Chapter 221: Basic Training

The meal was spent in such a pleasant atmosphere, Candita asked Icke not to go back tonight, and there were some smiles on his face that the two children couldn't understand, although he was a little puzzled, but he didn't think much about it, after all, Ike often spent the night at Lance's house!

"Wake up early tomorrow and tell you something!"

Candita yawned and finished speaking to Icke and Lance before heading back to her room, leaving only the two with excited eyes!

......

"Great, Lance, thank you Uncle Candita!

Lying on the bed, Ike, who didn't feel sleepy at all, said to Lance, who was also so excited that he couldn't sleep!

"Ike, you say, will we be heroes like the 'Seven Warriors'?"

Lance turned over and pushed Ike beside him, asking with some uncertainty in his heart.

"Lance, we're going to be heroes like the Seven Warriors! Tomorrow we're going to tell Grandpa Laurie the good news. Ike and Lance chuckled quietly as they looked forward to the future.

"When we become heroes, there will be bards like Grandpa Laurie who will sing about our deeds!"

"We're heroes in the future, and we'll have to let Brooke know!"

"Protect the continent of Costana!"

"Protecting the Weak ......"

After whispering for a long time, the two children with heroic dreams gradually fell asleep in excitement......

The next morning, the warm sunshine of the Southern Kingdom sprinkled in the courtyard of Lance's house, the early summer sun was not so hot, and it was very comfortable to shine on the body, just like the mood of Ike and Lance at the moment, everything felt extraordinarily wonderful, and even the air seemed to be sweet!

Looking at the two children who were exceptionally well-behaved today, Candita was a little amused in her heart: "I will have to suffer for you in the future!"

Candita didn't rush to explain to them the techniques of practicing swordsmanship today, but just introduced them to some common knowledge of the Kestana continent.

Although he knew that Ike and Lance had heard some from Uncle Laurie, it was not comprehensive, and the two children of Ike and Lance would always have to go out in the future, and it was still necessary for them to know this common sense.

After all, having a correct judgment of strength can indeed save them a lot of danger and unnecessary trouble!

There are two types of warriors on the continent of Kostana, one is a warrior monk and the other is a sorcerer.

Wizarding can be said to be a very rare profession, and it can also be said to be a very rare race, and if you want to become a wizard, you must have the blood of a wizard.

There are some ancient wizarding families with the purest wizard blood, pure wizard blood can have high achievements in the wizarding profession, and the other is a half-blood wizard, usually the descendants of a combination of wizards with wizard blood and ordinary people, and the concentration of wizard blood in their bodies determines their achievements in witchcraft.

Some wizards with low blood concentrations often choose to become martial arts monks at the same time, and the dual cultivation of witchcraft and martial arts can be regarded as a way to trick up, which can improve combat effectiveness to a certain extent, but it is difficult to have great achievements.

And martial arts cultivation is much simpler, just take a weapon and practice hard, but it is not so easy to become a powerful martial artist.

The most important thing on the Kstana continent is the martial monks, but there are still very few high-level martial monks, and it is already very good to be able to become a great martial cultivator with hard work, if he can become a martial king or a martial saint, then he will receive the highest honor on the Kstana continent.

As for the Martial God, that's a legend!

Martial monks are generally divided into: Martial Monk Apprentice - Beginner Martial Monk - Senior Martial Monk - Great Martial Monk - Martial King - Martial Saint - Martial God!

Wizards are generally divided into: wizard apprentice - beginner wizard - advanced wizard - great wizard - witch king - witch saint - witch god!

And the idols in the minds of Ike and Lance, the "Seven Warriors", are all in the martial saint stage!

"Ike, Lance, you're now officially apprenticed as a warrior. Warriors can choose any kind of weapon, they can choose bows and arrows, hammers, axes, swords and daggers, and you can only choose to use swords at the moment!"

Candita played with a stick in her hand and paced back and forth in front of Ike and Lance!

"Why?" asked Ike and Lance in unison!

"Because your father wields a sword, and your idols use a sword!" Candita laughed out loud when she finished speaking, and was attacked by both Ike and Lance at the same time!

After the laughter, Candita instantly returned to normal.

"If you want to learn a sword, you must first understand the sword!"

Candita said earnestly, and began to tell the two children in detail about the types of swords on the continent of Kostana!

The swords on the Kstana continent have a variety of shapes and a wide range of uses, and the mainstream swords are divided into four types, long swords, short swords, stabbing swords and big swords!

Long sword: also known as the hand half sword, mainly held in both hands, but can also be used for one-handed combat, can be used on the battlefield, can also be used for self-defense, versatile, easy to carry, is the most widely used weapon on the continent of Kostana, "Seven Warriors" they use this kind of long sword.

The longsword usually weighs between 2.5 pounds and four pounds, is between three and four feet long, and has a counterweight ball on the hilt that can be used as a blunt weapon to attack.

When holding a sword in one hand, you can also equip it with a shield as a defense, or equip it with a short sword to increase your attack.

Short sword: slightly longer than the dagger, usually used for decoration or self-defense, generally used as a spare sword, usually some warriors who use swords will be equipped with a long sword and a short sword, one long and one short cooperate with each other, and there will be a miraculous effect between attack and defense.

The weight of a short sword is generally between 1.5 pounds and 2 pounds, and the length is generally about 2 feet!

Stabbing Sword: Mostly used by some assassins or warriors who rarely fight head-on, it is generally used with one hand, and the extremely thin sword body gives it a strong piercing ability.

The weight of the bayonet sword is generally between two pounds and three and five pounds, and the length is generally between four feet and five feet, of which the blade is more than three feet to more than four feet long, and when held in one hand, his attack range exceeds that of a long sword!

Broadsword: A giant long sword used on the battlefield, usually between five and six feet in length and weighing about seven pounds, mainly focusing on chopping, wide opening and closing is the main attack method of this weapon, and it is a power-based battlefield harvesting weapon, and the disadvantage is that it is not flexible.

However, with enough power, this is an extremely terrifying killing weapon!

Candita carefully explained to Ike and Lance the mainstream sword weapons in the Kstana continent, and from time to time used a wooden stick to draw a rough pattern on the ground, which made Ike and Lance's eyes shine.

No one had ever said it in such detail, and Candita's explanation seemed to open the door to a new world for them.

"Usually a warrior would choose to equip a short sword as a secondary weapon or use it in conjunction with a long sword. The dagger is light and flexible, and when used properly, it can have unexpected effects!"

Candita paused at this point, sniffed his nose and quietly touched his stomach, and continued with a smile: "That's all for the time being today, and I'll tell you about the current situation on the mainland in the afternoon." Tomorrow we will go to the grove, and Bernie and I will guide you to practice swordsmanship! If you want to learn swordsmanship well, you can't use wooden sticks instead, Bernie and I will prepare you with unedged practice swords! Let's go, let's see what delicious food is made at home today!"

"If you want to practice swordsmanship, you must first practice footwork, and flexible footwork can make attacking, defending, and dodging more effective. "Candita's voice can be heard from the woods where Lance is chopping trees, and Bernie is standing next to him with a training sword, ready to cooperate with Candita to demonstrate to Ike and Lance.

The starting stance is the same for most kendo systems.

"Stand upright, feet shoulder-width apart, take one step forward with either foot, left foot and right foot doesn't matter, because it depends on the situation. Point the tip of the front foot forward, and rotate the back foot outward forty-five degrees.

This is known as a T-step, and this posture allows you to balance your front, back, left, and right.

The knees should be slightly flexed, so that the activity is easier and smoother, at the beginning must keep the upper body upright, the center of gravity falls between the two retreats, try to relax the body, it is very important to relax, otherwise it will cause muscle stiffness, resulting in sluggish and inaccurate movements. Candita was demonstrating to Ike and Lance as she spoke, and Bernie, who was also on the side, instructed the two children in their movements, and if they didn't do it right, they would definitely get a kick in the ass!

"After mastering the basic starting momentum, it is necessary to start practicing the most basic front and back steps to pull the T-step, and the forward foot is pushed forward by the back foot, and the back foot is also further stepped, and the toes are not understood during the whole process, so as to return to the starting T-step. It's the basic step forward!" Candita said at this point, letting Bernie do the demonstration, and then he gave Ike and Lance a breakdown.

"Then there is the basic movement of the back flash, the front foot pushes, the back foot points back, the front heel goes back to the T-step, and you must pay attention to the head not to mess up and down when training. The same essentials are under, left and right and diagonally "After the explanation, Candita and Bernie let them practice on their own and check it the next day.

After watching the training for a while, the movements are okay, but they are not flexible enough, and the rest is hard training. Candita and Bernie say a few words to the two children and leave.

The boring training, even the most active Ike, was not interested, and the two of them sat on the ground eating the dry bread they brought with them, such training was like the dry bread they nibbled in their mouths, so tasteless!

"Ike, we've been dancing like this all afternoon, it's so boring!" Lance said to Ike, after taking out the last piece of dry hard bread!

"What's the way to be bored, we don't have to practice yet, what if we don't pass the test tomorrow and they don't allow us to continue practicing?"

After eating, the two rested for a while and began boring training again......
