Pre-war preparations

In the wide square, under the guidance of the teacher, uniformed students cast fireballs, water arrows, rock spikes, and other magic they have mastered. There were students in the square www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion who were tired and sat on the ground, and there were also students who were dissatisfied with the magic they cast and looked depressed.

The students are only apprentices to magic until they graduate, but they are very energetic.

Oscar got up and walked to the window to look out the window, the square was full of students of the college, as the head of the house, Oscar regretted that during his tenure, the college had never graduated a student who could be entrusted with a heavy responsibility. When Oscar was young, as the second son of a noble family, he was not self-motivated because he did not inherit the family business, but he lifted the maid's skirt, gambled and drank, and fought and made trouble at home.

His father was a nobleman in a remote area far away from the king, but his father had a gentle personality, and even if Oscar didn't know how to make progress, he rarely scolded him. When he was young, he didn't know how to improve, and it wasn't until he was in his twenties that his parents were obviously old, and he woke up after being reprimanded by his brother who could inherit the family business.

When he was a child, he studied magic with an old mentor, but because he was not motivated, he was often reprimanded by his mentor. After waking up in his twenties, Oscar left his father's fiefdom and traveled everywhere, traveled to many countries, increased his knowledge, and the most memorable thing was to spend a lot of gold coins to open up the relationship and be able to visit the "Imperial Academy of Magic" in the Imperial Verdoria for a short time.

Verdoria has the best academy in the continent to cultivate magicians, and he is also a first-class magician who teaches students in the academy. The entrance requirements for the academy are a large amount of gold coins, and the ability to be born into a noble family and pass the teacher's examination.

Strict requirements, the students of the academy are basically elite.

Even after many years, Oscar looked at the students in the square outside the window, and his mind could still recall the scene at the Imperial College.

Alcreo is also a "Royal Magic Academy" that cultivates magicians, but compared to the academy of the Empire, it is not as good as the Empire after all.

The teachers of the empire are the nobles of the empire, the nobles of the empire are different from other kingdoms, many of the strong people of the empire are nobles, and the nobles of Alcxiu can let them govern the fiefdom and let them lead the army to the battlefield is no problem, but their personal strength cannot be counted on.

The envy of the empire emerged in his heart, but the envy of other countries only lasted for a moment in his heart, after all, Alcxiu's founding history was not as long as the empire, and except for the invasion of Jacksa eleven years ago, Alcxiu was basically in a period of peace, and he did not continue to invade and expand after the establishment of the empire and became stronger.

After the establishment of the empire, it continued to expand, because of the influence of the brave first emperor, many nobles actively trained themselves, learned swordsmanship, learned magic, and many strong people appeared among the nobles.

The transparent windows reflected the figures of the students, and the words "Council" flashed in Kaye's mind, and after coming to the academy, he didn't know why he had a strong premonition in his heart that maybe in the war of the Empire's invasion of Alcreeu, there would be a magician of the Council who had his own scruples.

Even if the mage of the council is the weakest, he is a powerful mage with monster-level strength, and even if he is the last seat, he has the strength to destroy a town. In a war, it is not only the number of armies, terrain, command and strategy of both sides that dominates the victory of the war, but also the number of strong men on both sides, and whether the strong men on both sides are strong enough.

Alcrete's number of strong men is very disadvantaged compared to the Empire, if the Empire invades Alcrean and sends too many sorcerers from the Council at one time, then the scale of war will be greatly tilted.

Time, the strong, as long as the war is won, then in the buffer time, he can fight for Alcreeu.

In the past, I was indeed too leisurely, too leisurely for eleven years, and of course I never thought that the empire, which was not hostile to Alcreeu, would invade Alcreeu.

It is not in my own character to think about these things, but as a nobleman of the kingdom, I can't do it if I don't do anything, and as I said, I will look at the beautiful Princess Irita in the future and become a great queen who is loved by the nobles and the people.

If he could, Kaye wanted to continue his old life, running his own grocery store, going to the "seductive elves" to drink, and living a laid-back life like he used to live.

Chaotic thoughts, an uncertain future.

"President Oscar, sorry to bother you for so long. ”

"You're so polite, you're leaving?"

"There's something else to do, I'll have a drink with you next time. ”

"If you can, I really hope you can come more, you are different from Kai Yiqing, and you can't afford to wait. ”

"Headmaster, you're still in good spirits, even if you live for a few more decades, it's no problem. ”

Stroking his white beard, Oscar watched Kaye leave the dean's room with a complicated smile on his face.

It's good to be a race with a long life, and the older you get, the more envious you are!

After Kaye left the academy, he walked in the direction of the palace, because the distance was not far, and he walked to the outside of the palace.

Glancing at the two guards standing straight, he walked towards the gate of the palace.

The guards, knights, and maids who came and went in the palace were all accustomed to seeing people and scenes. Through the vestibule, through the atrium, to the throne where the king was. Between the thrones, King Phelan wore a crown on his head, dressed in fine clothes, and sat on the throne with his eyes closed, and there was no one else between the thrones except Kaye who walked in and Phelan who seemed to be asleep.

As if hearing the sound of footsteps, Phelan opened his eyes with his eyes closed.

"Dear Kay, you're here. ”

"I'm very sorry to disturb you, Your Majesty. ”

Stepping forward, Kaye fell down on one knee and saluted Phelan.

"Your Majesty, I went to the Royal Academy of Magic. ”

"It's amazing where they went. ”

"Your Majesty is sorry, but war is coming, and we have no time left, because the enemy country is Imperial Verdoria, and I reflect on the fact that my country must strengthen our military power as much as possible. ”

Ferran stroked his chin, and the retainer's words surprised him, but since the retainer said so, he must have his own considerations.

"Kay Yiqing, you continue. ”

"In the information given to me by the head of the academy, Oscar recorded that the students could try to become knights of the new Knights. ”

"A new Order?"

"Yes, Alcreeu's existing knights who defend the royal capital, the "Palace Knights" and the "Magic Knights", one is small in number, and the other is not good at the strength of the knights. ”

On the throne, Ferran awkwardly tapped the armrest of the throne with his index finger, the number of knights in the palace knights is only two hundred, and the number of knights directly under the king is indeed a little small, but because there are too few members of the royal family, he has never considered canonizing new knights.

The members of the Magic Knights are three hundred, all of whom are composed of students who have graduated from the academy, and it is true that because of the strength of the academy's teachers, the strength of the graduating students cannot be said to be strong. The strength of the knights of the Magic Knights is indeed not strong, and there is no way to do it, because after all, the strength of the nobles who serve as teachers in the academy is also limited, and it is unrealistic to expect how powerful the students they can teach.

"Your Majesty, as long as you repel the empire, if it goes well, I think the kingdom will have your own "Flying Dragon Knights". ”

"What, what?"

Phelan's voice unconsciously became louder, and he couldn't help but wonder if his young self had a hearing problem.

"Yes, I had a friendship with the patriarch of a certain Wyvern many years ago, and if it goes well, I can let him bring his own people to provide Wyverns for the kingdom as mounts for the knights. ”

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, if it was really as Kaye said, the kingdom had the Wyvern Knights, then the military strength would indeed be greatly strengthened.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to arrange for you to escort you, knowing that once the Imperial army sets foot in the royal capital, your safety must be taken seriously during the war. ”

In the event of a war between countries, it is not uncommon for rulers to spend a lot of money to hire thieves from the "Thieves' Guild" to assassinate the king of the enemy country. Once Alcrean and the empire are at war, it is uncertain whether the palace knights who protect the safety of the palace can definitely protect the safety of King Ferran, as a nobleman serving the king, as the king's retainer Kaye is not allowed to gamble on the possibility that the empire will not hire thieves to assassinate.

The empire is a powerful country, and if you hire thieves to assassinate Phelan, then you will definitely not hire thieves who are not strong.

"Kay Yiqing, you said guards?"

His loyal retainers said that they would protect and arrange guards for themselves, considering that the empire would hire thieves to assassinate them in the event of a war. Indeed, if he is assassinated by thieves during the war between the two countries, then Alcretius will be in chaos, and the empire will be able to swallow Alcreeu easily.

It's not that I haven't considered hiring thieves to assassinate the emperor of the empire, but that's just thinking, because that's just a waste of gold, and if the emperor of the empire can assassinate the emperor if a thief, it's definitely a dream.

"Filia. ”

A beautiful girl with long purple hair appeared behind Kaye.

"Your Majesty, she is the escort I arranged for you, and her strength is not weaker than that of the "Sword Saint" Albert. ”

Phelan was surprised, the beautiful girl standing between the thrones was indeed a rare beauty, but even if she was wearing armor and a sword at her waist, wouldn't it be an exaggeration to say that her strength was not as weak as that Albert, who stayed in the tavern all day and drank all day and was known as a joke of the nobility?

"Your Majesty, don't you believe it?"

I don't believe it, but I can't say it in front of a loyal retainer, it's an idiot to say it. You must know that it is not as long as you are a swordsman to be known as a sword master, it is a proof of strength, and it is also a glory.

Even if it is a well-equipped and well-trained army of 1,000 people, a strong man who can be known as a sword master can easily deal with it. Filia, a beautiful girl standing quietly, is not a strong person with such a strong strength no matter how you look at it.

"The safety of the Lone King is left to her. ”

Since the loyal retainers have already considered themselves, then they must also make a statement, and even if there is an exaggerated component, but if they can suddenly appear between the thrones, then they are also strong people with a certain strength. And if it is really comparable to Albert in strength, then even if the empire hires the strongest thief of the Thieves Guild, then it is just a waste of gold coins, you must know that there has never been a rumor on the mainland that the Thieves Guild has a powerful thief who can match the Sword Saint.

"Your Majesty, during the war, I hope that my friends can be used as the fighting force of the kingdom, and their strength is very strong. ”

"Friend, don't tell me about this kind of thing, no ignorant nobleman in the kingdom will be ignorant enough to accuse you. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust. ”

Then he said a few more things, and rejected King Phelan's offer to stay in the palace to dine with him before leaving, and Kaye left the palace.

"If you count the time, Sarah should be almost there. ”

What comes to mind is the patriarch of the demon clan, the figure of a beautiful girl. Jenina is her closest person, don't worry about her words, she will definitely come to help if the war breaks out. Gulan will not ignore the difficulties of his friends, so only Albert, who is strong and lacks motivation, is left.

"Go find Albert. ”

Facing the blowing wind, I walked in the direction of the tavern I frequented.
