Chapter 174 Josiah's Transformation
Bran's winter this year is particularly long. Although the temperature has slipped from the coldest tops by now, the cold frost wind and drizzling rain from time to time tell the world that spring is still far away!
And not only the climate, but sometimes the hearts of the people in the north will be cool... This kind of worry mainly comes from the front line. In nearly two months, the battles that took place there have been basically known.
The attack of the Northern Wilderness tribe was obviously not like the previous years of the autumn wind, and they plundered some food and left. They started to radiate and advance quickly from occupying the first level. Relying on their strong military strength, they quickly attacked some surrounding levels and small cities. For these towns, the barbarians in previous years usually plundered them and destroyed them directly. But now they have sent people to defend themselves, and even captured prisoners of the people to build high city walls. The occupied places were connected in a series, forming a semi-ring line.
By this time, everyone knew that the barbarians had a great goal. This situation had risen to a formal war between the two countries.
This kind of war naturally existed before, and it was not short. The longest recorded time was more than ten years ago, and the war lasted for more than three years. The two sides fought in the north with darkness and blood flowing into a river, and finally ended with the sudden retreat of the Northern Wilderness tribe. Later, the people of Bran realized that it was because the leader of the Northern Wilderness royal family, the Tianlang clan, died.
The people don’t know how long this battle will last, but one thing is confirmed, their days will be more sad and dangerous...
...
Of course, these news had little to do with Tang En, who was about to arrive at the resident.
Several carriages were swaying on the mountain road for two and a half days. Tang En finally suffered the itchy and painful feeling of the initial healing of the wound, and the next thing was to rest for a few days and slowly recuperate.
Tang En's current situation is undoubtedly much better than that of Bowes, who lives in the treatment hall. The other party is still changing gauze, looking at the wound, and calculating the date of leaving the hall with his fingers.
If Tang En's current perverted physique is apart, the main reason for this is blood and energy. Powells' domineering fighting spirit enters his body, and in just a moment, it will be neutralized by the consumed blood and energy. But Tang En's blood and energy invades the inside, which will cause Bowis and the others to suffer. This thing can only be driven out of the body with fighting spirit, but once the fighting spirit is used, the external gauze will explode, and then the wound that has just healed will also collapse... The treatment of Powells and the others a few days ago was like going back and forth in purgatory, and it was in pain!
"After passing this mountain, you'll almost arrive?" David turned to ask, looking at the increasingly familiar mountains.
"Yeah!" Mishe nodded, controlling the reins, letting the horses go around the stones in the road.
The mountain road is rugged and the stones rolling down from time to time makes it very inconvenient to drive the carriage.
David sighed when he heard this: "What a pity, my boys have not trained enough."
"Haha!" Mishe suddenly chuckled twice and curled his lips, "It's useless to train."
"Your mother, what do you mean?" David suddenly became furious and shouted against Mithur's face.
"Nothing interesting." Mishe remained unmoved and said lightly, "Our team won yesterday's competition."
"Bah, you're so embarrassed to say it." David's forehead stormed with blue veins and turned his head disdainfully, "You just stepped on the shit, and the bandits we encountered were much larger."
"Luck is also a kind of strength...but I understand that losers always like to find various reasons to hide their incompetence."
"…Mishew, your uncle!"
"My uncle is dead long ago."
“…”
Listening to the scolding outside that kept raising their voices, Joshia in the car blinked uneasyly: "Dang, there will be nothing wrong with this... will they fight?"
Tang En, who was closing his eyes to rest, curled his lips slightly, opened his eyes and smiled, "Don't worry, I won't. Besides, it's not a bad thing to fight."
"Uh?" Joshia opened her mouth slightly, then frowned, "You are their boss, why do you say that."
"Body competition is not a bad thing." Tang En explained, "You don't know David's character. Didn't you even shout that Mishe, who was still trying to break up with the villain, and today he was the one who took the initiative to speak?"
"Ha, it's true." Joshia pursed the corner of her lips, thinking about David who was furious yesterday, and couldn't help laughing.
The battle to block the cavalry in Riva City was the first time that the Gray Space Team used team cooperation in practice, but the result was not bad, and it was a small test.
After leaving the city, Tang En took the opportunity to divide the newly joined team into two teams and officially belonged to David and Mishew.
The newly formed team naturally needs to be adjusted and let the team members find their place in the team. They just happen to be in the 100,000 mountain boundaries, with long mountain roads here and countless bandits and robbers. This is an excellent place to "sharpen the knife".
So Tang En ordered the two teams to take turns to sweep the competition. As for the winning and losing standard, it is very simple, which is to see which team killed more bandits.
With such important traffic roads as mountain roads, bandits on both sides naturally emerged one after another. However, bandit gangs are large and small, and some even established counterfeit villages. David's team was very unlucky to meet the big ones several times. With such a large bandit gang, naturally, it is not possible to take down a dozen people. Even if they kill the post, there is a great possibility of being caught up, so in the end they had to retreat withdrew.
Mixiu and the others were much more lucky. When it was their turn to investigate, there were almost all small bandits with only dozens of people in front of them. They cleared the posts, lurked around, and then took the crossbow and shot them... easily took them down!
"Tang, after I go back this time, I will advise Aunt Luosha to continue to promote the city publicity plan!" After chatting for a few words, Joshia suddenly said with a firm expression on her face.
"kindness."
"...It's gone?" Joshia pursed her lips and said dissatisfied, "Do you have no suggestions?"
"I agree." Tang En spread his hands, "The foundation laid by the Gray Army before was very solid, and now implementing the city plan is in line with the times, so there is no suggestion."
Joshia nodded and said decisively: "Yeah, then do that."
Tsk tsk, it has indeed changed... Tang En raised his eyebrows and praised in his heart.
Joshia has always been decisive and persistent, but it is limited to experience. She was still a little weak and a little immature in the past. But after directly leading the people of Riva City, she undoubtedly experienced a baptism.
In that environment, Tang En couldn't make public publicity. Even many people, including Tang En, would disagree with this. Because this may have no meaning, may be arrested in the street, and may even cause a counter-effect, killing himself... all kinds of concerns, various reasons, and all kinds of timidity... Fear of failure and fear of strength are part of human nature!
But there are always such people who are moving around and moving forward stubbornly in the face of the general trend of the current. They may be blocked intentionally or unintentionally, and the irresistible force ahead... But none of this can stop people holding their heads and a firm step.
So what if there is no effect? So what if the shouting can't wake up the people around you? The thing is there, and someone always needs to do it, even if it's just an attitude!
Tang En never lacks confidence in Joshia, but some things really take time and opportunity to grow and change. Just like the previous choice of Joshia as the hero of the gray-clothed army, this was the idea that Tang En suddenly came up with. He was naturally optimistic about Joshia, but he thought that the other party still needed some experience to be truly competent. But now, this opportunity has come, and Joshia seized it. No matter how coincidence or how lucky it is... the only thing that matters is, she made a choice and succeeded!
"Tang, Tang..." Joshia's cheeks were a little rosy, and she stretched out her jade hand and waved it in front of Tang En.
Tang En's eyes closed and he was slightly surprised: "Uh? What's wrong?"
"No, nothing." Joshia bent her mouth and smiled, then turned her head and pinched her clothes with her left hand. What's wrong? After seeing someone for so long, she asked what's wrong...
Tang En also realized this problem at this time and immediately touched his nose a little embarrassedly. It's hard to explain... I'm sorry, I was dazed just now? Damn, even if someone is short of a string in his mind, he knows that he can't say that.
Although the atmosphere was a bit weird, fortunately there were two people outside still arguing, so there was no cold talk.
"Damn it, get out of the car and fight alone. Look at me, I will kill you with a whirlwind!" David was obviously not good at speaking, and he decided to fight in anger.
"Haha, who is afraid of whom! But you are sure you have practiced the whirlwind slash, instead of making yourself faint?"
"I... why do you care about so much? Just beat me." He was obviously strong on the outside and fucked on the inside.
"Then let it go."
"Haha, you dare not."
"Yes, I'm really afraid... I'm afraid you will hurt others by chance. Haha..."
"Wow——"
Tang En couldn't help but chuckled when he heard this. The so-called Tornado Slash is actually a simplified version of the Storm skill.
After being awakened by the old butler, Tang En first taught the system skills to David and Mixiu in the past two days. Among them, Mixiu is easy to deal with. They both use daggers, and they just need to repost the old butler taught at that time. But David is not easy to deal with. The attack method of the big sword is completely different from that of the dagger and is not in line with it. After thinking about it for a while, Tang En decided to adapt the system skills. He was originally thinking about trying it, but he didn't want it to be effective. Storm was the first to be adapted successfully.
However, the name Tornado Slash was not named by Tang En. He was thinking of "Blade Storm". However, David felt that the mouth was twisted and his shouting was not coherent and imposing enough, so he changed his own initiative to the "Tornado Slash" that was so vulgar that it was so vulgar...
The quarrel continued, just as Josiah felt that David and the others were too angry and were about to persuade him, but the outside suddenly became quiet.
Tang En's ears moved and raised his eyebrows in a clear way.
