Chapter 613: The Prince and the Princess
The red sun rises in the east, another round of fighting on Futa Beach begins, and there are not many kobolds who have landed with the ocean current today, and there are only more than two or three hundred by visual observation.
The battle lasted for a morning, and today the three of them discussed it, usually three people hit together, this time the three people are ready to disperse, although it is necessary to hone the tacit understanding of the battle, but the combat experience of a single person is also indispensable. Trench Le cultivation is the weakest and lacks killing moves, Ji Ya is not worried that he will defend against the enemy alone, so he asks the archer Mia to be with Trench Ile.
Although Mia is a good archer, in the face of rough-skinned kobolds, her bow and arrows are very limited, and it is natural to save some effort to partner with Trench.
Out of the three-person team mode, Ji Ya's killing speed does not decrease but rises, killing more than a dozen kobolds in a short time, and Ziyun's two-thorn ape swordsmanship is very smart, and it is extremely fast, and now Ziyun's cultivation is increasing day by day, although he can't kill the enemy as quickly as Ji Ya, but he can always solve the opponent in front of him without hurrying, which is a steady and steady style.
And the biggest advantage of Trench is that he has luck, and luck is also extremely important in the battlefield, although he and Mia have been in danger a few times, but they are all safe and sound, but the efficiency of the two is a little lower, and they only kill three kobolds in one morning. Mia took out a dagger and cut off the tail of the kobold, although the mercenaries here are here for the sake of the country, but there is no benefit and they can't be sacrificed in vain, so for those who have made meritorious contributions to kill the enemy, there will naturally be a bonus. The dog's tail has become the standard for distribution, and the situation of only recognizing the dog's tail and not the person has also led to human mercenaries killing each other, but it will not be on the surface.
As the supreme governor of the East China Sea Fortress, General Brutus of course had to greet the king personally, and when he learned that the battle was going on on on the beach, the king took Prince Sauron to the top of the fortress to watch the battle.
At this time, the battle had gradually come to an end, and only a few dozen kobolds were slowly surrounded and killed, and the king nodded when he saw this, and the situation was similar to what he expected. And Prince Sauron was really shocked, he was not a flower in a greenhouse, and he had fought against bandit gangs and low-level monsters, but the scale of those battles was only two or three hundred people, looking at the sandy beaches that had been dyed red, and the mountains of corpses that were piled up and couldn't tell whether they were humans or orcs, Prince Sauron really understood the purpose of his father taking him out this time.
The king then said, "Brutus, arrange a hundred soldiers for Sauron, and now you will go down with the bounty and distribute it, and you will stay on the beach for a few days, and I will see how you behave here." ”
Knowing that he was going to the flesh battlefield below, Prince Sauron was of course nervous, but he still kept his composure and said, "Yes, I will not let you down my father. ”
Prince Sauron did not feel embarrassed by his father's request, the territory of Suran Island is not large, the population is not large, the economy and agriculture are relatively backward, the space to play as the ruler is extremely limited, and many small things that work hard cannot bring prestige to the king, but if you do not do well enough, the people will not understand your hard work.
In view of this, showing martial prowess to the people has become a compulsory course for the kings of Suram in the past, they have to go through the battlefield in the time of the prince, and a king who cannot win a battle is not a good king, which is the most simple value of Suran Island.
The king allocated only a hundred men to the prince, on the one hand, to temper him, and on the other hand, to protect him. Now there are only a few local militias fighting on the beach, except for mercenaries and adventurers. Not to mention the private soldiers of the nobles from all over the country who came to support, even the regular army of the country was not dispatched.
Most of the army was gathered by General Brutus, armed with spears and javelins, and heavily armored and round shields, relying on the East China Sea fortress, while the famous magical monks of Suran Island did not participate in the battle, and were always on standby in the fortress, and once the mercenaries on the beach could not hold on, they would first release a wave of large-scale spells before letting the regular army attack.
In addition to preserving the strength of the regular army, this arrangement also has the idea of consuming these mercenaries, these people are reckless and strong, and do not produce, although there is no direct harm to the country, but the potential threat has already been posed, so it is best to consume them here. The king did not elaborate on this point to Prince Sauron, of course he wanted to see what his son would do, and he was also worried that if he told him, he was young and vigorous, and his wrists were not in place, so that these warriors could see the clues, but only added to the trouble.
......
The arrival of the prince makes the beach of Futa lively after the battle, and these reckless warriors are naturally interested in the royal family, but what makes them pay more attention to the bounty brought by the prince.
Prince Sauron first gave a few words of encouragement before coming to the crowd, and then personally presided over the distribution of the bonus, he did this with a double meaning, since he promised his father to perform well, then he must make achievements, but he also just arrived, and he did not know anything about the situation on the battlefield. Now take advantage of the distribution of bonuses, one to see if there are any particularly strong fighters, and the other to see if there is a more tacit team combination. Find out these two types of people in the formation of their own team, plus the hundred regular troops they brought, it is enough to integrate into the strongest combat force here, and then as long as they perform eye-catching under their own leadership, they will naturally attract the attention of others, and with a few more battles, they can make the people here gather together with themselves as the center. Prince Sauron did not rely on royal power to establish his authority from the beginning, but wanted to integrate the elite first and make a name for himself before gradually establishing his status.
Everyone was queuing up to receive the bonus, and Ji Ya was not interested in it at all, and when he saw this, he knew that Ji Ya only killed the enemy and did not take the dog's tail, and he said with a tangled face: "Senior sister, you won't......"
Haole is now a businessman, so he naturally has to pay attention to interests, and it is normal for him to ask for corresponding bonuses for killing enemies, and Ziyun is from a noble background, and he naturally values the honor after the battle. On the other hand, Ji Ya is the strongest among the three and kills the most enemies, but she is also the least concerned about it, she killed at least twenty kobolds this morning, but she didn't take a single tail, and now she doesn't know that the lucky guy is cheap.
Ziyun on the side said with a smile: "Don't you know her, cultivation is the first, these kobolds are just the whetstones of the senior sister." ”
Hao Le muttered: "That being said, but we always have to eat, this war is endless, we can't sit and eat empty." ”
Ziyun smiled: "Don't worry, just look at our harvest is not cheap." ”
Trench turned his head to look at Mia, the archer, "Why are you here too?"
Although it won't be explained, discrimination exists after all, as a woman, there is no strong backer, even if there is a war exploit, it will be discounted, Mia and Sanxiao got acquainted before, and asked Haole and Ziyun to help exchange bonuses, so as not to be squeezed by others in the past. Today she suddenly did it herself, and she was amazed.
Mia said with some excitement: "Don't you see? That's His Royal Highness the Prince!
Born in a fishing village, Haole naturally can't understand what kind of feelings Mia has for the king, the royal family, etc., born in a knightly family, he just wants to get his share of the bounty.
Prince Sauron threw money over and over again, silently remembering a few unique warriors or combinations, which might become his future capital and team, and the people who followed surprised him. It was Ziyun who came to him, and the appearance of the people from Sulan Island attracted his attention, but Sulan Island had trade contacts with the countries of the South China Sea and the Great Zhou Dynasty, so as a prince, he was not too surprised to see foreign visitors. But Ziyun's loot is really a lot, seven dog tails. This is still the result of the most battles of a single warrior, and Ziyun's appearance is still so young, and he looks about the same age as himself, which is enough for Prince Sauron to give up his reserve and ask in his voice.
"This warrior, are you from the Zhou Kingdom from the north?"
In the face of the prince's inquiry, Ziyun was neither humble nor arrogant: "Yes, our senior sister and brother are all from Da Zhou. ”
The prince nodded: "I have long heard that there are many magical existences in the Zhou Kingdom, but I didn't expect you to have such strength at such a young age, and it really deserves your reputation." ”
Ziyun shook his head: "What am I, my senior sister killed twenty or thirty ko-headed monsters casually." ”
Prince Sauron was even more surprised when he heard this: "There are such powerful characters, then I must meet, isn't your senior sister in the team?" He looked at the people queuing behind him, there were some female warriors, but there were no Zhou people from the north, and these female warriors did not look like they were begging for a reward with twenty or thirty dog tails.
Ziyun scratched his nose embarrassedly: "My senior sister is not here, she didn't even cut off the dog's tail, she regards the battle here as exercise, not fighting." ”
Prince Sauron frowned, then there is no evidence for what Ziyun said, is there really such a master here? Prince Sauron's mind moved quickly: "Okay, can I go with you to see your senior sister?"
Ziyun doesn't care, since he was stationed here, he could see familiar faces every day, covered with white cloth or amputated limbs, and the three small huddles lived on the edge of the Futa beach camp, and he had seen more than 1,800 of his senior sisters, and the prince wanted to see what was tight.
Seeing that it was about to come to him, Ziyun cut off the prince's beard, and Mia's disappointment was indescribable. Trench shook his head and continued to prepare to claim his prize.
Divided into a team of twenty people, Prince Sauron and Ziyun came to the place where the three children lived temporarily, for Prince Sauron's thoughts, Ziyun of course understood and fully understood, now it is the time when Sulan Island's 'national crisis is at the head', Ji Ya, who has strong combat power, will naturally be regarded as the object of attention. If you want to come to Senior Sister Ji Ya, she will not object, after all, she has traveled thousands of miles back to her ancestors' hometown, and Ji Ya has always wanted to do something here.
More than 20 people came to the edge of Futa Beach, and Ji Ya was wielding a big sword in an open space, Prince Sauron was surprised again, he thought that Ziyun's senior sister was also a Zhou person, but he didn't expect it to be a girl from Suran Island, and Prince Sauron, who had some force value, couldn't feel how Ji Ya's cultivation was, but just looking at this situation, it was clear that this girl was by no means an ordinary person.
Ji Ya is so skillful, she naturally noticed the person who came early, but Ziyun brought it, she didn't care what to say, the moment she put away the sword and turned around, Ji Ya and Prince Sauron looked at each other, the prince didn't expect Ji Ya to be so beautiful, and he was shocked for a while.
