Chapter 55: Reward 5
The two-handed sword is very similar in appearance to the cross sword.
However, the blade is wider and much longer than a regular crosssword.
This type of sword is more suitable for slashing than a cross sword, but it is slightly less flexible than a one-handed cross sword.
Ron gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands, swung it twice in a standard position, and after feeling the weight of the two-handed sword slightly, he pulled out the other two-handed sword from the weapon rack.
He held two two-handed swords in one hand and slowly walked to the middle of the room.
Taking a light breath, Ron's expression froze, and the two two-handed swords exploded like a raging wind.
The blades of the wielded swords were connected, and a vague shadow almost formed around him as the center.
In Ron's thoughts, since the light cross sword could not add much power to his swordsmanship due to his agility, he directly replaced it with a relatively heavy two-handed sword that was more conducive to slashing to show his strength advantage.
Although this style of combat may lose some flexibility, it may be easier to suppress it with pure strength.
'Shh
The sound of the blade slicing through the air continued to be heard, causing the candles hanging on the walls to flicker.
It took a while for the frenzied attack to slow down.
'Whew'
Ron kicked slightly, his loose clothes covered in damp sweat.
He looked down at the two-handed sword he was holding, a look of exhaustion flashing in his eyes.
"The increase in weight also represents an excessive burden on physical strength, and with my current physical fitness, if I burst out, it will only last for five minutes. ”
Five minutes, compared to the chaotic battlefield, is simply a blink of an eye.
However, even if it lasted for a short time, it doesn't mean that Ron's thinking is wrong.
Dual-sword swordsmanship was originally a strong fighting method, whether it was a solitary battle or a chaotic fight, it could ensure an absolute advantage.
The reason why Ron felt overloaded now was because today was the first time he had replaced his two-handed sword with his original cross sword, and he hadn't fully adapted to it.
And with his current strength, it is not enough to treat this way of fighting as a regular means, so he will be tired.
However, both of these problems can be solved well over time when it comes to its own agile shortcomings.
After flicking the two two-handed swords, making two large circular marks in the air, Ron inserted the two swords back into the weapon rack.
"Since it can't be used as a regular way of fighting for the time being, then, I can use one to fight in normal times, after all, the current two-handed sword is more suitable for me than the cross sword."
In order to reach the standard of strength with the dual swords as soon as possible, in addition to effective training methods, the only thing Ron knows now is the mysterious item called the 'Demon Creature Meat Block'.
And this piece of meat is obviously not so easy to get.
"In addition to the simple material welfare, there must be other things in joining the Best's regular army, I remember hearing people say when I was in the training camp that in addition to the daily training in the army, there is also a unified army swordsmanship, I don't know, what is the difference between that kind of swordsmanship and basic swordsmanship. ”
Ron himself didn't know much about the swordsmanship of this world, and most of the enemies he had encountered so far had no distinctive features in their attacks.
Basically, they use their strong physical fitness, plus their own combat experience to train their combat skills, or combat instincts.
Even the apprentice knights I've seen in the realm are pretty much the same.
Therefore, Ron is still very curious about the army swordsmanship, which is more advanced than the basic swordsmanship......
Five days later.
In a pitch-black coniferous forest, the white morning light shines through the cracks in the trees.
Beneath the pitch-black trunk was a small patch of hoarfrost, and the dry and cold wind blew the branches with a soft 'swish' sound.
In the quiet of the woods, suddenly a slight 'crunch' of a bowstring being pulled apart came from somewhere.
'Smack!!'
A black arrow burst out, and then slammed into a thick tree trunk.
On top of the arrow, there was a rabbit-like creature, and at this time, the little guy who was shot through the neck was not completely dead, his body twitched slightly, and a wisp of red blood flowed down the arrow to the ground.
'Whoa'.
A tall figure slowly stepped out of the bushes, black boots making a 'click, click' sound as it stepped on the leaves.
The figure walked up to the trunk of the tree, reached out and plucked the prey from the arrow, and hung it casually around his waist.
In the dim morning light, the figure could be seen wearing a gray cloak, and the heavy silver armor loomed from underneath the cloak.
On the figure's head, he wears a hideous helmet that seems to be full of sharp teeth.
Pulling the visor from his helmet, Ron scanned the woods, saddled the short bow on his back, and followed the path he had just taken back.
Ten minutes later.
In a makeshift camp that had been cleared out, Ron's figure stepped out of the woods on one side.
Bakar and Rust, who were sitting around a campfire, saw him and immediately waved him over.
Walking over to the campfire, Ron glanced at the black iron pot placed on it, wisps of incense coming from it.
"Hey, looks like we could add a roast bunny to our breakfast. Bakar, who saw the prey on Ron's waist, grinned happily.
"If you hit it on the way, if you want to eat it, you can handle it yourself. ”
Throwing the rabbit in front of Bakar, Ron sat down directly on the ground, removed the iron gloves from his hands and began to start a fire.
Picking up the rabbit that was still warm, Bakar laughed twice and took out a small dagger and quickly skinned it.
Rust on one side threw a few sticks of dry wood into the campfire and looked at Ron, who was baking the fire.
"Still haven't found anything?"
"Nope. Ron looked up. "I guess it's going to take a while for them to get here. ”
"Well, I hope you're not mistaken. Rust said calmly. "Okay, you guys eat first, I'll come back in three hours, and if I find anything, I'll let you know in time." ”
With that, he stood up, put a two-meter-long spear on his back, and then gathered the cloak on his body and walked quickly into the woods.
Watching Rust's back as he left, Ron looked at the food on the top of the pot that wasn't fully cooked, and said to Bakar next to him.
"Call me when it's cooked, I'll take a nap first. ”
"Sleep, I'll watch. ”
Bakar didn't reply, he was now threading the processed rabbit on an iron rod and carefully applying some brown powder to it.
Shaking his head, Ron got up and walked over to the tent by the campfire, leaning against it and squinting his eyes.
The reason why the three of them are here is because of the second test issued by the Skar Knight two days ago, about the advance force of the Lane Empire.
Originally, they thought that the second test would be similar to the first battle, but according to the information obtained by the Pfister Line, the advance troops of the Nalane Empire did not know why they dispersed in small teams before entering the Best territory.
So far, their test mission has also received many changes.
Assemble your own teams and spread out around the area of the Pfister Line to snipe scattered advance squads and investigate the reasons and purpose for their dispersion.
And the three of Ron were arranged in this taiga.
The others didn't know about Ron, but so far, they hadn't encountered any of Ryan's soldiers, except for the occasional large beast.
The advance team of 500 people seemed to be deliberately bypassing this area. I don't know how long it took.
In a slight light sleep, the aroma of roast rabbit meat wakes Ron up.
He opened his eyes and saw that Bakar was turning the iron rod in his hand, and from time to time he reached out and tore off a piece of golden rabbit meat and put it in his mouth.
The iron pot on the campfire in front of him had been removed, and two black iron bowls were filled with boiled broth.
As if sensing Ron's awakening, Bakar took the rabbit off and placed it on a plate, sprinkling it with red spices.
"It's just right, it's just ripe, come over and eat it while it's hot. ”
Hearing his greeting, Ron stood up and looked up at the sky that had become brighter.
"How long have I been asleep?"
"Half an hour. Bakar was uncertain. "It didn't last long anyway. ”
Without speaking, Ron nodded and walked over to the campfire, picked up a black bowl, and took a sip of the broth inside, warming up his slightly cold body.
After eating a few more pieces of rabbit meat, he took the white scales from his chest.
The crystal slender snake scales have a faint warm feeling in the hand, and there is nothing special about it.
According to Raste, his scales can be used as a one-time teleportation tool, in addition to allowing him to sense his location.
If one scale is damaged, the other two scales will also be shattered.
They had agreed beforehand that if they found anything unusual, they would crush the scales.
Now that the scales are intact, it looks like there's nothing wrong with Rust's side.
After a pause, he put away his scales and looked at Bakar, who was eating rabbit meat across from him.
"Let's talk about the topic last time, how did the demonized creatures you mentioned last time appear, and why did they become military supplies?"
During this time, Ron would discuss his curiosity with Bakar when he had nothing to do, and at the same time, he would gradually learn more about the world while increasing his knowledge.
Hearing Ron speak, Bakar put down the piece of meat in his hand and looked up.
"I don't know the exact reason for the appearance of demonic creatures, but some people say that they are natural products like beasts, and there are also rumors that they are experimental creatures left behind by legendary wizards, or simply magical creatures from other worlds."
