Text Chapter 23

Time passed quickly, and the first few young people had already entered, and none of them came out, it is estimated that they had passed, and only a few did not pass. Soon it was Witt's turn, and the guards parted the crossed spears and motioned for Witt to enter.

"You can do it, let them wait and see!" Joey cheered for Witt.

Witty nodded and passed under the iron fence gate, and the guards then crossed their guns to prevent the rest of the group from entering.

Witt was the first time he had entered the Lord's Fortress, so he was a stranger to it, and the only place he was unfamiliar with Fesd. As soon as I passed the iron fence, I saw a large open space on the right of the training range, and there were more than a dozen grass targets, arranged in turn, neatly and orderly. On the left is a small grid, next to which are various melee weapons, which look like a field for melee combat. In the past, a few horses could be vaguely seen, it should be a stable or something, and Witt didn't know very well. No matter how far away you can't see clearly, you won't have a chance to give Witt a closer look.

"You're here to join the army?" Cass looked at Witt's young body with questioning eyes, but noticed that Wit had a chic looking oak bow hanging behind him, and a sharp axe pinned to his waist, and he also dispelled the idea of looking down on Witt, and only asked in some surprise.

"Yes, Lord Cass!" Witt answered Cass's question in a calm tone, calm and respectful. In fact, it was the first time to face a question on such an occasion, after all, he was just the son of a local farmer, and Witt's heart was already turbulent.

Seeing that Witt was so calm, Cass also seemed very calm and polite, and mistakenly thought it was the heir of a soldier, so he immediately raised his favor and continued: "Do you know the content of today's test? ”

"I don't know, please let me know!" Witt straightened his back and said bluntly.

Cass nodded, lifted his right hand and pointed to the nearest grid next to him, explaining, "See that driving range?" There's a weapon rack next to it with a variety of practice weapons, so you can choose the right weapon for you. Of course, I didn't ask you to come here to pick up a weapon, as long as you can take ten attacks from that soldier in the training ground, I'm not too harsh, I ask you to defeat him, as long as you can take ten attacks, even if you pass the test. ”

Cass looked at Witt, thinking that Witt was still young and might retreat, but he didn't see any fluctuations on Witt's face, so he had to continue to add: "That soldier is just a light infantry who has just been promoted, so it's not particularly difficult for you, just go over when you're ready!" You can put me here first. ”

Witt nodded, and immediately handed the oak bow and axe to the guards behind Cass, and did not forget to thank him: "I'm sorry for you!" Then he walked towards the training ground where the light infantry stood.

Witt walked to the weapon rack and looked at the various weapons hanging on it, including one-handed swords, two-handed swords, one-handed axes, shields, two-handed axes, wooden sticks, etc., and Witt was dazzled. Witt finally chose his most suitable two-handed axe, these weapons are all wooden, so a little light, Witt is used to the logging axe, now with this practice two-handed axe but feel unaccustomed, although the speed of the chopping is much faster. He was not accustomed to using shields, so Witt did not take another shield and walked towards the light infantry.

Seeing that Witt was only holding a two-handed axe and preparing to start, Cass was immediately interested. The first few young people basically chose a shield with a one-handed axe or one-handed sword, and in the end, they basically relied on the shield to barely pass the test, and Witt who did not hold a shield was the first, and Cass really hoped that Witt had real skills.

The young man who had already passed on the side did not have the good cultivation of Cass, and suddenly grinned and sneered: "You see that this stupid boy doesn't take a shield, and it is estimated that he will overturn without three moves when he goes up." Everyone laughed and cast a disdainful glance at Witt.

"He's a kid, you don't need to say that!" Another young man pretended to break the siege in a playful tone, and also made everyone lean forward and backward with joy.

Witt doesn't care about their words, in this day and age, if you want to be respected by others, you have to show others what you are capable of. Joey has shown himself countless examples, and Witt certainly understands that.

Witt came to the Vikia light infantry with a two-handed axe, only to see that the light infantry was holding a one-handed axe and a shield with a round top and a pointed bottom, the one-handed axe was also used for practice, and he was not wearing a helmet, and perhaps he was not assigned a helmet at this rank.

The Vecchia light infantry did not show contempt for Witt, but they also did not show friendship with Witt, perhaps this is the characteristics of his soldiers honed by war! Witt was about to bow to him, but the other party had already assumed a posture ready to fight, so Witt had to give up the idea of bowing, and hurriedly took a step back, clenching the axe with both hands, and staring at the other party with both eyes.

I saw that the other party was holding a shield in his left hand and a one-handed axe in his right hand, slowly approaching in the direction of Witt, which made Witt feel more and more pressure, and finally had to slowly retreat. After not pushing a few steps, Witt's body was blocked by the wooden fence behind him, and there was no room to continue to retreat, and the onlookers suddenly laughed loudly at Witt.

The opponent got closer and closer, but Witt did not take the initiative to attack. When Witt was chopping wood at Old Danny's before, Old Danny once told himself that in case he encountered danger, he must not take the initiative to attack, because at the same time attacking is to show the flaws in front of the other party, at this time, it is easy to be seized by the other party, and even cause an irreparable fatal blow to you, and victory or defeat is sometimes in that moment. If you let the opponent attack first, then as long as you are agile enough, you will have plenty of time to launch a counterattack and knock them out before they can launch a second attack.

Witt has been seizing the opportunity, when the distance from the opponent is only two meters, the opponent suddenly raised the shield with his left hand and slammed forward, and then the axe in his right hand appeared from behind the shield and suddenly slashed like Witt. Witt saw that this was a sound attack, and wanted to use a shield attack to cover up and confuse himself, but he could also play a defensive role, using an axe as the main attack, and attacking himself was unprepared.

Witt was also startled by this move, thanks to his agility, quickly flashed sideways from the right side, and there was no big problem, but above the left shoulder was rubbed out of a little skin by the one-handed practice axe, in a hurry, Witt did not notice, flashed from the right side and then jumped out of a meter away, picked up the two-handed axe with both hands, and quickly slashed towards the big wood of the light infantry with muscle memory.

The light infantry was already a little surprised when Witt dodged sideways, and a recruit egg could easily dodge his most skillful move. Witt's subsequent series of reactions were orderly and unchaotic, especially the moment when the two-handed axe was chopped off, his body was vigorous, his eyes were full of murderous aura, as if he was a veteran's posture, and the axe in his right hand could not be retracted for a while by virtue of inertia, and he was suddenly a little flustered, and quickly waved the shield in his left hand to parry Witt's two-handed axe in a hurry.

With a "bang", the two-handed axe slammed into the wooden shield that was not very thick, and the shield suddenly appeared a few cracks and sunken in, but the onlookers were not on the shield, and the onlookers noticed that the light infantry was not prepared enough to take a few steps back because of the fierce blow of Witt in a hurry, and his body rested on the wooden fence behind him, and he almost fell.

The Vekia Light Infantry understood that if this was placed on the battlefield, they would definitely lose their lives, and the victory or defeat on the battlefield was in such an instant, and there was no protracted battle. The light infantry lifted his trembling left hand and held the broken shield, left from the wooden fence he was leaning on, and rearranged his fighting posture, how could he lose to a rookie, and suddenly frowned, looking more cautious.

The onlookers were already dumbfounded, the little boy in front of him was so agile and fast, not to mention, his strength was so great, only in one move, he almost knocked the regular army to the ground, and forced it to the edge of the fence, the whole audience was silent, and the guards in charge of maintenance also peeked curiously at this side from time to time.

Seeing that Witt was so agile and fast, Cass didn't look like a random slash between panicked movements, especially the axe swing, which was more like a well-trained veteran. Looking at it from a distance, you can also feel that the eyes are also full of calm and even murderous aura. Cass was even more sure that Witt should be the heir of some veteran, otherwise there would not have been such a standard military posture.

After a period of silence, the audience burst into applause, and the young people who had laughed at Witt suddenly admired Witt and applauded vigorously.
