Volume 1 Against the Current, Chapter 7: The Eve of Transformation: Practice

So, in order to rebel and dismantle the tyrannical rule of the Campbells, this plan was launched.

This is not a mercenary organization, but an imperial killer organization called "Blood Oath", ostensibly an ordinary adventurer's guild, receiving bounty tasks for some harmful monsters, so as to earn commissions, and use this part of the commission to relieve some refugees and poor villages, provide food and other materials.

In fact, this is a part of the invisible light in the royal dispute, responsible for cleaning up the moths of the Gaiabrand Empire, that is, the corruption and evildoers of the Gaiabrand Empire that are currently under the control of the autocratic Campbell royal family, so as to disintegrate the Gaiabrand Empire step by step and the evil forces of the Campbell family.

The "Blood Oath" organization was originally founded by Duke Hollerwallens, the father of the Marquis of Ernest, in order to prevent rebellion after the marriage contract was broken.

Unfortunately, the generous and benevolent Grand Duke Holler Wallens did not expect that he trusted this marriage family too much, and did not pay much attention to the gossip and secrets within other families, and as a result, he carelessly died under the poisoning of Silides.

What's more, the death of the Duke of the Holler Wallens family, Silides also designed a fight within the big family, blaming the Marquis of Holler Wallence for killing his father because of the title battle, which made the people's anger monstrous, and the Marquis of Ernest was executed under the initiation of the people's fanaticism.

Be a messenger of righteousness! ’

"Okay, I'll accept the task."

At this time, Koichiro solemnly agreed to Lilith's arrangement.

"Tomorrow night, we'll leave in the early morning!" Lilith said.

"Yes," Ashley, Lulu replied in unison.

But assassination was not as easy as I imagined! ’

'Tomorrow, what kind of bloody storm?' ’

——

As soon as Hangichiro thought that he would have to experience another fierce battle in this world tomorrow night, he was one head and two big.

'Actually, I'm a peace-loving Sao Nian! ’

Having said that, since Sakamoto Koichiro is dressed in the sheepskin of the son of the duke of a large family, he wants to be a happy gentleman who does not understand the world in troubled times, and he can only achieve it when the world is calm.

First of all, it is necessary to live well for the owner of this body, and it would be great if the original owner's last wish could be fulfilled.

'There are about forty hours until tomorrow night, so it looks like we need to make some preparations today!' ’

At this time, Koichiro thought of the members of the organization.

'To whom should I ask for advice?' It's always good to be able to practice swordsmanship. ’

'Ashley's words looked weak, and he was a warlock, as if he were ...... You still need my protection......' Koichiro instantly dismissed the idea of asking Ashley for advice.

But at the thought of Lilith's cold iceberg face, Koichiro shuddered, "Will this iceberg beauty be found out to be an impostor?" ’

"Oops!"

Someone, who had just been poked in the back by Koichiro, covered his mouth lightly and sneezed firmly.

"Huh? Tomorrow night's sword soul is thinking about my knife sharpening skills so early? Lilith asked with a frown, confused.

"Uh...... What's in ...... mind? ”

Lulu heard Lilith's words, looked up from the book, and looked blankly, "Huh? What are the symptoms of memory messiness? I saw the page......"

It's nothing, Lulu is just reading a book "100 Ways to Cure Natural Stays", which should fit the symptoms described in the book.

'Who's the best to turn to?' Koichiro was embarrassed.

At this time, the image of a tall and burly confident uncle appeared in Hanichiro's mind in a flash of inspiration, Lord Brude!

"I wonder if Bruder is a swordsmanship?" Koichiro muttered to himself.

"Lord Ernest, miss me?"

was heard by Brude, who was passing by behind him unconsciously, and Brude slapped Koichiro's shoulder, and then confidently touched his long bangs, "I'm not good at swordsmanship, I'm not bad at everything." ”

"Uh......" Koichiro said in a speechless manner, the extent of this narcissism.

"Want me to practice swords? Your Excellency Ernest likes to practice swords with me every time before a mission, and it seems that I am the source of your sense of security! ”

Brude went straight to invite Koichiro to practice swordsmanship with him, and even rolled up his sleeves to show off a well-developed muscle in his arm.

'It's okay to feel safe, but you don't have to ......' Koichiro finally knew why Lilith was so disappointing Bruder's confidence.

'It's okay to practice swords!' ’

"Wait, Your Excellency, I'll get the sword for you!" Bruder turned and went to the arsenal.

"Good! Thank you! Koichiro breathed a sigh of relief.

--

"Your Excellency, your black iron sword! Here you go! Bruder handed a sharp black iron sword to Koichiro, "I used a white iron sword today, oh, it was made in a pair." ”

"......" Suddenly, a string of crows flew overhead.

What's going on with the feeling of calcium gas in calcium overflowing from the other side......

Koichiro looked at it, and it was indeed easier than the sword he rescued at Campbell's Palace last time, but the material was the same.

"This is a sword for everyone?" Koichiro asked curiously.

"Ah no, no, no, they are all swords provided from the backup army, and they are more durable, after all, how can we fight without a sword in the front."

"So, is there a lack of sword-making talent for the Blood Oath?"

"There are not many capable sword-makers, and only loyal people can enter the Blood Oath, and now, almost all of the sword-making talents are included in the Campbell royal family's army of the Gaia Brand Empire. Your Excellency, make do with it, and I'll share it with you when I have a good weapon. Bruder said, because he knew a lot about weapons and formations.

So that's the case, and it seems that Cilides still has some means of governance. ’

Koichiro thought about it for a while, and he also had a rough plan in his heart.

Underground in the castle is a spacious dojo where you can not only fight against swordsmanship, but also study magic and improve archery.

Koichiro held the hilt of the sword, put the sword in the center of his body, and put himself in a posture, his eyes staring intently at Bland, who was standing tall and tall in armor on the opposite side.

I have to say that the heavily armed Brand can give people a strong sense of oppression, which is completely different from his usual chatty and confident appearance, perhaps because he treats this pre-war preparation with a serious attitude.

"Your Excellency, don't be frightened by my gorgeous swordsmanship!"

After performing a standard non-commissioned officer salute with his right hand, Brand also drew his white sword and placed it horizontally in front of him, assuming a defensive posture.

'With such a proper pre-war preparation, I always feel that his unruly remarks have completely changed the atmosphere......

"How offended!" Koichiro bowed his head slightly and responded.

So, Hanichiro flew forward, and first used the previous |cross-cutting|sword technique to attack Brude, but Brude swung his sword to block it, and reflexively kicked a side.

And when Brude's long legs were about to sweep to the abdomen, Ryichiro strode back and dodged it with agility, Bruder then used a thrust, and Ryichiro leaned back again and dodged.

As you come and go, Koichiro constantly jots down Brude's attacks, his legs, and the swordsmanship he uses.

"Your Excellency is only hiding?" Bruder didn't forget to provoke him.

"Not necessarily!"

Taking advantage of the arrogant man's own words, Koichiro turned around and used a sword technique that Bruder had learned in the army, double-edged handover, and cross-slash.

This move is very suitable for the agile and sharp-minded Hangichiro, who draws a cross slash with a very fast diagonal attack, and the speed can be said to be extraordinary, to be honest, Hangichiro watched it twice before he figured out the trajectory of this move out of the sword.

In the continuous practice, Koichiro also basically understood Brude's swordsmanship routine.

"Ah, have you learned my swordsmanship? Your Excellency used to disdain the swordsmanship of other schools, and I think it would insult the tradition of royal swordsmanship! ”

Bruder saw that his swordsmanship had been learned, and he screamed in a hurry.
