The morning in the town is particularly quiet in the light of the sun, and the smoke rises slowly, like a fairyland, and the air is filled with the aroma of bread and the laughter of the people.

Since Surin took the lead in eating breakfast, the people in the town also began to eat breakfast slowly, and then began to go out to do the assigned work, and there was meat for every meal at noon and evening, and they were also very satisfied with this life.

At this time, Su Lin was also standing on the grass outside the town, followed by ten selected young people, and he had to train these people for the competition in half a month.

"There are only two things you practice this month, one is wrestling, the other is team fighting, and the sparring partner in charge of you is Star. Su Lin pointed to the sta next to him, and then continued to speak: "In half a month, you will know how strong you are." ”

After that, he asked people to bring a batch of round wooden shields and wooden swords, and after distributing them, someone immediately asked, "Lord Duke, don't we practice swordsmanship, and why are the swords so short?"

Hearing this, Su Lin also walked in front of the man, stared at the other party with his eyes, and then asked in a deep voice, "What is the duty of a soldier?"

"It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. The man immediately replied in a loud voice.

"Very well, I hope you will remember that for my orders, don't ask why, you just have to carry them out. ”

After looking at the crowd and sweeping around, Surin also asked Starr to start training.

Then Starr walked out with a huge wooden axe, hooked his hand at the ten men, and said, "Come on!"

Hearing this, the ten people also glanced at each other, and then slowly leaned towards Stara with their shields and short swords.

The weapons they had touched before, spears and swords, and combinations like shields and short swords had never been touched, so they felt a little uncomfortable after getting it, especially this short sword, how could it be so short to touch people, they were all complaining in their hearts.

Starta looked at the people rushing in front of him, he also kicked it unceremoniously, and immediately the man raised his shield to block the blow, but then he felt a huge force coming from the shield, and the man also flew out directly upside down and smashed on the ground.

Then he swept the wooden axe to the ground and hit them in the legs, causing them to lose their balance and fall to the ground.

The people who rushed over tried to fight back, but because the swords in their hands were too short, they couldn't touch Sta at all, and instead they were directly hit by the wooden axe, and the short sword in their hands immediately fell to the ground.

After a while, all ten of them were there, but Stara also stood in place with a proud face carrying a wooden axe, and then looked at Su Lin and asked, "Lord Duke, your method seems to be useless, I can easily solve them." ”

"Don't worry, you'll see how good they are. ”

Looking at Star's smug face, Su Lin only smiled slightly, this time he wanted to promote the phalanx combat that Engels called 'the most perfect establishment and tactics in the era of cold weapons', and the core of phalanx combat is the sword and shield soldiers.

The short sword held by these ten people is a wooden Roman short sword, only sixty or seventy centimeters long, which is much shorter than the average sword of this era, and it will not be very suitable at first, but after a long time, they will get used to it, so they will let Sta give them sparring.

It's basically impossible to improve the tactical level of these people in half a month, but it's still possible to get them used to the way they use the dagger and shield, so his plan is to have Stara abuse them vigorously in the first week, and let them practice teamwork later.

At the same time, Felicia was also teaching the ten people she had chosen on the other side, and she was accompanied by Gru, who knew that if she lost this competition, then the way of knighthood would be abolished, so she had to win.

"In the next half month, Gru will teach you some basic swordsmanship, and then you can practice hard, I believe it should be easy to defeat them by then. ”

After the order, Felicia left, leaving Gru here to train them, and she trusted Gru too.

At this time, on the salt mine on the coast, a group of people, about twenty people, were gathering and whispering.

A man with long hair and a ruffian face was the first to speak: "I said brothers, we used to command others, but now we are staying in this place, don't you feel depressed?"

"Who says it's not, in the past, we were all drinking wine with women in our arms, how could we come here to knock on this broken salt mine. ”

"Do you think we can take control of this place?"

In the evening, Felicia stripped naked in the bath as usual, closed her eyes and rested, and then she felt a pair of hands on her shoulders, and massaged, she couldn't help but groan, and at the same time asked, "Don't you really practice the knightly fiefdom system?"

Su Lin pressed her shoulder and said in a deep voice: "The era of knights has passed in my heart, and we have too few people now, so it is no longer realistic to train knights. ”

Hearing this, Felicia also pondered for a while, then laughed, and said to Su Lin, "Come in! ”

Seeing this, Su Lin also muttered while taking off his clothes: "You have to go to bed to deepen your relationship, not here." ”

As soon as Surin lay down, Felicia stretched out her legs and placed them on his shoulders, which allowed Surin to feast her eyes on and even her private parts.

But before he could be happy, Felicia's voice rang out again: "Why are you still stunned, give me a massage!"

"Okay, you're the uncle. ”

Su Lin also grabbed her leg with an aggrieved face and massaged it, now he felt that he was a masseuse, or the kind that was on call.

"Ahhh

At this time, Eve and several other girls were also standing outside eavesdropping, and their faces couldn't help but blush when they heard Felicia's delicate panting sound inside.

One of the girls asked, "Didn't you say that Lord Duke can't do it?"

"You don't know this, the princess naturally wants to estimate the face of the duke, that's why she calls it so seriously. ”

"Don't guess, Her Royal Highness the princess is so beautiful, it's impossible for a man to be a man, just do it a few more times if you don't do it once. ”

A week passed quickly, and the training on both sides was also in full swing, and the content of the training on both sides was similar, Starr focused on exploring himself in actual combat, and Gru paid attention to the proficiency of moves.

Surin came to inspect the training of his ten men again, and saw that they had a high mastery of short swords and shields in the battle with Star, and there would be no more discomfort.

Then he sat them down again and smiled and asked, "How are you feeling now?"

Cass, as the leader of the ten-person team, was the first to speak after hearing this question: "At first, I didn't feel comfortable with it, but then I felt very relieved with a shield in my hand. ”

"You know, knights are individualistic, and now you have to be a team, an elephant looks powerful, but thousands of ants can bite their heads to death. Su Lin said in an impassioned tone.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, someone asked with a puzzled face: "Lord Duke, what is an elephant?"

"Alright, now do as I say, treat you as a whole, and believe that it will be easy to defeat Star. Surin gave the order directly, and did not dwell on the question of what an elephant was.

Starr was also ready to teach them a good lesson at this time, although they had made some progress during this time, but they were not yet able to defeat themselves.

Soon the two of them began to confront each other again, and Starr looked at ease, and then he saw three people in a row rushing towards him, instead of one by one.

After seeing this scene, he didn't panic, and directly chopped it down with an axe, but his blow was directly blocked by Cass with a shield, and then the short sword in his hand immediately stabbed out.

Seeing this, when Shi Sta was thinking about how to deal with it, the two people next to him also approached quickly with shields, not giving him a chance to distance himself at all.

After a week of practice, they had already learned that sword and shield coordination must be melee combat, and they used their powerful melee ability to quickly eliminate their opponents.

At this time, Starr had already felt the pressure of the three of them in close combat, as if there were copper walls in front of him, and the room could not be broken, so he wanted to retreat and open some distance, but found that two more three-person teams were approaching behind him.

"Why is it so difficult? It is impossible to open the situation at all, and it is impossible to open a breakthrough. Starr thought to himself.

Then he was about to swing the axe again to force the men back, but as soon as he raised the axe, Cass and the others immediately clamped him between them with their shields, and the short sword in his hand was placed under his neck.

Seeing that he lost like this, Starr also felt very helpless, he couldn't use his strength, the other party didn't give a one-on-one chance at all, and he only used thirty percent of his strength.

"How do you feel now?" asked Surin as he walked over with a smile.

"They are indeed very strong, this way of fighting is not important to the strength of the individual, the important thing is the overall cooperation, the shield is also very comprehensive for its own protection, and the short sword will not let itself be unable to use when cooperating. ”

Starr analyzed it carefully, he is also a warrior, and he can naturally appreciate the advantages of this way of fighting.

Su Lin looked at Cass and the others with excited faces, and said seriously: "The war is cruel, I can't make you invincible, but I can let you survive to the greatest extent, and then you can just cooperate with the team." ”

When the ten of them heard this, they were also very moved, and their eyes looked at him with more and more admiration.
