"I come from a traditional family in the northern continent, the daughter of a squire and also the wife of a squire.

I had been through thick and thin with my husband, and was his business partner, but he died of a plague.

At that time, I had no children, so I had no heirs. My husband wanted me to inherit the property, but my brother-in-law bribed those treacherous servants!

I let him take my place, so I fled and came here to Calradia, hoping to make enough money to raise an army and take back what is mine."

De La Serre watched all this, and was furious: "You actually found NPC Matilde again!?"

[System prompt: It's fine to leave it to him. You already have Dragon Girl Safiya, Queen Ronnie, Valkyrie Tianyan, Snake Spirit Ruoshui, etc. If you have one more woman, you will be in trouble.]

"I can give you a chance to make a fortune through fighting and plundering." Walls decided to recruit this female warrior. This woman was much stronger than the new recruits and was also a veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time.

Mathilde looked at the young man. At this time, Wales was wearing casual clothes and had a one-handed sword on his waist. This was given to Wales by Kaiser. Wales gave the rusty sword to Jenks before.

But this is not the reason why Wals attracted Mathilde. The real reason is the temperament that Wals exudes.

This kind of temperament can only be possessed by those who have experienced the battlefield. Although the feeling is very faint, Mathilde can feel that this young man has superb swordsmanship and extraordinary martial arts.

Besides, Mathilde has nothing now and needs to find a job quickly, otherwise she will have to rob. Without money, there is no food, and without food, she will starve to death.

So Mathilde said, "I will gladly fight beside you, but I warn you that if you ask me to do anything like collecting firewood or cooking, you will regret it."

Although Mathilde wants to work, she will show her tough side no matter where she is.

"Don't be afraid, ma'am. You are the daughter of a squire and the widow of a squire. You will be treated as you deserve."

"I will fight your enemies, but first I want 500 dinars as my commission.

If you were a competent commander who could lead his army to wealth and spoils, you wouldn't be bothered by this little money, but I won't follow a pauper."

"Oh, I'm not a pauper, here are your 500 dinars."

Soon, the agreement was reached.

"What a deal, Mathilde, just give up on this scumbag. He later married the smoking queen Ronnie, and you have no relationship with him at all."

[System prompt: I really don’t understand why you are so excited. ]

Wals's army has just recruited a warrior, but her martial arts skills still need to be judged.

Walsh took Mathilde to the tavern.

Owens, Aileyen and others who had been waiting for Walls for a long time immediately rushed forward when they saw Walls coming back.

"Boss, you're finally back. Where have you been? Huh? Why are you bringing a woman with you?" Owens looked at Mathilde curiously.

Walls did not answer Owens' first question, but answered Owens' second question first.

"Let me introduce you to our new partner, Mathilde. She is a formidable fighter."

After saying this, Walsh stepped back so that everyone could see Mathilde completely.

Mathilde looked at Wals' companions. They were wearing casual clothes, but Mathilde could feel that there were several masters in this team, such as the young man.

"I'm Aileyen, and I'm glad to have a lady joining our team." Aileyen knew that Mathilde was looking at him, so he immediately came out to introduce himself.

"I'm Owens." After Alleyn introduced himself, Owens immediately jumped out. He seemed very excited about this lady joining his team.

In contrast to Owens' excited expression, Jenks appeared surprisingly calm.

The other team members were equally excited, though there were a few who were confused as to how powerful this woman was.

They had also heard some rumors about some female knights and female warriors on the continent. They didn't expect that they would have a chance to see a female warrior now. However, how powerful she was was still a question.

Seeing some of his companions showing doubtful expressions, he knew that his companions were questioning Mathilde's ability, so he looked at Mathilde, and the latter naturally knew what they were thinking.

Therefore, she came out without hesitation to prove her strength.

"How about we have a sparring match with that young man over there?" Mathilde said, pointing at a young man from Vigia.

This guy seemed to be the one who doubted Mathilde's ability the most, so Mathilde went to him first.

But the young man cleverly said, "No, that's not necessary." If this young man went to fight with Mathilde, Walls could be sure that he would definitely have one more seriously injured person.

However, if he didn't send someone to compete with Mathilde, no one would know how powerful Mathilde was, so he had to sacrifice someone.

"Owens, come over here and spar with Matilde."

Owens was also stunned when he heard this. What's wrong? Why should I go and compete with her?

"What are you doing? You actually want to step on Owens to get to the top. What kind of mentality is this! You lackey..." The Baron couldn't help but get a little angry when he saw this scene.

[System prompt: Brother Owens is indeed one of the people I respect.]

But after hearing Walth's order, the Nord boy still came over.

"Boss, why?" Owens asked puzzledly.

Walls did not answer Owens' question, but said to everyone: "This female warrior wants to prove her strength. I hope you can watch her fight with Owens to understand her strength."

Hearing this, Owens finally understood what Walls wanted to do. But why didn't he go to find Aileyen?

There is a reason for this. Aileyon is a knight, he would not hit a lady, he would definitely lose on purpose, but Owens does not have so many concerns, so Walls will of course choose Owens.

Jenks is good at bows and arrows, but he is not good at close combat. Choosing a weak opponent will not allow Mathilde's strength to be displayed, so the best candidate is Owens.

Mathilde naturally had no objection. She just wanted to let Walls' companions know her own strength so that they would be more careful.

"I'd be happy to compete with you," said Mathilde.

At this point, Owens naturally had no way to retreat, so he had to compete with Mathilde. He obeyed Walls' orders, just like the royal guards obeyed the orders of their superiors.

In full view of the public, a competition began.

"You are so annoying, Walls, for giving Mathilde such a sweet treat." De Lassel couldn't help but get angry.

[System prompt: I'll give you a chance to travel back in time and educate him, okay? ]

"That's not necessary. I don't want to embarrass myself... Bah, bah, bah, I just don't want to be in the spotlight."

The Baron was having a headache thinking about the many enemies on the opposite side and Owens, whom he couldn't bear to attack.

However, if I really activate the power of the dragon clan and the sacred power of the system, wouldn't it be possible for me to win?

Neither side used sharp weapons, but instead used sticks found as firewood in a nearby fire.

Although these sticks were not cut straight, they were just ordinary branches with strange shapes, but Mathilde and Owens found a few straighter ones.

"This is a completely civilian weapon," Owens muttered.

But Walls had no choice. He couldn't just find a few good wooden sticks or swords for a fight. He was not the owner of the arena.

Similarly, Mathilde frowned when she saw the wooden stick in her hand, and she still seemed dissatisfied with this weapon.

But no matter how dissatisfied she was, she had no choice but to go ahead. After all, if she fought with real weapons, there would inevitably be injuries.

The duel took place on the street outside the tavern so as not to damage anything in the tavern or injure innocent spectators.

"Now let's watch the duel between these two people." Walls said loudly to his companions. At this time, some mercenaries or people from other professions came to watch the excitement.

As soon as Walls finished speaking, Mathilde rushed over like a torrent so that she could take the initiative.

Mathilde just wanted to defeat Owens as soon as possible so that she would leave a deeper impression on others.

She wanted to let others know how powerful she was.

She held the wooden stick in both hands and swung the inferior weapon vigorously. Although she was not good at using this weapon, her experience in fighting on the battlefield came in handy at this moment.

Preconception? Owens is also a person who has experienced war. His experience on the battlefield may not be as rich as Mathilde's, but this does not mean that Owens will lose.

His power should not be underestimated.

Mathilde raised her hand and hit with a stick. The attack came swiftly, but Owens saw it clearly and quickly raised his stick, blocking Mathilde's attack.

This is given to you first.

This was Owens's thought. He knew what he should do next, and when Mathilde withdrew her weapon, it was time for him to attack.

But he was wrong. He shouldn't have attacked.
