Chapter 285 Opening, Graduation Test
Early November, Donglu World.
The desolate Gwebinin Empire.
This winter was colder than any other, with no snow and no sunny days.
Yabusis was once the largest commercial port in Gwebinin and a bay city-state built on the mountain. Today, it has been eaten by monsters from outside the domain until not a single tree remains.
The southeastern port is a large island 500 meters above sea level, with two 200-meter bridges leading directly to the Yabusic city-state.
On the north side of the bay, there are two small islands connected by a bridge. They are also bare, with nothing but dilapidated buildings.
The entire bay and the 18-kilometer beach, although there are layers of houses, are now deserted.
Six large warships docked at South Island Port. They were a fleet of warships from the Briffin School of Magic of the Oberic Empire and the Imperial Military Academy.
Isabella looked at the desolation of Yabusis City with indifferent eyes. The city streets, bunkers and turrets, the huge mansion on the mountain, and the admiral's mansion had all been baptized by extraterritorial demon insects for nearly two years.
In the city, the people walking around are all adventurers from this homeland, as well as mercenary groups and adventurer teams from the Oberic Empire and the Tiuwaz Empire.
Their arrival guarded the island chain gate leading from the East Continent to the West Continent, preventing these monsters that no one could control from attacking the faraway Fuzhong Continent or even the farther West Continent.
The city is not located at a high latitude, only 36 degrees north latitude. It used to be a land of green mountains and blue seas. Now the city of Yabusis is like wood burned to ashes in the cold wind, just like today's cloudy day.
If I didn't know that this city was destroyed more than a year ago, at first glance, I would have thought it was old and dilapidated, as if it had gone back to two hundred years ago.
Those stationed in the city of Yabusis must have reached the primary level 2 or above.
Because we are confronting the extraterritorial magic insects. Although they are at the elementary level, they can fly, release toxic gases, and some can even isolate fire magic.
This graduation test will last from November this year to July next year.
We will return to the Oberic Empire in early August next year.
Isabella felt a little emotional. She still remembered that when more than a thousand students in the same grade entered school, they had a hard time killing a primary demonized wild boar. Now they have all reached the second level of primary level and have become independent magic sorcerers.
I am a deity who is ten thousand times more powerful than them. I just hope that this life of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger will not end so soon.
There are more than 1,500 students at the Imperial Military Academy.
They were all dragoons, nineteen years old, and had two years of theoretical and practical experience.
Unlike Briffin's juniors and seniors, their trial period was only two short months.
Two months later, it was the turn of the next batch of seniors from the Imperial Military Academy.
There will definitely be more people, and they will all be the empire's future magic heavy cavalry, and they will all be at the leader level or above.
This port will transport enough supplies for 5,000 people and more than 600 dragons to consume for 35 days in the early part of every month. There is more than enough basic supplies to live here.
The first to land were the Imperial Military Academy team, who brought out six hundred white dragons and lined up in an orderly formation, heading towards the old military camp on Nangang Mountain.
A white dragon weighs 1,500 kilograms and is three times larger than a demonized griffin. Its flying speed and strength are the lowest among all tamed dragon riders.
The strength of an adult Bai Haolong is equivalent to that of three human intermediate first-level magic warriors.
Once you encounter a high-level monster in the sky, you can still fight with the power of the dragon rider.
Finally, five black crystal dragons appeared.
Isabella showed a smug smile on her face. That was the dragon rider team of the Saint's Admiration Guild, a dragon rider team hired by the Charlemagne royal family of the Oberic Empire to deal with possible crises caused by elite monsters.
Around Isabella, several students exclaimed in amazement and started talking about it.
"Five black crystal dragons! So shocking!"
"This is the first time I see a black crystal dragon! It's so huge! The feeling of oppression is so strong!"
"The cost of raising a black crystal dragon is very high. The cost in one year is equivalent to that of raising fifty red flame dragons!"
"Yes! With them here, we can get through the graduation test without any worries, but... with so many students, how can we have enough monsters? With my current strength, I will definitely have no problem fighting a one-on-one with a primary monster!"
Several people from the water department class started bragging...
Isabella activated the earth dragon's induction. Within a radius of 200 kilometers, there were very few groups of monsters, only 500,000 in number, and they were extremely scattered.
Perhaps someone had swept the area in advance, allowing everyone to land safely for a long time. There was a sentry post every ten kilometers along the way, which was enough to prepare in advance to deal with the monster tide.
Two hours later, students from the Briffin School of Magic disembarked from the warship one after another. At the same time, two hundred court magic swordsmen also disembarked from the warship.
They are the Seventh Prince's guards, and because some people in the Thunder Squad have special status, they will choose to be stationed in the camp closest to the mountainside.
This time, men and women did not live together, but lived separately, and everyone had their own small room.
The waves on the sea were lazily moving, the flying seabirds were landing on the dilapidated lighthouse, and the afterglow of the setting sun watched the three warships sailing away.
Two months later, they will bring supplies and also young cavalry regiments...
The playground of the Nangang West District military camp at night.
The mobilization meeting of Briffin School of Magic.
All the teachers and students of Briffin School of Magic gathered together.
The person standing on the stage and speaking was the Grand Master of the Court Knights.
His tone was passionate and his voice was loud and clear: "The degree of danger of the graduation test is greater than any other trial. This continent is full of a large number of foreign monsters. I hope you have learned about their weaknesses in detail on the way here!"
"Starting tomorrow, our range of activities will be within fifteen kilometers of Yabusis Port!"
"... Strictly follow the formation deployment of each class. If any emergency occurs, you must respond calmly."
"The magic swordsmen and magic students of each class must cooperate seriously. If anyone is missing, report it to the court swordsman in a timely manner."
"The evaluation criteria for the graduation test are based on your individual performance in the group... not on the number of monsters killed..."
After more than ten minutes, everyone was able to disperse.
Isabella sensed a familiar fluctuation of magical power.
On the first night, ten high-level magicians came in a hurry. They were members of Group A of the Almighty Eye. The magic fluctuations of these people were deliberately suppressed to the primary third level.
They lived deep in the city of Yabusis, and it was very likely that these people were sent by the king to protect the seven princes.
The six hundred white dragons of the Imperial Military Academy have been stationed in the fifty-kilometer first line of defense outside the city of Yabusis.
Before going to bed, Milushia and her companions came to an observation deck, where they could overlook the entire Yabusis Bay.
Milushia complained, "Other colleges use drills for their graduation tests, but we go straight to the battlefield, and many of our students are from aristocratic families! The level of adventure here is no different from that of soldiers going to the battlefield!"
