When Harvey's body was transported back to the barracks, the news of his death quickly spread throughout the checkpoint, and all the soldiers of the Cadet Corps wept bitterly, but they did not have more time to soak up their grief. After a brief mourning ceremony, an urgent military meeting was held in the Chinese Army's tent, attended by all the senior generals of the Cadet Corps, with Miranda and Feige attending as representatives of the magicians. Presiding over the meeting was the deputy head of the regiment, Stanny, who had just taken over the command from the sacrificial Harvey.

"Ten minutes ago, we received news that two wings of orcs had rounded the south side of the checkpoint at night, and we were surrounded by orcs. ”

Stanny's voice was hoarse as he reported the latest military information.

"Deputy Commander, I asked for orders to guard Nancheng and fight with them!"

Morey stood up when he heard this, his eyes were red, and there were still tears in the corners of his eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm not done yet. ”

Still calm, Stanny waved his hand for Morey to sit down first. He understands Morey's mood very well at the moment, in fact, he is more sad than everyone for Harvey's sacrifice, Harvey is one of his dearest three people, including Alan and Miranda, he and Harvey have been getting along with each other in the past few years, on the surface they are not convinced by each other, but in his heart he has always regarded Harvey as a teacher as a brother, that feeling is even closer than a brother, when he realized that Harvey sacrificed, he only hated that he could not die on the battlefield with Harvey. But now he knew that the Boys' Regiment was gone, and if Harvey was lost, none of them would be able to escape from the orc's encirclement. So at this moment, as a commander-in-chief, he must be calm, he understands that everyone is not afraid of death, but he can't put everyone to death, at least some can't.

"Now that we are outnumbered and outnumbered, we must send someone for help. ”

It wasn't until Morey sat back in his seat that Stanny continued.

"Asking for help?"

Stanny's words immediately caused a question, the head of the regiment Allen is hundreds of miles away at the moment, and there is no time to rush back, even the nearest ancient city is more than two hundred miles away, and there are only some security teams left in the city to ensure local security, and the combat effectiveness of the security team The Youth League has been taught, and it is okay to bully the common people, if you encounter the orcs, you will collapse the army, and looking for them to support will only add to the chaos.

"Brother Allen once said before he set out that he wanted us to hold out at Capra Pass for fifteen days, and now that there are only three days left before the deadline, it is better to wait here for Brother Allen to come back than to send people out to ask for help. ”

The first to stand up and raise objections was Miranda, and at once he moved out of the order of the regiment commander Allen, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Commander Allen is on a mission to rescue the Grand Prince of Yus, his opponent is very strong, the operation may not go well, we can't put all hope on him. ”

Stanny coughed lightly twice and explained.

"Brother Allen has always spoken..."

Miranda was about to argue again, but Stanny interrupted him:

"I've decided on this matter, and it's up to Miranda to call for help. ”

"Me?"

Miranda pointed to her nose in surprise.

"Yes, I'll leave early tomorrow morning in the Flying Magic Array. ”

"Orcs have two-legged wyverns, and it may not be safe to ride in a flying magic array. Do you want to send a few crossbowmen to protect you?"

Wing Captain Morey reminded with some concern.

"No, there isn't that much space on the Flying Magic Circle with other magicians, but don't worry, I'll let Yenarondia escort them all the way to Augu Castle. ”

Listening to Stanny's words, Morey and Ronan beside him glanced at each other, they finally understood what Stany was going to do, magicians were the group that the leader Allen valued the most, and they couldn't let them sacrifice with him, so they stopped talking.

"I disagree!"

Miranda broke out, she slammed the table and stood up, and shouted:

"I'm not only a magician, I'm also a member of the Youth League, and the battle is not over yet, and I can't leave. ”

Miranda's eyes widened and she excitedly stated the reason why she couldn't leave.

"Sister Claire is right, there is a need for a magician here, and we can't leave. ”

Feige also stood up, the usually shy big boy made a rare public gesture, and stood firmly on Miranda's side.

"I'm not asking for your opinion, it's an order and it must be carried out. ”

Stanny said in a forceful denial.

"What if I refuse to carry out the order?"

In the face of Stanny's strength, Miranda did not back down at all.

"That's just going to be enforced, someone, to keep them in check. ”

Stanny called the guards, but before the two guards could come up and arrest him, he was knocked down by two lightning spells unleashed by Miranda.

"Ronan, Morey, you do it yourself. ”

Stanny gave the order with a heavy face, Ronan and Morey were both high-level swordsmen, and it was impossible for Miranda's magic to take them down in an instant.

"Stanny, listen to me. With us here, we can give everyone magical support, let us sacrifice a few brothers less, and today Harvey has left us, and you don't want others to follow in Harvey's footsteps, right?"

Seeing that Stanny had made up her mind, Miranda knew that she might not be able to solve the problem by force, so she could only change her way and understand it with emotion.

But unexpectedly, Stanny was not only unmoved, but calmly gave the order:

"Morey, Ronan, do it!"

Morey and Ronan didn't hesitate and sandwiched Miranda in the middle, one left and one right.

"Feige..."

Miranda tries to ask Feige for help, but Sanders and Aiden stand by Feige's side, and both magicians are contained.

"Take them down, and the other magicians, watch them all tonight, and send them back to the ancient city of Aogu at dawn tomorrow. ”

Stanny waved his hand, he didn't even have the courage to turn his head to look at Miranda. The four of them escorted Miranda and Feige out, Miranda still wanted to struggle, but it was useless under the close protection of the high-ranking swordsman.

"Stanny, I have one thing I want to say to you, and it should be our last goodbye. ”

As she reached the door of the tent, Miranda suddenly stopped and shouted with all her might.

Stanny's body shook when he heard this, he hesitated for a moment, but walked over to Miranda's side.

"Stanny, come here. ”

Randa, wiping away tears from her eyes, looked as if she had just made the most important decision of her life, called Stanny to her side, and then put Stanny's ear and said a word.

For a moment, Stanny was stunned, his expression a little strange, as if he couldn't believe what he had heard. He looked at Miranda, as if to confirm Miranda's meaning, until he saw Miranda nodding solemnly at him, that he made up his mind, turned around and announced again:

"Miranda stays and sends the other magicians to Castle Agu. ”

What Miranda said to Stanny that night to make him change his mind is a mystery. Ronan and Morey were beside them at the time, and they had pricked up their ears to hear Miranda's words, but they heard nothing, and they guessed that Miranda was using sound transmission magic when she spoke.

Many years later, the boys' brothers talked about the events of the night in their spare time, and they speculated that Miranda was saying:

"Stanny, let's fight together, and if I don't die, I'll marry you. ”
