The young wizard knight gently raised his left hand to stop the restlessness of his cavalry.
His movements are very elegant and have the temperament of a high-ranking aristocrat, but if you look carefully, you can still see traces of artificial imitation. This does not mean that he was born badly, but he is still too young.
Qin Yun picked up his hunting bow, of course not to deal with the Witch Clan knights. The feathered arrow rested steadily on the bow string of the animal tendon, and the rough triangular arrow was aimed at a big tree a hundred steps away.
Whoosh!
The moment Qin Yun released his fingers, the arrow shot forward with strong movement of the tendons. It flew across a long distance like lightning and hit the tree trunk. The arrow penetrated half a foot deep. The trajectory of the arrow was completely straight.
[
But Qin Yun's performance was not over yet. The next moment, the second arrow was launched at a faster speed. The arrow shot through the air with a faint red flame, and hit the tail of the previous arrow with great precision.
end.
The arrow that had been stabbed in the butt suddenly exploded into pieces, giving up its position to the newcomers.
Qin Yun put away his hunting bow and looked at the Witch Clan knight calmly.
"good!"
There was a hint of admiration in the eyes of the Witch Clan knight. Although his strength had not yet reached the innate realm, his vision was not bad at all, and he understood the value of Qin Yun's archery skills.
Especially Qin Yun's second arrow, it was very powerful and accurate, and it was also filled with the power of true energy. Even in the Wu Clan army, there were not many sharpshooters who could do this.
If paired with a better quality longbow and specially made arrows, it can even pose a threat to innate masters.
"You have the cultivation level of the eighth level of Qi refining, right? You're only a little bit behind me, and your skills are pretty good, but I don't think you're from this village, are you?"
He stared at Qin Yun, revealing a dangerous light like a wolf.
Qin Yun nodded and said, "Yes, I was originally from the Iron Wolf tribe. The tribe was destroyed and Tuwei Village took me in, so I am willing to accept the call for them."
In order to be able to sneak into Youyuan smoothly, Qin Yun not only forged his identity, used the shape-changing technique to change his physical appearance, but also suppressed his cultivation to a level below his innate ability, making it difficult for even those with powerful supernatural powers to see through.
Regarding the question from the Witch Clan Knight, his answer was naturally flawless.
The Witch Knight had no doubts. He pondered for a moment and said, "I must admit that you have such value. How about swearing allegiance to me to the Witch God?"
For many native people and immigrants, being able to become a vassal of the Wu clan nobles is also a very good thing, but how could Qin Yun surrender to a mere little knight?
His expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "I am willing to join the army because I want to avenge the tribe. Moreover, I also shoulder the responsibility of assisting the last bloodline of the tribe, so forgive me for not agreeing to your request!"
"I don't know how to appreciate it!" a wizard knight shouted angrily.
Even the common people of the Wu Clan looked down upon the native people and immigrant warriors. This Witch Clan knight belonged to a noble family, so Qin Yun's refusal could be said to be an affront.
"It doesn't matter." The wizard knight smiled and said, "My father told me that a real warrior should have a broad mind. I admire your loyalty to the tribe. But I don't know where the person you want to assist is?"
Qin Yun hesitated for a moment and then said: "Young Master is currently learning martial arts in Wuwu Palace."[
"Yes!" The Witch Knight nodded: "I agree to your request. I'll give you some time to prepare to say goodbye to them. We have to go to many places. If everything goes well, it won't be long before we see you in the city of God."
To your young master, haha!"
He had the idea of loving talents for Qin Yun. The reason why he did not force Qin Yun to be loyal was because he hoped to get a truly reliable and loyal subordinate. As a noble, he had many ways to do this, so he didn't have to worry too much.
"By the way, what's going on with your voice?"
Qin Yun's voice is very hoarse and unpleasant. This is of course also a disguise to prevent his accent from being recognized.
Regarding the question from the Witch Clan knight, Qin Yun raised his neck to reveal the scar on his throat: "It was injured by a monster before."
The two deep scars looked a bit shocking, and the Witch Knight said with relief: "It seems that you are lucky, if it were any deeper, you might be dead!"
Qin Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If the other party was arrogant and unreasonable, then he would have to kill everyone present, otherwise he would no longer be able to use his disguised identity.
Now not only do you not need to expose yourself, but judging from the other party's tone, it seems that you want to go to the City of Witches. That is definitely the best thing!
However, Ge Shuhan was ashamed and moved. In his opinion, Qin Yun was willing to sacrifice for himself and others.
"Brother Geshu, you don't need to feel guilty, because this is my own choice." Qin Yun smiled at him and said, "Joining the army is not a bad thing. At least you can make a living and go to the capital of gods."
After a pause, Qin Yun continued: "Brother Geshu, I think the war will break out soon. By then, your village will still be unable to avoid being dragged away. If possible, it is better to leave here and go further away!"
Ge Shuhan nodded vigorously, opened his arms and gave Qin Yun a solid hug: "I know, take care of yourself and you must survive!"
Qin Yun clenched his fist and hit his back, took two steps back, pressed his chest and said, "Definitely!"
Ge Shuhan took off the dagger he was wearing and forced it into Qin Yun's hand: "Take this!"
Qin Yun knew that this was the black iron dagger inherited from Ge Shuhan's family, and it was extremely sharp. Although it was nothing to him who had a magic weapon, Ge Shuhan usually regarded it as more important than his own life.
Never let others touch it.
He accepted the gift because refusing would mean contempt for Geshuhan's intentions.
The villagers in the village also prepared a large bag of dry food for Qin Yun. Ge Shuhan's wives poured the last jar of rice wine at home into a skin bag for Qin Yun to take with him. They were most grateful to Qin Yun.
After bidding farewell to Ge Shuhan and the villagers of Tuwei Village, Qin Yun left with the knights of the Wu clan.
The Wu knights generously gave Qin Yun a mount, and they brought seven horses with them, which originally only formal cavalry could enjoy.
The cavalry headed southeast, but the speed was not very fast because of the thick snow.
The Wu cavalry who were traveling with him had a rather cold attitude towards Qin Yun, and were even a little hostile. The reason was probably because the leading knight valued him. However, after Qin Yun gave them rice wine to enjoy, several of the cavalry
His attitude changed and he was willing to chat with Qin Yun.
Through conversation, Qin Yun learned that the Witch Clan knight who recruited him actually came from the City of Witches. He was an important descendant of the He family and had a hereditary baronage, territory and two hundred private soldiers.[
The families of the Wu Clan developed from tribes. Unlike the numerous large and small families in the Yan and Yuan dynasties, the aristocratic families of the Wu Clan are few in number, but they wield huge power.
The nobles can control a large number of private soldiers. Once the Wumen and the royal family start a war, the nobles will lead the army to join in to gain military exploits and wealth.
The He family is also a big family in the City of Witches. Although He Yeluo is not the most important direct descendant, he still has his own ambitious goals. Recruiting servants to participate in the war is the first step for him to realize his ambitions.
In fact, the nobles of the Witch Clan usually do not hide their ambitions and hide their thoughts too deeply, so it is difficult to attract the loyalty of warriors who advocate bravery. Competition within the family is all based on strength and performance.
He Yeluo had just acquired a new territory. Although the cold winter had not passed, he was already preparing for the upcoming war. Tuwei Village happened to be within his territory, and there were more than a dozen similar villages.
As He Yeluo's subordinate private army, the cavalrymen respected him quite a lot. They revealed He Yeluo's identity to Qin Yun, and also intended that Qin Yun could serve him wholeheartedly.
If he were a real tribal hunter, he would probably surrender in his heart, but it's a pity that Qin Yun is not that at all.
The cavalry ran twenty or thirty miles in the snow and arrived at another larger village. Just like they did in Tuwei Village, He Yeluo ordered to recruit fifteen strong men who brought their own weapons and food.
The other party obeyed without resistance. The fifteen strong men bid farewell to their grieving and crying relatives and silently followed the cavalry towards the next village.
From morning to afternoon and then to dusk, the cavalry led by Heyeluo swept through five villages, recruited 70 native people, and stayed in the sixth village at night.
The team continued to set off early the next morning and continued the recruitment journey. As a result, the team continued to expand and lengthen. When it finally returned, the number of native people reached nearly two hundred.
Most of these natives are capable of physical training, and a few of them have rudimentary skills, so they are appointed as team captains, but their treatment is far less than that of Qin Yun.
As a noble lord, Heyeluo's territory is of course not just a few small villages. A small city called Bath is his foundation. Although Bath City has a population of less than 50,000, it is located in this remote and vast snowfield.
, it can also be regarded as a rare prosperous place.
Although Sparrow is small and well-equipped, the city of Bath has strong walls and defensive facilities, which makes it look more like a small fortress and is difficult to conquer easily.
All the recruited natives were arranged to enter the military camp in the city. They will be rigorously trained by Heyeluo's elite warriors, and eventually become warriors who can fight bravely, fighting for Heyeluo's ambition!
Among these soldiers who were recruited, Qin Yun was a special exception. He did not need to participate in training. Instead, he lived in the lord's mansion as a guard of He Yeluo. Not only did he have a separate room, he even had a local
Civil maid service. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian. Your monthly vote is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please read it.)
