Chapter 60: Night Watch

The training time and work arrangements of each team were quickly confirmed.

Only then did Jacques realize that the days outside of the training mission were not idle in the camp, repairing the camp, being on duty, carrying supplies, cooking, and handling alien beast materials had to be completed in turn.

There have been cases of Greatclaw wolves raiding the camp, and both Jacques and Fat Orange are very concerned about the safety of the camp. From Lucien's threatening words back then, it is not difficult to guess that some people don't want Dean Hardy to continue to be in charge of Eve Academy, all they lack is some excuses, so was the original attack arranged by those people to drive Dean Hardy away?

Jacques later hears that the entire mangrove camp was destroyed by a fire on the night after they investigated the mangrove camp, and the evidence of the passage has disappeared, so Lily warns several people again not to bring up the findings of the camp again.

In the past two years, there has been no sign of a giant claw wolf in the Kalanga mangroves, and Lily has not been attacked again, and the original incident looks like a migrating group of giant clawed wolves accidentally encountered human transcendents and launched an attack without their own strength. The families of the eight students who were killed also accepted the academy's compensation, and the entire academy and even the port of Moussey are forgetting about the incident.

Only Jacques and the others, who knew part of the truth, still felt faintly uneasy, and Fat Tangerine not only spent more than an hour carefully inspecting every inch of the camp, but even ran outside the camp to patrol around after dark.

On the first night of the training, except for a few unlucky people who were assigned to be on duty, the other boys and girls ushered in the most anticipated activities.

A huge bonfire was lit in the center of the camp that night, and the trainees made presentations around the campfire, followed by games and performances.

Eve Academy is a self-selected course teaching method, in this 300-person experience team, including the third and fourth grades, so many people are only familiar with the team of six people formed in advance, and are not familiar with the others, maybe they have seen it in class, and they may know their names, but there is little more contact.

The first night of activities was the beginning of ice-breaking for the students.

They are all 15 or 6 year olds, and they are very enthusiastic about fun and interactive games, even if the team of losers in the game wants to send someone to put on a show.

The combat strength of the Jacques squad may be the top among the students, but you don't look at the combat power when you start the game, and the result is a series of defeats.

For the first punishment, Fabian came out and sang a song of the Quetzalcoatl, although everyone couldn't understand it, but the melody was very beautiful and very special, and won bursts of applause. The second time she was punished, Natasha, who had been dancing since elementary school in a merchant family, danced a short dance in front of the bonfire, and the girl began to take on a slender body, and under the light of the dancing flames, she swayed even more.

After the event, the trainees went back to the camp to rest, and the first night was successfully passed.

On the first training day, the Minority Alliance team was assigned the task of transporting supplies. Together with nine other teams on the same mission, they returned to the place where they got off yesterday along the steep ridge, picked up their bags full of supplies, and sent them back to the camp.

Walking through the ridge again, the scenery on both sides of the mountain is still beautiful, and if you look closely at the beach from the lower part of the mountain, you can see the experienced team fighting the seals.

After a run in the morning and a round trip in the afternoon, the cadets of the ten squads were so tired that they just wanted to fall on the bed and not move.

On the second day of the Minority Alliance, the task was much easier, with shifts guarding the camp.

Jacques and Fabian were assigned to guard the watchtower in the deepest part of the camp at night. In front of this watchtower is a walled wall built close to the cliff, and behind it is the dormitory area, which is located at the top of the cliff stretching out to the sea, and at the foot is the sea surface with waves, and the waves are slapping against the rock mass and splashing up to dozens of meters, and the mist floating below can still be felt on the top of the cliff more than 100 meters high.

The two of them took a short rest during the day, and came to the watchtower at twelve o'clock in the evening to change shifts.

Climb the watchtower more than ten meters above the ground, look back at the camp, the whole camp has an unobstructed view, the lights in the room have been extinguished, only the wall of the wall is not far apart there is an ever-bright lamp and the brazier in the center of the camp is still shining.

Turning his head to look at the sea, the moon had risen half above the sky, and the whole sky was dim due to the thin clouds, only the white light of the full moon barely penetrated the clouds, leaving a dim moon shadow at the edges. The sea was also dark, except for the moon, directly below which the moonlight cast on the place where the sky and the sea met, leaving a silvery white light on the surface of the sea. But the stubborn moonlight was still not satisfied with occupying only such a small piece of territory, so a trembling silver line stretched towards the shore, and the thin line became wider and wider, and when it looked at the watchtower, it changed from a finger wide to a hand wide, and then to an arm's width, and when it was very close, it rendered the entire sea under the cliff, so that the waves rushing towards the cliff were sparkling with moonlight.

Jacques and Fabian had long forgotten the rule that one should look in one direction, and looked at the sea in the moonlight together.

Fabian suddenly said, "Remember the first time we met? It was also a night like this, by the docks. ”

Jacques stretched out his hand to rub the black hair of Fabian, who was not wearing a hat, and said, "Remember, the little young master who ran away from home ran to our dock area, and was so hungry that he wanted to jump directly into the sea to catch fish. ”

Jacques continued to laugh, "Actually, if Sammy, and Alain hadn't met you at the time, you would have been so hungry that you would have gone back to the inner city by yourself, haha......"

Fabian shook his head and wanted to shake off Jacques's hand, pretending to be angry: "You were guilty of disrespecting the nobles at that time, and you will be whipped!"

Jacques put his arms firmly on Fabian and said, "In your case, if a boy suddenly came out and wanted to rob you of the boat-shaped dry bread that you had bought at Miumiu's bakery, would you not beat him? Eat with snot and tears!"

Fabian couldn't break free, so he had to continue: "Speaking of Sammy, why hasn't he come back? I know that the commoners are married early, is he really going to find a wife in Stuart? And Alain, the grammar school is about to graduate, right?"

Jacques was also a little worried, let go of Fabian, propped up the watchtower fence with both hands, looked at the dark sea, and said, "Maybe his ship is sailing to the New World, and when I get back, I'll ask Harrison to see what is going on with Sammy's ship." When Alain graduates, can you ask your eldest brother to introduce a job?"

Fabian leaned against the pillar of the watchtower, "I heard from my eldest brother that the railway company is building a railway to the imperial capital, and it needs a lot of manpower, and the salary there is still high. My eldest brother also said that Robert had opened a night school in the capital of Rand, and that he had taught it himself, and that the first batch of trainees were managers of railway companies and steel companies, and that my brother, who was his subordinate in the Department of Finance, could attend the second night school. ”

Fat orange flashed out of the night, crouched on the fence of the watchtower, and looked out to sea with Jacques.

"Meow!"

Night, quiet.

Watch until dawn.
