Chapter 5: Hugo's Troubles

Faculty of Magic Instructor's Office. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"This cunning old fox!" Ten Saints Jevot from Gasganik is from the same province as Akiyama, 20 years younger than Akiyama, he specializes in water magic, he heard Podorik Shaozo's arrangement, returned to the office and finally couldn't help it, and slammed his fist on the table.

"What's wrong?" William was wiping his sword at the moment, he respected the mage from the bottom of his heart, so even if he was also a member of the Ten Saints, he ranked himself last.

"Podolik, that old fox!" Walter pointed to the map on the wall: "He just arranged the whereabouts of the graduates, 6 people are stationed in the imperial capital, and 6 people are left to follow, isn't his own army in Serweis, which is equivalent to 12 magicians escorting him." With such an army, plus his own 4,000 infantry, he could have gone to support the Orls, but he left 12 magicians idle to keep himself safe. ”

William looked at his sword and said, "But then again, it's a good idea to keep the 12 magicians. After all, these graduates in purple robes are just recruits, so it is better to run in with ordinary soldiers for a while. ”

"But did you know that both Taks and Sunset Province are short of troops?" Vought asked rhetorically, "and he somehow sent six men to Meno Province. ”

"After a year of war, the king always wanted to negotiate peace with the aliens, but the domestic rebellion became stronger and stronger, and there was a great tendency to overthrow the regime, and 30% of the Knights' troops went on an expedition to the Orsnow Mountain. At present, there is an undercurrent surging in the province of Meno, and if it is not handled properly, it will affect the overall situation of the empire. William took a sip of water and pointed to the province of Meno under the map of God's capital, "If the Governor's Palace is occupied by the Raiders, the Knights will inevitably suppress it, and then there will be great chaos in the country......

"You mean that the Imperial Military Department sent six magicians to defend the Governor and suppress the rebels?"

"I don't know. William stood up, "At least go to Taks to support the Orlsian Fortress and go to Sunset Province to fend off the Polar Army, you have no problem with that." And this must also be the meaning of the military department, he himself could not have the courage to allocate the mage troops. ”

Walter snorted, and then pointed the finger at the wolf team on the side: "In this way, it is more appropriate for the wolf team to go to the front line." He glanced blankly at Captain Hugo of the Wolf Warrior Squad.

Hugo was one of the first graduates of the Academy of Magic, and at the end of the year's war, there was a mutiny of magicians, which caused great damage to the empire, and he had to end the lives of his classmates with his own hands. After this, Cassius Dazo proposed to the military department to form a special army led by magicians and absolutely loyal to the empire to deal with special events such as magician mutiny, which Hugo only learned about when he was approached by the military department after the war.

"I recommend you to be the captain of this unit. Cassius patted Hugo on the shoulder, "You have a loyal heart and experience fighting magicians. ”

He looked at his former classmate, now Cassiu, as if he were a visitor. He desperately suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "Do you think it was easy for me to kill my classmates?" Yes, although in that battle called "Nightmare in Beijun Town", he killed his classmates and more people survived, but he felt uncomfortable. If his classmates had died at the hands of the Polar Regions, he would have had the courage to tell his classmates' families that they had died honorably, and now that everyone regarded him as a hero in the suppression of traitors, Cassius recommended him to lead such a force - killing classmates or alumni as a job.

Cassius stared into his eyes and said, "I know you're under tremendous psychological pressure, but if it weren't for you, more people would have died at the hands of traitors. Sometimes you have to make difficult choices for the sake of the so-called big picture. In the final analysis, we are war machines, special forces, and we have to obey orders. ”

He was silent. He used to serve in the Army, and it was his duty to obey orders, and he was instilled with this philosophy from the moment he joined the army. After the establishment of the Academy of Magic, he deeply felt that it was difficult to compete with the polar people on the battlefield with only traditional equipment and technology, so he entered the academy and began to practice magic.

"Well," he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "I obey orders. ”

He named his troops "Wolf Warriors", which means "wolves with fighting spirit", hoping that his troops would be united and full of combat effectiveness. However, the two vice-captains made him quite painful: a man named Kilrod, with a happy and moody face under his short silver hair, no matter how he ordered as the captain, Kilrod always came by his own temperament, such as today's security work, Kilrod refused him on the grounds of boredom. He really wanted to ask the military department to replace this person, but this person has a unique and sensitive vision in case analysis and judging the political situation, and can be said to be the brains of the team.

The other is Charlotte, who is now quarreling with her classmates, a disciple of Howard, one of the old ten saints, and also a master of swordsmanship. Hugo even thought that in terms of swordsmanship, Charlotte would not lose to William.

"Your wolf squad is holding a sword and waiting for the graduates to mutiny. Walter's words pierced Hugo's heart like a sword, "It's been so many years, you are dogs raised by the military department, eating white food, guarding against thieves who don't know when they will appear." Why don't you go to the front line and kill the enemy?"

"For a docile sheepdog, managing a flock of sheep and thinking he can handle a pack of wolves is a huge amount of money. Charlotte had long flowing silver hair and a slender figure, and at the moment he was gracefully fiddling with his hair, glanced at Walter, and indifferently retorted.

"What did you say?!" Vought roared as he slammed his fist on the table.

William drew his sword, and Charlotte, not to be outdone, stood up, but the sword was unsheathed. Hugo knew that if the two of them competed in swordsmanship, it would be difficult for the people around him to stop him closely, so he quickly grabbed Charlotte's arm and shouted, "Are these tongues useful?

"Do you think it's the stupid brothers? Walter's words stabbed him in the heart again. He knew that Walter was talking about Holland and Hausen. When he entered school, he liked Howson the most, and worked hard to learn fire magic because of Howson's phrase "Your hair is bright red like flames". After Hausen killed Holland, Hausen's image in his mind was shattered, but he still regarded Hausen as his mentor.

"You want to provoke the Wolf Warrior Squad?" Hugo couldn't help but scold, pointing at Walter.

Hugo saw disdain and hostility in the eyes of his classmates, but the daily office of the Wolf Warrior Team was in the academy, and he tried to avoid meeting this old classmate on weekdays.

"I'm afraid it's a wolf with a broken tooth. Walter snorted, "Since the establishment of your unit, there has not been a single incident of a mage mutiny, I really can't figure out why the military department doesn't trust our Ten Saints and the Magic Council, and it should be the authority of our Magic Council to deal with the mage's rebellion." ”

He is also a person who admires the establishment of a separate Magic Council and sits on an equal footing with the military department. Hugo is different from this old classmate, he switched to magic during his service, in his opinion, magicians are nothing more than special soldiers, and these classmates who were influenced by Holland and others were not soldiers in the first place, so they thought that magicians did not belong to the army in the first place, and should not be under the control of the military department. Now that the military department has set up a direct wolf squad to deal with magician traitors, it is clear that it does not trust the Magic Council, and in terms of military ranks, the owner of the highest-level golden robe is equivalent to the rank of lieutenant general, which has laid a legal foundation for the military department to manage the Magic Council. He felt that this was the fundamental reason why Walter was finding fault today.

"Report, the farewell party is about to begin. The dean and Podolik Shaozo are already in the auditorium, so it's time for you. Then the guards arrived.

"Let's be kind and go to the farewell party together. Don't keep students waiting. William interrupted the argument between Walter and the Wolf Squad and gave both sides a step down.

Hugo patted Charlotte on the shoulder and left the instructor's office at the Academy of Magic.
