Laymen look at the lively insiders and watch the doorway, and when ordinary people look at blacksmiths, they feel that they are just holding hammers and clanging and knocking around, but only Stan, a guy who has been fighting iron for half his life, understands how deep the forging strength behind Roddy's hand is.

Strength, accuracy, heat, and polishing steps are not something that can be learned immediately, and Stan thinks he can't seem to be as perfect as Roddy.

Luckily, Roddy didn't forge the weapon, but only made modifications, which would have been enough for a few hours, or a few weeks—but it still took Roddy three or four hours just to make the most primitive modifications to the two knives.

In the middle of the night, he finally completed the transformation, and Stan actually stood aside like this and never left, Roddy, who had been tired for a long time, felt sore, after all, his physical fitness was completely unable to catch up with the former ranger, but looking at the two scimitars in his hands, he was also a little more confident in the next battle plan.

After moving his stiff body, Roddy picked up the two scimitars and walked out of the blacksmith shop, and in this way, under the moonlight in front of the shop, he did a set of the simplest basic movements of the two-knife combat method - including chopping, slashing, parrying and the most practical combat skills on the battlefield, although it was only level 2, but this dignified momentum in every gesture was something that scouts who could only do a little trick could never learn.

He adjusted himself to the weight of the two scimitars, but he didn't know that Stan, who had been watching silently all the time, had been completely frightened by his set of knife techniques.

What is a military man?

In short, it's a killing machine. This is the most essential thing, and it is the ultimate purpose of every soldier's training.

But among the scouts in Nolan Village, with the exception of Lu Ge, few of the remaining young people can meet the criteria of "soldiers" - this is what Stan once concluded. But now, looking at Roddy in the moonlight, he only felt that the young man in front of him was the most "thorough" killing machine.

Looking at Roddy's figure, Stan remembered something in a bit of a daze, and finally sighed secretly, shook his head for some reason, and then turned away. It wasn't long before he approached with a bag - Roddy had already put away his knife, wiping his sweat and ready to return the tools to Stan and thank him, unaware that the blacksmith had given it to him.

"This is..."

Roddy glanced down and saw a strangely shaped gauntlet in the baggage.

Generally speaking, metal gauntlets are not equipped for soldiers other than heavy infantry, knights wear full-body heavy armor, and ordinary infantry only have a simple layer of leather armor, so this also makes gauntlets scarce for most soldiers - but its role is not important to ordinary soldiers, because the heavy gauntlets will make the soldiers swing their swords much slower, in this case, experienced veterans will not wear gauntlets even if they have them, but at this moment, Stan took out this set of things, naturally it is not so simple.

For Roddy, who is dual-wielding scimitar, he has no way to defend with a shield like an ordinary soldier, and the only way to resist attacks is to dodge and block with a scimitar, and once he has this set of gauntlets, his protective ability is relatively large and soaring.

"I don't think I'll ever wear it in my life, but seeing you, I don't think this gauntlet should be eroded by time..."

Stan looked at this set of gauntlets and told his story with emotion - his grandfather used to be the kingdom's heavy infantry, and when this class first appeared, the kingdom selected the strongest young men, but after Stan's grandfather died on the battlefield, there was no one in the family who could do the heavy infantry, and only this set of gauntlets was left to use in the equipment that has been handed down. Stan's father failed to inherit the glory of the kingdom, and Stan himself became a blacksmith who had been working all his life to make iron, and his son died of a serious illness three years ago.

Giving away this gauntlet may be regarded as a blessing for Stan to bury a sustenance for himself... The sadness of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man, Roddy can understand, but he can't really understand it.

After Stan's words are finished, Roddy looks a little stunned - because a small line flashes in front of him that no one else can see: "Stan's wish (fulfilled)".

In the past, Roddy probably wouldn't even have the idea of looking at Stan more, he was always just a player in its purest form, acting on the basis of profit, ignoring all external things. But now, he held the armours in both hands, and he didn't know what to answer.

All the illusory things in the past have become a reality in front of him, and Roddy, who had been dealing with NPCs with masks in previous games, suddenly felt a little dizzy, and looked at Stan's lonely face, and Roddy even felt a little sad inexplicably. Eventually, he took the armour, bent down and thanked him, saying goodbye to the blacksmith who he remembered to have died in the end like an ordinary young man.

War is unforgiving, and Roddy has come to realize this more and more, in the past he only knew everything in the game, but now that it has become a reality, his mood has also taken on a heaviness that he could not experience before.

Carter, Ruger, and even the Quartermaster Dick are now living characters in their own lives, with their own stories and emotions, as well as their own worries and dreams. Roddy felt more and more that he was slowly blending into this dreamlike world.

Putting the gauntlets away, he was ready to pack up some of the next things he could use—the only thing Roddy could do now was to do his best to accomplish the goals set in his head.

As one of the former life pro gamers, he was able to make some stat-enhancing foods even when ingredients were scarce. Fortunately, after Ruger agreed to tomorrow's combat operation, the entire scout team, including Dick from the Quartermaster Department, understood Roddy's current "temporary leadership" position, so he effortlessly asked for raw materials from Dick, who had not woken up, and made some "hemostatic bandages" by his own means.

These are the most basic skills in "First Aid", but at some point they can really save people's lives, and when they are ready, Roddy falls into a deep sleep, waiting for the dawn of the next day.

......

It was a little cold in the village of Nolan in the morning, and everything looked the same as before, and the farmer walked on the dirt road with his hoe on his shoulder, occasionally complaining that the lord's taxes were too difficult to pay. The peasant woman who had returned from milking carried a wooden bucket and a scarf over her head, chatting about the gossip of the village.

The only thing that was a little out of the ordinary was probably the members of the Scout Squad.

The sounds of the soldiers joking and laughing with each other disappeared, and in the bustling little square, they were silently sorting their bags.

For them, the enemy they have to face today is a bit too strong to make their legs weak. With the exception of veterans like Ruger, the young scouts couldn't hide their nervousness, their faces were pale, their legs were a little sore, and they tied their knots too tightly when they wore their armor... All the signs told the yawning Roddy that the fighting power of this army was really lacking.

But who would be a born soldier? Roddy is well aware of this, so today's task means more to him to "train soldiers."

"Thordin has gone to Hollier City. ”

After a hasty breakfast, Carter had already sniffed out the "boss's" movements, and it was clear that the news indicated that their actions would not be detected by the insatiable guy for at least five days.

The soldiers who heard this had an inexplicable feeling in their hearts - wishing that Sodinn was here, so that they might not have to face the orcs, and that he was not there, that he might become a hero in saving the border village.

Before the expedition, these raw melons and eggs felt a lot in their hearts, but the veterans' hearts were only numb... Ruger silently wiped his sword, emptying his mind as if he had participated in a battle when he was younger, leaving only the most focused state.

But Roddy was not in a hurry to lead the entire scout force to set off, he counted the number of people, the two teams counted themselves a total of fifteen people, and there was really no way to rush in the face of the orc stronghold of about 25 people, so after he gathered all the scouts, he issued a very simple and surprising order - "Rest, stay put." ”

"We're attacking at night, so the odds are greater, and before it gets dark, I'm in charge of telling you how to deal with these green-skinned bastards. ”

When Roddy spoke, he was completely devoid of his previous cowardice and full of confidence, "Leaders must always have their own personality charm", this sentence is indeed reflected in the reborn Roddy - his self-confidence comes from the countless battles against the orcs.

Ruger and Carter looked at each other, they didn't understand what Roddy was going to do, if combat skills were taught now, wouldn't it be a complete "grinding gun" in battle?

But Roddy ignored the surprised looks, and after telling Dick to prepare some items, he pulled more than a dozen soldiers to the school field to begin this temporary training.

In Roddy's opinion, a group of humans who have not actually fought orcs face to face cannot imagine how powerful those guys are, and all he has to do is tell them about the weakness of the enemy.

Including the orc's combat style, combat skills, footstep rhythm and movement habits, these are the experiences summed up by countless people on the battlefield with their lives, and if they can remember three or four, the chance of survival is often several times higher than that of the ignorant, so in Luo Di's opinion, this kind of "temporary training" is completely necessary.

"Orcs are so powerful that you should never try to block with a weapon, or even with a shield, because when you find your arm broken, it's too late to dodge. ”

"How do you judge their attack? Stick to these guys' shoulders, and if there is a shake, immediately back away..."

"The orc's turning movement will be very slow, don't try to face him alone, you must learn to fight around him when three people besiege an orc at the same time!"

After a few simple bullet points, Roddy even demonstrated how to fight the orcs himself - it sounds fanciful, even ridiculous, but only a true tech nerd would understand how important these things are... It is important to understand that Roddy's own research on orcs is enough for him to write a professional-level paper: the attack interval of different orcs, attack styles, weapon attack routes, foot transfer habits, and even their language and writing, Roddy has done in-depth research.

It is with these studies that the technical nerd Roddy has gone from a half-monk to the forefront of PVP players in just a few years.

The experience in his mind can make a group of young people who only practice with wooden swords on the school field understand how to deal with the seemingly powerful but stupid green-skinned brute in a short time.

This seemingly improvised approach really brings more than just so-called "combat skills", it does more to give soldiers enough confidence to face the next battle - knowing what they are facing and knowing what they should do, which is why veterans are stronger than recruits, most of them die on the battlefield before they know this, and Roddy is using his experience to advance the process.
