"So, I want you to head out with a team of Night Watchn today and clear out that filthy group of fish-slling monsters. Or just chase them upstream; that's fine too. Next week, once my injuries heal, I'll personally lead a team to eradicate them all!"
Hamilton said with a solemn expression.
Glimr Lake is the water source for Flashgold Town, and if it were contaminated by fish people, as the sheriff, he would bear an undeniable responsibility.
Upon hearing this, Rein started to think quickly.
Erasing fish people wasn't sothing he could not consider, especially since his Night Watchman Profession Level was about to increase. Indeed, a real battle presented a great opportunity.
However, he didn't know much about the group of fish people or their strength, so he decided it was best to ask first.
"Lord Hamilton, about the strength of these fish people...?"
"Rest assured, the intelligence reports indicate that only a small fish people tribe has moved near Glimr Lake, and their numbers are not large."
Hamilton continued, fingertips crossed beneath his chin:
"The majority of fish people's combat ability is generally below that of militian. It's just that their numbers are a bit large, and they breed rapidly, much like wild weeds that grow wildly every year, making them impossible to eradicate completely."
"Additionally, when they encounter an enemy they cannot defeat, they quickly dive underwater to hide. Therefore, Rein, if I were you, I would find a way to lure the fish people away from the water before striking hard."
An injured Hamilton detailed his experience fighting the fish people.
"Okay! Lord Hamilton, but I currently don't have a suitable weapon. Could you lend a Dual-Handed Greatsword?" Rein thought for a mont, then nodded in agreent.
Since Hamilton had made it clear that the number of fish people wasn't large and their strength was not formidable, and considering he wasn't going to fight alone but with a squad of Night Watchn, it was a suitable real battle opportunity.
There was no reason not to agree—through it, he could not only gain so valuable combat experience but also improve his Night Watchman Profession Level.
Additionally, if the fish people continued to breed, it would directly impact the water safety of Flashgold Town. By defeating the fish people, he would also be protecting himself and his family.
"Hahaha, a Dual-Handed Greatsword, you say? Of course, follow ." Hamilton laughed heartily and gave Rein a aningful glance.
That made Rein sowhat puzzled.
Once Rein followed Hamilton to a small partition behind his office and saw a rack full of various short swords, longswords, bastard swords, and dual-handed greatswords, he couldn't help but feel envious.
However, there was only one dual-handed greatsword there.
At that mont, Hamilton had already taken the dual-handed greatsword from the rack.
"Thank you!" Rein said as he took it, simultaneously giving Hamilton a thoughtful look.
It seed that the sheriff had guessed that he had been practicing the Giant Bear Sword Technique, which might explain the strange look he had given him.
It was probably because Hamilton had recognized it when Rein had killed a mutated hyena-man last ti.
After all, the characteristics of the Giant Bear Sword Technique were quite distinct.
Rein weighed the dual-handed greatsword Hamilton handed him, finding it was around forty pounds, a perfect weight for his use.
The blade was about one ter and forty centiters long, with a blood groove down the middle, a crossguard, and a poml at the end of the handle with a small counterweight ball. On the ball was the emblem of the Night Watchn: a figure holding a longsword and a torch, with a bow slung over its back.
From the white forging patterns at the blade, this was a rare fine steel dual-handed greatsword.
You see, a fine quality fine steel knight's longsword would cost over a dozen imperial gold coins, and naturally, a dual-handed greatsword was even more expensive!
Here, when we talk about fine quality, we refer to those knight's longswords that can be used for high-intensity combat, not the common iron swords that militian could own.
Those iron swords are more than ten tis cheaper, costing only a few silver coins, and virtually every small town's blacksmith could forge one.
But a good-quality dual-handed greatsword, not only is the skill required for forging one higher than that of a similar level longsword, but the quality of the steel selected for the blade is also crucial. It needs high-quality steel and an experienced blacksmith to confidently forge a fine dual-handed greatsword.
"It's been a long ti since soone in the Night Watchman used a dual-handed greatsword like you. This dual-handed greatsword is also part of my personal collection, Rein, do you like it?"
"Of course I like it!"
In fact, what Rein was thinking was more like, "Like it? A good weapon is half the life of a warrior, absolutely indispensable!"
"Rein, if you can clean up the rfolk for this ti, then this fine steel greatsword is my gift to you. It's also a reward for your assistance last ti in killing that frenzied werewolf."
Lord Hamilton said heartily.
"This...." Rein wanted to refuse, but he just couldn't let go of the greatsword.
The greatsword was of excellent material and superb craftsmanship, and its weight was also very suitable for the level of strength Rein currently possessed, he really couldn't find a reason to refuse.
"Thank you for your gift, my lord!"
When the two sat down in the office again, Lord Hamilton suddenly rembered sothing, took out several docunts from the office, and handed them to Rein, saying:
"One is the official docunt for you to join the Night Watcher's Army, which needs your signature."
"The other docunt records the rit event of your participation in killing the frenzied werewolf, which also needs your signature, then submission for archiving. This will serve as the basis for evaluating your rit Points, and also as your qualification for future promotions."
Rein took them and started reading carefully.
The first docunt was unproblematic, just a standard form that required his signature.
The second docunt detailed how Rein participated in killing the frenzied werewolf and the role he played, very detailed.
Additionally, the docunt already had Lord Hamilton's and two other Night Watcher squad leaders' signatures, likely to prevent the fabrication of deeds and for easy verification by superiors.
Then, Rein readily signed his na on it.
Lord Hamilton nodded with a smile and said, "Excellent, Rein. Once your docunts are officially approved, you'll be a mber of the Imperial Night Watcher's Army."
"It's my honor, Lord Hamilton."
"By the way, Lord Hamilton, besides promotion, does this rit have any other uses? Can it be used to exchange for so training resources, like frenzied beast at?"
"Haha, of course, there are quite a few things rit Points can be exchanged for."
"Once your rit Points co through this ti, you should have a good look."
"However, Rein, are you planning to use the rit points from this review to exchange for beast at? On this point, I wouldn't recomnd it." Lord Hamilton first shook his head, then gave a mysterious smile.
