Chapter 84: The Way of the Sword
Not to mention Charion, who lost his temper after ruthlessly solving one brother, who wanted to clean up the other but didn't find it.
Don't say that the "wise man" Charando, who can slip as far as he can.
Let's turn our attention back to the frontal battlefield of the siege, which is not all smooth sailing.
If it was an ordinary siege battle, when a strong man of the level of Luo Ming and Grant led some soldiers to the city wall, the next resistance could only delay a little time.
Although the castle was built with consideration given to how the enemy would deal with it after gaining a foothold at the head of the city, Luo Ming's erection of the red and white sword cross flag itself was a serious blow to the morale of the defenders.
Luo Ming suddenly remembered a saying he had heard before: in ancient wars, the real death in a head-on confrontation was probably one-tenth, and the rest of the casualties occurred when one of the parties was defeated and pursued by the enemy.
Even 30,000 pigs are sometimes not as easy to kill as 30,000 routers, who throw away their armor, expose their fragile backs, and even kill their companions in order to escape for their way.
Now the enemy's defenders are probably still a little far from this level, but they won't last long.
Although soldiers are generally not severely punished in this kind of civil war, if the besieging side is extremely difficult to fight and the losses are huge before breaking the city, the soldiers who say that they cannot defend the city will be angered and severely punished.
Fighting to the death for the side that looks like it's about to lose, and being treated harshly after defeat, is something that ordinary soldiers can't do.
However, the mercenaries did not do well, and they took the initiative to help stabilize the front - if they were defeated, they would definitely not be treated well.
Even the most lenient treatment is not paid and you have to pay a huge fine, and if you are unlucky, you will have to kill them all or sell them to slave traders.
If their side wins, they can get a large bounty from their employer, and even part of the land - who doesn't want a good home for the old mercenaries who have been wandering all their lives?
But there are no swordsmen among these mercenaries, and in front of Luo Ming and Granty, they can't hold up much time.
In order to deal with the possible ambush of the cultists in the future, Lormine and Grant began to consciously conserve their strength, otherwise these mercenaries would definitely have suffered heavy casualties by now.
Although he didn't gnaw on the stubble anymore, Luo Ming still swung his sword at the miscellaneous soldiers in the spirit of being able to earn a little bit.
In the process, he vaguely felt that the diaphragm leading to the sword master had faded a little.
This is the way of the sword, the way of fighting. How many swordsmen and swordsmen are blown out, only those who have dozens or hundreds of blades on the battlefield will never be questioned.
The second master is a perfect sword saint who shakes the past and the present, and is known as the perfect sword saint who leads to the heavens.
With the convenience of the information age, she was able to collect thousands of swordsmanship from all over the world in ten years, refine the essence one by one, and then give birth to her own extraordinary swordsmanship.
Just dancing the sword made countless challengers look dull, and even some were ashamed that they would never be able to catch up, and they folded their swords to return to the hermit.
However, a few people know that the peaceful era when knives and guns were put into storage and horses were put in Nanshan was also a big shackle that bound her.
The sword, which was originally a murder weapon, progressed between life and death.
Even the Sword of Mercy aims to cut the enemy to the point where he loses the ability to resist, and it is inevitable to cut off his hands and feet. However, in those days, where did she go to find so many enemies to test her sword?
Even if you go to some chaotic areas, there are many battles...... She can confront several, a dozen, or even hundreds of fighters with guns, so what?
Not to mention how much effect a warrior can have from practicing swords with these hot weapons.
Mines, self-explosions, bombs, rockets, missiles, poison gas, even with the ability to perceive dangers in the realm of foreknowledge, are terrifying every step of the way...... That world, where there is no Dao to manifest sainthood, is destined to suppress the progress of all cold weapons.
The second master often swung his sword at branches, birds, and even waterfalls and rocks. The river will not be able to cut off or let the fallen flowers return to their branches.
It was a beautiful scene, but the master often made a sighing sound. Now Luo Ming finally understands what he is sighing about.
A peerless divine sword that can ascend to the altar to worship generals, step on thousands of armies, start a sect, and even make the world a vegetarian on impulse is born in the modern age of the earth, and it can only be reduced to a narrow indoor ornament.
The second master herself is actually a bit like a perfect classical woman, open-minded and elegant. Just by admiring the moon and flowers, drinking and dancing swords, you can almost live happily, but what about Luo Ming?
If he hadn't reached this world, on the original earth, with his extraordinary talent, in a few decades, he would definitely be able to reach the realm of killing ten people in one step.
At that time, can he really endure it? Luo Ming didn't know the answer, but he knew one thing very well, if he was allowed to return to Earth now, he would have to use more than ten times his self-control to control himself, so that he would not casually violate the ban by force.
Now, since he has come to this unpeaceful world, there are still all kinds of supernatural powers of Dou Qi and Cang Yan...... Isn't this a wonderful opportunity from God?
God doesn't take it, but suffers the blame!
Even if it is to make up for the regret that Master cannot come to such a world, we must firmly seize this opportunity.
Although Luo Ming is not a simple swordsman, he does not intend to be a lonely swordsman forever, and often plans with Aya in his mind how to establish a system, expand his territory, and increase productivity...... However, kendo is an extremely intensive sect of martial arts, and it is perfect for personal fighting. In the future, it can be taught to disciples and subordinates, and powerful elite troops can also be built.
Luo Ming has been practicing swords for more than ten years under the guidance of a peerless master in the world, and this accumulation is not insignificant, but it lacks actual combat - fighting with a bamboo sword, no matter how realistic it is, there is still some distance from the feeling of truly tearing the flesh.
Now, this shortcoming is gradually being filled.
Gradually, the murderous aura that lurked in the swordsmanship surfaced.
No matter how beautiful the sword move, it is necessary to drink blood. When Luo Ming experienced the long sword in his hand again in practice, progress appeared.
Unhurried, he walked leisurely, leapfrogging the loose formation of the soldiers and coming to the mercenaries.
"Die!"
The massive mercenary raised his long-handled page hammer and swept towards him. The mercenaries around him also wielded heavy weapons to block the space where Luo Ming was hiding.
The mercenary himself had already shown a look of death, and under the impulse of mixed anger and fear, he had forgotten his instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, even if Luo Ming took the head of someone with his sword, the page hammer would drag this enemy into hell under the effect of inertia.
