Chapter 54: Sword Training
"My lord, I heard you right. Korodov suspected that something had gone wrong, and the lord had asked him to teach him how to be a knight himself!
"Because I've been thinking about it for a long time, the reason why those soldiers don't want to be trained by you is because your training methods need to be improved. ”
"Since you've been judging others by knightly standards, of course others aren't happy. So, I am willing to die as a lord, and you are the son of a peasant who knows nothing, and train me to be a warrior and then a knight in a full set of methods, and find ways to improve it!"
The three men watched him for a long time without speaking.
It seems that they are impressed by their wit, and they can not only improve their training methods on the surface, but also learn how to become knights quietly, killing two birds with one stone, I am really a genius!" the lord thought triumphantly.
At this time, Robert spoke their common thoughts on behalf of everyone.
"Boss, are you well fed and have nothing to do?"
Unexpectedly, the plan he had worked so hard to think of was treated like this, and Stannis was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
"I say, do you have any opinion on my plan?" he glanced at the three guys viciously.
"What the boss said is very true, I raise my hands in approval!" or Robert, who reacted quickly, was the first to change his position.
The rest of the people also nodded yes without principle.
Stannis nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, that's it, the old man is on vacation, the turnip is on guard, and the big man let's start in the afternoon." ”
Afternoon.
With the sound of the archers firing a volley not far away, Stannis and Korodov, dressed in knightly casual clothes, stood in the school grounds.
"So, sir, where do you want to start?" asked the chief knight first.
"Let's start with the basics of sword training. Stannis pulled out the sword he was carrying on his belt, yesterday's fight with the Dark Wizard had made him feel powerless, and if he had been able to fight, he might not have hurt Evelyn.
Although he wants to be a god of law who talks and laughs and the enemy is wiped out in smoke compared to a pure physical warrior who is tired of stinky sweat and can only be cannon fodder, but because there is no mage in the territory to teach, he can only choose swordsman as his first profession first.
However, Korodov on the other side looked confused.
"Sword practice, but your swordsmanship is better than mine!"
Stannis couldn't help but look sideways at himself, it turned out that the guy before was not only good at drinking and soaking girls, but his swordsmanship was even more powerful than this knight's chief, so he could be called a master.
"So you're stupid!" Stannis thought of what to do with him after just a moment's thought, "you're going to treat me like a new person who doesn't know anything now, so what is the first thing you want to teach me?"
"Practice swords. "Korodov really doesn't have a good brain.
Stannis snickered, "Let's get started, I'm ready for the challenge." ”
Ten minutes later.
He was already tired and almost paralyzed, he stood there panting with his sword, as an otaku, he didn't expect that wielding a sword was not as light and chic as in the animated movie, just holding this kind of three- or four-pound long sword flat and not moving, his shoulders would be dislocated from exhaustion, and he would be even more reluctant to dance it to cut people.
Just now he had only been practicing with Korodov for a while, and he was in a hurry, because the exertion of physical strength had made his breathing disorder, and in this extremely hypoxic situation, every swing of the sword was like using a thousand powers, and it was impossible to even simply defend against the attack from the opposite side.
"Phew, hoo, let me take a break. Exhausted, Stennis fell to the ground.
Korodov frowned, this amount of exercise was not even a warm-up, "My lord, are you ......?"
Stennis kept his chest heaving, "Whew, whew, haha, whew, look at my novice pretend......!
The big man shook his head, it was really hard to figure out the situation with his limited intelligence.
After half an hour of rest, Stannis relented.
"Why is it so tiring to swing a sword, it obviously feels very light?" he pinched the sword in his hand curiously, and he also deliberately picked a less heavy one.
"With all due respect, my lord, it is you who do not adjust your breathing. Korodov said.
Stannis understood what he was talking about, and it seemed that the art of breathing and breathing was a universal law in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.
"Then teach me, show all your housekeeping skills, and see if you can teach me this newcomer. "Although Stannis is telling the truth, he knows that no one in this world will believe him.
For example, the stupid big man in front of him, he thought that his lord was testing him.
"Oh. Korodov replied earnestly, and began to teach him how to maintain even breathing during the battle and distribute his physical strength appropriately.
Stannis began to swing his sword under his guidance, and sure enough, the lack of breath just now disappeared.
"Also, you used too many futile and physically demanding movements when you swung your sword again, relaxing your body and releasing all your power the moment you hit it. Korodov patiently corrected himself, apparently immersed in the role of coach.
However, his guidance was really useful, and after an hour of training, Stannis had roughly mastered the basic movements of slashing, stabbing, and slashing.
Now for further training.
"Hey, what swordsmanship moves do you have to teach me, you can't wield a sword as heavy as a stick and crush your opponent with brute force, right?" In his subconscious, he always thought that the medieval Western knight fighting style had no moves and skills to speak of.
Korodov was very puzzled by his question, "My lord, don't you remember that you learned the sword art of chopping, which is the most powerful and flexible sword art in the Western Continent, and it is a real fighting art. ”
[Chopping Swordsmanship] is a kind of popular court swordsmanship in the upper class of the Western Continent, it pays attention to is incomparably gorgeous, whether it is attack or defense in a circle, in the battle, always maintain the movement of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, relying on the center of gravity of the weapon and the way of attack to pierce into the enemy's skull, destroy the central nervous system, rather than relying on the power of the weapon itself to chop, as for why it is called swordsmanship instead of stabbing sword, there is no reasonable explanation.
"Ahh......h
"That kind of swordsmanship is too flashy, let's start with the most basic swordsmanship, don't you want to teach people like this?" he casually made an excuse and fooled over.
