The First Thousand and Ninety Chapters only Strive for the First
The spring hunting location is in the royal hunting ground north of the imperial capital, where there are vast primeval forests, more than a dozen scenic lakes, hills, valleys, and the Silver Winter Mountains connecting the Mountain of Dawn. Four days after Allen was awarded the honor, the camp at the entrance of the hunting ground forest suddenly became lively. Crowds poured into the open space of the camp, and after a while, tents were set up one after another. Shields with different symbols and crossed spears were used as supports, and were placed at the entrance of the tents. Long triangular silk battle flags were erected. Under the tent, fluttering in the wind.
The long sword made of fine steel and the gold-plated spurs refracted the sunlight, and the horns at the entrance of the camp sounded frequently, and people and horses kept pouring in.
According to the usual practice, Spring Hunting will be held for three consecutive days. Participating is not limited to princes, royal nobles and officials' children, as long as they are under 25 years old and over 13 years old are eligible to enter. Even though this spring hunting was not related to the assessment of the crown prince, the hunting grounds in previous years were full of competition. This is also an opportunity to show the strength of the family to others, so every spring hunting, there are quite a few teams that sign up to participate.
Even more so this year.
In the tent of the second prince, Julian was wearing silver and white light armor and a cloak of the same color, but he looked good. It's just that Julian's combat power is mediocre, and entering the arena to participate is just a formality. To achieve good results in this spring hunting, or even win the championship, other members of the team are needed. At this time, other members of Julian's team got into the camp one after another, led by Alan who was wearing a battle suit and reverse scale armor inside. Today, his battle clothes are simple, with the Scarlet King on his back, and the devil's praise hidden behind his waist, so he goes into battle lightly.
Then Regis, Laura, Fares, Nelly, Adele and others filed in. In addition to these few people, there are three strange faces. Walking in the front was a man with vigorous movements and a calm demeanor. The man's brown hair was casually disheveled, his face was covered with a beard, and his body was covered with a half-body armor made of brass. A short cloak hanging down obliquely covered the right side of his body. He carried a round shield on his back and a long sword hanging from his waist. Holding the sword hilt with one hand, he walked up to Julian and bowed respectfully, then retreated to the left.
When looking at Allen, his gaze dropped slightly, and he nodded as a greeting.
Then a short, middle-aged man walked in. He was only as tall as Allen's chest, but his waist was as thick as a barrel, especially his shoulders were much wider than normal men. The man's hair is all braided into braids with colorful knots. He has a big beard that reaches to his chest, and wears thick plate armor. He was carrying a tomahawk with a dark red blade, and when he saw Julian he grinned, showing a mouth full of yellow teeth, which was really unflattering.
The last one was handsome and extraordinary, with long blond and nearly white hair combed back meticulously, and a braid from the left and right sides to fix the hair. He was wearing light brown leather armor with many pockets, and many things were hidden inside. A dark green cloak was worn on the body, a hardwood longbow and a quiver were carried on the back of the cloak, and a dagger was hung on the side of the waist. It seemed that this person had certain attainments in both sword skills and archery.
Julian looked around at them all,
Gently pulled Allen and said, "Come on, let me introduce you." The second prince looked at the brown-haired man and said, "This is Mr. Berlin Duncan. Berlin is an excellent warrior. He is good at horse fighting. The next battle is also first-class. What's more rare is that his heart
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Thoughtful, he once served as the cavalry captain of the Bucks Army. The 22nd-level level was expected to jump to a higher level, but it's a pity..."
Julian didn't say what was a pity, but just patted the shoulder of the man named Berlin. The latter bowed to Allen and said, "It's an honor to work with you, Earl Allen."
After speaking, he stepped back.
Before Julian introduced him, the bearded man had already stepped forward: "You can call me Hu Gao, Earl. I don't know anything, but I can cut people!" He shook the battle ax in his hand and grinned laughing out loud.
"As he said, Hu Gao. A brave warrior from the mountain tribe, he is not afraid of anything, but he is afraid of not drinking." Julian laughed, and then pointed to the third person: "Ali, he is a generalist. He is skilled in archery, fencing is first-class, he is also a natural hunter, and no forest can make him lose his way. Besides, he is also a singer, poet, harpist, and the dream lover of many girls. "
Yali saluted Allen gracefully, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you should give this last title to Earl Allen. Under the glory of Earl Allen, I am nothing more than a clown. Now Oliska's Ladies and gentlemen, the earl is the one who talks the most."
"Oh, that's true, the demeanor of Earl Allen's award day, but even I feel ashamed." Julian made a joke, and then said seriously: "Okay, this spring hunting, I decided to let Allen The Earl is in charge. Everyone, including me, will obey the Earl's orders."
Hearing this sentence, both Berlin and Yali's faces flashed with surprise, only Gaohu still grinned and couldn't see any change. Julian coughed dryly and said to Allen: "What is the earl's plan, you can tell us now."
Allen nodded, looked at the crowd and said: "This spring hunting has only one purpose, and that is to win the championship. We want to rank first, and other places are not within the scope of consideration!"
"Just fight for the first place? I like this, count, just tell us what we're going to do!" Gao Hu clapped his big hands with his tomahawk and said excitedly.
"Before that, Mr. Rein had already told me the details of the Royal Spring Hunt. Every spring hunt uses a point system, and the points for different prey are also different. For three days of hunting, the one with the most points wins. But there is one thing , if any team can kill the fierce beast 'Jueying' in the Yindong Mountains and bring back its head, it will be unconditionally ranked first. So my plan is to directly enter the Yindong Mountains and kill Absolute Shadow!"
There was silence in the tent.
Jueying is naturally not a docile beast, on the contrary, it is almost the lord of the Yindong Mountain Range. It was a more terrifying beast than the wild elephant king in the depths of the hunting ground, so even though there were such regulations in spring hunting over the years, no one brought Jueying's head. Even Julian didn't expect Allen's plan to be so crazy, and he was speechless immediately.
In Allen's opinion, he even killed the Ice Wind of Aisha in Tallinn. A shadow of the Yindong Mountains shouldn't be more terrifying than the Ice Wind, right? Therefore, the feasibility of this plan is very high, depending on whether Julian can give it a go. At the same time, Edward suggested that he test Julian, so as to grasp the prince's temperament and bottom line, so that he can use more suitable auxiliary methods in cooperation in the future. Edward's arrangement is interlocking, highly interlocking like the cogs of a machine, Allen admits
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) His methods are very efficient, but they always give people a cold feeling.
Julian walked back and forth in the main tent, his eyebrows frowned. Obviously, Allen's decision exceeded his psychological expectations, and he was under invisible pressure at the moment. After a while, he let out a breath and smiled at Allen: "The earl's proposal is bold and crazy. Spring hunting has been held for so many years, but no one dares to think about that Jueying."
"Then what does His Highness mean?"
"As I said just now, all members of Spring Hunting will follow the earl's order this time, including me. If the earl thinks it is feasible, I don't mind taking such a gamble!" Julian said frankly.
Allen knew that it was not easy for him to make this decision, and Julian was not Howson. It is not surprising that the eldest prince who has fought on the front line would agree to this decision, but it is another matter for Julian, who has lived in the palace for a long time and is willing to take risks with his life. Of course, he wouldn't put Julian at risk. Otherwise, if there is something wrong with the second prince, even if Chun Shou wins the championship, it will be meaningless.
Now Allen will make arrangements.
During spring hunting over the years, participants can form hunting teams by themselves. Teams generally cannot exceed 30 people, and it is rare for someone to pull such a huge team into the arena. After all, a large number does not mean an advantage. Ten mediocre players are far inferior to one expert, unless they can directly attract an army, they will have an absolute advantage. Therefore, the participants will try their best to optimize the team. In addition to bringing Alan and other strong men this time, Julian also brought in the Silver Frost Iron Guards given to him by ten kings. Alan's final arrangement is led by Julian. Li and Berlin accompanied them, plus ten Silver Frost Iron Guards formed the first team.
This team is responsible for wandering and hunting in other areas of the hunting ground. Alan has no special requirements for this team, the only thing is to ensure Julian's safety. As for him and others, including Gaohu and Yali, they formed the second team. Their team will go deep into the hunting area and go to the Yindong Mountains to kill Jueying.
After making the detailed assignments, Allen gave the stage back to Julian. The second prince was about to say some words of encouragement, suddenly there was a burst of laughter outside the tent, and then someone broke into the tent, but it was the eldest prince Hao Sen. The two Iron Frost Iron Guards behind him hurriedly followed in, with helpless expressions on their faces, apparently unable to stop Hao Sen. Julian narrowed his eyes, and was very displeased with Hao Sen's trespassing behavior, but he didn't show it on the surface, he just smiled and said, "Brother is in a good mood, don't pay attention to the arrangement at this time, and you still have time to come and hang out with me." .”
Hao Sen said with a smile: "Is there anything to arrange, anyway, in the spring hunting over the years, I have not always been alone, and this year is no exception." He looked at Allen and said, "But this time, I'm not here to visit you, my second brother, but to bring an acquaintance to Earl Allen. According to him, you two are old friends who met early in the morning. I heard that you are here too. He's very excited."
Allen frowned slightly, unable to think of anyone who fit Howson's description.
The eldest prince raised his hands and clapped his hands. Someone from outside the tent came in and said, "Earl Allen, long time no see."
It was a familiar voice. Allen looked up, startled immediately, and whispered, "Is it you?"
The visitor smiles.
