"No matter what weapon you use, no matter who you are fighting against, it's important to have a clear understanding of the range of both sides, and this sense of distance determines your room to dodge and attack."

……

The sons of warriors from Shitang Town didn't come specifically to rescue them, they were originally going to King's Landing, but they just set off when they encountered the helper sent out by the team, so they rushed over.

It was only because they had gone wrong with Lan Li that these people ran to the village behind them, and in the end, they were able to catch up with them.

Since they joined the team, Lan Li has not seen the riders hanging behind them, and it seems that the crisis has been resolved.

It is unclear who sent the Rites, but the Sons of the Warriors claim that someone will investigate them, and they take over the two captives.

So Lan Li didn't ask any more.

King's Landing was still a long way from here, and it was impossible for them to travel all the way without stopping, so whenever they rested, the knight named Murray Grell would call Lan Li and teach him all kinds of fighting techniques or have his own squires practice with him, which was obviously what he was taught.

"Swordsmanship doesn't rely on your instinct to slash, dodge, or block, but on your mind. Knowing the enemy's behavior and habits to find out whether his personality is cautious or aggressive, so as to lay out the tactics and then execute them, this is the first thing you should consider. ”

The sound of wooden swords clashing, accompanied by the middle-aged knight's stern teachings, continued to sound beside the riverbank. There were some warriors' sons watching around, and more were in the camp not far away, making fires and cooking, and the crowd was surging and lively.

Because of the addition of the knights, the team began to absorb some travelers on the road again, and it seemed that they had no concern about whether they would be attacked, Lan Li guessed that there might be something to rely on in it, but he didn't think about it at the moment, and devoted himself to training.

Western swordsmanship seems to have few tricks, but in fact there are still many fixed moves, attacking, blocking, and starting...... Lan Li has been learning these things lately.

And when you have learned all the basics, you need to start repeating and practicing and turning the knowledge into practice.

Lan Li was quite unfamiliar with this, although he had a wealth of "actual combat experience", but it was only for bows and daggers, even if he had practiced spears, using this kind of longsword held in both hands to block attacks was still full of strangeness to him, and the full-body armor he was wearing also made him look clumsy.

Instinctively grasp the size of the sword, the range of attacks, the strength and weakness of the sword, and the so-called tactical ......

Practicing with him was the squire of Knight Murray, a small man with brown hair, a young face, who looked thin and dexterous after putting on the armor, and looked much smaller than Lan Li.

It's just that between the two fights, the big man was beaten by the small man and retreated, the two wooden swords collided, and Lan Li's defense occupied most of the situation, looking in a hurry, and the iron armor on his body was beaten with a bang.

The group of knights who watched the excitement around him often commented on this, but they didn't laugh at anything, although Lan Li was a knight, but his previous combat exploits were enough for these people around him to have a certain recognition of him.

Knight Murray, who was in charge of teaching, spoke unceremoniously, and he had to take out and reprimand him for the slightest mistake.

Lan Li is happy to accept this.

In addition to the use of the long sword, the training he received every day also included the mastery of the shield, and compared to the use of the sword, there was a back and forth, and the practice of the shield was completely passive.

In addition to this, his riding skills were tested and were deemed by the Murray Knight to be unrepentant.

"You're better qualified than most knights for riding a horse alone, which is rare for your age." So the knight commented.

Lan Li just smiled at this.

Wearing heavy armor and practicing for days, he sweated profusely every day, and his body was full of exhaustion, but his mental head became more and more sufficient, and he was less troubled by the leadership team, and he was happy to devote himself to this kind of physical and mental work.

And the knights who watched them practice for a long time were also surprised to find that this big man, who was powerless under the attack of the little squire at the beginning, was stronger for a longer time, and finally he was able to fight back and forth with the squire.

This progress is becoming more and more obvious day by day, and they have to sigh that the talent of this grassroots knight is really amazing.

The discussion reached its peak during a sparring session, and Lan Li, who was constantly defending, suddenly probed his sword to separate the enemy's long sword after an attack by the opponent, and knocked the wooden sword used for practice on the door of the opponent's helmet-wearing head, and then took advantage of the situation to fall down The sword body across his neck exposed the gap in the armor and knocked lightly, making a muffled sound of chain mail colliding.

That means he's already won!

Lisuo's actions provoked a lot of applause, and some people stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder happily to show encouragement, and even the little man who practiced with him was sincerely happy for him and stepped forward to hug him.

Although he was tired and panting, and his body was full of exhaustion, Lan Li himself was also happy because at the moment of his victory, the ability to master the long sword had reached Lv4.

The shield block, another skill you learned on the way, is at Lv3 level.

Just laughed for a while, he restrained his mood and was no longer complacent, one victory does not mean everything, every battle is a new beginning, even a veteran knight is difficult to guarantee victory in every competition.

Moreover, although these abilities are progressing rapidly, the higher they are to level up, the more difficult it becomes, according to Lan Li's experience, the level of 1-3 is the easiest to promote, after the fourth level it is very difficult, and the process of 6-7 requires day after day of grinding to learn.

And with his current ability level, he is not qualified to participate in the Seven Sons Trial. At the same time, even if qualified, these are secondary.

Because the most important ability of the Seven Sons Judgment is not the long sword, but the spear charge.

In the history of the Targaryen Dynasty, there have only been two trials of the Seven Sons, one soon after and the other more than a hundred years later.

But he read through the trial that followed.

The first thing that started with the Seven Sons Trial was a face-to-face cavalry charge, and if this step was played well, it would basically be possible to decide the winner in one round.

Although the knights said that the most important thing in the cavalry charge is riding rather than spear, but the most important thing is not the only one, and the mastery and familiarity with the riding spear is also a problem that must be faced.

However, Lan Li already had an eyebrow about this, or he had found a point that could be exploited.

The armor of the current era seems to be significantly different from that of later generations, not in terms of defensive capabilities, but in some kind of secondary ability......

Lan Li pondered this, so on the way to rest after a practice, he asked the young attendants with whom he was practicing.

"After joining the Warrior's Son, will my armor also have to be tailor-made?"

"Of course, the suit of armor you are wearing now does not fit well, and it is not good for performance in real battles at all, and the armor of the warrior's son is standard." The other party replied.

Lan Li then put his mind at ease, and then devoted himself to training.

Although Knight Murray initially claimed that he could not accept Lan Li, during the days of hurrying, the man's tone loosened a lot, and Lan Li was already able to make sure that there would be no accidents when he joined the Warrior's Son.

This may be the legacy of the old knight, or it may be his own merits and talents, and of course it may be a combination of the two.

So at present, all he needs to do is to ensure that he can join smoothly in the future trial of the Seven Sons.

He didn't have much to think about it at the moment, he could only take one step at a time, and under the constant rush and training, time passed quickly.

Until one gloomy morning, the shadow of King's Landing loomed.

Just after getting closer, Lan Li found that the city seemed to be very chaotic at the moment, and even a war was breaking out.
