"First, give me an axe," said Ask.

"Like this?" the narrator said, and immediately a huge axe appeared on Ask's shoulder.

"Yeah," Ask said, "Okay, as a bandit leader, it is generally unlikely that he has received professional martial arts training, but to be able to climb to the position of leader, his physical fitness should be relatively outstanding, and he has participated in many life-and-death battles, so his moves tend to be simple, direct, and rough."

"For example, the vertical chop. As the killer move of the bandit leader, the signature vertical chop should concentrate all his strength, so the power will be extremely huge. Even if the opponent tries to block, his axe will easily cut off the opponent's head and split it."

He demonstrated by raising the axe with one hand and chopped it hard on the ground in front of him.

"So that's how it is?" Along with the voice of the narration, the bandit leader also shouted loudly, raised the battle axe in his hand and chopped it down hard, smashing a hole in the ground.

As a writer who often went in and out of copies of anomalies during his lifetime, although Wilhelm did not know martial arts, he had seen many battles. At this time, imitating Ask's movements, the attack movements imitated by the bandit leader were very lifelike.

"There are a few areas for improvement," Ask said. "First, the force should be a little stronger, enough to make a big hole when it hits the ground. Second, the axe was raised too high before the attack, it should be lower..."

He proposed several improvements and explained in detail why they were made, using very professional words and expressions. Wilhelm followed his advice and redesigned every aspect of the bandit leader's character, and he felt that the fight became more realistic.

"Okay, that's it." Ask nodded with satisfaction, with a style similar to that of when he was communicating with the product manager of the technical department.

"So next, we have to design fighting moves for the three protagonists?" asked the narrator.

"No, we plan to play freely with the battle between the three protagonists," said Ask.

Free play certainly exists in acting, for example, the sudden slap of Emperor Kangxi in "Kangxi the Great", or the Joker in "Batman" pressing the remote control but it didn't explode, but he pressed the buttons frantically and suddenly an explosion scared him so much that the remote control dropped. These famous scenes are essentially the free play of the actors and have deviated from the setting of the script.

Due to shooting efficiency issues, most crews don’t like actors to perform freely, because if the effect is not good, they will have to reshoot.

But Wilhelm is different. As a dead man, he has plenty of time, so he can afford to wait.

Since Ask said so, Wilhelm decided to let the actors perform freely and see the effect first. So the bandit leader, who had adjusted himself, moved and chopped at the three people with a battle axe in hand!

The three of them quickly jumped out of the attack range, and Eleanor even subconsciously stabbed out with the staff in her hand while jumping back.

Dragon Spear!

"NG!" The scene froze again, and the narrator reminded, "Ms. Eleanor, the character you play, Christina, is a wizard. Please don't use your staff as a spear, okay?"

"Mr. Wilhelm." Ask said, "Have you ever heard of the profession of 'Battle Mage'?"
