Chapter 5 Trial Plan
The trial plan is very simple. There is a tower every 100 meters in the city wall in the south... It is said that it is a tower, but it is actually a specially planted steel coconut tree. The trunk grows inside the wall, the crown of the tree is high and the observation deck is set up near the crown.
The students' task is to divide into groups and watch out for the situation outside the city in Taichung.
The primitive continent is unpredictable, with monsters rampant, and a gathering place of large numbers of humans like Xuanyang City can attract the attention of monsters. Therefore, the city walls in the south are harassed by monsters almost every day, and solving these events is the task of the students.
It sounds quite simple, it's just hiding behind the city wall, calling the police, and shooting arrows. There's basically no need to leave the city, and there's no danger. Zhao Qiankun even felt a little bored.
But this is the first actual combat for freshmen after all, and it is not appropriate to make it too difficult. These freshmen have excellent basic qualities, but they lack practical experience. The main purpose of this time is to let them feel the atmosphere of practical combat.
There were 122 students in total, three in groups, and they were divided into thirty-eight groups, each with one magic student and two samurai students, who were responsible for guarding nineteen watchtowers. After all, it was impossible for students to monitor twenty-four hours and they always had to work shifts.
For the thirty-nine groups of students, one hundred and fourteen people were added, and there were still eight people left without distribution...
And these eight people don’t need to do a vigilance work.
First of all, Prince Serei. Because of his special identity and no magic, this prince was not sent to the observation deck. He just needed to experience the atmosphere at the top of the city. Most of the time, he was still a guest of honor.
And the remaining seven people are all masters!
There are six people in the Warriors:
Alex, who came from Sailan Binghai, fought side by side with the Paladin and participated in the dragon slaying;
Grace, who is from the forest of chaos, claims to be stronger than men;
The sister of the archery master Count Red Leaf, the sensitive little wild cat Susanna;
Exchange student from the Eastern Continent, Yingzhou samurai Heihachiro
The declining nobleman joined the army at the age of twelve, completed the beheading of a hundred people at the age of 15, and Grumman, a strong man who had made great achievements in military achievements at the age of 18;
The exchange student from the Eastern Continent and the noble son Cangxi with superb martial arts skills.
And there is only one person in the magic system:
Maggie, a genius girl from the Brighton family on the east coast of the empire;
These seven people formed a team and had special tasks to be carried out.
After assigning the students' tasks, Joan of Arc asked about Nangong Yu's situation and learned that he was not in the city.
"My brother left Xuanyang City at Yuechu and went to the main city of the Forest Elf to discuss a business. It will take a few days before he can return... If Miss Joan of Arc has something to do, I can convey it on his behalf!"
Joan of Arc waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, it really doesn't work. I can stay for a few more days."
...
The students were assigned to the city wall before they even had time to eat supper. Zhao Qiankun happened to be assigned to the first shift. As a student in the magic department, he was divided into a group with two samurai departments.
These two guys, one is a new baron from a small territory, with a good foil sword; the other is a civilian hunter, which makes him have good bows and arrows. Both of them are from the warriors. I heard that Zhao Qiankun is a mage in the top class, and they all thought they had held their thighs and respected him very much.
Zhao Qiankun couldn't help but dispel their enthusiasm, so he could only pretend to be a master, while chewing dry food, while bragging about how he talked and laughed with the genius magic girl Maggie. After all, that girl is famous enough that it is just right to brag.
The observation deck is very high, but it is very strong. The bottom is made of hard wooden boards and steel brackets, and the surroundings are covered with iron. In the direction of the interior, a huge trumpet horn is placed with the mouth facing a foot-pedal blower. A crossbow cannon is also set up toward the outside. The crossbow arrows are more than two meters long, comparable to a spear, and the power of the shooting can be imagined.
The space inside the observation deck is not small, and it is not a problem to accommodate five or six people under the premise of being full of ammunition and medicine. The three are quite spacious inside. As for the steel coconut trunk as the main trunk in the middle, even if it is close to the top, there are three people holding each other in a very strong way. The top of the tree still bears fruit, which looks very similar to ordinary coconuts, hanging above the roof of the observation deck. You can climb up and pick it down through a ladder. It is said that the taste is very good and is a famous specialty from the primitive continent.
In general, if you are not afraid of heights, life in the watchtower is quite comfortable. Your daily work is nothing more than paying attention to the movements in the jungle outside. When you find some monsters, you can drive them away with bows and arrows. If there are dangerous monsters or even groups of beasts attack, you will use a crossbow to deal with them. At the same time, step on the blower and sound the horn to remind the city to prepare for battle.
Xuanyang City has been built for hundreds of years and has also taken root in this land. The nearby monsters also know that humans here are not easy to mess with. They don’t easily have any powerful monsters to get into trouble. The little monsters that occasionally harass them are easy to deal with, and it is just right to practice for novices.
For ordinary students, being in the wilderness of the foreign land is already very adventurous. But for Zhao Qiankun, it is really boring.
The day before departure, Xue Lian specifically instructed him to write down any exciting adventures and tell her in detail after returning. The bard does not belong to the War Academy and cannot participate in the trial. Even if she can participate, she would not dare to come with Cangxi. She could only rely on Zhao Qiankun's story.
But now, I can pass the test after staying on this observation deck for a few days. What experience can I have? Zhao Qiankun even considered whether to sneak out of the city and see what this Jurassic Park in another world looks like.
But before that, let's sleep with this class first! Seeing the setting sun, Zhao Qiankun yawned, leaned against the trunk of the steel coconut tree, and fell asleep deeply. The so-called jet lag seemed to have no effect on him at all. And the two little soldiers were so excited that they could sleep, staring at the primitive jungle outside, looking forward to some monsters appearing for them to practice.
While the students on the watchtower were still adapting to the environment, the seven-person team that had formed had already crossed the city wall and entered the primitive jungle under the leadership of two mentors.
After the college's review, these seven people not only have outstanding strength, but also have certain practical experience. They have some underused trials in the observation deck, so they have arranged more difficult tasks.
Catch a carnivorous monster weighing at least five tons.
In the northern polar continent, one or two tons of carnivorous beasts like the snow bear can stand at the top of the food chain. The species in the East and West continents are much more prosperous, but in addition to legendary monsters such as the dragon clan, there are also rare carnivorous beasts that can reach five tons. They are all over the top of the ranks of one party. They are sang in the stories of the bard, oppressing the people, kidnapping the princess, and finally being killed by the brave.
But in the primitive continent, five tons? Even among the predators, they can only be considered small and medium-sized.
The elite team was moving forward in the jungle, and soon, Susanna, who was carrying arrows, discovered the clue.
"It's footprints!" the girl said after identifying it: "A very huge carnivore should meet our requirements!"
Susanna is tall, slim and beautiful, with a beautiful and charming face. Her black hair tied into a high ponytail behind her head and hangs straight to her waist. In addition to the longbow behind her, if it weren't for the iconic pointed ears, she would have easily been regarded as a beautiful female elf.
In fact, she does have some elves blood. Susanna comes from the Red Leaf family, the hereditary count of the Empire, and her brother is the contemporary Red Leaf Earl who is known as the first archer in the Empire. It is said that the first head of the Red Leaf family was a mixed blood of humans and elves. Although her bloodline has become much thinner after years of life, the people in their family still retain the beautiful appearance and unique temperament of the elves. Especially in terms of talent in bows and arrows, no one can match the empire.
"Can you judge the approximate position?" asked a beautiful female tutor with black hair and red lips. Her name was Angelina, and she was the instructor of the middle class of the Warrior Department. This time, she was with Husen from the Magic Department to guide students on special tasks.
Susanna shook her head: "Although the footprints are still very new, based on the distance, the speed of this monster is about fifty to seventy kilometers per hour. If she ran at full speed, she would have no idea where she would go!"
"It's okay, this is just the beginning!" Hosen smiled and said, "Continue to track, this guy can't escape our palms!"
Although I haven't seen it yet, Hosen could roughly guess the identity of the owner of this footprint.
After hundreds of years of cleaning by the Nangong family near Xuanyang City, the large monsters were driven away. The carnivorous beasts that can be found are basically only one dinosaur monster called the Big Jawdra.
The big-jawed dragon is a two-legged carnivorous dinosaur. As its name suggests, this monster has a huge head and an extremely huge mouth. It usually walks with two hind legs. In order to balance the huge and heavy head, it has an extremely thick tail behind it, while its front claws are relatively small. The overall image is different from the carnivorous dinosaurs on earth.
Although it is huge, the Jawdragon has a low IQ and has no special abilities. To put it bluntly, it is a large beast. Because of its huge size, ordinary soldiers may not be able to deal with it, but here are elite students with considerable strength, and with the assistance of two mentors, it is naturally no problem to catch it.
Susanna nodded and continued to track the footprints. The students led by her and continued to go deep into the jungle.
…………
The night passed quickly, and Zhao Qiankun slept comfortably. He didn't open his eyes until dawn, but found that the two boys were still looking outside nervously.
"Is there something wrong last night?" Zhao Qiankun asked, rubbing his eyes.
"It's okay!" the civilian archer complained: "Why are you okay? My archery is already hungry!"
"Yes, I'm still looking forward to meeting the monsters from the Primitive Continent!" The little baron also held the hilt of the sword in his hand, eager to try.
Chapter completed!
