Chapter 16: Wake up the sleeping tiger (Part 2)

The military academy's wall was made of bricks. In order to save money, Winters wanted to climb over and didn't need to run away. I think the female thief also climbed over the wall and went in and out.

Now that the thief has run away, the whole school can only check the items and see what is missing to know what the female thief stole.

"Where is the person? Damn!" A loud shout came from outside the house: "Guard!"

Oh no, Winters' heart skipped a beat. He was just chatting and forgot to stand guard.

Four people hurried out of the duty room.

A senior officer riding a maroon horse got off the horse neatly, and without saying a word, he swung the whip rod and whipped the four guards.

"Report! Beimen Yegang! Six people should be there! Four people actually!" Winters inexplicably ate the whip, and the pain was so hot that it burst into flames.

But the military academy is the army, and you must not force it at this time.

The light was too poor, and Winters couldn't recognize who the other party was, but it could be seen from the details of the uniform that he was a school official.

"Where is the officer on duty?" the school officer shouted sternly.

"Report! Go to the fire to scout!" Winters gradually saw the other party's facial features.

In front of him was a face with sword-browed eyebrows and eagle eyes, and a nose-absorbing thin lips.

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

"Why don't you report any fire?" This minister remained angry.

"Report! I! No! I know!" Winters yelled. It was both an vent, but he really didn't know.

Those who come to duty are all low-level faculty members. Although the Land College has prepared single-family houses for officers at school level and above, senior officers usually buy property outside the school.

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

"Emergency gathering! Cry everyone up! Arrange in the North Gate Playground!" The minister did not continue to make things difficult for the four students.

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

"You wait!" The minister stopped Winters, who wanted to lift his legs and leave: "What's the matter with your arm?"

"Report! There is a thief! The thief takes a knife! I'm repelling!" Winters didn't say nonsense, and described the story in the simplest language.

Facing the irritable minister, he didn't dare to say, "A thief ran out of the school, I didn't stop her and let her escape." So he changed his perspective and explained it - it was not considered a lie.

"Damn it! How dare you come to the army's territory to play wild?" The minister was furious, and the reaction was exactly the same as the instructor on duty: "You come to me tomorrow and report it to me in detail."

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The gathering bell rang like a life-threatening sound, followed by the sharp whistle of the guards. Like a light sleeping beast, the Army Officer Academy was awakened in an instant.

The main theme of quiet night was replaced by noise. The awakened military academy students in various dormitories jumped out of the bed, grabbed their clothes and put them on their bodies quickly. They had no equipment to carry, so they hurriedly ran out the door after putting on their clothes.

Someone outside the door shouted: "Come to the North Gate Playground! Gather to the North Gate Playground!" This was the order of the Yegang students from the minister.

In this era of no portable fire, the military school gathered urgently at night and had no time to draw fire and light the lights. Everything had to be done in the dark, and the students went to the North Gate Playground with the faint moonlight in the dark.

The crowd acted like sardines in the sea, crowded together silently, but moved forward neatly, creating a strange and regular beauty.

The military academy students who quickly poured out from various dormitories quickly merged into the North Gate playground. The vanguard lined up in the front, while the others quickly looked for their position in the queue.

Winters also ran back to the queue at this time, and Ike was startled by the wound on his shoulder. However, there was no room for chatting in the military formation, so the two could only communicate with their eyes. The teams in each district began to report numbers from beginning to end and summarize.

The instructors came from the stables and rode horses around the officers' phalanx. A spellcaster instructor brought a bunch of torches from the warehouse, lit the torches with fire ignition techniques and distributed them to each instructor.

The entire North Gate Playground was illuminated by fire. The students had already stood in a well-organized array, waiting for orders.

The minister rode his love horse and watched the students of the Army Officer Academy gathering in an orderly manner in the darkness at the front of the playground, nodding in an undetectable amplitude.

"The department should have 174 people in a year, but 174 people are actually 174 people!"

"In the second year, the department should have reached 175 people, but in fact, 173 people!"

"In the third year, the department should have reached 172 people! It actually reached 172 people!"

"Report to the Minister! The student brigade! 521 people should be there! 519 people actually arrived! The report was completed."

"Everyone! Standing attentive!" The deafening voice of the minister resounded throughout the school. He obviously used acoustic technique: "Three minutes! Bring all the tools! Go to put out the fire! Disband!"

The academy formation scattered again, and Winters hurried to the warehouse to get the tools. But he was actually a little strange. It would catch fire. If there was a fire in the residential area, what happened to the Land Court? It couldn't burn here.

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 sent a messenger to inform the military academy and other senior officers of the United Provincial Army Department of the State Council, and also sent messengers to the two infantry brigades stationed outside Guitu City for help.

The military academy students returned and stood in a uniform square again, but this time each of them had a few more tools in their hands.

The minister didn't say anything nonsense. With a wave of his hand, all the students of the military academy formed a sixth column along the road and headed towards Guitucheng Port Area.

"What's going on?!" Ike didn't find the opportunity to ask Winters until the square formation started.

"I met a thief and got a knife." Winters summarized the whole story as briefly as possible.

"What thief even moved the knife?"

"I don't know either."

"Is it okay?"

"Skin wounds."

"Shut up!" The instructor who was riding a horse patrol beside the trainee column shouted sternly and stopped Winters and Ike from whispering. The two of them did not dare to speak anymore, so they had to follow the queue.

They walked through the low and dilapidated slums in the outermost circle of the city, through the ruins of the demolished old city walls, through the stinking workshops of leather craftsmen, through the chaotic houses in the port area, and finally arrived at the place where the fire occurred.

It was not until this time that Winters understood why the residential area caught fire but had to be rescued by the military academy.

Because the First Arsenal, the Greater Senas Gulf National Alliance Army, is burning.
