Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 82 Harvest
After the tragic battle, it rained for three consecutive days. The heavy rain heralded the coming of summer and washed away all the blood left by the battle.

After a few days of rest, Rhodes has almost fully recovered from his injuries.

In the past few days, he probably understood the whole story of the battle that night.

The newly appointed head of the Blood Ravens went to White Hart Castle to discuss the employment with Earl White at night.

When Earl White was concentrating on how to lower the price, the new leader of the Blood Ravens drew out the dagger hidden in the contract and killed Earl White suddenly.

The other lords of the Nord Kingdom took advantage of the fact that they were dealing with affairs in the territory before the official war with the Roman Empire, and none of them led the army to reach the border. However, the Blood Ravens had already colluded with the Roman Empire. Raid.

The Knights of the Dawn recently hired by the Roman Empire dispatched two hundred cavalry and ten knights with some ordinary imperial soldiers to raid White Hart Castle under the cover of night. At this time, Earl White of White Hart Castle had been captured by the new regiment of the Blood Ravens. Most of the middle and senior officers in the castle were also killed in their sleep by an unknown assassin.

White Hart Castle, which lost its command, was stunned by the sudden attack. The troops several times larger than the empire had no effect, and other hired idle mercenaries in the town's tavern were attacked by some members of the Blood Ravens in their sleep. And there was a fierce battle. Rhodes happened to see this part when he went downstairs, and the members of the Blood Ravens in the tavern had all been killed.

The large army of the Blood Ravens went to the south gate of the town. The soldiers guarding the south gate thought that reinforcements had arrived. They didn't expect the mercenaries of the Blood Ravens to stab them with swords, and then the idle mercenaries in the tavern Supported the soldiers at the South Gate, after a while of fighting.The idle mercenaries found that the situation was not good, and they all ran in all directions.

The victorious Blood Ravens mercenaries and a small group of cavalry ran to the castle for support, but were stuck on the city wall by the rough-skinned and thick-skinned Rhodes with the help of the terrain, and were finally defeated.

The escaped Blood Ravens mercenaries fled around riding the horses left by the Dawn Knights on the city wall. Perhaps a large part of them became the bandits that Rhodes and the others wanted to destroy next.

This time Rhodes gained a lot from the battle. The Baihong swordsmanship was upgraded to LV3, and he understood the essence of the basic swordsmanship, and the golden bell cover and iron cloth shirt also improved a little.

After the Baihong swordsmanship is upgraded to lv3, he can also choose an additional effect.

Effect [-]: When using Baihong Sword Art, the speed of sword dancing is accelerated.

Effect [-]: The ability to parry is enhanced when using the Baihong sword technique.

Effect [-]: When using Baihong Sword Art, the sword is covered with a layer of sword energy that increases the sharpness of the weapon.

Rhodes finally chose effect one. He felt that this effect was to strengthen both attack and defense capabilities.Effect three looks good but should only increase attack power.And in the previous battle, he discovered that infusing internal force into the sword can form sword energy.

He opened the proficiency bar again, and there was a change in it.

Iron Cloth Shirt with Admiralty Cover [Getting Better]

Active effect: Defense power increases by 30% within 150 seconds after use.

Passive effect: Greatly enhance physical and magical defense, and increase the ability to unload force in the face of physical attacks.

The duration of the active effect of the Iron Cloth Shirt with Admiralty Gauntlet has been extended, and the improved defense has also increased, but the real power of the Iron Cloth Shirt with Golden Bell Gauntlet is the passive effect. How much the passive effect has increased will be determined later in the battle. experience.

Basic Swordsmanship [First Look at the Way]

Active effect: After use, it can emit a sword energy with the sword, the power is equal to the damage of a full blow with the sword.

Passive effect: Increase the learning speed of various sword techniques and improve various abilities when using swords.

After comprehending the essence of basic swordsmanship, Rhodes changed from a mage plus a warrior to a magician plus a mage. The spells he learned couldn't match the battle, and the dark green flames on his body couldn't be used at any time like Baron. , He doesn't know how he does it every time he uses it.

He found an opportunity to test how far the sword qi could attack, and found that the sword qi was not as powerful as he imagined. Now he can only launch a sword qi that can fly up to ten meters away. The volume of the sword qi is comparable to It depends on how much internal energy he consumes.

But he is still very satisfied, after all, basic swordsmanship can no longer take up the martial arts column, and it is still very handsome to use sword energy.If in the future, if you reach the highest level of Shenzhao Gong and basic swordsmanship, you may be able to break through the army with one sword.

Rhodes opened the mall and found that his chivalrous value had increased to 359, enough for him to draw prizes three times.He found that in addition to the ordinary draw for 100 chivalrous value, there was an additional advanced lucky draw for 1000 chivalrous value.

He decided to save it for the advanced lottery draw. He thought that his task should be completed, and opened the task bar again.

Mission: Punish a hundred people you think are bad. (completed)
Rhodes received the reward of the mission, which was an opportunity for a high-level lottery draw. He chose to use it without hesitation. The golden light flashed, and it was a martial art.

Yiyang Finger: It is the unique technique of the Duan family in Dali, which can not only defend against enemies, but also heal and save people.

Rhodes was pleasantly surprised when he saw the result. One Yang Finger is a very profound martial art in martial arts novels, and it is also the foundation of the Six Meridians Excalibur. Now that there is an empty space in the martial arts column, the Yi Yang Finger is automatically mounted.

The system's Yiyang Finger is just fingering, without internal strength, which surprised Rhodes.

Rhodes tried it because it seemed that his internal strength was not deep enough, and the power of Yiyang Finger was not great. It seemed that it could only cause external injuries, not internal injuries.

It seems that now the most important thing is to practice Shenzhao Gong to deepen one's internal strength.

After that, he took on the same mission as before: punish a hundred people who you think are bad people.

……

According to Nord law, the heir of White Hart Castle is Jim White, the youngest son of the Earl of White, but he is only six years old, so his mother will temporarily manage the castle and fief until he comes of age.

Both Hamer and Baron suggested that they should abandon White Hart Castle and retreat to the castle in the north, but they were reluctant to part with Earl White's hard-won castle and territory, so they stayed here in the end, and their soldiers who could fight were still there. Less than a hundred.

Rhodes always felt that the countess looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he saw it. He thought he might have remembered it wrong, so he didn't think about it.

He began to reflect on why he always felt familiar when he saw beautiful women recently.

After seeing the new leader of the Blood Ravens being hanged, Rhodes and the others went back on the road, planning to go all the way northeast to the east coast and then all the way west to Dawn Province. Such a route could meet more robbers.

They refused the countess' reward and chose four horses and some dry food instead. The horses they had left under the city wall were snatched by the fleeing members of the Blood Ravens.

Hammer had thought that the countess would ask them to stay and help tide over the difficulties, but she didn't, which was exactly what he wanted.

Rhodes sat on the horseback, constantly gathering his internal energy on his fingers and using a male finger against the air. Baron and the others always thought that he had been stimulated by something to poke the air.

Rhodes practiced Yiyang Finger for a whole week without getting a reminder to upgrade. It seems that the more advanced the martial arts, the harder it is to upgrade.

During this week, they dealt with a group of ordinary robbers and some fleeing mercenaries from the Blood Ravens.

The Blood Ravens were the biggest losers in the previous war. The centuries-old mercenary group was forced to disband, and all members fled around like bereaved dogs.

But should they succeed, it is said that the commission promised by the Roman Empire is enough to restore him to his former glory.

Rhodes still has doubts in his heart, why the old leader of the Blood Ravens was assassinated, and it doesn't look like their previous behavior was done by his own people.

Rhodes decides whether he can't figure it out or don't think about it anymore, it's all over anyway...
