Fair competition?
No, modern warfare is about unconventional warfare, asymtrical combat.
Hence, this created the biggest doubt for Black Knight Sasar before he died. When he saw the rcenaries swarming in and plunging their flashing blades into his chest, he died with his eyes open: How could he refuse? Was he still a knight?
The Undead Army had already been utterly defeated.
Brand reined in his horse to have it trot a few steps and then stopped, turning his horse around to see everyone else looking at him with a strange eye. It’s no wonder, after all, in this world, as a knight, refusing a challenge is indeed considered a great transgression. Although these rcenaries have rich combat experience, they are inevitably influenced by secular views.
But he raised his sword and said to the others, "You might wonder why I didn’t accept his challenge, but actually the reason is very simple. A challenge between knights stems from mutual respect among nobles, not from a fraudulent mind to initiate a sacred challenge. This is a desecration of the knight code."
He continued, "As for why I say this, you should think it over yourself."
Everyone suddenly understood, yet Reto and Fulong Tower still felt sowhat puzzled. Brand looked at their expressions and continued, "Of course, these are all nonsense. To put it crudely, I simply don’t participate in bets without stakes—"
This statent clearly pleased these rcenaries, and many couldn’t help but loudly cheer, especially Mano who kept nodding his head, almost believing Brand to be his soulmate. However, the young man turned around to see Renault still had doubts, but he understood that he could only explain this much, saying more would be covering up.
In fact, he didn’t need to cover up. This night was so pressing that he didn’t have ti to organize everything one by one. Just like now, he imdiately made a gesture to clean up the battlefield—telling everyone to quickly pick up spoils of war and clean up the battlefield, while he himself jumped off the horse and walked to the corpses of Sasar and the few Black Knights.
It’s ti to collect the rewards—
The three Black Knights, besides the armor next to the body and so small items they carried, had long since been burned from the inside out into a pile of white ash. These things looked disgusting, but in Brand’s eyes as a ’player’, they equated to spoils of war.
He kicked away the empty chest armor—the Black Knights were tall, their armor would have to be reforged to fit humans, so this thing was now worthless in his eyes. But his target wasn’t this, but the magical items the Black Knights might carry.
Unfortunately, the harvest wasn’t great. He only found a Secondary Snake-shaped Ring with a rarity of ’Black Iron’ in one of the remains, which in this world is known as an alchemy item, 0.1 dexterity, barely better than nothing.
But Brand wasn’t discouraged, his biggest goal on this trip wasn’t these three Black Knights, they were just appetizers. Any gain was enough to be thankful for. In fact, his biggest target was that Black Knight, an elite biological with over twenty levels.
Brand walked towards Sasar. The Black Knight’s half armor was suitable for him, but unfortunately, those rcenaries didn’t know how to cherish it, making several gashes in the chest armor. Seeing this, Brand couldn’t help but curse, these guys didn’t know how to consider their commander at all—compared to Frey, the Civilian Commander, he, as the Knight Commander, didn’t have any armor available.
But cursing aside, Brand still squatted down and opened the opponent’s waist pouch. He first looked in the waist pouch because generally, most spare magical items and magical talismans are placed in this place.
Brand’s experience didn’t fail him; he indeed found a snake-shaped statue and three magical talismans there. Magical talismans are good items. It’s said that they were originally mysterious items created by male witches in the Vorn’s Northern Ice Forests. As long as you carry them, you naturally gain good luck—
But this magical item manufacturing technique gradually spread out after the Three Hills Year, becoming an important magical item manufacturing technique. In the ga, every magical talisman is necessarily of ’Bronze’ rarity or higher because they have an important trait of not being restricted by the total number of magical items carried—just like these three in Brand’s hand.
