Chapter 43: The Sword and the Body Together

Indeed, if the employer is dead, even a mercenary of high moral character like Lormine or Grant is still a mercenary after all, and he will definitely not easily offend a knight or even the nobles behind him when there is no hope of getting paid.

But Luo Ming naturally had no intention of letting his hard work in the past few days go to waste.

A knight's domain, a knightly title that does not have to fulfill his duty of allegiance, and the trust of a young baron...... Thousands of people are willing to risk their lives for any of them.

Together, even Luo Ming couldn't be unmoved.

Aya also gave the corresponding task, although she did not say what would happen after the one-month deadline, it is likely that there was no punishment, but Luo Ming did not want to disappoint her.

And he wants to take this opportunity to prove that he is sufficient, and these rewards are just in the pocket.

Therefore, even in the face of the rushing knight, he did not hesitate, let alone retreat.

At this level, today's Luo Ming is completely unafraid!

When Granty was perfunctory, he had already drawn his sword from its sheath. In a special breathing rhythm, the heart pumps blood throughout the body, accompanied by fighting energy, dispels the slight fatigue after sitting for a long time, and the stiff muscles regain their elasticity.

Then, it seems that every muscle fiber, every vessel, and nerve has entered the best state of battle.

It's like thousands of crossbows are pulled apart in the body, accumulating huge power.

When the knight's horse's hooves approached, and when he reached the cordon in his heart in the middle of listening to the sound, Luo Ming suddenly opened his eyes!

As if there was an invisible chill emanating from it, Sherlock couldn't help but shiver, but he didn't hesitate in the movements of his hands.

He wound a crossbow and set it aside, where there was another well-wound crossbow. Although this has an impact on the lifespan of the crossbow, two crossbow arrows that can be fired at any time are definitely a must-have in battle.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Luo Ming, he just wants to have more ability to protect himself and less drag the other party back.

On the side facing the knight, the door suddenly opened, and a cold light shot out of it!

The light flickered, and a scream broke through the air sounded, and for a moment it seemed that the figure holding the sword could not be seen clearly, only a slender and sharp sword light rushed forward.

Like a meteor streaking across the sky, it spans a distance of several meters in an instant, and the light is dazzling.

Those who saw the sword light all had tears in their eyes. The Knights were no exception.

But the training has allowed him to dilute his fears - it's not surprising that on the battlefield, he may encounter dazzling spells. Holding back tears, he forcibly opened his eyes.

As for that sword light, in the final analysis, it is no different from the cavalry spear stabbed by another knight head-on, and it can resist it!

He shouted and raised his gun to meet him, and the whole man and the horse turned into a cannonball of flesh and steel.

Enemies with mantis arms will be pierced, flying for several meters, and those who are lucky enough to evade the spear will be smashed to the bone and broken tendons, and trampled into flesh!

The two charge each other, with relative speed comparable to arrows, and strong inertia. Luo Ming didn't reserve much strength to spare, it was too late, and he didn't have the strength to turn and retreat, but he didn't have the slightest intention of stopping.

The sword and the spear intersected, sparks flew everywhere, but they did not slow for a moment, but forward, forward!

The sword light seemed to fall apart, scattering a snowflake in the air, and the figures and knights staggered, some of them landing in a hurry, almost unsteady on their feet.

The knight seemed to be charging forward, about to shoot through the wide open door. The bandits couldn't help but cheer.

Sherlock subconsciously shot a crossbow arrow, but plate armor is plate armor after all, even if at such a close distance, it is likely to break the armor, but he is not sure whether the arrow can penetrate deep into the flesh and flesh to inflict heavy damage on the enemy.

However, before the tip of the spear touched the carriage, and the arrow had barely touched the plate armor, the tip of the rifle fell to the ground.

It turned out that it had been cut off by Luo Ming's sword.

Immediately, a burst of blood splashed in all directions, and the right arm wrapped in the heavy plate armor grabbed the remaining half of the cavalry spear and broke away from its body, spun and flew out, falling to the ground several meters away.

The wound was smooth and neat, and the plate itself was not damaged in the slightest, except for a few frenulums that were broken.

The horses ran past the side of the carriage, and the knight wailed and lost his balance, and fell from his horse, his armor trembling, and a heavy metal clang.

It was the head that landed on the ground, and the wailing stopped abruptly, and even the breath quickly weakened...... I guess I broke my neck.

The bandits were bloodless, and if there was no accident, one knight could scatter them and kill half of them, but now they were killed by someone else in one stroke while charging.

Looking at the man who was looking around with his sword, there was almost no blood on his body, only a scrape on his shoulder, which was also very inconspicuous.

He swung his sword casually and threw a few drops of blood out.

Luo Ming was not surprised by this result, at most, he felt that the guy was unlucky and would fall to his death.

He now wears a chain mail that Sherlock helped buy, and the top half of the leather armor that protects against the spring cold on the outside.

Even if the riding gun has a fighting spirit, it can weaken the lethality of several percent, and block it for a moment - in this short moment, it is enough for Luo Ming to adjust his body posture to minimize the damage, and this abrasion can be regarded as not skilled enough.

This is the advantage of armor, even the attacks of opponents of the same level will be weakened, and weaker attacks may even be ineffective.

In their previous lives, the two masters once specifically said that part of the difference between the so-called Jianghu people and the regular army lies in this - on the battlefield, spears and arrows may come from all directions at any time, and no matter how good a person is, he only has two hands, so he will naturally be tired of coping.

However, if you wear armor, stray arrows that are not specifically aimed at are basically no threat, and most of your melee attacks will not be able to deal damage. Unless completely surrounded, the miscellaneous can barely pose a threat.

The knights of the European Middle Ages were not vindictive, but they were able to come and go freely in the array of conscripted peasant soldiers, and personal heroism flourished for hundreds of years, thanks to the role of armor.

The knight on the other side must have known the strength of the plate armor, but he obviously didn't think about the way to rely on the armor to unload the force when he was attacked by a strong enemy, and his body stiffened when he raised the spear to exert force.

Maybe he thinks that if there is plate armor, he doesn't have to worry about defense, it's actually right in the battle formation, but when he is one-on-one with a master, he will suffer.

Luo Ming is not the kind of miscellaneous soldier who is stupid and hard to face and can't break his armor.

What he used was an extremely clever move in the way of the sword - the integration of body and sword, although he had not yet mastered it, it was enough to gather the strength of his whole body into a bundle, and the fighting spirit condensed into the power of real iron as clay, and as fast as the wind and thunder.

It is not at all surprising that such a blow pierces the plate armor head-on.
