Chapter 32: Progress, Return

There is a high-level tavern building in the territory, which can not only be used to find out all kinds of news, but more importantly, it has a main channel to consume essentia energy to take over various tasks. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The higher the level of the tavern, the higher the level of missions that can be taken, the more types of missions you can take, and the higher the chance of recruiting high-level warriors and even stranded heroes.

The low-level tavern high-level warriors and heroes are reluctant to stay, and even if they do, they will leave quickly.

Before and after the attack and defense of Fort Jerbor, Zhu Peng successively pulled out a hired crossbowman, Artiman, and a team of fifth-level professional samurai heavy armored swordsmen from the first-level tavern, which can almost be said to be lucky.

It is normal to hire crossbowmen, heroes and high-level professional warriors like Artiman are not normally retained in first-level taverns, although Zhu Peng spent a lot of money to hire professional warriors and crossbowmen, but the normal situation should be that even if the lord wants to spend a lot of money, he can't find suitable warriors to hire in low-level taverns.

And the valley between Fort Derber and Elbuk Castle is famous for the two ambush battles in which the father and son of the Custer family defeated the strong in succession, and the original nameless small valley was directly named "Karst Ambush Valley" on the military map as a geographical location that was highlighted and vigiled on the maps of various countries.

But in fact, the one that Viscount William was indeed a veritable successful ambush battle, and the one commanded by Zhu Peng was ...... It can hardly be said to be an ambush, and the reason for the victory is more of a tactical victory and a huge fluke.

In fact, before leading the army into the valley, Count Magali was mentally prepared for the possibility of being ambushed, if he had not miscalculated the power of the frontal charge of the Free Knights, if the cavalry of Viscount Javier not far away cut into the battlefield at a normal speed, not to mention the victory or defeat of the battle, whether Zhu Peng could escape or not was a matter of two words. The second battle of Custer's ambush in the valley was really a big gamble for Zhu Peng, but he won the gamble by luck.

But even so, killing 10,000 enemies and losing 3,000, the Count of Magali led almost the most elite knights in the Kingdom of Vegia, defeated the strong with the weak and forcibly gnawed it, it can be said that Zhu Peng's mouth was full of blood.

After that battle, Nabal's 50 infantry soldiers were killed 39 and 10 wounded. Zhu Peng's 20 freelancers and 30 cerberus, five freelancers were killed and three were wounded, and twenty-four of the thirty cerberus were killed and five were wounded.

It fully shows that the lower the rank, the higher the chance of death on the battlefield, and in the face of the heavy and sharp weapons of those high-level soldiers, if there is no enough thick and strong armor to protect them, once they are hit, they will either die or be disabled.

However, the Crimson Devil Dog had gained tremendous growth nutrients in that tragic war, and after returning to Jerbo Castle and eating a crazy meal, when Zhu Peng saw it again the next day, the Demon Dog had changed greatly...... The three-headed Flame Breath Dog of Hell is a terrifying fantasy life form like a giant bear, and the key is that its fire breath ability is too amazing for a Calradian warrior who has no magic resistance attribute.

The huge losses after the battle made Zhu Peng, after receiving a huge ransom from Count Magali, recruit the school-age peasants in Mazan Village at a high price to become soldiers, and recruit the scattered mercenaries in the tavern who are suitable for the Terran forces at a high price.

The recruitment of Cerberus has already weakened the morale of -20, and if you recruit some orcs and swamps indiscriminately, the morale of the army in Fort Jerber is likely to collapse directly, and there is still some room for maneuver to control the biracials and control the multi-races...... I don't know if anyone can do it, but they can't do it themselves.

At the same time, Zhu Peng worked hard to take over all kinds of tavern tasks that his strength could bear, and attacked from all sides, in order to restore his military strength as soon as possible.

In fact, Zhu Peng's original intention was not to protect the interests of the merchants, but the army in the castle was dispatched more, and there were naturally fewer pirate troops or other bandit organizations around the castle, and this relatively safe environment increased the commercial trade value of Fort Jerbo in disguise.

Although, Zhu Peng doesn't care much about this.

After the battle with Magali two months earlier, Zhu Peng kept his promise to prepare a plate for Nabal to pester, and let the one-eyed pirate king leave.

As Zhu Peng expected, with the superposition of the triple plane world, the fog of war spread wildly, and all kinds of powerful fantasy creatures emerged one after another, and in the early months and a half, Nabal, whose spirit almost collapsed, led a sea army of nearly 100 people to come back to Viscount Rhodes.

While the chaos of the current situation can certainly make a fortune for the pirate army, the long-term homeless pirates themselves are more vulnerable to monster attacks than the people of other human settlements.

Unlike villages and castles, fantasy beings who are usually not very strong or have a gentle temperament will not approach or even attack, but unlike the pirate army that wanders around the world, they may be attacked like the people of human settlements, or they may strayed into the territory of any fantasy life.

In the past two months, Nabal has taken his brothers to fight with various monsters more frequently than he has taken his brothers out to rob, although the days are not impossible to last, but thinking back to the young lord of Jambo Castle, Nabal does not feel very repulsed after pondering, not to mention that after the dense fog every day, there are more and more monsters of all kinds, and they are getting stronger and stronger, and I heard that there is a legendary invincible life on the Swadia continent: the dragon.

In the end, due to a combination of multiple reasons, Nabal chose to defect to Rod Custer in Djerborburg. This was expected by Zhu Peng, but he didn't expect Nabal to be so fast, after all, the other party was a man who originally had the ambition to establish a pirate kingdom.

"Or is it the instinct of a beast raised by wandering knives and licking blood since childhood? This guy is probably vaguely aware of the ripples of great changes in the world, just like the animals before the earthquake and tsunami, that man chose to use my Jerber Fort as a strong den to hide and save his life......" Zhu Peng, who was sitting at the table, said to John Watson beside him that night.

With the strength of Nabar's army of nearly 100 pirates, Zhu Peng's cards in his hand suddenly played a lot better, and with Nabar's popularity, he can also attract more and more pirates to seek refuge.

It's just that Nabar doesn't belong to the world's heroes who have dimensional luck on his body.

Although he is a limit-breaker, his personal combat power is thrown out of the eight streets of Artimaan, but that's all, he is a reckless hero who breaks through the limit of his life with his own efforts and obtains his allegiance, and Zhu Peng does not get any luck to help, which can be regarded as a slight flaw in this matter.

...... Attacking from all sides, Shunchang reversed the ......

Late at night, in the field, in the camp of the legion.

Zhu Peng held a wooden sword in his right hand and a round shield in his left hand, and he fought Nabal bare-chested.

There was no entertainment at night in the Western Middle Ages, and civilians could choose to go to the tavern to drink some bad wine or go home to find their daughter-in-law to make a man to play, and of course the soldiers on the march could not have these pastimes, whether it was liquor or women, it was forbidden in military life.

However, fighting was not forbidden, and the warriors were unarmoured and armed with heavy ironwood swords around the campfire to hone each other's fighting skills, and even opening gambling was allowed.

At this moment, Zhu Peng held a wooden sword and shield like a vigorous and agile black panther to fight with Nabal, who was holding a two-handed heavy sword, and today, two months later, Rod Custer, who was originally a little creamy, has faded away from his original aristocratic habits and truly integrated into the military.

Subduing Arteman, he consumed twenty points of essentia energy and rushed his spiritual power all the way to the extreme value of a first-class apprentice, which is the most cost-effective way to use precious essentia energy, and the personal luck of the natives of the mixed plane unlocked the seal of their own power in different plane worlds.

Now Zhu Peng only needs to find a suitable place and perform a simple transformation ritual to become a full-fledged wizard, and this extremely precious realization will also return to the original body with his return, so that the main body of the half-plane of the wizarding world will also make a breakthrough.

However, the strength of the wizard is strong, after all, there is still some shame in the current Calradia continent, and it is also because Zhu Peng is better at martial arts power, so although it is not cost-effective, Zhu Peng still chooses to directly consume essentia energy to fill his body.

Rod Custer himself is a gentleman, he is too drunk at a young age, Yuanyang is in deficit, and he does not have much talent for martial arts, even if he consumes twenty-five points of origin and superimposes Zhu Peng's secret method of building a pure yang foundation, he can only exercise the physique of the peak of dark energy and the beginning of transformation of strength in these two months.

However, it is enough for Zhu Peng to control and deal with the opponent in front of him, the martial arts of the Calradia continent are fierce and fierce but they are lost in the mystery of change, and the most important thing is that they are not involved at all in the field of mental law, and they are still the basic path of simply relying on instinct and fury to control the moves, and there is only self and enemy in this mental state, and the utilization rate of the external environment is quite low.

Zhu Peng's center of gravity drifted to the left shield and the right sword cooperated, obviously the strength was not as great as Nabar, and the speed was not faster than the other party, but he was able to seize the opportunity, and every move and style pressed Nabal extremely angry, and as time went by, he gradually lost his calm, or Nabar never thought that the warriors in the heads-up needed to be calm, and the rage brought recklessness and fierceness and strength!

He slashed out several swords one after another, and the one in his hands was obviously a wooden sword, but it tore through the air and made a terrible whining sound, which was terrifying.

However, no matter how strong the attack is, it is useless if it can't hit people.

Zhu Peng changed his footwork, sometimes moving forward, sometimes retreating, with his own charm between space and rhythm, and Nabal was unconsciously led to the tent next to him by Zhu Peng.

Finally blocked the opponent who was as smooth as a mouse in the dead corner, Nabal didn't care who the opponent was at this moment, he roared and slashed down with a sword in both hands, the power was violent, the murderous aura swept and spread, and he had a hundred battles on the battlefield and the courage to dominate all directions.

This is almost a terrifying blow that cannot be avoided and even Zhu Peng cannot defend without injury, Nabal, a fool who fights and has a bloody brain, completely forgetting that he should have some strength when facing his own boss.

However, the long and heavy two-handed wooden sword slammed into the support pole of the tent behind Zhu Peng, just as the preface said, the warriors of the Calradia Continent lacked the sensitivity to see the six ways and hear in all directions, and the utilization rate of the surrounding environment was also surprisingly low.

Of course, this is also relative, and it can also be said that Nabar was dizzy by Zhu Peng.

Nabal, who opened the empty door, was suddenly approached by Zhu Peng with a shield sword, and the round shield in his left hand rotated to attack, as strong as a spiral, obviously a wooden shield, but Zhu Peng played a steel drill charm between the attacks, and the round shield hit Nabal's lower abdomen hard, making the face of this man as strong as a beast swell red, and at the same time, the short sword in his right hand swung obliquely, the force was condensed on the blade, fast and heavy, and there was a tearing sound in the air。

After hearing a muffled "bang", the pirate king, who was arrogant and fierce a moment ago, was easily knocked down by Zhu Peng with a combined attack on his left shield and right sword.

At the moment when Nabar fell, a small number of soldiers next to the gambling handicap shouted excitedly, while more of the soldiers from the Haikou Army were dejected and annoyed, but whether they won or lost the bet, their eyes on Zhu Peng were respectful and in awe.

They could understand every move the lord cast, but the effect of these moves in a row made them unable to understand it.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhu Peng does not hesitate to directly consume a large amount of essentia energy to fill his body, and the power of wizard spells can only make these warriors panic, fear, and even hatred.

Only by using the power that they can understand and understand can they become their leader, can they gain as much recognition as possible.

"Carry Nabal to your tent...... Alright, you bastards are almost done with it, go back and get some early rest, we're on our way tomorrow. Naturally, some subordinates sent towels and clothes to wipe their bodies, and Zhu Peng ordered the soldiers to be dispersed after dressing appropriately, and he himself returned to the camp to prepare for rest.

Suddenly, there was a lightning-like perception through his mind, making Zhu Peng's body stiffen, this was a signal transmitted by other spy wizards, like telepathy to inform his companions to enter the ghost light world as soon as possible, under normal circumstances, no one would use it easily, because the initiator would consume a little essentia energy.

Basically, no one would joke about this kind of thing, and correspondingly, other spies would enter the other space as soon as the situation allowed, and participate in the ghost light meeting.
