Chapter 4 The Hurricane Knights' Reserves

(Chapter 2 arrives!) Ask for collection, ask for tickets, ask for tickets, ~~~~~~)

Five minutes later, on the training ground, which had already been vacated, Rhodes, who was dressed in steel armor and holding a wooden sword for training, and the apprentice knight named Su Lun were directly facing each other, looking at each other at a distance of fifty meters.

Rhodes's watch was a little loose, and the wooden sword in his hand was not raised in a standard posture, but was half-dragged in his hand as if he was holding it casually.

Compared with Rod's loose appearance, Suren, who was selected by Leibnis, was much stricter, and the wooden sword in his hand has always been maintained in a posture that is most conducive to cutting out and straining.

Seeing the situation of both, whether out of disdain or in favor of their own people, the midshipmen who had gathered around them began to support Suren in their hearts and words.

However, more than a dozen Bronze Knight instructors and Leibnis who crawled out of the pile of dead people on the battlefield all showed a look of surprise in their eyes when they saw the situation on the scene, especially Rhodes.

Most of the trainee knights in this training base are recruits selected from the Taran Kingdom, and after less than half a year of training, they used to rely on the advantages of equipment and combat power to fight those goblins, goblins, gnolls and other monsters, and the vision gap between them and those who really crawled out of the pile of dead people and the silver knights.

In the eyes of these apprentice knights, this guy Rhodes is obviously a hanger, and he is not at all a grade compared to Su Lun, who is always vigilant.

But in the eyes of these bronze knights and silver knights who have survived the battle for a long time, Su Lun's all-round vigilance is completely the unique nervousness of the recruits, and although Rhodes seems to have a lazy and casual expression, he gives them a feeling of danger that is indeed very familiar - the feeling of an experienced veteran meeting on the battlefield!

"There's something strange about this kid!"

"Indeed!"

"Let's see!"

More than a dozen veterans who cooperated tacitly completed a conversation with their eyes, and then Leibnis, who had no expectations for Rhodes, began to look forward to this probationary knight test

"It's a foot test! The tester only needs to hold on to an hourglass for a long time, and if they don't fail, they can be considered a pass!"

The exchange lasted only about ten seconds, and then a bronze knight, who was obviously a little inconvenient on one foot, stood up and shouted to Rod, Suren, and the others present.

The so-called infantry test is that without a war horse, everyone stands on the ground and uses swordsmanship to duel!

Of course, this is not because there is a lack of war horses on this side of the training ground or because Rhodes and Suren can't do it, but if you have a riding duel, it is too dangerous to be a trainee knight of the gray iron rank, although there are many trainee knights of the Hurricane Knights, but they don't plan to lose it in this kind of testing process!

On the contrary, compared to the high risk of being stabbed and stabbed to death by the opponent if you are not careful, the foot combat test is not only much less dangerous, but also more appropriate for testing the tactics and combat qualities of both sides.

As for the question of the Cadet Knight's test of foot combat? Dear, in addition to being proficient in at least three weapons, training horsemanship, and commanding, the most important indicator is the level of foot combat!

"Witness in the name of the Knights of the Hurricane Legion! Test start !!"

With the shouts of the Bronze Knight and a small hourglass erected, the test officially began.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Witness in the name of the Knights of the Hurricane Legion! Test start !!"

After the shouts of the Bronze Knight instructor who served as witnesses fell, Su Lun, who had been on high alert, took action.

"Whew-"

With a sound of leather boots rubbing, Su Lun's whole person launched a charge in a posture of tilting his body at a low angle, and the two-handed sword slashing practice sword made of hard wood in his hand began to be raised upwards and ready to be slashed at any time.

As the leader in this training camp, Su Lun himself is a figure similar to the level of genius, his height at the age of seventeen has almost reached about one meter eight, and his own strength has also reached the level of the peak of gray iron, it is very likely that he will stimulate his fighting spirit to become a real bronze knight before the age of eighteen!

Although as the third son of a viscount of the Taran Kingdom, Suren himself does not have the right to inherit the first inheritance, but the resources he enjoys as a descendant of the nobility are still not lacking. If it weren't for the fact that his two older brothers were not ordinary people, maybe he still had some hope of inheriting the family title before being selected for the Hurricane Legion.

However, after being selected by the Hurricane Legion, he had to leave his family territory and train hard with others at the Hurricane Knights Trainee Knights' Training Camp. And in the half-year training of the Hurricane Knights Trainee Knight Camp, Su Lun's strength, which was originally quite good and worked hard enough, has greatly improved, and now he is far from the official knight of the Bronze Rank in that he has not stimulated the Dou Qi to strengthen itself!

Originally, as the children of the nobility, Su Lun and Rhodes had no hatred before, so it stands to reason that they should not come forward to conduct a "test" like this. However, he was also a teenager, and Suren himself was arrogant, and he also expressed himself when Leibnis, the one-eyed silver knight, called out, and was chosen to fight Rhodes.

When he saw Rod's very lazy appearance, Su Lun, who still had some guilt in his heart, made up his mind to teach a good lesson to a guy like Rod who was loose by nature!

When the instructor's shout fell, with the fact that he had already reached the peak of his physical fitness, Su Lun rushed through a distance of dozens of meters almost instantly, and then the wooden two-handed sword in his hand was directly aimed at Rode's body and slashed head-on!

"Woo!!"

The wooden two-handed slashing sword with a length of one meter five or six turned into a black shadow in mid-air and made a whistling sound of breaking through the air, proving how powerful Su Lun's slash was!

Although the two-handed sword is made of wood, the two-handed sword is made of solid wood, which is not much different in weight from a real steel weapon, and in Su Renna's power swing, which is definitely more than 10 points, the lethality of people of the gray iron rank should not be underestimated!

In the face of Su Lun, who slashed with his sword violently, Rhodes' reaction was very simple, neither raising his sword to counterattack nor resisting, but simply retreating a big step backwards, lightly avoiding the whistling two-handed slashing sword.

The step of Rod just quitting seemed simple, but it made Su Lun, who was ready to be cut down, feel like vomiting blood!

In Su Lun's intended goal, he planned to directly defeat Rod by head-to-head confrontation, and at the same time, Su Lun was even thinking about Rode's subsequent counterattack to deal with it, where did he think that Rod actually took a big step back directly, and at the same time broke all his thoughts, he almost couldn't control the sword in his hand and twisted it directly to his waist.

"Don't run !!"

With Su Lun's shout, the two-handed slashing sword that had already been cut off was directly stopped, and then Su Lun, who was stepping forward, brought out a lower arc and swept directly at Rod who had just raised the wooden long sword in his hand!

"Knock !!"

Facing the sweep of the blonde kid named Su Lun on the opposite side, Rhodes directly erected the thick-backed slashing sword in his hand, and after blocking it with the opponent's two-handed slashing sword, it made a dull sound unique to the collision of wooden objects.

"I actually blocked it with one hand" After seeing Rod easily block his horizontal slash with the thick-backed sword he held with one hand, Su Lun, who was still full of anger in his head, immediately changed color, especially after feeling the feeling that the weapon in his hand could not be advanced, Su Lun's face became quite ugly.

As the leader and background of this Hurricane Knights Trainee Knight Training Ground, Su Lun's own knowledge is definitely not bad, and he can see the gap between himself and Rhodes in strength just from this moment.

Although the sword held in both hands did not exert all its strength when it swept just now, it was definitely stronger than Su Lun's one-handed swing of the sword, and now it was blocked by the opponent holding the sword with one hand? This means that the opponent's strength is much greater than his own!

"Damn! I should choose sword and shield equipment" Su Lun, who suddenly withdrew his hand and held the sword with both hands, and retreated as he looked at Rod's movements, regretting it in his heart.

Depending on the knight's equipment, knights are not required to be proficient in cavalry spears, two-handed swords and shields for dogfights or foot combat, war hammers and axes against heavily armored or large enemies, and throwing spears and throwing axes for medium and long-range use, but at least they need to be proficient!

Su Lun, who has also received knight education since childhood, should choose the sword and shield, which seems to be the most ordinary but also the most practical equipment, if he is cautious in battle. However, it is obvious that Su Lun, who is one of the top few in the training ground, also has a sense of pride in his heart, and after seeing Rod who did not show anything, he carelessly took the sword with both hands.

Now I found that the problem was wrong, but Su Lun couldn't ask to stop and change weapons, so now he could only distance himself from Rhodes, and prepare to give full play to the advantage of his two-handed slashing sword with a long killing distance, instead of playing melee combat with Rhodes, an enemy who had an obvious advantage in strength!

To Su Lun's surprise and the trainee knights and instructors who were watching the battle around him, in the face of Su Lun who was trying to distance himself, Rod himself did not choose to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but stood on the spot and raised the thick-backed long sword in his hand to aim at Su Lun, waiting for the other party to take the initiative to attack.

"Bastard"

Seeing the other party's action of underestimating himself (Su Lun thought to himself), Su Lun, who had retreated more than ten meters, began to have some fire in his eyes, and the grip of the sword in his hand that he trained to use both hands to slash the sword was held even harder.
