It's been three days since the start of school, and everything is on track.

Early in the morning, Emily, who was cloaked, sat on a chair behind the podium, and asked the eighty apprentices to take a copy of "Introduction to Natural Science (I)" on the lectern table in front of her, and then held a book given to her by Jiang Feng and looked at it with relish, no longer bothering those little ghosts.

That bad guy didn't tell her that being a teacher was so boring.

Yesterday, Jiang Feng said that Emily would be a teacher, and Emily decisively agreed, and reached out to hook him, for fear that he would regret it.

Thinking that she would soon become a teacher, educating other children the way wizards taught herself, Emily couldn't sleep with excitement all night. But today she learned that being a teacher not only has to sit in the classroom all the time, but also has to face a group of dumb ghosts.

For Emily, who couldn't stay idle, it was nothing short of torture.

"Big liar."

Holding the book, Emily muttered something quietly.

By the way, there's nothing else to say.

Emily suddenly remembered Jiang Feng's advice yesterday, quickly cleared her throat, and said to the students who were studying on their own.

"Little ghosts, you can study this book on your own, and if you don't understand, you can raise your hand and ask questions. Each person only has one chance to ask questions a day, so remember not to ask Emily too boring questions. And then...... This is followed by a monthly quiz to test the effectiveness of learning. Those who fail three times in one academic year will be eliminated directly. Remember? ”

The apprentices, who were drowsy with their books, suddenly changed their faces when they heard this.

No one thought that there would be such a thing as elimination.

No, I don't want to leave this place.

Many of the apprentices' eyes widened, and their sleepiness swept away from their eyes.

For these apprentices, leaving here is not as simple as dropping out.

The moment they were selected for the apprenticeship, they had been lifted from the floor to the clouds by those who had looked down on them, or rather despised them. Especially those big families in Boulder City, in order to please their fathers, they even put down their noble stature and gave up those interests that they didn't dare to hope for.

One can imagine what awaits them if they lose their apprenticeship titles.

Those who had lifted them up in the air, with as much force as they lifted them up, would have slammed them to the ground and stepped on them with a few desperate kicks, so that he and the family behind him would never be able to turn over.

Although they were only twelve or thirteen years old, they could not have been born into a merchant family without thinking about these simple truths.

At this time, Serem, who was sitting in the corner because of his height, rolled his eyes and seemed to have caught something.

Each student only has three opportunities to ask questions a day, and this opportunity is undoubtedly quite precious, whether they can successfully pass the test in a month, it can be said that in addition to studying the textbook, it depends on how to ask 30 questions in this month.

He felt that he should discuss with these classmates how to ask questions after class, and it was best to gather a few classmates to discuss together, arrange the order and topics of questions in a planned manner, and then share what he has learned.

After all, the power of one person is always small, but the power of the collective is different.

……

In the midst of the Kara Mountains,

On the walls of Sardiniburg, Flynn's wrinkled face was full of sadness.

The rebels' offensive became more and more ferocious, and even rushed to the castle wall several times, if it were not for the Marshal Duke Longfellow led his guards to desperately defend the gatehouse, perhaps the banner of Sardiniburg would have turned into a long sword around the python.

At this moment, the knight in chain mail hurriedly walked over and knelt on one knee.

"Your Majesty, Lord Silita has a letter."

Flynn's eyes widened, his wrinkles seemed to have smoothed out, and he quickly said, "Read, not a word." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The knight bowed his head, opened the envelope and said, "Your Majesty, Sirita has led reinforcements to the foot of the Kara Mountains. The rebels set up fortifications at the valley pass to intercept the attack. In order to preserve their strength, our soldiers will launch an attack tomorrow, please rest assured. ”

"Okay, great."

Flynn clenched his fists and pounded excitedly on the battlements.

As a king, he shouldn't have made such a rash move, but he couldn't contain the excitement in his heart.

He had heard of the miracle of the Gundar family being canonized as the Chosen One by the baptism of the Light.

Although the Father God and the Elven King chose a female stream to become the Chosen One at the same time, there will be some jokes that there are no men in the Rick Kingdom, which will make Flynn, who is besieged in Sardiniburg, lose his face, but now is obviously not the time to worry about face.

For him, nothing is more important than the throne.

……

On the second day, when the first rays of sunlight shone on the land, Cilita's army reached the Kara Mountains, but at Derrank's suggestion, Celita did not rush forward, but sent a few scouts to scout the road in case there was an ambush on the road.

Soon after, the cavalry wearing chain mail hurried back, turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "Report to your lord, at the valley pass one kilometer ahead, the enemy has piled up a stone wall with rocks, and the subordinates have taken a general look, the stone wall is about two people high, but it is located on the hillside, easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

Cilita's face changed slightly when she heard this, but she didn't expect to encounter obstacles when she arrived here.

"I didn't expect that the rebels have already set up fortifications on the way to the castle," a trace ......of solemnity flashed between Derrank's eyebrows, "If we force an attack, we will certainly be able to capture the stone wall, but we will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and if the enemy takes advantage of the situation to launch a charge, it will be extremely unfavorable to our army." ”

"But His Majesty won't last long, we must break through the barrier as soon as possible," Celia thought for a moment and said, "Derrank, let the soldiers prepare siege equipment and attack the city tomorrow." ”

"Yes." Derak shook the reins, turned his horse's head and ran towards the rear of the position.

The two-person high city wall requires a four-person high ladder, and considering the condescending position on the opposite side, tomorrow's battle is bound to be a tough battle. However, just as Derak was directing the soldiers to prepare the siege equipment, the group of recruits who were originally standing at the rear of the army suddenly began to move forward.

The craftsman, who was squatting on the ground assembling the ladder, noticed the movement of the army, and couldn't help but stand up, casting a surprised gaze over there.

"What are those guys trying to do? We haven't finished our ladder yet......"

"Hell, those guys are recruits, right?"

"Just like this, they are still on the battlefield, I don't think they can even resist a charge."

"What does Mistress Cilita think again?"

While the craftsmen who were assembling the siege equipment were gossiping, Liszt, dressed in light armor, had already stopped at a distance of five hundred paces from the stone wall with his neatly footed troops, and lined up in a long column in an orderly manner, and actually surrounded the entire downhill slope of the valley with five thousand men.

Seeing this scene, the experienced veterans shook their heads one after another.

The formation is too thin, no more than three columns in the longitudinal direction, even the heavy armored soldiers will definitely not dare to pull out such a thin formation, if the opposite side sends cavalry, it only takes a reunion to knock this formation into a thousand holes. Not to mention 5,000 people, even if it is 50,000 people, they have to be chased after and killed.

Derrank, who was preparing for the siege in the rear, quickly noticed the movement on Liszt's side, frowned suddenly, and hurriedly rode his horse to Cilita's side, and said: "My lord, these guys go up like this, and they may be annihilated by the enemy in an instant." ”

Celita nodded, but thought for a moment but didn't stop.

Although the commander-in-chief of this support army is Cilita, the more than 30,000 soldiers are actually all militia led by wizards. As a wizard lord, although Jiang Feng gave her command, it was limited to those 25,000 town militia. As for the other 5,000 new troops, they were not under her command.

Although the common sense of marching and fighting told her that the actions of these people were tantamount to suicide, she didn't know why, looking at the posture of those people methodically carrying the iron pipe in their hands on their shoulders, she faintly felt in her heart that these people might subvert her common sense.

"Do you need me to call them back? The rebels in the city are still wondering if those people are traps we have sent out. Frank frowned and said, "There's still a chance to withdraw now." ”

"Don't stop them, let them pass." Cilita said.

Derak wanted to say something, but seeing Cilita's indifferent expression, he finally swallowed the words back from his mouth.

At this time, looking at Cilita in front of her, her eyes suddenly lit up. I saw twenty-four black and thick smoothbore cannons being pushed to the front of the formation, and the artillerymen waiting next to them were feeding "fire powder" and shells into the barrels and compacting them with something like mops.

Although Celita had not seen the power of these "musketeers" with her own eyes because Jiang Feng had changed the training grounds of these militiamen to a wasteland far away from Boulder City, she had still seen the power of those twenty-four cannons.

That Thor-like power, maybe the three or four meters high wall can really be destroyed by them.

Thinking of this, Celita raised her hand and ordered Derrank.

"Let the town cavalry prepare on the flanks, and if the walls collapse, send cavalry on the opposite side to protect those artillery."

"Yes." Derak took the order and left.

In any case, it is necessary to protect the integrity of those guns.

Celita believed in the power of the cannons, but was well aware of their weakness, which was the incredibly slow reload rate.

A salvo may be enough to scare the other side, but it is impossible to defeat the defenders behind the stone wall with just one salvo.

As long as the commander on the opposite side is not stupid, he will seize the gap between the two rounds of artillery and send cavalry to rush to the artillery that has been pushed to the front. With those three columns of light infantry, trying to block the charge of the cavalry is tantamount to a fool's dream.

Not to mention that they only have an "iron rod" in their hands, even if they give each of them a six-meter-long phalanx spear, each of them has the strength of a high-level warrior, and it is impossible to do it.
