Chapter Thirty-Seven: A Difficult Encounter, Doomed Failure

The first standard swordsmanship of the Steel Corps pays attention to the concise and standardized movements, because it is a standard swordsmanship specially tailored for the heavy infantry of the empire, so this kind of swordsmanship also has the corresponding strong characteristics. It does not aim at advancing and attacking, but mainly relies on step-by-step defensive counterattacks to achieve the role www.biquge.info of a late striker. Therefore, this set of swordsmanship also has the name of turtle shell swordsmanship.

Of course, this doesn't mean that this set of swordsmanship is any kind of garbage. In fact, on the contrary, among the basic swordsmanship of various countries and races, this set of standard swordsmanship can almost be regarded as a top-ranked existence. Its robustness and balance, as well as its excellent melee defense, make this sword technique suitable for almost any situation and any enemy. It is precisely for this reason that the Iron Corps in the early days of the empire was able to firmly guard the borders of the empire with that kind of near-miraculous combat effectiveness, so that those alien races could not step into the territory of the empire for hundreds of years.

However, with the corruption within the empire, this militaristic weapon has slowly spread. To this day, a hairy boy like Lian Yan can get such a complete swordsmanship information from the hands of a merchant. It can also be seen from this that the empire has fallen to a certain extent.

However, the decline is the decline, which does not mean that this set of swordsmanship will also be discounted. In fact, it will only become more popular and famous, which can be seen from the fact that Qiong can guess that Hiko is using this set of swordsmanship just by looking at a sword-holding position. Of course, it is precisely because of this reason that the dome can see that Hiko's movements have been out of shape.

As a set of defensive and counter-attacking swordsmanship, the Iron Corps standard swordsmanship requires the user's sword movement to always be centered on the movement of the elbow joint, rather than the wrist movement as the core of those flexible swordsmanship. At the same time, if you can, it is always better to hold a sword in both hands and not in one hand.

In this way, both in the confrontation against melee combat, as well as in the consumption of physical strength, it can occupy a certain advantage. It may seem clumsy, but it is extremely efficient. If a set of half-body armor is attached, a skilled user can even resist two or three enemies at the same time with this clumsy swordplay.

And now, Yan seems to have completely violated the basic requirements of this set of swordsmanship. When maintaining a defensive stance, he not only did not hold the sword with both hands, but also held the sword body on the center of gravity of his body. Instead, he held the hilt of the sword in one hand while the tip of the wooden sword was pressed against the ground, forming an almost completely undefended stance.

This made Dome frown, and at the same time, he couldn't help but ask him questions. But in response to this question, Hiko just smiled and said.

"I won't bother you, Your Highness the Princess. You're still thinking about how to beat me. ”

"Hmph, laugh, I'll see if you'll be able to laugh later. ”

As soon as he saw Hiko's hippie smiling face, Qiong felt angry. She no longer cared about Hiko's strange posture, but bowed down and rushed towards Hikoki like a cheetah.

The sensitive speed made her movements fast and full of strength, although it was just a simple wooden sword, but under her movements, it was already the wind howling, which made people feel frightened in their hearts.

The fierceness and swiftness of avalanche swordsmanship can be said to be vividly exerted on the body of the firmament, even those samurai who have been immersed in it for more than ten years cannot be said to perform better than her. Looking at the dome attacking like this, Hiko did not advance but retreated, and while the whole person was facing the dome, the center of gravity of his body was also changing, and he shifted towards the position where the wooden sword was standing. And when his body crossed the blade of the sword and completely let the wooden sword standing forward behind him, his whole body began to spin.

His body crossed the vault at a distance of almost millimeters, and the wooden sword drew a large arc with his movements, circled the back of the vault, and slashed at her vest. Seeing that this abrupt attack was about to take effect, Dome turned around as fast as he could, and at the same time raised his wooden sword to parry the blow.

In the contest of strength, Hiko couldn't even have any advantage over the dome. So with just a sudden force, the unstable center of gravity of Hiko's body bounced out of the way. And after neutralizing Hiko's assault in this way, Dome immediately frowned and asked him.

"You're not the standard swordsmanship of the Iron Corps? Not even Nord's swordsmanship? What the hell is this?"

"I don't know!" Hiko explained to her with a smile as he shrugged his shoulders. "It's just a trick I've seen in a big coastal city, and I remember it was an ash elf bullying a bunch of idiot guards. I looked a little interesting, so I wrote it down, but I didn't expect it to be useful today. Seriously, I was surprised. ”

"The sword dance of the ash elves, I didn't expect you to have this kind of talent, but do you think you can beat me with this fancy swordsmanship?" Biting his lip, Qiong Qiong tightened his grip on the wooden sword in his hand with burning eyes, and approached Hiko step by step. "I'll show you how wrong you really are. ”

"Wait, wait. Can you not get so close? I'm a little scared, I mean really. Hiko, seeing the dome approaching step by step, said cautiously as he stepped back. "I said that's pretty much it. Do we really need to fight you to the death? If you are not satisfied with anything, can I admit defeat?"

"Admit defeat?" Eyes snapped, and Dome grinned and sneered. "The Nords never admit defeat. So instead of making you throw in the towel, win this battle without force. I wish you were a little stronger, and I would have been knocked unconscious. At the very least, it will make you lose with more dignity. ”

"What kind of dignity is this? Also, can you casually make such an assertion? ”

Yan Gang wanted to complain about the previous two sentences, but at this moment, the dome had already swung his wooden sword and cut off Yan Dang's head. At this time, the distance between the two people is already very close. Trying to dodge is obviously not a very realistic problem. So Hiko could only set up the wooden sword and make a blocking pose.

And when the heavy blow of the dome fell heavily as he had predicted, even though he was fully prepared, he couldn't help but be stumbled by this heavy force. He began to retreat unsteadily, and the Dome pressed on, slashing at him with another sword.

Like a real avalanche, each swing of the Dome seemed to do its best. Unlike most hard-fought results, the Dome always recovers quickly after bursting with its power, and launches an equally violent attack on the next breath.

Again and again, every collision made Hiko feel miserable. He didn't know what state the Dome was in now, but he knew exactly where he was now. He was already weak, and he had reached the limit in this continuous high-intensity confrontation, and both his muscles and heart were almost overloaded. It is even said that his tiger mouth is almost out of instinct, and even the sword is about to be unstable.

However, compared to his current situation, Hiko is more concerned about another issue. That's why the Dome was able to attack in such a violent way. You must know that the role of force is mutual, and even as the main contributor, her consumption is greater. But why, she can still keep fighting so consistently.

stared at the girl in front of him, carefully observing his every demeanor and every movement. Hiko finally discovers the mystery in the impact after impact.

It's not about will, it's just about skill. At the moment of each onslaught, the Dome will make a slightly retracted pose after the eruption. This allowed her to regain her new strength in a near-lossless manner with the shock of the twin sword strikes, and it was because of this skill that she was able to re-attack again and again.

Moreover, Hikoko also discovers that she seems to have some special way of breathing to regain her physical strength. Every time she swung her sword, she subconsciously made a long breathing movement, and then when she exploded, it was a completely different breathing movement.

There is good reason for Hiko to believe that this is no accident. Because it is very difficult to change a person's breathing habits. If it is said that this change is simply not possible without special training and training.

Although he has seen through the mystery, it is almost impossible to change his current predicament. There is no way to crack it, on the one hand, and on the other hand, the physical strength that is almost exhausted. Yan knows very well that he can't hold out a few times, so whether he wins or loses, in fact, he will only fight in the next few encounters.

If there are no surprises, then Hiko is almost a loser. Just like his father and the girl on the other side thought, he would lose cleanly, and then he would be beaten to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen. It's a matter of course. After all, on the opposite side is a well-developed Nord girl who is born with an absolute advantage. And she is also Her Royal Highness the princess who has received various elite education since she was a child, and to be honest, there is really no shame in losing to such a winner in life.

However, for this result, Hiko did not want to accept it at all. He never liked to accept the established reality, otherwise he would not be standing in this place. Therefore, he decided to do his best to make the last effort.

As long as he can challenge this result that has already been determined, then whether he wins or loses, and what the result will be, he can not care. Because he just wants to use his actions to show that his future will always be in his own hands. He is the future master of himself, not someone else, never.
