"Alright, now I announce that the Dark Templar Academy will be closing the Academy as scheduled. During this period, all enrolled students are safely repatriated back to their respective countries. Sheila gave orders to everyone present one by one, "Oswald, you are still responsible for the affairs of the Desert Empire, and the progress is up to you; Lord Hero King, you continue to keep an eye on the Holy Kingdom's side, and if there is any latest news, please be able to inform all the high-level officials in time at that time. In addition, I will keep each of you informed of any specific arrangements. Tongsheng, things over there will trouble you; Naia, you and Douglas follow me to some of the preparatory work for Project T-W, and take on the financial powers—that's it, adjourn! Without the slightest hesitation, Sheila walked straight out of the conference room.

Naia looked at Sheila's back and praised, "Oh, oops, our dean's lord is getting more and more resolute." Okay, in that case, let's not talk too much, just do your own tasks assigned by the dean—Douglas, let's go. ”

"Okay, come right on—goodbye, everyone." Douglas got up and left the conference room with Naia.

"Oh? Are you all gone? Then let's disperse - Tongsheng, let's go too. As Osveld finished speaking, the figures of him and the Hero King disappeared into thin air, as if they had never been there.

"Heh, one by one, they're all going pretty fast. It's time for me to get ready. Tongsheng stretched, walked out of the conference room last, and locked the door with his hand.

That night, the Dark Templar Academy's body maintenance depot.

It was late at night, and all the lighting equipment in the hangar was turned off, so a glimmer of light through the crack in the door of Tongsheng's personal office was very obvious in the thick darkness.

At this time, Tongsheng was extremely busy, but his eyes were bright, as if he was looking at something that could make him extremely excited. He sank himself completely into the comfortable and soft armchair, adjusting it to a lowest-effort angle, his slender fingers tapping softly on the virtual keyboard in a pleasing rhythm. On the five virtual screens, various data streams are scrolling rapidly, which is dazzling.

"Tsk, I have to say, what is left of the academy's technology library is really ...... That's a lot of great information. Hmm, this seems to be useful...... Eh, this data is also derived, right? I really don't care what that Lord Sheila's so-called T-W plan is, but I hope it doesn't conflict with my arrangement. Kirisheng muttered as he backed up the data he thought would be useful, "It's obvious that sending me there is to fight against the Divine Realm Enhancements, and that's really important—so Lord Dean, please forgive me for taking away all the other technologies that shouldn't have been taken away." After all, I'm going this time to help 'her', as the saying goes, help people to the end, send the Buddha to the west - okay, the data import is complete, pack up, and get ready to go! ”

Tong Sheng packed his luggage, carrying almost all the recorded technical materials of the Dark Sanctuary Academy, piloted a pure black mech, and hurriedly left the academy in the night.

At the same time, the Middle Kingdom Western Fortress, inside the command room.

"Jiu Ling, what do you say those guys from the Desert Empire are going to do?" As one of the Star Cup Knights, Ranmarok complained, "After pressing the troops to our forward outpost, there has been no movement at all, and it has been almost half a month now, and every day I just send multiple squads to constantly harass and attack, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?" ”

Ranmaroke was born as a war general, with a resolute and impatient temperament, and he was most unaccustomed to intrigue and intrigues. Since the Desert Empire declared war on the Middle Kingdom, there has been no big move, with his temperament, he simply led a few elite troops to directly fight the Desert Empire on the border of Chen Bing back to his hometown, and it was over, but he didn't expect Saber to send the Nine Spirit Pupil to reinforce it, and he has been holding on to the fortress. In response to several small-scale harassments of the Empire, he also held an attitude and strategy of only defending and not attacking, and did not have the slightest intention of taking the initiative, which made Ranmarok confused and annoyed.

His friend, Lancelot, who is also a member of the Knights of the Star Cup, hurriedly chimed in: "Yes, Ranmarok is right, Jiuling, you have not allowed us to fight against the enemy since you came here, saying that the enemy is doing this to lure us into attack, and then to catch us all - I admit that there is such a possibility, but we can't just hide like this all the time." ”

"Two adults, the pupil of the Nine Spirits is a fellow knight with you, and I can certainly understand what you are saying." Jiu Ling patiently explained, "But Saber and Nagisa are of the same caliber, and before I came, they both told me to delay time, not to engage the Desert Empire head-on, and to delay as long as I could." They must have a reason for saying that, right? ”

"Nagisa? Is that the kid Evans? Cut, I've been looking at him for a long time, it turned out to be a bad idea he came up with? Ranmarlot almost jumped up in anger and sneered at Nagisa, "Lancelot, what's your opinion?" If you want me to say, let's just take the troops out to fight a battle first, it's too embarrassing to hide like this. ”

Lancelot persuaded: "Ranmarlock, although I don't think Evans's kid is very pleasing to the eye, but after all, kingArthur also gave the same order, so wait a little longer." ”

"Wait? When is this all ......?"

"Drop! Drip! Drip! Before Ranmarok could finish speaking, an alarm sounded from the master radar in the command room.

"What's going on?" The three of them asked in unison.

"Sorry to interrupt!" A herald hurriedly ran in, "Report to the three adults, the Desert Empire suddenly sent six mecha squadrons to start attacking many of our forward posts, and now several forward posts are too weak to support, and they are almost about to be lost!" ”

"What?!" The pupil of the Nine Spirits was shocked, and hurriedly called up the troop diagram through the system, only to see that the troops of the Desert Empire were divided into six black arrows and launched attacks from different directions, and from time to time scattered red dots disappeared from the screen, and the disappearance of each red dot represented the loss of another mech.

"Jiu Ling, this is the consequence of your procrastination. Adjutant! Gather 6,000 troops and follow me! The angry Ranmarok shook off these words and turned around and left, mobilizing his forces.

"Jiuling, I'm going too, Ranmarok is too impulsive. I'll take six squadrons with him, too. Lancelot sighed, "Maybe with me, he can still listen to some persuasion." ”

"Alas, you can't stop it - Lancelot, you can go with you, with two knights leading the team, and the strength is more than double that of the other party, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Stay safe. Jiu Ling shook his head helplessly, indicating that he could not do anything.

"Okay." After saying that, Lancelot also set off with his adjutant to order troops.

After a few minutes, Jiu Ling suddenly felt that something was wrong: "Why do I always have a sense of foreboding?" Adjutant! ”

"In!"

"Bring up a 3D virtual map of the terrain near the forward post!"

"Yes!" The adjutant operating system displays the map on a virtual screen.

"This is the forward post, here is the ...... Well, I'll take a look...... No, there must be ghosts in there! No, if they were here, they would have been able to detect it - no, I'd have to take a look. Adjutant, you stay in charge of command and communications! I'll take my headquarters to catch up with the two Star Cup Knights! ”

"Yes, be careful." The adjutant gave a solemn and respectful military salute,

"Well, don't worry."

Jiu Ling ordered five elite squadrons and headed in the direction of the forward outpost. Now no one could have imagined that this seemingly unsuspenseful battle would cost the Middle Kingdom so much. And this battle can also be said to be a turning point in the Middle Kingdom. Because from this battle, the young generation of generals in the Middle Kingdom began to gradually emerge and step onto the forefront of the stage.

PS: Chapter 18 is also the last chapter of the first volume of the Dark Sanctuary Academy, and from the next chapter onwards, you will enter a new chapter. Many people may think that the plot unfolds too slowly, but in fact, I just want to fulfill my dreams, I don't like to dig a lot of holes and not fill them, and I don't like the popular online novels now, so I don't want to write the same as those novels, I just want to write the story I want to write. I can't guarantee that all the holes I dig in this novel will be filled without exception, but I will do my best to make sure that every hole is filled so that everyone can see the whole story in its entirety.

The second volume is called Thunder, and from this volume onwards, you will no longer study in the academy, but will slowly show your grandeur in your own country. There will be many characters in this volume who will walk on the stage of this history, showing their respective glories to a greater or lesser extent.
