Volume 1: Rising to Prominence Chapter 25 The Iron Barrier

A hearty lunch, and although Kath complained that she hadn't said hello before coming back, the smile on her face that she couldn't hide betrayed her true feelings.

After eating, Fox began to tell them about his experiences over the past few months, of course, he must have only picked out the good ones, and he selectively omitted the details of his many desperate situations and specific tasks.

Unlike Sida, who cheered "Brother is amazing" on the sidelines, Kath and Darth had shocked looks on their faces.

They already knew that Kox was now a first-class magician and was about to become a full-fledged soldier of the Akatsuki Legion, which was simply unbelievable.

During the conversation, Fox euphemistically proposed that he wanted his family to move to Casor City, after all, Kerr was no longer short of money, and he had the ability and should make his family live a better life.

However, Keth's attitude gave Quex a bit of a headache, for an ordinary country woman who had lived here for decades, she had a deep affection for this place, and she didn't really want to leave.

However, when it comes to going to a big city to give Hilda access to better education and resources, Keth is a little hesitant.

Eventually, Das came to the rescue, telling her that she could come back more often even after she went to Casul, and Keth finally agreed.

Nexus finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The light of the hand-rolled cigarette flickered in the dimly lit courtyard.

After taking a hard puff of his cigarette, Das said, "It's not as easy as you say, is it?" Mother can't see it, but I can see it. ”

Kerry's face froze, but he didn't refute.

"Whatever happens, don't forget that you still have a home. Darth patted Ax on the shoulder, "We may not be able to help you much, but we will always have your back, so go ahead." ”

Nexus felt his eyes tingle.

Even though he is now a full-fledged magician, he can still feel a sense of security and belonging that doesn't need any reason when he returns home.

Here, no one will look down on you, no one will want your life.

Yes, just patient listening and selfless care.

Das threw away the cigarette butt that had burned to the tail and stepped on it.

"Looks. He said suddenly.

"Huh?"

"You will always be our pride. ”

Fox touched the tip of his nose: "Brother, you said such sensational words, the sense of disobedience is too serious." ”

"Poor mouth!" Darth scolded with a smile, "It's not too early, go back quickly, I'm still busy moving these days." ”

Quex left with a smile.

Only Das was left standing alone in the courtyard, in the thick darkness, and for a long time, an indiscernible sigh came softly.

The house started to get busy, and although Fox said that everything could be bought later, Kath still packed the hill of things.

As the family sat in a hired carriage, Hilda asked, "Brother, where is our new home?"

"Hehe, you'll find out when you go. Fox said with a smile.

"God is mysterious. Kath rolled her eyes.

The carriage enters the city of Casol, weaves through the streets, and finally stops in front of a small villa near the city, which is not the largest, but it is very fresh and elegant.

The villa has three floors, the main entrance is an iron bar, and the entrance is a cobbled path, flanked by fragrant flowers, close to the city but not noisy.

"Alright, let's get to work. Fox clapped his hands and said to the movers who were already waiting in front of the door, and then the luggage was moved down in an orderly manner.

Keth and the others were full of shock, although Fox said that they would move to Casor City, but in their opinion, it was good to buy a small house in the suburbs, but who would have thought that Quex would directly buy a whole villa.

"Alright, don't be in a daze, come in. Kers said to them, then pointed to an old man who looked to be about fifty years old, but full of energy, and said: "This is Enge, the housekeeper of this villa, who has been working here for more than ten years, and the previous owner died of illness, and this house was sold by his son. ”

Quex smiled, "Let Mr. Enge take you inside, he's very familiar with this place." I believe that with his experience, he will definitely help you keep this place in order in the future. ”

"Guys, please come with me. Eng, the butler, bowed slightly and said to them.

And Koss said goodbye to everyone and left, he was going to report to the official army of the Akatsuki Legion soon, and the time was really tight.

The carriage drove Quex away as he walked away, and finally glanced at the villa from a distance, and Quex smiled: "Finally settled, isn't the important purpose of becoming a magician just to give them a better life?"

He lowered the curtain of the carriage that had been lifted.

"It's finally here. Fox and Wells stepped out of the carriage.

"Let's go. Nexus said calmly.

"You're not worried at all. ”

Wells glanced at Kx.

In front of their huge fortress, the walls tens of meters high and the equally magnificent steel gates made the people standing in front of it involuntarily feel insignificant.

The Fifth Division of the Red Moon Army, which is located in the westernmost part of the empire and is dozens of miles outside the suburbs of Bakol City, the closest city to the Sky Wolf Empire, can be said to be a city within a city.

Outside, the pitch-black steel barrier surrounded the entire station, exuding a stern and cold aura, like a giant beast entrenched on the earth.

This has always been the first line of the Akatsuki Legion against the Celestial Wolf Empire, and most of the battles between the two countries for hundreds of years began here.

To the west of the city of Bakol, a vast plain of hundreds of kilometers west of the Grand Canyon of Divine Punishment buried the lives of countless soldiers from both countries, whether ordinary soldiers or magicians.

Therefore, the hatred of the Fifth Division of the Red Moon Army towards the Sky Wolf Empire is also the strongest, which is a grievance formed in blood and fire.

However, there has been no war between the two countries for twenty years, although it is barbaric and belligerent, and it is strange that the Sky Wolf Empire, which has always intended to dominate the continent, suddenly fell silent, but the Akatsuki Empire is still happy to see this situation, after all, no one likes war, not to mention that the Akatsuki Empire is not fully prepared.

However, the Akatsuki Empire has been keeping an eye on the other party's movements for many years to prevent the other party from brewing any conspiracy, and the Fifth Legion of the Akatsuki Army has also been on guard.

However, the location of the Sky Wolf Empire is unique, it is located in the northwest corner of the continent, backed by the ocean, and the Comodo Mountains in the east, which originally stretched across the two countries, were razed to the ground in the Battle of the Two Gods, leaving the bottomless Divine Punishment Rift Valley in place.

Other than that, the only way to the Sirius Empire was the Great Plains of Death in the southern part of the Sirius Empire, but the entire plain was occupied by various undead creatures, and it was even more whimsical to try to pass through there.

Therefore, the unique geographical location of the Sirius Empire makes it an easy to defend and difficult to attack Jedi.

But the disadvantage is that the land of the Sky Wolf Empire is barren, there is very little land suitable for farming, and most of them live by grazing, but it is also difficult to meet the needs of the entire country, so the Sky Wolf Empire has always coveted the fertile central region of the continent.

"I don't know if it's good or bad for you to join the Fifth Legion now. Wells sighed, his expression a little complicated: "Let's go." ”

Kerrs pondered the meaning of this sentence in his heart.

The steel gates were tightly closed, which were only opened when large armies were on expeditions or important people visiting, and they were usually accessed by eight hanging platforms from above.

In front of the hanging platform, there are soldiers wearing the exclusive armor of the Red Moon Legion guarding them, and the identities of those who come and go must be strictly checked.

Wells and Kerx took out their identification and were able to climb the platform after confirming it, and as the platform rose rapidly, Fox looked at the vast plain and the invisible Divine Punishment Rift Valley from a height of dozens of meters.

Climbing over the steel barrier dozens of meters high, Quex entered the interior of this steel barrier, the wide road, the buildings all over, it looked like a miniature town, except for no entertainment venues, everything else should be very complete.

There were people coming and going, but not all soldiers, and many of them looked like soldiers' family members.

"There are still families living here?" asked Quex in surprise.

"What's so strange about this? this is not a reserve, the Fifth Division is guarding the borders of the Empire, and the soldiers come from all over the world, and they rarely have time to go home. Wells said lightly.

Nexus frowned, "What if war breaks out? ”

"The Fifth Division's job is to keep the worst from happening, isn't it?"

Wells glanced at Fox meaningfully.

Wells was obviously not the first time he had been here, and he led him around and around to the logistics base of the Fifth Division.

In front of an office that said Recruit Reporting Office, Wells stopped and knocked on the door.

"Enter. ”

Sitting inside was a lean middle-aged man, whom Wells explained his intentions and handed over the certificate of the city reserve of Kasol.

"I know, let him go to the third regiment and the third battalion to find the bazaar, and then let him arrange. The man hurriedly wrote a note and handed it to Kerry.

When Kerr took the note, Wells said to him, "I'll leave the rest to you, and I'll go back." ”

"Thank you, teacher. Nexus bowed slightly.

"Mix well, maybe you can count on you to soar in the future. ”

"Definitely. Nexus laughed.

After repeated inquiries along the way, Kox finally found the area where the three regiments and three battalions belonged, and there was a clearing in front of the building where the soldiers lived, and at this moment a group of soldiers were forming a large circle, making loud noises, and some people were applauding enthusiastically.

Curious, Kerx leaned over to see what they were doing.

In the center of the circle of the crowd were two young soldiers, who didn't look much bigger than Kerks. One is relatively muscular, with short brown hair and a cold glint in his eyes, which makes people shudder. The other looks more restrained, and the most conspicuous thing is the long white hair.

"What, Selt, you're not convinced?" the short-haired brown man scoffed.

Celt clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Gail, take your words back!"

"Am I not right? Aren't you nine teams just a waste team, mission completion scores, combat training is always the first. Gail deliberately made an exaggerated smile on his face and covered his stomach: "Hahahahahaha!"

"You!" said Celt's face turned extremely ugly.

There was a lot of commotion around.
