Burning the world from pirates.

Chapter 1946: The Hell of Reading

He experienced the most tragic battlefield, the most chaotic village, and also encountered the invasion of dark beasts.

Guts was a little out of breath after killing a monster with a gorilla head.

Is the South so chaotic now?

Basically, we have to fight a big battle every time we go to a place.

Even in such a situation, they don't even think about eliminating these evils, but instead blockade the Southern Republic. Are these kings crazy?

Theoretically speaking, their siege of the Republic was not crazy.

The darkness on the continent was originally evenly distributed, with more darkness in densely populated areas and less darkness in wild mountains and wilderness.

But someone cleared the darkness in a large area, forcing these auras to roam in the surrounding areas.

With the various instigations of the demons behind the scenes, the area surrounding the Southern Republic is indeed the most dangerous place.

Guts relied on his extraordinary skills to overcome numerous obstacles and finally set foot in the Southern Republic.

The moment I walked in here, I felt a sense of relief, which was particularly obvious in contrast to the chaos outside.

The people here have smiles on their faces and the soldiers here have high spirits.

They are not afraid of their great swords, their armor covered with marks, or their fierce temperament.

This kind of confidence is not seen anywhere else.

I bought a map and headed straight to the core of the Republic, the Grand Council Hall.

Guts' arrival was also discovered by the intelligence department. It is unknown what kind of disturbance the appearance of this Eagle Regiment's stormtrooper captain, who is also quite famous on the battlefield, will bring.

You know, the Eagle Group that ended the Hundred Years' War is still a prestigious mercenary group on the continent.

In the past, rising from a thug and a commoner to become a noble was considered the most exciting legend of crossing class boundaries.

It just doesn't seem as explosive compared to the south.

"The Eagle Group, are you coming to attack us too?"

The intelligence agent's eyes were filled with eagerness to try.

Many famous mercenary groups had previously been defeated outside the border, leaving behind enough heads as merit.

The average combat effectiveness of the Republic's soldiers is increasing rapidly, with sufficient food, scientific training methods, lighter and harder equipment, and armed ideological will.

Several years of resistance war have forged a revolutionary army with ideas.

The overall entity has already exceeded the imagination of other countries. The reason why a full-scale counterattack has not been launched is simply because the Speaker is still dealing with those demons.

By the time it is dealt with, red will be sweeping across the continent.

Of course, if someone starts a war, we won't tolerate it.

If we can kill the Eagle Group
"Never mind. The Speaker wants to see him."

Guts was escorted by the temporary guards to the Great Council Hall to wait for the man.

Half an hour later Noah came out.

"I'm sorry, I was just discussing with the Spirit Tree House and Fairy Island about their settlement in the Republic, and the discussion wasn't very ideal."

This is the first time I've heard of this force, but it must be an extraordinary force that deserves the serious attention of the Speaker of the Republic of No.

"You're here to challenge me, right? Follow me."

Before Gus could say anything, Noah brought the somewhat confused young man to the training ground. It was obvious that he was really busy.

So the battle was over quickly.

Time and again, he used his extraordinary swordsmanship to ravage the black swordsman's heart.

Five minutes seemed like five days.

Gus thought he was making rapid progress, but Noah told him he still had a long way to go.

“You have great talent, not in your physical body or swordsmanship, but in your will.

But if you want to catch up with me, you need to understand the truth and reason, so read some books and learn. "

"Master Noah, I am not."

"Oh, I understand. You don't have a book? I have one here."

"Master Noah, I..."

"Someone, take him to the library. The book list will be delivered soon."

"."

Guts' body had just been defeated by the swordsmanship, and now he was thrown into the prison without any power to resist.

"Don't think this place looks like a prison. It used to be a prison."

"There's also a nice and strange name, Voyager."

"The reason why this place exists is because too many generals are unwilling to learn, so Lord Noah specially transformed it."

"Hey, read these books first, and tell me when you're done."

The well-mannered caretaker brought a stack of books and gave Gus some encouragement and care.

Those who can be imprisoned here by Lord Noah are all top talents, and this guy will become a big man in the future.

Gus is still confused as he looks at the sunlight outside the iron window.

I'm not here to challenge you, I'm a bloody mercenary who's eager for a fight.

Is there a problem in any link?
The next six months were the most terrible torture in the world for Guts.

You are only allowed to practice swordsmanship in the morning, you have to read in the afternoon, and there are progress assessments every week.

Noah would also teach Guts swordsmanship seriously in his spare time.

As combat effectiveness increases, the mercenary sword style learned on the battlefield in the past is obviously no longer applicable.

First of all, the monsters' vital points are different from those of humans. Their heads, hearts, etc. cannot be killed with one strike.

The physique is also different, and the heavy sword cannot gain an advantage against ordinary people.

So he transformed the Frost Moon Sword Art in the extraordinary system into heavy swordsmanship and taught it to Guts, laying the foundation again.

It is worth affirming that Guts not only does not reject the little tricks of Shimotsuki Kendo, but also keeps innovating. He is indeed a mercenary who will use any means to kill the enemy.

As for nightmares
He was already in hell.

Time flies, and the young swordsman's life in prison is particularly fulfilling.

Reading, sword practice, and challenges.

There are rewards for prison exams, which are challenges that occur once a month.

Guts took the challenge six times in half a year, and each time he persisted, he lasted shorter and shorter.

But he was also becoming more and more excited, because the short time did not mean he was regressing, but that Noah's attacks were getting stronger and stronger.

This speed of improvement is terrifying, but the new swordsmanship still lacks the training of killing.

"Half a year is almost up, let's go and complete a mission."

"Oh, this is your partner, Buck from Fairy Island. Fairy scale powder can heal injuries. Let's go on the mission together."

Looking at the flying little thing, Gus did not refuse.

After half a year of study, he knew what a fairy was like. A therapist who could be available anytime and anywhere was a top-level configuration.

"What is the mission?"

Guts did not resist Noah's instructions. To a certain extent, the person who taught him knowledge and swordsmanship was his teacher.

"Go here and look for evidence of the Count's crime."

"Cooperate with the Republic's spies to overthrow this territory."

After changing into a new heavy sword and putting on a black cloak, Guts set out with his goblin healer.

Leaving the territory of the Republic, darkness returned.

They defeated the lord of Gaojia City along the way and easily killed the snake-scale monster.

After eliminating several demonized mercenary groups, they finally reached their destination.
