French knight lord: I have a skill panel

Chapter 74 Money and Weapons Touch People's Hearts (5K)

Jos and Nicholas marched rapidly all the way, and when they encountered a small group of gnolls, they immediately swung their swords to kill them, and soon came near the entrance of the No. [-] lair.

Nicholas immediately said to Jos: "You lead the first team of knights to the south to support the Louis brothers and Vincent, and I will lead the militia and the second team of knights to fully control the lair, and then advance to the lair, so as to wipe out all the gnolls."

Although Jos challenged Nicholas on the way here, he couldn't help obeying Nicholas' order at this moment, beckoning to the first team leader Mark Riffy, and hurried to the south.

Being able to kill the leader of the wolf man with his own hands must be a great achievement, and he didn't want to miss it in vain.

Moving forward for a distance of nearly 1000 meters, Jos finally heard the sound of weapons clashing in the jungle not far away, accompanied by shouts of battle.

Jos was overjoyed immediately. It seemed that the leader of the wolf man was not dead yet, and he still had the possibility of making meritorious deeds.

He immediately stepped forward, walked around a few big trees, pulled out vines and thorns, and suddenly saw Brother Louis and Vincent fighting fiercely with a tall jackal.

Surrounded by the corpses of several knights and gnolls, it was obvious that the battle had reached a fever pitch.

The leader of the wolf man looked very strong, and he swung a machete vigorously, very imposing.

From the perspective of strength, it is at least equal to the peak of the fourth-order knight.

Vincent and Ivan were responsible for defending against the attack of the Wolf man leader, while Yale relied on his agility to find opportunities to attack from the side.

The curved sword used by Yale was obtained from Baron Lando's nephew. The first shadow skill he learned was Shadow Step, which belonged to the category of melee combat, and he specialized in looking for opportunities to launch attacks.

At this moment, it is used to sneak attack the leader of the Wolf man, and it is very effective.Every time he makes a shot, he pays attention to speed, and will never be caught because of too much force.

The leader of the gnoll was so annoyed by him, his back, waist and buttocks were frequently hit, and he was scratched with shallow marks.

And every time he wanted to turn around to deal with Yale, he would be interfered by Vincent and Ivan.

As a Tier [-] knight, Wen Sen was promoted to Tier [-] for a short period of time after defeating the Bravery of Gathering Energy.He only has one hand, and his moves are basically just frontal vertical slashes and side sweeps.

Although there were only two simple moves, Vincent spent a lot of effort on these two moves.Every move is powerful and full of pressure.This made the leader of the gnolls have to deal with it carefully every time, and did not dare to take it lightly.

At the same time, Ivan's positive side cannot be underestimated.The first skill he learned was the same as Lomo's, which was Shadow Touch.Every time the leader of the wolf man collided with his sword, he would draw part of his physical strength.

Although Ivan's current extraction ability is still insufficient, the long-term battle has also made the jackals breathless and unsustainable.

The tactics of the three of them were set up together before crossing the river, and now they are playing it, and it really complements each other.The leader of the wolf man became more and more powerless to fight.

Especially Ivan, who was able to extract his internal energy, and Yale, who came after him repeatedly, consumed a lot of the wolf man's physical strength, which made him very distressed.

He already knew that he might not be able to win, and was thinking of finding a chance to kill the weakest Vincent and escape.Suddenly, a burst of chaotic and rapid footsteps came from a distance.

He looked up, and there were actually heavily armed humans rushing over, and there were quite a few of them.

Panicked, the leader of the jackals immediately lost all fighting spirit.He swung his knife and slashed at Vincent, forcing him far away, and then immediately fled to the east.

"Where to escape!"

As soon as Jos arrived at the battlefield, he saw the leader of the jackals fleeing in a hurry, and he immediately pursued him non-stop.

Vincent tried his best to block the swift and violent strike of the leader of the wolf man before he fled. He staggered and was carried away by the strong force. He half-kneeled on the ground and gasped for breath. He couldn't help himself.

The brothers Ivan and Yale didn't care about greeting Vincent, but let the knights who arrived after him take care of them, and immediately followed Jos to chase after him.

At the moment, the leader of the jackals fled in front, while Jos and the two brothers chased after him.

Due to the previous fierce battles with the three of them, coupled with the consumption of Shadow Touch, the leader of the wolf man became more and more unable to keep up with his physical strength while running.

The wounds on the back and lower back were also bleeding continuously.This is undoubtedly worse.

After running wildly for a while, the leader of the wolf man couldn't hold on anymore.

He quickly hid behind a tree, swung his big knife, waited silently for the sound of footsteps approaching, rushed out from behind the tree, and slashed at Jos's abdomen.

This move was unexpected, and the location of the attack was very tricky. It could have caused effective damage.

But Jos had already noticed the movement of the wolf man leader during the pursuit. He jumped up lightly and deftly, and directly reached out to hang on a branch. With a swing of his body, he stood firmly on the branch.

Then, he was condescending and slashed at the leader of the jackals with a sword.

The leader of the gnolls missed a hit and dodged to the side. Just as he was about to run away again, he saw the two brothers Louis had already caught up.

The four of them fought together again, this time with Josi as a new force, and after less than a quarter of an hour of fighting, the leader of the gnolls showed signs of depression.

He took a step back, dodging Josi's sword, and just about to fight back, he felt a chill in his shoulder, and he had been stabbed by Ivan.

This time the shadow touch hit the flesh directly, and the physical strength burst out like a bank bursting.

Knowing that he was unlucky, he tried his best to push Ivan back, leaning on a tree, holding a knife to protect his chest, and begged the three of them: "Stop beating, do you want the treasure I hid? I can give it to you." You guys, spare my life!"

The three exchanged glances with each other, and Josi sneered and said, "Aren't all your treasures in the lair? Kill you, and we can get the same!"

The leader of the wolf man shook his head and said, "I have hidden a large part of it alone. Please spare me, and I will tell you where the treasure is hidden. If you kill me, there will be nothing left."

Josi's gaze became eager, and he said, "Really? Then take us there!"

The leader of the wolf man shook his head again, and said, "You have to promise to spare me first, and swear to the God of the Wilderness."

"Okay, I promise you." After speaking, Joss wanted to raise his hand to swear.

At this time, the two Louis brothers looked at each other, and stopped them together: "It's up to the lord to decide whether to let him go or not. We just take him to the lord."

Jos waved his hand disapprovingly, and said with a smile: "The lord wants nothing more than treasure. Don't worry, I am the commander-in-chief of this operation, and I will be responsible for everything."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and swore: "I, Jos Brooke, swear to the god of the wilderness, as long as this leader of the gnolls surrenders his privately hidden treasure, I will let him live."

After taking the oath, he stepped forward and said, "Can you take us there?"

The leader of the jackals shook his head again, pointed at the two brothers Louis and said, "The two of them haven't sworn yet."

The two Louis brothers hesitated and glanced at Jos.

Jos said in a deep voice: "The lord once said that everything on the battlefield is decided and responsible by me, the commander-in-chief. You can do as he said, I have my own discretion."

Hearing this, the two brothers glanced at each other, and had to swear as well.

"Okay, you can take us there." Joss said to the leader of the wolf man.

"Okay." The wolf man leader nodded.

He put away the knife, took several deep breaths, and after relieving his fatigue, he turned and walked forward.

Before taking two steps, Yale stepped forward suddenly, and slashed the wolf leader's right wrist with a sword, and then slashed at his left wrist with another sword.

The leader of the jackals turned his back to Yale, and caught off guard, the sword fell, and blood flowed from his hands and wrists.

He covered the wound with his hands, and looked at Yale with a painful expression on his face.

"You are too strong, I have to make sure that you will not attack us suddenly." Yale said coldly.

"You underestimate the reputation of the wolf man!" the leader of the wolf man said viciously.

"The reputation of the wolf man?" Ivan sneered and said, "I really laughed my big teeth off."

Then, he stepped forward and put the straight sword in his hand on the shoulder of the wolf leader.began to absorb his physical strength.

After a while, the leader of the wolf man was sweating profusely, with a dispirited look on his face.

Seeing that the majestic jackal in front of them had no power to resist, the two brothers felt relieved and signaled the jackal to continue leading the way.

The Jackal man had no choice but to drag his tired body and lead the three of them towards the southeast without stopping.

After walking for a long time, they finally came to a place of ruins.

"It used to be called Stone Puppet South Village, but now all the people in it are dead. I buried the treasure under the largest wooden house in the east of the village."

The three of them looked at the ruins. The walls of the house had collapsed, covered with vines, and it was desolate.Obviously there is no trace of human habitation.

Under some broken purlins, many human skulls were half exposed on the soil, and they all looked rotten.Each of these bones had obvious sharp damage, and was obviously killed by a sword.

"Did you kill the people in these villages?" Ivan asked.

The leader of the jackals sneered and said, "It's a masterpiece of you humans. We jackals still rely on you humans to grow food, and we have never had the habit of massacring villages."

As he spoke, he led the three people to continue walking until they came to the back of a collapsed wooden house.

The leader of the wolf man pointed to a mound of earth and said, "My treasures are all buried there. My hands are injured now and I can't dig them out. Go get them yourself."

Jos glanced at the two brothers and motioned them to look at the jackal.Holding the big knife of the wolf man, he stepped forward and started to goug the dirt.

After a while, he dug out a big hole in the mound of soil.

Jos stretched half his body into the big pit, and took out a long box wrapped in iron sheet from it.

With anticipation, he cut off the lock of the box with a knife, and then lifted the lid.

All of a sudden, golden light radiated from the box, shining so hard that Jos's eyes couldn't be opened.

"So many gold bricks?" The two Louis brothers were stunned for a moment.

Jos stared at the gold bricks that took up almost half of the space in the box, his eyes straightened.

A gold coin of the Clay Kingdom is made of pure gold, with a mass of about 4.5 grams and a diameter of about 2 centimeters.

Joss estimated the weight of the box. There was at least 10 kilograms of gold in it, which could make more than 2000 gold coins.

What is the concept of more than 2000 gold coins? Jos can't even think of it.

Immediately, he saw that there seemed to be a weapon hidden under the gold.

He squinted his eyes slightly, and realized at a glance that it was a magic weapon.From shape to length, it is almost exactly the same as the blue frost sword commonly used by the lord.

The only difference is that the lord's sword is cyan, and this sword is azure blue.

A high-quality magic weapon?
Qiao Si stood there in a daze, his heart beating wildly.

He has been researching magic-related things since the lord said that they could try to be promoted to French knights.

He knew very well in his heart what a high-quality magic weapon meant.

Speaking of which, the lord is relying on the Qingshuang sword to reach the level he is today.

Now, the same weapon that could change fate appeared in front of him.

'Since the lord can do it, can I do it too? '

Jos suddenly had an unprecedented thought.

He suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and was about to observe carefully, but saw Yale walking towards this side, and asked, "Commander Joss, besides gold bricks, what else is there?"

Jos immediately closed the box, stood up, and said with a smile to Yale: "These belong to the lord. It's not suitable for us to look at them."

Yale stopped in his tracks and said with a smile on his face, "That's right."

Jos nodded, walked up to the jackal man, and asked him, "Where did you get this?"

The leader of the gnolls replied honestly: "Six years ago, I killed a French knight and got it from him. Because it was very valuable, I was afraid of being retaliated by that knight family, so I didn't take it out, thinking about waiting Let’s talk about it in a few years. Who would have thought that you would be killed by you today”

He was rambling on, but before he finished speaking, he saw Jos suddenly strike and slash the neck of the leader of the jackals.

In an instant, the huge head of the wolf man flew out, and the blood immediately rose high and sprinkled in the soil.

The head fell to the ground and rolled several times, covered with mud, and the mouth was still opening and closing.

"With this strength, you have broken through the third level?" Yale suddenly asked in surprise.

He thought to himself that this Josi had such a talent, it seemed that it took a year to go from the second level to the third level.No wonder the lord is so highly regarded!
Ivan didn't focus on this, he looked at Jos with some dissatisfaction, and said, "Captain Jos, you have already sworn to the God of the Wilderness to spare his life, why do you want to do it?"

Jos shook his head and said with a smile: "The lord doesn't believe in the God of the Wilderness, so why should I believe in it?"

As he spoke, he stepped forward, tore off the clothes of the wolf man leader, wrapped his head up, and hung it around his waist.

After fixing the jackal's head, he triumphantly walked to the box, slightly opened the lid of the box, and took out three gold bricks inside.

He put one of them in his arms, and threw the remaining two to the Louis brothers.

Ivan and Yale subconsciously took over the gold bricks, a little confused.

Joss smiled and explained: "Although the lord will reward us in the future, he is a common reward for the entire knight group. Since the three of us discovered this box, there must be some extra benefits. Don't you think so? "

Hearing this sentence, Ivan took a step forward and was about to argue.

But Yale stopped him with his hand, stuffed the gold brick into his arms and said, "Leader, I think what you said makes sense. Since it is the credit of the three of us, there is nothing wrong with doing this."

Ivan didn't know what Yale was doing, so he nodded in a daze and stopped talking.

Seeing that he moved the two brothers, Josi was very happy.

Since ancient times, wealth has moved people's hearts.A gold brick is 500 grams, almost worth a hundred gold coins.He didn't believe that the Louis brothers were not moved.

As long as the two brothers took the gold bricks, they would be in the same boat as themselves.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.He found vines nearby, tied up the box, held it in his arms, and beckoned the two to leave with him.

On the way back, the two brothers pretended to rush to the battlefield as soon as possible, deliberately running fast.Jos wished that the two of them would get away quickly so that he could take out the magic long sword hidden in the box, so the three of them moved further and further apart in front of each other.

Seeing that Jos had fallen far enough, Ivan said softly to Yale: "Brother, how can you accept the gold bricks he gave? This is disloyalty to the lord!"

Yale said softly, "I see something in the box."

"What is it?" Ivan was stunned for a moment and asked softly.

Yale shook his head slightly, and whispered: "I didn't see it clearly, but it must be a good thing. Joss probably wants to keep it all to himself, so he blocked our mouths with gold bricks. If we don't accept it, it will arouse his suspicion, maybe They will frame us against the lord."

"Then what should we do?" Ivan wondered what was in it that made Joss so bold?
"It's better to hand over the gold bricks to the lord directly." Yale said in a deep voice: "However, we have to wait until after the triumph."

Ivan thought for a while, and said with some concern: "Joss has been in the manor longer than us, and has a deeper relationship with the lord. Will the lord believe us? What if Jos bites back?"

Yale frowned slightly, and he was also very worried about this.After all, only his two brothers and Josi knew about this matter.Even if I report it myself, there is not enough evidence.

At that time, as the head of the Knights, Jos would be very passive with his brothers.

After all, they always felt that the lord would trust Jos more.

After all, the two are outsiders in the manor, and from the bottom of their hearts, they feel that they are not as close to the lord as Jos.

When the two brothers encountered such a thing, they hated Jos very much in their hearts.But he was a little afraid of his weight with the lord.

After thinking about it for a long time, Yale gave up his heart and said, "No matter. We still have to report on Joss and hand over the gold bricks. Otherwise, we are ashamed of the lord."

"That's true!" Ivan nodded, and said, "Anyway, this life is given by the lord. We two brothers only need to have a clear conscience."
