Chapter 64: The Situation of the Army
"Do you want me to join the Imperial Legion?" Ace asked in surprise.
Adri replied solemnly: "Yes, this war is very special. Special circumstances also require you to go out of town with me. When you get there, you'll know a lot of things you want to know. ”
Ace looked at Stark on the side, and Stark sighed, "Let's go, anyway, you can't swing the hammer now, and you can't do anything here." ”
Ace knew that Stark didn't think so, he just said it on purpose.
Ace thought for a while, then finally nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll go out of the city with you first." ”
In fact, Ace has always been curious about the Imperial Army. After all, his father was once the deputy head of the Lionheart Knights.
Ace says goodbye to Stark and Klin, and prepares to go to the barracks outside the city. Although Kling was very reluctant to give up on Ace, he also knew the priority of the matter, so he didn't say anything.
Under the curious gaze of the surrounding neighbors, Ace followed Adri to the gate of the imperial capital.
When he arrived outside the imperial capital, Ace looked ahead and saw that countless military tents were neatly arranged two or three miles outside the gate, looking very spectacular.
Ace saw that he was not the only one who was recruited this time, there were some other students, all of whom were magicians above the third level, but he saw that Calero Robert.
Of course, in addition to mages, the Imperial army seems to have recruited a large number of reserve talents, including warriors and knights.
Along the way, he discovers countless wounded warriors, knights, and magicians along the way.
"Why are they all outside and don't enter the military tent?" Ace asked curiously.
Adri sighed, "Because there are no tents in the barracks anymore." ”
Ace was surprised. You know, he only saw at least a few thousand military accounts, even if each tent could only accommodate 30 people, it would be enough to accommodate a lot of people.
In addition, these people clearly need treatment, but they can only lie outside, suggesting that there are more seriously injured soldiers in the military tent who need treatment.
"What's wrong with the Demon Beast Mountain Range?" Ace felt more and more uneasy.
Soon, Adri took Ace to a relatively spacious military tent.
As soon as Ace entered, he heard an argument inside, and only then came in.
"Many mountains and wastelands of the empire have been overrun by powerful demonic beasts. If we don't deal with it in time, the empire will soon be in chaos! ”
"So, at the end of the day, the Warcraft Mountain Range is the source of this disaster. Without knowing what's going on inside Warcraft Mountain, how do we handle it properly? ”
"Now we can't even guarantee the security of the territory of the empire. What else do we care about in the Warcraft Mountains? ”
......
Ace didn't understand what they were talking about, but he knew that the current situation in the empire seemed very bad.
With a bunch of questions, Ace and a group of third-level mages of the academy followed Adri into the military tent and saw a long conference table filled with mages wearing various robes.
Most of them are high-level magicians, and there are even five mages and two great mages.
When Adri came in with a group of young mages, the debate in the military tent ended.
"Master Aier, I've brought a new batch of magicians." Adri said to the female mage in red sitting at the far end.
This person is none other than Al Slime, the Grand Magician on the Academy's Evaluation Table.
Al nodded to Edri, "Lieutenant Colonel Edri works hard. ”
Adri replied with a smile, then stepped out of the military tent.
After Edri left, one of the wind mages glanced at Ace and the others, frowned, and said, "The strongest are only the dark mages who are very popular in the evaluation. The others are all third-level mages. Wouldn't this power be a bit ......?"
Before the man could finish speaking, Al interrupted him, "Gael, you must know that the empire is in danger right now, and many higher-level magicians are scattered all over the empire, so it is impossible to recruit them in a short period of time. While these children are not strong at the moment, they are all young people. Give them some time and more experience, and I'm sure they'll make powerful magicians. ”
At this point, Al asked Ace and the others, "Do you have faith?" ”
Seeing the famous Grand Magician of the Empire standing up to speak for himself, these young and vigorous children naturally shouted one after another, "Yes! ”
It was so loud that the general's tent shook.
Al clasped his ears: "It's loud." I hope you guys won't let me down in the coming period. ”
Gail said this with a smile, then got up and left the military tent.
The other magicians also left.
In the end, only Al and a group of teenagers who had just been recruited by the Empire remained in the military tent.
Al cleared his throat and said, "Children, in the next month, you will go through an extremely brutal training session, which will be very difficult. I hope you are well prepared. Because I need you to work on the next level from what you are currently doing. ”
There was an uproar in the military tents.
"How is this possible? One month? It's just nonsense! ”
"I just reached the level of a Level 3 Magician last month. Can I move up one level a month? When pigs fly! ”
All the young mages in the barracks instantly began to complain.
Ace was also stunned. In the battle three days ago, relying on the results of actual combat, he had just entered the level 4 magician, and now he wanted to reach level 5 in a month? This seems unlikely.
Unless there's that rare fruit, like the magic fruit from before. However, for the "Magic Fruit", Ace never wanted to eat it, because in his opinion, he had to rely on his own efforts to improve, and it was absolutely unreliable to forcibly improve his own mage level with a foreign object.
Because Ace gradually realized that every self-breakthrough at the level of a magician would give him a deeper understanding of magic, which would definitely be of great benefit to his future strength improvement.
Seeing the children's suspicions, Al frowned: "Quiet! ”
Everyone immediately fell silent.
"You must know that the Empire is facing great difficulties right now. As the reserve force of the Empire, you must grow as quickly as possible. Because we're running out of time! Aier said very seriously.
Ace couldn't help but ask, "Great Wizard El, I want to know what's going on on the other side of the Demon Beast Mountain Range?" ”
Hearing Ace's question, all the children looked at Al curiously. Obviously, they also want to know.
Ai'er's face gradually calmed down, and he said, "There is a problem on the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, which has caused a large number of Demonic Beasts to flood all over the empire. The exact cause is yet to be investigated. ”
"What!" All the children were shocked, including Ace.
