just put it aside. During those few prayers just now,
Inside, he spent most of the time practicing in secret.
Anyway, usually at four o'clock, he was pushed out of bed by two tough guys, Sword Spirit and Axe Spirit. Standing here for four hours of prayer was just enough to complete two meditations and dozens of weekly dharma exercises. Compared with normal days,
When Li Na mentioned it, it was like two tears of hard work, which was no different from being lazy and taking a vacation.
It's a pity that there is no magic tower here, so the efficiency is greatly reduced.
However, Roy is not the one who is most depressed about this.
Although Roy cultivates faster in the Fantasy Tower, his speed is not much slower after leaving the Fantasy Tower. After all, no matter how strong his spiritual power is, his current absorption ability is limited. Unlike the bottomless pit of the Lord Judgment Spirit, leaving
After entering the Fantasy Tower, Roy could feel this guy's dissatisfaction every day.
The practice in the dark camp fantasy tower room some time ago has allowed the main spirit domain opened by the main spirit to become increasingly expanded and stable. According to the sword spirit and the axe spirit, after a while, the ruling main spirit will be able to obtain enough
The energy has evolved again. With no food at this juncture, no wonder it loses its temper.
Roy is actually looking forward to the evolution of the ruling.
According to Austin, this key that unlocks the seal of the final battlefield has the ability to open space. The last evolution, Judgment opened the passage to the other end of the Broken Sky Mountain Range, so where can it open this time?
A treasure house full of treasures?
Or is it the boudoir of a beautiful lady who is naturally charming and passionate?
Standing in the queue, Roy was wandering and thinking wildly.
At this moment, only a horn blowing was heard. Hundreds of soldiers walked out of the barracks and rushed to the playground to gather in formation. After waiting for a few more minutes, they saw a group of officers who had finished breakfast in the distance, standing beside their respective guards.
Surrounded by people, they walked over leisurely, chatting and laughing.
When they walked up to the students who were lined up, no one looked at them. They just chatted and wore armor and swords under the service of the soldiers. After everyone was fully dressed, one of them glanced coldly.
He glanced at it and said: "Standing quite neatly."
The other officers also glanced over with cold faces. The joy of talking and joking just now was wiped away from their faces.
"Stand up if your name is called." The officer who spoke before unfolded a parchment and called, "First Squadron, First Squadron, Toti, Franklin, Fontos"
As he called his name, students walked out of the queue one by one. Every time a group was called out, the officer would stop for a while and wait for the officer next to him to come forward and lead them away. Then he started to call out the next group.
Within a quarter of an hour, more than two hundred students had been dispersed and assigned to different escort teams in batches.
Which team each person is assigned to has been determined before. However, the previous two days were spent reporting in, and today is the official joining the team.
Roy was assigned to the New Team Seven. There were thirty people in the same team, twenty private soldiers of the lords, and ten students. Apart from himself, he also knew Griffin, Julie, and Meng Meng.
The rest are six students from second and third grade respectively.
What Roy didn't expect was that their captain was the stern-faced low-ranking sergeant he met at the gate of the rear camp yesterday!
"My name is Hope, and I will be your captain from today on." In the corner of the training ground, Hope hugged his arms and smiled ferociously, "Remember my name. If you can't remember it now, it doesn't matter. It won't be long.
.I promise you will never forget even your dreams!"
"When you enter the military camp, you must understand the rules of the military camp."
"What are the rules? My words are the rules!"
"Whether it's training or working, or even sleeping, you have to listen to me! Whatever I ask you to do, you have to do it for me honestly. Don't think about your previous status. Here, your
My status is that of the lowest soldier. Forget this, I will..."
Amidst Hope's roar, the students were silent. No one knew Hope, and no one understood why this guy showed such obvious hostility when they met.
Yes, this is hostility. It is violent and cold, making people feel uncomfortable all over. It is completely different from the severity of teachers such as Kameni and Hessen, who are full of expectations and concerns.
"Why," Hope slowly walked past the young faces with indifferent expressions, and finally stood in front of Roy, released two battle rings, stared into his eyes and said, "What you said to me is wrong.
Are you not convinced?"
Four-star brave knight!
The hearts of the students present sank. No one thought that this guy with a sinister face could actually possess such strength.
Roy lowered his eyelids and avoided Hope's provocative gaze.
He has seen many people like this.
When they were in the city of Borabel, the chief knight Buck and his nephew Andrew had this kind of virtue. When they traveled to the mainland with their grandfather, slave traders, bandits, gangsters and low-level knights under a certain lord who bullied others from all three religions,
It is also this kind of virtue.
In the growth experience and minds of these people, there are never words like being kind to others and being restrained. They only kowtow to those in high positions and bully those who are weaker than themselves.
With greater power than others, they commit murder and arson, and commit all kinds of evil. Not to mention face-to-face conflicts, even if the barmaid moves a little slower when serving drinks, they can swing their fists as big as sand bowls and beat a woman until her nose is bruised and her face is swollen beyond recognition.
.
This type of people usually have a strong desire for power. Even in slums and prisons, living a muddy life, they will coerce some weak people to serve them and feel proud.
Roy doesn't want to have any direct conflict with Hope for the time being.
Although judging from the fluctuations of fighting spirit in Hope's battle ring and his wolf-like gaze that intentionally or unintentionally stares at his vitals, it is obvious that the opponent has good strength and rich combat experience, which is enough to suppress those who generally only have one or two stars in weapons.
A student of the E-Brigade.
However, this did not scare Roy.
With his current strength alone, he is completely confident to compete head-on with any knight below the level of justice. What's more, in his body, there are two major guardians, the sword spirit and the ax spirit. There is also the fire-winged spirit devourer in his uniform.
A, the ghost knife chain in the space ring, and the high-level magic scroll given by Williams.
If he wanted to, he could kill the brave knight in front of him to pieces at any time!
The reason why he didn't want to conflict with Hope was because when Hope stopped in front of him and looked into his eyes, he suddenly realized that the reason why Team E was treated like this was probably because of himself!
As soon as this idea flashed through my mind, many things suddenly had explanations.
Dean Gustas once said that the attitudes of the nobles on the matter of rescuing Archduke Adolf were not consistent.
Roy once doubted the authenticity of the news.
As subjects of the Principality of Lullian, the co-rulers of this land, the noble lords and their monarch, Grand Duke Adolf, are both prosperous and suffer losses. If Grand Duke Adolf makes any mistakes, it will not be of any benefit to these nobles.
.
What's more important is that even if someone has the intention to abandon the Grand Duke and protect his own life, he would not dare to say it. You must know that this is a serious crime of betraying the lord. Once someone is reported, it will immediately be a disaster of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.
Therefore, no matter how you look at it, this is impossible.
However, Roy suddenly found that he had forgotten a person and the power behind him. If they were placed in Lulian at this moment, no matter how bizarre things were, they would become logical.
The Langleys family!
Schilling!
Although they came here because of themselves, how could they let go of such a great opportunity to make trouble for Archduke Adolf so easily?
Roy's mind was spinning.
Almost instantly, he figured out the key.
He is almost certain that the news Gustas received is true. Moreover, the differences between the nobles are no longer just verbal. The Langris family has already participated in it, using their promises to win over and make people
Irresistible influence. Many people gathered.
For some nobles, this is a choice without hesitation.
From the perspective of future prospects, one side is the powerful Langris family, and the other side is Archduke Adolf, who is unable to save himself. But from the reality point of view, one side is to give up the rescue and preserve strength, and the other side is to invest the manpower and material resources accumulated over many years of business.
To fight for others in a gamble with extremely low odds of winning.
Comparing the two, which one is better, it is not difficult to come up with the answer. Especially with the support of the Langris family behind them, the nobles are more courageous!
In this way, it can be explained why only Team E of the First Training Camp was sent to the rear camp, and why this guy named Hope stopped in front of him with a friendly look in his eyes.
These people are private soldiers of the nobles. They are strangers to the students like themselves and have no conflicts. If there is no lord behind them to speak out, they have no courage and no need to do this.
And as for who made the request to their master so that they could insert their hands into the military camp, then there is no need to ask?
Roy's mind was quick and agile, and in a short period of time, he had already guessed a lot from a seemingly unrelated matter.
Looking at Hope with ferocious eyes, Roy cursed in his heart.
"idiot!"
If the facts are as I guessed, this guy is just cannon fodder!
He was gearing up to deal with himself because he received an order from a certain big shot. I'm afraid he wouldn't know that he was just a small pawn in someone else's chess game.
Of course, Roy would not look down upon such a guy.
There are some things that big shots cannot do, and only this kind of people can do them. No matter how big the plan is, the final action will fall on these executors.
In some cases, they are more difficult to deal with.
After thinking about this, the expression on Roy's face became more honest and honest, and his eyes did not contact Hope at all. Instead of struggling with such a guy, it would be better to find a way to find out the person behind him.
Seeing the boy avoiding his gaze, Hope's lips curved into a sneer.
He didn't know who this kid was, and he didn't understand why the higher-ups named him to deal with this guy. Anyway, if he fell into his own hands, he would be unlucky!
"Take them to work," he told his subordinates behind him, then turned to Roy and said, "You, follow me."
"Can't you bear it anymore?"
Roy thought to himself as he followed Hope through the playground and came to a warehouse where goods were being unloaded.
This is one of the twelve granaries in the back camp. The rectangular building made of huge stones is 36 meters long, 20 meters wide and 12 meters high. It is huge. In front of the open door, hundreds of people are like busy people.
Like ants, they surrounded sixteen heavy-duty carriages loaded with grain bags to carry goods.
As soon as they saw Hope approaching, the peasants quickly opened a passage and came out. A warehouse manager responsible for guarding and counting ran over diligently led by several burly men.
"Your job today is to unload the goods." Hope hugged her arms and whispered a few words in the ear of the warehouse manager.
Kuang Guan understood the idea and said to Roy: "Come here!"
I saw him leading Roy to a carriage. The peasants who were unloading the goods noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere and dispersed. The few peasants standing on the tall carriage were still in a daze, and were immediately
The two warehouse guards who climbed into the car were driven off.
"Stand still, catch it!"
The two guards on the carriage roared and struggled to lift a bag of grain weighing hundreds of kilograms. At the same time, they waved their hands and threw it at Roy.
This time, the civilians who were watching were startled and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Everyone knows Hope. They know that this guy is arrogant and vicious by nature and likes to bully others. Therefore, when they saw him bringing the black-haired boy over, they all knew that the boy was going to be in trouble.
Among the work in the back camp, the heaviest and most difficult part is this kind of transportation work. Those who can be sent here are all healthy and strong men, and all of them have a strong arm. But even they have to do a job
When the boy came down, he was too tired to straighten his back. Not to mention this thin boy.
However, even though they knew that the boy was going to be unlucky, they still didn't expect that Hope's hands were so dark.
A bag of grain weighs a full 100 kilograms. When everyone is working, the two people above are carrying it and slowly putting it down. The two people below are working together, holding hands, and placing it behind the bending bearer.
on the back.
But the two guards actually dropped the grain bag from a height of more than two meters. If it were them, they would have been smashed to the ground. Even two bones were broken, which is nothing unusual.
This is simply killing people!
"Pop!" There was a muffled sound.
The exclamations suddenly stopped. Everyone was shocked to find that the grain bag hit the young man's back, and the young man's body did not even move. A pair of legs that were not strong, held up steadily, as if it had fallen on the back.
It's not a hundred kilograms of grain, but a bag of light cotton.
Not only were the common people shocked, but even the treasurer was dumbfounded.
A grain bag weighing hundreds of kilograms was struck down from the air with more than two or three times of force. But that boy actually caught it so easily?
The warehouse manager turned to look at Hope. Hope had a livid face and winked at him.
The warehouse manager waved his hand, and the two guards in the car flashed a fierce look in their eyes. They lifted up the grain bag and pretended to shout: "Here it comes, catch it!"
There were two more muffled sounds. Two large bags were slammed down from the carriage and landed on the first grain bag carried by the young man.
The civilians on the side turned pale when they saw it, and they all gnashed their teeth and were filled with righteous indignation. The young man was already carrying a bag of grain. The two bags were smashed down one after another without any gap. Together, they had a force of at least a thousand kilograms.
.Even a cow would be killed if it was hit like this!
This is murder!
Peng! When the third bag of grain was smashed down, Roy felt as if a hill was pressing down on him, and all the muscles and bones in his body were overwhelmed by this terrifying pressure. Seeing his feet go weak, the magic core in his lower abdomen suddenly accelerated.
, vigorous fighting spirit came out from the body.
Two battle rings exploded, supporting his legs.
"It's the brave knight!"
"So young!"
The civilians were in an uproar. No one thought that such a young boy could already possess the strength of a brave knight! How could such a young man be sent to the rear camp to do such work?
Amidst the chaotic discussion, Roy walked into the warehouse carrying his bag unsteadily.
Damn it!
Looking at Roy's back, Hope's face turned livid. He didn't expect that the news he had received said that this boy had armed strength, but at this moment he turned into a brave knight. Although the three hundred kilogram grain bag was heavy, it was not enough for someone with two weapons.
For a brave knight with a battle ring, it is nothing.
"Let him finish all the work here alone!"
Hope told the treasurer angrily, frowned and left.
You have to think of another way to torture this kid!
