Chapter 313 Planning and Guidance (Two chapters in one)
In addition, the two also expressed great admiration for their captain's ability to attract trouble.
Both of them had experienced the battle with the Bloodtop Mercenary Group before. Although they came late and only focused on cleaning up the battlefield, they naturally understood the cause and effect afterwards.
They knew that their captain, Ryan, actually had a conflict with the Marquis of Orenzi Family of the Imperial Capital, one of the shareholders behind the Axon Auction House.
And this time, it was the Axon Auction House again, and it seemed to be a vassal team of a duke.
This is the duke!
Who can be awarded the title of duke is easy to deal with?
However,
after seeing Ryan's exaggerated and perverted learning ability, the two had a kind of... How to say, almost irrational confidence in their captain.
They felt that their captain could still have the upper hand even when facing a duke.
"Captain, how do we deal with this guy?" Angus asked.
Ryan thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, lock him up first and see how he reacts."
He has a lot of things to do now. First, he needs to change his job, and second, he needs to learn advanced meditation methods. He is too lazy to have some fake communication or negotiations with these nobles.
Ryan plans to ask the beautiful woman Jennifer after she comes back.
It seems that she said that there seems to be a shareholders' meeting today?
Now that Jennifer has become a shareholder of the Münster branch of the Akson Auction House, the level of busyness has obviously increased by an order of magnitude.
It is precisely because Jennifer is in charge of the business that Ryan can devote himself to cultivation and avoid a lot of trivial matters.
"By the way, let Neoro and Evelyn know about this matter."
"Okay, Captain."
"Captain, your mansion is really nice, and there is such a spacious indoor training room, which is tailor-made for you." After reporting, Vieri couldn't help but look around Ryan's new mansion.
Just now, when the two of them came to Ryan's original mansion, they heard the servants who stayed behind say that Ryan had gone to see the new mansion, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Well, the training room is really good. By the way, Vieri, remember to take your things and move them here today. It's just right that you can practice with me on weekdays." Ryan smiled and said.
Vieri was still very happy to hear the first half of the sentence, but the second half made Vieri look bitter.
He knew too well how hard it was to be a sparring partner for his captain!
To describe it in two words, it would be "sour and refreshing".
However, the improvement in strength is indeed obvious. Ryan will help them point out the shortcomings in some details and key points.
"Okay, captain, then I'll go get the things now." Vieri nodded and said.
"Captain, I'll help Vieri."
Just as the two were about to leave, Ryan suddenly stopped them and said, "Wait, one of you two will stay and practice lance with me."
"Huh?" Angus and Vieri looked at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Did you hear it right?
Lance?
But when the two looked at Ryan's hands, they knew that there was nothing wrong with their ears just now.
Because at this moment, the dark metal in the hands of their captain was slowly transforming into a lance that was more than three meters long.
"Captain, you are not acting on impulse again this time, are you?" Vieri said with wide eyes, looking at the lance.
"This time it's not a whim, uh, it's a long-planned plan. After all, I think as a knight, it is necessary to master a long-handled weapon for charging." Ryan said with a smile.
"Captain, I will move first and practice with you later. Angus, thank you for your hard work." With that, Vieri left in a flash.
Angus looked at the three-meter lance in Ryan's hand and the shield he held in one hand, and was suddenly speechless.
You know, facing the stab of such a lance, even though he has a shield, he feels that he can't withstand it at all!
The two short daggers stabbed him so much that he had to repair his shield more than a dozen times.
But now this is a lance, and the impact of the stab is far beyond the reach of a short dagger.
The difference in power is like heaven and earth!
-
In a mansion near the Münster branch of the Axon Auction House.
This is also an auction house property, generally used to receive important guests with a number of more than three people.
Of course, if there are only one or two people, the VIP room of the auction house can also be arranged, such as Drake liked to stay in the VIP room before.
Sam brought quite a few people this time, so he arranged them here.
Sam, who was resting in the bedroom, came out and came to the living room. After looking around, he found that Dixon had not returned yet. He asked the rest of the team in confusion:
"Huh? Dixon hasn't returned yet?"
Several people shook their heads and said, "No, he hasn't returned yet."
"Something is wrong, Garcia, go and have a look and find out what's going on."
"Okay, Captain Sam." The long-legged woman with a longbow on her back stood up and nodded.
The remaining two looked at each other, wondering if their boss was making a fuss.
Sam frowned and thought quickly.
A few hours ago, Dixon sent a message that the elf girl was going to the Sword Bearer Munster branch to meet a Sword Bearer.
Judging from their ages, the elf girl's friends are very young and seem to be new Sword Bearers.
So, at that time, he didn't take the news to heart.
'Could it be that Dixon saw that the target was easy to solve, so he took action without authorization? '
After thinking about it, Sam shook his head and felt that this possibility was not high.
'Let's wait for Garcia to come back. '
In less than half an hour, Garcia came back. The first sentence he said when he opened the door made Sam look a little ugly.
"Captain, Dixon is in trouble."
Then, Garcia quickly told the situation again.
After all, there were many pedestrians who saw the conflict between Ryan and Dixon at that time. As a woman, Garcia had good affinity and it was easy for her to find out the situation.
Moreover, she also communicated with the guards at the door of the Sword Bearer and confirmed that Dixon was currently locked up in the Sword Bearer branch.
"What, Dixon was locked up? In the Sword Bearer Munster branch? This is an abuse of power. What crime did they use?" One person said angrily.
This was the first time that their "Sam Group" encountered a member of their team being detained by the Imperial Sword Bearer.
"Suspected cultists, attacking the Imperial Sword Bearer in the street." Garcia said.
"Fuck! What a suspected cultist, it's just a pretext." A bald man touched his head and said.
"This sword bearer branch in Munster is a bit weird." Another person said.
Everyone present knew that the Bloodtop Mercenary Group was said to have fought with a diamond-star sword bearer in Munster and was wiped out.
"Do you think Dixon ran into that person?"
"You said that the sword bearer of the Bloodtop Mercenary Group was killed? It's impossible. Dixon's luck is so bad?"
After listening to Garcia's report, the leader Sam, who had been silent, spoke up at this time.
"The person in charge of the Munster branch should be Fabien. Let him help communicate and get Dixon out first. In addition, find the information of the young sword bearer who had a conflict with Dixon."
"Garcia, you have to make another trip to the auction house."
Sam thought clearly that in Munster, he had to find a local snake like Fabien, which would be more efficient than sending people to investigate.
"Okay, Captain, I'll contact them right away." The woman with a back bow named Garcia walked out.
The Münster branch of the Axon Auction House.
In an office on the third floor.
"Hmm? Miss Garcia, you said that Sam's attendant Dixon was detained by the Sword Bearers' Münster branch?" Fabian said in surprise.
"Yes, there may be a misunderstanding, so I need to trouble Sir Fabian to find a way to get him out." Garcia smiled and said.
Fabian's mouth twitched a little!
When he heard the three words "Sword Bearers", a young man's figure appeared in his mind involuntarily.
"Okay, I'll try, but I can't guarantee that I can do it." After thinking about it, Fabian did not shirk his responsibility, but nodded and agreed.
After all, as an old man who has been in the auction for many years, he naturally knew that the Duke of Drum of the Imperial Capital was behind the 'Sam Group', who was in a high position and had great power.
"Of course, Sir Fabian, please hurry up a little. According to the plan, Sam will leave Münster tomorrow." Garcia nodded and said.
"Well, I'll do it right away." Fabien nodded.
When Fabien contacted an acquaintance in the Sword Bearer's Munster branch and understood the matter clearly.
"What! It's Ryan again!" Fabien looked at the note in his hand, his eyes widened, his mouth slightly opened, and the whole person felt confused!
"Why did you offend him again when you can offend anyone else!" Fabien felt a sharp pain in his forehead!
Whether it was Sam's group or Ryan, they were people he couldn't afford to offend.
"Wait, no, Ryan is now a shareholder of the Munster branch, no, to be precise, the actual controller, and the shareholder is that beautiful woman." Fabien muttered to himself.
"And Sam is under the command of Lord Duke Drum, one of the major shareholders of the auction house."
"From this point of view, Sam and Ryan are both 'own people' within the Axon Auction House."
"Since they are our own people, let the two parties contact each other, why should I interfere!" Fabien's eyes flickered, and he immediately thought of a good idea.
Half an hour later.
Garcia returned to the temporary mansion from the auction house.
"What! Is it really Ryan who wiped out the Bloodtop Mercenaries?" Sam was stunned!
"Yes, Fabien also said that the other party is now a shareholder of the Munster branch and is his boss, and you are also his boss. Therefore, as an internal conflict of the auction house, he suggested that you communicate directly with Mr. Ryan." Garcia said.
She was speechless when she heard what Fabien said just now!
Who is "one of us" to that Ryan!
Sam was stroking his chin and thinking quickly.
This Diamond Star Swordsman named Ryan was very strong and could defeat the Bloodtop Mercenary Group. There is no doubt about that.
It is not wise to confront him directly.
However, elf girls rarely appear in human territory.
As the former captain of the slave-catching team, he naturally knows how big the risk is to go to the elf habitat to capture elf girls.
But because of this, elf girls are a symbol of identity and status among the top nobles.
And Duke Drum has a special hobby for elves. I remember that he also caught an elf young woman by chance in Munster two years ago.
It was because of his excellent performance that he received a lot of rewards and greatly improved his strength, so that he was able to jump from the captain of the slave-catching team to the spokesperson of Duke Drum in several branches.
This time, such an opportunity appeared again.
If he was asked to give up, he would naturally be unwilling to do so. For a moment, Sam was a little bit at a loss for a decision.
The team members on the side also saw the hesitation of their boss.
But how does the saying go, risk and opportunity coexist?
What is risk-free?
High risk means high return.
"Boss, I have a suggestion." The bald man said.
"Hmm? You say." As the leader of the team, Sam has a good advantage, that is, he is willing to listen to the reasonable suggestions of his subordinates.
"In fact, our target is the elf girl. In other words, as long as we find an opportunity, can't we just kidnap the elf girl directly? Why do we have to confront the other party head-on?"
The bald man looked like a reckless man, but the suggestion he made was indeed delicate.
"You mean?" Sam instantly understood the other party's idea.
After making a feint to the east and attacking the west, and dealing with the elf girl, he left Munster directly.
"That's right! Boss, we can split into two groups, one to hold the enemy back, and the other to kidnap the elf girl. Then we can leave Munster immediately. What else can the enemy do to us?" Another team member's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately agreed.
"That's not impossible. Then who will lead away or stop this Ryan?" Sam looked around at his subordinates and said.
Suddenly, several people on the scene showed hesitation and looked at each other.
"This. I am willing to do it, but I am afraid that my strength is not enough and it will delay the captain's work." The bald strong man touched his head, smiled, and said.
"As for leading away Ryan, Captain, we don't have to do it ourselves. I suggest that we can ask Hansal to come over and let him lead Ryan away." Garcia thought for a while and said.
"'Earth Dragon Knight' Hansal?" Sam raised his eyebrows and immediately thought of someone.
"Yes, Captain."
"Hansal, the 'Earth Dragon Knight', is extremely fast with his Earth Dragon mount. It is definitely feasible for him to lead this Ryan away. And then, we can directly kidnap the elf girl."
The Earth Dragon is a sub-dragon beast with a relatively thin dragon bloodline. Although, among the dragon-born creatures, its strength is not outstanding, it is a dragon-born creature after all.
Whether it is strength or speed, it is much stronger than other ferocious beasts.
If there is no Earth Dragon under his crotch, Hansal is just a peak knight, but with the Earth Dragon, he is a quasi-legend.
Moreover, among quasi-legends, he is also a very powerful character.
"But the cost of hiring 'Earth Dragon Knight' Hansal is not low." The bald strong man interrupted.
"The cost is indeed not low, but it is nothing more than a higher price. If he can join, our risk will be much smaller."
After thinking for a while, Sam nodded and said, "Okay, this matter is settled, and we will invite 'Earth Dragon Knight' Hansal to come."
It costs a little bit, but the risk is greatly reduced. It's feasible!
"Well, the other party is now in Savoy Province. It will take at least four days to contact each other and rush over." Garcia added.
"Okay, then four days. Tomorrow we will go to Nome Province as planned. When we come back, the other party should have arrived in Munster." Sam nodded and said.
——When
Vieri returned to the new Rennes mansion again.
As soon as he walked into the training room, he was stunned.
Because at this moment in the center of the field, Angus was holding a shield and defending perfectly, but his captain Rennes was holding a lance, stabbing or picking, and hitting Angus without any counterattack.
"It's really a knight's lance?" Vieri muttered to himself.
"But he can beat Angus like this just after getting started? This is too exaggerated!"
Since he met Rennes, this is the first time he has seen him use a knight's lance.
Moreover, it can be seen that the knight's lance in the hands of his captain Rennes is obviously a little bit awkward when he uses it. Obviously, he has just started.
But even so, Angus was still forced to retreat step by step.
This made Vieri a little confused.
In fact, it was not only Neoro, but Angus in the center of the field also didn't understand. It was obvious that
Ryan's lance was still a little awkward in his moves. Every time he seized the opportunity and planned to counterattack, Ryan quickly adjusted his position, making it impossible for him to get within the distance suitable for attacking with the knight's sword.
This sense of distance was so far and near that Angus was so sad that he almost vomited blood.
"Stop! Captain, I need to take a break. I can't do it anymore." Angus shouted.
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
"Captain, your control of distance just now is really too uncomfortable. I was about to attack, but I found that the distance was too far and I couldn't attack. When I hesitated, I missed the opportunity to counterattack."
"This is actually a kind of mystery 'Shadow Step' that I realized when I was practicing daggers a few days ago."
"A special step that uses the Force combined with the strength of the legs to move back and forth twice at high speed within a short distance." Ryan shared with his team members without hiding anything.
"Also, Angus, when you use the shield for defense, I feel that the strength and the Force in some parts of your body are not well combined."
After sharing, Ryan pointed out Angus' current problems.
"Oh? Captain, can you help me point it out specifically?" Angus looked happy.
This is also the reason why everyone enjoys practicing with Ryan.
The types of weapons that their captain is good at almost cover the weapons of all members of the team, so he can point out any problems that everyone has in battle.
"Well, these two parts." Ryan walked forward and patted Angus's left shoulder blade and right lower back.
"You should gain something if you try harder."
"Thank you for your advice, Captain." Angus bowed slightly and thanked him.
"You're welcome." Ryan waved his hand and said.
Angus's strength is actually very good. He has a solid foundation in sword and shield combat skills. If he can readjust the power of these two parts, his strength should be able to increase by half a percent in a week.
Don't look at it as only half a percent, but sometimes it is very critical.
Two people with similar combat power may have a difference of half a percent in strength, which will determine the outcome.
Ryan looked at the system and saw that his 'Lance of Longiluo' has entered level 4.
Since he got the talent 'Advanced Supernatural Comprehension', his upgrade speed when learning new supernatural combat skills is really as fast as a rocket.
If nothing goes wrong, it should be the same as when practicing "Borak's Assassination Dance". After about three days, you should be able to comprehend the secrets of lance weapons.
"Captain, I have moved the things. I just informed Neoro and Evelyn about this matter." Vieri stepped forward and said with a smile.
"Well, it's good that they have been notified. Come, you also practice with me for a while." Ryan nodded.
"Ah? I don't have a shield, how can I resist it." Vieri smiled bitterly, but he did not hesitate and quickly walked onto the stage.
It was almost evening.
The beautiful woman Jennifer returned with a tired face.
However, when she saw the new mansion, she was delighted, but she once again clearly felt Ryan's influence.
The Duke of Munster personally awarded the mansion as a reward. At least she had hardly heard of this honor.
Originally, she planned to wait until the auction house dividends for this year arrived before buying a slightly larger mansion, but now it seems that it is no longer necessary.
Moreover, it was almost done in one step!
Compared with the best mansions on the market that she had seen before, it was more than a level better.
Ryan also picked out the key points of what happened today and told the beautiful woman.
"Elf blood?" When the beautiful woman heard that Anna was an elf, she immediately covered her cherry lips and was surprised.
"No wonder they tracked her down."
"Huh? Any explanation?" Ryan asked back.
"Of course, elf girls are the most sought after by top nobles." The beautiful woman obviously knew a lot about these things and explained them to Ryan.
"As for the duke behind the 'Sam Group', I think I should know who it is."
"I don't know about the Imperial Capital, but there are only two dukes involved in the Minster branch, namely the Duke of Minster and the Duke of Drum of the Imperial Capital."
"Obviously, the Duke of Minster is not possible. Then the answer is naturally the Duke of Drum of the Imperial Capital."
Ryan raised his eyebrows.
He didn't expect that the Duke of Minster also had shares in the Axon Auction House, but he understood it after a little thought.
Yes, as the most powerful family in Munster, if the Axon Auction House had a little foresight, it would have brought the other party in.
"Dear, elf girls are very rare, you must not miss them, haha."
