Chapter 100: The War Tiger (10)
"I see." Eshua nodded, but this simple action caused his consciousness to go through a trance for a moment, followed by pain that almost tore his skull apart. Essho covered his forehead, his palms were cold, but his head was hot as charcoal. Eshu gasped a few times, "Salaman, do you have a lot of cotton clothes?" Lend me a dress. ”
"Chief......" Salamatan looked at Essho's face worriedly, "are you sick?" ”
"There may be a little fever." "It should be out of the way, just cover it for a few days." ”
"That's good!" Salamane nodded, and without hesitation, he untied his padded jacket and draped it over Essho, and took off his gloves and patted them in Eshu's arms. "Niang Xipi is so cold! Lao Tzu can't feel his hands anymore - hiss! He shuddered from head to toe, "I need to hurry back to the tent and find a thick dress to wear." Get out of the way! Salamane turned around and forced himself through the wall with his physique, opening a path for Estheu by the way.
"Thank you." Eixiu tightened his padded jacket, lifted his spirits a little, and walked quickly into the circle before the wall closed.
"Yo, just in time." Ranmarok leaned his longbow and nodded at Estheau, greeting nonchalantly, "I haven't shouted to start yet." But before we do that, should we make a bet? See who will win? ”
"No, I'm not interested in gambling." Esher reluctantly said. Ranmarok pursed his lips in disappointment and turned his head to look at the field: "Ready?" ”
Wren nodded, he was still wearing the badly damaged knight's armor, using his own sword, and the shield was a small leather shield borrowed from a mercenary, which he scribbled around his arm; Standing across from him, Kia was draped in Ravenston's standard gear, with a wide heraldic shield resting at his feet. He placed a beaked helmet on his head, wrapped it around a belt, and gave a thumbs up to Ranmaroke.
"Very well," Ranmarok pulled a slender arrow from the quiver behind him, "see clearly, this arrow is on the ground, and you will begin." He raised his heavy iron-tired bow above his head, and wound the arrow with his right hand, making a slight gentle arc. Ranmarok let go of his hand, and the bowstring let out a short chirp, firing the arrow into the air at a near-vertical angle. Invisible sound waves spread through the air. Wren and Kia drew their weapons at the same time, and raised their heads, their eyes following the trajectory of the arrows. Their eyes met at the highest point, and then they fell to the ground with the arrows!
Combat is a must for every knight, and it is also the final lesson for the new members of the Order in training. Usually demonstrated by two experienced veteran knights who have been on the battlefield, the course aims to reduce the rapidly changing chaos of the battlefield into a one-on-one actual combat battle, and the course content is simple and crude: use the fastest and most lethal means to kill the opponent in front of you and find the next target; There are also one-to-many, many-to-many advanced demos. Since battlefield combat simulates as much as possible actual combat with the main purpose of killing and injuring the opponent, participants tend to lose their eyes and lose their proportions. Even a wooden practice weapon is destructive in the hands of a well-trained knight, and even if protected by protective gear, there is a risk of serious disability. Therefore, battlefield combat often deploys one, or even more, notaries who can intervene at critical moments and separate the two sides. In his early years as a trainee in the Lion Knights, Kia had the privilege of observing battlefield combat demonstrated by the Knight Captain Kaye himself. On that occasion, the lioness was both a demonstrator and a notary, and she single-handedly defeated seven battle-hardened lion knights, all of whom suffered fractures of varying degrees. However, Kaye himself was not badly injured, and a lion knight, knowing that there was no chance of victory, smashed a gavel on the lioness on the head before being subdued by Kaye - both of them lay in a bed at the Alfendor Hospital for a week with a mild concussion.
Fighting on the battlefield, I didn't expect that I would become a presenter one day. Kia shook his head, taking his eyes off the arrow, he opened his mouth and took a few large mouthfuls of cold air, and for a moment it seemed as if frost covered his entire mouth, and the sharp stinging pain almost ruffled Kia's gums. But at the same time, distracting thoughts were completely banished, and his mind was immersed in a calm cold pool.
The arrow plunged straight into the ground in front of them, its feathers swaying slightly in the wind. Chia pulled down his armor, raised his sword and shield and struck hard, and in the sound of metal humming, he whispered the most majestic command of the Lion Knights:
"Lion thunder array, rush into battle!"
The sound of the majestic war drums echoed deep in Kea's chest, and he felt his blood be completely ignited by the order. He finally realized that his training in the Lion Knights as a young man had not only given him the skill to fight, but that under Kaye's rough and strict training, the lion's fierce instinct had been entrenched in the depths of his soul, waiting for one day to be awakened by the rushing blood!
He raises his shield and charges!
The ritual of the exchange of swords and shields...... Haven't seen it. Wren took a sideways step, dodging Kia's brutal onslaught, while swinging his left arm and slamming the small leather shield into Kia's head. At the same time, Kia had already reined in time, and the heraldic shield rotated with his body, accurately blocking the path of the little leather shield. The sound of wood and metal colliding was as dull as a horse's hooves striking the earth. Kia took a step back, and Wren's left arm ached from the backlash. After all, the small leather shield is a cheap armor used by mercenaries, and it is far inferior to the heraldic shield that only serves in the hands of knights in terms of coverage area and resistance ability. And Kia always hides his body behind the shield, with quick small steps, always changing the angle of defense. This is the standard method of combat for knights on foot, using a heraldic shield as a cover to wait for an opportunity to return fire. Wren couldn't find a suitable opportunity to make a sword, so he could only take a step back and reluctantly surrender the offensive power to Kia.
The small steps came to an abrupt halt, and Kia stepped forward with a blatant step, and the heraldic shield crashed straight into Wren's arms. Wren just stepped out of the way, but Kia grabbed a two-step charge from this narrow distance! The white Ice Cliff Badge magnified infinitely before Wren's eyes, and the heavy wind pressure was like a giant hammer rushing towards his face. At the same time, there was a cold glow flickering above the shield, it was Kia's long sword on top of the shield, and it sent an explosive thrust with the charge!
Sword and shield with a rush to stab! A very awkward term crossed Wren's mind. This is a combat skill that every knight must master, and the inertia-driven sword and shield are extremely effective at both offensive and defensive ends, capable of crushing almost any short weapon head-on. If Wren also had a heraldic shield in his hand, he could choose to block hard, he had a slight advantage in physique and strength, and it would not be a big deal to take this dashing assassination. But he only had a small leather shield at his hand! But Wren can't choose to retreat, or dodge, that would be tantamount to admitting defeat. Charging and assassinating is not a brute force, blindly sprinting technique, the knight can spread his arms and rotate at any time in the charging path, and pull the sword and shield out of a 360-degree killing arc.
Then eat strongly! Wren flipped his wrist and the sword was crossed in front of him, slashing the sword into his chest, the blade slashing through his breastplate, leaving a shallow scar on it, and then he caught it under his armpit. At the same time, the heraldic shield also collided, and Wren did not dodge or dodge, allowing the shield to slam heavily on him. He endured the concussion of his internal organs, raised his left arm, and the small leather shield crossed the heraldic shield and slammed it into Kia's face!
"Bang"!
