Chapter 334: The Sword Emperor's Basic Guidance
"This, why did Lord Lloyd do this?" Sojes's surprise in his heart was not small, his thoughts were the same as Shiva, he felt that he and Lloyd had a relationship after all, but he had never met the Sword Emperor, at least he thought so before today, and if the Sword Emperor was not Shiva, then would he really point out himself?
"He doesn't mean anything malicious, and that's for your own good. Surprisingly, Shiva did not speak ill of Lloyd, but interpreted the kindness of Lloyd's action.
It turned out that Lloyd had already seen that Sogers's style did not match his own, so he deliberately asked Olena to test when Sogers entered the training ground for training, although he originally had the idea of pushing Sogers to Shiva for guidance, but this idea was not obvious, until Olena informed him of the results that he finally understood that he was not the most suitable mentor for Sojas, although he could let him get a boost in strength, but because the styles of the two people were diametrically opposed, the longer he was taught, the easier it was for Sojes's style to become nondescript, and the consequences of this would naturally directly affect his future。
"So, Lloyd saw that your style was more similar to mine, so he let you come to me, and you can actually think about it, if he really just asked you to deliver a letter, then why did the fleet that sent you leave after you landed on the island?" "Uh......" Sojers had nothing to say, he hadn't thought of it until now.
After a while, Sojes looked at Khiva with a look of hope, "Then, brother-in-law, can you ......?"
Shiva didn't know what he was thinking, and sighed half helplessly and half depressedly, "What else can I do? You are also my brother-in-law, you can't let you be beaten to death by someone in a few years, right?"
The meaning of this sentence is already very obvious, Sojes can't help but be ecstatic even if he has been prepared, in fact, if he has a choice, he himself is more inclined to get Shiva's guidance, after all, Shiva is the same as him, he is a heavy sword swordsman, and the way of attack is also wide open, but at that time he didn't know who the Sword Emperor was, so he could only go to meet Lloyd, but he didn't want to meet Shiva unexpectedly after meeting.
Fate is such a thing, it is really incomprehensible.
Since he has this relationship, Shiva will naturally not be stingy, but because he himself is not mentally prepared, and he doesn't know where to start, so he will let Sojes rest here for a day today, and make a decision after he has thought through all the processes.
Sojes didn't have any opinions, but he wasn't idle on this day, as soon as he was free, he would go to the open space in front of the house to practice swinging his sword, and Shiva watched at the door of the house, and didn't say anything, as if he was thinking about something, but the longer he looked at it, the tighter his brow became.
Shiva's expression didn't let Sojes see it, the latter was still concentrating on practicing there, every time he swung his sword, the blade stayed at the same height, after so many years of practice, he had already memorized these movements in his body, and every time he swung it, he must ensure the strength of the sword.
From the afternoon to the night, Shiva finally couldn't stand it anymore, "Jack, you stop for a moment!" "Huh?" Sojes stopped swinging his sword in surprise, he had been swinging his sword all afternoon, and he didn't even sweat a drop......
"I want to ask you, the long sword or the heavy sword, which one do you prefer?" Shiva's expression was a little serious, the majesty of the Sword Emperor was revealed at this moment, and Sojes instinctively did not dare to slack off.
"Naturally, it's a heavy sword. ”
"Since it is inclined to heavy sword, then what is the use of you using the long sword to practice swinging the sword?" Shiva sneered, and before he could speak, Shiva said: "The long sword takes a light path, emphasizing speed and change, focusing on speed and dexterity, and the heavy sword is open and close, although the changes are few, but the power is not reduced! The emphasis is on strength and momentum, since you are inclined to heavy sword, what is the use of you swinging the long sword all the time? Do you think you have too much energy?"
"Uh......" Sorjes had nothing to say, he knew all this, but he didn't think so much about it when he was doing the exercises, and every time he used whatever sword he had in his hand, he would use it to practice.
"If you want to swing a sword, you can, but swinging a sword with this kind of thing will only make your last path nondescript, don't do this today, think about your own problems. With that, Khiva went back to the house.
Practicing swords since childhood, but it is the first time that he has been criticized to this extent, Sojes feels a little aggrieved for the first time, but there is no way to refute it, obviously Shiva asked him to reflect on it, but he can't think of anything......
It was already night, Shiva went into the black pine forest to hunt, and casually killed a leopard-shaped monster, although Sojes had not yet come up with the result, he was also called out by him to eat, and neither of them opened their mouths during the meal, and they were thinking about something.
At noon the next day, Shiva called Sojes out again, and the latter's eyes were a little dark, and it seemed that he had not slept well, and he did not know if he was not used to the environment here or had other thoughts.
"Jack, I have also analyzed your current problem, you don't only know one routine like an ordinary swordsman, whether it is a heavy sword or a long sword, these are easy for you to use, but with your identity and your style, I think the heavy sword is more suitable for you. ”
"Why do you say that?" "Sojes Daqi, he knew that he was more inclined to the heavy sword, but that was just a matter of habit, because when he was a child, he often watched Shiva practice swordsmanship, and felt that it was very powerful to use a wide and large sword, so he used the heavy sword most of the time until Lloyd gave him the Doomsday Oath, but even if he used the long sword temporarily, he could get started very quickly, which made him never figure out which one he was suitable for last night.
"First, you are personally inclined to the heavy sword, and second, you are the head of the pirate group, and you can really exert your indomitable courage with the heavy sword, and this momentum is also very important to the pirates, you should have led the charge more than once in the past, right?" Shiva said at the end of the rhetorical question, and Sojesden suddenly realized that he was not stupid, and he already understood what Shiva was trying to express.
There are gladiatorial arenas in the major empires and pirate cities, among which the most ornamental gladiatorial battles are not the gorgeous magic between magicians and magicians, but the confrontation between heavy sword swordsmen, as Shiva said, the attacks of heavy sword swordsmen are usually wide open, less varied but extremely powerful, and the swordsmen of the heavy sword flow are only slightly inferior to the fighters in terms of strength at most, but in terms of skills, the fighters are far from being able to compare with them, like them, who have skills but can cause visual impact, have always been able to sublimate the battle into a blood-boiling interpretation。
And what Shiva wants to express is actually this, Sojes who holds the Oath of Doom is indeed much stronger than him who holds the last weapon, but these are also based on the fact that the Oath of Doom is an epic weapon, and it also has the powerful killing skill of the Imperial Star Scar Sword Array.
It's a pity that although his personal strength has improved in this way, he will charge forward every time he fights, but the morale impact it can bring is not as good as before, which he didn't realize at the time, but when he thinks about it today, he does find a lot of problems.
Seeing Sojes' contemplative face, Shiva was somewhat satisfied, at least his words were still listened to by him, so he struck while the iron was hot: " The reason why you have been able to develop the pirate group rapidly is related to your own strength and potential, secondly, the Brustein family behind you has invisibly blocked some opponents for you, and thirdly, you have a good military quality, and those wild pirates cannot be compared with you at all unless they can survive in constant battles, but in my opinion, you have only made full use of the first one, and you have only used half of the remaining two advantages!"
"What do you mean by that?" Thorges wondered.
"You're not like idiots who just die in the academy, you like to draw your own conclusions on a certain thing from all sides, so you should also know what kind of people are most likely to obey orders in battle. Shiva was sold, and Sojes blurted out two words in his mind.
"Fierce General!"
"That's good!" Shiva praised, and at this time, Sojes completely understood why he paid more attention to the cultivation of the heavy sword.
Whether it is the navy or pirates, there are quite a few people who do things with enthusiasm, first take the navy as an example, the navy soldiers and grassroots non-commissioned officers will indeed obey the orders of the staff officers because of their official positions, but this obedience is also of a forced nature, but what if the person who gives the order is the kind of fierce general who takes the lead? The result is different, every time in wartime, staff officers will often be in a safe area to give command from a distance, but the fierce generals are not, their approach has always been to charge at the forefront, with an indomitable momentum to intimidate the opponent and at the same time boost their own morale.
Take Bagas as an example, in terms of command ability, Bagas is actually not very good, when he was still a colonel-level officer, he was already the most headache for the staff officers of the French Empire, because every time he fought, he did not listen to the command, and completely relied on his own style to fight hard, and it was difficult for him to be able to, even if he was in danger, even if he was outnumbered, he could kill the enemy in fear, therefore, he also played the prestige of the French Empire during the period from school to commander, and at the same time, he also made himself the most admired figure by grassroots officers。
Like Brian, fighting is also Bagas's absolute strength, and what is different from Brian is his style, even if he becomes a commander, he still likes to charge forward, so whenever he fights, his direct fleet has always been one of the most morale-high, although they have also experienced defeats, but so what? As long as Bagas is still standing, as long as he can still fight, then the morale of the whole army will definitely not fall below the average.
The navy is like this, not to mention the more impulsive pirates, there are many old oilmen among the pirates, but it is undeniable that there are actually more impulsive people in this area than the navy, and they are also more susceptible to this aspect, and the pirates are more ferocious than the navy, so they are also more affected.
"You are only one step away from the Eight Masters, your fleet is strong enough, but your personal strength is not enough, but just one Eight Masters, can it really satisfy your appetite?" Shiva looked at Sogers with some amusement, and the latter's face was as usual, and he couldn't see joy or anger.
"With my current strength, I can consider these at most, as for more distant goals...... That's a little too early. "Sorjes isn't a big guy, he prefers to play steady, and he thinks that doing so will make the team more tolerant of mistakes and have more leeway in the future.
But he didn't want to, Shiva scoffed at this statement, "The tsunami has come, the major forces have begun to reshuffle, this is certainly a crisis for potential pirates like you, but it is also a rare opportunity, if there is no mutual weakening caused by the collision between the big forces, how long do you think it will take for your dragon tooth pirate group to replace it?"
This is the truth, if it is still like the original era when wars were not too frequent, such as the Six Emperors of Pirates, they almost didn't need to be dispatched, they just had to wait for the country's worship, and even they had their own independent bases, without the baptism of war, they could develop slowly on their own.
For example, although the Dragon's Tooth Pirate Regiment has a base, how can they compare with those pirates in terms of team influence, personnel allocation, base size, and even the most basic financial resources? Therefore, in peacetime, let alone replace the Six Emperors, they can't even narrow the gap between the two sides, because the other party's scale is too large, and the development speed will only be higher than that of the rest of the pirate groups.
Sojes admitted that he was not willing to be just a pirate Bajie, Shiva's words were indeed said in his heart, and he also had some intentions, but these intentions finally turned into a sigh, "I really want to be as beautiful as the Six Pirate Emperors, but how can it be so easy!"
"Hmph, I said you have, you have, I can tell you some secrets among the strong in advance, even if it is among the ninth order, it is actually divided into ordinary and elite levels!" Shiva sneered twice, this sentence also made Sojes a little surprised, "How can there be any mediocrity who can reach the ninth order?"
"It's too early to tell you this, you just need to know that if you can reach the ninth order, even if you have just broken through, you are also the elite among them, by the way, everyone in the Six Emperors of Pirates belongs to the elite level, even Arubas and the Ice Queen who have not yet broken through, and among those so-called potential pirates, you are the only one who has this quality. Shiva didn't know why, he often talked about it, and whenever he said the right thing, he suddenly intercepted it, making Sojes seem to scratch his heart with a hundred claws, but at this time, no matter how he asked, Shiva just didn't speak.
