Turning her head, the young female lord wanted to see who was so ignorant, and when she saw that it was the young soldier who had just dueled with Scarface walked out, her big beautiful eyes couldn't help but show a hint of surprise. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was Yang Shou who spoke, and he came to Caroline's approach and bowed, then looked up to observe the future female sword master.

Beautiful eyes, a fair nose and small and lovely ears, cold armor could not hide her white and slender neck, and the soft hair with sideburns blown by the breeze.

At that time, this army was besieged in the Great Rift Valley, with an orc army in front and an undead ambush in the back, and the leading Viscount Thomas escaped, but Caroline, who could have broken out of the encirclement, chose to stay and fight to the death with thousands of soldiers, so that there was a plot that made people sigh later.

Caroline frowned.

She didn't like the young man's gaze a little with a hint of surprise, a hint of scrutiny, and some indescribable complications.

Yang Shou also realized that he was a little abrupt, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, I made a bet with him before the duel, and the bet was his sword. ”

At present, there was silence around him, and every word Yang Shou said was really heard by all the sergeants. Seeing that everyone was brushing over, Scarface couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, ashamed and annoyed, staring at Yang Shou's gaze as if he wanted to eat people.

A soldier had already told Caroline the whole story, and when she saw Scarface's expression at this time, the female lord couldn't guess the reason for the incident, so Caroline frowned and waved her hand, and immediately a sergeant unloaded Scarface's saber and handed it to Yang Shou.

Seeing his saber being held in Yang Shou's hand, and then seeing the smug smile on the other party's face, Scarface was furious. It's just that he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Caroline, so he could only stare at Yang Shou coldly,

However, except for a few pro-guards, most of the others looked at Yang Shou with eyes full of approval and appreciation.

Accept the challenge of the pro-guard as a new soldier and win in the end! As long as this sword was hung on Yang Shou's waist for a day, the heads of those people in the pro-guard regiment would not be able to lift up.

It's refreshing to think about!

"Now that I've seen it, I'm just going to give you the military badge,"

Caroline seemed to remember something, untied a sheepskin bag from her waist, took out two red and black military medals, and smiled: "I am a lieutenant general in the army, and I am not qualified to award military medals, so I can only replace them with my personal medals." ”

When everyone around heard this, they raised their heads with their chests straightened, their faces solemn, and their eyes were full of envy when they looked at Yang Shou and the others.

It was clear to everyone that Thomas was only the nominal commander of the army. And Caroline's strength is as famous as her beauty, and her personal reward is something that these old and young masters in the army dream of, and it is much better than taking a few painless rewards from Thomas.

The female lord drew her long sword and stood it in front of her, her face calm: "Because of the outstanding performance of the two of you, countless comrades-in-arms have turned the corner and saved them from plotting, so I bestow on you the Rose Military Medal, and may this glory always be with you." ”

Bill and Yang Shou glanced at each other, straightened their helmets, got down on one knee, and took the military badge from Caroline's hand.

On the front of the badge is a blooming rose, with Caroline's name written underneath, and on the back is Caroline's title: "Lord of Cedar Town, Baroness, Disciple of Duke." ”

Duke is a Juggernaut, one of the strongest people on the Miracle Continent, belonging to the Silver Knights. Being selected as an apprentice by Duke can also confirm Caroline's high talent from the side.

There was a fragrance wafting from the tip of his nose, I don't know if it was from Caroline's body, or if the military badge was tainted with the scent of a female lord. Yang Shou glanced to the side, and saw that Old Bill was excited, and felt funny in his heart.

First, he didn't have a sense of belonging to the Metal Empire, and second, he saw Caroline as a girl with a tragic fate in his heart, so it was difficult to give birth to any exciting sense of honor at the moment.

The brief ceremony was in line with Caroline's character, and after glancing at Yang Shou again, the female lord left with the people.

The people of the pro-guard team all had gloomy faces, and their eyes were extremely cold when they looked at Yang Shou, and the hostility in them was fully revealed.

"Oops, why are you looking at me like this, it's so scary~ My pure little heart is going to be scared to death by you." Yang Shou patted his chest and smiled at the other party, but the words he said almost made people vomit blood.

The other party didn't say anything, looked at it meaningfully, and turned away with Scarface.

Everyone in the recruit team cheered and returned to the camp with Captain Bill, Yang Shou and others.

As soon as they entered the tent, several people who knew each other immediately hula over and surrounded Yang Shou, and asked nonsense, which was very lively.

"Good boy, hide it from us for so long~"

"Come on, show me that sword first, I heard that this sword was passed on to him by Scarface's father, and it's usually a precious ......"

"Yang Shou took out the military badge and took a look, I heard that this was made by Lord Caroline himself, and it was treated as a holy relic in Cedar Town!"

……

Yang Shou was almost overwhelmed by everyone's exuberant curiosity, and smiled silently. In the end, it was Captain Bill who came over to relieve Yang Shou, drove the people who were burning with gossip aside, and then slapped Yang Shou directly on his vest, slapping Yang Shou to a stumbling side.

"Good boy, I gave our recruit battalion commander a face today, haha~"

Bill was in a good mood and grinned, "Confess, who did you learn these swordsmanship?" ”

Yang Shou coughed twice deliberately, and then hehele said: "Of course, the captain is your excellent skills, and you taught it well just now~"

Hearing this, Bill turned his face flat, blew his beard and glared, "The kid is still pretending to be with me?" Although your basic skills are a little worse just now, they are real cross swordsmanship, and if you don't have a famous expert's guidance, you're really a hell! ”

Yang Shou sighed secretly when he heard this, and said in his heart that he was worthy of being a veteran, and he could see his depth at a glance.

The same set of swordsmanship, used by different people, must have subtle differences in style. The swordsmanship taught by the system is definitely the most authentic, so in the eyes of onlookers, the most reasonable speculation is naturally that there is a master of swordsmanship.

Regarding the explanation of this matter, Yang Shou has already drafted it.

In his memory, Yang Shou's family was poor, and there were no big names in the family. However, from his parents' words, he learned that his grandfather seemed to have joined the army, experienced the Second Orc War and the rebellion of the three lords on the eastern border, and had a lot of combat experience.

With such a grandfather-level character with a rich resume, it makes sense to learn some basic swordsmanship or something.

After listening to Yang Shou's description, the people around him immediately stood in awe, and Bill's fierce and rough face showed an expression of admiration, and said solemnly: "That's a senior, it is said that in a few battles with the orcs back then, less than one of the soldiers survived, and if you can survive those wars, your grandfather must be a great character." ”

Amazing characters?

Yang Shou didn't know anything about it, and in his memory, this grandfather only stayed at home for a few years when he was very young, and then he was never heard from, and he hadn't seen him for many years.

"Okay, you must be tired today, have a good rest, and tomorrow you have to get up early and leave the camp and hurry." Bill patted Yang Shou on the shoulder and said.

Yang Shou scratched his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm in good spirits now, and I still want to apply to be on duty tonight~"

"Huh?"

Bill looked at Yang Shou in surprise and said solemnly, "Are you sure?" May I remind you that being on duty at night is not child's play. Staying up late and working hard, not to mention, in case there is any omission, but it will be dealt with by military regulations. ”

"Just exercise it, captain, don't worry, I'm sure I won't blink my eyes, and I'll definitely do my duty!"

Yang Shou said solemnly, but Bill didn't dissuade him anymore, and there was a hint of relief in his eyes. The recruits are eager to rest every day, only Yang Shou took the initiative to request a mission, this recruit has a future.

Seeing Bill nodding, Yang Shou grinned.

Time is of the essence, and some things can only be done under the cover of night, and tonight is a crucial night.

After everyone dispersed, Yang Shoucai sat on the bunk, having time to observe the weapon he had just won.

It was a broadsword, shorter and wider than the previous novice sword, and had a delicate workmanship. The gauntlets are shaped like two wolf heads with open mouths and fangs, which were commonly used by the lower nobles of the empire.

It can be seen that Scarface often takes care of this sword, and the body and hilt of the sword are polished delicately and shiny, and there is no trace of rust in sight. Refined Broadsword (Medium, Slash)

outstanding

Sharp: D+

Durability: 12/12

Weight: 2.8kg

Equipment Requirements: Strength 5

Crafted: +1 damage, +2 Piercing to Slash animation

"Engraved with a worn family crest"

……

The equipment in The Witcher is divided into Normal (Whiteboard), Excellent (Green), Finest (Blue), Epic (Purple), Relic (Orange), and Artifact.

The stats attached to this broadsword are very targeted, and the +2 armor piercing is lethal to many ordinary armor. For example, the skeleton he encountered before, if Bill was holding this sword at the time, it would not be an exaggeration to cut it in two.

It seems that there will be no need to worry about weapons for the next period of time.

The undead in the wilderness did not make any further moves, and the tension in the army eased slightly, and the first night in the Great Rift Valley was soon ushered in.

But Yang Shou is not as optimistic as others.

This undead raid is just a small test, and more undead armies will be attacking the camp starting tonight, for days on end.

Necro creatures don't need to sleep, so after a few days, the army will be exhausted until the Great Battle at the Three Forks of the Rim Valley.

I know that there is a sea of swords and fires in front of me, but I can't tell others, this feeling is really uncomfortable. And in addition to this, Yang Shou also has more important things to consider.

The Empire of Steel is no longer the First Empire of a hundred years ago, and the corrupt bureaucracy has long since hollowed out the country, and the continuous natural and man-made disasters and exorbitant taxes have made people miserable.

Yang Shou's grandfather participated in the war to quell the rebellion of the three lords, and on the surface it looked like a battle to defend the sovereignty of the empire, but the inside story was shocking.

The three lords were regarded as a thorn in the side of the other lords just because they slightly reduced the tax ratio of their territory, and they united to ask the emperor to send troops to fight.

Because the taxes are low, people can live a little easier, and people, commerce, trade with neighboring countries, and so on will gather here. Cutting off their own financial routes, those imperial nobles naturally can't tolerate it.

In the last life in the game, Yang Shou also learned the inside story here by chance, when many civilians gathered under the command of the three lords to fight against the so-called "king's army" who came to quell the rebellion.

In the aftermath of the war, there were wails and corpses, and the Empire's external narrative was a simple four words: mob rebellion.

In Yang Shou's vague memory, his grandfather, who returned home after the war, was depressed for a long time, and he didn't know if it had anything to do with it.

The country has embarked on a desperate path of self-destruction, and there is no chance of recovery, Yang Shou has no feelings for the Empire of Steel, and he does not have the leisure to save it.

But now that he's in the barracks, can he really pat his ass and leave?

Thinking of these flesh-and-blood soldiers around him, and thinking of Caroline, who would suffer misery in the future, Yang Shou habitually touched his chin and narrowed his eyes.
