"There's still something wrong with your pace, and you'll be at a disadvantage on the battlefield."
After fighting until both of them were a little exhausted and each slowed down their movements, Hans Darry suddenly said this.
Arthur Yile, how come everyone wants to educate themselves?
The last person who pointed out his problem was still tied up in his castle.
"So what? As long as I'm strong enough, what opponent can catch my sword? What's the use of having flexible feet then?"
Hans took a step back, and while fighting back with his sword, he said to Arthur: "You are not a magic mountain, and your strength does not grow infinitely after all. Young people should be more humble and listen to the experiences of older people."
Arthur wanted to retort, but held back.
Do you want to tell this middle-aged man that his power can really grow wirelessly?
Let him remain ignorant.
"Ah, yes, yes, you are right."
Hans thought he had listened to his own advice, and his impression of the young man had improved.
He was in the castle just now and didn't know why Arthur came or why the fight started.
If it was just to make the Brackens, Vances, and Pipers in the seats happy, then he felt it was necessary to advise Count Janos on how out of place Hendry was.
It's almost as absurd as King Robert holding tourneys or big hunts all day long.
So he asked: "Why did you get into this fight?"
"In order to get Hendry to send troops, because he promised to give me five hundred soldiers if I won three games." Arthur struck hard and replied.
If the two of them were not fighting each other, this conversation would still be very harmonious.
"Why send troops?" Hans continued to ask.
"Because the Blackwood family sent troops to surround my castle and oppress my subjects." Arthur said in a different way.
As for the kidnapping of Lord Tytos Blackwood's eldest son, he chose not to mention it.
"You sound like a good lord."
Arthur was very satisfied with this praise, "Yes, I am fighting for my people."
Hans quickly took two steps back and temporarily broke away from the battle. "It sounds like I blocked the reasonable request of a justice lord?"
"Ah, yes, yes." Arthur did not pursue him and took the opportunity to rest.
After all, wielding a big sword and slashing with it is still very tiring.
The two of them stood holding swords, staring at each other with their big eyes.
In the audience, people who didn't know why fell silent, thinking that this was a moment of silence before the decisive battle.
It's like the darkest hour before dawn.
Feeling that Hans was gathering strength to prepare for a big blow, Arthur also secretly became nervous.
After all, a warrior with top-notch strength and skills is not that easy to deal with.
Just when Arthur raised his sword again, Mr. Hans suddenly said:
"I can't fight anymore, I surrender."
Everyone outside the court looked at each other in shock when they heard this, but did not react.
Even the officer referee was stunned.
But soon it became lively.
Both the minor nobles and the knights took the moral high ground and launched a fierce attack on Hans Darry.
Most of them think this is to fool them.
A few people even yelled and cursed, and it looked like they had lost a lot.
Marco Piper was stunned. Just when he saw the rise, the battle suddenly ended.
Hendry did not expect such a situation. Although he won a large sum of money as a dealer, the thought of not sending troops still disturbed his thinking.
Khalil Vance was a little lucky, now the three of them were the same.
Arthur was even more confused. He put down his sword in embarrassment and watched Hans put away his sword and leave.
I don’t know what this middle-aged knight means?
After a long commotion, Hendry announced that Arthur had won and added the conditions for sending troops:
"Everyone has seen that Mr. Hans did not use all his strength, which means that Arthur did not completely win. Although this is not a contract, I am still prepared to send five hundred troops to help Sir Arthur."
"It's just that I have a condition. No one of these five hundred soldiers can die. If anyone is injured, the compensation and medical treatment should be borne by Sir Arthur Bracken and his family."
Hendry's speech had a very obvious aristocratic style. It was as if Arthur had broken the contract and he continued to abide by his promise regardless of the loss.
Arthur thought for a while and felt that he could accept it, but there was one thing he had to ask clearly to avoid quarrels in the future.
"What if a soldier is killed in action?"
Hendry said without thinking: "That's easy to handle. One soldier will compensate my family for one hundred gold dragons."
Arthur was a little confused, "The ransom for a small noble is only three hundred gold dragons, but you want a hundred gold dragons for a soldier. This is too much!"
"If you dislike it, you can leave." Hendry remained unmoved.
The life-saving straw was right in front of him, how could Arthur give up.
"How can I dislike it? Then I will do as you say. When will we send out the troops? Who will lead them?"
As the top four major forces in the Riverlands, the Bracken family has about 3,500 standing troops, and there are about a thousand people near Stonehedge City.
"If you are willing, set off now. Three hundred will be mobilized from the vicinity of Stone Hedge City, and the rest will enlist along the way. As commander, I will appoint Knight Andrew Bracken. When the time comes, Arthur, you will also obey his orders."
Since Arthur had won a large sum of money and nearly a thousand gold dragons, Hendry did not embarrass Arthur on the issue of sending troops.
There are some Bu family soldiers stationed along the route to the north here, and they can be recruited through orders from Shili City on the way north.
Arthur is quite satisfied with this arrangement.
Without further ado, after thanking Hendry and Earl Janos, he and Andrew left the martial arts arena and headed to the barracks.
The two soldiers who came with him followed him.
Andrew, with a round face and beard, of medium height, is a branch son of the Bracken family and has been trained according to the standards of a senior officer.
In terms of status, Andrew is definitely not as good as Arthur, a minor nobleman, but in terms of actual power, Arthur is still not as good as him.
There are two paths in life, and I don’t know which one is better and which one is worse.
"Sir, why don't you take a rest first? I think you are already very tired."
Andrew also watched these three battles and highly recognized Arthur's strength, with a hint of compliment in his tone.
"No, I can rest immediately. My subjects are still being bullied, so it doesn't matter if I am a little tired."
Arthur pretended to be righteous and said calmly.
Andrew was in awe.
"There is still some time until the afternoon. If we set off immediately, we can reach the vicinity of Hejian Avenue before it gets completely dark."
The Riverwalk is a road that runs through the Riverlands on the south bank of the Red Fork River from west to east. It is one of the five roads built during the reign of "Arbiter" Jaehaerys.
Once there, it's not far from the Red Fork River.
Arthur nodded in agreement.
"In addition, we can send cavalry to notify the recruited soldiers along the road in advance, which can save some time." Andrew suggested again.
"You are a professional commander, and everything is arranged by you."
Arthur was very satisfied with Andrew and turned to thinking about how to sell Brynden Blackwood at a good price.
