"Nice to meet you," Theodora said gracefully. "Captain Ask, your mercenary team is very special... I see that the majority of the members are women?"
"Yes," Ask said, "but this is not the result of my deliberate selection, but because the right people I met happened to be women."
Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway... he added in his mind.
"And they all happen to be beauties?" Theodora said humorously, with a hint of amusement in her tone.
When the girls heard the comment "beautiful girl", they all smiled happily.
"Yes, it's just a coincidence." Ask replied, "You can see that although most of my team members are women, there is no other common factor other than gender."
"They come from different nationalities, have different physical features, and even have different personalities and habits, which is enough to prove that I am not selecting teammates based on my personal preferences."
Maybe it's just because your hunting diet is rather diverse... Theodora thought cautiously, and then she heard Ask said:
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's continue introducing the team's strengths. My teaching plan has already started the second class. If you are interested, you can also sit in."
"Okay." Theodora nodded.
"Girls!" Ask cleared his throat and said to the girls, "In the last class, we talked about the eight tactics, and everyone should have practiced them. In this class, we will talk about defense and evasion."
"Peggy, step out!"
Peggy walked out with a cold face and pulled out the dagger tied to the outside of her thigh.
"Attack me head-on once," Ask said.
Paige did not answer, but disappeared instantly. The next second, she appeared in front of Ask, and stabbed his chest with her short sword, but Ask's long sword blocked it.
"So fast!" Theodora's eyes slightly opened, and her pupils suddenly shrank. There was no doubt that this Peggy must be a superhuman, and her physical strength was more explosive and controlled.
If she was the one facing the attack, she would have been pierced through the heart by now... How could Achilles withstand such a high-speed attack? I'm afraid his strength is much stronger than I had previously judged.
"Blocking is the most basic defensive action." Ask maintained his posture and demonstrated, "It should be noted that when the enemy's attack is successfully blocked by you, the enemy's body will enter an abnormal state called 'rigidity'. In the rigid state, the enemy's arm muscles are temporarily paralyzed due to violent vibrations, and they are unable to move."
"The normal freezing time may be less than 0.1 seconds. However, the stronger the enemy's attack, the longer the freezing time will be after being successfully blocked."
"If the time is long enough, you can seize this opportunity to counterattack. The enemy in a state of paralysis cannot cope with it." Ask said, and ordered Peggy, "Attack again."
Peggy nodded and swung the dagger again. Ask blocked with his sword, and at the moment of the collision, his right knee was raised hard and hit Peggy's lower abdomen. The latter flew backwards and rolled on the ground for several rounds.
