The First Arrival Chapter 4: The Wrath of Harauth
Yi Ye has been in this world for a week, and he is trying to adapt to life here, and the only remaining memories of the past have begun to dissipate.
The news of King Haraus's victory spread throughout the kingdom of Swadia for a while, and the whole kingdom became active, and the craftsmen who had been working hard for several days stopped for a while, sat in the street and drank tea leisurely, and the hunters and farmers who had returned from hunting also smiled, because just in the last few days, King Haraus held a banquet in Parabun, which caused the prices of all kinds of meat, vegetables, spices, and oils in the market to rise to a higher level. The banquet was attended by many counts, barons, and nobles, so King Haraus gave an order in advance, "Exterminate the robbers around Paravon." ”
Yi Ye's team has a job again.
Although Yi Ye has been training his recruits, many things can only be experienced in actual combat, so it is easy to go from recruit to militia, but it is not easy to get to regular infantry.
Since the Swadia Kingdom is rich in cavalry, those good horses have always been monopolized by the nobility, and people from commoner backgrounds like Yi Ye can't buy them at all, of course, if you have a large number of dinars in your hands, it's another matter, and no one will have too many things. Yi Ye was not picky either, and spent 120 dinars and extra weapons and equipment to buy an old traveling horse, as well as some dry food. It's ready to go.
However, Yi Ye's team patrolled outside for a long time, and they didn't find any traces, because there were too many bounty hunters on this mission, and the robbers didn't see them, but the bounty hunters' team saw three or two teams. Moreover, when he went out on horseback, Yi Ye also ran into trouble.
He doesn't know how to ride a horse.
Although this is a docile old traveling horse, riding Yi Ye is like a motion sickness, and he has no choice but to temporarily give the horse to Fatis, who can ride a horse. This made Fatis happy for a while.
When I returned to Parabun again, it was already evening, and because of the personal supervision of some minor nobles, the soldiers who were guarding the city did not dare to embarrass those who entered the city anymore. Yi Ye was also exempted from this bullshit tax because of this.
As soon as he walked into the tavern, a familiar and unfamiliar face appeared in a corner, it was a terrifyingly black face, and a longbow was carried on his back, and this inexplicable familiarity came again.
"Hello lady, you seem to have something on your mind."
"Are you here to talk? If you want to touch me, you'd better be careful, because I'll stick my sword in your throat before then. ”
"No, no, dear lady, you misunderstood, I just saw you sitting alone in the corner, thinking something had happened." Yi Ye said, and then drank all the wine in his hand.
"I'll punish myself first."
Yi Ye didn't know these cumbersome rules before, but this was taught and learned by the experienced Fatis.
"Have you heard about the extermination of Kazakhstan by another group of robbers?"
"Of course."
"I am one of them, I am good friends with the captain Zhuzi, he is a down-to-earth person, he used to serve in the army, when he was about to become an officer, he was framed by another candidate, and he had no choice but to go away to become a robber, but he made a living by exterminating other robbers, and never did anything bad. As for me, there was nothing to say, I was married by my greedy father to someone I was not interested in, and then I ran away, after which I joined the ranks of the bamboo. ”
"Yes, then why are you here alone?" Yi Ye also raised his doubts.
"After exterminating the Kazakh robbers, we rushed to the vicinity of Parabun overnight to collect the bounty, and after they sent me to collect the bounty, the hateful robbers became greedy, killed the bamboo, and took the bounty from my hand and fled."
"I probably understand, ma'am, that my team is short of men, and if you don't dislike it, I'm willing to hire you at a salary of 2 dinars a week, and cover all your daily expenses, and of course, you have the right to keep the spoils. How is it? ”
"Your offer is tempting, sir." Desaivi changed his attitude slightly.
"But I'm still saying that, if you want to have any bad intentions against me, I won't let you go."
"Of course, I promise, dear lady, that you are welcome to join."
The banquet of the kingdom was held as scheduled, except for a few counts led by the Count of Sweden, the other counts and nobles gathered in this town, and the vast city walls were full of soldiers at this time, but the most shocking thing was the nearly a thousand knights, who were neatly arranged in a phalanx, and entered the town with neat and powerful steps, and the solemn atmosphere made people want to surrender.
The banquet is the best way to get through the relationship on this continent, and it is also the best existence to find a wife. But the minimum entry requirement is to be a nobleman, and ordinary people like Yi Ye are not eligible to enter, but if you win the championship of this athletic conference, no matter what your background, you will have a chance to participate in the banquet. The tournament will be held the day after the banquet, which is tomorrow.
Yi Ye hurriedly registered himself, although he definitely couldn't beat these old generals now, but he still wanted to improve himself, and of course he also signed up for Fatis. Desaiwei said that he was not interested, and Yi Ye also wanted Mu Wen to try, but this kid still didn't get rid of his timid nature, and he refused when he said that he didn't dare to make a fool of himself in front of everyone. The other soldiers were also peasants, and they did not know any fighting skills, so they naturally did not dare to participate, and this was only on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was a matter of cost, and the registration fee was 5 dinars, which was more than a month's salary for them.
Half an hour before the game, Yi Ye was scared into a cold sweat all over his body, because he was playing against an earl, his name was Craggs.
Kraggs, he is the pillar of the kingdom, Harlaus's right and left hand, holding the important position of Suno, which is the most unoffending person in this kingdom except for Haraus.
This game is destined for Yi Ye to lose.
Not only the combat skills, but also the strength background, if Yi Ye wins this game, there is no doubt that he will get a high honor, but he will definitely receive many assassins' daggers, as well as the nobles' targeting. You must know that in this continent, it is easier for nobles to kill a person than a pig. The essence of the athletic conference was the entertainment of the aristocracy, and the self-righteous commoners were only full of numbers. But even this simple truth has not been comprehended by many hot-blooded young people.
Yi Ye also thought about abstaining directly, but considering that this would greatly reduce his reputation, few people might be willing to follow him in the future.
Yi Ye still stubbornly went on it.
But the reality slapped Yi Ye in the mouth, half an hour ago he was still delusional about how to be targeted after defeating the earl, half an hour later, with the cheers around him, Yi Ye covered his stomach and lay on the ground unable to move. If this is a real battle, I'm afraid he has already lost his breath at this time.
This contest is a two-handed sword. At the beginning of the game, Count Craggs rushed over and quickly attacked Yi Ye's left side, although Fatis taught him how to block, but after blocking this blow, Yi Ye's hands were numb, and then the Count touched Yi Ye's abdomen with the hilt of his sword at great speed, and the game was over, less than 30 seconds.
Yi Ye was defeated and returned to the team, and the soldiers had no complaints about Yi Ye, and said words of comfort to him, after all, the opponent was the old general who had been fighting for 30 years.
"I've heard that he can reach a draw with the Nord royal guards in the north." Fatis praised.
Fatis made it to the top 16 on his own, but after that incident, Fatis neglected to train, drank all day, and was defeated by a sergeant, winning the thirteenth place and receiving a consolation prize of twenty dinars.
Everything went according to King Haraus's intentions, until the arrival of the robbers from the east.
According to reports from the area around Dehrim, Nayan Agur of the Kugit Khanate led two groups of nobles to sack the surrounding villages and caravans.
This made King Haraus furious, because of the perennial war between the kingdom of Swadia and the kingdom of Rhodok, he did not want to start the war again, and the rampant ringing horses of the Kugit Khanate made Saiga Khan very troubled, in order to exterminate these ringing horses, Saiga Khan had not waged war for two years, which made his militant faction extremely dissatisfied, such as Aguer. The loot of the battle against Hibiki was far less valuable than the ransom paid to rob the wealthy villages, caravans, and nobles.
"Declare my order to declare war on the Kugit Khanate." Haraus said angrily.
