One of the eight
Before the Storm of the Eight Magic Academy
In the office of the president of Baymont College of Holy Moonlight College, a special messenger was welcomed. After reading the letter presented by the messenger, the head of the college's eyes showed fierce anger:
"It's really the first shameless declaration of war that I began to see at birth!"
The messenger's body trembled, as if he was frightened by the anger of the college principal. After a while, he reluctantly pretended to be tough:
"Although it is necessary to declare war on your college, what is said in the letter is the truth after all. Isn't the president of the college willing to admit it?"
"Facts? If the sneak attack on our college is successful, I'm afraid our status will be completely reversed now, right? The robbers declared war on the other side on the grounds of failure to plunder successfully. I'm afraid no one can beat it except your country, Sierras!"
"General...in a word! The fact of declaring war with your college has been as stated in the letter! Our army is stationed on the plain outside the college and will launch an attack on the college on the agreed date! If the college can surrender according to our request..."
"When conveying unprecedented shameless remarks, please do not convey more ridiculous jokes at the same time. Mr. Messenger, please convey these words to your general as a reply!"
After standing stiff for a moment, the messenger also forgot to salute and turned away in anger. Baymont leaned heavily on the chair:
"It's really bad... It seems that I made a rather stupid decision under the moment of excitement... Is it true that I'm too stubborn? In fact, surrender is not a shame..."
"Excuse me... what is the other party's request, Your Excellency?"
Rog, who had been standing aside, couldn't help asking, and the decanor gave him the letter:
"What other requirements are there? Surrender, obedience, compensation, assistance, and everything that can be mentioned are completely regarded as Haier Milan has subjugated. That's why it makes people feel unhappy..."
"What's the reason?"
"Of course, it was because of the good deeds we had done before that we also handed over the officers and warships to Wangcheng. Isn't it unreasonable for the other party to make these demands?"
"If this is reasonable... I really haven't heard of anything more shameless than this! Even if you go crazy, you should stop!"
"It's rare to agree, Mr. Rogge... But according to what the letter says, the other party has two warships and a thousand soldiers, and will launch an attack on us tomorrow. Even if he wants to go to his country to ask for reinforcements, he can't do it. Mr. Rogge... I don't think we can win, right? It's not a disgraceful thing to resist a little and then surrender, right?
"If you think so, isn't it enough for you to give a direct answer to surrender just now!"
Roger patted heavily on the table, and then withdrew his hand in surprise and embarrassment:
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I'm rude..."
"If you don't do this, you won't be Mr. Rogge. It's because of your rude behavior that I'm sure that there are at least someone besides me who dares to challenge the fate of no victory. But I really can't think of any feasible way, Mr. Rogge. Although the students have performed satisfactorily under your training, they still can't fight against the regular army, can they?
"Indeed... It's really too reluctant to do this. At present, at first, you may be able to rely on magic to cause certain killing to the enemy, but once the enemy approaches, you can only be slaughtered by others. Unless you can use the high magic to kill and injure a thousand enemies with one blow..."
"The only magic that can do that is the legendary meteorite. Unless Celine is resurrected, and the damage caused by this magic is probably unpredictable, so we don't need to expect this possibility to be zero. Now that we have made the decision to fight against the enemy, there is no other way but to fight, but the bet is the lives of all students... We can't let those weak girls join the battle, can we?
"Compared with such a result, if our resistance fails, how will those girls be treated rudely? In the war, all behaviors will be regarded as reasonable, so with all due respect, we have no room for failure, but to win!"
"Is there any other choice?"
"Give up the college and retreat to Wangcheng."
"That's equivalent to giving up the defense frontier of Wangcheng... It's a choice that is not worth considering at all."
"Or desperate and launch a raid on the enemy's camp may have an unexpected effect."
Baymont's eyes lit up:
"This is a feasible idea... but it seems difficult to direct students to do things like night attacks."
"I am still very confident in the trained students, Your Excellency."
"It's not the problem, Mr. Rogge... Do you think there is no difference between commanding a group of soldiers and commanding a group of nobles? It's quite lucky that those children can strictly abide by your orders. I'm afraid it can't be done by your command to complete the night attack.
"What you said is indeed reasonable... There are many of these students who can give orders to me only in terms of status. If it weren't for the majesty of Her Majesty, I'm afraid it would be impossible to complete daily training. However, doesn't this mean that we have nothing to do?"
"Maybe we really have no choice, but as long as we can try it, we have to try our luck. Mr. Rogge, please select the right person you think is suitable. Let's organize a night attack. However, at the same time as the night attack, we can only be prepared to give up the college, at least let those female students evacuate to a safe place first..."
"So, how about the treasure house of the college?"
"Hmm?"
"Although it has always been a place where students are strictly prohibited from entering, since there is a strong boundary set by you, it is impossible to break through even if the enemy uses the power of warships, right? If students can be allowed to take refuge on the grounds of 'wartime random response', right?
"This is just an ideal way. In fact, it doesn't work at all." The defense power of Dimension is indeed strong, but if ordinary people hide in it, their mental strength will be seriously depleted, and only one day will be fatal. Otherwise, won't I just have to set up a 'dimensional' around the college? So, as I just said, prepare both hands, Mr. Rogge.
"Okay, I will do what the director said. However, please forgive my disrespect. This is not a feasible way. Maybe no matter how hard we try, we can only temporarily delay the fate of the fall of the college. Please be sure to think of the most reasonable response strategy, for the lives of those students and for the future of Haier Milan... Please.
After Baymont saw Rogge leave, he was silent for a moment and shook the bell on the table:
"Please help me call Mr. Rbeck and Mr. Lange in."
The waiter answered, and a few minutes later, Mr. Lange hurried into the door in response to the sound of "disturbing":
"Your Excellency, what happened? Mr. Rogge seems to be..."
"I'll tell you this later. What about Mr. Robeck?
"Excuse me."
The silent Robeck entered the room with slow steps as usual:
"Command?"
"Let's take a look at this letter first, Sierras' declaration of war."
Lange took it in surprise and looked even more nervous after reading it with Robeck:
"If you don't do as mentioned above, you will launch an attack tomorrow?"
"Because of the crisis, please come and discuss how to deal with it?"
"Reject."
Robeck shook his head and handed the letter back. Lange also nodded to express the same opinion, and the director narrowed his eyes:
"If we refuse... what can we do? A thousand troops and two warships can raze the college to the ground in an instant, and all the students will die. Does it matter even so?
"The situation may not develop so badly, will it? There are also students from other countries in the college. Is Sierras really an indiscriminate attack without hesitation? Is it the most reasonable means for them to control the college and use hostages?
"This is the ideal method, but only if we are willing to accept surrender. Now that we have adopted a rebellious approach, it is the most reasonable way for them to eliminate the college. The college is at the forefront of guarding the royal city, which is related to the fate of Haier Milan. It is also the soul symbol of a magical kingdom. Focusing on the college is indeed the most effective way to threaten the kingdom. The important thing is that even if Her Majesty knows the situation of the college today, I'm afraid it won't have time to reinforce us, so now we have no choice but to find our own way.
"Really... will it be so desperate? Or should we really consider surrender?
"Please read the contents of this letter, Mr. Lange, as proof of surrender, we must not only obey their orders, but also send magicians to accompany the army. You should know what this means, right? So if I was still joking just now, I would never say the word surrender now. What about Mr. Robeck's opinion?
"Withdraw."
Baymont's face couldn't help fading:
"Do you also agree to give up the college? However, as I said before, the college is at the forefront of guarding the royal city. If we give up..."
"A surprise attack."
"A surprise attack?"
Baymont stood up and walked a few steps with some enlightenment, and suddenly stood in front of the window:
"Abandon the college first and make the illusion of retreating to the royal city. After waiting for the enemy to occupy, only a small part will be stationed here, and then the large army will pursue the royal city. Let's concentrate on taking the college back..."
Mr. Lange's body trembles slightly, which is a common reaction when he is excited or excited:
"This is a feasible way, Your Excellency! It is much easier to deal with hundreds of enemies and use night attacks than to fight 1,000 people during the day. More importantly, we can avoid student casualties and possible damage to the college to the greatest extent. Let's follow this method!"
"Mr. Robeck has no problem with this, does he?"
"I agree."
"In that case, we will follow the plan. Mr. Rogge has just gathered the students who can participate in the night attack. Now I'm going to discuss the temporary plan changes with them. You two are responsible for communicating our agreed plan to the students, but please don't reveal our real purpose to them at will until the success of the plan. After all, we only have to do first Only by cheating your own people can you deceive the enemy... Let's do it right away!"
"I see!"
The two teachers left the office one after another to convey the order of the dean to the students. Baymont pulled up the curtains and nodded to the parrot parked aside:
"I'm going to part with you for the time being, Lala Xiu, but I will come back to meet you soon. If you meet enemies, don't be eaten by them as a delicious meal."
La Xiu turned his head and half closed his eyes with a disapproving look:
"I don't want to hear such stupid words, old man, at least please don't treat me as an ordinary parrot! During your departure, I will close the door tightly, but if you don't come back later, I will starve to death! So please understand my thin body and think about how to be a hero in front of young people! To be honest, this kind of thing is no longer suitable for you..."
"It's really sad to hear such words from your mouth, La Laxiu. At least, you should say 'Please take care of yourself' to me, right? I don't want to leave here with regret..."
"Is that necessary, old man? I don't think you are the kind of guy who needs a parrot to bless you. If you have time to tell me this, why don't you go and teach your students? Don't let those young people turn into a pile of mud when they hear our plan.
"Maybe there is really that possibility... If so, maybe I will have more hope of winning with a group of parrots than a group of students?"
Baymont left the room with a helpless smile. With a click, the door was locked by magic. Lalaxiu spread his wings and fluttered twice and jumped from the cage rack to the edge of the window:
"I'm still a little worried. Should I go out to find reinforcements? Although that would violate my agreement with the old man, I don't care about those in critical moments. In a word, it's time for people to see my strength, but who they will meet is something to look forward to..."
Laxiu's feathers scattered a strange light, and his whole body gradually showed a crystal-like posture.
"The soldier in charge of reconnaissance is back."
The captain lurking in the woods whispered to Loed and others who were surrounded. Lulu nodded to the scout:
"Thank you for your hard work. Please tell us the situation briefly."
"Last night, the Sierras army has occupied the college and has left 200 soldiers guarding the college, and the remaining 800 people and warships are heading towards the royal city."
"Is there any degree of casualties or destruction in the college?"
"There were no casualties, and it seemed that it was voluntarily abandoned, so there was no battle."
Lulu signaled the scout to retreat and rest, and then raised her forehead with some trouble:
"Take the initiative to give up the college? Isn't this equivalent to giving up guarding the frontier of the royal city? How could the director do such a stupid thing?
"Maybe it's because there is no chance of winning? No matter how you think about it, it is simply a pebble to fight against a thousand soldiers and two warships with the strength of the college. Giving up the college and returning to Wangcheng should be the most effective way.
Loed's opinion was not recognized by Lulu, and Xilu also shook her head to express her opposition:
"That is actually the stupidest way to do. Let's not talk about what kind of pressure it will cause to Wang Cheng to give up the college. If the other party's warship marches with all its strength, it can quickly catch up with everyone who escaped. Such a result should be completely calculated. So the president must have his own plan to give up the college, but before that, we should find a way to take the college back!"
"That's right, the college is in the hands of the enemy, which has an unpredictable impact on the king city. If we can take advantage of the enemy's division to chase back the college, the enemy's rear will form an effective threat, and it is not too big a gap between 50 against 200. It should be easy to do it by night attack. Do it!"
"Then leave it to Lena to do something like sneaking into the college!"
Lena ran to loyd's side and grabbed his arm:
"Mr. loyd, come with me!"
"Wait! It's true that you are good at night action. Why does loyd go with you?
Xilu stared and pulled loyd back from Lena, as if she was worried that loyd would become the food of the other party in a blink of an eye...
Recently, her autocratic temper has become more and more serious. On the way back, she pulled loyd tightly to her and refused to let go easily. Even when she rested at night, she had to get close to him to sleep in peace. Not only did she have a premonition of becoming water with Lena and Shirley, but also made loyd's spirit hardly get too thorough. Relax at the bottom. Even so, her suspicion did not weaken because of this, but she did not have the courage to want to "fait accompli" with loyd directly like Lulu. No matter who she is, she is surprised by her strange changes.
If you want to ask the reason... it's entirely because of a wrong decision.
Wow... Sure enough, I still don't have the courage to face the reality! Such a me... The glorious second daughter of the Rafard family, the future lord of Raspud, Silly Ferrinwen Rafard... slept casually beside a man without the permission of his parents and ancestors, and without praying to the gods... Although it is indeed a pity that nothing happened, it is not true. I'm glad, but that shameless behavior is really a stain that can't be removed in my life. I have vowed not to be so close to a man easily and I will no longer easily believe in the true definition of love... What an irreparable thing I have done...
But... but loyd doesn't seem to know anything! I don't understand other people's mood at all! I don't understand other people's feelings at all! A girl lies next to you so intimately... and sleeps so deeply without any defense at all... It's really commendable that you don't do anything... At least please show it during the day! It's not that you want to hug me or kiss me in front of everyone... But don't always be so close to those people! Who is your master and who is yours... ah ah! It's really pissed me off! But think about it carefully, in fact, those people used to lie with him... Although nothing happened, what does it mean that you are so close to them and don't treat me seriously? Loyd is an idiot! Stupid big fool!
Because she blindly believes that the other party should take the initiative to show their due attitude to themselves, and feels that it is natural for men to take the initiative to show their love to women, so Xilu has been expecting that loyd will take the initiative to express the love that should be expressed to herself... However, loyd's simplicity, or slowness is not one It was so serious that she completely ignored her expectation and the loneliness often revealed in her big eyes. Except for the necessary daily greetings, she couldn't say a few words to her all day. On the contrary, those people were constantly taking the initiative to attack, trying to forcibly take this fat meat from the eagle's mouth... If If I was really taken away by them, wouldn't I really become a powerless parrot? Only this kind of thing can never be forgiven!
Since you don't want to take the initiative... then let me take the initiative! No matter how you look at it, I won't lose to them... except for the figure... Uh-huh! That's also an advantage! Those with big breasts will get tired of watching too much. Besides, loyd is not that kind of person! I won't lose to them at all!
So... the original intention of "not letting loyd be taken away by them" has been unconsciously replaced by the inexplicable idea of "not being treated as parrots by them". As long as someone takes the initiative to approach loyd within one meter, she will jump reflexively and snatch the person back... Lena shook her unconvincedly:
"This is too much! Miss Cat!"
"Who is Miss Cat!"
"Your behavior is no different from that of a cat! It seems that I'm worried that my food will be stolen... Although the cod as big as Mr. loyd does taste good..."
"What are you talking about? You are still in the mood to blame others. You are not as childish!"
Lulu tilted her eyes and said sarcasticly, and Lena "hummed" and tilted her head:
"Lena is..."
"It's a child, right? You have said this sentence countless times, so it's better not to repeat it again. In short, the night infiltration will be carried out by Lena and loyd. When you arrange it properly, we will send a signal, and we will rush into the college to meet you immediately.
"That...that kind of thing! I'm going too! I don't trust their safety..."
Xilu jumped up anxiously to protest to Lulu, but she was hit on the other party's head:
"Are you worried about their safety or that loyd was stolen? If you want to be jealous, please pay attention to the occasion, Miss Xilu! Now we are carrying out an important recapture mission! If you don't have this experience, it will only get in the way... Just like that time in the arsenal in the past..."
Xilu blushed... Recalling Lulu's "seamless attack", although they were all women, it was enough to make people blush for a long time. Of course, the most offensive thing for her is the sentence "I don't have this experience"... It's true that she has no experience of sneaking at night, but it's really annoying to be attacked head-on again and again... She was full of breath and wanted to fight back, and loyd gently grabbed her hand:
"Give it to me, Xilu."
The anger disappeared in an instant... Xilu's whole body softened. She suppressed her violent heartbeat, raised her head with big round eyes and looked at her heart with some sadness, looking like a stray cat abandoned by her owner. loyd seemed to be confused by her hypnotic movements, and she couldn't help but be in a trance... Lena on one side shouted "ah" and rushed Come up:
"How dare you use this method to ** Mr. loyd! I can't believe it! So cunning!"
"Who do you think is cunning! And that's not **! I'm the same as my own knight..."
"Please don't say such misleading words! Miss Fox!"
"Who is the fox!"
The situation that was finally controlled became chaotic again... The two girls were desperate to perform the martial arts. Lulu sighed helplessly and turned around. loyd, who stayed on the side, was glad that Shirley was busy with dinner and failed to join the "battlefield", while trying to try to dissuade them. Excessive behavior. Seeing that the situation was about to turn from chaos to chaos, a strange sound from the trees overhead attracted his attention:
"That's...what?"
Seeing his doubts on his face, the two girls unconsciously raised their heads. The leaves above my head suddenly began to tremble violently...
"What's going on? Is it windy?"
"It would be too strange if it was the wind! Isn't there something strange hidden?"
"Is it the enemy's spy?"
"That's also a very careless spy! Anyway, I'll take the telescope first..."
The trembling of the branches became more and more violent, and suddenly a large area broke with a "bang" and fell down with a vague scream. Loyd instinctively pushed away the two girls who seemed to be stunned, and the pile of branches pressed on him rudely.
