I don’t know whether it’s God’s blessing or not, but just an hour before the official start of the “Blue Iris” exercise, snowflakes began to slowly fall in the sky, and they soon became faster and denser. It can be regarded as a full simulation of the blue sky in the late winter in the future.
The actual battlefield situation that Jingcheng is about to face.
And among the snowflakes falling like goose feathers, Mrs. Hanquan and Dean Figaro, the two real leaders of Azurite City, slowly walked up to the viewing platform arranged on a gentle slope under the attention and salute of all the officers and soldiers participating in the exercise.
.And behind the two of them, they quietly followed other powerful people such as Cruyff, Miguel, and De Pla.
This is the first time that Moriarty has seen the true form of the city lord. In the past, Mrs. Hanquan has always lived in seclusion and did not like to show up in public. Even though Moriarty has been in Azurite City for a few years, he has never been able to see the "true face of Mount Lu"
”.
Much like the rumors, Mrs. Hanquan looks like a gentle middle-aged lady, both graceful and noble. Especially the gorgeous sky blue dress she wears, with a perfect heart on her chest.
The flawless heart-shaped brilliant sapphire made Moriarty really think that he had met a top lady from the aristocratic circle of Erathia.
In stark contrast to the city lord, Dean Figaro was still wearing a mysterious dark blue brilliant star robe, his eyes were closed, and he was walking steadily half a body behind Mrs. Hanquan.
The two people walked up the steps slowly, laughing and talking about something in a low voice. The scene was peaceful and quiet, and it didn't seem like they were about to observe a hot-blooded military exercise.
However, in addition to the above big figures, there was also a short figure that also attracted the attention of more than a thousand soldiers around him.
It was a little girl with long sapphire blue hair. She was about five or six years old. She was wearing a white baby doll dress. She seemed not afraid of the cold outside. The girl held the hand of Mrs. Hanquan and followed her step by step.
They walked towards the rostrum together, and at the same time glanced at the soldiers around them from time to time.
"The city lord's daughter? An apprentice? Or a child from a neighboring neighborhood?"
Everyone was constantly speculating about this little girl they had never seen before. They also didn’t understand why Mrs. Hanquan would bring such a minor to such an occasion. However, even though gossips were everywhere at this moment,
The expression on each soldier's face still maintained a serious and solemn expression.
There are only four seats on the auditorium, and the two in the middle naturally belong to Mrs. Hanquan and Dean Figaro. The other seats are unexpectedly given to the blue-haired girl and the older Master Depra.
It seems that this is another form of respecting the elderly and caring for the young. However, as a result, the two bosses of the city defense army could only stand and watch the entire exercise.
"Haha, our Blue Crystal City is really in full military glory." She sat on the high seat and helped the little girl on the left to sit in her seat. Mrs. Hanquan looked at the large military formations neatly arranged down the slope and chuckled.
For some reason, such a light word from the city lord seemed to be transmitted clearly into the cochlea of every soldier like countless invisible loudspeakers, as if the speaker was right in front of him.
"Yes, it is indeed good." Similarly, Dean Figaro's comments were clearly heard by everyone. Of course, no one would be dissatisfied or slack off just because they saw the great arcanist closing his eyes.
"So, today's first exercise. Which two armies does it belong to?" Mrs. Hanquan's smile did not diminish, she glanced around slowly and asked.
"It's the Shaluman Brigade of the city defense army versus the guard squadron of the Blue Mage Regiment." From the side, Miguel immediately took a step forward and respectfully reported.
"Ha. It's really a 'coincidence'. I can see your guard squadron in the first scene." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Hanquan smiled again, turned to the dean on the right and said.
"Yes, it's really a coincidence." Figaro smiled in agreement, but said nothing else.
"I heard that the commander of the guard squadron is the genius alchemist from the academy, Moriarty. Is that right? Speaking of which, when the Earth Studio contributed the armor-breaking series of alchemy blueprints to the City Lord's Mansion two years ago, I
I really wanted to meet this valuable young man. Unexpectedly, the first time we met, he turned out to be a soldier."
"Young people always need more experience in order to grow." Figaro followed up slowly.
"You are right." Mrs. Hanquan nodded, and then said to Miguel: "Call the two commanders Moriarty and Saluman here."
"Yes, sir." A trace of doubt flashed in Miguel's eyes. He didn't know what the mayor was going to do, but it didn't affect his immediate promise.
"Moriarty, Shahruman, come to the rostrum and report!" Immediately, Miguel walked a few steps to the rostrum and shouted at the dense queue of soldiers below. The shouts were like rolling thunder.
It swept across the entire training ground in a flash, and even the heavy falling snowflakes were shaken and drifted away by the violent sound waves.
After hearing the order, Moriarty and Saruman came out of their respective teams almost at the same time and ran quickly to the high platform. Moreover, it seemed that in order to get ahead of his opponent, Saruman sprinted forward with all his strength, without any thought at all.
Let others have any chance to surpass themselves. Seeing this, Moriarty did not fight, but continued his own pace and ran to the podium.
"See the Lord of the City, see the Dean." Shahruman and Moriarty stood about one meter apart and greeted the two superiors loudly.
On such an occasion, even an unruly Shahruman could not help but feel a little excited and slightly nervous. However, Moriarty remained calm and composed as usual, and his slightly rude eyes lingered on Mrs. Hanquan.
So few moments.
"Haha, both commanders are so young and promising, and their strength is extraordinary. Very good. It seems that in this battle in the south, we, Blue Crystal City, are not afraid of any enemies." He glanced at the two of them respectively.
, Mrs. Hanquan praised with a smile.
"Thank you for the compliment, sir." Although they knew it was a formal statement, but it came from the city lord's mouth, no one dared to neglect it and immediately thanked him.
"Lord City Lord, I will certainly live up to your expectations for my humble position. I will fight bravely on the battlefield and bring out the majesty of Azurite City." However, unlike Moriarty's concise words, Shahruman immediately added another word after thanking him.
Add a sentence.
"It's majestic. Okay, I like it very much." Mrs. Hanquan was not dissatisfied with Shahruman's rash remarks. Instead, she praised: "However, this war is an all-out battle between the south and the north.
There will also be powerful armies from other city-states, so you have to be careful not to be outdone."
"Please rest assured, Lord City Lord, our Blue Crystal City Defense Force has always been well-trained and powerful, and is definitely not comparable to some other no-names!" At this point, Shahruman even turned his head to Moriarty intentionally, with an arrogant and arrogant attitude.
However, Mrs. Hanquan still seemed to turn a blind eye to this scene: "Since your two teams have been selected as the two sides for the first battle exercise, you must go all out."
"Yes, Lord City Lord."
"Well, for this first exercise, how about we come up with some bonuses?" Mrs. Hanquan clapped her hands lightly, and suddenly turned to Figaro.
"A very good idea." Dean Hockenheim nodded, paused, and took out an emerald green gemstone ring from his sleeve: "This magic ring is called 'Cold Green', and it can store a first-level magic ring with any attribute.
Spells and mind triggers are my small rewards for the winners in the future."
"Mind trigger?" Upon hearing these four words, not only Saluman and Moriarty's expressions changed, but even Miguel on the side could not help but stare.
The so-called mind triggering means simply relying on your mind to activate magic equipment.
As we all know, most magic props have strict restrictions on the users. In addition to being a mage professional, they also need to have a corresponding strength level and rely on magic power to trigger. But for ordinary people,
Even if I have an incredible high-level magic item in hand, I still can't activate it and I can only stare at it.
But the "cold green" in front of me is a rare "mind-triggered" magic item. Although it can only fill one first-level spell, it can be used by anyone. You can imagine, if this
What kind of benefit will the magic ring have if it falls into the hands of a pure warrior like Miguel or Saruman? Just ask the mage to pre-store a magic ring in "cold green", such as breath of wind, petrified skin, or even muddy footsteps.
With a first-level spell, a warrior is equivalent to carrying a "mage nanny" with him 24 hours a day, and the joy and praise in it cannot be summed up in just one or two sentences.
"Haha, Hockenheim is still so rich. Not to mention the two of them, even I am a little jealous of such a good fortune." Mrs. Hanquan glanced at "Leng Green" who was gently handed over to her hand, and joked:
"As for my reward, I will give the winning team the honor of naming their own number."
"Name the number!" He was deeply shocked by "Leng Cui", but as soon as he heard Mrs. Hanquan's words, Shahruman's eyes suddenly turned red.
In the existing sequence of the Blue Crystal City City Defense Army, the official numbers of each brigade and squadron are actually marked with numbers. For example, the official name of Shahruman's brigade is the Third Combat Brigade of the City Defense Army, but usually everyone
The Shahruman Brigade in his mouth is just a "Jianghu Bandit" that he refers to indiscriminately by pointing to the "commander's name". Now, once Lady Hanquan awards the winner the honor of naming himself, Shahruman can justifiably call the "Third Battle"
The designation of "Brigade" was changed to "Saruman Brigade". And even if Shahruman himself retires from the army in the future, this brigade designation will always be retained. Therefore, for a soldier who values honor more than life, "naming the designation"
Although the reward is not as real as "Cold Green", it has a different kind of attraction. People have to fight for it. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
