Chapter 53: New Weapons
"Ah——!h With a scream, the morning in Lal Lane was woken up.
At Davis's house, the maid was sitting on the floor, watching everything in Davis's bedroom. Davis was impaled in the throat, his dead body lay on the ground, and a scarlet blood stain was splattered on the wall. Davis's two axes landed beside his master, the Brotherhood warrior, the backbone of Midtown, who was found dead in his bedroom by the maid this morning.
For many people, this is tantamount to a bolt from the blue. How long has it been, and how long has it been since the leaders of the Brotherhood have not been in danger of their lives? There is no doubt that Davis died in an assassination, but what was the purpose of the assassin? From the strange text on the wall, they speculated that it might have been a cult of an unknown evil god who did it, but more people believed that it was the first horn to be sounded by someone who wanted to challenge the order of the Brotherhood.
The big brother who took the lead was angry. Although Davis is of little use, he is the most loyal one to take the lead. Davis has been following the leading brother for more than 20 years, from a fledgling young man to a middle-aged man with a slippery accident, he has no talent, and only relies on his loyalty to the leading brother to get to this day. Davis's death sounded the alarm in the heart of the leading brother. Of course, he didn't believe that this was done by a cultist, and what he wondered was whether there was a challenger to the Brotherhood, or if there was a rebel within the Brotherhood? It has been more than 20 years since the big brother formed the brotherhood, and the Big Three have not been very peaceful in recent years, and the big brother suspects that this is a test of one of the Big Three.
Whatever the possibility, the leading brother strengthened his defense, and at the same time sent his own direct elite to be assigned to each leader, which was both protection and surveillance. In this kind of situation where the mountains and rains are about to come and the wind is full of buildings, for the leading brother, in fact, the truth is not important, but the position is the most important. He didn't mind the Brotherhood's interests being compromised in some way, but his principle was that the Brotherhood had to be his, not someone else's.
The eldest brother who took the lead was in full swing to organize the manpower, but said that Snorlan also got up early in the morning today. He ate early and came to Carmelo's house, where he was practicing his sword in the courtyard. His agile and gentle body jumped between several dummies, one long and one short, with two swords in his hands, and he put the dummies together in a few jumps, and his body was full of sword marks.
"Here we are." Carmelo sheathed his sword and said with his back to Snowland.
"Teacher, Davis has solved it." Snorlan said with a little smugness.
"I found out last night. Your plan is okay, but the execution is flawed, isn't it good to kill Davis with a sword while he is asleep? I had to poison it, and I was discovered by others, and there was an unnecessary battle. However, there is no problem with your tactical thinking, and it is no problem to weaken the enemy with all your might, and seek opportunities to kill with one blow, but you are still inexperienced, so it would be good to come a few more times in the future. ”
When Snorlan heard this, how could Carmelo know everything, as if he was next to him at the time? But Snorlan thought about it, Camero, as a hero, is naturally indispensable to various means, not to mention others, that is, the shadow walker Al Kavon, can shuttle through the shadows, come and go without a trace, and he can't find his traces at all, thinking of this, Snorlan is also relieved.
He nodded and said, "The teacher is right. ”
Carmelo bowed slightly, and continued: "I found a problem in your battle, your weapons can no longer carry your strength. The design of this sword of yours is problematic, it is too long for a long sword, one and a half meters long; As a two-handed sword, its hilt is too short. It can be seen that this is supposed to be a sword with giant blood, or just a giant. It's not for you. You come and see this. ”
Carmelo took out a wooden box, Snorlan took the wooden box, opened it and saw that it was a two-handed giant sword, about one hundred and seventy centimeters long, the blade was very wide, Snorlan took it in his hand and weighed it, some weight. Snorlan was on his back, just right.
"I see that your swordsmanship style is biased towards wide opening and closing, so I taught you the Riosta style of swordsmanship, this swordsmanship is deeply influenced by the barbarians on the ice fields north of Riosta, the disadvantage is the lack of flexibility, but the advantage is that the offensive and defensive power are very strong, this sword is very suitable for your style."
"Thank you, teacher."
"You're welcome, I'll tell you the main points of the two-handed sword."
Carmelo explained swordsmanship to Snorlan, and with the addition of [Weapon Master], Snorlan understood quickly, and Carmelo explained two-handed swordsmanship to him for a day, and he practiced while listening, and finally obtained a new skill: [Two-handed sword mastery: Riosta style: Beginner (excellent)]: You have mastered Riosta's two-handed swordsmanship to a certain extent.
The barbarian's mastery of two-handed weapons is actually innate, and the intimacy with two-handed weapons that circulates in Snowlan's blood makes Snowlan's use of two-handed swords handy, and at the same time, he also has a certain swordsmanship foundation, so in just one day, Snowlan's two-handed swordsmanship came to the elementary level, and even Carmelo praised Snowlan's talent for two-handed swords.
While the storm was raging inside Ward Harbor, there was no longer peace outside Ward Harbor. Lieutenant General Costana has finally captured the village of Donba, and the Roe Empire's rule over the Marton Rainforest has come to an end. The village of Kostana, the most prosperous village on the edge of the Marton rainforest, and the village where Snorlan once stayed overnight, is no longer part of the Roe Empire. The Roe Empire is not a fool either, the Marton Rainforest has fallen, will Costana let go of Ward Harbour, which is so close? No, she would never let go of this port, which was vital to the Roe Empire.
The Roe Empire displayed a heavy army in Port Ward, and it was not easy for Kostana to take the city. Once it is caught in a siege battle, both the Kostana Ministry and the Roe Imperial Army will suffer huge losses.
Of course, Costana didn't simply attack the city, she stopped at the edge of the Marton rainforest, regrouping her forces and preparing for the next attack.
Lieutenant General Kostana, standing in the makeshift tent, studying the terrain, shouted: "Malan! ”
Malan Clinton immediately ran in and saluted: "Sir! ”
"There's a dangerous mission for you."
"Please, sir!"
"Lead an elite squad and infiltrate Port Ward to find out what they are doing. The distribution of military forces, the loopholes in defense, and the command system, I need you to investigate it personally, do you have any other requirements? ”
"No, sir!"
"Okay, get ready, and go as soon as possible."
"Yes, sir!" Ma Lan saluted and went down to prepare.
Lieutenant General Costana looked at the topographical map of Port Ward in front of her, and wondered how to lay down this vital port. At this time, Ward Harbor was still bustling, and the civilians did not know that the great shadow of war was looming over them.
