Chapter 18 Fighting Skills or Magic
One of the three wild boars that invaded the camp was killed cleanly by McKen. The remaining two saw that the situation was not good and turned around and fled into the forest, making it difficult to pursue them.
Such a clean and neat battle drew loud cheers from the surrounding guards.
Roning looked at the giant creature, which was nearly 1.5 meters long and weighed hundreds of kilograms. He was amazed but not stingy. Starting tomorrow, he promised to add a piece of meat and a bowl of broth to every meal for the guards.
This will not only strengthen the guards' physical fitness and make them train more vigorously but also motivate them again.
After handing the wild boar's body to the guards, McKen came to Roning.
"Sir, after my breakthrough, I remembered some things." He said respectfully.
Luo Ning was stunned. "Oh? Tell me, what are these things?"
"It's a few fighting skills."
While McKen was explaining, he squatted down and punched the ground. Roning felt a force spreading on the ground.
"puff!"
I saw a sharp spear made of mud piercing out from the ground at a very fast speed on the land in front of me.
Luo Ning was sure that such earth spears posed a great threat to ordinary people. If they did not dodge in time, they would definitely be pierced by them.
"Is this a fighting skill?"
Luo Ning was a little puzzled: "Isn't this earth magic?"
"magic?"
Mikan shook his head. "I'm sorry, sir. I don't know much about magic. But I just used the earth-attributed fighting skill, the Cone-piercing Earth Spear."
At this point, he showed a look of regret, "It is said that later on, a Cone-piercing Earth Spear Fighting Skill can turn a large area of ground into a forest of spears. Unfortunately, I don't have enough fighting spirit now, so I can only send out one earth spear."
Luo Ning nodded slowly, "So fighting skills can be performed like this."
He thought that knights used fighting skills by slashing with swords or emitting light waves, but he didn't expect that it could also cause changes in the external environment.
Now, it seems that the fighting spirit and magic in this world are not quite what he imagined.
"It seems that as your strength increases, some of your memories are awakened."
This is a bit like unlocking specific skills when upgrading certain card characters in the game, such as "How many fighting skills can you use now?"
"In addition to this, I can also use the defensive 'Earth Wall' fighting technique."
Mikan explained: "It can raise a wall of earth in front of us to block attacks such as arrows."
No wonder it is said that a knight's strength will be greatly improved after reaching the intermediate level. Now, it seems to be true.
The two fighting skills that McKen mastered, one for attack and one for defense, are both quite effective.
"I don't have any other earth-attributed fighting skills right now. I'll find two for you when I have the chance."
Roning encouraged McKen and then went into the tent.
After this incident, he began to think about fighting skills and magic.
He has the dual attributes of wind and fire, while the Wushan family has the fire attribute. When he leaves, he should ask Lulans or Wiggins for two fighting skills.
"And magic, where can I get a magic book to learn it?"
Magicians are rare, and even in the Marquis family, there are not many magicians loyal to them. At least Ronin's predecessor had never come into contact with them.
"I wonder if the family has magic books on wind and fire attributes."
He still has to go back to Wushanbao, but there is no rush for this matter. He will consider it after he breaks through to the intermediate level. Now, he should go to Shanlin Town to see the situation first.
Moreover, the reward for the seventh day in the seven-day login is a light magician. Through him, Ronin should be able to learn some information about magic.
As for fighting skills, the first recharge gift is a knight with fire attributes, and you can learn from him when the time comes.
No words were spoken that night.
Starting from the second day, the guards' enthusiasm for training skyrocketed.
Firstly, Ronin provided them with sufficient food. In addition to ordinary bread, each meal also included a piece of meat and a bowl of soup, which gave them strength for training.
Secondly, and most importantly, with Roning's deliberate efforts, everyone believed that these exercises would increase the possibility of awakening the fighting spirit seeds, and the guards under the age of eighteen trained particularly seriously.
Of course, being serious is one thing, but people always feel tired and want to lie down sometimes.
Therefore, Luo Ning arranged a series of punishment measures such as push-ups, squat jumps, etc., and anyone who dared to be lazy would be punished.
As for Roning himself, he was neither standing at attention nor practising steps. Instead, he was practising swordsmanship. At the same time, he would spar with McKen when he had time.
Even though he was abused most of the time, his fighting skills were improving rapidly.
Two more days passed like this, and Roning's team advanced, practised, and rested at the same time.
Boring but very rewarding.
At least after these three days of training, the guards had understood the instructions;
By punishing the entire row for every mistake made by one person, they have developed a little collective consciousness.
I believe that with more training, the effect will be even better.
As for Roning himself, perhaps he is really a genius in swordsmanship. Now, he can last more than a dozen rounds against McKen (of course, when the opponent controls his strength).
In addition, Luo Ning also received rewards for the fifth and sixth days of logging in for seven days.
The reward for the fifth day is a magic weapon called "Liuyan Sword". In addition to the high strength and sharpness of the sword, it is also engraved with magic patterns.
It is reported that when this sword is activated by the wind and fire attribute fighting spirit, it can produce a scorching hot stream of flames with great power.
It's a pity that Roning's strength is limited now. He can neither use this ability nor the weight of the sword, which allows him to swing it continuously, so he can only temporarily put the Liuyan Sword into the space ring.
The reward for the sixth day is a Warcraft Contract Scroll. It is said that as long as the Warcraft does not resist, the scroll can be used to establish a master-servant contract, so that even the most ferocious Warcraft can be used by you.
This is a very precious item, and it is probably hard to buy outside. However, Roning cannot use it for the time being, so he can only put it in the space ring.
"In a few hours, you will be able to claim your seventh-day reward."
Roning was somewhat looking forward to the emergence of a light magician among his subordinates.
Magicians are rare, and those with light attributes are even rarer.
It is said that in other principalities, magicians with light attributes saved many disaster victims and nobles with magic and even established the Church of Light. I don't know whether it is true or not.
"Unfortunately, after receiving this reward, the seven-day login period is over."
This also means that Roning can only get another loyal subordinate through the first recharge gift. If he wants to expand the team, he can only recruit and train in the real world.
If Roning wants to improve his title and realize greater ambitions, it is far from enough to rely solely on the three extraordinary people brought by the golden finger.
Thinking of this, Roning placed his hopes on the young guards in the team. He had seen their progress during the training over the past few days.
"McKen, let's find a suitable place to set up camp up front."
"Yes, sir!"
McCann rode his horse to the front of the team, observing the situation on both sides of the road as he moved forward.
There are only two conditions for a place to rest at night: either the terrain is relatively open or it is close to a water source. If there is a supply of water in the car, one of them will suffice.
However, McCann observed this section of the road, and it didn't seem to be a suitable location.
As the convoy moved forward, he suddenly pulled the reins and signalled the guards behind to stop the carriage.
"What's wrong, Captain McCann?" The guard behind was a little confused.
"There seems to be a sound of fighting ahead." McKen listened carefully, then turned his horse around and went back.
"Don't move for now. I will report to the Baron."
