Revenge of the Son of the Nobles

Chapter 23: Departure

This morning, dozens of horse carriages lined up at the entrance gates of the Academy to pick up the students who were now officially part of the Six Continents Alliance Army.

Residents of Leidenburg and lined up along the road, waiting enthusiastically for the train to pass.

While inside the Academy, the people who were about to depart for the defensive outposts in the corner of the Western Continent were gathered in the hall.

They were given new uniforms, a sword, and a badge. The parents of some of the disciples who had come to watch their children's inauguration ceremony.

The mothers were crying while the fathers were just staring at their child with expressions that were hard to explain.

After the ceremony, they approached their son, saying goodbye. Most of the parents who came were those who lived around Leidenburg, the news of the massacre in the Chyrosian and the decision of the Academy's student departure was too sudden, many parents who did not have time to attend the inauguration ceremony as well as this impromptu departure.

Not even a single parent disciple from Vasilius came, only the Senior Advisor to King Vasilius and the Chancellor of the Chevallaire family attended the ceremony, relayed greetings from each of the heads of the families to all the disciples who were now warriors of Vasilius.

Thus, all the new soldiers from the Academy set out for the designated military outposts in the western continent. The people lined up along the shoulder of the road cheered off the young soldiers, they waved their hands, spreading flower petals towards the walking horse carriage.

A little boy ran through the roadblock, approached one of the horse carriages, the adults and the security guards immediately tried to carry him back to the spot. But the horse carriage door was open.

A girl with long wavy brown hair and orange eyes appeared from behind the door of the slow-moving horse carriage, she gestured to the people who were trying to hold the child to let it go, she said, he leaned his head out of the carriage, then looked at the little boy with a smile.

"What's up, deck?" The girl smiled sweetly, making the little boy's eyes sparkle, while running small to compensate for the way of the horse carriage, she took out a package from her little bag.

"For my sister, my mother made it" the little boy said, handing a white cloth over to the brunette.

"Thank you, yeah."

After the girl received the gift, the little boy stopped, then waved at the horse carriage that was speeding faster after approaching the city limits.

On the horse carriage, the brunette opened the package of cloth given by the little boy that felt a little warm, the smell of fragrant pastries immediately filled the horse carriage he was riding.

Everyone who was riding the horse carriage was fixated on the cloth package that the brunette girl was holding.

"Well, I'm hungry again" chirped Desmond who suddenly seemed to want the cake so badly, the smell of the cake was really appetizing.

"Alicia does have its own charm, yes, the first bocil to meet is already a fan," the whole carriage laughed a little, from earlier this horse carriage felt quiet because of the tense atmosphere, because of the tension, so if there is a right moment, he uses it to melt the atmosphere.

Alicia offered the cake to her carmates, they certainly did not refuse, after all they had been waiting for Alicia to offer the cake.

After the first bite, a stifled cry sounded in unison on the horse carriage.

"Great boy!"

Brenda covered her mouth with her hands so unreliable, while Desmond and two other guys had already finished their cookies, just twice the bite for them.

"If only there was tea here," Alicia stared at the now-empty package of cookies.

"Well, we're going to war, not picnic" said one of the men on the train, Brenda immediately kicked her knee because she made the atmosphere tense again because of her words.

Meanwhile, in the horse carriage in front of them.

"Damn it, they get cake, which looks good again," Adrian pecked annoyed, Alex sitting next to him looked confused.

"Kue? What cake?"

"Kok you know?" Asked a girl on their team, she was Reyna, one of the top students in the Silver Class.

"I can listen to the conversation within a certain distance" explained Adrian.

"Well, isn't it dangerous?" The other girl's.

Adrian looks confused, "What's the danger?"

"Yes, you can have secret conversations with girls" she said.

"What is your conversation about? The most about skin care products is the same guy, right?" Actually Alex asked not with the intention of insinuating, he was actually asking because he did not know, but the girls even rampaged and began to call out not accept to Alex.

"I know, we'll talk about it in more detail, guys," Adrian said, "Buddies," Alex shook Adrian's hand, it made the girls even more excited.

"You can't be quiet anyway?" Haznav's quiet but intimidating intonation brings all the noise of the girls on their train to a standstill, Haznav is notoriously cold and rarely speaks, but once he speaks, people will hear his words. Even Adrian and Alex who were the top students in the Golden Class alone no longer spoke.

Children from the Kingdom of Petra once said that Haznav was not what he is today, he was not a type of person who is cheerful or talkative, but he never acted cold like this.

What made her personality the way she is now is due to the death of her father, according to the story, haznav's father who was a high-ranking official in the Petra Kingdom was killed at the hands of a powerful demon who suddenly appeared in the middle of the alliance meeting.

From then on, he changed out of a great deal of resentment and hatred for the demons, his friends understanding his condition, but it still did not change Haznav's intimate impression.

They also become only silent on the rest of the trip, only Adrian and Alex who occasionally chat or girls who sometimes whisper and laugh giggling.

After several hours of travel, they finally reached their destination, a steam train station in Leidenburg.

The men got off their chariot, and a military officer directed them to gather.

At the station there were already four medium-sized steam trains ready to depart, a person in a military uniform who looked different to Leidengard's military uniform took command, he was an officer of the Alliance Forces

"Good morning, or maybe good afternoon. As you already know, today you will be sent to military posts across the continent. The first unit will go to the southern part of the continent, the second unit will go to the southeastern side of the continent, the third unit to the western side, and the last unit will go to the northern side. Any question?"

One of the soldiers switched from a resting position to a ready position and stomped his feet, the officer nodded, allowing him to ask.

"What about the eastern side of the continent?" He returned to the resting position after asking a question.

"The eastern side is still relatively safe because there is still the Sakai Kingdom from the eastern continent adjacent to our continent. Anything else?"

No one asked any questions, the officer resigned and the command was taken over by another officer.

"For the first unit, to be chaired by Adrian Cornivus Duterte, with the following members ...."

The officer mentioned the names one by one, those who were called were directly directed up to the steam train that was heading south of the continent.

"As a reminder, once you get to the post, you will be under the command of the commander who served there. This position of chairman only applies during your journey." Adrian who was preparing to board the carriage nodded, he turned his head towards Alex and gave a final greeting, as they were stationed at a different post.

Next was the unit assigned to the southeastern side of the continent, Alex acting as the head of the unit, some of the top names such as Alicia, Desmond, Anford and other names were chosen to be in the same unit as Alex.

Alex saluted the officers and boarded the train to the southeast post, his heart pounding, but he tried to convince himself that he was able to get through all this.

The steam train was traveling at full speed towards the southeast post, no matter what awaited there, they only hoped to return safely from the battlefield and not fared like a Chyrosian warrior.
