Chapter 719 Taylor’s Training Methods
As Lilea said, Princess Analita did know more about the Rose Legion than everyone present - she had been a member of the Rose Legion before she was injured on the head, and she was appointed by the emperor. The next commander of the army.
If her head had not been traumatized, she would now be the top leader of one of the five major guilds in the Zephyr Continent. Unfortunately, time was not with her.
I asked Analita: "Whose orders do the members of the Legion of Roses take?"
"Of course you follow the orders of the President of the Rose Legion." She looked at me and said, "What else?"
"Is Emily the current president of the Rose Legion?" I asked.
"Well, it should be her."
"But Emily told me that there was someone else who was actually mobilizing the troops on the battlefield."
"Eh? Then I don't know." Analita said: "When my grandma was in power, the Rose Army was not like this."
She rolled her eyes and said, "Could it be that my sister is controlling everything in the Rose Army behind the scenes?"
"No." I shook my head: "I have tentatively asked the Queen before. Unless there is an invasion from a foreign enemy, the Rose Army will not listen to her dispatches and orders."
"That's strange." Analita thought distressedly: "Since it's not the president Emily, nor my queen sister, then who can it be?"
"Is this serious?"
A delicate voice sounded in my ears, and then someone hugged my arm. When I turned my head, it was Barbara.
"Then it depends on what it is compared to." I said with a smile.
"How about compared to dinner?"
"Of course dinner is important~"
After dinner, I didn’t mention the Legion of Roses again. Princess Analita had already given her answer: I don’t know.
It can be seen that this gathering of the Legion of Roses is of great significance.
Early the next morning, we met again in the dungeon with the Rose Legion girls who had disappeared yesterday.
Cagalli and the others greeted the girls warmly, and they responded as usual, with no pretense in their eyes or expressions. It seemed that yesterday's gathering had nothing to do with those guys who regard us as enemies.
After fighting monsters for most of the day, in the afternoon, everyone packed up their things and rushed to the Elf Palace. Unexpectedly, this time, they were stopped by the Elf guards again.
This time the elf guard is not the one from yesterday. He is not hostile to us, but he is not friendly at all.
He said calmly: "Today's discussion has been cancelled."
"Who canceled it?" I asked him.
"Her Majesty the Queen."
Everything is already clear. If it weren't for Her Majesty the Queen's will, Emily would not be absent from yesterday's discussion. I should have thought of it earlier.
But why did the Elf Queen cancel the sparring match?
Could it be that there was some dangerous action that required her to do it herself?
Or is she planning some plan that requires strong force?
I frowned, unable to think of a reason.
So, I took everyone back to the tree house directly.
As soon as we entered the door, Princess Analita came over, looked at me, and then looked at the others: "You didn't go to spar?"
"Cancelled" I said calmly.
"Who is so bold?"
"Of course it's your sister, the Queen~"
"Why?" She didn't understand: "The competition between you and Emily will be very helpful for both of you to improve your strength and skills! Of course, it will help you even more."
"Who knows" I shrugged: "Maybe she is afraid that I will become stronger."
"No, my sister is not such a narrow-minded person!"
"I'm just saying."
"You can't even talk about it!"
"Xiaoyi, after you finish killing monsters tomorrow, will you go directly to the Elf Palace?" Phoenix took my arm and asked with a tilted head.
"I'm not going," I said, "I'll just go home after slaying the monsters. I'll wash up, tidy up, rest, and make dinner. There's a lot to do."
"What about the sparring?" Cagalli asked.
"Sparring will help you improve even more," Analita said, "Can you bear to give up such an opportunity?"
"It doesn't matter." I spread my hands and said, "I still have my old friend. I'll beg him to spar with me later."
"But Grandpa Taylor is a pastor," Lillea said.
"That's because you don't understand him." I stared at Taylor who was drinking and said with a smile: "In the face of absolute strength, even a priest can beat a soldier into a scum."
"Old man, go ahead and torture Xiao Yi!" Billy shouted with a wicked smile.
Taylor burped: "You bastard, I know you won't let me go. Tell me, when will we start?"
"Now."
I have only heard of Taylor's strength but have never been exposed to it. I am like a frog in a well. Although I have heard the song of birds, I don't know how big the birds are.
After this confrontation, I finally understood his terror. It was like a frog at the bottom of a well meeting a 100-meter giant eagle. From head to toe, he was tortured on the outside and tender on the inside.
I tried my best, but he was holding the bottle unsteadily and fighting with me while drinking.
In the words of Odachi, this man is the strongest guy I have ever encountered since we fought.
I asked it in my mind: "How much better is Tyler than Achilles?"
Odachi thought for a while: "It's not much stronger, it should be considered evenly matched."
A priest is evenly matched with a warrior.
I seem to understand a little bit how powerful Taylor really is.
After a full hour of crazy torture, no, I actively asked for torture. I collapsed on the ground, gasping for air.
Taylor didn't even break a sweat. He held the bottle of wine calmly and said to me while drinking: "You bastard, your strength is improving too slowly. You need to practice!"
"How to practice?" I asked weakly.
"Run in the morning, go around the Elf Forest, kill monsters at noon, and fight with Amon without using any combat skills. Come back and compete with me in the afternoon."
"I am actively being abused," I added, and then sighed: "If I don't use combat skills to fight Amon, I will be exhausted."
"Haha, you bastard," Taylor chuckled, "You won't be exhausted to death, I know it very well."
I suddenly felt that asking Taylor to discuss with me was not a very wise move, but it was the most correct thing to do.
That night I was placed in a room next to Tyler.
The next day, before dawn, I was forcefully dragged out by Taylor to run laps.
The Elf Forest in Moonlight City is very large, or it can be said that Moonlight City is actually a country wrapped in the Elf Forest.
Although the overall area of Moonlight City is not as large as Dashai City and York City, if compared to the size of the earth, it is still the size of more than half of Asia.
Obviously, it was absolutely impossible to cover such a vast area in one morning, so Taylor defined the area for me.
Today’s running workload is equivalent to a length of more than 30,000 meters.
If I am an ordinary athlete, it is not difficult to run 30,000 meters every morning. But here comes the problem. I have to put on a light armor made of fine steel and run with a heavy Odachi on my back. This is not a normal athlete. It's an easy thing.
