This is too far-fetched.
"Yes, that's 800,000. You heard it right."
Facing Elina's surprised expression, Victoria smiled slightly and explained:
"In fact, I was also shocked by this number at the beginning. I was recruiting soldiers in the sphere of influence of Yas City according to your instructions, but I didn't expect that everyone's passion would be much greater than I imagined. Many of them signed up to join the army enthusiastically, and many of them cried loudly because they didn't meet our recruitment standards and were eliminated."
“Not only that, even many refugees or mixed-bloods who do not belong to Yas City but live outside the region heard the news and joined the Yas City team.”
"Teacher, this time, we are truly what people want."
Victoria sighed. It was the first time she had seen someone so enthusiastic about joining the army. If this happened in the human race, such a thing would never happen.
Among the human race, in the Alek Empire, joining the army and participating in wars have always been beneficial only to the high-ranking nobles. For the common people, it is tantamount to a meat grinder.
Therefore, during peacetime battles, the empire's army could still hold on, but once a full-scale war broke out, many places even had to conscript young men to get enough soldiers.
As for the scene in Yas City where everyone was vying for the first place, I had never seen it before.
"Once you become a human being, you will never be a slave again."
After listening to Victoria's report, Elena was silent for a long time, then sighed heavily.
Elina had a deep understanding of what kind of life the refugees from outside the territory lived.
They joined the army and fought not for Elena, but for themselves, so that they and their children could live in a peaceful and beautiful world.
For this, they are willing to sacrifice everything, even their precious lives.
"Yes, teacher, I think the Alec Empire needs to learn from Yas City in this regard."
After hearing what Elina said, Victoria nodded in approval.
In the Alek Empire, after the war was won, only the nobles and the strong could gain benefits, while the lower-class soldiers and civilians could only fill their stomachs at best.
Such an army would never be able to match the Yas Legion in terms of combat effectiveness.
"However, with so many people rushing into the army at the same time in such a short period of time, can the logistics keep up? Will it affect the combat effectiveness of the original army? Especially for those recruited from outside, have their backgrounds been carefully checked? It would be bad if there were spies from the Eternal Night."
After a brief excitement, Elena thought of some very realistic problems and talked a lot.
It’s not that Elena has any doubts about them. After all, with so many people, there are bound to be good and bad people.
"Don't worry, teacher. These matters are handled by a special department. After five years of growth, the current Yas City is no longer the same as it was back then."
Hearing Elina's concerns, Victoria smiled and said that there was no need to worry about these problems.
In fact, the security department did find out a lot of spies related to Yongye, but without exception, all of these people were caught.
Even if there are some that are deeply hidden and have not been discovered, they will eventually be exposed after the rigorous screening and investigation by Yas City in the future, so there is no need to worry.
"Yes, I forgot that now in Yas City, there are people specifically responsible for these matters."
After hearing Victoria's reply, Elena smiled bitterly and shook her head helplessly.
The current Yas City is no longer the makeshift city it once was.
The current Yas City has become a mature force with clear division of labor and strict organization. For many things, Elina only needs to mention them and the people under her will naturally take charge of them.
However, although the city of Yas has undergone such great changes, Elina still subconsciously treats this city that she founded as the small, immature city five years ago.
"Teacher Elina, there are guests outside who want to see you. They claim to be your students."
Just as Alina and Victoria were talking, Leah suddenly pushed the door and walked in.
"my student?"
After hearing what Leah said, Elina was stunned for a moment and couldn't react for a while.
"Teacher! It must be the students from Class D!!"
Victoria was the first to react, and she looked at Elena with some excitement.
To be honest, the six months she spent studying at Dunbarton College were the happiest days of her life.
There, she had no pressure from her father, nor could she see the intrigues in the palace. Every day she just hung out with a group of classmates who were a little arrogant but very cute. When she had nothing to do, she would follow teacher Elina to learn some magic.
To be honest, although Victoria's life was fulfilling after arriving in Yas City, compared with her life in college, it was far from being as happy and comfortable as when she was in college.
Later, when Victoria left Dunbarton College, she missed her classmates a lot. Although she had always been the quiet leader in the class, she did think of those classmates from time to time in Yas City.
"Well, they should be the only ones left. If we calculate the time now, they should have graduated successfully in a year."
Elina nodded and said with a smile.
"Teacher, let's go meet them quickly. They must have heard about your plan outside the domain and came here!"
Looking at Victoria's excited little face, Elena couldn't help but smile. Although this girl didn't say it on the surface and it couldn't be seen, she was actually more passionate than anyone else.
"Okay, then let's go meet them. This will give me, their former teacher, a chance to see how their magic practice has improved over the years."
Having said that, Elina stood up with a smile and walked towards the door.
(Thank you for supporting the cute battle. Whether I can make it through the auditions depends on you. Thank you everyone!)
Chapter 49 Richard's Trouble
As soon as Elina walked out of the meeting hall, she could see a group of people waiting at the door of the meeting hall.
These people, led by Brady, seemed to be chattering about something excitedly. It was obvious that they were very excited.
At a glance, those once immature students have all grown up. They were just children in the academy, but now they have shed their childishness and become mature.
"Teacher Elina!"
The first person to discover Elena was that guy Brady.
Speaking of which, this guy has grown from the slightly frivolous young master into a young talent.
He was wearing a simple yet exquisite white magic robe, with a strong magical aura floating around him. He was less impetuous and frivolous, and more calm. It seemed that he had grown a lot in the past five years.
"Teacher Elina! Long time no see!"
After hearing Brady's shout, all the students reacted and rushed to Elena excitedly.
To be honest, it's been five years, and many of the people here have changed so much that Elena hardly recognizes them anymore.
"Teacher Elina! I'm Roy, the fattest one in the class!"
A handsome man with a good figure squeezed out from the crowd and said excitedly.
"You're Roy?!"
Looking at the man in front of her who had a golden body, Elina could hardly believe her eyes.
When he was in the class, he was the fattest. Because of this, he couldn't even keep up with the rest of the class when running, and was often punished by Lamia.
I didn't expect that he is so thin now, and feeling the fluctuation of magic power around him, this guy is quite powerful now.
"You've changed so much that I can't recognize you anymore."
Elina sighed. Five years is not a long time actually, but for these students who were just boys and girls back then, it was enough time for earth-shaking changes to happen.
"Hehe, after you left the academy, I started to lose weight and studied magic diligently. Before graduation, I was honored as an outstanding graduate of Dunbaron Public College. Now I am a top-level Brilliant Mage."
After hearing what Elina said, Roy scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
In fact, he suffered a lot after Elena left the academy. Of course, he would not mention these things to Elena.
"Roy was a popular guy in the academy. There were countless junior and senior students who pursued him madly, but this guy didn't like any of them. Later, he became anxious because of the entanglement. He even declared that he would never marry unless he could become a temple-level mage in this lifetime. This made his father very anxious."
Seeing Roy's embarrassed look, Brady took the opportunity to dismantle his plan.
"Hey! Brady, you can't be like this! You're destroying me right in front of Teacher Elina!"
Roy was a little upset after hearing what Brady said. His biggest headache now was getting home.
Seeing Roy's anxious look, the students around him laughed. It seemed that they were very clear about Roy's deeds in the academy.
"Okay, stop making fun of Roy. Brady, tell me about yourself. I remember when you were in college, didn't your family have a childhood sweetheart? How is he doing now?"
Seeing Roy's embarrassed look, Elena came out with a smile to help him out.
As soon as Roy heard Alina mention Brady, he immediately became interested. His eyes lit up and he quickly poured out everything.
"Haha, Teacher Alina, Brady and his childhood sweetheart are inseparable now. They have a great relationship and are expected to get married this year."
"is it?"
After hearing what Roy said, Alina looked at Brady with some surprise. She didn't expect that her student was about to get married and start a family.
"Hey, that's right. I originally planned to invite you to our wedding, but when I thought about how busy you were and how many things you had to do, I didn't plan to inform you. I didn't expect that Roy would tell me everything."
When asked by Elena, Brady became a little shy and his tone was a little hesitant, but from his expression, it can be seen that Brady is very happy now.
It seems that a lot must have happened between him and Bella in these five years.
Elina is really happy to see her students gain their own happiness.
"What you said is wrong. After all, I was once your mentor. You must inform me when you get married. I will definitely go."
Alina said with a smile, but his words surprised Brady.
Elena's current status on this continent is no longer comparable to that of the mentor at Dunbarton College.
If Mentor Elina could appear at his and Bella's wedding, the entire Sub-Saint Fortress would be shocked.
"Are you really going?!"
Brady asked in disbelief.
"Of course. After all, marriage is a major event in life. I will go."
Elena smiled and nodded, then looked among the crowd. Soon, she found that Richard was not among the group of students.
Elena had a deep impression of Richard. When she was a magic instructor at Dunbaron College, the four people who impressed her the most were Victoria, Brady, Richard and Roy.
Now Brady and Roy are here, why is Richard not here?
According to Richard's personality, he should come with these students.
"Why don't I see Richard? How is he doing now?"
After searching around and indeed not finding any trace of Richard, Elena couldn't help but ask curiously.
Unexpectedly, when Alina mentioned Richard, not only Brady and Roy, but also many other students' expressions dimmed.
"Did something happen to Richard? What happened to him?!"
Elina was so smart that she could tell from the expressions of the students that Richard was definitely in trouble, and it was a big trouble.
Otherwise, they would not have this expression.
"Hey, Teacher Elina, you should know that Richard is from a family of cardinals. Since the liquidation of the Divine Court five years ago, the cardinals died or fled, and Charles' family soon fell."
"Not only that, Charles' father and grandfather were influential figures in the Divine Court, so when they were liquidated, Charles was also implicated and is now imprisoned in the Obsidian Prison."
"I tried to use the power of my family to save him several times, but my father stopped me every time. He warned me not to get involved in this vortex. This level of purge is not something a small Marquis family like us can get involved in."
Brady sighed helplessly and shook his head, his face full of self-blame.
To be honest, after getting along with Charles in the academy, he had already regarded him as his friend, but he had no way to help him when he saw him suffering.
This feeling really put Brady in torture for a long time.
"Teacher Elina, it's not just Richard. Many students in the class who were originally affiliated with the Holy See have been persecuted. Six of them, like Charles, were thrown into the Obsidian Prison because of their close relationship with the Holy See. If it weren't for Dean Myron's forcible protection, it is estimated that all the students in the class who had ties with the Holy See would have been thrown into prison."
As soon as Brady finished speaking, Roy added something indignantly.
His eyes could almost spit out anger.
In his eyes, Dunbarton College was an extremely sacred place, but those bastards actually brought political struggles into the college and even persecuted his good friends, which made him even more unbearable.
"That's it."
After hearing what Brady and Roy said, Elena's face turned cold almost instantly. She looked carefully at the students who came to Yas City and found that those students who had close relations with the Divine Court were indeed missing.
Speaking of which, Elena was actually also somewhat responsible for this matter. After she killed Diogenes, she ignored other matters and allowed those nobles to continue to escalate the situation, which led to her innocent students being implicated.
Of course, Elena had no regrets about killing Diogenes, nor did she feel that she had made a mistake.
But her students were definitely affected by her.
She can ignore other people, but she must save her own students!
That’s right, Elena is such a protective person.
