Chapter 239: Shocked

In the back garden of the Victory Palace there is a small patch of black tulips, which is a specialty of the Harran Empire. Black tulips are an extremely rare variant of tulips, extremely precious, the floral fragrance can help people sleep, and the rhizome is a necessary material for some secret medicines.

His Majesty, the emperor of the Gallic Empire, dressed in plain clothes, was taking advantage of the clouds of the slanting sun at dusk to carefully cut off the scars on the leaves of a black tulip with a pair of silver scissors. He frowned and tended to the flower carefully, as carefully and earnestly as the thrush he gave to his old lover, now the queen of the Harran Empire, when he was young.

Every time he saw this black tulip, the emperor remembered his old lover. This small piece of precious flower field was also a national gift from the Harran Empire to the Gallic Empire. Of course, the affection contained in it is only known to His Majesty the Emperor.

Sighing lightly, he slowly straightened his waist, threw the silver scissors to the palace chief who was waiting on the side, and the emperor walked into the study slowly.

"This battle in the morning was good, and I told Stein that kid called Enzo that he was on the list of key training. Although he has the advantage of weapons and armor, but with such a few people, he can kill so many orcs, this kid's ability is good!"

"It's just that remember to send someone to investigate the source of their funds for the purchase of weapons and armor. If the money has anything to do with my bastard children and grandchildren, I can't let him climb too high. If this money is raised by himself, for example, it is the money of the little guy named Lin Qi who he summoned, then it will be done according to the promotion rules of the army!"

"Lin Qi, Lin Qi!" the Emperor frowned, and he whispered to himself, "Dun Erke, Lin Qi, hey, this name seems to have some meaning!"

"And, with black hair, black eyes, yellow skin, pure Oriental blood! Harvey, I seem to remember that there is such a kid in Dunerke, right? Hmm? The kid who was going to give him a hereditary title and was rejected was also the one with black eyes and black hair?"

The gray-haired court steward, who had already shown his old state, smiled. He used a white silk scarf to slowly wipe the liquid stuck on the silver scissors, nodded slowly and smiled: "Yes." ้™›xiร . Back then, you took us on a sneaky tour of the northern front, only to be surrounded by orcs. It was the young man named Lin Hu who saved us. โ€

"Oh, it's him?" the emperor stopped, "Lin Qi is his child?" Both father and son are very tall!"

Harvey nodded, and he said slowly: "The student file that was just transferred from the Fifth University, Lin Qi's father is indeed called Lin Hu, and their family is very powerful and rich in Dunerke. Lin Hu, now he has just taken over the position of mayor of Dunerke!"

The emperor smiled, and he waved his hand vigorously: "Then there is no need to check anything, Lin Hu, Lin Hu." Is he unwilling to be lonely when he is old?Mayor Dunerke? He could have imagined that if he had accepted my reward, he would have been the governor of the province of Yasin by now, and at worst he could be the governor of a province as a nobleman. โ€

Shaking his head, the emperor smiled meaningfully: "Go to the Fifth University to investigate Lin Qi's personality and personal ability! As long as this kid is not too unbearable, let the Ministry of the Interior put him on the reserve list." Go and ask Korn to see what the character of this kid is like Lin Qi, and tell Kou En that if Lin Qi is good, teach him his set, hahaha!"

Harvey smiled and nodded, shoving the silver scissors into his pocket.

In the study, the twelve court masters have changed, and a simple dinner has been placed on the desk in front of the throne. The emperor sat on the throne and waved his hand as he ate and drank.

Originally, the actual combat drills of the Army Academy were not of the slightest interest to the emperor, who had experienced a hundred battles and had once rushed through an army of millions of orcs. But in the morning, Enzo commanded the Iron Fist Regiment to defeat five hundred orc mercenaries in one fell swoop, which made the emperor's interest suddenly high, and even the place for dinner was chosen in the study.

A dazzling light burst out from inside the crystal ball, and the situation on the isolated island battlefield was suddenly vivid.

Linzi and Enzo were in the camp to get their equipment straightened out, and in the morning battle, some of the soft armor was damaged, some of the swords were also damaged in different ways, some arrows were shot at stones, and the arrows needed to be resharpened. Most of the team members were also injured, and some of them were not easily injured - they were hit with blunt objects by the violent orcs, and their internal organs were concussed.

So for a whole day, Lin Qi didn't go anywhere, and they just rested in the camp.

The wounded team members were lying comfortably in the tent, and Barr and Leo were leading people to the woods to pick a large number of herbs and boil them to heal their wounds. Those who were not injured were cutting down trees and laying out various defenses outside the camp.

With Lin Qi's help, the team members even dug a two-meter-wide ditch around the camp and brought in live water from a nearby creek to inject into the ditch. Through the flowing river, you can see that the water is densely packed with sharp wooden stakes, and the defense of this camp has been raised several notches.

And it can be seen with the naked eye that some long grass near the camp is not leaning in the right direction, and it is obvious that traps have been arranged under those long grasses. There were also things like horses and lassoes hidden in the long grass, which enclosed the barracks impermeable.

While chewing on the food, the emperor nodded with satisfaction and exclaimed: "It's not bad, a group of rookies can do this, it's very good." This Enzo, check his family background. I hope his background is clean, as long as he doesn't get involved with those big nobles, he will be reused!"

Harvey nodded in response, and slowly poured a cup of fresh milk into the emperor's cup.

Seeing that there was nothing new to see in Lin Qi's camp, the emperor ordered the mages to turn their attention to the camps of the other teams. First he saw that the defeated orcs were gathering in a small valley, and they didn't know which team they had attacked, and these orcs were actually tearing at some broken human body fragments.

The emperor's face darkened, and the good mood that Enzo and Lin Qi had brought to him in the morning quickly disappeared without a trace. With a cold snort, the Emperor ordered in a low voice: "Let Stein warn those dolls, this is war, if they don't want to be used as food by the orcs, cheer up and use all the things they have learned at the Army Academy." โ€

With a heavy sigh, the emperor dropped his knife and fork and looked at the ceiling with rolled eyes.

"There has been no war for thirty years, can it be that the soldiers of the empire have degraded so quickly? Look at these little rookies, they are still from military aristocracy, but look at their appearance, even the militia during the land island war is not comparable! What did they learn at the Army Academy? Fighting, brawling, drinking, playing with women? What else?"

The emperor suddenly turned his head to look at Harvey: "What percentage of the noble students of the Army Academy are now?"

Harvey's face twitched, and he smiled in a low voice: "Most of the military academies in various provinces are civilian cadets. However, the cadets of the Imperial Capital Army Academy and the Naval Academy exceeded 80 percent of the cadets from noble backgrounds. After all, compared to civilian cadets, these children from military aristocratic families have an innate advantage. โ€

The Emperor's face twitched, "But I don't want them to take advantage of this." โ€

The fierce emperor slapped his face on the table, and he cried out: "Behold, my crown, my seal, is in my palace, in my study, and has been snatched away! Look, look, no one knows who stole my treasure, and there is no clue at all! Thirty years ago, could such a thing be imagined?"

Touching his neck vigorously, the emperor complained: "If it had been thirty years ago, would those strong orcs have been able to storm my palace and cut off my head? Harvey, what do you say? Thirty years, the empire has become ten times stronger than before, a hundred times stronger, the empire's army has not been downsized, but both equipment and military salaries have been improved, but why can't my personal property be safely protected?"

Harvey sighed lightly, he looked at the emperor and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's been thirty years, and the current empire is too rich." โ€

The Emperor writhed in exasperation, his ass rubbing against the throne with a 'crunch' sound. He said to himself depressedly: "Yes, they are too rich, too comfortable, they have forgotten about it, the empire is not safe! But how can we remind them? We take the initiative to provoke a new round of land and island war?"

Raising his eyebrows, the emperor laughed evilly: "Or, I'm going to kill a certain god of the church!"

The Emperor stood up with great interest: "If it's a male god, I'll kill him with a sword, if it's a female god, I'll kill her! And then fight a religious war with the church? Harvey, what do you think of my idea?"

Harvey rolled his eyes and said nothing, he really didn't have much to say about the whimsical emperor.

At this moment, a shocking picture appeared in the light curtain emitted by the crystal ball.

More than a dozen demonic beasts were howling and chasing a group of wolf bรจi fleeing students, and these students who were fleeing for their lives, while they were running away, they were still pulling up the long grass around them, constantly tearing off the leaves on the branches, and swallowing them into their mouths.

The emperor was dumbfounded, Harvey was also dumbfounded, the twelve court ** masters were a little unable to control their mana output, and the light curtain in the crystal ball flickered violently.

Everyone was extremely shocked to look at these students who were pulling grass and eating while running wildly, they were eating so happily that the corners of their mouths were dripping green grass juice one by one, and they were still eating hard and continuously!

In particular, the emperor watched as he ate two pockets of about a dozen catties of long grass cleanly! After eating more than a dozen catties of grass, it took him less than five breaths.

"Go, tell Stein to find out what's going on!"

The Emperor was already out of his rage, and he hissed and roared:

"Ask the people in charge of the Army Academy if they are training a group of future officers or a group of donkeys for the Empire!" (To be continued)
