Blue Sword

The review test of the Bull Mercenary Group is generally divided into three steps: identity review, close combat test and shooting test.

Among them, the identity verification is just a formality, and the focus is still on melee combat and shooting. If you want to be a mercenary, force value is naturally essential.

And here, the close combat test is far more dangerous than the shooting test. The latter is at most a moving target, while the former has to fight with real people with real swords and guns, so death and injury are often unavoidable.

When they arrived at the training ground (actually a local football field with stands on both sides), everyone saw a strong Norman man stabbing the training post with a knife. There were also a few spectators in the stands nearby, who seemed to be Bulls servants. The mercenaries of the Corps were drinking and playing cards out of boredom.

"Newcomer?" The strong man turned around, looked at the people coming in from the entrance of the football field, and showed a slightly ferocious smile - a huge scar cut off the bridge of his nose diagonally from his left eye, and on his The corners of his lips opened up into ugly gaps, making him look like an evil ghost crawling out of hell.

Every time he shows such a terrifying smile, the panicked fear shown by newcomers who have never seen the world is the expression and pastime that Madman Barrow is most happy to see.

However, the newcomer in front of him was just looking at the scar on his face curiously, as if it was just some non-mainstream tattoo.

Barrow:………………

This was the first time he saw such a stubborn newcomer, and he was speechless for a moment in shock. Soon, feeling a little embarrassed, he regained his venomous expression and said sullenly:

"Newcomer, are you here to sign up to die?"

"Are you the examiner of the close combat assessment?" Asik looked at him.

Judging from the intuitive feedback and spiritual perception, this "Crazy Barrow" seems to be a transcendent with level 10 bloodline, but I don't know if he has completed the Law Condensation Ceremony.

"I'm the examiner." Barrow sneered, turned to the bull mercenary next to him, and said gloomily, "So, this stupid little calf is my opponent? I'm afraid I won't be able to control this newcomer. So powerful..."

"Crazy Barrow, he was introduced by old Padro!" Someone next to Aske shouted loudly, but his tone seemed to be a bit harsh.

"Oh, it was actually introduced by our recruiting officer, Old Padro. It seems that crazy Barrow can't miss this time." Barrow mocked in a sinister way, put the back of the knife on his shoulder, and sneered contemptuously. He stood up and said, "Haha, do you really think that just using Padro's name can scare me?"

With a fierce and murderous gaze, he locked Aske tightly, as if he was thinking about how to kill him next.

However, the newcomer didn't show any fear. He just turned around and asked the person next to him:

"Are your Bull Mercenary Group's tests so reckless? Can you kill someone by mistake during the assessment?"

"Ahem." Someone next to him couldn't help but remind him, "Crazy Barrow is a transcendent, an elite member of the Aragon Raid Legion."

Ask said "oh" and understood the other party's hint.

Since this person is a Level 10 transcendent, that is to say, the other party is most likely performing some ritual mission, such as how many humans he wants to kill, so he will kill the newcomer in the name of assessment. After all, newcomers have to sign a liability exemption agreement before taking the assessment, so if they accidentally die in battle, they don't have to worry about getting into trouble.

If you think about it further, since the superiors of the Bull Mercenary Group placed Crazy Barrow in this position, they must also intend to use the lives of innocent newcomers to boost the progress of his ritual tasks. In other words, there is a high probability that this guy is covered by someone in the mercenary group.

Of course, the mercenary group's open recruitment is a necessary way to replenish fresh blood. If a large number of newcomers are killed by Barrow during the assessment process, it will definitely have a negative impact on the credibility of the Bull Mercenary Group itself.

So the higher-ups made a compromise with old Padro, the recruiting officer (this old man was probably not from the same faction as Madman Barrow). If he thinks the newcomer is valuable, he will tell Barrow to let him go and not kill him. In this way, just "accidentally" killing a few underperforming newcomers every day will not arouse suspicion from the outside world.

Thinking of this, Asik burst into laughter. He has really played too many games, and he is still using the idea of ​​analyzing NPC tasks to guess the current situation... But he did not come here to really join the Bull Mercenary Group, so he is not afraid of offending the other party and further muddying the waters. , so he smiled and said:

"So, he will be my opponent next?"

Everyone was speechless. So it’s been said that Crazy Barrow is a transcendent, why do you still want to challenge him alone?

"In that case, let's get started quickly." Asik didn't use conceptual weapons. He just pulled out the dragon bone sword from his waist and stepped forward.

"Wait a minute, you haven't signed the liability release agreement yet..." someone shouted from behind.

However, Madman Barrow, who had been dissatisfied with him from the beginning, could not wait to draw his sword and rush towards him. With the explosion of Lv.10 physical power, he approached Asker almost instantly, and the sword light fell like a waterfall. And down!

Asker hurriedly raised his sword to block. The moment the weapons clashed, the knife in the opponent's hand broke into two pieces, followed by a burst of blood.

A huge wound of flesh and blood spread from Madman Barrow's lower right abdomen to his left shoulder as his long sword was raised, and blood was still spilling out along with the sword's movement.

Before the expression on Madman Barrow's face could change, his severely injured body slumped backwards and fell heavily onto the grass soaked in a pool of blood.

Everyone:………………

Is this...a winner? And it’s still an instant kill?

The venue was quiet for a moment, and someone suddenly stood up in the stands.

"Crazy Barrow is dead! Go and inform His Highness Ferdinand!"

The patrol team that brought Asker over was in collective stunned silence. However, the two mercenaries at the side of the field reacted and quickly drew their swords and rushed forward to separate Asik from the madman Barrow who fell to the ground.

One of them hurriedly squatted down to check Crazy Barrow's injuries, while the other held Asike's sword as if facing a formidable enemy, fearing that the "newcomer" would continue to attack Barrow.

However, Asik just hung the dragon bone sword back on his waist and said with a smile:

"Can we proceed to the next round of assessment now?"

"You're finished!" the Bull mercenary in front of him said coldly, "You actually killed Madman Barrow! No one can save your life from now on, you can't leave here alive!"

"Oh?" Ask said nonchalantly, "He's not dead. I have something to hold on to."

"Hold your hands? Everyone saw the wounds on his body!" The mercenary roared fiercely.

He was about to continue to say a few harsh words, when the companion who was checking Barrow's injury behind him stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and then whispered quickly:

"The wound looks long, but it is not deep, and it does not damage the internal organs. If the rescue is timely and there is no subsequent secondary infection, life may still be saved."

Bull Mercenary:………………

"Look." Ask spread his hands, "As a professional mercenary, how could he not be able to control his strength and accidentally kill someone by mistake?"

These words seemed to be explaining, but also seemed to be mocking Crazy Barrow's previous so-called "missed" threat, which was too fake. Even though this bull mercenary was too thick-skinned, he couldn't think of how to refute at this time, so he could only stare at him with a look that seemed to kill someone.

PY transaction: Friendly recommendation of a fictional historical harem novel "The Prince Is Very Fierce". A female fan in the group told me that it was very interesting. She is also following it now and asked me to help recommend it. I refused at first because I can’t recommend it just because you ask me to. At least I have to give it a try. Later I tried the technology and it was really good and great, so I recommend it to everyone.
