Blue Sword

Nine Star Styles, this swordsmanship is simply a nightmare.

Both those who face it in combat and those who try to learn it.

Peggy only remembered what Asker said at the beginning: "The Nine Styles of Stars are a swordsmanship that is perfect in calculation and change."

"Each weapon has its own circle. From the shoulder to the handle is the inner radius, and an inner circle can be drawn; from the shoulder to the farthest end of the weapon is the outer radius, and an outer circle can be drawn."

"The line connecting the inner circle and the outer circle is the front line of your weapon."

"What Zhe Rui studies in the Ninth Style of Stars is how to use calculations to avoid or block the enemy's front line, and at the same time press your front line against the enemy's body."

"The inner circle is a circle with a variable inner radius that changes due to the rotation of your shoulder, elbow and wrist joints."

"Establish a polar coordinate system with yourself as the center. Each joint has three parameters, namely horizontal deflection angle, vertical deflection angle and arm length..."

Peggy couldn't understand the words behind her. She only remembered "coordinates", "arc length" and "quick calculation". Countless mathematical terms buzzed in her mind, almost making her head explode.

"Well, how do you calculate this inner radius?" Eleanor was also very bad at this aspect. She poked the ground with branches in vain, "Is it a direct addition?"

Nora watched her writing and drawing on the ground curiously. As a healer, she originally had little interest in the so-called extraordinary swordsmanship, but when it came to academic issues, that was another matter.

After staring at the geometric figures on the ground for a moment, Nora said:

"Suppose the length of the small arm is x, and the horizontal deflection angle is a; the length of the big arm is y, and the horizontal deflection angle is b."

"Then, the final inner radius length z is equal to the square root of a square + b square - 2*a*b*cos (180-a-b), and the horizontal deflection angle is equal to 90-arcsin (y/z*sin (180-a-c)) .”

Eleanor:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

"Nora." She said hesitantly and slightly ashamed, "My brain is not fully developed..."

"This is just the cosine theorem and the sine theorem." Nora said, "You just don't know how to calculate because you haven't learned it before. It's not a problem with your mind."

"Why do you need to know mathematics to learn swordsmanship?" Eleanor burst into tears.

"Asker." Nora turned around and asked Asker, "Your theory... Unless you are a Templar equipped with a computing chip, it is impossible for ordinary people to do mental calculations during battle, right?"

"Of course you can't calculate it," Ask replied, "but you can predict it. Practice makes perfect."

………………

The Galata Bridge in Constantinople fell.

As the opposite side of the Golden Horn was captured by the Franks, the negative consequences of the Eastern Solomon Empire's disadvantages soon became apparent.

Most of the industrial parks were across the Golden Horn, causing Constantinople to immediately lose most of its arms and ammunition production lines.

In terms of the quality of their troops, the Franks were also physically stronger.

The Holy Solomon Empire and the West Frankish Kingdom were both agricultural countries that had not yet completed preliminary industrialization. Most of their land was undeveloped natural wilderness, a paradise for extraordinary creatures to survive and reproduce.

The Frankish military nobles also had the habit of hunting extraordinary creatures in autumn, so they accumulated a large amount of extraordinary power in their bodies over the years.

Since the Holy See does not allow believers to take magic potions, although these Frank knights are all lv0, their physical strength is almost comparable to normal lv4 after long-term military training.

Bullets can penetrate their armor but cannot kill them instantly.

As long as they are not hit in the heart or head, these Frank knights can still rush forward covered in blood even if they are hit by a bunch of bullets.

In contrast, as the Eastern Solomon Empire had already completed industrialization, most of its soldiers had never seen extraordinary creatures in their lives. Their fragile bodies made them almost unable to withstand a blow from the Frankish knights.

Therefore, during the offensive and defensive battle of Galata Bridge, the defenders of Constantinople basically opened fire with all their strength and used a torrent of steel to suppress the charge of the Frankish knights.

Due to insufficient ammunition supply, this approach soon became unsustainable, and the Galata Bridge was evacuated at six in the morning.

Subsequently, Constantinople began to urgently mobilize mercenaries, led by the Norman mercenaries of the Royal Shield Guard, and started fighting in the streets with the Frank knights who rushed into the main city.

Although Asker and his team gained a lot from the Arena Incident, after all, they were in Constantinople at this time, and it was not easy for everyone to blatantly switch from one shot to another.

When I came to the mercenary guild, I saw that all the tasks on the big screen had been removed and replaced with tasks against the Frank invaders. The publisher was the imperial military.

"It's time for you to experience the plot of the war." Asker said, "Unlike the previous dungeon, the monster spawning rules in the war are completely disordered, and there is no so-called distinction between mobs and bosses, and even the drops Almost none.”

"The only advantage is that killing monsters in war can plunder a large amount of extraordinary power from the enemy, thereby quickly improving your attributes."

The girls were all a little nervous when they heard this. Only Hidrifa, the war ecstasy, was overjoyed and kept urging:

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go kill people quickly!"

"Don't worry." Asik knocked on the counter and asked, "Where is the fiercest battle now?"

"The Franks have crossed the Galata Bridge and destroyed the Drangari Gate and the St. George's Gate." The guild receptionist was also replaced by a military clerk, and he said mechanically and quickly:

"In the northeast of District 7, the Shield Guards are defending St. Elena's Church to prevent them from advancing towards the Grand Palace. You can go there."

"Then go there." Ask said, "What's the fastest way?"

"Take the M2 line military train, get off at Zeugma station, and then go all the way east." said the military clerk.

"Can radio resources support it?" Ask asked.

The military clerk looked at him in surprise, as if he didn't expect that this mercenary knew how to command, so he pointed at the quartermaster opposite and said:

"Military radio communication equipment, just go to the other side and get a portable transceiver base station and a dozen intercom headsets."

So Ask went to get the radio equipment and distributed the intercom headsets to the girls.

"Aren't you going to use my telepathic communication anymore?" Medea asked.

"After Eleanor puts on the magic copper armor, your telepathic communication will not be able to penetrate. How will you communicate on the battlefield?" Asker replied, "We should use both military radio and telepathic communication."

Everyone put on their earphones as instructed, Nora debugged the portable base station, and Aske's rustling voice came from the earphones:

"Listen up, let's implement the team combat regulations. Everyone must strictly obey the orders and keep the channel open."

"Every order needs to be executed immediately after it is issued. Do you understand?"

"Got it." The girls responded on the radio.

"Let's go," Ask said.

When everyone walked off the subway station, they saw that the tables and chairs in the waiting hall had been roughly pushed away, and various military green boxes of various sizes were piled up in half of the hall.

The mercenaries were waiting in line to board the special train, and several imperial soldiers were roughly directing the team:

"The next train is coming! Get on! Get on! Get on!"

The door of the train was opened, and the mercenaries immediately rushed forward. Asker and others also quickly got on the train, filling the whole train to the brim.

The subway started moving again, and there was only the sound of heavy breathing and the smell of sweat in the carriage. The girls frowned in discomfort.

As there were no stops in between, the train soon arrived at Zugma Station.

The mercenaries got out of the car in confusion again, and saw that the end of the subway tunnel had been blocked by a military bunker, and a heavy chain machine gun was set up - this tunnel leads to the Galatia Peninsula opposite the Golden Horn Bay. Now Already occupied by the enemy.

Returning to the ground again, the mercenaries dispersed and each went to find his companions.

The main force chose to head east along the road, while Ask took the girls south and took a circuitous route toward the third mountain.

"Occupy the high ground first," he said.

The third mountain is a slightly higher mound. Residential and apartment buildings are built along the mountain. At this time, fire and black smoke can be seen rising from the upper floors of several buildings.

Everyone walked up the road paved with stone bricks, and then saw the body of a child in the middle of the road.

The little child was lying on his back on the ground. He was probably only three or four years old. His black and curly hair was stained with dirt and blood.

Lying next to her mother's body was her mother's body. Her hands were pointing in the direction of the child's body. Blood stains spread from five to six meters away, showing obvious drag marks.

Apparently, the mother crawled five or six meters in a pool of blood before she died, and died before she could grab the tiny body of her child.

The person who was most shocked by this tragic scene was Eleanor. Her blue eyes were wide open, with strong disbelief and shock.

Putting down the spear and shield in her hands, she picked up the child's body. Her throat was choked and she didn't know what to say.

The child's body was in her arms with her eyes closed. For a moment, it seemed to her that the little angel was just sleeping. However, the warm and sticky feeling soon stung her hands, pulling her back from the illusion. Come to the cold reality.

"Asker." Nora hid behind him in horror, grabbed his arm, and said tremblingly, "This is... what atrocities..."

"This is war," Asker replied.

Eleanor held the child, came to the mother's body, and gently turned her over. Only then did everyone discover that the skirt of the mother's corpse had been roughly torn open, and there was sticky blood between her legs.

Putting the child's body in her mother's arms, Eleanor took out the cotton cloth used to wrap the spear, wrapped the lower body of the mother's body, and turned around and said:

"Ask, let's bury them."

Ask sighed and said, "Bury it."

Hildafa came to the flower bed by the roadside, quickly dug out a deep pit with a tomahawk, and together with Eleanor, put the two corpses into the pit, and then filled it with soil again.

"Although the souls of those who died in battle cannot go to Valhalla," Hidrifa said, "cowards who wantonly kill innocent women and children will inevitably fall into the abyss of Helm and suffer eternal death in the cold and darkness. Torture.”

"Let's go." Eleanor said slowly, "Don't wait for the judgment after death."

"I'm going to see the results now." She picked up the spear and shield on the ground and looked towards the top of the mountain.
