Chapter 62: Goblins' Counterattack
After eating the food briefly, Yan Xu called Hammy and asked him to take out the dagger, and then corrected his movements so that he could learn to stab.
The foundation of martial arts starts from horse steps, but Yan Xu is not a disciple, but lets his servants have a little power to protect themselves, not to mention that the other party may not be able to comprehend the essence of it.
"Young man, do you want to come and have a discussion?" The old knight walked over with two wooden swords and a wooden shield, and said with a slight smile to Yan Xu.
Yan Xu was stunned for a moment, he didn't know why the other party came, but he was also very interested in the knights of this world, nodded and said, "I just wanted to ask for advice." ”
The old knight actually came with the previous mentality, wanting to impress the other party by showing his strength, and at the same time get closer to the relationship and win over a future powerful knight for his lord. But when the two sides faced each other, he realized that his idea was wrong, the other party was not a strong man in the future, but a warrior who had already walked on the road of the strong, and his plan was probably going to fail.
Both sides are holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, and the first choice is to use the shield to protect their vital points, only the warriors who have really experienced the battlefield know how important it is to protect themselves, no matter how sharp your attack is, but it is useless to be easily stabbed to death by a few minions.
Yan Xu didn't feel much pressure, so he took the lead in attacking, the old knight's heart sank, the opponent's momentum did not weaken, and his breath was very stable, and the first attack showed that the other party still had room to leave.
In the face of the attack, the old knight did not choose to parry with a sword, and against an opponent who did not know the details, it was not a good choice to block with a sword, but the old man chose to use a shield.
While raising the shield, the old knight gently tilted the angle of the shield, which could not only effectively resist the opponent's attack, but also remove part of the strength and save his own physical strength. The old knight has experienced a hundred battles, and his use of the shield is not inferior to that of a specialized shield warrior, and he understands the importance of preserving physical strength.
The arm holding the shield shook, and the old knight began to counterattack as if instinctively, and the wooden sword in his hand stabbed at the edge of Yan Xu's shield like a knight's spear. The strength here is the weakest, if the opponent's strength is a little lacking, it is easy to lose the center of gravity, causing the shield to shift, so that the sword will force the shield away and hit the opponent, even if it can't hit the vital point, it will cause effective damage. This kind of skill is not something that ordinary knights can master, not only must they have a keen sense of timing, but they must also be able to gather their forces together, so as not to scatter the power due to collisions, resulting in deviations in the angle of the sword stab, causing their own center of gravity to be unstable, but to expose flaws.
Most people think that knights are dressed like tin cans and wield swords to slash, but in fact their skills are not bad, and they are better at assassination than chopping.
Because the enemies faced by the knights are mainly knights, both sides have excellent armor, and it is difficult to cause greater damage by chopping alone, so the knight's sword used by the knight is long and sharp, and the center of gravity is back, which can be held in the hand like a small knight's spear, and can easily pierce the armor of the enemy knight under the acceleration of the war horse. Therefore, knights are also better at seizing the opportunity to kill with one blow, and powerful knights can even use wooden spears to penetrate iron armor, which shows that knights are not just brute force can be used.
The old knight used the best stab to show that he attached great importance to Yan Xu, and regarded the other party as an opponent who was not inferior to himself, so he took out his best skills very seriously.
In the face of the ferocious stabbing attack, Yan Xu also chose the shield defense, but he didn't expect the opponent's strength to be very condensed, although part of the strength was dispersed by the inclined shield, but it did not deviate much, the tip of the sword pointed directly at the shoulder, even if it was a wooden sword, at this speed and strength, even if he was wearing leather armor, he would break the collarbone.
Although the old knight's martial arts skills are not as good as Yan Xu's, he has experienced a hundred battles, and his control of strength is not inferior to that of Huaxia's outer masters, and he is also an opponent that should not be underestimated for Yan Xu, whose strength has been greatly reduced.
Inch!
Yan Xu didn't want to be defeated so easily, his eyes opened, he took out a little real ability, took root under his feet, his waist and horse were one, and his strength ran through his whole body, and the shield that was knocked off gathered a strong force in a very short distance and suddenly broke the wooden sword, and at the same time, the strong force was also transmitted along the wooden sword to the old knight's sword-holding hand.
I've never seen this kind of skill, but the monsters in this world that are more powerful than humans grab a handful, and the knight seems to be holding a heavy weapon and wearing heavy plate armor belongs to the role of the frontal gang, and actually attaches great importance to the skill of unloading, and when he is trained, he must often hold a sword and shield to face the heavy blow of the big stick, and even put on leather armor to let the strong person hit the chest and abdomen, so that the body remembers this feeling, and learns to unload the force in the constant collision.
This kind of training method is very barbaric, although it is already a very advanced training skill compared to the barbarians and orcs who rely on their body to eat, but in the eyes of Huaxia warriors, this is completely a crooked way, and even if they are practiced, they will go to half a life. It is also the physical fitness of the people in this world that is good enough, and the energy of heaven and earth is sufficient, so that they can train in such a way to avoid sudden death.
At the moment when the sword and shield collided, the old knight instinctively grasped the hilt of the sword, and flexibly rotated his wrist to unload most of the power while the sword body collapsed, and the rotating sword body also made it impossible for the enemy to take the opportunity to attack, which shows how rich the experience is.
"Combat skills!" The old knight said in surprise!
Even monsters have their own upper limit of strength, not to mention humans, and this biological upper limit can only be broken by magical professionals. It's a pity that the number of professionals is too small, and in the face of countless monsters, ordinary people are the main force.
The fundamental reason why professionals are powerful is that they can use all kinds of energy, and in addition to allowing them to break through their limits, they can also use various powerful skills, but ordinary people can't use skills.
However, the creativity of human beings is limitless, and they have summed up many combat skills through years of fighting, and the elites among them have summed it up to create combat skills that can burst into greater power in a short period of time and do not involve any energy system, and it is said that there are secret techniques that are comparable to the skills of professionals.
Combat skills are not a mass commodity, especially in this place with a strict class, except for the elite warriors who have experienced a hundred battles to comprehend naturally, only knights or aristocratic families have a systematic circulation.
Yan Xu's ability to use combat skills was beyond the expectations of the old knight, and he knew that he didn't comprehend it by himself by looking at his age, so his family was not simple. Maybe it's down now, but as long as the legacy is still there, it's only a matter of time before it rises.
It is difficult for a baron to keep such a talent, the old knight sighed, no longer actively attacked, but fed the tricks like an old timer teaching experience to the juniors, and even gave some advice.
Although it is strange that the old knight has changed, it is a rare opportunity, Yan Xu seized the opportunity to learn the fighting methods of the knights of this world and enrich his knowledge.
Looking at the old knight who turned to leave, Yan Xu didn't understand what the other party meant, but it was a good thing after all, and it was enough.
Through this battle, the main god crystal obtained the incomplete intermediate knight sword skills, but Yan Xu knew very well that the old knight did not have any reservations, after all, it was beyond the imagination of ordinary people to learn it at a glance, and the most likely thing is that this set of combat skills may not even be learned by the old knight, which shows that the secrecy of martial arts in this world is not inferior to that of the Huaxia sect.
Because the humans of this world are always struggling to death, their combat skills tend to be quick and practical, and they don't care about the dark injuries caused. Yan Xu was surprised by the lifespan of a warrior in this world after inquiring, unless he was born with a thick foundation, it was very rare to have a forty-year-old warrior, and even a warrior in his thirties was very rare.
Soldiers who have lost their ability to fight are miserable, and generally after using up their little savings, they either become vagabonds and die on the streets, or pick up their swords again and die on the battlefield, and few can die.
But thinking about it, Huaxia's martial artists don't seem to be much better, Yan Xu put down these and continued to teach Hami. And Hami was already stunned, the other party was a real knight, and the master was able to fight on par with the other party, which was really powerful, and he immediately studied more diligently.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the old knight had already fallen a lot from his peak state, it would be really difficult to win with Yan Xu's current strength, at least he would have to pay a price.
Not to mention the camp that gradually fell into calm, many goblins who escaped from the mercenaries in the depths of the forest, no matter what direction they fled, eventually converged in a mysterious ruins.
The frightened goblins pushed each other, none of them wanting to stand in front, apparently quite afraid of the ruins or what was in the ruins. But in this case, these goblins still haven't given up and left, and it is estimated that the ruins also have some relationship with them, at least to ensure that they continue to survive, at least most of them survive.
After one of the thinnest goblins was pushed into the ruins, less than a second, a thick wooden spear flew out of the way through the hapless goblin, and ended up hanging from a large tree with the wooden spear. If you look closely, the wooden spearhead is four or five inches deep into the trunk of the tree, allowing the goblin who is not yet dead to struggle and not move, which shows how terrifying the arm strength of the thrower is.
Strange voices emanating from the depths of the ruins, sounded similar to the language of goblins, but a little more complicated.
The goblins scrambled to describe the enemies they had encountered, and the damage their tribe had suffered, until an angry roar came from the ruins, and they lay on the ground like quails.
A troll over two meters tall walked out of the ruins with a bundle of wooden spears on his back, kicked the goblins in his way to the side, and stood in the open space and roared, apparently summoning something.
Although they looked down on these cowardly goblins, the trolls could not tolerate their mass slaughter. Goblins have a small chance of spawning Dryads and Dryads, both of which can evolve into fearsome trolls.
If it's a complete tribe of trolls, it doesn't care about these at all, even if all these goblins are killed, but obviously there are not many trolls in the ruins, and they even have to rely on goblins to evolve tree demons and evolve trolls to maintain.
Obviously, the act of opening up trade routes affected the reproduction of nearby goblin tribes, and eventually the survival of the trolls in the ruins, and they had to intervene.
With the troll's roar, fallen leaves were scattered in the nearby canopy, and pairs of scarlet eyes appeared in the canopy.
The troll waved his spear and kicked and struck the goblin in front of him, while the sound of movement was heard in the canopy behind him, apparently a summoned dryad or dryad.
Seeing them go, the troll snorted coldly and turned back to the ruins, not participating.
