We are in Terra and there is no book to read.

Manfred sat awake all night in his office. In the morning, the messenger knocked on the door and delivered the news of His Majesty's summons.He was in a daze and didn't notice, so he set off immediately.

When he came to the Sakaz Palace, he happened to meet a shapeshifter. The two of them invited Teresica together, and he was having breakfast at this time.

"So early? I was just trying to find you today, but you guys came over and wanted to have something together?"

Teresica asked the two of them to sit down, and before Manfred could speak, she directly told him about the military academy and troop training.

"The military training in Kazdale is no longer applicable. I plan to reorganize the Kazdale Military Academy into Kazdale Non-commissioned Officer School. Based on professional classifications such as infantry non-commissioned officers, communications non-commissioned officers, ordnance non-commissioned officers, it is responsible for providing professional grassroots non-commissioned officers to the troops. "

"The Kazdare Artillery College and the Staff College will be established separately. The former is responsible for providing professional artillery technical talents to the troops, and the latter is to provide the troops with senior military talents with excellent tactical and military technical qualities."

"There is also the training of soldiers. I also want to adjust it. It must be close to actual combat. Instructor..."

Although Victoria's military technology is ahead of Kazdaele, taking advantage of this major change in the development of warfare from close combat weapons to long-range attack weapons, as well as the intensive use of trench fortifications and drones, Kazdaele's current military The concept, at least in terms of the army, is actually slightly ahead of Victoria's.

But when it comes to continuing to explore this field without actual war and maintaining the advantage over Victoria, a set of excellent and effective training methods and qualified military education facilities are very important.

Training condenses experience, while education is the systematic organization and dissemination. The two complement each other.

However, the knowledge in Teresica's mind is also limited. He can only give the general direction and framework and try his best to explain the intention in detail. The remaining specific steps must be done by Manteuffel and Manfred. Professional people to fill in.And considering this is an unprecedented and critical moment that will have consequences for decades.

Teresica specifically conveyed his meaning to Manteuffel and Manfred respectively to prevent possible misunderstandings when instructions were conveyed layer by layer.In short, he handled it as carefully as possible within the scope of what he could consider and operate, and the rest was up to the two of them.

But Manfred was sweating profusely as he sat there.He is also a strong warrior himself, and this situation is extremely abnormal.

After all the thoughts in his heart were smoothly revealed, Teresica breathed a sigh of relief. He took a sip of water and asked casually.

"Will it be hot?"

Manfred shook his head repeatedly, which made his expression even stranger.

"Manfred."

"exist!"

"Do you... have anything to report?"

Manfred's expression became even worse. He wanted to report at first, but he kept struggling in his heart. He and the elders also came through the war together under the leadership of Tracys. of.

Under the influence of his subconscious mind, he listened to Teresica's words as if to escape. He was Your Majesty, so he had no right to interrupt when he was speaking, but now...

Manfred looked at the shapeshifter aside. He came in with him, but he made a "you come first" gesture.

"Your Majesty...the Military Commission...someone wants to use illegal violence...to force you to revise the order. The time...is probably tonight."

Manfred's knuckles hidden under the dining table turned white under the pressure. He felt that his heart was beating crazily, as if he had fought with some powerful enemy.

"Illegal violence?"

The shapeshifter fell into deep thought, but soon said in shock: "Some troops withdrew a batch of military supplies on the pretext of training last night!"

After listening, Teresica nodded, and then said.

"In the western area of ​​Kazdare, there is an abandoned construction area a hundred years ago. I found in the past records that it was called Brandenburg. I carefully observed the map of that area. There are city ruins, highlands, There is a flat area and a river. I want to make it a specialized military training base so that Kazdaele's troops can have combat experience in various terrains."

"I understand Your Majesty, but... don't you have anything to say about... illegal violent activities?"

Manfred was a little surprised, but Teresica had an indifferent expression.

"You should also know the cause of the matter, so I can tell you, I think I did the right thing, so why should I change it? I made a mistake in this change, and my mistake must be made by Kazdel All residents pay the bill.”

"Then...how do you plan to deal with them?"

"Well... let them do whatever they want. Okay, don't act like you saw some monster."

He smiled and motioned for Manfred to calm down, and then said: "Kazdale has currently established the Queensland Military Region, and I plan to do the same for Kazdale, which is the Marina Naval District and the Kazdaile Military Region. The commander of the Coastal Naval Region is Blood Demon Lord, and Commander of the Kazdare Military District... are you interested?"

Chapter 312 Requiem Sacrifice

Teresica suddenly said such words at this time, leaving Manfred not knowing how to answer for a moment.

"Your Majesty, this..."

"You don't have to be in a hurry, just take your time."

He had no intention of forcing Manfred at this time, and telling him the news now was purely to appease him.Putting Manfred in the position of commander of the Kazdare Military District was also to appease potential Tresisians who had not participated in the illegal actions and send a safety signal to them.

At the same time, it also exerts a certain suppressive effect on the Theresa faction, which is currently experiencing great development.

If possible, Teresica really doesn't want to waste her brains in this kind of place. It has no benefit at all and is purely internal friction.

"Shaper."

"exist."

"We... seem to have not held a requiem ceremony after the Battle of Leitania?"

Teresica thought about it carefully.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The shapeshifter nodded. Requiem sacrifice is a collective sacrificial activity in which Sarkaz sends away the souls of the deceased, soothes their obsessions and forgets their own sorrow.

Teresica thought for a while, "Transformer, announce to everyone that a collective requiem ceremony will be held tonight. Except for the city defense garrison and the [-]st Experimental Division, as well as other special positions and non-Sakaz residents, all All Sakaz will come to bid farewell to the souls of the warriors, and non-Sarkaz races will decide on their own. The city defense garrison will be responsible for the ceremony, and the Experimental Division [-] will be responsible for combat readiness."

This is the last step. It is up to them to choose in what form they want to participate in the requiem ceremony.

.........

The requiem sacrifice of Sakaz is called Requiem Night or Requiem Day in other countries.Over a long period of time, this ritual slowly spread to other countries and gradually developed into a fixed holiday.

On their requiem night, while bidding farewell to their souls, there was also a sense of holiday.Some people held candles and gathered solemnly at the cemetery, while others dressed up as ghosts and made noise in the streets. Vendors also took the opportunity to launch promotions.

However, on Sakaz's side, there was only requiem sacrifice and heaviness.

After receiving the news of the requiem ceremony, the working hours of all production units in Kazdale were temporarily adjusted.

From the beginning of Kazdare's foreign wars and the Sakaz civil war until today, every Sakaz family has its own soul that it wants to sacrifice.But in the past, Kazdaele was always shrouded in a high-risk and tense environment, and those who died during the civil war did not dare to offer sacrifices due to various problems.

Finally, today, everything comes to an end.

News of the collective sacrifice spread, and faint weeping could be heard on the streets from time to time. Some Sakaz themselves were a little strange. How could they be so numb in the past?But now he has regained his sensibility?

While the ordinary Sakaz people were immersed in their emotions, the soldiers in the city defense garrison camp were immersed in cooking while listening to the educational team composed of banshees and scavengers explaining the ritual process of the requiem sacrifice.

In the years of war in the past, the ritual records of the requiem sacrifice have actually been lost long ago. Most people only know of its existence but not its accurate and detailed process.

It was Teresica who found the King of Scavengers, the leader of the Sinners, the leader of the Shapeshifters, and others, and tasked the Banshee to find Kelsi, and worked together to restore the historical and cultural information of Sakaz, so that the relevant records were created.

Collective sacrifice is the highest level of requiem sacrifice and can only be held under the order of the royal family.The soldiers responsible for the ceremony had to set out on foot from the camp and gather in front of the Sakaz Palace.After lighting the torch in their hands instead of a small candle, they have to hold it and walk on the road in Kazdare at night to the accompaniment of specific music, letting the firelight in the dark night attract the attention of the souls.

In the attraction of music and firelight and the farewell prayers of relatives, the souls will leave their relatives, march with the ritual group, and finally gather in the square in front of Sakaz Palace.The ritual group will stand here until the torches are extinguished to symbolize the departure of the soul.

The whole process probably lasted several hours, involving both walking and standing. It was also a considerable physical exertion for the Sakaz soldiers.

Therefore, the city defense garrison modified the eating time throughout the day today, and also gave the soldiers a larger meal before departure to prevent the soldiers from having problems with the ceremony due to physical problems.

Many soldiers in Kazdaele's army had already joined the army before the new history and culture classes began. They listened with interest to the banshee's explanation of the ritual process and the various cultures behind it.

In addition to them, there were many officers and soldiers from other troops who came to help, and they also listened carefully.

Teresica ordered for this sacrifice.The commander-in-chief of each army will decide the necessary personnel on duty, as well as a small number of people who will enter the urban garrison to help. All the remaining officers and soldiers will have a holiday to reunite with their relatives and participate in sacrifices. This temporary holiday will last until 9 a.m. the next day.

Whether they were soldiers on vacation or helping to prepare for the ceremony, they all disarmed and left happily. Only those soldiers who stayed behind... had very ugly faces, and some even had a layer of fine beads of sweat on their foreheads.

'The situation... seems a little wrong? '

.........

In the Sakaz Palace, Teresica listened to the report of the shapeshifter. He was explaining one by one the situation of each infantry division remaining on duty.

"Currently, there are more than 1500 people left behind in each division, and there are about 736 people with possible motives. Among them, the 3rd Infantry Division is particularly obvious. All the personnel on duty in the reserve arsenal are people who may have deviations in their positions."

"Ah."

Teresica responded calmly, but did not make any follow-up orders.

This makes the shape-shifters a little confused. Now is the time when the situation is clearest.

"Your Majesty, won't you take action?"

"No, it's too early."

Teresica shook her head. Taking action without taking action was tantamount to shooting an arrow first and then drawing a target. By then, everyone would be able to excuse themselves, and he himself would no longer be able to trust the large group of people involved.

Therefore, he could only choose to start from behind, so that the possibility of implicating innocent people would be minimized.

only……

The two patriarchs, Banshee and Scavenger, walked in hastily at this moment, and this was the first time Teresica saw panicked behavior on their bodies.

'Did I roll over? '

For a moment, this worry flashed through his heart, but he heard the King of Scavengers salute and speak.

"Your Majesty, my supervision is not in place. One member of the scavenger clan is missing, and he is a veteran who survived the foreign war."

"……what?"

Chapter 313 Begins

When was the last requiem service?The Sakaz really can't remember it, it must have been at least a hundred years ago.

The bright colors in the sky are gradually fading, but at this moment, the streets of Kazdaele are full of pedestrians, and security personnel have even been dispatched to maintain the smooth flow of the streets.

On both sides of the road, the residents of Sakaz were looking eagerly. They were a little expectant but also a little sad. Only the ignorant children beside them were looking around curiously.

However, there are still some people in the crowd who are moving nervously.

After learning about the actions of the clan group, the clan leaders of the Royal Court conducted an emergency inventory of their own clans to prevent any unthinkable bastard from getting involved with them, or to ask for help while there was still a chance. Affection.

Originally, the blood demons were the ones to be most wary of. Other races were easy to say, but they were all a bunch of abnormal guys.But this time, even they didn't cause any trouble. Instead, the scavengers, who never got involved in such bad things, had a problem.

A scavenger, a battle-hardened scavenger, has disappeared. What is his purpose at this critical moment? It can only be considered in the worst case scenario.

In order to avoid suspicion, the King of Scavengers completely evaded the investigation and left the relevant matters to the shapeshifters and banshees. They formed a joint action team and rushed to the community where the scavengers lived.

They pushed open the door of the missing person's room. The floor of the room was covered with unsealed wine bottles, and the smell of volatile alcohol permeated the entire room.Unable to find any effective clues, the surrounding residents set off to attend the requiem ceremony again. The shapeshifters and banshees could only retrieve the residence files of the surrounding residents, and then the shapeshifters took to the streets to search for human flesh, and then let the banshees use The spell reads the memories in their minds and restores them bit by bit.

With some drunken words recorded in their inner sea, a destination that shocked even the shape-shifters was revealed...

In the Sakaz Palace, the number of royal guards stationed there was doubled, and a 100-man special race combat team was even mobilized from the coastal area.

The patriarchs unanimously requested that Teresica temporarily stop appearing in public. Now she can only stay in the office and listen to other people's reports on the preparations for the requiem sacrifice.

"Your Majesty complies with your request to reduce the burden on the ceremonial troops. They will not walk through the streets of Kazdaele, but will march on the main roads. The relevant information has been notified to all the people in advance, and the route has been planned by us. , can take care of everyone.”

"Ah."

Teresica signaled the staff to give him the route map and he wanted to verify it himself, but at this moment, a shapeshifter hurried over.

"Your Majesty, there is an emergency and we must inform you."

He gasped and said: "We didn't find him personally, but we got a hint of his movements."

"Where did he go?" Teresica felt something was wrong. If it was colluding with the clan, the shapeshifters probably wouldn't describe it like this.

"He...his wife and children all lost their lives in foreign wars. He believes that requiem sacrifices are useless. To truly comfort the soul, you have to use the blood of the enemy."

"...He went to seek revenge?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." The shapeshifter nodded helplessly.

Teresica's eyes widened, she might as well collude with the clan!Scavengers are not like ordinary Goliaths. The scope of their actions is definitely not small!Today is different from the past. If this causes a diplomatic accident, how will it end?

"Look for him quickly! We must find him back!"

"Yes."

The shapeshifter accepted the order and left, but how to find someone in this situation?

The members of the joint action team composed of banshees and shapeshifters were really at a loss as they looked at the crowds of people crowding around the streets.

"It's impossible to find him. When did he set out?"

"Probably...an hour ago."

A banshee said confidently: "I have read all the memories of today from the surrounding residents, and the time flow rate is definitely one hour."

"An hour...then he definitely hasn't left Kazdale yet. Just seal the border! Once that person runs out, Kazdale will be finished!"

The members of the action team unanimously asked for instructions. At present, everyone is going to attend the requiem ceremony. Only the Experimental Division [-] has sufficient armed personnel.

After some consideration, Teresica agreed to the action team's plan. The First Experimental Division deployed a regiment to the border to strengthen border patrols and strive to control the scavenger within Sakaz's jurisdiction.
