Full-Time Magister: The Calamity of Fire, the Emperor's Flame Burns the Heavens

Chapter 12 Arrival in the Ancient Capital, You Disagree? Then We'll Fight You Until You Do!
In the early morning, birds chirped and twittered in the trees outside the window.

Today marks the day Hua Yu and Hua Yuezhu will leave, each going their own way towards their own ideals.

Hua Zhanhong, unusually, came to see the two off.

“Outside, you represent the Southern Military Region, and you represent me, Hua Zhanhong. If anyone dares to mess with you, don’t back down. The Hua family is not afraid of anyone.”

This is the confidence that Hua Zhanhong has gained from his strength. He regretted not being able to protect his disciple back then, and now he doesn't want that regret to be repeated on his family.

The Qinling Mountains, where Hua Yuezhu is located, are relatively peaceful, with few powerful forces scattered there. However, the ancient capital that Hua Yu went to has a complex and intricate distribution of power.

"Okay, I'll be going now!" Hua Yu said goodbye to the two of them and boarded the military aircraft alone.

The two watched silently as the military aircraft carrying Hua Yu began to accelerate on the runway and headed into the distance.

As Hua Yu sat aboard the military aircraft, he watched through the glass window as the figures behind him gradually shrank, and he felt a pang of unease.

"I bet Sister Nan felt the same way when she boarded the military plane after saying goodbye yesterday!" Hua Yu looked at the bracelet on his wrist.

This unassuming bracelet was a congratulatory gift sent by the old monk from Lingyin Temple in Songcheng, who was skilled in spiritual matters. The bracelet contained a terrifying power and could help him stabilize his mind and eliminate distracting thoughts.

It's not just a calming substance, but also his life-saving artifact. Of course, he also has quite a few other magical tools, which is a benefit brought by his family background.

The military aircraft swiftly streaked through the clouds, heading towards the ancient capital. The journey was not peaceful, as they were attacked by several winged demons from time to time, but Hua Yu easily dealt with them all.

As the military aircraft broke through the last cloud layer, the magnificent ancient city walls came into view. Although it was a sunny day, the entire ancient city still exuded a depressing atmosphere.

"It's like this even during the day, I wonder what it will be like at night," Hua Yu said, looking at this historic city.

Hua Yu stopped thinking about it. In the next few years, he would stay in the ancient capital and would always see the scene of the dead pressing down on the city.

The military aircraft slowly taxied and descended, eventually coming to a stop on the ground.

As the cabin door opened, military mages were already waiting at the military airfield.

"Hua Yu, Military Intelligence." The military magistrate saluted respectfully as Hua Yu came down, saying, "The Army Command specifically asked me to wait for you here. Now we need you to go to the military camp!"

Hua Yu nodded after listening. The military mage led the way, and soon the two arrived at a camp. The military mage led him to a tent.

"Commander Hua, please wait a moment, I'll go in and ask for instructions!" The military magistrate said, then opened the tent and went inside.

Not long after, the military magistrate came out and said, "Hua Juntong, you may go in now!" He then left.

Hua Yu pushed open the tent and saw a man in military uniform with the rank of lieutenant general hanging on his chest. Only a handful of people in the ancient capital military region held this rank. This was on the north wall, so the man in front of him was Military Commander Lu Xu.

"Army Command!" Hua Yu gave a respectful salute.

"This is the north wall of the ancient capital's four city walls, and it's also the place under the most pressure in the entire ancient capital." Lu Junsi's cold gaze swept over Hua Yu.

In his eyes, Hua Yu was no different from those flashy but impractical second-generation rich kids. If he weren't a high-ranking official who was only eighteen years old, he would have really wanted to defy the orders from above and be assigned to another city wall.

“I understand. As a military mage of the Dragon Kingdom, I am prepared to face death.” Hua Yu exuded an aura that chilled people to the bone, his murderous intent almost solidifying into a tangible form.

Lu Xu was startled, but quickly regained his composure. After all, he was a second-generation military officer; if he didn't have some ability, that person probably wouldn't have sent him here. Lu Xu stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked to Hua Yu's side.

"Good, I hope you have the same spirit and courage when facing the dead at night! Come with me!"

Lu Xu patted Hua Yu on the shoulder and walked out of the tent. Hua Yu followed behind him, and Lu Xu led Hua Yu to the camp.

In this camp, hundreds of military mages were training together, their clothes soaked with sweat.

"This is the 13th Army. The military intelligence officer who previously commanded them was killed in the previous undead riot," Lu Xu explained to Hua Yu.

"They can't go into battle right now because they don't have a commander, but now that you're here, this army is in your hands."

The commotion caused by Hua Yu and Lu Xu attracted the attention of all the military mages of the 13th Army.

"Army Command, has the new Military Intelligence Bureau arrived?" a middle-aged military strategist asked, seemingly the leader of the group.

Lu Xu nodded upon hearing this. "That's right, let the brothers come over!"

Upon hearing Lu Xu's words, the middle-aged military mages excitedly summoned the group of military mages who were still training.

Seeing that the group of military mages had gathered, Lu Xu began to introduce them: "See this person next to me? He will be the commander of the 13th Army, with Lin Yuan as his adjutant." Anyone have any objections?
The military mages present saw Hua Yu's young face. Although they appeared calm on the surface, they were inwardly very resistant.

If you encounter a military intelligence officer who is incompetent and lacks ability, it is easy for your own soldiers to lose their lives.

"Report, I have it!" The middle-aged military mage stepped forward somewhat displeased upon hearing Lu Xu's words.

"Lin Yuan, do you have any objections?" Lu Xu asked calmly as Lin Yuan stepped forward.

He had anticipated this, after all, Hua Yu's age was a major issue, especially in such an important place as the military headquarters, where his age would be a point of attack for all military mages.

Now it is up to Hua Yu to rely on his own strength to make these troublemakers in the military obey him. Military orders are not child's play, and a military intelligence officer without a voice cannot stand on the battlefield.

"Letting such a greenhorn become the military commander of our 13th Army? Even if I accept it, the other brothers won't!"

"Unless, he can beat me!" Lin Yuan said with a serious expression.

Lin Yuan, who was appointed by Lu Xu as Hua Yu's deputy, is definitely an outstanding individual in the mid-level realm, even though his cultivation level has not yet reached the high level.

"Oh, even if he's a high-level player, you're still going to fight him?" Lu Xu asked with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

If Lin Yuan's strength reaches the high level, he might be able to take a position in the Military Intelligence Bureau, but he is only at the mid level.

"Fight! As long as he's strong enough, I'll wholeheartedly support him becoming the commander of our 13th Army," Lin Yuan said without fear.

"Then let's fight!" Hua Yu said, stretching his body.

Lu Xu didn't say much. He also wanted to see Hua Yu's strength. Although there was a big difference in strength between the two in this duel, he could still see something.
