"And the most important thing is that the commander of the Zhenbei Corps, Duke Dake, one of the three great knights of the Seven Nations Alliance, has also arrived in the Calburn area early this morning!"

【Sword of Jewels】Duke Darke?

Barron is no longer unfamiliar with this name, although he has only been in this world for more than 2 months, he has heard this legendary name I don't know how many times.

One of the three great knights of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, the guardian of the Nader Kingdom, the youngest cousin of the king of the Nader Kingdom, and also the Duke of the Kingdom, the commander of the Zhenbei Corps, and a series of dazzling titles and titles hung on his head.

Although Barron thinks that his future will not be much worse than him, but the future is the future after all, at least the current Barron still has a huge gap compared to Dak Nader, not only in terms of status, but also in his own strength.

Of course, this so-called future is very likely not to be too far away, because Barron's current body is only 18 years old after all, but he already has the strength of a mid-level knight, and even if you count the extraordinary power of cold poison, his true strength is not inferior to most high-level knights.

"I heard that although Duke Dak is 72 years old, since he was promoted to Grand Knight 33 years ago, his age seems to have stayed at that time, and he does not look old at all, but is extremely energetic. ”

"Nonsense, haven't you heard, legend has it that every great knight is a character who develops himself to the limit, and completely develops the treasures of the human body, not only can he keep his youth forever, but as long as he doesn't reach that time, his body will never weaken, and he will always be at his peak. ”

"I heard that it's not all, I heard that once you reach the level of a super strong knight, you can extend your normal lifespan, and you can easily live to be over 100 years old, or even ......."

The admiration on Bill's face when he mentioned Duke Darke was actually not only him, but even Suta and Van Lentien had the same expression on their faces when they heard the name of this living legend.

After a while, the three of them discussed very happily, even if two of the three of them were junior knights, they could be regarded as a strong party, but when they talked about Duke Dark, they had a look of fascination.

No wonder they have this kind of worship, in the past 30 years, the Nader Kingdom has pressed the ice wind in the north and blocked Goth in the south, and has also annexed 2 small countries, relying not on a soft policy, or a trade policy, but a real war.

And the guarantee of victory in the constant war is the legend in the mouths of Suta and Bill - Duke Dark.

Although in the past ten years, Duke Duck has spent most of his time in the royal capital and commanding the most powerful guards in the kingdom, but he has not had a fierce battle for nearly ten years.

But as long as Duke Duck is in the Nader Kingdom for a day, it is a kind of 'nuclear deterrence', whether it is the Ice Wind Kingdom in the north or the Goth Kingdom in the south, they dare not easily clash or war with the Nader Kingdom.

Just like this time the Icewind Kingdom, although it was allied with the four major lords at the beginning, it showed a scene of vigorously supporting the four major lords to fight with the kingdom after the alliance with the four major lords.

But in fact, it was only after occupying the Silver Snow Castle that it almost unilaterally tore up the agreement with the four major lords.

The two major armies of the Icewind Kingdom not only did not go south to help the four lords resist the kingdom's army in accordance with the alliance's agreement, but instead shrank repeatedly, but only occupied a Silver Snow Castle and then did not move.

Why would the Icewind Kingdom do this?

It's not because I heard the news that Duke Dak will lead the Zhenbei Corps to the north in the near future, and then first suppress the rebellion of the four major lords, and then it will be the troops of the Icewind Kingdom that will be dealt with.

For the [King of the North] Aland, this capture of the Silver Snow Castle and the total destruction of the Silver Snow Legion have achieved his primary strategic goal.

After that, if the four lords can block Duke Dark's troops, then Arand doesn't mind using some of his strength to support the four lords, but if the four lords can't even block Duke Dark's first step, then Arand will immediately take the four lords as some kind of gift to reduce the hatred of the Nader Kingdom.

Therefore, when Suta and Barron were discussing the legendary deeds of Duke Dak over and over again, Barron did not have a trace of admiration in his heart, but instead surged with a sense of enthusiasm.

There was only one thought in his mind now, and that was to see if there was a chance to fight Duke Dark, and to get a good idea of how much strength he had now.

He even wanted to verify whether he had really reached the level of a high-level knight as he had guessed.

However, Barron can only think about it, because Duke Duck is said to have not made a public attack for almost ten years, and even if he has a shot, most of them are private guiding battles, but Barron doesn't need guiding battles now.

"Maybe there will be such an opportunity in the future!" Barron thought, ignoring the excited Suta trio who were discussing on the sidelines.

Reflexively, he walked into the tent and took a few pieces of equipment from the remaining trophies of the Battle of the Hills, a common long sword, a small round shield, and a full set of leather armor of the Frisian cavalry, as his temporary weapons and protective gear.

Then he walked alone into the woods some distance from the mercenary camp, and after making sure he avoided everyone else, he began to practice his skills.

Bullfighting, Charge with a Shield, Cross Slash, Scale Armor, and even Extraordinary Strength - Cold Poison are all constantly being tried by Barron, especially when the Power of Cold Poison and the three main active skills are used at the same time.

Although the combination of bullfighting and cold poison power is not ideal, when the cold poison power is used at the same time with shield charge and cross slash, the power displayed by both makes Baron quite satisfied.

In addition, Barron also tried the protective ability of the scale armor, and found that if he didn't use the power of cold poison and didn't use skills, it would be difficult for him to break through his own defense with his own strength alone.

The only thing that didn't satisfy Barron was his own weapon, since yesterday when he was experimenting with the power of cold poison in the jungle, he turned his weapon long knife into ice slag.

The long sword and small round shield that I had just brought out to practice today also followed in the footsteps of yesterday's long knife and turned into pieces like ice slag.

Fortunately, Barron didn't use much cold poison power this time, and the long sword and small round shield still supported it for a long time before they were finally completely corroded by the cold poison power, and then completely scrapped.
