Starting Life as a Baron - Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Using the Knight Training Acceleration Card!

“It’s great, My Lord. If we can have the blessing of the God of War, we will soon be able to have a powerful army!”

Marco spoke with excitement.

Alan smiled slightly. He maintained the elegant posture of a nobleman, and at the same time, he also maintained his calm appearance.

After all, he was a man who was watched by the gods. He couldn’t be too excited about such a small matter.

“Everyone gather! Lord Alan is going to bless you with the blessing of the God of War. I believe you have heard that you are not the first batch of warriors I have trained, nor are you the first batch to receive the blessing of the War God .”

“The first warriors have become excellent individual strong soldiers and the best of them have even become the sea cavalry.”

“Haha, the Sea Cavalry is powerful enough, right? Now, our kind and generous Lord Alan has decided to give all of you the blessing of the God of War. Why don’t you bastards hurry up and kneel to thank Lord Alan for his gift?!”

Marco spoke loudly to the soldiers.

“Thank you for your gift, My Lord!”

The five hundred warriors immediately knelt in front of Alan. They looked excited as they waited for Alan to cast the blessing of the God of War on them.

Alan smiled, took out ten warrior training acceleration cards, and activated them.

Soon, the soldiers were shocked and ecstatic.

“It’s true! The God of War’s blessing is real. Such an amazing power. I feel like I have become stronger and my memory has gotten better.”

“Oh, my God! I seem to have grown taller.”

“My strength has increased.”

The soldiers spoke excitedly.

Seeing their reaction, Marco knew that the God of War’s blessing had already taken effect. Although it was not the first time he had seen such a scene, Marco still could not help but be shocked.

Since Lord Alan had this kind of great power, his future must be unlimited.

Marco believed that Alan would definitely become a big shot in the future.

Then Alan encouraged the excited warriors in front of him and told Marco to continue their training.

Afterward, he made a trip to the training grounds, where the veterans were training, instead of returning to the castle.

Except for the twenty men from the sea cavalry, the rest of the warriors were here.

“My Lord!”

All of them bowed to Alan when they saw him.

“Well, I came here to tell you guys good news.”

Alan looked at the soldiers, who were kneeling on the ground, and smiled.

“As I said before, although you can’t become sea cavalry, you will still have countless opportunities to become stronger in the future, and now this opportunity has come.”

The faces of the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground instantly became happy upon hearing Alan’s words.

“My Lord! May I ask what this opportunity is?”

Someone bravely asked.

“A chance to become a knight, a chance to be my personal guard. Do you want it?”

Alan’s tone carried a hint of temptation.

“Become a knight!”

Everyone’s breathing instantly became heavy.

This was even more tempting than becoming a sea cavalry.

After all, a knight’s battle Qi was his own power. On the other hand, the power of a magical beast was not.

By the gods, what incredible power does the Lord have that can make people become knights?!

“We want this opportunity!”

Everyone shouted loudly.

“Very well, as with the selection of sea cavalry, I will give you one more chance to prove yourselves. There will be a total of ten places.”

Alan said loudly.

“Ten places!”

Everyone’s eyes became red because this meant that forty people would be eliminated.

However, they were instantly filled with fighting intent because this was a life-changing opportunity for them.

“First of all, you need to have superb martial arts, shooting skills, and sword skills to be a knight. So this time’s competition is divided into three parts: martial arts, the shooting technique, and the sword technique.”

Alan originally wanted them to have superb riding skills as well, but he knew that they were just ordinary warriors and they had not received much riding training.

That was why Alan excluded riding, but this did not mean that he did not care about riding. He was going to wait for the selection of men to end before they were strictly trained in riding.

He believed that they would soon become real experts with the Knight Training Acceleration Card.

Alan had his men bring some food and drinks, as well as tables and chairs from the castle. He sat on the chair and let the warriors compete in the swordplay.

Then, he casually found some targets to let them compete in shooting techniques.

Finally, ten people were selected and he directly used the Knight Training Acceleration Card.

As for those who had not been chosen, Alan also comforted them.

“Warriors that have not been chosen, you don’t need to be disappointed. Trust me, there will be more and more opportunities like this in the future. Just keep working hard.”

Alan’s words restored the morale of the eliminated warriors.

At this moment, the ten people who had been selected by Alan could clearly feel the changes in their bodies that were brought by the Knight Training Acceleration Card.

This was a much more drastic change than using the Warrior Training Acceleration Card.

“My body is so hot, it seems that something is about to appear in my body!”

“My body is starting to grow taller, and I have more muscles. It’s as if my entire body is filled with strength. I also feel as if something is being nurtured in my body!”

“Me too!”

Soon, the ten people selected by Alan showed that their bodies had begun to change.

Alan nodded with satisfaction. “You have received more blessings from the God of War by me. Soon, your bodies will produce battle Qi.”

After he finished speaking, he took out a booklet from his pocket.

“This is a primary battle Qi secret book. You can use it to practice. During this time, all of you have to train more. What I want is ten powerful and elite knights, so don’t let me down!”
