Menethil's Power

Chapter 217 In the same boat
After confirming Baldrige's words, there was some commotion in the crowd, and most people's eyes turned to the small boats on the shore.

"On the island?" There were voices of doubt one after another, and soon turned to a question for Baldrige. "Will there be a boat to pick us up?" a bold civilian youth asked bravely.

Baldrige shook his head slightly, "No."

The commotion in the crowd intensified, "Just these few broken ships, do you want us all to swim over?" Someone asked sharply.

"I have already said that you can take any method, as long as you reach that island before tomorrow." Baldridge still narrated in a calm tone.

"Any way?" Bufa's quick-responsive person immediately grasped the point of Baldridge's words, "I want to see my servant!" Several other noble teenagers also made this request one after another. Their families Maybe not top-notch, but it's doable with a few ships on Loch Lordamere.

"Any attempt to leave this place is a violation of the rules. You'd better rely on your own strength to accomplish this goal, otherwise you will be regarded as all out." Baldridge's tone remained unchanged.

Everyone was silent suddenly. No matter where they came from, they had been told the importance of entering the Royal Military Academy before they came here. After entering the academy, they would be appreciated by the crown prince and become successful, so no one was willing to give up easily.But now a short stretch of water was an effective hindrance.The reason they were taken for such a long distance was to keep them away from their servants or assistants, and Baldrige, a heroic paladin, obviously couldn't be bought, so the only thing he could rely on now was himself... and Those poor little boats.

A tall boy suddenly came out from the crowd, he had a rough face, stubborn and fierce, walked straight to the side of the boats under everyone's surprised eyes, and started to untie the cable of one of them very quickly.

"What are you doing, idiot?" someone demanded immediately.

"You're the idiot!" A wild smile squeezed out of Gundam Boy's rough facial features. He pushed the boat into the water, then turned over and got in. There were still some dazed students on the shore in front of him. "Don't you understand? This is a cruel competition! The Royal Military Academy only needs the best talents, and these ships represent the only places for admission! Those who have no strength can only watch helplessly on the shore !"

He made a scary but plausible assumption that the college would like these freshmen to have a brutal internal competition before the start of the semester, or at least to distinguish the good from the bad.

However, this "truth revealer" seems to be a little too complacent. He can't wait to express his true knowledge and opinions before the boat leaves the lake shore. Obviously, this is definitely not a safe enough distance.So what responded to him was a few fist-sized arcane missiles galloping towards him—after all, this group of young people with the most potential in the kingdom, among them there are a few talented mage apprentices who have mastered low-level spells. Naturally, there are not enough Surprised.

The stout boy who boarded the boat was knocked out with almost no room to dodge, but he didn't seem to be injured at all. His thick body turned out of the boat and fell on the shallows, splashing a lot of muddy water.This became the starting point of a scuffle.

The one who released the arcane missile was a brown-haired young man wearing the robe of a sorcerer's apprentice. He didn't have time to observe his own results, because another guy not far away from him was not much slower than him. The idiot of the boat, but the other party's target is the mage apprentice bar itself. The moment the arcane bullet was released, he immediately took out his dagger and rushed over.The motivation of the attackers is very simple. Since there are limited ships to be seized, it is very important to prioritize the difficult competitors.

The Lordaeron Guards did not search their belongings at all when they were allowed in, which further increased the danger of this scuffle. Most of them were minors, but basically they all had sharp weapons for "self-defense". Once there are casualties, it can be said to be a huge blow to the reputation of the royal family.

The number of ships is fixed, and it seems that only a fight can determine who is qualified to sit on it. This view quickly gained the majority of people who are capable of fighting and are quite confident in themselves, so the scene suddenly became chaotic. The teenagers with pale faces were obviously frightened, while the young girls couldn't help screaming.

Damn it, Renault cursed secretly, he never expected that things would fall into this situation in a blink of an eye, and seeing the presence of the paladin old god, it seemed that this situation was what he was happy to see.

Lei Nuo took two steps back slowly, protecting the two girls behind him, and began to think hard about countermeasures. Now he should think about how to snatch a ship so that he and the two girls can enter the Royal Military Academy instead of returning in despair. Tyr's Hand disgraced his father.

As for the dogmas of justice and equality, they are all formal slogans and spiritual symbols. Renault believes that these rigid theories must be broken under extraordinary circumstances.

"It's unbelievably stupid." Whitemane snorted coldly, "I really don't understand why these people have such ridiculous ideas? Could it be that our country will let her children fight each other like wild beasts?"

"You don't know, Sally, this world is so indifferent and cruel..." Renault smiled wryly.

"I don't think so." Durand on the side rubbed his stubble, "Don't you think it's too cheap to fight for these small sampans? If the academy really needs us to fight each other Let's see who has the highest force, so why use such an unreliable method?"

But it is clear that not many people have this awareness, and the conflict seems to be intensifying.

The chaos lasted for a long time, and finally someone couldn't stand it anymore, "Enough! Stop it!"

It was a boy's voice with a voice-changing voice. Lei Nuo followed the voice and found that it was the blond boy he had paid special attention to.The boy's angry shout did not elicit any reaction, so he looked sternly at the armored paladin, "Reinhardt! As a prince, I order you to end this farce!"

"I'm sorry Your Highness, but I can't obey your orders, because all of this is due to your brother's will, and I'm just an executor." The paladin in full armor gave a standard military salute, but there was no words concession.

Your Highness?Renault, who had been paying attention to this conversation, was really taken aback. He had already guessed that this boy must have a noble status, but he didn't expect him to be one of the most noble people in this kingdom, His Royal Highness who is 14 years old. he is the one……

Alsace felt very irritated. This situation seemed to be that his brother had put some unrealistic ideas into action again, but judging from the scene, if no measures were taken, there would be a big mess. If there were casualties, it would definitely affect the royal family and The newly established Royal Military Academy had a huge impact,
"Enough! Everyone stop!" Alsace turned around and yelled as loudly as possible again, but his voice was drowned out in an instant. Obviously he needed a more conspicuous means to get others' attention. The little prince started Trying to gather the little holy energy in his body, trying to create a dazzling flash of light,
However, this move did not produce the desired effect. After all, Arthas had only a short period of time to awaken the Seed of Holy Light, and his luminous ability was only at the level of a fluorescent tube.But suddenly his surroundings became extremely bright, and a blazing light descended from the sky, enveloping the little prince.

This visually excellent gesture has no practical effect, but it is not something Alsace can use at this level. Obviously Baldridge behind him helped.This "miracle" naturally made Alsace the focus, and most of the people who were snatching the ship also stopped and looked over with amazed eyes.

Before he had time to thank Baldrige behind him, Arthas looked at everyone with a serious expression, "I am Arthas Menethil, and as the Prince of Lordaeron, I order you all to stop all fighting!"

This order was carried out within a period of time, and the outbreak of fighting gradually subsided, and the young people slowly separated, looking at each other vigilantly.None of the people present were idiots, so naturally they would not face up against a Highness.

"What made you have to fight each other to get into the academy? Is it your greed, selfishness, or stupidity?" Arthas asked. "Don't you realize that our identities are already students?"

No one answered, so Alsace continued, "This obstacle is obviously not for us to fight each other and finally choose a few winners, because this is a test for our group! If there are really only a few people in the end If they arrive, then they are definitely not the winners, because they have abandoned their companions. Only by uniting can we tide over the difficulties!"

How could the academy allow these young people to fight among themselves when no teaching has yet started and most of the students do not have certain combat effectiveness?Is it necessary to judge combat talent by this?It is true that fighting is a very important field in this high magic world, but people are not born for fighting, and the Royal Military Academy is not an institution that only teaches people to fight.

Because of his honorable status and the special effects sponsorship given by Baldrige, Alsace's words quickly became effective, "What should we do?" Someone asked.

"Unite as one, follow my command." Alsace said without hesitation, in the case of many noble children, only he has the right to require everyone to obey.

"We are willing to serve." Those young officers who had been watching with cold eyes and never participated in this chaotic battle immediately expressed their opinion. Most of these active soldiers who had war experience formed a very unique group at this time. Watching this farce with a calm attitude.

"I am Renault, the son of Lord Mograine, and I am willing to follow His Highness's command." Renault also spoke immediately.

Soon Alsace's status as the person in charge was confirmed. Whether it was true or false, at least most of the noble children admitted this because of the direction of the wind.

Alsace took a deep breath. Although he had seen many big scenes, today seemed to be the first time he was in a dominant position. "Colonel Baldridge," he turned and asked, "this is how far away is the island where the college is located?" How far?"

"About five kilometers," Baldrige replied.

This distance is very subtle. It is almost noon now, and it is obviously impossible to return before midnight. At the same time, this distance is almost the limit distance that a standard elite fighter can swim.

However, among these students, those with elite physical fitness will never exceed three digits, and most of them are still young officers.

"You just said that any intention to leave this place is considered out, but this is only to prevent the use of family power. But if we want all of us to go to the island, obviously these small boats are not enough, we must leave to find In other ways, I can guarantee that they will not contact outsiders."

Baldrige made a hand gesture, "You have the right." He said.

Alsace turned around and looked at the other students, trying to recall what Isaacs did when he was giving orders, "We need a lot of vehicles now, and this is the only way we can get on Academy Island."

If there are only one or two people or even a team of 40 people, there are not too many ways to cross the water. Walking on water is only a mid-level auxiliary spell, and there are potions that can achieve the same effect, but once more than a hundred people are involved, these means It's a little unrealistic.

"Those who practice the Holy Light come out," Elsas said.

Seven to eighty people stood up one after another, and Renault led Bridget and Whitemane to the forefront.

"Can I trust you?" Alsace looked at Renault with a certain light in his eyes.

Renault straightened his back, "Of course, Your Highness."

"Very well, I ask you to lead a team along the lake. There are many fishermen in Lake Lordamere. I hope you can persuade them to borrow our fishing boats. Of course, it would be even better if you can find a merchant fleet, but there is little hope. , that place must have ulterior motives in choosing this location." Elsass ordered, and couldn't help complaining at the end.

Renault understood that "that guy" in the prince's mouth referred to his elder brother, so he wisely did not make any comments, but nodded to show that he understood.

Alsace turned to look at the others, "As for the others, follow me to the eastern woodlands. Although it is said that Tirisfal prohibits cutting down trees privately, it is obviously out of control now. We must use what we have. tools to make a little rough raft."

He took a few steps forward, then turned around abruptly, "Maybe it will be difficult for us to achieve our goal before tomorrow, but please remember one thing, all of us will either arrive at the Academy Island at the same time, or all of us will be issued, no one will abandon Everyone else went to the island alone, including me,"

"Because from now on, we are one and all must be united!"
