Chapter 14: Dangerous and Brutal Training
When the first rays of the morning sun fell, the young man outside the woods had already carried a leather bag full of stones and leg guards, or carried a heavy iron axe, and ran to the old forest thirty miles behind the village. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Mondello jogged behind with a wicked smile on his face, and although his leg still hurt a little, it didn't stop him from throwing away his crutches.
The team split into two rows, with Ota and Sawyer each leading a team side by side, running and running, Sawyer began to accelerate, and his teammates behind him were gradually distanced.
Ota frowned, even though Instructor Mondello had said this morning that the first team to run to the woods could pick a piece of beef from the other team's lunch as the winner's reward at lunchtime, but the instructor was talking about the team, not just one person.
Ota shook his head, ignoring Sawyer's defiant gaze when he looked back, and instead shouted a trumpet to keep the team in lockstep.
Some of Sawyer's team members wanted to catch up, while others ran at a constant speed according to Otta's number, and the team suddenly seemed chaotic, some fast and some slow.
"Brother Ota," Iron Man glanced at Sawyer's back and said anxiously, "If Sawa wins against you, he will definitely pick a piece of meat from you at lunch." ”
Orta smiled and said without looking back, "Although he can pick a piece of meat, I can guarantee that you can pick a piece of meat from each of his squad, so we still earn it." ”
Ota stopped talking, but continued to shout the trumpet to gradually speed up, and often ran to the back of the team to encourage his teammates, and even took the axe of a skinny team member and carried it on his back to reduce his weight.
As time passed, Otta's team gradually pulled apart along the way, and several players with slightly less physical strength began to fall behind, and behind them, there were Sawyer's team members, some squatting on the ground gasping for breath, and some walking forward step by step with iron axes.
"Come on, brothers, grit your teeth and hold on a little longer. "Ota kept encouraging the players.
With Otta's encouragement and help, his team finally persevered to the end, surpassing everyone except Sawyer to the outside of the forest.
Sawyer looked at Ota with an excited face at this time, stepping on the axe under his feet and shaking the handle of the axe in his hand, indescribably comfortable.
Ota looked at him silently, and then said: "Sawyer, as the second captain, you gave up your team, this is a fatal mistake, I hope you can reflect on it." ”
Suo Yalen was stunned for a moment, but he still argued stiffly: "This is just training, there is no need to be like on the battlefield, and only in this way can we see who is strong and who is weak, so that we can leave the best team to form a team, I don't want to leave the weak to drag down my teammates, which is not fair to others." ”
Ota didn't want to argue with him, and he didn't want the players to see the two captains arguing, so he turned to everyone and said, "Rest for ten minutes, and then start today's training." ”
"Hmph," Sawa snorted coldly, silently walking over to a tree and sitting down.
"Tom Tom"
When Mondello and Elle arrived in the woods together, the team was slightly surprised and continued to cut down trees, each of them spreading out one by one, and they all chose very thick trees as they had been told.
Mondello beckoned the team to gather around, and then shouted: "Do you only know how to cut down trees by brute force? ”
"First of all, you have to think of them as orcs, so you can't stand still and defend passively, so don't stop when you cut down trees, and you have to cut them in circles around the trees. Second, it should be accurate, and it should be cut on the previous wound, just like the orc did not die the first time, then the best solution is to cut it on the wound a second time. Third, pay attention to the ...... of spare space"
Mondello quickly finished a few requests, and finally asked aloud, "Do you remember them all?"
After the team members replied loudly, Mondello nodded, "Now I'll show you a demonstration, it's all good, I'll only demonstrate it once." ”
Then Mondello drew his saber and stood under a large tree, took a deep breath, and swung it.
"Aggressive"
The chopping knife slashed diagonally at the trunk of the tree, not deep when it entered the wood, and then his wrist twisted slightly, and the timing was quite accurate, and the chopping knife easily detached from the trunk. Then Mondello turned to one side and slashed again, moving with his footsteps, and after a few breaths, he came back from the other end of the tree, and the trunk was neatly left with a ring of scars.
Then came the second round of knives, continuing to slash at the previous mark, only to see that Mondello quickly circled back in the flying sawdust. Ten minutes later, Mondello, who was already sweating profusely, circled around again, and in front of him, only the thickness of his arm was left in the center of the big tree, and the crown of the umbrella was already shaking and making a rattling sound. Mondello took a sharp breath and slashed into the heart of the tree, and as the sawdust flew out, the trunk slowly began to tilt to one side, and finally smashed into the ground with a "boom", and the grass clippings flew all over the place.
The team members, including Otta, looked at Mondello in amazement, admiring his superb sword skills, and even Ellie put away the elf's strange smile and pondered seriously.
Ota nodded, and said secretly in his heart: "Sure enough, as the instructor said, this method has high requirements for the judgment of eyes, the control of strength, and the smoothness and accuracy of body movement, it seems that there are still many things I have to learn, no wonder my uncle reminded me not to be complacent." ”
Thinking of this, Ota became even more determined, since he had chosen this path, since he was determined to follow his father's example, then he trained harder.
Ota took the axe to find a large tree, and after recalling Mondello's posture, technique and pace of cutting trees, he began his first training in cutting trees.
In the woods, there is the sound of "aggressive" tree chopping everywhere, and the voice of Mondello can also be heard at any time.
"The pace is too slow, are you afraid that the orc will not have enough to eat and will have to feed it yourself?"
"Don't shake your hands, is this cutting down trees? You're carving and painting. ”
"Forcefully, are you tickling the orcs...... Oh, it's Ellie......" The roar was immediately much quieter, and Mondello patiently explained the steps.
Ota carried a leather bag full of stones, and still had leggings tied to his legs, and he was sweating profusely, and his hands were dancing with his axe feet.
"Click"
The axe was a little stronger, and the axe was deeply embedded in the trunk of the tree, but the man moved at this moment, so that he did not grasp the handle of the axe and his hands were empty.
Orta stood in the tree and pondered for a moment, carefully summarizing the mistakes just now. After a few moments he took out the axe and cut it again, and in this way, after making mistakes, and summing up, the tree took more than an hour to cut it down before finally bringing it down.
The tree slammed to one side as the leaves swayed, and Mondello watched from afar in the direction in which the tree had fallen, where a figure was chopping down the tree, as if he had no idea that the broad canopy was about to fall on him.
Mondello became a little nervous, he had repeatedly asked the team not to shout before the tree fell, only in this way, so that they could keep their eyes and ears while they were fully engrossed, and learn to see and listen in danger, the purpose of which was nothing more than to give them more chances of surviving on the battlefield in the future.
Ota clasped his hands tightly and looked at Sawa under the other tree, the wide canopy whistling that he didn't even hear.
Sawyer dodged away. Ota saw that the canopy was about to fall, but Sawyer still didn't react, and couldn't help but remind him loudly.
Just as the canopy was about to slap on Sawyer's head, he took two steps around the back of the tree he had chopped, and heard a loud boom, and the huge canopy smashed against the trunk, and the canopy fell to the ground in both directions.
Mondello breathed a sigh of relief and walked over. And Ota walked over apologetically and asked, "Sawyer, are you okay?" ”
Sawyer turned out from behind the tree, raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly, "I know you did it on purpose, isn't it just because I won can you pick a piece of meat for your lunch, hum, it's a pity that your trick didn't succeed and disappointed you." ”
"You," Otta's eyes widened, and it was okay to be misunderstood by Sawyer, but his repeated provocations were unbearable.
Ota is also a sixteen-year-old boy, and he also has a competitive mentality, and he was worried about the bad impact in order to take care of the overall situation, so he tolerated him, but Sawa was a little bit of an inch.
The two glared at each other like this, and neither of them spoke.
Mondello yelled as he approached, "Ota reminded others to dodge, Sawyer didn't detect the danger in advance to defend, you both violated the law, according to what I said before, the two of them carried the trunk of the tree and squatted together for a hundred, now, immediately, immediately, immediately......."
Flying with spittle, Ota and Sawyer covered their ears and ran to the tree that Mondello had cut down outside the forest, and the tree had already been cleared by him, leaving only a thick trunk lying across the ground.
They each lifted their heads, gasped and slung the trunk over their shoulders, then glared at each other.
Mondello duly shouted again: "You have to keep the rhythm in the same place, one head high and one low head will be considered invalid, and at the same time, you will be punished twice the number for not cooperating tacitly." ”
"Ellie, aren't you going to be an archer? That's right, you stand on the trunk of a tree to practice your balance, and if you can't stand on your feet and fall, then that's the end of your training for the day. If it's Ota and Sawyer's fault, then the additional punishment for them is twice the amount, do you understand?"
"Understood. Ota and Sawyer's faces changed in unison, but Ellie ran over happily, "Understood, understood, I can finally step on top of their heads......"
"Huh, when did the instructor become so ruthless?"
"This is a prelude to being tortured, and our life will be miserable in the future. ”
The team members whispered, looking at Ota and Sawyer with sympathy in their eyes.
