Chapter 82: Rebuilding a family and country (10)(1/2)

As the cathedral of the Archbishop of Xinkendi, the magnificence of Maple Stone City Cathedral is far from the countryside, and the small chapels in the town are comparable.

Even the Cathedral of Revodant, which is already called the most sacred in Houder's eyes, seems dull compared to it.

Standing in the square in front of Fengshi City Cathedral, Houdel and other reserve officers did not even dare to show off their anger.

We should not blame these young people for their instinctive reactions, because the reason why Maple Stone City Cathedral has been built so tall and steep is to make the viewers dizzy and awe when they look up.

Of course, there are also academic officers who have suffered from small tests, big tests, in-class tests, end-of-month tests, mid-term tests, and final tests, intending to give Ye Luzi's colleagues a little "surprise", so they deliberately did not inform the reserve officers why the "written test will be held in Fengshicheng Cathedral."

If the appearance of Maple Stone City Cathedral gave Houdel a wake-up call, then the next person to appear was to make Houdel completely at a loss.

Entering from the main entrance, which is slightly tiny by the appearance of the cathedral, Houdel saw at a glance that there were several tables standing side by side under the altar at the end of the temple, and behind the table was clearly the Blood Wolf himself.

"What's going on?" Hou Deer panicked and asked the people beside him: "You are here too? Are you here to invigilate the exam?"

The other reserve officers were also unprepared for this, and everyone stopped at the entrance of the cathedral and did not dare to walk in.

The next moment, for Houdel, something terrible happened - the Blood Wolf waved at him.

"Is it for me?" Houdel grabbed Doug and Crowder and asked in disbelief: "Is it for me?"

Doug and Claude firmly took Houdall's hand and quietly took a step back to the side. Houdall, who was originally hiding in the crowd, was instantly isolated.

Then, something even more terrifying happened - the Blood Wolf waved again, this time it was obviously more impatient than the last time.

Having nowhere to hide, Hou Deer had to bite the bullet and step into the dome of Maple Stone City Cathedral first.

Walking in the central aisle leading to the altar, the smallest sound made by Houdel would also be reflected back by the walls and vaults, becoming clear and loud, which made him unconsciously tiptoe and try not to make footsteps.

On both sides of the aisle, there were originally rows of benches for lay people to sit when attending the ceremony.

At this moment, the benches have been completely removed, replaced by a complete set of marching tables and benches, which are far apart from each other, but are neatly arranged.

The servants of the cathedral were busy placing writing tools on the marching table. When they heard someone coming in, they all turned their eyes to the door.

Hou Deer, who was watching everyone, suddenly felt that he could not even walk. Every step he took was like stepping on shaking gravel, and he felt awkward everywhere.

Fortunately, the church servants only took a brief look at him and soon buried their heads in continuing to arrange the examination room.

Houdel walked to the altar like a thin ice, and raised his hand to salute the Blood Wolf with a flattering voice: "Your Excellency."

Blood Wolf just glanced at him expressionlessly and pointed at the gray-haired clerk beside him.

"Soldier Card." The old clerk reached out to Houdeer.

Houdel handed over the army card.

"Are you Houdel?" the old clerk asked without raising his head while registering.

If it were normal, Houdeer would definitely choke back with a sentence "I'm not the fuck, who am I?"

However, at this moment, the Blood Wolf was sitting next to him and watching, and Houdel had to answer honestly: "Yes."

"age?"

"A nineteenth a month."

"Age?" the old clerk asked again with a long voice.

"eighteen."

"Hometown?"

"Ah?" Houdel didn't understand.

"Where is the home?"

"Niushi Valley." Houdel thought for a while and added: "Tiefeng County."

The comparison was correct, and the old clerk took out a number card from the wooden box at hand and handed it to Houdeer with the military card: "Wait next to you, someone will take you to your seat later."

The next reserve officer to "test the true body" was Doug, and Houdel watched his friend experience the same question and answer in a boring manner.

He actually didn't quite understand why he had to spend more money on these things, but now it is obviously not a good time to ask questions.

The reserve officers received the number plates one by one, and soon arrived at Cloud.

When Claude, who was still childish, took out the army card, the Blood Wolf, who had not spoken, spoke: "Claude Lee?"

Claude was stunned, and he came to his senses until his comrades behind him stabbed him.

"Yes!" Claude stood attentively and saluted: "It's me."

"How is your arrow injury recovering?"

"All are healed." Although the wounds sometimes itch, Claude subconsciously replied: "Everything is so sensible."

"You have grown a lot taller than the last time I met you."

For some reason, Claude Lee's nose was a little sore: "I've grown a lot taller, and I'm always hungry. The company commander said I'm not full of food."

The blood wolf nodded.

Seeing this, the old clerk on the side was unconsciously more kind when he talked to the half-boy in front of him.

Claude successfully received the number plate and walked towards the other reserve officers waiting to sit down. One of them was not noticed and was clamped by Houdel's elbow.

"You know your Excellency." Houdel asked, biting his ear.

"This... is a long story." Before Claude could come back from his conversation with Blood Wolf, he whispered: "It shouldn't be considered aware of him."

"Go to you, aren't you called knowing each other?" Houdel said in grief and anger: "I have never seen such...so gentle expressions on your face."

Soon all the reserve officers and commissioned officers received the number plate.

Several church servants came over and led the subjects to the seats corresponding to the various number plates.

The number on Houdel's number plate is "198", and the corresponding seat is in the third last row of all seats.

As soon as I sat on a simple bench marked No. 198, the world immediately changed.

The dome of the church is so high that it seems to fall down and hit his eyes; his comrades are clearly sitting a few meters away from him, but there seems to be a vast ocean in the middle.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Look at me, I look at you, you can talk when you open your mouth, but no one dares to speak.

Houdel's heart was beating "bang" and he couldn't wipe the sweat from his palms no matter how hard he wiped it.

In fact, just yesterday, he went to Company Commander Peter Bunier to inquire about the exam, and the news he got was that "the questions for this exam were very simple and not difficult at all."

However, when he was really sitting in the exam room, he couldn't help but become anxious.

Houdel had to find something to distract himself, and he began to study the number plates in his hand: it seemed to be from pine? It was made so exquisitely! The color was so bright!

Looking, Houdel suddenly realized.

No. 198?

Wouldn't that mean there are at least 198 people coming to take the exam?

However - Houdel stretched his neck and looked around - his comrades and the boys in leather boots all added up, and they didn't have half of the seats.

Is there anyone else coming to take the exam?

Soon, Houdeer knew - why he was only No. 198?

Shortly after the reserve officers took their seats, a short figure appeared at the main entrance of the cathedral, opened his head and then was also called by the Blood Wolf from afar, and walked towards the altar reluctantly.

Hou Deer couldn't help but be amazed when he recognized who the visitor was.

He is the famous Blood Wolf champion - Company Commander Peter Bunier.

Then more company-level officers walked into the Fengshi City Cathedral: Li Wei, Shao Luoshi, Rolf... They were all famous figures in the Tiefeng County Army.

At this moment, even the solemn and solemn atmosphere in the examination room could no longer suppress the curiosity of the candidates.

The reserve officers began to ask each other with their eyes and mouth shape: "What's going on? The company commander also needs to take the exam?"

If the appearance of the company commanders has caught the reserve officers off guard, then the next person who appears can be said to have shocked Houdeer's chin in a literal sense.

Tamas, Bart Shaling and the hot new battalion commander Lannis accompanied Sergeant Ish Sweetwater, whom Houdel had just met this morning, walked into Maple Stone Cathedral with a chatter and laughter.

Then came the commanders of the Wolf Cavalry Unit - Pierre Mitchell and Vahika Morozov.

Only then did Houdeer realize that this was not just an exam for the reserve officers - but all officers who had not attended the military academy were going to take the exam.

He immediately thought of: If the officers at the company level, battalion level and even regiment level are required to be tested, what about the troops stationed in other areas?

I'm afraid that the same exam is being held at this moment in Vorne County, Tiefeng County, and even in areas controlled by friendly forces such as Baishan County.

This is a unified examination covering the provinces of Xinkendi, and the scale is far beyond Houdel's boldest imagination.

"Please." Houdel looked up at the saint who was not known by his name on the dome of the church. For the first time in his life, he prayed so devoutly: "Don't ask too difficult questions."

...

Just as Houdell was praying desperately, in front of the altar of Maple Stone Cathedral, Winters took out a flat silver box from his arms, opened the lid, and placed it on the table.

It was Winters' idea to use the Archdiocese as an examination room.

On the one hand, I want to give the subjects some psychological pressure to deter anyone who wants to cheat; the more important reason is that even if I search for Fengshi City, I can't find a place that is more suitable for the examination room than the Archdiocese Cathedral.

Other public buildings included in the consideration are either not large enough places—such as the Town Hall Auditorium; or nothing except the place is large enough—such as the playground of the military camp in the city.

In addition to Fengshicheng Cathedral, where is there a good place where there is no wind or sun exposure, good ventilation, moderate lighting, spacious space, and enough tables, chairs, benches, and pens, ink and paper?
