Chapter 54: The Battle of the Two Armies (3)

Seeing the opponent's rapid attack, I had to deal with it in a hurry.

"Little ghost, you have to think clearly about everything before you act." On the other side, Skaha's voice sounded at the right time, "If you can't calmly grasp the situation and see through the weaknesses of the other party, then the only thing that awaits you is failure." ”

The calm voice made my heart freeze.

…………

Suppressing my restlessness, I stared at the approaching enemy soldiers, quietly waiting for an opportunity.

Under the high-speed charge, the opponent quickly invaded in front of our formation, and it was about to completely crush my army.

I could even see the cold light reflected off the helmets of the leading soldiers.

…………

Now is the time!

…………

"All, detached from the middle!" I shouted.

Because of the long preparations, the formation was divided extremely quickly.

With the sound of the soldiers' neat footsteps, our formation simply split in two, completely vacating the middle part!

…………

The ten people on the other side did not have time to slow down under the action of inertia, and rushed directly into the open space that had just formed.

"Close!"

At my command, the formations that had just separated merged again, completely enveloping the intruders inside!

…………

However, ten people are also extremely adaptable.

Seeing that they were in danger, they tried to get closer together and formed the previous iron bucket formation to hold on.

"Don't try to get your way!"

Under my control, the soldiers separated them in different corners.

…………

Without the protection of the formation, the ten people who fought alone had no power to resist at all.

After all, they are exactly the same as my soldiers, both in terms of physical fitness and weaponry.

The soft sound of "bang bang" kept ringing in the room, but this time it happened when the opposing soldiers kept disappearing.

…………

"Pop ......" waited until the last soldier was gone, and Skaha applauded me.

"Yes, yes, but the second time you commanded the army, you were able to draw inferences, and your progress is really fast." Skaha laughed.

"Don't compliment me. An army of 100 people against 10 people was completely annihilated, and there is really nothing to be proud of. If you hadn't taken the initiative and given me a chance, I'm afraid my fate wouldn't have made a difference this time. I couldn't help but laugh wryly.

"I'm commending you for your ability to recognize and learn new things quickly, not your own literacy." Skaha shook his head slightly, "If you just talk about the talent of commanding troops, the Knight King attacked thousands of Saxons with a force of less than a hundred people in the first battle, and won a big victory. Do you think you can compare to that? ”

…………

"This ...... It's not comparable at all......" My face almost fell.

"Talent is an innate ability. It determines how high a person can stand. Skaha's face was indifferent, "However, what determines how far a person can go is the acquired learning ability. And this is the fundamental basis for human beings to eventually become the spirit of all things and control the whole world under the gods. ”

“…… No matter how high the talent is, there is an upper limit after all. When the talent is used up, there is no possibility of moving forward. Skaha's words carried a touch of seriousness, "But the knowledge acquired through learning can be accumulated infinitely. The magicians, including those of your later generations, have made it their lifelong pursuit to reach the 'roots', and they are only eager to understand all the origins of this world and achieve the state of 'thoroughness'. ”

…………

The barrage of words from "......" Skaha made me a little dizzy.

After all, I didn't have a pure magician education from an early age, and many of the terms are completely unfamiliar.

"Well, I'll just get to the point. Little ghost, your talent is really not very good, and among the many disciples I have taught, you are considered stupid. Skaha smiled kindly, but said something very discouraging.

"Uh...... I'm really sorry for the trouble. I laughed awkwardly.

"However, your acquired adaptability and learning ability are unexpectedly strong, but you are also very stubborn, and you will not give up until you achieve your goal. It's a good piece of material that I can't bear to let go. Raising his hand and caressing his red lips, Skaha looked at me with interest in his eyes.

…………

"Anyway, little ghost, during this time, I will teach you the essence of commanding an army, and then conduct field exercises like just now. How much you learn in the end is up to you. Skaha looked at me with two eyes, "Don't ask why, just trust my arrangement." ”

“…… I see. I'm going to try my best. My heart was shocked, and I nodded heavily.

And so, in the study with Skaha, a morning passed.

…………

In the afternoon, the person who fought was replaced by Kai.

Compared to Lancelot, Kai is inferior in both speed and strength in swinging his sword.

But even so, it's not something I can fight against now.

What's even more troublesome is that Kai is completely different from Lancelot, who adheres to chivalry and shoots fairly......

…………

"Boom!"

narrowly dodged a sword that pierced the eye, only to see a foot kicked directly between my legs......

“……!”

Barely twisting my lower limbs, the kick ended up on one of my thighs.

…………

The force was so strong that my leg bones almost shifted in an instant.

It took me a few steps backwards before I finally got my form on my feet.

You can imagine what would have happened if I hadn't had time to turn around and be kicked in that area......

…………

"Are you crazy?!" I was furious and yelled at Kai.

"Lord Emiya, please remember that this is a battle of life and death." Kai's expression was serious, "As long as you can win on the battlefield, no matter how despicable your methods are, you can be recognized. ”

But then, his head twisted to the side, and he muttered another sentence very quickly and very quickly.

"Let your kid move my sister and kick you to waste......"

…………

Kai...... I've heard it all. Raising my finger to my ear, I felt my face twitch.

In order to assist in the battle, I have been using magic to enhance my hearing and vision.

Anyway, my sister is controlled to this extent, which is enough to be treated as a patient......

…………

"Ahem, Lord Emiya really has good hearing." Coughing lightly twice, Kai turned his head without changing his face, "My subordinate was just saying that if anyone other than you dares to covet my king, see that I don't abolish him." ”

"Okay, okay, that's right." I couldn't laugh or cry.

It looked like the afternoon was destined to be filled with thrills.

…………

After an afternoon of swordsmanship practice...... After a defensive training on the vital parts of the lower body, to be precise, I continued to study the history of Britain with Ios in the evening.

Ios's explanations were still incisive, and he did his best to answer my questions.

Also, learning from last night's lesson, this time the time was very well controlled, and we went back to our rooms to rest before Skaha could urge us.

…………

A full and smooth day.
