Chapter 65: Mission
Boom!
The sound of the bowstring of the crossbow machine was constantly sounding.
A black shadow flashed quickly, constantly changing direction, but with a muffled grunt, it had to stop.
Gehr patted his right shoulder, there was a white spot on the black clothes, and he knew that the underside of the clothes might have been red and swollen.
"Ten meters is the limit. β
Several young men stood nearby with crossbow machines, respectfully awaiting Gehr's next order.
"If you are shot by a ballista within ten meters, you can dodge four arrows within five arrows, but even so, as long as you are hit once, then there is no point in dodging more. β
Geer thought to himself, but let the minions retreat another five meters and continue training. After all, now he is just recovering from the agility of his body during the recovery period, so as not to reduce his physical fitness too much due to recuperation, and it would not be worth it if he injured himself again in training.
The minions stepped back as they were told, and then began firing at Gehr's command.
This distance was much easier for Gehr, as long as it was not a continuous covering shot, it was not a big problem to dodge these one-man crossbow machines operated by servants who could only be regarded as ordinary soldier qualities.
After an hour of practice, Gehr, covered in sweat, asked the minions to step down and end the training.
The servants retreated in fear, even if they shot a wooden strip with a round head of cloth with the arrow removed, but against the master who could control their life and death, every time these servants pulled the trigger, their hearts were also up and down, especially the servant who had hit Gehr, and by the end of the training, he was sweating even more than Gehr who had completed the training.
Now Gell let the minions step aside, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Someone, Luna. Gell clapped his hands.
At the edge of the training ground, Luna, the maid who had been waiting there, hurried over.
"Please, sir. β
"I'm going to take a bath, I'm going to get ready. β
"It's good. β
Watching Luna walk away briskly, Gell walked slowly for a moment to dissipate the muscle tension that had occurred after the intense workout before heading towards his personal bathroom.
I have to praise that the manor in the capital is different, the bathroom is not just a boxy confined space made of bricks and stones like in the Winter Twilight Castle, and can only rely on servants to constantly bring water in, and now the personal bathroom of the manor where Geer lives has a large enough bath and an independent heating system, which completely turns bathing into a kind of enjoyment.
An hour later, Gell walked out of the bathroom refreshed, and the exhaustion had disappeared without a trace.
Outside the bathroom, Luna waits quietly.
"My lord, Miss Lucarine is here, waiting for you in the reception room on the first floor. β
"I got it. β
Gehr strode downstairs.
At the same time every day, Lucarin would arrive punctually to report the information, and Gall had become accustomed to it all these days.
"Lucarin, have you found out about that person?"
After a formal salute between his superiors and subordinates, Gehr and Lucarin sat opposite each other.
"There's no word yet, but it's known that their target is Amrock, to the southwest. Lucarine replied.
"Emlock?" Gerr muttered. What he is tracking is the whereabouts of Belif and his party, this is not that he was unconvinced in the last battle and wants to continue to fight, Gehr is not arrogant and thinks that he can now be sure to deal with Belif's strange methods, the problem is that Belif and his party casually looted part of the exhibition collection when they withdrew, and the bronze spear that Gehr cares about very much is in it, this thing will never give up for Gehr.
"Emlock, it's so far away, can you keep up with them?" asked Gell softly.
"It's very troublesome, Amlock was originally the territory of the Philippan Empire, and it has only been occupied by our country for more than ten years, the local people are not attached, and it is also handed over to the territory of the other two major powers, except for a few large strongholds, the rest of the places are actually in a semi-independent state, and it is difficult for our strength to develop there. β
Amlock was originally part of Purpasacra, the core territory of the northwestern Philian Empire. Purpasakla was famous for trade during the Philippan Empire, rich in products and handed over to the other three major powers, and the convoys that came and went in its heyday were claimed to be able to pull out a long line around the borders of the four countries, and the caravans from the eastern and western countries gathered there, and the trading atmosphere was extremely hot, and it has always been known as the golden channel, which can be said to be the most prosperous place in the Philippian Empire and even the entire world.
However, the war changed everything, and the fall of the Philippan Empire caused Pulpasakra to become a big fat piece of meat, and under the constant skirmishes and fierce negotiations, the original golden passage was divided into three parts, which were divided between Konatas, the Chelufe Federation, and the Gantt Empire, and Konatas was assigned to Emlock.
"Say thank you to the invaders who have destroyed the old for us, because they have swept away the dust that has accumulated on Konatas and can welcome the new era with a new look. β
This is a quote from FemoriΓ‘n, the most famous university scholar in San RotarΓ³, and although the words contain irony, they are also true.
Vicious and tyrannical aggressors tend to disrupt the old social order of the invaded country, and as a result, sometimes inject the power of regeneration into that country. The war that nearly destroyed the country gave Konatas a new lease of life, and the clergy and vassal nobles who supported the old system lost their power and were swept away, making Konatas a part of the important power of the world.
Of course, this only proves that Konatas was blessed with luck, and as an example of the opposite, it was the Philippan Empire. The original pole of the world is already yesterday's yellow flower, it has not gained the strength of rebirth like Konatas, but can only grow in decay, except for the Philippian Republican Army, which has been playing the banner of recovering the country but has been doing rogue things, the original appearance of this country has long been buried in history, only those troubadours will occasionally sing its glory, just like those great kingdoms in history that have been wiped out.
The word chaos now best describes the situation in the lands of the former Philippan Empire.
As a region that did not belong to its own country and was in frequent conflict with other countries, and ruled for a short time, the three countries that divided these lands all adopted the same strategy - to ensure the stability of the core area, as long as the other regions paid taxes steadily and did not raise the banner of rebellion, the three countries were not likely to pay attention, in fact, the demarcation line of the three countries was a mess.
In this way, this land that was originally called paradise is now full of bandits and outcasts, plus the remnants of the original Philippan Empire, criminals who fled from all over the country, nobles and priests who have lost their former rights, and mercenaries who are no different from bandits, it can be said that it is a land of chaos, and the probability of death of civilians as long as they leave the protected core area is as high as 50%.
Emrock is a microcosm of the entire Philippan region, and this chaotic situation makes it extremely difficult for the Brotherhood of Steel to develop there.
By the way, most of the annual national missions are arranged in the vast Philippan region, and Amlock is ranked as one of the most difficult regions.
"Is there a way to get more detailed information?"
"If you concentrate all the power in Emlock, it's still possible. Lucarine was silent for a moment, then gave an answer.
Gehr tapped his fingers on the tabletop, and the crisp voice echoed through the closed room for a long time before he continued: "I remember that I had the right to issue an organization-wide mission once this year. β
"Yes, you can post a task once at your own expense, and the task will be distributed to the branches. But the price paid by the task must be worthwhile. β
"According to the information in the organization, the martial arts that can touch the threshold of the Great Knight are all secrets. β
"Yes, the value of this martial art is very high, and there are always people in the organization who want to get it, and the top few people on the highest bounty list are all this kind of task, but very few people can complete it. β
Gehr nodded, based on such a long period of research, he had already understood the difference between the Great Knight Martial Arts and ordinary martial arts, the most important of which was the basic breathing method that Gehr obtained when he first obtained the Thorn Sword Technique. The characteristic of the Great Knight Martial Arts is that they produce energy similar to the basic breathing method that can purify the body during practice, while ordinary martial arts do not. The basic breathing method is separated from the thorn sword technique by Gehr using the analysis module, and simply practicing the basic breathing method will bring a lot of pressure to the internal organs of the body, just like Sophia must rest after practicing for half an hour, and this will not be the case if she practices the whole set of martial arts.
But this kind of martial arts is not a big road goods, there are very few, and the people who have it should be hidden like a treasure, and more importantly, the practice of this martial art is not to say that you can learn it by reading this cheats, there must be a person who is proficient in the martial arts to guide and correct on the side, otherwise it is almost impossible to practice, and forced practice will only cause irreparable damage to the practitioner's body, unless there is Gehr's ability, which is the core of the value of the great knight's martial arts.
"Then put a reward, the person who can get back the spirit sacrifice of Famis, I will teach him a set of great knight martial arts and give him guidance, and if you can find relevant clues, you will give a monetary reward. β
The Sacrifice of Philis is the official name of the bronze spear, and what Gehr decided to take out was the Liverani sword technique, which came from the Amber members of the Insistence Order, which was of little value to him, and he would not practice it, and he would not feel sorry for throwing it out as a task reward, at most he would spend more time guiding the practice. Originally, he was still worried about the mysterious Ratchford Assassin Academy behind this set of martial arts, but he had a strong hunch that as long as he could obtain the Philimis Spirit Sacrifice, then his biological brain energy core could be completely repaired, so he couldn't care so much at this time.
When she heard that Gehr could teach the Great Knight martial arts, Lucarin's eyes flashed: "It's good." β
