One night passed. When the sun rose from the Broken Sky Mountains in the east, Munich ushered in a new day.
Under the fiery morning glow, the city was bustling with traffic and bustling with people. People with different identities and professions began to rush back and forth according to their own tracks.
Mercenaries, merchants, nobles, poor people - the trajectories of everyone are intertwined with each other.
Maybe it's just carriages and pedestrians passing by on the road, maybe it's just a hello between acquaintances, maybe it's just a short stop in front of a stall. But it is these intersecting trajectories that constitute the prosperity of this city.
The atmosphere in the city is much calmer than yesterday.
Soldiers holding spears and policemen on horseback were extremely eye-catching in the bustling crowd. Sentries were also strengthened at major institutions and intersections. Civilians and craftsmen were repairing public facilities and houses damaged in the rebellion, occasionally
Arrested criminals could be seen passing by under the escort of soldiers.
All the topics on the streets are still the same as yesterday’s great changes.
People were still frightened. According to later statistics, more than 400 people were killed in this conflict, most of them ordinary civilians.
Among the dead, there were more or less people they knew, relatives, friends, or neighbors. Therefore, when everyone talked about it, they hated the rebels particularly.
To the west of Munich's central square, the small gray building of "Ignorance Hall" looks unremarkable. In front of the building is a bluestone wall, inlaid with a huge and old wooden board. The wooden board is densely covered with various
news announcement.
As the main place for ordinary civilians to learn about major imperial events and frontline information, this place was crowded with people as usual early in the morning. Everyone was in small groups and talking intensively.
"According to me, these guys should be hanged immediately!"
In the crowd, a middle-aged man with a beard looked around at the audience, filled with indignation.
"Look at what kind of chaos they have caused to our city of Munich. If General Eugene hadn't stayed calm in the face of danger and disrupted their conspiracy, there would have been a river of blood here. Let's not talk about anything else. Let's just talk about us people.
Maybe not many of them will be able to stand here alive!"
"Isn't it?" Someone nearby echoed, "Yesterday, a rebel soldier's spear almost hit my face. If I hadn't dodged quickly, my life would have been lost..."
"Why are those gangsters being imprisoned for? What they committed was rebellion. Even if the ancestors of some families have contributed to the empire, according to law, they will be exiled to the Wolf Island in Sinasili!"
"Hey, that would be worse than killing them."
"Exile? Huh! I think it's better to hang him immediately. Look at Wenger, didn't he almost let them escape? There are thousands of kilometers from here to Sinasili. Who knows what will happen then?
.Maybe there is another Eastern Expeditionary Army waiting on the way!"
"Oh, you can't give them such a cheap price!"
"How will you deal with those Langris people this time?"
"Does that need to be said? They were hiding behind the scenes and controlling us, and we really couldn't do anything about them. The rules of the noble lords are not like ours. Even if you know that they did some things, you still have to follow the rules. But this time
Come on, then Xilin doesn’t know whether to live or die, and jumps out on his own to openly kill people and cause chaos. What else is there to say?"
"According to the laws of the empire, Xilin, like those rebel nobles, also has to be hanged. Hey, I just thought that on the day he is hanged, the faces of the people of Lanlith will be so ugly!"
"He deserves it! Look at how many people he killed. Hanging him is considered a light punishment. In my opinion, he deserves to be cramped and skinned!"
When people talked about those rebel nobles and Xilin and others, they were gnashing their teeth and getting emotional. It seemed that they wanted to hang these guys now. No one noticed that a man in a brown cloak stood quietly in the crowd.
After listening for a long time, I turned around and walked through the woods beside the square and walked into an alley.
Entering the alley, the man's pace suddenly quickened. After a moment, he was already twisting and turning in the maze-like alley and entered a courtyard with white walls and green doors.
"How about it?"
In front of the small house in the courtyard, there were already three people waiting there, all of whom looked young. Two men and one woman, all wearing tight-fitting magic-patterned soft armor, carrying a long sword on their backs, with cold and conceited expressions on their faces.
The man in the brown cloak took off his hood, revealing an ordinary middle-aged face, and said: "Except for the dozen or so people who died, Xilin, Kevin, Dana and those noble lords all
He is being held in a prison in the west of the city and is under heavy guard. It is estimated that he will be escorted to the imperial capital in a short time."
He took off his cloak, dusted it off, and said, "This time, your East Branch family has given a good gift to Edward I."
"Mr. Yaerlin, now is not the time for you, the South Branch Dragon Tail, to gloat about your misfortune!" A tall blond young man standing at the front, obviously the leader of the three young men, became displeased when he heard the middle-aged man's words.
"For this failure, our East Branch family will naturally be responsible to Long Bao. You don't need to worry about it."
Next to the blond young man, the tall and charming woman snorted coldly: "That's right! Besides, it was just an accident this time. That loser Xilin was afraid that we would come and take away his power. If he had launched it later, today
There is no guarantee that this will be the result. I, the Fire King Sword Master, have never failed!"
"This matter isn't entirely our East Branch's responsibility, is it?" Another young man with a thin stature and a sinister face continued the woman's words, "The South Branch Dragon Tail has secret chess offices in major cities. Mr. Yaerlin
, you have been living here for more than 20 years as Munich's secret chess player. Why don't you take action this time?"
He said and sneered, "Maybe, with your strength, you can turn things around with just one move."
"Okay, okay, we don't have to blame each other anymore." The middle-aged man Yaerlin obviously didn't want to argue more verbally. He waved his hands and said: "The South Branch is only responsible for assassinations. As long as the superiors don't give me a task, it doesn't matter.
Even if the sky falls, I won't care. Therefore, this responsibility cannot be held on my head. Of course, Munich is my territory after all. If wastes like Xilin are captured, the family will not look good. We should
Let’s join hands and rescue people first.”
"It's easy to save people!" the blond young man said proudly, "As long as we know the place of imprisonment, no one can stop us."
"But, there are so many people..." Yaerlin frowned.
He is a member of the southern branch of the Lanlith family and has lived in Munich for more than 20 years. The southern branch of Dragon Tail is the most mysterious force in the family. It is responsible for assassination. For hundreds of years, he has died at the hands of Dragon Tail assassins.
There are countless high-ranking officials and nobles. But things like coups and rescuing people are not their expertise.
Hearing the hesitation in Yaerlin's words, the blond young man said: "Except for Xilin, Dana and those noble lords, there is no need to worry about others. They are a bunch of trash from Solan's outer branch family. They say they are Lanris.
The knights of the family are all a disgrace. I don’t know if Xilin can survive his return, let alone them."
At the moment, those family knights from various branches of the Saint Solan Empire have just given up.
Yaerlin said: "Well, when the time comes, I will send my carriage to transport Xilin out of the city. I have been here for more than 20 years. My Yaerlin's coat of arms still has some influence. The city gate guards will not check it.
.”
"So what about the inspection?" the woman said, "In the worst case, we can just kill him and get out."
Yaerlin frowned slightly. As an assassin from the South Branch family, keeping a low profile and being unobtrusive is the first priority. His way of doing things is not in line with these young people from the East Branch Dragon Claw family. If
It's not that the family was so embarrassed this time, the patriarch Nishizawa was furious. I'm afraid he wouldn't cooperate with these three people at all.
Of course, he also knew that these three were disciples of the Fire King Sword Master of the East Branch Family. They were rising stars in the family. This time they were on a mission in the south of Solan and came to Munich City to cooperate with Xilin. However, he did not expect that they would enter the city.
By the time, Xilin was completely defeated. Therefore, their mission was temporarily changed to bringing Xilin and others back.
In the East Branch family, the Fire King Sword Master has a bad temper and is arrogant. Naturally, his disciples are just like him. Moreover, these three people are considered outstanding among the disciples in the sect. Such arrogance is not surprising.
"That's it, I'll go make arrangements..." Yaerlin turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by the blond young man.
"Mr. Ya'erlin, please wait a moment." The blond young man said, "Rescuing Xilin is only half of our mission. It's the family's intention. We still have to kill someone!"
He raised his chin slightly and said coldly: "Mr. Yaerlin, you are from the South Branch family. You should know better than me. The family has always only dealt with those who dare to challenge the family's dignity with a thunderous blow! The more they die, the more likely they are to die."
Quick, the worse it is, the more people who are watching the joke will understand what will happen if you offend the family!"
"Who to kill?" Yalin frowned, "Eugene, Joseph, the Marquise Joyce or the boy named Roy?"
"Roy!" the blond young man said without hesitation.
"This kid?" Yaerlin pondered for a moment and said, "It's not difficult to kill him, but can I ask why it is him?"
"Because this kid died a year and a half ago!" the woman said. "Last time, Sir Alex made a mistake and let him run away. Unexpectedly, this damn untouchable not only didn't hide, but he was lucky.
He saved a life, but challenged the family's bottom line again and again. If he didn't die, how would the family's face be saved?"
Yaerlin nodded. At that time, he was standing in the square and witnessed with his own eyes how Roy defeated Kevin.
That was no longer a challenge, but a deliberate humiliation!
Now, there are a lot of discussions in the city. Those who were still yelling and scolding Roy for avoiding the battle now have a different tone.
"I'm just saying how could Roy be afraid of that piece of shit Kevin? Look!"
"Yeah, Kevin doesn't know how high the sky is and how dare he stick his sword at the door of the first training camp. He's really looking for death!"
"He doesn't know that Roy is not afraid of him, but actually doesn't bother to fight him at all. Who is he? Is he a great person just because he came from the Holy Martial Arts Hall? This time he angered Roy.
Why don’t you still get beaten like a dog?”
"Did you see Xi Lin's face at that time? It was so wonderful."
"Hahahaha, it makes me happy just to talk about it. You even show off your authority in such a big way, it's so embarrassing, tsk tsk..."
Such words are everywhere in the streets and alleys. Every time it is mentioned, people in Munich can't help but gloat. The ridicule on their faces cannot be concealed.
Every time Ya'erlin listened, he felt his face burning. If the opponent was a wealthy family, then it wouldn't matter. But unfortunately, the family's several fights all fell on a little untouchable. Such a strong contrast,
It is the most popular thing for ordinary people to hear and see. Every time I talk about it, I am frothing at the mouth.
From the Guardian Knight incident a year and a half ago. To sweeping away five aristocratic students at the ball at Grand Duke Adolf's palace and demoting Scarlett, the princess, to a slave girl. And this time, beating Kevin to death in public.
There is no way to fight back...
As the woman said, if this boy doesn't die, the family will really lose face.
"If that's the case, then just kill him," Yaerlin said: "I saw that battle. It's really scary to give this kid some time to grow up. It's a pity that he doesn't know the heights of the sky. He doesn't know that in the past two hundred years,
How many geniuses like him died in the hands of their families just because of one word!"
He said, looking at the blond young man. "Do you do it or should I do it?"
"I'll go with you." The blond young man said.

The coalition camp was a busy scene.
Fano's rear army has already set out for the expedition, and the logistical supplies that were delayed some time ago cannot be completed in one night. From yesterday to today, the entire military camp was like a huge machine, running at full speed. A large number of grain and grass supplies were loaded onto the carriages
, escorted by heavily armed soldiers, drove out of the south gate and transported to the front line.
At the same time, the reorganization work in the army was also in full swing.
In this era, the noble lords were the actual owners of the army. Even Lurian, as a principality, only had a standing army, the Munich City Guard. The Bavarian Knights and the Coast Mercenary Group existed as mercenary armies.
.On weekdays, Lulian can hardly see their shadow.
This also means that no matter the royal families of the three major empires, or the major principalities and regional lords, during wars, they will summon princes and vassals to participate in the war. In terms of military system, in addition to the border army and several standing legionary knights,
, all quite confusing.
By taking down Schilling in one fell swoop this time, Eugene's authority in the coalition has been firmly established. This allows him to build this army according to his own wishes.
The first thing Eugene did was to break up the original troops. The soldiers and officers of the major noble armies were all separated and reorganized. This move immediately concentrated the command of the army. Secondly, he boldly
Some veterans who were not trusted, or soldiers who were not qualified to fight, were eliminated.
After some streamlining, the current coalition force has been reduced from more than 30,000 to 27,000.
The main force of the Chinese army camp is 16,000 people, including a reserve force directly under Eugene of 2,000 people, two infantry regiments of 8,000 people, a cavalry regiment of 4,000 people, and a knight regiment of 2,000 people.
The cavalry regiment is under the command of the knights. During the battle, it assists the knights in fighting.
There are 9,000 men in the forward battalion, 2,000 men in the cavalry battalion, including 500 knights, 5,000 men in the reinforced infantry regiment, and 2,000 archers and scouts.
As for the rear camp, Eugene transferred a thousand students and a thousand veterans to form a new logistics escort.
In terms of organization, all troops follow the standards of the Solan Empire.
The infantry consists of one hundred people for a small flag team, five hundred people for one middle flag team, and one thousand people for one large flag team. Two large flag teams make up one battalion, and two battalions of four thousand people make up a regiment.
The cavalry consists of forty people for a small flag force, two hundred people for a middle flag force, and four hundred people for a large flag force. In addition to the personal guard cavalry beside the commander-in-chief, one thousand people form a battalion. Two battalions make up a regiment of two thousand people.
.is half of the infantry.
The establishment of the Knights is that every ten long knights are a small team. Every five small teams are a squadron, with fifty long knights. Every two squadrons are a large team, with one hundred long knights. Every five squadrons are one knight.
Regiment, five hundred knights.
Because each long knight is surrounded by one to three or five retinue knights. Therefore, the total size of a long knight squad may range from twenty to fifty people. A large knight group of 500 long knights,
Including retinue knights, peripheral knights and cavalry sergeants, the number exceeds 5,000.
On the battlefield, knights usually fight in squads.
The ten powerful long knights are the core of the long knight battle team. The other retinue knights will follow them closely during the battle, covering them and even taking their place in critical moments.
The retinue knight is the left and right arm of the long knight, a sword and a shield. They swear to follow the long knight. Whether it is tactical cooperation or the training of their own fighting spirit and martial arts, they are completely in accordance with the needs of the long knight. With their cooperation, a
The combat effectiveness and survivability of the Long Knight can be increased several times or even dozens of times!
Especially when it comes to the Paladin class, different retinue knights have different fields. This is extremely helpful to the long knight!
As the core combat force in the coalition forces, the construction of the Knights is the top priority of Eugene's reorganization work. However, this time, the reorganization of other troops has been completed, with a list of 500 knights in the front battalion and 2,000 knights in the central army.
But it hasn't been decided for a long time. The reason is very simple - because the selection of [Fire Bee Guards] has begun.
The name Firebee Guards was given by Eugene.
In order to select elites from the army and to keep it secret, he gave this name to the team that attacked Coen Castle. At the same time, in the selection order he issued, he designed the Guards to be Lulian.
The last ace unit. It is the last shield that protects the Lurian Fire Bee Emblem.
Eugene is trapped in a cocoon.
Not to mention the equipment and treatment that are far higher than those of ordinary knights, just such selection instructions are enough to make everyone excited and gearing up. Even the long knight of the fifth long knight brigade of Munich City under Avery
They all want to join the Fire Bee Guards.
Now, the selection of the Guards has become the center of the topic in the army. Whether it is the front camp or the middle camp, whether it is a powerful knight or an ordinary soldier. Everyone talks about it all day long. See you.
When I met, I asked if I had been chosen. Every person who was chosen was the envy of his peers.
In the afternoon of the next day, the selection work finally ended.
Although the selection was based on strength, what was unexpected was that all the students from the three major training camps, whose personal strength far exceeded the average level of the coalition forces, all failed to be selected.
This triggered unanimous protests from the students.
You know, the freshmen with the lowest strength among them are all armed knights. The second-year and third-year students are mostly brave knights. Even if these are not in Percy's eyes, the fourth-year students from the three major training camps combined
A total of one hundred and twenty-six knights of justice, have they finally reached the standard?
After all, even the long knight of the Munich City Guard is only a knight of justice.
It's a pity that not even star trainees like Lanci, Wormousley and Pierre were selected. Instead, some cavalry sergeants without the ability to be knights became the lucky ones.
In the end, Percy selected 20 long knights and 35 of their retinue knights from the Munich Guards. He selected 200 people from the ragtag army and more than 200 people from the cavalry regiment.
More than 300 people were selected from the great lord's personal armed forces and his escort knights.
These people, plus 120 people drawn from the bandit army, formed the Fire Bee Guards with a strength of 920 people.
Percy's reason is simple.
This mission is too dangerous. Although these students have good personal strength, when they are actually on the battlefield, especially behind enemy lines, their role is not as good as that of an experienced ordinary cavalry.
"This is contempt!"
One stone stirred up a thousand ripples, and the entire military camp was in an uproar. The students whose self-esteem was hurt were reluctant to give up, and only asked one question.
"If we can't be selected, why is that guy Roy on the list?"
This time, everyone was as united as those who beat up Quincy. Not only Pierre, Wormousley, Xia Li and Xia Qing, but also Tang Xiaoben, Giles, and Griffin were also angry
clamor.
"Where did this bastard Roy hide?"
"No, if this guy gets all the limelight by himself, how can we still hang out in the future?"
"Who is that black and thin old man? Blood Fox Percy? I've never heard of him! What's his relationship with that boy Roy? Why did you choose him alone?"
"Find that kid out and question him!"
………………
………………
Ivy closed the window to block out the noise of the students outside the barracks, then turned to look at the culprit who was sitting cross-legged on a blue rose meditation rug in the corner.
It was quiet in the laboratory. Roy remained motionless.
Since the military meeting of the headquarters ended yesterday, this kid has been brought back by Gustas and other academy teachers.
During the battle with Kevin, the scene where he was suddenly promoted from one star of bravery to three stars of justice not only shocked the others, but also scared a few old guys to death. He was afraid that the precious disciple would use some secret method to hurt his body and destroy himself.
talent.
However, they obviously worry too much.
After Ivy's careful and authoritative inspection, except for the exhaustion of fighting spirit and physical strength after the battle, there was nothing wrong with Roy.
Uneasy, Steve forced Roy to take a six-star Warm Spirit Pill. This pill is one of the few pills that has no toxic side effects on the body. Its function is to nourish Qi.
Blood, speeding up the recovery of the body's energy and various skills after a fierce battle. It is especially helpful for overdrafting energy.
After taking the medicine, Roy, who closed his eyes and meditated, has been sitting silently until now.
"It's so annoying. Why do you keep this kid here with me? Do you think I'm a nanny?" Ivy scolded a bunch of old guys, including her father Gustas, one by one in her heart, and then she felt angry.
He returned to the experimental table and continued his experiment.
It’s still an experiment with the Spiritual Energy Pill.
Ivy has been stuck on the formula ratio of this elixir for a long time. And the only complete elixir in her hand is now only a tiny bit the size of a grain of rice. It is not even enough for another experiment.
.
Ivy had to look at this millet grain and smell it dozens of times every day, gritting her teeth and making up her mind for a long time, not wanting to use it.
"How come the masked pharmacist never showed up again?" Ivy was a little discouraged. She felt that if she could get a few more of the same pills, her research would be able to go further. Now, she has
Eighty percent of the components of this elixir have been analyzed, and the remaining parts have already been revealed.
Of course, we still don’t have much idea about the most important material ratio, and the completion rate is probably less than 40%.
These days, she took Fulin, the pharmacist who originally bought the medicine, to the auction house several times, hoping to meet the masked pharmacist. But she always failed.
This made Ivy very uncomfortable. You must know that she spent more time and energy on this drug than any of her previous research. It would be a bit unwilling to give up halfway.
Seeing that the world is becoming more and more chaotic and sliding step by step into a more terrifying abyss, in the future, these young students from the Munich branch will have to embark on the battlefield. If they can use this extremely toxic spiritual energy pill during this period of time,
By greatly increasing their cultivation speed, more people may be able to survive on the battlefield in the future.
As an academy instructor and a member of the secret camp, Ivy feels that this is her mission. She also mentioned this matter to her father Gustas. Gustas attaches great importance to this and has always looked forward to her results.
.I didn’t expect that…
Sighing, Ivy felt a little sleepy. After working for more than 20 prayer hours, she was finally overcome by sleep.
With her eyelids half-opened, she looked at Roy in a daze and thought, although this kid is annoying, he looked really handsome when he single-handedly broke out of the military camp yesterday and beat up Kevin.
The bad temper that Kevin thrust his sword into at the entrance of the college came out in full force this time. The old guys in the secret camp, who were around him at the time, had their faces turned into flowers with laughter. They all praised them for their good vision.
, the methods and methods used to teach this boy are so unique that Roy shines brightly today.
Everyone was frothing at the mouth and feeling proud.
The corner of Ivy's mouth evoked a funny arc. She thought that she was also Roy's mentor. It seemed that it was necessary to put more effort into pharmacy so that this kid could develop his skills.
