Take the ride to dominate the game

Chapter 16 Not a single soldier can die

"You still have some problems with your pace, and you will suffer a lot on the battlefield."

When both of them were exhausted and slowed down, Hans Darry suddenly said so.

Arthur Yile, why does everyone want to educate themselves?

The last person who pointed out his problem was still tied up in his castle.

"So what, as long as I'm strong enough, what opponent can catch my sword? What's the use of being flexible?"

Hans took a step back and said to Arthur while fighting back with his sword: "You are not the Magic Mountain. After all, your strength does not increase without bounds. Young people should be humble and listen to the experience of the elders."

Arthur wanted to retort, but held back.

Do you want to tell this middle-aged man that his strength can really grow wirelessly?
Let him remain ignorant.

"Ah, yes, yes, you are right."

Hans thought he had listened to his suggestion, and his impression of this young man improved.

He was in the castle just now, and he didn't know why Arthur came, and he didn't know why the fight started.

If it was just for the pleasure of those Bracken, Vance, and Piper sitting in the seats, then he felt that it was necessary for him to suggest to Earl Janos how out of tune Hendry was.

Almost as absurd as King Robert, who spends his days in tourneys or big hunts.

So he asked, "Why did you get into this fight?"

"To make Hendry send troops, because he promised to give me five hundred soldiers if I won three games." Arthur replied with a strong chop.

If the two were not fighting each other, the conversation would have been very harmonious.

"Why did you send troops?" Hans continued to ask.

"Because the Blackwood family sent troops to surround my castle and bully my people." Arthur changed his words.

As for the kidnapping of Earl Titos Blackwood's eldest son, he chose not to mention it.

"Sounds like you'd be a good lord."

Arthur was pleased with the compliment, "Yes, I'm fighting for my people."

Hans quickly took two steps back, temporarily out of the battle situation, "It sounds like I stopped a righteous lord's reasonable appeal?"

"Ah, yes, yes." Arthur didn't pursue either, taking the opportunity to rest.

After all, it is still very tiring to slash with a big sword.

The two stood with their swords in their hands, their big eyes staring at their small eyes.

In the auditorium, the unexplained people quieted down, thinking that this was the quiet time before the decisive battle.

It's like the very dark hour before dawn.

Feeling that Hans was gathering his strength to prepare for the slash, Arthur also secretly became nervous.

After all, a fighter with top strength and skill is not so easy to deal with.

Just when Arthur raised his sword again, this Mr. Hans suddenly said:
"I can't move anymore, I surrender."

When everyone outside the court heard this, they looked at each other in blank dismay, but none of them reacted.

Even the military referee was stunned.

But immediately, it became lively.

Whether it is the little nobles or the knights, they all occupied the moral high ground and launched a fierce attack on Hans Darry.

Most of them think this is fooling them.

A few people even cursed loudly, and it seemed that they had lost a lot.

Marco Piper was stunned for a while, he was seeing the rise, and the battle suddenly ended.

Hendry did not expect such a situation. Although he won a lot of money as a banker, the idea of ​​not wanting to send troops was still disturbing his thinking.

Kalil Vance was a little lucky, now the three of them were the same.

Arthur was even more puzzled. He put down his sword in embarrassment, and watched Hans withdraw his sword and leave.

I don't know what this middle-aged knight means?
After a long commotion, Hendry announced that Arthur had won, and added a condition for sending troops:

"Everyone has seen that Mr. Hans did not try his best. In other words, Arthur did not win completely. Although this is not a contract, I am still going to send five hundred troops to help Sir Arthur."

"It's just that I have one condition. None of the five hundred soldiers can die. If there are any injuries, the compensation and medical treatment should be borne by Sir Arthur Bracken and his family."

Hendry's speech had an extremely aristocratic style. What he said seemed to be that Arthur had broken the contract, and he continued to keep the promise regardless of the loss.

Arthur thought about it for a while, and thought it was acceptable, but he had to ask one thing clearly, so as not to argue in the future.

"What if a soldier is killed?"

Hendry said without thinking, "That's easy, a soldier will compensate my family with one hundred gold dragons."

Arthur was a little confused, "The ransom for a small nobleman is only three hundred gold dragons, and you need one hundred gold dragons for a single soldier. This is too bad!"

"If you don't like it, you can leave." Hendry was unmoved.

The life-saving straw was in front of him, how could Arthur give up.

"How can I dislike it? Then do as you say. When will the troops be dispatched? Who will be in command?"

As the top four powers in the Riverlands, the Bracken family has about [-] standing troops, and there are probably more than a thousand people near Shili City.

"If you want, start now. Three hundred people will be mobilized from the vicinity of Stone Ledge City, and the rest will be recruited along the way. Commander, I will appoint Knight Andrew Bracken. When the time comes, Arthur, you will also obey his orders."

Since Arthur won a large sum of money, nearly a thousand golden dragons, Hendry did not embarrass Arthur on the issue of sending troops.

There are also some Bujia soldiers stationed along the line to the north, and they can be recruited with the order of Shili City on the way north.

Arthur was fairly satisfied with the arrangement.

Without further ado, after thanking Hendry and Earl Janos, he and Andrew left the martial arts arena and headed to the barracks.

The two soldiers who had come with him followed him.

Andrew, with a round face and beard, is of medium height. He is a branch child of the Bracken family and has been trained according to the standards of senior military officers.

In terms of status, Andrew is definitely not as good as Arthur of the minor nobles, but in terms of actual power, Arthur is still not as good as him.

There are two paths in life, and I don't know which is good and which is bad.

"My lord, why don't you take a rest first? I think you are very tired."

Andrew also watched these three battles, and he recognized Arthur's strength very much, and there was a little compliment in his tone.

"No, I can rest right away. My people are still being bullied, so it doesn't matter if I'm tired."

Arthur said pretending to be righteous.

Andrew was in awe.

"It's still some time before the afternoon. If we set off immediately, we can reach the vicinity of the Hejian Avenue before it is completely dark."

The Riverroad is a road that runs through the Riverlands on the south bank of the Red Fork from west to east. It is one of the five roads built during the reign of Jaehaerys the Arbiter.

When you get there, it's not far from the Red Fork River.

Arthur nodded in agreement.

"In addition, we can send cavalry to notify the recruited soldiers along the road in advance, which can save a little time." Andrew proposed again.

"You are a professional commander, everything is arranged by you."

Satisfied with Andrew, Arthur turned to thinking about how to sell Brynden Blackwood for a good price.

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket and ask for a monthly ticket.
