Chapter Eighty-Four: Training for War [IV.]

The pursuit of strength is the goal that every soldier will not change throughout his life, and it is the motivation for soldiers to become stronger, and one day when you take up arms to defend the glory of the country and your own dignity, you will naturally understand the meaning of the strength of strength. If one day your power can control the fate of this country, you must put an end to the needless war, child.

This sentence was said in his ear by the old man with tears in his eyes when Kraft's long-dead grandfather left the village to go to the battlefield. At that time, the sub-human tribe invaded the border of the Anasta kingdom, and the line of fire was urgent, and all the adult men in the kingdom were pulled to the forward position to resist the attack of the sub-human race. Kraft's parents and two older brothers died in the line of fire, leaving only his grandfather and him to rely on each other, but the relentless war did not stop, and the torrent of war needed to use endless lives to win the so-called fruits of victory.

That year, Kraft was six years old and orphaned.

Becoming a powerful warrior and relying on his own strength to turn the scales of fortune around, Kraft gradually became silent. His long childhood was accompanied only by an axe to chop wood while the other children frolicked, and every morning his lonely figure would appear in the grove behind the village, swinging the axe according to the basic moves taught by his grandfather in his memory, day after day, year after year.

Three years later, the war finally ended, but only two survivors who could return to the village alive, and they escaped with missing arms and legs, the two spent three days to distribute the pension to every family, one life and one gold coin, Kraft's scarred little hand held the five gold coins tightly, his eyes were red and looked into the distance, he held back his tears and engraved the name of his family on the five gold coins, and came to the cemetery in the mountain behind the village overnight, buried the five gold coins in the grave pit reserved for his family by his grandfather, and then erected the tombstone that had been carved early on it, Kraft kowtowed three times, silently made a vow, and left。

Two years later, eleven-year-old Kraft was able to hunt fierce beasts alone, and countless wolves and tigers died under his axe, when he used his savings to exchange his savings from the mercenary guild for a steel giant axe, the smile that had never been shown in five years bloomed on his little face for the first time, because the moment he held the giant axe, the memory of the backwater finally brought a trace of waves, and the memories of his relatives in childhood came to mind like a marquee, especially the time when he was dependent on his grandfather, so that he couldn't help but shed tears for the first time, and it was from that moment that the giant axe became an irreplaceable existence in Kraft's life。

Giant Axe Kraft!

This is the villagers' usual name for Kraft, this child who swings a giant axe and keeps chopping into the air all day long, people have long been surprised, someone once asked Kraft, why do you only practice splitting, picking, stabbing, and chopping a few actions all day long, Kraft's answer makes everyone speechless: "Practical!"

Time flies, in the blink of an eye, Kraft is sixteen years old, ten years of practicing basic combat skills has made his whole person become as deep as water, an indescribable majesty inadvertently revealed from every body movement, in the words of the older generation in the village, this is far better than the murderous killing intent, you can put people to death with a gesture, practice makes perfect, the giant axe in Kraft's hand may be better than the embroidery needle in the hand of the skillful girl, there is a feeling of unity.

On a late autumn morning, Kraft came to the cemetery in the back mountain again with a giant axe on his back, respectfully kowtowed to the tombstone of his family three times, took out the liquor in his arms and sprinkled it in front of the tombstone, and then sat down, a pair of calloused hands gently stroked the tombstone, and murmured: "Tomorrow I will be a warrior, grandpa, I will definitely fulfill your request." ”

The next day, Kraft left the village and went to Delt County to sign up for the Anasta Frontier Garrison, where he successfully passed the exam with his skillful basic skills, but did not attract the attention of the examiners. After a month of simple training, Kraft followed the border garrison to the border of the Anasta Kingdom and the sub-human tribe to set up defenses, after three years of border guerrilla warfare, the sub-human tribe could not eat the king of Anasta, and the war with the elves was urgent, so they had to set up countless poisonous traps on the border line to force back the enemy soldiers, and then withdrew a large number of garrison troops to support the war with the elves. After a period of stalemate, after determining that the sub-humans would not cross the border line to attack the Anasta Kingdom in a short period of time, they also withdrew nearly seventy percent of the border garrison, and the war between the two races gradually subsided. When Kraft was nineteen years old, although he made some achievements in border warfare, he was too young to be assigned to the outpost on the outpost of the Lion Crusader City, and became an ordinary sentry, belonging to the Kingdom Garrison Legion.

However, driven by the chakras of history, Kraft's fate is destined to be entangled and collided with the kingdom of Anasta, fate does not allow him to live in obscurity and plainness, when Rachel fell from the sky, fate gradually began to guide him to a path of his own, and the most important turning point was in this night full of killing and redemption.

Under the main gate of the city of the Lion Warrior Crusader, the fierce battle between Kraft and Alan Hall officially kicked off, when Kraft presented the afterimage technique of the life-saving trick at the bottom of the box in front of everyone's eyes, Alan Hall was also aroused by Kraft's fighting intent, and the strongest combat skill was shot with a burst of light, which was bound to completely polish Kraft's sharpness, and then use means to absorb Kraft into the Black Rock Skull Guard.

Around the city gates, as Allen Hall unleashed his earth-shattering tactics, a sharp blade of energy was constantly ravaging the dilapidated buildings on both sides of the street, leaving terrible scratches between the broken bricks and tiles from time to time. And what made Kraft's heart even more palpitating, every time he took a step towards Alan Hall, the air around his body seemed to become more viscous, and the feeling was like being trapped in the middle of quicksand, and his body was torn by countless invisible pulls, as if he was about to cut himself into countless pieces.

And when Alan Hall jumped high and raised the golden giant sword that pierced through the sky and slashed down at Kraft with all his might, the buildings around the main city gate collapsed and collapsed, and the strong wind pressure directly suppressed Kraft's body on the surface and couldn't move, and the corpses that were originally smoking around were pressed into the ground one by one at this time, and then there were countless crisp cracking sounds and clouds of black smoke and dust, but it was the sound of bones that had been burning for a long time being crushed into powder.

"Throw away your axe, I'll spare you from death!" Alan Hall's majestic voice suddenly came from mid-air, and the rapidly slashed golden greatsword obviously paused in mid-air for a moment.

Kraft had already withdrawn the afterimage technique at this time, two giant axes were plunged straight into the ground, the blue tendons on his forehead were exposed, and he was struggling to support his body from falling, when he suddenly heard Alan Hall's persuasion, his eyes were red with anger, and he gritted his teeth and looked up at Alan Hall who was like a god in mid-air, Kraft took a deep breath, held the giant axe tightly with both hands, and slowly squatted down, and all the strength of his body urged the valley to his legs, and the ground that had been cracked and shattered was directly concave at this time, forming a circular shallow pit.

"Kill !!"

When Kraft felt that the surging fighting intent in his body was enough to destroy all obstacles in front of him, he stomped his right foot violently, and a half-human deep pit appeared instantly, with the help of this powerful recoil force, Kraft pumped his hands with all his strength, pulled out two giant axes and threw his chest back and burst out with a roar, and then the two giant axes blocked in front of his body, and the whole person turned into a stream and rushed towards Alan Hall.

"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up for me!!" Kraft rushed forward at a rapid pace, while calculating the best attack point, when the galloping Kraft was getting closer and closer to Alan Hall, a ray of silver light seemed to flash in the golden light in front of him, it was here, Kraft immediately made a decision, the monstrous killing intent finally broke out at this time, the figure running forward instantly stopped and then spun his body and jumped high, the two giant axes held the whirling force of the body one after the other, and turned into a cloud of silver light and shot directly towards the golden light.

Seeing that Kraft could still attack in such a desperate situation, the corners of Alan Hall's mouth flashed with a smile, but after seeing his intention to attack, he said angrily: "I can't help myself!" The golden giant sword blasted directly towards the silver light without a trace of hesitation.

Then, a dazzling light instantly illuminated most of the Battle Lion Crusader City, and the civilians who were originally fleeing for their lives stopped and looked in the direction of the light, only to see countless golden and silver rays of light intertwined in the dim night sky, like bright fireworks in the night sky, for a long time. A moment later, a violent collision air rushed out of the alley in all directions, taking countless debris with it and flying straight into the sky, sweeping half of the royal city.

"Let's go and see!" was the first thought on everyone's mind, something terrible must have happened in the direction of the main city gate.

At this time, the main city gate, Allen Hall's powerful move directly blasted out a bottomless ravine, countless houses and buildings disappeared without a trace, it is hard to imagine that this place was one of the most prosperous streets in the entire Lion War Crusader City a day ago, but at this moment, it has become a ruin.

Alan Hall floated in mid-air, looking at his masterpiece expressionlessly, he was not worried at all that Constantine XI would blame himself for destroying the royal city, but at this time there was a surge of anger in his heart, he raised the knight's giant sword in his hand and put it flat on his chest, about one-third of the sword body at the front end was cut off by Kraft, looking at the broken giant sword, Alan Hall felt that he had been slapped hard, as a high-level pinnacle existence, he was actually cut off by a non-rank martial artist。

Thinking of this, Alan Hall paused, but looked at the ruins in front of him, and said that the little soldier who dared to offend him must be bombarded to slag, so he smiled helplessly, and wanted to throw the knight's giant sword aside.

Suddenly, a green ball of light lit up in the ruins, and the tender green light represented the healing technique that everyone was familiar with, could it be that the little soldier was not dead? Alan Hall shook his head in disbelief, and once again grasped the knight's greatsword and flew in the direction of the light cluster.

After a while, Alan Hall arrived at the top of the green light cluster, only to see a figure in a white priest's robe who was engrossed in casting healing techniques, and beside her lay a scarred wounded person who was Kraft who had cut off his weapon, Alan Hall raised his eyebrows, and suddenly surged with monstrous killing intent, and slowly pulled out the knight's giant sword, the fighting spirit in his body ran rapidly, and the sword body slowly emitted golden light, and he was determined to kill this little soldier who humiliated his face.

Suddenly, a really violent sound came from the ruins not far away, only to see a very large vine break through the ground, the thick stem vine formed an irregular circular protective layer, when the stem slowly dispersed, Cohen's thin figure appeared in front of Alan Hall's eyes, and Princess Sylvana was also held by Cohen unharmed, not injured at all.

Cohen looked at the ruins in front of him, sighed, and said, "Fortunately, I buried the seeds of this giant vine nearby at that time, otherwise something would have happened." At this time, Cohen saw Alan Hall floating in the air not far away and Xuelu who was treating Kraft, and then looked at Alan Hall's knight giant sword that exuded infinite murderous aura, Cohen's heart tightened for no reason, and quickly put down Sylvana, and after a few ups and downs, he landed in the ruins, pulled out the blade of light redemption, and hurriedly rushed towards Alan Hall.

"It's late!" Alan Hall glanced at Cohen, who was hurrying towards him, and smiled disdainfully, then raised the knight's greatsword in his hand, and the golden light lit up again, and he was about to slash down on the ground with Snow Dew and Kraft. "Don't!!" Cohen exclaimed, watching the glittering golden sword slash down without hesitation.

"Stop, Alan Hall!!" a crisp voice suddenly sounded, and then Alan Hall watched as a chubby figure stumbled in front of the priest, opening two chubby little hands to stop there.

Exactly Elvis!
