"Where are these people?"

In the dormitory of the Imperial College, Sheila was lying by the window, looking at the dozens of children walking by one after another outside the window, and asked strangely.

She was one of the second batch of children to be introduced to the Northlands at the beginning of the establishment of the Blackwing Imperial Academy, and it had been a while since the establishment of the Imperial Academy, although the Imperial Academy had not been established for a long time, but the students came from all over Eladia, she had seen white skin and blue eyes from the trading city-states like her, gray hair and brown eyes from the Riverlands, blonde hair from the Sunset Empire, and even the dwarves and barbarians of the Midsummer Islands in the Plains region, but she had never seen these very different children in front of her before.

Sheila is a member of the academy known as the "trade slave", although she did not receive a good education since she was a child, but her slave life in the trading city-state has made her more witty and intelligent, although sometimes she can't understand what the academy and the faculty do to do this, but she will subconsciously work hard to complete the academy's class hours and learning requirements, so after a few exams, she successfully became a senior student.

In contrast, many of the children older than her are still lingering in the lower grades.

Sheila's roommate, a fourteen-year-old girl named Sanriel David, closed her book when she heard this, and also came to the window, glancing at the freshmen who walked into the academy, she was in a completely different position from Sheila, her father was a blackwing baron in the Faye region, and for some reason her father took the initiative to send his two sons and a daughter to the Imperial Academy, and the preferential treatment was that although she was young, she was still an upperclassman.

Sanriel David squinted and looked at the uniform and ill-fitting clothes of the dark-skinned and black-eyed children: "Maybe it's a child from the East, right?" ”

After she finished speaking, she turned around and looked at the other roommate in the dormitory: "Noreen, have you ever seen someone like this?" ”

Noreen, who was more prosperous than Sanriel, walked over with a blank face, looked at the window, and said, "I don't know." ”

After finishing speaking, Noreen Wynant glanced at Shanyl David coldly: "But I know where they are from, didn't Mr. Lord mention the matter of Villeste?" ”

"Veloster? How could my father tell me this? Sanriel's eyes widened.

"Won't it?"

Noreen thought for a moment, then continued, "The savage and rude Willow refused to be civilized, and took the initiative to go to war with the sojourners sent by the Empire to the New World. That's what my father said. I think these were all captives after the defeat, and His Majesty the Great Emperor was merciful and tolerant, and gave these slaves a chance to be born again. ”

"So to speak." Sanriel pouted and looked at the last roommate in the corner who had been silent, "In the future, the trade slaves will not be the lowest-ranking students in the academy." ”

The girl curled up in the corner reading a book, not participating in their discussion, but only turned around when she heard the words.

Sheila's expression was also a little embarrassed.

Although they are in the same dormitory, Norreen Wynt and Shanyl David, as the children of the nobility, have no common language at all with Sheila and another girl, a young child from the foreign slave trade, their identities and experiences are very different.

In the environment of Eladia, without Emperor Caesar and the Black Wing Empire, it would be very difficult for these children to live in the same room, sit in the same classroom, or even appear in the same area.

"It's better to say as little as possible." After listening, Noreen reminded with a blank face: "People don't like to hear it, you know, Shanriel. She was not referring to students, but to academy faculty and other aristocrats.

"I'm so sorry." Sanriel hurriedly apologized to Sheila and the other girl.

Sanriel was of aristocratic origin, but her father's title was not inherited, but was later earned by allegiance to the new empire, and her family had lived in a harsh environment, so she could talk to children from other classes, and although she was open-mouthed, she would sincerely apologize when she did something wrong.

Sheila, by contrast, still prefers Sanriel, and Noreen always has a taste of the unattainable characters she's seen before.

"I don't know what will happen to these Velluster natives when they arrive at the Academy." Sanriel sighed and changed the subject.

Noreen, who has always been withdrawn and few words, looked at her frowning and realized what Sanriel was thinking, and rarely smiled: "What are you worried about?" This is the Imperial Academy, and no one can mess around here. ”

"God knows how different these Villeste natives are from us." Sanriel looked panicked, "I don't want to be in the same place with these guys, I heard from others that the natives of Veloster are the most savage and difficult creatures to communicate with, and they will actually eat living people, just like wild beasts!" Even the Blackwing Clan won't ......"

"Sanriel!" Noreen said heavily: "The Blackwing Clan is the guardian of the empire, even my father has to call them adults, you have said enough today, don't say it again." ”

Sanriel was able to learn of these rumors because Emperor Caesar's plans for cross-sea conquest had been thwarted, the ocean-going fleet was fighting against the local indigenous tribes off the coast of Vloster, and the empire was fueling propaganda in order to draw strength from the people to share the economic pressure.

In order to afford more sojourners to be stationed in Velloster, the ocean-going fleet must control the eastern entrance and exit of Willow, build ports along the coast that can anchor large ships, and in strategic deployment, the Blackwing Empire also intends to build military bases and supply points on the coastal islands of Willowster, which is undoubtedly a huge project in Willow, where magic is powerless.

But when the fleet landed in Veloster for the second time, the local natives seemed to realize something, and they united to take up arms and take the initiative to launch an attack on the Blackwing Empire's ocean-going fleet, and the war caused by the competition for resources broke out, and now it has lasted for two whole years, and even the people can hear news about the war in that "God's Forsaken Land" from time to time.

And the black-skinned and black-eyed alien children seen by Sheila and the others were indeed captives brought back by Veloster, the ocean-going fleet fought against the natives in the coastal areas, and broke more than one tribe, and those who resisted stubbornly and preferred to die were killed by the blackshirts, and the prisoners who were temporarily obedient were brought back by the ocean-going fleet in batches to serve as laborers, and these children were included as gifts.

The Imperial Academy established by Caesar does not only focus on theoretical knowledge, in addition to cultivating professional talents, one of the purposes of the establishment of the Imperial Academy also includes the supply of talents for the imperial forces, so the potential and improvement of personal ability is also a very important assessment item, the black dragon took a fancy to the excellent physical fitness of these Velluster natives, and planned to start naturalizing and cultivating from children.

On the other hand, the war in Vloster caused a lot of trouble for the Empire, and the war across the sea was a time-consuming, energy-consuming and money-consuming affair, and the point of the problem is that until now, the wartime statistics department has not given a specific number of how many tribes and how many indigenous people Vloster actually has.

The Blackwing Empire was forced into the quagmire of a protracted war, and in just two years, the ocean-going marines fought tens of thousands of wars of all sizes in Vloster, that is, the retribution continued, and until now the Empire still did not fully control the coast of Vloster.
