Blue Sword

If nothing else happens, everyone will spend Christmas this year at war.

The battle reports on the front line are becoming more and more urgent day by day. Rather than fighting against the invasion, it is better to say that they have given up frontal resistance and only intend to delay the enemy's march north.

The Earl of Innsbruck seems to have made up his mind to use this city as a stronghold to fight a protracted and difficult battle with the opponent.

Roads were blocked and barricades were set up, and roofs were reinforced to prevent fire and damage. Even after it was confirmed that the epidemic had completely subsided, the walls that had been knocked down in the previous isolation area were erected again, and they were built taller and stronger, forming an inner city within the city.

The wealthy businessmen, nobles, and people from the earl family who were originally outside the city also moved to the quarantine area.

This urban area that once made people talk about it has now become the safest place envied by all citizens. It must be said that there is a sense of irony.

In addition to the renovation of the city, Alfred also had the buildings outside the city bulldozed and started frantically digging trenches, pretending to turn the place into a meat grinder.

"The form of war this time is different from what you have seen before." Asik introduced the girls as they shuttled through the trenches, "If we were to deal with mutations and extraordinary monsters in the past, we had to use medieval-style cold weapons. Fighting, then what we are fighting this time is a hot weapon model similar to World War I and World War II."

"I know you don't understand what the Middle Ages is and what World War I and World War II are. It doesn't matter. I will explain it in detail next."

"First of all, there is no need to wear armor anymore. Except for military-grade protective equipment such as power armor, conventional iron and steel armor can resist damage from wild beasts and extraordinary creatures, but it is extremely fragile in the face of bullets, so it is better to take it off to reduce the burden on oneself.”

"Secondly, the battle in the hot weapon mode is a typical type with a strong spear and a weak shield. Cold weapon combat focuses on attack, defense and dodge, while hot weapon combat eliminates defense and requires either attack or dodge."

"That means either fire suppression or guerrilla warfare. In most cases, guerrilla warfare is more important than fire suppression."

"Eleanor and Hilda, you have the bulletproof advantage of power armor. Peggy and I have enough physical strength to withstand frontal bombardment from bullets. The four of us are very adaptable to thermal weapon warfare."

"The remaining people, because they do not have the ability to withstand bullets, must have a mature guerrilla mode, that is, how to avoid enemy fire."

"We have a spiritual blind spot." Medea and Nora looked at each other and said.

"There are many shadows in the trench's twists and turns. I can hide in the shadows." Mia replied.

"I'm a sniper." Mi'er's answer was the simplest. A sniper would keep the furthest distance to avoid entering the range of the opponent's automatic assault rifle.

"Sheila." Asik frowned and looked over, "Do you have any skills that can save your life?"

"I..." Sheila was slightly startled, my skills seemed to be more control-oriented.

Air pressure? No, even at the limit of "Storm"'s ability, the compressed air pressure wall cannot withstand bullets.

gravity? It’s even more impossible. Gravity can’t deal with bullets, but it can barely deal with shooters.

The same goes for Ray I. Currently it only has the function of blinding people's eyes and can barely be used as a flash bomb.

"I will first use Ray I to blind the opponents." Sheila tried to devise tactics, "then use the gravity field to subdue them, and finally kill them with air pressure bullets."

Ask:………………

Sheila:………………

"How about you stay in Hearth Island this time." Ask said.

"No!" Silla was angry, how dare you look down on me!

"If you think about it carefully, I do lack the skills to save my life." Sheila said, "How about this, how about I learn swordsmanship from you? Learn extraordinary swordsmanship for self-defense?"

"Okay." Asik didn't care.

"It's okay with me." Now that Asker agreed, Paige certainly wouldn't appear stingy - more importantly, once Sheila learns the Immortal Fantasy Sword from her, it will be equivalent to owing her a favor, and how will she deal with it in the future? Is she fighting for the group leader?

So the plan was decided. Before the enemy arrived here, everyone began to use these trenches extending in all directions to adapt to the battlefield and practice their abilities in advance, while Sheila first learned the magic sword alone with Peggy.

————————

"No, no." Peggy shook her head and said, "You have no talent at all in this area."

Sheila held a long sword and stood silently.

There are many versions of the phantom sword, such as Alexander's original phantom sword, Hannibal's immortal phantom sword, and Peggy's unnamed version of the phantom sword. Essentially, they all use their own extraordinary abilities to meditate on themselves while meditating. The mental body is pulled into reality and at the same time materialized with the ability to cause harm.

Meditation, positioning, and materialization are three steps in total.

Meditation is the simplest, anyone can daydream. The difficulty is positioning and materialization: Alexander uses calculation positioning and activates arcane abilities to materialize, which requires extremely talented people; Hannibal uses the superego of the deceased to position and uses spiritual abilities to materialize. After improvement, The version reduces the intensity of swordsmanship, but greatly reduces the learning threshold of swordsmanship.

Peggy's stealing ability itself includes the two idealistic concepts of "stealing something you don't have" and "stealing it and making it mine", so it is tantamount to being just the right truant, satisfying both "positioning" and "entity" ization” needs. Otherwise, even if he had the seed of thought, he would not be able to learn this extraordinary swordsmanship so quickly.

Didn’t you see that Eleanor also possesses the Will Sequence, and she still hasn’t made any progress in learning it?

Sheila has a smart mind and is very powerful in calculation, so she naturally follows the path of Alexander's original fantasy sword. There is no problem with positioning. The difficulty lies in the materialization step. I don’t know why it always fails.

"This is wrong!" Peggy was also puzzled. "Alexander has arcane power, and you also have arcane power. Why can he do it but you can't?"

"Could it be that the arcane attributes are different?" Sheila guessed, "He is flame and gravity, and I am air pressure and gravity."

"I don't think so," Peggy said. "It should be a problem with the mental body. I'll ask Medea and Nora about it."

When it comes to the mental body, of course you need to find an expert in this field, that is, a psychic.

After hearing Peggy explain the principle, the two psychics thought for a while and immediately came up with the answer.

"The real principle of the Phantom Sword lies in 'belief', which is the power of the mind." Nora said, "The mental body itself is false, because the user believes it is real, so it can have an entity. .When the mental body hits the target, it causes the target to believe that it has been harmed, so the target is harmed."

"But Sheila," Medea said leisurely, "because of religious beliefs and cultural customs, you have some kind of prejudice against psychic abilities. Your subconscious refuses to agree that psychic abilities can materialize the mental body, so you have never been able to complete the mental process. The materialization of the body. The reason why you cannot learn this swordsmanship is that you are rejecting learning it."

Sheila was speechless.

Just as Medea said, she was born in the purple palace of Constantinople, received royal education for more than ten years, and was a thorough Solomon from body to soul.

The Solomons advocated the physical, arcane, bloodline and other sequences that symbolized power, and were disgusted with the necromancy, psychic and other manipulative sequences. The Solomonic Orthodox Church regarded the extraordinary people of these sequences as evil heretics.

Coupled with the fact that the Seljuq Empire that destroyed Donro, its main extraordinary beings were Saracens who mastered the psychic sequence, so it was inevitable that Shira would be resistant to psychic abilities.

When I usually get along with Nora and Medea, because we are all comrades in arms, there is no superficial barrier. Once it is my turn to use my psychic abilities, my subconscious reluctance in this regard will be revealed.

"I offer you two options." Seeing that Sheila stopped speaking, Medea continued, "The first method is hypnosis."

"Use hypnosis to seal your subconscious resistance to psychic abilities... But I guess you won't agree."

Sheila thought to herself that of course she would not agree. How could she easily leave her heart to others to manipulate... not even Medea.

"Then the second way." Medea smiled slightly, "Learn something else."

"Why not try the Nine Star Styles?"
