Later, Jiang Tian met the person who made the request. This is a brawny, round-waisted, thick-necked man who does not choose to wear anything. He only wears an old sweat-stained linen lining, and his hands and feet are full of bulging muscles.
I saw that he had a short haircut similar to that of later generations, and there were large and small scars left by fire on his head, face, arms and chest; but he unexpectedly healed and shed his skin; it seemed that the recovery ability of these heritage knights was also Far better than ordinary people's standards.
But his energy and energy were a little sluggish, and his eyes were full of weakness and fatigue. It seemed that it was what the old hunter Ajax said, a certain price for continuous use of bloodline abilities. In fact, the Free Army did not deliberately treat them harshly after capturing them.
Even during the period of internment with limited mobility, the standard of food provided every day was not lower than that of normal soldiers; there were even people who specially applied and replaced burn ointments and gauze for them; but they still seemed to have not recovered.
In other words, the superficial injuries may have healed, but some internal losses and hidden pains are not so easy to get better. Therefore, Jiang Tian planned to let them hang out for a while, and then try to take a few of them for his own use.
After all, he is also quite interested in this mutation/distortion state passed down through bloodline and needs some as samples and templates for observation and research anytime and anywhere. But I didn't expect that just over half a month after the war, some people could no longer stand it.
"I'm right here. If you want to say anything, just say it quickly!" Jiang Da Ma was sitting on a fur armchair. "My time is precious. It's best to express it within ten sentences." Your attitude and intentions, otherwise, there will be no next time."
"My Excellency, Duval de Gendeau, is Lord Shihou from the town of Planto; he was the chief cavalry instructor of the White Corps." The strong man couldn't help being shocked when he heard this, but he reported his family status step by step: "I lost to you. The army is both my shame and my honor."
"As a knight who has been passed down from generation to generation in the kingdom, we were frustrated by the siege of a group of ordinary soldiers. This is undoubtedly a shame for us." Then he took the initiative to explain: "But since I was defeated under your command, It’s another kind of glory that we’re waiting for.”
"That's unreasonable!" Jiang Tian couldn't help but sneered after hearing this, feeling angry and funny at the same time: "How can there be such a self-contradictory thing? You are still afraid to wash your hands after being defeated, so you are making such random excuses. Are you trying your best to put money on your face?"
"Don't dare! If it's just meaningless flattery and self-comfort, wouldn't it offend your wisdom and authority?" However, the strong man Duval said more seriously: "As the defeated, we must bear everything of course. There are corresponding consequences and costs.”
"Then what do you want to say?" Jiang Tian asked with interest after hearing this: "In other words, what do you want to get from me?"
"No, no, as a defeated general, how dare I ask for more conditions and demands." The strong man Duval shook his head vigorously again and said: "We only have a little humble question. There were rumors that you died on the battlefield. And was resurrected, and thus received the revelation.”
"How is this possible? It's not a gospel story from ancient times." Jiang Tian shook his head and laughed: "You are wasting my patience and time! Stop using nonsense like this to spread lies. Or it’s too generous to make people laugh.”
"Then, I would like to ask you a humble question, Lord Legion, have you also awakened and possessed some abilities that are different from ordinary people?" The strong man Duval looked nervously and said: "I was fortunate enough to witness you with one blow. The feat of shattering an entire city gate."
"..." Jiang Tian didn't say anything when he heard this, but he laughed on the spot without comment: "What do you want to prove by beating around the bush? Could it be that the army that lost to me is not willing to lose to me, but if it loses to me? Do you feel at ease with yourself?"
A moment later, Jiang Tian stood with his hands behind his back in front of a group of captured knights who had been summoned; they were all affiliated to the Southern Royalist Party's armed forces, the First Knights of the White Legion, so there were probably more than 300 knights at first. and a staff of fifteen hundred retinues.
As a result, almost the entire army was wiped out in a proactive battle outside Avignon. But it seems that because the knights inherited from the bloodline are particularly thick-skinned and thick-bodied, and their recovery ability is different from ordinary people, more than half of the knights survived and became prisoners in the end.
Therefore, even if there are more than a hundred strong men in shackles, all tall, short, fat and thin, standing together, they are filled with a sense of threat and oppression, intentionally or unintentionally, which also makes the guards watching by. The soldiers of the guard company were as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
However, under Jiang Tian's order, they put away their crossbows and muskets one after another, and then released their shackles one after another; they retreated outside the atrium of the large cell one after another. Lock all the doors; only the expectant faces waiting through the gratings and iron windows are left.
The captured knights who saw this scene couldn't help but burst into commotion and discussions; then they saw Jiang Tian rubbing his palms and saying to himself: "To be honest, I haven't fully exercised in many days. But now there are still people who actively request to be beaten..."
The next moment, he flew forward with a single step and landed on the strongest-looking knight in front of him; he kicked him so much that his saliva flew out like a cannonball, and he was knocked down heavily into the crowd without losing any momentum. It stumbles like a tumbling bowling ball.
The others finally reacted, and couldn't help but scream and rush towards each other. Suddenly, like a rolling wave, layers of layers were submerged, and the place where Jiang Tian once was was submerged: and then, in the next moment, there was a deep sound. With a loud drink, it was thrown away in all directions.
Then, the security soldiers who were guarding the doors and windows of the atrium of the cell once again saw a strange scene of trapeze artists; one after another, thick, muscular, or strong human bodies, amidst shouts of exclamation, He was thrown into the air one after another like a circus acrobat.
Then, the wall and the ceiling continued to be ravaged by the unbearable collision, and the falling sand and dust popped; various trapeze performances continued over and over again... until the last victim also endured the pain. After being knocked unconscious and spinning continuously.
The door to the atrium of the tightly closed cell was slowly opened, and in front of these soldiers was revealed a mountain of human flesh piled up in various directions; and the soldier was sitting on the top of the small mountain of human flesh, gently rubbing his red arms. Jiang Tian looked refreshed and happy.
However, as the representative of these knights, Duval's first words after he woke up on the spot made Jiang Tian lose his guard: "Master Legion, you have indeed awakened the most perfect bloodline ability; I have three sisters. and an aunt who may be your lover.”
"If you don't mind, there are more than a dozen young ladies in my family that you can choose from. If you have special needs, there is no problem even if they are my sister-in-law and lover, as long as they give birth to children. To stay in the family and carry on my name.”
So, on the third day after the incident, at the temporary training ground outside Avignon, there was once again a group of strong men with bruises and swollen faces, or limping; wearing only underpants, they joined in the morning running around the city. ; At the same time, he shouted some slogans with some shame:
"Protety, justice, integrity...be patient and self-righteous...unyielding..."
At the same time, the first formalized cavalry training company of the Free Army was quietly established. After obtaining such a batch of living samples of bloodline inheritance, Jiang Tian also knew the inside story behind the ability of these bloodline knights to be strong and tenacious in fighting.
In other words, among the thousands of knights, knights and noble families distributed among the great crowns of the southern provincial road. There is a small chance that only a very small number of people in each generation can awaken the bloodline inheritance of their ancestors for various reasons within a few years of adulthood;
This kind of inheritance from bloodline awakening will usually become particularly powerful, possessing agility and reactions that are different from ordinary people, and even super endurance and physical fitness, faster recovery ability; and indomitable ability to resist blows. And was trained to become a heritage knight;
Equipped with customized plate armor, it becomes the backbone and backbone of the army. But there is also a small probability that it will give people the ability to see beyond distance and have a particularly keen sense of smell, hearing and other external senses. And possesses both shooting and hunting skills with perfect accuracy;
However, after a long or short period of blood awakening, it will also cause a series of long or short-lasting sequelae and physical and mental burdens such as weakness, fatigue, lethargy, mania, and distraction. Therefore, a lot of food and medication are needed to recover.
This is undoubtedly a huge burden for the knight families at the bottom. In addition, the kingdom's corruption and financial deterioration over the years have made it difficult for many knight and knight families to survive. As a result, they went bankrupt and hid from debts and fled to other places, which further led to the inheritance of inheritance. cut off.
On the other hand, those middle- and upper-class aristocrats who have amassed and concentrated a large amount of wealth and have been content with their comfort for a long time have found to their embarrassment that almost no one can awaken the bloodline ability of their ancestors. As a result, over time, the ability of bloodline inheritance has also declined. It became some kind of legend.
Therefore, in the southern provinces of the Kingdom, we can still find knights with this blood heritage. It is thanks to the old knight families that have survived in the area. Through mutual intermarriage and support in a small area, we have been able to retain some of the origins of inherited knights, and they have been Snare by the White Legion.
As the leader of this royalist faction and the founder of the White Army, Count Angkian also paid a high price and favorable terms to win over them. For example, they are given generous salaries, allowances, and annuities, and they are also encouraged to join their own family branches.
In other words, they are one of the biggest reasons why the white legion of royalists in the south can run rampant across several provinces. Defeated all kinds of local armed forces and armies of different political factions. I just didn't expect that I would be defeated by the Free Army outside the city of Avignon.
But after becoming prisoners of the Free Army; they also have to face imminent problems. Firstly, families that lose their income will be unable to survive; on the other hand, without adequate food and medicine, their hidden bloodline power will slowly decline.
Therefore, if they continue to be imprisoned until they are rotten, or succumb to the tyrannical force of Jiang Tian (Perfect Bloodline); accept the retention and employment of the Free Army; obtain a stable income, and keep the existing family property from being liquidated; they will become their current status. The only result is no choice.
But for Jiang Tian, since it cost a lot of money to re-assemble such a special team, it is too wasteful to simply gather them to charge with heavy cavalry; their greater value is as seeds , to teach and train more cavalry regiments.
However, after entering the month of buds (March) when the earth was full of rain and all parties were busy with spring plowing, the opportunity to use this special force came unexpectedly.
