Hundreds of gray stone lamps illuminate the entire hall as if it were daylight.

When Pei Ze entered the hall, there were already hundreds of people inside.

The floor of the hall is divided by white lines and numbered.

All Wizard Apprentices and Knights who follow them are numbered by their respective teams and wait in their respective areas.

Pei Ze's team number is 32, which happens to be adjacent to Gu Rin of 33.

"Lord Pei Ze!"

Su Ya and Peng Yan had already arrived, and when they saw Pei Ze, they immediately greeted respectfully.

Pei Ze nodded, and threw a bottle of boiling blood potion to the two of them.

"Take it and use it when you're in danger."

Su Ya and Peng Yan recognized it as a blood boiling elixir, and their faces showed surprise, and they were busy thanking them gratefully.

For this operation, both of them prepared some potions.

But they are all non-advanced elixirs such as brute force elixirs, stamina elixirs, and antidote elixirs.

A first-order potion like the Boiling Blood Elixir, which costs hundreds of gold coins, is difficult for even a big knight like them to afford.

This potion is used well at a critical moment, no less than a life-saving prop.

Before the operation started, I got a bottle of first-order potion, and this time I really hugged the right thigh!

Su Ya and Peng Yan were both overjoyed in their hearts.

Looking at this scene, the two knight students standing behind Gu Rin invariably showed envious expressions.

Gu Rin couldn't help but roll his eyes.

She was not as extravagant as Pei Ze, and she casually gave away two bottles of first-order elixir.

After all, gem magic is very expensive, and most of the resources given to her by the family are used for this.

Suddenly, Gu Rin suddenly thought of something, leaned next to Pei Ze, and asked in a low voice, "You refined these potions yourself?" ”

Pei Ze glanced at her, shook his head and said, "I bought it." ”

Gu Rin sighed, a little skeptical, but after thinking about it, Pei Ze seemed to have only been in contact with pharmacy for two or three months, and it should be unlikely that he would be able to refine the first-order potion on his own now.

You must know that Yin Xue, another disciple of Mo Weng, had spent more than half a year successfully refining the first bottle of first-order elixir.

And that's it, Yin Xue is already a well-known pharmacy genius in the Tower Academy.

Pei Ze's talent in pharmacy can't be better than Yin Xue, right?

The doubts in Gu Rin's heart suddenly dissipated, and he shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.

At this moment, the door of the hall suddenly opened, and a group of mermaids rushed in.

They were all dressed in armor, their breath was strong, their eyes were either sharp or resolute, and they exuded a slightly oppressive feeling in their hearts.

Legendary Knight!

With the arrival of these people, the hum of the hall quickly died down, and in the blink of an eye, it became quiet.

The eyes of the wizard apprentices were all focused on these generals, and their expressions were solemn.

In Dawn City, knights have a much lower status than wizards.

But the Legendary Knight is an exception.

Knights who have reached this level have mastered at least one elemental power, which is enough to pose a threat to wizards.

And for ordinary wizard apprentices, the legendary knight is a powerful existence that cannot be defeated.

Only a very small number of Level 3 Wizard Apprentices can compete with the Legendary Knight.

Therefore, even among the Silver Light Legion with many wizards, the legendary knight has a place, at least at the rank of officer.

In the city guards, the legendary knights have a higher status, and without exception they are all high-level generals and officials.

In front of more than a dozen legendary knights, even if they were third-level wizard apprentices, they didn't dare to make mistakes at will.

A group of legendary knights strode up to the crowd and stood still, followed by the middle three.

The first person looked around with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Yan Zhen, I am the overseer of the city guards, and I am also the chief commander of this encirclement and suppression operation. ”

Yan Zhen's voice fell, and a hook-nosed man on the right followed closely to speak.

"Huo Nan, also the overseer of the city guard, one of the commanders of this encirclement and suppression operation."

This is followed by a middle-aged man on the left.

"Dai Long, also the overseer of the city guards, one of the commanders of this encirclement and suppression operation."

The Overseers, the generals of the City Guard after the chief and deputy commanders, are already in high power.

The presence of three Overseers as commanders at once shows the importance the City Guards take to this operation.

As for the other generals, they stood solemnly behind the three of them, without the slightest sign of speaking.

"Let's talk about tonight's plan of action."

Yan Zhen acted neatly, didn't talk much nonsense after the introduction, went directly to the topic, and waved his hand at a tall officer next to him.

The tall officer immediately stepped forward and placed a fist-sized hedron in the center of the hall.

Without seeing him do anything, the hedron suddenly hummed, and countless rays of light escaped from it, interweaving and outlining a lifelike image above.

Pei Ze stared at it for a few moments, and quickly recognized it as the map of the northern district outside Dawn City.

The entire Dawn City is divided into two parts: the inside and the outside.

The inner city surrounded by the Ring of Truth, and the outer city that surrounded the inner city and divided the four major districts of east, west, south, and north.

Like Pei Ze, he now lives in the southern district of the outer city.

I have to say that the map of the northern area of the outer city in front of me is extremely precise, like a three-dimensional map looking down from a high altitude, and if you zoom in, you can even see the lines on the outer wall of the building.

"This is the target location of our operation tonight."

The tall officer pointed to a spot on the map, which was instantly dyed red.

But it's a manor.

"Based on the information we have, it can be determined that this is the stronghold of the Abep forces, and it is tentatively estimated that there are more than three hundred heretics hiding inside, and there is at least one priest and five binge drinkers."

"The operation will begin at midnight, when the two wizards of the Tower Academy, along with the Overseers and the Thousand Captains, as well as the elite main force of the City Guard, will raid this manor."

"Your mission here is to coordinate with our fellow city guards to form a defensive line around the manor and kill the fleeing infidels."

With the words of the tall officer, two yellow circles appeared on the map, one inside and one outside, with the manor as the center.

The outermost yellow circle separates the cones of equal size with lines, each numbered on them, for a total of 120 areas.

The division was very simple and straightforward, and the wizard apprentices quickly understood the plan.

The outermost yellow circle is the area they are to be stationed.

A total of 120 teams were present, each stationed in a small area according to their numbers.

Seeing this, many wizard apprentices secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

What they feared most was to be assigned to raid the stronghold, which would undoubtedly be very dangerous.

If you meet a binge drinker, I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to escape.

On the other hand, killing the fleeing infidels on the periphery is much less dangerous.

"There are two lines of defense, the first line of defense is in charge of our city guards, and everyone here is mainly responsible for the outermost defense line."

The tall officer looked around with a solemn expression.

"Let's start assigning the areas that each squad is responsible for."

"Area 1 is under the responsibility of Team 1."

"Area 2 is under the responsibility of Team 2."

"Area 3 consists of"

In the gap between the tall officers allocating the defensive area, Gu Rin suddenly whispered: "Luckily, we are Area 32 and Area 33. ”

Pei Ze nodded slightly, smiled and didn't speak.

It is also the outermost line of defense, but the danger of each area varies greatly.

For example, to the north of the manor is a heavily guarded city gate, and as long as the pagan is not caught in the door, it is impossible for the pagan to run to the north.

There is also the manor to the west of the manor is the garrison of the city guards, and the possibility of the heretics escaping in this direction is also not very high.

In general, with the exception of a few pagans who are panicked, there should not be too many enemies to storm the lines of defense in these two directions

In addition, there are also city guards defending in front, and after the 'filtering' of the first line of defense, the pressure on the second line of defense seems to be greatly reduced.

For wizard apprentices assigned to these two directions, the defensive pressure can be said to be almost none.

On the other hand, in the south and east, the pressure is much greater.

Especially in the east, after the second line of defense is the residential area, with many buildings and complex terrain, and once the heretics escape into this area, it is like a fish entering the sea, and it is even more difficult to catch them.

Therefore, there are certainly not a few heretics who choose to break through in this direction.

Although the wizard apprentices and knight cadets present wanted to earn more merit points and contribution points, they didn't plan to pin their heads to their belts and work hard, so they naturally didn't want to be stationed in the most dangerous areas.

"The team in Area 28 is under a lot of pressure." Gu Rin said in a low voice.

Pei Ze looked at the wizard apprentice of Team 28, who was already extremely ugly at this time.

Area 28 is just in front of the entrance to the residential area.

Among the 120 areas of the perimeter defense, the defensive pressure in the No. 28 area is definitely the first.

Even if there are city guards in front to share the pressure, the danger is extremely high.

Judging by the expression on the face of the wizard apprentice, nine times out of ten he was already regretting coming to participate in this operation.

It's a pity that the operation has already begun, and he can't give up even if he regrets it, otherwise the punishment of the City Guard and the Tower Academy is no joke.

After a short time, the tall officer announced the responsible teams of the 27 areas in front of him, and it was the turn of the 28th.

"28 areas by 2"

"Wait."

A voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the tall officer's words.

He looked back in amazement and saw that the person who spoke was Overseer Honan, and his face couldn't help but show a trace of doubt.

"Overseer."

Huo Nan raised his hand to stop the tall officer's question, his gaze swept across the crowd, and finally landed on Pei Ze, and there seemed to be a ghostly light flashing in his eyes.

"Area 28 is very important, and it is safer to have a stronger team in charge, so in my opinion, it will be handed over to team 32."

Huo Nan's voice fell, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

Everyone looked at Pei Ze with a very strange look.

Huo Nan's words seem to be praising the strength of Team 32 for being strong enough to take on heavier responsibilities, but who can't see that he is targeting Pei Ze?

Some of the delicate apprentices even noticed that Yan Zhen and Dai Longju were frowning, obviously Huo Nan had not communicated with them in advance about his decision.

In front of everyone's eyes, Pei Ze's eyes just flashed slightly, and he didn't react much.

On the other side, Yan Zhen glanced at Huo Nan deeply and did not speak.

Seeing that Yan Zhen and Dai Long did not raise their voices, the tall officer hesitated and raised his voice: "Area 28 is in charge of Team 32. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes looking at Pei Ze suddenly brought a trace of pity.

"This is offending Overseer Honan, right?"

"Who knows, he's in trouble anyway."

"The location of Area 28 is so bad that it's a headache to think about."

"Yes, a bad one may even have to take his life!"

There are also many people who secretly gloat.

The wizard apprentices of Team 28 were even more visibly relieved.

"Silence!"

The tall officer coughed lightly, suppressed the crowd's chatter, and continued to announce.

"Area 29 is under the responsibility of Team 29."

"Area 32 consists of Team 28."

Except for the 28th and 32nd teams, the areas of responsibility for the other teams are the same.

After announcing the area of responsibility, the tall officer's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "All teams must do their best to exterminate the infidels, and if they find negligence in their duties, they will be dealt with according to military law!" ”

"At the beginning of the operation, everyone will be given a recording ring to record the operation and the calculation of merit."

"In addition, after the end of this operation, all wizard apprentices will receive a base reward of 10 merit points, and all knight cadets will receive a base reward of 200 contribution points."

As soon as these words came out, most of the wizard apprentices and knight students immediately looked happy.

Only Su Ya and Gu Rin had heavy faces.

"Pei Ze, do you have a conflict with Huo Nan?" Gu Rin asked.

Pei Ze shook his head: "Before today, I didn't know him. ”

Gu Rin frowned and said, "That's strange, why did he target you for no reason?" ”

"Maybe it's not for nothing." Pei Ze said meaningfully.

Gu Rin was slightly stunned, and then quickly reacted, revealing a thoughtful look.

It is true that the status of the legendary knight is higher than that of a third-level wizard apprentice, but that is only an ordinary third-level wizard apprentice.

For example, a third-level wizard apprentice like Pei Ze, who has excellent qualifications and is a fifth-order pharmacist student, even a legendary knight would not dare to offend easily.

Huo Nan almost blatantly targeted Pei Ze just now, and if she wanted to say that there was no wizard behind her, she would definitely not believe it.

And the wizard who would do such a thing, the answer is almost imminent.

Gu Rin frowned and said, "Even if you know why Huo Nan wants to target you, you can't change the plan now." ”

Su Ya on the side also looked extremely solemn, and she stopped talking.

is as honest as Peng Yan, and he also realized the seriousness of the matter, and his big face tightened.

Among the crowd, Pei Ze was the only one with a calm expression, and he smiled slightly: "I participated in the encirclement and suppression operation originally for meritorious points, and I wish I could kill more heretics, isn't it just right now?" ”

"Maybe after the operation is over, I can redeem a place in the Secret Realm of Truth."

Seeing that Pei Ze's expression was calm and not like a strong support, Gu Rin couldn't help but secretly admire his confidence and indifference, and said with a smile: "Then you have to hold on, I don't want to hear the news of your death after I come back." ”

"Don't worry." Pei Ze said with a smile.

Gu Rin didn't say anything more, and walked out of the hall with his two companions.

Pei Ze glanced in Huo Nan's direction, smiled, and walked towards the door of the hall.

Su Ya and Peng Yan hurriedly followed.
