"Are you feeling better?"

After a while, Ma Long asked softly.yanKuAi.Chasing books is necessary

"Hmm!"

Althea hung her head and nodded softly.

Maybe it was because it was just a slight pause, or maybe it was because the mood of the fawn was affecting the nerve reflex to pain, Althea really felt that her wrist was less painful.

"That's good......"

Malone hurriedly let go of Althea's hand - he had long felt that he and Althea were a little too discordant in the open space where the militia were catching the right training.

"Marlon, you say...... Am I not going to be able to go into battle like you? ”

Althea asked a little sadly.

The girl who had never had military experience thought that fighting a war was an easy thing, and she always wanted to show those men that although she was a girl, she would definitely not be worse than them in terms of bravery.

But now, after only a few rounds of training, Althea realized that compared to other militiamen, her body was inherently lacking a lot, not to mention the commander of this militia team, even if she wanted to become an ordinary militia, she had more than enough strength.

"Nothing like that...... It's just that you're not really suited to training with them. ”

Malone said with a smile.

"Really?"

Seeing Ma Long's smile, Althea had a little hope in her heart, and hurriedly asked.

"Well, didn't I teach Althea how to use a dagger this morning? I think that's the way you fight. ”

As he said this, Marlon bent down, picked up the one-handed sword that had just been thrown away by Althea from the ground, turned the hilt, and handed it to Althea's hand.

"I know, I'll definitely train hard!"

Althea felt that she was greatly encouraged, and she suddenly gained confidence again, clenched her little fists and said firmly.

"No, you won't need this shield, draw your dagger, Althea."

Seeing that Althea wanted to pick up the shield that had been thrown on the ground, Malone hurriedly stopped her and said.

"Dagger?"

Althea looked dazed, but she still pulled out her dagger from the leather sheath at her waist and clasped it in her left hand as Marlon had instructed—this was the posture that Marlon had just taught Althea this morning.

"Yes, that's it."

Malone nodded, he knew that what girls needed most now was their own encouragement.

Althea's strength is undoubtedly much smaller than those men, although the one-handed sword and shield is one of the common weapons of the infantry of Stormwind City, but for Althea, the lightness of the one-handed sword is acceptable, and the heavy shield is completely beyond the scope of free use.

So Malone decided to ask Althea to give up the one-handed sword and shield fighting style - anyway, with her strength, the shield could not be wielded freely in her hand, and her defense was already limited, so it was better to pursue more agile movements.

Marlon picked up Althea's shield from the ground, grabbed the handle of the inner layer of the shield with his left hand, and held the shield in front of his body.

"You try to attack me, Althea."

Malone shouted to the girl.

"Oh!"

Althea nodded, then brandished the one-handed sword in her right hand and slashed at Marlon head-on.

With a soft "bell", Malone easily blocked Althea's attack with the shield in his hand - as expected, the slashing force from the shield was about zero.

"Stop!"

Malone shouted loudly, stopping the girl from trying to retract her weapon.

"What's wrong?"

Althea asked, a little timidly, not knowing what she had done wrong.

"Look, Althea, look at where we are. You know, when you slash at an enemy with a one-handed sword, their first instinct is to block your attack with a shield or weapon, and when they do, very few people pay attention to the dagger in your hand. ”

Marlon held the shield in his hand motionless, and kept explaining some of the most basic fighting techniques to Althea - as a woman, Althea has her own advantages and disadvantages on the battlefield.

The disadvantage is naturally the strength of the body, and one of the advantages is that seeing that their opponent is a woman, the enemy will more or less have some light enemies, and the confidence in strength will make their bodies react instinctively, hoping to block through guò to shoot down the weapon in Althea's hand.

"Is that so? So what do I do? ”

Althea was skeptical of Marlon's words - she certainly knew that the enemy on the battlefield would not stand motionless like Marlon and let herself be cut; However, she still showed excellent learning quality and asked very cooperatively.

"Next, you can use your dagger to attack the enemy, throwing it in the enemy's face, or hitting the enemy's ribs are all viable options."

Malone explained.

"No, I'm not going to throw this dagger out, because it's a gift from you, Marlon."

Althea's attention seemed to be elsewhere, she said stubbornly.

"This ...... Okay, so you're going to have to get faster to hit your enemies before they react, you know? ”

Althea's words were unexpected by Marlon and made him feel a little embarrassed; However, looking at the determined expression on the girl's face, Ma Long could only say with a wry smile.

"Oh...... But my arms aren't long enough! Out of reach! ”

Althea nodded, and then said in distress - the dagger was an extreme melee weapon after all, and she found that she had no way to attack the inside of Marlon - the small shield not only blocked her one-handed sword, but also Marlon's own waist and abdomen.

"So you have to move! Enemies won't cooperate with your attacks, and will always find ways to block or dodge; However, Althea, you will definitely have to move a little lighter, as long as you can stay agile and dodge the enemy's attacks, you will definitely be able to defeat the stronger enemies than you. ”

Malone took a step back, threw the shield in his hand to the ground, and said to Althea seriously.

"Oh......"

Although she didn't understand very well, Althea still felt that what Malone said made sense and nodded again and again.

"Then next, I will teach you some footwork in combat, whether it is swordsmanship or dagger, or two-handed hammer and two-handed axe, the weapons in your hands can be strange, but the footwork under your feet is always figured out."

"You come, like this, spread your legs apart, right...... Separate a little more, then don't move your left foot, step forward with your right foot, and then step back quickly, and so on, one backward, one backward...... Once you've mastered both foot movements, you'll be able to dodge most of the enemy's attacks. ”

Soon, Marlon, who walked behind Althea, began to explain to Althea the ancestral fighting skills of the Lothar family.
