Chapter 224

In the afternoon, the woodland of silver moon manor.

The sun shone on the snow, and the cold fog rose over the whole forest. On the snow in the forest, the two Armored Warriors faced each other ten meters apart.

Nelson bounced his toes and took three steps. The refined gold Tomahawk was handed to Bruce. His movements are light and fast, and his refined iron armor seems to have no weight. The contrast between lightness and massiness gives people an unreal feeling. In the face of this light attack, Bruce was surprised, his wrist turned, and the pure gold one handed halberd was like a waking giant snake to accurately catch the coming Tomahawk.

"Bang!"

Axes and halberds intersect, sparks splash everywhere, and the sound is like thunder. It looks like a tentative attack, but it erupts into amazing power. The fierce wind rolls up the snow on the ground and shoots in all directions like an explosion, which fully explains what violent power is!

Although he had been prepared, Bruce was surprised by the strange power of the refined gold battle axe, and Bruce obviously felt that the power of this blow was much greater, and even the frozen soil under his feet was cracked.

Nelson waved his axe and cut it in a staggered way. The attack momentum was like a storm. The sharp sound of the air being torn and the explosion of weapons colliding with each other. The snow on the shaking branches rustled and fell, and was rolled into the air by the vigorous wind. When he struck the sixth axe, Bruce finally took a step back.

This retreat boosted Nelson's morale, and the attack was like a mountain toppling the sea. One wave was higher than another, and one axe was heavier than another. Bruce only defends but does not attack. He connects twelve axes and retreats twelve steps in a row.

Bruce was not unable to stop the heavy axe. He just wanted to see where Nelson's ultimate strength was. When the pressure on the shield no longer increased, Bruce nailed in place, like a reef in the sea, standing still despite the wind and waves.

With the help of the vibration of weapon collision, Bruce clearly noticed that Nelson's muscles operated orderly under the armor, and the power was progressive layer by layer, continuous and almost no gap.

Having tried to find out Nelson's limits, it's time to end the fight. But Bruce found that if he wanted to suppress Nelson in power, he had to have local elements. In this way, Nelson would be injured by shock, which was not the result he wanted to see.

If there is no flaw, make a flaw!

The fine gold halberd screamed and swept over. Nelson's eyes coagulated, and his left axe turned into a purple rainbow to meet the sharp sweep. However, as soon as the weapons of both sides came into contact, Nelson found that the long halberd, which should have been strong and heavy, was lightly stained on his axe, and then a gentle force led the battle axe to one side. Nelson quickly collected his strength and tried to stabilize the center of gravity, but the strength on the halberd changed from emptiness to reality, and suddenly became rigid and fierce. Seeing that the battle axe was about to fly, Nelson loosened his left hand and lifted it. The refined gold battle axe turned around on the halberd and fell on his hand again.

"EH."

The sudden change was no faster than Bruce's strength. The halberd sank and took down the battle axe. The halberd tip gently touched Nelson's Breastplate and took it back.

"Nelson, I can't imagine that your strength and skill have reached this level. No wonder you can kill the Knights of the Buryat family directly." Bruce said with a smile.

Nelson said dejectedly, "Lord Bruce, you let me start. I used my best strength, but you didn't step back."

"By strength alone, you are far beyond the level of an ordinary knight and can be compared with an adult ogre. If I don't have the elements of emptiness, I can't suppress you." Bruce nodded and said, "I wasn't repulsed by you because we were as strong as each other, but your physique was not as strong as me. When the weapons collided, you instinctively stepped back and relieved your strength, otherwise you would be injured."

Nelson breathed out a warm breath and grinned. He practiced the secret form of Fu Niu hard. He had a great growth in both physique and strength. Now he has been recognized by the great knight and is proud of it.

Bruce walked out of the woods. Nelson quickly followed him, and several guards took over their weapons and shields.

Bruce asked angrily, "please tell me that Felix has something important to give me and wants me to bring the best soldier instructor. What is it?"

Nelson carefully recalled Victor's confession when he left, confirmed that there was nothing missing, and said, "Lord Bruce, do you think my strength is much greater than it was more than two years ago?"

"It's really great progress. It's like changing a person." Bruce jaw first.

Nelson said with a smile, "I summarized a set of training methods a long time ago. At that time, I was a mercenary, either fighting or on the way, and I didn't have time to practice well. After this period of training, I made progress now. Lord Victor is very satisfied with the effect of this training method. I'm going to give this training method to the York family."

Bruce was silent. Each family with a long history has its own martial arts training method. Although it is not a secret, it is also a very precious secret for ordinary people. Nelson created a unique secret technique. Instead of taking it as the inheritance secret method of Randall family, he had to give it to York family, which must be instructed by Victor. Based on Victor's relationship with the York family, what can't be said directly and must be told through Nelson? What is the purpose of Victor's Secret Law?

Bruce saw Nelson with a sincere face and suddenly realized that Victor did this to let the York family lead Nelson a favor, because the secret method was created by Nelson after all. In that case, ask Nelson directly to know Victor's purpose.

Thinking of this, Bruce asked, "Nelson, why do you disclose the martial arts training methods?"

"Lord Bruce, have you heard of the big regiment designed by my lord?" Nelson took off his helmet and said, "according to Lord Victor's idea, every 5000 soldiers form a square array. When more than ten square arrays are assembled, they can resist no more than 30000 ant people in the field. My training method can train soldiers' strength and physique and make them qualified soldiers."

"It's no use!"

Bruce explained to the stunned Nelson, "I'm not saying that the martial arts secrets you created are worthless, but that all martial arts secrets are useless. The infantry array envisaged by Victor can't be realized at all... Even if it is realized, it's useless!"

"Why?"

Nelson was a little angry, but he personally experienced the excellent effects of the two secret forms. After the family guard practiced simplifying the secret form, his personal strength was obviously much stronger. If it weren't for Victor's order, Nelson wouldn't want to publicly simplify the secret form to the York family, even if it was only a part.

Bruce shook his head and said with a smile, "Nelson, if the giant rhinoceros hits you, can you stand it?"

Thinking about the scene that he was hit head-on by a 9000 pound monster, Nelson shook his head decisively.

"This is the limit of the body, which determines the limit of the individual."

Bruce said, "no martial arts secret can make people break through the limit. No matter how powerful ordinary people are, they can't be bigger than bulls, and no matter how fast they are, they can't run horses. In front of the absolute strength gap, combat skills are just a joke. Elite soldiers practice their martial arts to the limit, and they are not the opponent of ogres."

"Although my strength is not as strong as the giant rhinoceros, I can easily kill the giant rhinoceros. Moreover, it is not an example that ordinary soldiers kill ogres." Nelson argued unconvinced and said proudly, "according to my training method, ordinary people can improve their strength, physique and endurance to the limit within four years."

"That's why I say it's useless."

Bruce sighed and explained, "the giant rhinoceros is huge and powerful, but they are gentle and have great power, but they have no fighting spirit and wildness. Even ordinary hunters can hunt them. In the same way, ordinary people are just another kind of giant rhinoceros, no matter how strong their body is, no matter how superb their martial arts are, no fighting spirit and courage."

"Strength, speed, physical strength and skills can form combat effectiveness only with courage, will and wisdom. Your training methods may be really clever, but you can't make ordinary people have the spirit of bravery, indomitable will and loyalty." Bruce turned to the nearby guard and said, "Harvey, go and show your skills."

The guard nodded, looked around, and finally walked towards a spruce tree.

Harvey is about thirty years old, with a firm face, sharp eyes, a burly figure, a strong body, vigorous and powerful actions, and looks vigorous and steady. When he walked in front of the spruce, he drew his sword and cut it horizontally. The light of the sword crossed the tough and tight trunk and put the sword into the sheath. The spruce tree with thick and thin thighs crashed into the snow in the sound of "creaking and creaking", arousing a large amount of snow fog, which was amazing. Harvey accurately caught the thrown fine iron spear, a standard spike, and stabbed it straight into an iron fir tree. The sawdust was flying, and the sharp spear tip came out from behind the trunk hugged by one person. With a strong shake, he pulled out the spear and returned to the team without blushing and panting.

"The action is done at one go, clean and neat. Powerful!" Nelson exclaimed.

Bruce smiled and asked the guard, "Harvey, how long have you practiced stabbing and slashing?"

Harvey said respectfully, "my Lord, I don't know. I started training at the age of 7. I practiced war skills at the age of 10. I practiced 100 horizontal cuts, sudden stabs, homeopathic cuts, straight cuts and back attacks every day for so many years, every day, and never stopped."

Bruce nodded and said: "Nelson, the vassal soldiers and noble children of York family, has been trained in martial arts since childhood, not only to exercise strong physique and skills, but also to temper will and blood courage. Including myself, I have also received strict martial arts training. Although these martial arts are not worth mentioning for knights, boring training makes me tough This is one of the reasons why I can become a knight. "

"No matter how strong the farmer is, he is still a farmer. What combat effectiveness can they have? When facing monsters, they just run faster." Bruce shook his head with disdain.

Bruce was telling the truth, but Nelson was unwilling to reject such a clever secret method of Fu Niu's secret form. He wanted to tell Bruce loudly that Fu Niu's secret form and high-level secret method could greatly improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers, but he held back.

"Isn't there a clever martial arts secret?" Nelson asked stiffly.

"If so, how did you bear mercenaries survive on the battlefield?" Bruce asked.

Nelson was speechless. The bear mercenaries fought with the Sassanian. The physical quality and martial arts of the Sassanian soldiers were indeed better than the mercenaries, but they were not invincible. The two sides win or lose each other. In fact, the gap is not very big.

"The martial arts secrets of all families are similar. They pay more attention to training their physique and combat skills, but also to honing their will and courage. No matter how skillful the martial arts of ordinary people are, they can't be the opponent of knights. It's enough for soldiers to master combat skills."

Bruce spoke euphemistically, and Nelson could understand what he meant. The limit of ordinary people is there. No matter how hard you practice, you won't become an ogre. Since you have powerful knights, why do you have to study clever martial arts and secrets?

Victor once described the potential of ordinary people, and Nelson was excited because he was also born of ordinary people. Nelson felt deeply lost when he realized the huge gap between knights and ordinary people.

"Nelson, you don't have to be depressed. Martial arts secret methods have limited promotion to ordinary people, but they are very useful to you." Bruce pondered for a moment and said, "as far as I know, there is a kind of people who have honed their martial arts to a terrible degree!"

"Who?"

Bruce said solemnly, "the ruling warrior among the paladins!"

"The paladins of the church come from ordinary people. They pay special attention to martial arts training. The church has been handed down for thousands of years, and no one knows how many martial arts secrets they have created. However, there has been a record of paladins killing ogre leaders alone, which shows that the martial arts Secrets of the church are very excellent."

"Level 5 paladins are the ruling warriors. They have extraordinary martial arts and cooperate with the divine skills of the paladins. Even the great knights are not necessarily the opponents of the ruling warriors. However, the life span of the paladins is generally short, and most of the ruling knights can't live beyond 60. We suspect that the church has many secrets to stimulate their life potential."

"If you can get the cultivation secret method of the paladin and abandon the parts that damage the body, you may not be able to reach the silver level with your talent."

"I will definitely not lose to the ruling warrior when I reach the peak of my two secret forms." Nelson thought so in his heart, but said, "it's good to use this secret skill to train the militia. The militia are adults, which is suitable for practicing my secret skill."

Seeing that Nelson still refused to give up, Bruce bluntly pointed out: "Victor is brilliant and has many wonderful ideas. But he is still very immature in military common sense. We have studied his big regiment strategy and found that this infantry array is impossible to achieve."

"The secret method of training the body always consumes a lot of meat. Victor wants to train all the militias and form an array. How much food does 50000 people need? Er... Maybe wild boar meat can solve the problem." Bruce paused, shook his head and said: "Do soldiers always have to be equipped? According to Victor's idea, how many materials do infantry phalanx need to be equipped with shield players, spearmen, crossbows and longbowmen to equip 50000 people? Even if the food and equipment can be met, do these militias dare to fight the ant people? When the silver ant leader attacks the phalanx, I guess they will only escape and compete with the trampled dead More dead! "

"Most importantly, we have no land to share with so many people, and the church will not let the militia die in vain."

"The infantry phalanx put forward by Victor has no meaning. It is the most traditional and effective way to form a small team of elite soldiers and cooperate."

10 to 20 elite soldiers form combat teams. The teams cooperate with each other. When they meet weak opponents, they encircle and suppress them. When they meet evenly matched opponents, they form a close formation for confrontation. When they meet invincible strong enemies, they quickly disperse and retreat, so as not to cover the whole army. Nelson is no stranger to this flexible tactic of gathering and dispersing. In fact, all mercenaries adopt it He adopted the mode of team cooperation, but he never thought about the reason. Today, Bruce's words opened Nelson's eyes.

When a silver monster rushes into the infantry square and launches a bloody massacre, even the strongest soldiers will collapse, not to mention the ordinary militia. The difference is that the soldier team can break its tail to survive, retreat orderly and minimize the loss, while the ordinary militia in the square will only flee and trample on each other.

In front of powerful monsters, the infantry square really has no practical significance, unless the soldiers who form the square are as fierce and fearless as ant men.

Nelson was disappointed. Bruce patted him on the shoulder and said: "We have a strong castle. Don't worry even if the ant army really comes. As for the secret method you contributed... To be honest, our York family can't give rewards... Well, I asked Harvey to teach you the family martial arts secret method in exchange... Some herbal secret recipes are still very helpful to the soldiers. What do you think?"

"Good!"

Nelson was overjoyed. The mercenary's desire for martial arts and secret methods was almost deep in the bone marrow. He agreed without hesitation.

"I have a feeling that adults can certainly solve these problems." Nelson added.

"What?" Bruce asked puzzled.

"Supplies, equipment, soldiers' will to fight, land and church. Lord victor will always come up with solutions to all problems!"

Nelson's unwavering confidence in Victor left Bruce speechless.
