Chapter 260 Rage (Two chapters in one)

Sword Bearer Division.

On the second floor of the training building, in the combat power test room.

Ryan looked at the deep sword marks on the metal block in front of him, and glanced at the value 32 displayed on the side, with a thoughtful look on his face.

32 degrees?

Yes, the secret derived from his giant bear swordsmanship is actually a rare sound wave secret.

If he does not use the intermediate secret 'Roaring War Cry', but directly uses the lv13 giant bear swordsmanship, the current 32 degrees of attack power is actually not small.

But

there is a way to add it.

Ryan recited the spell of another metal-based witchcraft 'Sharpness'.

Soon, the surface of the two-handed sword transformed by hardened adamantium suddenly lit up with a mercury-like halo.

Then, Ryan's muscles swelled, and he swung the sword again, slashing at the test metal block with great force!

"Sizzle!!!"

This time the power was obviously stronger than the last time. The tip of the two-handed sword was completely immersed in the originally flat metal surface.

On the wisdom slate next to it, two big words were instantly refreshed: 35!

This time, Ryan smiled.

It seems that for sharp weapons, the power of attack can be increased by adding the sharpness technique.

Although the increase is not large, only about 10%, but when it comes to the attack power of the great knight, every degree of increase means sweat and time invested in extraordinary combat skills.

The crowd watching, "clatter", there was an uproar!

Obviously, everyone was surprised by the power of Ryan's sword just now.

"This is comparable to the hammer of the Bull Skorda just now, right?"

"Have you seen this young man? I have been in the Sword Bearer Munster branch for three years and have never seen him. Could he be from another provincial branch?"

"It is unlikely. Attacks have broken out in many parts of the empire now. How could other provinces dispatch such masters?"

"Yes, even if there has been no attack, they must be making preparations now. It would be great if they can send a few people here to go through the formalities."

"Could it be that they are sent by the Imperial Capital Headquarters?"

Everyone was amazed at the power of Ryan's attack and speculated about Ryan's origins.

"Fuck! So powerful!" The young man couldn't help but swear and said in amazement.

"Captain, this attack power has caught up with you!"

"But, the other party just used the metal-based sharpness technique to bless it, right?"

Skorda nodded, his face serious.

He thought he had understood why the affairs officer of the mission hall attached so much importance to Ryan.

Indeed, he looks so young, but his strength is so strong. The most important thing is that he has the rare qualification of a metal wizard, and with his extraordinary combat skills, he has a wide range of attack methods.

If this young man performs tasks, he is a real all-rounder who can perform multiple tasks, which is much more suitable than ordinary sword holders.

The only pity is that he should not have mastered the secrets of the two-handed sword.

Otherwise, he would not use the sharpness technique to improve his combat effectiveness.

You know, in the close combat of the great knight, the situation changes rapidly, how could he give the other party the opportunity to calmly perform witchcraft.

"I think he should go upstairs for the test."

"Using witchcraft means to bless, this is no longer the pure knight path we pursue." The young man said with a little sourness.

The other party looks much younger than him, but his attack power is far better than him.

However, Ryan did not care about what everyone said, but continued to use metal transformation. It took him twenty seconds to turn the two-handed sword in his hand into a two-handed war hammer.

Just when everyone thought that Ryan had finished the test, they saw that the weapon in Ryan's hand had turned into a two-handed warhammer.

At this time, the young man next to Skorda suddenly remembered something!

Pointing at Ryan, he said in shock: "Captain, could he be the one?"

But he hadn't finished speaking yet!

"Bang!!!"

A loud noise almost shook the entire test room!

A large hole with a diameter of about one meter appeared on the cross section of the two-meter-diameter metal block, and the depth was 70 to 80 centimeters. In addition, the metal block weighing several tons was hit on the slide rail and almost moved horizontally to the limit of the spring!

On the wisdom stone slab next to it, a damage value of up to 47 degrees was displayed!

Suddenly, the whole audience was silent!

The only sound was the spring device installed behind the metal block, which made a slight hissing sound of rebound.

The metal block weighing several tons was now doing reciprocating motion on the slide rail with an increasingly smaller amplitude, and gradually returned to calm.

Everyone present, including Skorda, looked like they had seen a ghost, with their eyes wide open and their mouths wide open!

"He is the Mayster Battering Ram!" After a few seconds, the young man completed the words that he had just interrupted.

But at this moment, the young man no longer needed to say it, because many people present had already made the connection.

The fact that a newcomer knocked down the obsidian giant with one hammer during the assessment was widely spread in the Munster Sword Bearers branch, and almost most of the sword bearers knew about it.

It's just that Ryan had either used a dagger, an axe, or a two-handed sword before, so the people present didn't associate the young man in front of them with the 'Mayster Battering Ram'.

But now, it's even more powerful than a battering ram!

"Fuck! There is such a monster among the newcomers?"

"Fuck 47 degrees?"

"The test device is broken!"

"Yes, this is beyond the upper limit of the great knight's attack power."

"Why do I feel that his hammer is more powerful than the captain of the Rock Team, Batista?"

"Indeed! It seems to be even stronger! I remember very clearly that the last time Batista hit with all his strength, it seemed to be only 45 degrees." The sword holder who spoke recalled it, his face became serious, and said.

"."

The young man thought the rumor was a bit exaggerated, but he didn't expect it to be weak.

This, the two obsidian giants can't stand this hammer!

The bull Skorda was a little dazed at this time. It turned out that all his guesses just now were wrong!

What did you mean by not comprehending the secret!

This is the high-level secret!

If it's not a high-level secret? He would never believe that the attack power can reach this level!

No wonder the deputy affairs officer Olena and the affairs officer Yumaz of the mission hall attach so much importance to this young man.

There is no way not to pay attention to him!

It's because of his strength!

Seeing that Ryan had finished the test, many sword holders came forward to greet him, and they were all friendly.

For Ryan, who is obviously a potential stock, no, he is already a blue chip stock!

Any normal person would want to make friends with him, and the Sword Bearers are no exception.

The enthusiasm of the old Sword Bearers surprised Ryan for a moment.

But thinking about it, it is also normal.

After a round of greetings, Ryan learned a lot of common sense.

These common senses were supposed to be introduced to this group of newcomers by the instructors in the general education course this month, but because of this sudden attack across the entire province, the original plan of the Sword Bearers branch was disrupted.

"Sir Ryan, degree is a unit of measurement. Simply put, the attack power caused by a trained and strong human soldier with all his strength is one degree."

"Generally speaking, the attack power of a formal knight is about 5 to 15 degrees, and that of a great knight is generally between 15 and 30." The young man standing next to the Bull Skorda, who had been quite disdainful of Ryan before, was now smiling and introducing enthusiastically.

Ryan nodded. At this moment, he suddenly thought of a question, so he asked, "What about wizards? Is there also a measurement of attack power?"

"Of course, but the attack power of formal wizards varies greatly. If a general formal wizard casts a first-level attack spell, the power can reach more than 30 degrees."

However, the young man thought about it and added,

"But in many cases, the wizard's attack methods are more strange and diverse, such as curses, guided spells, etc. If you calculate the instantaneous attack power, the power is not very strong, but it is extremely difficult to deal with."

After listening, Ryan nodded again. It was indeed the case.

He was deeply touched by this.

"Sir Ryan, you are from Meister, right? Recently, our team just came back from a mission in Meister County. This time, the local losses were heavy." A sword holder seemed to associate Ryan with Meister from the nickname, and said in a friendly way.

"That's right. I went to the town of Shining Gold. It was too miserable. There were almost no living people in the whole town!"

"What!" Ryan froze and said in a lost voice.

Almost no living people?

He had always thought that the attack on Goldshire Town was just as serious as the last attack by the Black Flame Cult, with at most a hundred casualties.

Now, from the tone of the sword bearer, it was much more serious!

Originally, he was planning to go back to Goldshire Town in two days and visit the injured Earl Habsburg in the county town.

In an instant, the familiar and vivid faces in Goldshire Town flashed in Ryan's mind like slides, including his best friend George, Sheriff Hamilton, old Night Watch Captain Willen, and Aunt Sima.

"Sir Ryan, is there anyone you know in Goldshire Town?" The sword bearer on the side saw Ryan's shocked expression and couldn't help but ask with concern.

Although they knew Ryan was from Mayest County, they didn't know that Ryan happened to be from Goldshire Town.

Ryan came back to his senses at this time, nodded with an unpleasant expression, looked around, and said to everyone:

"Sorry, everyone, let's talk next time."

"Okay, Lord Ryan."

"It seems that Lord Ryan should have relatives in Shimmering Gold Town." Many people looked at Ryan's figure walking away quickly and said.

After a while, Ryan returned to his room, took the skull warhammer, and walked quickly towards the gate of the Sword Bearer branch. He planned to go to the villa that Jenny bought nearby.

He just thought of his family.

Although there were elite cavalry guards sent by Javier, Ryan felt that it was not so safe when he thought of the tragic situation in Shimmering Gold Town he had just heard. He planned to pick up his family in person. Coincidentally

, Ryan had just walked out of the gate of the Sword Bearer branch when a familiar figure hurried over. It was the short man Matteo.

This made Ryan's heart skip a beat.

Could it be that...

"Lord Ryan, your parents, sister, and Baroness Crawley have just arrived in Munster." Matteo naturally saw Ryan just walking out of the door, and his face lit up, and he walked up quickly and said.

Hearing this news, Ryan was relieved.

"Well, we'll go there right away. By the way, Matteo, has Miss Jenny found a new place to live?" Ryan asked as he walked. He

had told Jenny about this matter before he left Munster last time.

"No, Miss Jenny and Miss Agatha have been to many places these two days, but they haven't found a suitable place to live. I heard that recently, many wealthy businessmen and nobles have come to Munster from other counties, and they are all flocking to Munster to buy houses."

"In the past few days, even the housing prices in the civilian areas of Munster have been raised by at least 30%, and they are still rising. The villas in the noble areas and administrative areas are almost all snapped up, and the prices have risen by at least 50%."

Matteo briefly talked to Ryan about the recent fluctuations in Munster's housing prices.

Ryan nodded.

It seems that the situation in the local area has become unstable with this attack.

Those who are capable have come to Munster to buy properties.

When Ryan and Matteo arrived at the villa, they saw servants moving things in and out before they entered the door.

Seeing Ryan's arrival, mother Emma and father old Ryan were excited.

"Brother!" Sister Mint has obviously grown a lot taller. After seeing Ryan, she was still teasing "Cookie" and rushed into her brother's arms.

The beautiful woman Jennifer was still radiant, but at this time, it was not appropriate for her to go forward and tell Ryan her true feelings. She could only gaze at Ryan with her big watery eyes.

"By the way, Ryan, do you know that something happened in Shining Gold Town? It is said that even the sheriff was killed by the cult!" Mother Emma had a lingering fear on her face.

"Fortunately, you asked us to move to the county town at that time, otherwise..."

Hearing this news, the short man Matteo on the side froze all over and couldn't help but said in a lost voice: "Aunt Emma, ​​you just said that Lord Hamilton..."

"Yes, this matter can be confirmed. Lord Hamilton unfortunately died." The beautiful woman Jennifer stepped forward and said affirmatively.

Matteo naturally knew that the Baroness Crowley in front of him controlled the Hammer and Rose Chamber of Commerce. With the care of Lord Ryan, even if she was not very popular in Mayist, she had a wide network of contacts and was well-informed.

Matteo, who got the accurate information, was a little absent-minded for a while, but then he felt a little fortunate.

Fortunately, his family had moved to the county town with him.

At this time, the beautiful woman Jennifer hesitated and turned to Ryan and said, "Baron Ryan, here is a letter that has been handed over to me. It seems to be from a friend of yours."

"Huh?" Ryan looked puzzled and took the letter handed to him by the beautiful woman.

To be precise, this is not a letter, but just a piece of paper, and it is a dirty and slightly damaged piece of paper.

The handwriting on it is very sloppy, as if it was written in a panic.

There are a few drops of dark red blood on the light yellow paper.

It reads:

"Ryan, I am George. At this moment, I am very scared. My eyes, nose and ears are bleeding, and so is my father. I know we are all dying."

"You are the most powerful person I know and my best friend."

"Help."

The content of the letter disappeared after the last two words - 'Help'.

It's George!

Suddenly, Ryan felt very heavy!

Because of his original body, George can be regarded as his first friend in this world!

George, we are not the best friends in the past, but the best friends all the time, Ryan said silently in his heart.

Black Flame Church!

You bunch of bastards, just wait and see!

At this moment, Ryan's anger was greater than his grief, and it seemed as if there was a fire burning in his chest!

However, as a member of the Imperial Sword Bearer, he could not act at will.

After calming down, Ryan planned to go back to the Sword Bearer Branch and visit the mission hall to see if there were any missions related to the Black Flame Cult in Mayster County.

If there were, he would take it!

Before leaving, Ryan told the beautiful woman Jennifer a few words.

"Father, mother, I'm going to the Sword Bearer Branch and will be back before dinner." Ryan said hello to his mother Emma and his father Old Ryan.

At the same time.

In the sky, the imperial capital flew to a large airship in Munster.

A girl wearing a noble hunting suit and carrying a two-handed sword was overlooking the scenery in the distance from high above.

The hunting suit that fits the girl's skin tightly outlines her beautiful figure, especially her tight buttocks and round and elastic thighs, which are extremely eye-catching.

From the front, the girl has a beautiful oval face, but not the kind of soft and beautiful one. The slightly thick eyebrows and the shape of carrying a big sword give people the overall feeling that she looks quite heroic!

In just over ten minutes, four or five nobles who were also on the airship came to chat with her. One of them was an old earl in his fifties.

This made the girl frown slightly and feel annoyed!

Soon, she returned to her cabin.

In the cabin, a middle-aged woman dressed as a maid was already there. When she saw the girl come in, she stood up respectfully and said, "Ms. Claire, the earl asked you not to go back to Meister."

"But you..."

Claire waved her hand and said, "Shadya, the Imperial Royal Academy will be on spring break soon. Besides, my father is seriously injured, and I can't not come back."

"Besides, I heard in the imperial capital that the current situation in the province of Munster is somewhat turbulent. And as the family's fiefdom for hundreds of years, the situation in Meester is even worse this time.

"By the way, didn't father say before that he would summon his old subordinates? How is it now?"

"Well...Except for Viscount Brissot who sent two top knights, the other adults only symbolically sent one or two newly promoted official knights or a team of cavalry. "In response to Claire's question, Shadiya said with a grim expression.

A month ago, Shadiya was transferred from Habsburg Manor to the Earl's Mansion in Meister County.

When the attack occurred a few days ago, Earl Habsburg was seriously injured, and she was arranged to take the military airship immediately to the imperial capital to contact Claire and ask her not to return to Meister for the time being.

Regarding the current situation of Meister County, most of Earl Habsburg's former subordinates or friendly noble families believe that there is no value in saving it.

The cult attack, the invasion of the sea tribe, the current situation of Meister, It is no longer possible for a count's family to turn the tide.

It is unwise to continue to invest manpower, material and financial resources.

The best option is to withdraw part of the Habsburg family's industries and personnel.

It is not that Count Habsburg has not considered hiring mercenaries, but because the mercenary groups in Munster are of varying quality, it is difficult to guarantee that there are no cultists lurking among them.

And those famous mercenary groups with a good reputation already have employers in the turbulent situation.

Xia Diya thought for a while, and asked casually: "Miss, is there any possibility for those people who are pursuing you in the imperial capital?"

"They all want a marriage, and I don't want to tie myself down so soon, but if there is really no choice, we'll talk about it later. "Claire waved her hand and said.

Faced with the predicament faced by the Habsburg family at this time, Claire, the talented female knight of Meister, also frowned and was at a loss.

Although she had only studied in the Imperial Royal Academy for about half a year, her strength has improved rapidly, from a senior knight when she first went there half a year ago to a peak knight now.

With this speed of improvement, even in the Dragun Imperial Royal Academy, which is full of geniuses, she can be ranked among the top.

In addition, Claire's own appearance and figure are first-class. Although her origin as a local hereditary earl is a minus point in the Royal Academy, in general, Claire has many suitors, including the sons of dukes and the legitimate sons of marquises.

But Claire is not very interested in any of them.

Her yearning for the path of knighthood is far better than marrying a son of a great noble.

"By the way, Miss, why don't you find that Sir Ryan." Shadya added the word "Sir" appropriately.

"Ryan? "Claire couldn't help but think of the thin figure she had taught sword skills to in the Habsburg Manor.

She hadn't seen this man, Ryan, who should be considered her follower, for more than half a year.

The last time she heard the news, he became a formal knight, which surprised her!

Later, she heard that Ryan passed the imperial canonization assessment and became a baron!

The latest news was a letter from her father, Count Habsburg, saying that Ryan was already a top knight and successfully joined the Imperial Sword Bearers, which surprised her!

In more than half a year, an ordinary farm boy became a top knight like her?

Goddess!

But Claire knew very well that there was no loyalty ceremony between her and Ryan, even in any form.

At that time, she never thought that the boy she was just a little optimistic about would have such amazing talent!

This made her at this moment completely unsure that she could ask Ryan for help, although she was considered Ryan's enlightenment teacher on the road to knighthood.

What's more, a top knight is better than nothing for the current difficulties faced by the family, and it is just a drop in the bucket.

"I heard last time that he joined the Sword Bearers?" Claire hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Yes, Miss."

"Then go and meet him when you get to Munster. It would be good if you can get another peak knight to help you." Claire sighed softly and said.
