The sound of the crossbow's bow string being released kept ringing.
A black shadow flashed quickly, constantly changing direction, but with a muffled groan, it had to stop.
Geer patted his right shoulder. There was a white spot on the black clothes. He knew that there might be redness and swelling under the clothes.
"Ten meters is the limit."
Several young people stood nearby holding crossbows, respectfully waiting for Geer's next order.
"If you are shot by a crossbow within ten meters, you can dodge four out of five arrows. But even so, as long as you are hit once, it is meaningless no matter how much you dodge."
Geer thought about it secretly, and asked the servants to step back five meters and continue training. After all, he was only exercising his body's agility during the recovery period to prevent his physical fitness from declining too much due to recuperation. If during training,
It's just not worth it to hurt yourself again.
The servants retreated as instructed, and then began shooting at Gurr's order.
This distance is much easier for Geer. As long as he is not hit by continuous covering fire, it is not a big problem to avoid these single-man crossbows controlled by servants who can only be regarded as ordinary soldiers.
After practicing for an hour, Geer, who was covered in sweat, asked the servants to step back and ended the training.
The servants retreated in fear. Even if the arrows were removed and replaced with wooden sticks covered with round heads, facing the master who could control their life and death, these servants would feel anxious every time they pulled the trigger.
Especially the servant who had hit Gal. By the end of the training, he was sweating even more than Gal who had finished the training.
Now Geer asked these servants to step back, which made them all breathe a sigh of relief.
"Come here, Luna." Geer clapped his hands.
At the edge of the training ground, the maid Luna, who had been waiting there, hurried over.
"Please give me your instructions, my lord."
"I want to take a shower, go get ready."
"OK."
Watching Luna leave quickly, Geer walked slowly for a while to eliminate the muscle tension caused by the intense exercise before heading towards his personal bathroom.
I have to admire that the manor in the capital is different. The bathroom is not like in Winterset Castle, which is just a boxy and closed space built with bricks. It can only rely on servants to continuously bring water in. But now
The personal bathrooms in the manor where Geer lives have a large enough bathtub and an independent heating system, which completely turns bathing into a pleasure.
An hour later, Geer walked out of the bathroom refreshed and exhausted, his fatigue gone without a trace.
Outside the bathroom, the maid Luna was waiting quietly.
"Sir, Miss Lucaline is here and is waiting for you in the reception room on the first floor."
"I see."
Geer strode downstairs.
At the same time every day, Lucaline would come on time to report the information. After these days, Tian Geer had already become accustomed to it.
"Lucalin, have you found out the information about that person?"
After a normal formal salute between superiors and subordinates, Geer and Lucaline sat opposite each other.
"There is no news yet, but we already know that their target is Emrock in the southwest." Lucalin replied.
"Emlock?" Geer muttered to himself. What he was tracking was the whereabouts of Bellif and his party. This was not because he was unconvinced in the last battle and wanted to continue fighting. Geer was not arrogant yet.
He thinks that he can now be sure to deal with Bellif's strange method. The problem is that Bellif and his party randomly looted some of the exhibits when they evacuated, and the bronze spear that Ger was very concerned about was among them. This thing is very suitable for him.
You will never give up.
"Emlock, it's so far away, can you still keep up with them?" Geer asked softly.
"It's very troublesome. Emrock was originally the territory of the Felian Empire. It has only been occupied by our country for more than ten years. The local people are not attached to it. Moreover, it is also connected with the territories of the other two major countries. Except for a few large strongholds, the rest of the places are actually
In a semi-independent state, it is difficult for us to develop our strength there."
Emlok was originally part of Purpasakla, the core territory in the northwest of the Philian Empire. Purpasakla was famous for trade during the Philian Empire, with rich products and exchanges with the other three major powers. During its heyday, there were fleets of vehicles traveling between them.
It is said to be able to draw a long line around the borders of the four countries. Caravans from the east and west countries gather there. The trading atmosphere is extremely lively. It has always been known as the golden channel. It can be said that it is the gateway to the Phillian Empire and even the entire world.
are the most prosperous places.
However, the war changed everything. The fall of the Phillian Empire caused Purpa Sakhara to become a big fat piece of meat. Under constant small-scale conflicts and fierce negotiations, the original golden channel was divided into three parts, each divided by Ke
Natas, the Kilufian Federation and the Gant Empire were divided among the three countries, and the one assigned to Konatas was Emrock.
"Express gratitude to the invaders who destroyed the old era for us! Because they swept away the dust accumulated on Konatas and were able to welcome this new era with a brand new look."
This is a famous saying said by Fermorian, the most famous scholar of San Lotaro. Although the words contain irony, on the other hand, they can be regarded as telling the truth.
Fierce and violent invaders often destroy the old social order of the invaded country, and sometimes inject regenerative power into the country. The war that nearly destroyed the country gave Konatas a new life, and the priests who supported the old system
The vassal nobles lost their power and were wiped out, making Konatas become an important part of the world's power.
Of course, this can only prove that Konatas is truly blessed with luck. As an opposite example, that is the Felian Empire. The original world pole is already a thing of the past. It has not gained new power like Konatas, and
It can only grow more and more corrupt in the midst of decay. Except for the Phillian Republic Army, which has been doing banditry while claiming to restore the flag, the original appearance of this country has long been buried in history, and only those troubadours can occasionally sing it.
Its glory is just like those great countries that have been lost in history.
The word that best describes the situation in the land of the original Phillian Empire now is chaos.
As an area that was not originally part of the country and often had conflicts with other countries, the rule period was also short. The three countries that divided these lands all adopted the same strategy - to ensure the stability of the core area, and other areas only needed to pay taxes stably and not hold high positions.
If you rebel against the flag, the three countries will not pay attention to it. In fact, the dividing line between the three countries is a mess.
In this way, this land that was originally called paradise is now full of bandits and refugees, plus the remnants of the original Feilian Empire, criminals who escaped from various places, nobles and priests who have lost their former rights, the chaos and bandits are all over the place.
It can be said that it is a chaotic place for mercenaries. As long as civilians leave the protected core area, the probability of death is as high as 50% or more.
Emlock is a microcosm of the entire Phillian region, and this chaotic situation makes it extremely difficult for the Brotherhood of Steel to develop there.
By the way, most of the annual national missions are arranged in the vast Felian region, and Elmrock is listed as one of the most difficult regions.
"Is there any way to get more detailed information?"
"If all the power in Emlock is concentrated, it is still possible." Lucalin was silent for a while and gave the answer.
Geer curled his fingers and tapped on the table, and the crisp sound continued to echo in the closed room. After a long time, he continued to speak: "I remember that I have the right to announce the mission of the entire organization once this year."
"Yes, you can issue a task at your own expense, and the task will be distributed to various branches. But the price paid for the task must be of sufficient value."
"According to the information in the organization, the martial arts that can touch the threshold of a great knight are all secrets that are not passed down."
"Yes, this kind of martial arts is of very high value. There are always people in the organization who are offering bounties in the hope of obtaining it. The top ones on the highest bounty list are all tasks of this type, but few people can complete it."
Geer nodded. Based on such a long period of research, he has understood the difference between the Great Knight's martial arts and ordinary martial arts. The most critical one is the basic breathing method that Geer acquired when he first obtained the Thorn Sword Technique. The Great Knight
The characteristic of martial arts is that during practice, it will produce energy similar to the basic breathing method that can purify the body, but ordinary martial arts do not. The basic breathing method is separated from the thorn swordsmanship by Geer using the analysis module. Simply practice basic breathing.
Dharma will put a lot of pressure on the internal organs of the body, just like Sophia must take a break after practicing for half an hour, but this will not be the case if the whole set of martial arts is practiced.
But this kind of martial arts is not a common commodity, there are very few in it, and those who have it treat it as a treasure, and more importantly, the practice of this kind of martial arts cannot be learned by reading a secret book. There must be someone who is proficient in it.
It is almost impossible to practice martial arts without the guidance and correction of martial arts practitioners. Forced practice will only cause irreparable damage to the practitioner's body. Unless there is Geer's ability, this is the core value of the great knight's martial arts.
.
"Then let's offer a reward. I will teach the person who can retrieve the Femis Spirit Sacrifice a set of great knight martial arts and provide guidance. If relevant clues can be found, I will give him a monetary reward."
Femis Spiritual Sacrifice is the official name of the bronze spear. What Geer decided to use was the Liverani sword skill. This martial skill from the Amber members of the Priory had little value to him.
He didn't know how to practice, and he didn't feel bad about throwing it away as a mission reward. At most, he just spent more time guiding the practice. Originally, he was worried about the mysterious Ratchford Assassin Academy behind this set of martial arts, but he had a strong desire to
He had a premonition that as long as he could obtain the Femis spiritual sacrifice, his biological brain energy core could be completely repaired, so he didn't have to worry about it at this time.
When she heard that Geer could teach the great knight martial arts, Lucaline's eyes flashed: "Okay."
