The Second Collective Pearl Condenses Form Chapter 40: The Ascension of Fairy Goddess

  The girl sitting behind the desk couldn't be considered a beauty, but being called out by Chu Mu like that made her blush with pleasure. Her attitude was much better than when she spoke to others. "Go ahead, name, age, sex... oh, never mind that last one. What major are you applying for and are you an aristocrat?"

  "My name is Zhou Weiqing, sixteen years old... uh, the major I'm applying for, let me ask." He turned his head to ask Shangguan Bing'er behind him "What major are we going to apply for?" Shangguan Bing'er replied in a cold tone "Military Command Department."

  Zhou Weiqing finally turned around, "Military command system. I am the Viscount of the Heaven's Bow Empire, shouldn't this also be considered nobility?" His old man was the Marshal of the Heaven's Bow Empire, he didn't particularly dislike nobles, and it could even lower the admission score line.

  The girl in charge of registration apologized, "Sorry, except for the nobles of this country who will be recognized, only members of the royal family from other countries will be recognized as nobles. So if you want to sign up, it can only be as a commoner."

  His eyes turned cold, and he said lightly: "Then let's be ordinary people." A strange sense of sadness and humiliation suddenly rose to his heart. His country was small and weak, not even recognized as a noble nation, and this was still in the allied country of Flanders. His own country was weak and small, and as a citizen, he had a feeling of not being able to stand up straight. At this moment, he suddenly understood why his father had been training soldiers day and night, constantly leading troops into battle - it was all for the sake of strengthening the nation!

  Sang Guan Bing'er sensed Zhou Weiqing's emotional change and quickly reported her name, taking the admission ticket with him as they walked out of the crowd.

  "Xiao Pang, don't think too much. We came here to make our country stronger in the future, didn't we? Endure for a moment, and the wind will be calm and the waves will be quiet. We came here to learn and gain enough knowledge to repay our motherland later. Your talent is so high, you will definitely lead the Tian Gong Empire's ?? generals to expand the territory, strengthen the country and strengthen the army."

  Zhou Weiqing nodded heavily and pulled up Shangguan Bing'er, saying "It's not me, it's us. No matter where I am, I won't let you leave me."

  Shangguan Bing'er looked at him with a resolute expression in his eyes, and she suddenly realized that her little fatty had changed somewhat at this moment, seemingly no longer the same Zhou Xiaopang who only knew how to laugh. With a slight shock in her heart, she couldn't help but think, my little fatty has grown up.

  Registration was at the entrance of the Holy Royal Military Academy, and the assessment was inside the academy. With their admission tickets in hand, Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er walked into the academy.

  The entrance is a vast open square, with a straight path like a runway, and an 800-meter-long track on the open square. On the other side of the square, opposite the main gate, stands a six-story giant teaching building that is over 300 meters wide. The teaching building is iron-gray in color, exuding a strong and solemn atmosphere.

  The three projects of the new student assessment are all carried out in this large square, and whether they can pass the assessment and be admitted will be decided at that time. There are clear signs to guide the freshmen.

  Chou Wei Qing asked Shangguan Bing'er, "Bing'er, which one should we take first? Ah, I think you'll definitely have no problem with this new student assessment, but I'm not so sure about myself."

  Shangguan Bing'er asked curiously: "Why don't I have a problem?"

  Zhou Weiqing said, "Didn't you see that one of the three assessments is an interview? With our Ice's unparalleled beauty and stunning looks, that's definitely a full score! The other two assessments can be passed with just a few points. I'll take it, with my appearance, the interview is a given, and as for the military assessment, even if I don't get zero points, it's hard to estimate."

  Shangguan Bing'er chuckled and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't belittle yourself, you don't know until you try. Let's go, first let's test your military strategy, Qin."

  The written test for military literacy assessment is on the east side of the square, personal strength assessment is on the west side, and the central square is where the interview takes place. This is to avoid the noise from the personal strength assessment disturbing the written test.

  Two people arrived at the written examination venue, where there were empty tables and chairs. One person handed them a test paper, and the invigilating teacher told them not to whisper to each other, but rather to answer their own papers individually. After finishing, they would hand in their papers directly. At least a dozen teachers were already there grading papers on the spot, determining scores immediately in order to complete the new student assessment in the shortest time possible.

  The pens on the table were all ready, and Zhou Weiqing sat there and looked at the scroll with a smile. If he really had to test his specific military knowledge, such as deploying troops, he wouldn't have gotten zero points. Because when he was young, his meridians were blocked, and his Tianzhu hadn't awakened yet, so General Zhou didn't expect his son to inherit his legacy, and therefore never taught him any military knowledge. But what this test paper was testing wasn't those rigid military knowledge, but rather battle examples.

  The assessment topic: A small isolated city was surrounded by the enemy, at this time, there were only 5,000 soldiers in the city, and tens of millions of civilians, all of whom were elderly women and children. The enemy had 100,000 people, completely surrounding the city, and reinforcements would not arrive for at least three days. In this situation, the enemy used the civilians of the country where the small city was located as the vanguard

  Siege warfare. At this time, if you were the city's main general, how would you decide? The topic is as simple as that, and below is a blank space for writing.

  Zhou Weiqing hesitated for a moment before starting to write with swift strokes. Perhaps due to the constant practice of drawing and condensing his Heavenly Jewel Manual, his handwriting had become more elegant than before.

  In a short while, a long essay had already appeared on the paper, and he didn't even look back at it again. With great satisfaction in his heart, he stood up and glanced at Shangguan Bing'er who was still answering questions not far away, so he got up and went to hand in his paper first.

  The examiners who were grading the papers were always busy, because there was only one question on the test and these teachers were all senior instructors at the Paragon Royal Military Academy, so they graded very quickly. Zhou Weiqing waited in line for a while before it was his turn.

  The person who took over his paper was a male teacher in his fifties, and as soon as he read one line, the teacher's eyebrows furrowed. On Zhou Weiqing's answer sheet, the first line wrote: Kill! Destroy! Burn!!! Three words.

  The general looked down and saw that the paper read: If I were the military commander of this small city, I would not hesitate to give the order to kill. The civilians outside the city are citizens of our country, but what about the civilians and soldiers inside the city? At a time like this, even half a moment's hesitation could lead to the fall of the city and the loss of lives. Would the enemy spare those civilians who charged forward for them? Maybe they would. But as the military commander, I will not gamble with the lives of tens of thousands of civilians and my several thousand soldiers.

  Defending this city is my top priority, those innocent civilians who are the vanguard of the city's assault may be innocent, but if I don't kill them, as a soldier, my mission cannot be completed. Perhaps, the city I am defending is just a small town that has little impact on the overall war situation, however, as a general, I must not think this way, I must do my best to complete my defensive mission. Therefore, I will slaughter mercilessly until the last soldier falls.

  If the enemy's attack cannot directly destroy me, then when night falls, I will hand over the responsibility of defending the city to my deputy general and sneak out of the city alone to avenge the civilians who died in vain. I will kill as many as I can, before I go to raid the enemy, I will prepare enough fuel in the city, leave a dead command for my deputy general. Once the enemy rushes into the city, the whole city will be ignited, and we must fight to the death with the enemy. Even if the city is broken and people are killed, I will not leave any grain of food for the enemy, nor will I leave any living mouth, let them use it again to impact nearby cities. In war, death is inevitable, I can only do my best to do everything I can, to fight for the greatest benefit of the overall situation of the war. As for how many people die, it's not what I can consider.

  Looking at Zhou Weiqing's test paper, the examiner's face became increasingly ugly. He felt a strong bloody aura rushing towards him and couldn't help but shout in anger: "Absurd, utterly absurd."

  "While saying that, he raised his head and stared at Zhou Weiqing. 'Is this really what you think in your heart? I find it hard to imagine how many people would die if you were to become a general. This answer of yours makes me seem to see mountains of corpses and seas of blood. A general who disregards life, slaughters wantonly, and doesn't care about the lives of civilians will never be able to obtain the love and respect of the common people and his soldiers. Aren't you afraid that your soldiers would mutiny?"

  Zhou Weiqing shrugged and said, "What mutiny? Why would there be a mutiny? Can't I just tell them that those civilians are actually disguised enemy soldiers? If I were the general, my duty is to protect our country and home, not to protect all civilians. I don't need their admiration, I only need to ensure more people survive. War always requires sacrifices, do you want me to surrender and abandon the city?"

  The teacher, furious, said: "Even if it's a surrender, your answer is better than this. No matter how you quibble, I will give you zero points for this test paper. And from my personal perspective, I absolutely do not want young people with such a mindset to enter the academy and study, let alone go on to the battlefield in the future."

  Zhou Weiqing curled his lips in disdain, "Ridiculous." He wasn't very concerned about this exam to begin with, so a zero score was no big deal. Anyway, as long as he got full marks on one of the assessments, he could pass the exam. He was extremely confident in the assessment of personal strength.

  Just as the examiner was about to give Zhou Weiqing a big fat zero, suddenly, a clear voice rang out "Wait!!"
