Chapter 1128 Barty Arthur’s Exclusive Interview
[It has reached its limit...]
Barty Arthur crouched tightly on the horse and avoided it in an embarrassing manner. With a stray arrow, he looked at the figure in the distance that seemed to be getting farther and farther away from the main formation of the Paladin Knight Academy, and sighed deeply.
The companions around them have been working very hard. In order to maximize their speed, everyone even took huge risks. During the coordinated charge, they were distracted and poured their fighting spirit into the war horses, just to successfully threaten them. to the Diesel Rangers in the distance.
That's right, it's just a threat. After this pursuit lasted for less than two minutes, even if they didn't say it, everyone no longer felt that they could do anything to those enemies who were so flexible that it was almost unbelievable. It was a fatal blow. The only reason why we could continue to grit our teeth and persevere like this was because Batty, who was the absolute core of the team, did not issue new orders.
If this continues, you will lose.
No one wants to think about it, but no one can completely control their thoughts.
Including Barty Arthur, who was almost deprived of oxygen due to overthinking, almost everyone was shrouded in the shadow of defeat at this moment.
【We can’t continue chasing. 】
Suddenly realizing that the opponent has never completely distanced himself, it is not that it is impossible, but that after wearing down his own morale and physical strength in a pleasant way, Batty finally He gave up the encirclement that seemed to be about to be completed, ordered all his companions to slow down and gather together, and at the same time recalled the previously separated team.
He believed that if he continued to maintain the current rhythm, even if he could successfully limit the scope of activities of those Diesel people, it would be difficult to force them to fight head-on with him in a short period of time. In the process, he would be carrying a heavy burden. The equipped side's physical strength will decline off a cliff, and the combat effectiveness of both humans and horses will drop to a dangerous level.
When this danger reaches a certain threshold, it is time for those Diesel people to fight back.
So, instead of holding on to the mentality of 'I have reached this level, I have to persevere even if my teeth are broken in order not to let my previous efforts go to waste' and burn myself to death, it is better to Be decisive and stop losses in time before the situation slips to the point where it is completely impossible to turn around.
In fact, Batty knows that he is not decisive enough. Although he can barely analyze the battle situation from an objective perspective, every step seems to be within the opponent's plan, no matter what he does No change can escape the predicament of the other party's established arrangements, which is really difficult to accept for a young man who is committed to becoming a famous general.
Always leading everyone to fight in this kind of environment where others are playing tricks on me. Someone with a slightly worse mental quality would probably have completely collapsed and broken down.
Even if you can't win, you can still lose decently.
Even if you can't lose gracefully, you can at least make the opponent win less honorably.
But Barty still tightened his nerves and killed the impulse that was always surging in his heart.
……
“I want to win.”
Many, many years later, although he was old, he still had many qualities such as wit, humor, and handsomeness. [Sly Fox] Barty Arthur sat in front of the fireplace in his study, while rubbing the piece of hair that had long faded in his Among the many honors, the most inconspicuous [Runner-up Medal in the Fighting Skills Competition], he smiled at the dwarf girl in front of him who almost broke his leg and had to talk a lot before getting this interview opportunity: "To be honest, at that time I My head has almost become a mess, but there is only one thing I still remember clearly, that is, I want to win, and I want to defeat that invincible knights together with my companions.”
< br>"Pfft, they were not an all-powerful knights at that time. If I remember correctly, Lord Liadrin was only a reserve member of the Diesel family's reserve force~"
As【 Yali Bao] The most outstanding reporter among the younger generation, the dwarf girl did not show the slightest nervousness when facing this famous general. Instead, she blinked narrowly like an old friend and teased: "You are talking about it in your own face." Is it gold?”
“Haha, you can’t say that, little girl.”
Barty Arthur also laughed and shrugged: “Maybe I can tell you. An exclusive piece of news, that is, the great lord you just mentioned was already very powerful back then. Even though she had gone through a fierce battle before, she only used one move to knock me off my horse! ”
Two cups of coffee with a strong aroma were gently pushed in front of Batty and the female reporter with sharp eyes. She had snow-white hair. Although she was nearly sixty years old, her soft outlines were still the same. Extremely beautiful and skin-protecting The well-bred half-orc woman from the rabbit tribe gently patted Barty Arthur on the shoulder and said leisurely: "Although you are right, dear, you have to admit that no matter what the situation is at the same level, Whoever wants to knock you down will find it difficult to use the second move ."
"Well, I understand what you mean, Lai Nan, after all, I am so smart, I never give people a second chance..."
"Because again. You might be beaten to death if you use a knife."
"Uh..."
The handsome old man coughed slightly with a reddish face. After a few seconds, he straightened his face and said to his wife in a deep voice: "Be serious, here. Interview.”
"Yes, yes, yes~"
Lei Nan smiled warmly, and then in the next second, he seemed to be back when he was in his twenties, smiling playfully at the dwarf girl whose eyes were twice as big as hers: "You can write whatever report you want about what I just said, without having to save face for this guy."
[That's necessary. 】
The girl chuckled, and after giving Barty a look of 'please don't worry', she smiled at Lainan like a good person: "You are joking."
Then She took a sip of Lainan's coffee that had been specially added with a lot of fresh milk, and stuck out her tongue very honestly: "Well, I really can't get used to this."
"Haha, little girl, you are still young."
But Buddy took a big gulp and said cheerfully: "In a dozen years, you will start to feel sleepy before the sun sets. Only when you get older can you truly discover the value of this drink."
The girl nodded, and then suddenly smiled: "I remember that. Your Excellency seems to like this one too."
"Which Excellency are you talking about?"
Bati blinked curiously and said, "You have to understand, girl. At the highest meeting within the coalition that year, more people chose coffee than soda and ale.”
"Of course it's the one related to our last topic~"
The girl clapped her hands gently and said with a smile: "Your best friend and the person you respect the most, was there that year The one who defeated the young [Sly Fox] in the first fighting skill competition and brought the Diesel delegation to the championship..."
"Hei Fan is not my best "Friends!"
A few veins suddenly appeared on the back of Batty's hands, and he gritted his teeth and said: "And I don't respect him at all! Tell me, little girl, who is saying this?" You said it!”
“You said it in your speech when you resigned as the dean of the White Oath Knight Academy fifteen years ago.”
The dwarf girl answered without thinking.
“I didn’t say it!”
“You did.”
“I didn’t say it!”
“You really did.”< br>
"I didn't say it if I didn't say it!"
"Well, you didn't say it."
The dwarf girl smiled softly, and then asked seemingly casually: "So, actually You didn’t like your boss at all?”
Bati twitched his lips and said, “Nonsense, who would treat a layman who only thinks about ‘finish the war quickly and then go home and get married’. "
The girl's eyes lit up: "Eh? So our Lord the Military God and His Highness Wangyu were really just pretending..."
"Are you here to interview me, or are you looking for enthusiastic people to investigate Hei Fan?"
Bati's tone became more and more unkind.
"Ahem, sorry, sorry, let's go on, let's go on."
Although it was clear that the other party was just joking, the girl still changed the subject in a good-natured manner and asked: "So just because I want to Win, in that case did you give up on continuing to target the Diesel delegation and order everyone to stop the pursuit?”
“That’s it”
Barty touched the tip of his nose, took another sip of coffee, turned his gaze to the burning fireplace next to him, and recalled with a chuckle: "Under the circumstances at that time, that was the only thing I could do. He retreated and led everyone to flee in the opposite direction, but his mind was still filled with winning, winning, winning."
The girl quickly wrote something on the small notebook in her hand with a quill while continuing to ask: "So the reason is..."
"The reason is of course that we have Mu Xuejian."
Baty knocked on the rim of the cup, a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes, and said lightly: " Little girl, you should know who was the strongest person on Diesel’s side at that time, right?” “Of course!”
The petite reporter almost jumped up and said quickly: "To be honest, I was almost shocked when I turned to the records before. I didn't expect that the adult also..."
" Okay, okay.”
Ba. Di waved his hand and said with a smile: "I think you must have no idea how badly he was beaten by Mu Xuejian. Oh, by the way, there is also that bitch."
"What bastard?"
“Foolish bastard.”
"What is that?"
"...It's Mo's mount."
"Eh? You mean the sage who is known for his wisdom, erudition, kindness, justice, fairness, and loyalty? Lord Dragon King! ?”
“So, which dimension of history did you study in school?”
“Would you mind telling me more?”
"I mind very much. That bastard is very vengeful, unless you swear not to spread it."
"I swear!"
"I don't believe it."
"..."
“Haha, let’s continue talking about the content of your column.”
After teasing the girl in front of him, Barty brought the topic back and said softly: "Actually, I had no choice at that time. If I wanted to win, I could only place my hope on the only variable in that game."
The reporter girl reacted quickly: "Sword Master?"
"Haha, Sword Master is a rank, not a title for a certain person."
Bati He smacked his lips and then smiled: "Of course, if there can only be one Sword Master, I also think that only Mu Xuejian can bear this title. In short, although I didn't want her to continue to shine in the limelight at first, But in the end, I still put everything on her."
"In the end, Your Excellency Mu Xuejian was defeated by..."
"No, no, no, Mo didn't have that strength at that time. As I said just now, he and his bastard were taught a terrible lesson. Speaking of the two of them alone, there is no doubt that Mu Xuejian achieved complete victory. But..."
"But what?"
"But Mo still held Mu Xuejian back after all."
Bati sighed and said helplessly: "In my calculations at the time, almost no one could hold on to Mu Xuejian for a minute, but that guy held her back for nearly five minutes, and these five minutes were precisely the most critical and important minutes in that battle. Five minutes."
The girl nodded vigorously and ravaged the notebook in front of her with the quill in her hand: "Can you elaborate on this?"
"Of course, I've already looked away anyway."
Barty, who obviously didn't look away, nodded with a stinky face and shrugged: "My idea at the time was to ignore Diesel's The Rangers all moved closer to Mu Xuejian, who was obviously unable to support her immediately, and then relied on their numerical advantage to help her deal with Mo as soon as possible. As long as Mu Xuejian was liberated, no matter how many tactics Diesel prepared, we would at least They all have the option of using force to defeat skill. "
She had done enough homework before interviewing Barty. The girl who graduated from the Violet Strategic Command Academy thought about it for a while, and then nodded vigorously. : "It's a very correct way to deal with it."
"Yes, it's very correct. Until now, I still feel that I didn't make any mistakes that day."
Bati laughed dryly and sighed. : "However, we failed after all."
"The reason is?"
"That damn cavalry team...well, in your words, it should be the quasi-cavalry team back then. When I gave the order to turn back, it started charging."< br>
“Wait, what did you say started?”
“Yes, you heard it right, they charged.”
“They...charged? I mean, they were clearly Rangers, and they launched a charge against you and the heavy cavalry around you?”
"Exactly."
"Then what?"
The almost confused dwarf girl asked the first stupid question of the day.
"Then? Have you seen this medal?"
Bati shook the medal in his hand that he would take out to play with whenever he had nothing to do, and said with a wry smile: "It says ‘Runner’ is the word.”
"How is this possible!"
"Yes, that's what I thought at the time... How is this possible? How can there be such an unreasonable knight in the world?"
" Pfft, but you still got their command in the end, didn’t you?”
"Yeah, because except for a guy with no ambitions, I am probably the person who knows best how important that cavalry team is as a chess piece. In fact, even at that time, I respected them very much. , also like them very much"
"So..."
"No details~"
"No, no, no, I mean, so is it true that you pursued Ms. Scarlett Diesel later?"
" ! ?”
Barty’s pupils suddenly shrank, and not far away, Mrs. Arthur’s long ears, who were preparing dinner, also stood up quickly, although she had known this for a long time.
“Damn it, where did you hear this!?”
"The "Black History" series retails for 3,600 gold coins at the Wanderer Hotel."
"Crow, what the hell..."
"So is this thing true? Yes!"
"...Well, but Scarlett doesn't like my type."
"Eh? What does Ms. Scarlett Diesel like? ”
"Madman."
"Huh?"
"Yes, madman."
