Radiant Enemy

This was Arjuna's first time to participate in an actual combat exercise. The weapons that Hilgna prepared for them were the sharp wooden sticks and the bows and arrows wrapped in white cloth and stained with lime.

As the referee, Ma Xi would send that person off once there were white marks on his body.

All parties are hidden in their respective command fields, and they only need to subdue the opponent's leader or take away the opponent's flag, and the actual combat exercise is over.

Arjuna was very excited when he heard about this practical exercise.

Obviously, this is the prototype of formation, and it is much more interesting than simple boring training.

He and his brothers formed a small team. Although Hilgner divided the students into two camps at the beginning, because of the conflicts and boundaries between the noble children, these noble children were divided into several small teams. As a result, several times All victories were won by Sudra.

But rather than winning, it is better to say that most of the reason is that the internal friction of the enemy gave them a chance.

Hilgner rubbed his chin, thinking that this could also make the students aware of the intrigue between countries in advance, and finally made these divided teams all work as a camp.

In this way, the noble children who should have the upper hand, but because of internal divisions, are no match for the united Sudra team as a single force, and it can be said that they have been defeated repeatedly.

"Isn't it very interesting." Hilgner sat on the soft chair with a smile, and a scene of disciples discussing methods in their own positions appeared in front of them.

"It's boring to rely solely on force to crush them, but I'm looking forward to them using their wisdom."

Although Hilgna is partial to Sudra, he will never be partial.

After the noble children were divided into four teams, the rule was that the team that captured the most flags was the winner.

There are a total of five teams with positions and flags, and there is no time limit - after all, night battles will also be encountered - when one team takes away more than three flags, the drill will end.

This also means that the team that is recognized as the weakest will be targeted first and then eliminated.

"—Are we the weakest team?!" After learning this, Arjuna looked at the two elder brothers with wandering eyes in disbelief.

Pandu has five children, and Arjuna is the third son. His two younger brothers have not yet reached the age set by Hilgna, but Arjuna's elder brothers Jianzhan and Bhijun should not be the same age. The weakest team?

"We lost in the number of people." Brother Jianzhan said helplessly.

"Although we have united Brahmins and Kshatriyas in other countries, our number is overwhelmingly insufficient compared to the children of the Chiguo. In addition, the eldest son of the Chiguo is always staring at us. After a few downs , we became the weakest team."

The hard battle is also very helpless, because of Hilgner's intentional laissez-faire, the result is Infernal Affairs. People who are bribed by the enemy hide in their team and secretly send the news to the enemy, so that they are at the bottom of every rehearsal .

"If it's the last one, will you be kicked out of here?" Arjuna asked.

"That's not true, but if it's No.1, not only will it be rewarded by the teacher, but the team that has won consecutive championships can also make a reasonable request to Teacher Derona."

Although No.2 also has rewards, it doesn't have the last special reward that can be requested to Hilgna.

You know, this is an excellent opportunity to get close to Hilgnara, no matter how weird the question is, Hilgna can solve it for them.

Thinking that those Sudras not only beat themselves, but also got suitable weapons made by Hilgna himself, Jianzhan and Bhijun were so envious and jealous.

However, so far, the teams that have received special rewards are basically the teams of Sudra, and No. 2 is captured by each team in turn.

For this reason, Jian Zhan knew that many people secretly asked those Sudras how to become stronger.

Unexpectedly, those Sudras did not hide their secrets, but taught them all, but this worked in the Sudra team, but it may not work in their team of Brahmins and Kshatriyas. .

In the final analysis, it is because the Sudra team will only become the side that is chased and beaten by other noble children if they do not form a group, but once they become the strongest, other teams that are not strong enough will take the initiative to come to alliance with them, or even temporarily ignore it. their pariah status.

As a result, during the actual combat exercise, the positions of the nobles and the untouchables were switched. The Sudra, who was supposed to be eliminated by cannon fodder the first time, turned out to be the biggest winner.

Arjuna looked at the blue flag erected in the field, and felt a rare headache.

Sitting beside Hilgner boredly, Masi also looked like he wanted to join in, and glanced at Hilgner from time to time.

"Father, can I really not join them?"

"No, if you go in, it will break the balance of the exercise."

Hilgna brutally refused.

"What's more, with your strength, except for Karna, other people are not your opponents, so it's meaningless for you to participate."

"But No.1 can get a special reward from my father, right? I want it too!" Ma Si said unwillingly. He pulled the grass on the ground here and there, and soon there was only one grass left near him. Short and bald turf.

Hilgna rested his chin in his hand, his eyes gliding over Arjuna's body: "If the camp can be divided into two again, I will allow you to participate."

When the horse neighed, he simply lay back and gave up: "Forget it, this is even more impossible. Those nobles have higher hearts than the sky, and they don't want to be led by others."

Hilgner smiled, noncommittal.

Sudra's team has Karna, which is one of the reasons why they will be the strongest team.

As the leader, the girl Midili is also an excellent student. Her strength and wisdom often make those Brahmins and Kshatriyas secretly think that she was born in the wrong birth.

Had she been a male, not a Sudra—even if she was just a Vaisya of the commoner class, she would have achieved far more than that.

So what if you win the exercise?She is just a sudra, and she is a woman, and she will always marry in the end.

Temporary victory does not mean future victory. The noble children use this to comfort their self-esteem injured by Midili's defeat.

But Midili was not reconciled. She was also the first to realize that Hilgna taught them the knowledge of these Sudras not simply for the purpose of making the Sudras a training team for Brahmins and Kshatriyas, but to truly are cultivating them.

—Hilgner handed over to her the strongest weapon that could break class and break her own destiny.

Midili is just a sudra, poor and white, and a low-class citizen who can't even give a dowry.

And she was Hilgner, when she passed by the market, she saw her father was about to sell Midili as a child prostitute to a man who could be her grandfather.

At that time, Midili was resisting, she was resisting her father who was like heaven and earth, she was obviously beaten all over, but she was still struggling desperately.

This was the first time Hilgna saw a girl with flames in her eyes that hadn't been completely extinguished after traveling in this land for so long.

So he rescued Midili, and Midili also gave Hilgna an even bigger surprise.

The black-haired and brown-skinned girl spread out the crude topographical map, and then gave instructions in an orderly manner: "The scouts are going to find out where the other teams are stationed, and be prepared to fight for several days—food and water are all ready. ?"

"It's all ready, it's been prepared before the drill begins."

"Karna, according to the original plan, you, as our general, will attack other teams, and it would be great if you can successfully capture their battle flags. If you can't, don't force yourself to take those pursuers to the place where we set up an ambush. .”

Karna nodded, indicating that he understood.

Sudra's team attaches great importance to every drill, and has made various investigations and preparations before the start.

Not only the preparation of maps and materials, but also the personalities, preferences and shortcomings of the team members who will become their enemies-there were a few times when the Sudras took advantage of each other's personalities to make them fight first, In the end, the snipe and clam competed and the fisherman successfully got the fruit of victory.

——This is not just an ordinary actual combat exercise, but Hilgna is teaching them how to lead the army and win.

On the other side, Arjuna and his brothers have also made a decision.

"Let's move our position immediately. The teacher never said that you can't take the flag with you, right?" Arjuna said decisively after receiving a negative answer.

"There are fewer people and fewer people. Our mobility is much stronger than other teams. When they are in a melee, we can sneak in and attack their positions in one fell swoop. In short, we have to capture a flag first!"

Arjuna couldn't bear that he would lose, especially not to that Karna who he thought was hateful the moment he saw it!

It may also be a coincidence, just when Arjuna's decision to take the initiative to attack took effect, and successfully captured the flag of the other team and then retreated, they encountered the Karna team who also captured the flag and was about to return to the position.

The battle is imminent.

To Hilgna's surprise, Arjuna's perfect bow technique knocked out the other team members behind Karna, but similarly, Arjuna's team was also confused by Karna's attack. Many people were eliminated, including his second brother BJun.

At the same time, Karna and Arjuna asked their other team members to take the captured flag back to the position first, and they cut off the rear by themselves.

In the end, only Arjuna and Karna were still confronting each other.

"I will never lose to you!" Arjuna raised the bow in his hand.

"I will never lose!" Karna raised the long stick in his hand.

The combat situation of the rehearsal ended faster than Hilgner imagined, and not long after nightfall, the winning team appeared.

It is still the victory of the Sudras. This time, the Sudras can be said to be linked together. Not only are they aggressive, but they also provoked two other teams to fight, and then took the opportunity to win their flag.

After asking Ma Nei to bring all the single and injured students back from the forest, Hilgner counted the students and found that there were two missing.

- Missing Karna and Arjuna.

But just when Hilgna was about to let the neighing horse bring them all back, he heard a huge roar from the distant mountain peak.

At that moment, Hilgna's expression sank, and he disappeared from the eyes of his disciples in an instant, appearing in the middle of Arjuna and Karna who were fighting.

Arjuna's arrow and Karna's long stick were blocked by his wrist.

If Hilgna hadn't appeared, the hot stick and the arrow filled with the power of the gods might have hurt Karna and Arjuna directly.

"So far."

Hilgna frowned and said coldly.

He glanced over Karna who was standing silently, Arjuna who pursed his lips and lowered his hands, and the surrounding trees and bushes as if they had been ravaged by a violent storm, and he understood clearly.

Arjuna actually awakened the power from the gods during the battle with Karna, but because he couldn't control the power well, Karna also used the power of the gods in order not to be injured.

But Hilgner absolutely couldn't let their forces collide, otherwise, if the mountain was blown up, the aftermath alone would be enough for him to have a headache.

Before bringing the two top students back to the temple, Hilgna announced No.1 and No.2 this time.

Although No.1 is Sudra's team as always, but this time No.2 is Arjuna's team.

Not only did they keep their flag, but they were no longer the weakest team because they captured the other team's flag.

But Arjuna was not satisfied. After all, his goal was to become Hilgna's favorite and most outstanding disciple, and let Hilgna teach him all his abilities. How could the mere No.2 satisfy him? ?

But Jian Zhan and Bi Jun are very happy, at least they are no longer the last ones this time, they have to eat every bite, so they have to take their time!

After this actual combat exercise, Arjuna and Karna seemed to be on the same page. Not only Arjuna worked hard to defeat Karna in various aspects, but even Karna seemed to be inspired. With a heart of victory and defeat, he refuses to be at a disadvantage at all.

If Hilgner were to describe them, they would probably be natural enemies, but opponents who could promote each other.

Time flies, even the young Arjuna has gradually grown into a tall and straight boy, and his two younger brothers also joined Hilgna's disciples.

Many things have happened in the past few years. For example, Midili, the leader of the ever-victorious Sudra team, left this land, and many Sudras also left here with her; Zhou Na has already become one of the best among all the disciples. In the later actual combat practice, he and Karna's team had a mutual victory and defeat, which made the practice more intense and interesting.

By the way, because Karna and Ah Zhou are the only opponents who can compete with Ma Si, Ma Si finally got his wish and joined the actual combat exercise.

"Teacher, I'm in."

Arjuna straightened his clothes, and after confirming that his appearance and robes were perfect, he solemnly raised his hand and knocked on Hilgna's door.

Standing out from the crowd of students, and having more opportunities to get in touch with Hilgna, Arjuna discovered that his teacher was excellent in martial arts and knowledgeable, but sometimes he would reveal some cuteness that didn't match his age.

——Although as a disciple, it would be rude to think that your teacher is cute, but Ah Zhou just couldn't help himself not to think that way.

Just like now.

He clearly heard Arjuna's knock on the door, and allowed him to come in, but Hilgna was still lying on the bed made of jade, hugging the pillow that Midili made for him with a sleepy face, and took a nap. Little yawn.

The soft white hair exuded a faint luster in the sun, making Arjuna involuntarily recall the appearance of Hilgna's hair floating in the clear water when he first met him, and the appearance of the hair stained by water. Wet, the robe slightly reveals the flesh-colored body.

"Teacher, are you in good health?"

Arjuna approached Hilgna, he already knew the special situation of Hilgna when he was weak, and even saw Karna and the horse neighing as a human body heater for Hilgna when he was cold.

It's hard to say what Ah Zhou felt at that moment. If he were to describe it now, it would probably be disbelief with some doubts, envy with a little jealousy, and unwillingness to admit defeat.

——Obviously I am also your disciple, am I not?Why can't I do what they can do?

Arjuna would never admit that he won No.1 in the actual combat exercise. When Hilgna asked him what special reward he wanted, he wanted to ask Hilgna to let him be his heater for a moment.

"It's Arjuna. I'm fine, what about Masi and Karna?" Hilgna rubbed his eyes, although he taught Masi, Karna and Arjuna all these years of martial arts and knowledge, It is rare for him to be tired and sleepy, to have chills and fever as before, but the power of this world's rules to suppress him has not slowed down much.

Every time you use your strength, you must calculate the timing and calculate carefully.

"They are teaching a new batch of disciples who came in. I'm here to call Teacher to you."

Arjuna stepped forward to pick up the robe hanging on the wooden rack for Hilgna who had already sat up, and then put it on for Hilgna.

Hilgner calculated the time, and there were several batches of graduates from him. After a while, Arjuna, Karna, and Ma Si should also leave.

And his allies have also made preparations in the past few years, and it is time to start the prelude to the plan.

Hilgna glanced at Arjuna who showed affection and respect to him, and didn't say much, but followed Arjuna to the location of his new batch of students.

When Arjuna was told by Hilgna that he had graduated and could leave from here, his first reaction was that he didn't want to leave. He still wanted to be by Hilgna's side and continue to listen to his teachings.

But Arjuna reacted quickly, realizing that his two elder brothers also left at this age. He was not Hilgna's biological son, Ma Si, and besides the relationship between student and teacher, he had no relationship with Hilgna. If there is no other connection, what reason is there to stay here?

After being silent for a while, Arjuna solemnly bid farewell to Hilgna: "Mr. Derona, I will never forget what you taught me. I will keep everything you taught in my heart and never Fallen your name!"

Arjuna reluctantly bid farewell to this bamboo forest, and when he embarked on the road he came from, he was filled with emotion.

At the beginning, he was full of anxiety, but now he is no longer afraid.

Not only because Arjuna has become powerful, but also because this is Hilgna's bamboo forest, where he grew up.

On the way back, Arjuna met a god, who was mad because he couldn't get enough to eat. Arjuna solved this trouble for him, and finally the god gave him a longbow named Gandiba. Gave it to Arjuna.

Starting from this, Arjuna's life, blessed by the gods and legendary, kicked off.

Karna is completely different from Arjuna. Although he has learned the most valuable knowledge from Hilgna, because Karna has never shunned the Sudras, and even helped them, and Karna is the adopted son of the coachman. What happened was deliberately exposed by the Brahmins and Kshatriyas who had been defeated by him and were angered by his straightforward words.

Because of Karna's clear conscience and never concealing it, Karna has become as humble as a mud-legged existence in the upper-class aristocratic society. Even his outstanding martial arts are considered to have used dishonorable methods Steal it from Hilgna.

They are clearly brothers from the same mother, and they also worshiped under the same teacher, but they have completely different destinies.

Arjuna was favored by the gods, and as if blessed by God, he repelled the invading monsters and enemies smoothly and neatly, so he was given the title of Hero by God.

And Karna fought more with the long spear that Hilgna made for him. He repelled the golems that invaded the civilians, allowing them to live and work in peace and contentment.

At the same time, if someone begged him reverently while he was taking his morning bath, it was indeed genuine and reasonable, and Karna would generously give him what that person asked for.

Just because he got the most precious thing when he bathed by the river in the morning, so Karna also wanted to give away the touch and satisfaction of being helped.

Because of this, Karna was called a hero of charity by many people who accepted his help.

Just as the two very different brothers were emerging, the news spread that the most famous beauty in this land, the black princess Banjali, was about to hold a son-in-law selection meeting.

The man who can become the husband-in-law of the black princess, embrace the beauty, and get the rich dowry must pass the barrier set by the black princess herself.

Arjuna glanced at the princes from various countries who had received the news from the corner of his eye, and found that most of them he had an impression of. They had also learned martial arts and knowledge under Hilgna's command, and many of them were still Arjuna. Zhou Na's defeat.

It's just that when Arjuna saw someone who shouldn't be here, his eyes froze.

The 'people who shouldn't be here' he was referring to were not Karna who was present behind the difficult enemy, but Ma Neigh who sat on the side of the black princess and was drinking wine calmly.

Masi will be here, which means...

—Hilgner is here too.

The author has something to say:

Although not many people read the Indian chapter, I still like it personally.

Caste is really a big hindrance to the development of India.
