Chapter 4: The First Turning Point 2
"Your Royal Highness, the Sword and Shield Battalion is here to report!" "Your Highness, the spear battalion is here to report!" "Your Highness, the heavy armor battalion is here to report!" "Your Highness, the light cavalry and heavy cavalry guards belonging to the cavalry battalion are here to report!" "Your Royal Highness, the Divine Arrow Battalion is here to report!" Early the next morning, the commanders of each battalion brought the selected people to the school of the Prince's Mansion to report. And Roland was still unable to calm down for a long time because of his father's words last night.
"Roland, come with me to the secret room" I remember that when my father first said this last night, Roland's face was incredulous. Although he always knew where the secret room was, Roland never entered it, and only remembered that his father said that the secret room contained the most important things of the family. You are only allowed to go in if you can shoulder the responsibility. After entering the secret room, Roland was shocked, and went deep into the underground secret room, except for the stone table and stone bench in the middle, the entire secret room was empty. The stone tables and benches are full of ancient atmosphere.
"Look, remember my footwork now, you've been coming here every night for the past two months except for other things. After speaking, the Prince of Ceylon walked straight to the front of the stone table and stood 2 meters away, and then began to walk slowly and regularly: the first three, the last four, the fifth from the left, and the first two With the footwork walking, the whole secret room suddenly became lively, and the footwork was also stiff at the beginning, and slowly filled with a unique charm. Fourth from right, third from the back, fifth from left. When the Prince of Ceylon took the last step, he returned to the original starting point. The whole chamber rippled like a calm lake suddenly bursting into a pebble. The originally empty secret room suddenly appeared one after another. The stone table and bench were still in the middle, but there were two more books on the table.
"Remember Blair's history?"
"Yes. ”
"This is a secret chamber left behind by Blair's Terrans. There is a spatial shielding formation, if you don't know how to enter here, although there will be no threat, but you can't find what he is hiding. This is something that I have discovered occasionally since I came here for the Father. I know that there are also your two uncles, Yuwen and Bron. There are two books on the table. One is our Louis family's family heirloom sword recipe - the sword book of the immortals, as for his origin, I will tell you later. The other is a refining book. ”
"Refining, Father, do you want me to learn alchemy?" Roland asked, puzzled. You must know that the so-called refining weapons on the road now are actually similar to the blacksmiths that everyone usually talks about, but they are much more advanced than blacksmiths, because the so-called refining tools refer to the training of weapons, and a good refiner can use the same materials to train more advanced weapons and equipment. Although the status of a good refiner is not low, generally some powerful people will hire some people or specialize in cultivating this part of the talent. For example, there are several high-level refiners in Blair's territory, who are mainly responsible for providing equipment to important generals and armies.
"Don't you think it's unnecessary for you to refine weapons?"
"Yes. ”
"The reason why the indigenous races of Blair's territory were able to accompany the Sages back then was mainly due to their strong combat effectiveness. And the reason why their combat effectiveness is so strong is related to their clan's refining methods. Do you want to know why?"
"Isn't it possible to improve combat effectiveness when the weapons are equipped?"
"That's what my father thought when I didn't see anything here, but since I read their opinions on refining weapons, I found that there are still some places where we don't see them. One of the characteristics of their Terran weapons and equipment is that the main weapons, whether offensive or defensive, are made by the user himself, that is, they all build their own weapons. ”
"Why is that? They can have people build it. The rest of the people can concentrate on improving their martial arts. ”
"When you fight people, what are the factors that determine whether you win or lose?"
"The gap between the two in martial arts, the gap in weapons and equipment, and the choice of tactics. That's probably it. Roland replied after thinking.
"Then if there is not much difference between the two people's martial arts and tactics, doesn't it depend on the equipment? What is left in the dark grid here is some of their experience, as well as some refining materials. The reason why you are allowed to learn alchemy, the book will tell you. You can learn the sword spectrum now, and as for the refining weapon, you can familiarize yourself with it first. When you go out and close the stone door, the mechanism of the secret room will restart. For the father, he went out first" After saying that, the Prince of Ceylon left the secret room, leaving Roland to think.
With some curiosity, Roland walked to the stone table. Although I have been learning some martial arts under Bron's guidance over the years, they are all basic martial arts, which can be called basic martial arts, and I have never taught them at any advanced level. Once asked about Uncle Bron, Bron said with disgust, "The foundation has not been practiced yet, what is advanced to learn." Since then, including my father, I have never mentioned it again, and today my father not only let him learn swordsmanship, but also let him learn to refine weapons, which is really strange. "Don't be in a hurry with the sword spectrum, let's look at the refining weapon first, my father actually admires it so much. Roland thought. After opening the sword book, Roland couldn't calm down for a long time, and it was written on the refining weapon that the Blair aboriginal race believed that a person's equipment needed to be forged for himself when he found his own way. Only in this way can a person's body, spirit and equipment be maximized, and what suits them is the most important thing. And the refining method of the Blair Terran is not the same, their equipment can be upgraded, when your own strength continues to improve, you can find suitable materials to further improve the level of your equipment, so as to achieve the goal of growing together. And the book also writes that once you go far on your own path, you can improve very little by using this method. It seems that the father himself did not try, but failed.
"Your Royal Highness, everyone is waiting for you. At this moment, the registrar on the side quietly reminded Roland. Roland then remembered that he was still on the school grounds. At this time, everyone on the field stood there motionless, although they were a little dissatisfied, but they did not lose the discipline they should have as a soldier.
"I'm sorry guys, I've just been thinking about something, and I've been waiting for you for a long time. "Roland apologizes to everyone.
"It's okay, Your Highness, this is also a test for them. Several battalion commanders said with a smile, after all, they had fought with the Prince of Ceylon, so they were still more casual in some things.
Standing on the high platform, Roland looked down, there were not many people, and the total number of people in each battalion was forty or fifty, and they were not very old, about 20. All of them are full of spirit, showing that they are all the leaders of the younger generation in each battalion. Vaguely, Roland seemed to think that this was his father who asked him to start cultivating his own team. Because in many cases, only those who have worked hard together and handed over their lives are the most trustworthy. After the inspection, Roland looked at the battalion commanders and said apologetically: "Uncles and uncles, yesterday my father asked me to form my own team, and I also considered what kind of team I need to form. The small detachment of 10 people is not very suitable for large corps operations and small group mobility, so after consideration, I think that the heavy armor profession is not suitable for the needs of the small detachment, and I don't know what the uncles and uncles think. ”
"Well, my subordinates also think so, the words of the squad are not suitable for frontal conflict with people, it is more suitable for mobile raids, the mobility ability of the heavy armor profession is too weak, and if there are fewer people, it is a fixed target, and if there are more people, it can't run. At this time, the commander of the cavalry battalion said. Seeing him speak, the commanders of the other battalions did not raise any objections.
"The heavy armor professional rests on the sidelines, and the rest stay put. After the discussion was over, the herald spoke to the audience.
