The next day, Leo and Sylvia took their transfer orders and went directly to the meeting address written above, which was Camp Ronald in the Knights District.

The entire urban area of ​​Donglin City is divided into seven parts, the largest part of which is the academy area. However, the area of ​​​​the academy area itself is not the largest. This is mainly due to the later expansion of the academy area, and one area was divided from the other six urban areas as the academy branch.

, and the area drawn out in the Knights District is the largest, almost half of it has been divided, making this once largest urban area now the smallest urban area.

The Knights District used to be the most prosperous and lively district in the entire Donglin City. A total of thirty-one knight camps were built here to train knights. It was also the holy land of knights in the entire Velen world. Knights from any country were known for their abilities.

It is an honor to graduate from the knight camp and be decorated.

The greatest glory in the hearts of the knights in the world of Velen is not victory on the battlefield, but the thirty-one-ring challenge of the Winter Winter City Knight Battalion.

The knights who participate in the challenge must challenge the chief knights of the thirty-one knight battalions. Each time they defeat one, they need to buckle a very heavy gold ring on their hand. Until the last chief knight is challenged, the weight of the gold ring on his body will change.

It was so terrifying that it was very difficult to raise your hands and walk normally, let alone fight.

As long as he defeats the chief knight of the thirty-one knight battalion, that knight will be honored as a champion knight, and the country where he is located will directly grant him the title of baron. It can be said that he will reach the sky in one step.

Since the establishment of the entire Thirty-one Knights Battalion, only seven people have become champion knights. Four of them are church knights. Two of the other three are French and one is a Maris. Details about these seven knights

The information is all recorded in the Knights Square, on the base of the statues of the seven of them.

However, with the emergence of steam technology, various steam weapons have gradually become mainstream, especially the emergence of steam repeating crossbows with very strong lethality and high rate of fire. The era of knights and cavalry as the main force on the battlefield has come to an end. Although in large and small

Many knights can still be seen on the battlefield, but their role on the battlefield has changed from charging frontally and destroying enemy formations to assisting from the side and harassing the enemy with surprise attacks.

Also because of the decline of cavalry and knights, coupled with the growth of the academy, Donglin City, the city of knights, has inevitably been affected. The biggest impact is that thirty of the thirty-one knight battalions have been closed and transformed into

The racetracks, arenas and fitness camps used for entertainment have been replaced. Only Camp Ronald, which once trained two champion knights, is still in operation, training for the empire, or to be more correct, training for the royal family.

Royal Guard Knight.

Currently, the only knightly order that still retains pure knighthood in all countries around the world is the French Royal Guard. In other so-called knightly orders, only a small number of people are actually knights, and the others are either ordinary cavalry or knights' attendants.

Although the French Royal Guard is often used as a guard of honor, if you underestimate the combat effectiveness of this knighthood, you will definitely suffer a big loss. This is obviously a pain that the United Kingdom feels deeply.

In a recent war, the French Royal Guard suddenly appeared on the frontline battlefield, attacked the United Kingdom's military formation from the flank, directly penetrated the military formation, killed the general in the center of the military formation, and caused the entire front to collapse.

If other armies had not been well-trained to fill the gap, I am afraid that the battle would have ended in a major rout for the French side, and the most important Bodo region of the United Kingdom might have been lost.

As a knight's camp that produced two champion knights, not only did the area of ​​this knight's camp not decrease, but it was also divided from the training grounds of the thirty other knights' camps when the other thirty knights' camps were closed, which eventually expanded its area.

More than double.

One side of the wall of the Knights' Camp is connected to the Knight Guard Station in the Royal Forest Park. You can enter the palace at any time through the Royal Forest Park and it is part of the palace defense system.

There are currently nearly 400 people receiving knight training in the knight camp. These people can be regarded as quasi-knights. Together with the hundreds of knights from the Royal Guard, it is enough to protect the safety of the palace in the event of any trouble.

When the two arrived at the training camp, a lot of people had gathered here. At a rough count, there were hundreds of people. They were wearing various clothes. Some were wearing workers' overalls, some were wearing pastry chef's clothes, and some were wearing...

He was dressed like a gang leader. All in all, it looked like people from all walks of life in Donglin City had gathered here.

However, if you use the mental network to carefully check the physical conditions of these people, you will find that these people are, without exception, very strong and proficient in fighting. They have many weapons hidden on their bodies, and some of them even have some minor symptoms.

traces of variation.

There is no doubt that these people, like Leo, are elites dispatched from various departments in Donglin City, and they should all be working in the Seventh Research Institute.

Although they may be colleagues in the future, because they are from different departments, and some departments are still hostile, everyone who comes here is wary and has no intention of talking to each other. They each find a corner to stay.

When Leo and Sylvia arrived, these people's eyes glanced over the two of them inadvertently, and many of them showed a hint of contempt, obviously because of the two of them dressed as college students.

Only a few people who knew that the two of them were from the Special Operations Department showed a hint of vigilance.

Although the Special Operations Office has great power in the French Empire, the various government departments within France, especially the military department, are not very clear about the actual situation of this department. In addition to the frontline detective work of the Special Operations Office,

The officers are targeting those mutants and rarely work with other departments to jointly handle cases. More importantly, the identities claimed by the Special Operations Division are actually staff of the Royal Secret Service, the General Internal Affairs Department, the Judicial Investigation Department, etc., unless there are special cases.

Otherwise, he rarely reveals his identity as the Special Operations Office to outsiders. Therefore, for most government departments in the French Empire, the Special Operations Office is more like an urban legend. Whether it really exists is still unknown.

Leo and Sylvia didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Like everyone else who came here, they randomly found a corner of the barracks and stood against the wall, waiting for what would happen next.

After that, more than a hundred people came to the small square of the training camp one after another, and the number of people also increased to more than five hundred. Everyone did not talk but stood quietly everywhere, and there was an extremely strange scene around them.

atmosphere of silence.

When it was almost noon, a middle-aged man wearing a special military uniform came here, took out a list, recited the names one by one, and finally said to everyone: "Whoever reads the name, follow me."

After saying that, without any explanation, he turned around and walked back the way he came.

Those who heard their names immediately walked out of the crowd and followed quickly.

Others didn't show anything strange to the middle-aged man's appearance, but Leo frowned slightly when he saw the middle-aged man. The reason why his expression changed was not because of the middle-aged man himself, but because of the middle-aged man himself.

The clothes worn by the middle-aged man are obviously the work clothes of the Loklos people. The only difference is that the clothes lack some technological elements and are just cut and woven from pure cloth.

The Lockros are a rare humanoid alien race. Their appearance is very similar to humans, but they are taller than humans, have four arms, and have different numbers of horns on their heads. Their status will be

It is determined by the number and size of the horns on the head. The bigger and more horns, the higher the status.

The relationship between this race and humans is very general. In the early days, it was even a hostile relationship, because their image is somewhat similar to the demons mentioned in the religion of the old Earth era. Although the religion has been weak since entering the Earth Federation, it is still

There are still many people who believe in various religions, and there are also many people who believe in the existence of demons and angels, but they believe that the so-called demons and angels in religious legends are actually psykers or omega-level advanced life forms.

When they first encountered the Rockros, the commander of the human fleet attacked the Rockros first because of a misunderstanding. As a result, they caused huge losses to the other side. As a result, the two interstellar civilizations fell into a war that lasted for hundreds of years, resulting in casualties.

Countless times, the war finally subsided and the two sides reached a diplomatic relationship, but the atmosphere of hostility between the two peoples is still very strong.

Leo didn't know much about the Rockros, but he knew their clothes very well, because the daily combat uniforms of the bionics were improved from the clothes of the Rockros, and they were very similar to the clothes worn by the middle-aged man just now.

Similar, when he first saw it, he almost thought that the middle-aged man was a biochemical warrior from the Earth Federation.

The appearance of this middle-aged man also made Leo suspect that the French Empire should have obtained a technological item from the Rockros. It might be the wreckage of a battleship, or it might be something else, but there was at least one complete body of the Rocklos inside.

, otherwise, it would be impossible to restore their costumes so well.

Later, people wearing the same clothes came here one after another, announced their names, and took the people away without stopping or explaining.

After about six or seven batches of more than 200 people left, Leo and Sylvia's names were called out by a young woman. There were a dozen others whose names were called out like them. Without exception, these dozen people were all called out.

They are mutants with signs of mutation.

Like the others before them, Leo and the others did not speak, but followed the young woman.

The group of people soon came to a row of carriages. The young woman motioned to Leo and the others to get into the carriages whose doors and windows were all covered. Without hesitation, everyone got into a carriage. After closing the door, the young woman opened the door again.

Lock it up outside.

As the body swayed, the carriage moved forward slowly. Because the interior of the carriage was completely enclosed, all the gaps that could be seen outside were blocked by layers of black gauze, so normal people could not determine their position.

location.

However, this is obviously of no use to Leo. His mental network can easily penetrate the car's obstruction and sense the situation outside.

The carriage did not go to the royal garden where Leo thought the Seventh Research Institute was located. Instead, it drove out of the Knights District, passed through the administrative district, passed through the Golden Garden, and drove out of Donglin City from the northwest gate of Donglin City.

Leo couldn't help but frown when he discovered this. He couldn't help but wonder if the Seventh Research Institute was not in Donglin City? If that was the case, his plan would have to change, because his fundamental purpose of coming here could be

It is not about investigating the secrets of the Fran Empire, but about taking the contract ring from the treasure house. Anything that goes against the fundamental purpose is secondary.

However, Leo's guess did not come true. After the team circled around the suburbs, they entered Donglin City from another city gate, and then walked around the city for half a day before returning to the actual training camp.

The path between the Knights' Training Camp and the Royal Guards Station leads into the Royal Gardens.

However, the carriage did not stay in the royal garden for too long. It passed through the edge of the garden and drove to the Feast Palace.

After discovering this, Leo couldn't help but be stunned. He couldn't help but feel that this carriage would directly take him to his destination.

However, because he was close to the palace, the powerful force that protected the palace reappeared, forcing Leo to stop using the extremely convenient mental network and instead use his own extraordinary perception to pass through the road conditions and vibration details when the carriage was driving.

Wait for clues, analyze and deduce your current location and surrounding environment.

After that, nearly half an hour or so passed. The carriage stopped, but the door was not opened. Then a mechanical roar was heard, and the carriage trembled slightly. Others did not know what was going on, but

Leo knew, however, that they were now on a huge lifting platform, and that the lifting platform was taking them down to the ground.

After about a few minutes, the carriage vibrated again, and the mechanical sound stopped. The carriage started again and walked forward for about ten minutes, then stopped again. Not long after, the sound of unlocking was heard from outside.

The car door opened immediately, and dazzling light came in from the outside.

Leo didn't care about the change in the light. He walked out of the carriage and looked around. He saw that there were a large number of cosmic civilization technologies that were obviously from the Rockros. This also proved that Leo had seen the costumes of the Rocklos before.

As a result of speculation at the time, the French Empire obtained the wreckage of a Lockros starship.

Judging from various signs around it, such as the Loklos star characters that have not disappeared, this should be the living area cabin of a battleship. The interior is very large, enough to accommodate a small area of ​​​​the city. The metal plates of the entire living cabin are made of a special
