Chapter XI. Close the door

"Luo... Lord Ross..."

Edward slumped at Hawke's feet, dizzy for more than ten seconds before waking up slightly, opened his already red and swollen eyes, revealing a gap to see Hawke and Rose above, and couldn't help but burst out with anger and resentment, tremblingly stretched out his hand and pointed at Hawke, and scolded inarticulately: "This... This... This damn it... The township... Hillbilly..."

Anger and pain prevented him from finishing his sentence, but poor little Edward obviously didn't analyze the situation well, or his father's name as the treasurer of Viscount Lane didn't really have much deterrent power in the eyes of Rose, a true would-be knight of war with a vindictive seed.

"Enough, Edward, you're really disappointing me."

Looking at Edward who was struggling to get up on the ground, a trace of disdain flashed in Rose's eyes, especially looking at the outfit he was wearing, he slowly walked over and stretched out his big hand to lift him up, making him stand there loosely, staring at Edward's eyes, and said lightly: "I have seen the beginning and passage of things." ”

Without waiting for Edward and Hawke to say anything, his burly body walked to the side, and came to the practice knight's rapier that was stuck diagonally in the ground, and reached out to pull it up and hold it in his hand, the blade glistening in the sunlight.

"Practice the knight's rappier... Without a doubt, a really good sword. ”

Rose held the hilt of the sword with one hand, and gently wiped the dirt on the blade with his hand, with some strange emotion in his eyes, he turned his head to look at Edward, walked over and gently inserted the practice knight's thin sword back into the scabbard at his waist, the movement was precise and gentle, but he bent down to stare into his Edward's eyes, and said softly: "Losing the shield means that you have left behind the concern in your heart, and losing your sword means that you have completely abandoned your courage as a warrior!" ”

"Luo... Lord Ross... No... No, no... That's not true... No, no..."

Edward's eyes widened suddenly, watching Rose in front of him turn his head and walk to the side directly, a certain horror suddenly flashed in his heart, he had already guessed something, and couldn't help but beg for mercy with a trembling voice: "Please... Please let me stay..."

Even the militia training has the idea of elimination, the entire Purple Tulip Principality, and even the soldiers of the entire Continent of the Gods, must start from the lowest level of militia in order to become a regular army, step by step to become a legion infantry, which is a certain kind of soldier's class, and the best way to improve their status and social status.

Not every soldier can comprehend the seeds of fighting qi and become an enviable knight, nor is it simply to improve the quality of **, but also to hone his will between life and death, as well as the talent to comprehend that mysterious fighting energy. And if it doesn't work, then you can only become a third-level warrior, and to become those squires, landlords and the like, you need to use your life and blood to fight to the death on the battlefield in exchange!

Even Edward's father, as the treasurer of Viscount Lane, is a gentleman who can be called a little famous in Black Lake City, but this kind of gentleman is only slightly more noble than ordinary people, not even a quasi-nobleman, what is there to talk about hereditary?!

This is also the reason why he came to let Edward enter the militia training camp for the sake of Edward's future, if he can become a militiaman, and then through his status and status as the treasurer of Viscount Lane, let Edward become a regular army, or even a commander with the status of a squire, there is not much problem.

"For Viscount Lane's sake, I allow you to stay."

Rose was silent for three or four seconds, and still said without looking back, after all, Edward's father was the treasurer of Viscount Lane, even if he rejected Edward, his father still had the ability to make him a regular army, and it was far better to give Edward, an arrogant little guy, a warning than to eliminate the militia and set up two enemies.

"Thank you very much."

Edward forced himself to stand, his heart was still full of fear, especially when he lowered his head and looked at Hawke, that fear instantly turned into deeper resentment and resentment, he clenched his hand tightly, obviously seeing Hawke as some kind of mortal enemy, even deep hatred, had been firmly stationed in his heart.

"Shit." However, Hawke didn't have any thoughts, especially in the face of this Edward behind him, he pursed the corners of his lips with disdain, took a step back, stood with Pete and John, looked up with the other teenagers, and looked at Lord Rose who walked up to the high platform.

With the game system, Hawke is not afraid of this Edward, and in the short battle just now, the increase from the game system has completely revealed a certain power, especially the feeling of easily killing Edward, which simply fascinates him!

"It's... What a power from the game! ”

Hawke sighed slightly in his heart, he still has two talent points, even if he doesn't have a talent about shields, the power of shield strikes is already beyond ordinary people, and even if he holds his infantry short sword, Edward may have been slashed through his throat by the sharp blade when he was slapped by the shield strike, or he was directly inserted into the heart!

The kind of body that has been strengthened by the three major bloodlines and the blood of Alduin is not comparable to these teenagers, if it is counted in this world, it can be compared to those who have all kinds of powerful life bloodlines, and even the bloodlines of gods!

"So this time you are the ones who came to conduct militia training?"

Rose stood on a two-meter-high civil platform, the noon sun shone on his burly body, making his body even stronger in the sun, he looked down at the children in front of him, raised his hand solemnly and shouted towards the city gate: "The time has come, close the city gate immediately!" ”

Not far away, the militia immediately walked over and pushed the thick wooden city gate, with the sound of "clang", the two wooden city gates of more than 20 centimeters instantly closed together without leaving a single gap, and they could no longer see the outside scenery.

The wooden door is extremely heavy, made of strong wood, neatly stacked in rows, and the iron nails the thickness of the index finger are nailed to it, and a large number of iron chains are tied to three thick and hard horizontal logs and locked behind them, I am afraid that even if it is directly hit with a trebuchet, stones less than thirty kilograms cannot be effectively destroyed!

"If it's too late, then I'm afraid we're going to lose the opportunity this time."

John glanced at the closed wooden door from behind, couldn't help but pout, and sighed softly: "If you become a militia at the age of thirteen, I'm afraid it will be much easier than a real selection at the age of sixteen three years later, and become a real regular army." ”

I started training at the age of thirteen, and became a real militia at the age of sixteen three years later, and then after two years of training and tasks, then passing the assessment of the regular army at the age of eighteen is almost an ironclad thing, even if there is a small mistake, it does not affect the assessment, after all, after five years of training and tasks, I can already be called a veteran.

On the battlefield, the value of a veteran is much higher than the value of three recruits, and Minertown is not a peaceful place, beyond the hill of the Three Dukes more than ten miles away from the town, there are countless enemies!

Although the troops stationed in the Hill of the Three Dukes can strictly resist large-scale attacks, they cannot be held at all times in the face of small-scale enemies such as goblin robbers, human thugs, horse thieves, etc., and the veins and caves that extend into the interior of the mountain are also born from time to time because of the rich dark element, and some low-level dark undead creatures are born, so that the regular army and militia cannot stop for a moment.

"It should all be here, after all, this is a big deal!"

Turning his head slightly to look at the more than fifty teenagers behind him, each holding his own weapon, Hawke brought a confident smile on the corner of his mouth, looked at Rose on the high platform with his head held high, and said softly to Pete and John beside him by the way: "Nothing can stop us, I firmly believe that we are strong!" ”

John and Pete were also slightly stunned, and gently glanced at Edward, who was standing in the corner with a blue nose and swollen face, and the corners of his mouth also had some kind of strange twitches, shaking their heads, the two still did not answer, after all, like Hawke dared to beat the son of a gentleman, and the son of a financial official who held real power, even in the historical records of Minerstown, it is rare, and it can even be called none.

No one can understand the revolutionary mentality brought about by the soul of a republic, although Hawke has lived in this world for thirteen years, although he has been assimilated a lot, but in some hearts, he is still the unruly second generation of the army in his previous life!
