Chapter 8 This is the Academy
If it were an ordinary person, Ge Zhe would definitely not pay attention to it, he was the deputy head of the Great Sword Mercenary Regiment, a nineteenth-level realm warrior, although he did not have a high-level guard wind mage due to cost considerations, but the elite-level scouts in the team had already dispersed a mile away.
However, the person in front of him is the most special late summer mercenary group with the fewest and most special members of the joint escort group, even if the strength of the team members is not outstanding, but with the golden signboard of Ye Ye Academy, no one will despise them.
So he opened his mouth and didn't scold, and the boy's performance just now also gave him a good impression: "My scout didn't notice it. ”
Ge Sheng could hear the other party's disapproval, but he still bowed slightly: "The companion below is good at perception, she told me that there is a team of 100 cavalry approaching six miles away, please pay attention to the regiment commander." ”
Ge Zhe frowned, no one on his side of the mysterious mage who was always caged in black robe could see through her details, if it was her warning, he would need to investigate thoroughly.
So he nodded, and raised a yellow flag on his horse, and in a short time he saw a horse coming from the front, and the convoy did not stop, and Ge Sheng followed him on foot.
It was a lean man, who covered most of his face with a dirty black cloth, revealing only a little silver hair, and he reined in before Gozhe, and looked at his deputy head with an inquiring gaze.
Gozhe didn't let Ge Sheng speak, but repeated the situation himself, and the man nodded, stood up straight on horseback, and looked into the distance.
Ge Sheng looked at the skilled man and remembered that his name was Sam, an experienced thief who, every time a campfire was lit at night, he would take a beer glass and make a bet with the living to see if he could stack ten silver horns on his dagger.
Of course, he never lost once.
At this time, it was already deep winter, although there was no snowfall, but the sky was gloomy, just now Ge Sheng saw it in the air, there was no smoke and dust of cavalry running, he just simply believed in the ability of the Third Highness.
It's just that at this time, Ge Zhe's brows slowly wrinkled, his eyes narrowed, and he looked down at his head: "Let the convoy stop." ”
Gozhe then pulled out a red flag from his waist, shook it slightly, and saw all the scouts gathered towards the convoy, and the horses and vehicles that were moving immediately stopped, and they were extremely well trained.
Sam silently jumped off his horse, lying flat on the cold, dusty ground, his ears pressed against the stiff frozen ground.
Everyone couldn't help but stop with bated breath when they saw this scene, waiting for the result of his listening. 、
It was said slowly, but it was only a few breaths, and when Sam stood up, he had an ugly wry smile on his face: "Boss, if we are all alive after today, then we should really give this little brother a big toast." ”
Gozhe's face changed.
Toasting is a jargon in the mercenary business.
The wine is not big, but it must drip blood.
After drinking this cup of bloody wine, the person in front of him is his life-saving benefactor, and if he needs it in the future, he will stick a knife in both ribs and never give up.
Ge Sheng naturally didn't understand, but he heard Sam then look into the distance: "The extremely elite cavalry is comparable to the speed of a rapid march, but whether it is smoke or the sound of hooves, it is at a terrifying level. ”
"I don't know if the Lanye Empire has such a terrifying army." He sighed: "But I know that the Sturt Empire must have it. ”
Flame Legion.
He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning came.
"Stop!" Gozhe's face was completely gray, and he rode around the circle, giving one last shout to everyone in the convoy.
"Formation!"
In such a wilderness, no convoy could withstand the frontal charge of a cavalry hundred, if this hundred-man team had an elite level comparable to that of the Blazing Legion.
Fortunately, the mercenary group involved in the escort were all experienced veterans, and when they heard the order, they immediately took action, the horses were unloaded from the carriage, the shuttle car carrying the goods stopped in the outermost circle, followed by the carriage carrying people, a loose circle of carriages was arranged extremely quickly, and a circle of rejecting horses with a glittering silver light was taken out of the rear carriage and placed in the forefront.
Fortunately, they don't know the true strength of their opponents, so they can arrange everything calmly and quickly.
In the center of this chariot array that blocked the charge, only three or four cars stopped there, except for the carriage of the nobleman, the carriage of the Third Highness was also impressively in the column.
After all, in the hearts of these mercenaries, these students from Ye Ye Academy are more VIPs than companions.
Because, all Lanye people firmly believe that the academy is their supreme pride.
Even though the city-state kingdom established by Ye Ye Academy a hundred years ago was terminated by Emperor Yuantai, and the saint died in the city of a thousand towers, this pride has never changed.
Because the empire itself has never denied this pride.
Among the founding fathers of the Lanye Empire, nearly half of them have studied in Ye Ye Academy, the emperor, empress, and marshal of the empire are the most outstanding elites since the establishment of the academy, Ye Ye City has been awarded the status of accompanying the capital, and Ye Ye Academy is still the fourth pole of the world.
What's more, the fundamental defender of this glory is not the Academy, not the Empire, but the Ye Ye Academy students themselves.
They carried this supreme glory into what was widely regarded as the best academy in the world, and when they came out, they all became the best elites in their own fields.
There is something mysterious about that academy, or it is extremely brainwashing, and in the words of an outsider, it is, "When you are in contact with them for a long time, you will feel as if you are not a person of the same world." ”
They generally have a very low desire for money - if you spend your entire teenage years in a place where you can live by merit.
Their thirst for honor and power is low - if you've been brainwashed to survive in the anti-authority tradition of the Scarlet Heart Gym.
They have a strong gossip spirit, a strong sense of self-discipline, but also a strong degree of organization - it depends on which community you are mainly serving in.
They themselves don't value the honor of the academy, but they have a strong sense of identity as a student of Ye Ye Academy—because this is the academy.
Yeye Academy has some of the best scholars in the world.
Ye Ye Academy has the most powerful warriors in the world.
Yeye Academy is in the most beautiful city in the world.
Ye Ye Academy cultivates the best talent in the world.
Originally, this was a very unreasonable pride, because the above four are actually very unjustified.
But when all the Lanye people regard it as the truth, it becomes an unquestionable pride.
They have reason to defend this pride, just as a proud father defends his illustrious children.
They also have a responsibility to preserve this pride, just as children with conviction are defending their great ancestors.
Looking back, Ye Ye Academy is the glory of its ancestors.
Looking ahead, Ye Ye Academy is the future that children and grandchildren are moving towards.
Even if it may be difficult for them to actually intersect with the academy in their lifetime, as long as the academy does not fall, this belief will not be extinguished.
So that's the Academy.
Ge Sheng stood in the safe harbor surrounded by the Lanye people, and suddenly for no reason, he was full of indescribable identification with his identity in Ye Ye Academy.
