The young man named Brent has very lively eyes, and he looks like a very smart guy at first glance. Looking at the two helpers he has found, one is stupid and the other is taciturn. Neither of them has big ideas. When the three of them are together, Brandt obviously makes the decision, so there will be no conflict of opinions.
As for whether the three people's cooperation can persist to the end, and whether the three people will smoothly share the listing, it is too early to talk about it now.
Rhine thought about it in his mind and did not make a conclusion directly.
Rhine did not stay here for too long, but continued to wander in the woods. Previously, Brandt and his group were squatting behind a tree. Others could not see them, and they could not see others clearly. They only heard the footsteps of two people and hurriedly activated the trap, almost harming the master and servant of Rhine. This directly led to John's current worry. He could not help but persuade Rhine to leave here, for fear that some soldier who was not discerning would accidentally injure Rhine.
Rhine was upset by his nagging, but because he had good intentions, he did not dare to refuse seriously, for fear that John would think he was abandoned. Rhine had to pretend to have a headache and seek peace for a while. Then along the way, when John was not paying attention, he swept away the sudden branches. The soldiers who almost attacked the Earl were stunned, not knowing whether the Earl was lucky or had good skills.

John didn't know anything about it yet, but he couldn't help but look at the count's face, fearing that he would have a headache.
Rhine walked back and forth for two hours. It didn't take long for these soldiers to go from being frightened at first to becoming accustomed to him later. Most of them were even able to avoid attacking the count. . Seeing that John was no longer so worried, Rhine's sudden migraine gradually improved.
Two hours passed quickly, and the top six did not exceed expectations, especially the three Brandts. Rhine was very interested in how these three people would be distributed, so he specifically found these three people when the time was almost up and hid them. Watched a big show from the sidelines.
The total harvest of these three people is quite good, but after being evenly divided, each person's number of listings is not particularly high. They have met other teams or strong individuals before, and have a rough judgment on the current ranking of listings.
Brandt was not the first to jump out. Instead, it was Chris, the young man who had always avoided stealing the limelight, who took the initiative and said: "If the score is tied, none of the three of us might be able to make it into the top six."
The stupid Duke didn't realize the subtext of this sentence, and said stupidly: "It doesn't matter, then we will try our best. I never thought that I could really become a knight, I just didn't think I would try if I had this opportunity. It’s a pity. I came to the strategy group competition as well. I thought it would be better if there were fewer people, but I didn’t expect that the count came up with such a weird assessment method. Without you, I might not have been able to get a few listings.”
Chris choked up and had to speak more clearly, saying: "Actually, in this game just now, the three of us offended a lot of people. Although it is a fair competition, what we are competing for is the position of the knight. It is difficult for others to do so." Don’t take it to heart. If no one among the three of us gets the position of knight, the next days may not be easy.”
Duke was very coaxed. When Chris reached this point, he understood a little bit and said, "So what are we going to do now? Give all the signs to one person?"
Chris knew that there was no point in trying to fool him, so he said directly: "Giving it to one person is the safest way. But a more cost-effective way is that you or I give up all the listings, and then give two-thirds to Bran Special, give one third to me or you, so that two people are likely to be in the top six. And the two people in the top six can also take care of the remaining person, which is a good thing for everyone. "
Chris didn't directly tell Duke to give up, he added himself to this alternative. Invisibly, Brandt was placed in the safest and most advantageous position. Duke's subconscious thinking was only about whether he should sacrifice himself or Chris, and he would not think of letting Brandt be the one to make this sacrifice.
After hearing this, Rhine already understood that this young man named Chris was Brandt's real teammate. He had been silent before because he wanted Duke to feel that he was a member of the team, but he knew very well in his heart whose team he was on. At critical moments, he will jump out and charge for Brandt without stopping.
They knew very well why the Count chose this method of assessment. Obviously the physical fitness of both of them was not weaker than Duke, but in order to let Rhine see their performance, under the leadership of Brandt, they chose many roundabout, There is no need to compete with hard power to show wisdom.
And Rhine did take them into consideration. Although there was still some shortcomings in the overall view, he felt that Brandt and Chris were the two most worthy of training among his officers.
Duke still hesitated. He is stupid, yes, and his ambitions are not strong, but that doesn't mean he has none. Since he took part in this assessment, he just wanted to get some results. He could accept that his results did not meet the standards and he could not get the knighthood. But Duke was unwilling to give up without even being qualified for the competition.
Chris looked at his face and said: "I'm still a little worried. The count said that this assessment is about strategy. Although we used some strategies, these strategies were all thought up by Brandt, and the count has always He is observing everyone's behavior, and he may have observed this. I'm afraid that even if Duke and I make the top six, the earl will not really give us the knighthood. Otherwise, should we give it all to Brandt?"
Rhine burst out laughing when he heard this. He didn't expect that even he would be used as a tool to persuade Duke. In fact, the selection on both sides was very rough. He didn't expect this rough system to really select the most talented people, but what he needed now was not refinement, but reforms that could drive people. Being true to one's words is more important than careful selection. Rhine was a little worried about what to do if a naive guy like Duke got into the top six because his teammates were in the top six, but there was absolutely no regret in the solution.
But Duke didn't know this, and the worry in Chris' words made him worry unconsciously, and finally made the decision to give up his listing.
John looked on indignantly. In his opinion, these were two slippery men who deceived an honest man. But he always remembered his duty and did not dare to influence the earl easily. After the three Brandts walked away, he said: "Earl, you must not choose these two people to be knights. Look at their treacherous and cunning looks. There is no loyalty that a knight should have."
Rhine said: "Can you tell that Brandt and Chris are in an alliance?"
John was stunned and said: "No wonder that Chris has been helping Brandt deceive Duke's listing. The two of them turned out to be real teammates."
Rhine added: "In your opinion, can these two people defeat Duke together?"
John thought about the performance of these people before. Although the three of them did not directly interact with others, he could still tell something. There did not seem to be much difference in the level of the three people. So Brandt and Chris joined forces. He should be able to beat Duke.
Rhine said: "They could seize it by force, but they didn't. It shows that they don't want to have a stalemate with Duke. When they are very likely to become knights, they still take into account the relationship with Duke. I prefer After they become knights, they will be given due care by Duke."
Although John wanted to listen to the earl, he still couldn't stand Brandt and Chris.
Rhine said: "John, what they did was within the scope of the rules. Although they used some language skills to make Duke give up the benefits he deserved, this is also a method. As long as they can do what they should in the future. If they do, that’s not a lie, and there’s no need for you to hate them so much. If you must hate them, you should hate me for designing such an audit.”
John immediately stopped saying anything. In his eyes, how could the earl be wrong
After watching a satisfying performance, Rhine returned to the original place to wait for the soldiers, and selected the top six with the most number of listings. Brandt was the first, and Chris narrowly occupied the sixth place. Rhine told these six people that they would be knighted in three days, and asked them to stay and watch the assessment next door. The others could leave first. After the knighting was completed in three days, they would be unified and divided into troops.
Rhine led the six people to the open space next door. Only a few dozen people were left in the large group of people before. Hillier saw Rhine, came up to him, and reported the progress.
The comparison of force is relatively simple, because of the rules set by Rhine, generally only two people with relatively similar strength can compete. Although the setting of the competition system may eliminate some strong soldiers, in the presence of wheel battles, this is more fair.
After a few more rounds, the thirty-man target set by Rhine for Hillier will be selected, and Rhine will then decide six people from them.
Rhine asked Hillier about the situation of the competition just now. Most of the games were fair and impartial, and the few who used extreme backstabbing techniques were ruled out by the knight hosting the game. Because Rhine emphasized that so far, no one has been seriously injured.
Rhine is quite satisfied with the result.
He started walking around again, and John no longer knew what lessons to talk about. He was frightened when he saw these soldiers holding swords, but the count insisted on watching the battle, so he had to pay attention and be careful with such weapons at all times.
Rhine's observation of the game this time had two purposes. One is to take a look at the strength of the remaining dozens of people, so that we can have more basis for grouping them. Another purpose is to learn their swordsmanship.
There are two main types of swords here, one is a two-handed short sword, and the other is a one-handed giant sword. Because of the shape of the weapon, it is different from the Oriental sword in use. Rhine is very familiar with the two-handed dagger and is even eager to try it. He carefully observed everyone's movements, then considered a few suitable moves based on the length of the sword, and demonstrated them back and forth in his mind.
After walking around and having a basic understanding of everyone's strength, Rhine gave a few instructions in John's ear, and John nodded and left.
The quota of thirty people was quickly confirmed. Rhine looked at their faces one by one and said: "These thirty of you are all warriors under my command in the Palatinate, although I can only choose six more to be knighted today. Glory, but I believe that given time, you will all be able to stand out. As a knight, you must know how to control horses and use weapons. This is our final assessment."
And John was the one who went to bring the horses.
