After the grand funeral, the town of Moramachi returned to calm. Unfortunately, those who could not calm down, whether they were mercenaries who were used to living a idle life or people who were highly motivated, were seizing all the time to practice hard. When an undead creature attacks, you may be lucky enough to escape with a little more strength. In the town of Moramachi, a trend of large-scale military training slowly emerged.
Unexpectedly, more than a month later, the large army of undead creatures suddenly disappeared. Occasionally, only a few or a dozen zombies could be seen, wandering aimlessly outside the town. Every time they appeared, The mercenaries who had worked up their energy would rush out and chop down the undead like melons and vegetables, just to let off some steam.
Everyone knows that the base of undead creatures can now be described as huge, so no matter how calm the atmosphere is, no one dares to take it lightly.
On this day, An Fei took Susanna and the couple from the Shadow Mercenary Group to watch Jiu Morocco train mercenaries. In fact, this kind of training was painful for both parties. The mercenaries complained endlessly that the queue training was too It's monotonous, and they don't think standing up straight and walking evenly will be of any help in actual combat. Kumarakusa was even more miserable. He couldn't figure out why the mercenaries were so clumsy! ? Normally, their performance was pretty good, but when it came to battle drills, the infantry square formation that was supposed to be neat and orderly immediately fell into chaos, and the mercenaries turned into a group of animals, including rampaging buffaloes and jumping up and down. Monkeys and some stragglers took the initiative to break away from the battle line and swarmed to both sides like a pack of wild wolves. Kumarakosha knew that they wanted to outflank the enemy in front of them, because he had corrected them countless times, but... please! In a real battle, outflanking is definitely necessary, but that will be completed by other infantry phalanxes. Their task is to hold the line of defense and try their best to strangle the enemy's effective forces. What is going on
Although Jiu Moluo Kesha has rich combat experience. But they are a bit old-fashioned. Mercenaries are good at fighting freely. If their formation is broken up by a group of monsters, even if only a few mercenaries get together, they can immediately start cooperating, including main attack, main resistance, and support. But It's a bit difficult to ask hundreds of them to perform the same action repeatedly at the same time. Moreover, Jiu Moluo Kesha used the wrong method. In order to boost the morale of the mercenaries, he decided that the victors in the exercise could eat the food of the defeated. Now the food distribution was rationed, and the losers could only rely on leftovers to fill their stomachs. In the first exercise, insistence The side that maintained the infantry phalanx was defeated by the 'free fighting' side. After starving for a whole night, the mercenaries realized what they were doing. Who cares about battle formations? Take out all the skills you have to keep the bottom of the box, anyway, just work hard!
Now the place was in chaos again, and the wooden swords in the hands of the mercenaries were stained with white ash. According to the rules, if a vital part is hit and gray-white marks are left, the soldier is killed and must withdraw from the battlefield immediately, but there are always people who cheat in order to have a sumptuous dinner. When the enemy saw it, they felt dissatisfied, and naturally they also cheated. The result was that you cheated, I cheated, and everyone cheated together. In such a heated battle, there was not even a single casualty. Especially those strong and rampaging mercenaries, their whole bodies have turned almost snow-white, but the wooden swords in their hands are still powerful. If they can have such a defense that ignores attacks on a real battlefield, they will definitely He is a super strong man of the first level of Sword Saint.
Long Heling laughed so hard outside the court that he couldn't even straighten his waist. How could this be an interpretation of war? It was just a group of gangsters fighting in groups. Fortunately, grudges were not allowed to be used during the exercise, otherwise there would have been casualties.
An Fei glanced at the couple and smiled silently. He never asked them to join any group, gave them food, shelter, and freedom. As a result, they felt very embarrassed and took the initiative to take on tasks several times, but An Fei Fei refused their request on the grounds that they were injured. In fact, he is playing a long game to catch the big fish. Zombies are extremely sensitive to human scent, but they can hide next to zombies without being discovered. This proves that they have a unique and effective sneak method. They are the best candidates to be scouts. Now there is a magic group responsible for guarding, and their efforts are not needed for the time being, but there will definitely be places where they are needed in the future.
Jiumo Luo Gesha walked over dejectedly. He gave up, at least today, he did not announce an order and allowed the mercenaries to continue fighting. He walked up to An Fei and said in a low tone: "Sir , they may be a qualified mercenary, but they will never be a qualified warrior, I'm sorry, I let you down."
"Kumo Luo Gesha, I think you misunderstood what I meant." An Fei laughed: "I asked you to train them, not to change them into something else, but to give full play to their strengths."
"Strengths? This is their strength." Kumarakusa pointed with his hand and said with a wry smile.
"You have been in the army for a long time, and your habits are different from theirs." An Fei shook his head and said, "I have an idea, let's talk about it in the evening."
“It’s really lively
A fight started? "Alice walked over with a smile, holding something light in her hand.
"Alice, what are you holding in your hand?" An Fei asked curiously.
"It's the crossbow just made by the dwarves." Alice handed the crossbow to An Fei.
"When did the dwarves make crossbows?" Kumarakusa asked in surprise. The crossbow has been around for a long time, but it has always been despised by people. They think the crossbow is a shameless weapon, full of subversion, because a beggar who is about to starve to death can use the crossbow to defeat knights, swordsmen and magicians. The divisions caused damage, but the kings of various countries attached great importance to this weapon. It was precisely because of their support that the widely criticized crossbow was not banned, but became more and more sophisticated.
"Don't underestimate dwarves, they are the smartest craftsmen in the world." Alice said slowly: "Sir, please give it a try."
An Fei looked around and selected an earthen wall. He was very familiar with weapons such as crossbows. Although the craftsmanship between the two worlds was very different, many things with the same function could be clearly understood at a glance. An Fei raised his hand and pulled the trigger. The crossbow arrow shot out with a screaming sound, hitting the earth wall.
Then a stream of white smoke came out, and the crossbow arrow softened at a speed that could be detected by the naked eye, until it turned into bright red liquid, flowing down the wall, making a sizzling sound wherever it passed.
"Is it really... a magic arrow?" Kumarakusa opened his eyes wide. He had just sensed a faint fluctuation of magic power.
"Yes, it's a pity that Hagen is not here." Alice sighed: "We have so many magicians. With Hagen's help, we can produce better magic arrows. Those goblins only master the most superficial alchemy." , at most it can only go so far.”
"This is already very good." An Fei nodded.
"It's far from enough, sir." Alice said softly: "Magic arrows all have a certain sputtering ability, and this kind can only be regarded as the lowest level."
"It's better than nothing." An Fei thought for a while: "Suzanne, if someone attacks you with this kind of crossbow, can it cause harm to you?"
Susanna shook her head, and Alice smiled and said, "Sir, you underestimate the combat effectiveness of high-level swordsmen. Only the most sophisticated magic arrows can pose a certain threat to Mrs. Susanna."
"What if thousands of people attack you with these crossbows?"
"I'm not stupid enough to stand there and be a target."
At this moment, a dwarf ran over excitedly. When he was still more than ten meters away from everyone, he stood there and raised the thing in his hand and shouted: "My lord, it has been made!"
It was also a crossbow, but it was very small, about the same size as a dwarf's hand. Alice nodded and said, "Bring it over and show it to your lord."
As soon as the dwarf took a step, something flew over from the school field. It was a wooden sword that flew out during the fight. The wooden sword drew an arc in the air and hit the dwarf on the back of the head. The dwarf staggered, and a sharp sound broke through the air. The crossbow arrow in the dwarf's hand was shot out.
The dwarf was walking towards An Fei, and the crossbow was also pointing at An Fei. Alice took a step forward. Unfortunately, she was not a swordsman, and her magic skills were also very low. You can imagine the reaction speed of an ordinary woman. When she started to move The crossbow arrow had already passed through her. Morocco touched his waist, but found nothing. He had already taken off his long sword before the exercise started. Only Susanna had the fastest reaction. The long sword was thrust out halfway and then suddenly stopped in the air, because At this time, An Fei's hand had already grasped the crossbow arrow.
Everyone showed a look of horror. It was nothing that An Fei could catch the crossbow arrow. What shocked them was that the crossbow arrow stopped quietly in An Fei's hand without any change, but it was obviously a magic arrow!
An Fei turned his wrist and released his fingers. The crossbow arrow fell to the ground and instantly turned into a ball of bright red gunpowder. The solid yellow earth was burned with a deep mark by the gunshot.
Everyone was silent. Long Heling opened his mouth so wide that he could almost fit a fist into it. This phenomenon was unbelievable to them. Only those two words in the legend could provide a reasonable explanation for it. Susanna's expression was the most normal. She knew the little secret between Anfei and Alice. At first, Anfei just asked Alice to use magic to attack him. In the end, he became more and more arrogant and repeatedly snatched Alice's control of the small fireball. Of course, little Alice will complain to Susanna when she feels bullied, but An Fei's performance at the moment only represents progress.
"Bring the crossbow." An Fei said softly.
The dwarf was dumbfounded and couldn't hear An Fei's words at all. Jiu Moluo Gesha grabbed the crossbow, turned around and handed it to An Fei. An Fei looked at it for a moment, clasped the crossbow with his fingers, shook his head and said, "Too It's sensitive, this crossbow will cause accidental damage, just like today, take it back and modify it."
