Chapter 20 Troop Trial
The so-called testing ground is actually similar to a small arena, except that there are no auditoriums, and the weapons racks around it are filled with training weapons and armor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Miss Werther understood at a glance that the best way to test was to fight.
"Uncle Remingle, please take a training two-handed sword and fight me. ”
Armed with a battle axe in one hand and a short sword in Castia's left hand in the other, Salian was a weapon that was generally used for defense, and was able to block opponents' weapons well, and was seen as a shield that could be easily carried around, and was very popular in the Empire.
Although Remingle is old, he was also an elite soldier who followed two generations of masters to serve the country, and once he held the sword, he naturally showed a soldier's spirit.
Sure enough, after Remingle completed his equipment, he immediately attacked Salian with a swift charge footwork, and he couldn't tell that he was an old man at all. Although it is only the simplest offensive and defensive balance posture, the skills honed from the battlefield must not be underestimated.
The two-handed swords he used for training were no different from those used in war, except that they were not bladed. The lethality of this popular weapon of the empire was staggering, and Salian skillfully framed Remingle's attacks with a tomahawk and a short alternating sword in his left hand, and did not fight back, he was carefully confirming the weapon's performance. In this way, the two fought dozens of rounds at breakneck speed.
Under such an intensity of attack and defense, Salian turned his head to Miss Werther, who was watching the battle with a fan on the side, and said, "Estfaria, please pay attention to the mystery of this left-handed short sword!"
"Young master, it's taboo to be distracted and flirt with your sister during the battle!"
At this time, Remingle saw the opportunity to use a swift waist slash move to attack Salian's torso, and Salian turned around and swung his short sword to withstand the blow. At the moment when Remingle had not drawn his sword, the body of the short sword held by Salian in his left hand suddenly magically split into three, forming three independent blades, each with sharp and strong serrations on the inside, so Salian used the serrations of the short sword to tightly clamp the blade of the two-handed sword, Remingle was unable to pull it out at all, and it was obvious that Salian used a control-type horror secret technique. Then I saw Salian twist his left hand hard, and the sturdy two-handed sword was actually broken, and the fragments were scattered all over the ground.
Miss Werther, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, saw this scene and couldn't help but cover her cherry mouth with a fan and let out an exclamation.
Salian stroked his hair in a dashing manner, turned to Miss Witt with a slight forehead, and said, "Estfaria, what do you think of this short sword?"
Miss Witt applauded and smiled, saying, "The mechanism on the hilt of the sword can break the opponent's weapon by surprise, and I dare not imagine such a bloody scene if it were pierced into the enemy's body and then fired." ”
"Haha, if you want to use it this way, then you won't be afraid to see blood, dear Estherfaria, I'm not wrong. ”
"Oh, Count, please don't think of me as a cruel woman, it's too much to ruin my image!"
"I'm sorry about that, good Miss Werther, but no one here will say it. ”
Salian handed the dagger to Reminger, and said to him, "Uncle Reminger, please erase the original coat of arms from the dagger hand guard, and engrave the coat of arms of Miss Werther's house, as soon as possible." ”
He turned to Miss Witt and said, "You won't refuse me to give you this dagger as a gift for your defense, will you?"
"Oh, you're welcome! I liked this dagger at first sight. I'll treat it as a token of love. Haha, just kidding. Actually, Salian, after watching it for so long, I want to move too. You know that living in a mask every day can be hard at times, and sometimes you need to release some stress, and you haven't fully tested this tomahawk, have you?"
"Do you want to deign to be a rival to me, a martial artist?" asked Salian, surprised, who had only thought of Miss Werther as a clever vase.
At this moment, Miss Teresa, who seemed to have nothing to do with the whole incident just now, suddenly spoke.
"Salian, don't underestimate my good friend, Estfaria's true strength is no worse than mine. Although she may not be visible from the outside, she is actually a master of physical magic, especially proficient in rare telekinesis magic. At the same time, relying on this magic, she has become a rare puppeteer!"
"Hey, my little Teresa, did you wake up when you heard that you had the chance to see me fighting?"
"Because I rarely have the opportunity to see you shoot with my own eyes, I still want to find a way to crack your tricks!"
"Haha, then I'll satisfy you today. What about you, Your Excellency the Earl of the Borderlands, are you satisfied with having me as an adversary?" said Miss Witt a standard ladylike salute to Salian.
"Honor, dear Miss Werther. Salian also returned a very standard knightly salute, indicating that they were ready for a reciprocal battle. In Sali's peace of mind, he would not despise women, and since he was a child, he had seen many powerful female warriors who were no less powerful than men.
"Haha, young master, this is really a rare and good opportunity, I can fight against a telekinetic master, old man, I have followed the old man and the old man into battle countless times, and I have not encountered many such professions!"
"Estherfaria, Salian, I will open the magic net for you, so please fight in peace. Miss Teresa added that the female mage seemed to absolutely want to see them fight.
"To help you test your tomahawk, I'll attack you with a physics puppet, Sarian. ”
"Please, Estherfaria, I'm ready to start. ”
In the face of an unknown opponent, what kind of posture is actually about the same, Salian simply used the battle axe as a long sword and posed in the "fool's style" in the combination of attack and defense.
Miss Werther was still holding her fan, but she was already holding her breath. She understands that this is not a one-sided battle, as a hybrid class unique to the Empire, the Terror Knight has always been known as a mage killer and the nemesis of spellcasters, and she must not be careless.
She touched a jade ring on her tail finger, and a huge man-made machine nearly three meters tall suddenly appeared out of thin air on the ground of the training ground. The six-legged chassis is equipped with a humanoid upper body, a shell made of unknown materials, painted entirely in the iconic red and white paint of the Han Shea League, and the golden key crest of the Werther family is painted on the shoulders of the robotic arm.
"Whether it's a space ring or a magic puppet, it's a legendary thing to me, Estheralia, you've really opened the eyes of a country farmer today!"
The space ring is a subspace created by relying on the principle of space-time magic in the science and technology magic, and it is an extremely rare magic prop, which is generally made into an easy-to-carry style like a ring, of course, there are other forms.
Puppets are divided into control puppets and autonomous puppets, and Miss Witt has the former. This type of puppet only requires the user to remotely manipulate the core control module of the puppet with telekinesis, so that it can fight as freely as a doppelganger of the controller. The advantage is that there is no need for a complex self-discipline core module, nor does it need to install a high-sensitivity sensory system that is easily damaged, but its disadvantages are also obvious, the distance between the operator and the magic puppet should not be too long, and the telekinesis connection is easy to be interfered with by the outside world, and the user needs to control the whole process, otherwise it is a pile of scrap metal that cannot move.
"You've won the prize, and this spatial ring can only hold two magic puppets of this size. In order for a 'Raider MKII' to function properly, its magic power generator needs to consume fifty kilograms of pure energy magic crystals per hour. ”
"Oh yes, if this thing is only started for three or four days, I will go bankrupt, and all I will burn is gold coins!"
"Haha, this is my secret weapon, and I won't use it easily. ”
As they spoke, six mechanical feet slammed their massive bodies at Salion's astonishing speed, one of its mechanical arms holding a giant Imperial Stabbing Sword, the other holding a massive Thorn Shield. It started with the standard "rooftop" and threw a "fury" into the top of Salian's head. Although Salian flashed sideways, the greatsword was castrated, slamming heavily on the ground and splashing countless debris, Salian looked back to see a deep sword mark left on the hard ground. He thought to himself that relying on the power provided by the high-powered magic power generator, this strange thing might be more powerful than a Sword Master-level master. Before Salian could think about it, the machine unleashed round after round of attacks without stopping, one of its mechanical arms dancing with its giant sword, performing all sorts of slashing sword moves. The other uses the two spikes at the lower end of the shield to attack Salian, making it impossible to relate to its bulky appearance. Salian knew that it was Miss Witt who was fighting him, but it also aroused Salion's strong fighting spirit. He decided not to use the horror arcane arts, but to use the battle axe in his hand to compete with Miss Werther's three-meter-tall steel avatar.
I saw Salian shout, "It's good!", and deftly leaned down to dodge another double attack of the "Raider MKII", and then slashed at one of its supporting legs with the side of the axe blade of the battle axe, and sparks flew in an instant, but this powerful blow only left a shallow dent in this leg, and did not form substantial damage. Without hesitation, Salian Howe immediately changed his move and used the other side of the tomahawk, the armor-piercing cone, to attack the mid-abdomen of the "Raider MKII", and Salian's senses noticed that the magic fluctuations in its mid-abdomen were the strongest. This had a good effect, and the powerful impact caused a crack in the armor of the puppet's mid-abdomen, and the machine hurriedly used two mechanical arms to protect its mid-abdomen. Salian understood, it turned out that this was its Achilles' heel, and maybe the core control module was placed in it. Now that he has discovered the breakthrough, this thing is vulnerable.
"Haha, please don't do it again, Salian, I throw in the towel. This magic puppet is really not complete enough, but fortunately, I have found many deficiencies through this battle, and I will continue to improve it after I go back. In order not to affect my telekinesis control, the armor that protects the control module can't be too thick, it's really a problem, how to solve it?"
"Have I become a sparring partner instead? Clever Estfaria, you are so good at your calculations!"
Miss Witte covered her cheeks with a fan again.
"In fact, you can easily interfere with the guidance of my telekinesis magic as long as you use the world-famous terrifying secret arts, so I have no ability to resist at all!"
"Hahaha, how could I be willing to give up such a rare opportunity to fight the magic puppet? and thank you for spending so much time to test this battle axe, the effect is very good! But the most memorable thing for me is your breathtaking martial arts, I don't think this magic puppet will automatically make such beautiful movements. ”
Miss Werther had to pick up the fan again.
"Please stop complimenting me, Count. I'm really flattered to be praised by the empire's well-known weapon masters, these carving insect skills were actually given to me by the martial arts instructor invited by my father, and I don't know if it's strong or not!"
"Please rest assured, your father's money was not spent in vain, and it can be seen that the hired master is indeed a top master, and the tricks you use are all standard Imperial Sword God Flow. ”
"According to herself, she said that she was a disciple of one of the Thirteen Sword Saints, but I haven't heard of the Imperial Sword God Flow or anything!"
"Haha, then you and I can be said to be the same family, my great-grandfather was not very talented in horror and secret arts, so he learned swordsmanship and other martial arts under Richard Chartnell, and created a tradition in my family that attaches importance to both horror and martial arts. Because Richard Nar, the master of the Empire's swordsmanship, was revered as the Sword God after his death, our school is known as the Imperial Sword God Stream. He had a total of thirteen disciples in his life and finally became Sword Saints, so there is such a thing as Thirteen Sword Saints. ”
"Oh, I see! It seems that my master is not small, but I have never heard her say anything about the origin of our school, and I thought she was here to cheat money. ”
"My great-grandfather is also one of the Thirteen Sword Saints, but you have never heard of his name, and I guess the same is true of your master's faction. ”
"Oh, I know so many secrets today, it seems that I have to ask the master when I go back. ”
As the group left the proving ground, Salian handed the tomahawk to Remingle.
"Uncle, this tomahawk is very good, and it can be used for final processing. ”
In the end, everyone was satisfied, Remingle had the answer, Salian gained experience, Miss Witt cleared her mind, and Miss Teresa knew her friend better.
