Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Lancelot's mind. What was the instructor going to do? Was he testing himself to see if he could pull the trigger without hesitation and kill a woman who had nothing to do with him? Or was it a trap?

Although there were many thoughts in his mind, the daily training made Lancelot subconsciously accept the order. His body hurt like his brain. Without any pause, he aimed and shot. Everything was just like what he did on weekdays. The crossbow in his hand trembled, and the crossbow arrow had flashed a black shadow, passed through Ryan's body, and pierced into the wall not far away with a "doo".

Lancelot opened his mouth in astonishment for a moment. He couldn't believe what he saw, because except for the stone wall, the crossbow arrow did not hit anything else. The crossbow arrow flashed and shot out, but passed through Ryan's armpit, and then sank into the wall not far behind Ryan. The arrow did not hit Ryan - how could this be possible? If it was at a long distance, it might be possible to dodge the crossbow arrow, but Ryan was only ten steps away from him.

If it were an ordinary person, he might suspect that he was in a bad state and missed the target, or that the opponent was lucky, so he dodged with the help of the Emperor of God. But Lancelot would never think so. He was an excellent warrior. Although he did not control his body as well as Li, he knew his goal clearly. The arrow should have been shot into Ryan's heart, but it was dodged by this woman.

At the same time, Lancelot was also very clear that this dodge was not luck. Luck might help you pick up a gold coin on the ground, but it could not help you dodge the close-range crossbow shooting.

At the moment the crossbow arrow was shot, the woman named Ryan shook her body slightly, allowing the crossbow arrow that should have hit her heart to pass through her armpit. What kind of skill, boldness and confidence is this?

Is this the so-called "careful observation" skill? Interesting, Lancelot's mouth curled up slightly. He took back his crossbow, changed the string, put the crossbow arrow, and then he suddenly raised his arm, without even aiming, and shot an arrow at a high speed. At the same time, Lancelot's eyes were fixed on Ryan. He wanted to see clearly how this woman dodged. In an instant, Ryan's body seemed to have turned into catkins. She just shook slightly, and the crossbow arrow that was supposed to pierce her throat lost its target and could only sink into the wall again. But Lancelot did not stop. He seemed to have expected that the other party could dodge this arrow. His movements did not even pause. Lancelot quickly stringed the crossbow and placed the crossbow arrow at the same time, and then shot. He shot three arrows in a row, but none of them could touch Ryan's body.

Then Lancelot continued to shoot. He kept changing his shooting method and occasionally deliberately missed the target. But until all ten crossbow arrows were shot, he was unable to hurt Ryan.

"I thought that everyone has already understood this power. This is the power I want to show you." Li lowered his voice, but everyone held their breath and listened more carefully. "This is the power of 'careful observation', and what is shown to you is only a small part of this power. If you are willing, I will teach you this skill, but I cannot guarantee that you can obtain this power. To have this power, diligence is of course necessary, but diligence alone is not enough, and talent is also needed. Of course, you can Doubt, after all, this is too incredible, a person can actually dodge the shooting of crossbow arrows at a distance of ten steps, this is simply like a legendary story. Maybe this is a conspiracy between Lancelot and me. If you don't believe it, of course you can come up and shoot yourself, or come up and let Lancelot shoot two arrows to try." Li looked around at everyone, and naturally no one dared to say a word. If you can unconditionally shoot two arrows at others, everyone will be happy to do so, but there is also "or be shot" which is too scary. Everyone stood at attention, looking forward, trying their best not to be noticed by Li, "Very good, it seems that everyone They all still trust me, so I will explain the principle of this power now, everyone listen carefully. "

"The so-called 'careful observation' uses the two most important organs of human beings, one is the eyes and the other is the brain. For humans, these are the two most important organs. Everyone knows the importance of the brain. The thing in your head allows you to think and makes you different from livestock; eyes are equally important, because all human civilization today is based on vision. You can imagine, if there is such a day, all of a sudden, all of humanity suddenly becomes blind, then what will the world look like? "Li smiled and said: "There is no doubt that human civilization will collapse in an instant, which shows the preciousness of these two things, but most people can only feel their preciousness after losing them, so why don't we use these two treasures well when we have them? First, you have to observe with your eyes, and then think with your brain. This process forms "careful observation". It is both the simplest and the most difficult skill. Anyone can learn this skill, but what level you can reach in the end depends on your own quality. "

“Everything that is about to happen will have signs. Swallows will fly low before the rain falls, and autumn is approaching when the leaves fall. If you can understand these signs, you can be prepared for what is about to happen, so as not to be in a hurry when it comes. How was Ryan able to dodge the crossbow's close-range shot? This was almost impossible, but she could easily do something that almost no one could accomplish. It seemed magical, but if you explain it clearly, it was also simple. Very well, that is prediction. Ryan was already prepared to dodge before Lancelot pulled the trigger to shoot. By observing the posture of the crossbow in Lancelot's hand, she was able to judge the direction of the crossbow bolt. Trajectory, this is not difficult. As long as you pay attention, you can find that within a distance of ten steps, the shooting trajectory of the crossbow arrow is a slightly curved curve that is almost a straight line. Unlike the bow and arrow, the firing trajectory of the crossbow arrow is determined by the crossbow itself. Decision, the change is very small, so you only need to judge the approximate shooting trajectory, and you can predict where the crossbow bolt will shoot in advance, and then by observing the movements of the finger joints and the changes in the hand muscles, you can predict the crossbow bolt shooting. time. Now let’s see what we all know. First, we know the trajectory of the crossbow bolt, and then we clearly know when the crossbow bolt will be fired. This makes things simple. Dodge within ten steps. Shooting the crossbow arrow doesn’t seem to be that difficult.”

"Do you want to be like Ms. Lane and be able to easily dodge crossbow shots? If you want to, then you have to study hard. Our next study will be aimed at Lane. The first thing we need to learn is: A brand new course, Biology. In this course, we focus on understanding the changes that muscles and bones affect the body of living things. You must first understand that if someone wants to punch you, then he must first What kind of movements will it make, how should its muscles change? The targets you need to observe are not just humans, most animals will be the objects of your observation. Today we first observe people, if a person wants to punch. You, what will he do first? You don’t need to ask for instructions, please feel free to answer.”

"Will you get angry?"

"I know how to clench my fists!"

“Definitely waving my arms!”

Li smiled, nodded and said: "Yes, as I said, everything has signs. What you just said are signs that a person who is about to get angry is going to shake his fist at you. Through these, we know' This angry man may be going to hit someone, but when exactly? And what is the trajectory and range of his attack when he swings his fist? As an experienced fighter, you all have your own opinions on these issues. , you can also roughly judge the timing and method of the enemy's attack, but just a rough judgment is absolutely not enough. What we have to do next is to use various methods to make this rough judgment more and more accurate. You will learn how to observe the muscles and bones of the enemy, so as to have a deeper understanding of the movement of a person or other living things. You will learn to use your own language, movements, and demeanor to control the rhythm, so that your enemies can follow. Dance to the notes you have set. You have to learn to use many things that you have never seen or even heard of. There are so many things in your future that you can't even dream of. And as of now, I want more. In other words, every enemy we encounter has some differences, but generally speaking, its basic pattern will not change, so what we have to do now is to observe deeply and learn to make quick and correct decisions. Judgment, starting from today, we will have biology classes every night. Please arrive at Auditorium 13 on time after dark. Now, let us continue to learn some simple fighting skills."

The next fighting skills class became a bit difficult. Although the soldiers learned all the exquisite fighting skills that they had never heard of before, if you pick one of these fighting skills and put it to the outside world, it can be regarded as a "family secret skill", worthy of a family for generations. The secret skills of guarding are just some superficial foundations according to the instructor. But now these exciting combat skills can no longer satisfy these warriors. Yes, these exquisite combat skills are nothing compared with the hand that Ryan showed before. Everyone is looking forward to the "biology class" at night. They are eager to reach the level of Ryan, who can dodge crossbows at close range. With the God Emperor on top, this is simply like witchcraft! So it wasn't until class actually started that they realized a question: Why do biology classes need to be studied at night? Or choose the remote Auditorium 13?
