"Stand up your chest and cheer up!" Marcus's roar kept ringing in the woods on the edge of Thorn Ridge, and the riding crop in his hand made a crackling sound from time to time.
Thirty teenagers, holding wooden sticks, nervously patrolled every corner of the forest.
They could hear the cries of various birds and beasts deep in the woods, and perhaps the cries contained the roars of monsters. For teenagers who grew up hearing scary rumors about monsters, if they stayed here for more than a quarter of an hour, they would feel a chill on the back of their necks, as if monsters would open their mouths and choke them at any time.
Tony is such a fearful young man.
Holding the wooden stick in his hand tightly, he leaned against a big tree, his calves trembling slightly. Last winter, a Wind Blade Wolf attacked Wheat Hamlet and ate two serfs, scaring him so much that he had nightmares for several days in a row. Now, he thought of that nightmare again, and he couldn't help but pray in his heart.
"Don't eat me..."
He kept looking outside at the adults who were cutting down trees, as if this would give him a sense of security.
suddenly.
There was a snapping sound above his head, and at some point, Marcus came to him on horseback and whipped his whip on the tree trunk, knocking off the bark.
"Tony, I asked you to stare in the direction of the woods, not the lumberjacks!"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Marcus."
"Show your manliness and don't let me down, let alone the lord." Marcus said coldly.
Tony quickly replied loudly, "Yes, I will never let Mr. Marcus down, let alone the lord!"
Marcus then rode away.
Tony breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw this. He was very afraid of this cold-faced and ruthless Earth Knight. In the previous few days of selection, he had been whipped frequently.
It was a real beating. As soon as the whip went down, a line of blood immediately appeared on the body.
If it weren't for becoming a Retainer Knight and getting the chance to change his destiny, he wouldn't want to face Marcus at all, let alone come here to face Warcraft.
What he didn't know was that Marcus left shaking his head.
This Earth Knight has already rejected him. If a knight cannot face his inner fears and overcome the pressure imposed on him by the environment, then he has no potential. In his eyes, the only way for a commoner to become a noble is through the baptism of blood and fire. If he is not prepared, he should go home early and farm with peace of mind.
Lest you go to the battlefield in the future and die under the hooves of horses.
Continuously walking through the woods, Marcus not only monitored every move in the woods, but also inspected the teenagers. The morning was uneventful, and he basically drafted the candidates for the twelve team members.
So at noon.
He reported the result of his choice to Liszt: "Sir, Philip·wool, Xavier·cow dung, Jacob·foot sole, York·bald man, Wayne·haystack, Zachary·pinky, York·shoemaker, Evan·handkerchief, Sean·red-faced man, Tracy·hunchback, Myron·crotch, Theodore·bad socks, these twelve boys will become your Retainer Knight."
"Xavier·cow dung, sounds a bit like the younger brother of the valet Jim·cow dung; York·bald man, York·shoemaker, the same Let's call them big York and little York... Then, tell their families that from now on, these twelve teenagers will be separated from production and will be supported by the castle."
"Yes."
The knight team has already selected the results. At noon, Liszt took the time to summon Smoke Mission.
Sure enough, the task was completed and updated.
"Complete the mission and reward Wind Peregrine Falcon to be broken out of the shell."
"Mission: In addition to drifting bottles, there may also be unexpected surprises floating on the seashore. Now, there is a sailboat carrying surprises, drifting towards East Coast. Please find and rescue the drifting ship in distress. Reward: Part of the population."
"Huh?"
Liszt Wind Peregrine Falcon didn't pay attention to the reward at the first time.
Because he saw "population", what Flower Town currently lacks most is population. There are only less than 2,000 people in a small town, which is not as large as the larger villages in his hometown. Without population, as a lord, he can't carry out any plan he wants to implement. What he desires most is population.
"The reward population is related to the shipwrecked ship. So, there will be a ship carrying the population drifting to East Coast?" Thinking of this, Liszt couldn't wait to call Gortai.
"Liszt, what do you want me to do?"
"I suddenly thought that Oyster Hamlet fishermen are facing the sea, and there are a lot of sea monsters in the sea. This is very dangerous and we must pay attention to it."
"The sea monster... won't come to the shore, right?" Gortai was a little disapproving.
Sea monsters are indeed dangerous and often attack ships. However, sea monsters rarely come to the shore. Once the tide goes out and they are stranded, they will die violently.
Liszt The drunkard was not drunk, and he emphasized his tone. "Don't be careless in the slightest danger. You immediately notify the patrol team. We must focus on patrolling East Coast these days. If there is any change, you must report to me. Hold on for a while. If there are really no sea monsters coming ashore, we will adjust the focus of the patrol."
"Okay, I'll go notify you right away."
Gortai left, and Liszt was in the mood to pay attention to the reward from the previous mission - Wind Peregrine Falcon's egg.
Wind Peregrine Falcon He has heard that it is a falcon-like monster, a low-level monster that often appears on the beach and feeds on fish in the sea. Because it is a small animal, it rarely infringes on humans. Relatively speaking, the danger is relatively low, but that does not mean that its strength is low. On the contrary, its combat power is very strong.
It will release magic--Wind Blade.
This is the same magic as Wind Blade Wolf, but as a falcon, it has the natural advantage of flying. Wind Blade can shoot from almost any direction.
In other words, it can use kiting tactics to drag down the opponent to death without any damage.
"So, where is my Wind Peregrine Falcon?" Liszt turned his attention to the big tree that was being cut down, and he was wary, "Is it hiding in a certain big tree that is about to be cut down?"
If there really is a Wind Peregrine Falcon, the threat is absolutely huge.
He quickly called Marcus: "We can't just pay attention to the ground animals in the woods. We also need to pay attention to the sky. There may be flying monsters here."
Marcus took off the bow and arrow from his back and held it in his hand with a firm look in his eyes. "Sir, flying monsters are more fragile than ground monsters. My arrows are always ready for them!"
Confidence infected Liszt.
"I originally planned to learn archery from you, but I never got the time."
"If you want to learn, you can learn at any time."
"Well, after this busy period, I will learn archery." Liszt made a decision. Archery must be learned. Long-range attacks are in line with his personality and he can kill enemies thousands of miles away.
Melee combat is too rough and the probability of injury is high.
As a lord, he came to this world and should enjoy life, not suffer.
In the afternoon, Liszt always kept looking at the trees, hoping to see which tree his reward was on. However, when the sun was setting, Gortai rushed over and told him an unexpected news, "There is a Fragrant Coconut Tree tree over there Oyster Hamlet, and a battle between monkeys and birds is breaking out."
