"… …"

"We do not need your reassurance, because we are people who will stand at the peak."

"..."

Colonel Kerlin's words echoed within the palace, letting the ministers know about the casualties of the expedition. The casualties were unprecedented, and there had never been such a large number of casualties.

The documents contained information about the missing students and teachers, who had disappeared into the forest during the excursion. "It's a sad thing," he said. Anna looked at him and asked calmly, "So what?"

"Even if we shed tears, the dead will not return. No matter how angry you are, you will not be able to change certain facts." The sound of high heels hitting the ground was heard. Anna started walking down from the top and started asking.

"Colonel Kerlin, do you know why there are no casualties among our people?"

The number of students who had graduated from the first academy on the continent was limited, but they held the true leading position in the vast army. At the same time, they were also the academies that were active and active among the line of adventurers on the continent. The learning cycles of the first institution were very long, and every year, new students would be recruited.

Colin looked at Anna, puzzled. Then he thought about the list of missing persons on the document. There were no students from the First Court, not even from the Second Court.

"You're a colonel because you know one thing." Anna walked in front of him and said, "Strength is a very important part of a person's life and death."

Colin looked at Anna's calm face and said, "But they're still students!"

"Who isn't?" Anna took out a neat stack of paper from the space in front of her. On it were printed some things, which she handed to Colin, "This is the list of missing students from all the places in our academy this year calculated by the Adventurer Association. It also has our school rules."

Colin reached out and took the stack of papers. He flipped through it, silent, his heart heavy again.

"The academy has always been managed by students, and you should know that the Adventurer's Association is the external facilities of the academy." The heels of his shoes made a "Pa-pa!" sound as they landed on the ground. Anna began to walk around Colin, looking at him as she continued, "Then you should also know one thing." The voice stopped abruptly.

Anna, who was standing in front of him, gently raised her head and looked at the officer who was of a higher level than her and said, "We do not need you to be at ease, because we are all people who will stand at the pinnacle."

Those at the apex of the world, were they from the first court? Collin thought about this problem and understood the true cruelty of the academy from the missing list. The monthly assessment was to head to the forest to accept missions and dangerous missions brought great benefits. Therefore, the students of the academy were naturally powerful.

"Right." Anna turned around and walked up the steps, "You can ask the students or your colleagues about this excursion. You will understand some things."

Colin clutched the document tightly. He could not get the Queen to withdraw her orders because the whole time the Queen was looking at Princess Anna with a smile and admiration in her eyes. However, he also understood one thing from the rules of the First Court.

He looked up at Anna's back and said, "Third Army of the Duchy, Commander of the Hetonmar Garrison, Colonel Colin Michael has challenged the First Army of the Duchy, the current commander of the Hetonmar Garrison, Lieutenant Anna Barol Mal."

"..."

Yes, strength was everything, but it was also useful for Anna, who was one of the leaders of the school. If she lost the battle, then she wouldn't be able to use her commanding power, and if so, she could just defeat him one by one, and he didn't think that these students would be able to defeat him, a major in the army.

The palace was abnormally quiet, even the sound of the needle dropping could be heard. Anna turned around and looked at Colin, feeling like she was looking at an idiot. She then smiled, smiling beautifully, "I —"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the voice of the palace guards.

"The students from the First Academy of Hetton Mar have arrived!"

Skadi waved to him and motioned for the guards to let them in.

Seven silhouettes slowly walked into the palace. This was the first time that the ministers had seen the members of the student union. Even though it had been a long journey, the ministers had no interest in it.

The first reason was that even if they were students of the First Court, they would only be students. The second reason was that every year, what meaning would there be in going out?

Seven people wearing the uniform of a first lieutenant appeared in front of them, with the exception of 51. These 7 people, along with Princess Anna, all had the same level of looks, and each of them had their own differences.

They stood in the center of the palace, one on their chests, their heads bowed to the queen on one knee, as a sign of respect.

Liang Yue stealthily glanced at Skadi.

Isn't this the academy's dean?

"Stand up!" Skadi waved them to their feet and looked down at the man, thinking of something.

"How are the garrison's defenses?" Skadi asked.

"The city is on full alert." Salia looked at Skadi and said, "At the same time, the students of the First Court have also joined the army. They have been consolidated, and the other academies have also begun to support them."

"Mm …" After listening to Salia's report, Skadi rested his chin on his chin and said to Anna, "You guys continue." He then closed his eyes, as if he was resting.

"Do you accept the challenge?"

Anna was about to answer him when a woman's voice interrupted her.

Xiyue stepped forward and weakly said, "Let me …"

Colin turned to look at the frail little girl, and did not quite believe her.

"Are you kidding?"

"Yes …" Xiyue lowered her head, but still couldn't see the ground. She was only able to see her bulging top, "I'm the weakest here, so if you want to challenge her, you have to defeat me first …"

The young girl's face was slightly red, and she did not sound confident when she said this. This caused him to not believe her at all.

He looked at Xi Yue and said with some displeasure, "This is not a girl playing house."

What responded was a wave of sword intent, as if it was pinching him.

"..."
