Chapter 54: Harvest and Ambush

"My lord, I really don't dare, I don't seem to have any strength in my body when you stand in front of me, and I don't even have the idea of using my sword, even if that Pike Great Swordsman chooses me to be his opponent, I am not very afraid, but as soon as I see you, I want to abandon my sword and surrender. I, I don't know what's going on......" Ingreel said pitifully.

The old man was so frightened by himself that he didn't dare to fight with him at all. Lorist waved his hand excitedly: "Forget it, you go down." ”

As if he had been pardoned, the old man bowed respectfully and hurried away.

The most important thing now is to deal with Slov, the leader of the slave catchers, and his cousin, the Pike Archswordsman, who will return in a few days. Lorist felt that he was sure of the Golden Swordsman, but he had not fought with the Great Swordsman yet, and his heart was also full of emotions.

I remember that before leaving from Moriente City, Lorist went to visit Claude Teaching, and Clerude, who had just been promoted to the Great Sword Master, was full of spirit and in excellent physical condition, and said to himself that if he competed with Lorist now, he would never let Lorist support two hundred moves like last time.

Although Krud still regards Lorist as the strength of the black iron fighting spirit, there is no need for Lorist to explain to Cleud that he was still at the peak of his strength when the two competed last time, and now it should be even better to enter the realm of dark energy, and it is not so easy for Crud to teach him to clean himself up. Lorist took the opportunity to ask Crud what is the difference between a great swordsman and a golden swordsman?

Teach Claude thought about it, took a few cups out, and gave Lorist a very vivid demonstration. First, the smallest cup was placed on the table, and Crud taught that awakening the fighting spirit was like having this cup in the body to hold the fighting energy. If the small cup is a bronze level, then this larger cup is a black iron level. Loris nodded, signaling that she understood.

Teaching Claude put two bowls on the table, one large and one small, pointing to the smaller bowl and saying that this is the silver level, and the larger bowl saying that this is the gold level, in fact, the bronze, black, iron, silver, and gold four orders are not much different except for the amount of fighting energy, and the characteristics of each order, such as the sword of silver and the blade of gold, there is no big difference, it is just the length of time to use fighting qi in battle. For example, the Black Iron Rank can use Fighting Qi in battle for ten minutes, and the Golden Rank can use it for an hour.

Therefore, if the timing is good, good luck, coupled with external factors such as swordsmanship, it is not an accident that the Black Iron Rank defeats the Golden Rank, and everyone has a time when they stumble. This is the situation and difference of the fourth order of Douqi. And the difference between the Great Swordsman and the Golden Swordsman is this, Claude taught a large plate on the table, he said that in terms of the amount of fighting energy, the Great Swordsman's fighting spirit is not much more than that of the Golden Swordsman, just like this big bowl representing the golden rank, if the water it holds is poured into this plate, it can also fill the plate.

But the difference between the two is also here, the area of the plate is large, the area of the bowl is small, and you can fight against the golden swordsman on the outside of the bowl without being affected. And to fight the Great Sword Master, you have to be on a plate, and your every move will be restricted by this plate. Claude taught him to put the bowl representing the golden steps on the plate, and with a flick of his hand, the bowl dribbled and turned on the plate, but it was trapped by the edge of the plate and could not roll onto the table.

It dawned on Lorist that he understood what Claude was trying to convey. The promotion of the Golden Swordsman to the Great Swordsman is equivalent to turning the area of the cube into the area of the cube, and the total area remains the same, and the controllable range becomes larger.

"What about the Juggernaut?" asked Lorlist.

"Sword Master, it should be like this table, this table is like the realm of Sword Master, we are like the plates and bowls on the table, he can set us up however he wants, we can't escape his control. Crude said with a sigh of relief.

According to Crude's description, Lorist concluded that the difference between the Great Swordsman and the Golden Swordsman was the ability to control the field. Cruod also said. Just like after he was promoted to the Great Sword Master, he practiced swords with Anfiya Teaching, no matter how Anfiya taught him to use his sword, Crude taught him to have a kind of understanding, or a hunch, and he knew in his heart where Anfiya would attack, and even Anfiya taught to prepare to change the sword style to know in advance what it would be.

In this way, the field control ability of the Great Swordsman is actually similar to the effect of Lorist's dynamic vision ability, but the Great Swordsman's field control ability is more general, mainly a sensing ability, unlike Lorlist's dynamic vision, can see specific things, just like a sword strike, the Great Swordsman will sense that the sword will roughly attack that part of himself, so as to respond. Lorlist, on the other hand, will see the shadow of this sword clearly, and know the speed and power of this sword.

Injerek also said that he had fought with that great swordsman, Pike, and thought he could handle a hundred moves. Therefore, Lorist is not afraid to fight the Great Sword Master, and believes that the Great Sword Master can only fight with him at best. However, since he already knew that the Great Swordsman was stronger than the Golden Swordsman in the ability to control the field, Lorist had already made a decision, and he was ready to compare the field control ability with the Great Swordsman, and also let the Great Swordsman see another kind of field control ability.

Lorist went to the balcony, which was the balcony on the highest floor of the main building of the manor, from which he could see everything in the manor clearly, and it was said that this was also the favorite place for the head of Slov. Perhaps on this balcony, there will be a feeling that the whole estate is in your hands.

In the small square below the main building, Dorus is directing twelve crossbow chariots around the regiment, although a crossbow chariot only needs three people to operate, but Dorus has recruited five people per car, the reason is that the chariot is relatively large, five people can stay at all, and the extra two are holding large shields and halberds, which can not only add defense and melee attack power to the chariot, but also replace them in the case of damage to the chariot members, so as to ensure that the long-range attack of the chariot crossbow on the chariot will not be interrupted due to the lack of people.

On the hillside not far away, Telman and the other fourteen silver knights were teaching their twenty-eight black iron squires how to charge closely behind them, and more than forty war horses were constantly rushing down and climbing up the hill, making smoke and dust billowing up.

In the distance was a larger school field, where Bodfinger had leveled ten acres of vineyards as a training ground for heavy armor, black plate armor, black helmets, and black obelisk shields. From a distance, the black phalanx of six hundred people had already formed, like a black monster, giving people a sense of silence and danger. Lorist was very satisfied, Bodfinger deserved to be the captain of the heavy armor corps, and in just a few days, these six hundred heavy armor soldiers had been trained by him.

The more than 2,000 slaves rescued in the camp of the slave hunting group and the nearly 1,000 slaves in the manor were all enthusiastic to join the family army of Lorist, except for nearly 100 homesick slaves, basically all the young slaves and their families joined the ranks of the north. Coupled with the original slave soldiers, the results of the statistics made Lorist surprised and delighted, there were nearly 900 people who were the strength of the black iron fighting spirit, and more than 400 people were the strength of the bronze fighting spirit.

So Lorist decided to expand all the arms, first the heavy armor, from 500 to 600. Then came the chariot of Dorus, a total of sixty-five men, twelve chariots and sixty men, as well as Dorus and four heralds on horseback, in order to facilitate the command of the chariot convoy.

Telman didn't want to increase the number of knights, but the twenty-eight Black Iron Squires he picked were all three of the Black Iron Knights. As for Yuri, he expanded the ranks of light cavalry scouts to eighty men, all equipped with chain mail and gray leather armor, one man and two horses, two throwing guns, twenty-four. A crossbow, a pot of twenty-four arrows, an arm shield, a long sword, and things like flying axes and fishing nets that each person is equipped with according to their preference. Even Bodfinger was envious when he saw it, saying that the equipment of this light cavalry scout was more complete than that of the White Lion Legion in the past.

The soldiers who joined these four branches were all soldiers with the strength of the Black Iron Rank, and the remaining more than a hundred Black Iron Rank soldiers were recruited into the guards of the main camp by El, along with seven silver swordsmen who had to become slaves due to their families. So the team of 420 crossbowmen formed by Mons Malek was composed of slaves with bronze strength, and the remaining dozens of slaves of the black iron and bronze ranks joined the spearmen brigade of more than 1,200 people commanded by Rose. He was armed with a spear and wore leather armor, which was inferior to the garrisons of some lords' territories.

Lorist was sorry that the purpose of forming the spearmen brigade was to maintain order and vigilance in the convoy and personnel after the northbound journey, and the real battle was carried out by heavy armor, chariots, knights and light cavalry. In addition to being strong, the spearmen brigade is cleaning the battlefield.

In fact, the most suitable person to be the spearman in charge was Injerek, an old man who had been the commander of the city defense and was very experienced in commanding such a team of spearmen. However, at present, the old man has not returned to his heart, and Lorist is not at ease, and is ready to observe for a while.

Yuri with his team of hussar scouts did not know where to run and was not in the manor. From time to time, clouds of arrows rose from the grape fields in the distance, which were the crossbow archers in training. On the walls of the manor stood the garrison spearmen, and the spearmen who were not on duty were divided into squads, and under the leadership of their respective captains, they marched and sprinted in formation.

Now Lorist has a family army of more than 2,300 people, as well as nearly 3,000 relatives of the army, and a team of nearly 6,000 people will go north immediately if they are not well trained.

In the evening, Fat S. sat on the soft couch and brought his maid named Moris to report to Lorist what he had gained. Since the capture of Slov Manor, the old man, the head of the manor, has been stubborn and determined not to reveal the situation in the treasury. So Fat Boy asked Reddy and Pat to put up the hollow wheel and swivel chair, first asked the old man to try the swivel chair, and then asked him to play with the hollow wheel, and then the old man sat on the ground and told the situation of Captain Slov's two vaults and a private treasure trove.

The two vaults allowed Lorist to reap the rewards. The large vaults were probably communal, and contained all sorts of gold, silver, and copper coins, which together were worth forty or fifty thousand gold merits. The small vault was supposed to be Slov's private, and it was full of gold and gold dollar scrolls, worth more than 70,000 gold coins. As for that treasure trove, there are weapons and armor cheats collected by Slov, just so that Lorist is ready to reward his knights in the future, and some treasures such as crafts can be used for gifts and relationships.

In short, the capture of Slov Manor allowed Lorist to earn more than 100,000 goldfords, which solved the current problem of tight funds, and the materials in the arsenal, wine cellar, granary and other warehouses in the manor enriched the material replenishment of Lorlist's team. So much so that El privately discussed with Lorist that if there were supply difficulties on the way north, the problem would be solved by finding a manor and capturing it.

originally thought that this was all for the harvest, but when Lorist handed over the small box containing gold coins confiscated from Injerek's house to Shi Fat Man to charge into the public account, Shi Fat Man realized that he had missed a big problem. So the relatives of the members of the slave hunting group began to be unlucky, and Shi Fatzi moved the hollow runner and swivel chair to the residential area, and began to invite the original residents of this residential area to experience the feeling of dizziness and softness of hands and feet, and then searched for belongings from house to house.

Shi Fatzi said: "My lord, after three days of searching, a total of about 34,000 gold fortunes have been seized from the homes of nearly 300 households in the residential area, in addition to seven high-level fighting spirit cheats and some treasures, which have been handed over to Sedecamp for registration and safekeeping. The question now is, what should we do with the relatives of the more than 1,000 members of the slave hunting group?"

That's a problem, they can't go north with them, and they can't be released. They were ruined by Lorlist, and the hatred was great. But if you want to kill them, you can't do it, it is their relatives who do evil, and although they enjoy the fruits of evil, they will not die everywhere. In fact, the proposal that El made a few days ago was the most reliable, to sell the relatives of these slave hunters to slave traders, so that they could also taste what it was like to be slaves.

Lorist hesitated, he said in public that the Norton family had no slaves, and he turned around and sold these people to slave traders, as if he had broken his promise. Headache, forget it, let's leave this problem until later, anyway, there is still a while before departure, let's talk about it then. Lorist irresponsibly put the matter off until later, and let the original occupants of these manors be prisoners for a period of time now.

A three-masted ship was approaching the docks of Ametrin, with the flag of the Slov slave catchers flying on the ship. This is the personal sea boat of the head of the Slov regiment, and since the crew is local and familiar with the offshore situation, there is no need for a pilot.

"It's very deserted on the dock today, and you can't see anyone. Captain Slov said to the Pike Archswordsman standing next to him. Because of the pampered relationship in the past two years, Captain Slov's figure has become very fat, like a wine barrel.

"You have to think about who you are, now the housewives of the towns scare their children into saying your name, tell the children to be careful, if you don't obey, you will be caught and sold. So our boat shows up at the dock, and no one is in a normal situation. "The Pike Swordsman was a tall old man with a proud face and a nobody's expression in his eyes.

"Hehe, yes, but it's always good to be awe-inspiring. Otherwise, if you are kind, these untouchables will think that you are weak and deceitful, and they will try to take advantage of you. It's still so good, people are scared, and they will stay away from you and dare not meddle with your business. Captain Slov smiled and talked about his life experience.

The ship finally approached the dock, and several sailors climbed down from the ship, tied the ropes to the wooden stakes at the dock, and then lowered the gangplank for disembarking, and after securing it, Captain Slov and Master Pike led more than twenty men to carry several large boxes from the ship.

When they arrived at the docks, the head of the Slov regiment looked around and scolded viciously: "Have I been away for too long? Those bastards in the manor have forgotten to drive the carriage to meet them, and they must be beaten up when they go back." ”

Pike Archswordsman looked around, his face becoming cautious: "Be careful, I feel something is not quite right......"

"Papapa" applause rang out, and Lorist appeared on the docks, followed by Pat and Reddy, each with three shotguns in each hand.

"Who are you?" Pike archswordsman narrowed his eyes and stared at Lorlist, his eyes as sharp as a falcon.

Lorist ignored him and continued to clapp, and six hundred black-armored heavily-armored soldiers with black obelisk shields appeared behind him, surrounding the docks. Immediately afterward, more than 400 soldiers armed with crossbows appeared behind the heavily armored soldiers.

If the appearance of the heavy armor was indifferent to Master Pike, then the appearance of the crossbow archer made Master Pike change his face. Even as a great swordsman, he would not be spared under the fire of more than 400 crossbows.

"Who the hell are you and what do you want to do?" exclaimed the Pike Archswordsman. Beside him, the fat Captain Slov turned pale, shrunk behind two attendants wearing chain mail, and there was no trace of arrogance and fierceness.

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is my life. Lorist replied lightly, as if he was extremely sure of the fate of the Great Sword Master.

"If you want our lives, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it. "Pike Archswordsman draws his sword out of its sheath.

Lorist raised his hand, the bowstring sounded deafeningly, and four hundred and twenty crossbow arrows whizzed away......

The long sword in Pike's Archswordsman's hand danced in a ball, and the crossbow arrows were knocked out in the shadow of the sword, shattering......

The rain of arrows stopped for a while, and the Pike Great Swordsman was extremely embarrassed, but there were no scars on his body, and he took this wave of arrow rain with one person just now.

As the crossbow hand winded, the Pike Archswordsman roared, turned into lightning, and pounced on Lorlist......

The two were more than twenty meters apart, Lorist smiled coldly, stretched out his hand, and a throwing gun reached the palm of his hand......

The spear screeched and pounced on the oncoming figure at a faster speed, forcing the Pike Swordsman to draw his sword to block it......

"Bang" shattered the spear into pieces, but the Pike swordsman was shocked by the force of the spear and took two steps back......

Pike's great swordsman was shocked, the small throwing spear contained such a great power that he had never touched, but he couldn't be surprised, and the throwing spear thrown by Lorist had already rained down on him, heading towards him......

The "bang, bang, bang" spear throwing sound continued, and the Parker swordsman retreated and blocked, and the sword light was extremely difficult to parry......

"Ah......h

"En......" was the muffled snort of Pike's great swordsman.

After throwing all six shots, Lorlist's face flushed, and he let out a long breath, feeling his hands and feet weak. Throwing seventy-two throwing spears with internal force in one breath is also a bit difficult for him, and he can't do it again in the future, so he has to leave some spare strength to deal with changes from time to time.

Pike's Archswordsman wasn't dead, he had a throwing gun stuck in his left thigh, and another one in his right shoulder, and the most hurt was in the abdomen, and a throwing gun went straight through his back. Able to block Lorist's sixty-nine throwing spears, Pike's Grand Swordsman can be regarded as a super-level performance. It's a pity that there are three more throwing guns that he didn't block......

"You, you didn't give me a chance to play......" Pike Archswordsman muttered, blood gushing from his mouth.......

"I'm not sick, why do I want to fight with you in close quarters, it's too dangerous and dangerous. Pike's voice was small, but Lorist could still hear it clearly, and with a wave of his hand, the sound of crossbow bolts was heard again. Pike's great swordsman suddenly became a hedgehog, and he didn't blink an eyelier.

As for Commander Slov and his two dozen or so retinues, they were already killed and wounded in the first rain of arrows.

"Clean up the battlefield, capture the ships, and cut off the heads of that Slov and this Pike Archswordsman and bring them back. Lorist commanded.
