13. The First Battle
The flames crackled in the dim room.
Zhang Qi held a small sharpened wooden stick and picked the beef between his teeth.
He's already finished eating.
Two baked fragrant dough cakes with a large cup of beef and carrot soup are called a soothing.
There is no bowl or anything, and even the spoons in the hands of the two people who are cooking there now are Zhang Qi who doesn't know where they came.
After simmering the wine glass in the water tank, Zhang Qi handed him back to the tavern owner who had been staring at him.
Sogar and the Imperial recruits were still cooking, holding the pot and eating.
A large pot full of soup and water was wiped out by him in two.
After eating and drinking, Zhang Qi took a short rest, and just as sleepiness swept over, he stood up directly and shouted twice at the two NPCs who were stunned.
"Let's go, the iron is gone!"
If you want to refine all the 15 pieces of iron ore, it will take at least two days to rely on Suojiaer alone, there is no way, the limit is there, Zhang Qi can't break it, either make more money and let Suojiaer do it, or earn less, Zhang Qi is tired and becomes a dog.
The three of them walked quickly to the blacksmith shop, the imperial recruits moved things, Suojiaer refined wrought iron, and Zhang Qi made two-handed swords.
The division of labor is clear and the efficiency is amazing.
There was a clanging in the blacksmith's shop.
Knowing that Suojiaer had exhausted his physical strength this time, Zhang Qi had also created more than a dozen two-handed swords.
As for the iron ore, it consumes only about two dozen pieces, and there are more than a hundred left.
Sending Suojiaer and the two to continue to the arena, Zhang Qi hurriedly went to sell the two-handed sword.
With this sale, his dinar reached more than 8,000.
After selling the two-handed sword, Zhang Qi was not idle, he had taken the time to build a handle axe for himself, Suojiaer was recovering his strength in the arena, and he was carrying an axe to select the door panels, tables, and trees of the townspeople's houses in the town.
Time passed quickly, two days passed in a blink of an eye, and Zhang Qi had also passed ten hours since the last time he went out.
Counting the time, the outside world should be around four o'clock in the morning by now.
There are still four or five hours before the escape time, that is, four or five days in the world of riding and slashing.
One hundred and fifty pieces of iron ore turned into four hundred and fifty pieces of wrought iron in Suojiaer's hands, and these four hundred and fifty pieces of wrought iron were made into one hundred and thirteen two-handed swords in Zhang Qi's hands.
The town of 'Epicrothea' couldn't eat so much, and by the time Zhang Qi sold it to the fortieth handful, the price had already begun to shrink considerably.
The total number of dinars is twenty-four, and the remaining seventy-three are to build a two-handed sword!
Charcoal is innumerable.
Zhang Qi, whose face was covered with black and ash, washed his face on the edge of the river outside the city, and the sun sprinkled on his face warmly.
Sogar and the Imperial Shooter.
That's right, the imperial recruit was upgraded, in the arena, he really stepped on the shit, K reached a warrior with residual blood, and after he was eliminated, Zhang Qi promoted him.
The level of upgrading is the same as in the game, and the Imperial recruits are replaced with new equipment, leather armor, leather boots, cloth hats, hunting bows, arrows, and spikes.
In addition to the eyes of the upgraded Imperial Archers who are as dull as before, they also have the aura of a soldier on their bodies.
At least now he has some combat power.
Three people, the morale is as high as 79, this is in the game, if you don't fight to the last one, Zhang Qi's side will not surrender.
is also the same, Zhang Qi also has the idea of going out, an archer, a shield and sword warrior, plus Zhang Qi, a high-IQ talent equipped with a crossbow, as long as he does not encounter a dozen or twenty bandits, robbers with less than five people are sure to win.
Shaking his head, droplets of water were scattered everywhere in the sunlight.
Zhang Qi put the chain mail hat on his head and buckled it, turned over and mounted his horse, and the few men headed towards Xiao Nong, which was closest to 'Epicrothea'.
Three people and four horses, the more travel horse was specially used to transport things, seventy-three two-handed swords added up to more than 500 catties, in order not to affect the speed, Zhang Qi bought one more.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the road to Shonon was not easy to walk, and the kingdom of Badania was located on a plateau, at a much higher latitude than other countries.
So Zhang Qi and the others walked on rugged mountain roads, and these mountains and forests were simply a paradise for bandits.
During the half-day journey, Zhang Qi and the others encountered at least a dozen bandit gangs, and with the help of horse speed, they avoided a lot.
In the mountains and forests, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly became noisy.
Zhang Qi looked up vigilantly, only to see countless flags with spiral emblems erected from the mountains and forests.
"Karadog?"
"This posture, the number is no less than three hundred, this is going to war?"
Caradoge is the ruler of Badania, with the most powerful army in Batania, and without Zhang Qi looking closely, the iconic bear skins and bright rings of the Fiona champion shooters are enough to blind his eyes.
With a wave of his hand, Zhang Qi commanded the archers of the Suojiaer Empire and the two of them led the horses and leaned against the inside of the mountain wall, he was not afraid of what Karadogg would do to him, before he joined any force, as long as he had no criminal record, then no country on the continent would take the initiative to attack him.
The reason why Zhang Qi pulled the two of them against the mountain wall was because of the march of an army of more than 300 people, and there would inevitably be countless bandit groups fleeing, and if those bandits collided with Zhang Qi, it would inevitably be a battle.
Although Zhang Qi has been fighting in the arena for a long time, it is inevitable that he is still a little nervous when it comes to the moment of real swords and guns.
Zhang Qi secretly thought in his heart that Karadog's team hurried over, but perhaps the atmosphere was set here, and an eight- or nine-person robber who was dodging Karadog's troops collided head-on towards Zhang Qi's side.
"Karadoge Labor GNNN!"
Thousands of hiding, I didn't expect that my first battle was actually coerced by the NPC lord who once thought he was a free bodyguard.
I was so angry in my heart, but Zhang Qi also set up the crossbow.
Needless to say, when it came to the battle, the two NPCs next to him reacted faster than him.
The Imperial archers had already bent their bows and arrows to aim at the rushing robbers and began to shoot.
And Sogar also put the shield on his back in his hand, and walked in front of the two with a sword and shield.
The calmness of the two NPCs slightly affected Zhang Qi, and he also felt a lot more relaxed in his heart.
Without thinking too much, Zhang Qi also buckled the crossbow into the wooden light crossbow.
Holding the body of the light crossbow in his hand, the trigger device of this light crossbow is not the trigger type in Zhang Qi's influence but the pulling type that needs to be pressed up with the entire palm, although he has practiced fixed targets in the town for a period of time, but at this moment, in the face of those running robbers, Zhang Qi's first shot still failed.
