Almost early the next morning, the military camp located on the outskirts of Idar City was crowded with young people who came to enlist in the army.
Completing the registration at the recruitment registration office near Idar City is only the first step in signing up to join the army. They also need to go through a series of strict screenings before they can finally be accepted by the Idar Army.
Although the name of the Idar Navy spread throughout the Idar Territory during the previous Coral Island Naval Battle, this does not mean that the army is unattractive.
On the contrary, the victory of the war and the achievements of the soldiers have increasingly aroused the enthusiasm of these young people to join the army. Regardless of whether it is the navy or the army, as long as they can become an Idar soldier, it is the supreme honor in the hearts of civilians.
.
Moreover, if you really pass all the tests and become an Idar soldier, then you won't have to worry about life at all for the rest of your life.
Not only do they have a large amount of military pay, but all the girls of school age in Idar's territory are eager to have a handsome soldier brother by their side.
So... for their own lives and their own future, almost all qualified Idar people are trying their best to join the army led by Idar.
Perhaps in later generations, some people will worry about personal safety during wars, but in this era... the death rate of soldiers is not much higher than that of serfs and civilians.
It is precisely under the stimulation of these many factors that the Idar people are much more enthusiastic about joining the army than when they established a standing army.
As the commander-in-chief of the Idar Army, this is not the first time that Sam Layton has seen such a heated recruitment scene.
From being a little nervous the first time to his peaceful state of mind now, he has become accustomed to it.
Therefore, in order to respond to the eagerness of these young Idar people to join the army, Sam Layton specially raised the assessment standards and requirements. Presumably... this will make those Idar people who come to apply for the army feel particularly grateful...
…
Unlike the lively scene outside the army barracks, the camp of the Griffin Knights hidden in the foothills of Almis Mountain seemed particularly deserted.
The inaccessible Almis Mountains have long become a place where Bruno hides various secrets.
From the previous magic circle research laboratory, to the magic weapon testing ground, to the current camp of the Griffin Knights, the dense woods in the Almis Mountains have become a natural barrier to hide these secrets, coupled with the soldiers of the Idar Territory
Their guarding on the periphery makes it difficult for others to detect these secrets.
After a week of simple construction, rows of neat houses have been built.
Restaurants, dormitories, conference rooms, study rooms, training venues, and simple pens for griffins to live in... This camp can be said to be small but well-equipped.
According to the current scale of the Idar Griffin Knights, it is definitely not necessary to relocate the entire griffin group.
Therefore, under Bruno's influence, about twenty or thirty griffons moved to this camp belonging to the Griffin Knights, treating this place as their second home.
Bruno's new mount, Puff, the leader of the griffin group, is naturally included.
Whether it was Army Commander Sam Layton or Navy Commander Mal Cullen, except for Bruno, Count of Idar, Krell, Director of the CIA of Idar, and a few members of the expedition team who went to the Asset Basin together,
The existence of the Griffin Knights is not yet known to anyone.
This is a secret force that Bruno hides in the dark, and it is also the team and basis for the official establishment of the Idar Air Force at some point in the future!
At this moment, a team of about twenty or thirty people was entering the camp along the winding path. They were the first members of the Griffin Knights who were formed after layers of selection.
Rolf Hawthorne was fortunate enough to be one of the first gryphon knights to serve in the Order of Idar.
He was originally just an ordinary soldier in Idar's standing army, but by chance, he became a member of the Griffin Knights.
Although he is a gryphon knight, in fact, until now, he has never seen the appearance of a gryphon with his own eyes, and his understanding of gryphons is only limited to the descriptions in books, so... Rolf·
At this time, Hawthorne could hardly restrain his excitement and urgency.
After so many days of preparation, am I... finally going to see the legendary gryphon?
To this day, Rolf Hawthorne still remembers that weird assessment.
Just like the previous assessment to select members of the Idar Bandit Legion and the Idar CIA, in fact, before the assessment, Rolf Hawthorne only knew that the people who passed the selection would perform a secret mission, and as for the purpose of the mission,
The content and difficulty of the tasks are unknown.
Therefore, when a huge wooden runner was placed in the open space in front of the military camp under the personal supervision of Lord Bruno Stuart, Earl of Idar, almost all the soldiers looked confused.
of.
Because that thing... is really very similar to some torture instruments of this era...
The earl's somewhat eccentric way of doing things never disappoints others. When the first soldier participating in the selection was tied to the wheel with a rope, Rolf Hawthorne felt a little frightened.
But... his belief in the Earl and his sincere feelings for the Idar Territory allowed him to persist until the end.
After the candidates were fixed on the wheel, the count's soldiers standing on both sides of the wheel who were already eager to try immediately pushed the wheel to spin quickly.
One lap...
Two laps...
Three laps...
After more than ten rounds, the soldier who was untied felt dizzy, had stars in his eyes, and could hardly even stand still.
But it's not over yet. There is a single-plank bridge on one side of the wheel, which tests the balance ability. The soldiers who are already dizzy have to go straight through the single-plank bridge built on the field to pass the first level.
It is also due to such a strict and strange selection method that among hundreds of candidates, only a few dozen or so can pass all assessments.
After more than two dozen soldiers successfully passed these rigorous assessments, they finally knew the purpose of this selection—an order of gryphon knights that was about to be established!
And they will become gryphon knights flying in the sky in the near future!
The moment Bruno's words reached Rolf Hawthorne's ears, he could hardly believe what he heard...
Griffin!
knight!
Either of these two words is enough for him to look up to, but the earl told him that he will become the future griffin knight of Idarland! How could this not make him extremely excited!
Therefore, after passing the examination, Rolf Hawthorne devoted almost all his leisure time to understanding griffins, their habits, their diet, and cultivating their relationship with griffins...
The gryphon taming methods that Bruno redeemed from the system mall were memorized by him, and they were flawless...
And today,
Under the personal leadership of Bruno,
The members of the Griffin Knights finally arrived at the camp specially built for them, and saw the figure that had lingered in their minds countless times - the Griffin!
