Chapter 6 The Examination Begins
Hubert didn't know why he chose to believe Allen, in fact, he knew very well what his son was, but when he saw Allen's confident expression, Hubert couldn't help but make a choice, because he thought about it, even if Allen didn't know Guò during the assessment, then he would immediately ask Dylan to take his bags and follow Allen to escape here.
He didn't sleep well all night last night, Hubert got up early in the morning and made careful arrangements, and then led the group to the examination field designated by the baron, this time he brought all the soldiers he could bring, more than a hundred people in all.
Alan thinks that this father's actions are too exaggerated, just an assessment, as for such a big show...... I'll be embarrassed in that case......
This is the baron's private hunting area, surrounded by forest farms, but this time for the sake of assessment, the forest farm seems to have made some small changes, he divided the forest farm into ten sections according to the area, and the middle is all separated by railings, forming ten independent areas, and the exit has been full of heavily armed guards.
Obviously, they are not the first wave of people, since there are ten regions, then it means that in this assessment, in the entire barony's territory, in addition to the Pirka territory, there will be several people in the other two knights' territories who will come to the assessment.
"Ten people?" Hubert muttered quietly, "in previous years, there were only seven at most. ”
"Ten people, is it a lot?" Li Yunyang was a little puzzled, in his understanding, the assessment was like an exam, and this was still an exam once a year, so it should be about the same as thousands or hundreds.
"The assessment of swordsmen is not so easy, our territory, including the neighborhood, is a poor place, most of the powerful people have gone to other places, and most of the people who can stay are those who are ready to serve the baron. Hubert turned his head and explained softly to Li Yunyang: "And most people would rather choose farming than to assess what swordsmen and swordsmen, and live a ......life that will lose their heads at any time."
Before he finished speaking, his father was interrupted by the scene in front of him, and saw nearly twenty people in front of him, led by a middle-aged man wearing silver armor, about thirty years old, with a broadsword on his back, so powerful!
Most of the dozen or so people behind him were also heavily armed and carrying heavy swords, but what surprised Hubert was not these warriors, but a familiar figure following closely behind the middle-aged man led by him-Elif!
"Elif!" Li Yunyang could feel Hubert's whole body trembling slightly in front of him. "You traitor, I've always treated you like a brother!"
"Hehe, I'm sorry, Lord Hubert, I can only repay your kindness when I have time. I don't know if it was guilt or fear of Hubert, Ilick, who was hiding behind the middle-aged man, just poked his head out slightly to look at Hubert and Allen.
"Hubert, is it?" The middle-aged man led by him ignored Iliv behind him, but just looked at Hubert in front of him with interest who was riding on a horse but had lost a hand or a foot, and said, "Isn't it good to move out obediently?
"My lord, why bother to tell him so much, I have already counted his family's property, just wait for the adult to take over, the small one will be presented to you with both hands, and never let the adult's money be taken away. Looking at Ilick's flattering expression nodding behind his back, Li Yunyang was really angry, he didn't expect that this brother, whom his father called him, would actually betray him at a critical time.
"Son of a bitch, I'll kill you!" Hubert's face darkened with anger, for the first time in so many years, the soldiers who followed him heard him scold, watching Hubert pull out the heavy sword tied behind him, and several loyal soldiers desperately stopped the war horse.
"Stop!" With an angry shout, a middle-aged man in black armor led hundreds of soldiers to the middle of them.
"Meet the Baron!" all of them knelt on one knee in a standard samurai manner, and Hubert could not dismount, but only bowed with one hand on his stomach.
"Everyone is their own people, why make a big fuss, and I'm not afraid that outsiders will see jokes. Baron Ronald rode on the black war horse and glanced around with his afterglow, and continued: "Everyone is here, let's start, there are a total of ten people in today's assessment, and there is only one rule for the assessment, that is, each enters an area, hunts the second-level demonic beast and brings the corpse back here, and the successful one will be awarded the title of swordsman." ”
"Also, Alan and Barrett, you two are special. The baron looked at Alan and the silver-armored swordsman and said, "Your original rules remain the same, but since you are participating in the examination for the knighthood, then the two of you will see who kills the monster first and who brings it back first, and the one who arrives first will give the knighthood on the spot and manage the Pirka territory for the official." ”
"However, honorable Lord Baron, you didn't mean that as long as Alan succeeds in advancing to the rank of swordsman......" Hearing the baron's arrangement, Hubert panicked, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the baron.
"Hubert. Johnson Knight, are you condemning the unfairness of this officer?"
"The subordinates don't dare!"
"Then let's start, there are ten intersections ahead, one for each person, you choose. The baron pointed to the entrances guarded by the soldiers and said, "There is only one level 2 demonic beast in each area, come on, my warriors!"
As soon as the words fell, Barrett was the first to rush into one of the intersections, scolding shamelessly, and Li Yunyang also trotted all the way into the other intersection with a heavy sword on his back.
Don't look at it being divided into ten parts, only to find out after entering that the forest is big! Looking at the quiet woods, Li Yunyang beat a drum in his heart, he wanted to pull out the heavy sword behind his back, but he gave up in an instant, and secretly pinched the two lightning bullets in his hand, compared to this heavy and deadly broken sword, he still has a sense of security in his hand!
Walking cautiously for a few minutes, seeing that there was not even a bird calling in the dark woods, Li Yunyang felt furious in his heart, and always felt that this beast was hiding behind a certain tree, ready to sneak attack him.
No, it's not a way to find it like this, Li Yunyang thought so in his heart, but he immediately seemed to have a good idea.
"Hey--the beasts inside, listen! You have been surrounded, immediately put down your claws, come out and surrender! Confess leniently, resist strictly......" After shouting, Li Yunyang clenched the lightning bullet in his hand, his eyes looked at the six directions, his ears listened to all directions, and his spirit was concentrated like never before.
1 minute passed......
2 minutes passed......
Li Yunyang cautiously continued to move forward, but except for the rustle of his own steps, there was no other sound in the forest......
"Livestock are livestock, I can't understand human words!" Li Yunyang reluctantly pouted, and then learned the cry of a tiger, and yelled at the depths of the forest.
