Chapter 4 The Reserves of the Hurricane Knights
(Chapter 2 is here! Please collect and vote~~~~~~)
Five minutes later, a large area was opened in the training ground. Rhode, who had already worn steel armor and hand-held wooden swords, and the trainee knight named Sulun, faced each other directly, fifty meters apart.
Rhodes showed a little loosely, and the wooden sword in his hand was not raised in the standard position, but was half dragged in his hand as if he was holding it casually.
Compared to Rhode's loose look, Sulun, who was selected by Leibnis, was much stricter, and the wooden sword in his hand was always in a position that was most conducive to cutting out and responding.
Seeing these two situations, whether out of contempt or support for their own people, the trainee knights who were gathering around them began to support Sulun in their hearts and verbally.
However, after seeing the situation on the scene, especially Rhodes, the dozen Red Copper Knight Instructors and Leibnis looked at each other with a look of surprise.
Most of the trainee knights in this training base were recruits selected from the Taran Kingdom. After less than half a year of training, they had at most used their equipment and combat strength to fight monsters such as goblins, goblins, and werewolves. The silver knights had a big gap in their vision, with the Red Copper Knights who had really struggled among the dead.
In the eyes of these trainee knights, Rhodes is obviously a careless guy, and compared with Sulun who is always on guard, it is not at all the same level.
However, in the eyes of these Red Copper Knights who have survived for a long time and survived the battle, Sulun's all-round alert is completely the unique tension of the new recruits. Although Rhodes seems to have a lazy and casual expression, they really give them a sense of danger that is extremely familiar - the feeling of meeting veterans with rich experience on the battlefield!
"This kid is a little strange!"
"really!"
"Look, let's talk about it!"
More than a dozen veterans who cooperated with each other tacitly completed a conversation with their eyes, and then, including Leibnis, who had no expectations for Rhodes, began to look forward to this trainee knight test.
"This is a step-by-step test! The tester only needs to persist in an hourglass time without failing, and it will be passed!"
All communication took only ten seconds, and then a red copper knight with obvious inconvenience on one foot stood up and shouted to Rhodes, Sulun and the others present.
The so-called infantry battle test is to not use war horses, and everyone stands on the ground and uses swordsmanship to confront each other!
Of course, this is not because there is a lack of war horses or Rhodes and Sullen will not. It is because of the lack of riding duels on the training ground, but it is too dangerous for the apprentice knights of the Gray Iron Level. Although there are many apprentice knights in the Hurricane Knights, they are not planning to lose money in this test process!
On the contrary, compared with the high risk of being stabbed by an opponent by accident when riding a war horse and stabbing to death, the risk of conducting an in-person combat test is not only much lower in terms of danger, but also more appropriate for testing the tactics and combat quality of both sides.
As for the questions about the apprentice knights testing infantry battles, the most important indicator for the knights is to be proficient in at least three weapons and train riding skills. In addition to the fact that they are proficient in the infantry battles, the most important indicator is the level of infantry battles!
"Witness in the name of the Hurricane Legion Knights! Testing begins!!!"
The test officially began with the shouts of the Red Copper Knight and a small hourglass erected.
—————————————————————————————
"Witness in the name of the Hurricane Legion Knights! Testing begins!!!"
After the shouts of the Red Copper Knight instructor who was the witness fell, Sulun, who had been in a high state of alert, took action.
"Click--"
With the friction of leather boots, Su Lun charged in a low angle tilted body. The two-handed sword-cutting sword made of hard hardwood in his hand began to lift it upwards and ready to chop it down at any time.
As the best in this training camp, Su Lun himself is a genius-level figure. At the age of seventeen, he is about 1.8 meters tall, and his strength has also reached the peak of gray iron. It is very likely that he will inspire fighting spirit before he is eighteen to become a real red copper knight!
Although Sulun himself does not have the first inheritance right as a viscount in the Kingdom of Taran, he still has no shortage of resources as a descendant of the noble. If it weren't for his two brothers who were not ordinary people, he might have hopes of inheriting the family title before being elected to the Hurricane Legion.
However, after being selected by the Hurricane Legion, he had to leave his family territory and work hard together with others in the Hurricane Knights Adult Knight Training Camp. During the half-year training at the Hurricane Knights Adult Knight Camp, Sulun, who had a very good foundation and worked hard enough, has improved significantly. Now he is not far from the official knights of the Red Copper Level, which has not inspired the fighting spirit to strengthen itself!
As a noble child, Sulun and Rhodes had no hatred before. It is logical that they should not have come forward to conduct a "test". However, as a young man in his teenager, Sulun himself has a sense of arrogance. He also expressed himself when Leibnis, the one-eyed silver knight, called for someone, and was chosen to confront Rhodes.
When he saw Rhodes' very lazy look, Sulun, who was already feeling guilty, made up his mind to teach a lesson like Rhodes a casual guy!
When the instructor's shouting fell, and as he had reached the peak of his physical fitness, Su Lun rushed through dozens of meters in an instant, and then the wooden two-handed slashing sword in his hand aimed directly at Rhode's head-on!
"Woo!!!"
The wooden two-handed sword, which was 1.5 meters long and 6 meters long, turned into a black shadow in the air and made a howling sound of breaking through the air, proving how strong Su Lun's slash was!
Although the two-handed sword slashing is made of wooden, the two-handed sword slashing, which has little difference in weight and real steel weapons, is made of solid wood. When Su Lun's force is definitely more than 10 points, the lethality of people at the gray iron level should not be underestimated!
Faced with Sulun who was slashing his sword with great momentum, Rhode's reaction was very simple. He neither raised his sword to fight back nor resisted. Instead, he simply took a big step back and easily avoided the whistling two-handed sword slashing.
Rhode's step of withdrawing seemed simple, but it made Su Lun, who was preparing to cut down, feel like he vomited blood!
In Sulun's predetermined target, he planned to directly confront Rhode and defeat him head-on, slashing his sword with both hands, while Sulun was even calculating the situation where Rhode would counterattack and respond. Unexpectedly, Rhode took a big step directly and broke all his ideas. At the same time, he almost couldn't control the slashing sword in his hand and twisted it directly to his waist.
"Don't run!!!"
Accompanied by Su Lun's shout, the two-handed sword that had already been cut was stopped directly. Then, Su Lun, who was rushing forward, took a lower arc and directly aimed at Rhode, who had just raised the wooden sword in his hand, and swept across!
"Dong!!!"
Facing the blonde boy named Su Lun on the opposite side, Rhode directly raised the thick back slashing sword in his hand, blocked it with the other party's two-hand slashing sword, making the dull sound unique to the collision of wooden objects.
"It actually blocked it with one hand." Seeing Rod blocking his horizontal slash with a relaxed look on his face, Su Lun, who was already full of anger, immediately changed his color. Especially after feeling the feeling that the weapons in his hand were not enough to improve, Su Lun's face became quite ugly.
As the leader and origin of this Hurricane Knights' training ground and his background, Sulun's own knowledge is definitely not bad. Just from this, we can see the difference in strength between himself and Rhodes.
Although the sword slashing with both hands did not exert all its strength when it swept across the sweep, it was definitely stronger than Sulun's one-handed sword swing. Now it was blocked by the opponent's sword holding with one-handed sword, which meant that the opponent's strength was greater than that of him!
"Damn it! I should choose sword and shield equipment." Su Lun suddenly stopped and held his hands to cut the sword back with both hands while looking at Rhode's movements, he regretted it in his heart.
According to the knight's equipment, launch a charge and use a cavalry rifle, fall into a battle or in the battle, kill swords and shields with both hands, fight against heavy armor or large enemies, fight hammers and giant axes, spears and flying axes used in medium and long range, do not require all proficiency for the knight, but at least you must be proficient!
If Su Lun, who has also received knight education since childhood, would have chosen the most ordinary but practical equipment like the sword and shield. However, it is obvious that Su Lun, who is among the top scorers in the training ground, also felt proud in his heart. After seeing Rhodes who did not show anything, he took his hands and slashed the sword.
Now he found that the problem was wrong, but Su Lun could not ask to stop and change weapons. Therefore, he could only distance himself from Rod, preparing to use his advantage of killing and killing distances with both hands, rather than playing melee battles with the enemy with obvious strength, Rhodes!
The instructor was surprised by Sulun and the trainee knights watching the battle around him. Facing Sulun who was trying to distance himself, Rhode himself did not choose to pursue the victory, but stood there and raised the thick-backed sword in his hand and aimed at Sulun, as if he was waiting for the other party to take the initiative to attack.
"asshole"
Seeing the other party's underestimation of himself (Su Lun thinks), Su Lun, who had retreated more than ten meters, began to get a little angry in his eyes, and the handle of the sword he trained to use his hands to cut the sword was held even harder.
