Chapter 286 Danger, They Are Coming
“Is this a city?”
The cold night wind was blowing, and Isabella was there, leaving behind this understated question.
In the city of Yabusis, there were only scattered yellow flames. The places with light were the temporary residences chosen by the adventurer team. Countless black windows were like the figures of monsters from outside the domain, hidden in traps that were within reach.
Ivy's face was dull and her frightened eyes were very empty. Through her colorless eyes, the brilliant starry sky in the distance on the horizon was reflected.
Before Fei Jinsi spoke, she was reluctant to disrupt the peace of the group. After some hesitation, she asked, "What would happen if we encountered a very dangerous monster on the battlefield of East Continent and died in the battle?"
Mariana inadvertently asked loudly, "Ah? Are you afraid of this? We are not going deep inland. Most of the monsters that can confront us are low-level monsters. What are you afraid of? When there are no monsters, just treat it as a vacation here."
Isabella covered her suppressed smile and exhaled to warm her hands: "Don't forget, I have the protection of the Saint Lady behind me. There is no threat like super monsters in this world anymore. Even if elite monsters come, they have to consider the formation of 600 white dragons!"
Isabella said a few words of encouragement, but silently questioned in her heart: There are still five saints who look up to the Black Crystal Dragon of the guild. If it were in other low-magic worlds, a Black Crystal Dragon might be a terrifying existence that could destroy a country. In this high-magic world, the Black Crystal Dragon's strength is higher than that of most humans.
Milushia lifted Ivy's white hair and said, "Ivy? Why are you silent?"
"You seem quite depressed these days!"
Isabella, leaning against the fence, was surprised, while Figgins and Marianna were also very concerned about what happened to Ivy.
"Ah..." Ivy sighed and rolled her eyes, "I'm going to be pissed off by Tyke!"
"When we were in college, he and I agreed that we could meet more often during the graduation test. We are only one kilometer apart, so what's the inconvenience?"
Figgins pursed his lips, nodded and said: "It's understandable. For our graduation test this time, boys and girls will live separately, which will make our life more convenient."
Ai Wei's mouth seemed to be sour, and she lowered her head guiltily and said, "I agreed with him that we could go out for a walk when we were free. Since we got on the warship, he hasn't taken the initiative to move."
Milushia stroked her chin and thought: "Have you ever had any conflicts with him?"
Ivy said decisively: "No."
Isabella blinked and asked, "Has he been with other girls...?"
"No," Ivy shook her head and said, "During the time on the warship, he was pointing at the map with the boys in his class and had no attention on me."
Mariana thought about it and chuckled, "His mind is probably on fighting monsters. You don't know how much boys at this stage fantasize about leading an army and overcoming obstacles on the battlefield."
The time came three days later.
The daily work of all students is to escort logistical supplies and deliver them to three supply transfer towns ten kilometers away. The towns are inhabited by soldiers from this homeland, totaling 6,500 people.
For the entire Gwebinin Empire, more than 6,000 people were no match for a million monsters, let alone retaking the old country's territory.
At the front line, 180 kilometers away from the city of Yabusis, the situation is dire. There are mercenary corps from all over the world fighting monsters day and night.
The second line of defense, one hundred kilometers away from the city of Yabusis, is the military academy's dragon riders, who are responsible for clearing out the primary monsters flying in the sky.
The first three days were just physical training, and on the fourth day, the mission was changed to rotating the mountain defense line of Yabusis City.
According to the latest news from the palace swordsmen, starting from the fifth day, they will have to face scattered monsters from outside the domain.
A routine meeting before dinner.
The chief knight of the palace spoke in a calm tone, with less sharpness in his words, as if he was patiently admonishing: "...the positions and number of people in each class need to be specifically arranged by the person in charge..."
"Students, if you are not absolutely sure of defeating the foreign monster, you can retreat to the cave or let our court swordsmen deal with it."
"Students on leave should take a break. No one is allowed to leave the defense line. Anyone who violates this rule will fail the course! But today, three students took the risk and left the defense line we set."
"Their qualification for the test has been cancelled, but there is no ship to go back, and no advanced teleportation scroll! Even if the qualification for the test is cancelled, they must stay and fight!"
"This is a real battlefield. You are not adventurers. If any emergency occurs and there are no strict implementation standards, people will die."
"The court swordsman promises to ensure the safety of each of you. If any of you are willing to commit suicide, the test qualification of the entire class will be cancelled, and graduation will be postponed for one year!"
Afterwards, three boys from Class 3 of the Wind Department were pulled in front of everyone and severely criticized by the chief court swordsman.
The three boys looked ashamed, but they were laughing secretly with their heads down.
During the meal, Isabella looked at the boys in the class. Julius was discussing the watchtower that our class was responsible for in a firm and serious tone.
"…The view is very good one kilometer outside the tower. The slope is gentle. If we encounter monsters flying over or arriving by other means, the magic swordsmen must follow me closely."
A tall and fat boy: "Urix? You can still command us?"
"Our team's combat range has been diverted by you. What should we do if we are out of the defense line? Don't you consider the 100-meter range of the magicians behind us?"
Yuriks said calmly: "The backup team may not be able to support us accurately! Just listen to me! The threat level of primary out-of-domain monsters is equivalent to the strength of half a mid-level monster. If there are too many of them, we will retreat and expand the battle range to reduce the pressure on the magicians who are backing up. This is very important."
"The instructors of the court swordsmen have given us a very large combat range. Unless you are an idiot, you will not go beyond the stipulated 1,500-meter range."
Isabella looked towards Fire Class 1. Tek was speaking in a very loud voice.
"...Set up barriers and magic traps in advance at several high earth slopes. The magic swordsmen in our class are quite strong, but you tend to be impulsive. When you encounter monsters tomorrow, prioritize diverting them from entering the magic traps we set up..."
Because each class is assigned a different position on the battle line, the tactics developed are tailored to local conditions, which is also the evaluation requirement of the Court Swordsman for student teamwork.
The whole cafeteria was filled with the sound of boys talking.
Figgins nudged Isabella and asked, "Shouldn't the Seventh Prince be in charge of our class? Why is it Ulysses? I'm a little nervous! Tomorrow is our first fight against an alien monster!"
Isabella consoled him, "When Ulysses broke through to the primary level, he was the one who faced the alien monsters alone. The Seventh Prince recognized his ability. Your Highness does not need to worry too much. What he should consider is how to use people."
"Our graduation exams will begin tomorrow. It's normal for students who are going to the battlefield for the first time to be a little nervous."
The next morning...
A primary teleportation scroll flew to the camp of the palace swordsman captain.
From the Military Academy, 2nd Front.
A wave of monsters appeared, numbering 2.6 million. The front line has collapsed, and a large number of monsters will arrive in Yabusis in two days! The dragon cavalry suffered no losses, but many Bai Haolongs were already tired after a long battle, and the dragon cavalry trainees on the front line were evacuating in an orderly manner.
hum!
Hundreds of monsters from outside the domain entered the barrier airspace within a five-kilometer radius outside the city of Yabusis.
The palace swordsmen spread the message to each class: "Attention everyone! They are coming!"
Boom! Boom!
Five black crystal dragons lined up above the defense line and quickly swooped down towards the front battlefield.
Isabella and the Seventh Prince were the swordsmen in the class. They stood at the back of the team. The teams on either side of them each had six people, and the battle they launched was a pincer attack.
Isabella glanced at the Seventh Prince and asked, "Seventh Prince? How come you are so calm?"
The seventh prince Xia An sighed, his breath intermittently: "You are also very calm! You can tell even through my heavy armor?"
