Wizard: Live hard and you will become stronger

Enrique, who had knight-level strength, was suddenly killed without any explanation. Before the bandits could recover, the mercenaries swarmed up and immediately caused chaos to them.

These were not well-trained elite soldiers to begin with. Their ability to go smoothly before was mainly due to Enrique's own strength and effective command.

After losing this important pillar, this is just a rabble.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The situation completely fell into a one-sided massacre. Facing the menacing mercenaries, the bandits could not organize effective resistance at all.

"Run, run away!"

"The leader is dead, run away!"

More and more bandits saw that the situation was not good and fled, leaving more than a dozen corpses on the spot and quickly dispersed.

After the battle.

Knight Carl left a small number of mercenaries to help set up camp on the spot, and he took the rest to the nearby forest to bury the bodies of his companions.

This is the life of a knife-edge licking blood. He may die in the wilderness at any time without any reason. It is too difficult to transport the body back. Generally, if something goes wrong, it is buried on the spot. The mercenaries will also follow the tradition and have a simple funeral. .

As for the remaining corpses of the robbers, except for those on wanted orders like Enrique, who would have their heads chopped off and taken back, the rest would be exposed in the wilderness, and the jackals and crows in the forest would deal with them.

In the corner of the newly built camp, there was an independent tent, which was specially arranged by the team for Luo Xi to rest.

Although there was a lot of luck, in any case, it was Luo Xi who killed Enrique, and it was precisely because he killed Enrique that this crisis could be easily resolved.

In order to express gratitude, after the camp was built, the team arranged a special tent for Luo Xi. Several businessmen also came to express their gratitude and shared a bag of thank you fees.

At this moment, Luo Xi stood in front of the tent, holding a wooden stick in his hand and making gestures with a thoughtful expression.

He was thinking about a question——

Is it possible to combine magic with swordplay?

This was the inspiration brought to him by the previous battle. Although the knight's power was very limited, it was not completely without merit.

Take the previous battle between Knight Carl and Enrique as an example. The two were moving around quickly in a small area, and the exchange of two cross swords was dizzying.

In the early stage, wizards were relatively "clunky". They did not master spells such as flash and acceleration, and they were not specialized in speed. If they were not proficient in spells, they would have to stand still and concentrate on casting spells.

During this period, the wizard was a living target, relying entirely on his own defensive spells for protection. Once the defensive spells could no longer hold up, he was dead. Historically, many wizards died while chanting spells.

‘Then if magic can be integrated into the knight’s martial arts, can these problems be avoided to a certain extent? ’

The biggest problem of knights is their lack of strength. Pure physical damage is okay in the human world, but once it reaches the elemental level, it is of no use.

But if you combine magic with swordsmanship, for example, you can swing a wind blade while swinging a sword, and when you are in close contact with the enemy, the sword blade is attached with a spell that can freeze the opponent, etc.

It's exciting to think about using your dexterous body skills to deal with the enemy, and then finding the right opportunity to use your magic-fused swordsmanship to fight back.

In fact, Luo Xi had this idea when he was at the castle. He also asked Allen for advice on swordsmanship, but Allen came to the wizarding world before he had any training in swordsmanship, and he didn't know much about swordsmanship.

Because there was no real object to refer to, this idea was put aside by Luo Xi, and it was not reactivated until the knight's contest he just saw.

'It's really worth studying...'

At this moment, several people walked in front, it was the mercenaries headed by Knight Carl.

"Your Excellency Luo Xi." Knight Carl came over.

Luo Xi stopped thinking and stepped forward: "Knight Carl, are you feeling better?"

He looked at Knight Carl's waist, which had been simply bandaged with a white bandage.

Knight Carl said openly: "It's just a minor injury, it's not worth mentioning."

The knight's physique is indeed amazing. If an ordinary person suffered such an injury, even if he was lucky enough to survive, he would be basically disabled for the rest of his life. However, Knight Carl can still be alive and kicking, and there is basically nothing visible except that his face is a little pale.

After a pause, Knight Carl said: "We are here to express our gratitude to you."

Luo Xi smiled: "You're welcome, I'm also a member of the team. Besides, this is also luck, isn't it?"

"No!"

Knight Carl shook his head: "You can stand up in that critical moment, which is the greatest help to us."

In the view of Carl Knight, Rosie's greatest achievement was not to kill Enrique, but to bravely stand up and boost the morale of their mercenary group when their morale was low and about to collapse.

After all, if Luo Xi hadn't stepped forward in that situation, their mercenary group would have collapsed in just one charge, and they would have either been killed or escaped.

Even if the few members were lucky enough to survive, their reputations would be completely ruined. No employer would hire such a cowardly mercenary group again.

And when Luo Xi stepped forward, the morale of the mercenaries also rebounded. At this time, if they really wanted to fight, even if they lost in the end, they would still retain the minimum honor. There might be no chance of a comeback in the future.

Knight Karl raised his right hand and tapped his left shoulder hard. This was the etiquette of a knight.

He saluted seriously and said: "We, the Red Wolf Mercenary Group, would like to thank you for your help. The Red Wolf Mercenary Group would like to express our highest gratitude to you."

The mercenaries behind him also made the same move, tapping their left shoulders with a bang.

"Thank you for your help. The Red Wolf Mercenary Group would like to express its highest gratitude to you!"

Seeing how solemn they were, Luo Xi also put away the smile on his face, also tapped his left shoulder and returned the knight's courtesy: "I accept it."

Karl then took out a round bronze medal and handed it to Luo Xi.

Luo Xi asked doubtfully: "This is it?"

He took it in his hand and looked at it. It seemed to be a badge, with a wolf's head engraved on the front and the words "keep an oath" engraved on the back.

Karl said: "This is the badge of our Red Wolf Mercenary Group. I engraved the oath on the back."

"You hold this badge. If there is a need for our Red Wolf Mercenary Group in the future, you only need to hold this badge to find any member of my team. I, Karl, will definitely keep my promise!"

Although there are scum like Enrique, most knights still respect the spirit of chivalry. This is their spiritual sustenance and the basis for their livelihood.

Strong strength is important, but strength is not enough in the human world.

Oaths, honors, chivalry, the interpersonal relationships established around these, and the beliefs and rules established are the core factors that enable knights and nobles to become the ruling class and make the world long-term and stable.

Luo Xi grinned, and then handed the badge back to Knight Carl: "Isn't this a coincidence? I happen to have something I need to ask Knight Carl about."
