Chapter 32: Progress, Returning
There is a high-end tavern building in the territory, which can not only be used to inquire about various information, but more importantly, it has an additional main channel for consuming source energy to take over various tasks.
The higher the level of the tavern, the higher the level of the task you can take over, the more types of tasks, and the higher the chance of recruiting advanced warriors or even stranding powerful heroes.
The low-level high-level warriors and heroes of the tavern are unwilling to stay in, and they will leave quickly even if they stay in.
Before and after the offensive and defensive battle in Jerbauburg, Zhu Peng pulled out hired crossbowmen, Yatman, and a team of professional warriors, heavy armored swordsmen from the first-level tavern, which could almost be said to be a great fortune.
It is normal to hire crossbowmen. Heroes like Yatman and high-level professional warriors are not normally kept in first-level taverns. Although Zhu Peng spent a lot of money to hire professional warriors and crossbowmen, the normal situation should be that even if the lord wants to spend a lot of money, he cannot find a suitable warrior to hire in a low-level tavern.
In the valley between Gerbburg and Elbuk Castle, the Caster family and his son became famous for two consecutive ambush battles in which the weak defeated the strong. Originally, an unknown small valley was named "Caster Ambush Valley" on the military map as a geographical location that was vigilant.
But in fact, Viscount William's battle was indeed a truly successful ambush, and the battle commanded by Zhu Peng later... is hard to say it was an ambush. The reason for the victory was more of a tactical victory and a huge luck.
In fact, before leading his army into the valley, Count Magali was mentally prepared for the possible ambush. If he had not misjudged the power of the head-on charge of the Free Knights, if Viscount Javier's cavalry team cut into the battlefield at a normal speed, it would be different if Zhu Peng could escape. The second battle of Caster's ambushing the valley was really a gamble for Zhu Peng, but he was lucky to win.
But even so, killing ten thousand enemies and losing three thousand will lead to almost the most elite knights in the Kingdom of Vigia. He defeated the strong with the weak and forced himself to bite it. It can be said that Zhu Peng's mouth was full of blood.
After that battle, 39 of the fifty infantry soldiers under Nabar were killed in battle, and ten injured were almost destroyed. Twenty Free Knights, thirty Hellhounds, five of the Free Knights were killed in battle, three of the injured, and twenty-four of the thirty Hellhounds were injured, and five of the thirty Hellhounds were injured. Except for the Crimson Devil Dog, all of them were destroyed.
It fully demonstrates that the lower the level of troops, the higher the chance of death on the battlefield. Faced with the heavy and sharp weapons of those high-level soldiers, if they do not have enough thick and strong armor to protect them, they will either die or be disabled if they are hit.
However, the Crimson Devil Dog gained huge growth nutrients in that fierce war. After returning to Gerbburg and having a crazy meal, when Zhu Peng saw it again the next day, the demon dog had changed a lot... The three-headed flame breathing dog in the Hell is like a giant bear. The key is that the flame breathing ability it possesses is too shocking for the Carardia warrior who has no magic resistance attributes.
The huge losses after the battle made Zhu Peng recruit farmers and soldiers of Mazan Village at high prices after receiving a huge ransom from Earl of Magali, and scattered mercenaries suitable for human forces in the tavern at high prices.
Recruiting Hellhounds has already shown a weakening judgment of -20. If you recruit some beasts, swamps, and Jerbourg's army morale may collapse directly. You can control the dual races and have some operation space, and control the multiple races... I don't know if anyone can do it, but I can't do it anyway.
At the same time, Zhu Peng tried hard to take over various tavern tasks that could be carried by strength in all directions in order to restore military strength as soon as possible.
This is also the merchant who drank in a tavern. The so-called Viscount Rod personally led his army to patrol and protect the interests of the caravan. In fact, Zhu Peng's original intention was not to protect the interests of the merchant. However, the army in the castle had been dispatched more, so there were naturally fewer pirate troops or other robber organizations around the castle. This relatively safe environment has in disguisely increased the commercial trade value of Jerberburg.
Although, Zhu Peng didn't care much about this.
After fighting with Magali two months ago, Zhu Peng followed his promise to prepare Nabar for the money to let the one-purpose pirate king leave.
As Zhu Peng expected, as the three plane worlds superimposed, the fog of war spread wildly, and various powerful fantasy creatures emerged one after another. In just one and a half months, Nabar, who was almost mentally collapsed, led his nearly 100 pirate army back to join Viscount Rhodes.
Although the chaos in the current situation can indeed make the pirate army make a comeback, the pirates who have lived without a fixed place for a long time are more likely to be attacked by monsters than the people in other human settlements.
Villages and castles are built there, and fantasy lives that are usually not very powerful or mild in nature do not take the initiative to approach or even attack. The pirate army wandering around the world is different. They may be attacked like the people in human settlements, or they may mistakenly enter any territory of fantasy lives.
In the past two months, Nabar brought his brothers to fight with monsters and various other monsters more frequently than took his brothers out to rob. Although life is not impossible to persist, when I think back to the young lord in Jerbburg, Nabar doesn't feel very repulsive after thinking about it. What's more, after the thick fog every day, there are more and more monsters, and it's getting stronger and stronger. I heard that the legendary invincible life: the giant dragon appeared on the Swadia continent.
Finally, with the addition of multiple reasons, Nabar chose to defect to Rod Caster in Gerbourg. This was what Zhu Peng expected, but he didn't expect Nabar to be so cowardly. After all, the other party was a man who had the ambition to establish a pirate kingdom.
"Or it was the intuition of a beast raised by wandering from the knife to lick blood since childhood? This guy probably vaguely noticed the ripples of the huge changes in the world, just like an animal before an earthquake or a tsunami. That man chose to hide and save his life as a solid nest..." That night, Zhu Peng, who was sitting at the table, said to John Watson beside him.
With Nabal's pirate army of nearly 100 people, Zhu Peng's cards were much easier to play, and Nabal's people hoped that more and more pirates would come to seek asylum. Although the pirates had the problem of rebelliousness, Zhu Peng's current view was that the more they were, so he would take them out to fight two battles and release two blood, so he would naturally be obedient.
However, Nabar is not a world-renowned hero with plane luck.
Although he is a limit breaker and his personal combat power is beyond the eight streets of Yatman, that's all. He is a grassroots hero who has tried to break through the limit of fate and has gained his allegiance. Zhu Peng did not receive any help from luck, which is a flaw in this matter.
...Attack from all sides, Shunchang died...
Late at night, in the wild, in the army camp.
Zhu Peng held the wooden sword in his right hand and the round shield in his left hand. He fought against Nabar with his upper body naked.
There was no entertainment at night in the Middle Ages in the West. Civilians could also choose to go to a tavern to drink some bad wine or go home to find a wife to make a play. Of course, the soldiers in the marching could not have these pastimes. Whether it was spirits or women, they were all prohibited in military life.
However, fighting is not prohibited. The soldiers did not wear armor and held heavy ironwood swords to sharpen their fighting skills around the bonfire, and even gambling was allowed at the opening gamble.
At this moment, Zhu Peng held the wooden sword shield and fought against Nabal, who was holding a strong and agile black panther, holding a heavy sword with both hands. Two months later, Rod Custer, who was originally a little creamy, had already lost his original aristocratic habits and truly integrated into the military.
Conquering Yatman, he consumed twenty points of source energy to rush his mental power to the extreme value of first-class apprenticeship. This is the most cost-effective method for the precious source energy. The personal luck of the indigenous people in the plane unravels the seal of their own power by different plane worlds.
Now Zhu Peng can become a formal wizard by finding a suitable place and conducting a simple transformation ceremony. This precious experience will also return to the original body with his return, allowing the original body of the Earth semi-plane of the wizard world to obtain a breakthrough.
However, the power of a wizard is strong. After all, it is still a bit shameful in the current Kaladia continent. At the same time, it is also because Zhu Peng is better at martial arts power, so although it is not cost-effective, Zhu Peng still chooses to directly consume source energy to fill his body and body.
Rod Custer himself is a playboy. He is young and overly drunk and has lost his life. Yuanyang is in short supply and does not have much talent for martial arts. Even though he consumes twenty-five points of origin and superimposes Zhu Peng's secret method of foundation-building, he has only barely trained his body to the peak of the dark energy and enter the magic energy.
However, it is enough to control Zhu Peng to deal with the opponent in front of him. The martial arts of the Kaladia continent are fierce and fierce, but they are secretive in the changes. The most important thing is that they have no involvement in the field of mental methods, and they still follow the basic ways of controlling moves simply by instinct and fury. In this mental state, there is only oneself and the enemy, and the utilization rate of the external environment is quite low.
Zhu Peng drifted the center of gravity with the left shield and right sword. Although his strength was not as great as Nabar and his speed was not faster than the opponent, he was able to seize the initiative. His every move made Nabar extremely angry. As time went by, he gradually lost his calmness. In other words, Nabar never thought that the warrior in a single challenge needed to be calm. Furious brought recklessness and ferocity and strength!
He slashed out several swords one after another. The one he held in his hands was obviously a wooden sword, but it tore the air and made a terrifying whine sound, which was intimidating.
However, no matter how strong the attack is, it is useless if it cannot hit people.
Zhu Peng changed his steps, sometimes moving forward and sometimes retreating, and there was a charm between space and rhythm. Nabar was unknowingly led by Zhu Peng to the tent next to him.
Finally, he blocked his opponent who was as slick as a mouse in a dead corner. At this moment, Barr no longer cares who his opponent was. He roared and held his sword in his hands and slashed down. His power was fierce and his murderous aura swept across the battlefield. He had a spirit of fighting on the battlefield and suppressing all directions.
This was almost an terrifying blow that could not be avoided or even Zhu Peng could not defend without injury. Nabal, a fool, had a brain congested with fighting, and completely forgot to keep his strength when facing his own boss.
However, the long and heavy wooden sword with a long and heavy hand slashed on the support pole of the tent behind Zhu Peng. As the foreword said, the warriors of the Kaladia continent lacked the sensitivity of looking at the six directions and listening to all directions, and their utilization rate of the surrounding environment was also surprisingly low.
Of course, this is relatively speaking. It can also be said that Nabar was confused by Zhu Peng.
Nabal, whose empty door was wide open, suddenly approached by Zhu Peng holding the shield sword. The round shield with the left hand rotated and attacked, and it was as strong as a spiral. It was obviously a wooden shield, but Zhu Peng made a steel drill bit charm during the attack. The round shield hit Nabal's lower abdomen, making the man as strong as a beast suddenly flushed red. At the same time, the right hand slashed on the short sword, and the force condensed on the blade, quickly and heavy. The sound of tearing sounds came from the air. A moment before cutting Nabal's carotid artery, Zhu Peng turned the sword edge into the hilt of the sword, and hit the side face of the pirate king like a hammer.
After a dull "bang" sound, the arrogant and ferocious Pirate King was easily knocked down by Zhu Peng with a combo with the left shield and right sword.
At the moment Nabar fell, a few soldiers shouted loudly next to the betting market, while more soldiers from the Pirates were dejected and extremely upset. However, no matter whether they won or lost the bet, they looked at Zhu Peng with respect and awe.
They can understand every move that the lord uses, but the effects produced by these moves are not understood by them.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhu Peng did not hesitate to directly consume a large amount of source energy to fill his body. The power of wizard spells can only make these warriors panic, fear, and even hate.
Only by using the power they can understand and understandable to become their leader can they gain as much recognition as possible.
"Carry Nabal's SB into his tent... Okay, you bastards are almost playing so you go back and have a break early. We have to hurry to go tomorrow." Naturally, some subordinates sent towels and clothes to wipe their bodies. After being dressed properly, Zhu Peng ordered the soldiers to disperse, and he himself returned to the tent to prepare for rest.
Suddenly, a lightning-like perception passed through his mind, causing Zhu Peng to stiffen his body. This was a signal sent by other spy shadow wizards, which informed his companions to enter the world of light as soon as possible. Generally, no one would use it easily because the inspirator would consume a little source energy.
Basically no one would joke about this kind of thing. Correspondingly, other spy shadows will enter the alien space as soon as possible to participate in the light meeting as soon as possible.
