Chapter 1169 1151. Departure
Sixty skilled swordsmen fought without armor
Lan Endu doubted whether the person standing in front of him at the end could collect ten bones that were not broken.
But the final result was surprisingly good.
??There were many Ember Knights with broken bones, but most of those standing in front of Lan En were just sweating a little and their silk shirts were a little messy.
?This means that they were not touched by their opponents in the entire unarmored sword fight that lasted a very short period of time but caused injuries when they touched each other.
Sent the opponent off the field without injury.
This kind of battle may have an element of luck and performance.
??However, if an ordinary officer fights with a peasant who has never held a sword before and has no armor, he would not dare to say that he can end without any injuries.
The level of the ten of them is undoubtedly very strong.
?Lincoln was among them.
"I''m surprised." Lan En said as he looked at the newly selected honorary swordsman standing in front of him. "You are not used to using long knives. This is completely different from the weapons you received in Sintra for more than ten years before your life."
“But you still used it well in such a short period of time, and you even had your own idea of ????translating the swordsmanship characteristics of Cintra into a long sword.”
Just like Temeria has the Temerian standard long sword, Velen is subdivided into the Velen long sword, and Novigrad, a chaotic and prosperous free city, produced the Novigrad short sword.
?Although the shapes of weapons tend to evolve together, the shapes are ultimately different due to different enemies, different battlefield environments, different combat requirements, or simply adding characteristics to highlight where the weapons belong.
Most of the people in the Knights of Ember were originally descendants of the nobles of Cintra. After the city of Cintra was captured, they were gathered together by the palace steward Haxo, and mixed with Stewart''s formation to cover the escape of the civilians.
They received the most orthodox training of the knights of Sintra in the first half of their lives.
??Cintra, which has a strong folk custom and is close to the sea, has always had a lot of contacts with the Skellige Islands. It doesn''t matter whether this "interaction" is robbery or friendship, anyway, the influence is mutual.
? So as a continental country, although Cintra still uses swords because of its knightly culture, it has actually absorbed many Skellige people''s battle ax style.
Their swords are thicker and heavier than those of other countries, and are generally called Sintra long swords.
In the sword fight just now, their style was also to use strong and heavy chops with correct postures, without many fine skills in using long swords.
But this performance alone shows that the Ember Knights are not a bunch of idiots in terms of swordsmanship. On the contrary, they have foundation, talent, and even creativity.
Lan En felt very interested.
“Pierced armor, ready to go.”
Succinct and crisp orders were issued, but the Ember Knights seemed to have returned to that glorious battlefield.
The corner of his mouth unconsciously revealed nostalgia and excitement.
?Contrary to Lan En''s expectation, he came lightly dressed, but when he left, he took ten fully armed knights with him.
Lincoln returned to Lane''s position as clerk.
??And this guy really listened to Lan En''s previous suggestion. When he was out fighting, he installed steel book corners on the large notepad on his waist that looked like a crossbody bag.
—
??Ten Ember Knights were added to the journey near Elland, although inevitably the regular cavalry would slow down the Qilin.
However, this time error is still within the margin set aside by Lan En in advance and is acceptable.
??Kirin is also happy to slow things down.
?Lately, it always feels that the pale horn on its head seems to be growing faster than the last time it was broken off.
At night, when the horse was sleeping on its stomach, it seemed that it could hear the tiny "clicking" sounds of crystal growth and condensation above its head through the conduction of its skull.
In this case, it certainly hopes that it can grow its pale horn before officially dealing with the trouble in that abnormal area.
??It is no longer the little unicorn that carelessly eats terrestrial kelp on the coral platform of the New World.
??After having several adventures and traveling through several worlds with Lan En, Qilin felt that his knowledge might be better than that of his parents.
?Having seen a lot of mysterious things, now we have to deal with an abnormal area with unknown conditions. Of course, it wants to appear in full glory to feel safe.
??After coming to the Magical Middle Ages, I felt that the vitality of the creatures here was quite weak, and it was completely incomparable to that of the New World. Qilin also ran away and played unscrupulously for a while.
In the Blue Mountains behind Kaer Morhen, Qilin dares to run deeper. In the boundless ocean behind Arethusa, Qilin dared to deviate from the proven route and explore the depths.
But as his horizons have broadened and he has gained more knowledge, he has now settled down.
?This world does not have a lot of vitality, but its magical abilities are strong and weird!
In terms of magic and supernatural power, Qilin is still completely confused.
In the world of fire, it stayed in the darkness with the velvet ball. As a result, the discomfort and fear from its soul almost scared it out of control.
Haven’t even encountered an enemy, it was purely the natural environment that affected it.
??Then we arrived at Arda. Smaug''s scales, evil spirit, and dragon fire were fine, but what were Zhaogluin''s claws? !
Space cutting!
Even if the Kirin is surrounded by thunder and strengthened, it can''t stop it! Therefore, the ancient dragons from the New World no longer dare to travel too far.
?Let’s just keep it that way, why don’t we just live in peace.JPG
Marching all the way, the quality of the Ember Knights ensured that they did not fall behind or fail to keep up when Qilin controlled the speed.
??Departing from the high hill castle that was originally located in the hinterland of southeastern Wellen, adjacent to the ancient oak tree on Balder Mountain, we arrived in the middle of Wellen at night.
This area has a primitive style that has not been developed by civilization.
?The woods are dense and sultry, and the swamps and meadows are mixed together. You may fall into it if you make the wrong step. As night fell, there were even weirder sounds in the surroundings, as well as howls of wolves and shouts of monsters.
?Only the looming outline of the dirt road that has been trampled by people on the ground can prove that this place is still visited by people and is not a completely wild place.
“Puff!”
There was a crisp sound of a sharp blade entering flesh, followed by the blade being pulled away from the body, and the smell of blood spread from the wound into the air.
The precise and decisive technique ensures that the blade does not make an unusual dry sound as it rubs against the bone, and is very smooth.
"This is the last wolf in the neighborhood." said an Ember Knight, taking back his spear and wiping the wolf blood, wolf hair and grease on the gun head. "Are we going to eat wolf tonight?"
“It’s too much trouble, so I can’t do it.” Lan En said indifferently, “I have a lot of supplies in my bag, so I don’t need to go to such trouble.”
?So the Ember Knight put away his spear and came to the lit bonfire.
The Knights of Ember respect Lann as a god, but their relationship is not cordial.
When they cooperated in fighting guerrillas in the occupied Sintra border area, they always ate and lived together.
When they were relaxing, the knights would joke to Lan En, for example, that he was actually younger than most of the knights.
Lincoln was currently shaving with a small mirror on his face.
Lan said that his embarrassing period of growing a beard was too ugly, so it would be better to shave it off.
?Although Lincoln himself always wanted to look more mature, he had no choice but to bear the pain and hold up the mirror and let the brothers of the Knights behind him laugh and scratch it off.
“Come and eat, meow!”
??Beside the campfire, the small three-flowered Ellu cat was shaking the pot and shouting energetically.
“Buttery fried bread slices with bacon and cheese shreds! I also found some wild leeks nearby, chopped them up and added them in!”
?? flannel ball also helped cook in the chef cat of the New World Survey Group. Whether it tastes good or not, he is very proficient in the operation.
With the help of the other two knights, it was soon busy with the efficiency of a big pot.
“Thank you, Mr. Velvet Ball.”
“Ah, there’s no need to call me meow so seriously! I’m a little embarrassed, meow!”
When Lin Buqiu heard this address, the triangular ears on his head twitched uncomfortably.
Ellu cats are brave, optimistic, active, and enjoy working. It’s hard not to like them.
??The two Ember Knights who made a fire and cooked with it were initially a little unfamiliar and reserved and distantly respectful because it was following Lan En, but they soon started chatting and laughing.
??Although Lincoln was ordered to shave and turned into a hairless young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, he still arranged vigils and vigilance shifts, and distributed food.
Qilin’s four legs were bent and he was lying behind Lan En. The mane-bearded chin rubbed against the ground in boredom.
?It wasn''t until the demon hunter stretched his hand back and brought a hard-looking object to its mouth that Qilin snorted happily, opened its mouth, picked it up and started to nibble on it.
?That was Lan En’s original alchemical ration in order to meet the material needs for intense bone growth after he was implanted with the [Bone Strengthening Organ].
?Later, after the period of rapid bone growth passed, he stopped eating much, but he still had a box of brick-like inventory buried under the bed in the secret culvert.
?This thing is indeed hard enough to be used as a brick to support a bed.
But after returning this time, Qilin took advantage of the fact that no one was in the secret culvert, so he dug it out for some reason and started to chew it.
According to it, it suddenly felt that the taste of this place was a bit delicious, so it turned over the bed, found it and started eating.
Although it had smelled these special rations before, it had no interest in them.
Fish and kelp in the sea are obviously more delicious.
I don’t know if the current situation has something to do with the extremely fast growth of its pale horns this time.
??However, Lan En was well aware of the outrageous aspects of the creatures in the New World, and he was ready to see what Qilin could do after it was given free rein.
