Training Camp Rules

Let's rewind to a week ago.

Stuart Grand Manor

The Grand Master, Kaimon Raine, the Vice Commander, Sonam Hydra, along with three captains from the Knight Order and a complete clone of the "Clock Master," arrived here together.

A comprehensive "investigation" of the manor was conducted.

That's right.

The elite training camp is for outstanding juniors from the academy, who are the future pillars of the Holy City.

The purpose of the intensive training was to familiarize them with the environment outside the city in advance, hone their skills, and teach them how to fight against life outside the city and how to move forward in the dark.

During the process, it is essential to avoid any unexpected dangers.

It's not simply a matter of taking the selected Knight-Errant to an area outside the city and letting them live there for a while... There is a fairly detailed plan and design for the elite training program.

There are too many unknown variables outside the city, and the Knight-Errant are not yet capable of dealing with them.

The Knight Order in charge of the training camp need to conduct a detailed investigation of the "camp" in advance.

Eradicate all higher beings in the area, and through planning, layout, and even repair and construction of some important facilities, transform it into a "camp" suitable for the training of Knight-Errant.

Meanwhile, some members of the Knight Order will also serve as [NPCs] providing basic quests during the training camp.

Assign students tasks related to the region, and once completed, they can submit them and have their points calculated.

The quality and quantity of completed tasks will determine the final score of the training camp; at least a "qualified" score is required to receive a training camp completion certificate.

The Holy City has a history of more than 100 years.

The important figures in Parliament, the Church, the Royal Family, and the Knight Order were very keen on the idea that elite training should be conducted in advance.

Therefore, a systematic training process has long been established.

[Camp planning], [Mission planning], [Night Watcher assignment], [Points ranking system], and [In-depth exploration].

Once a squad reaches and completes the deepest [core mission] in the area, the training camp will come to an end, and all members will return to the Holy City, where the leader of the Knight Order will report the completion status of the training camp to the council.

Student teams that receive different evaluations will be recognized, and teams that perform exceptionally well will receive special rewards and attention from higher-ups.

Vice Commander Hydra stared at the strange manor and asked:

"Signs of 'Otherworldly Demons' have been found at the Stuart Grand Manor on several occasions, but the Black Rose Knights' last investigation of the area also revealed traces of Otherworldly Demons within the castle."

However, they could not find the true form of the demon.

Is choosing a "campsite" a little too difficult this time?

"If they encounter demonic beings during the training camp, it will result in a large number of casualties."

Commander Kaimon sat on the ground, stroking his fangs with one hand, and said with great certainty:

"Then reduce the selection rate of lower-grade students. I will personally apply to the council to change the preliminary selection process and select students myself."

Increase the number of Night Watcher during the training period.

You leaders should use reconnaissance techniques or servant control to strengthen the monitoring and protection of each student team.

"Intervene immediately upon detecting any demonic aura."

"Yes!"

Hydra dared not say more about the leader's opinion.

"Clock Master, do you have any objections?"

The Clock Master's complete clone symbolizes the [Council Review Committee], whose purpose in coming here is to check whether the "camp" selection meets the training standards.

The Clock Master, wearing a vortex mask, was still observing the "camp" and waited three minutes before answering Kaimon's question:

"If this place is to be chosen as the First Year, it is necessary to reduce the number of freshmen to no more than eight. Only the top freshmen can undergo intensive training in this environment."

In addition, you must ensure that your security measures are in place.

Serious casualties will directly impact your Knight Order's future resource supplies and the next overall index assessment.

"Haha! That's fine then... I also have another suggestion."

I hope to treat the small number of First Year Knight-Errant selected this time differently from the main group, giving them a special training opportunity.

"Your eldest grandson is among the Newcomer, isn't he?" The Clock Master pointed out the key point.

Commander Kaimon didn't hide anything. "Haha! That's right, Abel is indeed among this batch of Newcomer."

This is his first time training outside the city, and I wanted to give him a different kind of challenge.

Moreover, I've heard that there are many talented freshmen among this First Year, so it would be a good opportunity to let them collaborate in advance.

Abel will surely become the light of hope for the Holy City, and I believe it is necessary to do so.

"Do you have a detailed proposal? I need to review it."

Vice Captain Hydra handed over a "Special Squad Plan".

"Oh! Just separating them individually? That's fine... Indeed, as you said, there's a promising student among this year's freshmen."

"It must be my Abel, right?"

"I haven't officially met Commander Kaimon's eldest grandson yet, so I can't comment."

"So, who are these promising talents you're talking about?"

The Clock Master did not answer the question, but instead handed the Plan Document back to Kaimon, meaning he acknowledged the "Special Squad Plan".

Let's return to the present.

The carriage carrying the Knight-Errant stopped at the beginning of the stone road through the farmland.

Although only six First Year were selected.

However, quite a few Knight-Errant from the second Third Year still passed Commander Kaimon's test.

A total of 74 Knight-Errant participated in the elite training camp. Their horses were properly settled by professionals, and the entire group walked into the miniature town area within the estate.

Apart from the Vice Commander Hydra and the second sergeant Kenny.

The rest of the Knight Order went to different areas of the manor according to their assigned roles, serving as the corresponding NPCs and conducting detailed inspections and scene setups in their assigned areas.

"Next, I will announce the relevant rules for this elite training camp."

As with previous training camps, a task-based Point System will be adopted.

Before the training camp begins, you will need to form your own teams. Each team must have no more than 5 members. After that, submit your team list to me.

Our Behemoth Knight Order will be scattered throughout the various areas of the "camp," each playing a different role.

Basic roles will provide you with relevant basic tasks, and some common tasks will also be posted on the bulletin board.

Intermediate, advanced, or special missions can only be accepted or triggered after certain conditions are met, such as obtaining a special item in the manor or killing a sufficient number of low-level aliens.

The most important "core tasks" will not be explicitly marked.

When you have completed enough tasks, reached the required points, and then used the clues you have gathered to deduce the true nature of the Stuart Manor,

The Night Watcher will naturally come to you, providing clues related to the core mission.

This training camp will end once one of the teams resolves the final incident in the manor.

The final evaluation result will be based on the points your team earns.

During the training camp, it is recommended that you occupy an abandoned building in a small town as your 'residence', and set up relevant seals and traps to prevent invasion by foreign objects while you are resting.

There are two things you need to be aware of when occupying a dwelling.

First, only one team is allowed to live in a building; mixed use is not permitted.

Second, it is not allowed to occupy the building where the NPC is located.

There might not be enough buildings; any extra teams should be prepared to camp in the fields.
