Gosia stood blankly in front of the window of his bedroom, muttering: "Damn it, it's winter again, the military academy will close in half a month, right? Those brats can come out again then.
If you are fooling around, the imperial capital can become lively. But... Is it possible for Mr. Lei to go to the academy to study for half a month? However, this is also a good thing, right? If you just enter the academy directly for nine months,
I may not be able to adapt to the advanced training."
Just as he was talking, Gosia and Groot next door saw an extremely tall figure swaying around almost at the same time. The big man wandered around the playground in front of the main building for a while, holding two beautiful statues and shaking them.
, until the granite base below began to shake, he seemed to let go of his hand helplessly, and walked toward the door unsteadily with both hands. Gothia and Groot jumped up at the same time, and took out their own
With a long sword, he secretly followed Lei towards the door.
It wasn't just the two guards captains who saw Lei's weird actions just now. There were more than fifty guards knights in the entire yard who witnessed Lei's actions. However, seeing the two captains following him in person, only
The four most skilled fifth-level gold knights followed, while the others continued to guard their posts, waiting for the arrival of the knights who had changed their shift during the day.
Early in the morning, only groups of newly formed soldiers from the Five Beast Legion were walking around the city. They were empty-handed, bare-chested, and panting as they ran along the city's avenues.
The city has gained a fresh air of blood. There are businessmen from various countries, traveling scholars or other people who can’t tell what their occupations are. They are walking silently and slowly on the sidewalks of the avenue.
, his eyes flashed, staring at the soldiers who had been training in the early days with all kinds of different lights.
Lei Hehe smiled and looked at the groups of soldiers running quickly, and saw wisps of sweat flowing on their upper bodies in this cold winter morning. A layer of heat enveloped these ordinary soldiers, and their faces were originally ordinary.
The soft lines of the common people have been mixed with some hard and cold elements. Lei thought of the Silver Wolf warriors who fought bloody battles in the Qingfeng Plain, the Five Beast Legions who bravely attacked in the Xili Province, and those who fought in the Qingfeng Plain.
The Vant soldiers fighting side by side with him in Turk Canyon... It won't take long for these seemingly fleshy soldiers to become such an invincible army, right?
Hehe smiled stupidly and stood on the roadside in a pair of underwear for a while, watching. Lei strode towards a building with a majestic scale sign on the vault at the door, and stood under the thirteen-step granite staircase to watch.
After a long time, Lei walked towards a huge bluestone under the stairs. The stone was nearly two meters high and about one meter in diameter. It was covered with various deep and shallow marks made by grinding, as well as some deliberately punched out.
Kong Dong Lei patted the stone for a while with satisfaction, and muttered: "It would be a waste to put such a good thing here, why not just follow me. It seems to have some weight."
In the incomprehensible looks of several well-dressed middle-aged people at the door of the building, Lei hugged the stone, and then yelled crazily: "Get up, I'm here."
With a 'chila' sound, several granite pavement slabs near the stone cracked. Lei simply pulled up the stone. You can see that the stone is still a full meter underground.
How long? Lei held the stone and lifted it up and down several times with his muscles protruding. He grinned and said, "Okay, it's heavy enough. It's heavier than those statues. It's enough for me to use for exercise."
Muscles..."
The Vante recruits passing by nearby cheered loudly, turned around frequently to look at the mighty man, and ran over noisily. The middle-aged men at the top of the steps rushed down with shocked expressions and shouted loudly.
He said: "What are you doing? You, you, you crazy person, what are you doing?"
Lei glared and shouted: "What do you think I am doing? Why do you put a big stone at the gate? Why don't you let me carry it back to exercise, it will be more useful. Otherwise, will you sell this stone?"
It doesn't matter how much you want... I searched half of the street, and the stone at your door is the biggest... Oh, by the way, why do you have a stone pillar at your door?"
Gosia and Groot, who were following far behind, almost fainted. Oh my god, these are pillars set up by various large buildings on the roadside specifically for people to tie horse reins. And the building in front of Lei is the entire
The headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce of the Vantage Empire. All caravans coming to the Vantage Empire must come here to report the status of their goods. All chambers of commerce preparing to do business with foreign countries must also register here. This is the entire Vantage Empire.
commercial center and economic powerhouse.
Before Gosia and the others could run over to resolve the issue, a group of security soldiers wearing black uniforms and strangely tall black helmets rushed over with long swords in their hands, shouting loudly.
He scolded: "You are so brave, you actually dare to cause trouble at the Chamber of Commerce headquarters. Who are you? Where are you from? What is your current address in the imperial capital? What is your name? What do you do?"
If they hadn't seen that Lei's trousers and upper body underwear were made of fine materials, and that his leather boots were also high-top military boots, these soldiers from the security department would have taken Lei away long ago. However,
, even a dog’s eye can use clothing to identify a person’s status, let alone these shrewd, internal security soldiers who are similar to a secret service agency?
They hesitated one by one, looking at the big man holding the stone and horse stakes and refusing to let go. Lei looked at the angry middle-aged men with bulging eyes, complaining to a group of soldiers from the security department.
: "Sir, you must punish this scoundrel. He actually came over early in the morning and made trouble at the entrance of our chamber of commerce headquarters. He must be out of his mind. Look, he is still holding on to a stone. It must be
There’s something wrong with my head.”
The squadron leader of the security department slowly stepped forward and asked in a cautious tone: "Sir, please answer our questions. And why did you go to the entrance of the chamber of commerce's headquarters to cause trouble?
The value of the stone is not very great. It won't be valuable if you take it away. Why don't you put it down first?" He looked at Lei holding this thing that weighed at least three to four thousand kilograms, but his face was relaxed.
His appearance made me feel a little trembling in my heart. How could such a strong man capture him? Once such a stone was thrown down, ten of them would not be able to bear it.
Lei finally spoke: "How much does this stone cost? I'll buy it...don't you say it's not valuable? Then I might as well just take it away. I'll pay for this road board. It's not expensive anyway."
." Lei took it for granted that these road boards were not very valuable, because last time he broke so many road boards, he only paid three gold coins as compensation.
The black shadow flashed for a few times, and several young men in high-end attire, who looked like noble gentlemen, walked over quickly and whispered a few words in the ear of the guard squadron leader. The middle man
The captain's face immediately became humble, and gradually he almost knelt down to Lei. While Lei was looking at the performance of the squadron leader in confusion, Gosia had already led the people over quickly, and met with those few
A young man greeted him familiarly.
After a while of explanation, the people from the Chamber of Commerce were happy to let Lei carry away the huge stone. The young men, the spies from the security department, respectfully greeted Lei and made an appointment with Gosia and the others, smiling.
He led the soldiers from the security department and walked away.
Lei carried the stone pillar on his shoulders and walked towards home, frowning and asking: "Gosia, what time did those people agree with you?"
Gosia smiled: "Sir, they are our friends. We said that we would invite them to have a drink when we are free."
Lei laughed, gently lifted the stone pillar up two feet, then caught it and put it on his shoulders, and said with a smile: "I see, I thought you were a secret agent of the Security Department like them.
"Yeah." Lei said it unintentionally, but Gothia and Groot's expressions were a bit unnatural, and they could only smile beside them.
When Jerry rushed into Lei's compound with his subordinates, he saw Lomat standing blankly by the fountain, watching Lei juggle the huge blue stone there. Just look at it.
A clear ball of light made a whistling sound, flying continuously from Lei's arm, and then hit his back muscles heavily, causing the muscles to remove the
A huge impactful 'pop' sound.
Jerry and a group of personal knights were dumbfounded and could not speak. After a long time, Jerry shook his head and sighed: "No matter what, I will not compete with this guy for strength. Hehe, when I saved him in Qingfeng Plain,
When he was there, this kid was just a physically stronger hunter, but now... tsk tsk, he's like a legendary unbeatable dragon."
Loma saw Jerry and the others coming in, and quickly walked over to say hello. Jerry smiled and threw the reins in his hands to the captain of his personal guard. Looking at Loma's frail face, he asked: "Loma
Te, how are things going at home? Your father is now a Viscount, so he should have received a lot of benefits, right?"
Lomat smiled faintly: "Fortunately, he was originally an ordinary clerk, and now he has become the chief officer of their office. He has finally been promoted to a level, but my father doesn't have much interest in being an official.
Interested, I don’t want to climb too high... I still have to worry about you... Mr. Lei, Mr. Jerry is here. You should prepare yourself and at least change your clothes? We are going to the Supreme Military Academy of the Imperial Capital.
, I’ll contact you about admissions.”
Lei threw the boulder in his hand into the sky indiscriminately, laughed and walked towards Jerry and the others. Amid the extremely distorted faces of several gardeners who were watching the fun, the boulder flew towards a flower bed, destroying the cold-resistant plants inside.
The woody ornamental tree was smashed into a mess.
Ten minutes later, Lei, who had put on a neat uniform and his broad sword, rode horses side by side with Jerry and rushed out of the compound. Behind the two people, there were more than sixty senior officials in total.
There were about twenty personal bodyguard knights wearing gorgeous gold light armor. They looked very grand, and they looked a bit like a noble traveling in style.
Lei Zai was circling his head desperately on his horse, curiously looking at the pedestrians on the road, as well as the small traders who began to carry goods to their shops, and exclaimed: "It's so cold, do they still do business? And it's still...
In the open air, doesn’t the imperial capital have a centralized market? Otherwise, they might as well open small shops like that on the roadside.”
Jerry sighed: "The big markets are all in the West District. They are just small businessmen that are convenient for nearby residents, hotels and restaurants. The weather is a bit colder, but it's not that unbearable. What's more,
, in order to make money, these traders don't care too much about these things... Well, Lei, look, the tall tower over there is the highest military academy in the empire. Hehe, I still had Gaddafi back then.
The old man fooled around from there. But I am better than him. I seriously obtained an excellent transcript. He got the transcript after beating the dean of the college severely."
Lei stared blankly at the towering round spire and asked, "How many students are there in the college? If I go in now, I can't have classes with them, right?"
Jerry shrugged: "The Supreme Military Academy is divided into nine grades. From the lowest kid to the highest level knight, there are more than 20,000 students in total. It is also the largest academy in the entire empire. Lei
, don’t think too much, anyway, there is still half a month left, the college will have its year-end holiday, and those students who have worked hard for a year will also go home to spend the New Year’s holiday. You are going to test your level today.
, let’s see which grade you are assigned to. Then there will be specialized teachers to tutor you in your cultural knowledge. Everything will be fine, don’t worry.”
Lei was extremely anxious and followed Jerry forward until he reached the gate of the college, which was sandwiched between two towering sentry towers. This was a large building complex with green walls covered with
The vines look very old and outdated, but those college soldiers with bright armor and high spirits standing at the door add a fresh and energetic atmosphere to this ancient building complex.
Two middle-aged men wearing blood-red cloaks and uniforms of the Imperial Military Department were already standing at the door waiting. Seeing Lei and the others passing by, the middle-aged man on the left quickly said: "I am the Military Department."
Carl Si, the affairs officer, this is my companion Bit, two distinguished adults, we have been ordered to assist General Lei in completing all the procedures for his enrollment."
Jerry nodded arrogantly, waved his hand casually and said: "Well, Carl, please, please lead the way. There shouldn't be too many procedures, right?" These two people are just ordinary affairs officers, and
None of them had their own title, so Jerry showed no respect for them at all in front of them.
Carl Si quickly replied: "Yes, sir, please, please come with us. Lord Lei's admission procedure is actually very simple. You only need to measure his level of martial arts and tactics, and then you can arrange the best for him."
The instructor provided guidance."
Lei Weng said angrily: "What tactics? I don't understand tactics at all, so I may have to start from the lowest grade. I'm sorry."
Carls and Bit looked a little embarrassed. They pretended not to hear what Lei said and led them into the academy with smiles on their faces. The soldiers standing guard at the gate looked at them with reverence and envy.
Looking at Ray and Jerry, their eyes flashed with a kind of fanatical light that can only be exuded by passionate young people. They naturally knew who Ray and Jerry were. The secret battle report of the Vant Empire had been circulated throughout the army and aristocratic circles.
Rumors spread, among which the achievements of Ray and Jerry were exaggerated by more than a hundred times. For example, Ray alone hacked to death more than thirty of Bicester's Bear Riders... Therefore, these soldiers have long been
Worshiped them like gods.
They ordered a few bodyguard knights to guard the horses at the gate of the college. Ray and Jerry led a large number of bodyguard knights and followed Carls and the others in. Jerry smiled in a low voice and said: "Lei, you have to do this in the future."
Attention, here, it is rare to meet female knights, but if you meet a woman, then she must be the most difficult one, so... There is an unwritten rule in the Supreme Military Academy of the Imperial Capital
, Never fight with a woman of your own level, because you are probably no match for her."
Lei's eyes widened and he muttered: "Women? They may not be my opponents. I can kill them with one fist."
Jerry frowned, shook his head and said: "Ray, I believe you can even hurt Bobcat with one fist, but you have to be able to hit others. What you have learned is the simplest kind of desperate
Moves are not of much use in duels. In competitions, the gorgeous swordsmanship is still useful."
They bypassed a veranda with hundreds of huge stone pillars and walked along a broken granite road towards a tall original stone building. Lei looked at the broken stone slabs on the ground in confusion and asked: "Jerry
, didn’t you say that the empire invests a huge amount of money in the military academy every year? But the roads here have not been repaired? "
Just as Jerry was about to answer, there was a scream, and a guy wearing heavy red armor had been smashed out of a small square square on the side of the road, and he fell to the road in a panic.
With a few clicks, a stone slab was immediately crushed into pieces.
Jerry sighed, pointed at the guy who couldn't move for a long time and said: "Did you see it? This road is the famous 'Duel Road' of the college. There are more than thirty specially opened competition fields on both sides of the road, so that these
Guys with excess energy need to vent their energy, so it is natural that the facilities here cannot guarantee their integrity. Instead of spending money to build roads, it would be more cost-effective to spend money to buy a few more sets of armor to save their lives."
I only saw the young man who stood in the venue and showed off his power for a while, quickly rushed out of the venue, stepped on the chest of the unlucky man, and scolded in a low voice: "Okay, you are not allowed to pester Jenny anymore.
Otherwise I will beat you every time I see you."
The guy in the red armor snorted and roared in a low voice: "Don't be so arrogant. I won't be able to look good on you until my boss, who is an intern at the Silver Wolf Legion, comes back."
Lei Ze was so bluffing that he shouted: "Jerry, that guy's boss is your subordinate, or a trainee officer. You should have some skills, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two dueling guys quickly got up and knelt down respectfully on the ground. They saw the meaning of the uniforms on Ray and Jerry, and at the same time they also saw the large number of military officers with extremely high ranks.
For high-level bodyguard knights, it is very beneficial for student knights like them who have not yet graduated to maintain absolute respect in front of the official knights of the army.
Lei shook his head and sighed: "These guys, hehe... But this is a good way to improve their strength, Jerry. Let them fight hundreds of duels every day, and every one of them will definitely be able to fight after going to the battlefield.
How many more enemies should I kill?"
Jerry kept his noble and dignified manner and walked forward without looking away, not looking at the chirping students who gradually gathered around and stood on the edge of the road. He whispered: "Isn't it right? The college originally
Just encourage them to provoke others... There are also dedicated tutors to create some small conflicts between students and let them fight. For example, if an unlucky guy loses a duel, then it is likely that the toilet in the college will
There will be a period of time under his exclusive care."
Lei showed a weird smile: "So, everyone must be competing first?"
Jerry nodded slightly and murmured in a low voice: "There are even more despicable tricks to deal with these cute guys, such as deliberately recruiting a few beautiful knights into the academy, and then letting them compete for the glory and have random duels. Anyway, in the academy
As long as you don't die, even if you are seriously injured, you will be treated by the best doctors. So, generations of students have grown up in the bloody storm. Every year, the empire gives the Imperial City students a quota of 200 people, which means that 200 people can die.
Quota.”
Lei was a little stunned. This kind of training method is really cruel, but it is also the most effective way, right? If he hadn't fought those beasts in the mountains, how could he have such a good physical foundation? However,
This hellish college life should have nothing to do with me. After all, my current strength is something that those students cannot resist.
Just as Lei was turning his head full of ghosts, a smooth voice came over: "Ah, dear cousin, have you finally come to visit our poor college? Jerry, my cousin,
Don’t you know how important national affairs you have to deal with when you come here this time?”
Jerry suddenly stopped and turned to look at the big square on the right side of the road. He shouted in a deep voice: "Jerry, what do you want to do? Are you provoking me?"
Jerry, who had a smooth face, shook his body and squeezed out of the crowd with seven or eight companions who were also descendants of the nobles. His two small eyes turned to the sky and he said slowly: "Cousin, I
How dare I provoke you? You are the distinguished commander of the Silver Wolf Legion, how can I dare to provoke you? Even the Mr. Lei next to you, although he is an idiot who does not know a word, is also a mad dragon after all.
Commander of the legion, how dare I insult the general of the empire?"
Lei's fist made a "crack, click, click" sound, and he shouted ferociously: "Jerry boy, who do you think is an idiot?"
A graceful voice rang out: "Oh, my God, Mr. Lei, you must not blame Viscount Jerry, I told him to say so. To me, you rely on luck to climb to the top of the world.
A person in a high position is just a fool, nothing more than a very lucky fool... Your strength is not even as good as one of my bodyguards, so what is there to be proud of?"
A middle-aged man with wavy golden curly hair, a face full of fatigue from excessive drinking, and a body that was almost frail appeared under the protection of a group of knights. He smiled and shook the red rose in his hand, deliberately not looking at it.
Lei glanced at him and said hello to Jerry: "Aha, Count Jerry, you are a good friend of Sir Milomi, right? Yes? By the way, my subordinate knight wants to challenge your friend, is that okay?
?Of course, of course, it is not a duel of life and death, but a competition of martial arts. It should be legal, right?"
Jerry looked at the middle-aged man with a livid face, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Marquis Karibou, if you don't have a good rest in your hotel, why are you here? What authority do you have to enter the Imperial Military Academy?
"
Jerry yelled in a fuss: "Oh my god, cousin, Mr. Kari is my friend. I was sick recently and he came to the academy to visit me. This is completely in line with the rules... I heard that General Lei
He has strong martial arts skills, so Lord Coca, the most powerful person under Lord Ou, wants to compete with General Lei. Do you object?"
Facing countless academy students around him, Lei took a heavy step and muttered: "Damn it, Jerry, you said you wanted to vent your anger on Milomi's behalf, right? Watch me beat this bastard."
Jerry sighed softly and murmured in his heart: "Damn it, if we want to vent our anger on Milomi, we can do it secretly. Why bother to have a conflict with the son of Duke Calibeon in public now?"
..Good boy, Jerry, just wait and see, are you deliberately trying to lose my face?"
A lean, middle-aged man wearing green armor, who was only a fist shorter than Lei, slowly walked out and stood coldly in front of Lei.
