Riding and Slashing

Chapter 34 She Brought a Strange Man
Changhe guards the garrison.

"Knight Commander Ralph, I think you can understand Lord Li Ang's kindness."

Sarah was sitting upright, with a sincere expression, except for those fox-like charming eyes, she definitely looked like a dignified lady in every other way.

But these beautiful big eyes are not obtrusive in this kind of formal conversation, but can increase her affinity and persuasion.

This is an advantage neither Li Ang nor the best negotiators have.

In a one-on-one setting, it was easy for Sarah to get a man who was not good at words to listen carefully to her voice.

Especially when she intends to make it a paying customer.

Only, this time, Sarah, as the 'Sales Director', is talking about business on behalf of her boss.

After making a 'guidance' based on the prophecy of a novice magician, she has easily dominated the topic as Li Ang imagined.

"Ms. Sarah, as you said, I am indeed willing to buy a camp that has already been built. If Lord Li Ang does not plan to manage that territory for a long time...but..."

Ralph was obviously persuaded long ago, but his expression seemed to be a little worried.

"Master Li Ang's troops are not strong enough to defend a fortress. Besides, Knight Commander Ralph, just like before, you have no right to enter the pioneering territory of the Horton family - as long as it is the territory of the pioneering lord, then those who can really protect Changhe Town Sentinel, there is no way to settle in... Otherwise, it would be a violation of the kingdom's laws."

Sarah slightly laughed at the rigid laws of the Sarleon Kingdom, but she seemed to be more trustworthy.

"Your Excellency also knows that you have been in a difficult situation, so, for the safety of more people in Changhe Town, Li Ang would rather go to Changhe Forest to find a place to settle down..."

Sarah felt that Ralph had been completely convinced by herself, but for some reason, she kept hesitating.

Ralph stood up and put his hand on his chest: "Please express my gratitude to Lord Leon for me. His wisdom and kindness will be rewarded by the rangers. However, Ms. Sarah, I..."

"dong dong dong"

"Knight Commander Ralph! There is an urgent military situation!"

Just as he was speaking, after a quick knock on the door, a ranger in green ranger armor ignored the etiquette and rushed straight into the room, interrupting Ralph's words.

"This is a letter from the frontline ranger Pegasus! The beacon fire has been sent out from the Fort Valiant! Three beacon fires! The Jatu army has assembled!—Sorry, ma'am!"

The ranger first handed Ralph a blood-stained sheepskin, and quickly finished talking about the military situation, and finally apologized to Sarah. His expression was extremely nervous, and he obviously lost his politeness and image.

Ralph quickly read the letter, and the worry in his eyes instantly turned into determination, turning what he hadn't finished speaking into an unquestionable decision.

"Ms. Sarah, I will buy that camp. But please reply to Lord Li Ang as quickly as possible, and ask him to stick to Tongtian River!"

"The Horn Summoning Ranger Group will rush to the reinforcements as quickly as possible, but before that, I beg Lord Li Ang...don't let any Jatu cross the Tongtian River!"

"Please! Take him with you and tell Lord Li Ang about my request!"

Ralph's hand pointed to the messenger ranger.

The Ranger directly crossed his chest with his right fist, and gave a military salute to Sarah.

Sarah stood up.

She wondered if such a request would spell doom for her boss.

But the flames in Ralph's eyes made her see Leon at the riverside, who covered the sky and the earth with a wave of his hand.

At the moment before the sunset, she saw almost the same expression in Li Ang's eyes.

Two different people, different personalities, different behaviors and purposes, but they have the same irresistible determination and appeal.

Lord lord... Did he have already thought of such a situation at that time?

That's why he stayed in the camp, but let me negotiate the deal...

"I will do my best, Knight Commander, I hope your reinforcements will arrive as soon as possible! Friends, come with me!"

Sarah saluted hurriedly with the quickest efficiency of her life, took the ranger out, mounted her horse, and galloped north.

So fast that even the Ranger could barely keep up with her.

……

By the Tongtian River, the carpenters are resting the camp. They have built a low wall and are nailing the baffles on it.

Li Ang assigned Anson an assignment.

He wanted to teach Anson a little swordsmanship, otherwise it would be difficult for this kid to realize his dream.

If you want to be a knight, how can you not even know which side the blade is on?

You can't hide behind Sarah every time you fight...

This is not what a knight should do!

Moreover, as a medical staff, a glorious field doctor, it's okay if you don't have the ability to protect yourself-if you are hacked to death by the enemy, who will treat the wounded?

The homework assigned by Li Ang was originally for Ansen to find a way to stab Klose with a sword.

Later, he found out that he might not be able to complete this assignment in this life, so he just changed it to touch Klose's body.

but……

For Anson, it seemed that the difficulty was still too great.

Klose grinned grinningly while holding a wooden stick, and kept abusing Anson who had been whipped around.

The mercenaries around watching the theater kept laughing, and some even placed a lottery bet—they bet very fancy, and the bet was actually who would be responsible for cleaning the battlefield in the next battle...

This is probably because they are all penniless now.

Although Klose was holding a wooden stick and Anson was holding a long sword, the difference in combat power between the two was ten times greater than the difference in their size.

Even though Anson had put in all his efforts, he still couldn't touch even a corner of Klose's clothes.

Anson was panting heavily. If it was only about willpower, he was indeed a strong person—even though Klose had been so pumped that he couldn't bear it, he still didn't give up.

As for timidity, this can be practiced slowly, no one is born to dare to kill.

But the problem is that some talent problems cannot be made up for no matter how hard you work...

Anson obviously had no talent for using a sword at all.

Even Klose, who doesn't like to comment on others at will, thinks that it's better for the child to change to a non-melee equipment that can be used while hiding behind - such as a light crossbow or a lady's crossbow.

The type of crossbow was deliberately pointed out because Klose knew that if it was a heavy crossbow, or the rough steel crossbow produced in Mettenheim, Anson would probably not be able to hold it flat...

This isn't sarcasm, it's just telling the truth.

But Ansen felt that he had been humiliated, and insisted on completing the homework that Li Ang had given him. As a result, the two fought for more than half an hour.

Of course, it was a one-sided beating.

- At the end of daily training, the total experience points your soldiers get from training: 420
Li Ang was not present, but the system's prompts would not be absent. This was the extra experience brought by coaching skills, but he still needed to personally arrange training courses or assign homework.

Li Ang was reading a book on the wooden roof of the camp.

The so-called 'Memoirs of an Officer' is a very good pulp novel, but with less plot and mostly bedrooms or bathrooms.

Pendor's writers seem to lack some wild imagination...

But this still couldn't stop Li Ang's thirst for knowledge in the book.

"My lord! There are two horses coming from the south... a bit like Sarah... ah, it is Miss Sarah! But she brought a strange man... a man with a green hat!"

On the newly built watchtower, a swordsman with good eyes woke up Li Ang—he was the unlucky guy who had his foot pierced in the pirate camp, Summer.

Also the only hunk in the stormtroopers who didn't drink too much - so he became a sentinel, and the benefit of good living habits was that he had a bigger workload.

Of course, this is called respect...

Li Ang immediately put away the book, turned over and jumped off the roof, and quickly met the river.

"Are you so impatient...won't there be a fight?"

Samer on the observation deck grinned, showing a look that men could understand, lying on the observation deck, intending to watch a good show.
