The discordant interludes in the battle were quickly interrupted by new enemies emerging.
Before thinking clearly about the possible consequences, Martin had to focus on the difficulties at hand, otherwise these things would send him to the arms of the Lord to fully think about it.
Kraft's tactics are simple to say, but very difficult to execute.
The main difficulty in dealing with these things is that they are difficult to predict, and the more experienced people are, the more likely they are to be misled. They have to rely on reactions to dodge and counterattack accurately at the same time. Only a few people here can do that.
It was precisely because of this that he noticed the characteristics of Kraft's swordsmanship.
Different from some fancy moves that have gradually lost their practicality, they are just simple and straightforward movements. They are mostly seen in the hands of local upstarts who have been appointed for two generations or so and have no accumulation. Their popularity is higher than that of breastplates.
There is no fine design and skills, and it is more focused on ensuring the display of power. It is probably born out of some low-cost slashing weapons for novices. After being absorbed, some practical tips are added to facilitate the use of lighter but more flexible swords.
It worked hard and became a unique style.
Martin has met similar people. There are all sorts of strange differences according to the instructor's personal wild path, but the unified point is that he is brutal and straightforward, forcing the opponent to enter a fast and ruthless routine. Even if he has any skills, it is not easy to win such a battle.
play in.
This newly-minted honorary professor at Rivers University obviously has a swordsmanship background from this, and his overall style is very... "Chimera" - he could only think of this word to describe it.
On this basis, various elements with rich personal characteristics are stitched together, tending to a very dangerous-looking evasive action, precise and with margins, as if ready to guard against several possible attacks at any time.
His moves are more conservative than most veterans, but he also pays great attention to strength. I can't think of any need to create it. It's like a Chimera with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a snake's tail. It's an unrealistic stitch monster made up of conflicting things, and it has no reality.
Corresponding things fight.
But it's quite effective against these inhuman things.
They cooperated to control seven or eight bodies, and used the left-over weapons to pierce and fix them to the ground. The unknown thing that controlled the movement seemed to behave in a rigid manner, and as long as the limbs could still be used, it would continue to control the bodies more "frugally"
struggle.
This allowed Kraft to eliminate the worse conjecture, that is, there is a behind-the-scenes mastermind with advanced intelligence controlling it; or there is, but it cannot replace the thinking and troubleshooting.
The few ownerless weapons were used up, and the servants began to tear open the tent and pull out the skeleton to replace it. These wooden poles, which were to be driven into the soil and fixed, had a sharp end, almost like a short spear, which could be used in emergencies, but they were broken into pieces.
The cloth was thrown into the fire to fuel the fire.
After overturning half of the tent and using the supports, the field of vision was clear. There were more than a dozen relatively complete humanoid fungi on the ground. This strange strategy really effectively controlled their number. The pressure on the team gradually eased, and the numerical advantage was achieved.
The balance tilts towards the defender, which makes the progress of tactical coordination easier and more efficient.
The last intact host body fell to the ground under the siege of several people. Several wooden poles were inserted into the torso, turning it into a shooting range arrow stack.
They watched the woods anxiously and vigilantly until they were sure that no more beautiful figures were coming out. A knight in full armor knelt down in the dust, opened his helmet visor and gasped for air, and screamed, cursed or laughed out of his throat.
, some kind of extreme emotional catharsis that does not contain any meaning. Then this behavior spread in the camp, and they knelt and fell to the ground one after another, silent or making shapeless cries and laughter, mixed with terrible coughing and gasping, which was oilier than hell.
The pot is still boiling.
Martin didn't stop them, which was an understandable reaction considering he had just survived an unimaginable attack. Even if there might still be a threat, they needed timely and appropriate catharsis to ensure they didn't collapse on the spot.
In fact, he also wants to yell or smash something to release a feeling of gloom and depression that is stuck in the throat and makes people want to tear out the trachea and take out the heart and lungs to remove it, but that must be placed behind his responsibility as the leader of the team.
.
After making a rounds and carefully patching up wooden poles for the weakly fixed body, Martin came to Kraft, who was thinking, and coughed slightly to attract attention, "I thought about it carefully, and I don't actually need to worry too much."
"What?"
"As for what you mentioned just now, the corpses left behind." He glanced at the still struggling body with his sword in hand, and said with certainty, "There are a few scattered ones, I believe Westminster Castle can solve them on its own.
But only if they can escape from the locked door."
"Martin, do you know anything about coughing?" Kraft was noncommittal about his words and instead mentioned something irrelevant.
"certainly."
"No, you don't understand."
It's very confusing, and it's a speech that is quite consistent with the status of a professor. Those scholars in the university who are either bald or old say that it is this way of turning around a few times, which is called arousing thinking. Unexpectedly, Kraft has not been hanging around with them for long.
I also contracted this problem.
"So what's the coughing about?"
"Uh... my throat was itchy, and then I coughed." This question was quite concise, but there was no way to answer it. Martin habitually felt itchy on the top of his head, but he scratched his helmet with his hand, "Cough."
It’s just a cough.”
"Cough is a symptom." To make it easier to understand, Kraft changed the word, "or 'manifestation'. Something that shouldn't be in the respiratory tract appears in it, causing a cough. These factors are very important
It can be complicated, it can be an epidemic, sticky drip, food ingestion, intrathoracic sarcoma, or even acid reflux in the stomach. Some are very mild, some can be fatal, but they can all manifest as coughing."
"Do you understand it?"
"I think I understand." Martin vaguely realized that what Kraft was talking about was not irrelevant to the current situation.
After briefly thinking about organizing the language, Kraft continued, "Some doctors will prescribe you some syrup, hawthorn, mint, etc., which are good for the mouth and throat. The effect will be immediate after taking it, relieving cough and promoting fluid production. This only solves the problem of cough, and is effective for many causes.
It doesn’t make any sense, but it may cause the disease to develop unconsciously due to self-righteous masking of symptoms.”
"These bacteria-growing things are coughs. A symptom that is different from the normal and healthy world, and the symptoms never appear for no reason." His eyes reflected the bodies illuminated by the fire, and they looked like they were struggling after watching them for a long time.
For a silly comic effect, "All we do now is drink peppermint and hawthorn cough syrup. Control the fungus-hosted corpses and prepare to burn the village."
Martin looked towards the direction of the village, where he could only see a thread-like trail leading to the pagan church guarded by Jun Gu, "You mean we have to find the 'cause'?"
"If we want to deal with it thoroughly, we must know more. At least there must be more 'symptoms' that can help us deduce the pathology."
"What I am most worried about now is another thing. A pathogenic factor can manifest differently in different parts of the body." Kraft did not hide his concern at all. The conventional defense is doubtful about the effect of deep infection.
"I hope Westminster is the kind of organ that has higher resistance and is not seriously damaged. After all, it is the most important organ, and half of my students are still there."
