In the middle of the clearing, there was another man, who looked to be in his thirties, with piercing eyes and a resolute face like a knife and an axe. Dressed in red armor, with a wide giant sword pinned to his waist, his figure is erect, and he is draped in a silver-white cloak behind his back, and there is a majestic lion in the position of the armor on his chest. This is the standard attire of the soldiers under the command of the Duke of Gallo of the Republic of Venice, and Nangong Yu feels that looking at him, he should be an officer similar to a centurion in the army.

Randy stepped forward at this time and saluted solemnly, and then said respectfully to the officer, "Hello, honorable sir, I apologize for your trouble this time, these are the children in our village who want to be soldiers." ”

The middle-aged man glanced at Randy lightly, nodded slightly, and returned the courtesy, he said, "I'm still in a hurry, you can retreat first." ”

Randy said, "Okay. ”

He turned his head to the children in the village and said, "Children, this is the prefect of the Duke of Gallo, next, he will take you to the military camp in Venice for training, you must cooperate well and obey the military orders, I look forward to you all making meritorious contributions." ”

The middle-aged man said impatiently, "Okay, Randy, don't be verbose, I still have several places to go, don't delay my time." ”

Randy nodded hurriedly and quickly stepped aside.

The middle-aged man's gaze fell on these children in front of him, as the captain of the recruit of the Duke of Gallo, it was necessary to review these reservists, and he had long been accustomed to it.

He shouted, "Stand up for me, stand in a row." ”

Nangong Yu was the youngest in the group and stood on the far left.

The middle-aged man's gaze swept over these people one by one, and when he saw Nangong Yu, he couldn't help but be stunned. Nangong Yu not only looked very small, but also had black hair, black eyes and yellow skin that were different from ordinary people, which had to surprise the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man slowly walked in front of Nangong Yu and said, "What's your name?"

Nangong Yu looked up at the middle-aged man, thought for a while, and said, "My name is Luca Rossi. He said his new name in this world anyway, mainly to avoid more trouble.

The middle-aged man looked at Nangong Yu like a monster and said, "Are you born like this?"

Nangong Yu couldn't help but be slightly annoyed, he hated such a gaze, but in order to be able to get close to Duke Gallo and investigate the matter of the Southern Cross, he had to hold back.

The middle-aged man continued, "How old are you?"

Nangong Yu said: "12 years old. ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he laughed and said, "Haha, you're only 12 years old, and you're here to be a soldier?" We don't need a child, you can go back." ”

Nangong Yu frowned, anyone would be unhappy if they were looked down upon, let alone the commander of the Jinyi Guard in his previous life.

Nangong Yu said lightly: "How can I become a soldier?"

The middle-aged man said, "I can ignore your age, but you need to prove it to me." ”

Nangong Yu said: "How to prove it?"

The middle-aged man thought for a moment and looked back at the guards behind him, he pointed to one of them and said, "Jesse, get out of line!"

The man instantly straightened up and replied in a loud voice, "Yes, sir." ”

I saw a relatively short and thin soldier take a few steps forward and came behind the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man turned his head, pointed at the soldier behind him with his thumb, and said to Nangong Yu: "Boy, as long as you can punch him, I will allow you to be a soldier." ”

Nangong Yu just glanced at the soldier, then turned his head to stare at the middle-aged man in front of him, pointed at his nose and said, "He can't do it, I challenge you, if I can't knock you down within 5 seconds, I'll turn around and leave." ”

The middle-aged man listened to Nangong Yu's words, his eyes widened instantly, his face couldn't help twitching, obviously full of smiles, and the soldiers around him couldn't help it, their shoulders shrugged, and they had an expression of watching a play. This middle-aged man is a battle-hardened veteran who has experienced countless battles large and small, and has made countless meritorious contributions. Few soldiers in the barracks could beat him, and he was an instructor specializing in training recruits, and in the eyes of these guards, this middle-aged man was the god of war.

But the 12-year-old weird boy in front of him said that he wanted to challenge him, which was ridiculous, including these teenagers in the village, all had a look of watching the play, and they wanted to know how this weird boy was beaten and cried by the officer.

The middle-aged man finally held back a smile and said contemptuously to Nangong Yu: "I don't show mercy, you are sure to challenge me." Don't say five seconds, if you can hold on to my hands for ten seconds, I will allow you to join the barracks, you can choose to escape, otherwise, you will be injured for a while, but no one will help you heal. ”

The middle-aged man felt that it didn't take ten seconds to put down this teenager at all, one second was enough.

The corners of Nangong Yu's mouth curled up slightly, picked up a very short branch from the ground, and held it in his hand with his backhand.

When the middle-aged man saw this, he laughed and said, "Are you going to use this broken branch as a weapon?"

The people around couldn't help but whisper.

"Do you think he's crazy? ”

"I think his father is an alcoholic, he drinks every day, and if you look at his appearance, I guess there is something wrong with his brain. ”

"I heard that he couldn't speak until he was five years old, so he must have something wrong with his brain. ”

"Look at how he was taught by the chief, it's just too arrogant. ”

......

Nangong Yu's hearing was so good, these words all reached his ears, and he didn't care at all, he said to the middle-aged man in front of him, "What's your name?"

The middle-aged man said, "Listen, my name is Robert Hughes, are you ready?"

Nangong Yu didn't speak, and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him playfully.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "You are ready, you can attack me at any time." ”

Nangong Yu made a very arrogant move at this time, he held the branch with his right hand, stretched out his left hand in front of him, stretched out his index finger, compared a "1" posture, and then said: "1!"

Then he stretched out two more fingers and continued to say "2!"

The middle-aged man looked at Nangong Yu strangely, not knowing what he was doing.

Nangong Yu stretched out three more fingers, and when he said the number "3" in his mouth, his face gradually became cold, and his eyes stared at the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man seemed to sense that something was wrong, and the eyes of the young man in front of him were not at all the eyes that a teenager should have, as if they were like the cold gaze of a lion before hunting.

When the fourth finger and the word "4" appeared, the middle-aged man felt as if his chest was tightly pressed by a big stone, and his hand had unconsciously put on the giant sword on his waist, after all, he was a person who had fought on the battlefield, and his premonition of danger was stronger than that of ordinary people, but he couldn't believe it anyway, the young man in front of him made him feel like a great enemy.

And at this moment, Nangong Yu moved, his feet were ghostly, as if he came behind the middle-aged man in an instant, stretched out his right foot, and kicked the middle-aged man to the back of his knee, and the sharp pain in his leg made him fall to the ground before he had time to react. Nangong Yu was so fast, he pressed the middle-aged man's feet with his left leg and calf, twisted the middle-aged man's arm with his left hand, pressed it under his body in reverse, and put his right hand on the middle-aged man's neck with a branch. He said slowly, "5! Sir, you lost." ”

The clearing instantly fell silent, and everyone looked at Robert who was pressed under Nangong Yu in amazement, especially for those soldiers, they knew the strength of this commander very well, but now, he was knocked to the ground in an instant by a young man who was only twelve years old, which simply overwhelmed everyone.

At this time, everyone present was speechless, the situation in front of him can be said to be a miracle, a veteran of the battlefield was instantly knocked down by a 12-year-old boy, no one would believe it, but right now, such a thing happened in front of him.

Robert's mind was dizzy at this time, he only remembered that he had been kicked by the young man, and as soon as he felt the pain, there was already an extra branch in front of his neck, and he could imagine that if it was a short sword, he would have died.

What Nangong Yu used was the most common move in the residual tendon technique in the hand of splitting the tendons and bones. The muscles and bones are mainly divided into three skills, one of which is the bone breaking technique, which is to carry out hard damage to the bones or joints of the twelve parts of the body, the twelve parts are the neck bone, clavicle, pipa bone, upper arm bone, elbow bone, wrist bone, phalange, toe bone, knee bone, tibia, ankle bone, and ribs. Second, the residual tendon technique, mainly to cut or hit the eight main muscle bundles of the body, making people lose their ability to exercise, the eight parts are the back of the neck tendon, shoulder tendon, upper arm tendon, lower arm tendon, waist tendon, thigh tendon, knee tendon, and foot tendon. Third, the tendon chopping knife is a method of cutting shoulder tendons, upper arm tendons, thigh tendons, knee tendons, and hind tendons with sharp weapons.

And just now, Nangong Yu attacked Robert's knee tendons, making his legs unable to stand for an instant, twisting the upper arm tendons and forearm tendons with his left hand, and simulating a sharp weapon with a branch in his right hand, aimed at his throat. And Nangong Yu's strength control is very accurate, which not only makes him incapacitated, but also does not hurt him, after all, it depends on him to enter the barracks.

Robert's face was blue and red at this time, and his whole body had no ability to resist at this time. He gritted his teeth and said slowly, "I lost." ”

Nangong Yu slowly let go of his hand, Robert slowly stood up, moved his hands and feet, and looked at Nangong Yu with burning eyes.

Nangong Yu said lightly: "Can I participate now?"

Robert's said, "Who taught you this?"

Nangong Yu naturally can't say that he brought it in his previous life, he can only say: "Born to be." In fact, he is right, he was born in this life.

Robert knows that everyone has their own secrets, and he thinks that the young man in front of him is to keep his secrets and not ask too much, but the soldiers in the barracks fight on the battlefield, and they all respect the strong, and this theorem is the same everywhere.

Robert's eyes lit up, not caring at all that he was being put down by the young man in front of him just now, and said, "Good boy, your name is Luca Rossi, is it? ”

After that, he led Nangong Yu to his horse, personally carried Nangong Yu to the horse, turned over on the horse, sat behind Nangong Yu, and rode away on his own regardless of the guards behind him.

On the way, Nangong Yu looked back at the village from time to time.

Robert said, "Luca, can't you go home?"

Nangong Yu nodded.

Robert smiled slightly and said, "Everyone who is a soldier is like this, and they are reluctant when they just leave home, but you are so good, you are much better than those of my subordinates, and you will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future." Your dad is so lucky to have such a wonderful child as you. Judging by what you are wearing, your family should not be rich, and when you have meritorious deeds, the duke will give you more gold coins, and when the time comes, your family's life will be better. ”

Speaking of his father, Nangong Yu looked back at the direction of the village again, what he can't let go of now is his father in this world, although he has stopped drinking heavily in the past two days, and he has been by his side, making himself feel that warm fatherly love, but Nangong Yu always has some uneasy feelings in his heart.

After all, Nangong Yu has been a human being for two lives, and slowly, his emotions have returned to normal, and what he thinks in his heart is still the Southern Cross that makes his true qi disordered. He asked Robert, "Can you tell me about the promotions in the barracks?"

Nangong Yu's original intention was to improve his chances of getting close to the Duke through promotion, so as to facilitate the exploration of the Southern Cross. But in Robert's view, this is simply a desire to make a contribution.

Robert smiled and said, "Our military camp is under the command of Duke Gallo, and its main task is to annihilate pirates and meet foreign enemies. And now, all countries are preparing to act for the sake of interests, I estimate that there will be a war in the near future, and this is also a good opportunity for us to make contributions, and when we get to the barracks, I will tell you in detail. ”

Nangong Yu then asked, "Then how can I meet Duke Gallo?"

Robert glanced at Nangong Yu and said, "Boy, don't be anxious when you arrive at the barracks, the road is taken step by step, I admit that you are good, but Duke Gallo is not something you can see if you want to, or that sentence, you must have military merits, and the bigger the better, so that you can have a chance to be promoted." ”

Obviously, Robert thinks that Nangong Yu is eager for quick success and wants to climb his social status through the military camp, but obviously, for a poor boy in a village, it is impossible to ascend to the sky in one step, so Robert is kind enough to persuade him.

Robert had only briefly introduced the barracks now, and it seemed that in order to understand it in detail, it was necessary to enter the barracks. Nangong Yu could only slowly grope and explore after entering the barracks.

It was not too far from the village to the barracks, and the two of them had been walking on horseback for more than two hours, and they could already see the barracks in the distance.

Although this barracks is not the largest according to Robert, it looks heavily guarded because it belongs directly to the Duke of Gallo, and high walls have been built on all sides.

Coming to the gate of the barracks, Robert said to Nangong Yu: "Luca, you wait for me here for a while, I'll go inside and say something, arrange a place for you to live, I'm a knight, you should be my servant first." From now on, you will be at my command. ”

Nangong Yu nodded, turned over and dismounted, Robert rode his horse, and walked quickly towards the barracks.

Looking at Robert's distant figure, Nangong Yu turned his gaze to the gate of this military camp, the gate is about 20 meters wide and more than 10 meters high, it is made of solid rock, and there are two huge iron doors inside the door, which are dark and full of majesty.

Nangong Yu unconsciously came to the door, the winding path inside the door was secluded, a big road led straight to the inside, and there were soldiers on both sides of the road.

Suddenly, a spear stopped in front of Nangong Yu, the tip of the spear flashed with cold light, and a voice came: "Stop, what are you doing?"
