Chapter Nineteen Becoming an Officer

  The fat lord in the encirclement was trembling, looking around at the people, wondering what they were discussing. It wasn't until then that Guagua realized that among these twenty-seven cavalrymen, more than half of them were wearing relatively luxurious armor, and should be some nobles and influential people.

  "We apologize!!!! I apologize!!!!! Please don't kill me!!!!!!" Lord Chubby shouted. Sir Lancelot Octo's voice came, as if he had heard a very funny joke: "Hahaha, if apologizing can be forgiven, then I also apologize for taking your lives!" As he spoke, the ice claws took several steps forward in unison.

  "Wait, wait, wait!!! We are willing to pay a ransom to show our apology!!!" Sir Lancelot Oakenshield said with approval, "Very well! I agree with your attitude. I'm also tired and don't want to waste your time, so I suggest that each of you, every one of the poor devils trapped by me, should pay a ransom in white silver or crystal equal to their body weight. If your family thinks you're not worth this price, then it's not my problem. When I receive your ransom, I'll let you go. Of course, if you can't find such wealth at once, I agree that you can exchange with food, cloth and other goods of equivalent value."

  "What?! We can only leave after the ransom is received?! We'll all freeze to death here!!" The fat lord shouted in terror, his face had turned pale, apparently the ransom earlier also scared him to the point of discomforting his heart.

  "I can only apologize to the one who took your power, slept with your wife and mistress, and killed your idiot son." Sillon Octo's voice came without regret. As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of ice light passed through the ice wall, and the fat lord was dismembered. It turned out that when the ice wall was set up, a new magic array had been laid out at the same time, and it was possible to release an ice blade at any time to kill the people in the array.

  The twenty-six cavalrymen in the array were pale and speechless, unsure of what to say.

  "We need to send someone as a messenger..." A middle-aged man with a square jaw said bravely, "And it's a relatively important person... Otherwise, such an important message, we're afraid we can't bring it back."

  "Alright! I agree, but this person's ransom also needs to be delivered. Otherwise, I'll let you go last if he doesn't pay the ransom, it will be you who pays the price." Xiran Oktos' voice came up, sounding very businesslike.

  The middle-aged man with a square chin suddenly turned pale, and it seemed that if he could slap himself in the mouth, he would unhesitatingly turn himself into a pig head.

  When the next messenger who looked like everyone recognized was sent out, his mount also got an acceleration endurance magic from Xilang Octo.

  After they finished, the Ice Claws stood solemnly near the ice wall, waiting. A large number of dog-headed people came out from Pailos Castle, and they brought all the spoils of war into the castle, including various weapons, equipment, wealth, and living horses. The dead horses and humans were also cut open, apparently to be used as food to make dried meat.

  During this time, several greedy Dog Heads secretly cut off human fingers and put them in their mouths, making crunching sounds. This scene made the remaining living humans' faces turn even paler.

  The infantry troops in the distance did not know whether to advance or retreat. The lord and the commander were both cavalry, had charged into the ambush circle, and almost all of them had been killed, so now there was no one to order them to retreat.

  They didn't dare to just rush over and sacrifice their lives for the nobles they hated to death in peacetime. But they also didn't dare to retreat, in case these lords made peace with this terrible magician again, and came back to settle accounts after autumn, which would be unbearable for these lowly people.

  In the midst of this awkwardness, someone said: "We should also go back and help carry the ransom..." "Yes, yes... Let's bring the ransom over as soon as possible, so that Lord can also return home... In case something bad happens to us, we won't be able to afford it either..." As they spoke, this group of infantrymen dispersed, like a pack of beasts scattering, and went their separate ways back home. As for what happened after they returned, no one knew.

  Seeing that the battle was settled, the enemy's infantry also dispersed. Xilang Oktuo also withdrew his formation. The remaining five dog-headed men were taken by Harick into Pailresburg and returned to the camp on the first floor of the mage tower.

  Harry's massive body swaggered at the forefront, his body now carrying a heavy bloody aura that made people feel more oppressive and fearful, but from Harry's humming of an eerie tune, it could be heard that he was in an extremely good mood.

  They soon arrived at their camp, standing in the empty hall on the first floor of the Law Master's Tower, with a sense of vicissitudes as if reborn. Looking at the 5 beds that would forever be empty, Gua Gu said he couldn't express his feelings.

  "Great! Insects! You have passed the test and survived under the master's protection!" Harry still spoke with a mad tone, as if he hadn't had enough of the carnage just now. "Now, let the master award you the honor of victory!"

  As he finished speaking, a black hole suddenly appeared on the second floor of the Law Spire, and a beam of light shot out from inside, bringing down the great wizard Xylara Octavius.

  Xī Lǎng · ào Kè Tuō's artistic eyes swept over the five people, each of whom seemed to be carrying a wound, but after this one true killing practice, everyone's temperament had undergone some subtle changes.

  "Very well, my children. Given your performance in this battle, I am delighted."

  Bluebeard's wisdom and grasp of timing make me proud, he killed 5 people, I hope you can become a commander-type warrior.

  Frenzied axe-wielding madman, his frenetic fighting style sent shivers down my spine. Although he suffered severe injuries, he successfully unleashed his chi and became the second warrior in our territory to grasp it. In this battle, he slew 7 people.

  Now, I appoint Bluebeard Valley Gua and Madman Chopper Ma Dun as deputy commanders. Each of you can select 50 people for training. There will be a grand competition once a month. The winning team will enjoy better food and treatment for a month.

  The other three of you, don't be discouraged either. Once you grasp the concept of Dou Qi, you've basically sealed off the possibility of becoming a Tactician. So I'm also looking forward to seeing if you can awaken even more precious Tactician talents.

  From now on, in each month's martial arts competition, the top ten strongest fighters will be added to Harick's special training team as reserve captains!
