The crowd is about to arrive at the battlefield on the outskirts of Verona.

Riding on her horse, Eleanor couldn't help but recall Asker's words again:

"Purely from the blood of the crusaders, the more powerful laws are 'honor' condensed from 'justice', 'protection' condensed from 'tenacity', and the eponymous law of 'will', and of course, 'war'."

"If you are going to continue to learn the Indomitable Sword, then choosing the Law of Will is the best for you. If you don't plan to follow the path of transcendent swordsmanship, then you can condense any law. ”

Really, isn't that an implication that I choose the law of will?

After condensing the Crusader bloodline, Eleanor's physique and will were strengthened.

For example, if Sidlifa's Lv.10 is a simple and brutal attack and defense, and Peggy's Lv.10 is enhanced health and physical immunity, then Eleanor's Lv.10 is full stat bonus and greatly increases the maximum health.

Whether it's explosiveness, control, stamina and reaction speed, or intelligence and mental power, all of them are strengthened in a balanced manner.

Even the figure has changed. Eleanor's original height was 172cm, and when she was promoted to Lv.10, she also increased to 178cm, and the extra 6cm seemed to be added to her legs, so that now she has a pair of long legs, and even the original trouser legs have been pulled up from the ankles.

Aske was stunned until Nora sped forward on horseback and blocked his view.

"What are you looking at?" The girl said in a certain gentle tone.

For some reason, Asker suddenly felt a little chilled, but he was originally open-minded, and immediately said truthfully:

"This crusade bloodline, it stands to reason that it should be optimized, but why don't I remember the effect of having long legs?"

"Is it bad for girls to have long legs?" Nora wondered.

"Are you good for long legs?" Aske was also puzzled, the longer the legs became, the higher the center of gravity of the body became unstable. If you change to the leg length of the agility system, you can run faster, so what's the use of MT leg length?

Eleanor listened to the discussion between the two of them, and sighed in her heart, knowing that they had not communicated to the same channel at all.

The crowd rode all the way to the outskirts of the battlefield of Verona, only to see that the former minefield had been transformed into a staggered trench in a few days.

Obviously, the Venis demigods, who arrived a few days in advance, had already cleared all the mines (along with the dirt) in the dirt, and dug trenches by the way, which was worthy of being called a "black hole excavator" with high efficiency.

As for the purpose of digging trenches, listening to the gunfire ahead is already obvious.

The Holy See's army of Templars has arrived.

All the way to the gate of the emperor's coalition camp, after confirming their identities, everyone dismounted and rushed to the command tent.

In the tent, the emperor and the dukes were discussing the follow-up battle plan. So the people of the Blue Sword could only wait outside, and half an hour later, the dukes came out of the tent.

The Duke of Bavaria walked in the middle, saw his daughter and his fellow mercenaries standing next to him, frowned slightly, and walked over.

"Your Majesty's mood is very impatient." He didn't show any reproach or surprise, as if he had expected these young men to choose to come back, but just lightly explained to Asker, "When you finish your debriefing, you may be sent to the battlefield immediately." ”

"What is the form of the battlefield?" Asker asked in a low voice.

"The Templars are here, what do you say?" The Duke of Bavaria replied, patting him on the shoulder.

Asker knew what the Duke meant (to protect my daughter), so he nodded knowingly.

The Duke gave Eleanor one last look, who exclaimed with some weakness:

"Father's ......"

However, the Duke of Bavaria did not speak and left.

The Emperor's tent lifted the curtains, and the Saxon chamberlains beckoned them in.

followed by the search of the blade warrior, and the emperor actually had a female blade warrior by his side, specifically for the girls. After checking and confirming that there was no problem, everyone was led to the emperor.

This was the first time that the girls, except Asker, had seen His Majesty Emperor Otto of the Empire, and everyone lowered their heads and only quietly glanced at the honorable person in front of them with their peripheral vision.

"You're doing a great job." Emperor Otto sighed, "Unfortunately, it's still a little late, but it's not your responsibility...... As for the payment, Albrecht has already given it to you, right? ”

Didn't that Albrecht all come back early? Wouldn't you just ask him?

Asker was also speechless at the emperor's handling of the fight, and pretended to comply: "I have already gotten it." ”

"Good." His Majesty the Emperor bowed slightly, and Asker keenly noticed that the old man's complexion was obviously much worse than before his group went to Venis, probably because the recent war situation had put too much pressure on him.

"After His Excellency San Solvino cleared the minefield, the Anti-Magic Magnetic Field was activated in the city of Verona, and a large number of Templars rushed out of the city." The Emperor sneered contemptuously, "Obviously, if I had mislistened to the Dukes' advice and rashly allowed the two dragons to attack the city from the sky, I am afraid that I would have been ambushed and set on fire by the Templars in the city. ”

"Your Majesty is of great wisdom." Asker complimented.

it! The head of the regiment will actually pat himself on the back! The girls in the back lowered their heads and complained incredulously in their hearts.

"Now that the enemy's ambush plan has been revealed, we can only put up a position to openly confront me, which means that a tough battle is inevitable." The Emperor waved his hand impatiently, "Asker! I know that your mercenary group is full of girls, but all of them are senior transcendents, don't I? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty's Holy Eyes are burning." Asker complimented again.

No, I'm going to throw up! Mia was shaking so hard behind her that she couldn't hold back her laughter. Medea calmly glanced back.

Jade Wang's manipulation obliterates Mia's urge to laugh wildly—a clever technique she learned from the demigods of the Pure-Blood Order.

"Very well, I've always been generous." The Emperor nodded, "The previous deal has proven it. ”

Yes, the elders of Eleanor, Medea, and Sheila give them all Class IV potions or materials, and your emperor will give you a bottle of Class III potions, and let other families spend it for you, which is really generous.

"I'm going to continue to hire you next." The Emperor was unaware of the other party's insults, and continued, "As long as I capture the city of Verona, I will naturally have a reward to match. ”

"Okay." Asker said.

"I haven't said how much the task will pay." The Emperor was a little surprised.

"Could it be that Your Majesty will still treat our small mercenary group badly in terms of price?" Asker said with a smile.

Then Emperor Otto laughed too, and his praise seemed extremely useful: "Of course, there is no one in this world who is more trustworthy than me. ”

"Asker, you're a smart man, and I'm no longer being hypocritical with you. As long as you take the city of Verona, I will make your offer. ”

"I can trust Your Majesty." Aske was not hypocritical, and said directly.

Of course, the emperor's words are just talking, in case Asker really offers a sky-high price, this Emperor Otto will definitely turn his face.

So the two people who knew each other and had a ghost in their hearts knew each other like a gentleman and a minister, and finalized the follow-up employment agreement.

After the people of the Azure Sword left, the emperor put away a smile on his face, waved slightly, and turned out of the side room to the attendant officer.

"Do you think this Azure Sword mercenary group is too happy to promise me?" The Emperor asked with a frown.

The attendant knew that His Majesty had made a mistake with his old man, and was inexplicably suspicious of others, and with a wry smile in his mind, he explained:

"Your Majesty, although this blue sword is a mercenary group, it has always been a business for nobles. For example, Olympia, Sparta, Weissbach, Sauron, and so on. ”

"It's a strange thing to pay a deposit in advance like an ordinary small mercenary group."

"Hmm." The emperor also had to admit that what his nephew said made some sense, "Then let's look at their performance first." ”
