The Glory of Noxus
Chapter 23 Knife and sword, the road of choice!
The scorching sun rises and hangs in the sky.
Fragments of sunlight fall down, dispelling the biting chill of winter.
Behind the three-story building, there is an open courtyard separated. It occupies a small area, and the distance between the front and back is only about three feet.
The hard and flat ground is paved with large pieces of bluestone. There are many wooden piles mixed with iron and wood standing around it, as well as weapon racks placed close to the wall, with different types of steel weapons placed on them.
Artisans are good at using all kinds of weapons.
Especially for legionnaires, the use of swords, axes, spears, bows, and arrows, etc., is not a matter of proficiency.
Huo Jixing and Eric stood more than ten feet apart, facing each other.
DeWitt, who came with a learning mentality, followed him to the edge of the courtyard. In his deep-set eye sockets, his brown eyes turned and looked at the two curiously.
One is a newly awakened transcendent, and the other is the ten-capion commander whom he respects and worships.
Viewed from a distance, there is a huge difference in body shape between the two.
Eric looks like a fierce tiger, about seven feet tall, tall and strong.
Huo Jixing is less than six feet tall, obviously much shorter and much thinner.
call!
Huo Jixing took a breath and straightened his posture, holding the standard long sword that had just been taken off the weapon rack tightly in his hand.
The discussion with Eric in front of me was an unexpected gain from this meeting.
It's a good time to try the progress made during this period.
After quickly adjusting his mentality, Huo Jixing's eyes narrowed, and red surged in his pupils, falling on Eric.
"Conquering Blade, let me see what level of skill it is!"
Before his passion had even begun, when Huo Jixing met Eric's eyes, he suddenly felt a huge sense of oppression coming towards his face.
This is far beyond what can be compared to the snow boar, frost-toothed giant wolf, or beast spirit apprentice.
Eric held the giant sword easily with one hand. His seemingly casual gesture gave him an endless sense of fatal threat.
Chi!
The sword blade broke through the air, and white marks emerged.
Huo Jixing suppressed the restlessness in his heart, stepped forward, and bullied him forward. He used the long sword against the giant sword. He would have a certain advantage at close range.
Unfortunately, the idea is very good, but the gap is too huge.
Chi!
The giant sword slashed down, its force was like a mountain avalanche, compressing and solidifying the air, instantly restricting Huo Jixing's forward direction.
The next moment!
Sonorous!
The sound of blades clashing was heard, and the long and narrow standard sword fell to the ground and bounced gently, as if it was telling something.
One blow!
Falling sword!
"The intention is too obvious, continue!"
A cold voice came. Huo Jixing walked over, picked up the sword, continued to straighten his posture, looked at Eric who looked relaxed, and launched another attack.
Sonorous!
The sword fell to the ground.
"The strength is okay, but the reaction is too slow, continue!"
Sonorous!
The sword fell to the ground.
"This time the reaction is okay, but it's still too slow. Continue!"
Sonorous!
The sword fell to the ground.
"Making progress, stay focused! Keep going!"
Sonorous!
Faced with repeated failures, Huo Jixing was not discouraged and repeatedly waved the standard long sword to attack Eric.
And during such frequent sparring sessions, he could vaguely sense Eric's physical attributes.
Whether it is strength, physique, or agility, it should be much better than him, at least 3 points or more. Coupled with the skill level of the Conquering Blade, Eric can easily knock down the sword with one blow every time.
continue!
Huo Jixing grinned, sweating with the name of hard work, and launched another attack!
After dozens of sparring sessions.
Huo Jixing gradually failed in one move, then failed in two moves, and occasionally persisted until the third move.
This is due to the fact that Eric will provide corresponding guidance and corrections after each sparring session.
After another defeat.
Eric stood on the spot, frowned slightly, looked at the standard long sword in Huo Jixing's hand, and said: "You don't seem to be suitable for using a long sword, or in other words, it doesn't match the flame power you possess. "
Although Huo Jixing did not use the power of Nanli Fire, Eric could easily see it with his own skill level.
Huo Jixing's attack was paving the way for the flames, waiting for the violent catharsis.
"Not suitable for using a long sword!?"
Huo Jixing stopped, took a breath, lowered his head and held the standard sword in his hand, his expression filled with confusion.
"Then what should I use?"
"The long sword is too light and does not go well with your fire power."
Eric recalled the life-and-death fight in the snow of Freljord not long ago. The violent fire that was ignited seemed to have no advantage compared to Huo Jixing's swordsmanship.
After pondering for a while, Eric's eyes fell on the weapons rack not far away and he answered.
"knife!"
Among the many cruel wars that Eric has experienced, the applicability of knives and swords has some overlap and differences.
A knife is edged on one side, and a sword is edged on both sides.
The knife is thick and heavy, the sword is thin and light.
The knife can be used to cut, shave, cut, and chop, and the sword can be used to cut, whet, and stab.
When wearing armor and fighting at close range, the effectiveness of a knife exceeds that of a sword.
The power of a knife lies in cutting.
One slash is worth many sword thrusts.
In the previous sparring session, Eric observed Huo Jixing's sword-drawing movements. It was obvious that there was no systematic training under the guidance of a famous teacher.
The knife is different. Its movements are simple. It does not require years of suffering and training. It only needs enough strength to exert a terrifying effect.
Once the sword is in motion, it moves like fire, and every swing of the sword will accumulate.
In the end, it will be like a raging flame, turning into a prairie fire.
The slashing of the sword can also achieve a similar effect, but in the battlefield, it is far less fast than swinging the sword.
Of course, heavy weapons may be more effective.
However, Huo Jixing's body size limits his use of heavy weapons. Even if he can swing heavy weapons, the effect is far less obvious than that of the sword.
The above is just his suggestion. Whether he listens or not depends on Huo Jixing himself.
"Sword?" Huo Jixing looked down at the standard long sword in his hand, thinking.
To put it bluntly, it is difficult to practice a sword without the guidance of a famous teacher and the tormenting practice since childhood.
The sword is different. The single blade is heavy and can produce good lethality when it is waved casually in the hand.
Even if you study it seriously, it takes much less time than swordsmanship.
Long weapons and heavy weapons such as spears, halberds, halberds, and spears are suitable for array confrontation.
It is not suitable for single-soldier combat.
As for the Grandmaster level?
Eric's implication was that the Grandmaster level was too far away, and perhaps he would never reach it in this lifetime, so he should settle down and practice his skills.
"Try it?!"
Huo Jixing walked to the weapon rack, put the standard long sword back on it, and picked up a single-edged heavy long sword.
The blade was more than three feet long, and the handle was about one foot and two inches long. The sharp blade reflected the cold light, reflecting his handsome face.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Huo Jixing waved the knife casually, and the blade cut through the air, making a whimpering sound.
Then he walked to Eric with the knife and continued to practice.
At the beginning, because Huo Jixing was not familiar with the long sword, the effect was not very good.
But as time passed, he gradually adapted to the long sword, and the effect of training suddenly rose. He didn't have to worry about the effect of the move at all, and just waved it randomly.
Chop, wipe, turn, jump vertically
Huo Jixing seemed to have changed into a different person, his body moved with the sword, and his momentum was fierce, which was obviously different from the state when he was swinging the sword.
Clang!
The sword slashed, stirring up waves of air.
Huo Jixing took four steps back, panting, and his arm holding the sword trembled, but the long sword did not fall.
"Not bad!" Eric put down the giant sword in his hand, without sweating all over his body, and looked very relaxed.
"Compared to swordsmanship, it seems that you have a better talent for swordsmanship."
"Can weapons be customized in the camp?" Huo Jixing's chest rose and fell, swinging the long sword, which was a little unsuitable.
"Yes, but you need to register at the military supply department." Eric came over, his eyes full of appreciation.
"Recently, a lot of new fine ores from the Digwo Fort have been transported to the camp. You can go there early, pick some, and make weapons suitable for you."
"Thank you!" Huo Jixing nodded gently and thanked him.
This meeting was very rewarding. Not only did he learn about the skill system, but he also discovered some extraordinary knowledge about runes and magic.
Eric did not hide his knowledge. In addition to sparring, he also taught in person.
Huo Jixing silently accepted this favor in his heart.
There is also the Legion Consultant Wilson. Although the promised extraordinary knowledge has not been fulfilled, his advice is also very important.
Eric then invited Huo Jixing to have dinner together. The two had a good chat and agreed to continue sparring later.
This is not a polite remark.
Huo Jixing needs to improve his skills, and Eric himself is eager to fight with extraordinary people.
This can be seen from the previous scout mission.
If you go deep into Freljord to perform missions in the future, you may encounter extraordinary people frequently.
Those extraordinary people belonging to the Winter Claw tribe will not chat and laugh with you politely.
When you meet them, it will only be a life-and-death fight!
Please recommend, please collect, and please read! It is recommended, but the data is a bit miserable!
