Chapter 307 - 307 307 The Grudges Between Nobles

307: Chapter 307: The Grudges Between Nobles 307: Chapter 307: The Grudges Between Nobles It turned out that Jack was indeed a professional.

Having just arrived, Jack pulled out a small knife and, under the gaze of the opposing leader’s eyes splitting with rage, severed all the tendons in the bandit leader’s hands and feet, effectively crippling the man.

In fact, to leave him with a life, Ocoro thought that was already too kind.

Combat Energy is produced throughout the body; although its core is in the chest, that’s not a special location, but rather a concentration area of Combat Energy.

Even if it’s destroyed, the Combat Energy can’t be completely eliminated.

Therefore, dealing with these warriors, the best way to completely deprive them of their combat power is to sever the tendons in their hands and feet.

As long as these force-exerting points are destroyed, then it doesn’t matter how strong the opponent’s Combat Energy is—they’ll find it difficult to engage in combat again.

The first step is to destroy their hope, and not much time passed before continuous screams could be heard from behind.

By this time, the battlefield statistics had come out, and Hans approached the two, wearing a slight smile on his face.

It seemed that the bloody battlefield hadn’t impacted him at all.

“How many did we lose?” Ocoro asked straightforwardly.

Hans reported loudly, “We have thirty-eight dead, sixty-seven wounded, but we have lost nearly a hundred horses.”

There was no such practice as each person having two horses in this world because the horses were all Magic Beasts, at least possessed of Magic Beast bloodlines, and they could operate for long durations with just a little rest.

Therefore, like other teams, the magnificent squadron also had one horse per person, with no spares at all.

Now, quite a few would have to become infantry.

Wait a minute, it seems the bandits still had many horses captured.

Although these horses weren’t specifically trained and were somewhat inferior in quality to their warhorses, the difference didn’t seem too great.

At least for traveling, it wouldn’t be too much of a problem.

“So many dead?

Seems like your training is still not sufficient.”

Hans nodded vigorously, “Indeed, it isn’t.

We will intensify training when we get back.”

Ocoro nodded, “Manage it as you see fit, but remember, your artistic training must not be affected.”

Still thinking about your art at this time, Zhao Guang looked askance, unsure what to say.

“Alright, clear the battlefield, capture these people, take them to the town ahead, and brand them all with the Slave Mark.

I want them to know the consequences of attacking nobles without cause.”

Indeed, these people were made into slaves by Ocoro, and no one would say anything.

Or rather, if he didn’t do this, others might think Ocoro was easy to bully.

And at this time, the screams from behind had almost completely ceased.

“My Lord, we have gotten to the bottom of it.”

“Speak,” Ocoro said indifferently, as if he didn’t particularly care.

He really did resemble a traditional noble at that moment.

But thinking about Ocoro’s usual demeanor, Zhao Guang’s feelings suddenly shifted.

Jack said loudly, “According to this man, they serve the local Lord, Baron Corolla, and the attack was ordered by Baron Corolla himself, though it was only a verbal command.”

“So it’s that waste, he doesn’t think a mere order means there’s no evidence, does he?”

A cruel flash crossed Ocoro’s eyes, “They usually obey Corolla, and there’s evidence of that.

To think that waste hasn’t sent anyone even now, I will make sure he pays dearly this time.”

Zhao Guang sighed, “They’re after your life, and you still won’t fight back?”

“What life?

Death of a noble is a serious matter, they surely know such an intense attack wouldn’t kill me.”

So they had it all planned out, these nobles and their circuitous schemes are indeed numerous.

“Why did Corolla attack you?

What grudge do you have with him?”

Ocoro waved his hand dismissively, “Just some old issue back in Imperial City when we were studying.

That kid competed with me for a woman and ended up getting beaten by me several times.

I didn’t expect him to try to cause trouble by delaying my journey this time.”

Beaten several times?

Zhao Guang remembered, Ocoro indeed seemed to be a very hot-tempered person.

Don’t look at his past disinterest in training, but he absolutely was the kind of person who would take action instead of wasting words.

Before he had Combat Energy, Ocoro dared to confront Yars, an Advanced Warrior.

And it was not just once or twice; despite ending up bruised and swollen each time, he never showed weakness.

Think about it, there were people who didn’t get along with Ocoro back in Imperial City, so it wasn’t strange that he would get into fights.

“All because of that?” Zhao Guang was a bit speechless, looking at the corpses all over the ground because of some squabble between two nobles.

Nobles truly have great power over life and death, it’s not just an empty saying.

But speaking of it, it looks like he was now part of that group as well.

Then it’s fine, after all, as the beneficiary, one cannot fight against oneself, right?

“So in the end, did that woman succeed?

Why is he still targeting you?”

“Haha, if that waste had succeeded, of course, he wouldn’t have done this.

Unfortunately, he didn’t succeed.”

“Then congratulations to you, looks like you were the successful one.”

“No, I didn’t succeed either.

In the end, that woman got engaged to someone else,” Zhao Guang was dumbstruck, what a bizarre situation.

So both of you ended up failing, then why all this fuss?

“How can a noble’s marriage be left to oneself?

It’s all arranged by the family.”

Zhao Guang was speechless, “So what were you fighting over?”

Ocoro nonchalantly said, “Even though the marriage was out of reach, having a little fun was no issue.”

You guys are quite the mess, Zhao Guang thought helplessly.

It seemed he needed to be more careful in the future if any noblewoman approached him—he didn’t want to be cuckolded, nor did he fancy unexpectedly becoming a father.

As they were talking, the battlefield had been basically cleared.

All the people, except for a part that had escaped, were captured, tied up, and strung together.

They couldn’t keep them indefinitely as it would slow down their speed.

Once they reached the town below, they would be sold off.

As for those who had died, after their belongings were collected, their bodies were burned to ash with a fire.

“Haha, this will definitely make that little man Corolla die of heartache.

Training such a force costs a fortune.

Moreover, with such heavy losses, the other lords nearby might start getting ideas.”

“Can nobles and lords go to war with each other?”

“As long as there’s a justification, war is allowed.

However, one can’t occupy the territory of the other; there are strict rules regarding this.” Ocoro, knowing Zhao Guang was unfamiliar with these matters, began to explain.
