Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 153

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 153]

“They will even accept ‘reputation’ as a reward. I told them that by doing things for us, they can gain the favor of the Alberta family. Such words can encourage them to go through fire and water.” Evrey laughed.

As they walked, they came to the pigeon coop of the castle, when a homing pigeon arrived.

“My lord.” The pigeon breeder untied the letter from the pigeon’s feet and handed it to Charles.

“Well…” Charles opened the parchment, the font was beautiful, it was written by Rocher, and he said a thousand words in a few numbers, “…”

“How?” Loic asked.

“Garnier can make up his mind,” Charles sighed with relief, “Duke Rivi is willing to help us, is this a miracle? Rocher said that Duke Gregory raised the Wave Dragon Flag of the Rivi family, Countless soldiers were sent to the frontier to deny the king’s army a way to attack us.”

Chapter 193

Returning to the sanctuary, Ciel meets Ines.

“They said.” Ines mentioned, “I am the ruler of the temple.”

“Of course you are.” Ciel disagreed. “Without you, this place wouldn’t be able to function.”

“Aren’t you afraid that I will do bad things? Seek money and usurp power?”

In fact, power comes from power. As long as I have power, it will be a quick thing to occupy power.

Charles thought.

“You’re already the de facto head here, what additional power can you ‘usurp’?” he said.

“Why don’t you look like you don’t care, hey, you actually care, right?” Ines looked at Ciel.

“I’ve got what I want. It’s good enough that the church can support my cause and provide me with assistance.” Charles showed off the white deer fur sewn on his cloak, “This is just the beginning. , Ines, one day we will lead the entire Loman demon hunter business, generation after generation of demon hunters will rise before our eyes, and there may be rising stars among them. This is the most valuable thing. What I created is There is a consensus that demons can be killed, they are not terrible. As long as people are not afraid, the impact of hell will be greatly reduced.”

“Create consensus?”

“Yes, I think the devil is a kind of thought. It infects people who understand it. You have had nightmares, right?”

“Of course, strong hallucinations, auditory hallucinations… I didn’t tell you.” Ines shook her head.

“Everyone has this feeling that our souls are corrupted by the knowledge of the devil, but this process of corrosion is easily interrupted. A person who has no knowledge of the devil, sees the devil come. At that time, the first thought was to attach it to some kind of original fear, and then the mind collapsed, quickly eroded by the devil, and turned into a half-demon.” Ciel remembered those who went mad when he saw the devil’s real body, and heard the demon’s cry. Distorted mortals.

“But, you said to interrupt…”

“That is to say, pre-establish a positive understanding of demons, believe that demons can be defeated, believe that demons are weak and powerless, and believe that they are hunters who hunt and kill demons for a living. Courage, not cowardice, springs up in our hearts when we are demons. We think they are nothing more than that.”

“But I heard that many people have gone crazy because of investigating demons and studying demons.” Ines was curious, “They also know a lot about what a demon is, and they even have some research on the legendary hell. I haven’t been there, but I can guess what’s going on there.”

“Mere scholars and ordinary people can’t do it,” Charles put forward his own conjecture. “Ordinary people, they know more about demons, and the more they understand, the more afraid they become, because they know that demons are powerful, boundless and unpredictable. So the deeper you understand, the more shaken your heart is, knowing that the devil is ‘invincible’, so your mind will collapse at the touch of a touch, and eventually you will be driven mad by the truth they know.”

“I see, and Demon Hunters are different. We understand demons on the basis that we have the hope of defeating them.” Ines thought thoughtfully, “After mastering the spell, those illusions and panics also dissipated. , replaced by courage.”

“Panic, mad, mental breakdown, and finally transformed into another demon. This is how hell fights against the general public. Once a real demon comes, the mental shock it brings will definitely drown the minds of most mortals.”

“That’s inevitable.” Ines frowned.

“That’s why we need to prevent this from happening and take precautions before it happens.” Ciel pondered, “It’s just that time is short, the West Coast has declared war on us, and the army is heading towards Ash Tree Hall. The threat we have to face is quite high. serious.”

“Don’t tell me you’re going to run away again.”

“His Majesty the King is coming with real swords and spears, and I will also go into battle.” Ciel felt that he was full of energy, and he just wanted to wipe out all the evil forces. Anyway, I can’t be happy when the demons are alive. Only by smashing them all can I enjoy peace.

“That’s the army, what kind of fame can you play on the battlefield.” Ines shook her head, “I think it’s hanging.”

“That’s right, I’m very talented, but it’s possible that the gutter capsizes…” Xia Er held his hands, “I can’t help but go.”

“I will quickly make plans for the church in the post-Charles era.”

“what is that.”

“That is, if you are completely dead, I have to carry this banner over and continue.” Ines said solemnly.

“Great, although I don’t have to die, but you have to prepare.”

“Are you so indifferent to life and death?”

“I was supposed to be a dead person, but I owe a lot to this day. Looking back, many things have not been done well.” Ciel admitted honestly.

“You’re really not afraid to say… You run back and forth and do a lot of things, how come you have nothing to do with yourself.”

“Demon hunters always have high demands on themselves.” Ciel said lightly, “Let me continue to fight for my goals, hunt down demons, and go down one step at a time.”

They exchanged hickeys on their cheeks.

After I leave, many people will look forward to it. When I return safely, you can just wait. I will bring back the news of the victory. The king’s army is nothing to worry about.

Ciel left the conference room and walked down the side tower, where he saw Madden.

“Charle!” Madden yelled, “Come here.” Still as enthusiastic as ever.

“I’m here.” Charles greeted him.

“As soon as I got back from the country, I heard that there was a whole lot of shit going on in the city, the count died, the war broke out, Garnier committed a crime, or something.”

“How do you say it? The situation changes, and the change of power may be completed overnight.” Charles slowly walked down with Madden, “The assassin assassinated Count Rene, people mistakenly thought it was Garnier’s crime, but in fact, he and Garnier It doesn’t matter.” Forgive me, I lied for the first time today.

“Have you caught the assassin?”

“He ran away, and I nearly caught up with him in Laque Village.”

“Then what shall we do? It seems that the king is calling.”

“I’m going to beat him. Are you back from the action, you’re going to deal with the goblins or something.”

“Oh, that’s a real adventure.” Madden gestured to Ciel, “We entered a deep cave, where the wind was howling and the stench was foul. It was a scary monster’s lair, but I was brave and brave. forward.”

“You? Who else are you with?”

“It’s with the local novice adventurers. They look a little dull and need to be guided by a majestic man like me!”

“It must have been easy to win.”

“Of course, I used the Sharp Spell to kill the goblins and discard their armor, found boxes of treasures, and rescued the kidnapped village girl. The locals are very grateful to me.” Madden was obviously in a happy mood.

“What about the girls? Have you ever thought about sleeping with them?”

“What do you call that, they have big breasts, smooth and textured ass, tall, beautiful faces.”

“So you did everything you had to do.”

“What, of course not. Demon hunters must of course focus on hunting and fighting. How can they leak their vitality to women. I will let them work hard to become professional adventurers as soon as possible, and become warriors who can be on their own just like me.” Madden shook his head.

“Ah…that’s good.” Charles prevaricates.

It’s the first time I’ve found out that a man will give up the chance to have sex with a woman. Don’t all men feel happy?

“My God… you finally found out, you are the only one who is particularly lecherous…” Gladiu muttered.

“Because I have to.” Madden changed his words.

“how?”

“Since the failure of the first recruit trial, I have realized that I am not the same as everyone else, I am different from everyone else… There is a fundamental difference.”

“Indeed.” I didn’t see it.

“For example, Ciel, what’s the difference between me and you?”

“I… I shaved my beard, but you didn’t?”

“Not this.” Madden stroked the beard on his lips. “I’m not very talented.”

“Others are not very talented either.”

If you exclude me, we are just a collection of ordinary people, and no one is particularly gifted.

“It’s not the same. Others have a head start. I can only rely on hard work.” Madden frowned. “Others can clearly see their growth trajectory, fast and fast. That Benoit, he was a year later than me. But I can spread the Sharp Spell to four meters in length and width, and shoot hundreds of paces away, I can’t do it, I am not as good as others.”

Damn, I can’t do it either.

“Bennot…has mastered the Sharp Spell to this extent?”

“He’s just that strong, and I…I have to continue to seek challenges and sharpen myself.” Madden clenched his fists.

“Good luck,” Charles greeted him. “You’ll soon be the backbone of the hunter, with brass buckles on your cloak.”

Madden did not leave, he asked Charles again:

“I want to ask you, Ciel, ordinary people, is there any hope of catching up with geniuses? Is there any chance for me to keep up with you?”

“Yes,” Charles said.

Second lie today.

Madden nodded, and his eyes became deeper and calmer: “The next time I’m promoted, I will learn the shadow spell from you.”

“Fair enough.” Charles nodded.

Looking at Madden’s back, Ciel fell into contemplation.

Does that kind of hope really exist?

Chapter 194 Confrontation Position

On the road to Rain Bay Hall, the army of Ash Tree Hall marched hard.

Charles rode in an open carriage, only he and Elijah, he did not ride Angry, for fear that it would frighten the horses of the army and make it gallop in the distance on its own.

“Master, you’ve been hanging me in the sanctuary these past few days.” Elijah said boldly.

“Of course.” How can I take you to Bizan Garden, that’s not to disturb the two-person world between me and Alicia.

Elijah saw Ciel acting as it should be, leaning on the sideboard of the car, and looking at the roads on both sides boredom: “Are we going to the battlefield? Are we going to fight? What should I do?” It has also started to increase, which is a good sign. If he doesn’t say a word for a long time like before, Ciel really doesn’t know how to communicate.

“Afraid?”

“I’m not afraid, just worried, I heard that the king’s army is twice our size.”

Ciel observed the troops on both sides. The conscripts in the Ash Tree Hall can only be described as having a disheveled face. Most of them were farmers and were sent to the battlefield according to feudal obligations.

The nobles distributed basic leather armor for some of them, covering the torso and arms, and provided spears and small round shields as much as possible, and other equipment was purchased by themselves, and everyone tried to get some helmets, short Equipment such as swords and armguards to increase the survival rate.

These levies are the basis of war, providing the most basic momentum, and their combat effectiveness fluctuates greatly with the change of the fighting wind.

Ciel felt that they would appear sturdy and not afraid of death in the first round of charging, and they would also have wind on their legs when chasing deserters, but once the offensive was frustrated, these people would drop their weapons and run away without hesitation.

If someone is good at using bows and arrows, they will be incorporated into the array of conscripted archers, and they will focus on training for half a month to a month every year to ensure that they can provide effective arrow support in wars.

However, in general, the Loman army did not pay special attention to the role of archers.

Charr’s idea, like most people, is that as long as there are enough archers, they’ll work without any particular attention to accuracy.

In addition to the levies, there is also a group of armored infantry, who are funded by the lords and are professional soldiers who support their families through long-term service.

These sergeants have a higher status than levies, wear nose helmets and chain mail, hold a long sword in one hand, and hold a large kite shield in the other, which are painted with the coat of arms of various nobles, crawling dragons, interlaced crosses, yellow feathers Birds, there are many kinds of horizontal and vertical lines.

Undoubtedly, these men were the key to maintaining the line, and once they were routed, the whole army was over.

If the armored sergeant is the shield and core of the army, then the most powerful fighting force of the entire army is the knight. Leather and feathers make all kinds of things set on top, like swans, dragons, lobsters and garlands, which look extremely gorgeous.

Armor is very expensive. A knight earns about 40~80 gold coins per year, except for food and clothing expenses, and the rest is limited, and the whole set of armor needs 50 gold coins. Buying armor is a major expense at any time. Many people are willing to pay for it. Armor is passed down from generation to generation, wearing the armor of your ancestors to the battlefield, saving an expense.

Ciel clearly understood the destructive power of the knights. When they were running, the sound of horses’ hooves trampling on the ground shook the sky. Just seeing such a group of armored warriors approaching him was enough to make ordinary people tremble. The risk of being pierced by a lance remains in place.

What’s more, the situation on the battlefield is chaotic, and people’s courage has been tested.

The knights lined up in a row, holding their spears under their armpits, united, and using the superb martial arts brought about by years of military education, they rode their horses and charged galloping on the battlefield. The impact was absolutely astonishing.

Charles heard that in ancient times, the saddle had not yet been discovered by the “leader” Dade I, and the rider had to fight with guns in both hands, so as not to fall off the horse in the event of a collision.

The fighting power that each knight can provide is not only themselves, and the Ciel sees their capable entourage, numbering hundreds of them, equally well-equipped and armed with spears.
