Chapter 44: The Road Encounters
According to Grant's intelligence, Best's soldiers themselves are very strong in individual combat and fierce, and almost all of them have the strength of trainee knights.
However, compared to the huge number of armies of other countries, the overall number of Best's army is much smaller.
Even though there is information on recruiting soldiers every year, I don't know why the number still can't be raised.
And Ron, who has experienced many battles, already knows the strength of a trainee knight.
With adequate preparation and weapons, the worst midshipman is almost as strong as ten soldiers.
Although there are strong and weak among the trainee knights, it is definitely a terrifying existence that all of Best's soldiers have reached this level.
'Every trainee knight has a long period of training and fighting, rich combat experience and strong physical fitness, and the most basic things of a trainee knight. Ron thought as he ate his bread. And my cunning method has reached this level, if it is true, it has not actually reached the minimum standard of a probationary knight. ’
His current strength can only be regarded as having reached the standard in terms of skills, but he is still lacking in physical fitness.
Based on previous observations in the territory and comparison of his own attributes, Ron estimated that at least one attribute of the trainee knight's physical fitness level needs to reach the level of 2.5 to 3, which can be said to be the minimum requirement.
So far, his physical attributes are only around 2.0, and his strongest strength is only 2.2 so far.
This level of strength may be considered a relatively high level among knights, but it is still a little lacking for trainee knights.
Of course, a person's strength is not only determined by physical fitness, but also by other factors.
But even if he only has the physical fitness of a trainee knight and has no experience in fighting, the regular army of Nabest is still very perverted.
If it weren't for the shortcomings in numbers, there might not be any problem in sweeping through several neighboring countries.
However, with this level of military strength, no one would believe it if there were no ghosts.
You must know that if you want to achieve this level of physical fitness, you can't form it at all without exercising and fighting day and night.
Ron's ability to quickly improve his physical fitness is also a correct choice made by relying on his training experience in his previous life and comparing his own attributes, which others in this world can't imitate at all.
As he pondered, Rubeus and the other servant seemed to quarrel over something.
If it weren't for the rain outside and the lack of two people in this cabin, maybe they would have fought right now.
Glancing at the red-faced two, Ron turned his head to look at the window of the cabin.
The light rain outside became more and more urgent, smashing on the ground with a 'pop' sound, and the clammy air permeated the leaky roof, and was quickly dispersed by the fire.
The horses tied to the hut were heard from time to time with the neighing of impatience.
In this atmosphere, his heart was so peaceful that he couldn't even hear the quarrel next to him.
However, just as Ron was sorting out his thoughts, he suddenly saw a few tiny black dots coming from the path next to the hut in the distance.
As the black dot got closer and closer, it was faintly accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves.
Seeing this, Ron narrowed his eyes slightly, and immediately waved his hand. "Stop arguing, someone's coming. ”
Hearing his words, Ruber and the servant immediately stopped arguing and looked out the window.
The black dots were four strong black horses, and on top of them were four young men dressed in uniform white swordsman's uniforms, each of whom had a delicate cross sword hanging from their waists and bows and arrows on their backs, looking very capable and powerful.
It's just that the rain washes away and looks a little embarrassed.
The white swordsman's suit was also stained with a lot of muddy water from the horses when they ran.
Seeing this, one of the servants thought for a moment.
"Probably the one who went to the barracks to report. ”
The area was almost close to the border, and there were not many people at all, except for deserters and roaming robbers.
Moreover, during this period, there was nothing else to pass through here except for those who went to join the army.
"Look, they seem to be running towards us?" asked, pointing in the direction of the four horses.
"What should I do?" Ruber glanced at the cabin.
The size of the cabin is not large, but there is still some room for the six of them to sleep, but ten people are a little cramped.
After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice.
"If they don't mind squeezing, we can give up a place, after all, they are out of the house, and it seems that they don't even have a cloak to protect themselves from the rain, so they are probably novices who have just gone out. ”
Hearing what Lu Bo said, the other few people did not say anything, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence.
Three minutes later, the four young men in swordsman's suits arrived in front of the wooden house.
However, they may have seen that there were already horses next to the hut, and a few people walked around in front of the hut before dismounting.
One of them, a handsome man with blond hair, handed over the reins to a man behind him and walked straight towards the hut.
And Ron and the others were already standing in front of the wooden house, looking at him quietly.
Walking up to him, the man took a slight look at what the men were wearing, and when he saw the two double-edged axes on Rubeus's waist, his pupils narrowed slightly, and then he smiled.
"Hello, stranger, let's take shelter from the rain, don't we?"
"Of course. Rubeus leaned slightly and stepped out of the door. "If you're not too crowded. ”
"Thank you then. The man nodded, then beckoned to the three people behind him.
Soon, four drenched figures entered the cabin.
Looking at the four people who silently walked to the corner and were also about to light a fire, the other servants also turned around in front of the fire indifferently, but their voices were quieter.
Although they had already guessed that these four people might also be the ones who went to the barracks to report, there was no need to take the initiative to approach each other.
After all, the world is chaotic now, and I can't tell if these people have any other intentions.
And the four people over there seemed to think the same way, except for the first conversation, they didn't speak.
Chop some planks, and their fire soon burned, and soon the smell of food wafted from there.
The four men unloaded their weapons, then took off their completely wet clothes and placed them in front of the fire to dry.
As time passed, the gloomy sky outside gradually darkened, and the rapid rain seemed to be much lighter.
After eating, Ron began to prepare the items for sleeping, and Ron simply cleaned up a clean space.
Ruber took off the double-edged axe from his waist, wiped it briefly, and then took out the oil from the package and applied it to prevent rust and dullness.
However, just as he was seriously applying, the man who had spoken before suddenly got up and walked up to Rubeus and smiled.
"Sir, can I lend you some oil, our weapons are soaked in rain, you see"
Hearing his request, Ruber raised his head, glanced at the remaining three people, thought for a moment, pushed the oil can at the man's feet, and said.
"Take it, it's better to save some, I don't have much. ”
"Thank you so much for your generosity. The man bent down slightly, picking up the oil can at his feet. "By the way, did you also report to the Best Barracks?"
"That's right. Rubeus nodded.
"That's great, so are we, I'm a probationary knight from Jelson Territory, Vincent Blech. The man smiled.
When they heard this man's self-introduction, several other servants all looked sideways slightly.
And Lu Bo was also stunned, he didn't expect this young man to be a trainee knight.
After a pause, he stood up from the ground and said in a respectful tone.
"I am a knight servant of the Ora's realm, Rubeus Creevey. ”
"The knights of the Aura Territory?" the man shook the nourishment oil in his hand, nodded, and said with a slight change in attitude. "Ruber, I remember your kindness. ”
Looking at the back of him leaving, Ron, who was taking out his things, frowned, although he had long known that the hierarchy in this world was very strict, but he didn't expect it to be so obvious.
However, Lu Bo, who lent the other party the nourishing oil, didn't say anything, but when he saw them dig out all the remaining nourishing oil, he also frowned.
The four of them drained all the nourishing oil that could have been used for a long time, and threw the jar in the corner casually.
After taking care of all the equipment on their bodies, they also began to prepare things for sleeping.
Slowly, it was completely dark outside.
Ron leaned against the wall of the hut and covered himself with a blanket, it was now autumn and it was easy to get sick if he didn't keep warm at night.
After a long day's journey, he was a little tired and was about to close his eyes.
Suddenly, a tall, thin man from the four got up and walked over, and he stretched out his foot and kicked Rubeus, who had just laid down and closed his eyes.
"Hey, buddy, we're short of a blanket over there, it's a little cold at night, can you lend us one. ”
Awakened, Rubeus opened his eyes suddenly, and he frowned, looking deeply at the man who kicked him.
It seemed that Rubeus was looking at him, and the man said a little uncomfortably.
"If you borrow or not, if you don't, just say it. ”
