Legendary Hero

Vendôme's soldier recruitment office is located in the Glion district in the north of Vendome, which is the military center of the entire Vendome, and it is located next to the central castle area.

When Luo Lin arrived at the destination, he found that there was already a long queue in front of the recruitment office. There were only ten places, but there were hundreds of competitors.

Every young man who came to apply was strong and strong, with weapons and equipment on his body. Bringing your own equipment is a necessary condition for becoming a city guard, because the city guard is the most powerful force in Vendôme.

The basic military force has a large number of people, and its capabilities are not too strong, that is, tasks such as maintaining law and order in the city.

The lord of Vendôme would not generously distribute equipment to all the low-level soldiers, at most they would just give each one a set of shirts to show their identity.

Luo Lin was also equipped with equipment. He was wearing forged scale leather armor. The chest, abdomen, shoulders, and knees of this leather armor were covered with forged steel sheets like fish scales. The defense ability was excellent. His sword also changed. Now, it was replaced with a sharper moiré steel sword, and the shield was replaced with a tough ebony shield, everything is superior.

This is the equipment that Dai Wei prepared for him, and it cost about six gold coins.

In fact, this wealthy business lady who didn't know how to save money even spent a hundred gold coins to prepare a set of all-steel heavy armor for Luo Lin, but the armor was excellent, but it was too heavy. Not to mention fighting, even walking is tiring. If you want to use that armor to fight, you must have a strength of at least 60, and the corresponding level must be around level 20.

With Luo Lin's current strength, the equipment on his body is just right, and it is not conspicuous among the group of applicants. Luo Lin has seen at least a dozen people with better equipment than him. He is now at the upper-middle level.

When Luo Lin appeared, the young people present looked at him not very friendly. There are already enough competitors.

"Look, another one, only ten positions!"

"It's just a small city guard, how could so many people snatch up this kind of drudgery!" Someone sighed.

"You are stupid, the city guard is just the beginning, you know? Well done, if you are appreciated by the big shots, then you will prosper!"

Luo Lin laughed when he heard this, and started queuing up behind the team.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the door of the recruitment office opened, and a short officer wearing dense scale mail armor walked out. He was obviously used to the long line at the door, and after counting the number of people, he shouted: "We This recruitment is a temporary supplement, and there is a new rule. Have you all seen the row of stake dummies?"

When everyone looked over, they saw a row of wooden dummies on the square beside them. There were magic runes on the dummy, and there was a faint light flowing on the runes, which looked very mysterious.

The officer announced the rules: "The rule is, no matter what weapons you bring, charge the stake from 20 meters away, and immediately attack the dummy's vital points when you get close. From the charge to the attack, each of you has a total of Ten seconds. During this period of time, the more times you hit the vital points, the greater the force of the hit, the better your score will be. Those who hit six times and can make the rune shine with each hit are qualified. If the number of If there are more than ten, we will select those who pass the grades and conduct a second selection until ten people are recruited."

After listening to the rules, the young people who applied were all talking.

"It sounds simple."

"Ten seconds, six key attacks, it shouldn't be difficult."

"I'll come first!"

A tall and strong young man volunteered to stand up.

The officer pointed to the circle drawn on the square: "Did you see the circle? Stand in there and listen to my order to start."

The young man complied.

The officer waited for him to take his position, and then shouted: "Start!"

The young man was holding a two-handed sword. As soon as he heard the sound, he rushed out with all his strength and strode towards the dummy. When he got close, he found that he hadn't estimated the distance well. Although it successfully hit the dummy's neck, the force was weak.

The rune on the dummy's neck didn't move at all.

The young man's complexion changed, and he was obviously panicked. He retracted his sword and slashed again. It was still a neck slash. His big sword was most suitable for this kind of beheading attack. When he hit the second slash, the rune lit up, indicating that the force was enough.

The young man hastily retracted his sword and cut the third sword, but he used an epee. It took at least one second to retract the sword, store power, and release the sword. When the third sword was cut, seven seconds had passed... In the end, he only slashed five swords, and only three of them made the runes shine, and he was eliminated directly.

The officer commented from the side: "Obviously, on a real battlefield, the enemy will not give you a second chance to cut the sword. When you fail to kill the opponent with the first sword, you have already lost. Go back, young man , practice well, don’t come to die.”

The young man backed away with a face full of shame.

Luo Lin was not surprised by this result. He knew that this test seemed simple, but in fact it tested basic skills and psychological quality. The standards set were also very suitable for actual combat. If a tester failed in one of the tests, he would not be able to pass.

Then came the second and third. Among the ten young men in front, no matter whether they were holding an axe, or holding a one-handed sword and shield, none of them passed the test. At six strokes, ten seconds had passed.

A series of failures put more pressure on the follow-up, and no one expected that this test would be so difficult.

"I'll try!"

Suddenly, a voice that made Luo Lin feel a little familiar sounded. He turned his head to look, but saw a tall, bald man walking out. It turned out to be the local ruffian leader Wild Wolf in the old city.

The wild wolf pattern on his bald head was gone, replaced by a big scar, as if the skin had been ripped off directly.

"This guy's injury healed so quickly... Oh, he must have gone to the priest." Luo Lin suddenly realized that this world is different from his previous life.

The wild wolf stood up, holding two bone-chopping axes in his hand, charged forward with a strong body, and the rune immediately lit up when he chopped down with one axe, and then two axes, and three axes, each time the rune was able to shine. The situation is completely different from the previous ones.

In the end, he managed to hit seven axes.

"Very good, you are the first to pass, stand over there." The officer ignored the terrifying appearance of the wolf, nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

Testing continues.

Because the test time for each person is only ten seconds, although there are more than one hundred people, the test does not take long. Even including the waiting time, when it was Luo Lin's turn, it was only over an hour.

In the front position, there were only eight people qualified. The young man with the best score was called Harrington. He held a two-handed sword and cut twelve swords in ten seconds. The sword was deadly!

According to Intellectual Brain's evaluation, this Harrington was exceptionally talented and possessed an elite-quality body, but his level was low, only level 4, which made Luo Lin pay attention.

In the previous test, there was another problem, that is, all the people who passed the test held weapons in both hands, and even an epee fighter passed the test, but none of the shield fighters passed the test.

There are many reasons, but two are the most important. One is that the shield drags down the forward speed, and the charging time is too long. The second is that no one really knows how to use the shield, they just use the shield as a shield or something.

Of the young people present, only one hit a qualified vital attack with the bull charge against the shield, but his follow-up attack was weak, and he could only hit five vitals in the end, and was still eliminated. Not to mention the other shield fighters.

Regarding this result, the officer shook his head and sighed: "The shield is a soldier's most loyal comrade-in-arms. It's a pity that none of you young people can realize its importance."

It was Rollin's turn.

Luo Lin was holding the shield, which naturally belonged to the shield warrior. The young people who stayed behind to watch saw him take off the shield on his back, and shook their heads before he even started.

"Another soft-footed shield warrior, lol."

"Looking at his size, I bet he can only hit four strokes at most."

"Three hits at most."

Luo Lin ignored all these arguments, held the ebony shield in one hand, and the moiré steel sword in the other, moved his arms and legs, and then stood in the circle, waiting for the officer's order.

The officer was also somewhat lacking in interest, he didn't think there was anything special about this shield warrior, and thought this test was just a formality, so he casually shouted: "Start."

'boom! '

The loud noise appeared less than two seconds after the officer's voice fell, just like the muffled thunder, which shocked everyone present.

Everyone looked intently, and saw that the shield warrior, who was still twenty meters away, had already arrived in front of the stake, and his charging speed was ridiculously fast. The shield in his hand slammed into the chest of the stake, because the force was so strong that the light from the rune on the stake's chest became almost dazzling.

The officer who had been sluggish at first lifted his spirits, and with this kind of strength, a real shield warrior finally came.

After the loud noise, Luo Lin stabbed out with the steel sword in his right hand, borrowing the strength of the bull's impact just now, stabbed out with the sword, straight into the dummy's heart, a critical strike!

There was a sound of 'duh', and the rune light once again showed a dazzling light, showing the extremely powerful blow.

The steel sword was bounced back by the magic power on the dummy. Luo Lin twisted his body slightly, and transferred the rebounding force to the shield in his left hand, using the momentum to release the shield skill: Collapsing Mountain.

This move was the most effective. Obviously the shield only moved a short distance, but the sound of hitting the dummy was terrifyingly loud, which meant that Luo Lin's power exploded rapidly.

There was a "bang", the rune lit up again, and the third hit was successful, and the total time passed was only four seconds.

After Bengshan struck, the attack turned back to the steel sword in his right hand. This time he used a slash, slashing from top to bottom, and still accurately slashed at the opponent's neck.

After slashing, continue with the shield. The shield that was bounced back by the dummy had just returned to its position before it was pushed back by Luo Lin, and once again used a collapsed mountain.

No matter how bright the rune is, the light on it is still dazzling. In fact, the light has never been truly extinguished at all.

It was already the fifth blow, and only five seconds had passed.

The attack of this young shield warrior is not particularly fast. Others can clearly see his every move. He is far inferior to the two-sword warrior Harrington just now, but his attacks are so smooth that he doesn't give his opponent any trouble at all. The slightest chance of counterattack.

The test officer nodded straightly, and said to the eliminated shield fighters: "This is a qualified fighter. I bet that on the real battlefield, this young man may not be the sharpest and most eye-catching one. But it must be the one that lives the longest."

While he was speaking, ten seconds had passed, and Luo Lin hit nine fatal blows, becoming the ninth person to pass the test.

At this time, the eyes of the young people around him had changed, their contempt was gone, and they voluntarily moved out of the way when he walked past.

Needless to say, Rowling has proven his strength.

In the following time, the officer continued to test more than a dozen candidates, but there were no more qualified candidates. It seemed that there was no need for a second test, because the number of candidates did not reach ten.

The officer waited for a while, and seeing that no one came to apply, he turned to Luo Lin and the others and said, "Okay, lucky lads, you have all been recruited."
