In the year 795 of the Terran Bright Calendar, in the depths of winter.

The coldest time of the year in the Kingdom of Isaac.

At this time of year, the wealthy nobles of the royal city of Singaluru will light the Gathering Heat Magic Circle early, and the small families will also burn the furnace red. The streets and alleys are filled with festive atmosphere, with flaming lanterns hanging high and magical fireworks set off at night.

After this coldest season, the long-awaited New Year has arrived.

Many intelligent races in the continent of Beland celebrate the New Year on the same day, and legend has it that it was on this day that the god Arcero killed the demon god and liberated the creatures of the continent from the cold darkness.

In the northwest region, 2,000 kilometers away from the royal city, the wind whistled with snowflakes, the wind hit the face like a knife, and the cold wind wrapped the snowflakes into the neckline and was cold and biting.

In the snowstorm, Arthur wrapped his robe tightly and walked forward one foot deep and one foot shallow in the snow.

The northwest of the kingdom is already the remnant of the Orlando Mountains, which stretch for thousands of kilometers, and the terrain has changed from a rolling mountain to an endless wasteland.

Arthur stopped, looked up, and saw that the whole land was white except for the scattered, low conifers.

Arthur began to miss the warm spring time in the Magic Tower, what are Morar and Golly doing now?

After breaking up with Arnold and Golly in Eagle's Beak Village that day, Arthur embarked directly on the trip north.

According to the teaching method of the Blood Yao Academy, students will be sent to the five major field legions of the kingdom for one and a half years in the last two academic years.

His Majesty Streich famously said, "The battlefield is the best teacher, and those who survive are qualified graduates." ”

According to the normal arrangement, Arthur and his group of students should be sent to the army again in the new semester after the New Year. Harry Sr. was worried that Arthur would be in trouble when he returned to the royal city, so he arranged for Arthur to report directly to the legion after coming down from the slanting sun.

Except for old Harry, no one knew which army Arthur was sent to, and the barracks would be Arthur's best talisman.

Also no one knows where to go, Arnold and even Arthur don't know, and the two broke up under the Sunset.

"Don't go to me, you have the dark perception I left behind in you, and one day I'll come back to you. With a word, Arnold resolutely turned away, and the thin figure soon disappeared between the mountains and fields.

Golly and Moral stayed behind to clean up the battlefield, and they didn't even have time to say goodbye one by one, let alone clear the spoils of the Wind Thieves this time.

Arthur believes that with Moral, there will definitely be no less of his share.

Unbeknownst to Arthur, Golly and the others are cleaning up the battlefield only to find that the leader of the Wind Thieves, the Black Jackal, is missing.

Thinking of his friends, Arthur's body warmed up, so he lowered his head and continued walking.

The wind and snow in the sky gradually subsided, and a large forest appeared in the distance.

After walking a few more miles, four warriors with spears suddenly appeared in the snow on both sides of the road, "Stop!"

The warriors were all twenty-five or sixteen years old, dressed in khaki leather armor and covered with white hooded fur cloaks. The equipment blended into the earth when lying in the snow, and it was no wonder Arthur hadn't spotted them before.

Arthur's eyes swept around, and soon he saw that there were several soldiers lurking around, and a few flickering lights in the snow were clearly aimed at the tips of his arrows.

The quality and vigilance of the soldiers in the border areas are simply not comparable to those of the defense forces in the inland areas.

Several warriors were also looking at Arthur at the same time, this young man with a childish face dared to run here alone, and he was so bold that he dared to run here.

"What are you doing?" said a tall soldier.

A smile appeared on Arthur's face, and he casually pulled out a legion warrant, "I'm a newly sent officer, and I'm here to report to Captain Hugh. ”

The warrant is that Arthur will report to the headquarters of the Legion in Red Rock City with the dispatch card issued by the Bloodshine Academy, and then the Legion Staff will reissue the Legion Appointment Warrant.

"Come with me, I'll take you. The soldier just glanced at it but didn't answer, but when he turned around, he was muttering in a low voice, "Such a young officer, whose son ran down to gild?"

Arthur smiled disapprovingly and followed in the soldier's footsteps.

Five miles further on, I saw a military camp outside the woods.

The barracks' walls, barracks, and watchtowers are all wooden structures made of local materials, and the rough bark is all exposed. The overall size of the barracks is not large, and it can accommodate four or five hundred people.

The soldiers led Arthur outside the camp gate and handed him directly to the captain who was on guard.

The captain of the guard had carefully checked Arthur's warrant before turning around and going in to report.

After a short time, the captain of the guard came back and returned the warrant to Arthur, "The regimental commander is drinking, you can go in directly, the three rooms in the middle of the barracks are." ”

"It's too straightforward. Although Arthur had never formally touched the army, he had seen a lot of pretense as a squadron leader and first-class officer of the City Guard, and Arthur couldn't hold back a smile and walked inside.

The barracks of the regimental commander Hugg were no different from the other barracks in the barracks, and there was not even a guard standing guard in front of the door. As soon as Arthur pushed the door, a puff of heat rushed out.

The copper stove in the middle of the room was burning red, and two middle-aged men in civilian clothes were drinking around the stove.

The man on the left hand side was muscular, with a square-faced face and a short thick red beard on his chin, and because of the heat in the room, the man was half-open, revealing several long scars.

The man opposite him was thin, with thin eyebrows and long eyes, a white face, a neat robe, and a wine glass in his hand at this time, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he was already a little drunk.

"Captain Hugg, Arthur reports to you. Arthur gave a military salute to the man on his left and bowed to hand over his warrant.

"Here, if you don't figure out people, you're saluting. The robed man on the right-hand side cursed.

Arthur was embarrassed and saluted again in a different direction, "Captain Hugh." ”

Hugg didn't take the warrant, squinting his eyes and looking Arthur up and down, "I don't care if you have anything to do with it or who you offended outside, just follow me when you get here!"

Arthur smiled, "Please rest assured that Captain Hugg will do my best and never let the Captain down." ”

", don't mess with those useless ones. Hugg cursed rudely and handed his glass to Arthur, "Come, drink this wine, warm up, and I'll let the lieutenant take you to the Winter Lake station." ”

Arthur drank the wine from his glass.

When Arthur was about to turn and leave, Hugg inexplicably instructed, "Boy, be smart, don't mess with your head." ”

Throughout the whole time, Huge did not say a single word, not even asking Arthur's name.

Arthur's military career began in a blur......
