Chapter 20: The Guardian Knights and the Judgment Knights

"Let's talk about attachment and sacrifice, and we'll talk about these two together. I'll give you a scenario, and you tell me what to do. Thompson said, "What would you do if you were defending a city and there were irresistible forces around you to encircle you?"

Blake said excitedly: "Desperately resist!

Thompson smiled helplessly, almost every new knight answered this question whenever he was asked.

Genosis Meditations: (Attachment and Sacrifice...... )

After a while, Genosis replied, "If it were me, I would do the same, and first confess to the people of the city to surrender." Then take all the knights under his command and rush out to kill the enemy until he dies. ”

Thompson was finally glad to hear a decent answer.

"Tell me why you're doing this. ”

Genosis sighed and said, "The eight basic rules of knighthood, bravery, justice, honesty, glory, modesty, perseverance, sacrifice, and mercy. The reason why I confessed to the rest of the city to surrender is because they are not knights, and there is no need to cling to the glory of knights, which is also a mercy for the people, and it is also a heroism and perseverance as a knight. ”

Thompson calmly asked, "It's basically exactly right, but it's still a little wrong." ”

"What's wrong?" said Geneosis's face turned strange.

"What if the enemy is a demon and does not accept surrender and wants to kill the whole city? ”

Genosis gasped, "Does this count as a bull's horn?"

Thompson smirked, "No. Historically, the demons have massacred us. Even if the demons have been wiped out, this hatred is still not allowed to be forgotten. ”

"It's just that hatred itself is not a virtue, and our hatred of the demon race is just a dedication to justice. ”

Genosis was relieved. After listening to Thompson's words, Genossis seemed to be relieved. Blake, on the other hand, listened to the two in confusion, and for him, their conversation was almost incomprehensible.

"So, do you have a complete understanding of the eight basic rules of the knights?" Thompson seemed to ask only Generos.

"Hmm. Genosis nodded. Blake looked embarrassed: "Why don't you ask me?"

Thompson smiled: "I asked you at the beginning, and your answer is the same as that of most recruit knights, so at the beginning, you have no direction, and you have to find and answer by yourself in your future cultivation." ”

"Then Genosis has a direction?" Blake seemed a little unconvinced.

Thompson laughed for a moment and said, "Let's just say that. Okay, you come here every night to go to class, you don't have to practice like them, but only in the evening, and you have to continue the morning drills, and when you're done with the basics, you go back to practice in the evening. ”

..................

"You've basically finished the lessons you want to make, so tomorrow night, you two will follow them to practice. Thompson breathed a sigh of relief and said.

It took the two of them two weeks of evening to learn what others had learned for four or five months. Of course, Thompson picked the key points and jumped to talk about them, and some irrelevant ones were not said. What is important?knightly etiquette, the basic use of magic, the use of magic in knightly combat. Spiritual aperture and spiritual rune guidance, etc.

The two nodded.

Time flies. Soon it was the next night.

In the evening, the two followed everyone to the rooftop. The typhoon at night was still a bit big. The sky was clear, and I could see the many stars in the sky at will. While the two of them were marveling at how beautiful the starry sky was, Field asked, "What are you two doing?" No, you two have finished your lessons?"

Genosis nodded, and performed a standard chivalric salute: stand upright, left hand straight, right elbow bent, right fist clenched, in front of the heart, palm down, fist tapped twice on the chest.

"Report sir, it's done. ”

"Well, I want to see it...... Assemble!"

Everyone was exercising, but when they heard the sound of assembly, they hurriedly ran over. One team on the left and one on the left.

"Ring, ring, ring, ......!" there was a crash of armor as everyone ran over to assemble.

The two of them were surprised at why they were both wearing armor. The armor of the two teams is different, and it is obvious that the first team is thicker and the other team is lighter.

"Now that you've finished your lessons, tell me what they're doing. Field asked with a blank face.

"Light-armored judge knights, heavy-armored guardian knights. Blake replied quickly.

"So, you each choose one of the queues to join. ”

To Field's disappointment, Genosis ran into the queue of the heavily armored guardian knights without even thinking about it, and Blake also ran to the queue of the light-armored trial knights without thinking about it.

Virtis had secretly returned once these days, and he said, "According to their character, Genosis is very similar to my second brother, and he will definitely choose the guardian knight, and Blake will definitely choose the judge knight because he has an obsession in his heart." But, it's a bit of a pity, Geneross is more talented, and I would prefer Geneross to choose the Knight of Judgment. Don't interfere with what they choose, though. Once this kind of thing is intervened, it is difficult to learn it by heart. ”

Field asked the two squad leaders to take each of them to put on training armor.

The difference between light armor and heavy armor is that the scale armor coverage ratio of light armor is less than 40%, and the rest of the parts are chain armor, while the scale armor coverage ratio of heavy armor is as high as 60%, and the scale armor in the heavy armor is thicker and heavier than the scale armor of light armor in the conventional system.

As for the plate armor...... Because the cost is too high and cumbersome, no one in the lower knights will use this kind of thing.

The Knights of Judgment mainly attack by force, and there are many choices of weapons, including sabers (two-handed swords), knight spears, knight swords, etc. The guardian knight is mainly for defense and protection, and is mainly used in standard knight short sword, knight shield, and knight double sword.

A regular Judge Knight is equipped like this: light armor, a knight's sword, a sabre, a knight's spear, and if you choose a knight's gun, it is equipped with a relatively light Judge Knight's standard light shield.

The regular configuration of the guardian knight is as follows: heavy armor, knight short sword, knight shield, and knight double sword.

Genosis didn't have a superfluous choice. And Blake chose the knight's gun.

In the beginner apprentice knight training class, it is usually a trial knight to attack a guardian knight. One to one against the other. In this way, it can be semi-simulated in real combat.

However, Blake soon discovered that these standard armors were real armor, but the weapons were fake, or rather, a weapon that was mostly iron but the key part that could cause damage was wood: for example, his knight's spear, the tip of which was made of wood, was blunt, and could not stab people at all. I took a closer look at the other weapons, and the blades were all wood.

Of course, avoiding accidental injuries is one thing, reducing armor wear and tear is also a reason.

Ordinary iron and wood collide, and it must be wood that is broken. And these wooden "sharp blades" can be disassembled and replaced. This significantly reduces the cost of training knights.

Under the guidance of the other students, the two of them clumsily put on ill-fitting armor. This is because most of them are teenagers and their bodies cannot be uniform. Then everyone went to training with their partners.

And Genoss's partner is naturally Blake, a judge knight, a guardian knight, and there is just no need to arrange additional personnel to train.

The other students had already started to practice, but Generosis and Blake, who didn't understand anything, could only stand aside and ask Field to teach.

Field said, "Come, put down your weapon first, and see what I do." ”

Genosis and Blake put down their weapons, watched Field's movements, and asked strangely, "Instructor, isn't what you're teaching now the infantry's horse rejection?"

Horse rejection refers to the form of infantry that is generally used to resist cavalry.

Field suddenly asked solemnly, "What are we?"

Genosis and Blake gave a knightly salute and said directly, "We are soldiers. ”

Soldiers have to obey orders, so quickly forget about it.

"We're knights," Field explained, "but we can't use our mounts a lot of the time, so wouldn't we fight without them?"

The two of them carefully studied the movements and essentials of rejecting the horse. Later, the two of them understood: the infantry can use the horse rejection step to obtain a larger force that can compete with the enemy cavalry, although it is not a complete confront, but it can simply contend with a horse and a person in the place, so it is more than enough to use it to contend with a single person in the locality.

Of course, if the other party also uses the rejection step, it depends on whose own strength level is higher.

Why put down their weapons? At first, the strength of the two was not so great at all, and it was enough to choke on the horse in a suit of armor.

The action of rejecting the horse step, generally use the left foot as the weight-bearing foot, the two feet are slightly bent, the right foot is in front, the right foot is facing the front, the heel of the left foot is in a straight line with the buttocks, the head is in a straight line, the right foot is about two soles away from the back heel, and the angle of the straight line between the left sole and the right foot is about 30 degrees to 45 degrees.

This action can generally only be used defensively, with force back and forth, and one-handed weapons to attack. Two-handed weapons cannot be used.

Two-handed weapons, such as the Horse Chopper, require a different step.

And it was enough for the two of them to learn to resist the horse at the beginning.

"It's important to note that the center of gravity is entirely on the weight-bearing foot, and this rejection step requires not only the weight-bearing of the left foot, but also the weight-bearing of the right foot," said Field. The non-weight-bearing feet are free, and you can change your feet at any time. ”

"And you see. As soon as I push you hard, your load-bearing foot is slightly straightened by the bend, then it can resist the thrust, and when I pull you hard, it is your non-load-bearing foot that is slightly straightened by the bend to resist the pull. This is the force that is directly ahead. ”

"Only by standing firm can we compete with the enemy, and if we are knocked down, we will lose the opportunity to fight back and attack. Think about it, when you are down, you can't attack with a weapon at all. ”

After the two learned to move, Field asked Genosis to take the shield and Blake to take the standard knight's sword, which rested on the shield, to compete with each other, and felt the change in the strength of the thighs and calves.

Looking at the slightly awkward movements of the two, Field smiled, as if he saw Thompson and himself many years ago.
