Chapter 17

He opened the system.

[Do you want to start the Word Simulation? For every year of simulation, 5 Destiny Points will be consumed.]

“Yes, one year.”

[Jinlun Calendar Year 473, 7th of December. You subdued two Grade 1 knights. On the way back, you encountered a phenomenon. Rylei’s appearance attracted the snow elf that happened to condense that night. Congratulations.]

[December 9th, on the way to Dama Town with the caravan led by Rylei, they encountered a late-stage Class 1 Flame Lion and killed it.]

[December 11th, after the transaction in Dama Town was completed, Kerina seemed to be interested in Rylei and gave him a gift. Rylei politely invited her to come over as a guest when she had the time. She agreed and agreed to meet in February next year.]

[December 20th, Rylei arrived at Moonlight City and successfully completed the exchange of water-element magic plant seeds.]

[December 21st, not long after the caravan left Moonlight City, they were attacked by a group of bandits. Tucker fell into a coma, Rylei and Kurts were slightly injured, and apprentice knights Miguel and Tru were sacrificed.]

[December 30th, the caravan returned. After a checkup, Rylei and Kurts are fine. Tucker lost his combat aura cultivation and has never recovered since.]

[Jinlun Calendar Year 474, January 3rd, a Class 2 Iron-Horned Sheep and a Class 2 Flame Hound engaged in a fierce battle beside the Sun Lake on the west side of your territory. In the end, both sides suffered heavy losses. You had been lying in ambush nearby for a long time and finally reaped the benefits.]

[On January 8th, a traveling merchant came to your territory. You bought some healing potions from him.]

[On January 15th, as the caravan leaked the news of your recovery, the news spread. Roy of Maple Forest Town came to visit you and gave you a bottle of Red Maple Potion. He even proposed to arrange a marriage for your two families, but you rejected him.]

[July 12th, you were ambushed by an unidentified knight. You severely injured him and he fled.]

[On August 9, a Class 3 Thunder Armor Bear appeared in your territory. Due to advance preparations, you evacuated the territory personnel. In the end, there were no casualties, but your territory suffered a destructive blow.]

[On August 15th, an evil alchemist passed by your territory. Facing the strength of a Grade 3 mage, you were powerless to resist. After a few moves, you were severely injured. You wanted to escape, but in the end, you died under a Shadow Arrow.]

He died again!

Reiter sighed, then frowned deeply.

He was not surprised that he still did not break through Grade 3 in the simulation. After all, it did not take into account that he also had a simulator in the simulation and developed like a normal person.

Otherwise, wouldn’t the simulator become an infinite nesting doll? Therefore, he could not use [Real Simulation] to increase his mental strength and increase his level as a mage.

He now knew very well that [Word Simulation] was only an auxiliary skill. The most important thing was to capture future information and help him obtain vision.

But this time, the results of the simulation were a little tragic.

Not only did Tucker become a cripple, but Rylei’s other subordinates also suffered heavy casualties. He only had a few apprentice knights under him, and two of them died at once. Moreover, his territory had been destroyed by the Thunder Armor Bear, and he had been killed by a Grade 3 mage who had suddenly appeared. This Grade 3 mage was especially strange.

Due to the lack of any effective clues, it was impossible to investigate the identity of this mage.

“I need to adjust my strategy.” Under the light, Reiter muttered with his deep eyes.

The next day, early morning.

After breakfast, Reiter left the castle and went to the manor. He stepped on the hard stone path and listened to the cold winter wind as he went to the Knight Training Ground.

Reiter wasn’t in a hurry to look for Rylei and talk about the caravan. He planned to wait until tomorrow to see who the caravan included and what kind of combat strength they had under normal circumstances.

As he approached, he saw more than ten figures moving in the distance.

Due to last night’s instructions, the knight escort team had already assembled. Under Kurts’ lead, they started their warm-up exercises. It included simple running, weight training, stretching, and so on.

After watching for a while, Reiter realized that there was more sword training, blocking training, small movements, and so on. They could not be said to be very profound. They were all extremely practical techniques summarized from rich combat experience.

He could not help but sigh. As expected of an experienced mercenary, his combat skills were quite good.

In short, it was a hundred times more effective than Tucker’s teaching.

After a while, Reiter only heard Kurts shouting a few times from afar. Then, these apprentice knights gathered together and ran in all directions. Sometimes, they raised their swords and slashed. Sometimes, they raised their shields to block. Sometimes, they collided with each other. There were many changes.

“They should be practicing battle formations. However, they look very low-level. They’re not as formal as the army, but they’re more agile and changeable.”

Reiter commented as he watched. He was not a knight, so he naturally had not participated in battle formation drills. However, he had been in the army for many years, so he definitely had a certain understanding of this. This included the techniques he had seen from Kurts just now. It was also because he had gained more knowledge in the army that he could see that it was extraordinary.

However, after watching for a while, Reiter realized a problem. The manor did not seem to have enough territory.

In the past, because the number of knights in the territory was relatively small, there was no construction of an outer castle field. The training ground was divided into the inner castle field of the castle, which was the current manor.

In fact, under normal circumstances, it was only reasonable for the Knights’ Training Ground to be divided into outer forts.

After all, Knight’s training was not like the gym training in his previous life. It required frequent running positions, battles, practicing battle techniques, and so on.

Therefore, it was important to give them enough space. Otherwise, they might destroy the construction facilities of the manor or injure the servants.

Suddenly, Kurts gave a command from afar and ran to the other end with an apprentice knight, as if he was going to train elsewhere.

Only Tardell was left sitting on the edge of the training ground. Reiter waved his hand. Tardell, who had been sitting idly, had already noticed Reiter’s direction. He immediately got up and jogged over. One of his arms was still wrapped in gauze, and a strap hung around his neck.

“Good morning, my lord.”

Reiter nodded and said, “It’s been hard on you to wake up so early. Did you get used to sleeping last night?”

“Haha, of course I’m used to it. In the past, I’ve experienced many harsh environments. Sometimes, in order to deal with crises, I even slept in a smelly puddle. It’s much more comfortable to sleep in your castle. Moreover, working for the Lord is my responsibility. I don’t feel wronged.” Tardell quickly entered his identity and said righteously.

“How’s your injury? How are you feeling now?” Reiter smiled and changed the topic.

Tardell moved his fractured arm and raised his eyebrows. “Excellent. Sir, the potion you gave me last night was indeed powerful. After a night, the pain has mostly subsided. I reckon that in less than a week, my injuries will recover.”

“It’s normal. This is a very popular solid medicine in the army. I hope your injuries can heal as soon as possible. Also, compared to yesterday, your complexion is indeed much better. I’m planning to build an outer fort field to be used as a training ground for knights. What do you think?”

“Sir, you’re indeed worthy of being on the front line. Your observation is quite sharp.” Tardell’s eyes lit up. He flattered him and continued, “The current venue is indeed a little limited. We can’t let go of training. If we build an outer fort field, it will definitely satisfy our needs. I think your decision is excellent, Sir!”

Tardell gave him a thumbs-up. He spared no effort in flattery, even for a small matter. He wanted to increase his weight in the Lord Ruler’s heart as soon as possible.
