Chapter 19: Steel Infested by Chaos (1)
Star Falls on February 17, 832, the main city of Moldavia.
Joshua stood in the courtyard of the military camp with a expressionless face. In front of him were more than a dozen knights in armor, with their arms allegiances holding sword hands on their chests, which could be seen as the loyal knights of the Radcliffe family.
These knights all looked like they were in their twenties and thirties. They were just as strong as they were brave and had the courage and passion for struggle. But even so, they all felt an inexplicable tension and dry mouth under the calm eyes of their lords. The power in their minds invaded their spirits, causing the array of strong knights to shake slightly.
In fact, they all went to the battlefield and experienced the power of blood and fire, but what is more obvious is that for these knights, the warriors in front of them are even more terrifying than the battlefield.
The clouds rolled, the wind blew, and the gentle Michelle drifted down from the sky little by little. The cold wind that was already slightly slow in February was not as cold as a month ago. It gently blew between the cities, bringing warm signs.
And at this moment, Joshua spoke.
"There is a reason you are selected here."
He said calmly, his voice could not hear the emotion, but even so, most of the people present were obviously shocked, and only a few remained calm, and the warriors didn't care about such trivial matters. He stared at a young knight who did not tremble and continued: "You are all between twenty and thirty years old, and your strength has gone from the first to the middle level of silver. Do you know what this means?"
"We are young... and we are not low!"
The young knight, who seemed obviously very courageous, raised his hand and replied loudly to Joshua's question: "We have a potential to go further!"
"That's right. You've been selected to this point because you still have a further potential."
He nodded to the young knight with approval, but Joshua's expression turned serious and said, "But one thing is wrong, that is, your strength - your strength is too weak!"
Under these harsh words, everyone stood straight in an instant, and Joshua walked back and forth slowly in front of them, observing the expressions of these knights, he shook his head and said, "With your strength, I could fight twenty when the silver was high, and even if you were on the same side, I could not defeat me... You are all my knights. Don't you feel ashamed of this? Do you still want me to protect you?"
"No!"
The long-term education made these young knights turn red by this sentence, and their own sense of glory and shame made them intolerable. The knights stood straight and shouted loudly: "No, sir, this is the greatest shame!"
"It's good to know it's a shame, but it still cannot change the fact that you are very weak now."
Nodding slightly, Joshua was very satisfied with the reactions of these people.
They are all potential seeds picked out by soldiers from the fortress and city guards. They all have certain talents, but they are buried by their family background or other reasons. But this doesn't matter. On this disputed continent, as long as there is anger and unwillingness in their hearts and changes, their future will not be fixed and there is a possibility of further development - just give them a chance, there is no suspense in their strength.
And Joshua was able to give them this opportunity.
Thinking of this, the warrior said to everyone: "Thankfully, your weakness can be changed."
“…!!”
"Lorence, you are 33 years old this year, and your strength is mid-level silver. Due to your physical fitness, you cannot give birth to a sufficient fighting spirit that can be released. You can advance to the high-level silver, not to mention the golden realm. But this is not because you are not talented enough, but because you have been poor since childhood and your potential in your body has not been fully developed. You need to consider taking a low-level awakening potion and discovering the unexhausted power, so that you can break through to the high-level without any future problems."
"Blade, you are twenty-four years old this year, with a low-level silver level, young and strong ** power, but you can't sense the advancement to the middle-level silver level... Your problem is that your will is not pure enough, although you have courage, but you have no belief. You need to find a goal that can strive for and run through your whole heart, so that you can purify your will and sense the power in your body."
"Xilo, you..."
One by one, they pointed out the shortcomings and flaws of the Knights present. After Joshua finished speaking, he paused for a while, so that these guys had time to calm down and think about their problems.
"I see."
"I thought my limit was this, but I didn't expect it to be the reason."
“No one has ever told me this…”
The knights present seemed to have never experienced such detailed guidance. They have followed another knight since they were young and served as servants for him, learning every bit of fighting and training.
Being a servant to other knights will only get the most basic professor, but if there is no complete inheritance in the future, then you can only rely on exploration. All kinds of inheritance are in the hands of the nobles and major forces in the central region of the empire. Most of the lower knights can only rely on talent and instinct to hone their ** and advance. The younger knights do not understand the meaning of this detailed guidance. After hearing their own shortcomings, most of them will shine, and then excitedly begin to reflect on their daily shortcomings. However, those who are a little more mature understand how valuable this deep inner guidance is.
The knights present have reached the limit of strength that basic knowledge can reach, and Joshua's guidance can allow them to break through this limit!
Moreover, no lord would have learned about his knights and taught them to this point! Feeling this, their eyes couldn't help but feel a little wet, and their hands were trembling slightly, but then they strengthened their beliefs and became serious in their breath.
Looking at this scene with some relief, Joshua spoke again after a while.
"Inadequacy is visible, so it is easier to correct. As long as you are determined, your strength will soon usher in a breakthrough, but if you want to become stronger, it is not enough."
Joshua's voice was not loud, but because as soon as he spoke, the whole audience would be silent, so the knights could hear the voice of their lord: "After all, you all know the imperial training process, and there is no perfect training system... In this way, you can reach the peak of silver at most, but you will never advance to gold."
"gold?"
“It’s too far away…”
"impossible."
"Can we reach the golden realm, too?"
"That's not something that nobles are..."
Hearing this sentence, whispers came from the array, but then, they calmed down under the halo of fear of Joshua. The warrior looked around the knights who were nervous and excited and said seriously: "I gather you here today to teach you a complete training system."
"Steel armor breathing method."
Teaching the breathing method to these knights was something that Joshua had long thought about, but it was not until he destroyed the Time and Space Gate and fell asleep that he had time to summon the knights and screen talented people.
While teaching the group of talented and younger knights in front of him how to breathe at the rhythm, Joshua conceived the direction of the future in his mind. The number of breathing methods he knew was far greater than that of the royal secrets of some small countries in the eastern plains of the western mountains. Even big powers like the Northern Empire could not be compared with him in some aspects. After all, Joshua traveled through the era when the demons invaded and the whole nation was invaded. In that era when fighting could only survive, various excellent breathing methods were worthless at all and were spread at will.
"These people will become my guards, so what they need is strong endurance and strike resistance to keep up with my pace... And if you are on the fortress, you can consider the Rock Dragon Breathing Method that highlights explosive power and vitality."
Considering this problem, Joshua realized that the aura of a knight beside him was unstable and did not breathe at the rhythm he had given before, and was a little unhappy.
"Control your breathing and make them slower, open your pores, and you must learn to use your body to get oxygen, not just your nose and mouth - you are silver-level knights, not ordinary people who have no control over your body, so slow down the circulation of your organs and reduce the speed of blood circulation!"
He punched a knight in the chest. The hidden force emitted by Joshua made the guy with a somewhat unstable breathing rhythm immediately spit out all the gas in his lungs and his body bent into a bow. However, he immediately held back the pain under the gaze of his lord, stood up straight again, and then began to breathe smoothly according to the rhythm taught by the warrior, without any discomfort, and was extremely excited.
This is not because he is masochist, but because of this steel armor breathing method.
This is the inheritance of breathing law! For knights like them who are developing on the border, force is more important than money, and a complete set of knowledge inheritance is simply a priceless treasure!
——You know, with this, they can become independent little nobles, and they are the kind of knight family with inheritance, which is enough to be a small lord in a remote area and live a peaceful and stable life for the rest of their lives!
The Lord of the Lord not only has unparalleled force, but also has such a generous heart that he is willing to teach them this kind of thing for free...
This adult deserves allegiance.
"That's it, spit out the breath of the lungs completely, and then inhale the air at this rhythm--your bodies will resonate with the power between heaven and earth at this rhythm, rather than being as stagnant as a pool of stagnant water, no difference from a piece of wood."
He didn't care about the knights' thoughts. The warrior nodded with satisfaction as everyone was trying to learn to breathe.
Just as Joshua taught the group of knights under his command to practice steel armor breathing, an older city guard quickly walked into the barracks. After saluting respectfully to the warriors and receiving a gesture, he whispered to Joshua: "Sir, there is an old woman outside the city who wants to visit you. The old man seems to be a mage and has a great strength."
"Visit? Or a mage?"
After pondering, although Joshua didn't know which mage would visit him, since he was a mage, there was indeed a need to see him. In this uninhabited place in the North, the caster is indeed rare.
"You go and take them to my residence in the west of the city, and I will arrive later."
