As the attendants left quickly, not long after, a middle-aged woman wearing a light blue dress, a beige wide-brimmed sunshade straw hat, and a thin black veil on her face walked into the study unhurriedly.

When she entered the door, the woman took off her gloves and lifted her veil, revealing a face full of amorous faces, and smiled before saying a word.

"I'm really sorry, Lord Schilling, I was not at home a few days ago, and I just saw your post today, no, I changed my clothes and came quickly. ”

With a pair of flying phoenix eyes, she turned around Wells next to her, and smiled at Schilling, "If I had known that you were coming, I wouldn't have gone anywhere, and no matter how big things were, I would have waited to meet you at the Tower of Babel." ”

The woman's voice is crisp and pleasant, and her temperament is elegant and generous. In the smile, there is naturally a kind of affinity that people like. Even if you just stand in the silent study, it is as if you are standing in the center of the ball, and it shines brightly.

"Where, madam, you're too polite," Schilling leaned over and kissed the back of the woman's hand, smiling, "Now that you're home, you just need to send someone to inform me." The contemptible people came to visit the house. How dare you come in person. ”

"Greetings," said the Earl of Wales, bowing respectfully, "my esteemed Marquise." ”

The two of them said kind words with smiles on their faces, but they were all slandered in their hearts.

"This she-fox. ”

"Slut!"

They knew that the woman in front of them was not an ordinary person. She is 43 years old and comes from a prominent family in the south. At the age of eighteen she married a powerful marquis, and at the age of thirty she was widowed and inherited all the family fortunes of her father and husband.

Originally, people thought that it would be difficult for a woman to support such a huge family business. Either you lose, or you cheapen a certain man.

Surviving in the jungle of the nobility is not an easy task. It's a world that belongs to men, and the role of women is just dancing at the ball and chirping on the living room couch. Beside the man, the bird is gentle and moaning in the bed.

Whether it's heart, skill, perseverance, courage or intrigues, they are no match for men. They don't know anything other than fainting quickly when they see blood and the shadow of a sword.

But Mrs. Joyce was an exception. Not only is she no worse than a man in everything, but she also has a beautiful face that fascinates men when they see her. She knows her strengths and uses them to the fullest.

Thirteen years. This woman named Ruth. Using her combination of rigidity and softness and ruthlessness, she not only managed the two family businesses well, but also expanded them vigorously. By now, he is already the most intriguable figure among the southern aristocracy.

If it is said. When Archduke Adolphus was there, it was not Mrs. Joyce's turn to call the shots in this city, so now, no one could ignore this woman's voice. Whether it's Schilling representing the Golden Dragon Family, or General Fano who stays behind.

On financial resources. She alone provided one-third of the food and military expenses of the present garrison of the city of Muni, and in terms of troops, the army at her and her friends' disposal was one-half of the total strength in Fano's hands today. The status is very important.

Schilling knew that Mrs. Joyce's claim of not being at home was an excuse. She's always been there, and she's never even been out of the house. It's just that before that, I didn't have enough weight to let this woman who is very good at judging the situation meet.

And as time passed, as the situation on the front deteriorated and the strength he showed in the city of Muni. Mrs. Joyce, who had been observing for a long time, had apparently analyzed the shape and made a judgment.

So, here she came. And it came just in time.

At this time, she is the most important weight on the Lulian scale. She knows when she can sell for a good price.

After a while of greetings, the three of them spoke. Take a seat on the sofa.

"I don't know what Lord Schilling's plans are for Lulian this time," Lady Joyce smirked, "if it's a sightseeing trip." I'm a good guide. Hunting on horseback, I'm no worse than you men. ”

"Of course. Schilling smiled, "I have heard that the lady does not let the eyebrows, and the archery skills are especially unique, I have admired it for a long time, and I have never had the opportunity to see it." If you have the opportunity, you must see it. It's a pity now."

"What?" said Mrs. Joyce, taking a sip of her coffee.

"The current situation in Lulian is just that there is no place for Madame and I to gallop to our heart's content. Schilling looked at Mrs. Joyce and said word by word.

The conversation unfolded quickly, and Wells watched from the sidelines, nose and nose, and did not move.

"Lord Schilling is too worried," said Mrs. Joyce, chuckling, "Lulian may not be big, but there are still places to hunt. If Lord Schilling has time, he might as well go to my hunting grounds. ”

"I don't know if the hunting ground Madame is talking about, is it Wangshan City or Qiao Mountain City?" Schilling smiled, looking very interested.

The Marquise of Joyce had two domains, one was the city of Lookout, north of Loulian, with one county and two counties, which her father had bequeathed to her.

The other is the town of Johnson, one hundred and twenty kilometers southeast of the city of Muni, which is her husband's hereditary domain. The area is more extensive, with two counties and five counties under its jurisdiction. The total population is over 200,000. It is the famous granary of Loulian.

Of these two territories, Wangshan City is relatively safe at present, and Qiaoshan City is located on the only way for the Ferrets to go north. It is the main transportation artery of the city of Muni and the major territories in the eastern part of the province. It's only a matter of time before they are attacked.

By mentioning these two places, Schilling is pointing out Mrs. Joyce's current situation.

Mrs. Joyce lowered her eyelashes and smiled, "Of course I will obey the wishes of the guests, and Lord Schilling will go wherever he likes." ”

"Wangshan City, I can still play for a month or two now," Xi Lin said, "As for Qiaoshan City...... I don't know what you think, madam, I don't dare to go anyway. ”

"Oh?" said Mrs. Joyce, "Lord Schilling thinks that we Lurians can't hold our territory?"

"No, no," said Schilling, "Madame misunderstood. For Madame's strength, neither I nor the Langris family have any contempt. We have full confidence that Madame is capable of defending her territory. But ........."

He graciously poured Mrs. Joyce coffee and said, "War is not something that can be controlled by one person. Don't be afraid of how powerful the Firetes are. I was afraid that some people would not be able to see clearly, so they attacked rashly and gave the enemy a chance. ”

The room was silent for a moment, except for the sound of the coffee pot in Schilling's hand pouring into the cup and wisps of heat.

A smile on Mrs. Joyce's face. Slowly disappeared.

Just as Schilling and Wells expected. She had known about Schilling's arrival. Not only that, but in fact, she already knew more detailed information from her friends in the imperial capital from the time Schilling's empty demon ship had not yet entered the airspace of Saint Solan.

As a top nobleman of Lulian. Her territory is here, her wealth is here, her roots are here. and Grand Duke Adolf can be described as both glory and loss. Plus the Lulian is traditionally a royal line, therefore. She didn't have much affection for the Lanrees who came to stir up the situation.

However, the situation is different now.

The battle situation on the front line is becoming more and more difficult to be optimistic. The main force of the Grand Duke Adolf's army had been completely surrounded by the Phillips army, and seven days had passed, and there was no news at all. Not even a single letter falcon flew back.

The Red Leaf Knights and the Twelfth Legion on both wings, after losing contact with the Chinese army, could only barely maintain a stalemate situation.

If it were all there was to it, Mrs. Joyce would still be able to sit still. It is entirely possible to wait for news from Grand Duke Adolf before making a decision.

But today, she got the news. None of the scout teams sent to the direction of Wanshan County, where the Grand Duke was attacked, did not return.

The last news they came from was that the bodies of countless Solan soldiers had been found around the battlefield. In the mountains and forests. Beside the road, in the fields......... There are traces of tragic battles all the way. Now, the area around Wanshan County has been completely controlled by the Fei Lie army. Along the way, they encountered several patrols of the Fredericks. The further south you go, the harder it is to avoid it.

Since then, the scout teams have never heard back. It's like they're walking into a huge black hole. Disappeared without a trace.

Although she had never been on the battlefield, the Marquise de Joyce, who had several senior military advisers, knew the war no worse than any other soldier. She knew that it was the result of the Fillie's strong obscuration of battlefield information. The end of these scout squads, without exception, was killed by the Falcon Fire.

It can be seen that even if the Grand Duke Adolf is still alive, the possibility of breaking through with his own strength is already very small.

Lurien could lose anyone, but not their leader.

Therefore, in recent days, General Fano has begun to make preparations for the rescue of his troops. The newly recruited recruits stepped up their training, the soldiers of the Rabble who signed up for the camp were given weapons and equipment as soon as they entered the barracks, the officers spent their days arguing in the barracks over the maps, and large quantities of supplies and noble forces were concentrated in the city of Muni from all places.

It was definitely not a wise decision for Mrs. Joyce. You must know that their forces are already stretched, and the situation of the new defeat on the front line is unknown, and the generals in the rear should concentrate all their efforts to stabilize the defense line and hold on to the city of Muni.

If you rush rashly, you are likely to fall headlong into the trap set by the Philip Empire. When the time comes, Grand Duke Adolf can't be saved, and he has to take the whole Lulian to accompany the funeral!

Mrs. Joyce understands this, and Fano understands it even more. However, as a friend who grew up with Adolf and his most loyal subordinate, he had no choice but to listen to the opinions of others.

That's why the Marquis de Joyce chose to come here. She needs to find a way out before all of Lulian falls into the abyss.

In less than five sentences after meeting, Schilling had already pointed out the problems she was currently facing, obviously, this Lanris had been watching from the sidelines for a long time, and knew all about the current situation and the contradictions in Lulian.

After a careful glance at Schilling, Mrs. Joyce's expression relaxed. Since Schilling understands everything, it means that he has a solution. In that case, the next step is just to bargain.

When it comes to fighting, she won't, but when it comes to bargaining, she's not afraid of anyone.

"The coffee is so good," Mrs. Joyce bowed gracefully, "thank you." ”

"Banan brought it. Each one is more expensive than gold. can get the favor of the lady, and it is worth the price. Schilling smiled slightly and put down the coffee pot, "I don't know, under the current situation, what are Madame's plans?"

"What can I do as a woman?" said Mrs. Joyce, wiggling her silk fan and glancing at Schilling with a smile. "Sir, you've always been resourceful, don't you help with some ideas?"

"There's not much I can do about Lulian's situation," Schilling calmly lit a cigar. By the time Mrs. Joyce's gaze became a little strange. Only then did he say slowly, "However, for Madame, the Lanris family is willing to lend a hand. ”

The fan in Mrs. Joyce's hand stopped. Quietly looking at Schilling, his eyes flickering.

"You might as well open the skylight and speak brightly," said Schilling, "Madame should know that my young master." Promoted to Paladin a month ago. ”

"Of course I know that," said Mrs. Joyce, heartily, "Lord Augustus is very talented. At the age of twenty-two, he was promoted to a paladin, which was unprecedented. ”

"That lady should also know that next August will be the period of the imperial capital," Schilling said proudly, "The final winner is none other than me, Lanris." ”

Mrs. Joyce nodded.

The intention of the Lanrith people. The whole of Saint-Soran knows it.

And according to the current situation, there is almost no suspense that Augustus will win the princess. By August of next year, it will be time for the Lanrithians to take over Solan and the dust will settle. Even if Edward can sit on the throne for a few years, he will not be able to change the general trend after all.

Schilling's words. Although it is a bit rude to the Solan people, it is a fact that no one can deny.

If you want to blame, you can only blame the royal family of Solan Ding Buwang, and only blame Princess Ellecia's fiancé for being too thin. Died too early. Gave the Lanrees that chance.

"I don't want to hide anything for the family," Schilling said. "Everyone has ambitions, and if they can't realize their ambitions, it depends on everyone's strength. Lanrith has never denied ambition because we have the strength."

As he spoke, he stood up, paced two steps, faced Mrs. Joyce, and said slowly, "Madame, you are a smart person, you should understand that the current Solan is a broken ship. No matter which side you're on, there's nothing good of it.

Although Donald has ambitions, Solan will only get worse if he falls into his hands. And madam, you are a Lulian nobleman, and it is impossible to be trusted by him.

As for Edward's Majesty, it is also difficult to protect himself now. His power came from the royal family in the early stage of the war, which was more eye-catching than Donald. But now that the Dragon Gate has been lost, Lu Lian has been defeated, the life and death of the Grand Duke are uncertain, and the form has taken a sharp turn for the worse."

Speaking of this, Schilling smiled: "In such a situation, who else can Madame count on?"

Mrs. Joyce smiled coquettishly, "Lord Schilling, of course." ”

Schilling said calmly: "Lulian has fallen, and Madame's territory will naturally not be spared. However, as long as you are willing to be friends with the Lanrith family, the family can guarantee that no matter how much you lose now, you will gain more in the future. ”

"Future?" said Mrs. Joyce, shaking her silk fan.

"Madame," Schilling said, "the Lanrith family will not remain on the sidelines forever. The influence of the family in the Pompeii Empire, Madame also understands. If you want to send troops, 100,000 Pompeii iron horsemen can go south at any time"

The corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, "The only difference is that the purpose of this army is different." ”

Mrs. Joyce's and Wells' pupils shrank, and their hearts fluttered.

Although the Pompeii Empire has remained inactive since the outbreak of the war, no one will ignore this huge and ferocious beast. No one would be naïve enough to think that the Pompeii Empire would sit idly by and let the Philae take the fat in front of them.

The only reason why they did not send troops was because of the forcible suppression of the Duchy of Lanris. It's because there is also an imperial capital competition covenant!

As Schilling said, the Lanrees were extremely influential in the Pompeii Empire. Even the Emperor of Pompeii has to look at the face of Archduke Nishizawa of Lanris. With their strength, 100,000 iron horsemen will immediately go south, not bragging!

At what point they really go, the only thing they need to think about is the purpose of sending troops. To put it bluntly, it is whether to be a knight who supports justice or a robber who burns and loots.

If the Duchy of Lanris can get the support and attachment of the Solan nobles, they will have the patience to follow the original plan, win the knight competition, and use the name of the Solan royal family to control the Solan Empire without risking it. That's exactly what the people of Lanris have always done.

At that time, they would send troops and appear as knights to help the Solan Empire defend against foreign enemies. That's the same as protecting your own turf.

But once they are not attached to the nobles of St. Solan and lose patience, then they will appear as robbers, and even join the Philets. Tear St. Solan raw together and swallow it.

And for Solan nobles like the Marquise of Joyce and the Earl of Wells, it didn't matter what they were. It was important that they understood where they were and the ambitions and abilities of the Langrith family.

The situation in Lulian has reached a critical juncture. Maybe in the next second, there will be unbearable news from the south.

In case Adolf is defeated and killed. In case of a collapse of the front. The nobles who were rooted in this land, including Mrs. Joyce and Wells, one counted as one, and none of them could escape.

Like the nobles of the South who lost their territories. No matter how rich they used to be, now they are just a bunch of panicked refugees in the city of Muni!

Schilling can't guarantee that now, the Lanrith family can't stop the Ferrets. But they can guarantee the future. You can promise to lose now and get more in the future!

In this flood of war, this is a life-saving ship.

Now aboard. Exactly the chance.

After a long silence, Mrs. Joyce chuckled and said, "I don't know what Lord Schilling needs me to do?"

With a satisfied smile on his face, Schilling sat down.

"I know, ma'am, you don't want to send troops to the rescue of Archduke Adolf. You don't have enough troops, and it's too dangerous to attack. Schilling said, "The family's request. It's just to let you, Madame, preserve your strength, and the longer the time drags on, the better. ”

The Marquise of Joyce took a sip of her coffee, thoughtful.

This requirement, in fact, is not a requirement. She herself had thought the same thing. Only, her own. It's just an idea. And when the words came out of Schilling's mouth, they were not ideas, but a knife.

The knife that put Adolf to death!

"I'm fine here," Mrs. Joyce's eyes were half-closed. It took a long time to make up his mind and asked. "However, Lord Schilling, you must know that our strength cannot compete with the Mooney City Guard. If General Fano forcibly sends troops, I am afraid that no one will be able to stop him. ”

It's the truth. The nobles' personal armies may be able to compete with the Mooney Guards in terms of numbers. However, as far as the knights are concerned, they are far inferior.

Under the command of Lady Joyce, there were only two knights of glory and a dozen knights of justice, and even fewer other nobles. Once a conflict breaks out, the noble army will not be able to suppress the high-end force.

"Madame, don't worry," Schilling puffed out a puff of smoke and sneered, "Don't forget, behind your back, it's our Lanrith family!"

There are many more people in the military camp south of Muni City than in the past.

The nobles who came from all over the country led their own soldiers, either training on the playground or reporting under the scribe's pergola.

Some of the aristocratic armies looked regular, well-armoured, and well-organized. Some appeared to be little more than improvised organized peasants, many dressed in cloth clothes, barefoot, and armed with rudimentary homemade weapons.

In addition to the nobles' private soldiers, there were also many mercenaries and freelancers who joined the rabble.

They looked tougher than the soldiers of the ordinary aristocratic arm, but they were also more unruly. Since their arrival, the number of fights in the barracks has increased considerably.

To this end, the Mooney City Guard added patrols and military judges. Squadrons of non-stop patrols. Look at everyone with a strict and cold look.

Because the situation on the front line is critical, whether it is offensive or defensive, it is already imminent. Therefore, as soon as each recruit entered the barracks, he was immediately led away by the veterans of the Muni City Guard, and he was enlisted in the army to strengthen his training in a race against time.

The entire barracks' 20 large and small playgrounds have all been filled with training teams. Under the scorching sun, there was a roar and dust.

The Mooney City Guard is the backbone of the current army.

Of the three armies under the command of Grand Duke Adolf, they are the only ones that do not need to operate to make money. On weekdays, in addition to training, they are only responsible for local security, border patrols, and bandit suppression in Lurian.

In terms of organizational nature, they can be called an army in the strict sense of the word than the Bavarian Knights and the Coastal Mercenary Regiment.

After the news of the defeat of the Grand Duke Adolf, the guards were in full swing under the orders of Fano. The work of defending the city was handed over in large numbers to the private soldiers of the nobility and the rabble. Everyone is ready to strike.

In the tent of the Chinese army, Fano stared at the huge sheepskin map, his brows tightly locked.

On the map, a large red circle is marked on Wanshan County. Two red arrows representing the Fried. One left and one right, the whole area is surrounded by water.

Judging from the information of the scouts, it was the Second Army of the Philip Border Army. The total number of people is unknown. It is known that there is also a Golden Order of Knights, as well as the Snow Wolf Knights, who have been active in the south since the beginning of the war.

Besides. in both wings. There were also two armies of Ferray, parallel to the center, approaching north in a trident. The Momiji Knights and the Twelfth Legion were forced tightly by these two armies. The two sides fought fiercely in an area of several hundred square kilometers. You come and go.

After Adolf's accident, the Red Leaf Knights and the Twelfth Legion once longed to get closer to Wanshan County, but they were all held back. They also sent troops to try to break through the blockade of the Firean army and rescue Adolf. But all of them were in vain.

What's even more worrying is that with the fall of Adolf's central army, the Red Leaf Knights and the Twelfth Legion have been separated and cannot maintain a complete defensive line. Strategically, they are now in an extremely precarious position.

Once the Ferray Empire had cleared the obstacles in the path of the central or flank advances, and seized control of several counties adjacent to the Late Mountains, they could concentrate their forces on attacking one of the Red Leaves and the Twelve Legions.

In that case, the defense line would collapse completely.

Therefore. In recent days, the Red Leaf Knights and the Twelfth Legion have already put forward the idea of taking the initiative to retreat. Without the support of the Chinese army of the Grand Duke Adolf, the two armies could only retreat to the front line of the city of Midin in order to get rid of the possibility of being attacked on their backs.

But. As soon as they left, Archduke Adolf was really hopeless.

Looking at Wanshan County, Fano slammed his fist on the map and straightened up. Walk away with your hands in a hurry. It took several circles back and forth before he calmed down. Stop.

The mission of the Muni City Guard is to defend Muni City. As the capital of Lulian and the economic center of the country, the city of Muni was also the most important military location in the southern part of the empire. Not only is there a lot of transportation, but there are also several grain-producing areas, and it is a cornucopia of places in the barren and bitter cold land of salvation.

One city of Muni is equivalent to the grain production of two or three provinces of the Philip Empire. How could Peter I not blush?

And after taking this place, even if the southern army of Feilie has gained a firm foothold, it will no longer worry about being driven into the sea. Relying on this, they can echo with the Duke Benson's headquarters in the east, and sweep the entire southern part of the empire.

Fano understood the importance of Muni City very well, and also understood that after the fall of Wanshan County, the enemy could completely bypass the line of Midin City from the east and go straight to the city. However, without the Archduke Adolf, the city of Muni could not be defended either!

Although none of the scouts sent out returned, Fano was convinced that the Grand Duke was still alive.

The Grand Duke's Chinese army numbered more than 20,000 people. Although they were attacked by a sneak attack, more than a quarter of them were killed in battle, and countless people were scattered. But the Grand Duke has the elite of the Bavarian Knights and the Coastal Mercenary Regiment by his side. If you want to rely on a sneak attack to annihilate the power of the eldest princess, it is too whimsical.

And the more important basis to support this idea is that there is a small town called Camel Pass at the junction of Wanshan County and Qingshui County in the southwest of the Grand Duke's residence at that time!

This town, Fano once went with Archduke Adolf, and knew a lot about it.

It belongs to the fiefdom of Sophia's mother's family, and it is rich in a fungus plant called cow's milk mushroom, which is used to bake snails, and it is the most delicious. Coupled with the beautiful mountains and rivers and the cool climate, it has always been a favorite summer resort for the Grand Duke.

If he was not mistaken, the Grand Duke would have gone there and stood for reinforcements by taking advantage of the dense terrain that was surrounded by mountains and forests, which was not suitable for large-scale cavalry combat.

Fano didn't know what the situation of Grand Duke Adolf was now, but he knew that even if it was his most optimistic estimate, there was not much time left for him.

He groaned, tapped his fingers on the table covered with the map, picked up his horsewhip, turned and strode out of the tent.

"Prepare the horses and go to the three major training camps!"

Castle of the E brigade.

On the dusty training ground, there was no sound except the roar of teaching, the sound of footsteps running back and forth, and the sound of swords clashing.

While the trainees are training, they will always involuntarily look at Roy.

For several days in a row, Kevin came to the south gate of the academy on time to challenge. This has become a sight to behold in the city of Munich. People from the north and south gathered around the square and talked about it. So that every student who comes in and out can't hold their heads up.

Now, everyone consciously avoids the South Gate when entering and leaving the campus. They would rather take a long detour than face the contemptuous sneers of the Lanris and the pointing of the people. That made them feel ashamed and embarrassed.

Because of this incident, the atmosphere inside the academy has also become a little delicate.

The aristocratic students, who were low-key and silent some time ago, have recently gathered together in twos and threes. As the civilian cadets passed by them. There will always be some mocking voices.

"Look, our heroic civilian knights, how energetic they are when they are in infighting, how can they be cowardly when they meet someone more powerful than themselves?"

"It's ridiculous. Think of the way they used to defend their dignity, and then look at the present. What a contrast. ”

"We've already moved to another training camp like Siwalker. lest they should be brought to this reproach now. ”

"If you dare to cause trouble, you must dare to take responsibility. was bullied to the door and didn't dare to fight, what kind of man is he. I used to think if we were going too far, hey. Now it seems that they are born to be cheap!"

In the face of these cold words, the civilian cadets could only remain silent.

Not long ago, Roy's battle at the Grand Duke's Ball made all the oppressors of the aristocratic cadets raise their eyebrows. This is since they joined the bootcamp. For the first time, I truly experienced the dignity of being a knight.

Since that day, the culture of the college has changed. Those who followed the noble cadets were treated with contempt. When there is a conflict or dispute with the noble students, everyone can also straighten their backs and argue with reason.

They no longer tremble and walk on thin ice, they no longer dare to swallow their anger and dare not speak, they enjoy the increasingly equal, free, and relaxed air of the academy. Whenever he mentioned the struggle between Roy and the noble cadets, he was full of admiration.

Not everyone has the courage of Roy. If it weren't for Roy, they might have had to wait a long time. to wait until this day comes.

But no one expected that in just half a month, the person who brought them this qiē would personally cut off this qiē.

This is unacceptable to every civilian cadet. They didn't believe that Roy was a coward, that he didn't even have the courage to fight. But Roy flatly refused to play in the reality. But their justification is so pale.

In addition to the children of the aristocracy, the teachings of the Diarra line have recently become active. Diarra may still be self-reliant, keeping silent, while Farley and some of them teach. But he has already lashed out in public several times.

"This is the greatest shame since the establishment of the first training camp!

"I'm not targeting anyone. It's about this! We're all watching, we're going to see how long he's going to hide!"

"A knight is not a personal martial artist, but glory, a spirit, and a virtue. A person who does not dare to face even challenges and insults is not qualified to be a knight. No matter how many people defend him and excuse him, facts are facts!"

"If he doesn't fight, if he turns a deaf ear to the insults we have suffered, we will never tolerate such a person staying in the training camp. No matter who he is, no matter how gifted he is, we will never send a name of despicable character into the knight's hall. That's a blasphemy against the name of the knight!"

As the matter fermented, the verbal and written criticism of Roy was also very loud. At the instigation of some well-intentioned people, the academy was overwhelmed with accusations against Roy. There is a big knock to the ground and a few more kicks.

But what is incomprehensible is that whether it is persuasion or abuse, whether it is a friend or someone else, Roy ignores it all. Stubborn as a stone. Whoever asks is two words and one sentence.

"Don't go!"

What is especially incomprehensible is that not only Roy is like this, but the instructors of Team E and the dean Gustas are also a casual attitude. It seems that Roy does not accept the challenge, it is a matter of course, and it seems that Kevin humiliated it, and it is not the first training camp at all.

It is their unprincipled partiality that has built a solid protective wall around Roy, so that Roy, who is on the cusp of the storm, can turn a deaf ear to anyone's words and live his life like no one else.

The cadets were peeking at Roy, while on the castle walls, more than a dozen instructors from different brigades were watching the changing battle formations of the cadets.

Tomorrow, it's time for the Academy's Internal Challenge.

In times of war, the significance of this challenge is also very different.

According to the rules announced by the academy a few days ago, the winners of this challenge will not only get excellent training resources such as Tower of Fantasy points, funds, training equipment and elixirs, but also get better weapons and equipment than other brigades.

These weapons and equipment were prepared by the Solan royal family and the Grand Duke of Lulian for the three major training camps decades ago. In order to one day when war comes, this new force can be armed and put into battle.

The trainees of the three major training camps are all valuable assets of the Empire, so the equipment created for them is much better than the standard equipment of ordinary knights. And every year there is a special person to carefully maintain. The slightest rust damage will be repaired and replaced in time.

These equipment, the students of previous years have only heard of it, but have never seen it, and they have always stayed in the arsenal of the Grand Duke Adolf. And this time, General Fano sent the equipment as soon as he got the news of the defeat of Grand Duke Adolf.

In the face of the coming brutal war, a good set of weapons and equipment has extremely practical significance for any student.

This batch of equipment is divided into two types: elite level and ordinary level, among which the elite level weapons and equipment are still mixed with magic copper. Not to mention the shy civilian students in their pockets, even the aristocratic students are also greedy.

Originally, elite-level equipment and ordinary-level equipment were distributed to each team in proportion.

On the battlefield, a brigade is an independent combat unit. According to the proportional distribution, it can ensure that the outstanding students of each brigade have the opportunity to get a part of the elite-level equipment, so as to form the core combat effectiveness of the brigade.

This is the foundation of an army, the skeleton. The two armies are at war, and as long as the core combat team does not collapse, the army cannot collapse.

In order to turn these young rookies in the training camp into a real army, the instructors of each team must complete the cultivation of battle formations and basic marching and fighting knowledge before going to the battlefield, and select elites to form a core team.

This shows the importance of those elite-level weapons and equipment.

However, during the academy meeting, Diarra and Farley and others strongly included the allocation of equipment in the challenge. According to the rules they set, the elite-level equipment will be divided among the top three teams.

This move not only made Team E angry, but also the instructors of Brigade D and Brigade, who had always kept a low profile and remained neutral, were also unbearable.

Idiots know what Farley is up to.

Farley didn't hide it. Especially after Roy turned down Kevin's challenge, he was even more poignant.

"Only the best knights deserve the best equipment. Only they can reflect the value of equipment. These things aren't for garbage!"

I heard that in order to challenge the competition, Farley carefully selected ten of the best students to form the strongest freshman team in the history of the Muni City Branch. In several secret tests, Team A, as a sparring team, was defeated.

Except for the Academy of Magic, the other brigades no longer expect to compete with the S team for the first place. That doesn't mean there aren't challengers for the S-Brigade, though.

This challenger is not recognized, but selected by the S brigade itself.

Their spearhead was only aimed at one opponent.

That's Roy's E-Brigade!.
