Chapter 327 Talent
The Lancelot Imperial Military Academy is different from the Babylonian Academy. This academy specializes in cultivating war talents who are good at combat strategies. Magicians, swordsmen, and knights are not within the scope of this academy's training. Like all the colleges in the Chiao Continent, the Imperial Military Academy will always be dominated by the Noble Academy.
The reason for the emergence of a large number of noble students is that on the one hand, the expensive tuition fees of the Imperial Military Academy will discourage commoners; learning military knowledge.
However, nothing is absolute. The Imperial Military Academy occasionally has one or two commoner students who can still stand out even under such unfavorable conditions. Their dazzling brilliance will even steal the limelight from the noble students.
Generally, people like this will always be recruited at the Imperial Military Academy without sticking to one pattern, and they can successfully study under the best teachers. The general recommends and recruits to his family or subordinates.
Of course, there are also some civilian youths who are rebellious and do not know how to hide their dazzling light. They end up angering the noble children who are also students, and at worst, they are killed by those jealous noble children. Opportunity goes to the end of the army.
Doakes is exactly this kind of unlucky commoner genius. The young Doakes used to be extremely dazzling in the Imperial Military Academy, but unfortunately because he was too rebellious and didn't understand Zang Feng, he fell in love with an earl's daughter and married her Love, which angered the girl's earl father and the girl's fiancé family.
The end result was that Doakes was forcibly charged with an unwarranted charge. Not only was he expelled from the Imperial Military Academy, but he was also hunted down by two families and almost died. Became a shady fugitive.
This incident happened a year ago, and there was a description of it in the Dark Mantle records. Back then, Han Shuo used his authority at the Dark Mantle headquarters to read this record and left a deep impression on him. Didn't expect to be in such a place. Actually met this civilian military wizard.
Standing on the raft, Doakes, whose rebellious face was a little more gloomy due to the tragic experience, stood upright and looked into the distance, turned his head to the bandit leader and said, "Boss, those who acted The person with the torch should be someone from Bretel City. With the 50,000 gold coins, we can go as far as possible. It is best not to continue appearing around Bretel City. This city owner named Bryant is not A character who is easy to get along with, if we can't leave in time, not only will we have to spit out all the 50,000 gold coins, but our lives will also be in danger."
"Don't worry, I won't foolishly leave the person who can wipe out the red beard Tu Luoda and the others. Hehe, let Laxey and the others bear the wrath of this person. Ten thousand gold coins are enough for us to have a good time." It’s been a while.” The bandit leader was not a fool either, and said with a rough smile that he was very satisfied with the 10,000 gold coins that he had been playing around.
Han Shuo, who saw everything through the Yin Demon, carefully observed the raft where Jack Fubinen and others were, and after a while, he said to Falkeland next to him: "The raft with 50,000 gold coins in it Roll out the car and leave it to them, the people from the chamber of commerce must not lose anything."
"My lord. Did we just give in like this? We thought of many ways to deal with it in advance." Falkeland was eager to do his best, and when he heard that Han Shuo planned to give the money without any resistance, he couldn't help being puzzled.
"Dokes, a top student at the Imperial Military Academy, is there. After careful planning of this transaction, we are completely at a disadvantage. There is water again. We don't have any chance to do it without hurting the merchant. The gold coins will be given first. They redeemed the war equipment and merchants, and we will discuss the encirclement and annihilation of the bandits after ensuring that the merchants and implements are in our hands."
Before coming over, Han Shuo planned to use the earth armor corpse to attack suddenly. If the wooden armored corpse is in the forest, it can protect the safety of the businessman in a short time. Unfortunately, the cunning Doakes set the transaction location in the small river. Han Shuo, who has not yet been born with the water armored corpse, really has no other way to complete this in the water. At this time, he can only deal with it temporarily.
"Okay, I'll go now!" Fakeland had no better way, nodded upon hearing this, and rode forward on his horse, yelling: "Carry the box containing the gold coins to the riverside!" , we started trading with those bandits."
This time Han Shuo deliberately loaded a box of gold coins instead of crystal cards. His original plan was to pour a full box of gold coins into the bandits before the wooden armored corpse and the earth armored corpse. If there is suspicion, they will definitely take the lead in scrambling for the gold coins scattered on the ground, so that the earth armor corpse and wooden armor corpse can attack suddenly.
Han Shuo and his party, who are currently passive, naturally have no way to collect this effect. When the sound of gold coins clattering sounded, a few bandits over there drove the raft closer, and the bandits behind raised their bows and crossbows to face the shore. The knights and the robbers in front slowly pushed the merchant and the chariot into the small river that was slightly submerged near the bank.
Doakes was indeed cautious enough, and he never let the raft touch the shore. The merchants and chariots fell into the water before landing, and Han Shuo and the others were not given any chance to make a move.
After a box of gold coins was lifted onto the raft by two robbers who launched into the water, huge cheers came from the mouths of the robbers. The arrogant robbers laughed excitedly, and several of the bandit leaders praised the Imperial Military Academy Doakes is really good.
Doakes, who was in charge of planning at this time, had a resolute face without any joy, and was gloomy and indifferent from the beginning to the end. Amidst the cheers of the robbers, there was even a hint of hesitation in his eyes, as if this piece was a perfect one. It is a shameful and helpless act to command.
Amidst the excited noise, the bandits took advantage of the raft to drift away. When the raft was 50 meters away from Han Shuo and the others, all the torches in their hands were suddenly extinguished. laughing out loud. In the dark moonless sky, the bandits lost their voices and torches, and no one except Han Shuo could clearly see their whereabouts at a distance of 50 meters.
The robbers did not cross the creek to land. Instead, he rowed down along the direction of the river's flow, and Doakes shook his head at the robbers who were silent but frantically twisted their bodies in various strange postures to express their excitement. I sighed softly in my heart, I don’t know if it’s right to use these bandits secretly for revenge, but now I’m considered a fugitive, unless I do something treasonous like betraying the empire and defecting to other countries, otherwise who can help me avenge Hated it?
Hey. After all, I am a native of the Lancelot Empire, no matter what, I can't be such a traitor who will not be able to wash away the stains in my life. Is it better to be a bandit than a traitor to the empire that everyone hates?
"Valkland, immediately send them back to the city safely. This place is a little far away from the city. You must not make any mistakes." Han Shuo's vision was also affected in the dark night. As the raft drifted away, Han Shuo almost lost sight of the robbers. When the merchants and war equipment were brought ashore from the river, Han Shuo hurriedly gave orders to Falkeland.
"My lord, don't we want to chase those damn robbers?" Fakeland was taken aback, then asked.
"If you can safely send these things and the merchants back to the city, I can forget about the previous dereliction of duty. Remember, the outside of Bretel City is not peaceful now, and you must be careful not to make any mistakes!" Han Shuo remembered the threat that the Seven Principalities might come back at any time. There is also a larger bandit group hovering between the Seven Duchies and Brettle City, prudently exhorting Falkelando.
The main purpose of Vaklan this time is to atone for his crimes. It is precisely because of this idea that he is always thinking about it, so he loses his usual calmness in the action. Now, listening to Han Shuo's prudent exhortation, he suddenly realized that his mind was about to be obsessed Occupied everything and was immediately taken aback. Calmly said: "Don't worry, my lord, I will send them back to the city safely."
Seeing the clarity in Falkeland's eyes, Han Shuo knew that Falkeland had come out of the urgency of doing meritorious service and atonement, so he patted Falkeland on the shoulder with relief and said, "Be careful!"
As soon as the words fell, Han Shuo left like a breeze. In the dark night, Han Shuo's shadow disappeared in a flash. Faclan and the others had no idea what Han Shuo was going to do.
"The horses of you guys are used to tow the cart, and you guys come down and give the horses to the merchant. Hurry up, go back to the city as soon as it is dark, and keep your eyes open for me on the way, if something goes wrong, everyone will be in trouble... After Han Shuo left, Fakeland commanded loudly. The knights brought by Fakeland quickly arranged for the merchants to tie up the chariots and other equipment according to his order, and gradually returned to Brettle City. Half an hour after the raft was far away from the knights of Falkeland, the torches were lit again, and the suppressed cheers resounded loudly, which was extremely ear-piercing in the silent night sky, and the birds standing quietly on the surrounding rivers and trees were awakened. , Fleeing away from the dream with fluttering wings in panic.
Standing on a raft, Doakes' gloomy face flickered red and dark in the flickering light of the torch. Looking at the bandit leaders who were dividing up a box of gold coins across the raft, he asked inappropriately: "You guys?" When will you help me finish what you promised me?"
"Don't worry, Doakes, you just need to help us do a few more deals like this. When we have more gold coins and we recruit troops strong enough, you will have no problem letting us kill the Duke of the Empire for you!"
One of the bandit leaders made a perfunctory sentence casually, and said to the other leader with a lewd smile: "Tuka, let's take our brothers to the Spring Garden Square to have a good time. These gold coins are enough for us to have fun there. Hehe, Brothers have always wanted to see and see, but unfortunately those refugees in Brettle City don’t have much money, and haven’t made any money in the past few years, so they must enjoy it first when they are prosperous now!”
"Laxey, I like your proposal, haha, let's go together." The bandit leader Tuka laughed strangely, rubbed his chin, and said knowingly that each of these small bandits had seventy or eighty people less. Two hundred people were in the business of robbing refugees before Bretel City and Hailan City. They had no prospects and ambitions, otherwise they would have gone to rob Bretel City long ago. What these people wanted with the gold coins was not to replace their subordinates with better weapons and armor, but just for wanton enjoyment, and they didn't seem to care about Doakes' promise at all.
Doakes, who entered the Imperial Military Academy, was not an outstanding swordsman or knight, because he devoted all his energy to learning war strategies and combat skills. Although he was 1.9 meters tall, he could His strength is not strong. For these rude and barbaric bandits, it is difficult for such a weak think tank to pose a threat to them, but it is really useful to be able to advise them, and he is not in a hurry to avenge him.
"You promised me to avenge me when I get the gold coins!" Doakes looked at the bandit leaders who were brazenly talking about which woman has full breasts and which woman has fat buttocks, and shouted softly in a low voice.
"The important thing now is to refresh the brothers who have been busy for so long, Doakes, I will talk about this matter later, I will help you find a girl to have fun, it must be better than the noble lady you like, haha !" Even the leader following Doakes laughed and said indifferently, not taking Doakes' promise seriously at all.
"Aha, we're here. After walking ashore for a while, we'll be in Tullian Town in the Principality of Nathan, where the girls from Spring Garden Square must be waiting for us!" Laxey laughed excitedly, and said to the subordinates next to her. They ordered: "Hurry up, stop all the rafts for me, and the boss will take you to have fun."
Doakes' face was ugly, and he felt resentment towards these dishonest robbers. However, he knew that his strength was limited. Although he was extremely annoyed, he had no choice but to watch all the robbers disembark from the raft one by one. , happily went to the Spring Garden Square in Tullian Town.
"My robber friends who took my 50,000 gold coins, I have been waiting for you for a long time!" Suddenly, a young laugh sounded in the darkness, and under the light of the robbers' torches, a very tall figure gradually appeared in front of them. , blocking their way.
