Chapter 174: Josia's Metamorphosis
Bran has had a particularly long winter this year. By now, though, the temperature has slipped from the coldest top. But from time to time, the frosty wind and the misty rain are telling the world that spring is still far away!
And it's not just the climate, but also the hearts of the people in the north who sometimes feel a little cooler...... This concern comes mainly from the front. For nearly two months, the fighting there was largely known.
This attack of the Northern Wilderness tribe is obviously not like the autumn wind in previous years, plundering some grain and leaving. They start by occupying the first level and rapidly radiate their way forward. Relying on the strong troops, he quickly captured some of the surrounding checkpoints and small towns. For these towns, the barbarians of previous years would generally destroy them after plundering them. But now they are sending people to hold on, and even capture the people prisoners to build high walls. As soon as the occupied places were connected in series, they seemed to form a semi-circular front.
By this time, everyone knew that the barbarians had great plans. This situation has escalated into a formal war between the two countries.
Naturally, this kind of engagement has existed before, and it has not been short-lived. The longest recorded war was more than a decade ago, and the war lasted for more than three years. The two sides fought in the north in the dark, the blood flowed like a river, and Zuihou ended with the sudden retreat of the northern wilderness tribes. Later, the people of Bran learned that it was because of the death of the patriarch of the Northern Wilderness Imperial Family, the Heavenly Wolf Clan.
The people don't know how long this battle will last, but one thing is certain: their days will be more difficult and dangerous......
......
Of course, this news has little to do with Donn, who is about to arrive at the station.
Several horse-drawn carriages swayed on the winding mountain road for two and a half days. Don finally got over the itching pain of the wound that was healing in the early stages. The next step is to recuperate for a few days.
Done is undoubtedly in a better situation now than Boris and the others who live in the treatment hall. The other party was still changing gauze at this time. Looking at the wound, he crossed his fingers and counted the date of departure.
If you put aside Donn's current perverted physique, the main reason for this is blood. Bowes's domineering fighting spirit entered his body, but in a moment, he was neutralized by the consumed blood qi. But Donn's flesh invaded, and that hurt Bowis and them. This thing can only be forcibly driven out of the body with a fighting spirit, but as soon as the fighting qi is lucky, the external gauze will burst, and then the wound that has just healed will also collapse...... Bowies their treatment the other day. It's like going back and forth in purgatory, and it's painful!
"Once you've crossed this mountain, you're almost there, right?" asked David, turning his head as he looked at the mountains that were becoming more familiar.
"Yes!" Michau nodded, reining in the reins to let the horse go around the rocks in the road.
The rugged mountain roads and the occasional rolling of rocks made it difficult for the carriage to travel.
When David heard this, he sighed: "It's a pity, my group of boys haven't trained enough." ”
"Hehe!" Mi Xiu suddenly chuckled twice and pursed his lips, "It's useless in training." ”
"Your mother. What do you mean?" said David, who suddenly exploded, and yelled against Michaeu's face.
"It's not interesting. Michaeu was unmoved. Still said lightly, "Our team won yesterday's competition. ”
"I'm sorry for you to say it. David's forehead was bruised, and he turned his head disdainfully, "You just stepped on the shit, and the scale of the bandits we encountered is quite large." ”
"Luck is also a form of strength...... However, I also understand that losers always like to find all kinds of reasons to hide their incompetence. ”
“...... Mixiu, your uncle!"
"My uncle died a long time ago. ”
“......”
Listening to the scolding outside with a raised voice, Josia in the carriage blinked a little uneasily: "Don, this will be fine, right...... Will they fight?"
The corners of Tang En's mouth, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, twitched slightly, opened his eyes and smiled: "Don't worry, it won't." Besides, it's not a bad thing to fight. ”
"Huh?" Josia opened her mouth slightly, then frowned, "You're their boss, how can you say that." ”
"Healthy competition is not a bad thing. Don En explained, "You don't know David's character, didn't you shout yesterday that you wanted to break off with Mi Xiu, who was a villain, and today he didn't take the initiative to open his mouth?"
"Oh, really. Josia pursed the corners of her mouth, thinking about David, who was angry yesterday, and couldn't help but laugh.
The battle to block the cavalry in Riva City was the first time that the Gray Space team used teamwork in practice, and the results were not bad, which was a small test.
After leaving the city, Don took the opportunity to divide the new players into two teams, officially under the command of David and Michaux.
Naturally, the newly formed team needs to run in and let the players find their place in the team. It just so happened that they were now in the 100,000 mountain realm, where the mountain roads were long, and there were countless bandits and robbers, which was an excellent place to "sharpen knives".
So Donn ordered the two teams to take turns sweeping and start a competition. As for the criterion of victory and defeat, it is very simple, it is to see which team kills more bandits.
There are traffic arteries such as mountain roads, and bandits on both sides are naturally endless. However, there are also large and small bandit gangs, and some have even established cottages. David's team was unlucky to run into a few big ones. A bandit gang of this size is naturally not something that can be taken down by a dozen people, and even if they kill the sentry, there is a high chance that they will be caught up, so Zuihou They have no choice but to retreat with hatred.
And Mixiu and their luck were much better, when it was their turn to reconnoitre, there were almost all small bandits with only a few dozen people in front of them, clearing the sentry, lurking and surrounding, and then raising their crossbows and shooting...... Easy to take!
"Don, after I go back this time, I will persuade Aunt Luosha to continue to promote the city's propaganda Jihua!" After chatting a few words, Josia suddenly said with a firm face.
"Yes. ”
“...... Gone?" Josia pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly, "Don't you have any suggestions?"
"I approve of it. Tang En spread his hands, "The foundation laid by the Gray Army before is very solid, and now the implementation of urban jihua is also in line with the times, so I don't recommend it." ”
Josia nodded and said decisively, "Well, then do it." ”
Tsk, it's changed...... Don raised his eyebrows, and secretly praised in his heart.
Josia's character has always been decisive and persistent. However, it is limited to experience. In the past, I was still a little weak and immature. But after the uprising that led the people of Riva, she undoubtedly underwent a baptism.
In that environment, Donn thought he couldn't publicize it in public. Even many, including Donn, would disapprove of this. Because it is likely to be meaningless, it is likely to be arrested on the street, and it is even likely to cause a backlash and self-inflicted ...... All kinds of concerns, all kinds of reasons, all kinds of timidity...... Fear of failure and fear of strength is part of human nature!
But there will always be such a type of person, who stubbornly moves forward in the face of the general trend of the tide. Nearby or intentionally or unintentionally blocked, the irresistible liliang in front of you...... But all this can not stop the head of the man with his head held high, a firm step.
What if it doesn't work? What if you can't wake up the people around you when you scream? It's there, someone always has to do it, even if it's just an attitude!
Don has never lacked faith in Josia, but some things really take time and opportunity to grow and change. Just like the previous selection of Josia as the hero of the Gray Army, this was the idea that suddenly came to Tang En's mind at that time, and he naturally looked at Josia as well, but he thought that the other party still needed some experience to be truly competent. But now, the opportunity has come, and Josia has seized it. No matter how coincidental it is, how lucky it is...... The only thing that matters is that she made a choice, and she succeeded!
"Don, Don ......" Joshia's cheeks were a little rosy, and he stretched out his jade hand and waved it in front of Don.
Tang En's eyes narrowed, and he was slightly surprised: "Uh? What's wrong?"
"No, nothing. Josia smiled and turned her head away, pinching the placket of her shirt with her left hand. What's wrong? After looking at people for so long, I still ask what's wrong......
Tang En also realized this problem at this time, and immediately touched his nose a little embarrassed. It's hard to explain...... Could it be that I'm sorry, I was in a daze just now? Rub, even people who lack strings in their brains know that they can't say that.
Although the atmosphere was a little weird, fortunately, there were two people outside who were still arguing, so there was no cold scene.
"Damn, get out of the car and go heads-up. Look at me and I won't slash you to death in a whirlwind!"
"Hehe, who's afraid of whom!, but are you sure you've practiced the Whirlwind Slash, and not to stun yourself?"
"I ...... Why do you care so much, just fight. The tone is obviously strong on the outside and dry on the middle.
"Forget it, then. ”
"Haha, you don't dare. ”
"yes, I'm scared...... I'm afraid that you will accidentally hurt other people. haha......”
"Wow-ahh
Tang En couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this, the so-called Whirlwind Slash was actually a condensed version of the Storm skill.
After being awakened by the old butler, Don first taught the system skills to David and Michau in the past two days. Among them, Mi Xiu is easy to do, and he also uses a dagger, as long as he relays what the old butler taught at that time. But David is not easy to do, the attack method of the big sword is very different from the dagger, and it is not at all compatible. After thinking about it for a while, Don decided to adapt the system skills. Originally, I just wanted to try it, but I didn't want it to really work, and Storm was the first to be successfully adapted.
However, the name Whirlwind Slash was not given by Don, he was thinking of "Blade Storm" at the time. But David felt that he was tongue-twisting and shouting was not coherent and imposing enough, so he changed his own proposal to a vulgar and rotten "whirlwind chop" on the street......
The quarrel continued, and just when Josia felt that David and the two were overdone and were about to persuade them, there was a sudden silence outside.
Donn's ears moved, and he raised his eyebrows in understanding.
Sure enough, the car door opened, and David's huge head appeared: "Boss, someone came to greet ...... We're at the station!" (To be continued.) )
