Chapter 36: Swordsmanship Training
"Keep your body sensitive, precise, and fast," Lawrence lowered his body and held the sword in one hand, the systematic training experienced in Silvermoon City and the actual combat experience in the Rust Defense Station made him a good hand at using the long sword, and a series of slashing and stabbing movements were done in one go, "The combination of offense and defense has more dominance than the opponent."

Bibo was on the side according to Lawrence's movements, his clumsy figure made Bruce laugh, and Surenee sat by the campfire, looking at the two young men with interest, "Dwarf, why don't you teach raccoons, this kid is better to start with the simplest!" ”
"Hey! With a tomahawk? Bruce puffed out a puff of smoke, "Then I'm afraid you'll never want to eat any roasted game for the rest of your life." ”
"Pay attention to concentration, every time you swing your sword, you must consider the next defense and counterattack, and always think about protecting your body." Lawrence shook his head, "Use your strength, speed, and skill to force the opponent to defend, constantly adjust the angle, and finally beat him." ”
"Wrist, wrist, turn up, always find a way to suppress the opponent in the first half of your sword......" Lawrence took Bibo's hand and demonstrated, "If the lower half of your sword is locked by the opponent's handguard hook or card slot, you're done!" ”
"Whew...... Call! Bibo felt that this was really too difficult, and after completing the whole movement, he sat down on the ground, he grabbed a handful of snow, wiped it on his face, and gasped loudly, "Take a sip!" Lawrence sat down and handed Bibo a water bag.
"Come on boy! I'm here, it's just the basics, look at our Lord Surene," Lawrence Nunu mouthed, looking at Surene's broadblade, "Rust's rangers, only our huntress is effortless with broadblades, I really doubt you'll ever need this weapon in your life!" ”
"Meet the orcs again, and you'll see its power well!" The dwarf stamped his feet, stood up, there was silence all around, for a few days, there was no one near the Prancing Horse Grassland, the people of the village ran back to the Rust defense to hide, the traces of the orcs were increasing, and yesterday afternoon they also dealt with three orc raiders.
"Practice hard, raccoon, I hope you can protect yourself well before we meet the real battle, the perfect combination of strength and skill will be powerful!" The huntress put out the campfire with her foot, "Let's go, we'll be to Raspberry Village by night, and we'll be in the Prancing Horse Meadow." ”
"I hope I can find a clean bed," Bruce sneered as he jumped on horseback with all his might, and Lawrence scoffed, "Be careful dwarf, don't roll down, don't worry, I'll find you a warm rabbit hole." ”
Bruce snorted heavily and caught up with Surene's horse, urging them to start galloping. Lawrence rode side by side with Bibo, his cloak wrapped around his body, only his eyes exposed, "Hey, man, all I'm concerned about is the dangers I might face next, so, compared to what you said last night, I just want to make an alliance with those steppe cavalrymen as soon as possible, as Lord Barron commanded." ”
"Oh, I understand, it's my own business," Bibo replied, he understood what Lawrence meant, "Bruce told me about the demons, he said that they have been hiding in the continent all along, and even incarnated as humans, I understand the situation we are in, this time together, we are a purpose, but I myself hope to have some more clues, after all, it is my father." ”
Lawrence sighed, "When the tragedy happened, I was still very young, and my uncle Theodore was supported by the vast majority of the Leo family, and I even sometimes wondered how good it would be that the two of us were really just ordinary soldiers of the Rust Legion, and how good it would be that we would kill the enemy side by side, just like on the day of the Assessment." ”
Bibo didn't want to be like this, he passed the recruit test, he could have started the life he dreamed of in the Rust Legion, he began to desire to fight, he began to have confidence in his strength, his muscles became tighter, his mind became quicker, if it weren't for the fact that many things were not clear, he really wanted to stay in Rust, resist the strong enemy and avenge Sam, wait for Jerome and the evil mysterious wizard to see what tricks they could play, but now was not the time, he understood that his strength was still too small.
In the past few days, in the small talk with everyone, Bibo has already told his experience and discernment, the Rust Legion is a very important force, whether it is against the demons, or the disputes with the Leo family that may be faced in the future, but he still concealed Agnes, and it may not be a good thing to reveal the news of Eagle City, and there is the holy relic Flame Stone, which is a secret that must be kept in death, Bibo believes that anyone on the continent wants to get it at any cost, He believed that the Adrian family and the Leo family would never leak any rumors.
Moreover, there are demons, there are various theories circulating on the continent, but more and more orcs and monsters are an indisputable fact, spring is approaching, if it is really as rumored, only Eagle City, Attasia, and Rust can resist for a while on the Lennos continent, and the last hope may be the God of Light who is rumored to live on the Blade of Lannos, if he is willing to make a move.
"If we can really work with the Kenrui Race Cavalry this time, we will be very sure! Captain, thank you for teaching me swordsmanship," Bibo gritted his teeth, "I must avenge my brother!" ”
"We've all lost so much!" Lawrence looked at Surene's back, "When I was a ranger, I saw so many brothers sacrificed that even Surenee cried like a helpless little girl, and I vowed to protect her. ”
"You will, Captain!" Bibo laughed, "But you still have to defeat a strong opponent to have hope!" ”
Looking at Lawrence's strange eyes, Bibo continued to laugh, "Look, aren't you losing to your opponent now?" Accompanying the noble and beautiful lady is not you, the Laurence Knight! ”
In the evening, fine snow particles drifted again, and after several days of riding, Bibo's ass and inner thighs ached, and they came to Raspberry Village, where the broken walls had collapsed. In the fields to the west of the village, villagers in hard leather armor and armed with clubs and daggers are clearing the battlefield, the snow has not yet melted, and the stars are dyed red.
"Hey, Rangers, where are your guys? We received an attack in the morning, and we took out eight orc bastards. A short-haired man was slender, his brown cloak stained with blood, and his belt and short knife set aside, "And we, we've lost ten of us, and a few more wounded, and my bow is broken." ”
When he learned that the four Rusts were just passing by, the village chief named Jack was very dismayed, "It's over, I bet they'll come again." "The villagers were all apprehensive about the sudden battle.
Maybe it was because it happened so suddenly, and everyone was still nervous and cautious. Surenee and Lawrence assisted the village chief, Jack, in scattering them among the ruins of the western wall, with the men with bows and arrows taking as high ground as possible, and Billo and the dwarves helping the women and children to be placed in the cellars.
"It's too far for them to evacuate, so we'll keep a good watch for them all night," said Sureni as she told Bibo to gather the horses, without whom she would have only half her life left. The horses were already drinking in the pits of the frozen, dry earth, and Bibo stroked his horses, grabbed a handful of thorny sand nuts, and fed them.
Jack, the village chief, took out some cured meat and bread and left, "I'm sorry, that's the only thing to entertain you, I'll go to the cellar and see the women and children, damn me, I really shouldn't be the village chief." The four of them huddled in the ruins of a house, and while the fire was pitting, everyone began to rest.
"You look nervous." Billo took a large sip of the sour wine in his sac, and as he nibbled on hard bread, he said to the dwarf that his stomach had become hard from the military camp in Rust.
"you, boy!" The dwarf tucked his bronze helmet under his ass and wiped his tomahawk, "My severed head could fill this tavern." ”
"Don't deny it, you're nervous, dwarf, wandering around all day, hehe." Lawrence laughed, "Your axe should be sharpened, or it would have thought it was a walking stick." ”
“…… Uh," the dwarf let out a low growl and pouted at Bibo, "Boy, don't think you're really a soldier of Rust when you're dressed in black, I've only seen you cut off a turkey's head with a sword these days." ”
That's right, Brian's heart is full of apprehension, without the reinforcements of the Rust Legion, the commander would have ordered all the rangers to return to defense, as Surenee said, this place can't be defended at all, but it must be done!
"Raccoon, where did you get the magic crystal pendant you brought?" The huntress asked with a smile as she leaned against the broken wall, the light of the flames from the massive broad-bladed sword illuminating the side of her face.
"Eun, I'm done, I'm going to patrol with the villagers!" The dwarf squeezed his eyes at Bibo and walked out humming a song, Lawrence still nibbling on the cured meat, "It's too hard!" If only it could be made into a pot of stew! ”
"A town girl, she carved for me and my dead brother Sam!" Bibo put the magic crystal back in his shirt, "I haven't heard from her since the attack on our town of Kavos. It was she who made me hold my sword in my arms, and I wanted to be a member of the town's garrison. The gods blessed her with safety! ”
"yes, I hope she's safe!" The huntress stretched, "Evil has brought too much damage and pain, all we can do is fight!" ”
"Eun, that's right!" Lawrence wiped his mouth, "If you can give everything to prevent your loved one from leaving, I believe everyone will do it." Well, Bibo, let's go check on the situation, bring your bow, you're only a rookie, but you're not bad. ”
"As you wish," Bibo smiled, he put down his sword, wrapped his cloak tightly, and walked out, getting farther and farther away from Eagle City, but Bibo knew in his heart that the time to see Agnes again was getting closer.
