Chapter 4 The Baptism of the Heavenly Road, the Southern Expedition Begins!
The war is about to begin.
The army is preparing, and Vondolph also needs to make two preparations.
First things first, rock climbing.
The steep and winding Jewel Bay.
The rocks are bare and moss-stained, like the Qiangtang Plateau where the air is thin.
Bang!
The waterfall has a majestic roar, as if a giant is looking up to the sky and laughing.
The rock wall was steep and sharp as a knife, and Vondolph stood in front of him, as small as an ant.
The weak human body cannot be compared with the magnificence of nature.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Mao Luo couldn't help but say, "Master."
Valentina grabbed her.
Big Wool shook her head at her, and then came to Vondolph with a flask.
Vondolph rubbed his fingers with alcohol to clean sweat and dirt, and finally applied a layer of rosin powder to dust off the excess.
After a few moments of finger movement, Vondolph's fingertips touched the first small bump on the rock wall.
He closed his eyes, and after countless exercises for most of the past six months, he reappeared with the visual mental image, an illusory figure climbing on the rock wall.
At first, there was the weightlessness and suffocation of the fall, and soon the figure became more and more proficient in each of the thousand movements on the line.
The feeling of every touch, the feeling of stepping on every foot, the speed, direction and angle of every movement
Everything was crystal clear, and the phantom had reached the top, looking down below.
Call!
Black eyes opened, overlapping with the phantom gaze, burning with the same wildfire of conquest.
Feng Dolph exerted his upper limbs, stepped on two rock points one after another with his feet, and the tiny ants got rid of gravity and climbed towards the sky little by little!
Five meters
Ten meters
Fifteen meters.
Under the cliffs.
Brünnhilde held his twin daughters in his arms and couldn't help but hold his breath.
She could hear Margaret and Blue whispering beside her, "Lonely and free souls."
Silverilocks don't have as good literature as priestesses and shamans to lament.
She just shook her daughter silently and whispered, "Come on Dad." ”
Twin baby girls with black and silver hair open their eyes.
In two pairs of beautiful purple eyes, the figure climbing towards the sky was reflected.
They squirmed twice, as if they understood Brünnhilde's words.
"Spiritual pursuits and beliefs that transcend materiality."
Ingrid, who had nothing to do, looked at the series of white palm prints on the rock wall with gray eyes, like a ladder to the sky.
The inner impression was refreshed again, and I subconsciously compared my husband, and then the result was obtained.
Call~
Before I knew it, half an hour passed.
At an altitude of 100 meters, Vondolph lay on an almost vertical rock wall, his fingers embedded in the crevices, and he struggled to move on the undulating concave and convex surface of the rock wall.
The body is like being squeezed by the mountain until it crushes you.
But the people who conquered the mountains this time did not even breathe once.
In just half a year, Feng Dolph's body has grown rapidly, and he already looks stronger than an adult Viking.
Under the newborn sun, with every breath, the shoulders and backs are pulling the body up, like a blooming butterfly, full of masculinity.
Conquer the chasm, and in front of you is a long boulder that forms a very narrow space with the rock wall.
The only point of focus is the curling of the stone and the depression of the stone crevice, and it is necessary to use two fingers to support the weight of the body.
It is a heavenly path several meters long, and it is also the most difficult route in the end.
Feng Daofu left hand down, right hand up, fingers to break the gap between the rock wall and the boulder, lower limbs, waist and abdomen, step by step upward.
The contact area between the toe and the rock wall is only the size of a small fingernail.
If there is the slightest mistake, the balance disappears in an instant.
Just thinking about it made the legs of Ingrid and the others below weak.
Time was passing quietly, and everyone was too nervous to look at it.
Feng Dolph's footsteps became slower and slower, and he could feel the burning pain in his fingers, like grains of rice stuck under the millstone of life.
The physical strength is rapidly depleted, and sweat soaks the cheeks and the whole body.
It seems that someone is saying in my ears: Stop, take a break, aren't you afraid of pain? It's a good day, but what a sin to suffer!
Boom!
The heart beats strongly.
The sound of flowing water gurgling in the veins is like a mountain spring, washing away all sounds.
Feng Daofu suddenly came back to his senses, he had already crossed the heavenly road, and he was only one step away from reaching the top.
Click!
Grabbing the crevice at the top of the mountain with a powerful palm, Vondolph climbed the tortoise.
A gentle breeze blew from the top of the mountain, and Vondolph looked back at the way he came.
A fiery red sun, along the coast are volcanic rocks tens of millions of years ago, eroded into pebbles by the sea, which look like a chain from a distance, and the towering ridge is like a strong line of defense.
The rivers in the town have all become shrunken pictures, hazy in the light mist, as if real and illusory.
This naturally carved pulpit seems to lead to another sacred world.
Overlooking the Jewel Bay, overlooking the vast world, enjoying the beauty of nature's gifts in silence, Vondolph's heart suddenly swelled with a surging heroism.
At that moment, a dozen ascetics approached.
"Sage."
The leader held an oak two-handed sword and handed it over with reverence.
The second thing is to practice swords.
Feng Daofu grabbed the hilt of the sword, closed his eyes, and bare his upper body, his senses catching the movement.
After his actual test, the blind swordsman was deified, and when his vision was limited, it was impossible to accurately capture the movement by hearing alone, and the main way to find the opponent was to rely on touch.
Only by using the two-handed sword as a limb extension to extend one's touch range.
The sword pulses, a silent round, scanning the surrounding outlines.
In a dark world, the senses become sharper.
The roar of the waterfall, the breath of the mountain wind, and the ethereal song of the maiden: "The keel hull, sweeping the endless waves." ”
Call!
There was an ascetic who moved!
Just like thunder in the night, it sounded in silence.
The ascetic who rushed in was about to swing his wooden sword when he suddenly saw the black-haired sage with his eyes closed tilting his head towards him and smiling.
The ascetic's pupils suddenly shrank like the eye of a needle.
Bang!
The waterfall cascades down, hitting the stones and splashing water droplets.
Among the broken petals, there was a brilliant sword light!
There was a muffled thud, and the ascetic clutched his aching chest and staggered back to the side.
After completing the baptism of heaven, he can still stab such a fast sword. The ascetic watched the one-sided battle in horror and adoration.
"The hull of the ship is far from the cold current of the fjord, the jackdaw sweeps over my vast territory, war songs, legends, everything is destined."
The ultimate in mystery and darkness, a distant and clear echo.
Clang!
The sound of gold and iron.
An ascetic barely blocked the big sword, but the force transmitted to his arm burst incomparably, and he was directly stiffened by a sword sweep!
He hadn't recovered yet, and Vondolph had already raised his arm to slash again.
The whistling sound of the air was like an explosion.
The ascetic forcibly raised his sword, and the next moment he directly pressed down with the sword, and felt the sliding of the tip of the wooden sword in his throat.
He shook his head and walked out consciously.
"I am a strong shield and a spear, sharing weal and woe, plundering mortal enemies, and we are all working together!"
Two other ascetics went into battle.
As soon as he stepped forward, a terrifying sweep was already close at hand.
invariably raised his sword to parry, and the posture that was directly crushed by the force was deformed.
Before they could adjust, they saw the black-haired Sage swinging a dozen slashes with his backhand, like a spinning helicopter propeller.
The faces of the two changed at the same time, but they were helpless, and they were kicked out of the field without holding on for a while.
"Broken sails, swaying in the sea of blood, the battlefield of Shura, blood-stained glory, the corner of the shield is shattered, turned into wood chips!"
One ascetic after another fell.
Feng Daofu swirled and danced the sword with his right leg as the center, and the muscles of his whole body swam like a python, shaking out countless atomized sweat as he moved.
Like a mountain rock that bears a waterfall, it has become more condensed by the washing of time.
"As mortal iron, tempered into steel, the evening bell rings when the flame rises, and I meet Io with glory, golden light, holy sound, we are like gods, Asgard is calling!"
Feng Daofu suddenly understood.
You don't care where the enemy is, you just need to take a step and swing your sword.
When you have the advantage of crushing, great strength, strong physical fitness, and good coordination, you can do whatever you want.
A two-handed sword with an attack range advantage is as simple and crude as it can be used.
This is the integration of offense and defense, the sword of the strong!
- It's another thing to run into a spear.
Bang!
The last ascetic fell.
Feng Dolph opened his eyes, and the news came from the panel just in time.
"Completion of the Io-O Pilgrim's Baptism"
"Run up!"
"Gain Specialty - Energetic (HP Regen +10%, HP Penalty -20%)"
"Hands up!"
"Gain Specialty - Sword Master (Strength +1, Two Handed Weapon Damage +10%)"
"Detection upgraded!"
"Gain Specialty - Keen Eyes (-50% penalty for vision difficulty, -50% chance for captives to escape)"
In the ascetic's eyes as he looked at the gods.
Cliffs, waterfalls, red sun, ocean.
Feng Dolph opened his arms, laughed and let go of his singing: "Over the storm and thunder, only glory accompanies you!" ”
"Echoes of eternity, Valhalla is calling me!"
You're all set!
At the beginning of July, the weather was clear, the day of the southern expedition.
Inside the carriage, three hairnuts were putting on armor for Vondolph.
This is more than half a year, Feng Daofu carefully created the entry full body armor.
"Enhanced Full Body Armor (Defense +4)"
First, they put on their armor and had many straps on them to tie the sheet metal parts, and they also had chain mail pieces sewn under the armpits and elbows.
The front and rear large armor plates, the armor is painted black and trimmed with gold, which looks oppressive.
The protrusion of the chest and abdomen is increased, and the entire defense surface is no longer close to the body, which greatly enhances the comfort and has a fairly spacious buffer space, which can better disperse the impact force with deformation, so that the defense ability is greatly increased.
The shoulders are a wide shoulder armor that is directly connected to the breastplate by means of leather strips and hinges, which protects the fragile shoulder and minimizes the restriction of shoulder movement.
The leg armor has a movable ring armor skirt, which covers the weakness at the junction of the body armor and the leg armor without hindering physical activity at all, and can also be protected by ordinary sword slashes.
The gloves use a lobster hand for two-handed swords, similar to boxing gloves, with first-class protection, and a hard baffle is installed in the skirt to protect the wrist, which is more protective than a full-finger glove.
All are lined to prevent the plates of the armor from rubbing against each other and to ensure the comfort of the armor.
After the adjustment, the big mulberry attached a golden crown to the helmet that resembled a high crown of the pope, a silk crepe satin black robe on the armor, and an A-line necklace around his neck.
Vondolph pulled on his mask and glanced at the long, thin black visor that looked like a V-shaped in the glass of the carriage.
The overall reference to the Milan Armor is also a bit like the Los Rick Knight Armor, with some improvements.
There are many disadvantages, such as the helmet affects the vision and senses, the lobster hand has a limited opening range, and the grip feeling is average.
The former relies on specialization - the immunity of the sharp-eyed, and after the bonus, it basically does not affect the command of the army.
The latter has a specialization - a master of swordsmanship, as well as a control bonus for several specialties, which can be compensated for by these minor flaws.
After more than half a year of adjustment, the final finished product perfectly conforms to the design drawing.
Feng Dolph said: "My invention is becoming more and more useful. ”
Unfortunately, there are not enough qualified workers, and production capacity is limited.
After saving up for more than half a year, he could only equip the most elite fifty ascetics with plate armor, and the other two-handed heavy infantry still used plate armor.
In addition to qualified steel, plate armor also needs qualified sheet metal craftsmen.
Plate armor is a good thing, but it's a pity that it's a little expensive.
When discussing plate armor, many people like to describe the protection according to the thickened cuirass of the musketeers, and when describing the price, they change it to the cheapest large white infantry armor.
The plate armor wasn't that perfect, but it also didn't have significant flaws.
Some people who like to talk about plate armor maintenance, according to Feng Dolph's strength test, with all his axe, the armor plate will be directly dented, and the hammer can be knocked back on the spot.
This thing is cold-forged sheet metal, just like a knife bent and straightened, you can continue to cut people, and the armor plate is concave and hammered back, as long as the toughness is okay, you can continue to use it.
After adjusting his attire, Vondolph got out of the car, took the Valkyries, and under the fanatical gaze of the First Brigade and the people, he came all the way to the coastal cliff.
Ringing the bell three times, Feng Dolph said loudly: "God Io, our Father, today, your children are about to lead their army in a desperate battle against the blonde mad king, please protect us as overcomers." ”
As the words fell, he came to the selected reindeer sacrifice.
Facing the sea at the end of the world, Feng Daoff bent down and stretched out his hands, and in the midst of everyone's attention, he forcibly lifted a reindeer weighing one or two hundred kilograms!
Under the sun.
The sturdy figure holding the reindeer high, like a giant who supports the sky in mythology!
The feeling of power that came to everyone's face made everyone tremble and hold their breath.
Until he watched Feng Daofu throw the reindeer onto the altar, end his life with a sword, cut open the abdomen and take out the internal organs, and said loudly: "Good omen!" ”
Eager cheers and applause broke out completely.
When ——!
The long and majestic nine bells rang throughout the bay, and everyone was excited and happy all the way to the pier.
More than 100 warships were densely packed in the harbor, and a large number of carpenters, stonemasons, blacksmiths, farriers and other logistics personnel were the first to board the ship.
They will be tasked with the duties of armor makers, archers, and engineers.
and other supplies were arranged, and the soldiers of the 1st Brigade also boarded the ship in an orderly manner.
Vondolf took Brünnhilde and Ava to the boat last.
He stood on the bow of the boat and looked out at the ocean, watching the people enthusiastically holding flower baskets and scattering flowers.
Sunshine, flowers, bells.
The black-clothed golden-crowned sage raised his long sword: "Go to sea!" Expedition to the South! ”
Thanks to the 100 points of 'incredibilis' and 'Hidden pseudo-darkness'.
Thank you for your appreciation, commuter passes, and recommended tickets.
This chapter is harder to write than I expected, but fortunately it grinds out, and there will be another chapter later, liver up!
