Chapter 259: The Corps' Progress

After communicating with the knights, Chu Ming left the woods and let them figure it out on their own.

After Nathan saw Chu Ming leaving, he quickly got up and followed in Chu Ming's footsteps.

"Ren."

Nathan waved his hand from behind and called Chu Ming to stop.

The man's long fox ears twitched slightly, and he asked curiously: "Can practicing the secret method really allow people to pass the first trial?"

Chu Ming looked back at Nathan, spread his hands and said, "Whether you can pass the first trial or not depends on yourself. The secret method is just a foreign object."

"The Fierce Sun Secret Technique focuses on will. The upper limit is extremely high, and the lower limit is also ridiculously low. If you don't have a firm belief, this secret technique will only drag you down."

When Nathan heard this, his eyes lit up, and he automatically ignored the lower limit of the Lieyang Secret Technique, "The upper limit is extremely high, how high can it be?"

Chu Ming showed a half-smiling expression, "Let me tell you this, I once saw a blue knight use the Fiery Sun Secret Technique to exert his strength that can touch the epic. The Dark Blue Knight practiced the Fierce Sun Secret Technique and reached the level of It’s not impossible with my strength.”

Nathan asked curiously: "Have you also practiced the Secret Technique of the Fierce Sun?"

"It's not necessary for me."

Chu Ming shook his head.

"The Secret Technique of the Fierce Sun in my hand only reaches the epic one-star level, and nothing beyond that."

"What I just gave the knights to practice is the secret method below the dark blue part. I'm not in a hurry about the epic part. These guys are still too weak at the moment."

Nathan paused inwardly, gritted his teeth and said, "See if I can also practice the Fierce Sun Secret Technique. I need the complete Secret Technique including the epic part."

A somewhat surprised look appeared on Chu Ming's face, "Why did you come here to learn a secret method that is only a one-star part of an epic poem without learning your own secret method?"

The fox knight shrank in embarrassment and said with a wry smile: "Ren, you think too highly of me. The secret method I practiced before was the knight training secret method released by the city hall. How can I get access to the epic secret method?"

"Besides, I will be satisfied if I can advance to the epic level. No matter what the next level is, it has nothing to do with me."

Chu Ming suddenly realized it and smiled softly.

After spending so much time with the epic knights in the Violet King City, he almost thought that the inheritance of epic knights was very common.

He then remembered that although Nathan's qualifications were quite good, he was born in a rural area and without the support of a big force, it was still very difficult for him to get in touch with the epic knight heritage.

Chu Ming put his hands behind his back and said: "You have joined the mercenary group anyway, I won't hide it anymore."

"It's just that I haven't copied down the secret method of this epic part. When the carriage starts, you can come to me and I will teach you personally."

Nathan's eyes were filled with surprise, and he put his arm around Chu Ming's shoulders excitedly, "My good leader, I'm counting on you."

Chu Ming took a step back calmly, "My requirements for you are the same as theirs, which is to pass the first trial before arriving at Clinton Kingdom."

The fox knight patted his furry chest and said confidently: "Of course, the first trial is just a little difficult for me."

Chu Ming glanced at him. He didn't know who looked downcast after failing yesterday's challenge. Only one day later, he regained his confidence.

However, it is a good thing to have confidence. The Lieyang Secret Technique itself is a secret technique that focuses on thoughts and will. It is not good if it is too decadent.

Nathan's performance saved him a lot of effort.

Compared with Nathan, the knights in the Corps have much weaker beliefs. They are mediocre people themselves. They have spent half their lives in a hazy state. It is not easy for them to have an exciting and uplifting mentality like young people. If you want to change their minds and build up their confidence, , still have to do it step by step.

Chu Ming had just established a strong image in front of the knights of the corps, and also expressed his absolute confidence that he could let them pass the first trial.

Even if these guys have no confidence in themselves, they will still believe what he says.

It can be said that Chu Ming is now the spiritual support for the knights of the Corps to increase their strength. Although they don't know where they will go in the future, since Chu Ming leads them forward, they only need to follow Chu Ming's footsteps.

As long as the pillar of Chu Ming is still there, the faith of the Knights of the Legion will not collapse, and they will even regain their confidence as they advance on the knight's path, and reappear the glory of the Secret Art of the Fierce Sun in the land of southern Xinjiang.

…

After the carriage team rested for a while, they continued to drive south.

The difference from before was that Chu Ming would take time at noon every day to answer the questions of the knights about practicing the secret method of the blazing sun, and secretly feed these guys some chicken soup.

Half a month later, the carriage team left Simon's Kingdom and entered the Atrium. What greeted them was a human kingdom called Yap. The wind prevailed, and many dwarf craftsmen gathered.

As a kingdom close to the Violet Principality, the Yapu Kingdom also has a very popular mage profession. Under the joint research of craftsmen and mages, the magical magic pattern armor technology was born here.

After the knight wears the magic pattern armor, it is like having the magic pattern circuit of the magic knight, which can release a variety of spells to assist in combat, greatly enhancing the knight's strength, allowing dark green level knights to easily defeat the dark blue knight.

However, although the magic pattern armor technology is good, it also has many shortcomings. For example, the technology is not mature enough, it is expensive, it is easy to damage, and the upper limit is not high...

In any case, the emergence of magic pattern armor is a good thing after all, and can help humans better fight against darkness.

In fact, Chu Ming is still very attracted to the so-called magic pattern armor. Otherwise, the appearance of the magic pattern armor is several blocks away from those traditional armors. The combination of the armor and the flashing purple magic patterns is full of futuristic feeling.

After entering the city of Puya Kingdom, Chu Ming went to specifically ask the magic pattern armor craftsmen. When he learned about the ridiculous price of the magic pattern armor, Chu Ming's fiery heart was temporarily extinguished.

Fortunately, Cronuo saw Chu Ming's heartbeat. The man said that although the magic pattern armor technology of Reran Kingdom was not strong, it could still be made. He threatened to give Chu Ming a magic pattern armor in the future. Patterned armor.

In the city of Petrit, Chu Ming and his carriage team found a hotel to stay temporarily.

With the help of Chu Ming, the Knights of the Legion made rapid progress. In just over half a month, they had initially mastered the secret method of Lieyang and could use the secret method in actual combat.

The carriage team stayed in Petrit for two days. During these two days, the knights of the regiment tried to invite the knights in the city for a trial.

But no one else could pass the trial, and they were all defeated miserably at the hands of their opponents.

Chu Ming was not surprised by this. The Knights of the Legion had only initially mastered the secret method of Lieyang. The level of the knights was so low that they could not even use Ji Yi.

Just like the knights who practice arcane techniques, the Knights of the Burning Sun are also unable to activate their ultimate intention before reaching the level of the dark green Great Knight.

However, the Fierce Sun Secret Technique itself is a magical secret technique born from spiritual power. Even if there is no ultimate intention, the knight can improve his own strength by strengthening his spiritual power and strengthening his will.

Chu Ming's purpose of letting the knights of the Corps undergo trials in advance was just to let them get used to the secret method of Lieyang and change their past fighting methods. He did not have any expectation that they would pass the trials.

After the knights failed the trial, under the guidance of Chu Ming, they gradually discovered their own problems. Only then did they realize that the knight habits they had been accustomed to before were so wrong.

Although the knights suffered repeated defeats in the battle, in just two days, their progress was so fast that they even surprised themselves.

This allowed everyone to recover a lot of their confidence after failing the trial, and they started practicing even harder.

Seeing that the knights of the Corps had gradually digested the results of practicing the Secret Technique of the Fierce Sun, and there was no need to stay in the city any longer, Chu Ming directed the carriage team to continue southward.

Another month has passed. During this period, the strength of the knights has increased rapidly, and four knights have even broken through to the dark green level.

Seeing a knight's breakthrough, other knights also cheered up. The increase in strength gave them a little more confidence, and they looked forward to the next challenge and trial.

It's just that the carriage team rarely stopped in the city for a whole month. Even if it was to purchase supplies, Chu Ming only let the carriage team stay for half a day, without giving the knights a chance to practice, and hurried on their way.

Finally, when he was about to leave the Yap Kingdom, the knight couldn't bear it anymore and asked Miguel to come to him.

Beside the campfire, Chu Ming grilled the wild fish that the knight caught by the river and handed it to Irina.

The little maid swallowed secretly, shook her head and said, "Master, you eat first."

Chu Ming forced the grilled fish skewers into the girl's hands, and intentionally or unintentionally showed off the fish that had not yet been grilled in his other hand.

"Young Master wants to eat a big fish. This one is too small. I'll give it to you."

Irina held the small wooden stick for grilling fish and looked at the fish in Chu Ming's hand. When she saw that the fish was indeed bigger than the one in her hand, she felt relieved, thanked her happily, and hugged the grilled fish. Start chewing.

Seeing Irina eating so deliciously, Chu Ming had a faint smile on his lips. Then he turned his attention to the bonfire and flipped the fish.

At this time, Miguel came over. The man had a bit of anxiety on his face and sat next to Chu Ming.

Before he could think of how to speak, Chu Ming asked with a steady smile: "Miguel, you must be looking for me if you have something to do."

Miguel paused in his heart, and he hesitated and said: "The brothers in the corps feel that their strength has improved a lot, and they want to challenge the God of War trial again... However, the carriage team has not stopped for a month, and they can't find them. to the opportunity.”

The smile on Chu Ming's face remained unchanged, "It's really time for the carriage team to stop. Let's stop at the next city on the route, just to test their cultivation results."

Seeing that Chu Ming agreed so readily, Miguel couldn't help but wonder if Chu Ming had expected him to come.

But since Chu Ming agreed, he didn't think too much. After chatting with Chu Ming for a few more words, he walked to the bonfire where the knights gathered to tell the others the good news.

Crono, who was sitting opposite Chu Ming, gnawed on the baked semolina pancakes and said cheerfully: "I didn't expect you to be good at training knights. I don't know what your family thought, but they actually released you. But if If you don’t come to the Violet Principality, you probably won’t be able to discover your talent as a mage in this life. This is really a wonderful fate.”

The grilled fish was sizzling on the campfire rack. After Chu Ming turned it over, he shook his head and said: "If he were a normal knight, he would have made a breakthrough long ago under my guidance."

"The knights of the mercenary group are indeed diligent enough, but the talent of the knights is still lacking after all."

"But I believe this situation will change soon. After heading to the next city, I estimate that some of the knights in the regiment will pass the first trial."

Crono was stunned for a moment, "You had expected this?"

Chu Ming smiled and said, "The reason why I didn't let the carriage team stay in the city this month is to wait for them to come to me."

"If a knight comes to me, it means that he has the confidence to challenge the first trial."

Krono touched his chin, "By the way, the next stop should be the Kingdom of Reran. The dwarf knights there are not easy to deal with. Compared with humans, dwarf knights will suffer a lot in height, but their physical strength is generally stronger than that of human knights of the same level, so it is still very troublesome to deal with them."

Chu Ming spread his hands and said, "It doesn't matter. It will take about two months for the carriage team to reach the Clinton Kingdom. There is still plenty of time. I am afraid that the opponent is not strong enough. The stronger the gatekeeper is, the richer the gift from the gods will be after the knight passes."

"I believe that after all the knights of the Knights pass the first trial, their strength will usher in a qualitative leap."

Krono is a little Envious, "Damn it, when will there be a wizard trial?"

Chu Ming glanced at him, "Don't you have magic patterns? You are almost half a knight. You can also participate in the God of War Trial."

Krono waved his hand hurriedly, "I am only half a player. I can't even beat an ordinary dark blue knight. Forget it."

Chu Ming flipped the grilled fish and shook his head, "I don't know if magic pattern armor is considered part of the knight's power. You can try it after you go back. What if you pass it?"

"That's right, hehe..."

...

Eight days later, the carriage team crossed the border of the Puya Kingdom and entered the Reran Kingdom. Compared with other kingdoms, the cities of the dwarf kingdom are unique. They like to hang flags with gold patterns and red backgrounds on the city walls and streets. Even the city's buildings and streets are smaller than those of normal human cities. After the carriage team entered the city, it was like entering a fairy tale town.

There are not many humans traveling in the dwarf city, and caravans rarely pass by. Chu Ming and his group walked on the street in a large group, and their tall figures attracted the attention of pedestrians on the road.

Fortunately, there was a local named Krono in the team, so they were not harassed and checked into the hotel smoothly.

After everything was ready, Chu Ming led the knights of the Corps out of the hotel.

His eyes moved and stayed on Aichi.

"Krono and I will take the knights of the Corps to the training ground. I'll leave it to you here. Come to us immediately if anything happens."

Aichi solemnly performed the knight's salute, "Don't worry, Lord Ryan, I'll take care of this."

"Well, Amy, please keep an eye on Irina for me."

Chu Ming waved to the girl beside him and led the Corps towards the training ground.

...

"Hey, is that a human knight group?"

"They look so strange."

"They look so fierce."

Chu Ming led dozens of knights through the street, and the dwarves on both sides, with slightly wrinkled skin, like old children, discussed in a low voice.

This dwarf city is not very prosperous, and there are few human caravans staying here. The dwarf citizens suddenly saw such a large formation of human knights, and they couldn't help but feel curious.

Chu Ming's ears moved slightly, and the strange language of the surrounding dwarven citizens came into his mind.

He asked Krono: "What language do they speak?"

"The local black Zat dwarven language."

Krono shrugged.

"In fact, they all know a little bit of the common language, but they don't like to speak it usually."

"Sir, you seem to know us very well."

In front of everyone, a team of dwarven knights wearing heavy armor and carrying giant hammers came over.

The burly dwarf in the lead looked at the document handed to him by the city gate guard, and asked cautiously: "Are you a mercenary group from the Violet Principality? Why are you running around in the city?"

Krono gave Chu Ming a look, and he stepped forward and gave the dwarf a noble salute, "I am Krono Harlowen, Sir Knight, can you tell me your name?"

The dwarf knight faced Krono, and a sense of familiarity emerged in his heart. His face eased and said: "Jim Thunder Hammer."

"You should be a human noble in the southern city, why are you with this mercenary group?"

Krono smiled and explained: "I just came back from studying in the Violet Principality, and the mercenary group behind me just happened to be on my way."

Jim hummed.

"Don't wander around the city if you have nothing to do. The residents here have rarely seen humans. Don't scare them."

The dwarf knight turned around and was about to leave. At this time, Krono suddenly had an idea and asked Jim: "Sir Jim, the knights behind me are all qualified to participate in the God of War Trial. They are looking for opponents for the trial. I wonder if you have any candidates."

"Oh?" The dwarf knight turned back and became interested instantly. "I didn't expect that the God of War Trial has spread to the Violet Principality. Even the knights from the Violet Principality know about it?"

"If you want to find a trial opponent, you have asked the right person. Come with me. Many soldiers in the barracks are struggling to find opponents."

After Jim finished speaking, the knights in front of him made way for him. He walked in front and led the city knights and the mercenary group to the barracks.

Behind Chu Ming, the knights became a lot more nervous when they heard that they were about to face the dwarf warriors.

Not to mention a duel with the dwarf knights, they rarely even saw dwarves when they were in the Violet Duchy. Faced with this unknown enemy, everyone was still a little nervous.

As if sensing the change in the knights' mood, Chu Ming said with his head tilted: "I'm here, what are you afraid of?"

My head was dizzy today, and it took me a long time to finish writing 5,000 words.
