Is it so easy for religion in another world to win?

Except for the Black and Brown Earl, most of the nobles did not know the details of that battle. At best, they only knew to win with less and more. The tactical content was incomprehensible.

What's even more outrageous is that Rand is not even a serious nobleman, he is just accepted by default. Although as a lord, it is basically a certainty that the Black and Brown Earl agrees to the enfeoffment, but hasn't this been approved by the king himself?

There is not even a king yet.

In comparison, these nobles, whose families have a long history and whose ancestors even produced powerful figures, must obey the command of this wild man from the mountains and forests who appears from nowhere?

And although Rand expected that he would be entrusted with an important task from the beginning, he did not expect it to be so exaggerated. Did the Black and Brown Earl trust him so much?

Rand ran into trouble while walking back to camp.

Several people who looked like nobles were blocking the middle of the road, obviously unable to pass.

Ellie behind her whispered: "Is this the classic plot of the web drama you mentioned before?"

Rand nodded tiredly. Now it seems that this is indeed the case. It is completely understandable that these nobles want to cause trouble like ruffians. After all, Rand himself feels that he is not worthy of his position.

But now that you have obtained formal command authority, prestige is very important. If you are stepped on, it will be wishful thinking to command the army.

Now we can only block it with soldiers, and the water will cover us.

Rand stood still and said, "Get out of the way."

Ellie whispered to Rand that the leader was a viscount and the other two were barons. All three of them were assigned to Rand's command.

Obviously these three people had no intention of getting out of the way.

Rand sighed, but it's okay. It's better to come here to cause trouble now than to start a fight and disobey orders. If that happens, it will be a big deal.

A pair of white gloves was thrown from the other side.

"Is this a duel?" Rand turned back secretly and asked Ellie behind him.

"Yes."

"Then should I go pick it up?"

"Need not."

Unable to stand Rand's whispers, the leader, the Viscount, spoke: "Do you want to provoke us?"

"You are obviously provoking me." Rand sighed again: "A duel does not prove command ability."

"Coward." The leader of the Viscount sneered without hesitation.

Rand raised his eyebrows. Just as he was about to accept the duel, Olenna walked up to Rand and dropped the same white glove on the ground.

Ellie explained from behind Rand: "Nobles' duels can be proxied."

In fact, if Rand fights in person, the probability of winning is very high. Although he can't beat Olenna and Ellie, even Ellie is a serious high-level professional.

The possibility of these nobles being able to train themselves to a superior level is very slim, and with the blessing of Blessing 1, Rand will recover quickly as long as he is not directly fatally injured, and the possibility of failing the duel is very slim.

But Olenna still stood in front of Rand and whispered: "What I am best at is dueling."

Rand actually disagreed with Olenna's words. He felt that Olenna was best at taking care of people. At least he had never directly faced Olenna's sharper side.

Moreover, Rand's hands were very itchy. In the den, he couldn't beat anyone with a certain level of skill. Now that someone came to get beaten, he was still very excited.

Chapter 80 Death or Social Death

In the Earl of Black and Brown's camp, another Earl who also belongs to the 5th Legion, Earl of Bucks, is sitting on the side of the fire, opposite Earl of Black and Brown.

He made a cup of what seemed to be tea and asked, "Is it really okay for you to hand over the command of the infantry to that Rand?"

"The command level is qualified, much better than most nobles, why not do this?" The Black and Brown Earl also made a glass of such liquid, took a sip and said.

"But the people below don't seem to be convinced?"

"If you can't suppress it, then replace him." The Black and Brown Earl said nonchalantly, just to test this Rand.

The level of Tan'er under him was pretty good. If he didn't look a lot like someone from the Torch Church, he would have started poaching.

As for Rand, it was clear from the previous Q\u0026A between the commander and the second prince that his level was pretty good.

However, the specific abilities still need to be tested more, and the heavy responsibility of commanding a legion must still be cautious.

Therefore, although it may seem like child's play to leave it to Rand now, it is actually just observation. If he does well, he will do it. If he does not, he will be replaced.

"Then why Rand?" the Earl asked again.

"Torch Church, can't you see it?" Earl Black and Brown didn't care and said: "Such an iconic armor, whether it is painted black or white, can't disguise anything."

Moreover, it can be seen at a glance whether the soldiers from the Crescent Territory have faith or not.

"Since the Torch Church wants to get a share of the pie, the generals sent here are definitely not far behind. There are talented people who can be used. Why not?"

The Earl of Bucks was completely convinced. Indeed, such talents would obviously improve the winning rate of the civil war.

The Earl of Bucks himself is completely incapable of military strategy. When it comes to personal bravery, banquet skills, territorial internal affairs, or seducing noble ladies, he can do well.

But if it involves military strategy.

All he knew how to do was summon his knights and then charge. This method was tried and tested against bandits and rebels. But when the civil war broke out, he consciously joined the command of the Black and Brown Earl, without any intention of snatching command.

…

The Black and Brown City is quite prosperous. At least the roads are paved with stone bricks, and the lower and upper city are strictly divided. It is obvious that the nobles do not want to live in the same area with the common people.

Now Rand is on the road in the upper city. There is still a faint smell of horse manure on the roadside. Obviously, even the nobles in the upper city do not pay much attention to hygiene.

Rand asked to prepare dung bags for livestock in the holiday villa and the hideout.

Seeing Olenna coming forward, the nobles' guards also stood up.

Obviously, the other side also wanted to use their men to test Rand's quality at the beginning. After all, in their opinion, their family history is long, and the guards around them are also carefully selected. How powerful can the guards of a mountain villager be.

She still looks like a woman, but she looks ordinary and her figure is not good.

Olenna raised the sword gracefully, even though she stuffed some cloth around her waist, which made her look a little pot-waisted, and she also put some makeup on her face, which made her look ordinary.

But her elegance and calm temperament are still quite attractive.

In Rand's opinion, Olena was still gentle at this time, but the guards on the opposite side were already a little uneasy.

Obviously, the nobles on the opposite side could not really feel the threat of Olena's restrainedness, so when the guards stood together, they ordered: "Teach them a lesson."

Rand did not pay too much attention, but continued to chat with Ellie behind him: "What a pity, I still want to show my skills, but this opportunity was taken away by Olena."

Ellie also whispered: "What strength do you have? Don't embarrass the den."

Because Rand has always called the area below the mountain a holiday villa and the area on the mountain a den, the people in the den naturally call it that.

A few blue veins appeared on Rand's forehead. Indeed, his combat power can be said to be the weakest in the den except for those ordinary believers, but he will also practice some professional skills when he has nothing to do.

Although everyone in the den didn't understand why Rand wanted to learn this, they let him do it. Under the teaching of everyone, Rand can now be called an ordinary-level warrior.

According to the classification of ordinary, elite, superior, and top level, such ordinary-level warriors.

Generally speaking, as long as you can wield a weapon, you can enter this classification.

"There will always be a chance for you to see my strength." Rand whispered unconvinced.

"Puff." Ellie laughed, and no one knew what she was laughing at.

At this time, Olenna had slowly put away her sword, and on both sides of the road, there were wailing noble guards lying in all directions.

However, in order to avoid making things too ugly, Olenna did not kill, but just stopped at the point.

In fact, at this point, these nobles should have realized that Rand was obviously not an ordinary person.

It is quite good for an ordinary baron to hire an elite professional, and even if Olenna deliberately restrained her strength, she could feel that this female swordsman had at least the strength of a superior.

Coupled with the attitude of some black and brown earls and the fact that Rand was entrusted with an important task, smart people would definitely know that they should give in.

For example, guess whether Rand is the illegitimate son of a big shot, or the foreign aid invited by the earl.

Several nobles on the opposite side also had some momentum to surrender, but they could not resist the increasing number of small nobles who came to watch.

Many small nobles were also unwilling to accept and wanted to come over to cause trouble, but seeing that someone had already started, they just watched the show from the side. Some might be preparing for an opportunity to step on Rand, while others were simply watching the show.

Rand felt that the armor of these nobles was really good, and it would definitely be more useful to put them in the front line than ordinary conscripts or mercenaries.

The few nobles who came to cause trouble first stammered a few times, but after all, they were not thick-skinned enough. Under the gaze of everyone, they blushed for a while, but still did not surrender directly.

The leading viscount hesitated for a while and said, "What can I do if I rely on my subordinates alone? What's the point."

Rand was immediately excited when he heard this. Finally, it was his chance to show his strength!

The opportunity to show off is so rare. It seems that the other side is very smart.

Ellie had been standing behind Rand. When she heard the other side talking, she poked her head out slightly, looked at who was so stupid, and then retracted it, whispering to Rand: "Be careful."

Rand nodded, and then said provocatively: "I accept your challenge!"

It's not a duel, but accepting the challenge. In fact, what Rand really wants to say is: You are the challenger.

But it doesn't seem to fit the scene, so he had to settle for the second best, but the provocation is still very strong.

The three nobles immediately looked at each other, and then a baron who looked obviously stronger stepped forward and pointed to the empty space next to him: "Where to compete?"

Now there is no possibility of retreating. If they retreat at this time, the deeds of the three of them will be circulated among the nobles for a lifetime, and they may be laughed at at the noble banquet when they are in their seventies or eighties.

In the face of the great terror of social death, they still stood up bravely.

Chapter 81 A bunch of troops (Wuhu, there will be 800 additional chapters tomorrow, look at me)

Rand whispered to Ellie: "Can I kill in a duel?"

"Yes, but it's better not to do it now." Ellie looked at the strong baron who was obviously guilty.

Everything is for the control of the legion in the future. As long as there is no problem with the command this time, Rand will be well-known in the military of the Frost Moon Kingdom in the future, and he can get a commander position in every war.

If you are in the north, you can have titles like earl and baron, and have actual fiefs. You are a very strong person, otherwise you can't survive in that cold land.

But in the relatively warm Frost Moon Kingdom, many families no longer pass on their bravery.

Perhaps because they are too close to the old nobles in the southern kingdoms that have remained unchanged for hundreds of years, many nobles in the Frost Moon Kingdom have also been infected with those banquet habits, but they have retained some bravery.

This strong-looking baron should be of decent level, and his strength may have reached the elite level.

Soon, under the watch of a group of small nobles, the duel began.

The baron took the lead in drawing his sword, and the style of the sword was exactly the same as Olenna's.

The swift sword has an incomparable advantage over those traditional long swords, two-handed swords, and greatswords, because piercing injuries are obviously much more deadly than slashing injuries.

Therefore, in a duel, the swift sword can almost crush all other short-handled weapons.

Limited to short weapons, if you use a long spear, the opponent can only surrender.

Rand actually wanted to use Blessing 2 to perform a public estrus, but there might be someone here who brought the ritual objects of the Torch Church, so he had to give up this idea.

In the eyes of the onlookers, it might be fast, but Rand was strengthened by Blessing 1 after all, and the masters of various professions taught Rand combat skills.

Simply avoid it, and then cross the long sword across the neck of the baron.

Many people present guessed that Rand might have some strength, but they did not expect such a quick ending.

However, the bravery of the chief officer also made them feel relieved. In this era, if the commander is a weak person who can only command, it is obviously impossible to convince the crowd.

This time, the provocation of these nobles actually gave Rand the opportunity to prove himself.

"In wartime, provoking the commander is a capital crime." Rand smiled and said, "But by chance, I need a vanguard troop to explore the way. What do you think?"

Rand knew what Ellie meant. He was not one of them to these nobles yet. Killing the baron directly would probably cause a backlash, but not killing him would not maintain his dignity.

So he chose a compromise.

Rush to the front with your life and fight for a chance to atone for your sins. This can also prove your bravery. Bravery is the glory of the nobles, isn't it?

…

Rand didn't want to do it anymore.

If the magic steel soldiers who had almost no training were a mob when they faced Baron Huyuan for the first time.

Then Taner, with the Fengran Mercenary Group, faced the collective mercenary group of Marquis Green Leaf, which was probably a pile of mud that couldn't be helped.

And the infantry of the 5th Corps, if you have to find an adjective, it can only be described as a pile.

Not only did most of them have only two pieces of clothing and were shivering there, but their weapons were also old and some even used wooden weapons, such as sticks and wooden guns.

To be honest, it was already very remarkable to be able to gather such a group of people together. They were so crowded that they probably didn't even know which noble recruited them. They probably didn't even know where to go home after the battle.
