Dang!

    Dangdang!

    When the morning light pierced the night, in the small garden of Lingfeng castle, Arthur was holding a long sword and was cutting right to attack Thorne.

    Thorne held his sword in both hands and moved backward to resist Arthur''s attack.

    Under Arthur''s continuous attack, Thorne grabbed an empty space of Arthur, lifted his sword to block the sharp sword, and stepped forward abruptly. The long sword in his hand pierced Arthur''s neck like a cold light.

    "Your Excellency, you have made great progress," said Thorne in a deep voice, taking the sword away from Arthur''s neck.

    "Is this the consolation of the victor?" said Arthur with a smile. The moment he was scratched by a sharp sword, he really felt like he was going to be pierced in the throat.

    "No." Thorne said solemnly, "you have made great progress. Maybe it''s the relationship between sword moves. Your sword moves and attack methods have changed a lot. It''s not like just blindly crazy attacks and eager to defeat your opponents. In addition, your steps are much more flexible and more calm."

    "The winner is full of sincere comfort." Arthur Renjiu smiled.

    "Sir, do you want to continue?" Thorne ignored Arthur''s laughter. He was not a joker. When guiding the castle guards to practice, he was even more severe and almost ruthless.

    "It''s over for a while." Arthur put his sword back into the scabbard. "The long sword is too clumsy for me. We''d better wait until they forge the sword I designed. Let''s practice well. That''s all for today."

    Hearing the speech, Thorne nodded, raised his hand and slid the long sword into the scabbard.

    He threw his sword to the bodyguard. Arthur took the silk cloth from Leah and wiped his sweat. He asked Thorne, "have the weapons and armor of the first army been sent, and the bows and arrows?"

    "All of them were sent yesterday evening. Leite and Bogu are responsible for receiving them. There is no problem in quantity."

    Arthur nodded and walked to the restaurant. "Let them train the first army well. Don''t relax and don''t care about the loss of weapons and equipment. There will be orders for the first army before long."

    Hearing the speech, Thorne''s heart trembled and immediately thought of Nick and Baggins.

    "Yes, my Lord!"

    From Arthur''s refusal of the vassals to jointly attack Nick and Baggins in sharp blade Canyon to the establishment of the first army, Thorne guessed their fate.

    "My Lord, two of the guards of the castle have cultivated fighting spirit."

    "Oh!" Arthur stopped, looked at Thorne and said happily, "this is really good news. It seems that Warcraft can bring me a strong knight team in addition to disaster! Thorne, how many people in the castle guards haven''t cultivated fighting spirit?"

    "Seventeen more, my Lord," Thorne replied hastily.

    "Seventeen people." Arthur smiled with expectation in his tone. "At this speed, I don''t think Lingfeng castle can have a convoy composed of all the fighting Knights without waiting for this winter!"

    "Yes, my Lord!" Thorne said positively, with excitement and joy in his eyes, and a rare smile on his face.

    It is impossible for even the king''s 500 front iron guards to do this!

    Although the number of guards of Lingfeng castle is only one tenth of that of the king''s front iron guard, Thorne feels great honor when he thinks that these people have at least fighting strength above black iron level!

    Thorne looked at Arthur with reverence. He knew very well that it was all because of the earl.

    The count not only subdued a large group of ghost faced eagles, but also established an army of 100 people. Now the 50 guards of Lingfeng castle will become the most powerful cavalry!

    "At last, I have some confidence. I can stand tall and have no fear of threats." Arthur said to himself, and then smiled at Thorne. "I''m poor, rich and powerful. Taoist friends are sincere and don''t deceive me. It seems that the cultivation of fighting spirit still depends on eating more meat. I just don''t know who will be the first in the first army to cultivate fighting spirit."

    Just the day before yesterday, Arthur had sent orders to Leite and Bogu to teach the cultivation method of fighting spirit to all the soldiers of the first army.

    In fact, according to Arthur''s idea, the method of fighting spirit, which can enhance physique and improve physical quality, should be popularized by the whole people. Although it may cause the problem of Xia breaking the ban with force, it can greatly improve the physique and life span of the people.

    You know, the most lacking thing in the river collar is strong labor.

    But at last, Arthur had no choice but to cancel his "national promotion plan for fighting spirit" for a simple reason - poverty!

    The fundamental reason why the cultivation of fighting spirit is monopolized by the nobility is not that the cultivation methods are so confidential, but that the civilians are too poor.

    When the stomach can''t be filled, civilians have no mind or conditions to cultivate fighting spirit.

    Moreover, most of the low-level laborers used by Lingfeng castle are still slaves, and their living conditions are not even as good as civilians! I can''t eat meat once a year!

    What are you angry about!

    Arthur understood that if you want to improve the physical quality of the people, you can''t solve the problem by just relying on a fighting spirit cultivation method. The most fundamental and direct solution is to strive to promote and complete "one center and five development points".

    Although he didn''t understand what "Taoist friend" meant, it didn''t affect Thorne''s understanding of Arthur''s words.

    He frowned and said solemnly, "a hundred people should have some smart guys. Those kids had better live up to your kindness and expectations!"

    "Don''t be so serious." Arthur smiled dumbly when he saw Thorne''s cold and serious expression. "How can they be compared with the castle guards who have been training for a long time? As long as one can cultivate fighting spirit before next winter, I don''t think those Warcraft meat will be in vain."

    "Sure, Rett and Bogu dare not relax!" Thorne looked serious.

    Thorne, that''s it. Sometimes it''s like a stone.

    "Speaking of it, I feel like I''m about to break through, bronze knight. I''m really looking forward to it! Go and eat animal meat!" said Arthur, striding to the restaurant, where there are fresh cooked animal meat.

    When Arthur finished his breakfast, he had turned over and mounted his horse. The team had just left the city gate and the horseshoes crossed the moat. A knight in leather armor galloped from the road to Shanghe town.

    Looking at the galloping horses, Arthur looked up and stopped the procession. He had planned to go to the sharp blade Canyon in the north to inspect the construction of the fortress fortifications.

    Ten castle guards in charge of the guard immediately turned around and faced the galloping horses. Two guards holding the tustra family flag immediately drove the horses forward.

    "Whoa!"

    Seeing the red flag waving in the wind, the visitor immediately reined in the reins and raised the horse''s hooves slightly.

    "Count!" the visitor quickly turned over and dismounted. Across several castle guards, he looked up and shouted to Arthur, "I''m sent by Lord Gustav. My name is Mavis. I have important news for you. Lord Gustav said you''d be very happy!"

    "My Lord, this man is indeed Mavis, the guard of the town." Thorne immediately told Arthur the identity of the visitor. With Arthur''s permission, Mavis was allowed to come forward.

    "Come on, I hope Gustav''s fat man doesn''t exaggerate."

    "Sir," said Arthur Mavis, who looked at the horse''s back, "there are a large group of scholars from the school city, a total of 50 people. Lord Gustav has arranged for them to rest in the hotel in the town. Let me come and ask your instructions!"

    Hearing the speech, Arthur''s eyes brightened - these people finally arrived!
