Early the next morning, the Holk College team set off on time and headed east to Holk City. The transport captain's team was also repaired and continued north to the front line.
The two teams who had fought side by side stood at the crossroads outside Iron Wall City and said goodbye to each other.
"Little girl, thank you very much. Without you, we don't know how many of us would have survived." The captain said to Ofina.
"I just did what I should do." Ofina replied.
The captain nodded approvingly. "The merits of the brothers who died in the war have been converted into gold coins and given to their families. We have collected some more, which is enough for them to live on. You don't have to worry. It's normal for people to die in war, so you should be more open-minded."
"This shield belongs to my old friend. Although it is heavy, it is of good quality. Little girl, I will give it to you as a souvenir." The captain handed the steel shield he carried to Rogge, "Here, Rogge is Come on, hold it for your sister."
"Uncle Captain, why are you so embarrassed?" Ofina said politely.
"It doesn't matter. I exchanged my military exploits for a better one." The captain took out a new shield from the space ring and showed it off, "How is it? Not bad, right? Hahahaha."
"Not bad, not bad, uncle captain, I have nothing to give you, just collect some gold coins." Ofina took out 11 gold coins in one breath, one for a fallen soldier, and handed it to the captain.
"No, no, no, keep it for yourself, you will need the money even more. If you really want to give it away, just give these boys another blessing. They will never forget the blessing of you, a little angel."
Ofina agreed and released blessing spells for the soldiers one by one. "Then I wish you good health and long life and never die!"
The soldiers were very happy to see the slight blue light. This was the best blessing they had ever received.
"Bye now!"
The dragon and horse raised their hooves, and the two convoys separated.
In the lead car of the Holk College motorcade, Ofina took the shield from Rogge and gave it to Lunt.
"Big stupid bear, come on, it's so heavy."
Lunt took the heavy shield with one hand, "Wow, did you give it to me?"
"You think beautifully."
"Sister, I don't have any money, so just give it to me."
"Who is your eldest sister? How old am I? You are shameless! Keep accounts and keep accounts. This is a rare and mid-level shield. I will only charge you 5 gold coins. Is it cheap enough?" Ophina thought in her mind. The sound of the beating was loud, but it was not too expensive. In the future, Lunt would have to carry it and be beaten. If it was too expensive, it would easily affect his enthusiasm.
"Really? Sister, I will hang out with you from now on." No, Big Stupid Bear Lunt took the bait directly.
Lunt caressed the shield, which was covered with battle scars but still strong, and grinned. The rare and mid-level shield only costs 5 gold coins, which is really nice.
…
The Lord's Mansion of Iron Wall City.
"Lord City Lord, the convoy of Holk College left the city an hour ago." Knight Commander Jeff said.
"Very good. The military exploits produced in the territory are hard-earned. Master Duruko will be very interested in it." Viscount Porter said.
"Sir, how are you going to do this? It's a serious crime to embezzle military exploits."
"It's hard to use the combat exploits of the living, but you can always get some of the dead. Besides, we can add Mr. Duruko to the Holk Academy's fleet, highlight his role, and allocate more combat exploits. Du Mr. Lu Ke has just left Iron Wall City a few days ago, so the time can barely match." Viscount Potter calculated.
"But sir, needless to say, those in the transport team are all minor players. What about the people from Holk College who participated in the battle? With senior teacher William present, it may be difficult to bribe them, right?" Jeff said.
"Leave the affairs of Holk Academy to Young Master Duluco. The people in the transportation team are small roles, and the children who have not even grown their hair are the same for Young Master Duluco who is about to inherit the position of Duke. A small role. With such rich military exploits, Young Master Duluco will not find it troublesome." Potter said.
"Your Excellency, you are right. If this matter is done, with the support of Durco, we..." Jeff stopped and looked around, lowering his voice, "There is hope for our matter. .”
"Hmph, isn't that why we took refuge in that arrogant and arrogant Mr. Truco? Jeff, quickly notify the Military Secret Service and our people will revise the battle report before it is filed. The Military Supplies Department will also try to bribe or threaten a few people. Record the military exploits. And the Prosecution Office, well... inform Mr. Duruko immediately, the Prosecution Office can easily be solved with the power of his duke."
"Yes, my lord is wise, I will do it right now." Jeff nodded and left with a sinister smile on his face. Threatening people was his favorite thing.
…
The biological gathering places in the Hess continent can be roughly divided into six levels according to their size: villages, towns, cities, big cities, magnificent cities, and epic cities.
Holk City, the only grand and majestic city in the northwest of the empire, is the capital of the Kewei territory in the northwest of the empire. It is also the military, political, economic, transportation, cultural and entertainment center of the entire northwest.
300 kilometers northwest from Hork City is the border between the Nalan Empire and the Orc Alliance. Three huge castles with specialized defenses are located on the border, and together with the Iron Wall Mountains, form a defense line against the orcs.
Hork City is surrounded by vast plains with fertile land and rich products. As the transportation center in the northwest, every settlement above town level in Kewei Land and Garin Land has a road leading to Holk City. In order to facilitate the transportation of troops and supplies, the road leading from Holk City to the northwest defense line is the smoothest and widest.
Rogge and his party took the northwest road and reached Holk City from Iron Wall City in three days. Excluding the few days of repairs after the attack, the convoy even traveled one day faster than the estimated 10-day journey from Garin City to Holk City.
Rogge had seen this majestic city standing on the plain very early. When he came under the city wall, he realized how high the towering city wall was, more than 50 meters high.
The large city of Garin City is the largest city that Rogge has ever visited before. Its walls are not half as high as those of Holk City.
"This is too high." The students sighed.
"Haha, this is the tallest city wall in our Nalan Empire. Even in the entire Hess continent, there are few cities with higher walls than our city wall in Holk City." William said proudly.
The towering high wall makes Holk City impenetrable. If the Orc Alliance conquers the northwest defense line, this will be their defeat.
After William showed his ID to show his identity, the motorcade passed through the city wall and entered the city. The students once again lamented the thickness of the city wall.
Holk College is located in the southeast corner of the city. Rogge and his party came in from the north gate and passed through the bustling city.
Ofina, Madeleine and other girls looked around curiously, feeling that the new city was fresh and interesting. Lunt stared and looked left and right, almost like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. Even Sonia, who is introverted and likes silence, looks out of the car from time to time.
Although the roads in the city were wide, there were too many horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians. It took the convoy half a day to reach Holker College. As evening approached, the students all breathed a sigh of relief when they looked at the rough black plaque of Holk College, the dark golden and solemn words on the plaque, and the solemn and imposing door.
"It is indeed the best war college in the country. Even the door is so domineering. It's so cool!" Lunt directly expressed everyone's thoughts.
Holk College handles matters directly. William, a senior teacher, went directly to the dean and provided information on the basic qualities of Rogge, Ofina and others, as well as their performance records in the selection examination.
"Dean! My recruitment at the Galin Orphanage this time is a great success! Look, these students are all geniuses!"
Dean Anderson was a little disapproving. Geniuses do exist, but there are not so many of them. They are all here one after another. They must be here to defraud funds. But given that William's past admissions results were pretty good, Anderson still started looking through the information.
First of all, the students outside Rogge's 5-person group are all considered outstanding.
Then there was Madeleine's information, which was excellent, but not at the level of genius. Anderson became more and more certain that William was exaggerating.
Then there was Lunt, who was even better and could be considered a genius, but it was mainly reflected in his physical fitness and combat intuition, which also accounted for a great advantage over the Sacdo race. Anderson saw clearly Lunt's ranking, fourth. If you are so strong and only ranked fourth, what will the top three look like? Anderson had some expectations in his heart.
It was Sonia's turn. The assassin girl with perfect perception gave Anderson a big shock. The strongest swordsman in the empire, the martial saint Leonardo, also has this talent and is invincible in the face of the enemy. This is an absolute talent with a bright future, and Anderson beams.
Then there is Orfina. 18 years old, intermediate light magician, magic value 2077 points, self-created singing magic healing ray that can be used by intermediate magicians. Anderson became more frightened as he watched, his mouth opened wide, and he stood up unconsciously.
You have found a treasure. This is no longer a level that can be achieved by hard work alone. This is definitely a genius among geniuses. He has extremely talented people and can compete with the rising star of the empire.
Anderson noticed that he had lost his composure, coughed twice, adjusted his facial expression, sat down and continued to read the information.
Finally, there is Rogge. Compared with the gorgeous statistics of the first two, this student can only be regarded as excellent. The dual profession of warrior and magician is a unique feature, but there are actually not many such students. After reading the battle report, Anderson understood why William thought so highly of Rogge.
This is not a genius in the pure sense. He is not very talented and has no innate ability. If it weren't for his strong learning ability, Rogge wouldn't be able to compete with Sonia and Ofina no matter how hard he tried. Roger's achievements today are due to his smart mind and tenacity.
Anderson likes geniuses, but he prefers such students because he himself is such a down-to-earth and hard-working person. If this kind of person is given a chance, he will definitely have great potential in the future.
"Very good! William, you are really good this time!"
In fact, William, who basically did nothing, said modestly: "It's because the college is famous, haha! By the way, we were attacked by the Goblin Elite Brigade this time. The battle situation was very dangerous. These students have made great contributions. This is the battle report. .”
Anderson silently browsed the battle reports. When he saw Ophina injured, even though he had not yet seen the little girl's face, the old dean still felt a pang in his heart. Rogge's outstanding performance also made Anderson, who has a vicious vision, even more certain that this is a talent on the same level as these geniuses.
"Dean, I promised Rogge, Ofina, Sonia, Lunt and Madeleine to give them special treatment, do you think?" William said at the right moment when Anderson saw that he had read the battle report.
"Madeline seems not quite qualified. I can give you the others."
"Madeline was recommended by Ofina. Ofina and Lunt will be angry if she is not given special treatment. If Ofina is angry, Roger and Sonia will be angry."
Anderson was stunned. This relationship is a bit complicated.
"Then give it to her," Anderson said. The old dean has highly recognized the strength of Ofina, Rogge, and Sonia, and the students' emotions must be taken into consideration. Just think of Madeleine as a gift, and this gift isn't bad either. As for Lunt, Lunt is not critical. . .
"By the way, give them the special dormitory with the most rooms, and tell them they must sleep in their own rooms." The boy and girl are still young, and their relationship is so messy, so it is necessary to give them some advice.
"Okay, then I'll thank the dean on behalf of the students."
"Oh, by the way, Dean, a lot of money was spent on this enrollment activity and the attack. Please sign so that I can get reimbursement from the Finance Department." William handed over the application form.
Anderson took the list, looked at it, and silently crossed out the zero that William had just added not long ago.
