Central Military Academy.

This is a military academy located in the capital of the empire, the full name is called the Imperial Central Military Academy, the military academy has three branches of the army, the air force, and the navy, and there is also an institution known as the Jialan Continent, and the Imperial Military Research Institute is also located in it.

Thereinto.

The Army Branch consists of the Elite Section, the Professional Command Section, the Mage Operations Section, the Army Aviation Section, the Army Logistics Section, and the Army Reconnaissance and Intelligence Section...... There are more than 10 disciplines, each of which provides different types of middle-level officers for the Army.

The letter of recommendation given by Foster is for the Elite Section.

The elite subject is the most valuable discipline among all disciplines, because if you want to enter the elite subject, you must either have a strong force or an extraordinary mind, and this "powerful" and "outstanding" represents a kind of extreme.

As long as you enter the elite section, even if you apply for a post in the Central Army after graduation, the chance of passing will be as high as 60 percent, and there is no need to mention other group armies, and there is almost no precedent for rejection.

Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, and that is to successfully graduate.

Regardless of whether it is an elite subject or another subject, if you fail to pass the graduation examination, you will be delayed for one year, and if you still cannot pass the graduation examination after one year, you will be sent back to the original unit and will not be able to serve as an officer at or above the deputy regimental level for life.

According to statistics, the annual graduation rate of the Central Military Academy is 73%.

Vega sat by the river in the middle of nowhere, looking at the military academy briefing brought out of Kareni City, while nibbling on the dry rations of the march, today was the third day he had left Kareni.

Putting down the military school profile, Vega picked up the map.

The city he was going to next was Balkan City, a small city in the northern part of the empire.

The city is not manned by a regular army, but there is about a regiment of law enforcement brigades, and the highest administrative body is the Balkan government, which is supervised by the Balkan Public Prosecutor's Office and the Balkan Civil Court.

In the plan made by Vega.

He needs to travel through the Balkan town, and then go to the nearest city to the central part of the empire to take a civilian magic airship to the imperial capital, otherwise it is almost impossible to get to the imperial capital on two legs.

Filled with wine and food, Vega continued on his way.

At the speed of two legs, it will take less than three days to reach Balkan City, and it will naturally be faster if you can set up a carriage, but alas, yesterday his carriage was already "killed".

It's literal.

While staying in a medium-sized city, the war airship of the Kingdom Army suddenly carried out a magic bombardment, and the carriage he purchased was directly killed under the first round of bombardment, so he was relatively close to the city gate, otherwise he would have collided with the Kingdom's airborne troops.

Three days went by in a flash.

Vega came to the vicinity of the Balkan city, and from a distance, this city lived up to the word 'small', the size of the city was estimated to be only one-thirtieth of the size of Kaleni, and the total population that could accommodate it should not exceed 300,000 people.

Come to the city gate.

Vega found a long queue at the gates, and many yellow-skinned, ragged civilians seemed to want to enter the city, but were turned away by the law enforcement brigade defending the city, and those who were entangled were even violently opposed.

"Please, please, let us in. ”

"My child is sick and will die if he continues to sleep in the wild. ”

"The Kingdom Army has destroyed our city, and we have nowhere to go. ”

“......”

Through the fragmentary sounds, Vega probably knew the specific situation, probably the nearby medium-sized city was attacked by the royal army, and even carried out massacres and plunder, and these refugees had to flee the city and wanted to take refuge in the small town.

And small cities are not the target of the Kingdom Army's attack for the time being.

"I'm sorry, but you're not civilians in Balkan City, so you can't enter it. ”

After checking the documents of the civilians, the law enforcement team guarding the city said: "The city lord has ordered that in order to prevent the infiltration of the king's espionage organization, this city will not accept civilians other than those registered in Balkan City to enter the city. ”

"My lord, we're really not spies, my child will die if he doesn't get treatment!"

A woman held her 3-year-old child in her arms and knelt on the ground crying bitterly, but the law enforcement team did not react at all, and even kicked the woman away brutally.

The civilians were furious.

Seeing this, Vega also had pity in his heart, and with his ability, it was easy to save the lives of his mother and son, but he would never help, as for why?

First, he's not a hypocritical partner in justice, and second......

"What are you doing? ”

At this moment, a young girl dressed in a lolita costume is accompanied by a butler who picks up a woman holding a child and glares angrily at the law enforcement officers. A hint of helplessness flashed in Vega's eyes, and the righteous partner still appeared.

"As a member of the law enforcement team, isn't it your job to protect the interests of civilians?"

The woman asked aloud, "Please give me a reason why you treat them this way, why you restrict them from entering the city." ”

The law enforcement officer rubbed his forehead in pain: "Miss Qi Lisi, this is an order from the city lord, if you have mercy, you can recruit her into your caravan, so of course I will not prevent her from entering the city." ”

"You!"

Chillis blushed, but she couldn't interfere in the politics of Balkan City.

She is just a novice businessman, and this time in order to complete the family's business trial, she deliberately brought the precious coffee, wine, porcelain, and silk of the imperial capital...... Going to trade in a medium-sized city in the north, who knew that war suddenly broke out, she had no choice but to return the way she came.

What to do?

She looked at the woman, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Grandpa Faulk, let's recruit her into the caravan." ”

The housekeeper Falk was very embarrassed on his face, and he absolutely disagreed, but when he saw the girl's innocent face, he finally said: "Miss, I know, the kitchen is understaffed, so let her work in the kitchen first." ”

"Thank you, Miss, thank you, my lord. ”

The women thanked them again and again and said that they would do a good job.

Qi Lisi smiled: "You're welcome, you will be a member of the Rodney caravan in the future, my name is Qi Lisi Rodney, and he is the butler Falk Rodney." ”

"Thank you, Miss Grace, and thank you, Master Butler. Again, the woman thanked her.

Qi Lisi smiled and nodded, and then said to the law enforcement team, "So she can enter the city, right?"

"Of course. ”

The law enforcement officer made a gesture of request: "But including your caravan, you can only stay for a month at most, and after a month you must leave Balkan City, of course, you can also apply to the city administration for an extension." ”

"Of course I do. ”

Chillis snorted, turned her head and was about to tell the butler Faulk to take the caravan into the city, but saw Vega, a refugee in tattered clothes in the crowd.

There is no way around it.

Not long ago, I experienced the magic bombardment of the Kingdom Army, and walked in the field for a few days and nights, and it was natural that I was covered in mud. However, it was not a big deal for Vega himself, as he was used to military life.

But the pampered Habitat doesn't think so.

In her opinion, the 12-year-old Vega is completely a child who has been homeless because of the war, and if she doesn't pull it at this time, then Vega, who can't enter the city, will definitely die in the wild.

Such a cruel thing must not be allowed to happen.

At this moment, Habitat thought of a stray dog that had died a few years ago.

She walked up to Vega, did not dislike his muddy body in the slightest, touched Vega's head affectionately and said, "Do you want to enter the city too?" ”

“......”

Vega was speechless, did he really seem so pitiful, and had become the pitiful object of such a righteous partner's pity, and from any point of view, he could not have had any common language with such a selfless man.

"Thank you, but I'm going to the imperial capital. ”

Vega politely replied that he didn't want to be associated with such a person.

"Imperial Capital?"

Qi Lisi smiled and said: "Do you want to go to the imperial capital to find your relatives?" But the ticket price of the magic airship is not affordable by ordinary people, and it only takes off once every half a month, so it is still two to say whether there are extra tickets during this kind of war." However, our caravan is also about to return to the Imperial Capital, so you can follow us to the Imperial Capital by commercial airship docked in Lops City. ”

After making up a lot of her own brain, she felt more and more pity for Vega.

In her mind, she even imagined that Vega could not see her relatives because she could not afford a ferry ticket and missed the civilian airship, and then lived a miserable life as a street child.

I didn't know the other party's fantasies, but when I heard this, Vega's eyes still lit up.

Whether it is a war airship or a civilian airship, it is a classification of magic airships, which need 1-2 wind magicians to drive, so civilian airships generally only have one flight every half a month, and the tickets are expensive.

Of course, all of this income goes to the government.

In addition to these two types of airships, the Imperial Super Chamber of Commerce also has its own airships.

The super-large chamber of commerce often recruits magicians to serve them at several times the price, but the empire stipulates that the chamber of commerce cannot sell tickets for commercial airships privately, because the imperial commerce department is afraid that the chamber of commerce will endanger the empire's civilian airship business.

Therefore, Vega was also afraid that he would not be able to buy a ticket.

After all, it was a time of war, and it was possible that some of the wealthier nobles and merchants would flee to other parts of the empire.

"Please, I'll pay you all the way. ”

Vega finally decided to take a ride with the Rodney Chamber of Commerce, although the Central Military Academy did not stipulate a time to report, and even took this letter of recommendation to report two years later, but Vega wanted to graduate early.

"Poof. ”

Qi Lisi smiled happily, and she touched Vega's messy head again kindly: "It's really a little adult, so you don't have to pay for it......"

He was only halfway there.

Qi Lisi suddenly felt that she had an obligation to teach Vega that there is no such thing as unearned in the world, so she immediately changed her words: "Although I don't need your compensation, you have to work hard for the Rodney Chamber of Commerce along the way." ”

"I see, my name is Vega Ka......"

"Vega Ka?"

Vega shook his head, then said again, "My name is Vega, and I don't have a surname. ”

"What a cute name, you can just call me Sister Lisi. ”

Qi Lisi turned to the butler Falk and stuck out her tongue and said, "Grandpa Faulk, I'm sorry, I'm making my own decisions again." ”

Falk shook his head and said it was okay, then glanced at the spell-casting medium on Vega's neck and said, "Maybe this is the most successful business you've ever done, Miss, if the elder sees it, he will be very happy." ”

Qi Lisi's eyes revealed incomprehension.

But Falk didn't mean to continue, but walked towards the caravan in the distance: "Miss, I'll go and tidy up the caravan and get them ready to enter the city." ”

"Vega, let's go into the city. ”

Taking Viga's hand on her own initiative, Habitat led Vega towards the city.

But as soon as she took two steps, she was surrounded by refugees.

"Miss, please take me, I have strength. ”

"This young lady has already taken in the two of them, you must be the one who is not inferior to me. ”

"Yes, yes, we all have the strength to work hard for you. ”

“......”

A large crowd surrounded Chillis and Vega to prevent them from leaving, including many powerful men.

"Sorry, sorry. ”

Qi Lisi held Vega's hand tightly and refused: "I'm sorry, I can't help so many people with my ability, but the two of them are in a special situation, and if they don't get help, they may die." ”

"Miss, are you saying we're not miserable enough?"

One of the men, about two meters tall, said condescendingly: "This young lady, why only help them and not help us? If we can't enter the city, we will probably freeze to death outside the city." ”

"yes, yes, we might die too. ”

“......”

"Calm down, everyone, I'm ......"

Before Qi Lisi could answer, one after another questions were asked, and the content was nothing more than that Qi Lisi couldn't be eccentric, since she helped the two, then take them on the road together, and a few of the more strong civilians were already clearly threatening.

Habitat grabbed Vega's hand harder and harder.

It just so happened that the butler Falk went to the distance to tidy up the convoy again, and she couldn't catch up for a while, and now she was nervous and scared to the extreme, she never thought that things would develop like this, obviously she was out of good intentions, why did so many people target her?

Let's go

Tears fell from her delicate cheeks, and the questioning around her had scared her to the extreme.

Seeing this, Vega sighed.

The so-called human nature is unconventional, unreasonable, and illogical.

In Vega's eyes, the truly kind person is not the kind-hearted girl in front of him, but the law enforcement team who turned the woman and all the refugees away, and the city lord who issued a ban on refugees to enter the city.

It does seem cruel, leaving a woman and child alive and dead in the wild.

But if you think about it from another angle, if all the refugees are allowed to enter the city, then more refugees will flock to the city, and the end result will be the collapse of the small city, whether it is refugees or indigenous people, everyone will end up together.

That's why Vega stood by from beginning to end.

But now it seems that he has to take action, after all, he has to take a ride on others, and if this situation continues, it cannot be ruled out that Qi Lisi will be forced to abandon him due to pressure and fear.

Why?

Qi Lisi, who had been holding his hand tightly, had already begun to become loose, after all, a little girl of about 17 years old had endured what a thousand people were referring to.
