Sword Sorcery - Chapter 18

[Chapter 18 Sigh]

a moment later

“So it turns out that what happened this time is that you and Bruce beheaded 15 regular soldiers of the incoming enemy country, plus a secretly mutinous George, and then you rushed over to report it?”

Viscount Steve sat on the brown wooden armchair. After listening to Aaron and Bruce’s remarks, he kept tapping his fingers on the desk in front of him. Everyone, including Butler Luke, was quietly waiting for his decision. .

After a while, Viscount Steve decided:

“Luke, instructed to go on, all the staff are on alert, and the number of soldiers on duty in the castle at night will be doubled. In addition, everyone will be issued two months’ salaries in advance, ready to fight at any time.”

Luke nodded, but asked, “Lord Viscount, forget about those other villages, as for Doron Town…”

Viscount Steve certainly understood the meaning of Luke’s words, but he shook his head and denied: “It’s too late, Aaron said it just now, they saw the war in Doron Town on the way here. , It took at least twenty minutes for you and Aaron to come to me.”

“It’s been more than half an hour when we organize the manpower to rush over, and the outcome of this attack has already been decided. Besides, Ebel and the others have a problem with Dulong Town—except for the castle, I Judging from the level of understanding of the most important strongholds in hand, I am afraid that the fourth and fifth brigades stationed in Dolong Town are already in bad luck.”

“Now, I just hope that as many of them escape as possible, some soldiers, and return to my castle to provide some capital for the next garrison. As for the idea of sending people to Doron Town to support me, I don’t need to mention it. Now, it must be ‘the meat hits the dog, there is no return’, and it’s a waste of the living strength in our hands.”

After speaking, Viscount Steve sighed deeply. It seemed that he had given up hope for Dolong Town, and completely abandoned it as an abandoned child.

Aaron heard other meanings from Steve’s words, and couldn’t help asking: “Lord Viscount, are you planning to stick to the castle? To be honest, this time it’s not just one Earl Bell, but the entire Karas. The invasion of the empire, our side is absolutely unable to hold…”

“What nonsense!”

Viscount Steve interrupted Aaron’s words: “The Karas Empire just took the lead in action, and the Kingdom of Chino is not a vegetarian at all. During the Dawn War, the situation was much more critical than it is now. In the end, Karas Hasn’t the Empire been repelled by us?”

“As long as we persevere, follow-up support from the Kingdom of Chino will definitely arrive, and they will not allow the Karas Empire to engulf our borders! As long as we persevere, we will be able to defend here!”

When Viscount Steve spoke, his face was full of confidence, as if he had returned to the scene when he participated in the Battle of Dawn, and even Luke, who was next to him, couldn’t help but nodded, agreeing–

“Yes, with such a big movement of the Karas Empire, especially when their combined army is dispatched, it will definitely not be able to hide the Kingdom of Chino. As long as we persist until the arrival of the kingdom’s reinforcements, we will be able to defend this piece of land!”

Aaron frowned, and naturally there were ten thousand people in his heart who didn’t believe that the Kino Kingdom could stop the Karas Empire. You must know that the current Karas Empire was no better than the time of the dawn battle six years ago. Over the years, the Karas Empire has It has been annexing other surrounding countries. Although the Battle of Dawn did not swallow the Kingdom of Chino, it has weakened the strength of the Kingdom of Chino to a certain extent.

In particular, the Kingdom of Chino has been in the false glory after the end of the Battle of Dawn all these years. The entire aristocratic class did not want to make progress, but instead lived a vain life that was submissive, and desperately squeezed the civilians at the bottom.

Otherwise, when the villagers faced the slaughter of Aaron and others and the enemy soldiers,

I won’t choose to stand by and watch. The reason is that Viscount Steve’s excessive taxation and oppression over the years have made the civilians have a long-standing resentment in their hearts, which finally broke out when the enemy soldiers invaded.

Under such a big environment, Aaron would not believe it if the Kingdom of Chino could defend the invasion of the Karas Empire, but seeing the confidence of Viscount Steve and Butler Luke, Aaron Not much to say-

After all, Aaron is only a quasi-knight-level soldier, while Viscount Steve and Butler Luke are the decision makers in the territory, and they are the official knights with great power.

“Okay, let’s stop this topic~!”

Viscount Steve clapped his hands and glanced at Aaron and Bruce, who were covered in blood, with a hint of admiration in their eyes: “You two have done a good job this time, you are indeed the elite soldiers under my Steve, Wait for you and Luke to get half a year’s salary-according to the level of the team leader.”

After finishing speaking, Steve waved his hand: “I think after this bloody battle, you must be exhausted. You must miss your fragrant bed, right? Then I will not keep you any more, there is nothing to do. If so, go back and rest.”

“Yes, then let’s go.”

Just when Aaron was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly remembered something important and hurriedly said: “By the way, Lord Viscount, I don’t have the second part of “Circular Cross Breathing” yet, and I want to borrow it from you. Take it.”

Viscount Steve has three complete knightly breathing methods, namely “Circular Cross Breathing”, “Crossing Breathing” and “Steel Breathing” – the three breathing methods have different focuses, but there is no The real difference between pros and cons.

The manuscripts recording the breathing method are all in the hands of Viscount Steve. On weekdays, as long as the team leader or a quasi-knight-level person applies to the Viscount, the Viscount will show them the second part of the manuscript to improve their future strength.

Hearing Aaron’s request, Bruce quietly glanced at Aaron in surprise, because he had a fresh memory of Aaron’s terrifying physical sensitivity when he was in the village and slashed three soldiers in a row. I just entered the quasi-knight level, and I have never practiced the second part of the breathing method!

However, Bruce wisely didn’t ask. Obviously everyone has their own secrets. If he asks it out here, wouldn’t he offend Aaron for nothing?

What’s more, this Aaron is really deep and thoughtful, and he doesn’t want to forge any more relationships with him – it’s better to try to please Aaron as much as possible.

Viscount Steve naturally didn’t know what Bruce was thinking at the moment. Of course, he also thought that Aaron had just been promoted to a quasi-knight.

So, Steve walked to the only two rows of bookshelves in the study, took down a thick book, and handed it to Aaron: “This is the second part of “Circular Cross Breathing”, remember after reading it Return it to my study, well, if you have nothing else to do, you can leave.”

Aaron and others bowed and retire.

After the figures disappeared, Steve turned around and looked through the huge French window, staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze. After a long time, a faint sigh sounded——

“Hey…….”

(Originally, when I was in this book with 30,000 words, I saw that it was not short, and I had already cut it out in advance, and even the outline of the next book had been sorted out. As a result, the 40,000 words were short and subconsciously. contract.)

(Now, I’m in a very embarrassing situation. I don’t have the feeling I had when I wrote this book, and I can even say that my mind is all on the next book. This is a really bad situation, especially for a web writer. As far as writers are concerned. I had to bite the bullet and code three or four sheets according to the set outline, but I still couldn’t get back the feeling I had, because—)

(Because I can clearly feel that the next book, which is more than half completed, is smoother than this book, and I can even think of countless related plots in my mind very smoothly. Moreover, it can even be said that inspiration pours out like a tide. , this is a good situation that I have never experienced since I entered the business with more than a million words. So I made a decision after thinking about it.)

(This book, try to keep it updated every day, anyway, it is a hobby… The eunuch will not, you can rest assured, at most… Sometimes it may be Update it from time to time.)
