Mount and Blade

...

"Drink!" "Ping bang!"

Green thrust with all his strength, but Gambino easily blocked it. The force of the rebound made the tiger's mouth numb, and his wrists became sore.

There was back and forth for several rounds, and Gambino made a fake move that attracted Green to attack. Green reacted and was about to retreat, but it was too late. He reluctantly turned his sword and blocked it with his arms, and Gambino hit him with a knee. He pushed hard against Green and nearly lost his sword. , the tiger's mouth opened a gash, his hands were numb, and the strength of his knees did not decrease. He directly brought the young Green into the air, sat down on the grass, and was kicked away. The weapon was kicked away, and the sword was placed on the ground again. Green's neck, another battle in which Green fell to the ground.

"Hey, my knee, my reaction is okay, kid, you almost touched me, but it's still a little slow, hahaha."

Seeing the relaxed look on Gambino's face, Green was a little unconvinced. How come he couldn't even touch Gambino after training for so long? !

"Again!!" Green thumped the ground angrily, grabbed the sword at hand and prepared to do it again.

"No, that's all. Green, I still need to check your brother's results." Gambino turned around and called Gus.

"Hey! Gus, come over for sparring."

"Really, why does your brother look so much thinner than Green? Let me see how your swordsmanship is going."

.........

"Ping" "Ping" "Dang!"

The metallic sound of swords hitting each other echoed in the wilderness. Green sat on a wooden stake and simply bandaged the wounds on his hands, observing the fight between the two. Compared with before, he has made a lot of progress now. The scratches on his body The minor injury was no longer serious compared to before. His shirt was soaked with sweat and his hair was still covered in sweat. The breeze that blew through him took away his overheated body temperature and was quite cool.

Gus has just started to learn swordsmanship, and many of his movements are not very standard yet, full of loopholes. Gambino definitely puts more effort into it than he did when he was just sparring with him.

"Drink!!"

"Come on! Come on!"

"What's wrong? Is this all you have?"

Gambino kept taunting Gus, causing Gus to stop attacking and easily subdued him with a knee strike. Gus was unable to stand up for a while.

"...Really, this is not the time to dance!!"

"...Ugh!!" Gus tried to get up in pain.

"Gambino, no matter what, it's useless to teach a 6-year-old kid swordsmanship!" The man on the side said, after all, how much can a little kid do with a sword?

"We can't let this guy freeload all the time. We are mercenaries!"

"You must pay for your own food!" Gambino said matter-of-factly, holding the sword on his shoulder with one hand.

"cough...!"

"No matter what, Gus, you should use a sword that is more suitable for your body, right?" another man said.

"No!!" Gus yelled, and once again stood up staggeringly with the sword that was too heavy for him.

"Well, you are really a stubborn little devil!"

"There are no children's swords in the mercenary group!" Seeing that Gus was ready to fight again, Gambino was ready to greet him at any time.

"...Drink!!" Gus stepped forward and slashed with all his strength.

"Bang!" He was caught easily.

"No! No! The forward step is not enough!" Gambino taught leisurely while blocking easily.

"Use your waist more!"

"Do it! Do it!"

"Work hard, kid!"

"Just do it like you're going to kill him!" the people around him shouted, noting that it was not a big deal to watch the excitement.

"Hmph, just watch!" Gambino's eyes changed, and the sword in his hand instantly became sharper, and Gus couldn't parry it.

"Swish, swish, swish"

Gus's body instantly opened with several cuts, dripping with blood. Green stood up from the stake in an instant.

Maybe he was really angry, but there was a hint of cruelty in Gus's eyes. He ducked to avoid Gambino's sword and rushed in front of him. He picked up the sword in his hand and stabbed upward with all his strength.

"Bah!" Gambino couldn't dodge, and his cheek was cut by Gus' sword. Slightly stunned, followed by rage! !

He was actually injured by a child! !

"you..."

As soon as Guts reacted, he was pushed away by Gambino with a slap. The sword blade instantly cut the bridge of Gus's nose, blood flew everywhere, and he punched Gus in the face again.

"You little brat!!"

"thump"

Gus suddenly fell to the ground and passed out.

"!"

"Hello...Hello, Gambino!?"

People around him also noticed something was wrong and hurried over to check on Gus. Green immediately ran over with his sore legs and shook Gus gently.

"Gus! Wake up!"

"Hello!"

"Taking a brat like this as your opponent...you have gone too far!!" The crowd around him looked at Gambino with dissatisfaction.

"..."

Gambino touched his scratched cheek and fell silent.

"Move gently!"

"It's very serious. The injury is so deep that you can see the bones."

The two soldiers lifted Gus horizontally to avoid further damage during the move.

"Don't you have the courage of an adult? Gambino!"

As expected of veterans who have been on the battlefield, their eyes are equally fierce, but it is clear that they are more humane. Because they rarely come into contact with each other, Green can't call out their names.

"Hee..."

"I overexerted myself without realizing it!" Gambino forced a smile on his lips, smiled awkwardly, and pretended not to care.

"..."

Watching them carry the injured Gus back to the tent, Gambino felt a little guilty. Really, a difficult kid! !

Green looked at Gambino silently, and then ran into the tent.

The two soldiers took off Gus's clothes and bandaged him. The two adults bandaged him very skillfully, and the bleeding was stopped.

"Thank you for taking care of your brother today. Call us if you need anything, Green."

"Okay, thank you."

"Well, remember to get some water. He should want to drink a lot of water when he wakes up later."

The two got up and prepared to leave the tent, and gave Green instructions.

"Well, OK!"

"Really... it's not easy for the two little guys..."

"Such a young child, that guy Gambino really hit hard..." The two chatted side by side and left.

"..."

Looking at Guts lying on the straw bed, is that how he got the wound on his nose? He sighed helplessly, life must go on, and turned to get water.

...............

Because of the coma, Guts missed dinner. Gambino and the others ate and drank wine as usual. Green picked up a bowl of meat and a bowl of hot soup for Guts and put them into the tent. He sat aside and worked hard with his head down. The food in the army is usually very good, but it is not always available.

The people around were talking and laughing while drinking and chatting, bragging about how many enemies they had killed, how much treasure they had robbed, how many famous prostitutes in Judah City they had slept with, and how big a business they would do with the money they had taken, and how rich a landlord they would be in the future.

But people's joys, sorrows, anger and happiness are destined to be incommunicable, because in the eyes of a child, just staying alive takes up all the energy, and Green has never thought about what they desire, nor is he willing to think about it.
