"Changing the routine of practicing swordsmanship will cause physical discomfort, and the king of barbarians just needs suffering to breed strength..."
With the thought firmly in mind, William endured the pain and picked up the sword.
Keep practicing your sword skills!
All suffering is the ration of the barbarian king. The more it is at this time, the less it can relax. Only in this way can its effectiveness be maximized.
I don't know how long it took, but William felt dizzy and fell to the ground.
When he woke up, he was already on the bed, and Selanie was sitting on the edge of the bed, dangling her feet.
"How long have I been asleep?"
"Two hours."
William nodded in understanding. This practice has really reached its limit. Even with the blessing of the Barbarian King, he can only go so far now.
Close your eyes and concentrate on feeling the state of your body...comfortable, tenacious, in control...I have never had such a firm sense of existence!
“Amazing gains!!”
But what surprised him the most was another point. He had actually learned how to fight to win the championship?!
The "learning" here is not the learning of swordsmanship moves, but the understanding of will and core. This is the most fundamental value of knight's swordsmanship.
He used to practice the curtain call method, and it took him at least a month to understand its essence.
Now in just one day, he has learned the essence of fighting to win the championship?
After thinking for a moment, he turned his attention to the power points, and a big 0 on it was very conspicuous.
"Is 1 power point so useful?" Apart from power points, William could not think of any other reason. No matter how confident he was, he would not think that he could learn it because of his talent in cultivation...
"No...it should be more than that..."
"Cultivation is like a chemical reaction, with the concept that one hair can affect the whole body. The reason for this rapid progress must first be the catalysis of power points, but also the addition of the King of Barbarians, as well as my own accumulation
knowledge……"
"That makes sense. It's a pity that there are too few power points. Otherwise, we could have studied it in depth."
Checking the injury on my butt, I found that it had recovered somewhat.
William showed a satisfied smile and decided to major in fighting to win the championship in the future, which was more in line with his spiritual will.
…
The next day, William received news from Salvatore and invited him to the manor for a chat.
He reviewed what he had prepared in his mind, and set off with Selani in a light carriage.
When they arrived at the manor, Salvatore went out to greet him.
"Seventeenth Prince."
"Mr. Salvatore."
William pressed the long sword on his waist and followed into the manor.
The two of them went directly to the courtyard at the back. At this time, there were already more than twenty candidate knights standing there with their heads held high. They were all wearing light armor, some were holding big swords, and some were carrying small shields.
"Meet the Seventeenth Prince!" the candidate knights greeted in unison, obviously Salvatore had told them something.
Salvatore whispered to William: "We can only find these people. If there are more, confidentiality cannot be guaranteed.
Seventeenth Prince, I don’t know what you are going to use to recruit them, but I have to remind you that most of them are the heirs of nobles, or even knight families. You must not use your status to coerce...
In addition, I hope you will get what you want."
After speaking, Salvatore stepped aside.
William nodded with a smile and gave him a meaningful look. Salvatore was actually interesting, and he specifically reminded himself not to use his status to intimidate... Was this to intimidate him before complaining?
William looked at all the candidate knights calmly, and did not speak until he confirmed that everyone had looked at him.
"I am William Sides, Lord of Burren, viscount."
"You all must know the purpose of my coming here today. Yes, I need brave and brave subordinates. The reason is that everyone knows that the Barron Territory is very dangerous and very barren...
If you follow my lead, you may face several situations in the future: death, disability, burial in a foreign land, becoming a wine cup for foreigners, or avoiding misfortune but living a life of confusion and achieving nothing... and the last one: winning the conquest.
, Glory abounds!
Frankly speaking, risks and rewards are not directly proportional..."
Surprisingly, William did not promise any benefits, but instead stated various difficulties.
This caught Salvatore and the candidate knights off guard.
It shouldn't be like this. If you want to recruit subordinates, why don't you talk about the advantages and instead keep talking about the disadvantages?
Like this, who is willing to follow you? Just because you are the Seventeenth Prince?
Salvatore stared into William's face...
He didn't believe that the other party would be so unwise. Although he did dig a hole for William, William shouldn't give up just yet.
Or does he have other plans?
The candidate knights listened quietly to William's speech. Although no one was still willing to follow him to the Barron Territory, they had quietly put down their guard...
"No matter what the purpose of the Seventeenth Prince is, at least he is sincere."
sincere!
William saw the sincere eyes of the knights. He smiled slightly and changed the subject with a deep voice.
"Perhaps you have heard of something that happened on April 19.
Three knights from Dorne dueled with three knights from Thades. Unfortunately, we lost, all three times.
But at this time, I stood up and challenged the Dornish people again..."
Speaking of this, William's voice was already very solemn.
There is even a hint of tragedy...
The candidate knights showed empathetic expressions of unwillingness, disappointment, and humiliation. Who doesn't know about the 19th? The Dornish people have publicized it all over the place, and they wish all their newborn children would know about it.
At first they criticized Prince Seventeen for being reckless and arrogant, but now when they heard him talk about it, they actually felt like he was a warrior.
But why did the seventeenth prince talk about this matter?
Just listen to William continue to speak...
He did not continue to talk about his duel results, but directly entered the summary stage.
He looked solemnly at everyone present.
"I have a message for you, and also for all those who adhere to the way of knighthood. Only the true brave can listen to this message..."
A low, solemn and tragic voice sounded:
“Achieving the impossible is the true sign of extraordinary perseverance!”
Silence, deathly silence, everyone lowered their breathing.
His voice was so firm and his expression was so solemn... Everyone seemed to see his heart through his body. It was an iron will, a courage that never surrendered, and a truly extraordinary perseverance!
He is the Seventeenth Prince, and his name is William Sides!
Now,
He needs followers!
Click, the sound of steel colliding.
A candidate knight pushed through the crowd and stood up. He took off his helmet and raised his sword.
"I, Brayman Vandini, swear allegiance to my lord William Sides, that from now on my sword will be with you, and your destiny will be with mine, to love what I love and hate what I hate, by this oath
