Chapter 80: The Way of Heaven
Three months later, it was dark, just like the mood of a nobleman.
Count Araciss, the Lord of Zenda, looked at the information in his hand in his study, and only felt a toothache.
"Ding, Lord Earl, Instructor Kai has come to see you." After the brass bell rang beside him, a young waiter knocked on the door politely and came in to report. Hearing this news, Count Aracis inadvertently put the information in his hand on the side of the table, thought about it, and pressed the information in a book.
"Call him in."
"Yes"
The waiter saluted again and withdrew, and a moment later, Kai, the most powerful knight in the entire city of Chanda, walked in wearing a steel armor. "My lord, the gang of bandits near the town has all been killed, and the daughter of the townsman has also been rescued, Kai has not failed in his mission."
Nodding casually, Count Arassis stroked his forehead with his hand, but most of his thoughts were not on this matter. A small group of bandits outside the town is a trivial matter, send Kai out for a few months to kill them, in fact, most of the time is spent on the way back and forth, the real battle is hardly difficult, those horse bandits who don't even have iron armor on the opposite side, Kai alone with a sword to cut more than 20, the remaining bandits are only left to be slaughtered. What's more, if Kai took 10,000 steps back, Kai carelessly let those bandits escape, and even let the Chanda girl die, and Count Arassis wouldn't mind much, after all, she was just a village girl who was not beautiful.
The reason why the earl sent troops was not because it was worthwhile, but only because it showed the inviolable majesty of the Lord of Zenda.
"Hmm...... Triumphant. What do you think of the child Ino and Afar? The Count rubbed his forehead without any doubt.
"How. During my absence, did that kid get in trouble? Kai frowned and took a step forward, in every way, Kai had a crush on Ino, a smart but resilient farmer, not to mention that Ino had saved the life of his daughter Shaw.
"That's not true, I'm just curious about Ino's sword skills, did he save Xiao Yi's life after all."
One side said so. The Earl raised the teacup on his side, lightly tasting the fragrant aroma of black tea, but the Calradia Big 6 itself was a tea producer. It's just that people here make tea and put a lot of condiments in it, which once made Zhu Peng, who was in contact with this world's tea culture for the first time, extremely uncomfortable.
"Ino has excellent qualifications and is as resilient as I was back then. Ten times smarter than I was. Coupled with my current good training and training, at most eight to ten years, he will be able to have the same knightly strength as me. Kai does not shy away from complimenting Zhu Peng, he himself is already the top civilian knight on the big 6, in addition to the nobles who have special powers, it is not an exaggeration to call Kai the strongest knight in the big 6 of Calradia, he said that Zhu Peng can catch up with him in eight to ten years, it is already a very high recognition.
"Do we need another eight to ten years of effort? Strength similar to yours. That's great. There seemed to be an incomprehension in the words, and the Count whispered. Kai, who doesn't have enough sharpness, doesn't know whether to answer or not.
Sensing Kai's contradiction, Count Arassis smiled and said soothingly: "It's nothing, I'm just expecting it." Kai alone already has the strength to influence the direction of a skirmish, if you add a knight on your equivalent, and the two of you join forces, wouldn't the weaker noble troops be opponents? ”
Calradia 6 has been fighting for two hundred years, but because of the limitation of territory and people's base, the scale of each battle is actually not large, in this big 6, an ordinary nobleman with a castle to support a standing army of about two hundred people, almost is the limit, with the army to participate in the battle of sixty or seventy people is already enough, compared to a certain ancient civilization known to Zhu Peng, the scale of the war of hundreds of thousands of people at every turn, riding and slashing plane, Calradia 6 is really much inferior.
Of course, the great shrinkage of the scale of the battle, often also means a sharp increase in the quality of soldiers, and ancient China is different from the tactics of the sea of people who are both soldiers and soldiers, the corps under the hands of the outstanding nobles is often a full-time soldier, a lifetime of martial arts without touching the hoe, carrying iron armor across the war horse, a single cavalry has the strength to slaughter more than a dozen peasants on the one hand, if the cavalry team is formed, it is unstoppable to kill the horses, twenty cavalry rushed to kill more than 100 bandits or civilians, often will not appear in battle damage, just pure slaughter.
After fighting all the way and running back and forth, Kai, who was a little tired, retreated in front of Count Arassis.
After a long while, after the earl was sure that Kai was gone, he pulled out the information that had just been deliberately put away from the desktop copy, which clearly recorded the name of Ino. Afar's civilian teenagers have made a series of outstanding achievements in recent times...... It's not just a masochistic effort when cultivating, in the past three months, Ino . Afar defeated the junior three, the intermediate five, and the senior instructor two (teamed up) in the wooden sword technique in succession.
Although he is still young, he has already faintly shown a strong force in swordsmanship and martial arts.
Putting down the information in his hand again, Count Arassis stroked his forehead with one hand and only felt a sharp pain. muttered, "In another eight or ten years?" I'm afraid that in less than three to five years, the fifty iron armor of my Chanda Fort will already be able to resist the joint attack of your master and apprentice. ”
Kai is a Nord from the coastal plains north of Calradia 6, and he is good at foot combat with both hands, and if he shoots with all his strength, even in a legion battle of more than 100 people, he has the ability to kill ten cavalry independently, and if it is in the right terrain, this number will only be more. And his apprentice has already shown considerable force and amazing potential at a young age, and in another eight to ten years or even less, Count Aracis is really afraid that the defense of less than a hundred guards in the castle alone will not be able to stop this pair of perverted masters and apprentices. What's more, martial arts instructor Kai has a reputation in Chanda City......
"Lord Earl don't need to be so worried, it seems to me that Lord Kai is still very loyal to you, as long as the two great knights of the present and future are loyal to you, isn't this a great blessing for Chanda City? Why should adults be so embarrassed? While Count Arassis was covering his forehead, a young man with an elegant temperament and a delicate appearance stepped out of the study on one side. After obtaining permission, he picked up the information on the table, looked at the pages of achievements, and showed undisguised appreciation in his eyes.
The young man's name was Suke. Originally, he was the heir of a merchant in Viruga of the Rhodoc Empire, but he didn't know what he had done and ran away with his sister to Chanda, thousands of miles away, to open a tavern.
If there is no Zhu Peng, then this buddy can only open a tavern in Chanda until he dies, but Zhu Peng killed Harrick, the sheriff of the city, only half a month after he came here, although the Earl of Arassis was very happy when he borrowed his hand to kill, but after killing, he also felt a lot of inconvenience without Harrick. The most intuitive point is that many trivial matters now need to be handled by the Count himself, and although Kai is extremely powerful, the sheriff manages the arsenal. Not only do you have to handle a lot of accounts, but the most important thing is to have a certain amount of authority to transfer weapons privately. Such a position was for which Kai was competent, and Count Arassis did not dare to let him do it.
In this way, Suke, who was quite educated and well versed in accounting, soon came into the earl's eye. The most important thing is that this buddy has traveled thousands of miles to Chanda, and he is worthy of the name and has no relatives. After becoming a member of the Earl's command, Suke had no choice but to become the Earl's confidant, or he couldn't join the other factions in Zenda.
Suke himself is indeed quite talented, not only did he quickly inherit all the work of the dead Harrick, but he also did a much cleaner job than Harrick, but he would not slander others casually like Harrick's dead ghost, but he just regarded himself as a staff member and put forward his own cognitive opinions to the earl quite pertinently.
"Lord Kai alone can kill ten heavy horsemen on the battlefield. If it is a simple 6-level battle, I am afraid that it will not be difficult to kill more than 30 people, and in the future, if it is equipped with an arm that is equal to or even better than the strength of Lord Kai...... It is not for nothing that Lord Earl is concerned about the security of the castle's defenses. But I know. That Ino. Afar was still young, and no matter what the force was, he was still quite immature mentally speaking.
Therefore I sent four of his eight brothers to serve as deacons in the factories of the Lords in Sagos and Zhivadine, and the other four were also destined to be the more modest and leisurely in the castle, with whom the Earl would be more and more intimate. In the future, even if this Ino really can't be raised, his eight elder brothers will be restrained everywhere, so I don't believe that he can be afraid at all. As Suk analyzed and arranged step by step, Count Arassis gradually soothed his countenance, but he still asked Suk to continue to set up a tavern in Chanda City, and gave him a considerable amount of money, asking him to get to know all the powerful knights from all sides as much as possible.
In fact, if it was really a clever and treacherous competition, how could Count Arassis, who could become the lord of a city, be inferior to Su Ke, a young man who had not experienced too many ups and downs? Use him to fill in the gaps.
A few days later, Su Ke's various arrangements were practiced by the earl, and the earl further pushed Zhu Peng's father Ka Xiu to the position of Chanda sheriff, in fact, all the things and power of the sheriff were in Su Ke's hands, and old Ka Xiu could not interfere at all. It's just that this old man who has been a farmer all his life understands? Coaxed by the Earl and Sooke, he only felt that his family had lived a happy life as soon as he entered Zenda, and he was completely dead to Count Aracis, and the young Suke, who was not loyal enough to be thick-skinned and black-hearted, blushed, but it was Count Aracis who unceremoniously accepted the sincere loyalty of old Cassius.
However, Zhu Peng saw all kinds of tricks and secrets in Chanda City but didn't care about it, at this moment, he just concentrated on waving the big sword in his hand: "This body is heavy with a sword, and he will ascend to the sky step by step."
This sentence can only be truly appreciated by being in Zhu Peng's position today, and it is really life and death, the rise and fall of honor and disgrace are all put on a sword.
"With the force of an inferior common people's sword, you can influence the attitude of a great nobleman and a great prince, this taste is really sweet." As if he was muttering in his heart, the next moment the fierceness in Zhu Peng's dark eyes flashed, but he suddenly took out his sword and changed his footwork in all directions, rushing to kill like a hurricane, repelling and even sweeping down several instructors who were around him like a great enemy, and overwhelmed the crowd with one blow, and his courage and courage were terrifying.
Someone in an ancient country once said: "Since ancient times, the poor have been rich in literature and martial arts." ”
This sentence is very reasonable, the son of a wealthy family practices martial arts, and has more body nutrition supplements since he was a child, and all kinds of external forces can greatly assist in cultivation.
But the paradox with this correct sentence is that since ancient times, heroes and masters have been reckless, and there are few strong people in rich and noble families. This is actually not because the above sentence is wrong, the rich and noble families do have a lot of advantages in practicing martial arts compared with the poor families, but the real importance of martial arts is the eight words of "dedication and diligent practice" after all. Just like Zhu Peng at this time, he didn't think about anything with the sword in his hand, Su Ke's calculations, and the earl's ghost thoughts, he didn't pay attention to it, he swung his sword 36,000 a day, and he lived up to this kindness in ten years.
The way of heaven has rewarded hard work since ancient times. (To be continued!)
