Chapter 64 Fighting is not a matter of strength
Failed again, Brad's brow furrowed again.
Arrow put the two back in their seats and spoke, "Now, Brad, you have a weapon, but I want you to forget that you still have a weapon in your hand. You have to focus all your attention on your shield and don't throw it out casually. That's how you use this shield. β
As he spoke, Arrow stepped forward and stretched out his hand to stab Brad like a short swordβ
"When you see an attack, you don't just want to knock the enemy out with your shield, but just raise your shield a little to block the attack."
Brad nodded, raising his shield slightly to block Arrow's hand. Eero lowered his hand again, and Brad lowered his shield again.
"That's it, if you don't slam with your shield, your range of movement won't be very large, and you won't create as much of a defensive gap as just now. Cream, you try to fight him again. β
Cream smiled, "President, aren't you a student of the Department of Economics?" How can you do something like a combat skill? β
Ai Luo glanced at him: "Old Tengshu's management doesn't have that kind of rules, just after watching it for so many years, I will also get a little bit of a skin." But that's what I will, so if you can learn as much as you can, learn as much as you can. Come on! β
Putting away the teasing, Cream once again rushed towards Brad with a dagger with a relaxed attitude.
Seeing that Cream was moving so fast, Brad was a little nervous again, and the shield in his left hand was about to be thrown out again!
"Hold the shield! Don't swing it out! β
Hearing Airo's shout, Brad suddenly stopped his arm that was about to swing out, and the position of his elbow only dropped slightly, just enough to block Cream's body. If it weren't for this guy's braking fast enough, I'm afraid his face would have slapped directly on Brad's shield.
Seeing that an attack didn't succeed, Cream changed his pace again and quickly circled behind Brad.
Successfully blocking Cream's attack for the first time gave Brad a boost of confidence! He moved his feet as well, the shield in his hand moving only slightly again, once again successfully blocking the short sword that Cream stabbed into his lower abdomen.
Unable to launch the attack smoothly, Cream suddenly felt that her combat effectiveness had been greatly reduced. The smile that had been hanging on his face was now fading away, and he was moving faster and faster.
But Brad's confidence is now great! He seemed to have completely forgotten about the weapon in his right hand, and only held the shield in his left hand very steadily, and no matter what direction Cream attacked, he was able to completely block the thief's dagger with just a slight movement of his shoulders and elbows.
After a long time, it has been a good time, and Brad, who is still not moving, is still breathing normally. But Cream's breathing began to get crumbling. After about ten minutes of this, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Cream seemed to have nothing to do with Brad, and he now even needed to stop for a breath or two before running again for an opportunity.
Is this a good situation?
Arrow felt that it was not good, but at least it was a little better than the situation just now, where the winner was separated in a few seconds.
Although Brad is very solid defensively, it is all due to his complete abandonment of attack and focus on defense. Therefore, even if this competition continues to drag on, it can only be regarded as a draw at best, and Brad will not be able to win.
Well...... It seems that after getting this guy used to focusing on defense, he should also learn to use his right-handed weapon while defending.
But just as Arrow was thinking this, Cream was so tired that he stumbled and accidentally hit Brad's shield directly.
Brad also maintained a defensive posture, and did not attack, but just watched the guy attached to his shield vigilantly.
"Attack! Attack! Fast! Attack! β
But at this time, Parfait, who had been watching a little anxious for a long time, saw this opportunity and shouted loudly! It's no wonder that this flower fairy saw that his partner had been bullied by Cream, and finally saw Cream fall into a disadvantage, and suddenly became excited.
Hearing Parfay's shout, Brad's whole person was also slightly stunned, obviously falling into a hesitation. But after a second, he seemed to have decided to obey his partner, and shook off his shield five or six paces away, and then raised the sword in his right hand and was about to slash at his shoulder!
"Drink ββ!"
This old problem directly made Arrow cover his face and shake his head, and also made Cream, who was already a little impatient after a long battle, feel happy, and dodged the slash with one lunge, and two cork short swords stabbed Brad's stomach again.
"Wooββ!"
Because he was too tired and unsteady on his feet, the thorn of Cream did not control his strength well. Brad, who had been stabbed, turned pale all of a sudden, let go of his wooden sword, stumbled back a few steps, and sat on the ground with his butt on his back, clutching his stomach.
Seeing this, Parfay hurriedly flew over from the side, stroking Brad's cheek nervously, and at the same time kept smelling the fragrance for him, and turned around in a hurry: "Brad? Brad! Brad! Safe? Safe? β
Brad just clutched his stomach, but he couldn't speak.
Cream also realized that he had made a heavy shot, and hurriedly threw away the double short sword and ran over: "Lie down!" Lie down first! I'm sorry! I was a little out of strength just now, so I don't know how important to start! Lie down! Don't move! β
Coco was also panicked, and hurriedly went to the towel rack next to him to take down a towel and ran over to help Brad wipe his sweat.
After a long time, the warrior regained his strength, gasped for breath, and smiled with a red face: "I...... I'm fine. Call...... It hurts a little though...... But now it's much better. Parfay, I'm fine, hehe~~~"
Parfay was relieved to see Brad start smiling again, lying on his nose and looking into Brad's eyes with concern: "Does it hurt?" I, to you, smell, incense? Does it hurt? β
"It's a lesson."
Arrow walked over with his hands behind his back, and after seeing Brad's face gradually soften, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued-
"Even if you have an advantage in the early stage, all it takes is one mistake and you will be dealt a fatal blow immediately. Bled, you are the front row of our guild team, and you are always at the forefront of facing the enemy, so to speak. β
"But because you're always on the front line, you're the least likely to get hurt."
"In our team, Coco or Cream stepped down because of an injury, that's fine. Because if they fall one, there is another who has a fighting ability. But you can't, once you fall, our team will be scattered by the enemy in an instant, so you have to make sure that your defense is enough to not show a flaw casually. Only then will our guild be able to win the battle, understand? β
Brad sat up again, let out a long breath, and nodded very earnestly.
He got up again, weighed the shield in his hand again, adjusted his spirit, and looked like he wanted to try again.
But at this moment, there was a knock on the door of the training room, and Arrow looked back to see a child standing there, looking at it with interest.
"What are you doing? It seems interesting, can I also be trained? β
This little chubby dun who is less than ten years old is so cute, Airo naturally smiled and said, "Your Napa teacher is no longer in class?" How did you get here? β
Little Chubby Dun stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the door of the storage room and said, "Teacher Napa asked me to call you, it seems that I have work to do." So, it's study time now! β
Arrow nodded and walked in the direction of the guild hall. When the guild members in the back heard that it was Napa who was going to ask someone to complete the task, they thought that it should not be an ordinary miscellaneous commission, so they also cleaned up and followed.
Arriving at the guild hall, Arrow could instantly feel the smell of money dancing in the air!
In addition to the children who were hiding and peeking, three others were now staying in the lounge area of the hall.
Two of them were dressed in the same attire, with swords on their waists, and bodyguards, each with a very serious look on their faces.
In the center of these two tall bodyguards was a middle-aged man in his forties who looked shorter than Arrow.
The middle-aged man, with a Mediterranean hairstyle, sat in a seat in the lounge area with an anxious expression. Although the clothes on his body looked quite expensive, he was now bursting with bruises on his forehead, and he had an attitude of wanting to find someone to tear it apart immediately.
Arrow asked his members to stand in the back for a while, adjusted their mentality, and stepped forward with a commercial smile: "This gentleman, welcome to the Mermaid Song Guild. Is there anything you can do? β
Seeing Arrow walking over, this short-tempered Mediterranean looked menacing. He glanced at Arrow, didn't even get up from his seat, but directly stretched out his finger and pointed at Arrow's nose and shouted, "Say! Where did you hide those two bastards?! β
Is this a bit inexplicable?
Still, Arrow tried to make the expression on his face as gentle as possible.
He examined the man's garment, and saw that he was now sitting so piercingly, while he stood beside him, as if he were waiting for him.
"Sir, could you please explain the point? What's going on? Who are you looking for? β
Instead of "waiting" beside the middle-aged man, Arrow walked to the back of the counter on his own, which was his domain.
The middle-aged man slammed the table hard and shouted, "They cheated me out of my money!" You're the only guild in the whole Pelican Town, and you adventurers are all colluding with each other to cheat me out of money, aren't you?! I tell you, although I am rich, I am very, very rich! But I have money and I can't accept being cheated like this! My mistress swept away more than 700 of my gold coins in one fell swoop last month, and I will never allow anyone to rob me of my gold coins now! Feed! Did you hear what I said?! β
