Chapter 17: Narnia
Fort Oak is small, but it's not small, and the city's roads and buildings are being renovated, and many building materials are piled up on the roadside, so the pace of movement is very slow.
By the time Arun entered Central, the heat subsided as the sun gradually sank in the west. The afterglow of the setting sun casts a glittering garment on the majestic castle and the mountains on which it stood. The mountains that traveled north became darker and more distant. Flocks of tired birds swept over Aaron's head from time to time, their powerful wings beating the air, shooting stars under the eaves, on the stone pillars, and above some large statues. Uniformly lined guards with spears patrolled the streets to maintain law and order.
According to the captain of the guard, since the Silver Fox Legion was stationed at Fort Oak, the security in the city has improved a lot, thefts and brawls have rarely occurred, and even the occasional bandit gang outside the city has disappeared.
"It seems that this legion commander has some means to govern the army and maintain peace. "Today's Aaron's sense of the concept of the country or the nation is very weak compared to the past. Therefore, when I call the high-ranking legion commander in my heart, I don't have the respect and worship I used to have.
Since that strange killing, the soul seems to be affected by some kind of force. Now he is only bent on pursuing the path of the strong, and the war between empires is a boring game in his opinion. In that killing in a blur of consciousness, he vaguely saw a person with the power of destroying the world, and he could bring up the power of destroying the world in a moment, which was called the power of the law there. Only this kind of power is what you want to pursue. Worldly power is nothing to mention at this level.
Soon, Aaron entered the Duke's mansion, which now also serves as the temporary headquarters of the Silver Fox Legion. The mansion occupies a large area, and the visual field of view is very wide. In the group of people in front of him, a person who carried a strong aura of iron and blood in his gestures immediately caught Aaron's attention.
The lines of his face are stiff, he is dressed in civilian clothes, a pair of short silver trimmed combat boots on his feet, and a silver fox badge embroidered on his stomach, and he is about fifty years old. As Aaron looked at him, he was also looking at Aaron.
This is the commander of the Silver Fox Legion?" Alun wondered secretly.
Oh, could it be that this kid cut off the heads of those middle and high-ranking warriors? No, it can't be, although his strength and temperament are a little weird, but he is only a beginner, how is it possible? Legion Commander Tony looked at Aaron suspiciously in his eyes.
"Alright, go over by yourself, the two in front are the Duke and the Legionnaire. The Captain of the Guard whispered a word of advice, and then turned to leave.
"The late Captain of the Seventh Squad under the command of Lord Jack of the Third Brigade, Aaron, report to the Duke and the Legion Commander!" Aaron shouted on one knee, chest up.
"Well, get up, Your Excellency. The Duke's voice was weak with a hint of excitement.
The invaders are still entrenched in their own territory, and the other lords are just as anxious. However, Aaron, a loyal soldier, actually corrected a few traitors, which obviously made the duke's mood a little better, and at the same time he had a good impression of the first meeting of this strange-looking soldier in front of him. Although the rotten and stinking heads were a little unrecognizable, the badge that represented their identity and power was not a piece of armor, and it was genuine.
After standing up, Aaron turned his gaze to the duke. He is of medium height, with a dark red sparse beard on his face, a very white complexion, which can even be said to be delicate, and his light yellow hair has gradually turned gray. His clothes clearly tell Arun that he is noble: a wool vest worn over a high-necked dark red top with gilded buttons, and a pair of pants made of purple fabric, with the cuffs of the trousers dozens of centimeters from the ankle.
Behind the Duke and the Legion Commander stood a group of staff and military supporters.
"Soldier, you're good. Here I would like to apologize to you first of all! At the same time, it also led to the death of your brothers and comrades-in-arms in this war. Here, on behalf of the Imperial Army, I would like to express my deepest and most sincere apologies to you and all the warriors who have died in this war!" Under his leadership, all the officers' staff behind him also made the same move in the next moment.
In this way, Alun was at a loss for a while. He didn't expect that a high-ranking official of this status would actually apologize to his own soldier. Besides, the rebellion was not caused by the late arrival of the Silver Fox Legion. He can't apologize to himself like this, is it because of his personality or does he have ulterior motives?
The Duke took a step forward at this time, and raised his arms as if full of ambition and said, "Alright, to hell with these ruined things now! Those who dare to offend the Empire, we must teach them a hard lesson next!" Paul paused, as if to catch a breath, and then said to Aaron: "Soldier, as a reward for your bravery and loyalty, you will become the Supreme Commander of the First Brigade of my Oak Legion." Before you can do that, though, you'll have to get into Master Tony's legion. You can only come back and report to me when you are promoted to a high-level warrior. ”
"That's right, soldier. The most important reason why our legion is one of the four elite legions of the empire is that we have 'Narnia', haha!" said a senior officer next to Tony proudly.
"Narnia?" Alan whispered, puzzled.
"Yes. It was a place dedicated to brutal training for high-level fighters. There are many geniuses and high-level fighters who have entered Narnia, but not many have been able to come out alive. But as long as he can come out alive, he will immediately receive the emperor's knighthood. The officer said.
Narnia? It should be a good place to be, Truck!!!
Narnia, so to speak, is a system of training, and it can also be considered as a region. Narnia is located in the vast Alps in the northern part of the empire. Although there are many famous mountains and rivers in the empire, there are only a few of the best places for warriors or mages to improve their strength. Due to the influence of the military system of the empire, each legion, whether it is the regular army directly under the central government or the private army of the major lords, relies to a large extent on its own strength to get the attention of the military department. It's not that the military department attaches importance to you, and frantically injects high-level forces and war materials into you to become an elite. The plundering system of war, the merit system, and the armed competition between the legions may be the reason why the Aragon Empire has become the most powerful armed force on the continent.
The power of the Holy See, which is as strong as the Empire of Light and the omnipresent Sect of Light, must be fearful when it comes to diplomatic issues related to Aragon.
On the mainland, whether it is a mage or a warrior, before reaching the unimaginable holy realm, the level of strength largely needs to rely on the Chaos True Yuan and his own mastery and understanding of power to break through the original level and upgrade to a higher level.
Whether it is the dark camp or the light camp, they can absorb and assimilate the true element of chaos. Because it's a neutral force that sits somewhere between black and white.
If an empire wants to be strong, and if a god wants to have many followers, then it must occupy the most areas with sufficient Chaos True Elements. Therefore, except for the four major empires, there are countless small principalities and independent towns on the mainland, and the scenes of fighting and tearing up are always staged.
When he arrives in Narnia, Aaron discovers that Nabia claims to be owned by the Silver Fox Legion, but in fact the Silver Fox Legion is composed of various independent armed forces. For many years ago, several powerful armed forces that opposed the Empire were recruited by the Empire and given the title of Independent Regiment to each armed force, meaning that you are the legitimate armed forces belonging to the government, but are not under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Military Department. In this way, by the time of the current emperor, several powerful independent regiments gradually merged into the imperial legions, but the tacit understanding of the autonomy of each armed force was still retained.
The strongest of Narnia, who is currently the leader of the Silver Fox Legion. In addition to the Silver Fox Legion, Narnia is also stationed in other powerful mercenary groups, which are attached to various armed factions within the legion, and are able to train their own personnel in Narnia and strengthen the mercenary group. It can be said that the place of Narnia is extremely dangerous, and the struggle between the various factions is cruel and bloody. In the competition for resources, it is common for those with low strength to be bombarded by high-level martial artists and mages.
With no background and a somber and unlikable feeling, Aaron was assigned to a mercenary group rather than a direct factional force. Although the strength of this mercenary group is not weak, it is only in the outside world, compared to the other forces of Narniari, it is weak.
Like other mercenary groups that are not strong in Narnia, Yew Mercenary Groups must pay tribute to the leading forces of their respective factions every year with some magical equipment, alchemy materials, and Chaos True Element Stones in order to be eligible to continue to set up training sites in Narnia. In addition, the mercenary group must also take over some tasks assigned by the Silver Fox Legion, such as combat, intelligence, etc. Of course, these are all gratuitous.
Generally, each armed force has one or two warriors or magisters in the golden realm, and dozens of existences that have entered the high-level realm. But this yew mercenary group may not have enough financial strength on its own, or it may not have a deep relationship with the real power figures of the major factions. Except for the regiment leader Patterson, who has just broken through the ninth-level high-level and entered the tenth-level golden early stage, the four core high-level leaders in the group are also only in the early stage of the high-level, and the rest of the mercenaries are generally in the junior high level. Compared to other mercenary groups or the direct forces of the Silver Fox Legion, the strength is insignificant.
The Yew Mercenary Regiment is the same as other mercenary groups, only those mercenaries who have talent or are not weak in their qualifications, and whose own strength can make breakthroughs will be sent to Narnia for training. Of course, this is also a very risky thing, and no one can say that a person with outstanding talents will die in the wilderness before he can improve his strength when he comes here, and this kind of thing is not uncommon. Therefore, each armed force will not put its new blood into Narnia.
