Chapter 40: Torture

When there were bursts of galloping horses' hooves from the middle army camp and the front camp, the shouts of the officers and the sound of the soldiers training in full swing, the rear camp was also in a hurry.

However, unlike the majestic and enthusiastic atmosphere of the front and middle battalions, the sky above the rear battalion seemed to be shrouded in a layer of dark clouds, and the atmosphere was dull. Whether it is the soldiers on patrol or the people who are working, they are all quiet and listless. From afar, it looks like a group of ghosts.

Roy stood on the playground.

Around him were more than 90 freshmen of the same grade, more than 70 second-year students and more than 60 third-year students. The total number is two hundred and twenty-seven. Without exception, all of them were cadets of the E Brigade of the 1st Training Camp.

The sun has pierced through the thin clouds on the horizon.

More than 200 students, against the backdrop of the chaotic people and soldiers running around them, were like wooden stakes nailed to the spot, and under the sunlight, they obliquely pulled out a series of immovable shadows.

They have been standing here since four o'clock, when they were told to get up.

For four prayers, no one paid any attention to them. The guards who had knocked them out of bed, lined them up, left a "wait" and went back to the barracks to sleep. They were accompanied by only the dawning sky and the surprise, pity, or curiosity of the people who got up to work.

For them, who were trained by Kameni's devil every morning in the academy, such a quiet wait was nothing. But because it is meaningless, everyone feels extremely breathless.

No one understands what the Guardians guys are trying to do. Since entering the camp, they have not received a good face. Especially the officers of the escort team, one by one, they are evil. It seems that receiving more than 200 students is a nuisance trouble for them.

And under the influence of their indifferent attitude, those when everyone first entered the camp. The soldiers, who seemed to be very enthusiastic and chatting and laughing with everyone, also stayed away from them with interest.

Stepping into the barracks with great ambition, they were met with such a cold reception and blow, and everyone's hearts were a little cold. Between the reality of barracks life and their romantic fantasies. It forms a cruel gap. Any ambition to make a contribution, now that I think about it, it seems like a joke.

"Fuck," Giles said in a low voice as he stood beside Roy, gritting his teeth, "If I had known this, I might as well go to the rabble!"

"yes," one student said indignantly. "Why do you want to send us to the back camp? If you want to go into battle to kill the enemy, we won't lose to others. ”

"These bastards," Giles said hatefully, turning his head to look at the officer's barracks, "I don't know how we offended them, but when we meet, our noses are not noses and eyes are not eyes, and we are torturous in different ways." Until now, Griffin hasn't been released. ”

Roy drooped his head. Listened, did not speak. In the eyes of people passing by. This confused-faced kid is no different from the stunned rookies next to him.

However, compared to the rookies next to him, Roy knows the rules of the army better. When a recruit enters the camp, he is scolded or even beaten, which is nothing. The hierarchy between officers of all ranks and ranks of soldiers was even greater than that between the nobility and their subjects.

and flesh-and-blood sieges. Compared with orders such as the interception of cavalry in front of the spears and the reconnaissance of deep behind enemy lines, waiting for a few prayers here is not even torture. At best, it's just a joke.

However. This is also what he can't understand the most.

From the assignment to the battalion, to the attitude of these escort officers in the rear battalion, there is an abnormal aura, and there seems to be some kind of power behind the back against the first training camp E brigade!

Otherwise, the officers of the escort team, who were drawn from the private soldiers of the lords from all over the world, had never even seen the cadets in person on weekdays, how could there be any contradictions, so that even the knight cadets of the three major training camps of everyone, the identity of the future imperial forces, were not taken into account?

Because he had just entered the barracks, he couldn't even name the officers, and Roy was just thinking about this kind of thing, not expecting to find an answer. If you think about it, you don't want to. In those few prayer hours just now, he spent most of his time cultivating in secret.

Anyway, at four o'clock on weekdays, he was also picked up by the two ruthless goods of the sword spirit and the axe spirit. Standing here for four prayers is just enough to complete two meditations and dozens of Sundays. Compared with the penance that is two bubbles of tears on weekdays, this is no different from being lazy and taking a vacation.

It's just a pity that there is no Tower of Fantasy here, and the efficiency is greatly reduced.

However, it was not Roy who was most depressed about this.

Although Roy cultivated faster in the Tower of Fantasy, his speed was not much slower when he left the Tower of Fantasy. After all, no matter how strong his spiritual power is, his current absorption capacity is limited. Unlike the bottomless pit of the Adjudicator Spirit, who left the Tower of Fantasy, Roy could feel this guy's dissatisfaction every day.

Some time ago, the cultivation in the room of the Dark Camp Tower of Fantasy had made the main spirit domain opened up by the main spirit more and more expanded and stable. According to the Sword Spirit and the Axe Spirit, after a period of time, the Adjudicator Spirit will be able to obtain enough energy to evolve again. Running out of food at this juncture, it's no wonder it loses its temper.

Roy is actually looking forward to the evolution of the ruling.

According to Austin, this key to unlock the final battlefield seal has the ability to open up space. In the last evolution, the ruling opened a passage to the other end of the Broken Sky Mountain Range, so this evolution, where can it open?

A treasure trove full of treasures?

Or is it the boudoir of a beautiful young lady who is naturally charming and passionate?

Standing in the middle of the line, Roy wandered into the sky and thought wildly.

At that moment, only a trumpet was heard. Hundreds of soldiers, out of the barracks, rushed to the playground to assemble in formation. After waiting for a few more minutes, I saw a group of officers in the distance who had finished breakfast, surrounded by their respective guards, leisurely and laughing.

When they walked up to the cadets, none of them looked at each other. Just chatting while piercing armor and swords in the service of soldiers. After everyone was fully dressed, one of them glanced at this side coldly and said, "Stand still neat." ”

The other officers also glanced at them with cold faces. The joy of laughing just now was swept away from their faces.

"Stand up to the name. The officer who had spoken before unfolded a parchment and shouted, "First Squadron, First Squad, Totti, Franklin." Fontos"

With his name, one by one the students walked out of the queue. Each time a batch was called, the officer would stop for a moment. Waiting for the officer next to him to step forward and lead them away, then began to call the next batch. In less than a quarter of an hour, more than two hundred students had been dispersed and assigned to different escort teams in batches.

Which squad each person is assigned to is determined beforehand. However, the previous two days were for registration. Today is the official entry into the team.

Roy was assigned to the New Seven. In the same team, there were thirty people in total. Twenty lord's private soldiers, ten cadets. In addition to himself, he knew Griffin, Julie, Meng Meng, and the rest were six cadets from the second and third years respectively.

And what Roy didn't expect was their captain. It was the low-level non-commissioned officer he met at the gate of the rear camp yesterday!

"My name is Hope, and from today. It's your captain. In the corner of the training ground, Hope hugged his arms and smiled evilly, "Remember my name." If you can't remember it now, it doesn't matter, it won't be long. I promise you won't even dream of it!"

"When you enter the barracks, you have to understand the rules of the barracks. ”

"What are the rules? My words are the rules!"

"Whether it's training or work, even if it's sleeping, you have to listen to Lao Tzu! Whatever you ask you to do, you have to do it for me honestly. Don't think about who you used to be. Over here. Your status is the lowest soldier, forget this, I will ......"

Amid Hope's roar, the cadets fell silent. No one knew Hope, and no one understood why this guy was so visibly hostile when they met.

Yes, it's hostility. Violent and cold, it makes people uncomfortable. It is completely different from the severity of expectations and concerns of the teachings of Kameni and Hazen.

"What," Hope walked slowly past the indifferent young faces, and finally stood in front of Roy, released two battle rings, stared into his eyes, and said, "Is there anyone who is not convinced by what I said?"

Four-star brave knight!

The hearts of the students present were sinking. No one expected that this guy with a full face would have such strength.

Roy drooped his eyelids, avoiding Hope's defiant gaze.

He has seen a lot of this kind of person.

When he was in Borabel City, the chief knight Buck and his nephew Andrew were just that. When he wandered the continent with his grandfather, the slave traders, bandits, gangster thugs and low-level knights under the command of a certain lord were also this virtue.

In the growth experience and mind of such people, there is never such a word as being kind and restrained. They only grovel to those who are in high power, and those who are weaker than themselves are wantonly bullied.

With more power than others, they kill people and set fires, and do all kinds of evil. Not to mention the confrontation in front of the person, even if the barmaid was a little slower when serving wine, they could swing a fist the size of a sand bowl and beat a woman beyond recognition.

And this type of people usually have a strong desire for power. Even in the slums, in prisons, living like mud, they will coerce some weak people to serve them and be triumphant.

Roy didn't want to have any direct conflict with Hope for the time being.

Although judging from the fluctuations of Hope's fighting aura and his wolf-like gaze that stared at his vital points intentionally or unintentionally, the other party obviously had good strength and rich combat experience, which was enough to suppress the trainees of the E Brigade who were generally only armed with one or two stars.

Still, that didn't scare Roy.

With his current strength alone, he was fully confident that he would be able to compete head-on with any knight below the level of justice. What's more, in his body, there are two major protectors, the sword spirit and the axe spirit. There are also the Firewing Soul Eater Armor in the uniform, the Ghost Knife Chain in the Space Ring, and the high-level magic scroll given by Williams.

If he wanted to, he could smash the brave knight in front of him to slag at any time!

The reason why he didn't want to clash with Hope was because, when Hope stopped in front of him and looked him in the eyes, he suddenly realized the root cause of the treatment that Team E was so treated. Maybe it's because of yourself!

As soon as this thought flashed through my mind, many things suddenly had explanations.

Abbot Gustas once said that the attitude of the nobles towards the rescue of Archduke Adolf was not consistent.

At one point, Roy doubted the veracity of the news.

As a subject of the Duchy of Loulian, co-ruler of the land. The noble lords and their monarch, Grand Duke Adolf, were both in glory and loss. If there is anything wrong with Grand Duke Adolf, there is not the slightest benefit for these nobles.

And more importantly, even if someone has the intention of giving up the Grand Duke and protecting his life, he is afraid that he will not dare to announce it. You know, this is a felony of betraying the lord. Once someone denounces it, it will immediately be a catastrophe of raiding the family and exterminating the clan.

Therefore. Either way, it's impossible.

However, Roy now suddenly realizes that he has forgotten about a man and the forces behind him. If they were to be placed at this moment in Lulian, no matter how bizarre things were, they would become logical.

The Lanrith Family!

Schilling!

Although they came because of themselves, how could they, who happened to be at the meeting, let go of such a great opportunity to fall for Archduke Adolf so lightly?

Roy's brain teaser turns.

Almost instantaneously. He's already figured it out.

He was almost certain that the information Gustas had received was true. And. The disagreement between the aristocracy was no longer just lip service. The Lanrith family has been involved, gathering many people with their promises, wooing, and irresistible influence.

For some aristocrats, this was an option that did not require hesitation.

From the point of view of the future. On one side is the powerful Lanris family, and on the other side is the unprotected Archduke Adolf. From a practical point of view, on the one hand, it is to give up the rescue and preserve its strength, and on the other hand, it is to accumulate the manpower and material resources accumulated by its many years of operation. Throw yourself into a gamble with little chance of winning and fight for others.

It is not difficult to get an answer to the question of which is better or worse than the other. Especially with the support of the Lanris family behind them, the aristocrats are even more courageous!

In this way, it can explain why only the first training camp E team was assigned to the back camp, and why this guy named Hope stopped in front of him with no bad intentions in his eyes.

These people were aristocratic private soldiers. On weekdays, I don't know each other with my students, and there is no contradiction. If there was no one behind them to speak, they didn't have the courage or need to do it.

And as to who asked their master to put his hand into the barracks, does it need to be asked?

Roy's mind was smart, and in a short period of time, he had already guessed a lot from a seemingly unrelated matter.

Looking at the hideous Hope, Roy cursed in his heart.

"Idiot!"

If the truth is really as you guessed, this guy is a cannon fodder!

Because he received an order from a certain big man, and he was gearing up to deal with himself, I was afraid that he would not know that in other people's chess games, he was just a small chess piece.

Of course, Roy doesn't take such a guy lightly.

There are some things that the big people can't do, only this kind of people can do. No matter how big the layout, the final action will also fall on these executors.

In some cases, they are more difficult to tangle.

Thinking of this, the expression on Roy's face became more and more honest and honest, and his eyes did not make contact with Hope at all. Instead of struggling with such a guy, it is better to find a way to find out who is behind him.

Seeing that this kid was avoiding his gaze, the corners of Hope's mouth hooked up a sneer.

He didn't know who this kid was, and he didn't understand why he was naming and dealing with this kid. Anyway, if it falls into his own hands, count him unlucky!

"Take them to work," he explained to his subordinates behind him, and turned to Roy, "You, come with me." ”

"Can't help it?"

Roy thought to himself as he followed Hope across the playground to a warehouse where goods were being unloaded.

This is one of the twelve granaries in the rear camp. The rectangular building is 36 meters long, 20 meters wide and 12 meters high. In front of the open gate, hundreds of people, like busy ants, carried goods around sixteen heavy carriages full of grain bags.

As soon as they saw Hope coming, the people quickly dodged out of a passageway. A storekeeper in charge of guarding and counting led a few big men to run over diligently.

"Your job today is to unload the cargo. Hope hugged his arms and whispered a few words in the ear of the storey.

The library manager understood. Said to Roy: "Come here!"

I saw him leading Roy to a carriage. The people who were originally unloading found that the atmosphere was not right, and they all dispersed. A few people standing on the high carriage were still a little stunned, and they were immediately driven down by the two warehouse guards who climbed into the carriage.

"Stand still. Catch it!"

The two guards in the carriage roared, struggled to lift a bag of grain weighing hundreds of kilograms, and threw it at Roy with a flick of his hand.

This time, the onlookers on the side were startled, and they couldn't help but exclaim.

Everyone knows Hope and knows that this guy is brutal and vicious by nature. I like to bully people the most. Therefore, when he came with the black-haired boy, he knew that the boy was going to be unlucky.

In the post-camp work, the heaviest and most arduous is this kind of carrying work, and all of the people who can be sent here are healthy and sturdy men, and all of them have the strength of their arms. But even them. After a trip to work, I was so tired that I couldn't straighten my waist. Not to mention this thin teenager.

However, although he knew that the boy was going to be unlucky, the big guy still didn't expect that Hope's hands were so black.

A bag of grain weighs a full 100 kilograms. When everyone was working, they were carried by the two people above. Slowly put it down. The two of them worked together left and right, and then put them on the back of the person who was bowing down.

But the two guards actually threw the grain bags from a height of more than two meters and replaced them with themselves. I'm afraid that I will be smashed to the ground a long time ago. Even if the bones are broken, there is nothing unusual.

It's a human life!

"Smack!"

The exclamation came to an abrupt end. Everyone was shocked to find that the grain bag smashed on the young man's back, and the young man's body didn't even move. A pair of legs that are not thick, and they are stable. It was as if it was not a hundred kilograms of grain that fell on the back, but a bag of fluttering cotton.

Not only were the people shocked, but even the treasury manager was stupid.

Hundreds of kilograms of grain bags, the force of this volley smashed down, more than two or three times. But that young man, he actually caught it so easily?

The storekeeper turned to look at Hope. Hope blushed and gave him a look.

The warehouse manager waved his hand, and the two guards on the car flashed with fierce light in their eyes, lifted the grain bag, and pretended to shout: "Come, catch it!"

Two more muffled sounds. Two large bags fell from the carriage and landed on the first bread bag that the boy was carrying.

The people on the side turned white when they saw it, gritted their teeth one by one, and were filled with righteous indignation. The young man was already carrying a bag of grain, and these two bags were smashed down one after another without any intervals, and when added together, it was at least a thousand catties of strength. Even if it is a cow, it will be smashed to death if it is smashed like this!

It's murder!

When the third bag of grain fell, Roy felt like a mountain on his body, and all his musculoskeletal body was overwhelmed by this terrifying pressure. Seeing that his feet were soft, the demon core in his lower abdomen accelerated suddenly, and the vigorous fighting qi came out of his body.

The two battle rings exploded, supporting both legs.

"It's the Brave Knight!"

"So young!"

The people were in an uproar. No one would have thought that such a young boy would already have the strength of a brave knight! How could such a young man be sent to the rear camp to do such work?

In the midst of the chaotic discussion, Roy staggered his bag and walked into the warehouse.

Damn it!

Looking at Roy's back, Hope's face turned pale. He didn't expect that the news he got that this kid was armed with strength, but at this moment he became a brave knight. The three hundred kilogram sack of grain, though heavy, was nothing to a brave knight with two battle rings.

"Let him finish all the work here alone!"

Hope gave the storekeeper a stupid explanation, and left with a frown.

To torture this kid, you have to think of another trick...... (To be continued......)
