Mercenaries Under the Sky

Later in the year, on the eighth day of February each winter, as long as there is time, the four continents with swords as their main weapons will take the time to participate in the annual sword ritual ceremony in a small town called Xilin in the mouth of the Lion River on the mainland of Eminor.

It is said that on that day of the year, there are more than 50,000 mini-swords sold on Xilin Island with the engraving of the head of the mercenary king Amy in accordance with the ice blade 1/10 ratio.

On the eighth day of February in the 3rd winter of the magic calendar, the small mercenary regiment officially embarked on Xilin Island. From that day, the sword truly possessed the strength of the ancestor of a hundred soldiers from an auxiliary weapon. It is precisely because of the integrity of the mercenary king Amy who has been friends with the sword for a lifetime, the selfless character of the world as the public, the sword has also become synonymous with lofty martial arts.

It is on this small island that the swordsman profession evolved into four major professions: big swordsman, blocking two-handed swordsman, wild eagle great swordsman, and magic swordsman.

—— "Legend of the Mercenary King" Chapter 21 Magic Sword Wild Eagle Magical Calendar 3 years Winter 8th February, set foot on the small mercenary regiment that was still unknown in Xilin Island at that time, a total of 25 people, total: mercenary king Amy, sacred dragon Cavaliers Great Castle, Black-faced Dragon King Chi Aotian, Furious Dwarf King Horns, Necroman Barbas and 20 Junior mercenaries.

They were greeted by a team of swordsmen from the original Lion River Defence Forces stationed on the island. 200 swordsmen greeted the following team under the team leader. Of course, this was not their original intention. Why should we welcome a group of children? If it was not the oppression of the generals in the defense zone, they would have gone back to the camp to sleep.

What kind of soldiers are these? As a 15-year veteran in the army, Barbas frowned immediately. According to the soldier information delivered by Fan Viscount, the average age is about 25 years old. Of course, if we add 100 40-year-old veterans to 100 15-year-old juvenile soldiers, this figure is extremely accurate. The sea breeze carried the smell of sea water but could not cover up the stench from the soldiers who had not bathed for a long time. According to the rules of the welcoming ceremony of the Imperial Army, "All the soldiers stand with a white sword in their hands at a 45-degree angle." In fact, these soldiers did impeccable, all the swords were also at a 45-degree angle, just like Not holding but holding a sword, snow white? Well, if a piece of salt that caused the white flowers on the sword after being immersed in seawater often is also white.

Amy's face was very calm, and she still kept a smile on the corner of her mouth, just like the elite warriors in the world in front of him. He didn't delay much time. He simply waved all the soldiers and let the soldiers disperse. Only the Captain Zheng Fu, Qu Chang, and Guerrilla were left behind. In fact, only these people in this army are in their 35s.

"Is there a hotel on the island? Which deputy squad leader took Uncle Barbas to cover all the hotels, and the soldiers stayed in the hotel tonight to keep it clean. Another squad leader took Horns to the camp Today, looking for a carpenter to buy the necessary items, starting tomorrow, except for morning exercises from 5:00 to 9:00 in the morning, all the time is used to repair the camp. Of course, in order to ensure that everyone can get up on time tomorrow, I invited one for everyone The best trumpeter. "After that, Amy motioned to Chi Aotian to recruit Xiaohei from the sky. And let Xiaohei shout twice: "Si-Ang, Si-Ang." A loud sound that had never been heard on Xilin Island sounded, and everyone stopped and looked at the extra on the flat ground. The huge monster is already dumbfounded. Luer watched Xiaohei fly down and spread his wings. By the way, he also shot a little magic of lightning on the little black hair. This is the most common game between them. Anyway, Xiaohei is immune to all magic.

"Oh, this trumpeter, the person who likes to use his mouth and sleep lazily is affectionate." Amy said slowly. The smile on his lips was even thicker, obviously satisfied with the effect. Then, together with the captains, a simple morning exercise plan was made in the square, and all the cadres went back to inform the soldiers.

And regardless of the fighting state of the Necromancer, from a scary point of view, it is much stronger than Lu'er. All the soldiers who witnessed the undead dragon and majesty have left a deep impression, and they went out on time early the next morning.

How much money is easy to handle, this is a fixed truth.

Soldiers who can't eat enough for a long time can suddenly eat delicious meals, sleep in comfortable beds, and add a lot of strength to their bodies. Early in the morning of the next day, all the soldiers got up on time, and under the leadership of their respective leaders, they began training that they never had. This was followed by a fragrant breakfast. After full physical exercise, it was extremely appetizing. After the breakfast, the soldiers began to level the old camp completely and restart construction.

According to the selection of the imperial team soldiers, the best soldiers enter the spear camp, followed by the bow and arrow camp, the worst soldiers will enter the swordsman camp. And the swordsman battalion has never had a chance to enter the battlefield, the key is that the strength is too bad.

While training with the soldiers and carefully observing the soldiers' performance, Amy was quite satisfied with the unit.

When the empire chooses soldiers, it still has stricter checks, so the average quality is better. Most of the soldiers who entered the swordsman battalion were relatively small and could not cooperate with the original tall spearmen. Not to mention the use of long bows, they were eliminated, but this is quite satisfactory in line with Amy. Special needs.

Two weeks later, seeing the performance of these well-dressed and well-trained soldiers, it is no longer reminiscent of what I saw when I first landed on the island. As the military director of Xilin Island, Amy made the first personnel challenge: all soldiers over the age of 35 collectively left the military, except for some who were transferred to the Huotou Army, all others joined the peasants, established by the small mercenary group, Small-scale mercenary groups pay salaries uniformly for fishery, animal husbandry, and business sideline organizations. Those who are willing to leave Xilin and return to their former residence can pay home return fees.

The 200-person team suddenly became 132, almost half less. Then, Amy posted publicly on the island and recruited. Unlike the Imperial recruiting, Amy recruited according to the model of the mercenary group. According to the soldier ’s ability, each soldier can earn 8-12 gold coins per month, which is very different from the imperial soldier ’s subsidy of only 2 gold coins a month. An ordinary Xilin Island fisherman The income from fishing a month is basically about 6 gold coins, and the mercenary group also packs and eats. More than 800 people registered in Xilin Township with more than 2,000 people at once. After strict selection, 120 young adults aged between 18 and 30 joined the Swordsman Battalion of the Small Mercenary Corps.

Soon, the new soldiers discovered that Amy did not want to train everyone into a type of swordsman. The first weapons provided by the blacksmiths of Xilin Township for the small mercenary corps are in place, all of which are swords, a total of 5 types. These swords are obviously different from traditional knight swords. The role of traditional knight swords is mainly used to pierce opponents after the knight's charge. Therefore, the sword needs to be narrow and slender, which is not only easy to stab, but also easy to ride. The power of Ma Chongfeng is pulled out, and the texture is preferably a cast steel sword, which is so flexible that it will not be broken by armor and other armor during the sprint.

The most sent to the sword is the two-handed epee sword: a total of 300, weighing 50 pounds, and no blade. Obviously, this is a long sword for training, which can ensure that all soldiers can guarantee sufficient training intensity during training.

All the soldiers, according to Amy's instructions, received long swords they had never used before. Almost 50% of the newly joined swordsmen received a two-handed giant sword that is more than 1.6 meters long. The average height of this group of soldiers is more than 1.8 meters. The hands of the net suddenly grasped the two-handed sword, and they still felt very uncomfortable, but they soon found out that such a large sword was very simple to use. Except for simple sword fighting and agile movements, Amy had almost nothing for them. Claim. Swordsmen holding big swords have only a few simple movements besides cutting wood every day: diagonal split, straight split, diagonal knock, rotating diagonal split ...

Another 50% of the newly thin swordsmen who joined the swordsman received a relatively slender two-handed sword. This kind of sword has never been seen before. It is made of pure steel and is 1.4 meters long with a slender body. But behind the blade tip, obviously more cast steel is much thicker than other parts, even if holding the sword with both hands, you can still feel the weight coming from the blade tip. Amy's demands on them are extremely complicated. Even the routine work of cutting wood every day must be carried out in the choppy boat, and the subsequent fencing must be carried out in the boat. And require them to use straight thrusts as much as possible, learn to use the weight at the tip of the sword when chopping, and try to use the front section as the chopping surface.

Most swordsmen get a black two-handed sword with a standard of 1.5 meters. The difficulty for them is between the first two.

There are also about 50 special two-handed swords that nobody uses at all.

After setting up everyone, Amy asked Chi Hanfeng and Horns to take charge of the training work, and asked Barbas to return to the northern confederation of the empire with 10 young mercenaries. All of them received Xilin Island to participate in the whole training a few months ago, and the young mercenaries under the age of 14 continued to exercise their physical fitness in the ice and snow.

After arranging everything, Amy and Daqingshan embarked on a journey to find a vulture.

The vulture is a huge raptor living on the coastline. Generally, the wing of the vulture is about 2.5 meters wide, and the larger one is called the thunder eagle. The wings are about 3 meters. The vulture is about 1.5 meters high, and the feathers of numb color are tightly attached to the body. Because of the frequent bathing in the sea water, there is always a thin layer of grease on the feathers. It can also fly normally on rainy days. The vulture has only white feathers on its head, and brown eyes can see things 10 kilometers away. The vultures use their mouths and claws to hunt for fish or small beasts. These two parts of the vultures are extremely threatening to humans and other races. Because the general vulture is still relatively small, it can only take people between 130 and 150 pounds. Therefore, the vulture knight rarely wears iron armor, and the most is leather armor.

Training the vulture is also a very hard work, and it is irreplaceable. The warrior who wants to become a vulture knight must personally contact and train the vulture, otherwise the vulture will be difficult to follow the knight's command.

Compared with capturing vultures, training vultures is still an easy task. Capturing live vultures is an extremely difficult and dangerous thing. Orion, who usually provides the army with reconnaissance vultures all year round, touches the cliff at night. In the nest of the vultures on the top, taking advantage of the characteristics that the vultures can't see at night, after being covered with a net, they are sturdyly tied and then carried down-this kind of aerial work mortality is extremely high.

Of course, if there is a small amount of capture of the vulture, there is another way. The hunter is put on an extremely thick and generous lion coat-the lion coat is drenched with water in advance. The size of the lion coat should completely cover the hunter, and the wire is used on the lion coat. Tied the chicken intestines-the chicken intestines should also be stringed with thin wire, and then people will lie down on the hillside with the clothes. After seeing the chicken intestines that he likes to eat, he will carefully observe if there are any traps nearby-of course, he ca n’t see the hunter under the clothes, and after confirming that there is no danger, he will drop from the sky and grab huge amounts of claws to grab the food again. And up-of course, this is just an imagination. The wet drencher weighs more than 120 pounds. Although this weight can also be carried by the vulture, but without any preparation, this weight is enough to tip the vulture on the ground. There is no way for the grounded vulture to break free of the iron wire that is already wrapped in its paws. At this time, the hunter can come out and use the net to buckle the vulture ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ and then capture it.

Of course, the vulture is a very aggressive animal, and any kind of capture will pay a great price. At least 50% of the vultures strive to resist being killed by mistake during the capture process.

Amy and Daqingshan quickly found a large number of vultures on the seaside cliffs more than 50 miles away from Xilin Island. On the cliffs 40 meters above the ground, there are densely packed 50 vulture nests, and there are a large number of nests under the nests. Eating the wreckage of the remaining fish and small animals smells bad. The vulture flew in the roaring sea breeze, like a fairy in the sky.

In the small shack, Daqingshan narrowed his eyes to observe the every move of the vulture for 3 days, and finally bite his ear with Amy. Amy heard Daqingshan said clearly: "Go back and bring people, give me 3 days Time, I grabbed the adult vultures here. "Although I was surprised, there is nothing else to be believed in Daqingshan-while other children are still spoiling their parents, Daqingshan has begun to hunt the most dangerous The beast too. Amy patted Daqingshan's shoulder and left with confidence.

Three days later, when Amy and 57 small mercenary soldiers came under the Krypton Cliff again, there was no longer a flying Kryok in the sky, but everyone could clearly see Luer lying on the ground In a crooned eagle nest, he greeted everyone with his happy head out.

Outside the shacks of Daqing Mountain, all the vultures were tied and sturdy, and each stood like a wooden pile on the wall outside the shack. It seemed that there were at least 80 or so. Unlike the vultures captured by the army, each of these vultures has no blood on each body, and it seems that they were caught without any battle.

I ca n’t say that the master: Exam questions-for a reasonable reason, how did the Daqingshan capture the vulture? (There are no prizes, just look at the knowledge of young people now.)
