041: Through the Blizzard!
The howling wind carried the cascading snow all over the sky, as if the enraged God was about to destroy everything in the world, and the howling mountain wind blew the pine trees that were like snow drowning in the sky. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The red-haired squirrel clenched its two front teeth with its eyes closed, and its small paws clung to the trunk of the tree, while its tiny body had long been swept into the air by the wind, fluttering up and down in the wind.
"Click~"
Finally, the slender trunk of the tree was still no match for the ravages of the wind, and with a crisp sound, the red-haired squirrel was swept into the wind...
Just as the red-haired squirrel was desperately about to leave some last words for the world, a strong hand suddenly reached into the wind and snow and grasped it steadily.
"Poor little one, I will take you to a safe place and sleep in peace. Stroking his palm back and forth over the red-haired squirrel's body a few times, calming its emotions, Kane lowered the creature into the warm cloak on his chest.
Then he turned his head and shouted to the back, "Everyone follow closely, take care of your teammates, and check your teammates every 10 seconds!"
Behind him were two neatly lined columns of soldiers, moving slowly in the midst of the blizzard, maintaining a consistent distance from the left and right, the front and the back.
"Yes, sir!" the sonorous voice seemed to drown out the howling and howling of the wind.
In the face of the snowstorm, this small but energetic team walked slowly, one step at a time over the knee-high layer of snow, leaving a long trail in the vast ice field, which was soon buried by the falling wind and snow.
......
The wind and snow, which lasted for several days, finally stopped at dawn on the third day, and the treetops and mountains were all covered with ice and snow woven gauze, and the silver was extremely demonic.
With the rising sun, this white world seems to be brighter all of a sudden, elegant and quiet, as if entering a crystal clear fairytale-like world.
A series of small footprints quickly appeared on this pure white canvas, and as they were about to reach the pine tree at the bottom of the hillside, the owner of the footprints, the red-haired squirrel, turned his head and looked at the human standing at the mouth of the cave and saving it from a distance.
"I can't see that you still have this love!" A crisp voice sounded from behind, and Luo Yan, who was wearing a fur coat, walked over with a smile, followed by Jason, who was always poker-faced.
"I'm a true knight... Cadet Knight. Kane shrugged and paused, his gaze pausing on the coat on Lotus's shoulder, "How's it going?"
The mental trauma and fatigue of the past few days caused the little girl to faint on the march not long ago, and her condition did not improve until yesterday.
"What? do you want to try it, sir!" Luo Yan flicked her sleeves in a heroic manner, and before the flying coat had fallen into the snow, she heard a bang, and a bright long sword was pointed in front of Kane.
"Ahh But before her gorgeous performance could begin, the curtain was closed with a sneeze.
"Hey!" Kane frowned, walked over in three or two steps and picked up his coat and wanted to put it on for her, but suddenly he seemed to remember something, his movements were sluggish, and finally he just handed it to her.
He then reprimanded with a stiff face: "Save your prestige for the future, and now all you need is to go back to the cave and sit by the firewood." ”
"Why are you discriminating against me?" Luo Yan did not take the coat, but frowned dissatisfiedly.
"No! it's an order!" Kane handed his coat forward.
"Okay, just be as loud as you can!" Luo Yan finally took the coat, dropped the sentence angrily, and walked towards the cave behind her.
"Abuse of military power is punishable by imprisonment. After Luo Yan left, Jason smiled and said casually
"No way. Kane didn't take Jason's joke, shook his head, and sighed, "I don't want to lose my comrades because of some small things." ”
Jason frowned and said, "Are you still thinking about Mars?"
After successfully escaping the orcs, there was once again a split of opinion in the team.
Mars and the other three Ginnsoul soldiers were unwilling to carry out Kane's plan of escape in any way.
They decided to find a safe place in the valley and wait for the Empire to regain control of the area, which they felt was the right choice rather than taking a huge risk of traveling thousands of miles.
Although Kane had made it clear to them that the Rhine front must have been anomalous because of this unprecedented change in the orcs, Mars refused to believe it.
Not long after Kane took over the team, he relied on the emergency plan of the military department, and his authority was limited, so to put it bluntly, he was not much taller than the others present, and in the end, Jason simply circled a few safe hiding places for Mars and them.
Kane could see that Jason had done something bad about it.
Although it is impossible for the orcs to find those places, it is also basically impossible for humans to exist, and even if the empire regains control of this area, it is impossible to set foot in it.
And with Mars's greedy personality and fear of death, they don't dare to rashly go out to investigate the situation in the outside world, in other words, they are estimated to be wild men for the rest of their lives...
Even if this matter passed like this, relying on the prestige accumulated in front of Kane, coupled with the emotions established by the life and death of the players, except for a few comrades who were mixed with Mars on weekdays, no one else wavered, even those Mars's henchmen decided to follow the big army after weighing it.
This should be the cohesion that Zax often talks about, which is good news.
Leaving Mars aside, whether their departure was right or wrong for the time being, but being made such a fuss by them undoubtedly added a pressure to Kane, who had just accepted the command.
In order not to repeat similar situations, he has been doing everything himself, hoping to convince people by example and increase the cohesion of the team.
Under the multiplication of stress, it is natural that emotional control is a little unbearable.
Jason continued, "It's not your fault, even if Merischi is resurrected, it won't be possible to keep all the soldiers united. ”
After a pause, Jason glanced at Kane, and said: "What's more, as a commander, you should pay more attention to leading by example, you use the excuse of injury to teach Luo Yan a lesson, no wonder she is not convinced." ”
In the battle in the valley, there is a price to pay for being hot-headed and tough with the orc leader who is a cut above Kane's boss.
Although in the end, he relied on the advantage of combat skills to preemptively beat the opponent to serious injury, and finally ended up with the orc, but Kane himself suffered a lot of injuries, and in fact, he still did not recover by this time.
"History repeats itself, and I will still make the same choice. Kane had no regrets about it.
Jason sighed in his heart, and knew that he had no intention of sexual persuasion, but it seemed that it was precisely because of this idiot-like momentum that this fragmented team could be reunited, including himself.
"I really don't know where you got your confidence in this bronze scum" Thinking so, Jason shook his head, waved away the tangled in his head, and then pulled out his long sword with a bang, and provoked Kane: "You need capital to be in the limelight, if you are still so good, you may not be so lucky next time, draw your sword!"
"Are you going to fight for my command?" Kane chuckled, then drew his sword and said, "Don't you know how long the power taken by force won't last?"
"Are you scared?" Jason curled the corners of his mouth
"You've managed to provoke me!"
Grinning, Kane raised his sword and slashed at Jason, and the two sides quickly fought together, and for a while only the clanging sound was heard, and several team members near the cave saw that there was a good show, and they also gathered around.
It was not a life-and-death fight, nor was it a formal duel in the ring, and the two sides did not even mobilize their fighting spirit, purely through swordsmanship, and it was the most basic swordsmanship.
Basic swordsmanship is a basic lesson that every swordsman, and even every warrior masters.
However, this does not mean that it is useless, on the contrary, basic swordsmanship is essential for every swordsman, because it is the only way to the top of the mountain!
Just like the cornerstone used to build a house, if you don't train your basic swordsmanship to a level, you can't master those high-level swordsmanship, because everything is changing, and those legendary swordsmanship itself has evolved from basic swordsmanship.
Before meeting Roshi, although Kane's martial arts talent was not at the bottom, it could only be said to be mediocre, and the focus was not on it, so the level was naturally not high, at most it was an intermediate level.
Basic swordsmanship also has his classification, which is divided into six stages: elementary, intermediate, advanced, pretended, extraordinary, and mythical.
However, more than 90% of the swordsmen in the empire basically stop at the level of pretending to be fine, first, it is too difficult to improve in the future, but more importantly, there is no need for this, the basic swordsmanship of the prejudging level is enough to learn almost all the swordsmanship of the current empire.
Jason's swordsmanship talent is already outstanding, and he has received rigorous training since he was a child, reaching the level of pretending to be fine in the morning, and he is not able to fight against the intermediate Kane, who is stronger and weaker.
The two couldn't fight more than ten swords, Kane was stabbed to the wrist by Jason's sword, and when he hurriedly collected the sword, with Jason's wrist shaking, he shook hard, and then lightly picked, Kane's long sword was picked and flew out.
"It's unimaginably weak!" Jason sneered
"Come again!" Kane picked up his sword and rushed at Jason again.
He knew that Jason was improving his swordsmanship in this way, after all, he had a family bond and couldn't hand over the family's secrets to Kane like Zax, but some swordsmanship knowledge was enough to benefit him a lot.
"Bet, bet, guess how many rounds Chief Kane will survive this time?"
"I'll press 20 moves!"
"Where can I be, I only had 16 moves just now, and this time I have 18 moves at most!"
Although there was no suspense in the outcome of the match, it did not prevent the extremely boring do-gooders from having some fun, and under Doro's leadership, the mighty gamble was quickly unraveled.
This guy who Kane felt that he should be hung up to fight the military might, actually pressed all the military pay within 10 moves of Kane's defeat, and threatened to run around the cave 300 times if he lost.
His sky-high bargaining chip immediately attracted everyone to bet, after all, Kane held 16 moves in the first game, and even if he did not improve but regressed this time, he would not fail to pass ten moves.
It's just that these white deceived little white rabbits don't know that there is a sinister trap hidden in it.
Yes!
In fact, Jason's sudden arrival to instruct Kane in swordsmanship was not a temporary move, but a suggestion given to him by Doro earlier, and later explained that he wanted to borrow him to cheat money.
After he resorted to his usual rogue trick of hugging his thighs and crying poor, Jason, who was disturbed by him, could only wave his hand to send the scoundrel away.
At this time, it was thanks to him that so many people could suddenly gather, and of course Jason had his hands in the first sword competition, but except for a few masters including Doro, everyone else was kept in the dark.
At this time, Doro, who had Harazi's golden eyes, smiled proudly, and his mind was already flying to what to do with this huge amount of money.
But laughing and laughing... He couldn't laugh anymore...
The onlookers on the field widened their eyes early and their jaws dropped to the ground.
