Xingchen Nine Style, this swordsmanship is simply a nightmare.

Whether it's the one who faces it in battle, or the one who tries to learn it.

Peggy only remembered Asker's opening words: "The Nine Styles of the Stars is a swordsmanship that is perfect for calculation and change. ”

"Every weapon, has its own circle. From the shoulder to the grip is the inner radius, which allows an inner circle to be drawn; From the shoulder to the farthest end of the weapon is the outer radius, which can be drawn with an outer circle. ”

"The connecting line between the inner circle and the outer circle is the front line of your weapon."

"The Nine Styles of the Stars are the study of how to calculate how to allow you to avoid or block the enemy's front line, and at the same time press your front line against the enemy's body."

"The inner circle is a circle with a variable inner radius, and its variation comes from the rotation of your shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints."

"Build a polar coordinate system centered on yourself, each joint has three parameters, namely horizontal deflection angle, vertical deflection angle, and arm length ......"

Peggy in the back couldn't understand it, she only remembered what "coordinates", what "arc length" and what "quick calculations", and countless mathematical terms buzzed in her head, almost making her head burst off.

"Well, how do you calculate this inner radius?" Eleanor was also very bad at this, and poked the branches in vain on the ground, "Is it a direct addition?" ”

Nora watched curiously as she wrote and drew on the ground. As a therapeutic profession, she originally lacked interest in the so-called transcendent swordsmanship, but when it comes to academic issues, that's another matter.

Staring at the geometry on the ground for a moment, Nora spoke:

"Suppose the forearm length x and the horizontal deflection angle is a; The length of the big arm is y, and the horizontal deflection angle is b. ”

"Then, the final inner radius long z is equal to the square root of a square + b squared - 2*a*b*cos(180-a-b), and the horizontal deflection angle is equal to 90-arcsin(y/z*sin(180-a-c))."

Elinor:?????????????????

"Nola." She hesitated and said with a little shame, "Isn't my brain ......fully developed?"

"It's just the cosine theorem and the sine theorem." "It's just that you can't calculate because you haven't learned, it's not your brain's problem." ”

"Why do you need to know math to learn a swordsmanship!" Eleanor burst into tears.

"Asker." Nora turned to Aske, "What do you ......think?" Unless it's a Templar equipped with a computing chip, it's impossible for ordinary people to do mental calculations during battle, right? ”

"Of course not." Aske replied, "But it's to be expected, practice makes perfect." ”

………………

The Galata Bridge in Constantinople fell.

With the Franks taking over the Golden Horn, the consequences of the unfavorable situation of the Eastern Solomonic Empire soon became apparent.

The vast majority of the industrial park was across the Golden Horn, which led to the fact that Constantinople immediately lost the vast majority of the production lines of arms and ammunition.

In terms of the quality of the soldiers, the physical strength of the Franks was also stronger.

The Holy Solomonic Empire and the Kingdom of West Francia were both agricultural countries that had not yet completed their initial industrialization, and the vast majority of the land was an unexplored natural wilderness, a paradise for transcendent creatures to survive and reproduce.

The Frankish military aristocracy also had the habit of hunting extraordinary creatures in autumn, so they had accumulated a lot of extraordinary power in their bodies over the years.

Since the Holy See does not allow believers to take potions, although these Frankish knights are all lv0, their physical strength is almost comparable to normal lv4 under long-term military training.

Bullets can pierce through their armor, but they can't kill them instantly.

As long as they didn't hit the heart and head, these Frankish knights would still be able to rush up with blood, even if they were swept away by a bullet.

In contrast, as the Eastern Solomonic Empire, which had long since completed industrialization, the vast majority of soldiers had never even seen a transcendent creature in their lives, and their fragile flesh made them almost unable to withstand a blow from a Frankish knight.

Therefore, in the battle of the Galata Bridge, the defenders of Constantinople basically opened fire with all their might, suppressing the charge of the Frankish knights with a torrent of steel.

Due to the poor supply of ammunition, this style of play was quickly ineffective, and the Galata Bridge was evacuated at 6 a.m.

Subsequently, Constantinople began to urgently mobilize mercenaries, led by the Norman mercenaries of the Royal Shield Guard, and began street fighting with the Frankish knights who stormed the main city.

Although Asker and his party gained a lot in the Colosseum incident, after all, at this time in Constantinople, it was not easy for everyone to blatantly exchange shotguns.

When I came to the Mercenary Guild, I saw that all the tasks on the big screen had been removed and replaced with missions to fight against the Frankish invaders, and the publisher was the Imperial Army.

"It's time for you to get a taste of the war plot." Aske said, "Unlike the next dungeon, the law of war is completely disorderly, and there is no so-called mob and boss distinction, and there are almost no drops. ”

"The only good thing is that the War Killer can plunder a lot of supernatural power from your enemies, which can quickly increase your attributes."

The girls were a little nervous when they heard this, but only Sidlifa, the war ecstasy, kept urging:

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go and cut people!"

"Don't worry." Asker knocked on the counter and asked, "Where is the battle going on at its worst right now?" ”

"The Franks have crossed the Galata Bridge, destroying the Porta de Langari and the Porte of St. George." The guild receptionist was also replaced by a military clerk, and said mechanically and quickly:

"In the northeast of the 7th arrondissement, the Shield Guard is defending the Church of Santa Elena and preventing them from advancing in the direction of the Grand Palace, you can go there."

"Then go there." Asker said, "What's the fastest route?" ”

"Take the M2 military train, get off at Zeugma station and head east." said the military clerk.

"Can the radio resources support it?" Asker asked.

The military clerk looked at him in surprise, as if he didn't expect this mercenary to know how to command, so he pointed to the quartermaster opposite and said:

"For military radio communication equipment, you just need to get a portable transceiver base station and a dozen intercom headsets on the other side."

So Asker went to get the radio equipment and handed out the intercom headphones to the girls.

"Don't you need my psychic communication?" Medea asked.

"After Eleanor puts on the magic copper armor, your psychic communication can't penetrate it, how can you communicate on the battlefield?" Asker replied, "Military radio and telepathic communication go hand in hand. ”

Everyone put on the headphones according to the words, Nora debugged the portable base station, and Asker's voice came from the headset:

"Listen, let's enforce the team battle rules, everyone must strictly obey the order and keep the channel open."

"Every order needs to be executed as soon as it is given. Do you understand? ”

"Understood." The girls responded over the radio.

"Let's go." Asker said.

When everyone walked down the subway station, they saw that the tables and chairs in the waiting hall had been violently pushed away, and all kinds of army-green boxes of all sizes were piled up in half of the hall.

The mercenaries were lining up to get on the special train, and several Imperial soldiers were roughly directing the team:

"The next train is coming! Above! Above! Above! ”

The door of the train was opened, and the mercenaries immediately rushed up. Aske and the others also hurriedly followed and got on the train, filling the entire train to the brim.

The subway started moving again, and all that was left in the carriage was the sound of heavy wheezing and the smell of sweat, and the girls frowned in discomfort.

Since there were no stops in between, the train soon arrived at Zugma station.

The mercenaries got out of the car again and saw that the end of the subway tunnel had been sealed off by military bunkers and heavily chained machine guns - the tunnel led to the Galatian Peninsula across the Golden Horn, which was now occupied by the enemy.

Returning to the ground, the mercenaries scattered in a hurry, each looking for his companions.

The large army chose to march east along the road, while Asker took the girls south, making a detour in the direction of the third mountain.

"Occupy the high ground first." He said.

The third hill is a slightly higher mound along which houses and apartment buildings have been built, and the upper floors of several buildings can already be seen in flames and black smoke.

The group walked up the stone-paved road, and in the middle of the road, they saw the corpse of a child.

The little child lay on his back on the ground, probably three or four years old, his black, curled hair stained with dirt and blood.

Lying next to her was her mother's corpse, her hands in the direction of the child's corpse, and the blood stains spread from five or six meters away, showing obvious traces of dragging.

Apparently, the mother had crawled five or six meters in a pool of blood before she died, and she had died of exhaustion before she could catch the small body of her child.

The one who was most struck by this tragic image was Eleanor, whose blue eyes were wide open with a strong sense of disbelief and horror.

Putting down the spear and shield in her hand, she picked up the child's corpse, her throat choked and blocked, and she didn't know what to say.

The child's corpse closed in her arms, as if for a moment it seemed to give her the little angel the impression that she was just asleep, but the warm and sticky sensation soon stung her hands and pulled her back from the illusion to the cold reality.

"Asker." Nora hid behind him in horror, grabbed his arm, and said tremblingly, "This is ...... What an atrocity......"

"This is war." Asker replied.

Eleanor took the child in her arms and walked over to the mother's corpse and gently turned her over. Only then did they realize that the skirt of the mother's corpse had been rudely torn apart, and there was viscous blood between her legs.

Placing the child's body in her mother's arms, Eleanor took out the cotton cloth in which she wrapped the spear, wrapped the lower half of her mother's body, and turned back and said:

"Asker, let's bury them."

Asker sighed and said, "Bury it." ”

Sidlifa went to the flowerbed by the roadside, quickly dug out the pit with her tomahawk, and together with Eleanor, put the two corpses into the pit, and then filled it with earth again.

"Although the souls of non-war dead cannot go to Valhalla." "But cowards who wantonly kill innocent women and children will inevitably fall into the abyss of Heim, suffering eternal torment in the cold and darkness." ”

"Let's go." Eleanor said slowly, "Don't wait for the afterlife. ”

"I'm going to see the results now." She picked up her spear and shield from the ground and looked in the direction of the top of the mountain.
