I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Chapter 87 Knight of Justice [Please vote]

In fact, Xu Siling knew very well that with his master-level sword fighting skills, he had surpassed many elite soldiers. With the same armor and equipment, it would be difficult for him to lose.

These three specialized talents are the icing on the cake.

As far as protection is concerned, the sword and shield are definitely better. If there is going to be a battlefield or siege in the future, the sword and shield can protect yourself better.

Thinking of the possibility of participating in a large-scale war in the future, Xu Siling finally put the sword and shield aside silently.

The reason is simple. Although France is still at war with England, the war between the two sides has actually stopped due to the Black Death.

According to the information he knew, after the Black Death ravaged Europe, the two sides ceased war for ten years.

So he was thinking that now that he was a knight, the main thing he had to do now was to build his own manor, then arm his own troops, and be fully prepared for the sudden changes in war that would occur in the future.

During the truce for so many years, he could not imagine that he would be involved in any large-scale war or siege.

Compared with other towns, the current situation of Raya Town could not be better.

Although there are still many things that are not satisfactory, there is no harm if there is no comparison.

Under the influence of the Black Death, people in other towns fled to death. Those like Tamubao, which had been informed of the blockade in advance, seemed to have taken protective measures, but they could not last for many days.

Therefore, based on the current situation in Raya Town, it is unlikely that any war will break out.

The possible problems are all the robbers and thieves around. If you really want to eliminate them, even if you don't have sword and shield specialization, there won't be any problems at all.

Moreover, his reconnaissance skills have reached the elite level. His perception of the environment and the investigation of the marching path are becoming increasingly clear.

Even if someone wanted to sneak attack him, he would be the first to notice something strange.

Therefore, Xu Siling did not put his talent for sword and shield specialization first. He believed that the years during the truce would be enough for him to hone his sword fighting skills and bring them to a higher level.

Maybe there will be bigger surprises in the next level of sword fighting skills.

Sword and shield are standard equipment for bastards, so let’s not consider them for now.

As for dual wielding or two-handed?
This is what makes Xu Siling confused.

His reason told him that he should choose to specialize with both hands to increase his attack power and destructive power. As the saying goes, great strength can work wonders. Under the current situation where he only had plate chain armor and chain mail robes, he shouldered his two-handed sword and charged into the formation, ensuring that Gaga chopped a piece randomly.

The two types of attack and destruction can be enhanced through daily training and weapons. It is not necessary to click on this two-handed specialization.

On the contrary, the attack speed included in the dual-wielding specialization made Xu Siling a little excited.

It is not easy to break through the upper limit of your own attack frequency. Even if you keep training, the attack frequency of the same weapon will not increase particularly high.

Although dual-wielding is not weak, in terms of protection and stance, it is stronger than the two-handed sword, and in terms of attack and damage, it is stronger than the sword and shield.
But if you compare it the other way around, it seems stupid.

But things like upper limits are often extremely tempting.

After thinking for a moment again, Xu Siling chose [Dual Wield Specialization] among the three talents.

After getting rid of the tangled problem, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the weapon and lay down on the bed to rest.

The next day.

Vali, who was still in a daze, didn't know when Xu Siling came back. When he got up, he was pulled by Luo Shui to have breakfast, saying that he would be busy with something later.

Vali asked what was going on, but Luo Shui couldn't say anything, causing Vali to quarrel with Luo Shui again.

Xu Siling put on his chainmail robe, arranged his weapons, and pushed out the door.

He should have had two apprentices help him put on the armor, it would have been much easier.

But Xu Siling doesn't want to enjoy it in this aspect.

After eating some food, Xu Siling took Vali and Luo Shui on horseback to the first camp they attacked yesterday.

The two guys didn't sleep a wink all night when they saw the blood splattering everywhere and the robber lying on the ground with a leaky throat.

Plus a stew of skulls that's about to turn into a pot of rotten meat.

Vali almost couldn't bear it, but fortunately Luo Shui had been mentally prepared, especially the mess of cleaning up corpses, he knew it very well.

There are not many valuable things in the bandit camp, but the equipment on them is valuable.

Luo Shui even found two exquisite gemstone rings on a certain robber, and he smiled happily.

After cleaning the entire bandit camp, Xu Siling took them to the next bandit camp.

This time the loot was much richer.

All kinds of weapons and equipment, plus private collections of wine and gems, although not of high quality, are already worth a lot of money.

But what made Vali and Luo Shui's hearts tremble was.

There were only six corpses in the previous camp, and two were beheaded. With the skill of a knight, it was not difficult to do this.

But now in this camp, there are a total of eighteen corpses, most of which were beheaded!

Are you sure this can be done by one person?

The two of them had some suspicions. Maybe Xu Siling hired someone else at night, but it seemed unlikely.

If this camp with eighteen bandits was really captured by Xu Siling, it would be terrible.

While the two were happily cleaning the trophies, they admired Xu Siling's sword fighting skills even more.

After cleaning up, Xu Siling was looking at the map and thinking, and Luo Shui came over to ask.

"Lord Siling, what are we going to do now?"

"Find a place first and sell these things if you can."

Xu Siling knew very well that the Black Death swept through the Kingdom of France, killing too many people, and the shortage of labor led to rapid inflation. King Philip VI, a little idiot, also tried to stabilize prices. His actions made France even worse. More unstable.

While the money is still valuable now, it is best to sell it quickly and exchange it for hard currency.

"And then what?"

Luo Shui's eyes were bright, as if he was expecting something.

"What's wrong."

"When will Lord Siling be ready to clear out the bandit camp? When the time comes, please take me with you."

Luo Shui blushed when he heard this, "Good guy, I told you to take care of me, but I want to secretly follow Xu Siling to fight the robbers."

"And I!"

Xu Siling shook his head: "This kind of thing is fatal. I don't want anything to happen to you. I won't take you with me if I'm not sure."

Luo Shui scratched his head in frustration.

"Then Lord Siling, why do you suddenly want to clear out these bandit camps? After all, it is still very dangerous for you to do this kind of thing alone. If you still have plans to clear out the bandit camps, why don't you go back to Raya Town and take my father away?" They all shouted, this is safer. "You Frofen family moved to Raya Town to steal my head, I have tolerated you.

Now I secretly come out to fight monsters to gain skills and experience, and you want them to come over and grab me?

Excessive.

But Xu Siling still understood that Luo Shui only cared about him, so he smiled and touched his head.

"It's okay, I can handle these people alone."

Vali's eyes were starry: "Master Si Ling cleared the camp, it must be for justice!"

Xu Siling was stunned for a moment and then laughed: "Of course it is for justice. Now that Miss Raya wants to expand Raya Town, she needs a lot of outsiders. When these bandits learned that we were taking in asylum seekers, they robbed and killed people on the main roads. They have affected the development of Raya Town, so of course they must be paid off."

After chatting with the two little guys for a while, Xu Siling took them off.

He rushed to a miller's house that Xu Siling was familiar with and sold part of the loot to the miller, too much for him to eat alone.

In the past, because Xu Siling was still an executioner, several millers often lowered their prices. Now that they learned that Xu Siling became a knight, they offered higher prices, as if to please him.

After going through several mills to empty out the loot, Xu Siling took Luo Shui and Vali to the next destination.

The goal is very clear, which is to catch all the forest bandits in one fell swoop!
At some point, it started to rain.

The rain didn't last long, showing a beautiful rainbow.

Time flies like the dissipation of a rainbow, fleeting.

Six days passed.

Xu Siling took Luo Shui and Vali on their way back to Raya Town.

The horses were carrying loads of loot on their backs. Luo Shui and Vali were naturally satisfied with their journey. Except for not being able to kill the bandits with Xu Siling, everything else was going well.

Xu Siling, who had not taken care of himself for many days, also grew a beard. He was riding on the horse, stroking his beard and feeling a little emotional.

The territory of Raya Town is not small, and it is impossible to clear out all the bandit camps in six days.

Unfortunately, there is no airtight wall.

He killed everyone in every bandit camp and did not let any bandits escape. This was to prevent the news that he had cleared the bandits from spreading.

But there are some connections between the bandit camps. In addition, some people who flee will choose to take the mountain trails, and they will always find empty camps full of traces of dried blood.

This is actually nothing, and it does not prove that this incident is directly related to Xu Siling.

But Xu Siling is a knight. No matter where he appears, he is always a major focus of people's attention.

I don’t know when, everyone discovered a strange phenomenon.

Wherever Xu Siling appeared, the robbers in that area seemed to have disappeared, and there was no movement, as if they had never appeared.

Thinking back to the bandit camps that were found empty one after another, the news that the knights in Raya Town had cleared the bandits spread like wildfire.

As a result, the bandits from all over Raya Town were all afraid to move and hide.

Some hid in the mountains, while others fled the town of Raya.

Anyway, the security in Raya Town has improved.

During this period, there were also some robbers who were arrogant and thought that relying on their large numbers, they could deal with Xu Siling as a knight.

But such conceited thoughts come at the price of death.

After six days of continuous clearing, the harvest was not small, but Xu Siling felt that he had not killed enough.

After all, he was a knight, and he was so eye-catching that all the robbers ran away.

Anyway, these days, the people in Raya Territory privately praise Xu Siling as the 'Knight of Justice'.

Because Miss Raya had not issued any order to capture the robbers, Xu Siling's capture of the robbers was obviously a spontaneous act, which was very popular with the people of Raya.

Gradually, everyone began to ignore the fact that Xu Siling was still the executioner.

Even those who were seeking refuge from other places felt more favorable towards Raya Town when they heard that Xu Siling had cleared out all the bandits on the main roads and that everyone could travel safely.

Because these people who took refuge had experienced the tragedy of the Black Death outside, they passed many castles and towns on the way, which were either empty cities or had been blocked to prevent entry and exit.

Most of the foreigners who take refuge in Raya Town are trying to give it a try.

Because the Black Death is so terrible that it can destroy any castle. If Raya Town takes in so many people, is it not afraid of the spread of the Black Death?

But the fact is that Raya Town has indeed stood firm.

Coupled with the fact that Xu Siling spontaneously eliminated the bandits in the forest, making the roads smooth and no longer dangerous, these outsiders who took refuge began to give Laya Town a try and turned into yearning for it.

The fact that Mayfair was inspired by God was only spread in a small area in Raya Town. Without the recognition of the Holy See, Mayfair did not dare to publicize it.

But the outsiders and the people of Raya who were rushing to Raya Town knew about this and thought of Fei'er canonizing Xu Siling as a knight.

Everyone subconsciously thinks that Xu Siling's being canonized as a knight has something to do with God?
Is Xu Siling becoming a knight a revelation from God?
Subconscious thoughts coupled with Xu Siling's actions made everyone think of this 'Knight of Justice' even more.

Xu Siling smiled inwardly and didn't pay much attention to this title.

But Luo Shui and Vali were very happy.

The more famous Xu Siling becomes, the more they will benefit as knight apprentices.

Under Luo Shui's daily influence, Vali gave up the idea of ​​just hanging around Xu Siling at first, and completely became Xu Siling's little fanboy.

The two figures followed Xu Siling as if they were worshiping idols.

The three of them were out for many days and finally returned to Raya Town.

Set foot on a familiar yet unfamiliar hillside road.

Xu Siling looked around.

Roads were cleared of underbrush and some trees were even uprooted.

The people of the Fulofen family were really determined to follow Xu Siling, and even the roads were simply paved with stones.

Seeing this, Xu Siling was amazed.

As we walked deeper, we saw several half-built 'mixed houses'.

The executioner's family was in better condition and did not plan to use wood as a fence. Instead, the fence was built with stones and special mixed soil.

Xu Siling was quite satisfied with the arrangement of the Frofen family.

Luo Shui was more excited than anyone else when he was about to arrive home.

These days, he has been teaching Wally how to ride a horse, and Wally has barely learned a bit.

Throwing the reins to Vali, he dismounted and ran towards the hillside, shouting when he saw an acquaintance.

"Lord Siling is back!"

When the people on the hillside heard Luo Shui's words, they all stopped what they were doing and came out to greet their Lord Knight.
