Chapter 258

This is a young man with a medium figure, not particularly strong, but very agile.⊙,

Among the mercenaries in Suye City, he had a nickname called Linghu, who was alert, quick and had a lot of combat experience. He had more than ten people under him and had served as guards for Guo Wenbin's caravan. Guo Wenbin was very familiar with him. When he saw him appearing, he told Liang Xiao about his information.

Facts proved that Guo Wenbin’s information was easily passed Pang Shuo’s assessment.

However, Liang Xiao was not worried. Although the four Alphas were no longer the kind of Amazon female warriors who only made a living by fighting in history, they grew up in the Dayuan Palace and all their lives revolved around two aspects: serving their masters and fighting.

He had personally experienced their skills in serving their masters and also saw their heroic posture when practicing martial arts. After Tuniuer's training, they were enough to deal with ordinary masters. There must be people who can defeat them, but there are definitely not many people who can hurt them within three to five rounds.

After careful look, the Spirit Fox chose Xiya as his opponent.

Liang Xiao nodded secretly. This spirit fox is well-known, and at a glance, it is obvious that Xiya is the weakest among the four sisters, although her figure looks the strongest.

Xiya took the line, holding a short spear that was one and a half tall. She did not use her shield, but held the spear in both hands, and was ready to attack.

The spirit fox was a little suspicious, but he didn't dare to be careless. He held a shield in his left hand to protect the vital points, hid behind his right hand, and turned around Xiya. Xiya slowly moved her footsteps and followed the spirit fox. Liang Xiao saw it and shook his head secretly. Xiya did this and looked steady, but in fact she was a bit conservative, which was equivalent to handing over the initiative. Over time, she would inevitably be dizzy.

But Liang Xiao did not remind Xiya. He wanted to see if Xiya could solve this difficulty.

The spirit fox circled around Xiya. Xiya's pace slowed down, closed her eyes, shook her head, and seemed a little dizzy. When the spirit fox saw it, he immediately seized the opportunity. He flew forward and slashed the knife.

At this moment, Xiya's eyes suddenly opened, and a hint of pride appeared on the corner of her mouth. Her hands thrust straight into the spear, and the spear head shook at the Linghu's face, suddenly sinking, inserted between the Linghu's legs, swinging left and right, knocking on the legs that the Linghu had just stepped out.

The fox's legs became weak and his foothold was unstable, so he almost fell to the ground. Then, his crotch became cold and then he flew up in the clouds and mist.

With a "puzzle", the spirit fox was picked by Xiya with a spear and fell to the ground. Before he could react, Xiya rushed to him with a quick step, picked his sword open with a short spear, and pointed the spearhead straight into his throat.

The spirit fox let go of his hand, lay on the ground, and smiled bitterly: "I admit defeat."

Shia giggled, took two steps back, bowed to salute, then returned to the queue, celebrating with Alpha and others, and laughed in a ball.

Liang Xiao was surprised when he saw this. Xiya was the simplest of the three people. When did he have such a scheming, he even deceived him.

Xiya made a big splash. She pushed the spirit fox to the ground, and the mercenaries were shocked, and no one dared to underestimate them anymore. Although the spirit fox did not dominate the mercenaries by force, his scheming was famous. Xiya could lure him into a fool. She could pick him away, both in terms of force and intelligence.

The wild buffalo and the spirit fox were defeated one after another. The mercenaries realized Liang Xiao's strength and immediately put away their contempt. Although Pang Shuo and others did not have the intention to kill, they were defeated too badly and could not get the commission of hope. They still lost face in front of so many people, how can they survive in the future?

The mercenaries cheered up and challenged one by one. Gradually, some passed the assessment of Pang Shuo, and then some passed the assessment of Alpha and four others, standing in front of Tu Niuer.

Unfortunately, almost no one can insist on five combinations in front of Tu Niuer, and basically they are knocked down by Tu Niuer within one or two combinations.

Liang Xiao was not surprised by this result. Tu Niuer was already very strong, and after the devil training in Zhongli period, his skills were far better than ordinary people. Fist was afraid of being strong, so he was at the best time for competitive conditions. Even if Zhongli period came in person, he might not be able to win easily, not to mention these mercenaries who had not received formal training based on brute force and courage.

When the infantry battle was in full swing, Liang Xiao also began to evaluate archery skills.

He brought the mercenary who was good at archery to the side and pointed at the target a hundred steps away.

"Each person has the opportunity to shoot twelve arrows. He can shoot two arrows, which is a third-class, and pay thirty deposits in advance; he can shoot four arrows, which is a second-class, which is a hundred deposits in advance; he can shoot six arrows, which is a first-class, which is a five hundred deposits in advance."

Looking at the target a hundred steps away, the mercenaries turned dark. Someone shouted in discontently. "Sir, how could he shoot at such a long distance? He still had to shoot six arrows? Are you deliberately making things difficult for us?"

"That's right, don't hire people if you don't have money, why do you do first-class or second-class? At such a long distance, who can shoot six arrows except the Huns' Sagittarius?"

"Isn't that true? Sir, please find someone who can shoot six arrows to show us, okay?"

Liang Xiao didn't say anything, and reached out to take the black bow from Paris's hand, and used the arrows to hit the target, and the last arrow shot through the target.

The mercenaries were stunned and speechless.

They knew that Liang Xiao was an envoy of the Han Dynasty, but they didn't know that Liang Xiao had such a shooting skill. Seeing Liang Xiao showing such a skill, they realized how outrageous they had just made a mistake.

Although Pang Shuo, Alpha and others have extraordinary martial arts skills, the one with the best martial arts skills is undoubtedly the envoy of the great Han Dynasty in front of them.

This exquisite archery technique is probably just like this even if the Huns's archer came.

Liang Xiao handed the black bow to Paris, and his calm eyes swept across the faces of the mercenaries, his tone was calm and he was indescribable.

"Everyone, I am not choosing ordinary archers now. For those who are like that, there are more people in the defenders of Suye City. I am choosing a archer who can serve as snipers. The advance deposit is only part of the reward, and more rewards will be determined by the number of Huns and official positions you shot and killed. I have the money. Whether you can get it depends on your ability."

The mercenaries looked at each other, and no one was embarrassed to speak. Liang Xiao's words were domineering, but not exaggerated at all. With his magical archery skills in front of him, no one dared to say that he was bragging.

Liang Xiao waved his hand, and ten Nie maids came over with trays full of gold. Stacks of gold coins immediately shattered everyone's eyes. The mercenaries opened their mouths wide and their eyes were lit up. If they were a little suspicious of Liang Xiao just now, they now completely believe it. Liang Xiao is indeed rich and there is no element of deliberately making things difficult for others.

"The money is here, please show your skills." Liang Xiao said and turned around and left.

The mercenaries looked at each other, took off their bows, moved their bodies, and started preparing for the activities. Most people did not expect to get first and second grades, and they could shoot two arrows, and a third grade. After all, a distance of a hundred steps was too far for most people, and they were not sure of shooting, so they could only bet on luck.

Liang Xiao returned to the steps, and was greeted by Ampass's awe-inspiring gaze. "Sir, I am really the Apollo of the great man. I have never heard of such exquisite archery."

Liang Xiao smiled modestly. "Apollo dares not be a fool. I just like to shoot archery. This is nothing. I am still far from being able to shoot a leaf at such a distance."

"Shot a leaf?" Ampass was shocked. He looked at the target in the distance. "At such a long distance, the target is as big as a leaf. How small will a leaf be? If you can't even see it, how could it be shot?"

Liang Xiao smiled. He also felt it was unlikely. However, Huan Yuan also said that if you want to practice the magical archery technique of wearing a hundred steps through the sun, it is no longer enough to just practice shooting. Eye training is more important. He doesn't know how to practice the sun, but it is basically impossible to practice the sun.

"Yes, that is the real arrow god." Liang Xiao said with emotion: "That will be the goal I pursue throughout my life. As for whether it can be achieved, it depends on whether the gods bless it."

Ampas was amazed. "Is my king willing to form an alliance with the Han Dynasty? A hero like a noble envoy will definitely defeat the Huns and Wusuns in the future and bring peace to the grassland."

"I am willing to fight side by side with the Lord and seek peace together."

"That's my honor." Ampass returned the gift politely.

After one day, more than 400 mercenaries were assessed.

One-third of the infantry were eliminated, less than two hundred people won the second level, and more than thirty people got the third level, and only seven people got the first level.

The pass rate of the archers was even lower. More than 100 people participated in the assessment, only twenty-three people won the third grade, eleven people won the second grade, and there was no one in the first grade. The archer mercenaries who lost the election felt it was embarrassing and asked Liang Xiao to try again according to the conventional standards. If they followed this score, they would be discredited.

Liang Xiao accepted their request and used an eighty-step distance instead, which was also twelve arrows, shot six or more, and was included in the third level.

After the assessment, more than ten people were selected, and the remaining people could only sigh. The distance of eighty steps is still a difficult goal for many people.

After repeated begging from the mercenaries, Liang Xiao relaxed his requirements again and conducted an assessment based on sixty steps. Those who shot more than six arrows in twelve arrows were selected, but the commission was only equal to the third-level infantry, only one-third of the third-level archers.

At this time, the mercenaries' arrogance had been tortured completely. They happily accepted the price and conducted an assessment again. This time, the pass rate of the mercenaries increased significantly. Except for a dozen people who really couldn't do it, most of them met the requirements.

According to their respective levels, through the cooperation of large and small teams, Liang Xiao divided the mercenaries into eight groups. One group consisted of first-class infantry mercenaries and second-class archer mercenaries, with a total of eighteen people, directed by him, and the other seven groups each had fifty or sixty people, respectively, commanded by seven well-known mercenary leaders, including the wild buffalo and the spirit fox.
