Chapter 84: Return to the Border City

The group of the Academy was placed in a barracks near the southern city wall, where a squad of magicians belonging to the Imperial Army was stationed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the past ten days, Ye Mo could see Yin Lingna exercising with Yanli every night. I don't know how Yanli, who has always been quiet, agreed to the exercise plan.

However, exercise is only an auxiliary drug absorption, and what can really change Yanli's weak physique in a short period of time is the medicine provided by Siyou. So Yin Lingna asked Yanli to do most of the stretching and body flexibility exercises, as well as endurance-type long-distance running. There are fewer other physical exercises.

Fortunately, the effect of the medicine is miraculous, and Yan Li, who collapsed after jogging for two minutes on the first day, was able to barely keep up with Yin Lingna's speed on the tenth day.

The team's biggest shortcoming was finally filled, and the people in the team were also relieved.

"Ye Mo, it seems that the academy is ready for us to obey the general's command and act together with the magician team." Si Ze carefully wiped his saber and said to Ye Mo, who was standing aside.

Ye Mo nodded: "It seems like this." After all, most of them have never killed anyone, and the dean is not at ease to let us do our own activities in a short period of time. ”

"The squad operation should be after a melee or two. After all, the academy still has to take the elite squad route, and the big melee is not for us. Si You nodded, raised his sword, squinted at the sunlight, and then withdrew the scabbard.

"Let's hope there won't be casualties in the scuffle." Ye Mo said a little melancholy.

"Probably not, there is a teacher to take care of, and the enemies in the big melee are all miscellaneous soldiers. To put it bluntly, it's the difficulty of the beginner tutorial. The real challenge is the enemies encountered by the later squads as they move. Si You stood up and looked out of the tent.

"I'll go around town." Ye Mo thought about it, said hello to Senior Brother, and walked out of the tent.

Ye Mo's team was divided into two tents, men and women lived separately, but the tents were next to each other. Ye Mo pulled his sister out and prepared to take a walk around the city.

"I don't know what happened to that barbecue restaurant." Ye Yu said with some concern.

Ye Mo didn't know what to say at this time.

Brother and sister walked around the city, the whole border city seemed a little cold, in the border city defense battle ten days ago, the border city shed too much blood, people died and fled, I think that many houses in this side of the city will become empty houses without owners.

But Ye Mo still saw a lot of soldiers helping the surviving residents of the city to repair their houses. Ye Mo sighed with some emotion, these people living on the border of the two empires, even after suffering the tragedy of the destruction of the city and the death of their families, still did not choose to leave this sad place, but chose to rebuild their homes - a hundred years have passed, and the people who mobilized immigrants from the founding emperor have taken root here and become the native residents of the border city.

Perhaps, this is the nostalgia for my hometown.

Walking slowly, Ye Mo had already come to the shop where a few people had eaten tea-flavored barbecue.

The store is still there, but the plaques are crooked to the side, and no one is righting it. Obviously, the war did not spare this famous shop in the city.

"Huh? This little brother. Suddenly, a person came out of the store and stopped Ye Mo.

Ye Mo was about to leave with his sister, but he stopped when he heard this voice. When he looked back, he saw that the person in front of him was somewhat familiar.

It's just that the heavy dark circles under his eyes and the visibly emaciated face make him look a little haggard.

"You're... The waiter at this shop? Ye Yu seemed to remember something and exclaimed.

"I didn't expect my little sister to remember me! It's great that you're okay. The waiter brother was also a little surprised, and said with a smile.

"This shop..."Ye Mo looked at this barbecue restaurant, which was obviously no longer open, with infinite regret.

"Hey, the shopkeeper said he didn't want to do it. A few days ago, when the white-skinned pig attack came, I was injured in order to protect my sister-in-law's hand, and now I can't hold things, and it is difficult to hold a stick, let alone the grill. The little brother also looked a little regretful.

It can be seen that he really likes this store and likes this job.

Ye Mo fell silent. It's not that he doesn't have other ideas, it's that he doesn't have a position and the ability to express them.

He also wanted to eat this barbecue with Ye Yu and Liang Tianwei, and even wanted to introduce this shop to the other members of the team, as well as Yan Li...

But what can he do?

The shopkeeper didn't want to open the store because of a hand injury, but because he was uneasy. The small shop business that was thriving was all on the right track, and life was happy and beautiful.

It's just that because the border city is on the frontier, this blandness will be shattered at the slightest touch.

"Uncle said he wanted to settle in a city in the east." The little brother was a little helpless. "If you want to eat my barbecue, you probably won't have to."

"Brother, let's go." Ye Yu pulled the corner of Ye Mo's clothes.

Ye Mo turned around and saw the gloomy and disappointed expression on Ye Yu's face.

"Well..."Ye Mo responded, turned to the waiter brother and said, "If the uncle comes inland, Ziyang City is a good choice, let him think about it." We had to go beforehand. ”

Bidding farewell to the roast house and waiter brother in the border city, Ye Moye walked towards the location of the original city lord's mansion, that is, the center of the city.

Ye Mo never knew the real name of the city lord, only that he was a person with a slightly bookish atmosphere and an image close to the people. and the fact that he and the two high-ranking magicians died together in the Sage's self-explosion.

Now, the castle lord's mansion in the center of the city has been flattened - the pit after the explosion has been filled.

And these days, the soldiers who repaired the houses have not rebuilt the city lord's mansion, and the location of the original city lord's mansion is still an empty land.

Because, there was a tomb, a monument.

There was also a man sitting in front of the tomb.

"Legionnaire?" Ye Mo approached with his sister, saw the back of the familiar and much thinner one, and tentatively said with some uncertainty.

The man turned his head and saw that Ye Moye's eyes lit up, and then quickly dimmed.

It was the corps commander He Ping.

"It's you, Lord Si You has already conveyed to me His Majesty's will about your academy's participation in the front-line war."

Speaking of this, He Ping seemed to be a little distracted and paused.

Ye Moye just listened quietly and did not interrupt without speaking.

Since he knew the reason for the delay in the arrival of the imperial reinforcements, and after witnessing He Ping's demeanor at that time, Ye Mo was full of admiration for He Ping in his heart.

A person who has done his best for the empire, who has shed his blood for the empire, can still be loyal to the empire after being treated as cannon fodder. Ye Mo asked himself if he couldn't do it.

After all, his greatest wish is just to protect the happiness he has now.

"His Majesty the Emperor has agreed to hold a state funeral for you." Speaking of this, He Ping seemed to be talking to himself, and it seemed to be saying to the tomb in front of him, or someone who was no longer alive.

"Luckily, I held on. Otherwise, you'll die too unjustly. ”

"My old friend."
