Chapter 070: Young Sword Master
With two months to go before the agreed time, the Otto Empire had already sent an official letter inviting all relevant non-commissioned officers and commanders to Senta City to discuss the details of the joint exercise.
Contrary to Qi Lang's expectations, he also became one of the members of the delegation attending the meeting. Because this task he was not happy to accept came too suddenly, and at the same time he lacked knowledge of the etiquette of the envoy, so that when he went on the road, he found that Dodim and Maggie were both dressed in generous and proper dresses, and Felix, who was followed by Lieutenant Colonel William, was wearing a luxurious tuxedo, as noble as a prince. Only Captain Quill was still in a military uniform, but his steel armor was quite imposing. Qi Lang was wearing a coarse linen robe, and he looked like a slave in charge of leading horses.
After being taunted by Felix for two or three days, the caring Captain Dodim finally rescued Qi Lang. When passing through the village of Hamen, he spent thirty-five Bernies to buy a set of fine white linen robes, which Qi Lang wore on his body, and more or less the appearance of an envoy.
Senta City was a small border city of the Otto Empire, adjacent to Mesburg on the border of the Luhmann Empire, and was also considered a military town. Of course, since the relationship between the two countries is currently in a hypocritical honeymoon period, there is still no sign of any preparation for war here in Senta City, but the merchants and residents seem to be too strong, and their eyes are dodgy, as if they are deliberately hiding the irrefutable anger.
Ever since the moment he set foot on this land, Qi Lang's face had been gloomy, as if he was ready to raise the Holy Blood Bow and shoot a few arrows at the gang of wicked people. Holding the same attitude as Qi Lang, there was also Captain Quill, if it wasn't for Dodim who had been guarding him carefully, he would have clashed with the talkative guards of the city.
Otto's side of the Empire was in charge of the reception, Lieutenant Vignes, a middle-aged non-commissioned officer with a pale face, tall and tall not much worse than Quill, but his demeanor and demeanor were something that Quill could never surpass, and even if he was arrogant, he looked slightly superior. When he had led the Luman delegation to the hotel and settled down, he only nodded lightly to Lieutenant Colonel William, and then turned away without saying a word. Quill was so angry that his nose was crooked, but his scolding was only exchanged for a reprimand from Lieutenant William and a roll of Lieutenant Nurse's eyes.
As the two senior generals were to meet formally early the next morning, Captain Dodim issued a notice on behalf of Lieutenant Colonel William, asking all the members to rest as soon as possible, be prepared, and recuperate, so that they could show the demeanor of Luhmann soldiers in the next day's meeting. As the only two sergeant soldiers in the mission, Qi Lang was assigned to the same room as Felix. After comparison, Qi Lang finally realized that Ou Wu was such an easy-to-get along roommate.
"Please go to the bathroom and take a good shower twice before you come back, Mr. Vice-Captain. Felix sat on the bed near the window, and although he thought he had taken a more moderate tone, the contempt and disgust in it was palpable, "You pollute the air in this house, and you smell it, it is full of the smell of livestock, and it makes me feel as if I have arrived in our stable." β
Of course, Qi Lang didn't pay attention to Felix's malicious slander, and he didn't think Felix's lavender smell would be pleasant, compared to Ou Wu, who was covered in stinky sweat, was undoubtedly more manly. Without saying a word, he collapsed on the small bed at the door, intending to confront the noble rich man in silence.
At this moment, the door was suddenly knocked open very impolitely, and a handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes rushed in!
"Hands up, you're captured!"
He let out a menacing shout, the long sword in his hand glowing blue, pointing straight at Felix's tall nose!
Qi Lang reacted immediately: This is a trap! The Otto Empire intends to use this opportunity to wipe out the high-ranking military leaders of Xia Qi Town!
"These villains, they really don't have a good heart!" Qi Lang scolded quickly in his heart, and his movements were even faster.
"Qiang!" the catylody dagger is out of its sheath!
Qi Lang pounced, and in the blink of an eye, he stabbed out two swords in succession towards the opponent's chest and ribs!
The young man let out a "huh" in surprise, but his swordsmanship moves came faster!
"Ding!dang!" Two accurate blocks blocked Qi Lang's attack, and at the same time, he turned sideways and shook the long sword, and the tip of the sword was already on Qi Lang's throat!
Qi Lang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat - the other party could easily dissolve these two sword moves as soon as he raised his hand, and he didn't seem to have even looked at it, he had already predicted the direction of the short sword attack in advance! Look at his age of fourteen or fifteen years old, he didn't expect that he had already reached such a level in swordsmanship, it seems that the Otto Empire has already made careful arrangements here, and Captain Dodim is afraid that they will be more than lucky!
However, just as Qi Lang was thinking about what to do, the situation changed dramatically.
"Not bad, mid-tier warrior!" the young man grinned and withdrew his sword, but as he spoke, his eyes were on Felix, "My dear little Philly, it looks like you're doing pretty well, even your followers are already at this level?"
"Hey, Gouie, it's you bastard!" Felix seemed to have just come back to his senses, and the panic in his eyes quickly hidden, "I didn't expect to meet you here, how long have we not seen each other, five years?"
"Four years and three months, to be exact. The young man named Gu Yi grinned at Qi Lang in response, and said hello, and he walked up to Felix excitedly, hugged him warmly, and punched each other a few times before laughing and saying, "I miss every minute I spent in Shachi, I really wish my uncle would send troops to conquer your Luman Empire sooner, and then I will definitely pester him to come over North Lelicum as my territory." β
Felix was stunned for a moment, and there seemed to be a hint of anger in his eyes, but he immediately realized that it was a joke, and punched Gu Yi in the chest again, and laughed as well: "The braggart king is dreaming again, and you haven't changed your old problem?"
As soon as Gu Yi turned around and sat down on Felix's bed, he waved his hand at Qi Lang like a master, motioning for him to sit back calmly, and then talked to Felix again: "I heard that you just mixed up with the captain of the Whirling Force, but you are really useless." Uncle William was disappointed by thisβI just came from himβhow was the battle level progressing?, if not surprisingly, you must be a high-level warrior like me, right?"
Felix smiled awkwardly: "It's not that strong...... But it's pretty much the same. β
"You're a good opponent, then. Gu Yi was eager to try again, and the chance to compete with the best was probably what he cared about the most.
But Felix forcibly held him down: "You kid, you want to spy on the military, I won't let you succeed." β
The two of them sat there like this for a long time, and most of the things they talked about were some troubles between each other when they were young, and they looked at their unshy posture, as if they really regarded Qi Lang as a personal entourage.
Qi Lang, who had a false alarm, sat bored for a long time and took the initiative to close his ears. Felix's cheeky braggadocio really made him feel a fever on his face.
Taking this opportunity, Qi Lang carefully recalled the two moves he had with that Gu Yi just now: his sword was accurate and fast at that time, but due to the length and weight of Xiang Jin's sword, those two swords did not fully exert their strongest power, but that was not the point - the key was the opponent's response! He seemed to be very familiar with Qi Lang's moves, so much so that the block counterattack seemed to be completely subconscious, and it was obvious that it took thousands of drills to become proficient to that level, and the move he counterattacked was definitely not the way that Caucasian people were good at!
That's like ......
Qi Lang was suddenly startled in his heart, and involuntarily looked at Gu Yi. At this moment, Gu Yi also happened to look over and shouted unceremoniously: "Hey, I said, come to the front desk and ask us for two glasses of water." Ice water, the cold and cold kind, you understand, right?"
The anger in Qi Lang's heart burned suddenly. "Hey, I mean, you seem to have mistaken someone. He frowned and replied unceremoniously, "There are no retinues here, only soldiers from the Whirling Front!"
"Oh?" Guy squinted and tilted his chin as he glanced at Felix as he stood up haughtily, "Looks like I was rude just now." I thought a man of your color was just a slave, but I didn't expect it to be a proud Spiral Soldier. β
Qi Lang stared back at those green eyes without fear, took two steps forward, and said-for-tat: "I accept your apology." At the same time, I would like to apologize to you, because I also misunderstood you and thought that you were a child who had not yet escaped from your mother's arms. β
Gu Yi was obviously annoyed by Qi Lang's words, and his gaze became extremely fierce, as if he would pull out his sword at any moment and poke a few bloody holes in Qi Lang's chest. But he couldn't help it, and instead laughed inexplicably: "Soldier, take it easy." We, the Otto Empire, are your friendly neighbors, we're friends, aren't we? β
He patted Felix on the shoulder again and smiled, "I'm really impressed." As you proclaim, the Luman Empire is so big-hearted that anyone who is homeless can find a safe haven in King Henry's territory. β
