Destiny Thief

Chapter 220 The Banner of Glory II
This is a very simple straight thrust.Victor's sword was unremarkable, from the time he shot it to the white spot on the straw doll's chest with the tip of the wooden sword, the whole process didn't look exciting at all—but Mickey and Norman noticed that When he got up, Victor's shot was very steady. From drawing his sword to bending his arm, to stretching and stretching, from beginning to end, all movements contained a smooth artistic conception.

what does this mean?
As well-known figures of the Lazis Bulma Mercenary Guild, the two of them are older than Rank and Rowan, and they naturally know more things—smooth movements are the basis for changes in swordsmanship, which shows This mercenary captain is definitely a rare expert in swordsmanship.

Among the five of them, only Angela uses a sword. However, she does not use this kind of one-handed long sword, but a double sword. Unlike the sword technique of the one-handed sword, the dual-wielding sword technique has a higher attack frequency. Correspondingly, a more fierce offensive is highly dependent on the flexibility of the hand and the rotation of the pace, which also means that two-handed swordsmanship is not conducive to long-term combat.

However, there are many things that can be learned from it. Unfortunately, Angela was not present at this time - she had just left with the head of the mercenary regiment, Heinrich, and it was said that it was a matter of allocating the barracks.Due to their good strength, the five of them were assigned to the second team by Heinrich.In that city street battle in Avron, the captain Rolfers was accidentally killed. During this period of time, the mercenary regiment has not elected a new captain, and the daily management of this team is temporarily managed by the captain Heinrich himself. serve.

Therefore, if there are no accidents, soon after, maybe after this new year, there will be a new captain in "Song of Ashes"—Mickey, who is cheerful and talkative, gets along with the mercenaries and talks During the process, the news was quickly learned.

He couldn't help but secretly analyze and evaluate the strength of other mercenaries - the mercenary group has a rule of thumb. If you want to rise to the top within this group, in addition to your own accumulated achievements, hard strength is indispensable.Among the mercenaries, there are many thorns with stubborn personalities. If they don't have real skills at hand, it is really difficult to subdue these guys.

Soon, Mitch was sure in his heart that the strength of the five of them was at the level of the mercenary group, second only to the head of the mercenary group, Heinrich, the captain of the first brigade, Victor, and several core elite members——comprehensive analysis : If they stay in the "Song of Ashes" mercenary group for a long time, after gaining a foothold, they have the possibility to go further.

Victor's swordsmanship, they have already seen something from this guidance process.

"Norman, what do you think?"

Mickey walked a few steps, and lightly touched Norman with the toe of his cowhide boots—the warrior with the highest professional level among the five was standing under a deciduous tree, a tall tree common in the Northland. In this season only bare branches remain.The cold wind in the morning made the dead branches sway, and there was a sound of snapping from time to time. Under their feet, a lot of dead branches and leaves had already fallen in the open space of the camp. From time to time, soldiers walked over here, making light rustling noises.

Norman's gaze seemed to freeze.After his companion's greeting rang in his ears, he turned around and exchanged his opinions and evaluations with him in a low voice.

"Very strong."

"Compared to you?"

"Hard to say."

"Hey, Norman, you are really confident. I heard that every regular mercenary regiment has a rule of challenging the superiors. Don't you plan to try it?"

"Uh... I'm going to save up some money and go back to Boulma to see Lacey before the new year."

"So you have no intention of staying here any longer?"

"Perhaps, it will come back...but it's not certain."

……

The two chatted word by word, and the topic shifted from the sword skills of the mercenary captain Victor in front of them to their respective plans.The mercenary Norman, as the only one among the five who has a family, has many ideas that are different from theirs.

The other four are already very satisfied with the mercenary group staying in Afron.Thinking of this, almost everyone's heart was filled with gratitude to Ge Luo, the sword master of the City Lord's Mansion.

The mercenaries in the venue were still sweating profusely.

In the western mountain forest of Aflon, the barracks were built along a mountain wall, surrounded by a dense forest.In this early winter season, the forest is covered with dead leaves, and the screams of the young mercenaries echo in the wind——

In front of the barracks, there are at least a hundred young people active in the open space of Afron City Square. Most of them are practicing separately, and there is no technical guidance from other masters in the mercenary regiment—but everything is fine. There is an exception, the young man in front of Victor is a special alternative in such a picture.

"Mr. Marisas, I'm sorry, but I still can't do it."

The young man raised the practice wooden sword again. He imitated Victor's movements and thrust the sword towards the scarecrow. Although the movement had completely slowed down to an extremely slow level, judging from the trajectory of the sword's edge, Look, his skill still has a lot of deformation compared to the standard - the wood-white sword body shakes into a series of waves in the air.After the young man finished this action, he put down his sword. His voice became smaller and smaller, and he said to Victor beside him.

At this time, the sunlight gradually dispersed the white mist in the early morning. Some mercenaries in the field finished their daily drills. They began to watch from a distance, and various talking voices came and went:

"Look, that little guy."

"How did such a skinny little boy come to us?"

"He should go back to his mother's arms to nurse!"

"That's right, look at him like that, haha... I think any girl would be more powerful than him."

As the actual first mercenary regiment of Afron, the quality of these mercenaries in "Song of Ashes" is not much higher than that of their rude counterparts-the young man's clumsy skills seem to be worse than that of an ordinary Novices in swordsmanship, these people watched for a while intentionally or unintentionally, and gradually began to talk about this scene without knowing it.

The young man inevitably heard these whispered discussions, and his expression became even more depressed.

"These guys."

Victor snorted dissatisfiedly in his nasal cavity, he turned his head, and stared at these mercenaries fiercely.These mercenaries who were laughing at the end of the drill were like a mouse seeing a cat, and suddenly calmed down. They returned to their usual serious appearance, or walked towards the barracks in groups of three or four, or followed the previous posture, Continuing with the practice of martial arts——Victor retracted his gaze, he glanced at the deviated sword marks on the straw doll, and couldn't help but a wry smile on his face.

"Andrea, you need a more suitable practice method right now."

His tone became serious. ,
