Chapter 83: Recruiting the Far Marching Army

The blond, blue-eyed young man stopped not far from the others. When he stood still, his posture was upright and elegant, with an innate sense of nobility.

His eyes were like a deep blue lake, calmly and sharply looking at everyone present.

"I've received a message that the intruders last night are suspected to be related to the Federation. The scene will be inspected by the Third Squad of the Far Marching Army. All other unrelated personnel, please leave immediately."

"Why, you..."

Qi Hanxing was impatient and wanted to refute without thinking, but was immediately stopped by Xie Huan.

He leaned forward and put his hands on his chest to salute, speaking in a low, neither humble nor arrogant tone,

"I didn't know Prince Louis was here in person. Please forgive me. I have no objection to your orders, but the intruders have harmed my students. Please allow me to investigate with you. I am more familiar with the school than your team."

"So he is Prince Louis, the Queen's only heir."

Alice whispered in the background, observing the prince from behind. There was no difference between him and the other sentinels; at most, he looked a little sharper.

Louis did not linger on Xie Huan, but turned to look at his companions behind him.

"With him here, things will go much faster."

"That's it, Colin. Go arrange the recruitment."

The members of the Far Marching Team immediately scattered. Some squatted on the ground and used instruments to collect evidence, some immediately measured the scent left behind, and others hurried to the office building.

"I remember you."

Louis suddenly spoke, his eyes looking at several sentries, and finally fell on Alice.

"The winning guide at the exchange meeting attracted a lot of attention, but I don't think someone like you should be able to kill a Federation contestant."

"You too, the Federation's people are far more formidable than you see. They came to the exchange meeting with the conviction that they would win. Two newly awakened Sentinels don't have that much power."

"Unless... your strength is temporarily enhanced."

Si Jue didn't understand why the topic shifted to the exchange meeting. He wanted to leave as soon as possible to find Fu Sui. The longer he delayed, the more dangerous Lady Lilith would be.

Moreover, he knew very well that it was Lilith who transformed him into a beast, causing his power to surge and kill the enemy. But since she wanted to conceal it, he could not let others know.

"I don't understand what you mean. We didn't cheat. The principal has confirmed it, and the Federation has no objection."

"Yes, they have no objection. Isn't that the strangest thing? Unless, they have already achieved their goal."

Louis, who was wearing a blue-black military uniform, said this, with one hand on his sword, with a meaningful look.

"For example, using a victory to push an ordinary person to the center of attention and make certain people notice her."

Alice's hands suddenly tightened, and she lowered her eyelashes, not wanting anyone to see the emotion in her eyes.

"Alright, I'm not here to call you to task. The marching troops on the front lines have suffered heavy casualties, and the source of the pollution is still expanding. If it's not stopped, it could spread to the borders of the empire at any time, and then it would be dangerous."

He stared at Alice closely, his gaze like he was looking at some handy weapon.

"So, I will invite all guides of appropriate age to go to the contaminated area to treat my warriors. You are one of them, Alice."

The black-haired and black-eyed girl stood there motionless, as if frightened, and did not respond. Louis did not care and continued,

"It's okay. You have the right to refuse. Guides always have privileges, but sentinels don't. Si Jue, Qi Hanxing, you two have been recruited by the Far Marching Army. Go back and prepare."

"Professor Xie, as a teacher, you need to provide guidance."

He ignored Shen Jiaxu beside him, not even giving him a glance. The always respected student union president couldn't help but speak.

"Wait, Your Highness, I..."

"Your Highness, please allow me to refuse. I want to find Lady Lilith first. If I can't confirm her safety, I can't concentrate on fighting."

"Yes, Your Highness, we must find my sister first."

Qi Hanxing added quickly, fearing that if he was any slower, there would be no chance for the situation to turn around.

He did not notice that when Louis mentioned "sister", a dark light flashed in his eyes.

Shen Jiaxu stepped forward and fought for himself.

"Your Highness, I am also an S-rank Sentinel, and I rank among the best in all my courses. Please give me a chance."

A high-definition image appeared before Lilith's eyes. She pressed the wound on her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"The main storyline is going on normally. Alice has also received an invitation from the Far Marching Army. She will be heading to the contaminated area soon."

After she finished talking to herself, she looked at Fu Sui, who was lying on the ground. He still had wounds from the explosion yesterday, with his skin and flesh exposed. He was struggling to apply medicine on himself.

"You even have control over the academy's surveillance cameras. No wonder you were able to get the video footage of the exchange meeting."

"All the monitoring systems in operation are designed and manufactured by the Star Group. The data will eventually be collected in my optical computer, but I rarely look at it."

Fu Sui just sprayed the powder on his wound and gasped. He really didn't know how Lilith could apply the medicine to him without any expression.

"Alright, you're already a 'dead man'. How are you going to join the Far March Army? Let me make it clear, I won't help you. Getting you the identity of a weapons supplier is already my limit."

Lilith remained silent. She turned off the surveillance camera and sat quietly in the corner of the attic, an abandoned house in the slums. After coming out of the underground clinic, she bypassed the robot and came to the place that had been checked.

She knew that Fu Sui was right. After losing her status as a student at the First Military Academy, it was almost impossible for her to join the Far Marching Army.

However, the expansion of the contaminated area is an opportunity. The marching army is in great need of guides. In addition to recruiting guides of appropriate age from the military academy, they will also look for them outside. After all, there are so many sentinels that guides are always in short supply.

"There are not only sentinels in the underground auction house, but also unfinished bionic guide experimental subjects. Fu Sui, I need you to let Prince Louis enter the underground auction house in person. I will pretend to be a newly produced experimental subject and he will wake me up."

Fu Sui turned his head away in shock, even ignoring the pain of the powder.

"Are you crazy? Do you know what you're saying? This means you can only be used as a tool. The Far March Army won't follow the same rules when it comes to androids as they do to humans. The rough sentinels will probably tear you apart!"

He stood up so suddenly that he almost hit the low ceiling.
