South, Wessex, a hotel, sunny weather.

Aku looked at a refurbished iron armor and couldn't help but touch it, which awakened the obsession with martial arts in his body.

This is the equipment that Axel helped him get, although the crown prince recruited troops, but he could not provide equipment, so he could only start from the lowest-level foot soldiers.

His face was squeezed out, and his companion Axel copied for half a month, broke three quills, plus an old scripture, and gave it back to him after owing half the price.

"It's time to eat."

Outside, a freckled girl shouted, and Aku put on a mask and went out to get food in front of the mirror.

Opening the door and taking it, the smile on the girl's face made Aku feel very good-looking.

It was nothing else, it was a smile of confidence.

And he has lost the ability to laugh.

Very simple food, wheat flour added to wild fruits, wild vegetables, boiled into a pot of porridge, a stack of fried beans that can be eaten dry, and a piece of very hard black bread on top.

Took a bite, well, the black-hearted shopkeeper also added sawdust......

After the meal, he walked to the training ground with his sword.

Four days earlier, he had been driven out without equipment, and when he reappeared, soldiers who disliked his appearance shouted.

"The beggar-like boy is back again."

Aku ignored them, walked up to the instructor and said, "I've got what you want." ”

"As an infantry soldier, in addition to these two things, you also need to know a lot of combat skills, not like a peasant wielding a pestle."

The training instructor sent him to the side.

When someone came looking for trouble, he took off his mask, looked at them with vicious eyes, and made the appearance of a life-and-death fight, and finally got along.

He was afraid of injuring Axel, so he didn't make a move.

If you can participate in training, you can get a subsidy.

No one cared, he swung his sword quietly alone, fixing the same movements every day.

When they arrived, they left to find a quiet and uninhabited place, erected a simple wooden stake, and used it as an enemy to slash.

The people around him learned the use of swords, spears, shields and armor when he wielded the same sword.

If you don't have a horse, if you want to learn how to drive it, you have to rent it yourself.

He still wields his sword when other soldiers who come out of the money practice riding hundreds of meters away.

After going on like this for seven or eight days, someone finally couldn't help but ask, "Even if you practice like this for a lifetime, you won't be famous." ”

Aku just nodded and continued to wave, he was strengthening the body, the previous injury was too severe, his tendons were hard.

On the thirteenth day of the training, the news spread that the crown prince was coming to the school for the examination.

The soldiers all wanted to behave in front of the crown prince.

There are even those who abstain from prayer in order to perform well in the day.

On that day, it was very bright and the sun was as hot as a fireball.

Sweat soaked all parts of his body, and the stuffy Aku took off the mask, which frightened many people.

When the crown prince appeared, he rode a white horse, tall and mighty, and the maidens on the side of the road brought him flowers, and the people boasted of his merits.

Aku watched quietly from the crowd.

He saw that his companion Axel was also at the back of the line.

This infantry training ground, open and open, was built on the outside of the fort.

Enough for a hundred people to train at the same time.

It is divided into three divisions, archers, infantry (and empty-handed combat), and cavalry (chariots).

Around the training ground, there are also viewing seats (for the commander to inspect) and rest seats.

Alfred was very satisfied to see that the people loved him so much, and said to his cronies, Frie? After Baron Sexin had said a few words, the latter spoke up, hoping to see a wonderful and wonderful contest.

Although his son was released by Oran, he eventually died of illness due to long-term torture.

This made all of Fried's hair turn white, and he hated the North from then on.

He was the chief instructor in charge of this training ground.

But he stayed with the crown prince for a long time, and Aku met for the first time.

"Let's get started, warriors."

The inspection suddenly turned into a small contest, and hundreds of people gathered outside, and Alfred did not drive them away, but only ordered people to maintain order.

In Alfred's heart, the crown prince was cultivated as his cronies, and in addition to fighting, he also needed to be able to read, write, and count.

At the highest level, he also has to learn etiquette and diplomacy, because he often has to accompany himself to court ceremonies, but during this time, the four training grounds, excluding those children of nobles, those from civilian backgrounds, have not reached the standard he wants.

At the beginning of the fight, there was a lot of cheering.

Although a wooden sword is used, it is also a rare entertainment.

But in the end, the two best swordsmen, stepping on the turf, each holding a real sword!

The referee waved the flag and the whistle blew.

The two of them each rushed to the opposite side as fast as they could.

The sword flowers danced, and the sharp metal slammed into people's hearts with each blow.

All kinds of fancy defenses and attacks change direction, making people swallow.

This is a set of tricks, Aku can see it, there are not so many tricks in real sword fighting, and the target is either the face or the heart, and the worst is the lower body.

The winner was an infantry instructor from Aku, the third male of a knight's family.

When Frie called him a warrior and asked for a reward, the man got carried away and shouted to everyone, "Whoever else is going to come up, I accept any challenge!"

Aku didn't move, but one of the nearby landless knights did.

A lucrative bounty, even the nobles wanted.

They are all subordinates of the crown prince's side, but this knight doesn't know Aku's instructor, but he is confident that he can win, so he walks out.

In real sword fighting, courage is very important.

Life and death are instantaneous.

The knight held up a slightly taller sword, and in the scorching sun, he struck out in the middle.

The main killing move in the middle section is the stabbing sword,

Compared to the upper section, with the help of the strength of the body, it is very difficult to achieve this kind of speed and strength in the middle section, because he is in the middle, sacrificing part of the attack power, forming a way of both offense and defense.

Touch!

Touch!

After the two swordsmen bumped a few times, estimating their respective strengths, the knight knew he had won.

After judging that he was faster and his strength was equal, the knight circled around Instructor Aku, quickly stabbed out, and with a few strokes, he was forced back into a corner, surrounded by a crowd.

With a bang, the knight knocked the opponent's sword away, and even though the opponent had already conceded defeat, the knight still chased out of the sideline, almost injuring the civilian.

Swing two more swords.

This is understandably a state of stress in an overly concentrated battle.

But one of the swords almost wounded Axel, who was also in the corner.

Aku walked over and asked him about his condition.

In the end, the knight won, and Aku did not participate in the rest of the competition.

Assel asked him why he didn't get it, and he only said, "I didn't understand before, I just wanted people to know how good I was, but none of the people around me I could keep."

I'm a servant now, as long as I can protect my lord. ”

Do your job, do your job.

Axel thought for a moment, and smiled after understanding this truth, "That's right, there will be a chance." ”

The opportunity soon came, and three days later, the king's killers came to Alfred's side.

When Baron Fret and the Crown Prince are separated by a fierce battle, Aku proves his skills with an almost ghostly speed.

There are more people around the crown prince, and after stabilizing the situation, he will fall on one side.

But few people dared to behead people directly like Aku.

If the strength is not enough, the strength of the head and the bones will make people vomit out all the food of yesterday.

These corpses awaken Aku's fighting spirit and ferocity.

A certain head, he is treated as a white eagle, and he is broken in two with one sword!

"Warrior, your name!"

This was the first thing Aku heard from the crown prince to himself......

At the same time, in the north, the eagle flag flies,

Soon, the enemy flag on the opposite side also arrived.
