Chapter 819: Weapon Master?
"It's snowing!" Mu Feng rode on the black horse, sighed with emotion, and headed towards Geremi!
"Your Excellency!"
"Is it a messenger?"
"The gods have returned, oh oh!"
When he first left, Mu Feng was so ruthless, and what he said and did also broke the hearts of the villagers. But when they returned after a few months, the villagers were still very enthusiastic. I don't know if it's out of fear of 'God' or if it's really innocent.
"Joan of Arc?"
"If you return to the words of the Divine Envoy, the Holy Maiden is practicing her sword!"
"Sword practice?"
"Yes, I don't know what's wrong, in the past month, she has begged Master Demes to teach her swordsmanship!"
"Alright, I'll go see her!"
"Right ahead!"
"Stop, I'll go myself!"
Watching Mu Feng ride away, the villagers exchanged their heads and ears.
"Hey, have you seen that there is this phantom behind the Divine Envoy?"
"Well, it seems...... It's the same as when the Holy Maiden did. ”
"It's just that it seems...... I still can't see clearly. ”
"Well, you say, what did the gods do to find the Holy Maiden?"
"God knows!"
……
"Ho-ho, a-ha!"
"Stop! How many times have I taught you that swords are not used to chop, but to stab. Your sword is too thin and too long to be used for slashing, and a straight slash is more effective than a slash. On the training ground, Demes was not as good at talking as before, his expression was serious and scary, "Raise your head, hold your chest high, stabilize your center of gravity, and before your sword is pierced, you will fall!" ”
Bertrand stepped forward with a smile while knocking on the melon seeds: "Hey, don't be so serious, look at the scare you give the saint!" The reason why a saint is a saint is that she is a saint, and she cannot see blood on her hands. If you want to kill someone, the Lord Jesus did it at an early age, and will he be drained of blood and die? The saint is a symbol, and if she is to really stain her hands with blood, I am afraid that ...... The Holy See could not tolerate her. Maybe it will be used as an excuse to attack her. ”
In the distance, Mu Feng smiled slightly, this Bertrand is a little wise!
Demes frowned: "That's what you said, then...... So what else do I teach? ”
"You don't teach the saint to kill, you can teach her to defend!" Bertrand smiled, "The saint will definitely go to war in the future, right?" Even if she had guards around her, she couldn't be like a flag, standing still there, right? Moreover, the enemy will definitely take the initiative to aim at him. When the time comes, the saint can't kill, so she's ...... You can only practice the ability to defend, at least you must be able to protect yourself on the battlefield, right? ”
Demes's eyes lit up, and he slapped Bertrand hard: "What you kid said is reasonable, then ......"
"Wait, wait!" Seeing that the two of them had set her a seat, Joan of Arc hurriedly said, "I'...... Recently, the image of a female warrior in golden armor has been conjuring up in my mind! Occasionally, she would make some sword-swinging attack gestures in my mind. It should be said that it was after the appearance of the gods, but it was too confused at that time. ”
Mu Feng was slightly stunned, golden female warrior?
Could it be that Joan of Arc has something to do with Athena? I vaguely remember that it was only after leaving here that the contact with Yu Pei gradually recovered, although I still don't hear it very clearly.
And Joan of Arc, too.
Athena is the goddess of wisdom and war, and if the 'divine body' is 'war', then ...... The image of golden armor represents war. The white dress is the 'divine sense' that symbolizes 'wisdom'. Athena's divine body was separated from the divine consciousness, and the divine body lost contact with it when it came out. And now, Joan of Arc dreams of the golden armor image again. It's hard to prove that there is no relationship between the two.
"Wait!" Demes was stunned for a moment and asked, "You mean, the action I just swung the sword is the image in your mind?" ”
"Yes!" Joan of Arc nodded, then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm ...... I didn't mean to, but ...... As I practiced, I couldn't help but keep up with the picture that appeared in my mind! ”
Demes didn't care about Joan of Arc's apology, and said to himself: "No wonder, no wonder, I think your sword-swinging posture is very unusual." Self-contained, very lethal, but alas...... Doesn't match your weapon. If, if you change the weapon, the lethality will be different. Hmm, what does it look like? ”
"This kind of chopping is suitable for heavier weapons, big swords? No, no, that's too heavy, and women - sex - shouldn't be able to pick it up. Since it is used by female warriors, it should be ...... in weight Hmm, my head hurts, I can't think of it. It's heavy, but it's not too heavy, don't ...... That's right, knives! But, but no, the knife is too ...... It's useless to deal with heavy armor! ”
"Uh-huh!"
Mu Feng was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect that this Demes still had a talent for weapons, so he hurriedly stepped forward, but he didn't dare to let him continue to think! God knows, if he thinks about it like that, will the 'knife' suitable for chopping in the East travel through time and space and come to the West hundreds of years in the morning!
If you mess up time and space, you'll be in a lot of trouble.
In fact, there were already knives in the Middle Ages in Europe, but they were much weaker than the popular swords.
Machete, Arab scimitar, that's right, this is it. The Arabian scimitar design idea is very similar to that of the European knight's sword, both designed for high-speed horse combat. Moreover, the design of the scimitar actually takes into account the fact that it is impossible to wear heavy and sturdy metal armor in the desert.
However, in Europe, where heavy armor was popular, scimitars were simply not advantageous in land warfare. Therefore, this is also the reason why the scimitar is popular in Russia, where it is impossible to use plate gold armor because of the severe cold, and in the water battlefield where leather armor is the mainstay.
In the 14th and 15th centuries, along with the popularity of the broadsword, the development of metallurgical technology also made the heavy platemetal armor stronger, lighter and more flexible. More and more knights and mercenaries began to favor this practical and simple equipment. And some wealthy knights also put plate gold armor on the light chain mail to increase their defense.
Not even a sharp broadsword could penetrate such armor, and the short spears of infantry did not have such penetration, let alone scimitars.
As a result, another extreme appeared...... 'armor-piercing sword'!
The armor-piercing sword and the slashing sword are weapons of the same level, to be exact, it is actually an enlarged awl. The need for slashing is not considered at all. On swords with a length of 90 to 100 centimeters, there are often three-edged, four-edged, diamond-shaped, or even circular cross-sections. Behind the hilt of the sword, which can be used with both hands, there is often a counterweight ball like a short butt, which can be used to increase the power of the thrust with the shoulder.
To the armor-clad soldiers, the armor-piercing sword is like a demon.
Why do Western fantasy people say 'sword and magic' instead of 'sword and magic'?
"Ah, it's the Divine Messenger!"
"Your Excellency?"
