Arknights is too real, right?

Year 1094 of the Terran Calendar, five months after the end of the Victorian Dark Age.

Dongguo, Dongzhou, Baiye Town.

midsummer.

Baiye Town is a small town on the southern coast of Dongzhou. Although it is called a town, compared with Victoria, it is just a village at best.

At this time, a large number of ghost tribesmen dressed in plain clothes gathered around a slightly crude arena and cheered.

Come on!

Cut him, chop him!

White Fox, quickly, kill that fat man!

In the arena.

A big, tough-looking man was holding an oversized machete and breathing heavily. His sweaty face was not only full of flesh, but also had a trace of obsession that he didn't want to give up.

For him, as long as he can defeat the opponent standing in front of him, he will be the first place in this Hakuno Samurai Tournament. If he is lucky, he may be valued and become a military commander of the Sakura Warrior Family.

But judging from the current situation, this life-changing dream seems a bit difficult.

Standing opposite this sturdy man at this time was a thin man wearing a fox mask. The weapon in his hand was not the traditional samurai sword of the Eastern Kingdom, but a silver short knife.

Although his appearance is obscured by the mask, his appearance does not look like that of a ghost tribesman.

Of course, he was not originally from the ghost tribe, nor was he from the Eastern Kingdom. His name was Xia Feng.

The workmanship of Xia Feng's mask is very exquisite.

With white as the base and red lines as outlines, there are almost no holes visible on the entire mask, except for a tiny gap at the left eye that is difficult for outsiders to detect.

From the outside, it seems to be seamless.

Of course, it was just a slit over his left eye, which was enough for him.

This game was the final of the White Wild Samurai Tournament, but 20 minutes had passed since the start of the game. For some reason, Xia Feng never made a move.

Although he didn't take action, his opponent was helpless against him. No matter how he attacked, they couldn't even touch the corners of his clothes.

Fight quickly!

Kill him, chop off his head!

Just when the audience below the ring was getting impatient, finally, the opportunity Xia Feng had been waiting for came.

Through the gap in the mask, he clearly saw a carriage approaching at the intersection on the southwest side of the arena. At the same time, he also caught the carriage's curtain opening a corner.

At this moment, Xia Feng's opponent could only feel the chills all over his body standing up unconsciously.

Ding!

With the sound of a blade cutting through the air, he felt Xia Feng's figure suddenly disappear. The next second, countless sword lights had surrounded him.

A copycat version of the second move of Bei Qiu Liyu struck, and Xia Feng's figure appeared behind the big man.

puff!

With the audience stunned, the big man standing in the ring burst out with countless blood marks all over his body, and then fell down.

At the same time as the plop sound of the big man falling was heard, a voice also came from the carriage passing by the ring.

parking.

The body of this horse is engraved with a cherry blossom pattern.

The person sitting in the carriage calls himself Yingwu Yun. He is the ruler of Dongzhou and a younger generation of the Yingwu family.

Regarding Ying Wuyun's self-introduction, Xia Feng appeared humble, but in fact he had known this information for a long time. He participated in this kind of Eastern Country Warrior Competition just to wait for this person.

In one of the few taverns in Baiye Town.

The servant who followed Ying Wuyun filled two glasses of wine, and the handsome Ying Wuyun raised his glass towards Xia Feng.

May I ask your surname, sir?

Zhang San.

Zhang San? Mr. Zhang is not from Dongguo?

No, I'm from Victoria.

Xia Feng did not drink the glass of wine in front of him, and the expression under the mask was difficult for outsiders to understand. Combined with his superb sword skills just now, it gave people a sense of mystery.

The appreciation on Ying Wuyun's face was beyond words.

If you don't mind, I will call you Brother Zhang San.

The reputation of the Yingwu family is well known in the Eastern Kingdom. It is my honor for Master Yun to call me your brother.

Hey, you're welcome, you can also call me Brother Yun.

This is the case in the Eastern Kingdom. Compared with the aristocratic class in Victoria's past, this place advocates military force more.

As long as you are strong enough, you will be respected.

After a brief chat, Ying Wuyun brought the topic to the topic.

Brother Zhang, it is almost rare to see foreigners in the land of the East. I wonder why you are here?

Xia Feng's answer was neither humble nor arrogant.

To be honest, Brother Yun, I used to be a gangster in Victoria. Now that the throne has changed, the situation has changed drastically. I have no choice but to escape here because I am being hunted by my enemies.

So that's the case. Then why did you participate in Hakuno's Samurai Tournament?

Oh, I'm ashamed to say it, because I really have no money.

Sakura Wuyun thought for a moment.

Brother Zhang, based on my observation just now, although you use a sword, your true form is swordsmanship, and this swordsmanship seems to be similar to a certain school of swordsmanship in the Yan Kingdom.

Xia Feng nodded slightly.

Brother Yun is indeed an expert. The master who taught me swordsmanship is from the Yan Kingdom.

As expected, Yan Guo's swordsmanship is profound and profound. I also want to learn it. Can Brother Zhang teach me?

Xia Feng was humble again and again.

Oh, I don't want to be a professor. If there is a chance in the future, I can learn from Brother Yun.

Speaking of which, it's like a romantic wanderer meets a flirtatious courtesan, and things will fall into place.

Then Ying Wuyun cleared his throat and said seriously.

Brother Zhang, in fact, the purpose of my leaving Dongzhou Mansion this time is to find capable hidden masters in Dongzhou under the order of the family leader. Now the Xigong family is eyeing Dongzhou. As a citizen of Dongzhou, my ambition should be Stand on the battlefield.”

Then Ying Wuyun changed the topic again.

Of course, Brother Zhang San is not from Dongguo, so he may not have this feeling, but this does not prevent you from realizing your own value. Dongguo has always respected the strong. With your ability, I believe you can make a name for yourself in Dongguo. A world of your own.”

Yingwu Yun said it impassionedly. To put it bluntly, he was drawing a big pie for Xia Feng, hoping that he would join the Yingwu family and work for them.

If the sale is good, he will be able to gain status as a military commander. If the sale is not good, there will be no consequences.

Facing Ying Wuyun's naked invitation, Xia Feng took the piece of cake and swallowed it.

This is really great. Being able to work for the famous Yingwu family is in line with my ideal of coming to the Eastern Kingdom. Brother Yun is willing to invite me. I am really a noble man of mine.

After saying that, Xia Feng took the initiative to pick up the wine glass for the first time.

Come on, Brother Yun, I respect you and please take good care of you from now on.

Xia Feng's cheerfulness made Ying Wuyun very happy.

It is also a blessing for our Yingwu family to be helped by masters like Brother Zhang San, do it!

Ding!

The two cups clinking together are like signing some kind of contract that represents the significance of the times.

Xia Feng raised the corner of his mask slightly and drank the wine in the glass quickly, so fast that no one could see his true face under the mask.

Ying Wuyun put down his wine glass and smiled.

Brother Zhang San, I just wanted to ask, why do you keep wearing a mask? Are you afraid that your enemies will chase you here?

Xia Feng's voice was filled with melancholy.

There may be reasons for this, but more importantly, I have a facial disability and I am afraid of causing discomfort to others.

So that's it.

Ying Wuyun thought he was talking about Xia Feng's pain point, so he comforted him.

It doesn't matter. Appearances are just clouds. With the abilities of the three Zhang brothers, they will definitely be able to gain both fame and wealth, status and beauties in the future.

Xia Feng smiled handsomely.

Hahaha, let me borrow Brother Yun's good words.

Although there was only one short move in the ring, Ying Wuyun had already seen Xia Feng's strength.

The opponent looked miserable, but he fired several swords in an instant, but none of them hurt his vitals. Even if he could kill someone in the ring, he didn't do it.

This precise control of the sword energy and his true intention not to be lost in the killing means that Xia Feng is a first-rate master, even surpassing most of the first-level generals of the Yingwu family.

Ying Wuyun, who felt that he was in a good mood, also mentioned another interesting thing to Xia Feng through the topic.

By the way, Brother Zhang, you just said you were from Victoria, right?

That's right.

That's a coincidence. A few months ago our Yingwu family also welcomed a big shot from Victoria. For some reasons, he chose to join our Yingwu family.

Big shot?

Ying Wuyun had a mysterious smile. It seemed that the big shot he was talking about was really big.

Brother Zhang, if you stay in Victoria long enough, you will definitely know this person. Don't be scared by then.

Xia Feng laughed casually, as if he didn't believe in some big shot.

Hahaha, what other big shot can there be, unless the person you are talking about is the Chief of Military Affairs of Victoria, hahaha.

Xia Feng was laughing, but Ying Wuyun froze.

This expression was like that of Sun Fugui who was exposed in a magic show, extremely uncomfortable.

It's just that Ying Wuyun didn't notice that when Xia Feng mentioned the words chief of military affairs, although he was laughing gracefully, his fists under the wine table were already clenched.

Some people think that the world of Terra is so big that they have never left their own city, let alone their own country.

But in someone's eyes, although the world of Terra is equally large, it cannot stop his narrow mind.

Even if the sun and moon alternate, the ends of the earth are far away.
