Chapter 2 Mutations
"Peggy." Asker said.
Is it finally my turn? Peggy immediately looked at him excitedly.
"Now that you have mastered the Immortal Phantom Sword, I will teach you the 'Punic Tactics'."
"Punic tactics are the pinnacle of guerrilla flow tactics, which emphasize giving full play to the greatest advantages of guerrilla warfare on the battlefield and actively selecting the location and timing of the battle with the enemy, so as to create an opportunity to kill with one blow."
"Overall, it's a tactic that requires a lot of battlefield intuition, and it's quite demanding in terms of awareness and positioning, but I believe it's the best tactic for you."
"Mia." Asker turned around again and looked at the Thief Girl.
"I'll teach you the 'Twin Sword Assassination Technique'. Although it is also a dual-wielding weapon, its essence is very different from Barbarian tactics. ”
"You have to be dual-minded, treat your left hand and right hand as different individuals, and have complete freedom to use two different tactics. It's like you're being attacked by two people at the same time. ”
After explaining the follow-up career routes of the four melee outputs in the regiment, Aske looked at the remaining girls, pondered for a moment, and then said:
"Let's do it first, and I'll arrange it later."
The four girls looked at each other, looking disappointed on each other's faces.
It's something that can't be helped. Despite Asker's mastery of weapons, there is no doubt that his combat style is more melee and he is more comfortable teaching tactics in this area.
Musk, Asker also has some, as for the arcane, psychic and healing he is a little overwhelmed, even the weapon master can't dabble in so many fields at the same time......
"Captain!" Sheila suddenly raised her hand, "I want to learn swordsmanship!" ”
Learning swordsmanship? Asker was a little surprised. For Sheila's "Quality Mage" bloodline, the four sequences are "Wisdom", "Storm", "Meteorite", and "Light", which can be said to be a pure spell-casting class, and has no swordsmanship-related abilities.
But that's just the right thing to do by surprise, isn't it?
Everyone thought she was a mage, and rushed forward with all kinds of spells, only to pull out a long sword......
"Yes." Asker nodded, "Then I'll teach you the career path of the Demon Swordsman, holding the sword in your right hand and casting spells with your left hand." ”
So it can still be like this? Nora and Medea were also taken aback, they originally thought that this training was going to be released by the regiment commander again, but they didn't expect to be able to take the initiative like Sheila.
"Then I'm going to learn how to shoot a firearm!" Nora raised her hand and shouted.
"I'm going to learn too." Not to be outdone, Medea said, "I want to learn swordsmanship and spearmanship." ”
"It's all arranged." Aske couldn't help but laugh, "I'll arrange it for you." ”
After speaking, he seemed to remember something, looked at Hood who was lying outside under the tree reading comics, and asked:
"Hood, do you want to learn something?"
“Noooooo!” Hudra grew his voice and didn't take his eyes off the comics at all.
This is also expected by Asker, after all, with Hood's lazy temperament, it is no less difficult for you to ask him to learn swordsmanship than to invite a senior dead house to go out and play ball and pick up girls.
"Okay." Asker said, "Then let's talk about the 'Trinity' tactics in order...... first."
At this moment, a steel cross mercenary hurried from the opposite side and whispered a few words to Asker.
"There's a change in front of you?"
"Yes."
After the Demon Tide, there were more and more mutations.
Asker sighed in his heart, and beckoned the girls to follow, just using this mutation as a practical exercise.
——————
When the crowd arrived, they saw the people of the Iron Cross standing solemnly, opposite to the knights in armor, and the two sides were clearly distinguished.
Andrea and Herman were talking to an old nobleman, who looked up and glanced at the crowd here.
Asker almost immediately recognized the NPC, Lord Otto of Carinthia, a great nobleman in the Holy Solomon Empire.
If in the original game world of "Iron and Fire", the history of the Eastern Solomon Empire is more relevant/borrowed from reality, then the history of the Holy Solomon Empire is completely mixed, and various prominent families of different periods of the Holy Roman are intertwined and arranged in the game.
Coupled with the fact that these Franks were accustomed to naming their children after the names of their elders, the names of the noble NPCs became more difficult to remember and distinguish, the most common being "Otto", "Henry", "Conrad", and "Herman".
For example, the current Holy Solomon Emperor, His Majesty, whose name is Otto, and then his father is also called Otto. For the sake of distinction, his father was privately referred to as Otto I, and His Majesty the Emperor was Otto II, meaning "first/second Otto" in the family.
If His Majesty the Emperor will have a son in the future, and he will inherit the glorious name of this ancestor and grandchild, then it will be called Otto III.
The problem is that the name Otto is not only used by royalty, since there is no concept of "evasion", so other great nobles can also use it. For example, the Duke of Carinthia in front of him is also called Otto.
Since the duke's own family had not been called Otto before, the duke himself was called Otto I......
So, how to distinguish this Duke Otto I from the late father of His Majesty the Emperor, Otto I?
So people invented the "nickname law" and "fiefdom naming law". For example, this Duke of Carinthia is traditionally called "Otto of Worms", but players don't bother to remember these names, and just call him "Duke of Carinthia", which is a hundred.
The Duke of Carinthia was a spirited old man, about sixty years old, who was also wearing armor and a sword at this time, and his eyes were sharp.
Under his scrutinizing gaze, the girls looked away unnaturally, especially Eleanor, who was eager to dig a hole in the ground and get in.
Only Aske remained calm and smiling, and when the Duke of Carinthia looked at him, he bowed slightly.
"That's it, wait and negotiate an agreement with my cabinet minister." The Duke of Carinthia's gaze finally rested on Eleanor, then withdrew his gaze and said to Andrea and Herman, "I'll go to the camp over there to rest first." ”
When the Duke had left with his men, Andrea turned around and said hello to Asker.
"What mutation?" Asker asked.
"It's hard to say, it's too weird." Andrea lowered her voice and said:
"Ahead is Luenfeld, a town of over 10,000 people, and all its inhabitants disappeared overnight."
"I guess in addition to the disappearance of the inhabitants, there are also monsters, right?" Asker said.
"Yes." Andrea said, "All sorts of monsters. The most terrifying thing is that these monsters walk and talk normally on the streets of the town like ordinary townspeople, and the scouts even see monsters going to the streets to buy groceries and haggle with vendors who are also monsters. ”
"Then you need to look deeper." Asker said calmly, "Have you had close contact?" ”
"Not yet." Andrea said, "Your Excellency the Duke of Carinthia, who is willing to make a bid on the task of the normal mutation, and hire us to help solve the mutation. Therefore, we intend to discuss it with the Duke's cabinet and negotiate a suitable price. ”
This was clearly asking for the opinion of the Azure Sword. Asker smiled and said:
"I think the duke's offer will be satisfactory."
Andrea laughed, and was very satisfied with the addition of the Azure Sword and the others, so she took Aske to a meeting with the Duke's men.
After telling the girls to stay where they were, Aske left with Andrea, Herman, and the others.
The girls were a little bored and stuck in place, gossiping with each other.
"Hey, Hood." Mia said, "Borrow a few comics for me?" ”
"Okay." Hood agreed, took his luggage out of the carriage, rummaged through it, and found a comic.
"Oh, take it." Hood said.
"What kind of comic is this?" Mia looked at the name on the comic in surprise, "The Sword of the Blue Single Book?" ”
