Chapter 45: Choice

As a heavy infantry commander, Matthew is not short of strength! All he lacks is a more rational use of power!

This is also known as theory!

Both are heavily armed warriors, although they are old in teaching and Matthew is learning, but any communication between warriors is common!

A sledgehammer is a model of heavy weapons.

Most of them are blunt weapons! With the characteristics of indomitable energy, it has become the most oppressive representative of all cold weapons!

If you rub it, you will hurt, and if you knock it, you will die!

Of course, there are also some people who want to avoid the shortcomings of its extremely slow attack and defense speed, and choose to reduce the weight of the hammer and increase the barb nail hook to make up for the lack of lethality!

Even if you use this kind of wolftooth hammer that evolved from a sledgehammer, it is not something that can be controlled by an ordinary physique!

The philosophy taught by Lao Yu is very simple!

Inertia!

The great inertia of each powerful swing, if it can be used reasonably, can cause a continuous and continuous attack, so that the enemy has no time to counterattack and resist at all!

So, the most serious drawback of the use of heavy weapons - slowness and sluggishness!

It was made up to a certain extent!

Don't give your enemies a chance to breathe, they should be smashed into smig or smithereens in defense!

The essence of using a sledgehammer is not only for the adults in the car, but even for the children!

Although Ma Shuo didn't understand the deep meaning behind these words, this was Grandpa Yu's ability!

So, it should be written down!

Although it was extremely difficult, Ma Shuo still tried his best to write down most of the key points!

Power!inertia!spin!

Because he has personally experienced the kung fu of Lao Yu's hands, Matthew is listening, learning, and sharing carefully at the moment!

Although his skills are not as good as those of Lao Yu, his arrogance as the strongest in terms of strength in the entire Gaya City will never allow him to just obediently listen to the lectures like a nerd!

He wants to turn this kind of learning into a kind of communication!

Lao Yu did discover some subtle skills from this conversation to make his hammering method more flexible and changeable!

In the evening, I casually found a country inn to eat, and when the owner saw the milk-white hooded robe on the high priest representing the Church of Ash Mountain, he immediately showed extraordinary enthusiasm!

If Matthew hadn't stopped the shopkeeper's next exciting move, maybe the food and accommodation expenses of the group would have been saved!

After dinner, more than 20 people put their luggage back to the villagers' houses, and later gathered in the square used to dry the grain!

Lao Yu personally practiced his martial arts skills a few times before they went back to their rooms to rest!

He didn't want to change Matthew's current martial arts habits, he just hoped that he could try to make up for his shortcomings from his theories and demonstrations!

As for whether the hammer method can go further, it is definitely not possible to show the effect overnight!

And the most important thing at the moment is to go to Alpine City! Then you can continue to leave the Maple Leaf Country north, or turn around and head east to the national capital Flame City!

Now that I have the money given by the Pope, it is better to find a safe place that no one knows.

Although the young master has long passed the age of going to school, without the accumulation of wisdom and wealth, it is impossible to fight against the behemoth of the Black Gate!

Before dawn the next day, the twenty-odd people set off again. For every minute of delay, there is two more possibilities for a plague outbreak in Alpine City!

There was still constant communication along the way, and this time even several high priests participated with great enthusiasm.

In addition to the driver still engrossed in driving, even Ma Shuo looked carefully at every adult involved in the communication and tried to write down everything he could remember!

Because grandpa said a long time ago, these martial arts may be useless now, but they will definitely be able to provide great help to themselves in the future!

Late at night, they are still half a day's way away from the range of Alpine City, and they will be able to rush to the foot of the Twin Mountains for lunch tomorrow!

But it also means that some hungry outcasts or bandits who were hiding nearby are about to appear somewhere in front of everyone!

Although the Inhumans have disappeared for many years, the population recovery of various countries is still a big headache for most kings, including the Maple Leaf Kingdom!

The land is vast and sparsely populated, and there will be large barren mountains and mountains between every city!

Tonight, they will sleep in the wilderness!

In order to prevent being disturbed at night, Lao Yu and Matthew, as the two most powerful people in the team, jointly decided to lead half of the high priest to keep vigil!

Five bonfires were on the outskirts, and ten high priests stood guard in pairs around them. Inside are resting tents and five cars, and in the middle are trucks carrying obsidian and medical supplies!

After Ma Shuo fell asleep in a single tent, Lao Yu came to sit down by the campfire in the northernmost part of the camp, staring at the "crackling" orange flames in front of him!

Tomorrow!

Recall the conversation we had at the beginning of our meeting with the Pope!

Sure enough, even a former lord like the Pope would not offend another country that was completely hostile for the sake of two irrelevant outsiders!

"Mr. Yu, I can't tell the truth of your words! And the Maple Leaf Kingdom doesn't want to participate in any war at all! For us, population recovery is the most important thing! The Inhumans are dead! The wounds are still bleeding!" The Pope's words seemed to be echoing in his ears all the time!

"The Inhumans are dead, but the wounds are still bleeding!" whispered, repeating.

Lao Yu slowly raised his head, looked at the half moon that appeared in the dark night sky, and sighed heavily!

"Mr. Yu, what's wrong?" said the senior priest named Ram next to him as he handed the water to Old Yu.

Lao Yu took the kettle, unscrewed the stopper, drank a few big sips, wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth and shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly remembered that I was going to arrive in Alpine City tomorrow, and I thought of those suffering refugees!"

Ram also sighed when he heard this: "The population of the Maple Leaf Country is still a little sparse, and the financial resources are not sufficient, including the Pope, all the Gray Mountain churches only wear cloth robes to take the lead in advocating frugality!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the linen robe on his body and continued: "Coupled with the culpability of the Alan City Lord's dereliction of duty, the Allen River embankment will not be able to hold on and collapse!

When Lao Yu heard this, he frowned and didn't answer.

Suddenly, from the throat down to the stomach, it hurts as if it has been torn apart!

When I wanted to get up and call for help or return to the tent to protect the child, I found that my whole body, including my tongue, could not move a bit!

There is a problem in the water!

"Poof!" fell to the ground, and soon the entire chest and abdomen seemed to be grabbed and twisted, but he could only slump like mud and snort beside the fire!

Anger, remorse, doubt!

There is also a tragic mixture of attachment to Ma Shuo and shame to the ancestors of the Ma family!

His eyes were extremely complicated, staring at Ram who was slowly getting up! Gradually, the other high priests also came forward!

The vision is already blurred!

Matthew squeezed to the front row with a broken gold sledgehammer in one hand, and looked coldly at Lao Yu, who was already bleeding from seven holes on the ground: "Friend! or enemy! You have already made your choice!"

With that, the blade of the gold sledgehammer was raised high downward.

"I'm sorry! I'm a soldier!"

"Whew!"
