The main building of the Wang Li Non-commissioned Officer School in the Defeated Soldier City is an independent building in the shape of a five-pointed star, similar to a pentagonal building. Its functions are mainly to teach non-commissioned officers and students in training and tactics, and also include the living quarters of students and classrooms. There are five school grounds around the building, which vary in size and purpose. To the west is a dense forest covering an area of 20 hectares, which is used for training non-commissioned officers and students to fight in the forest.

To the east of the main building is another building complex, which includes a series of functional departments such as the Equipment Distribution Division, the Combat Readiness Division, and the Weapons Research and Development Division. To the south is a clock tower about 300 meters high, which can be used as a watchtower in the event of a war.

Zhou Shu and a group of his classmates followed behind Instructor Falcon and visited the buildings one by one. It was five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun had already begun to set. But before their visit was over, the Falcon instructor took them back to the school field where the tug-of-war had been contested.

Unlike before, what was waiting for them on the school ground was not non-commissioned officers and students from other classes, but a team of twenty soldiers. They were dressed in light White Moon Army uniforms, and the weapon in their hands was a spear and sword, which looked as if they had replaced Guan Dao's knife with a Western broadsword.

The Falcon instructor ordered his students to stand in the setting sun, and then gave them a military salute. The non-commissioned officers and cadets immediately stood up straight in their military posture and returned the salute to the instructor. After all, they were just freshmen, and the salute was not neat at all, which made the spear and sword soldiers in front of them snicker.

"Don't laugh, just a few of you still look down on others? ”

The Falcon instructor scolded these big-headed soldiers, and then said solemnly to the non-commissioned officers: "Now, I will teach you the first lesson, the first lesson you have come to this school. Listen to the ear less. ”

All the non-commissioned officers, including Zhou Shu, thought that today was the opening ceremony and a visit to the school, but they didn't expect to have classes.

"I know you're tired after walking around the school for so long, but before I take you back to the dormitory, I need to tell you about your duties!" Instructor Hayabusa changed his previous easy-going image and suddenly became stiff and stern. "You went to a non-commissioned officer school, not a military school. Do you know anything about the difference between the big-headed soldiers and your non-commissioned officers?"

A few of the students whispered hesitantly and replied, "Is it because we have magic?"

"That's right!" Instructor Hayabusa yelled, "the biggest difference is that you are born with magical powers! Except for luck, you are not much better than them!"

At the signal of the Falcon instructor, a spear and swordsman took out a large, crumpled animal skin from his bosom, which looked like a large carpet. The skin is similar to the magic circle used in the previous dormitory, but there are differences. The motif of this magic circle seems to be the sun and the moon, and the composition is dominated by these two celestial symbols. The moon is like a ring and a diamond in a ring compared to the sun.

The skins were unfurled and laid on the ground, and the Soldier Spear and Swordsman stood in the middle of the sun pattern of the magic circle. The Falcon instructor crouched down and placed it in the moon pattern, and then explained to the cadets: "When you graduate in two years, most of you will become squad leaders in the army." I'm going to show you now that the squad leader is most useful in battle. After speaking, the Falcon instructor channeled the magic power in his body to the magic array. The magic array emitted a dazzling white light from the sun pattern, and the spear and swordsmen stood in it as if they were used to being illuminated by this light, and closed their eyes early.

After a minute, the light faded. Instructor Hayabusa stood up and patted the dirt off his body, pointing his finger at one of the students and asking him to come out of the ranks.

The students all knew what Instructor Hayabusa was doing just now, and they were future non-commissioned officers, so how could they not even know their duties? What Instructor Hayabusa had just done was to temporarily strengthen the magic power of ordinary soldiers who had no magic power, and the strengthened soldiers could perform super attacks beyond their abilities.

The non-commissioned officer who was called out of the column moved his muscles and bones, and he knew that he should have been selected by the instructor to be an example. The specific job is nothing more than fighting these charged spears and swordsmen in front of you.

That's what Instructor Hayabusa meant, and when he was just leading the group around, he paid attention to the students in the class, and he had already made a judgment on the basic abilities of all the students. The person he called out was the highest cultivation level among all the students. "Your name is Nem, go and compare with them. Do you have a weapon?"

The man who was called pouted and pulled out a short knife from his waist. One of the spearmen and swordsmen also stood up and confronted him.

Spear and swordsmen with long weapons are very disadvantageous in this kind of battle, at least most cadets think so. Short weapons are better suited for hand-to-hand combat, let alone a guy as heavy as a GE in an opponent. But when the two actually got into each other, the non-commissioned officers and cadets found themselves thinking too simply. The spearman swung his weapon with all his might, and with a single stab, he knocked out Nem's weapon. The speed of these two attacks reminded Zhou Shu of the commander of the Black Wood Army who chased and killed him before, and was later stung into a pig's head by a wasp.

Although Nem was knocked out of his weapon, he was not a vegetarian either. He grabbed his opponent's gun with a snatch of his hand, and tried to grab his weapon first. The spear and sword soldier had no intention of giving up his weapon, and suddenly the muscles on his arm swelled and then pulled his weapon back, and he snatched it back directly from the opponent's firmly bound hand. That wasn't the end of it, as soon as the weapon was back in his hand, he stabbed the gun at Nem again with the same speed as before.

This time Nem flashed harder, and his chest was almost pierced. He was clearly frightened by his opponent's stab, and jumped away from the opponent to fight in close quarters. It's just that he didn't do it to no avail. The non-commissioned officers and cadets could see that Nem, who had no weapons, had to get close to him if he wanted to continue fighting. Extending the distance is more advantageous for soldiers who have weapons of medium range combat, such as guns and swords.

Nem also knew this, but he also knew that the reason why the other party's speed and strength were so good was because he had received the enhancement of the magic power of the Falcon Instructor. This kind of enhancement is only temporary, and usually consumes the results of the enhancement within a few moves. The opponent has already made four moves, so he only needs to flash two or three more moves at most, and he will win.

He was right. When the spear and swordsman saw the other party jump away, he immediately stabbed two shots quickly. When Nem flashed the limit, the opponent directly threw away his weapon and surrendered.

The Falcon instructor laughed and patted the soldier on the back a few times, "How is it, these little hairy heads are okay, right?"

The soldier seemed very reluctant to admit his defeat, but it was a fact, so he nodded in agreement.

The Soldier Enhancement Circle absorbs the magic of those who possess magical powers, and strengthens the soldiers standing in the sun pattern. These soldiers are strengthened and are able to perform moves that far exceed their strength. If it is a non-commissioned officer with a total amount of mana, it can be strengthened by twenty people, and all of them can use a super attack. The enhancement of the second non-commissioned officer allows them to perform twice, and so on. If the number of soldiers decreases, the number of super attacks will increase.

The spear and swordsman just now used it a total of six times, which means that the magic level of the Falcon Instructor is six.

At the end of the battle at Nem, the Falcon Instructor called out nineteen more men and the remaining soldiers to fight each other. The people who were called were the strongest of the five classes, and although Smith had never cultivated the martial arts of this world, he was among them because of his own superb strength.

The instructor judged the quality of these non-commissioned officers and students in the battle of observing them. These twenty people were already the strongest he could pick out in this class. This is not to say that the other students are all waste materials, those people who have not yet started to cultivate are like blank paper, as long as they come into contact with martial arts, they will quickly improve. However, for the war in the White Moon Country in front of him and the different voices that gradually appeared among the nobles in the country...... The Falcon instructor had a hunch that this non-commissioned officer would not be able to wait until he graduated in two years, and he would be forced to go to the battlefield before then.

Estimating that the dormitory of Class 5 under construction was almost completed, Instructor Hayabusa summoned his students back and led about 200 people to the west dormitory like a kindergarten teacher.

Building a house with a magic array is the most attractive place in this world. Now that the house has been built, the students who have witnessed part of the construction process are standing under the three-story dormitory of their house. The dormitory is not very tall, but it occupies a large enough area. At present, although the dormitory is completed as a whole, it has not been painted, and it looks a little rough when you walk in. Many of the students have had the experience of helping their families or relatives build houses, and they know the difficulties of building a house. Now seeing such a magical way of building is enough for them to go home and brag about it.

At this time, more than a dozen school workers were in and out of the dormitory under the command of an old woman wearing a 'warden' armband, carrying furniture such as beds and desks.

Instructor Hayabusa looked at the sky, it was about six o'clock in the evening. He handed the student over to the warden, touched his already rumbling belly, and went back to the teacher's dormitory cafeteria to eat.

The warden, looking at the students and attendants, nodded. She seemed to be happy with the students, and she didn't know which one she was satisfied with. The non-commissioned officers and cadets were led by the nose like cattle for a whole day, and finally ushered in the rest time.

Although the warden's head looks like a tricky old woman, she is actually very discerning. For the tired non-commissioned officers and students standing at the door of the dormitory, she just pointed out the location of the canteen on the first floor, and then asked them to disband and choose their favorite room.

At this time, the bronze bell on the school bell tower struck three times, and the freshmen did not pay attention to it, but the warden's brow was furrowed. She has worked in the school for more than 30 years and knows very well what it means for the bell tower to ring three bells, which is the bell that calls an emergency meeting of all the teachers in the school. Now that the new students have just entered the school, there is nothing worth using the bell tower to summon the teachers so solemnly. Out of the old woman's sixth sense, she, like the Falcon instructor, was a little worried about the fate of this batch of freshmen.

In the first conference room of the main building of the non-commissioned officer school, the fake princess sat down at the main seat of the conference long table under the arch of the two guards maids. Also seated at the conference table were the Vice Chancellor and the heads of the various departments within the university. The ordinary instructor stood in the conference room, facing the princess with a respectful and humble expression.

After the head of the faculty announced that everyone had arrived, the sick princess nodded and motioned for the waitress behind her to take out a box of things and put them on the table.

The faculty and staff didn't know why they were called by the first princess headmistress this time, but looking at the princess's gloomy expression, they could at least judge that there should be no good news.

The fake princess got up from her seat, held the box on the table in her hand, and then said to everyone present, "Gather everyone here today, there is bad news for everyone." ”

When the classroom heard the word bad news, their hearts tightened. There has been so much bad news lately, such as the aristocratic quarters that were bloodbathed a few days ago, where the families of the victims were making trouble and refusing to continue to fund the army. In addition, the three cities around the Defeated Soldier City suddenly announced that they would double the amount of grain and grass they were required to provide to the Defeated Soldier City every month, but they would no longer provide soldiers.

The most terrifying thing is that the forest army of the forest country has been active a lot lately, and there are even rumors that they are making siege equipment. In order to find out the truth of the situation, the city lord spent money to send a task to the Eagle Slayer Legion, asking them to make trouble for the forest army as much as possible.

Now that the first princess, who is the principal of the school, has mentioned the 'bad news' again, the teachers know that this bad luck may have fallen on their heads.

The fake princess said: "This time, our Wang Li Non-commissioned Officer School opened, and everyone must have known about the fact that there were seventeen teachers who failed to return in time, right? With that, the false princess opened the box in her hand and poured its contents on the table.

Inside the box were four badges carved with the image of the bell tower, all stained with blood. This badge is a status symbol for the teachers of the non-commissioned officer school, and every teacher has it.

"Three hours ago I was notified by the security department that they gave me this thing. This morning in the woods of Xicheng, they found four corpses, all wearing teacher badges that can be identified as our faculty members, and I have already sent someone to identify them. Their initial date of death was two days ago, but there is only one suspect target, the twelve assassins who had tried to assassinate me. Judging by their practice of not destroying corpses after killing......"

The fake princess stopped the conversation and took a deep breath. “...... I think they are provoking us. We have reason to believe...... Of the thirteen teachers who have not yet returned, it is likely that some of them have suffered the same accident. ”

When the faculty and staff heard the news, they looked at each other and thought it was incredible. At present, there are more than 40 teachers in the school, and this group of people lives in the defeated city at the forefront of the battlefield all the year round, and it can be said that they have been baptized by war and assassination. The last time a teacher was killed was more than a decade ago, and this time four were killed at once, and maybe even more. This is too unusual, you must know that every teacher has a unique skill, at least at the level of a thousand legion commanders, in fact, the same is true of the military positions they hold, and the strength of several responsible instructors is not less than twenty corps commanders. Is it such a powerful force group, and it will become the target of someone else's assassination?

The vice-principal, an old man with a gray beard, trembled his shriveled lips and asked, "What is the headmaster going to do about it?"

"I don't know for the time being. The false princess swept her gaze over all the teachers, and said her intentions: "I will send someone to investigate this matter, and if the murderer cannot be found within a month, then the murdered teachers will be buried, and the murdered teachers will be buried with etiquette commensurate with their status." Until then, their remains will be temporarily kept in the Zài Ice Vault. ”

The vice-principal was pleased with the answer, "We have a month to catch the murderers and apologize for their sins in front of the mausoleum of our dead compatriots. I just don't know...... Headmaster, who are you going to ask to do this investigation?"

The fake princess waved her hand, "It's up to you, Vice Principal, to decide." I haven't been here for a long time, and I'm not very familiar with the personnel, so it will definitely be more efficient to hand over this matter to you. I trust your judgment. ”

The vice principal nodded with a smile, and then entered the state of closing his eyes and recuperating that is unique to the elderly.

"That's the bad news. While everyone is here, as a principal, I would like to hear the views of several responsible instructors on this class of non-commissioned officers. After saying this, the fake princess took a sip of the tea brought by the maid, leaving time for discussion to the responsible instructors.

When it came to the matter of this class of students, the five responsible instructors all shook their heads. It's not that the color of the more than 1,000 non-commissioned officers in this year is too bad, they shook their heads because there are a few students with abnormal talents in their classes, but unfortunately they are all somewhat flawed and not perfect.

Instructor Falcon was the first to raise his hand and speak, "There are two sixth-level students in our class, I think everyone knows about it, right? Nem and Adam Smith. These two are extremely talented and have a good sense of combat, and they can be said to be the best of the non-commissioned officers I have ever led. It's a pity that ......" Instructor Hayabusa smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that Smith is too old, but he hasn't practiced martial arts yet." Although he has outstanding magical powers, everyone knows how difficult it is to strengthen his body with magic at his age. Fortunately, he seems to have been very systematic, scientific and efficient in the exercise of the body since he was a child, and he has not practiced martial arts, and he is also the strongest one in our class in terms of human combat, but I don't know how much this advantage can make up for the lack of age. ”

Doing something that everyone knew about this yellow-skinned foreigner, knowing that he was about thirty-five years old, it was almost the limit of martial arts cultivation. If he could enter the non-commissioned officer school ten years earlier, I am afraid that all the teachers present would jointly guarantee him to study with the White Moon Knight King, and his achievements would never be below Princess Fuhu.

"Speaking of Nem...... Instructor Hayabusa chuckled, "This guy is also very talented, but it's a pity that he came into contact with martial arts too early, and he used that kind of shoddy cultivation array. Fortunately, he doesn't seem to be diligent and hasn't cultivated his body to the limit, fortunately. ”

This kind of thing that the Hayabusa instructor said is very common in the non-commissioned officer school. The martial arts cultivation in this world requires a kind of cultivation circle refined by a magician. The cultivator stands on top of the magic circle and pours magic power into it, and the magic circle gets the magic power and transforms the cultivator's body. In addition to the cultivator's own muscles and bones and the total amount of magic that are related to the progress of cultivation, the grade of the magic array is also extremely important.

The magic array of the non-commissioned officer school can be said to be the best cultivation magic array that a martial artist can come into contact with, and no matter how strong it is, it is not nothing, but only the White Moon King's family hides one. The adopted sons and daughters of the White Moon Knight King, as well as his guards and attendants, all relied on this magic array to cultivate.

Nem is a country boy who, despite his talent, has been ruined by ignorant temple teachers. The shrine is a place where knowledge and basic martial arts are imparted at the village level, and it is only through them that the gifted children of the people are discovered, and many of them are famous. But Nem's example of being made into a mediocre teacher is also common, which makes people sigh.

Next, the Falcon instructor summarized the rest of his class in a very general way, to the effect that 'the quality is average, there are many people who fish in troubled waters and spend money to come in through the back door, and there are many people who have some talents, and they are still qualified.' ’

After Instructor Falcon finished talking about the situation of the fifth class, Instructor Tur of the second class stood up and said helplessly: "Anyway, I have something I want to ask the instructor director." ”

The head of the faculty is a capable young man, dressed in a straight uniform and with an elite demeanor. "What?

"No, no, no. Instructor Tours waved his hand, "I just wanted to ask." Why did you throw Midali the Falcon-Slayer into our class when you were assigning the non-commissioned officers and cadets to our class? In terms of background, she is a daughter of the first level of the regiment. Of course, she was a mercenary, a civilian organization. But with that in mind, you should put her in classes 4 and 5!"

Seeing that the other party wanted to ask this question, the instructor director snorted and said, "No way, I originally intended to put her in the first class, although she is not a nobleman, her influence is no worse than anyone inside." But there are too few women in this enrollment, and I am afraid that she will cause something wrong if I throw it into the pile of young masters. It is said that this girl has a strange temper, not like the usual young ladies. Since Instructor Tours asked me this, could it be that she got into trouble?"

Tur smiled awkwardly, and was really in trouble. This eldest lady hit a non-commissioned officer who pretended to fall a few hours ago, but in fact fell on her chest and ate tofu. But Midali's strength was not as good as the other party, and she was teased a few times by that person. As a result, a group of flower messengers were attracted and the non-commissioned officer was beaten to the infirmary.

But he couldn't say this, now the first princess is still there, and everyone knows that she declared that she would choose one of the brave as a partner to inherit the White Moon Country when the country was in danger. There is a precedent for this, and this is how the current White Moon Knight King became king. 'The king's candidate was jealous of a mercenary legion's leader. He couldn't say that.

Instructor Crane was particularly interested in talking about such unhappy things, and he also wanted to interject. Most of the students in her class are the second generation of officials who are difficult to serve, so there are a lot of troubles on her head. For example, the youngest son of the Wings of Light, Arni, has a good demeanor that he shows to outsiders on the surface, but this kid is a little too tender, and how can his rotten inner self escape the eyes of the Crane Instructor. He looks good when he deliberately pretends to be humble and polite, but when he is in the same place as the petty nobles who cater to him, he is immediately exposed. On the first day of school, he gathered a group of small nobles with worrying character around him. Instructor Crane can assert that sooner or later this small group will get into trouble.

Class 3 instructor Sriel also has the same troubles as Instructor Crane. The soldiers under him are all good, all of them come from the non-commissioned officer school in the military town in the northern part of the White Moon Country, and his class also has the most talented non-commissioned officer students in this class. But this is the non-commissioned officer student...... Instructor Sriel had a headache when he thought of him, that man was a complete careerist, in his early twenties, his martial arts were already comparable to the level of a thousand-person leader, and he was busy showing his strength when he first arrived at the new school to win over other students to form his own small group.

This careerist named Pavol has recently become very famous in the military and religious circles of the White Moon Country, and has caused a lot of trouble in his hometown in the north. If it weren't for the fact that the local lord saw that his talent was extremely high and unwilling to be compromised, otherwise with his character and criminal record, he would have been able to go to the gallows ten times.

Class 4 instructor Ivor is not a person who likes to join in the fun, and he feels that the more a person appears, the more he will be exposed. That's not good. He didn't have much of an opinion about the children in his class, except for a few of them who had been delayed by the village temple. If anything, it's a boy named Teemo. This kid joined the non-commissioned officer school at the age of 15, but the best age to practice martial arts is from 20, and it is barely enough at the age of eighteen. It was possible that his 15-year-old little muscles and bones would never be able to withstand the cultivation circle of the non-commissioned officer school, but the people in the admissions office still saw that the child's second-level magical talent had taken him in.

What is the difference between this kind of behavior and those country temples! Although Ivor is the weakest of the five responsible instructors, he also has the strongest sense of responsibility and justice. He had already secretly decided to open a small stove for Timo, and in the first year he only taught him combat skills and supervised him to build his muscles, and in the second year when he was 16 years old, he was asked to practice the magic circle. Although sixteen is still too early, if you do a good job, you can reduce the disadvantage by a considerable margin.

The five non-commissioned officers and cadets had already finished their dinner at this time, and all of them, under the supervision of the housemaster, donated all the remaining magic power of the day to the black core. Next, students should choose their own rooms to wash and sleep in. The rooms in the non-commissioned officer dormitory are the same as those in the language school, regardless of the number of men and women, everyone is an adult, and there is no problem in living in any way, and the dormitory is similar to a hotel in terms of architectural structure. However, it is this kind of intimacy that makes many people difficult.

Among the students, only a few chattered people chose a room that suited their hearts early. Most of the bad boys are staring at Lilia and Sister Alice, ready to strike at their nearby rooms as soon as they choose a place to live, and will not hesitate to fight with their opponents who have the same purpose for this purpose! Who wouldn't want to be the monkey fishing for the moon? Even if they fall into a well!

Zhou Shu pouted, leaned against the wall and looked at these melon babies waiting there. He just wanted to know how long the gang would last.

The current situation is very clear in Zhou Shu. Alice was interested in Smith, and she was waiting for the uncle to choose first, and then to pick the next one. The little girl Lilia decided that she had this meal ticket, she had no money in her hand, and she had to spend a lot of money if she wanted to live a quality life. So her calculations should be the same as Alice's.

Yan Xia Zhoushu deeply understood that before choosing a room by himself, a large number of people could only continue to block the corridor and not move.
