So, he expressed his confusion in an awkward and somewhat clumsy tone:
"Aren't you... afraid of me?"
"Hahaha, why be afraid of the knight?"
Uncle Sam paused for a moment, then stroked his beard with a very easygoing air:
"Why should we be afraid that you will change anything? So why not try to understand you with goodwill?"
Uncle Sam's simple yet philosophical words left the black-armored knight momentarily stunned.
At this moment, Uncle Sam's words echoed in his mind, which usually only thought about how to kill.
He simply wanted to taste the fear that weak humans would feel after he displayed the terrifying power he possessed.
He has always done it this way.
But Uncle Sam's actions and words interrupted the killing spree he had repeated in countless villages.
This frail human being made him feel helpless for the first time in his life.
then.
He lowered his head blankly, staring at Uncle Sam without saying a word.
After a long silence.
Uncle Sam asked with concern:
"Sir Knight, what do you need? Is there anything we can do to help you?"
"Could you... help me gather the villagers?"
The black-armored knight revealed his habit of rarely communicating with others, and he expressed his demands in a broken voice, sounding somewhat depressed.
"Okay, I'll call it now."
Uncle Sam looked at the black-armored knight with a puzzled expression.
The other person's awkward tone of voice led him to believe that the person meant no harm.
So he began to shout at the top of his lungs in the streets of Qingfeng Village:
"Brothers and sisters of Qingfeng Village, another knight has arrived!"
What does it mean?
The black-armored knight frowned, puzzled.
Uncle Sam, as the village chief of Qingfeng Village, has a very influential voice.
Soon, the tightly closed doors of the houses in the village opened one after another, and all the villagers stopped at the door.
They all turned to look at Uncle Sam, who was the village chief, following the sound.
"He really is a knight!"
"May I ask what brings this esteemed knight to our Qingfeng Village?"
"Who knows, another disaster might befall our Qingfeng Village, and he may have come to help us resolve it."
......
Upon seeing the tall, black-armored knight beside Uncle Sam, the villagers began to chatter amongst themselves.
He looked at the black-armored knight.
The villagers' noisy chatter annoyed him.
This feeling of irritation immediately dispelled the words of Uncle Sam that had been lingering in his mind.
Now, all the villagers have appeared.
He quickly realized this fact.
So all he had to do next was to inflict cruelty on this weak human being who left him bewildered, and spread fear through his death.
He could then begin to enjoy this belated feast of slaughter.
Think about this.
The black-armored knight walked up to Uncle Sam and raised one of his hands again.
Uncle Sam noticed this and scratched his head in confusion:
"What does the knight wish to do?"
"Humph!"
The black-armored knight snorted coldly, answering the other party with a contemptuous look that was barely noticeable beneath his visor.
immediately.
He then used that strong arm to strike the frail human, who in his eyes was already a bloody, mangled corpse.
But, the next moment.
What happened next was something he never expected.
"call out!"
A sharp, rapid whooshing sound pierced the sky, and an arrow of extraordinary material flew in from the twilight.
The arrow struck precisely the arm of the black-armored knight who was about to kill Uncle Sam.
It then broke through his sturdy armor and pierced through his arm.
"what!!!"
Instantly, the black-armored knight felt an unprecedented, intense pain.
He used his other hand to grasp the arrow piercing his arm, trying to pull it out.
But to his astonishment, the arrow seemed to have become one with his arm, and he couldn't pull it out at all.
And at the moment he had the thought of pulling out the arrow.
An unknown energy began to burst forth from the arrow, starting from the wound on his arm and seeping into other parts of his body.
"puff!"
Soon, the unknown energy contained in the arrow severely injured him, and he immediately knelt on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this, Uncle Sam assumed that the black-armored knight had been ambushed by the enemy.
So he approached him and asked with concern:
"Sir Knight, are you alright?"
The black-armored knight remained unmoved and shakily got up from the ground.
He glanced in the direction from which the arrow had come, his eyes filled with dread.
immediately.
He kept holding the arrow piercing his arm, quickly turned around, and left Qingfeng Village.
The black-armored knight's behavior led Uncle Sam to believe that the knight, having been ambushed, did not want to implicate them, so he planned to leave Qingfeng Village as soon as possible.
then.
Uncle Sam watched the other man's departing figure and offered him a blessing, though he was somewhat clumsy, his heart was kind:
"My lord knight, please take care!"
But let's turn our attention back to this black-armored knight.
He felt incredibly frustrated.
An enemy outside his field of vision attacked him.
The arrow struck him and could not be pulled out, causing secondary injury to his body.
Now, all he wanted was to leave this strange place as soon as possible and rejoin the main force outside the village.
Soon, he met two more black-armored knights.
The most burly of the black-armored knights, seeing him return in a disheveled state, clutching his arm, asked in bewilderment:
"What's wrong, Hall?"
"Lord Daba, there is a very powerful enemy in this village!"
The black-armored knight Hall approached the black-armored knight Daba, knelt down, and displayed the arrow piercing his arm.
"This is... an arrow shot by someone with a high-level 'Blessing of the Wind God'!"
The black-armored knight, Daiba, immediately discerned the source of Hall's arrow wound.
Then, he looked on in surprise and gazed into the distance.
His gaze was not on Qingfeng Village in front of him, but on something much further away:
"The one who shot this arrow is not from this village."
But they're not people we can afford to mess with.
Walk! "
The perspective shifts to the rooftop of a castle in the central town of Windpure.
A young man with long, flowing hair and a slightly melancholy expression stood there.
He was facing the direction of Qingfeng Village.
"Where did this demonic lackey come from, daring to run wild in my territory?"
As the long-haired youth spoke, he casually tossed the bow, which showed obvious signs of breakage, aside:
"You should be grateful that this bow can no longer shoot a second arrow."
Otherwise, you will surely lose your lives here.
At this point, the long-haired young man thoughtfully looked away.
He saw a remote forest:
"Looks like I should go find that alchemist and ask for my new bow back."
Chapter 86 The Daily Affairs of Blackrock Territory
late at night.
Black Rock Fortress.
Office lobby.
Arthur sat at his desk, handling the day-to-day affairs of the territory's development.
First, there were the spoils of the war to exterminate the wind wolves: a large quantity of processed meat and warm clothing from adult wind wolves.
The villagers of Linfeng Village and Hanwu Village have completed 80% of the task.
It produces about 2,000 kilograms of meat and 180 high-quality, cold-resistant overcoats.
Arthur kept his promise and used one-tenth of the meat, or two hundred kilograms, and twenty warm coats as advance payment for their labor.
He thus gained the villagers' approval and received feedback from the system:
[The hard work of the villagers of Linfeng Village and Hanwu Village has been rewarded, their quality of life has improved, and the villagers admire the host. The host has practiced the chivalrous spirit of "honesty" and "compassion," earning +100 virtue points and +2 to the overall loyalty of the people.]
[Blackrock Territory citizens (one town and seven villages), 4000 people, overall loyalty (updated): 22 (negatively low).]
Virtue Points (Updated): 675;
Now, let's return to the topic of these valuable supplies.
After receiving an advance payment from the villagers.
Arthur used all the remaining wolf meat and warm coats to enhance military strength.
Upon his return, he intensified the intensity of daily training and added a combat skills training component.
High-intensity physical training means a large consumption of energy and nutrients.
Therefore, ensuring a higher quality diet is particularly crucial in this stage.
