Chapter 198: Swordsmanship and Swordsmanship
On the open-air training ground, more than a dozen Night Elves were diligently wielding the practice wooden swords in their hands, repeating the diagonal slash from top right to bottom left. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
A night elf in heavy armor and carrying a great sword patrolled the training grounds, and there was no joy or anger on his brick-like face, and the other elves did not dare to speculate.
"Not steady enough! With a brute force swing like this, you can't split even a bundle of wheat stalks!" Aramil shouted at the young juniors.
When the little ones heard Alamir's disgruntled voice, they could only shrink their heads and continue to repeat the slashing motion. Someone was not convinced, so Alamil really brought him a bundle of wheat stalks, but when the fighting spirit was banned, the wheat straw was only beaten away, not cut off.
A gray-clad figure suddenly fell from a height, causing the entire platform to shake as it landed, but strangely there was no sound.
"Do you want to teach you the basic skills of the blade line?" Levi casually picked up an iron sword with a sharp edge, walked to the position where the target was stacked, a few flashes of knife light, and a bundle of wheat stalks was cut into five parts, the first knife was the lowest one, and the remaining four knives were made up when the upper bale of wheat straw fell.
"Are you back?" Alamil asked when he saw Levi, "What about Her Royal Highness?"
"Safe and sound, by the way, mission accomplished. Levi hung his iron sword on the weapon rack, "I've come to ask you for advice." ”
As soon as Levi's words were finished, the Night Elves present were shocked. Aramir is the most powerful warrior of the Night Elves, and his name is legendary.
"Oh?" Aramil took off the heavy sword behind his back and held it in front of him in a vertical sword position, "Rules?"
"Skill and foundation. Lévy clenched his right hand. The copper hilt was firmly grasped by him, and with a slight pull, the entire long sword was pulled out of the air, "With Dou Qi, I will definitely lose, so, not comparable." ”
Alamil raised a slender eyebrow. This guy.
Levy's basic swordsmanship has been seen in the knife test just now.
With only physical strength, cut off the wheat straw bundle with a bladed sword, a swordsman who has seriously exercised the foundation of swordsmanship for several months can do it, and after cutting it, it will be cut again in the process of its falling, only a few people with a very strong swordsmanship foundation can do it, and Levi, after the first sword, four consecutive slashes, the difficulty of which is geometrically increased.
It's not that the power of the sword is sharp enough. This requires the hand holding the sword to be stable enough, and the blade must be steadily cut in, through, and out without the slightest tilt, otherwise the result will be-
A young Night Elf cut off half of the straw bale with a single sword, and with great force broke the remaining half, scattering the straw bale all over the ground.
The corners of Alamir's mouth twitched, so he wanted to personally teach these little guys swordsmanship, because there was a fighting spirit. This magical supernatural energy is much more convenient and sharp to operate than a sword, so many little guys don't care about the practice of basic swordsmanship at all. If you keep chopping things, you must not have enough fighting strength, and if you can't do it, you will release your fighting spirit.
But this will not improve the swordsmanship at all!
These elves who came to listen to Alamir's teachings naturally understood how shocking Levi's hand was just now, and they did not talk about it like other elves who watched the excitement, but consciously made way for them to make a sufficiently spacious venue.
Alamil took a deep breath and stared at the human swordsman in front of him, it was not easy to say which of the two sides of the basic swordsmanship was stronger or weaker. But only in terms of sword speed, the other party has surpassed himself, on the premise of maintaining stability.
Lévy raised his long sword, the blade of which was sideways in front of him, slowly slicing outward in a semicircle. Finally, position yourself at your side in an upside-down position.
Lévy means asking the opponent to attack first.
Of course, in fact, between opponents who are evenly matched, the first attack is of little significance, just a kind of etiquette.
Alamil also echoed with a flat sword, raising a heavy sword in his right hand at shoulder level, striding towards Lévy, and when the distance reached a certain position, he suddenly changed his pace to small steps, and the heavy sword slashed along the horizontal plane.
Lévy took a step back, the blade of the slash slashing less than five centimeters from the tip of his nose, and his skin could feel the chill of the blade of the heavy sword.
The epee is also known as the hand-and-half-sword, and only after special training can one use such a large weapon with one hand.
Alamil was clearly trained, and the heavy sword swung without a moment's delay, and the attack fell short of what he expected, leaving in the next split second, and the blade drooped across a small arc.
Lévi dodged Alamil's slash and took a half-step forward, his sword slashing upwards from the lower right in the direction of the blade.
The longsword and the heavy sword collide together, making a crisp sound unique to metal.
After the initial collision, Alamir's heavy sword and Levi's longsword danced into two snowflakes, and the sound of blades colliding rained down between them.
The surrounding elves looked in a cold sweat, although these two did not use Dou Qi, but the stable high attack frequency brought by the solid foundation of swordsmanship and the attack method that did not waste a trace of strength could suppress an ordinary warrior who dared to use Dou Qi to fight with them to death.
No, there is no need to suppress it, because the average swordsman is full of flaws in their eyes, and why should an enemy who can be defeated in two or three rounds need to be suppressed?
Constant mental tension and constant swinging of the sword can be a huge drain on physical strength, especially when facing opponents of the same level as yourself.
Whether it was Levi or Alamier, his breathing began to become a little heavy, and the sword speed no longer maintained the maximum speed, but adjusted to a relatively stable speed.
This can maintain combat effectiveness for a long time, but the variable speed also makes the sword duel between the two more dangerous.
Taking a step back, Alamil clenched his long sword, the blade pointing upwards at Levi, and leaning down slightly, making the tip of the sword jerk forward and downward, reaching the tip of the sword.
Basic sword move - point sword.
Levi stared solemnly at the swiftly approaching tip of the sword.
The attack distance of the longsword is about ten centimeters shorter than that of the heavy sword, and the difference of ten centimeters seems small, but it is a distance of life and death in a duel, which caused Levi to gradually lose the upper hand in the previous attack.
Silently counting the rhythm of Alamil's attack, Levi suddenly increased the speed of his movements, and the longsword in his hand moved forward in the previous attack, occasionally shaking Alamil's stabbing blows, and at the same time, the longsword rested on the blade of the heavy sword, slashing towards Alamil's right hand holding the sword.
A smile curled into the corner of Alamil's mouth, and when Lévy's long sword was sharpened, his arm and wrist were forced, and the blade was suddenly rotated, and the angle between the hilt and the blade jammed Levi's longsword, and his left hand, which had been empty, also held the hilt, and with both hands, he snatched the long sword from Levi's hand!
"You lose...... Tsk!" Alamir's words turned into a sigh of regret before he could finish his words.
The moment he jammed Levi's sword and snatched it away, his attention was diverted from Levi, who had been leaving his left hand with an extra short sword, pressing it against his throat as the sword was released.
Although he lost the competition, Alamil still felt very happy, and in this era, many young people and even the elves of the older generation did not understand the importance of basic swordsmanship, and simply used brute force, as well as fighting spirit - as a powerful Sanctuary warrior, Alamil really loved and hated it.
Almost no one can match him in basic swordsmanship, they don't understand this pure beauty, maybe many elven warriors have all kinds of gorgeous combat skills, but the combat skills without swordsmanship support are just bright bubbles in Alamir's eyes, and they will burst when they poke it.
In this brief duel with Levy, he once again felt the indescribable joy he felt when he insisted on practicing these simple and boring basic movements, ignoring the cold and heat and the strange stares of others.
"How did you do that?" asked Aramil impatiently as soon as the duel was over.
Between swordsmen and swordsmen, there may be differences in combat effectiveness due to physical fitness, fighting spirit level, etc., but in the learning of swordsmanship itself, everyone is equal.
Skillfully mastering each movement, then thinking about how to respond to a particular situation, and then practice, again and again, until the body memorizes all these things, so that they form an almost instinctive memory, this is the right way.
"How you do it, that's how I do it. Lévi reached out and sucked back his longsword and shrugged at Alamel.
Alamil laughed heartily, and his heavily armored hand patted Levi's shoulder with a bang, the cunning boy.
Levi bared his teeth, this guy must have done it on purpose, so hard. (To be continued.) )
