Chapter 20: The Tragedy of Gerry
What Hu Bin didn't expect was that this young man actually found him, looking at his respectful appearance, Hu Bin was speechless, he came to the banquet and put on a noble robe, or when he entered the world, he probably thought that at this stage, there was no number that could talk and laugh on an equal footing with the lords, and mistakenly thought that Hu Bin was also a native of the world. Hu Bin thought quietly, a stream of bad water gushed out, since you sent it to the door yourself, then I will slaughter you fiercely, although the world does not allow the opponents to kill each other, but there are also camps, Hu Bin also wants to knock on the side to see if there are other confrontation numbers in the Kugit camp.
"I'm Lord Reed from Salander, I haven't seen this noble emblem, may I ask who your family is?" Hu Bin flickered in the tone of the aboriginal lord.
"Ah, my lord, I am a descendant of the **family**, is there anything I can do for you?" Space seems to limit the initial information of numberers who have not become lieges, but it is considered a protection. Hu Bin lowered his head and pretended to hesitate, but in fact, he was happy in his heart, this stupid child was going to be a tragedy.
"Well, my horse died in battle with the bandits, can you get me a war horse, and I will give you 1,000 dinars as a reward, and praise you for your abilities in front of the Sultan of Saiga."
"No problem, my lord, I'll go and get you a war horse."
Hu Bin laughed crazy, the price of a war horse in the market is as low as 1700 dinars, it seems that this stupid boy has done a lot of rent-collecting tasks, and his family is quite rich, and he is out of sight, but he is still quite promising for his favorability.
Peng Chao's first world was a primitive society, and he led the primitive people of his tribe to easily defeat a group of hostile primitive forces that ventured into the ambush by relying on the improvised traps and weapons he made. To be on the safe side, he didn't do side quests to kill saber-toothed tigers and mammoths, trained his people with all his might, and attacked another group of primitive lair that went hunting, and finally killed two opponents of the same identity.
After receiving a lot of ratings, he brought back a lot of precious furs and minerals, as well as a primitive clan warrior shack, which could train clan warriors, and his basic attributes, especially his strength and agility, were extremely strong, but he was very clumsy in the use of weapons. After Peng Chao came to the warband world, he chose to sell his fur to get a large sum of money, and equipped his three clan warriors with depreciated two-handed weapons, and barely relied on the recruited recruits to harvest the scattered small ringing horse regiments. Having played the game, he knew that his army was not enough to fight big battles to gain prestige, so he came up with the idea of having the same effect of lord favorability, and making some money by the way.
Luckily, because the lords were preparing for war, he received the task of collecting rent several times in a row, and the clan samurai who relied on his basic constitution to eat even with wooden sticks defeated the tax-resistant peasants. Peng Chao, who obtained a large amount of dinars, gathered people everywhere, and when he encountered the harassment team led by the former marshal of Salander in the southeast, he reported their movements in time, and won the favor of Saiga Khan, and since then he has entered the aristocratic circle of Kugit, and has done some small tasks to strive to become a mercenary of the powerful country of Kugit, but he is still a little far away from the fiefdom lord.
When I handed over the task today, I was lucky to meet a banquet in the capital, most of the lords were present, Peng Chao received a task with rent collection, and he was in a good mood and received a task that excited him from the messenger from Salander, although the war horse was far more than 1000 dinars, but the lords often issued some 30 dinars to run half the country to send letters, such a task is just a loss of money, but it is not a loss, Peng Chao, who is still a little bit of a family, gave up the plan to update a piece of armor for himself, I decided to go to the market and buy a war horse, maybe I can become the leader of the Kugit mercenaries today. Thinking about the few people in the same camp who were still escorting businessmen to make money by selling horses and selling garbage a few days ago, Peng Chao had a sense of superiority in his heart, and he was indeed a genius.
Hu Bin got the war horse he had always wanted, and he was in a good mood, maybe it was a different camp, and the opponents on the opposite side didn't care even if they didn't receive an increase in favorability. Hu Bin, who felt a little guilty in his heart, mentioned the matter of the leather armored youth to Saiga Khan, but he didn't expect that he really became a mercenary and got a plunder order, but a small half of the looting proceeds should be nationalized.
Hu Bin accepted the thanks of the leather armor man with a smile and was also prompted to complete the custom task, gaining 20 reputation points and 300 experience. Hu Bin, who was full of emotion, inadvertently asked the new mercenary leader about the information about the opponents of the Kugit camp, and got that at least 6 numbered people entered the Kugit camp, but the best one in front of him was the one in front of him, thinking about his own camp, Hu Bin decided to ask Su Jia after returning to China. In fact, Hu Bin didn't know that few people would choose the Salander camp with weak combat effectiveness in the early stage of the troops, and when Hu Bin chose the camp, in order to balance the strength of various countries, in fact, there was no other numberer assigned to the Salander camp. However, there are pros and cons, although Hu Bin has no natural allies single-handedly, but it also avoids the competition and consumption of this camp, and it is also possible to form alliances between countries, and there will be quite a lot of numberers who want to form an alliance with Hu Bin's big thick legs.
Hu Bin, who had received a lot of useful information, used most of the remaining dinars to buy up the only three military horses that the horse dealer had for the three guards, and since then Hu Bin has completed all the armored horses of the stormtrooping troops, and the priest's horse mainly requires that he can escape quickly, and Hu Bin is reluctant to charge him. Hu Bin, whose wallet has shrunk again, sighed that the money was not spent, and was ready to make a big profit at tomorrow's athletic conference.
The morning air was fresh, the stands in the arena were filled with citizens, the ladies of the nobility dressed up in their best positions, and the young girls among the commoners were desperately cheering for their warriors. Nearby professional gladiators, wandering warriors from all over the world who signed up to participate, and nobles who wanted to show their prowess gathered in the center of the field, and Saiga Khan also stood in the crowd dressed in a competitive suit and listened to his affairs officer explain the identity of the contestants.
In the arena, no matter what status you have, as long as you show a high level of martial arts to defeat your opponent, you can win the cheers of the audience, and the champion can get high praise (prestige). There was a precedent for a commoner samurai to win a competitive tournament and be taken in by a certain family as a son-in-law, so you can see how much importance the arena was taken by the samurai.
Hu Bin's entourage did not participate, although he turned on the energy attack, but he also didn't want to fight with the retinues who were strong in martial arts and also had energy attack methods, and the entourages in the arena had to force their best efforts, Hu Bin recalled that unfortunately he was assigned to the team opposite the entourage, and was cleaned up miserably, and then stopped the entourage's request to participate, and promised to take them to a big meal after that, which ruined Ted's happiness.
Placing a bet of 100 dinars on himself, Hu Bin and 5 players with different weapons walked into the arena, the opponent was also 6 samurai with different weapons, Hu Bin was surprised to find that his teammate next to him was the leather-armored young man last night, and couldn't help but look at him with pity. According to Su Jia, it is extremely difficult to comprehend the energy attack, not only to look at the basic energy and world energy level, but also to rely on talent, Hu Bin, who has full energy, can be said to be proud of the audience.
Following the officer's order, the two teams began to fight in groups against each other. Hu Bin was given a one-handed practice axe and a wooden shield, and when he turned on the sword, he cut down an opponent with a two-handed sword in one shot, turned around and kicked down an opponent who wanted to sneak attack, a practice arrow hit his waist, and a little further down could burst his chrysanthemum. Hu Bin, who was shocked into a cold sweat, angrily rushed to the archers on the edge of the field, and after blocking the two panicked arrows with his shield, one shield hit the short sword replaced by the flying archer, and after knocking down the opponent, he slammed the back of the axe between his legs, and the whole audience screamed, and the men subconsciously clamped their legs. The rest of the opponents were solved by their teammates, but looking at Hu Bin's eyes, they were a little cringe, and the young man in leather armor kept saying that it was too ferocious, and it must be broken now.
After a short break, Hu Bin appeared again, this time probably in order to take care of the other players, Hu Bin was assigned a practice bow, and a group of people was divided into 3 teams, each team had 4 players. Hu Bin's team was attacked by the nearest team, and Hu Bin, who quickly took the arrow, shot the breastplate of the opposite archer, and the clerk signaled that the archer was disqualified, and another arrow hit the rider's neck, and the man covered his neck and planted his horse. At this time, another team had already joined the battle group, Hu Bin picked up the practice spear of the fallen horse and flew on his horse, accelerated to escape from the crowd, and then turned around and charged to pick up an opponent.
The two teams saw that Hu Bin was difficult to deal with, exchanged glances and rushed towards Hu Bin together, and there was still one archer, two swordsmen and one enemy rider left on the field. Hu Bin rode around the arena and approached the archer, and the spear in his hand stabbed accurately to fly the target, and then abandoned the rifle and took out the bow and arrow, and shot it on the head of the rider horse who followed closely behind. The two slow swordsmen were belated in a burst of boos, and could only watch Hu Bin run away on horseback, and then fell under the obscene horse-shooting kite flying tactics, never having a chance to get close to Hu Bin again. The audience gave enduring applause and cheers for Hu Bin's wonderful performance, and even the aristocratic ladies poked their heads out to show a smile to Hu Bin regardless of their reserve, Hu Bin raised his bow and galloped out of the arena.
In the next few games, Hu Bin did not meet too strong opponents, and shot Saiga Khan in the chest again in an encounter, and everyone who knew the last allusion laughed out loud. In the semi-finals, Hu Bin unexpectedly met the young man in leather armor, and it seemed that the other party who was the numbered person also had a hand.
At the beginning of the game, both sides got a one-handed sword and shield combination, Hu Bin strode towards the opponent, and the young man cautiously hid behind the shield to prepare for a defensive counterattack. At the moment of the fight, Hu Bin rushed forward suddenly, hitting the opponent's shield with his right shoulder, if the opponent's center of gravity is unstable, he will subconsciously spread his arms when he retreats, and Hu Bin can hit the opponent's empty door with his sword from bottom to top. However, the leather-armored youth only took a few steps back along the force, and then blocked Hu Bin's next upward slash, and then stabbed out from behind the shield with a one-handed sword. Seeing that the attack did not work, Hu Bin quickly retreated and raised his shield, which was able to block the opponent's once, and secretly blamed himself in his heart for underestimating the enemy.
Another tentative attack, but it was launched by the leather armor youth, seeing him hit Hu Bin's shield with a straight slash, Hu Bin just wanted to fight back and suddenly felt that the strength on the shield was wrong, so he continued to hold the shield and wait for the opportunity. The young man in leather armor found that Hu Bin was very cautious, so he fought a protracted battle with Hu Bin.
As the audience became louder and louder, Hu Bin felt a burst of irritability in his heart, and simply stopped suppressing his strength, and lightened his body sword and sword wind, Hu Bin shattered the wooden shield with one sword, but the next blow was dodged.
The leather-armored youth shouted: "Fighting spirit! You are the numberer, no way! Hu Bin didn't give him another chance, a sword hit him in the crotch, and then hit the back of the opponent's head with the hilt of the sword, obviously the numbered person's physique was stronger and did not faint, but it gave him more pain, looking at the opponent curled up on the ground, Hu Bin said expressionlessly: "Sorry, it's easy to catch the prisoner." The men in the stands on the periphery of the venue laughed loudly, and the ladies covered their red faces and peeked at Hu Bin in the cracks.
In the final, Hu Bin defeated the timid professional samurai without any suspense and won the championship, and the citizens of Tulka remembered this warrior from Salander, Lord Reed, and occasionally remembered the classic fencing performance before he became famous for a long time.
