Most people who are engaged in combat professions, or have some combat skills themselves, but cannot be called true swordsmen, will have an inexplicable understanding of their own power.
Ordinary people who know nothing about it will not be like this; neither will professional swordsmen who have truly experienced qualified and systematic training - only these people who have only a little knowledge can only be regarded as guys who have one foot in the door, and they are among the many. In many cases, the most joyful ones are those who jump without knowing it.
We have mentioned before that due to the difference between the two combat environments of the frontal battlefield of fully armed noble knights and the common street battles of lightly armed mercenaries, the professional combat system in the world of Rigar can be roughly divided into "fast". The typical mercenary fighting style is represented by "precise and ruthless", and the aristocratic fighting style is "steady and brutal".
——Extending this question, in fact, regarding "non-professional" combat professionals, in other words, they are mercenaries who have not experienced systematic training and learned various footwork methods and swordsmanship moves. , the difference between them and trained mercenaries like Mira and Joshua is completely enough to be described as "faction".
We have actually mentioned this matter once before, but the issue we did not explain at that time is: those mercenaries and ordinary people who are different from our white-haired girl from Luoan and have experienced rare professional swordsmanship training and learning. soldiers, how on earth are they going to fight? What do you rely on to fight?
——The answer is actually very simple: physical reaction.
One force can bring down ten. In a weapon fight using various murderous weapons, even if you have no skills, as long as you have enough brute force to wield the weapon and smash the enemy's blood into the air, you can still defeat your opponent and survive.
Martial skills did not exist from the beginning. They are some experiences and lessons gradually summed up by generations of predecessors in flesh-and-blood combat. The meaning of its existence is just to make swordsmen bleed less and sweat more. You don't have to go through any detours again to gain superior sword skills.
Those who have defeated their opponents and survived in many fortune-telling battles by relying on their excellent physique and reflexes will definitely have some key points of their own, if they are not really arrogant and arrogant. Even to some extent, a physically weak swordsman like our little Mira who has learned professional swordsmanship cannot beat a mercenary from a wild background who has never learned anything.
Battle is always complicated. It cannot be summarized by one or two conditions. The battlefield situation changes rapidly. Even swordsmen of the level of Henry and Joshua often need to consider the situation before making decisions. And everyone, everyone who tries to summarize the entire battle with one or two simple factors will die first when they actually encounter this situation.
Physical abilities will change over time - but the understanding of martial arts will always accompany you throughout your life.
Noroko, who used brute force and body reflexes to defeat opponents who learned sword skills, may laugh at sword skills today and for a period of time in the future as a pedantic and incompetent thing that does not know how to adapt, but when the opponent's physical ability increases with age, The changes have reached the same level as him, coupled with their deepening understanding of combat, they will all be defeated without exception.
Guys who single-handedly try to prove that they are better than centuries of sword masters are usually people who have lost their minds and have no clear understanding of their abilities - and this brings the topic to In this scene we are in now.
The only mercenaries hired by the hotel owner were a group of seven led by the captain of the mercenary group called Memphis, plus Henry, Mira, and Joshua, a total of ten people - the reason was naturally related to the cost, ten people Each mercenary needs two silver coins per day multiplied by one week, which is already one hundred and forty silver coins. If there is one more person, there will be another expenditure. If you can save it, you will naturally want to save it.
The hired mercenaries, including Henry and Mira, were all blue cards or above. There were about ten people in total, plus more than twenty mercenaries who were scattered with the businessmen and who wanted to come down to find jobs. People, the rest are all ordinary people with no fighting ability.
"You bastards killed Walbin!" "Qiang——" A few green-card mercenaries with half a bucket of water and insufficient understanding of their abilities stood up angrily because their companions were killed, drew their weapons and fired at them. He rushed towards an enemy ten times his own size.
The businessman and the blue-brand mercenary at the back left them behind and ran decisively towards the back. One side was panicked, while the other side was relatively calm and composed.
"Haaaah——" "Duowu——" "Dangqiang——!" The bandits using spears and bows directly killed two mercenaries, but then another one rushed forward and directly split one. On the back of the bandit's neck, he relied on his superb reflexes to confidently draw his sword, and then the smile on his face froze forever before it could bloom.
"Strike--" The spears stabbed from several directions were unavoidable. The overwhelming advantage in numbers allowed these bandits to successfully eliminate several green-label mercenaries who overestimated their capabilities.
"Lift the table!" Memphis's voice came from behind. None of the mercenaries, including him and Henry, had any armor or weapons. I think these bandits must have observed all this in secret before arresting them. The mercenary captain took advantage of their chance to rest and came to attack. The mercenary captain gritted his teeth and looked a little bit blaming the store owner. After all, if he hadn't insisted on them helping to reinforce it, the warning would have been outside even if the other party still attacked. Embarrassed.
"Bang!" "Boom!" "Ahhh!" The food on the table spilled all over the floor. The overturned table immediately formed an effective defense, and several arrows were inserted into it, hitting a businessman who was unable to dodge. He was hit in the neck and fell down.
"Hey, hey, hey - don't shoot indiscriminately, we still need these big men to hand over the money." The man with a shrill voice from before, who seemed to be the bandit leader, spoke again, Mira, Henry and Ai Monica and Joshua hid behind the same table. This square table was not very spacious, so they could only squeeze together and lower their bodies to avoid being hit by arrows.
"I said boss, we just want some silver coins here. As long as you hand over all the money, we will stop killing people. What do you think of this deal?" He said this, dozens of armed bandits They have an overwhelming advantage against half of the mercenaries who don't even have equipment. The dozen or so blue-brand mercenaries with equipment hesitated. They did not know each other well, so it was naturally impossible to talk about cooperation at this juncture.
"I..." The innkeeper who was hiding next to Memphis in the chaos said a syllable at a loss, and the mercenary captain with a brown ponytail immediately interrupted him loudly: "Don't fight with these bastards Negotiate, our Link mercenary group is here and we won’t let this happen!”
He declared loudly as if on purpose. As expected, this angered the group of thieves. Seven or eight arrows were fired directly at the table where Memphis was sitting. One of the arrows from the crossbow pierced directly. The tabletop was so frightened that the hotel owner was trembling.
"We must take action." Memphis glanced around, then picked up a bench from the ground: "I'll count one, two, three. Let's go up together, use the table and stool as shields, and pay attention to the movements of the archers." He After saying this, he looked at Henry and Joshua on the other side, but he didn't say anything because of the emergency, and just nodded to the sage.
"Mira, protect Emonica." Henry said to the white-haired Luoan girl, and then looked at Joshua: "Can you roughly judge the direction?" The red-haired swordsman also said Leaving the weapon in the room, he understood that Henry was worried about his eyes, so he nodded, but immediately shook his head.
"It must be an object that makes a sound." Joshua explained as briefly as possible due to time constraints. Henry nodded. With just one sentence, the sage understood. He was not worried that Joshua would be confused because of the complexity of the sounds in the field. Losing judgment of direction, because if this were the case, he would have died long ago.
"Tch, I've decided. After we kill you all, we will search for the property ourselves!" All of this happened in the blink of an eye, and the bandits moved forward in confusion under the instructions of the leader. "Charge!!" At the same time, Memphis roared and threw the chair in his hand forward, then raised the table as a shield and rushed forward.
"Poof -" A bandit was thrown directly in the face by a chair. His nose was broken and he rolled his eyes before falling down. The long sword and shield in his hand fell to the ground with a clear sound. Joshua frowned. Listening carefully, Henry and Mira on the side looked at each other, nodded, turned over and rushed out.
“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!” Because the windows were closed, the dim light and chaotic terrain provided excellent conditions at the moment. The bandits rushed up and entered a state of war with the mercenary group. The ones behind them Ranged archers were thus unable to provide support. The blue-brand mercenaries guarding the merchants thought about it and then drew their weapons and rushed forward. Henry strode to the right side. Several merchants were retreating in panic. A bandit holding a long knife saw them. In the darkness, the tall sage rushed over and swung out a knife in a panic.
"Pa--" The sage accurately grasped his wrist and twisted the long knife in his hand aside, away from him. Then he pushed the opponent's chin with a small movement with his other hand and at the same time used Feet to rub his calves.
"Bang!" The back of the robber's head came into close contact with the ground. Henry stepped on his neck and crushed his cervical vertebrae. The robber rolled his eyes and died, and the sage then slipped his hand onto his hand. The palm holding the knife pulled out the long knife before the body started to stiffen, and then rushed towards an enemy holding a shield in front of him.
"Mike!" One of the mercenaries in Memphis on the other side lost his life in the impact. Fortunately, the mercenaries with weapons also came to help and finally maintained a better situation. "Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" by the conflicting bandit in front of him, he stabbed at Henry, but his trajectory was very easy to predict. The sage dodges to the right while closing the distance, and then grabs the opponent's gun barrel with his left hand. He held the long knife high and cut it directly.
"Kacha——" The half spear tip made of wrought iron fell to the ground.
"Damn it!" The bandit dropped half of the spear shaft in his hand and reached for the long sword at his waist. However, Henry's movements were faster than his. He turned around and hit the bandit's hand hard with the back of the long knife. The entire sword was knocked back on his elbow. "Ugh..." The bandit let out a cry of pain, and the sage used his other hand to open the shield and stabbed him in the throat with a knife.
"Go to hell!" Killing two people in a row, he rushed very far forward and became an obvious target. The two bandit archers drew their short bows at him, but Henry had already raised his shield and "seize-seize- "The ground blocked these two arrows. "Qiang -" "Joshua!" He shouted and at the same time used the tip of the knife to pick out the long sword at the waist of the dead contradictory bandit. Then there was a running sound of "dong dong dong" from behind, and Henry held it in one hand. Holding a sword in his hand, he strode forward to cover Joshua. "Take--take--" Two more arrows were blocked by him with his shield, and the red-haired swordsman just missed him. He grabbed the long sword on the ground.
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa." "Cang-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...""Cang——ka" several more outnumbered bandits rushed towards this side. The one who attacked Henry was a sword and shield player. The sword in his hand slashed Xian's body. A lot of sawdust was splashed on the surface of the shield, but the sword blade got stuck in the shield.
"..." The sage said nothing. He turned his wrist with his left hand holding the shield and pulled the opponent's entire long sword out of his hand. He threw it to the ground. Henry put the long sword behind him and followed. He held his shield forward and pressed forward.
"Click——!" He pressed the protruding metal shield cap on the wooden shield against the upper end of the opponent's shield cap. The sage pressed the bandit's shield hand hard and his whole body immediately tilted forward, and the shield in his hand fell. When he reached his lower abdomen, he could no longer defend his upper body, so he subconsciously let out a panicked "Ah!" sound, and in the next second he was stabbed from the side by a long sword that pierced his throat.
"Wha—" Joshua drew his sword. "Go on!" Memphis, who was trying to block with a table on the other side, seemed to be in a bad situation. Henry used his toes to pick the cross guard of the sword that fell on the ground and then shouted a reminder, and then kicked the whole sword hard. The sword slipped.
"Hey!" The mercenary team leader threw out the scarred table in his hand, then rolled on the spot and picked up the sword. Two more mercenaries fell to the ground. The loss of the bandits in front caused the archers in the rear to start. be brought into play.
"Be careful!" A female scream sounded from behind. Mira pushed Emonica to the ground, and a stray bullet was inserted into the place where they were originally. The scene began to become more violent and bloody. "Come over here!" The hotel owner waved to them and shouted, and all the businessmen also crouched down and ran towards the hall behind the hotel bar. Henry and Joshua in the front cooperated smoothly like old friends for many years. The shield in the sage's hand was seriously damaged after being hit many times. He threw it away, then held the knife with both hands and slashed horizontally with a small amplitude. The blow hit the left hand of an archer holding a bow.
"Wow!" The opponent cried out in pain, and Joshua once again used his superb "long style" thrust to end the man's life.
——Like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, with the cooperation of the two skilled swordsmen on the right, the thieves' rear array was completely killed. They were originally a mob without any order. When they saw that the situation was not good, these The archer immediately threw away his comrades and turned around to run away. Memphis, a group of blue-brand mercenaries, Henry and Joshua attacked from front to back. The remaining ten or so bandits who rushed out from the front were quickly killed by them on the spot. .
"Chase!" There were still more than 20 people, including the leader, taking advantage of the chaos to escape. The mercenary captain shouted, and everyone picked up their shields on the ground and pursued the victory. However, at this moment, a high-pitched voice sounded in the distance. The bandit leader laughed wildly.
"Hahahaha, let's see what you do!" he shouted, and then a group of people who rushed outside saw the dozen or so remaining archers lighting rockets with flints and then opening their bows to shoot.
"call out--"
The fire that drew a wonderful parabola fell on the newly reinforced wooden boards, the flames burned them, and the bandits took this opportunity to immediately turn around and run away.
"Damn it!" Memphis yelled loudly, and everyone behind him planned to go back to put out the fire, but coincidentally, at this time, lightning flashed across the sky again.
"Boom Ka——"
The heavy rain poured down, turning everyone who ran out and the bandits in the distance into drowned rats.
The wind began to howl, heralding the arrival of the greatest power in the tropics, beyond any individual or even kingdom. (To be continued.)
