Chapter 100 Prestige
After cleaning the battlefield, Al and Pallanti continued to lead the army forward.Although he was temporarily promoted to the captain of this team by Pross, El himself has not yet established enough personal prestige.The knights in black and the city defense cavalry are elite troops who are brave and good at fighting. If you want them to obey the command sincerely, you must show your excellence.

In this night's battle, the two silver-ranked powerhouses who died successively were all from the hands of El, which is one of the reasons why Prosto entrusted him with such a heavy responsibility.Although the fighters under Pross are all elites, they lack silver-level powerhouses, and only Pallanti can barely touch the edge of silver.

From the perspective of the division of power levels, the silver rank is the dividing line between commoners and nobles, and only those who meet this standard can be called strong.In a local legion like Istaron, all the strong men who can reach the silver level are army commanders at the level of Pross, such as the three-headed dog and the three grand masters of the knights. This is the only one who has nothing to do.

This is only for warriors. The status of a silver-ranked magician is more noble. For example, the status of the great magician Ampere and the great alchemist Stephen are even more prominent than the lords in Istaron.If a magician of this level went to become a robber, I'm afraid ghosts would not believe it.But it would be even more frightening to say that the magician was under Earl Snake.

With such a large team, it is more than enough to directly expand the territory and become a powerful party, so why bother to be a busy imperial envoy?What kind of medicine is sold in Earl Snake's gourd?This question is not only considered by Pross, but also by El.

In fact, he has more information than others. At least he knows that Earl Snake is also a messenger of truth. The specific task seems to be to verify a prophecy of disaster.But he was at a loss as to his specific action plan, and couldn't see any clear goals at all.

As the leader of the surveillance force, Pross has always been to contain unknown threats at the source, so his combat style is also biased towards preemptive strikes.And El's character is just the opposite, he likes to stop and attack with silence.The most basic quality of a hunter is patience, because in the forest you never know if you are the last oriole.

After consolidating the troops, the first order he gave was to move slowly.Just now they only chased one criminal, and it was understandable for the knights to gallop their horses in a charge formation in order to hurry, but now they were chasing a group of thieves of a certain size, and the sound of horseshoes when galloping at high speed would alert the enemy in advance.

Although such an order is not wrong in principle, in the eyes of the knights who are full of martial thoughts, it seems a bit too conservative.With this in mind, El's previous two killings of the silver strongman also turned into a backstab without honor in their eyes, so they couldn't help but underestimate this freshly baked commander in their hearts. a bit.

With El's perception far beyond ordinary people, he will naturally not ignore this negative atmosphere in the team. He has no solution for this for the time being. The way to deal with these rough people is actually very simple. When he has free time, he will beat them up one by one. That's good, but now I have a heavy responsibility, so I have to talk about it later.

Compared with the distrust of the knights, what made El more concerned was the scorching gaze from around him.The loli knight named Pallanti has been staring at the foil sword on his waist since he set off.

Luther died so unjustly that everyone only noticed his silver-level strength, but did not discover his real secret.Only El, who has experienced it personally, knows that most of this guy's strength depends on this foil sword.As far as his physical fitness is concerned, he can barely meet the silver standard, and the swordsmanship he has learned is too flashy. Only this sword is powerful enough to threaten opponents of the same level.

If it wasn't for El's fast enough speed and the ability to quickly regenerate through the life rune, he wouldn't be able to withstand a few rounds in front of his sword.According to Master Powell, who was peeking from the side at the time, this foil sword was not only equipped with a set of enchanting effects such as "armour-piercing", "sharp", "tearing", etc. The layer of blood is similar to the dragon's majesty, which shocks the soul. Only by slaughtering tens of thousands of lives can such a murderous weapon be bred.

When picking up the corpse, El saw that no one was paying attention, so he put away the sword and turned it into his own trophy with peace of mind.Even if this sword is not suitable for him, if he takes it back to Powell to cover up his appearance, it will probably sell for a good price on the black market.Running around in the middle of the night with these soldiers and lords is not a waste of hard work. Apart from Pross' verbal promises, he still has to earn some real money.

While secretly delighted, El ignored a problem. Although this lightweight foil sword was not attractive to other knights, it was of the same type as the rapier used by Pallanti.Although the strength of the loli knight is close to that of silver, but as a girl and young, her physical fitness is naturally weak, and the equipment and weapons she is equipped with are all light-weight.

"Uh...do you want this sword?" Feeling the burning eyes from behind again, El couldn't help asking tentatively, but Pallanti immediately turned her head away and gave him a big back of the head.El closed his mouth in embarrassment and drove the horse forward, and within a few seconds, he found that gaze turned around again.

Is this considered arrogant?El couldn't help slandering in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak out.Lolita Knight's skillful sex technique left a deep impression on him, and now thinking about it makes his butt feel cold.If possible, he would say nothing to offend this young lady.

"Well, Pallanti, if you like it, I'll give it to you." El secretly wiped off a cold sweat, and resolutely untied the foil from his waist and handed it out.

"This is your trophy, I don't want it." Pallanti looked straight at the foil, but refused very simply.Although she tried her best to keep her face down and wanted to imitate Pross's expressionless face, in El's view, she now looked more like she was drooling and saying "Daddy said you can't take candy from strangers".

Can't laugh, must not laugh, El strained his face to forcefully control his expression, feeling the pity eyes from the surrounding black knights, he knew that these bitches were waiting to see his good show.If you say a wrong sentence at this time, not only will the loli knight secretly hold grudges, but you may also be accused of "molesting a young girl" in private by others, which will lead to a loss of personal prestige.

Feeding loli and cats must pay attention to methods, and the common trick is not to pat them casually.El has quite enough experience with the latter, so he also put on a business-like face and said coldly: "Your Excellency, Vice Captain, please do me a favor."

"You are the captain, you can give orders directly," Pallanti said.

"Well, now I ask everyone to obey my command unconditionally. You hold my saber and stand behind the formation. If you find any soldiers who don't obey the command...you can do it." After El finished speaking , and naturally handed the foil to Pallanti.

"Of order, sir." Pallanti did not refuse this time, and obediently took the sword and hugged it in his arms, the joyful smile on his face flashed away, and he narrowed his eyes and looked around.

The black-clothed knights who were eavesdropping suddenly changed their expressions, and pulled the unidentified cavalry of the city defense army away to avoid it.If El was only impressed by Pallanti's methods, then the ferocity of the Lolita Knights to these comrades-in-arms has become a psychological shadow.

"Stop!" El yelled, waving his hands violently, and the marching team suddenly paused.Pallanti repeated the order coldly, and some noisy soldiers immediately fell silent.Compared with El, who has just arrived, her prestige in the army is obviously higher.Paying a sword to get such a harvest can only be said to be a blessing in disguise.

"Those thieves have reunited." El jumped off the horse and observed the traces on the ground.He looked into the distance by the moonlight for a while, then turned around and asked, "Who knows where is ahead and what kind of terrain it is?"
