Civilization Guardian Front

Chapter 820 Eight? You are such a special person

The face of the young man in front of him became paler and paler.

The rapid and frequent breathing still couldn't keep up with the severe physical loss, and the hand holding the sword even suffered a slight spasm due to it.

"!"

Surprised by her opponent's strange behavior, Alice retreated from the battle circle.

After signaling the end of the sparring, she hastily dropped the wooden sword and ran forward to check the inverted weapon instead of the wooden staff to support the ground, a young man who felt like he was about to fall at any time.

"Sorry, I just slipped and didn't notice... are you okay?"

"Ha...ha..."

Chios gasped for breath, and couldn't even give a simple response, but nodded reluctantly.

Acting to this extent is really tiring.

If it wasn't for absorbing the memory of the Eye of Calamity and controlling one's body functions to the point where one can do whatever one wants, it would be really difficult to express such nuanced details...

It is relatively easy to control the strength and speed at the level of ordinary people, the most difficult thing is to truly restore the overwhelming physical fitness...

After fighting against extraordinary people for so long, if he just gritted his teeth or panted on the surface, but didn't sweat a drop, anyone could see that something was wrong.

To perform well enough, the endocrine system must also be controlled, so that the heartbeat speeds up, the metabolic rate increases sharply, and the adrenaline surges. Together with overbreathing, the body is forced to keep running at full speed, causing the body temperature to rise, which in turn leads to perspiration.

Therefore, Chios' fatigue at the moment is genuine.

Of course, due to the high physical fitness, the recovery efficiency is naturally fast, so the actual situation is not as bad as it seems to outsiders.

But only Chios himself knows this.

Seeing that he was speechless, and his pale lips were trembling slightly as if feeling cold, Alice took out the holy bell without saying a word, and chanted the incantation of the church's miracle...

It was a magnificent epic that took place in the Age of Gods.

The great miracles that the clergy can reproduce by learning the stories of the gods and injecting faith into the medium.

"Great Recovery"

jingle...

The holy bell swaying in the girl's hand made a crisp and pleasant sound, and immediately, the halo surrounded by pale golden ancient characters bloomed like ripples under her feet.

In the blink of an eye, it expands to half the barracks...

Seeing the soft radiance pouring into their bodies, feeling clearly and unmistakably that the strength lost in training and the scratches caused by accidental bumps are recovering rapidly, the trainee volunteer soldiers all opened their eyes wide.

"It's really magical..."

"Can fight and mend, this is basically a paladin, right?"

"Can we also transfer to this advanced profession?"

"That's called a miracle, not magic..." The soldiers of the guard regiment couldn't help correcting:

"Also, Your Excellency the Golden Osmanthus Knight is indeed a paladin, but a paladin is not what you call a profession, it is a title granted by the church to those with extraordinary strength."

"People who don't belong to the church are not qualified to have such a lofty title. Even if they are equally powerful, they can only be called brave. You better remember clearly, don't lose your life just because you use the wrong name."

"Do you know? There were people who yelled indiscriminately, but were convicted of "blasphemy of the holy name" and sent to the gallows. "

""babble! ""

Several trainee volunteer soldiers who had discussed in game language before quickly shut up.

"..."

Alice was speechless when she heard soldiers frighten newcomers with extreme cases that happened hundreds of years ago.

She's not that cruel, is she...

Turning his attention back to the young man in front of him whose breath had recovered, he found that the other party looked at him in a strange way.

"Chios, what do you mean by looking at me like that? I order you to explain."

"nothing..."

Chios glanced at Alice's quietly clenched hand, and shook his head resolutely.

Careful and well-founded lies come out of your mouth:

"It's just seeing you mastering high-level miracles at such a young age. I can't help feeling admirable when I think about how much hard work and firm belief you have behind it, so that I neglected etiquette for a while. I'm really sorry if I offend you."

"Really..." Alice turned her face to the side, fiddled with the long golden hair by her ear, and replied lightly:

"Then forgive you."

Seeing that her heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface, Chios didn't point it out, but he didn't intend to answer the conversation.

After a few seconds of silence...

Alice's cheeks flushed slightly.

cough!

Clenched his right fist against his mouth and pretended to cough.

"It's my fault that I didn't notice your reluctance immediately..." Although the topic changed a bit abruptly, Alice's expression suddenly became serious when she mentioned her fault.

"Chios, I must apologize to you, yes..."

"Please don't pay attention to this matter." Chios interrupted Alice.

"Firstly, you didn't do it on purpose, and secondly, you have already treated me with miracles. If you continue to blame yourself, I will not accept it, but I will also apologize to you..."

He said spreading his hands.

"I'm sorry for troubling Alice-dono, I'm sorry, I'm not strong enough, I'm sorry for causing trouble to you, chief knight, I'm sorry..."

"stop!"

Alice hurriedly raised her hand to stop it.

The barrage of insincere apologies finally stopped.

Things that were supposed to be serious, after being interrupted by Chios, suddenly had the flavor of an absurd comedy plot.

puff...

Looking back, Alice couldn't help feeling a little funny.

"You are truly special, Chios."

Asuna, who was training more than ten steps away, couldn't help but tense when she heard this.

(Whoa, that's just too funny.)

Ryan, who was secretly watching the development of the matter, pursed his lips and chuckled.

It really won't be boring to follow Big Brother Chios.

While coping with the female soldiers' moves, she was distracted watching...

"After the fight just now, I have roughly understood your strength..."

Alice suppressed the brief smile on her face.

After pondering for a moment, she continued:

"Although your strength, speed, and stamina are almost at the level of lower-level knights, your swordsmanship is absolutely superb. To be honest, even if the opponent is a higher-level knight, I don't think you will lose."

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused a sensation among the soldiers of the guard regiment.

Unlike the trainee volunteer soldiers who look at each other and don't know why, they know what a senior knight represents...

Armed retinues or landowners and squires on horseback, because they often fought with knights, and their financial status was indeed much higher than that of ordinary soldiers, did not know when they began to be crowned with the informal title of "lower knight", and it is still in use today.

However, formal knighthood is not so easy to obtain.

You must have the corresponding martial arts, and be recommended by at least two knights, and then be conferred and promoted by the lord above the earl.

The superior knight is the elite of the knight class, the symbol of the pinnacle of human bravery under the paladin and the brave, and his status is regarded as a baron. He has the right to carry his personal banner on the battlefield, and even lead an army alone.

Chapter 820 IX? Do you want to touch your head?

Morning training comes to an end.

After announcing a two-hour break to the volunteers, the soldiers of the guard regiment lined up at the kitchen door one after another to receive their midday meal, including a large piece of barley bread, a bowl of white bean soup with bacon and cabbage, half a fist-sized The cheese, along with a glass of mild cider, is served on a wooden platter the size of a chopping board.

It is not luxurious and exquisite, but in the eyes of the trainee volunteers who have to spend every copper coin carefully, it is already quite a luxurious meal.

It is a pity that they do not enjoy the treatment of the regular army, and board and lodging can only be solved out of their own pockets.

Thinking of the life without worrying about food and clothing in the past, I couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

Sighing and walking out of the barracks, the volunteer soldiers who were hungry after training all morning looked at the streets, searching for shops that could fill their stomachs without spending too much money.

Chios watched them.

This is the first group of people who recognized the reality and began to work hard for survival.

Of the [-] novice volunteers assigned to Centoria, only about one-third of the elite personnel with military backgrounds were deducted from the guard regiment training.

Even though the old and young were eliminated in the initial screening, and the "players" who were determined to be more adaptable, responsive, and more resilient after the evaluation were selected, when they came to a different world, they could sort out their emotions overnight. After all, there are still a few people who take a critical step forward when the sun rises the next day.

More people are still hesitant and confused, not only reluctant to spend the three silver coins, but also unable to think of a better way to use the money, falling into a state of stagnation.

However, opportunities wait for no one...

When the money in the hands of those people is gradually insufficient and they are forced to face reality, the door of the guard group to obtain basic knowledge at a low cost will no longer be open to them.

Professional soldiers usually have a variety of duties to do, and from time to time they are threatened with mopping up the surrounding towns, so it is impossible to always spare time for the volunteers.This seven-day intensive training was an exception because Chios persuaded the chief knight and obtained the approval of the archbishop.

If you miss this precious opportunity, the loss is immeasurable.

Although the executor team considered the above situation in advance, they ordered military elites with multiple skills such as hand-to-hand combat, field survival, investigation and tracking, camouflage, etc. to mix with the stagnant volunteers.

Under the leadership of elites, at least most of the volunteer soldiers do not have to pay a heavy price for learning and exploring.

But at the same time, it also means that those people lose the possibility of being the masters of their own destiny.

After all, the core members of their team are those absolutely loyal soldiers who are guaranteed by the government the highest treatment for retirement and death in the line of duty, their children are destined to be sent to prestigious schools, and their families have no worries about food and clothing throughout their lives.

Even if the executor asks them to lead the team to a battlefield where they must die, they will resolutely obey the order.

so...

The only ones who can really form their own team and control their own destiny to the greatest extent are the pioneers in front of them.

Thinking so far, Chios looked away.

"Brother Chios, let's go too..."

Renn, who looked a little listless, approached.

Regardless of Asuna and Lyfa watching behind her, she reached out and took Chios's arm, leaning her body to cling to him.

"From early training to now, Ryan is really hungry and tired, and he can't even stand upright. Brother, let me lean on."

Hearing this, even though he was prepared, the corners of Chios' mouth still couldn't help twitching slightly.

You better be tired...

The most relaxed person in the entire barracks is undoubtedly this kitten.

The female soldiers who guide her don't need to use [-]% of their strength at all. When they are asked why they are not sweating, they casually say that it is because of their natural physique, so they pass the level smoothly with cuteness and cuteness, and spend almost the whole process in energy-saving mode.

After paddling to this point, the exhaustion shown is still very natural.

The thickness of the kitten's skin and acting skills are probably not inferior to his own.

Chios thought.

Of course, he understands that Renn's main reason for being so close is to facilitate a whispered conversation with him, so he controlled the facial muscles very cooperatively, and there was no laughing place.

He patted the girl's shoulder lightly and affectionately.

"Thank you, Ren."

"Um..."

Ryan's voice sounded soft, as if he was about to fall asleep.

Chios temporarily ignored his colleagues who seemed to be planning to carry out the energy conservation to the end, and turned his attention to Asuna and Lyfa:
