Chapter 4: The Morning Striker
After registering, the person in charge of recruiting soldiers gave him a certificate scroll and told him to report to the legion station in Yangfan Harbor in three days. Then I started to arrange for other applicants.
After getting the registration form, Xie Feng immediately walked to the fairy hotel. He wanted to tell Jovia the good news as soon as possible. In the past week, Xie Feng has lived in the Fairy Hotel, and he has become very familiar with Yovia. And because Jovia had just lost her brother. He takes good care of Xie Feng, who has also 'lost' his family. And he has been sparing no effort to find the news about the paladin that Xie Feng asked him to find. He told Jovia that his family had died in the war. Now there is only one person left.
And that's exactly what happened. He may never see his parents and older siblings in his previous life again. This made Jovia very sympathetic, and often talked to him and enlightened him. To Jovia, the shy young elf was in sympathy with her. Like her, lost everything in the war. Therefore, he used all his love for his younger brother to Xie Feng.
And Xie Feng, who was also a little depressed because of the loss of his family, was cared for by Jovia in the most difficult time. Therefore, he put his attachment to family affection on Jovia's body. After all, people are emotional creatures. There is always a need for a kind of sustenance. Xie Feng is not a killer or a special soldier. It's just a half-otaku obsessed with online games. It's not enough to be too forgetful.
In the past few days, he has become much more cheerful after Jovia's enlightenment. No longer so guarded and depressed. From the bottom of my heart, I already regard her as a sister. Therefore, when he got the method of opening the Paladin's class, he immediately wanted to tell Jovia the good news and share his joy with him.
Walking into the Leprechaun Hotel, I find Jovia sitting at the bar as usual, sipping red wine elegantly. Xie Feng excitedly walked over to greet him:
'Sister Jovia, I've found a way to become a paladin. Lady Liadline is forming Silvermoon's first Paladin Legion and recruiting soldiers. I've already signed up. See! That's the registration form, I can be a real paladin in three days!! β
Looking at Xie Feng's excited expression, Jovia was also happy for him. After all, after getting along for the past few days, she knew how terrible this brother's obsession with becoming a paladin was, so she did her best to help him find out the news. However, she didn't get any news, and she couldn't help but feel anxious for Xie Feng. Now hearing that he could finally become a paladin, Jovia also let go of the burden on her heart.
She thought that Xie Feng's insistence on becoming a paladin was caused by his hatred for the natural disaster because of the loss of his relatives in the natural disaster war. I also tried to persuade him to become a mage. After all, his willpower to 'resist' the addiction is no joke.
'Great, Alex! Your wish has finally come true. My sister is happy for you too!! I wish you an early success as a paladin as powerful as Uther. β
'Thank you, Sister Jovia! I won't disappoint your expectations!! β
After chatting with Jovia for a while, and receiving the blessings of the other innkeepers and some acquaintances, Xie Feng said goodbye to them and went back upstairs.
After returning to the room, he calmed down his excitement a little, and began his daily training routine, that is, the practice of arcane torrents and mana sucking.
ββββββ
The three days of waiting were spent in plain and dull, because every day was spent practicing skills, and Xie Feng didn't feel so difficult.
Three days of hard work had increased Xie Feng's arcane torrent's cast range by a yard. And the mana sucking finally drew a trace of magic from the mana crystal that Jovia gave him. Although the beam was still crooked, it would break if you were not careful. But the success of absorbing a trace of magic still made him feel extremely excited, and greatly boosted his confidence.
Three days flew by.
It's finally time to part. Xie Feng walked downstairs and came to Jovia to say goodbye. But he still didn't say anything for a long time, and the past few days of getting along made him feel the warmth of home from Jovia. Saying goodbye is simply unspeakable.
After looking at each other for a long time, it was Jovia who finally spoke first to end the silence;
'Are you leaving?' β
'Yes~ I'm going to Yangfan Port to report. The Knights are about to start training. Xie Feng was a little afraid to face Yovia's eyes, lowered his head and whispered.
So, will you come back?' How long will it take? β
I don't know, but it shouldn't be long. I believe in freedom, the discipline of the army is too strict, I just need to find my way as a paladin. I'll get out of there and come back. β
A smile finally appeared on Jovia's delicate countenance:
Come back to see me as soon as possible, brother! β
Xie Feng also smiled:
Of course, it gives me the warmth of home. No matter how far I go, I will come back to see my sister! β
The smiles of the two dispelled the clouds of parting.
Xie Feng picked up a small backpack that Yovia had prepared for him, the Traveler's Backpack, and tied it around his belt. Turn around and stride out of the hotel.
ββββββ
After more than half a day of trekking, Xie Feng finally came to Yangfan Port. The registration office for the Morning Striker was found in the lower rotunda of a towering tower.
After some formalities, he was taken to the Morning Striker Legion garrison, located at the foot of the southern mountain of Yangfan Harbor. There were two rows of 12 soldiers standing at the entrance of the camp, and judging by the evil aura they emanated, they were definitely battle-hardened veterans who had crawled out of the pile of dead. Seeing Xie Feng walking towards the camp gate, the twelve guards immediately looked at him.
The moment he was stared at by twenty-four pairs of implicit murderous eyes, Xie Feng only felt a chill emerge from the bottom of his heart, his heartbeat accelerated rapidly, and cold sweat was like rain. Courageously he walked up to a soldier and handed him his proof. It was only after the soldiers confirmed that those terrible eyes were removed from him.
After walking quickly through the camp gate, Xie Feng found that his back was cold. Is this a veteran of a hundred battles? If ordinary warriors face them, even if they are one or two orders stronger, they may not be able to win~
Suppressing the shock in his heart, he began to look around. Patches of neat tents are scattered around the perimeter, interspersed with patrolling guards from time to time. There was a big tent in the middle of the camp, which should be the big tent of the Chinese army.
The camp is surrounded by a number of arrow towers, all of which are visited by eagle-eyed rangers! There are also some fortifications around the tower, and the shadows of some throwing carts can be seen from time to time.
In some dark corners of the camp, some shadows flashed from time to time. These are dark sentinels made up of stalkers. Those shadows are probably because they are exposed by the shift change. Otherwise, with Xie Feng's eyesight, it would be impossible to see it at all.
In the middle of the camp was the school grounds, where a group of soldiers were drilling. They were recruits who had arrived here a month earlier than Xie Feng. After this month's training, it has taken shape. The queue is neat, refreshed, and morale is high. But the instructors were still not satisfied
These instructors are elite veterans transferred from other regiments. Their demands on recruits are almost demanding. The slightest disappointment will add punches and kicks. The shouting and scolding came one after another.
It's not that the instructors are deliberately mistreating the recruits. It's just a unique way of educating them. The seemingly boring training is a valuable experience that veterans have gained from gambling their lives on the battlefield time and time again. They believe that this kind of education will make the recruits have the deepest memories. And these memories may make them live a little longer on the battlefield. It's a unique barracks culture. When the recruits grow up, they will also use this teaching method on the new recruits, and it will be passed on from generation to generation.
Xie Feng sighed at this special ancient barracks culture, and walked around the school yard to the quartermaster's barracks, which he knew from the mouths of a team of patrol soldiers.
In the quartermaster tent, a middle-aged officer saw Xie Feng coming over and immediately howled at him: 'Hey, boy! You're new here, right? I'm Lieutenant Allen, the quartermaster, and now you can come and fill out this form right away! Don't ask anything else!! I've explained it to you noobs countless times today!! I don't want to waste a little more saliva!! The officer who claimed to be Lieutenant Allen roared at Xie Feng.
Xie Feng looked at the middle-aged officer, didn't say anything, and walked over to fill in the form strangely.
This is a military certificate. As soon as he finished filling it out, the middle-aged officer snatched the form, handed him a badge, and howled: 'Now fill in your name!! β
Xie Feng's mechanical over, it is a chapter of military cards~ The back says the company and the camp, and the bottom is blank. It should be the place where the name is written. After Xie Feng filled in his name, a magical light flashed on the military card. Then the font on it freezes, as if it were inlaid on it. It's a safeguard against tampering!!
Lieutenant Allen immediately said, 'Keep it!' If you can't get it out when you're patrolled by the camp rangers, they'll definitely send you to Sargeras!! Then he handed him a package and said: 'Go to the east side of the camp and find Captain Robles, who is your boss and instructor!' Go now!! Immediately!! Right away!! 'Alan pointed to the tent door!!
Walking out of the military tent, Xie Feng turned around and raised his middle finger at the tent!! He used international gestures to express the indignation in his heart, shouting: "You middle-aged uncle with facial paralysis!! Then turn around and run away!!
There was an immediate roar of anger from the tent~'Bastard!' You goddamn noob!! But when he ran out, Xie Feng was already nowhere to be found
ββββββ
Xie Feng found a corner and changed into the reserve uniform issued to him by the quartermaster, which was a red robe with an elf style, gorgeous and elegant. There is no helmet, just a set of tight-fitting leather armor, and I guess I only wear plate armor when training or going to battle, right? After all, wearing heavy plate armor without training is definitely not something that ordinary people can bear.
When Xie Feng walked through the school yard and went to find Officer Robles. The whole camp remembered a rush of trumpets! All the people poured towards the Dianjiangtai in the school yard. I was in the mood to see the excitement. Xie Feng also walked forward with the flow of people. Anyway, everyone is there, and Robles can't wait for him somewhere else~
On the podium sat five general-level officers wearing ornate plate armor. When the audience is almost together. The leader of the officers, who was sitting in the middle, walked forward and stood in front of the stage, and the other four men also walked behind her and stood on the left and right. Patrolling the soldiers below.
The leading general wore silver full-body plate armor, covered with black stripes on a red background, and a beautiful and gorgeous battle robe. There was a strong surge of holy light energy around his body. The plate armor envelops the general's entire body. Under the cover of the helmet, even the face could not be seen. Only the blazing eyes leaked out.
But her bumpy and seductive figure reminds everyone all the time that this majestic general is a woman!
At this time, the female general raised her sword and slammed it to the ground, and the whole person emitted a burst of strong holy light energy. The powerful force caused the ground around the tip of the sword to crack and spread out in all directions, and from the middle of the rift rose a divine flame, surrounding the general, making it like a god descending from the sky, making people dare not look at it directly.
The audience instantly became silent~ The pin drop can be heard!
Everyone was shocked by the great power of the generals! Including Xie Feng!
'ThisγThis is dedication!! Definitely dedication!! β
Xie Feng is very familiar with the skills of the paladin, how could he not know such a unique sound and light effect~~ At this time, he was also shocked in his heart~
'It seems that Astalo Bloodoath's experiment has been completed, and the sound and light theft plan has been successful~'
'Such a powerful holy light energy can actually be mastered, so who this female general is is already ready to come out~'
'It must be Liadrin, who was once a high-ranking priest and was very familiar with the Light! β
At this time, the general glanced at the soldiers in the audience, as if he was very satisfied with his appearance. He said, 'Me! It's Countess Leah Deline!! Warlord of the Morrowind!! β
'From this day forward, all of you will obey my command!!' Charge where the sword of His Royal Highness the Great Prince points to!!
'We are invincible under the leadership of His Royal Highness the Prince!!' β
'The Order of Morrowind, officially established!! β
A sonorous and powerful speech made the blood of all the blood elves present boiling!!
'For the Morrowind Legion!! β
'For the glory of Sindore!! β
'Long live His Royal Highness the Prince!! β
Even Xie Feng, an outsider, was also infected by the fanatical atmosphere of the scene~ shouted with the elves!
At the same time, such a thought flashed in Xie Feng's heart~
'It is said that the defense knight relies on illusion to stabilize the enemy's first hatred on himself, and every powerful defense paladin is an outstanding illusionist, and Liadline can incite the elves into such a frenzy with just a few words~ Even I feel the blood boiling~ It seems that the rumors are true!! β
