This encounter between Adrian's yet-to-be-established territorial army and the Black Bone Pirates completely turned into a one-sided massacre under Alfred's hasty tactics that were calculated and unintentional.
Until the last sharp-tooth shark pirate who had fled to the edge of the sea was shot down, the Black Bone Pirates did not organize any decent counterattack. They could only say that long-range weapons such as longbows or horn bows, once created
With the right conditions, he is very good at creating amazing results.
In contrast to the Black Bone Pirates who were completely wiped out, Adrian's side didn't even have a single seriously injured person. There was only one bugbear who slipped and stepped on a dead webbed man when he jumped out of a hidden hole.
The corpse slipped heavily to the ground and lost a tooth.
At this time, he was dragging his big iron caltrops with one hand and covering his face with the other hand, sitting on the side, embarrassed to see people. Several other bugbears from the same tribe as him were packing their trophies and speaking in bugbear dialect.
Laugh at him.
After Adrian shot Reddick, he did not participate in the annihilation of other sharp-toothed shark men. He just stood on the beach and stared blankly at the pirate ship far away from the coastline. Sam jumped from the big tree in the distance.
, running wildly.
He ran to Adrian's feet, looked up at Adrian, and followed Adrian's line of sight to see the pirate ship. There was a curious look on his face, but he was sensible enough not to ask questions, and just stood quietly.
At Adrian's feet.
In fact, Adrian was not the one who shot Redick to death. Although his long arrow that was blessed with "sure hit" accurately hit Redick's temple, the arrow cluster got stuck in Redick's hard skull and did not shoot.
Through Redick's head.
After all, Reddick is at the master level. For example, the long arrow shot by Adrian at the elite level can be fatal with one hit if it hits the heart or is delayed, but if he wants to crush the skull, it is really beyond his power.
Redick's real fatal injury was caused by another long arrow shot by Mellie. This long arrow slipped from the air in a projectile posture, penetrated the back of Redick's head, and then passed through the frame of Redick's right eye.
If it were worn out, it would kill him in one fell swoop.
Adrian and Sam stood on the edge of the beach for a while. Alfred came behind Adrian with the archer leader Mellie and the hunter leader Olhe. He did not disturb Adrian who was in a trance, but was respectful.
Waiting.
Adrian was thinking a lot at this time. The camp of Alfred and others was actually discovered by Sam last night, but due to the reserve of the high-ranking elf nobles, which seemed somewhat ridiculous to Adrian, he did not intend to challenge it now.
Adrian of the existing order did not go to join them.
This morning's pirate ship was actually discovered by Adrian first. He did not issue a warning. It was a small test for Alfred and others. The test results were not bad. Although the tactics were formulated in a hurry, they were still able to deal with a group of pirates.
The outer pirate ships of the Black Bone Pirates are enough.
After all, Alfred and others are not professional soldiers of the dynasty. They are just the private armed forces of a small rural lord. Even Alfred's main occupation is just a housekeeper, and he can wipe out a pirate ship at an almost non-existent cost.
, Adrian is already very satisfied.
What Adrian was thinking about at the moment was the man in white robes who had never shown his face. He witnessed with his own eyes that the man appeared without any sense of existence, and then disappeared in an extremely strange way and did not know where he went.
Adrian was sure that the other party had already discovered him. When he approached the hunting ground set up by Alfred and others, and when he hid himself in the tree, he could clearly feel a strange feeling sweeping over him and Sam.
It was a pure spiritual force, powerful and contradictory, the kind of innocent curiosity that only existed in simple children, intertwined with a cold evil thought full of destructive desire, which made Adrian have to think of something.
A profession that only existed in movies in his previous life, a psychotic killer.
A troublesome person who looked like he was not easy to mess with disappeared into the sea near his territory. He didn't know if it would cause big trouble, but it was useless to think about it. Adrian even mobilized the power of order as an assistant to bring nearby people to the sea.
After sensing it carefully, but finding nothing, Adrian could only temporarily put this vague worry behind him.
Adrian turned around and looked at Alfred, Mellie and Orch with a smile on his face. This made Alfred, who had always been a little nervous inside, breathe a sigh of relief and greet him first:
"Good day, my lord."
Adrian solemnly responded to Alfred's greetings: "Good day, Afu, good day, Ms. Mellie, good day, Mr. Orch."
After Mellie and Orch responded to their greetings, they returned to the hunting ground to sort out the trophies, while Alfred followed Adrian and carefully organized the conversation for a while before saying:
"It's like this, Lord Lord, after we crossed the Opal River yesterday, we set up camp on the west bank. In the early morning, Captain Meili's archer sentry discovered a pirate ship on the sea approaching the mouth of the sea.
So I convened various leaders to discuss countermeasures. After sorting out the baggage, the earth dragon, white goblin, white elf farmer, and the velociraptor you received on your birthday, all safely retreated to the safety of the upper reaches of the Opal River under the leadership of Miss Vicki.
area, as for the battle on the hunting ground..."
Alfred told the story exactly, including the tactics that took place on the river beach to lure the enemy. Finally, Alfred said:
"At present, it seems that the armed forces in our territory are still immature, including me, they are still immature. Looking back, my confident tactics still have many detailed loopholes. I can win at the current price. On the one hand,
It’s because the opponent is just a peripheral member of the Black Bone Pirates and their overall quality is not high. On the other hand, they should be grateful for the protection of the three supreme gods.”
Looking at the humble Alfred, Adrian became more and more satisfied. He patted Alfred on the shoulder and praised:
"You have done a great job, Afu. We are still young and have a lot of time to grow. Don't worry, your father will be proud of you."
Alfred first glanced at Adrian gratefully. As a low-level elf in the butler profession, there is no better gift than receiving praise from a high-level elf employer, and the words "Your father will be proud of you."
.” Alfred was so excited that he couldn’t control himself.
Compared with his father, who is also a butler, Alfred is really not sure that he will surpass his father and become a better butler. This is not a matter of lack of confidence, but that Alfred is confident that he will never be better than him even in the entire Nibelungen.
My father has become an even better steward.
Then, if he wanted to make his father proud, there was only one way left, and that was three words that Alfred had never dared to think of before: little aristocrat.
If for the lower elves, copying the legend of the Holy Spirit Grand Elder Foewind Windford is just a boast after being drunk, or a fantasy in sleep when no one else is around, then the title of Little Noble is for all lower elves.
It is an ideal that we dream of and that is real and tangible.
Although they are both small nobles, there are differences between high-ranking elves and low-ranking elves who are not descendants of the Holy Spirit Great Elder. The lower-ranking elves and small nobles cannot be as hereditary and replaceable as the high-ranking elves who are not descendants of the Holy Spirit Great Elder. But that is the Green Sea after all.
It is the highest status a lower-level elf can obtain in the political system.
Looking at Alfred who was trembling with excitement in front of him, Adrian felt somewhat unconcerned. Although even if Adrian could get the title of "Great Scholar" in the future, he would only be able to confer three minor nobles, but Adrian
At the moment, he is just painting cakes for Alfred to satisfy his hunger.
What Adrian said was "Your father will be proud of you." It was not "Your father will be proud of you." Of course, it was not entirely false. If Alfred was really capable enough, Al
Derian will not begrudge the minor noble title in his hand, everything depends on Alfred's performance.
Looking at Alfred, who was about to kneel down and swear allegiance, Adrian felt somewhat emotional. In the Splendi world, reincarnation is really a science. Thanks to the former artifact spirit of the Fortune Cauldron, the current Lord God allows Ai
Derian really won at the starting line.
As a great nobleman, Adrian was born with everything he could desire, knowledge, power, wealth, and status. These are all ready. As long as Adrian doesn't slack off or commit suicide, as long as time passes, everything will be possible.
All at your fingertips.
At this time, Meili and Orch came together again. Orch was still not good at words and didn't know what to say in front of Adrian, so it was Meili who spoke:
"Lord, Butler Alfred, after carefully cleaning the battlefield, we didn't get many trophies, just some bone weapons. Only the weapon of the leader of the sharp-toothed shark man has some value. It should be made from the skull of a giant ocean beast.
It was built, but it could only cover the consumption of arrows, but we got a dozen small boats and an unaccepted pirate ship."
Adrian nodded to Mellie, then showed a warm smile to Orch, turned to Alfred and asked: "What do you think, Afu."
The arrival of Mellie and Orch allowed Alfred to quickly adjust his mentality and return to the elegant look that a butler of a noble family should have. The confident smile returned to Alfred's face, and he thought for a moment.
said:
"I think you can go and receive it. Letting it float on the sea is not a good choice. It may cause trouble to the sea elves. I think they will be happy to pay a sum of magic crystals to cover up their work mistakes.
Yes, my lord."
Adrian did not speak, but glanced at the pirate ship floating on the sea again. Alfred knew that Adrian was worried about the mysteriously disappearing white robe. He thought for a while and then said:
"As for that mysterious white robe, I think since he didn't even intervene in the destruction of the Black Bone Pirates, he probably wouldn't fall out with us over a pirate ship."
Adrian thought for a while and made up his mind:
"Go and make arrangements, Ah Fu, and call Vicky and the others back by the way."
