Chapter 206 The Foundation of the Air Force (Subscribe!)

Almost early in the morning of the next day, the military camp on the outskirts of Idar was crowded with young people who came to enlist in the army.

Completing the registration at the conscription registration office near the city of Idar is only the first step in signing up for the army. They still need to go through a series of strict screening before they can finally be accepted by the Idar Army.

Although the name of the Idar Navy spread throughout the Idar Territory during the previous Coral Island naval battle, this does not mean that the army has no appeal.

On the contrary, the victory of the war and the merits gained by the soldiers further aroused the enthusiasm of these young people to join the army. No matter whether it is the navy or the army, as long as they can become an Idar soldier, it is the supreme honor in the hearts of civilians.

Moreover, if he really passed all the tests and became an Idar soldier, then he would not have to worry about his life for the rest of his life.

Not only do they have a considerable amount of military pay, but all the girls of marriageable age in Idar County are eager to have a handsome soldier by their side.

So... for the sake of their own lives and their own future, almost all qualified Idar people are trying their best to join Idar's army.

Perhaps in the future, some people would worry about their personal safety during a war, but in this era... the death rate of soldiers was not much higher than that of serfs and civilians.

It is precisely under the stimulation of these many factors that the Idar people's enthusiasm for joining the army is much higher than when the standing army was established.

As the commander-in-chief of the Idar Army, this was not the first time that Sam Layton had seen such a hot recruitment scene.

From being a little nervous at first to being calm now, he has become accustomed to it.

Therefore, in order to respond to the eager anticipation of these young Idar people to join the army, Sam Layton deliberately raised the standards and requirements for the assessment. I guess... this will make those Idar people who come to apply for the army particularly grateful...

Different from the bustling scene outside the army camp, the camp of the Griffin Knights hidden in the foothills of Mount Almis seemed particularly deserted.

The sparsely populated Almis Mountains have long been a place where Bruno hides various secrets.

From the previous magic circle research laboratory and magic weapon testing ground to the current camp of the Griffin Knights, the dense forests in the Almis Mountains have become a natural barrier to hide these secrets. Coupled with the guards of the Idar Territory's soldiers on the periphery, these secrets are difficult for others to detect.

After a week of simple construction, neat rows of houses have been built.

A restaurant, dormitory, conference room, study room, training ground and simple pens for griffins to live in... This campsite can be said to be small but complete.

Given the current size of the Idar Griffin Knights, there is definitely no need to migrate the entire griffin tribe.

Therefore, under Bruno's influence, about twenty or thirty griffins migrated to this camp belonging to the Griffin Knights and regarded it as their second home.

Bruno's new mount, Puff, the leader of the griffin tribe, was naturally included.

Whether it is the army commander Sam Layton or the navy commander Mal Cullen, the existence of the Griffin Knights is still unknown to anyone except Count Bruno of Idar, Director Krell of the Idar CIA, and a few members of the expedition team who went to the Aset Basin together.

This was a secret force that Bruno had hidden in the dark, and it would also be the basis for the official establishment of the Idar Air Force at some point in the future! At this moment, a team of about 20 to 30 people was entering the camp along the winding path. They were the first batch of members of the Griffin Knights who had been selected through layers of selection.

Rolf Hawthorne was lucky enough to become one of the first Griffin Knights to serve in the Idar Griffin Knights.

He was originally just an ordinary soldier in Idar's regular army, but by chance, he became a member of the Griffin Knights.

Although he was a griffin knight, he had never actually seen the appearance of a griffin in person until now, and his knowledge of griffins was limited to the descriptions in books, so... Rolf Hawthorne could hardly suppress his excitement and urgency at this moment.

After so many days of preparation, am I finally going to see the legendary griffin?

Until now, Rolf Hawthorne still remembers that strange assessment.

Just like the previous assessment for selecting members of the Idar Bandit Corps and the Idar CIA, before the assessment, Rolf Hawthorne only knew that those who passed the selection would carry out a secret mission, but he had no idea about the content and difficulty of the mission.

So, when a huge wooden wheel was placed in the open space in front of the military camp under the personal supervision of Lord Bruno Stuart, Count of Idar, almost all the soldiers were confused.

Because that thing... is very similar to some torture instruments of this era...

The Earl's rather eccentric way of doing things never disappoints others. When the first soldier participating in the selection was tied to the wheel with ropes, Rolf Hawthorne felt a little frightened.

However... his faith in the Earl and his sincere feelings for the Idar Territory made him persevere to the end.

When the candidates were fixed on the wheel, the Earl's personal soldiers who had been standing on both sides of the wheel and were eager to try pushed the wheel to spin quickly at the first opportunity.

One circle...

Two laps...

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Three laps...

After more than ten rounds, the soldiers who were untied felt dizzy, seeing stars, and could hardly stand steadily.

But it’s not over yet. On one side of the wheel is a single-plank bridge that tests one’s balance ability. The already dizzy soldiers have to walk straight across the single-plank bridge built on the field before they can pass the first level.

It is precisely because of such a strict and bizarre selection method that among the hundreds of candidates, only a handful of twenty or so were able to pass all the assessments.

After more than 20 soldiers successfully passed these rigorous tests, they finally knew the purpose of this selection—a group of griffin knights that would soon be established! And they would become griffin knights flying in the sky in the near future! When Bruno's words reached Rolf Hawthorne's ears, he could hardly believe what he heard...

Griffin!

knight!

Either of these two words is enough for him to look up to, and the Earl told him that he would become the future Griffin Knight of Idar Territory! How could he not be extremely excited! So, after passing the assessment, Rolf Hawthorne spent almost all of his free time on understanding griffins, their habits, their diet, and cultivating relationships with them...

Bruno had memorized the griffin taming methods that he had exchanged from the system mall, without missing a single detail...

Today,

Under Bruno's personal leadership,

The members of the Griffin Knights finally arrived at the camp built specifically for them, and saw the figure that had lingered in their minds countless times - the griffin! 　Thanks to "Chong Chong Bu Pa Ji" for the 1,500 points reward!
