Chapter 84 The Royal Heirs Are Overjoyed!

Speaking of which, among the students, Elsie probably has the most knights.

Connor and the six knights who took the second test, a total of seven knights!

Noah killed one of the cowardly knights in his own party, and no one would blame him; he was just a knight, after all. Besides, his death was actually in Noah's favor.

Upon hearing the news of Noah's killing of the Coward, his six newly acquired knights dared not make any rash moves and completely regarded themselves as his weapons.

In just a few days, these knights had become highly trained, physically superior to other knights, and were strictly disciplined like an army.

[Is this what they call making an example of someone? Trading a cowardly knight for a perfect legion! Perfect! Elsie! I suggest you kill one too to cheer them on!]

"?" Elsie, as usual, ignored the narrator's quirky ideas.

Our own knightly order is excellent. Cowardice? Absolutely not, and they are extremely loyal!

The two escort mercenaries from the East were also very competent. Although their fighting style was like guerrilla warfare, this kind of combat was quite useful for the current small-scale battles.

[But this situation won't last. Let me think about who to kill first. Wait! I've got it! I'll go look at the outline! I'll kill whoever has less plot content right now! (Sound of rummaging through drawers)]

"Ahem!" Bogp stopped at the north gate, with a thousand-strong army standing behind him.

"Children, these soldiers are certainly not your knights, but from now on they belong to you."

"Military rules..."

Bogp took out thirty tokens from behind him and instructed his adjutant to give the tokens to each child.

“Each of these tokens represents a hundred-man army. By possessing them, you will control your own private army.”

"As for its legitimacy, rest assured, the academy has fully communicated with all the royal families, and you are fully authorized to order these soldiers to do anything."

"Don't worry about whether their lives or deaths will affect me." Bogp said with a contented look: "I have 50,000 elite troops under my command. These mere 3,000 men are just the first gift I can give to the children in this cold winter."

"As for the second one..."

Bogp stretched out his finger and pointed to the endless north.

"This is precisely why I left some time ago. The North was once the cradle of humankind, but we were forced to abandon it after the war between the Demon King and the Hero."

Bogp recounted the background...

"But our evacuation left behind some city ruins, some of which became a paradise for monsters, while others were taken over by pirates and barbarians."

"In the name of the Imperial Knight Academy, I promised the various royal families that I would send troops to attack and successfully capture the lost Shadow City, as well as its ten attached outposts."

Bogp took the map recorded by his adjutant and handed thirty simplified maps to the trainees.

"The royal families of various countries dispatched an army of one thousand death row inmates to garrison the area. Their armed forces were not very strong, and the boundaries of the territory were strictly supervised by the royal guards."

Bogp began to talk about the rules.

"Children, you now have an army and knights. You can choose to cooperate and take the city together, or you can choose other methods. You are free."

"Of course, to ensure your safety, the royal family has informed death row inmates that they are forbidden from harming students, that capturing students alive will result in a pardon, and that your followers will be killed or expelled."

"You can also choose to give up and leave with the army I'm giving you, but it's worth mentioning..."

“Noah…” Bogp glanced at Noah, who was already examining his army: “Your family very much hopes that you will take this city.”

"They want to celebrate your birthday in your castle before the cold winter arrives."

Noah's lips curled into a smirk as he slung his longbow behind his back and let out a cold laugh: "I will take over Shadow City within a month!"

“Confidence is the first step to success.” Bergp smiled, seemingly quite pleased with Noah.

"Alright, children, let's make this clear first: you can all go to the battlefield yourselves, and you can bring your own equipment. As for your knights and troops, they are not allowed to bring equipment from their families or that they have purchased."

"This battle will test your flexible and strategic thinking on the battlefield, and the reward is a territory of your own!"

"Good luck to you! I'd love to celebrate in your castle when winter truly arrives!"

Bogp handed the soldiers over to the trainees and then left the scene.

Elsie glanced at the map; Shadow City was not far north of Mirrorlake City.

“My lord, I know this place!” Parker raised his hand, while Trisna quickly covered his mouth, signaling him to be quiet.

The surrounding knights cast glances his way, clearly having almost exposed Parker's advantage.

“Ahem…” Parker lowered his voice and said, “I’ve lived in the North before, and the chaos there is unimaginable.”

"Shadow City is a small city, capable of holding no more than five hundred soldiers. It contains many military ruins, which have been occupied by pirates since the Demon King War, making it one of the difficult points to attack."

"So, this city was originally intended to be built into a fortress?" Dongshan Hong asked.

Trisna nodded, glancing at the army that Bogp had assigned to her—a full hundred men.

Sending them to fight against an army of a thousand death row inmates who don't care about their own lives would be tantamount to suicide!

It is still unclear how many of those death row inmates have military experience, or how well-equipped they are.

In short, they came from various royal families, and each royal family would certainly provide the death row inmates with the greatest equipment support in order to prevent other royal offspring from easily acquiring the city.

After all, they wouldn't kill the students, only their followers. Since their own offspring might not be able to take the city, why not give the other royal offspring a little "surprise"?

...

That night, Elsie returned to the inn with her knights and a hundred soldiers; she wasn't in a hurry like Noah.

He set off with his army immediately after Bogpdu's speech, and his family had already sent supply wagons to follow.

Elsie remained calm; how could a siege be so easy?

if……

If you still have the power of natural disasters, just crush them!

[Ah! Don't worry, I won't tell you about the embarrassing thing that you silently chanted "storm" thousands of times at the North Gate, but nothing happened.]

You actually said it!

More important than these things is boosting morale. Look at these soldiers, they're all so dejected!

El glanced at the group of soldiers standing in the rain outside the hotel. They all had bright eyes and straight postures, truly worthy of being Bogp's army!

In short! Let's kill one to liven things up!

I've already reviewed the outline, now...
