Chapter 18 Awakening the Sleeping Tiger (Part 2)

The walls of the military school are made of bricks to save money With a height of less than 1.7 meters, Winters didn't have to run up if he wanted to turn over, and the female thief also climbed the wall to get in and out.

Now that the thief has run away, we can only let the whole school count the items and see what is missing to know what the female thief has stolen.

"Where's the people? Damn it!" A voice shouted out loudly from outside the house: "Guards!"

Oops, Winters shuddered. Patronizing the chat, forgetting to stand guard.

The four hurried out of the duty room.

A high-level officer riding a jujube red steed dismounted neatly and, without any explanation, swung his whip at the four guards.

"Report! North Gate Yegang! There should be six people! There are actually four people!" Winters unfathomable mystery

But a military academy is an army, and it must not be hard-topped at this time.

The lighting was so poor that Winters couldn't recognize who the other party was, but from the details of the uniform, it could be seen that it was the school officer.

“Where is the officer on duty?” the colonel asked sharply.

"Report! Going to scout the fire!" Winters gradually saw the other's features.

In front of him was a face with eagle eyes, a nose job and thin lips.

This face belongs to the head of the school headquarters, the nominal second-in-command of Luyuan, and the actual head of the family.

“Why not report it?” The Minister was furious.

"Report! I! No! Know! Do!" Winters yelled back. It's a vent, but he really doesn't know.

The staff on duty are all low-level faculty members. Although the Lu Academy has prepared single-family residences for officers at the school level and above, high-level officers generally buy properties off-campus.

It's not that the short teacher on duty tonight doesn't want to report, but he really doesn't know which leader lives in the school tonight.

"Emergency assembly! Call everyone up! Line up at the North Gate playground!" The director did not continue to embarrass the four students.

"Yes!" The four received the order and immediately ran to ring the assembly bell.

"Wait a minute!" The Minister stopped Winters, who wanted to lift his leg and leave: "What happened to the arm?"

"Report! There is a thief! The thief uses a knife! I repel!" Winters was no nonsense, describing what happened in the most concise language.

In the face of the irritable Minister, he dared not say "a thief ran out of the school, I didn't stop her and let her escape". So he explained it from a different angle - and it wasn't a lie.

"Fuck! Dare to come to the army's territory to act wildly?" The Minister was furious, and the reaction was exactly the same as that of the instructor on duty: "Come to me tomorrow and give me a detailed report."

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

No assembly clock The sound of life sounded, followed by the sharp whistle of the guards. Like a wild beast in a light sleep, the army officer Academy was awakened in an instant.

The quiet theme of the night was replaced by noise, and the awakened military cadets in each dormitory jumped out of the beds, grabbed their clothes and swiftly put them on their bodies. They didn't have anything to carry, so they hurried out the door after getting dressed.

Someone shouted outside the door: "Gather at the North Gate playground! Assemble at the North Gate playground!" This is an order from the head of the Yegang students.

In this era of no portable kindling, there is no time for a nighttime emergency gathering at a military academy to light a fire. Everything had to be done in the dark, and the students went to the North Gate playground in the dark with the faint moonlight.

The crowd moves like a school of sardines in the sea, huddled together in silence but marching in unison, creating an eerie and regular beauty.

The military cadets who poured out of each dormitory quickly merged into the Beimen playground again. The vanguard lined up at the front, and the others quickly searched for their position in the queue.

Winters also ran back into the queue at this time, and Ike was startled by the wound on his shoulder. But small talk is not allowed in the army, so the two can only communicate with eyes. Each district team began to report the number and summary from the beginning to the end.

The instructors came from the stables and rode their horses to patrol around the phalanx of the officers and students. A sorcerer teacher brought a bunch of torches from the warehouse, ignited the torches with a fire technique, and distributed them to each teacher.

The entire Beimen playground was illuminated by firelight at this moment. The students have already stood in an orderly phalanx, waiting for orders.

The Minister rode on his beloved horse and watched from the front of the playground as Army Officer Academy's cadets assembled in an orderly manner in the dark, expressionless and nodded with imperceptible magnitude.

"174 people were expected to arrive in the first year department, and 174 people actually arrived!"

"175 people were expected to arrive in the second year department, and 173 people actually arrived!"

"There should be 172 people in the three-year department! 172 people actually arrived!"

"Report to the head of the department! The student battallion! The expected number of people is 521! The actual number of people reached 519! The report is completed."

"All! Stand at attention!" The headmaster's deafening voice resounded throughout the school, apparently using amplicon: "3 minutes! Bring all your tools! Go out to put out the fire! Disband!"

The Academy phalanx broke up again, and Winters hurried to the warehouse to get the tools. But he's actually a little strange. It's on fire. What's the matter with the fire in the residential area? Can't burn here again.

Several officers on duty who set out to find out the fire also returned at this time, and they quickly reported the situation to the Minister.

After hearing the report, the Minister immediately dispatched a messenger to inform other high-level officers of the military academy and the Interprovincial Army Department of the situation, and at the same time sent a messenger to the two infantry battallion stationed outside Jade City for help.

The cadets went back and forth, once again standing in a neat phalanx, only this time everyone had a few more tools in their hands.

This minister is not talking nonsense. With a wave of his hand, all the cadets of the military academy will form a six-column column along the main road to the Jade City port area.

"What happened?!" Ike didn't find a chance to ask Winters until the phalanx opened.

"Meet the thief, get the knife." Winters summed up the whole thing as briefly as possible.

"What thief still used the knife?"

"I don't know."

"Are you all right?"

" Flesh."

"Shut up!" The instructor, who was on horseback patrolling on the side of the trainee column, slammed the conversation between Winters and Ike.

They walked all the way through the low and dilapidated slums in the outermost circle of the city, the ruins of the demolished old city wall, the smelly workshops of leather craftsmen, I went to the houses that were disordered and in a mess in the port area, and finally arrived at the place where the fire happened.

It wasn't until then that Winters understood why the military academy was on fire when the residential area was on fire.

Because the first arsenal of the Gulf States Alliance Army of the Greater Cenas is burning.

Thank you for the recommendation votes. In fact, I have always been suspicious: except myself, there is no live person who simply voted for me. It may be that the website used a robot to vote for me a few encouraging votes. But anyway, these votes are inspiring me to keep writing. So if any living readers actually see this passage, thank you for reading it, and thank you for voting me up.
