Age of Empires From Scratch Chapter 104

  Chapter 104 David also hits ten

  Sutton Stewart looked at the young man who drew a long gun from the weapon rack, kept looking at it, and weighed it a few times from time to time, wondering if the other party really understood what he meant.

   At the beginning, Sutton Stewart didn't take David too seriously, but just regarded him as a new toy similar to those people he met in the past.

  Even though David and Sharon sternly rejected the deal he proposed, he didn't take it too seriously.

  Anyway, he is very free and has enough time, and David wants to upgrade his village, and the time he stays in Wangcheng will not be too short. He has a lot of time to play with each other slowly.

  He firmly believes that he will still win in the end, because he will only gain joy and will not lose anything.

  Even if he gave David everything he wanted, he just said a few words, so what can he lose? Nothing is lost.

  But this plan had to be abandoned when Bellam found himself.

  Belam took a fancy to Lindong Village, the most remote new town in the Tilan Kingdom. He hoped to take this new town, and then gradually radiate his power to the entire northern part of the Tilan Kingdom.

   Sounds like a good plan, at least much more reliable than the initial drastic ideas.

  So Earl Stewart asked David to attend the party with him, and when most of the nobles and their children in the royal city were present, he proposed to make Cold Winter Town the fiefdom of Princess Sophia.

  Through Princess Sophia, those young nobles were provoked to question David's ability and challenge the young village chief.

  As long as David defeats these challengers and proves his strength, then he can be granted the title of knight, the real mayor of Cold Winter Town, and the real nobleman of Tilan Kingdom.

  As for David's strength... From the first meeting, Earl Stewart realized that this young man named David is very confident in his own strength.

   Therefore, he was very curious about how strong David was? Or, the self-confidence and fearlessness he displayed were simply due to the ignorance of the country bumpkin?

   "Your opponent, Jeremy Baker, is not yet an official knight, but he has received training from the Tiran Knights."

  The martial prowess of the Kingdom of Tilan is not based on boasting. The nobles have more or less received various trainings when they were young. Many members of the Tilan Knights are the children of the nobles of the royal capital.

   "I see." David, who chose a long gun from the weapon rack, was also looking at his opponent, the young man named Jeremy Baker.

  With the help of his attendants, Jeremy put on a full set of armor and drew two swords from the weapon rack.

  Holds a standard long sword in his right hand, and a short sword in his left hand.

  Standard knight weapon skills include long and short sword swordsmanship, and short sword swordsmanship is a compulsory course, which is mainly used when the main weapon is difficult to use in a small space.

  The swordsmanship combined with long and short swords is very suitable for one-on-one duels, and the short sword can have a surprising effect, and even complete a critical fatal blow.

  But there is no way for everyone to appreciate these.

  The two young men picked up their weapons and stood in the arena. The surrounding dignitaries were still guessing how long it would take for the third son of the Baker family to defeat this countryman from the north. The battle in the arena was over.

  The long sword has fallen to the side, and the sharp spear head is firmly in front of Jeremy Baker's neck. As long as it is a little further forward, a hole can be pierced in it.

  The faint coolness coming from his neck made Jeremy Baker dare not breathe hard. When he swallowed, he was worried that his neck would rise and fall too much, so that he would be cut open by the spear.

  The spear was taken back by David, and it was casually placed on his shoulder.

  From the beginning to the end, David has a relaxed smile. In Jeremy's eyes, this smile is incomprehensible, stupid, and ignorant.

   But now it seems that stupid and ignorant seem to be describing himself. This person may have been laughing at himself from the beginning, but he doesn't have the courage to continue fighting the opponent.

Although Jeremy hadn't completed all the training and became a qualified knight, those trainings had broadened his vision and knowledge. Even if he only touched the opponent with a long sword once, he still noticed how big the difference in strength was between the two sides. So he decisively chose to admit defeat.

   "Your Excellency is very strong, I lost this competition."

   Throwing the dagger still in his hand to the ground, Jeremy Baker knelt down on one knee very formally, put his right hand on his chest and bowed his head slightly, and saluted David.

   Then he got up and returned to the crowd. With the help of his servants, he took off the armor that had just been put on and hadn't been warmed up.

"This young man from the Baker family is straightforward." David didn't expect that the opponent would choose to admit defeat so simply. He thought that the opponent would continue to attack and stalk for a while before giving up. He was ready to play. Think about it for a while, and show the huge gap in strength between yourself and the opponent.

   "However, according to Stewart, I don't have to worry about not having an opponent at all."

   Glancing back at Earl Stewart, the earl seemed a little surprised by his own performance, and at the same time showed a little bit of surprise, applauding himself, as if to cheer himself up and let himself continue to work hard.

David guessed right. Earl Stewart did not expect David to perform so well. He expected that David might be good, but this performance still exceeded his expectations. At the same time, he also found that David did understand that he had previously The true meaning of those words.

   "Show the strength worthy of your status...similarly, when you show your strength, you will get a higher status."

  The Kingdom of Tilan advocates bravery, and the positive and open environment has given young people like David a chance, and the current king, Abelson Tilan, is a king who likes to reuse outstanding talents.

  If it weren't for these prerequisites, Earl Stewart would not have done these things. Even if he wanted to plan Cold Winter Town, he would have changed his method!

   "However, if you perform too well, it seems that it is not a good thing for me..."

  Earl Stewart, who was originally happy to watch, realized that David's strength seemed to be too strong. He had to adjust his follow-up plan, otherwise it would be easy to get out of control.

  Earl Stewart was thinking, and His Majesty King Abelson of Tyran was also thinking.

  He hasn't figured out what his brother-in-law is going to do? But David is undoubtedly an outstanding young man. After he became interested in this young man from the bottom of his heart, he ignored another nobleman who stepped into the field, but turned his head and gave some instructions to the attendants beside him. Sentence, and then turned back and continued to look at the field.

   "Wow~"

   At the same time His Majesty the King turned his head, he clearly saw David use the barrel of the spear to overturn the opponent, and then turned the spear around, and pressed the blade of the spear against the throat of the man who had fallen to the ground.

"Amazing!"

  Before he had time to listen to the explanation of the knight beside him and let him understand what happened just now, his daughter's exclamation came from beside him.

  Turning his head in the direction of his daughter, he found that his little daughter was staring at the field with glowing eyes.

  He understands what his daughter's reaction means, and he doesn't know what to do. Talk to her mother about it later!

   Next, His Majesty the King wants to appreciate this young man's performance.

   Obviously, this young man named David, who comes from the north of Iron Tree Fort and is currently the most remote area in the Kingdom of Tilan, has very good strength.

   "What do you think of his strength?"

   "This young man's strength is very good, Your Majesty!" His Majesty's personal guard knight replied: "Although the two defeated by him are not official knights, they are receiving the training of knights taught by the Tilan Knights."

   "So, this young man has the strength to be a knight?"

   "It's like this, Your Majesty." The guard knight seemed to want to say something, but after thinking about his identity, he swallowed all the extra words.

  He felt that it was impossible for ordinary young people in the countryside to have such powerful force, and he had doubts about David's identity. But if you think about it carefully, His Majesty the King cannot fail to think of things that he can think of, and his duty is not to advise His Majesty the King.

   "Oh~"

There were exclamations from around again. This time, the opponent who came down was defeated faster. This young man named Frankie Hutton may have wanted to take advantage of his physical strength. He didn't even change his armor. The long sword went straight to the field holding the shield, and was knocked down to the ground by David in the next second.

  Three consecutive battles, David's breathing is still steady.

  Including Frankie Hutton, the three young people finally admitted that they had lost, and knelt on one knee before returning to the crowd.

  David was enjoying the baptism of the eyes of people around him with various emotions, while secretly wondering: The Kingdom of Tilan advocates martial arts so much? Did I choose the most correct development route by mistake?

  No matter what attitude these noble children had when they jumped out, they were very graceful when they finally conceded, and they didn't stalk them endlessly. The tutors of these nobles were pretty good.

  Of course, it is also possible that His Majesty the King is watching. These young people can only hold back no matter how upset they are. After all, they represent not only themselves, but the entire family at this time.

"Next, someone with more strength should appear on the stage, right?" Looking at the people around him, David felt that those who are strong enough to win the fruits of victory at the last moment should not continue to watch. But ready to end.

   But he didn't expect that the opponent he was waiting for was no longer the noble children around him, but a knight in the Tiran Knights.

   "The Knights of Tiran teach knights, Freud!"
