Chapter 276 Pre-War Preparations
In the Reis Palace behind the Sina Wall, King Moril of Reis looked down at the ministers and nobles of the royal party kneeling below.
Under Moril's oppressive feeling, the nobles and ministers below did not dare to breathe, and drops of sweat slowly dripped down.
"The Dragon Blood Corps is expanding again." Moril put one hand on his chin and said majestically.
"Yes."
All the nobles and ministers did not disobey. They no longer thought at all and only knew to obey the king's will. After all, the king's decision was wrong that time?
Although the ministers in charge of various affairs understood that all adult men had joined the Dragon Blood Corps, and the members of the expanded Dragon Blood Corps would only be children, so what? It was the supreme honor to fight for King Reis.
As for the nobles, their idea was simple. Just follow King Reis. They were just ordinary middle-level nobles, but now they inherited the power of those great nobles and became firm royal party members.
After the meeting in which Moril had the final say, the state institutions of the Kingdom within the Wall began to operate, recruiting new members on behalf of the Dragon Blood Corps. After all, the soldiers in the Dragon Blood Corps were not suitable for being outside for a long time.
As time passed, a group of children with determined faces went through security checks in groups at the checkpoint of the Sina Wall.
The recruiting minister who led the children casually showed the pass to the security soldiers, and then hurriedly led the team into the Sina Wall, which only high-class families could enter.
"This is behind the Sina Wall, it's so beautiful." The child in the middle of the team said happily.
"Yes, as long as we pass the test of the Dragon Blood Corps, we can bring our families to live here." The child next to him said firmly.
"We can definitely pass the test. Mu Qing's health is getting worse day by day, and she needs a good environment to recover."
"Come on, it is said that this expansion was decided by King Reis, maybe we will have a better future in the future."
"Future, I just want to join the Dragon Blood Corps now."
"My goal is to become the helper of this great king, to become the helper of the hero."
The conversation between these two children is heard in the team.
After all, the Dragon Blood Corps is a new corps far superior to the four major corps, and it is still very eye-catching. Moreover, joining the Dragon Blood Corps, you can bring your relatives to live behind the Sina Wall, which makes the children excited.
As for the goal of becoming the helper of King Reis, almost every child has it. That child does not worship heroes, but the heroes of his own country.
The legend of King Reis spreads among the children, and it is the trust in King Reis that has led so many children to the Sina Wall.
At the same time, in the Dragon Blood Corps garrison, which occupies a considerable area in the Sina area, waves of wailing continue to echo here.
The door of a huge building in the garrison slowly opened, and a group of transport personnel wearing simple chemical protective suits carried out half-dragon corpses from it.
"Is this really okay?" The transport personnel carrying the corpses said in confusion.
"You are risking your life, questioning King Reis's decision?" The transport personnel next to him scolded in a low voice.
"But why do all the children have to participate in the Dragon Blood Selection?"
"The king naturally has his considerations. You must not have forgotten the situation some time ago. If it weren't for the king's super-strong concept, he kept the monsters out of the wall and annihilated them one by one, we would still be trembling inside the wall now."
"Hey, I don't understand this world anymore."
"You naturally don't understand, just follow the king."
At the same time, in the main city of the Marley Empire, a man with black forehead was sneaking through the alleys.
"Damn it, my identity has been discovered by those damn magicians. I must return to the church as soon as possible."
"I hope everything will get better soon. I will execute all those damn evil magicians and give the empire a bright future." The man murmured while making a prayer gesture.
After crossing the red thorns in the alley, the man saw the sunlight outside the alley. He tried to maintain a calm expression, hoping not to be discovered by the law enforcers on the street.
Just as he was about to walk out of the alley, the thorns in the alley slowly extended, and the tips of the thorns turned into blades.
The next moment, several scarlet thorns shot out from behind the man, easily piercing his heart and head.
"Church..."
The man's eyes closed in despair, and he didn't understand why until the last moment.
Sizzle~
The scarlet thorns were pulled out of the man's body, and the blood on the surface of the body was slowly absorbed into the thorns, and then like a few ordinary thorns, they curled back to the original corner.
Soon, two law enforcers in gray followed the smell of blood and walked into the alley. They saw the body of the man lying in the alley.
After looking at the body and thinking for a few seconds, the law enforcers started talking.
"This man seems to be one of the suspects. He was silenced as expected."
"Those who resist the empire deserve to die."
"It's so cruel. Isn't it good to be a citizen of the empire?"
"Hurry up and deal with it. It's time to go."
Several law enforcers filled in a few marks on the report in their hands, then took out a communicator and crossed out the man's name from the many suspects.
Finally, the law enforcers put the man's body into a sack and carried it out of the alley. They didn't notice the real murderer who was right next to them.
