Views:

In the City Lord's Mansion, due to the attack of the orcs, the city lord Viscount Dickens was already feeling a little anxious. As a great knight, Viscount Dickens would rather use his sword to kill the orc teams that entered the Harvest City than to attack the city lord from time to time in the City Lord's Mansion. Heard the news that a certain castle or village was attacked by orcs.

Yesterday, Viscount Dickens received the werewolf corpse and a map from Harry Castle. After asking someone to translate it, he found that it was a gathering map of the orc team. The orc team will gather in the next few days, and will be flown by the flying crew from the orc empire. The beasts were transported out of the human world, which means that this attack is almost over. If Viscount Dickens does not take action again, the losses caused by the orcs' attack will cause Viscount Dickens to lose face in the principality, and will also affect Viscount Dickens's career in the principality. status in the principality.

During the day today, Viscount Dickens had ordered an army of a thousand men to ambush at the location marked on the map. This time, Viscount Dickens dispatched three senior knights alone, plus thirty knights, making a force of one thousand men. The elite troops of the brigade are strong enough to fight a small-scale battle.

According to the letter from Knight Marshall, the information this time was obtained after his adopted son Master Blacksmith Abel attacked a lone Wolf Cavalry with a trap. Viscount Dickens was very concerned about the new Master Blacksmith in Harvest City. He was interested. He knew that as far as he knew, the master blacksmith was awarded the title of master for forging magic weapons. Viscount Dickens had also been considering whether to ask this new master for a magic weapon.

"Lord City Lord, someone from Matthew Castle has come to report the funeral." The city manager's family came to report.

When Viscount Dickens heard this, he knew something was wrong with another castle. He said to the steward: "Let people come in."

After a while, a very embarrassed attendant came in. As soon as the attendant came in, he said with a cry: "The Lord of the City, Lord Matthew and everyone in the family were killed in the orc attack."

The disappearance of a family is not a trivial matter. Viscount Dickens of the Matthew family knows that this family is very small, just a small family in Harvest City, but it has also inherited hundreds of years of history, and its territory is not large. 100 miles away is the smallest lord's territory.

"Please explain the situation clearly." Viscount Dickens saw that the attendant did not tell the matter clearly due to sadness or lack of experience, but spoke intermittently.

There is nothing that can be done about it. Under normal circumstances, if Lord Matthew wants to report something to Viscount Dickens, he will only send the butler Ken, or go directly to the city lord's palace himself.

Due to this attack, Steward Ken is now unable to leave Matthew Castle and can only send out a squire who is usually relatively talkative.

The attendant heard the meaning of Viscount Dickens's words. At this time, he also remembered the butler Ken's explanation. When he arrived at the city lord's mansion, he had to finish everything as soon as possible. The city lord would not have time to listen to him slowly.

"Today evening, a group of wolf cavalry attacked the castle. At that time, the gate of Matthew's Castle opened, and the wolf cavalry entered the castle. When the wolf cavalry entered the castle to attack and kill, Master Abel who was passing by came to help, and together with his entourage After killing this group of wolf cavalry, and Master Abel stabilizing the order of the castle, the steward is willing to order me to report to the city lord." The attendant finally explained the matter clearly in one breath.

Viscount Dickens's eyes flickered. It was Master Abel again. This kind of saving the nobles from danger would be appreciated by all the nobles and would gain their respect. Although he did not save Lord Matthew's life, he kept the castle intact. After coming down, according to the orcs' habit, they would slaughter all the people in the castle and then burn the castle with fire.

Master Abel's actions must be rewarded, as well as the map provided by Master Abel, and the result of the ambush. If the result is great, then the two things together can request a reward from the king of the principality. It will be difficult for the principality to reject it. No one dares to reject such a reward for military merit, because once the king rejects it, no one will fight for the principality next time. All the nobles, including the king, know this, so although the king has been suppressing it all these years Although he is a noble, he has never been prevented from being awarded titles for military merit. Instead, he is promoted according to regulations every time.

"I will send my men to Matthew Castle. You should go back first." Viscount Dickens said calmly.

After the attendant left, Viscount Dickens thought of Master Abel again. Regarding Master Abel, Viscount Dickens strengthened his attitude and must make friends with him. Such a young master will definitely have extraordinary achievements in the future. If there is anything he needs to help him, Wherever he is, he must do his best to help him. Some favors now may be of great use in the future.

In fact, Abel obtained the title of master blacksmith. If it were placed in other principalities, the principality would at least use the title of a lord to bribe the master who grew up in his own principality. However, the situation in the principality of Camai is a bit special. The king here has no respect for the nobles. There are some natural defenses, but for dispensable knighthoods like Abel, the king pretends not to know and ignores them.

At Harry Castle, after returning to the castle, Abel first played with Black Wind for a while. Black Wind, a little warg, had gained a lot of weight recently because he had eaten very well. He ran around in Abel's room lively every day. , Abel couldn't put it in the square. These days, due to the attacks of orcs, the square was full of citizens, some of whom were very hostile to wargs.

Abel had dinner with Knight Marshall. He had not been able to dine with Knight Marshall these days. After driving away the orcs today, Knight Marshall relaxed and had time to sit down and eat.

After the two finished their meal, Knight Marshall called Abel to come to the study with him. The maid poured two cups of coffee and brought them over. She first added some spices to Knight Marshall's cup, and then prepared to add seasoning to Abel's cup. Was stopped by Abel.

"Abel, I have something to tell you. You decide for yourself." Knight Marshall smelled the aroma of coffee, closed his eyes with great enjoyment, and said as if savoring the taste of coffee and spices.

Abel couldn't bear to look at Knight Marshall enjoying the spiced coffee. Nowadays, it is fashionable for nobles to add spices to everything. Fortunately, spices are rarely added to the dishes on the table at Harry Castle, otherwise Abel would have prepared all the spices. Started his own business.

"Uncle Marshall, tell me."

"Abel, you have now become a master blacksmith, and your forging skills have exceeded my requirements. You know that I am a direct descendant of the Harry family in Bagang City. I left the family after receiving the knighthood due to my military exploits, but the family's secret knight skills are not It is not closed to me, you are my heir, you can also go to Bagang City to learn the secret skills of the family knights, of course I have some secret skills here that you can learn directly," Knight Marshall said to Abel formally.

Abel has already learned some secret skills of the Bennett family, but he cannot use these secret skills without reaching the level of a formal knight. If Abel had not already been a level 5 trainee knight, Knight Marshall would not have told Abel this.

The only Bennett's secret skill that Abel can use now is the Knight's Breathing Technique, which absorbs the Qi generated during training and accelerates it to form Qi veins. Abel has learned three other secret skills:

One is the Knight Acceleration Technique, which is a secret technique that uses the fighting spirit in the body to increase one's speed;

The second is the Knight Burst, which is a burst of power that instantly increases three times, but will weaken within the next hour;

The third type is solid defense. This secret technique relies on the use of shields. It can use fighting energy to connect the earth and the shield to obtain strong defense against one side.

"Uncle Marshall, what secret skills do you have now?" Abel is not afraid of many secret skills. Because of his mental power, he can learn any knowledge very quickly.

"I have two secret skills here, one is for knights to charge immediately, and the other is for knights to accelerate with their mounts." Knight Marshall then explained: "Both of my secret skills can only be used with the help of mounts. At this point, I He has differences with Knight Bennett. He believes that the key to a knight is balance and comprehensiveness, so he can master various weapons, such as great swords, shields, bows, knight spears, long axes, etc., almost all weapons that a knight should be able to use. And I am only proficient in riding, mastering big swords, bows and knight spears. I think the reason why knights are called knights is because they ride on mounts. The weapons I master include big swords for close combat and knights for medium range. A gun and a long-range bow are enough, which is why I achieved enough merit in the war to obtain a fiefdom.”

In fact, Knight Marshall did not say that Knight Bennett's military exploits were not low, but the military exploits of the promoted Lord were too high. As junior knights at the time, neither of them was enough to obtain that much military exploits.
