In the dead of night, Roy climbed up the dark spiral staircase to the tower on the wall of the college's central campus.

Pushing open the creaking wooden door, a cool night breeze hit my face.

Standing on the tall tower and looking down, the huge campus is peaceful. The paths are hidden under the canopy of whirling trees, and the shadows of the trees sway gently in the dim street lights. The training ground is empty, and the bustling scene of sweating like rain during the day is dusty.

Only the silent equipment on the sidelines was left.

All around, the castles of six knight brigades were like six guards, guarding the central campus. The huge figure, illuminated by the demonic moon in the sky, slightly outlined a faint light that could be distinguished from the dark night in the distance.

The long and narrow windows of the gray stone dormitory buildings still showed the light of candles. It should be that the students were still discussing and chatting in low voices with their roommates. That night, I don’t know how many people tossed and turned all night long.

Hard to sleep.

The campus is so peaceful and peaceful, in sharp contrast to the still noisy and chaotic Munich outside the city walls.

Roy jumped up onto the battlement and sat down.

High above the ground, a group of college guards passed by with spears in hand. The street lights lengthened their shadows.

It has only been less than two months since I came to this academy.

If it were a peaceful time, this would be just an insignificant part of a young boy's four-year college career.

Roy has longed for this kind of life since he was a child, sweating profusely on the training ground, squinting at the blue sky on the campus grass, running laughing with his friends on rainy days, looking for legendary martial arts secrets in the library and then preparing for them.

I feel proud and complacent when I learn a useless skill that no one else has tried.

The life of the college contains a lot, and the days of youth contain even more content. However, neither I nor my peers here have time to savor it carefully.

The shadow of war is already approaching from afar.

A year and a half ago, it appeared in Borabel in the south, claiming the lives of countless people. A year and a half later, it followed its footsteps and enveloped this magnificent and prosperous city.

The southern part of the empire has become a sea of ​​fire under its ravages, and now it will destroy the lives of countless people here.

People who have never seen war will never understand the horror of it.

In front of this monster, life is as worthless as grass and has no dignity at all. There is only the sound of the sword piercing flesh when old Maxim is chopped down. There are only Aunt Mary's lifeless eyes and the pale cheeks that are gradually fading away the blood, and there is only Xiao Rou.

The bodies of the sister-in-law and the child under her gradually became cold and hard.

Roy misses Tom.

This college, and the life here, should have been shared by Tom and me. Just like what they fantasized about when they were children at the Bolabel training ground, they should sit here side by side, looking at the campus below their feet. Talking about a certain beautiful

The girl was talking, laughing, and looking forward to the future life of a knight in the growing youthful excitement.

It's a pity that all this has become a dream. The dead and the past will never come back. Only in the dream, I stare at the blurry figure with tearful eyes, gradually going away. The further away, the more and more

Can't see clearly.

When I woke up, I was filled with endless thoughts and loneliness.

"Man..." Roy called Tom's name as usual.

"I like it here."

"Although it has only been a short one or two months, I have gained a lot here. More than I imagined."

"Friends, teachers, knowledge. And many treasures."

"We used to say that this is a paradise for knights. Now that I'm here, I find that it really is."

"If there hadn't been this war, I really wanted to stay here forever. I was forced to train by Mr. Kameni. I was yelled at by Mr. Hazen, scolded by Mr. Walder, learned magic patterns from Mr. Williams, and found Gus.

Dean Tars lied to the baby, fought with those stinky nobles, went to trials and adventures with Nicole, Luke and the others..."

"I regret it very much, every day and every night. This was originally the life you and I shared together. But at that time, when I saw you leaving me, I was powerless. I couldn't stop it, I couldn't save it, I couldn't do anything."

"And now, those guys are here again. The Phillies, and the Lanlithians."

"However, we won't lose this time. Man, they still treat us as our old self. Alex was the one who took action last time. This time they simply sent a Justice Knight idiot to challenge us at the gate of the academy every day. But, you

You know, we are much stronger now than before."

Roy stood up and activated the Firewing Soul-Eating Armor.

As the black fire wings behind him flapped, a body shaped like black lightning shot straight into the sky and flew towards the direction of Green Tower Manor.

In the night sky, only the young man's high-spirited voice echoed.

"Tom, I'm going to make them understand that this will be the biggest mistake these idiots have ever made!"

………………

………………

Firewings fly very fast.

Compared to magicians who use levitation, Firewing's speed is like the difference between a bird and a butterfly. In just two minutes, Roy had passed through the brightly lit city of Munich and was in a secluded corner outside the city wall.

Land down.

The disadvantage of the Fire Wing is that the flight time is not long enough. It is fine for climbing over the walls of the academy and Munich, but it is not suitable for long-term flight.

However, when he arrived outside the city, there was no need for Roy to hide his figure. With a gentle touch of his fingers on his chest, the undead unicorn "Living Treasure" had already appeared beside him.

It was suffocated after being locked up in the pendant. As soon as the live treasure was released, it ran around with joy. The appearance of a long-haired and thin horse has no beauty when running. It limped and twisted all over. Compared with the horse market

Even the meanest beasts of burden are not good enough to ride on.

This guy was circling around Roy, deliberately twisting and changing directions, as if he wouldn't let you ride, while secretly looking at Roy's face.

Roy was not bothered and just smiled and reached out to touch the pendant. Upon seeing this action, Huo Bao immediately lost his temper and stepped closer to him with a sad face. He cupped Roy's arm with his long face and bit his clothes with his long mouth.

"Idiot." Roy knocked the creature on the head and jumped on his horse.

Although it was not equipped with a saddle and bridle, Huo Bao could understand it without any movement from Roy. The thin horse Herod shouted and galloped towards the Green Tower Manor with four hooves.

"The young master is back."

Roy had just appeared at the foot of the hillside two miles away from Green Tower Manor, and the manor had already received a report from the secret whistle. The gate was opened quickly, and the torches on the wall, on the lookout and on both sides of the manor road were lit, and everyone was rushing to and fro.

There was a lot of excitement.

When Roy rode his horse into the forest path leading to the manor, all around, slender and vigorous elf hunters showed their running figures. Several war horses roared from the forest, and the knights on the horse

After saluting, he turned his horse's head and guarded the left and right.

The current Green Tower Manor has been completely transformed into a small military base. Thanks to the construction of Kalenich and Percy, although the Green Tower Manor is not inferior to gold, its defense is not much worse than that of an ordinary small castle.

However, no one operates this place as a permanent fortress. The most powerful force here is not the high outer walls and observation towers, but the people who gather here!

After Grandet led the civilians to the new territory in the northeast, the only people left here, besides Maler and Oliver, were more than a hundred elf hunters and six groups who arrived in Lulian one after another and received fighting spirit recovery treatment.

, the total number of knights in the honor camp has reached 179.

The elves are all young people who survived the cruel slave life. They are strong and agile. After this period of rigorous training, they have exerted their elves' talents and grown into excellent hunters.

Their arrows are accurate, their speed is extraordinary, and they have extremely strong abilities of stealth, detection and concealment of battlefield information. All around the Green Tower Manor, no matter whether it is the birds in the sky or the rats in the ground, they can't hide it from their eyes and ears.

And these knights in Rongyang Camp are veterans with strength above the level of justice and rich combat experience. They can charge head-on and make surprise attacks on horseback. Placed anywhere, they are an elite combat force that makes people jealous.

.

If anyone saw Roy at this time, they would probably not be able to believe it. This is the civilian freshman in the college who always wears linen clothes and has messy hair. It is even more unbelievable that he has such a terrifying weapon in his hand.

of armed forces.

You know, under the command of Archduke Adolf, all the knights were concentrated in the Bavarian Knights. After he led the main force to leave, there were only the Munich Guards under Fano and the private armed forces from various places who came to serve in Munich.

These armies are mainly composed of infantry. Although there are not many cavalry and knights, their level of force is much worse than that of the knights in the Rongyang camp.

Now, the Knights of Rongyang Camp have four Great Light Knights, twenty-one Glory Knights and one hundred and four Justice Knights.

Such an elite army, which had searched the entire city of Munich and could not find a second one, was actually hiding in this small manor outside the city. Once the news spread, I don’t know how many people’s eyes and ears were shocked.

jaw!

The sound of hooves was like thunder, and a moment later, Roy was swept into the manor surrounded by knights.

I haven't been back for a few days, and the manor seems much busier than before.

During this period of time, Roy practiced hard in the academy and devoted himself to studying magic patterns, and the knights in the Rongyang camp were not idle either.

In order to restore the condition of these knights who had been away from the battlefield for a long time, Kalenich and Percy not only followed military regulations in terms of training and daily routine, but also specially found a bandit group near Munich to train for them.

For these knights who have experienced hundreds of battles, a long period of idleness cannot obliterate their fighting instinct. In just a few battles, they will be like swords that have been dusted for a long time, blooming sharp edges on the whetstone.

In just half a month, the knights of the Rongyang Battalion had wiped out all the bandits around Munich. What followed was a large number of war horses, weapons and equipment, gold and silver jewelry, food and various supplies.

The entire Green Tower Manor has been turned into a huge warehouse by mountains of loot.

Roy galloped into the manor and dismounted in front of the steps of the small building. Kalenich and Percy were already waiting in front of the small building.

The one who moved faster than them was Oliver, who had gained a lot of fat. He flew past between two pots of flowers on the flower stand, and with the sound of the flower pots falling to the ground and breaking, he was like a wild boar.

Pounced on Roy.

"Stupid dog, slow down!" Fortunately, Roy was prepared and was not knocked out by it. However, he couldn't avoid being licked by this guy's big tongue.

"Okay, okay, I got it," Roy rubbed Oliver's wrinkled and plump skin and put it on the ground, "I'll be there in a minute."

As soon as Oliver landed on the ground, he spun around, looking impatient, and made a threatening sound in a low voice. He opened his mouth and bit Roy's trousers and swung him around, heading towards the front hall of the small building.
To be continued...
