Chapter 1 New Career Paths
"Is the situation clear?"
"I don't know, it's messy."
"The major principalities are watching and are not in a hurry to take sides."
"Rebelling against His Majesty the Emperor? Is Duke Wolf crazy? β
"It is said to have been instructed by His Majesty the Pope. There is no way, their family's territory is too closely related to Italy and Canada, and once the Holy See withdraws the clergy, I am afraid that half of the Wolf family's factories will have to be shut down. β
"Then Burgundy and Lombardy must have rebelled, and what about Bavaria? If the Weissbach family also joins the mutiny, how will we return to the LΓΌbeck headquarters? Rounded Bohemia? β
"The Count of Saxony has not yet taken a position. However, even if Saxony were to join the mutiny, the Hanseatic League would certainly have declared neutrality. β
"What's the use of declaring neutrality? In the event that Bavaria joins the war, it will be a matter of the Duke of Bavaria to forcibly recruit our Iron Cross mercenaries when the time comes. β
"Well, why are you talking so much? Can you call the shots? Wait for the regiment commander to give the order. β
Riding into the territory of Carinthia in a carriage, the mercenaries of the regiment also talked a lot along the way.
Everyone is a mercenary of the Eastern Branch of the Iron Cross, who has been running business in the area of Khangri, Ciris, and East Solomon all year round, and this time because they have collected enough frost materials, they plan to return to the headquarters along the Bavaria-Franconia-Saxony route.
However, the sudden outbreak of the Imperial Civil War changed all that.
Usually, mercenaries like war because it brings more opportunities and profits - provided that they are on the winning side.
Otherwise, not to mention the pre-negotiated commission, it would be a blessing that the head was not beheaded with the defeated employer.
Choosing which side to side in a civil war is a matter that requires a high level of strategic vision. However, the Iron Cross Mercenaries are different, as the Hanseatic Alliance's sole owned security company, they must obey the Hanseatic Alliance's orders.
The Hanseatic League, in turn, was a mercantile alliance of cities located in the northern part of the empire, and it was certain and necessary to align itself with the will of the Count of Saxony.
So the choice of camp of the Count of Saxony is very delicate...... Once the Count of Saxony had made a statement, and then had the opposite choice of the Duke of Bavaria or the Duke of Franconia, the journey would certainly not have been too smooth.
As soon as you enter the territory of the Duchy, you may be surrounded by the army sent by the Duke.
Therefore, the Iron Cross mercenaries could only pray that the old man of the Count of Saxony would hesitate a little longer, or that the people at the headquarters would not be in a hurry to take sides...... At least we'll have to wait until we get back to LΓΌbeck!
Andrea and Herman, who are the top leaders of the Eastern Branch, of course, got more news from the headquarters, so they don't need to be as panicked as the low-level mercenaries.
The original route through Bavaria remained the same, but judging by their expressions, it seemed that there was a lot of concern about itβas for what the worries were, the people of the Blue Sword did not know.
But the girls don't worry about it at all, even if it's a big thing, let the head of the regiment worry about it.
It is better to let him do more work than to practice us.
At present, Asker has reached Lv. 6, followed by Mia, who has reached Lv. 5.
There are 4 Lv.4 in total, namely Eleanor, Sidlifa, Medea, and Sheila.
Peggy and Miel are Lv.3, and Nola, who has the lowest rank, is only Lv.2.
On average, the Azure Sword team level is around Lv.4. If it is compared with the level of the server player in the previous life, this level of training is considered a decent level.
Of course, it's nowhere near as good as professional players and professional guilds.
But physical rank is one thing, tactical awareness is another.
As far as the girls' current "software strength" is concerned, there is no doubt that they are highly approaching the peak level of players, and they can step into the registration threshold of the professional club academy.
That said, it's time to start learning some pro-level tactics and moves.
"I've already designed a combat career path for you." In the free time of the group's rest, the men of the Azure Sword sat alone in a circle in a nearby field, and Asker announced in the center of the circle.
(In the world of Iron & Fire, the class path is Build, which is a categorization and subdivision of a character's overall combat style.) οΌ
"Originally, I wanted to ask for your opinions, but I later considered that you don't know anything about various high-end career routes, so it was a vain choice for you to choose." Aske said lightly, "So let's do what I taught you first, and then talk about it if you don't get used to it." How is it, do you have any opinions? β
The girls looked at each other.
Aren't you talking nonsense? Since we don't know each other, where can we raise objections?
You teach whatever you teach.
"Okay." Asker then said, "Eleanor, I'll teach you the 'Trinity' tactics. β
"The so-called three-in-one tactics are spears, long swords, and shields, which are combined into three tactical schools in pairs, which is a trinity." Asker pulled out the weapons on the ground and said, "In other words, you must be proficient in all three types of equipment, and then choose two of them to fight according to your tactical needs." β
"The shield is usually held in the left hand. If you hold a spear in your right hand, then it is a 'spear shield flow'. It is characterized by a focus on defense and is conducive to controlling the field. β
"Holding a shield in your left hand and changing your weapon in your right hand to a long sword is called a 'sword and shield flow'. It is characterized by the integration of attack and defense, and strong mobility. β
"The last, less common school of tactics is to hold a spear in your right hand and a sword in your left." As soon as Asker said this, Mia immediately raised her hand wisely and replied:
"I know! The spear in the right hand and the sword in the left hand, of course, are called spear ......"
"That's right! It's called 'Reed Celebrity'. Aske immediately interrupted her.
What do you want to say about the little ones!
Mia:???
"Why don't you call a gun......" Mia was still trying to say her answer, only to hear Aske interrupt again impatiently:
"Don't ask me why, names are just names, the essence is the essence of tactics!"
"What is this, what are the characteristics of the reed celebrity?" Eleanor asked.
"All offense and no defense." Asker said, "It's suitable for situations where you are extremely disadvantaged, and you are desperate to fight." β
"Of course, it corresponds to each genre and how to fight, and I will slowly teach you later."
Eleanor nodded, staring at the spears, swords, and shields on the ground.
"Sidlifa." Asker turned to the second man, "Now that you've got the Axe of the North Wind, I'll teach you 'Barbarian Tactics'." β
"Barbarian tactics are characterized by dual-wielding, where you need to have a primary weapon and a secondary weapon. If the Axe of the North Wind is used as the primary weapon, the secondary weapon can be either an axe or a sword. β
"The most important thing is that all weapons can be thrown to deal great damage. Switching between melee and throwing kills is the essence of Barbarian tactics. β
"Once you've thrown a weapon, you'll need to retrieve it in time or snatch a new one from the battlefield. Due to the Return of the Axe of the North Wind, you have a unique advantage in this regard. β
"I have a problem." Sidlifa raised her hand, "Does this barbarian tactic you are talking about have anything to do with the Vikings?" β
"It doesn't matter." Asker said.
"But!" Sidlifa tried to argue with him, "This weapon-throwing tactic sounds a lot like the ...... of the ancient Vikings"
"If you want to talk about relationships, if you practice this tactic to the extreme, you can casually beat seven or eight Viking warriors of the same level." Asker said with a blank face.
