Kong Ming walked into the tent, walked to his bed, put his sword aside, sat down on the bed, and gasped. Now the weather is getting colder and colder, the temperature in the tent is a few degrees higher than outside, so it seems more ambiguous, but the air here is much worse than outside, in summer, the smell is even more unique, because there are all kinds of smells here, foot odor, sweat smell, rice odor and so on, after the synthesis of these things, even the sword god can put him down, but the soldiers living here have no discomfort, including Kong Ming, maybe only people's adaptation to the environment is the strongest. The things here are also scattered everywhere, no one cares about these, those squad leaders and captains will only live in their special tents, and select some people from among the recruits to be orderlies, serving their daily life, and compared to Kong Ming, many of those people are nobles in Kari, even if it is just a small so-called baron, Kong Ming does not know the difference between those titles at this time, but only knows that they are different from Kong Ming, who came out of the ravine. Because every three squad leaders lived in a tent, and Kong Ming and they were a dozen people crammed into a tent, and when Kong Ming and a dozen of them ate, each of them could only get some food that could barely fill their stomachs, and those squad leaders had a bottle of wine each, not to mention other things. In other words, it is a hell for the Kongming barracks, but it is a paradise for those nobles, whose exploits come from these barbarian countrymen who they see as savages, who are masters, nobles, and high people, and soldiers who are nothing but their slaves, their cannon fodder, their weapons when they make meritorious deeds, and their shields when they escape, but when they are useful, and when they are useless, they are just a group of eyesore fellows, and if it were not for that little bit of capital that can climb up, that person would have come to this kind of place to train these filthy civilians for this kind of pitiful trainingAnd to the soldiers, the nobles were naked vampires, who usually sucked their labor, and now they sucked their lives. But this is the case in this era, no one wants to change anything, because if the commoners have the ability or opportunity, they can also become a nobleman, just like the war they will fight, and once they become a nobleman, then they can also live like a nobleman, that is also their ideal.

"Kong Ming, how are you practicing now?" asked Hu Er. Hu Er is in the same class as Kong Ming, more than ten years older than Kong Ming, he was a carpenter before he became a soldier, all the blacksmiths were arrested to build weapons, and the others were divided into various teams for training, and Hu Er and the other eight people were divided into a class like Kong Ming, one squad is eleven people, including the squad leader, ten classes are one team, five teams are a brigade, and five brigades are an army. At the top is the corps, and the number of corps is not fixed, sometimes a few more and sometimes a few, which is organized according to the needs of the battle. And the personnel in each team are also different, there are swordsmen, magicians, archers, pikemen, and some other types of troops are not what Kong Ming can know now, generally speaking, magicians are much more precious than other troops, this is not only because magicians are difficult to train in piles like swordsmen and archers, but also because magicians need to be highly talented, but also because the lethality and killing distance of magicians are not comparable to other troops, and the original items used by magicians are more expensive than other troops, the most important thing is that magicians are noble, not so casual to command, their status is higher than that of nobles。

"It's a little bit better than before. ”

"Can you fight?"

"I'm studying, and I think it should be okay after a while. Oh! It's time to eat, let's go, let's eat. Saying that, Kong Ming took out a ceramic bowl from under the bed that was still clean but had broken edges like jagged teeth, two wooden sticks of different sizes, which were considered a pair of chopsticks, Hu Er also took out a bowl similar to the one in Kong Ming's hand from under his bed, but it was a little better than Kong Ming's, and then walked out of the tent with Kong Ming. Outside the tent, the six people stood in a slight straight line, Kong Ming and Hu Er were making up for them, Kong Ming was still chatting with Hu Er about some things about today's training, but obviously there were people in the team who couldn't wait, a big man, a bearded Racha, the people in the class called him Niu, Niu shouted at the tent close at hand, "You two Wang Ba Dan, can you hurry up, wait for the next Zi Lao Tzu to eat, I will swallow you alive." ”

A ** person, slowly walked out of the tent, and said lazily to the cow, "What's the hurry, anyway, you can't starve to death, you eat the most in our class, I just need a little bit, don't you go early and go late?" These are quotas. "Hurry up, I can eat a little bit early, but there won't be anything when it's late,"

"You know how to eat, I didn't see your training better than mine, huh!"

"Stop arguing, turn right and go. The middle-aged man standing at the head of the line said, and the others stopped talking, and the people who followed behind the ** also followed the team. Dahan is a hunter in the neighboring village of Kongming, in his thirties, a third-level swordsman, called Liu Cheng, in addition to the coyote, his rank is the highest, and he is arrogant, eager and wise, is the deputy squad leader in the class, and he is usually responsible for managing the people in the class, whether it is training or life. Coyotes usually don't come to manage the class, and only when they are practicing in the phalanx will they see these noble lords. Kong Ming and the others followed Liu Cheng all the way to the canteen, saying that the canteen was actually just a grass room with a few things for cooking, and Kong Ming and the others only ate on the open space in front of the canteen, whether it was rain or wind. Kong Ming and the others came to a clearing, there was already a pot of rice and a pot of vegetables on the ground, the color of the rice was slightly yellowish, and the dishes were some ordinary dishes, the kind that was boiled in a pot, that is to say, this kind of thing was just to keep people from starving to death, not its taste. Liu Cheng took Kong Ming and they squatted down around the rice bowl, one by one to play a bowl of rice, when it was Kong Ming's turn, Kong Ming wiped the rice bowl with the dirty corner of his clothes, and after wiping the bowl a little clean, he directly stretched the bowl into the rice bowl to hit a bowl full of rice, and used the chopsticks to clamp some vegetables in the vegetable basin, put them in the bowl and ate them directly, and the others were the same, Kong Ming was holding the rice hard, his mouth was still chewing, his two cheeks were bulging, constantly trembling, while eating, he was constantly watching the process of others eating, obviously in terms of the speed of eating, Niu could be called the first in the class, when he finished eating, a bowl stretched out into the rice bowl to fight, only to see ** one hand covered in front of the cow, "How many times have I told you, you have to go to a public place to eat after eating, otherwise you will let us all starve to death??" Because he was still chewing rice in his mouth, his voice was very vague, but everyone knew what it meant, after the cow heard it, his bowl crossed an arc in the basin, hit a small half bowl of rice, and then ignored the angry eyes of the others, and ran to the public rice bucket where there were few people to grab the rice, when he returned to the class, all the meals had been eaten, and he didn't care, and quickly ate the bowl full of food that he had snatched after squatting. After Kong Ming finished eating, he didn't grab the rice in the pot again, after all, he was small and the amount of rice was small, although a bowl of rice was not full, but it was enough. Kong Ming took the bowl and walked to a stream, and used the bowl to swing from the oily debris, separating the oil from the debris, and then scooped a bowl of water with the tattered bowl, and quickly washed the dishes with two dirty hands, and washed his hands again after washing, and saw that the hands stained with oil seemed to be cleaned, and stood up to look at the pig-like people around him, without a trace of ripples in his heart, he was already used to this kind of scene, without the disgust that had just come, and there were many less scruples. Thinking of the day he first came, Kong Ming was very unaccustomed to this unhygienic life, but his movements were a little slower, he only ate a little bit of a meal, and the result was that he was hungry for a day, and no one here would pity a person who was not suitable for living here, because this was a military camp, not a shelter, not a charity, and would not pity you because you were hungry because of your hygiene, because the recruits who had just come did not know each other, and those nobles would not care about whether a commoner was fed, and why he was not fed。 Looking at the increasingly turbid stream, smelling a hint of the stream's overflowing water, Kong Ming shook his head and left the stream, heading back in the direction of the tent.

"Kong Ming, wait for me. Liu Cheng followed from behind.

"Brother Liu, what's the matter?" Kong Ming looked at Liu Cheng with a puzzled expression.

"You learned how to fight the old headhunter and Kasia today, didn't you?"

"Hmm!"

"What have you learned?"

"I don't know, but I just learned some basic methods of combat, and it may take a while to become proficient. ”

"Hmm!" Liu Cheng thought as he walked, "There is not so much time, you will go to Heniu this afternoon for real combat practice." After thinking about it, Liu Cheng said decisively.

"Why?" Kong Ming had a slight vigilance in his heart, but he didn't know why things were so sudden for a while, because they all knew that they were going to train here for a year, but listening to Liu Cheng's words, it seemed that things had changed somewhat, and sure enough, he only heard Liu Cheng say:" News came from the monkey, I heard those nobles say, now Kari's shape is more nervous, the empire may attack Kari at any time, so maybe we will go to the battlefield next month, I don't know where I go, you haven't participated in the training of the battle formation, this is not good, you start to train the day after tomorrow, otherwise you will not know your position on the battlefield, which is very dangerous. "The monkey is a person in Kongming's class, because he is relatively small and very clever, so he was selected by the coyote to be a servant for them, and as the eyes and ears of the nobles, he often reports some things in our class and team to the coyotes, but at the same time, he is also our eyes and ears, and tells us some of the news he heard from the nobles, which can be said to be a two-faced spy, but everyone acquiesces in his cunzài, and they all forget about his cunzài, mainly because the nobles need him to understand some things in the team and the class they don't know, so as to facilitate their management, and the monkey is our people here, and we need to use him to appease the nobles' hearts, saving them from having nothing to do, because he is a noble orderly, so subconsciously his role is selectively forgotten by us.

"Well, got it,"

"Niu is a power-type first-order swordsman, all his attacks are shown above his powerful hands, except for some basic skills, he has no more skills, because of the focus on the relationship of strength, so his pace of movement is a little slower than the average first-order sword, and your body is smaller, the strength is small, but your speed is a little faster than his, you have to make full use of your advantages and his disadvantages to fight him. Got it?"

Before Kong Ming could answer, he heard the sound of a cow in his ears. "You have to pay attention to this, Kong Ming, I will do my best to say that I will beat your ass high, haha!" he laughed to himself, as if he had seen Kong Ming swollen from his spanking.

"Well, I'll take care of it then, hehe, cow, and I'll beat you to the size of a real cow when the time comes. Ha ha. "I have to say that between the most grassroots soldiers, their friendship is the purest and precious, there is no trace of money in the world, there is no power struggle between people, they may have such and such contradictions between you and me, but they are brothers who can be back to back on the battlefield, ordinary people who rely on each other on the line of life and death, children who joke with each other in ordinary times, and people who sweat together on the training ground and bleed together on the battlefield. In the praise of no rhetoric, the silent group of people who trust each other. Of course, they still didn't realize this at this time, but in the past few months, they have eaten together, trained together, and developed a certain tacit understanding between each other.

"Hee-hee, if that's the case, let's try. He smiled and looked at Kong Ming, as if Kong Ming was already the piece of dough in his hand that he was ravaging on.

Several people in the class next to Kong Ming also laughed, the whole class of eleven people, except for the squad leader Coyote is a fourth-level swordsman, several people have passed the third-level swordsman, because the warrior fighting qi is a fighting spirit that improves quickly in the early stage, but the more difficult it is to improve, now in the class, except for Kong Ming and Niu are first-level swordsmen, the others are either second-level or third-level swordsmen, and Kongming is because his body is too weak, and he does not have the body to accommodate more fighting energy, and Niu is comprehension ability is too slow, there is no better way for him to master the fighting qi, so he has stayed at this level, while the others have already entered the ranks of second-level swordsmen, and Kong Ming only needs to work hard to completely enter the second-level swordsman. Because more than four months of military camp career has made him more robust and can accommodate more fighting energy, and his experience as a magician has made his spirit stronger than others, and it is easier to advance. In addition to Niu being able to bully others with his stature at the beginning, he can only bully Kong Ming now, and when he hears that someone can make him relive the feeling of being a strong man, how can he let go of this opportunity? But when he was still concerned about lewdness, he had not yet understood one point, that is, Kong Ming was the only one who had been bullied, so how could he not want to prove his strength with a battle? It can be said that this was an evenly matched battle, and this kind of battle itself could promote the progress of the two sides.

When the sun deviated from the middle of the sky again, Kong Ming and Niu both stood on the training ground in the class, each of them held a wooden stick, which was a simulated sword made of a sturdy wooden stick on the mainland, because the strength between the two was about the same, and they could not use the sword directly to train like Cassia and Kong Ming, otherwise one side would not control the zhì badly and there would be casualties, except for the wooden stick, there was no armor on the two of them, only after such actual combat, the warrior would know how to avoid injury on the battlefield or how to avoid the heavy and light。 The distance between the two was only five meters, and Kong Ming pointed to Niu and said, "Brother Niu, I have to pay off the sins of the past few months this time, how about it?"

"Haha, boy, don't just learn to be vindictive and think that you are a cow, let Brother Niu and I let you see what it means to be competent. After speaking, he rushed straight, holding the wooden stick with both hands is a straight split, and the space of five meters was gone all of a sudden, Kong Ming looked at him and slashed at his upper left, a left front side step to dodge the attack of the cow, and then pulled forward with his hand, and he was going to hit the lower abdomen of the cow with the wooden stick. When the cow saw it, he screamed, and the stick turned around in an arc and hit Kong Ming's right side, and Kong Ming had no choice but to stand up the stick, and the tip of the stick was tilted inward about thirty degrees. The cow's wooden stick hit the center of the empty stick, and slid down the wooden stick for a short while, because the force was too great, the cow did not have time to control the wooden stick, and the empty stick used the cow's wooden stick to slide down this time, the inner end of the wooden stick turned to the cow's lower abdomen, and a direct hit hit the cow's lower abdomen. After being attacked by Kong Ming, the cow naturally bent down, Kong Ming took advantage of a knee, hit the cow's buttocks, and pushed the cow towards him a little more, the cow gathered his own strength and Kong Ming's strength, and suddenly lost his control over his body, fell forward, and gnawed a mouthful of mud. A lot of laughter came from all around.

"Phew, phew. The cow got up from the ground, spit out, spit out the mud and sand in his mouth, patted the dust on his body with his hand, and the whole figure suddenly became a yellow cloud, and when the dust cleared, the cow smiled awkwardly, "Careless, careless." "It's not the first time Niu has fought against him, and of course it's not the first time he's faced with a scene like Kong Ming, but seeing that Kong Ming is participating in the battle practice in the class for the first time, he was a little careless. "Come again!" There was no more explanation, the cow shouted, to get Kong Ming's attention, Kong Ming looked at the cow's appearance, and made a fighting posture again, the cow waited until Kong Ming was ready, and then another sprint, the same wooden stick from his right top down, Kong Ming knew that if the same tactic was used, the success rate of knocking the cow down would be reduced, but he couldn't help but have some curiosity in his heart, wanting to see what moves the cow had to avoid the same attack. When Kong Ming was thinking, the cow's wooden stick had been split over, Kong Ming also took a step forward to the left, and the wooden stick went forward again in a pulling posture, but at this time the cow's attack changed, no longer straight down, but with the hand as the axis, from the other direction to Kong Ming, Kong Ming hurriedly lowered his posture, half squatted down, the cow's wooden stick from Kong Ming's head ten centimeters away, Kong Ming is to put the wooden stick on the head, and at the same time quickly insert the right foot into the center of the cow's two feet, trying to trample the cow, but unfortunately the cow didn't know how to jump up, the wooden stick retracted, stabbed out again, and stabbed straight to Kong Ming's body。 Kong Ming kicked to no avail, and immediately crossed the battle circle, stood up, adjusted his posture and prepared to fight again. It's a pity that Niu didn't give Kong Ming a chance to adjust, and used his strength to bully Kong Ming, and frantically launched a new round of attacks on Kong Ming with various sword skills, Kong Ming only struggled to resist, and used a useful opportunity to fight back against the cow. The strength of the cow, the agility of Kong Ming, the two of them showed what they had learned, they fought there for more than 20 minutes, when the two separated again, they were very tired, constantly panting, the cow's hands were still very calm, holding the wooden stick in his hand hard, and his feet stood firmly on the ground, but the empty eyes of his eyes, the sweat on his face and the yellow mud proved that he was not lightly tired, just because his strength far better than Kong Ming made him stabilize his figure, and Kong Ming held the wooden stick with trembling hands at this time, one end of the wooden stick touched the ground, his hand was no longer completely controlled by the wooden stick, and his legs were not so steady, but his eyes were still staring at the cow very attentively, as if it was still possible to fight. The strength of the ox is beyond his imagination, and in the face of absolute power, every collision with the ox makes his hands a lot of burden. Kong Ming had hit the cow more than once, but the thick skin defense of the cow was so good that it was like not feeling anything, and on the other hand, Kong Ming was only hit by the cow three times, which made Kong Ming feel a lot of burden, and the place where he was hit was painful.

"Brother Niu, you're really a fucking monster, you don't know the pain!" Kong Ming said to Niu with a wry smile.

"Haha, boy, you know the stakes, I'll just stand here and let you fight non-stop, I won't have a little bit of a problem. The cow barked triumphantly. In fact, Niu is a good candidate for that kind of swordsman with heavy swords and heavy armor, with great strength and thick skin. Although Kongmei's agility is fast, it also causes the disadvantage of insufficient attack power per unit area.

"Stop, you two come down and rest. Liu Cheng shouted beside him. "Huh" Kong Ming walked to a stone to the side and sat down, and let out a long breath, fighting with that cow was really tiring enough. Niu also sat next to him, Liu Cheng called two more people to go to the field to compete, and he himself walked over and sat on a stone.

"Tell me about your gains and losses in this competition. "As a hunter, reviewing your gains and losses is a good way to get more prey. Therefore, Liu Cheng often teaches the people in the class in this way, on the other hand, the coyote does not see anyone all day long.

"What's there to talk about, a tie is a tie, and next time I'm sure I'll win. Niu said very well, as if a tie was a great grievance for him. Liu Cheng didn't say much when he looked at Niu like this, because Niu is like this every time, and he is not good at summarizing the gains and losses of a battle, but the more battles he has passed, his body can naturally avoid many of the same combat actions like instinct, and he can also subconsciously learn the actions of others, but if you want him to say it, he will definitely not be able to say it.

Liu Cheng didn't care about Niu's reaction, because Niu has always been like this, even if you force him, he can't let out a fart, he turned his head to Kong Ming, "What about you?" Kong Ming thought about it, feeling that he hadn't digested the gains and losses in this battle at this time, and if he interrupted his thinking, he didn't know how long it would take to find that feeling, so he just shook his head, lowered his head, and continued to think about the gains and losses of this battle. After Liu Cheng saw it, he shook his head with a wry smile and went to watch the second competition. Kong Ming didn't notice Liu Cheng's departure, and Niu also consumed a lot in this battle, so he wisely chose to be silent, and Kong Ming also got some rest time for the time being, to think about this battle. There is no doubt that Niu is very strong, this is only relative to people who are also first-order swordsmen, but one of the bad things about being strong is that because his attention is all put into strength, so he is also the slower kind of swordsman among the swordsmen of the same level, and Kong Ming is relatively small and has small strength, so he can only take the agile route for the time being, of course, in order to improve his attack power, he must improve his strength, if there is no strength, then it is always impossible to split the sword into the enemy's body, and then Niu has been fighting for several months, although he has not summed up his own way of fighting, but due to the long-term battle, making his battle an instinct, so if Kong Ming wants to defeat him, he must pay attention to two things, one is to continue to be faster than him in speed, and the other is to increase strength training, only in this way can he win the bull, of course, in this process, Kong Ming must also try to break through the second-level swordsman, because the warrior's fighting spirit is indeed very fast for the breakthrough of low-level swordsmen. Thinking about it, Kong Ming thought of Kasia's training method, which was to constantly compete with higher-level swordsmen, so as to improve his combat level. Kong Ming learned a lot from the old headhunter, and the teaching battle with Kasia can be said to be a leapfrog battle, but Kasia's level is too high for Kong Ming to feel his improvement, so what Kong Ming needs is to improve his swordsmanship in the same way as Kasia, and the competition with the cow is undoubtedly the best way to get progress tips. Thinking of this, Kong Ming calmed his mind a little, and quickly meditated to recover his fighting spirit as quickly as possible. Prepare for another fight. For soldiers, every day, they only need to have a challenge battle of the same level or skipping the rank, but Kong Ming is undoubtedly an exception. When the sun was in the west, Kongming's fighting spirit had completely recovered, and there was even some obvious progress. Picking up the wooden stick, Kong Ming pointed to the cow and said, "Brother Niu, come again." ”

Obviously, the cow also looked completely recovered, and he grinned, "Enjoyable!" Without saying a word, he picked up the wooden stick and rushed over, in Kong Ming's opinion, the cow's style is this trick, there is no more new ideas, but Kong Ming no longer intends to go with the cow to fight his best strength, Kong Ming wants to win this battle with his agility, because the last battle because of the strength with the cow so that Kong Ming mixed his body is sore, no place is good, if you compare the strength with the cow, it will let the cow fly away in less than three times, so Kong Ming has to rely on his own strengths of the cow, that is, speed, only speed is the capital of Kong Ming's battle against the cow。 Watching the cow rush over, at the moment when the cow was splitting, Kong Ming's upper body was on the defensive, and the next plate was three steps back, the cow's stick was directly chopped over, the top of the wooden stick was crossed from half a meter in front of Kong Ming, but the fighting spirit flew straight over, Kong Ming turned sideways, a stick was inserted into the side of the cow's wooden stick close to the hand, and then used a stick to pick up, the cow took a belt with the trend, and then the wooden stick quickly went forward horizontally, hit the cow's abdomen, the cow's body bent, and went forward a meter, and then fell to the ground and lost Kong Ming did not use too much force, but the cow couldn't get up, covered his stomach with both hands, and scolded Kong Ming on the ground。 Liu Cheng, who was on the side, saw this scene, and they really couldn't believe this fact, because it was not easy for even a second-level swordsman to defeat Niu, but Kong Ming knocked down Niu at once. Kong Ming looked at the cow on the ground, stretched out his right hand to him, the cow grabbed Kong Ming's right hand, pulled Kong Ming down, and put down Kong Ming without the slightest preparation, Kong Ming fell to the ground, sat up and looked at the cow standing in front of him, the cow was very proud, after all, Kong Ming made him depressed for a day, and the soldiers next to him were also looking at Kong Ming and the cow, while laughing wildly there. Looking at the cow's outstretched right hand, Kong Ming grabbed it, and then wanted to draw a scoop with a gourd, but he didn't pull the cow for half a minute, and those who watched saw it laughed even louder. Kong Ming stood up under the pull of the cow with a wry smile, patted off the dust on his body, picked up the wooden stick on the ground, and quickly made a fighting posture against the cow, the cow saw that Kong Ming was coming again, and hurriedly retreated, Kong Ming saw that the goal had been achieved, put the stick on his shoulder, and looked at the nervous cow with a bad smile, those who laughed so happily laughed even more happily, only the cow was embarrassed, and finally turned into a wry smile. After the people in the class saw that the fight had ended, everyone came over one after another to discuss the gains and losses of this battle. Although Niu was very depressed and fought a battle, but after he competed with Kong Ming, he broke through the first-level barrier and reached the standard of a second-level swordsman, and the warrior's fighting spirit deserved to be the easiest to cultivate. And Kong Ming is the first time to have a battle of the same level with someone who is equivalent to himself, so he has learned some things that should be paid attention to, which is not something that someone can understand, this is something that must be experienced by himself, to fight, and to grope to truly become his own.
