Chapter 253 - Special Army

Ji Hao didn’t see Si Wen Ming.

All elders and master Magi tutors sent by the Magi Palace were called to the main meeting camp. There were too many important things that were in need of their efforts.

Ji Hao and his teammates, along with thousands of other apprentices of the Magi Palace were led by an armed squat to a smaller campsite in the north-west corner of the base camp. When Ji Hao looked closer he discovered that tens of banners that had different kinds of eagle totems painted on them, were fluttering above this camp.

“Phew, such a rush. Just wondering what kind of jobs will they arrange for us to do since we now have arrived here.” Yu Mu was leisurely patting his own belly, while carrying his fully repaired huge pot on his back. He was continuously looking around while walking forward.

“Hm, this is not a decent camp anyway.” Feng Xing insisted on keeping zhangs of distance from all the other apprentices, leaning his head like a thief and peeked into those tents through the apertures on the tents.

Ji Hao carefully sniffed the air and sensed a strong smell of medicines, which was specially used to cure wounds. He also sensed a dense blood scent. Most of these tents were completely empty, and not too much sense of power was leaking out of those tents, obviously, it had been a while since someone had lived in them.

As for those tents that people were staying in, all of those people were either lightly or seriously wounded, and their wounds were mostly hard to deal with. Some of them were releasing a strong sense of power. All these people were Senior Magi, but still, they were wrapped around by a dense medicinal scent as well. Obviously, their Senior Magi spirit blood was not powerful enough to cure themselves fully.

The sky turned dark and was thickly dotted with sparkling stars.

In the middle of the camp, on a square, was a bright bonfire, lighting up the space for miles around.

A young man, wearing neat black clothes and heavy armour, possessing a square and handsome face that made him look honest and highly esteemed, stood on the middle of the square He looked at Ji Hao and the other apprentices of the Magi Palace with a frown.

Deep growls rose into the air. These apprentices, who were carefully selected by the Magi Palace, stopped walking and stood still, dividing into over a thousand small groups. The division happened according to how well they knew each other and were separated in the square. Everyone was curiously observing this armed young man, silently guessing who he might be.

“I am Huaxu Lie. From now on, you’re all under my direct command.” When all the apprentices had quieted down, this young man’s voice resounded through the entire camp.

The groups of apprentices, who had stopped talking and walking just now, immediately began whispering to each other again. Was this a hoax? Was he really one of the Huaxu family members? The Huaxu family was an ancient and legendary family and they were very mysterious. Their people rarely connected with the outside world. Even in the highest meeting room of Pu Ban City not a single elder of the Huaxu family had appeared.

The Huaxu family’s people showing up in this great war, what did that mean?

Did the emperor and his ministers perceive something serious and were forced to use those strong powers that were hidden all this long by them? Or were there any other reasons?

Man Man was fiddling with her pair of hammers while murmuring, “Huaxu Country? That’s a nice place. Their honey is so, so sweet, and has a nice aroma. Man Man loves Huaxu Country’s honey jam the most.”

Hearing her words, Yu Mu who was standing aside, swallowed a big mouthful of drool, while his eyeballs turned green. He was glowingly staring at Man Man, with the fat on his face shaking from time to time.

Ji Hao shook his head, turned back to Huaxu Lie and focused on what he was about to say.

“You are all elites amongst the Magi Palace’s apprentices and possess Senior Magus level of powers. Besides, what you have learned and mastered is way more than any ordinary warrior has learned. Every single of you can be ten times more destructive than the other warriors, maybe even hundreds, thousands of times more.”

Huaxu Lie’s eyes were glowing sharply, slowly glancing through each apprentice.
