Chapter 40 Emergency Conscription Order

It was only after Gnagh's description that Horst knew. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoA year ago, the Imperial Capital Colosseum needed to be renovated for some reason, and at that time, the Summoning Mage Guild sent dozens of summoning mages to participate in some of the work. And at that time, it was the time when the research method of yellow explosive trinitrotoluene was announced, of course, not to the public, but to the internal members of the summoning mage's guild.

A cloud of suspicion rose in the hearts of Horst and Gna, and at the same time, several of their summoned beasts also found some traces, all of which resembled yellow crystals. Moreover, the location of the yellow crystals is also the place where there are large piles of load-bearing pillar stones.

"In this way, when the Summoning Mage Guild participated in the renovation of the Imperial Capital Colosseum, someone did something to this place. "At that time, they hid trinitrotoluene in the load-bearing pillars on the roof of the Imperial Capital's Colosseum, waited for the opportunity, and then created an explosion and assassinated some members of the royal family. ”

As the largest mage arena in the Shenyang Empire, the Imperial Capital Arena often hosts some national-level events, such as the Summoning Mage Competition, which was scheduled to start this morning.

However, the royals who attended the national events in the past were either not of sufficient rank or were inconsequential personnel, but Princess Alice, who presided over the opening ceremony this time, was extremely heavy. Because of this, this is not a coincidence, it is an action that has been planned for a long time and waited for the right time.

"After the summoning mage guild participated in the renovation of the Imperial Capital Arena, some of them left the Shenyang Empire because of some things, if I guessed correctly, it could be one of them. Again, "But what are they for?"

"The incident was created, Princess Alice was assassinated, and the person who attacked it was a space mage, and he kept saying that he was the Clark Empire, so that the Shenyang Empire had a reason to declare war on the Clark Empire. Horst thought about it for a moment, and this logical relationship seemed a little strange.

All the countries in the entire Demon Heaven Continent knew that the Clark Empire had great ambitions to annex the Shenyang Empire, but several wars were in vain. Moreover, due to the injustice of the war, the Clark Empire has been increasingly excluded on the Demon Heaven Continent, and at the same time, the diplomacy between many countries and the Clark Empire is in a cold state.

According to Horst's thinking, if he is the emperor of the Clark Empire and wants the war to be just, then the easiest way is to let the opposing side be the first to declare war on his side, and let the other side be the first to attack. Then, once the Shenyang Empire launches an attack on the Clark Empire and takes the lead in declaring war, as the side of the Clark Empire, there will be enough reason to wage war with the Shenyang Empire, or even annex the Shenyang Empire.

Thinking of this, Horst's face became extremely ugly, and so did Gna.

"It seems that the Clark Empire has planned to kill Princess Alice in order to make the annexation war justifiable. ”

"In other countries, it doesn't matter who killed Princess Alice, a small person is not enough to attract their attention, and politics is always relative. Those countries will only focus on which side will be the first to declare war, so as to define the war. ”

"Call it a day, go back, you have to report to the Mage Guild quickly, I'm afraid that the plotters have escaped from the Shenyang Empire, and it is difficult to catch it. ”

The Summoner Guild is an elite organization of summoning mages, and it will not intervene in wars between countries, and even those who create such shocks have no way to do it. Because, the summoner union belongs to the middle force, and its members can serve any country and go to war, but it will definitely not be in the name of the summoner union, but in the name of individuals.

After retrieving the Summoner's Guild Medal from the martial law guards, Horst returns to the Summoner's Guild with Gnar, where they must report what they find to the rest of the Guild, and what happens beyond their reach.

Along the way, Gnor explains to Horst some of the usefulness of summoning beasts, as well as how to feed Horst's spirit pets, something that Horst had not previously learned at the academy.

"Here, this is your magic stone, the task is perfectly accomplished. Gnar handed a small bag of Magic Stones to Horst, who could feel that there were definitely more than ten Magic Stones inside.

"The reward of Qingyun Mission Tower has additional information rewards, that is, when we check for explosives, we bring back more valuable information than the explosives themselves, so we have additional rewards for the tasks of Qingyun Mission Tower. "Of course, I took a small part, after all, you need the Magorite more than I do. Feed the Shadow Butterfly well, and in the future, your main spirit pet will probably be it. ”

"Thank you, seniors. Horst thanked him, and Gna waved his hand to signal that he should not be so polite, and the two of them went their separate ways.

Horst looked at the streets that were already under martial law, knowing that the situation in the Shenyang Empire was going to become tense recently.

Back at the Academy, since Dennis had already left for the Dark Holy See on the Orc Continent, there were actually only three people left in the dormitory. However, Sattar entered the Middle Academy, Tucker was studying part-time at the Elemental Mage's Academy, and Horst was the only one in the dormitory.

It wasn't until evening that Sattar and Tucker returned.

"Master Aite has returned to the Academy, and today's meeting is really unpleasant, saying that it is for us to prepare those of us who have reached the age of sixteen, and the Empire will issue an emergency conscription order recently. Sattar told Horst what he knew, "It seems that they didn't catch the Assassin of the space system, and it is said that they have chased it to the northern border." ”

"Emergency conscription order?" Horst was a little puzzled when he heard this, but then he thought of something, "Imperial law states that His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire has the power to issue an emergency conscription order in the event of a state of emergency, especially in the event of a state of war. ”

"It seems that we are not far from the time to go to the battlefield, although we have not yet reached the conditions for official military service, but the provisions of the emergency conscription order are that young citizens with the nationality of the Shenyang Empire, whether they are mages or civilians, as long as they are over sixteen years old, must join the army. "Tucker has some knowledge of the military service system of the Shenyang Empire.

"So it seems that all the students of our First Mage Academy will participate in this war at that time?"

"That's right. ”

The three of them talked for a while, and as the night deepened, several of them fell asleep one after another.

The next day, there was a light rain in the sky, and it seemed to signal that something was about to happen.

The House of Commons issued a notice to call all students over the age of 16 to assemble in the playground. This is the lower house above the branch college, not a separate branch college.

Despite the rain, no one complained.

Many students gathered on the playground of the Summoning Mage Academy, and Horst glanced at the mysterious woods, as if thinking about something.

This world is familiar to him with the many chemical elements that have settled in his mind, and he can use his mana to manipulate the chemical elements, and express them in summoning or elemental magic. Unfamiliarly, the world seems to be hiding many secrets, one of which is the one in the northwest corner of the playground. Although Horst had been curious and had come to the woods in the dead of night to observe the opportunity, he had never entered because of the school rules.

The drizzling rain made the playground more or less waterlogged.

"What the hell is it? Asking us to brave the rain to come to the playground?"

"So many people, will there be a stampede?"

"Look, isn't it the dean of the lower house standing on the stage? he rarely shows up, and although it is a rainy day today, it is worth seeing the dean of the lower house. ”

"The dean heard that it is very mysterious, he has the strength of not an ordinary mage, and I heard that he once fought with the imperial army before, and single-handedly destroyed a division of the Clark Empire with powerful elemental magic. Since then, he has been hated by the Clark Empire, and has constantly sent assassins to assassinate him. ”

"However, those Assassins were ineffective. Either defeated by the dean, or skillfully dodged by the dean. ”

An old man with an old face on the platform attracted the attention of many people, and Horst also noticed him.

The students of the Elemental Mage Academy, because they can use elemental magic, hydrogen and oxygen combine to generate water, so for them, it is no longer easy to manipulate rain.

Of course, on the playground, there are also teachers from the Elemental Mage Academy, who use powerful means to change the trajectory of the rain, so that the people in the entire playground will not be caught by the rain, although there is some water on the playground.

"Horst, you have to get ready!" At the entrance to the playground, Horst met Master Ait, and he told him very seriously, "The emergency conscription order will be issued later, and you may go to the front." ”

Horst noticed that Master Ait's eyes were a little red and swollen, and his face was a little haggard, and he knew how hard it was to chase down the spatial assassins yesterday. But at the same time, Horst also saw that he was worried about the students in front of him.

What the battlefield was, Horst knew all too well. It is a place of nine deaths and a lifetime, and everyone who returns from the battlefield has the experience of life and death. On the battlefield, you can't say that you have been on the battlefield without experiencing life and death.

Among these people in the lower courtyard of the First Mage Academy, although they are much stronger than ordinary soldiers, it does not mean that the other party does not have a similar existence. No one knows if he will die on the battlefield. Including Horst himself, he couldn't be sure. This is an unknown, and all that is in front of everyone is to enjoy every minute of the present, not to waste it.

At least, what Horst thought in his heart, how could the eldest husband be a horse leather shroud and die on the battlefield, how could he be greedy for wealth?

Among the many students, Horst saw Mo Xunyun, and it was obvious that Mo Xunyun seemed to be a little excited about the war.

"Imperial Emergency Conscription Order: On the occasion of this critical death, His Majesty the Emperor of the Shenyang Empire and Generalissimo of the Imperial Army issued an order that all men over the age of sixteen in the country must be incorporated into the army, and all women over the age of sixteen should participate in logistics work in accordance with the law. The old man's voice reached everyone's ears, but it was extraordinarily powerful.
