Chapter XXXVI: The Eastern Army
In addition to this official name, the Sixth Army of the Natya Federation is often referred to as the Eastern Army because of its location and authority. As the most elite legion of the Federation, the Sixth Legion is responsible for guarding the eastern border of the Federation against the Black Flag Wingers of the Namoa Mountains, and is also responsible for monitoring the undead realm of Heras, the largest peninsula in the southeast of the continent.
The original standing strength of the Eastern Legion was about 35,000 people, including 10,000 winged warriors in five banner regiments, 25,000 standing troops, 500 resident battle mages, and 2,000 constructed puppets. It's a battle-hardened army, but it's a stretch to keep the vast airspace and borders of the eastern part of the Federation in peace. Thus, in the year 526 of the federal calendar, Rear Admiral Gary Agrol, who had just been promoted to commander of the Eastern Legion, applied to the Ministry of Military Affairs to directly incorporate a patrol fleet of forty-seven large and small floating warships into the formation and command of the Eastern Legion.
Now, the battleship Bavaros that Lu Xi and his group of candidates are riding on is under the command of the Eastern Legion fleet, and it is also one of the only two first-class battleships in the fleet.
After almost a month of flight, the Bavaros arrived at the headquarters of the Eastern Corps - the fortress of Daroshul.
It was a floating island with only one-third of the Isle of Rainbow Roses, but the entire island had been completely militarized. Castles, barracks, warehouses, military ports, and a small number of houses cover almost the entire island, and there is hardly any trace of nature in sight.
As soon as they got off the boat, and before they could even put down their luggage, several officers gathered the candidates together.
"Now, we will assign the military stations or sentry posts that serve according to your group. Whoever says the name, stand up and shout 'Arrive'! A man in army armor pulled out the list and glanced at the crowd in front of him. As expected, everyone was in an uproar.
They originally thought that they would only receive three months of military training in the Eastern Army, but no one expected that the military department would really regard themselves as recruits and be directly assigned to various subordinate units. If you are unlucky, you will be assigned to the watchtower on the border, not only will you be bored to count the ants every day, but you will also have to beware of the day when the Black Flag Wingers invade the border, and they will be martyred for no reason.
"Silence!" The officer let out a loud shout. He obviously didn't use magic, but with the middle qi in his abdomen alone, the oppressive sound reached the ears of every candidate.
And so, the whole world was quiet.
"What? Do you still think that the headquarters will let you scrap materials mix with the headquarters for three months? From now on, you are ordinary recruits of the Eastern Legion. Any orders from your superiors must be obeyed unconditionally, and if you have any objections, you can go to the military department to complain when your internship is completed; However, if anyone fails to meet the requirements within these three months, I will not hesitate to kill you! Do you understand? ”
“……”
"Got it?!" The officer raised his voice an octave.
"Understood!" This time, everyone, including many girls, is very practical.
"So, I'll start the roll call!"
The officers read the names of the group aloud, and a representative of the named group stepped forward to take the scroll from another officer, and then left with his companions guided by the soldiers. Thus, after about half an hour, only about half of the crowd in the harbor remained.
"Lucy Berencaster, Carol Rodisuet, Seyleuk Moore Team!" The officer pronounced three names in one breath.
Lu Xi tilted his head, and his gaze happened to meet Carol. The two looked at each other for a few seconds, but the only girl in the regiment had not said a word, and walked up without giving up, taking the scroll from the officer's hand. …,
"Tsk, do you really think you're the captain? Who cares about her......" Carol pursed her lips and grumbled in a low voice.
Lu Xi just shrugged his shoulders and watched as Sai Xiliu walked down with the scroll in his hand.
"Let's open it and take a look." Lu Xi said.
The girl glanced at Lu Xi, nodded a little reluctantly, and pulled the scroll open, with only one sentence on it.
"Before 6 p.m. on September 4, report to Major Lorens, the head of Job's No. 1 outpost. If it is not expired, it will be punished as a deserter! ”
"Job's Sentry Point? Where is that? Carol asked.
"Who knows? There are at least more than 1,000 border posts under the Eastern Legion, and everyone can remember the name. Go to the headquarters and ask someone. Lu Xi shook his head.
Sehirus pondered for a moment and said, "The name 'Job' should refer to the sentry post on Mount Job, a branch of the Namoa Mountains. As for the number one, it means that it is the headquarters of all the outposts on that section of the border. Just go and get a map of the detailed points and we'll be able to find it ourselves. ”
"Oh?" Lu Xi looked at the girl with some surprise, "I didn't expect you to be so clear about military affairs." ”
“…… I just heard that I'm coming here to serve. So I just looked up some information in the library in advance. ”
Oh, what a top student. But I don't know why, Lu Xi always feels that this top student seems to be a little bit aimed at himself in and out of his words.
"But Mount Job must be a little far from here, so how shall we get there?" Carol asked.
"It is said that every army of battle mages is eligible to receive a bat beast, although we are temporary, but we should also have this benefit." Lu Xidao.
"And what about our servants?"
"Who knows? Maybe it will cost money, so let's go to the Flying Beast Camp and ask first. ”
“…… It's okay, if it's just a little bit of money, it doesn't matter. ”
It seems that Carol is quite rich, otherwise he would never have put on an attitude of "as long as it can be solved with money, it is not a problem".
That's great. I wish I could say that one day.
"By the way, Sehiru, what about your servants?" Lu Xi asked. He looked around and made sure that there were only five people around him, including himself, and in addition to the three candidates, there were only Lu Xi's servant Primra and Carol's servant, the dark elf girl.
"......" Sai Xiliu gritted his teeth, but his face was blue and red for a while. After a while, she glanced at Lu Xi with a complicated gaze, then raised her head and walked away without saying a word.
"Huh? Did I say something wrong? ”
"Phew!" Suddenly there was a pain in the head.
"Lim? What are you doing? As expected, Primra withdrew her knife with a blank face.
“…… Dullness. ”
"Sluggish?"
“…… Bad. ”
"Bad?"
After saying these few words, Primra also followed without saying a word, leaving only Lu Xi, who was looking at the backs of the two girls, inexplicably.
"Where is this......"
"Well, man, is this really your subordinate?" Carol smacked his head from the sidelines.
"How's it going, have you seen it? You haven't seen such a personality and obedience, have you? ”
"No, where do I have such a good blessing......"
"Young master, I heard it." The dark elf girl squinted her eyes and smiled.
I don't know why, in the face of such a bright smile, Carol suddenly subconsciously trembled, he barely squeezed out a stiff smile on his face, "hehe" laughed dryly, and stretched out a hand to Lu Xi.
"Everyone lives in different rooms on the ship, and we haven't known each other yet, have we? The next three months will take care of you. My name is Carol Rodtishut, and I'm a recent graduate of Nadia Central Academy of Magic. ”…,
Indeed, as a comrade-in-arms in the future, I should still introduce myself solemnly again. My name is Lucy Berencaster, uh, I didn't go to school, so I guess it's a legendary wild road. ”
"Didn't go to school? I really envy you, you don't know, once you enter school, that life is really troubled. Every day is an unfinished homework, unfinished exams, and even the holidays are often dragged back by the teacher to make up for the class, not to say anything about 'voluntary make-up class', 'the teacher sacrificed the vacation time to help us study, we should be grateful' or something. TM, Lao Tzu was obviously forced to pay the tuition fee! ”
"Young master, it's very inelegant to swear." The dark elves continued to squint and smile.
"Uh......" Carol choked on the second half of her words, as if she had swallowed a fly. He took a breath, then pointed to the girl beside him, "This is my servant Iroville Doleden." Well, as you can see, it's a drow immigrant. ”
"Hello, Lord Belencaster. It's okay to call me Vier, please take care of me. The dark elf girl saluted Lu Xi and smiled very lively. It seems that this girl named Elovier has the opposite personality of Primla.
"Hello. You should be my friend for your attention, there is no more reliable comrade-in-arms on the battlefield than the Dark Elves. Lu Xi slapped the other party silently, and then said to Carol: "By the way, that girl, do you know it?" ”
"You mean Seyleuk Moore?"
"Well, it seems that she is also a graduate of Central College."
"Of course. Not only that, but also our student council president, who is in the top three in the exam every year. Carol pursed her lips, but there was a hint of disdain in her tone, but also a hint of envy and admiration.
"Oh, that's really an honor student. However, how did I offend her just now? ”
"Well, I don't know much about that, but it seems like she's a civilian."
"Civilian birth?"
"Yes, commoner-born magician! Originally, there was not much salary at the beginning, and if there was a large family to support, how could it be possible to afford to hire servants? ”
"So, I just accidentally hurt her self-esteem?"
"That's not it, there are often nobles bullying commoners in the school, and even if you can't stand this, what kind of magician is it? Still, I haven't seen her wear anything other than her school uniform. I've never seen her come to any balls, fraternities, and these events. Maybe the family is really a little tight. It's really hard enough to stick to it for six years at once. ”
"Hehe, you don't seem to hate her."
"Huh? Actually, I can't say I hate it. However, I just can't see her pretense of being serious. Last time, I was half an hour late to the curfew, so I had to climb through the fence into the school, and then she caught me...... Look at her serious model face at that time...... Yes! I can't think about it, the more I think about it, the more angry I get! ”
“…… Carol, you are in school, you should belong to the kind of student who is often named and criticized, often called to be reprimanded, and often described, right? ”
"How do you know?"
"I don't know, it's just that the plot is generally arranged like this."
To put it bluntly, Carol doesn't have a deep hatred for Seyleuc; It's just that the top students and bad teenagers, no matter what world or era, are irreconcilable natural enemies more irreconcilable than cats and mice.
Lu Xi chatted with Carol's master and servant as he quickened his pace, and soon caught up with Primra and Sehireu in the Colosseum. Sai Xiliu still didn't give Lu Xi even a good look, but the little otaku decided to choose not to meet her very well. …,
Everyone quickly received five manta beasts from the Flying Beast Field. Sure enough, there were really only three free rations, and the two ends of the servants spent a lot of money.
In addition, as the battle mages of the Eastern Legion, the three of them each received a standard robe, a soft leather breastplate, a magic staff, and a short sword.
To be honest, as the official equipment of the federal army, the quality of these equipment has far exceeded the mainland goods sold in the weapons stores in the city, which can be regarded as good products. It's a pity that Lu Xi's body, whether it is a sword or a lined cuirass, is a priceless heirloom equipment, and although the staff in his hand is only picked from Orucello's warehouse, it is not ordinary.
The standard equipment issued by the army is really not very eye-catching.
So, Lu Xi just put on the robe with the army emblem, and stuffed other things into his bag.
Also doing the same thing as him was Carol, and it could be seen that this guy was born either rich or expensive, and he brought something good.
Unlike the two sons, Seyriliu carefully put away the equipment. She held the newly issued army staff, and couldn't put it down, as if it was the first time she had used such a good thing.
"You just sleep with it." Carol looked at the other party and couldn't help but stab.
"I'm different from you, everything I have is based on my own efforts. Of course, you have to take care of it. Sehireu replied lukewarmly.
Carol touched his nose with ash, and then turned his gaze to Lu Xi for help.
"If there's nothing wrong with the equipment, I'd like you to apply for another one more and get a build golem down. After all, we are now going to the border, and there is a high probability that we will encounter real combat. You know what happens to a mage without protection, right? Carol and I both have subordinates, and you ......"
"No, if you want to protect it, I have it." Sehireu said.
She removed a silver pendant from her neck and whispered a few incantations. Suddenly, a huge magic circle appeared at her feet, and a thick shadow revealed its true body in the red light of the magic circle.
It was a two-meter-tall constructed puppet. It shimmered with metal all around, two thick arms with a fist blade, and a talisman spell carved into its chest with runes.
Lu Xi was taken aback. Didn't you say that the girl was born as a civilian? However, with the silver golem in front of her, it was already worth the income of an ordinary family for more than ten years, not to mention the pendant magic weapon around her neck.
"This pendant is a space magic weapon, which can hold ten construction puppets or phantom beasts, and together with that silver golem, they are the prizes I won last year in the Elichar Young Summoner and Puppeteer Contest." The girl put away the puppet and looked at Lu Xi with her head held high, a hint of pride flashed in her pupils.
"Oops, I knew you were good, but I didn't expect you to be so good. As a companion, you can really be reliable. Lu Xi showed a happy and relieved expression, seemingly ignoring the other party's provocation at all.
As if a fist had hit the cotton, the smugness and provocation on Sai Xiliu's face suddenly vanished, and her face was flushed, and her expression was extremely exciting. Lu Xi didn't bother to pay attention to the other party's entanglement, and continued: "Actually, the real problem is that the appointment requires us to arrive before 18 o'clock on September 4. ”
"yes, what's the problem?"
"It's September 1st. If I'm not mistaken, the manta beasts aren't that fast, right? If you're late, you'll be considered a deserter. ”
After a long silence, everyone's expressions became bright
