Chapter 116 Awe
After Sir Rodney and the four caravan leaders left, only Ender and four caravan guard leaders were left in the tabernacle.
"Mr. Ender, your injury—?" Mr. Baird first expressed concern for Ender.
He spoke without saying anything lightly because of Ender's age.
Baird is a middle-aged man with a medium figure and a little wrinkled face. His left arm is obviously thicker than his right hand, which is a feature left by using heavy shields all year round.
Including Baird, the four caravan guards' soldiers generally ranged from level four to five. They are experienced soldiers or adventurers, and two of them have served in the army led by Leicester.
These old foxes may have doubts about Ender's command ability, but they will never question Ender's combat power - the Lord of Leicester is not that easy to get, and the shooting technique displayed by Ender a few days ago was also convincing enough.
"Thank you for your concern. It's nothing serious now. You can fully recover in two days." Ander nodded slightly and thanked him, then replied.
"That's great. Something happened to Lord Guerr. The convoy now needs a strong man like you to take charge." Baird laughed.
The four caravan guard leaders looked at each other and saw a hint of peace of mind in each other's eyes.
Having a transcendent and powerful man who can keep things safe is what makes people feel at ease.
For caravan leaders and ordinary people, the Guerrill Knights are the backbone of the team, and they are arranged in an orderly manner to protect the team, marching and camping.
But for the escort leaders of the convoy, the Guerrill Knight was just a relatively skilled organizer and commander.
It is of course good to have Guerrill as the supreme leader in unity and coordination, but if not, the four of them are veterans, and each has a set of tested team protection methods, which will not be much worse.
So for them, Ender, a strong man who is suspected to be a high-level pro, is actually more important than the Knight of Guerr.
"We are all willing to obey your orders, Lord Ender, but how are you going to arrange your defense?" Baird asked respectfully.
"I don't have experience in this area either, so it's up to you four to decide. If there are any things that are difficult for you four to decide, then come to me, by the way, Robbie, you all come in."
With Ender's call, a group of people walked in.
In addition to the four teenage apprentices of Ander, Harry, Robbie, Kelly and Fella, there are also six Ander's friends in Leicester town, who all follow Ander.
"Four gentlemen, these are my subordinates. From today on, they will follow you and ask you to teach them some common sense." Ender ordered casually.
"Follow your will." The four caravan escort leaders felt a little strange about Ender's request.
It would be fine to find someone to teach apprentices some common sense about walking, but how could anyone teach soldiers this knowledge - is this more convenient for soldiers to be deserters?
However, this is not a big deal, and it will not shake their interests.
In fact, Ender doesn't care about this power to manage the fleet, nor does he care about whether his friends are deserters. Since they are ambitious and hope to see this colorful world, it is always good to let them learn more skills along the way.
In fact, in Ande's opinion, it is better to gain something than just a time to manage the fleet. The comprehensive strengthening of the body by "Tiangang* Shape Practice" is almost endless. Every time you practice, you can truly grasp your own progress.
Although this progress is indecisive, there is a skill of ‘self-examination’, and Ender can truly understand his own progress.
What's more, "Tiangang* Shape Training" is not like ordinary martial arts practice, which strengthens muscle strength and combat skills, but directly increases physical fitness from the cellular level. Such strength is a comprehensive and blind spot-free power.
Moreover, this is a major event involving lifespan.
However, since he is nominally the commander of all armed forces of the convoys and has the right not to use it, and expires and is invalid, then he can help his apprentices to train them so that they can be more useful in the future, which can save himself some effort.
Of course, even if Ender is willing to spend time training apprentices, it is impossible to do better than these old fryers.
His own knowledge in this area was wholesale from Telligan and Cory, and it has not been tested in practice. If he teaches his disciples, it is quite possible to mislead his children.

The convoy continued to advance, and Guerrill's four knight entourage divided the two out, and took twenty soldiers from the Guerrill's Knights' family to escort his body back to Leicester.
However, the other two knight entourages, Sanetti and Bank, did not help the spirits back, but took the initiative to come to Ender's carriage.
"Mr. Ender, according to Lord Guerr's last wish, we both will obey your instructions along the way."
Sanetti and Bank together kneeled on one knee and pressed their chest with their right hand—a ritual of allegiance.
If there is another lord who hits their shoulders with a long sword, it means that the two parties have formed a monarchy relationship.
But naturally Ander would not do this.
"Is this Lord Guerr's last wish?"
"Yes, Lord Guerrill was ordered by the Baron to escort Lord Rodney to the capital. Before his death, he left his will and let us continue to complete this task for him."
Sanetti said, his voice choked.
As for the young knight entourage next to him, Bank, he was even more in tears.
"Master Guerrill - it's a knight's example." Ander helped the two up and said in a heavy tone: "However, I will escort Sir Rodney to the capital, and you don't need this."
Ender admires Guergil's chivalrous spirit, but although these two knight entourages are two good players, for Ender, there are not many more warriors of this level, and there are not many less.
Moreover, they have different identities, so there are troubles in command. After all, these are subordinates of other nobles, so he cannot give orders at will.
Sanetti seemed to see Ender's doubts, and he quickly said, "Mr. Ender, we have followed your instructions along the way. Even if we take our lives, we will never disobey the Adult's words!"
Then, Sanetti suddenly looked up and stared at Ender and said word by word: "We only have one request to Ender--if we can find the murderer who killed Guerr, please take action once!"
Yesterday, two other knight entourages returned empty-handed, and they knew that the assassin was not easy to mess with - the assassin who could not find the cavalry team that rushed out could not find any trace in a short period of time, no matter how they looked at it, they were not able to deal with it.
——————————————
The next trip to the wasteland was very dull, but camping on time and setting off on time.
Occasionally, some scattered monsters spyed over the convoy from afar, and anyone found was caught and killed by the cavalry.
The caravan's escorts were led by four caravan's escort leaders; while the remaining regular soldiers were led by two knight entourages.
In accordance with the old method, Ander organized a military council and threw two knight entourages and four caravan leaders together. The actions of the escort convoy were decided by them jointly. Except for some unsuspecting things, general affairs would not bother him.
As for Ende, he naturally hid in the carriage comfortably. In addition to practicing every day, he helped Amilia adjust her body (take advantage), and then studied Amilia's mutant berserker profession.
In the present view, this kind of variation is mutating towards the better.
Originally, the Berserker's strength was placed on the blood. In Emilya's record, at this stage, while introducing energy to refine blood repeatedly, the Berserker should strengthen the strength of blood vessels and promote capillary hyperplasia through a series of special practice methods.
As for body size and muscle strengthening, they are just by-products of blood refining practice.
Only after completing the first blood refining and the blood vessels change synchronously can the belligerent skill - Fury.
If Emiliya had been the former, becoming a Berserker was her dream achievement. She would not care about whether she had enlarged or developed muscles - because only by becoming a Berserker could she retain the surname Locoway.
However, Amilia, who is trapped in love, just imagine that she will become her father's mahjong figure in the future, and she is a little hesitant about whether to continue to stick to the path of Berserker.
However, in Ender's opinion, Emiliya doesn't have to worry so much.
Ande's "Tiangang* Shape Training" itself is a supreme body refining method that comprehensively increases physical fitness from the basic level.
In Ender's view, the reason why the Berserkers become huge and muscular is actually caused by the fact that the tissues of other parts of the body are not of sufficient mass to match the energy-efficient blood, so they have to use quantity to make up.
If Amilia could get energy tempered all over her body, she might not have to become a miracle-hard woman.
However, the difficulty of changing the basic practice methods of professions cannot be completed overnight, so Ande happily took advantage of the situation every day, and even called it the creation of a new Berserker practice method for Amilia, so he had to study the sample carefully.
It doesn't matter whether Amilia believes or not, but Ende believes it herself anyway.
With such a free life, how could Ande have the leisure to care about the armed forces of the convoy?
However, Sir Rodney's carriage is always docked near Ander's carriage. In fact, if Ander hadn't refused firmly, this Sir Rodney would have wished to live in Ander's carriage.
This really seriously disturbed Ender's research on the Berserker's path.

After walking out of the wasteland, the convoy marched for more than ten days and finally arrived at the city of Gra, known as the "Heart of the North".
"How did such a high city wall be built?" Ander looked up at the high city wall, suspected that he had gone on the wrong set.
The majestic city wall stretches out from afar. I don’t know how long it is, but the height is more than twelve meters.
This is a city wall that can be called a "huge" city, not a small castle. How manpower and material resources does it take to build such a city wall?
Anyway, according to the population density of villages and towns that Ande saw along the way, even if he was pulled over, he would not be able to build such a city wall - this is almost beyond the ancient city wall in Xi'an.
"End, this is the power of spells."
"The Heart of the North is the first city of the Ottoll family and the most sturdy one. It was built about 1,300 years ago. At that time, the ancestor of the Ottoll family was a high-level warlock. He paid a huge price to invite seventeen high-level and intermediate-level mages to build this city for him."
"In the heart of this city, there is a Frost Mage Tower, which has always been run by the first warlock of the Ottoll family."
Sir Rodney explained to Ender.
As the two said, the carriage slowly drove into Gras City.
They entered the city with VIP passage on the other side, which was different from the passage of the civilians. They not only did not have to queue up, but also paid taxes on entering the city. This was the privilege of the nobles.
As for the convoy's large team of troops, they can only be stationed in designated locations outside the city of Gra and cannot enter the city at all. In this era, no city will allow established armed forces to enter at will.
If you want to enter the city to sell goods, you can only have a few people bring goods in, they can only sell them at designated locations, and you have to pay heavy taxes for it - unless you already have a shop in the city.
A female knight who could barely be called beautiful walked onto the carriage, glanced at it like a routine in the carriage, nodded to Ander and Sir Rodney, then got out of the car, signaling the soldiers to let go.
The carriage was moving forward, and the wheels crushed the road paved with large stones and slowly drove into the city of Gra.
"Look, that's the symbol of the Ottor family - the Frost Mage Tower." Sir Rodney pointed to the distance.
The Frost Mage Tower is very conspicuous. As soon as you enter the city, you can see at first glance that in the center of the city, a conical building pierces straight into the sky.
The tower is white all over, like an ice peak standing in the center of the city, shining dazzling light in the sun, and five white lights are slowly rotating around the tower.
There are strands of white clouds in the blue sky. These white clouds are ribbons and cotton-shaped in the high sky, showing intermittent concentric circles around the point pointed at the spire of this tower.
The halo around the tower body and the clouds distributed in concentric circles in the sky set off the tower beautifully, as if they were the center of the world.
"This, this is a miracle." Amilia couldn't stop her from being surprised.
She had heard of this Frost Mage Tower from her father and brother, but it would be better to see it once if she heard it a hundred times.
If the walls of Gra City are majestic, they are still built with manpower; this wizard tower is like a miracle between heaven and earth, and cannot be built by manpower.
Looking at the five halos surrounding the tower, which had no contact with the tower body and slowly rotated out of thin air, Ande was speechless.
Even on earth, such buildings are never possible.
Ander always believed that he came from a world with a higher level of civilization. Even when he was the weakest, he would like to please people on the surface, but he still felt a sense of superiority in his heart that "you are actually all rustics."
