The weak have a lifetime of ups and downs and involuntarily.

That's why the powerful power is so valuable-

The prologue of "Strife" begins in the year of the Red Moon, and Gross has a deeper understanding of all this than his companions in the bandits.

He used to belong to the player, but now he is a bandit leader, inheriting the body of the young mountain dweller, and inheriting this identity.

Gross's swordsmanship teaching made the group of young people around him envious - recently, because of his strength, Scott has faintly become the number two person in the wolf bandit group, so that more and more people have begun to practice martial arts desperately.

Gross's promise.

All employees are employed.

After discovering that dictation was working for these Aborigines, it was as if Gross saw a bright future unfolding before his eyes.

Just a few days ago, Oliver took office as a Ranger Ranger, a genre of rangers who excelled in stealth and traps; Levin, on the other hand, completed the inauguration of [Assassin Flying Shadow], a genre that is more like a sentinel in the army than an assassin.

Six inaugurants, this is the strength of the current wolf bandit group-

Among them, the bandit leader Gross is the senior rank, and Scott and Miss Mage Ladia are the middle rank.

Among the several bandit groups near the Nogo Mountains, they are already considered to stand out from the crowd.

But Gross didn't stop there. In fact, he had even greater ideals in mind, or rather, ambitions—

The players in the game have never been a peaceful group, not to mention, in Gross's previous life, he was known for his boldness.

The line of sight is far away.

Beyond the Ampton Mine, there is a large rolling ridge of ravines, intertwined with dogs' teeth, and countless peaks dotted among them, which is like a postcard depicting the landscape.

The unbridled brushstrokes are full of rough tension like an oil painting, and in the cold winter of December, the scenery of the mountains and forests gives people an extremely heavy feeling.

In the valley in the early morning, the cold wind blows.

There seemed to be some singing in the distance, and in the last month of the year, most of the merchants who had traveled far away had chosen to rest, and they had brought back sturdy iron boxes containing bags of heavy Rael. The outside world was cold and windy, and they either gathered around the fireplace with their families to accompany them, or gathered in groups to drink warm ale—

The last week of December is the traditional New Year's festival in the Elantra Kingdom, and at this time, it is a small leisure time of the year for them.

Maybe it's a hiker who is singing loudly.

The song pierces the valley and reverberates faintly.

Gross draws his sword.

In front of this group of young people, he dismantled the various parts of his swordsmanship technique in a slow motion—

This time, he didn't use the Frost Longsword he was wearing, but the Legion-style longsword in Scott's hand just now.

The sword came from the mercenary leader he encountered in the Shepherd's Ocarina in Teal Hill, but after Gross slaughtered the guy, the sword became a trophy of the wolf bandits.

It was this long sword in his hand that he held in his hand—

From the counterweight handle at the end of the gauntlet to the tip of the sword, the total length is three feet, and the middle position, the boundary between the strong and weak sword body, is exactly the width of three fingers, and the weight is much heavier than the frost long sword.

Of course, this is also the difference between a two-handed sword and a one-handed sword. This type of weapon can often be found among the civilians and mercenaries of the Northlands.

Gross crossed his hands and grabbed the gauntlet of the sword—

Unlike his usual deception of drawing his sword or pointing his sword downward diagonally, this time he demonstrated to his companions a standard plough position. It was also one of the most common and familiar swordsmanship styles in most of the battles that took place during Elant's period.

Spread his legs apart, then take a step forward, the balls of his feet spaced apart into a T-shaped step of the right width—a gesture he couldn't help but glance at Scott as he did it.

The latter nodded.

"The center of gravity must fall between the legs."

Gross said lightly.

Then, he stepped forward and swung his sword, the wind of the sword whistling through the air - it wasn't very fast and fast, but it seemed to have an incomparably powerful momentum.

"I noticed, it's the footsteps."

After Gross's demonstration, Scott suddenly realized -

Compared to the bandit leader's clever swordsmanship, his practice just now looked like a naughty child wielding a burning stick, and the swing of such a slightly heavy two-handed long sword usually caused a certain inertia to the body, and it was this that made the swordsmanship movements deformed.

And in battle, these things become flaws.

The young men in the wolf bandit group gathered around Gross, and the bandit leader put down his long sword and explained the various movements of the swordsmanship very carefully and patiently-

After a while, several cheerful and lively young men asked Gross for some fancy swordsmanship skills, but as soon as this kind of topic that everyone was fascinated and ready to listen to with bated breath fell, Gross couldn't help frowning.

The atmosphere froze.

That's not a passion to be celebrated.

If you don't learn to walk steadily, you try to dance, and it's easy to fall for it-

Martial arts are like most industries in the world, even the most ordinary, one-size-fits-all basic swordsmanship movements, if you want to reach a level that fully meets the standards, it will also require long-term and painstaking practice.

There is no room for the slightest trick.

Even if it is unpretentious and unfancy, it may not look pleasing to the eye, but it is absolutely practical.

In the battle of the world of Illuson, in addition to the gap in level and attributes, skill is also a very important thing-

This is evident in the case of Gross, the leader of the bandits.

In those past days, even against higher-level opponents, Gross had come out victorious in the end - the reason for this fact, aside from his extensive experience as a player in his previous life, was more due to his fighting skills at the level of a swordsman.

Combat skills, genre skills, experience and awareness, weapons and equipment themselves...... All of these contents are effectively blended together to become the true strength of the individual.

After being silent for a long time, Gross was calm, he continued to demonstrate swordsmanship, and even pulled Scott's opponent as a demonstration-

In the course of the battle, the weapons, arms, and various parts of the body of the two sides kept changing relative to each other, and the long swords flashed and moved, but every move and style slowed down the corresponding movements.

The pace of attack and dodge, the alternating footsteps always remain light and ready to attack;

The use of the strong sword body and the weak sword body, as the body advanced rapidly, the long sword in Gross's hand used the strong sword body to break through Scott's block, and then, he jumped to the side again, and the long sword swung diagonally-

When the silver-white sword fell, the cold light of the sword was just over an inch away from Scott's neck.
