.

  Liu Da Guan Ren actually had his own bitter tale to tell, originally he vowed to use thieves to control thieves, but unexpectedly these strong thieves were really despicable, after robbing two large strong thief tribes, apart from increasing their own population by a bit...

  Going to sweep through those small tribes again, apart from letting one's own warriors' knives get a taste of blood and exercising their muscles, doesn't have much significance. As the dignity of a lord, these words can only be shared with his three closest female companions, how could Old Liu bear to tell others?

  The slaves on the wasteland can be said to be the cheapest slaves, throughout the Aegean continent, the most valuable slaves are no more than beautiful girls and skilled craftsmen, and the worst are just unskilled laborers.

  The robbers on the wasteland are all tall and strong, which is indeed suitable for doing hard labor. However, there are no mines on the wasteland, so these captured slaves temporarily have no value other than consuming food.

  Anyway, the temple had already completed the quota of one thousand people in the fiefdom. Liu Zhen changed his strategy for suppressing bandits and formed a mixed team composed of militia and slaves to clear out all the small bandit tribes within a hundred miles first, clearing out a clean territory around them. As for the remaining two large bandit groups, Razor Mountain Jidi Tribe and White-headed Crow Wilderness People Tribe, Old Liu wanted to put off dealing with them for now. It was unrealistic to completely eliminate these large tribes, and Old Liu still had other uses for them.

  The most urgent task is to make money, buy food and clothes for the winter, which is what Liu Zhen is most worried about now.

  Lao Liu thought that the melons he brought back from Chestnut Island would definitely make a lot of money. However, distant water cannot solve the thirst of the moment, and it will have to wait until next year to plant them, as the current climate is not suitable for the growth of melons.

  As for the beautiful snake instructor's remarks about the human return team, Old Liu had been building the crossing point for two or three days and hadn't seen a single person pass by. This couldn't help but make him even more anxious.

  It turns out being a lord is such a hassle. Liu Zhen thought about it and felt a bit down.

  Cui Peishan's battle song training for Liu Zhen and Hai Leng also tortured Old Liu enough.

  Choi Min-ji's appearance is gentle, but when teaching war songs, she completely transforms into a different person, and it's not an exaggeration to describe her as strict.

  Born singer is born singer, Liu Zhen's rich and natural singing voice. Mastering the fast-paced syllables in high-level battle songs made Cui Peishan both delighted and frustrated at the same time.

  Because Liu Zhen's singing power, once actually applied to chanting a battle song, immediately becomes extremely weak and cannot give birth to a complete battle song, which really makes Cui Peishan puzzled.

  Such an apprentice is one that no mentor would be willing to take on. A very clever child, you teach him anything and he understands it all, yet when the exams come around, he ends up failing miserably.

  In Cui Pei's eyes, Li Han must have made a mistake in understanding and applying his abilities, so Cui Pei decisively gave up the idea of continuing to teach Li Cha.

  She thought Richard's white robe was really a blasphemy of the war memorial ceremony.

  Compared with Liu's stumbling, Helen's progress is terrifying.

  Helen has been meditating and accumulating song power all day since she naturally evolved "Bimon War Dance". Under the guidance of Cui Peishan, her progress is rapid, and she can almost master a war song every day. In two days, she has learned "Luonuo Sa Opera" and "Shanling Yuyuzhi Ge".

  "Rōnonsa no uta" is used to identify the unknown biological warfare song, and "Sankakuyūgen no uta" is another name for Ishihada's war song.

  These two battle songs are very practical and don't consume much song power.

  Liu Zhen was only watching from the side, looking at Helen excitedly using the identification song on the ants on the ground and the wild geese in the sky, and every now and then, Gu De's Bellamy would turn into a stone skin, and then stand aside with a silly smile.

  At first, Director Choi Bae-jae was a bit strange, according to Hyeon's singing skills. Although he was outstanding in the newly promoted war ceremony, it was impossible for him to play several "Ronald Saeki" and "Mountain Ridge Lullaby" songs in a row?

  Helen was a straightforward girl, and she told her mentor everything. After Cui Peishan carefully observed the bangle on Helen's wrist, even the beautiful woman Cui Peishan couldn't help but feel envious for a long time.

  Southern Cross Star Forest journey, Liu Zhen's report to the Temple of God for filing records was just a piece of Wind System Magic Wolf and a piece of Star-Tailed Turtle's magic crystal.

  Cui Peishan knew that this guy didn't know where he got a piece of hell black dragon's magic crystal, but she hadn't expected that Helen's bracelet was actually inlaid with so many high-quality magic crystals.

  Helen's bangle was made by Qingyu using animal tendons, with a yellowish-brown lion eagle demon crystal and a blood-red vampire bat demon crystal shining together on it, the two top-grade demon crystals making Cui Peishan feel stifled for a moment.

  If the two top-quality magic crystals, Star-Tailed Turtle and Double-Footed Flying Dragon, which were carried on the back of the War Giant's two-sided war drum, were added, and enough reserve song power was infused into them, these magic crystals could even make Helen's strength reach a terrifying height.

  The war hymn of the War Sacrifice level is a bit of an understatement for Helen, relying on such a large number of high-quality magic crystals to support her, plus the double-cross effect of the war dance, making Helen at least have the strength to rival four well-equipped peers.

  This estimate is still quite conservative.

  Liu Zhen wanted exactly this effect. What is the comparison of strength based on? It's nothing more than equipment. Liu Zhen has withstood gunfire and fought battles, knowing that rifles can't beat rockets and bayonets can't compete with machine guns.

  Although Liu Zhen had been cursed by the "Blood Sacrifice" of the demon, he shouted loudly on the mountain, saying that he was a martial artist, but in his heart, he still had a special feeling about his own shamanic identity.

  These feelings were now directly transferred to Helen.

  Cui Peishan was so clever that she saw through his good intentions towards Helen at a glance. She let out a long sigh and never forced him to practice the song of meditation again.

  "Ge Wu Shuang Xi is actually just a joke!" Cui Pei Shan no longer insisted on her own point of view, "Li Cha, rather than stagnating in singing, why not focus on practicing your martial skills? Anyway, the Temple doesn't expect you, a born spiritual singer, to make much progress in battle songs."

  Liu Zhenhong was also thinking about it in his heart. He kept following behind Cui Peishan's butt, asking about high-level things like "Jiang's Endurance Song".

  But all the evil-haloed war songs, the temple's powers have practiced, Cui Peishan used this connected spirit war song and stuttered, it was really a good laugh.

  "The current War Chant can only be practiced with the 'Blessed Halo' attribute, such as the 'Ginger Endurance Song'. The War Chants that belong to the 'Evil Halo' category are already of an attacking nature and consume a lot of song energy. Not to mention you, even I can only use it once or twice under the support of the magic crystal. I won't teach you recklessly. You don't need to ask for this either!" The beautiful snake's eyes, which could see through to the soul, stared at Liu Zhen for a long time."

  "No need for you to teach me, I can use it myself... who do you think you are?" Liu Zhen was so angry that he almost choked himself, it seemed that in this lifetime, he would never be able to properly use the Bimon War Song.

  These days of battle song training also made the Swan Knight Song Tanni's disdain for Liu even thicker.

  That look made Liu secretly vow that when the opportunity arose, he would definitely teach this little girl a lesson.

  But on the surface, Liu Zhen still put on a very enthusiastic attitude. Not at all thinking that he was being deceived, he was still very polite and courteous to Song Tanni, as if the experience of Gu De that night had made him more restrained.

  The Swan Tribe is the most arrogant race, and their stubbornness is also famous. Once they look down on someone, that person will never have a chance to change their impression. So Gottani looked at Liu Zhensheng's eyes, which had already become completely indifferent. At first, she still chatted with Liu Zhensheng for a few sentences, but eventually, she simply ignored him.

  She also showed a thorough contempt for the training given by Liu Zhenlei to his subordinates. The so-called "one-hit kill" explained by Liu Zhenlei was, in Kotani's eyes, purely a thug-like fight. There was no rhythm, tempo or aesthetic at all, and it did not conform to the noble identity of a knight at all.

  Including running with large trees, doing aerial flips and training to pile up thick layers of bark, these are all looked down upon by Kotanei, a formally trained knight.

  Every time Liu Zhensheng finishes his training and leaves alone, Song Tanni always challenges a few Feilongcui militiamen with her upright knight swordsmanship and defeats them.

  Kotani's strength was indeed not to be underestimated, with her possessing Douki, she could even withstand the infinite strength of the Panda and the Cynocephalus for several moves. Of course, if she were to face the Hippopotamus Poet or the Mammoth Warrior, she wasn't foolish enough to try and take their brute force head-on.

  Her exquisite swordsmanship was filled with a noble aura, complemented by her white silver quality aura, especially during battles. Her long, smooth white gold hair danced in the wind, truly a beautiful sight.

  Under the deliberate guidance of the lord, even the strongest mammoth warrior Corina had no power to fight back under her sword, and often after a few moves, the long sword was pressed against the big belly.

  Gatani is well-versed in many weapons, and she also taught the pandas how to use the halberd skillfully when riding horses. As for the Tibetan Mastiffs' weapons, Gatani couldn't help but mock them. After two battles, they had completely given up on the raccoon beast's hind leg bone club, and at the request of Lord Lao, they had replaced it with a uniform wooden stick.

  "This is just a child's toy." Gottani evaluated the wooden stick, thinking that it would be better to exchange it for a chain scythe considering the physique of the Inus.

  The knife techniques of the Mammoth Warriors are now being taught by a few Green Party tribe monks, and they have also suffered from her cold eyes. This time it's not because the Mantis Knife Saint's knife technique is bad, but rather that the Mammoths' long ivory knives look a bit silly.

  "Not one bit elegant." Song Tannie thus evaluated the ivory long knife.

  Hippopotamus poet has also changed his career to become a militia, picking up the spiked club left behind by the strong thieves of Xiongdi, and the territory of Feilong is really too desolate and poor. Now there's no money to equip them with other weapons at all.

  For the nail-headed club, Gottani was exceptionally unimpressed, and according to the hippopotamus militiamen's own estimates, it might be because this weapon was too common, and the swan didn't even deign to glance at it.

  At night, the militiamen all went to the lord's cave to receive rewards, with one cigar for every ten words, standing at the entrance of the cave, one by one, exchanging rice.

  "Is Little Hoof's victory satisfying?" Liu Zhen almost asked the same question every day. About the militia and the heavenly swan's martial arts competition, Old Liu had a crooked idea in his mind from the moment he saw it.

  "Her martial skills are not bad. But if we don't hold back, I'm afraid we'll hurt her, and she's already given us a good show! In fact, Bellamy had another sentence in his stomach - when did our Mastiff people ever fight alone with others?"

  "Although we are letting her go, the shooting skills she taught are indeed not bad, and some of her insights on knightly martial arts are worth learning from." Good's view was different. Panda has always been straightforward, last time being thrown out of the cave by Gudanie, although it was Good who had deliberately tried to kill her, but this swan female knight's martial arts skills indeed made Good admire sincerely.

  "Regarding the Knight's Charge, she really knows her stuff! I was discussing with her the techniques of riding a mount and charging at an opponent. I'm very impressed!" Corina also nodded in agreement with Master Pan's words.

  Corina bore the title of "Knight of the Pegasus". Since learning that no one else in the militia had received this honor, her confidence soared and she spent every day riding her prized warhorse, insisting that a knight without a horse was not a true knight.

  Turquoise was so poor that the two of them had to pawn their door to get a package of tears, where did they come from to provide war horses for this ambitious "Knight of the Spur".

  Korina ultimately had to reluctantly choose the beastly mammoths from her own tribe as mounts, and in her subconscious mind, she was envious of Gatanie's iron cross-beast.

  "You must learn with an open mind! Teach what you learn! It's best to learn her moves too! As for martial arts, Huali will always be our arch-nemesis. Just remember that, and we'll improve on the moves she teaches us, making them more vicious and underhanded! I've seen her swordsmanship, it's rubbish - what's the point of stabbing at someone's chest? Those rich knights with their fancy armor, which one doesn't have a big hard plate on their chest? Stabbing at their groin would be much better! Remember that every part of your body is a lethal weapon, don't waste them. We don't have equipment, we can only rely on our own advantages - and the only way to do that is to train your joints into steel, so you can beat those who look down on you until they're begging for mercy!" Liu Zhen gave his militia the highest orders.

  Since then, Liu Zhen abandoned the study of war songs and began to train the Feilongcui militia. As for the set of skills taught by Songtanni, he used a tone that was neither positive nor negative to belittle it.

  Liu's absurd argument enraged Kotani beside him.

  The Swan Knightess initially just didn't like the Duke of Pigg and deliberately made trouble for him, striking at his prestige.

  Liu Zhen's words made her more energetic, originally she didn't really intend to teach the militia martial arts, but Liu Zhen said so, and Kotani had nothing better to do anyway. Taking advantage of this lord's daily "Evolutionary Boundary", she trained the militia very seriously.

  Liu Zhen was hiding in a cave on the red earth slope, secretly laughing. Some people are not as good as others at being scolded, and some people don't need to be scolded to become useless.

  Such an outstanding Templar knight, knowing more than Liu Zhen could be a great free teacher. The militiamen are learning, and Liu Zhen is also learning with them.

  Every night, he would carefully review with the militiamen again, breaking down and refining their moves, such as how to adjust their footwork when confronting knights with this martial skill, how to catch them off guard and knock them down, and then learn from it, adding countless vicious moves to the knights' techniques.

  Kotani taught with great care, thinking that she could strike a blow at the arrogant attitude of this somehow unpleasant lord, but she soon discovered the abnormalities of these militiamen from some accidental events.

  That was a lesson teaching the mammoth warriors how to charge on long-haired elephants, because the knight's lance was such an expensive weapon, so each mammoth warrior had one person and one fir tree, sharpening the front as a substitute.

  The outstanding performance of the Mammoth Warriors earned a comforting smile from Gotanni, but she soon discovered that these long-haired elephant knights all collectively made a certain movement when charging in formation - they all simultaneously swung their trunks while making a loud trumpeting sound.

  Kotomi realized that this was absolutely not what she had taught, and such an irregular movement could not be a coincidence. There couldn't be such a coincidence, with twelve mammoths all having the same movement at the same time. This could only represent the result of deliberate training.

  And she also saw many poisons from the witch doctor Nochdano Nomars, which were strictly prohibited in the territory of the Mongol Empire.

  She didn't want to interfere at first, but eventually couldn't help asking.

  The witch doctor would certainly not dare not answer a query from a superior noble.

  The answer is shocking: all these poisons were researched under the orders of the lord himself and are used to coat weapons.

  Kotani remembered a detail, that every day those mammoth warriors before going into battle would habitually symbolically smear some mud on the tip of their long spears made from fir trees. It wasn't just the mammoth warriors, other militiamen also had similar habits.

  Originally, Gatan thought it was just a belief or a unique custom, but now that she thinks about it, she finally understands what's going on.

  As soon as Kotani thought of the witch doctor's bubbling poison made from toads and bats, she broke out in a cold sweat.

  After storing a mind's eye, the Swan Maiden Knight soon discovered that these militiamen were secretly tampering with the martial arts she taught. The dignified and upright knightly combat techniques had been subtly mixed with countless low-level moves that completely deviated from the spirit of knighthood. These low-level moves would have gone unnoticed if not for careful observation, and this discovery made Gottani, a regular knight by birth, look very unwell. After the militiamen finished clearing out the small bandits around their territory, they would always exchange words with Gottani, but their discussion of martial arts completely devoid of chivalrous virtues left the Swan Maiden Knight with grave doubts.

  Although it was impossible to guess whether this was what the lord meant, Gottani still resolutely gave up the idea of teaching the militia any more martial skills.

  Soon, the Swan Knight realized that this proud and proper knight had trained a batch of butchers.

  The seemingly calm Danube Prairie is quietly surging with an undercurrent.

  Dark clouds densely covered the sky above the emerald green waters.
