readx;?“ Raise your arms a little higher, yes, that's it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 With a stick in his hand, Barrett adjusted the height of the practitioners' arms - touching the young man's back, pressing on the young man's shoulder, and now he was fully responsible for the duties of an instructor.

Although he had only been with the City Guard for less than a week, Barrett had been very successful in establishing his authority among the group.

There may be a situation of intrigue among the larger groups, but the number of this group is limited. At the same time, under the nose of Lord Earl, there is no convenient condition for the emperor to be far away. Before the possible triumvirate appeared, it was disintegrated by the leaders one after another.

So even Barrett, the airborne vice-captain who has no real power, no one will come to kill him with a baton. The army of this world was originally a place where strength spoke, and after training with them a few times, it naturally became their temporary martial arts instructor - and at the same time, they also gained a few brainless fans.

In Boreham's system, the City Lord's Guard is a three-shift industry. 8 hours of work per day, 1 hour of handover, 4 hours of training. Even for the rest of the day, they were not able to move freely and had to live in a group in the barracks. This kind of work is almost all year round, and holidays and the like are completely out of contact with them.

Although this is in the old era in reality, it is just the standard of ordinary armies. But in the game, the Western Continent can be regarded as the highest level. In this era when professional soldiers are still in the three-day training, they are naturally the elite of the elite.

"No. 6 and No. 7 are listed. Attack me. After the basic training was completed, Barrett began to practice in real combat - actual combat is the fastest improving training, but soldiers are not always able to find a target to fight. So the practice of approaching the mayor is naturally the best substitute.

Although aside for basic training, you can use cheap practice swords or even heavy wooden swords. But when it comes to real combat practice, the closer you get to the real battle, the better.

Therefore, the use of combat weapons and armor to practice martial arts can greatly improve the efficiency of practice. Of course, this kind of training not only means a lot of resource consumption, but also has a certain risk of casualties.

The wear and tear of the sword, the collision of the armor, and the repair of each item require the hard work of the blacksmiths. Not to mention that the city lord's guards use fine products, and it takes skilled craftsmen to ensure that its life after restoration is not affected.

Of course, hiring spellcasters to maintain with spells is a more festive practice. However, the high cost of money, even the wealth of Boreham is enough to make the treasurer frown. In the face of that attrition, the Treasurer would rather buy more refined weapons for replacement for training, rather than spend gold on mages who are never satisfied.

But even so, the maintenance of weapons is not a small expense. This can be regarded as an important reason for restricting the inability of many territories with average financial conditions to train a strong army.

And on the other hand, the sword has no eyes. The closer the training is to actual combat, the more likely it is to have casualties. The population of this era and the time and expense required to train a professional soldier. None of them allow for such a thing as a mortality indicator as in a certain period.

The so-called death index does not mean how many people must die, but it means that when the number of deaths per year is within a certain range, the performance appraisal of the army and the promotion evaluation of the chief officer will not be affected.

In order to minimize the number of casualties during training, the investment in doctors, medicines, and even priests' magic is a major expense that cannot be reduced.

Of course, if a strong fighter is in charge of special feeding work, it can greatly reduce the cost of medicine. And Barrett is playing such a role at the moment, he has already reached the master level in terms of weapon mastery, and it is not too easy to train these guards who are hovering on the edge of red iron.

"Sonorous! Sonorous! "The three swords kept colliding in an extremely short period of time, emitting fierce sparks and sounds. In this practice battle, Barrett did not use his usual 'Broken Peak', but chose the same delicate two-handed sword as the two soldiers.

Otherwise, even with the foundation of the Star Tie Mo Knife, it would be enough to let those soldiers know what the gap in weapons was. Not to mention the tremendous reinforcement brought about by the growing power of the Ancient Legends. At that time, no matter how much Barrett controls it, it is easy to leave the shadow of 'weapon theory' on these 'ordinary people'.

At this moment, the number 6 in Barrett's mouth waved the two hands holding the big sword to the left, and the two-handed giant sword with cold light slashed at Barrett quickly. It was not a one-stop move, from preparation to launch in the blink of an eye - you can see how much work he has put into this basic skill.

"Boom-" There was another crisp crash, and Barrett held the sword in his right hand and pressed the blade of the sword on the inside with his left hand, blocking the opponent's long sword with the outward side, and lightly defused the attack. Immediately after that, he took the opportunity of the two swords to intersect, and pushed his left hand upwards to knock away the opponent's long sword. At the same time, a stride forward, the right hand swings downward, and slashes at the opponent.

After these days of contact, No. 6, who understands the gap between the two sides, never thought that he would be able to make a contribution in one blow. When the attack was blocked, he followed Barrett's explanations and drills these days, and retreated with the force of the shock. What I didn't expect was that Barrett's simple push up contained a lot of force.

Even if he unloaded backwards in time, he still disrupted his balance. The young soldier seemed to be in a small boat sailing in a storm, battered by huge waves and winds, but unable to resist it.

Fortunately, No. 7 on the side also regained his strength at this time and launched a new round of offensive against Barrett. It took a considerable part of the pressure to share the pressure for his comrades-in-arms - of course, the key factor for the other side to be able to do this was also because Barrett deliberately did it.

After all, the purpose of training is to strengthen the skills of the soldiers under the lord's command and bring out the potential in them. And not to leave them with a shadow that is difficult to lift. Therefore, when the pressure on one of them is about the same, if the other one can be connected in time to change back to the transfer target.

On the other hand, this is also to train the opponent's ability to cooperate, and at Barrett's level, it is easy to play the skill and tactical level of the enemy who is equal to or slightly higher than the strength of the guards - so that all this is as close as possible to the most realistic combat.

Taking a step back, Barrett avoided the sharpest edge of the No. 7 two-handed sword, and when the opponent's move was old, he stepped forward to collide, and then let his shoulder break through the opponent's defense line and stumble. After easily swinging away from the other side, Barrett reached out to signal the end of practice.

―――――――― make up tomorrow――――――

This is the first time that the Vaal Knight, who is seen as omnipotent by most people in the territory, has asked for help from Georgie! Georgie was now not so much flattered as he was worried: 'What is it that makes the Vaal Knight come to me in such a hurry!' You must know that even when Sheren disappeared before, he had at least waited until working hours! But the most troublesome thing is that even the Vaal Knight can't solve the problem, and it's still unknown whether my immature little shoulders can carry it! The only thing I can count on now is that the Vaal Knight will not deliberately cheat me, and I have to believe in the other party's personality! ’

Georgie, who was secretly doing this self-soothing and psychological suggestion, didn't know that it was already at the town hall when the Vaal Knight got the news of Hieren's disappearance. As long as Georgie inquires, he will definitely be able to get the news, but Georgie doesn't have the time and mind to pay attention to the details of this aspect. This has led to the uneasiness and hesitation in Georgie's heart now.

No matter what, there is no escape. Let's ask what is going on first! Determined, Georgie finally let go of the knife and fork that had been hanging in the air for a long time because of the sudden attack of the Vaal Knight. He pretended to be calm and asked with a smile on his face: "Mr. Val, do you have anything to say, sit down and speak slowly, even if the matter is in a hurry, there is no need to save this talk time!" Whatever worries you so much, we'll do our best if the territory can help. ”

After pulling out a chair and sitting down, before Georgie could catch his breath, the Vaal Knight expressed his thoughts: "Georgie, can you find a way to propose to the Duke together with Lord Viscount that the defense area of our Bolem Expeditionary Force be adjusted to the Western Theater of Operations." ”

"What? Theater of War transfers? Georgie suddenly felt a little inexplicable about this, "Mr. Val, why are you doing this?" ”

"What happened to Shiren along the way is really dangerous and dangerous, if it weren't for the people I arranged later, even with Helen's strength, I am afraid that he would not be able to get out of the Cruze Kingdom intact." Saying that, the Vaal Knight gritted his teeth, "Although the other party has wiped out all the clues very cleanly this time, even after such a long investigation, I can't find evidence that directly points to the person in charge behind the scenes." But at least 3 sieges against Heren were organized and premeditated. I'm a little worried about the safety of my boy and the old man. ”

This move of the Vaal Knight is, in a sense, already an abuse of power for personal gain. It was no wonder that he did not dare to bring such a matter to the town hall to discuss it, and when he came in, he had already asked the butler to arrange the ordinary servants outside the door in advance. In the entire dining room, except for Georgie and the Vaal Knight, there was only the old butler who was waiting by the door, a third party.

"So the Kingdom of Lucia has set a trap on Helen's way to the war zone this time, ready to ambush him?" Georgie seemed to frown at his crow's beak.

"The evidence is not sufficient, but the bear is the most likely. But some of the hostile groups that I have clashed with before must have been involved! A considerable number of the attackers found this time still have the shadows of some invisible rats. Of course, among them, Lucia, those guys will never be able to wipe themselves out. At this time, there was too much uncertainty in the Vaal Knight's words, as if even he had not found the main enemy and the secondary enemy.

'It seems that the Vaal Knight's past fame is indeed covered with bones! There are definitely not a few cultists and villains who died at his hands! Now those organizations see that they have the powerful MT of the Lucia Kingdom taking the lead, and they are not ready to form a group to fight the rhythm of the boss. Qiao Ji now said a little helplessly: "As long as you are on the battlefield, even how the other party sets up an ambush belongs to the category of tactics." According to the existing moral concept, it is reasonable and legal, so you seem so calm in the matter of the old Vaal being attacked before! However, this time the situation seems to be in a gray area, and even if the evidence is obtained, as long as it is not conclusive, it is really difficult to say how to deal with it. What's more, now that the other party's hands and feet are handled so cleanly. The reason why you want to transfer the expeditionary force to the Western Theater of Operations is probably to facilitate your reinforcements in case something happens! ”

"I don't deny that I am selfish in this regard, so I want you to help you!" The Vaal Knight is a bit of a scoundrel now. Because he knew that in this regard, Georgie would definitely be on his side.

"But if we want to come forward, there must be a reasonable reason after all!" Georgie touched his chin, so realistically waiting for the Vaal Knight to give a suitable excuse. Otherwise, if you make a hasty proposal like this, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to pass!

The Vaal Knight patted his head and said, "That's right! The situation on the front line should not have been transmitted back to our country in Nohan these days. I'm afraid that this matter will have to wait a few days, but it is proposed too early now, and the chances of passing it are not great. ”

"Has there been any major change on the front?" Georgie is interested at this time.

The Vaal Knight raised his hands and said, "The Kingdom of Lucia has invested a lot of troops in the Western Theater this time, and we don't want the young knights who were not in the information before. It should be the new knights they have hidden in the past few years! Therefore, the battle in the western theater of operations, even the expeditionary force of our Principality of Nokhanate fought very hard. I think in a few days Karada will be discussing the transfer or increase of troops to the western theater. When the time comes, of course, our Bolim Territory can first respond to the call of the Duke! ”

After listening to this, Qiao Ji nodded firmly: "If this is the case, at least it will not cause much damage to the territory and your reputation." (To be continued.) )
