14. Train towards an intermediate knight

On the morning of September 30, 996, Albert was working on a new count.

On the night of the 29th, after following Rand to attack the Twin Tribes, Riabel continued to take the small tribe 10 kilometers to the west, which was the only tribe scheduled to be attacked that night.

The course of the attack was still very smooth, and not only that, but Rand showed the sense of responsibility of the lord after that:

After the attack, he sent some of the knights back to the last captured Twin Tribe, and asked the demon supporters in the camp to pass on the order, and after dawn, the three camps were combined.

Before dawn, Rohr, who had stayed in the small camp, escorted the entire camp to join the twin camps.

According to Albert's statistics, the conquered barbarian camps in two days combined for 27 black-scaled horses, 36 pack beasts, 24 tents, 119 sheep, 109 demons, and 53 gold coins.

So far, the Rand has obtained more livestock in 2 days than the Barony of Galloping Horse has done business over the years, and the number of people rescued and captured by the Barony is more than half of the Barony's territory.

According to the minimum aristocratic standards, as long as Rand can break through to the middle level of knighthood, he can independently develop the barony's territory.

At this moment, Albert seriously thought for the first time, whether the Barony of the Galloping Horse should really be handed over to Rand, who is now a junior knight and can barely inherit the title of baron, but Rand has shown strong potential and management ability.

If Rand can break through during this time, it can open up new baronies in the future.

Albert's mind drifted far away, and he was already beginning to think about where to set up a new barony fiefdom, where to find earth magicians to help build a castle, and how to find low-level knights who were looking for their lord's home.

And now Rand is still in the process of growing his body, and he needs more demonic beast meat to replenish his physical strength and fighting spirit.

However, Rand himself doesn't seem to realize the importance of Warcraft meat, and always likes to distribute the Warcraft meat he obtains to a few low-level knights.

Staying up late at night to attack two camps in a row, and then returning to the first twin camp to rest, Rand was tired enough this night.

At this moment, Rand had just gotten up, and today was the latest day since he came to this world, but now Rand was thinking, what happened to the two kneeling demonless girls on the edge of the bed?

"Is there something wrong with you two?"

"Lord Albert, let us serve you well," the two girls replied

“。。。” Rand was silent for a while, "Today, we are going to have a joint camp in several camps, and there will be about 300 people to get together at that time, and there will be a lot of people."

Go and find some of the stewards in the tents, and let them come to me. ”

"Yes," the two girls then came out of the tent.

Rand knew that the demon bearers in this world had great privileges, after all, after becoming a demon supporter, there would be a qualitative change in terms of size, strength, and lifespan.

In Rand's hometown, a survey of primates was conducted and found that if the size gap between males and females at the individual level in a primate group is larger, the more polygamy will occur in the population.

The demon supporters of this world have multiple spouses, both men and women, and from a certain point of view, the "one household" of the human race is a demon supporter, its partner, and its children.

For the demon lovers, they are truly the same species, and the ordinary demons-free are nothing more than creatures that are protected by them and serve them.

Whether on the battlefield or in peacetime, demon-supporters will always respect each other, for example, whether it is Rohr or Rand, if you want to mobilize a demon-free person who is not your own family, you must discuss it with the corresponding demon supporter householder.

Terrans often fight against each other, and they also respect the principle of non-lethal killing, and keep each other's hands on each other.

Even in families made up of demon-goers, male and female demon-goers will have their own non-demonic companions.

In a word, the relationship between the demon supporters is very equal, and the non-demon ones are just vassals of the demon owners, and all relationships come from strength.

Over the course of a few days, Rand looked at the demons and their families around him, like groups of curly-haired baboons, each with a leading baboon, and the rest were either his wife or his children.

Now that Rand has become a demon supporter, he does not intend to give up the privileges of demon supporters, but this group of barbarian demons-free people, can they maintain good hygiene, and they can't open their eyes when they smell each other.

Of course, the more important point is that the girl who claimed to serve her by the bedside was the girl next to the tribal leader who was cut down by Rand on the bed at the time, and Rand still remembered that the blood of the barbarian leader sprayed her all over, even if she didn't have a psychological shadow, Rand still had it.

Soon the leader of several demonsless people came to Rand's camp, which was the most prestigious of the 61 demonsless who had been captured the night before.

Rand decided to find something to do for these people, first he asked them to count the cooks, cobblers, armor maintainers, weavers, spinning threads, carpenters, stonemasons, grooms, and other people in the camp.

Then count all the literate people among the demonsless, and bring all the 20 children together, and find literate and child-rearing women to take care of them in a unified manner.

Finally, everyone in the camp washed their clothes, bathed, and dug sanitary trenches. At present, the main camp has not been brought over, and there are some specific divisions of labor that will be carried out after the joint camp.

Rand finished arranging the work, just as Rohr and Albert came to find him.

"Rand, do you have time now?" Albert asked very kindly, Albert would call Rand a Lord, Lord Rand or Baron in front of other lords and knights, but would call Rand by his first name when he saw him alone.

"Uncle Albert, what's the matter?" At this time, Rand also knew that this was Albert to teach some knowledge, so he also treated Albert with special courtesy.

"I've consulted with Rohr and think that in addition to managing the affairs of the territory, you should also step up the training of knights.

Although under Imperial law, junior knights could also inherit the title of baron, but for the pioneer barons, junior knights alone could not survive on the frontier. ”

"Actually, I also want to discuss this matter with you today, I tried to condense the fighting qi when I first broke through, but I always felt that it was very laborious to condense, and I couldn't release it.

My father used to teach us a lot of basic tricks, such as assault, slashing, and so on. But I think it's hard to succeed when I apply it with fighting energy, and even if I succeed occasionally, I will become very weak. ”

In the past few days, Rand also hopes to use his fighting spirit to release some tricks by practicing.

For example, the most traditional assault is to use Dou Qi to accelerate the body, and there are many variations of this trick, such as using a shield to attach Dou Qi to shield while moving at high speed.

However, the magical turbulence on the Galloping Horse Plains made it difficult for Rant's fighting energy to condense, making it difficult for Rand to practice and use his moves.

In the environment where the magic elements are mixed, the human body needs a longer time to absorb the magic elements and condense the magic elements into fighting energy, as a low-level knight who has just broken through, Rand has little fighting energy stored in his body, and the reabsorption is slow, so once the fighting energy is released, the body will directly feel weak.

Now the fastest way to replenish Rand's fighting spirit is to eat Warcraft meat, and in the past few days, under Albert's care, all the knights have given up the Warcraft meat newly captured a few days ago to Rand.

Everyone knew that if they wanted to win the battle in the future, they had to help Rand improve their strength, and to preserve him was to preserve the entire territory.

"Actually, there is another way to gather fighting spirit," Albert said solemnly.

"Oh, by meditation?" Rand came interested.

"The principle of meditation and cultivation is similar, both of which are to gather magical elements from the environment into the body."

"Which method is that?"

"Since it is difficult to gather the magical elements in the environment, gather the magical elements that have already condensed."

"Condensed? Blue... Potions? Rand almost said the blue bottle.

"It's one, but it's an ordinary potion for magicians to replenish their magical powers, and knights can drink it, but the absorption effect is very poor. Knights have special potions for vindictiveness. ”

"But now we don't have any!"

"Yes, there is no ready-made drug, but there is a natural one"

"Oh my God... You're not going to say those crystals, are you? ”

"Yes, the magic crystal can inefficiently replenish the fighting energy"

"That's a lot of money."

"Yes, but there is no other way now"

Then Luo Er and Albert gave Rand a very simple method of replenishing the fighting energy, holding the magic crystal and mobilizing the fighting energy into the palm of his hand, and using the fighting energy to fuse the magic power in the magic crystal into the body, which can accelerate the replenishment of the body's fighting energy.

Of course, there are many problems with this method, such as the efficiency is too low, generally the monsters with the magic core, they can use multiple magic or moves, but the fighting energy supplemented with the magic crystal can only use 1-2 moves.

But now the rand has no choice, the only consolation is that the rand now has a lot of magic crystals, 27, and each camp will have more or less a few magic crystals.

Last night, Rand had decided to move all the camps to the location of the twin camps, which was equivalent to choosing a compromise among the three camps, which was 20 kilometers away from the nearest medium-sized barbarian camp.

Considering that in the absence of the main force, the barbarians will reduce the scope of their daily vigilance, and the location is now very safe.

Before the old camp came to meet, Rand spent 5 magic crystals to test the method that Albert and Rohr said about using magic crystals to replenish their fighting energy.

On his first attempt, Rand found that holding the spar in his hand and simply wrapping the fighting energy around the hedron would leak a lot of magic power, and once the magic power in the magic crystal escaped into the air, it would be blown away by the turbulence.

Rand even felt that the flow of this magic was very much in line with certain laws of fluid mechanics.

After having an experience, Rand immediately decided to adjust his approach. In the absorption of the second magic crystal, he tried to let his Dou Qi form some kind of vortex to wrap the crystal, that is, to let the Dou Qi continue to circulate on the palm of his hand. This adjustment had a slight effect, at least the mana was far less radiant than the first time.

Rand decided that such an attempt would work, so on the third attempt, Rand tried to keep speeding up the cycle.

The mana stored by the magic crystal is not very abundant, and the fast running Dou Qi itself will also consume the Dou Qi, and there is a vague balance between consumption and increasing efficiency.

After another attempt, Rand felt that he had found a balance that he could accept.

Absorbing 3-4 Magic Crystals, Rand practiced several tricks given to him by his father, Huck: Assault, Slash, Jump, and finally tried to attach Fighting Qi to the saber to improve the armor of the lower split.

Thanks to the replenishment of 5 magic crystals, Rand successfully released 7 moves one after another.

After releasing it all, Rand absorbed a magic crystal one last time with the best Dou Qi running speed he had tried, and then ended this training.

It is very expensive to use magic crystals to replenish your fighting qi in this way, but this is a battle with the barbarians, every battle is a life and death, and it is far better to use magic crystals to win than to be cut down by the other party due to lack of fighting energy.

According to Rohr's experience, although the physical fitness of the barbarians can reach the intermediate knights, if the junior knights can use the tricks brought by the aggressive spirit, it will not be a problem to fight against ordinary barbarians.

In the future, on the road to the Galloping Horse Plains, Rand will definitely face the moment of facing the barbarians head-on, and now he must practice the skill of magic crystal to replenish his fighting qi.

"Albert? I want to ask, do we knights have any gods of our own? After training, Rand casually asked Albert.

In his memory, the knight would pray to a knight god during prayer and before charging, but he didn't remember that there was a temple or altar of the knight god.

"Of course, the god of knights and magicians is the god of all knight lords"

"Then we don't need to worship?"

"We protect the people and worship best"

"Don't you have to pay tribute?"

“。。。。” At this moment, Rand felt the way Albert looked at him, as if the teacher was looking at a scumbag

"Your dad didn't tell you this?"

"What?"

"The God Emperor is the god of knights and magicians!"

"What? God-Emperor? He... He... ”

"As I said, the God-Emperor ascended to the God's rank when he ascended the throne for 50 years, and by that time the God-Emperor had already explored the legendary rank system and became the god of knights and magicians."

"Then why is it still the God Emperor Era now?"

"After that, the Divine Emperor reigned, and the Divine Emperor served as the Imperial Emperor until 725, when he decided to pass on his throne to his great-great-grandson, the legendary Archmage Zhang Chen, who is the emperor today."

Wow, this is a god who really knows how to play. has been an emperor for more than 700 years, and has retreated behind the scenes for 250 years, it is really a matter of watching the iron hooves and stepping on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, he has really lived for a thousand years.

Rand was really speechless in surprise, no wonder there is no need to make offerings to the god of knights, isn't it fragrant to collect taxes directly, isn't it fragrant to monopolize salt and iron, and isn't it fragrant to raise legends.

A long procession was marching to the south, which was Rand's main camp, and after nearly a morning of waiting, several camps finally converged.
