Chapter 2 Big Husband, Cute Big
Redana, the capital of the Salturin Empire, is an old and bustling city, at least on the surface, as long as you don't delve into the bad things that lurk in the dark corners of the city. Of course, there is no way to avoid this, and the cities are full of inequality between the rich and the poor, the contempt of the upper class for the people at the bottom, and the shameless and vicious assassinations of some ambitious or angry people because of blood feuds, and this is not a matter of a day or two, it is played out in almost every dynasty.
On the side of the alliance, due to the fact that several member states have to beware of each other in addition to the great enemy of the empire, similar situations cannot be said to be completely absent, but after all, it is much less, if they really want to let them go, it is estimated that they will be half a catty to eight taels with the empire.
But in any case, no matter how bad the bad thing hidden in the darkness is, Lydana is the capital of the empire after all, not an inconsequential village that can be casually abandoned in previous wars. Therefore, although the new young emperor was persuaded to leave the city for safety reasons, the military did not intend to abandon the city, but continued to strengthen the city's defenses before the alliance attacked.
This ancient city still retains the stone walls built in the past, which looks very exquisite and magnificent from a distance, and its structure is also very ingenious, even if the enemy pays a huge price to break through the outer wall, the three inner walls inside will turn the city into a terrifying bloody hell - but these are meaningless in the face of modern weapons and powerful Warcraft, and in the end, it is not the city wall that can stop the enemy, but the new Warcraft army that the Empire is secretly forming on a large scale.
The underground of the palace was originally built as a small fortress, naturally in order to escape and hide here when the royal family did not have time to escape, or continue to resist and wait for reinforcements, but now it has been rebuilt beyond recognition. Labyrinths and traps were bulldozed, paths that could only be passed by a few people were expanded, many habitable rooms were built, and even a large and spacious space was dug up.
This is the Empire's academy responsible for training new Warcraft controllers, not even a name, let alone a school uniform, and the only thing it has is an incomparable and fanatical loyalty to the Empire, or a talent and talent in controlling a new type of Warcraft.
Nangong Rong doesn't know which kind he belongs to, the Han people he belongs to were the sworn enemies of the empire, and after being defeated and conquered by the empire, he was slaughtered from a large ethnic group with a large population to a minority today, even if many years have passed, he will never forget his kindness, let alone hatred, and the Han people still have no sense of identity with Salturin, so naturally they can't talk about loyalty; 。
Maybe it's just to make it easier for the people above to put on a show after the academy becomes famous in the future, for example, high-profile remarks such as "anyone can apply to join the academy", "even Han people can enter the team that is destined to be the elite of the empire in the future, what are you waiting for" and so on, so it doesn't matter if an ordinary Han student comes in?
"Nangong Rong, are you fighting seriously!?"
Ah, oh no, oh no, right now, there's a simulated battle, and I'm accidentally distracted. Nangong Rong shuddered violently from the mouth of the huge orangutan on the opposite side, which was more than five people tall, and he hurriedly refocused his attention - but it was useless, and the large bobcat he was controlling was finally whipped away by the wooden stick in the gorilla's hand.
Changed to actual combat equipment such as metal maces or weapons such as long swords, the bobcat is afraid that it will not be able to fight at the moment, and it is worthy of being a power-type monster. If you really want to go to the battlefield, Ya is definitely a fierce god who can block and kill people and kill Buddhas, and it is estimated that there are few people who can sanction it.
However, it also depends on who controls the gorilla, if it is Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess Octavir - well, although using a gorilla as a monster does not match her image - some people believe that she can ride in and out of the enemy army, but if it is a guy like Bicester on the other side, Nangong Rong said that he can only bully himself.
It is reasonable that the adaptability between Nangong Rong and the new type of Warcraft is very high, and basically there will be no refusal to fight back, from the lowest-level reconnaissance cannon fodder-type Bobcat to the highest-level dragon-shaped Warcraft, he can control it;
Therefore, in the simulated battle, when others were concentrating on carefully controlling the Warcraft, Nangong Rong could freely wander his mind casually - because it was not him fighting at all, it was completely the mount itself acting.
It is precisely because of the pitiful weakness of the control of the demonic beast that Nangong Rong will often be beaten by others in various simulated battles so that he doesn't even know the old lady, coupled with his Han identity, the teachers who are fully responsible for teaching this class of students or the officials of the imperial military have arranged a very suitable mount for him and the tasks that he will perform on the battlefield in the future.
Lynx, as well as reconnaissance work.
Even so, there are still some guys like Bicester who take the initiative to find fault with Nangong Rong when they are fine, as for the reason......
As the bobcat hits the streets, the simulation battle is over. The gorilla's chest suddenly cracked a few cracks, and then the musculoskeletal or something opened outwards like petals of a blooming flower, revealing a blonde young man hiding in his chest, it was Bicester. This guy was born in a famous imperial family, the son of a general, and his appearance is not so handsome that he is enough to attract many girls, and he has also made a slight success in the art of war, and he has entered the new Warcraft army, and the future is simply bright.
In the past, it was impossible for Nangong Rong to have any intersection with such a person, even if he became a classmate now, even if he had an unchangeable aristocratic habit and atmosphere, Nangong Rong, as a commoner, took the initiative to lower his posture, and it was not impossible to get along with the other party. But the problem is that the other party doesn't think like this.
"Really, you haven't made any progress in a year, and I don't know why Master Matthias named an existence like you to be assigned to the academy in the first place. After jumping to the ground, Bicester stretched his body while looking at Nangong Rong's bobcat and said, "My lord, he has created many miracles for the empire, but he is the only one who has completely lost his eyes on you. If I were you, you should have submitted a withdrawal request to the academy now and disappeared from the imperial capital without a sound, instead of shamelessly continuing to eat and drink here. ”
See, how can the two sides get along happily like this?
As for Lord Matthias, whom Bistest mentioned, he was the genius who first created a monster that could be used in battle, and when the Alliance came up with the concept of combining the monster and the controller into one, and defeated the Imperial army, he quickly came up with targeted countermeasures. Although nominally still nominally an apprentice disciple of the members of the strangely unscrupulous group of magicians, he has far surpassed his teachers and wielded enormous power within the Empire, which has not fallen under the onslaught of the Alliance.
Matthias is indeed a very remarkable person, but as Buist said, Nangong Rong has no clue why he took the initiative to find himself when he was testing everyone for the adaptability of a new type of Warcraft in the name of health checks in the village, let alone forcibly stuffing him into the academy's freshman list by name. If it weren't for the sake of future publicity needs but really thought that he was talented, then Nangong Rong could tell Matthias very responsibly that he had really lost his eyes at the beginning.
But this does not affect Nangong Rong to rely on eating and drinking in the academy, and now the world is constantly in turmoil, and the lives of civilians are extremely unstable and insecure, and the small village in his hometown has also been captured by the alliance and lost contact, God knows what happened to his relatives and friends there. If he leaves the academy and only follows his father in the village and has been a hunter for two and a half years, Nangong Rong has neither start-up capital nor skills, how can he mix after he goes out?
So between being stripped of hard labor and being a cannon fodder scout in the academy and graduating from the academy to being a cannon fodder scout in the army, Nangong Rong chose the latter without hesitation. What's more, Nangong Rong is not the only one who is forced to enter the school in the village, there is also a girl named Vilentina - the two know each other at most, not to mention childhood sweethearts, but the key is that Nangong Rong secretly likes this girl, how can he leave her alone with confidence?
"I'm really sorry, I didn't have any intention of dropping out. Nangong Rong also struggled out of the bobcat's chest at this moment, and said while tearing off the similar nerve endings that stuck to the surface of the skin, and the strange organization used to establish a connection between the demonic beast and the controller, he replied, "After all, I am a commoner and you are a nobleman, I have no connections and no funds, and it is difficult to find a job to eat." In contrast, it's much safer to stay in the academy and wait until you graduate to join the army, and your future is brighter, isn't it?"
The quality of mass-produced cannon fodder Warcraft is that it is not as good as those high-end goods, and these connected organizations even need to be stripped by the controller himself. Nangong Rong, who was very annoyed by the pulling, naturally did not have a good tone when he spoke, under normal circumstances, civilians would definitely be confused on the spot when they spoke to nobles in this tone, but after a whole year of Bicester and others constantly finding fault and Nangong Rong couldn't bear to fight back, almost everyone gradually became familiar with and got used to (?) this way of speaking of the young man.
In Bicester's words, it was no different from the barking of a defeated dog to embolden himself.
It's not that no one tried to secretly use some shady means to teach Nangong Rong a lesson in private, but they were all stopped by the officers who were responsible for training them. Of course, it's not because it's not a dogma that it's forbidden to hurt classmates for any reason and in any way, but it's said that Matthias has specially greeted his subordinates to take care of Nangong Rong.
And then there are even more people who take the initiative to use the simulation battle to make trouble for the teenager - if it is replaced by someone else, after such a large number of simulated combat training for a long time, even the most clumsy natural fool in the world is estimated to be able to control the monster freely at this moment;
"Tsk, so civilians are really ......" Bicester on the other side pouted unhappily when he heard this, and continued to speak after casually waving his hand to let his mount gorilla leave, "But Nangong Rong, do you really think that you can get out of the army by staying in the army? Don't forget how bad your control skills are, and tomorrow we will go to the front line to participate in the first actual battle, if there are really casualties, there will definitely be yours." While you are resting in the afternoon, it is better for you to hurry up and pray to the goddess and ask for her blessing, so as not to hang up in the first battle. ”
"Don't worry about you, I have my own arrangements for the afternoon. Nangong Rong completely ignored Bicester, turned around and touched the head of the injured lynx, comforted the other party, and said without looking back, "If there is nothing else, I will go first." ”
It's really annoying to say these unlucky words before going to the battlefield, and Nangong Rong can't just pounce over and stage a real PK or something-waste of saliva and sneering, and no one cares, but if you really want to do it with each other, the officers nearby will definitely not continue to pretend not to see it, not to mention the nobles who are beaten by civilians on their own initiative - so it's more appropriate to leave directly here, out of sight and out of mind.
Besides, the teenager did have his own plans in the afternoon. As Bicester said, tomorrow they will go to the battlefield to cooperate with the defenders of the imperial capital to take the initiative to counterattack the allied forces that have gathered around, and it is not strange that nothing happens in the battle, so in order to avoid leaving regrets, Nangong Rong decided to take the initiative to die.
That's right, this guy is going to confess to Virentina, that is, the legendary flag for himself. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, many students, including the nobles who control powerful demonic beasts, have plans to do something before going to the battlefield, from writing suicide notes to three or five friends getting together to eat and drink, etc., and there are many people who confess to girls, and there is no shortage of Nangong Rong.
It's just that the control technique is only (5) and can't control the Warcraft well at all, not to mention, and a death flag is added, is it really okay for Nangong Rong to do this?
