The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Chapter 5: Cheor Chen's Adventures (1)

   After the negotiation, the mercenaries did not leave immediately. Instead, they went back to the house and started preparations.

   This is the custom of mercenaries. That is, the arrangements and methods of fighting are determined by the mercenaries themselves, not by the employers. This is also because most of the employers of mercenaries are purely laymen in the battle, and the layman commanding the insider is likely to cause unnecessary losses.

   As soon as he returned to the room, Tetsuchen took out the slender sword he had wrapped in oilcloth and kept it.

This is a mass-produced slender sword. Its blade is more than one inch wide. The one-meter-long blade has a prismatic design to increase the strength of the blade. The cross-section of the blade is also very thick, solid and rich. Resilience, can withstand great strength without breaking.

   The body of the slender sword is not sharp, but the point of the sword is extremely sharp, just like a spear. The prismatic design makes it naturally have four blood grooves, and when it is pierced, it is a blood hole.

   This slender sword is a weapon that Pidro bought for Cheerchen after he took Cheerchen across the sea to Riga. Although his uncle used a hand and a half sword, and his swordsmanship was extremely strong, he didn't seem to have thought of passing his swordsmanship to Cheorchen, but chose the slender sword for Cheorchen.

   At the beginning, Cheorchen was not without thoughts about Uncle Pietro's actions, and for this reason, he had a temper with Uncle Pietro for several days. But when Uncle Pidro took the sword back from the weapon shop, Cheerchen immediately fell in love with this weapon. The slender sword's light body is full of beauty, and it is better to use than the knight sword taught to him by his father.

   Tetsuchen named this slender sword a "hummingbird", and it is cherished and careful to keep it on weekdays. Not only is it wrapped in tarp, but it is also wiped every day.

   The other mercenaries are also preparing weapons. Compared with Cheerchen's slender sword, their weapons were more crude and masculine.

   One of them, the thin and tall Malone sitting behind Cheechen in the church, leaned against the wall of the wooden house and wiped his own Swiss halberd. This weapon, which is more than two meters long, is definitely a big killer as long as there is enough space to display it.

   Next to Malone, Ruth, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, spread his weapon on the bed. He was using a pistol. In addition to the gun itself, the flint, putter, gun, and powder box must be inspected and taken care of.

   And Fidel, the last mercenary who lived with Cheorchen and the others, his weapon is simple-a short broadsword.

   This weapon, along with the small buckler, conquered one after another Indian tribes in the Americas with the Spanish warriors. Whether it was Maya, Aztec or Inca, it fell in the slashing of the dagger and the roar of the musket. With the development of firearms, the small round shield gradually withdrew from the weapon sequence of the Spanish conquistadors, but the short broadsword was still extremely popular among the soldiers and remained in various battlefields.

   Cheorchen’s uncle Piedro did not come back with Cheorchen. He had to ask the mayor Mikhail on the excuse of some specific questions about the robber, and sent Cheorchen and the others away.

   It wasn't until lunch time that Piedro returned to the wooden house.

   "Uncle Pidro, when shall we set out to eliminate the robbers?" Cheerchen asked excitedly when Pidro came back.

   "It's early, Cheerchen, how is your swordsmanship?" Pidro didn't answer Cheerchen's question, but asked about his swordsmanship with a smile. This look was totally different from the way he wanted to teach Cheerchen angrily in the church.

   "I'm very skilled, I practice every day according to the sword notation given by you, uncle, don't you see it every day, uncle!"

   "Well, you practice a few tricks to show us." Piedro said.

   Seeing that there was another good show, Malone and the three also put down their work and took the initiative to help clear a space in the wooden house.

   Tetsuchen drew his sword and stood in the center of the room.

   "Basic sword force." Piedro said.

   Tetsuchen listened to Uncle Pidro's shout, and immediately raised the hilt above his head, with the blade upright, and the tip of the sword pointed towards Uncle Pidro, taking it as an imaginary enemy.

   "Turn offensive to defensive" Piedro shouted again.

   Tetsuchen lowered the hilt slightly, keeping it flush with his arm. The two movements were completed in one go, but they were also pretty.

   "Confrontation."

   Tetsuchen lowered his arms again, put his hands at waist level, turned his palms slightly outwards, the blade slightly tilted to the right, and the point of the sword pointed straight at Pidro's face.

   "Okay, come to an end." Piedro called the end.

   It's not that Pidro is lazy, it's that the sword he gave Chechen only had three strokes of attack, defense, and confrontation. At that time in Europe, swordsmanship was refined by countless masters of swordsmanship over the centuries, and everything that could be left was extremely practical moves. Its offensive, defensive, and confrontation seemed simple, but it actually contained all the skills of swordsmanship. The key.

   "Uncle, how am I doing?" Cheerchen asked when the momentum was over. In the exercise just now, although there were not many moves and the time was not long, Cheerchen's head was puffed up with a little white gas, and a little sweat appeared on his face, which obviously took a lot of effort for Cheerchen.

   "It looks so different." Piedro commented.

   "Then can I fight the robbers together?" Cheerchen asked again.

"no."

   "Why?" Tetsuchen felt aggrieved. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Just now Uncle Pietro praised his sword skills, but he would not let himself go.

   "Fedel, tell me. You were laughing just now." Pedro turned his head and said to Fidel.

   Fidel wiped the tip of his nose. He had been laughing just now. Before becoming a mercenary, Fidel was a Spanish soldier in the Netherlands. The Netherlands is close to Germany. There, Fidel has also seen many so-called swordsmanship masters. In his opinion, Cheerchen's swordsmanship practiced is really exquisite, and maybe even from the swordsmanship of a swordsmanship master, but he committed it. The same mistake as most swordsmanship masters—taking practice as actual combat.

   Tetsuchen's swordsmanship is indeed a stern look, but when he is facing the opponent, his attention is completely focused on the front, and he can't even use the peripheral light. Such a rookie swordsman can fight against a robber who uses the same weapon at his current level. If he fights against a robber who uses a long weapon, as long as his opponent's level is not too high, he only needs to rely on the three skills of swordsmanship. You can remain unbeaten without any flaws. But once the opponent is plural, and the long and short weapons are matched, then the "school swordsman" like Cheorchen can't parry at all.

   When Fidel expressed his meaning in euphemistic terms, the young and energetic Cheechen immediately yelled.

   In Xiao Chechen's eyes, he had been practicing swordsmanship for several months, but in Fidel's eyes, he couldn't even beat two ordinary robbers, which was obviously looking down on himself.

   "Would you like to try?" Instead of helping, Pedro stood on Fidel's side. In fact, what Feder said was exactly the same problem that Pidro saw, and Cheerchen’s swordsmanship took the "feeding move".

On   's side lane, too much emphasis is placed on one-on-one fights.

   "Come on when you come." Cheerchen really got into the set.
