Chapter 14 The Scout's Counterattack (3)
When laymen watch the excitement, experts look at the tricks, ordinary people feel that they are just holding hammers and knocking around. But only Stan, a guy who has been fighting for the iron for half his life, understands how profound the forging strength behind Roddy's hand is.
The strength, accuracy, heat control, and the steps when polishing are not learned immediately by talking. Stan believes that he can't seem to be as perfect as Roddy.
Fortunately, Roddy did not forge his weapons but made changes. Otherwise, not to mention a few hours, it would probably be a few weeks. But just making the most original modifications to the two knives still took Roddy three or four hours.
Late at night, he finally completed the transformation, and Stan stood aside and never left. Roddy felt sore and soft all over, after all, his physical fitness was completely unable to keep up with the ranger he used to be. However, looking at the two satisfactory scimitars in his hand, he also had more confidence in the next battle plan.
After moving his stiff body, Roddy picked up the two scimitars and walked out of the blacksmith shop. In the moonlight in front of the shop, he made the simplest set of double-sword basic movements - including chopping, chopping, parrying and all kinds of the most practical combat skills on the battlefield. Although it is only level 2, the solemn momentum in every move is something that scouts who only know how to be fancy can never learn.
He adapted to the weight of the two scimitars, but he didn't know that Stan, who had been watching silently, had been frightened by his sword techniques.
What is a soldier?
Simply put, it is the killing machine. This is the most essential thing, the ultimate purpose of every soldier being cultivated.
But among the scouts in Nolan Village, except Ruger, almost no young people could meet the standard of "soldiers" - this was Stan's conclusion before. But now, when he looked at Roddy under the moonlight, he felt that the young people in front of him were the most "complete" killing machine.
Looking at Roddy's figure, Stan remembered something in a daze. Finally, he sighed secretly, shook his head for some reason, then turned around and left. Not long after, he came over with a bag - Roddy had already put away his knife at this moment, wiped his sweat and was about to return the tools to Stan and thank him, but he didn't know that the blacksmith had handed the bag to him.
"This is…"
Roddy looked down and found that there was a strange-style arm armor in the bag.
Generally speaking, metal arm armor will not be equipped with soldiers other than heavy infantry. The knights wear full-body heavy armor, while ordinary infantry only has a simple layer of leather armor, so this also makes arm armor a scarce for most soldiers - but its function is not important for ordinary soldiers, because heavy arm armor will make soldiers swing their swords much slower. In this case, experienced veterans will not wear arm armor even if they have arm armor. However, it is naturally not that simple to take out this set of things at this moment.
For Roddy, who has a double-wielding scimitar, he has no way to defend with a shield like an ordinary soldier. The only way to resist the attack is to dodge and block with a scimitar. Once he has this set of arm armor, his protection ability will definitely soar significantly.
"I don't think I'll wear it in my life, but seeing you, I think this arm armor shouldn't be eroded by time..."
Stan looked at this set of arm armor and told his story with emotion - his grandfather was once a heavy infantry in the kingdom. When this army first appeared, the kingdom selected the strongest young people. However, after Stan's grandfather died on the battlefield, no talent in the family who could be competent for heavy infantry appeared. Among the equipment passed down, only this set of arm armor can be used. Stan's father failed to inherit the glory of the kingdom, and Stan himself became a blacksmith who had been making a lifelong iron. His son died of a serious illness three years ago. At this moment, seeing the strength shown by Roddy, Stan, who felt a little sour, finally made this decision.
Giving this arm armor may be considered as Stan burying his former sustenance... Roddy can understand the sadness of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man, but he cannot really understand it.
After Stan said the words, Roddy seemed a little stunned - because there was a line of small words that others could not see in front of her: "Stan's wish (full)".
In the past, Roddy probably wouldn't even have the idea of looking at Stan at first glance. He has always been the purest player, and his actions are based on interests and ignore all external objects. But now, he holds these arm armors in both hands, but he doesn't know what to answer.
All the illusory things in the past became the reality in front of him. Roddy, who had dealing with NPCs with a mask in the past, suddenly felt a little dizzy. Looking at Stan's lonely face, Roddy even felt a little sad. Finally, he took the arm armor and bent down to thank him, saying goodbye to the blacksmith who ended up dying in the war like an ordinary young man.
War is ruthless, and Roddy has realized this more and more. In the past, he only realized everything in the game, but now it becomes a reality, his mood has become heavier that he could not have experienced before.
Carter, Ruger, and even the Dick Quartermaster. These NPCs have now become vivid characters in their lives. They have their own stories and emotions, as well as their own worries and dreams. Roddy feels more and more that he is slowly integrating into this dreamlike world.
Putting his arm armor away, he was ready to pack up some items that could be used next - the only thing Roddy can do now is to do his best to accomplish the established goals in every mind.
As one of the former professional players of life, he can make some foods that improve his attributes even when the raw materials are scarce. Fortunately, after Ruger agreed to tomorrow's combat operation, the entire scout team, including Dick of the Military Service, understood Roddy's current status as "temporary leadership", so he did not struggle to get raw materials from Dick who had not woken up and made some "hemorrhagic bandages" through his own means.
These are the most basic skills in "first aid", but at some point they are really something that can save lives. After they are ready, Roddy fell asleep and waited for the arrival of dawn the next day.
...
The village of Nolan was a bit cold in the morning, and everything looked the same as before. The farmer carried a hoe and walked on the dirt road, occasionally complaining that it was difficult to pay the taxes for the lord. The farmer who returned from milking was carrying a wooden barrel and covered his head with a gauze scarf, chatting about the gossip in the village.
The only thing that is strange is perhaps the members of the scout team.
The sound of soldiers joking and joking disappearing, and in the bustling small square, they were tidying up their luggage in silence.
For them, the enemy they are facing today is so powerful that they make their legs weak. Except for veterans like Ruger, the young scouts could not hide their nervousness. Their faces were pale, their legs were a little sore, and they tied the knots too tightly when wearing armor... All signs told Roddy who was yawning - the combat power of this army was really lacking.
But who would be a natural elite soldier? Roddy knew this very well, so today's mission means more "training" to him.
"Sording has already gone to Hollier City."
After having breakfast, Carter had already detected the movements of the "boss". Obviously, the news showed that their actions would not be noticed by the guy who was greedy for at least five days.
The soldiers who heard this had an inexplicable feeling in their hearts - hope Soding is there? Then they might not have to face the orcs; hope he is not there? Then they might become the hero who saves the border villages.
Before going to the battle, the raw melon seeds felt a lot in their hearts, but the veterans were only numb... Ruge silently wiped his sword, as if he was participating in a battle when he was young, and he was left with the most focused state.
However, Roddy was not in a hurry to lead the entire scouts. He counted the number of people. The two teams included a total of fifteen people. They couldn't rush to the orc stronghold with about 25 people. So after summoning all scouts, he issued a very simple and surprising order - "Rest and stand by on the spot."
"We attack at night so that the winning rate will be greater, and before dark, I'm responsible for telling you how to deal with these green-skinned bastards."
When Roddy spoke, he was completely devoid of his cowardly appearance, and he was full of confidence. "Leaders must always have their own personal charm." This sentence is indeed reflected in Roddy, the rebirth of the rebirth. His confidence comes from countless battles against orcs.
Ruger and Carter looked at each other. They didn't understand what Roddy was going to do. If he only taught combat skills now, wouldn't it be a complete "gun sharpening"?
But Roddy ignored those surprised eyes. After telling Dick to prepare some items, he pulled more than a dozen soldiers to the school ground to start this temporary training.
In Roddy's opinion, a group of humans who have not really fought face to face with orcs can't imagine how powerful those guys are. All he has to do is tell them the enemy's weaknesses.
Including the orc's combat style, combat skills, footstep rhythm and action habits, these are all experiences summarized by countless people on the battlefield with their lives. If you can remember three or four points, your chances of survival are often several times higher than those of the ignorant. Therefore, in Roddy's view, this kind of "temporary training" is completely necessary.
"The orcs are very powerful. Never think about blocking with weapons, or even holding a shield, because when you find that your arm is broken, there is no time to dodge any action."
"How to judge their attack? Stare at these guys' shoulders and immediately retreat if there is any shaking..."
"The orc's turn will be very slow. Don't try to face him alone. When three people besiege an orc at the same time, you must learn to fight around him!"
After a few simple points, Roddy even demonstrated how to fight against orcs himself - this sounds a bit fantasy and even ridiculous, but only a real technician will understand how important these things are... It is important to understand that Roddy's own research on orcs is enough to let him write a professional paper: the attack intervals, attack styles, weapon attack routes, footstep transfer habits of different orcs, even their language and writing, Roddy has done in-depth research.
It is precisely through these research that the technician Rodi has reached the forefront of PVP players in just a few years from a half-time life player.
The experience in his mind can allow a group of young people who only practice with wooden swords on the school ground to understand how to deal with seemingly powerful but extremely stupid green-skinned barbarians in a short period of time.
