When Richard and the others returned, William informed the Northern Legion of their encounter with the Serpentine Scouts.

The Northern Legion did not dare to slack off, and sent legion scouts into the Eagle Mountains to reconnoiter the enemy.

Detailed information on the orc army, when will it invade? The top brass of the Northern Legion didn't know much either.

But the Knight Academy had already received the news, and when Richard returned to the Academy, the academy teacher persuaded him to join the House Knights.

For the future, Richard already has his own plans.

He had learned part of the Madness Lion Legion Breathing Method in advance, and it was the best choice to continue practicing the Madness Lion Breathing Method, so he rejected the teacher's proposal and returned to Heihe Fort after getting his graduation certificate.

Richard didn't get bothered by the academy when he left, and the academy knew about his background.

Although William is not a hereditary baron, he is also an important officer in Northern Xinjiang, Richard is not a professional yet, and it is not a wartime emergency, and the academy will not offend William for a soldier.

Richard received his diploma and immediately went with Hayden to Gascoigne, the Flame Castle, the headquarters of the Lion Legion.

The Flame Fort is one hundred and fifty kilometers away from the Black River Fort, and the castle stands halfway up the mountain, and the nearby territory is not well developed, and it looks rather wild.

Compared to Blackriver Fort, Flame Fort is a completely military fortress.

There were not many freemen in the castle, and most of the inhabitants were family members of soldiers.

There are six hereditary barons in the vicinity of Flame Castle.

These six barons are all first-generation barons, and they have been granted fiefs for a short time, and their territories have not been well developed, so they are all poor among the hereditary nobles.

But the first barons were necessarily outstanding talents, powerful warriors. Although the territory is poor, its own military strength is not weak, and it is very experienced.

The strongest Baron Harden is a powerful seventh-order silver knight, and his combat power can be compared to that of a ninth-order professional.

It is rumored that Baron Harden has accumulated a lot of merit and received two baronies, which is not far from being promoted.

Under Baron Harden, there was also a smaller cavalry regiment.

This knight group of more than 100 people, with more than 30 professionals in it, can compete with a brigade of the main legion.

After Richard and Hayden arrived at Fort Flame, they did not go directly to the military service center to register, but found Roland first.

The main legions of the Grant royal family are squads, squadrons, brigades, and legions.

The number of troops under the jurisdiction of each legion and each brigade is not fixed.

Normally, a main army has ten infantry brigades, two cavalry brigades, a reconnaissance brigade, and a small heavy knight regiment.

Together with special arms such as medical and logistics, the number exceeds 20,000.

There were frequent battles in the north, and many troops were not yet in order, and their numbers fluctuated greatly.

Roland served as a deputy captain in the 8th Brigade of the Wild Lion Legion, with the rank of major.

Normally, the deputy captains of the main corps are all with the rank of lieutenant colonel. Roland has relatively little experience in the army, and his promotion to the deputy brigade has not been very long, and he has not had time to promote his rank.

"You brothers came so quickly, I thought you would rest for a while."

"This year, the orcs may go south, I think we should seize the time to familiarize ourselves with the environment and complete the advanced as soon as possible."

Led by Roland, the two quickly completed their Selective Service registration.

Richard had a Knight Academy diploma and was awarded the rank of second lieutenant as soon as he arrived, serving as the leader of the fourth squad of the sixth squadron of the eighth brigade of the Mad Lion Legion.

Frequent wars broke out in northern Xinjiang, and it was difficult for the major army corps to be fully equipped.

The Legion of the Wild Lions was organized into eight infantry brigades, a reconnaissance brigade, and a knightly regiment.

In the last orc invasion war, the Wild Lion Legion lost 5,000 soldiers, cut an infantry brigade, and the cavalry brigade was also replenished into the Knights, and the remaining troops have not been replenished until now.

The 8th Brigade formed only six and a half squadrons.

The 6th Squadron is not yet fully staffed, and the 8th Squadron has just been formed.

For the last two or three years, the Wild Lion Legion has been short of officers.

There was a vacancy in the military establishment, and Richard naturally did not need to compete with others, and there was no conflict of interest between colleagues, and the relationship was relatively harmonious.

Soon after entering the Legion of the Wild Lions, Richard handed over the four serpent human heads to the military judge.

With Roland's care, Richard is also a junior officer, so naturally he will not be afraid of the squadron judge's greed for military merits, and his military exploits were reported in less than two days and recorded on Richard.

According to the decree of the Kingdom of Grant, once a military merit is registered, it is not allowed to be exchanged. Unless it is a member of the same family in order to promote the title and expand the territory, it can be combined to promote the military merit.

In the Wild Lion Legion, there is only a very low threshold for exchanging breathing methods, and the three-layer breathing method during the warrior's apprenticeship can be exchanged for free after the recruit's training is completed.

The fourth layer of breathing can be redeemed with only a small effort.

The fifth level of breathing requires three small exercises, and the sixth level requires five small exercises.

If you want to exchange for the three layers of exercises for the junior professional, you need to add up to nine small exercises.

Killing three serpents is difficult for a junior professional.

Unless there are multiple opportunities for meritorious service, nine small merits can be accumulated.

If you don't have a backer, it's especially difficult to climb every step.

As soon as Richard joined the Legion of the Wild Lions, he had accumulated twelve small merits. After coming in, he was already an officer, and compared to ordinary soldiers, the beginning was already far ahead.

Richard took out nine small exercises at one time and exchanged them for the three-layer breathing method that professionals needed at the beginning of the day, and seized the time to cultivate.

To exchange for the Breathing Method of the Wild Lion Legion, Richard also needs to sign a special contract to ensure that the Breathing Method cannot be leaked. Even if it is his brother or son, the breathing method cannot be passed on privately.

The contract is stamped with the Order Seal, and is endorsed by this replica of the Church of Order artifact, unless you are a legendary professional, you have the ability to survive the backlash of the artifact.

Professions who have not advanced to the rank of Legend, once they break the contract and leak the breathing method, will immediately be attacked by the royal seal, and no one will be spared for thousands of years.

The exchange of breathing methods can only be watched, not transcribed, and there are thousands of words in one layer of breathing, and it takes several days to recite three layers of breathing. If you encounter someone with a poor memory, it may take longer.

Although Richard's memory is not as good as that of his sister Wendy, his mental strength is also very strong, and he can memorize more than 10,000 words of breathing in less than half a day, and quietly write it down after returning to the barracks.

Most of the soldiers of the Madness Lion Legion who practiced the breathing method would do this, after all, human memory is limited.

If you can memorize it today, you may forget it after a few days, and you can often review and touch it by writing it down. But be careful, once the breathing method is lost and leaked, the attack of the artifact will come. The transcribed breathing is like your second life. If you lose it, your life is in danger.

Richard's family collection of apprenticeship breathing is one such source.

His uncle, Powell, had already destroyed a copy of the breathing method after retiring from the army, and he would not deliberately practice it on weekdays. I've been studying breathing for many years, and I've forgotten most of it.

However, the physical fitness strengthened by practicing the breathing method has been preserved, and the fighting qi can be maintained in the body for many years.
