Seeing that Lear actually took the initiative to attack, Catherine nodded involuntarily, Lear picked up the practice sword and walked towards Russo not far away, in the surprised eyes of everyone, he sneered: "Red-haired little girl, don't you want to challenge me? I'm in a good mood today, I'll give you a chance." Don't cry when you're beaten, I won't be soft. ”

Threatened by the power of the plane, and influenced by counter-swordsmanship in sword training, he already had an enlightenment. This kind of consciousness is not only the spirit of a warrior who does not flinch, but also the choice of faction - at present, his own interests are closely related to Catherine, and only by teaching Cruise a hard lesson will Catherine value him more.

In order to survive better, he has gradually transformed from an ordinary student to a mercenary.

He knew that he was not as good as Russo in terms of fighting, and that if he wanted to win, he had to start from other aspects, so he made up his mind, first overpowering Russo in momentum, and then using words to stimulate Russo's emotions.

Russo was young after all, and when he saw a peer who was obviously weaker than himself insulting him, he immediately became angry and raised his sword to attack.

The experienced Cruise reached out and grabbed Russo's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Don't be angry, he's provoking you." Remember, as long as you play normally, you can definitely defeat him, don't be provoked by his petty tricks. ”

As long as Catherine is not involved, Cruise is extremely clear-headed, but unfortunately once Catherine is involved, Cruise will not be able to control his emotions - he is too possessive.

Russo immediately woke up and took deep breaths to control his emotions.

The sinister Scar Los stepped forward and sneered at Lear: "Who should I be, it turns out to be the respected Young Master Lear." Who mixed your milk with spirits, why is your mouth full of nonsense? Look at your little arms and legs, you can't even walk steadily, and you are embarrassed to laugh at Russo? If you really want to practice swords, I will buy you a hen and give it to you, and you may be able to become a 'chicken slashing warrior' if you work harder." ”

The mercenary behind Cruise laughed, Scar Los was notoriously mean.

As soon as he interrupted like this, Russo's mood gradually calmed down.

"What a Scar Los is, these mercenaries don't have a fuel-efficient lamp. Lear thought to himself.

The other mercenaries saw what Scar Los meant, and together they began to mock Lear.

"Young noble master, you go home and collect taxes, such a difficult thing as a sword is not suitable for you. ”

"Count Lear, what about your family swordsman, how happy is it to make your family swordsman?"

"Russo, be careful, don't blow your breath and hurt the heir of the noble count. ”

“......”

Amid the men's laughter, the mercenaries from elsewhere leaned in, looking at Lear and Russo with interest.

Seeing Russo's growing confidence, Lear had to fight back.

He shouted: "I'm fighting Russo with a sword, what are you talking about?" Russo, let me ask you, are you going to fight with me tonight?"

Russo raised his head proudly and said disdainfully, "What's the matter?

Lear sneered, took a step forward, looked directly at him and said, "Despicable! I originally regarded you as a respectable opponent, but I didn't expect you to be so despicable! You know that my body is thin and weak, and after a day of walking, you even want to compete with me at that time, do you still have a little glory as a swordsman? Do you still have a little dignity as a mercenary? Do you have all the dignity of a mercenary? Do you have all the intrigue and trickery? I am really ashamed of you! You are simply a disgrace to the Flame Mercenary Group!"

Although Lear is not a good eloquent, he has at least received a higher education and has been baptized by the Internet, so he usually disdains it, but he has been bullied to the point of home, so there is no need to endure it.

If it is an old mercenary like Scar Los who is scolded, this method will not work much, but the red-haired Russo is just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, it is the age of blood and impulsiveness, and his head is full of honor, dignity, justice or face, where can he withstand this kind of provocation.

He was so ashamed that he even felt that everyone looked at him with disdain.

Scarlos immediately realized that something was wrong, in the Homan Empire, the method of attacking the enemy with words was called the "tongue sword", and the mercenaries who had been in the mix for many years understood that this was a dignified means of attack. He himself is proficient in this way, but it is rare for Lear to attack with a tongue and sword instead of insults and "righteousness".

He was about to fight back when Lear suddenly spoke: "Russo, I'll give you a chance to atone for your sins!" ”

The old mercenaries around him couldn't help but sigh lightly, but they didn't expect this noble young master to be young and have the essence of tongue and sword. Lear's hand is so wonderful, instead of saying "guilty" but "atonement", if Russo agrees to compete with the sword, he will first have the idea of "doing something wrong to correct", and compare the sword with a guilty heart, and his strength will be weakened by at least two percent.

Scar Los naturally couldn't let Lear gain the upper hand with the tongue sword, and was about to refute, but Susan, who was also proficient in the tongue sword and more venomous, saw Scar Los's intentions and spoke first.

"Red-haired boy, are you a man or not? Just throw in the towel! Every time I see your hair, I want to ask, have you seen your father?" said Susan.

The Starry Sky Continent has always revered blonde hair, while red-haired ones are considered inferior races or monsters that symbolize evil. However, the viciousness of her words is that many gypsies in the Starry Sky Continent are red-haired, and most gypsy women betray their **, she is actually scolding Russo for being a (female) girl.

Susan was right to scold him, Russo's mother was indeed a gypsy woman, and his father, even his mother, didn't know who it was.

Russo's eyes were red and he stared at Susan through gritted teeth.

Cruise wanted to stop Russo, but remembering the clumsy look he saw Lear last night, he hesitated for a moment and let go of his hand.

"Arrogant nobleman, I'll make you kneel in front of me and cry!" the red-haired Russo leaped lightly, delivering the most ferocious slash with a top slash. He has no way or ability to fight back against Susan, so he can only turn his shame and grief into strength and attack Lear.

Lear sneered in his heart, knowing that he had achieved his goal. An uncalm warrior is called a "forty-five second warrior" in the Starry Sky Continent, and forty-five seconds is three-quarters of a minute, which means that he can only exert seventy-five percent of his normal strength.

Jump attacks can only be better mastered by high-level fighters, and a beginner fighter's jump attacks are of little merit except for being more powerful.

Lear didn't know how strong the other party was, so he didn't dare to take it hard, but took a step back carefully.

Just as Russo was about to hit the ground, Lear seized the opportunity and strode forward to lunge at Russo's head.

A hint of disdain flashed in Russo's eyes, and as soon as he landed, he bent down and slammed his sword forward, slashing horizontally at Lear's leg.

Lear knew the basics of swordsmanship, and when Russo was short, he knew what his opponent was going to do next, so he moved the tip of his sword down, changed his stab to a split, and struck Russo in the head. When the enemy attacks his leg, attacking the enemy's unprotected head is the most common technique in split attacks.

Slightly startled, Russo had to give up attacking Lear's leg, raising his sword high to block Lear's slash, sprinting backwards and standing up straight.
