Chapter 713 Wang Ling
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
After several veterans met Blake in the small village, they seemed to have found a backbone and stayed in the small village with other soldiers. After half a month of training, the conditions of most of the wounded soldiers had improved.
As the leader of the Seventh Army, Blake almost all his soldiers were wiped out.
But he still has channels for external communication and is always focused on the situation on the battlefield. After hearing that the Seventh Army was completely wiped out, the top management of the Tucker Kingdom was shocked and sent three legions to the front line.
An army of nearly 100,000 people temporarily resisted the orcs.
This day, early morning.
The sky in the distance turned slightly white, and the light of dawn spread over the earth. There was a sound of horse hooves outside the peaceful small village. The veteran Glenn who was guarding the entrance to the village immediately became extremely vigilant.
"Who is it? Stop!"
On the ancient tree at the entrance of the small village, Aylin bent his bow and arrow, aimed at the cavalry coming from a distance, and shouted coldly.
But the other party ignored it and rode towards the small village.
call out!
Aylin was not polite when he saw this, and shot an arrow directly, but a gleam of light surged from the cavalry's body, and he immediately spread the arrow. Grant was shocked when he saw this, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
The other party is a true knight!
Grant did not hesitate and shouted loudly to give an early warning to the soldiers stationed in the village. In a moment, more than a dozen soldiers appeared and surrounded the knights who rushed into the village.
As the commander of the Seventh Army, although Black is lonely, the nearly one hundred soldiers under his command are all the elites of the Seventh Army, including three knight-level combatants, so the sudden appearance of the knights is not a threat.
"Where is Seventh Legion Commander Blake?"
He was surrounded by a group of soldiers, but the strange knight still had a proud look on his face. He looked around and said coldly.
Not far away, Enzo walked out of the house.
When the knight approached, he had already sensed it, but he did not step forward, but stood quietly behind the crowd.
After half a month of cultivation, this body has fully recovered.
Moreover, with the training of the giant whale breathing method, Enzo was easily promoted to the realm of knights, and at the same time, the training of his mental power also gradually began.
Now he already has a certain fighting ability.
Although various statistics have not yet reached the level of a first-level life form, Enzo's dual cultivation of magic and martial arts can easily kill a first-level life form even if he does not use his original power.
At the same time, Blake also came from a distance.
"Peter Campbell?"
Black frowned slightly when he saw the knight on the horse. He had seen him before in the royal capital.
Peter, a direct descendant of the Campbell family.
There are four duke families in the Kingdom of Tucker. Among them, the area ruled by the Campbell family is the Southern Territory, so it is also called the Duke of the Southern Territory. Although Peter is a direct bloodline of the Campbell family, he is not qualified to inherit the territory, so he was eliminated by the family in his early years. Sent to the capital of the Kingdom of Tucker and joined the Kingsguard directly under the king.
The Kingsguard are loyal only to the King.
Therefore, since Peter appears here, it means that the other party will most likely bring the king's order, either to recall him to the royal capital for trial, or to issue other orders for him to go to the front line to fight.
"I bring His Majesty Andel's decree!"
Peter was riding on horseback, looking down at Black, and said, "Why don't you kneel down to receive the order? Black."
Blake didn't hesitate and knelt down on one knee.
There was a trace of pride on Peter's face, and he said unhurriedly: "According to the order of His Majesty Andel, the guardian of Tucker Kingdom, Commander Blake of the Seventh Army, due to your command error, the Seventh Army was completely annihilated. Now you are the only one." Return to the royal capital within seven days and accept the judgment of the kingdom and people!"
After hearing Peter's words, the expressions of the surrounding soldiers changed.
"How can the failure of the Seventh Army be entirely blamed on Lord Black?" Grant showed annoyance and couldn't help but said, "It was obviously due to insufficient intelligence, and the logistics supplies were not delivered in time..."
Peter's face turned cold, his eyes were like poisonous snakes and he said, "Are you questioning His Majesty the King's order?"
Glenn's face froze and he did not dare to say anything.
"Blake obeys His Majesty's will." At this time, Blake, who was half-kneeling on the ground, said calmly.
"I have conveyed His Majesty's will."
Peter turned the horse's head and said with a raised lip: "Remember, you only have seven days. If you do not arrive at the royal capital within that time, you will be treated as treason!"
After saying that, Peter turned and left.
In the corner, Enzo looked thoughtful and shook his head slightly. The failure of the Seventh Army was not Blake's responsibility, but now, the king wanted to recall Blake, obviously intending to punish him.
On the spot, Blake slowly stood up and took a deep breath.
He had long thought that such a day would come, but he didn't know that it would come so quickly. The defeat of the Seventh Army in the battle was his unshirkable responsibility. Now that the kingdom has sent 100,000 troops to resist the orcs, he has nothing to worry about.
"Lord Black."
Next to him, his trusted knight Sam took a step forward and said hesitantly, "Do we really have to return to the capital within seven days?"
Blake nodded calmly.
Sam hesitated to speak, but in the end it turned into a sigh. When he returned to the royal capital this time, he didn't know what was waiting for everyone, but as the commander of the Seventh Army, if King Andel insisted on punishing Black, the death penalty was not impossible.
"Damn it!" Grant gritted his teeth.
"Okay, don't worry about me."
Black's face turned slightly pale and he said calmly, "I believe that King Andel will definitely give me a fair trial."
"Take some time to clean up. We'll return to the capital tomorrow."
After saying that, Blake turned and left. Without saying a word, the soldiers under his command began to put away their salutes and prepare to return to the capital of Tucker Kingdom.
Enzo shook his head and turned back to the house.
…
Three hours later, the team left the small village and embarked on a journey to the capital of the Tucker Kingdom.
On the desolate plain, a team is moving forward.
Black was riding in the front, looking a little lonely. He didn't know what was waiting for him when he went to the royal capital this time. Even a man with a mind as hard as steel felt a little chilled when faced with the cruelty of the kingdom.
From behind the team, Enzo followed slowly.
"Tucker Kingdom, four major duke families..."
As Enzo walked forward, his eyes flickered slightly. After half a month of adaptation, he had learned more about the scarlet world.
This is a world similar to the Middle Ages.
In addition to the human kingdom, there are also orc tribes in the north. The Tucker Kingdom and the orcs often have frictions. Therefore, the entire kingdom is based on knights, and almost all young people have become knights and are proud of it.
On this land, the Tucker Kingdom has been established for thousands of years.
"Collect intelligence and improve your strength."
A trace of thought appeared on Enzo's face, planning his future. He had just arrived in this scarlet world, and he wanted to gradually gain a foothold. In addition to collecting as much intelligence as possible, it was also important to improve his strength.
As for the breathing method, the giant whale breathing method has been chosen.
As for the improvement of mental power, you need to rely on the Phantom Crow Thousand Spirits. Different from his original start in the Wizarding World, Enzo came to the Scarlet World. Although his current strength is very weak, he has an excellent foundation.
Whether it is the Phantom Crow Thousand Spirit Meditation Technique or the Giant Whale Breathing Technique, they are all high-level techniques in the multiverse.
Compared with the Phantom Crow Thousand Spirits Meditation Method, the Giant Whale Breathing Method has an even more obvious improvement for Enzo in the early stage.
The team moved forward, and the time soon came to evening.
Blake ordered the soldiers to camp on the spot, and Grant and other veterans began hunting. According to the description on the map, they knew there was a forest ahead.
"I'll go too." Enzo said proactively.
"Okay, come on!"
Grant and the others didn't pay attention. They greeted Enzo and everyone headed towards the forest.
"That's right, Enzo."
As everyone moved forward, Grant asked, "During this period, Lord Black has been guiding you in the practice of military warfare every day. Your strength should have improved, right? When can you become a knight?"
"Ha! Grant, stop teasing Enzo."
Next to him, Aylin chuckled, shook his head and said, "It's so easy. Enzo has just recovered from his injury. It's not easy to save his life this time. It's still early to become a knight, right?"
"But, no matter what, you kid is a blessing in disguise this time."
"Even among the 30,000 soldiers of the entire Seventh Army, there are only a few who can be personally taught by Lord Black. You must cherish this opportunity and try your best to master the knowledge imparted by Lord Black."
Enzo said nothing, with a calm smile on his face.
While everyone was talking, they had already arrived in the forest. Gren and other veterans were hunters before joining the army. In this season of abundant prey, it is not a problem to catch some food.
"Be careful, it's coming!"
Suddenly, Grant whispered. He lay on the ground and felt a slight vibration, so he pulled out the long knife from his waist.
Next to him, Ai Lin also felt something.
As an excellent archer, he decisively climbed up the tree trunk, looked down into the distance, and immediately saw a target.
"What a big guy!" Aylin exclaimed.
At this time, a bigger shock came at any time. Enzo narrowed his eyes slightly and felt the strength of the big guy in the forest.
"Everyone, be careful!"
At this time, Grant also became extremely vigilant and dispersed with everyone in formation, preparing to meet the prey that was about to appear.
Roar!
The next moment, a beast roar came, and the tree trunk in front was broken. A black bear more than three meters high rushed out and roared at everyone, making the forest tremble slightly.
Grant gasped.
Even veteran hunters did not dare to provoke blind bears of this level. The veterans originally just wanted to hunt rabbits and other prey, but after seeing the black bear appear, everyone became nervous.
"Disperse!" Grant shouted.
Everyone dispersed one after another, not daring to attack the black bear easily. Ai Lin on the treetop also fell into hesitation.
"This guy is beyond our ability to deal with."
Grant murmured to himself, looking at the black bear warily, as if thinking about how to drive it away.
"Use fire!" Aylin shouted from the treetops.
Then, the archer bent his bow and nocked an arrow, ignited the front end of the arrow, and shot a flaming arrow.
call out!
The flaming arrows shot away, but did not hit the black bear, but fell to the ground. In Aylin's opinion, even ferocious beasts should be afraid of flames.
However, he made a mistake.
The incoming flaming arrows did not scare away the black bear, but instead made him fall into a state of anger. After roaring angrily, he slammed down the nearby trees.
The next moment, the black bear headed straight for Grant.
"Damn it!"
A trace of panic appeared on Grant's face. Considering the huge size difference between himself and the black bear, if he was hit by the other's bear paw, he would probably be disabled even if he died.
"careful!"
Above the treetops, after seeing this, Aylin quickly shot a few arrows in an attempt to drive the black bear back.
Whoosh!
Arrows were shot out one after another, but after landing on the black bear, they all slipped down and were unable to penetrate the opponent's thick fur.
Without hesitation, Grant turned around and started running.
The forest environment is complex and the black bear is huge, but it does not have an advantage in fighting in such a place.
"Boy, what are you doing standing still?"
Grant turned around and ran, and the surrounding veterans scattered, but Enzo was the only one who stayed where he was. He immediately shouted, "Run!"
Enzo ignored it and slowly drew out the cross sword.
Grant's eyes widened, and he felt a little unbelievable in his heart. He didn't expect that Enzo would dare to draw his sword against the black bear. This kid wouldn't be so frightened.
However, the next moment.
The white sword light bloomed like a lotus flower, and Enzo swung the cross sword at the moment when the black bear rushed towards him.
Wow!
The sword blade attached with fighting spirit directly tore the black bear's body, and the smelly blood spread on the ground.
Then, the black bear fell to the ground.
Without even letting out a wailing cry, this behemoth was torn into two halves under Enzo's sword. The sudden change shocked everyone around him.
On the treetops, Aylin couldn't help but rub his eyes.
Witnessing the scene before him made him extremely surprised, but he had to believe it.
"OMG!"
Grant's eyes widened, he took a breath of air and said, ": Is this... fighting spirit!? Enzo, you have become a knight."
Enzo smiled slightly and nodded calmly.
The veterans stepped forward tentatively and looked at the body of the mountain bear on the ground. They couldn't help but look shocked. No one could believe what they were seeing.
"Fifteen-year-old knight!?"
On the treetop, Aylin had climbed down and looked at the calm Enzo, with an extremely complicated look on his face.
"It's time to go back." Enzo said quietly.
At this time, several veterans woke up as if from a dream. Dragging the black bear's body, they returned towards the camp. After learning that Enzo had been promoted to a knight, both Grant and Aylin became extremely excited.
And when they dragged the black bear's body back to the camp, the other soldiers were also startled, and even a look of surprise flashed across Blake's face.
