A strong wind swept in from the southwest, and the strong wind with a strong smell of sea blew away the dark clouds in the sky.
The sky that had not been seen for a long time suddenly appeared, and the sun shone all over the earth. The golden-red sun shone on the reddish clouds, and the warm sunshine made people feel happy. The heat of the sun nourished the body, completely dispelling the coldness of midwinter from the body.
The sky is slightly red, and the white clouds also have a hint of red. The legend is just a folk tale secretly circulated on the mainland. A long time ago, before the destruction calendar, the sky was blue and the clouds were white.
Sexy. But as long as someone dares to spread such folk tales, the church's stake will be the final destination for his entire family.
So now very few people know about the existence of 'Blue Sky and White Clouds', which is really such an ancient legend. If the Black Tiger family hadn't preserved some slate books and clay tablets left before the destruction of the calendar, Lin Qi would not have known these anecdotes.
Strange things.
The light red sky and the light red clouds. Lin Qi took a deep breath. There is a strange power in the sunshine. This power comes from the red sky and clouds. It is said that as long as the strength is enough,
High, as long as humans can reach the level of a great knight, humans can fly into the sky for a short time.
There once was a great knight who flew into the sky with the help of fighting spirit. He saw an orange sky above the red sky, and a yellow sky above the orange sky. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, these are those
The layering of the sky seen by the Great Celestial Knight. The strange thing is that the color of the fighting spirit cultivated by the warriors exactly corresponds to the color of the sky, so there is the saying of the Nine Colors and the Nine Heavens.
Lin Qi looked up at the sky, imagining how beautiful the purple sky would be high up in the sky, but the sound of armor clashing around him shattered his reverie. He was wearing a set of rune soft armor and a waist belt.
Enzo, who was stabbing his sword, strode over, pointed at a group of people on the dock and whispered: "His Royal Highness Latus and the others are here to see him off."
This is the exclusive royal dock in the Imperial Capital dock area. A large pond ten miles long and wide has been dug out manually. On weekdays, a squadron of the Imperial Navy is stationed here, protected by twelve main battleships and dozens of subsidiary battleships.
The waters of the imperial capital are safe. There are also three luxury passenger ships exclusively for the royal family stationed here all year round. The royal passenger ship, which is several times wider than the largest main battleship in the empire, is like three hills floating in the distance.
The ship Lin Qi and the others were on was an imperial ministry-standard inland river and shallow sea transport barge. The side of this ship was very shallow and the waterline was not deep. The deck was extremely wide and long, and it was specially used to transport soldiers in inland rivers and shallow sea areas.
and military baggage.
There are currently ten such special transport barges docked at the Royal Pier. A large amount of military baggage is piled on them. There are even thousands of soldiers standing neatly on the deck. This type of barge is one hundred meters long and twenty meters wide.
Each ship can easily transport thousands of soldiers and a large amount of supplies.
At the moment, there are 3,000 elite Imperial Imperial Guards on board the ship, as well as 3,000 fourth-year students from the Imperial Army Academy who participated in this actual combat exercise and the foreign aid they recruited, and hundreds of outstanding third-year students from the Army Academy who were allowed to visit and perform.
Accompanying. In addition, a task force composed of 300 elite Imperial Guardsmen occupied one barge alone, and a mercenary army composed of 500 orcs occupied another barge.
Because of Stein's proposal, the emperor also believed that the students of the Army Academy were able to break out into conflicts with ordinary citizens at the school gate. This represented that the younger generation of soldiers in the empire had forgotten their responsibilities and obligations. They had forgotten what it means to be a real soldier.
.
So five hundred orcs were sent out, and the empire's senior officials wanted to use these orcs to give these future elite officers of the empire a good beating. Because of the participation of these five hundred orcs, the death quota allowed for this actual combat exercise was increased to 100%.
Thirty, which means that the empire's top officials allowed the death of seven elite Army Academy students this time!
There is no doubt that this actual combat exercise is infinitely close to actual combat! Whether you return from the exercise venue alive and with great honors, or die in humiliation on the exercise venue, this is the time to see your true skills.
What's the point of being brave and ruthless in the academy on weekdays? When a group of fully armed orcs appear in front of you and can chop these orcs into pieces with a sword, you are a truly qualified imperial elite! If you can't even use a sword against the orcs
If you don’t have the courage, then what qualifications do you have to put on that military uniform?
Even Zuo Lin and others, who were hit with bricks by Lin Qi with broken bones and tendons, returned to the team after recovering from their injuries! His Majesty the Emperor specially allocated a batch of secret medicine from the royal treasury to make these unlucky people recover in just one day.
Health! The personal information of these unlucky people was placed on the desk of His Majesty the Emperor. The Emperor already knew them well!
There is still a punishment order issued by the Military Disciplinary Office of the Imperial Guard hanging over their heads. If they can kill a considerable number of orcs in this actual combat exercise, then they can avoid the punishment of the Military Disciplinary Office! If they cannot complete the rules formulated for them by the Emperor and Stann
If they have a combat goal, then their future will be bleak and they will never be able to raise their head in the empire in this life.
It is said that the emperor once cursed loudly in front of many high-ranking officials in the Palace of Victory: "These bastards, if they have the strength and courage to beat the people of the empire, then of course they can beat a group of orcs who are inferior to bastards! If these little bastards
If they can't complete this actual combat exercise beautifully...their father and grandfather's fiefdom, they can consider reducing part of it!"
His Majesty the Emperor was also an iron-blooded emperor who fought bloody battles on the battlefields of the mainland and island wars. When he opened his mouth to curse, his words were similar to those of a street gangster. Every time he uttered obscene words, it was when he was extremely angry.
When the word 'bastard' spewed out from His Majesty the Emperor's noble mouth, the empire's ministers knew that if Zuo Lin and this group of students could not put up a good fight in actual combat exercises, not only would their future be bleak, they would also have a bleak future.
The family is also doomed! His Majesty the Emperor will definitely cut off a large piece of their family's fiefdom. If a noble family does not have a fiefdom, is it still considered a noble?
So Lin Qi could feel the vicious eyes of Hei Mahaus and Zuo Lin on the adjacent barge. Hundreds of students stared at Lin Qi, wishing to cut him into pieces. Lin Qi pretended not to notice this.
He just leaned on the side of the boat and waved enthusiastically to Latus, Titian and his group on the pier.
"Your Highness, we will definitely win this time. You must keep an eye on His Highness Maris and don't let him default on his debt!"
Already about to set off, Lin Qi was still thinking about the money he and Maris had bet against. Those were the gold coins he scraped together. If he won, he would be a rich man even in the imperial capital! If he
Lost...ah, how could Lin Qi lose?
Latus laughed loudly. He stood on the pier and waved behind him. A beautiful girl wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a white dress slowly walked up and handed a handful of bloody thorns, which symbolized victory.
The flower was thrown at Lin Qi. This is a folk custom in the Western continent. When warriors go to war, pure girls present bloody thorn flowers, which can bring good luck to the warriors!
Lin Qi took the thorn flower and took a big sip. The floral aroma of the thorn flower was very strange, the smell of a mixture of iron and blood. This smell was as strong as tobacco, and Lin Qi's spirit suddenly lifted.
Latus took the girl's little hand and laughed loudly at Lin Qi: "Lin Qi, this is my sister, the youngest and most beautiful little princess in the empire! If you can kill all the enemies and get first place, I will
Introduce you to her!"
Lin Qi's eyes lit up, and he shouted subconsciously: "Your sister? Can you exchange it for gold coins? For example, if I win first place, will you give me 10 million gold coins?"
The crowded Royal Pier suddenly became dead silent, and everyone who came to see him off looked blankly.
Latus' sister, the youngest and most beautiful princess in the empire, Princess Frey, known as the flower of the empire, Latus personally introduced Lin Qi to her. What is the purpose of this? Even a pig can think of it with his butt.
Can you understand? But as for Lin Qi, for ten million gold coins, he actually gave up this opportunity! Could it be that in his heart, His Royal Highness, the most beautiful and lovely princess in the empire, was rewarded with half of it by His Majesty the Emperor when she was just born?
As a noble grand duchess in the province, she is not worth ten million gold coins?
What is the annual tax revenue of half the province? If you can win the heart of His Highness Fleur, what is a mere ten million gold coins?
What idiot would say such a thing?
Latus's face turned ashen, and he looked at Lin Qi tremblingly, almost fainting.
The pretty face of Princess Frei, who had just thrown the bloody thorn flower to Lin Qi in embarrassment, turned red. She shouted angrily, and suddenly a strong green halo of fighting energy appeared on her body. She grabbed Latu
Si and Titian, threw them heavily into the water. Then she pointed at Lin Qi fiercely, turned around and left angrily. Along the way, several noble young people came up to try to comfort her, but she punched her three times.
He was beaten so hard that he vomited blood and fell to the ground.
"I, what's wrong with me?" Lin Qi looked at Enzo standing next to him blankly.
Enzo hurriedly took a few steps back, shook his head vigorously, and shouted loudly to the countless nobles and common people on the dock: "I don't know this guy, really, I was just recruiting foreign aid at the market, and I accidentally recruited him
!I don’t know this guy!”
Many guards jumped into the water and rescued Latus and Titian onto the pier in embarrassment. The two stared at Lin Qi with murderous eyes, howling at the top of their lungs: "Lin Qi, you bastard,
We were killed by you! Bastard, is ten million gold coins worth one of Fleur's hairs?"
Lin Qi spread his hands. In his heart, a stunning beauty like Ya Heling could barely compete with 100 million gold coins, but Fleur, although she has good looks, she can only compete with 10 million gold coins at most.
!
In the midst of this chaos, Stein, who was presiding over the actual combat drill, shouted loudly, and the barges started to move down the river.
