Ryan raised his hand and fired three arrows, shooting down three figures one after another.

"Snapped"

The trembling sound of the bowstring came, and Ryan's mind jumped violently. He was about to dodge, but he saw a string of sparks flashing away in the air.

In a blink of an eye, he realized that it was Aisen who had blocked the arrow. Ryan couldn't help but feel generous. He was still very smart, and he could still be so accurate in such a dark environment.

He wouldn't be able to do this if he didn't rely on Yuanli.

With just this delay, the remaining archers had fled in an instant.

Everyone spent the night in a panic, fearing that the archers would come back again, so thousands of people squatted on the city wall all night.

It wasn't until dawn broke that Aisen relaxed and ordered the frightened soldiers to clean up the messy city wall.

Dozens of corpses were laid out on the city wall, with blood and brains splattered everywhere. Even the soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles couldn't help but feel their stomachs churn.

Eisen pulled out an arrow from the ground, which was still stained with disgusting brain tissue residue. The arrow was different from the common style, about one meter long and weighed more than two pounds (about one kilogram).

This was the arrow shot by the opponent's sharp archer. Aisen looked at the magic eye mark on the arrow with a solemn expression, and couldn't help feeling dazed for a while.

A few years ago, he also saw an arrow like this!

Ryan stepped forward with a very ugly expression on his face. He could shoot a two-pound arrow up from the city three or four hundred meters away and embed it so deeply into the masonry. The strength of that man was simply unimaginable.

"He's here." Eisen's tone was more serious than ever.

"You mean, the bastard who killed my father?" Ryan turned around and gritted his teeth.

Eisen nodded lonely and took out a blood-stained arrowhead from his pocket, with a magic eye pattern engraved on it.

"Remember this mark, Lei." He handed the arrow to Ryan, his tone extremely serious.

After taking the heavy arrow, the dark red blood deeply hurt Ryan's heart. It was the blood that took away his father's life!

"Teacher, are you still unwilling to tell me who he is?" Holding the arrow tightly in his hand, Ryan said in a hoarse voice.

"I can't tell you yet, Lei, he is stronger than before. A master archer at the level of a great knight, you are far from his opponent." Eisen looked into the distance, his eyes full of high-spirited fighting spirit.

…

The next morning, Ryan came to the castle in Chelsea. He was a little confused and didn't know what was going on.

Chelsea was still dressed in luxurious clothes, but his resolute face was obviously a bit haggard. Ryan's heart suddenly "thumped", and he probably knew what he was doing.

"Salute to you, Guardian of the Border, [Linton's Eagle]... Viscount Chelsea."

Chelsea seemed very happy to see Ryan's arrival. He asked Ryan to sit down and said, "Lei, you're welcome. I've called you here to inform you of a few things."

He stood up, took out some pieces of parchment and said, "The king has come to reply with a letter about the results of your meritorious service."

Ryan looked overjoyed. Chelsea had said he would get a reply soon, but he didn't expect there would be no news after waiting for so long. He was still worried that something had happened.

"His Majesty has recognized your performance on the battlefield. We will erect a stone tablet at the border of the kingdom and engrave the names of ten heroes, including you, on it.

Then there is the edict regarding your title. His Majesty has decided to canonize you as a baron and will immediately rush back to the capital to attend the canonization ceremony." Chelsea said with a smile.

"Immediately? Your Excellency Viscount, won't the canonization ceremony wait until the war is over?" Ryan was a little surprised. Although he speculated that the war would end in a month or two, he did not expect it to be so soon.

Chelsea turned around, sighed deeply and said: "The war is about to end. The marshal has given an order. The kingdom's 130,000 expeditionary troops will gradually evacuate in the next month.

All the occupied cities will be abandoned and returned to the kingdom's mainland."

"Have we really reached this point?" Ryan sighed. What he said to Allen that day came true. War, what is this war for?

The king gave an order, and hundreds of thousands of troops went on an expedition to the snowy plains. They fought bloody battles for four years, and tens of thousands of people were buried in foreign lands. But what did they get? A lot of treasures and rare resources were obtained.

But is it worth it...

"Yes, our legion will be scheduled in one month. Bana City is an important town and we cannot give up too early." Chelsea reluctantly smiled and said:

"But before that, we need to send back the resources we plundered during this period. Sir Eisen and I discussed it and decided to let you escort us back to Shuofeng Fortress in the kingdom. It just so happens that you have to attend the canonization ceremony, so it's just a way of doing it.

"

"Is this what the instructor meant?" If it had been in the past, he would have been ecstatic to agree if he knew he could leave early, but after last night's incident, he didn't want to leave at this time.

"Yes, that's what Sir Eisen meant, and it's also what I meant. After all, who else is more suitable than the famous [Eagle Eye Knight]?

Oh, by the way, there is something I forgot to tell you. Although I don’t know where your Majesty will place your fiefdom, I have received news that Your Majesty will give you the Sword of the Pioneer."

There was a sparkle in Chelsea's eyes. His ancestors had also received such a sword. It was the foundation of the entire Malton family!

"Sword of the Pioneer!" Ryan looked bitter, feeling that his future was gloomy.

"What's your expression? Don't you know what a great honor this is?" Chelsea was unhappy. Why did this kid look like he had suffered a big loss?

"Knowing a few things, but just knowing a few things is enough to make people despair. The family of the owner of the Sword of the Pioneer will always guard the borders of the kingdom. If you advance, you will open up territory for the kingdom. If you retreat, you will be the first to protect the kingdom.

A barrier.

But don't you look at the small arms and legs of the Black family. Even if we drag my old butler along, we can't form a large team.

The border is so dangerous. The north has just finished fighting the Andis. The west is facing the orcs. The south is also facing the orcs and the monsters from the Warcraft Mountains. Even the east is full of mermaids and sea monsters. I can't get involved anywhere.

It fits."

Ryan shrugged helplessly and found a place to sit down. During this time, he had become very casual in front of Chelsea.

Protecting the kingdom and opening up territories are what the great nobles do. Besides, the Sword of the Pioneer is not as valuable as it used to be. What's the use of that thing? It's not as practical as Dele's.

After hearing this, Chelsea laughed and said mysteriously: "You know a little bit, but not much. The privileges represented by the Sword of the Pioneers are unimaginable to you. Just like now, I can tell you something that is very important to you."

A privilege that goes a long way.”

"Privileges?" Ryan suddenly became energetic. No matter what world he is in, privileges are always something to look forward to.

"Yes, according to the laws of the kingdom, the first owner of the Pioneer Sword has the right to recruit. He can recruit a certain number of soldiers, including knights and magicians, from the kingdom's active military personnel!"
