The battle ring is the foundation of the knight's combat effectiveness and the foundation of all martial arts.
To communicate one's spirit requires a battle ring, to release one's fighting spirit requires a battle ring, to display one's martial arts requires a battle ring, and even riding a horse requires a battle ring.
If there is no battle ring, the rider and the war horse are just two separate individuals. They can only rely on their own strength to fight, and they cannot truly integrate the man and the horse.
However, knights with battle rings can inject fighting spirit into the body of the war horse, and through the circulation of fighting spirit, they merge into a whole.
This is not a simple cooperation, but a fusion from body to spirit.
The war horse is nourished by the knight's fighting spirit, becoming stronger, faster, and more durable. At the same time, the spiritual union of the two allows the war horse to respond quickly to the knight's thoughts. It is like a part of the knight's body.
From the time he was promoted to the first level of Dou Qi to now, Roy has had a battle ring for a long time. Even a few days ago, he had been promoted to a brave knight, possessing two battle rings and the ability to attack outside the body of the battle ring.
However, Roy knew very little about the techniques and rules for using battle rings.
He only knows that the way to use the battle ring for each combat skill is different. The low-level martial arts learned in the library have different ways to use the battle ring. The dwarf's thunder ax technique and the sword spirit's life-threatening sword technique are also different.
no the same.
It can be said that most of the differences in combat skills lie in the differences in combat rings.
The thunder ax technique is strong and fierce, and the use of the battle ring is straight and straight. The life-saving sword technique is fierce and dangerous, and the use of the battle ring is unpredictable and fast.
Roy practiced on weekdays, and once he had a whimsical idea of trying out the difference in battle rings.
In his opinion, since the difference in combat skills largely depends on the use of the combat ring, then by giving the same move a new way of operating the combat ring, can this move have other attributes and power?
Like a wind and thunder cannon.
If the battle ring is a water attribute fighting spirit, can it become a wind, thunder, water cannon, or a water mine earth cannon? If the battle ring is contained but not spit out. It is fast, slow, big, and small, can it be turned into a big cannon or a small cannon?
Slow gun?
When having sex, you have to pay attention to the rhythm changes, right?
However, the use of battle rings is so profound. It is not easy for a little country bumpkin who has never received formal training to change the way he uses battle rings. He only thinks about it in his mind, but has never put it into practice.
What Roy didn't expect was that the first lesson Kameni taught him alone was the use of battle rings.
The trademark confusion on his face disappeared, and the young man looked respectful and solemn.
There are very few books on battle ring skills in the library. For knights, these are experiences gained in life-and-death fights, which are earned with their lives. They can teach combat skills, but rarely use the battle ring.
Let me tell you the secret.
If a teacher is willing to teach you the skills of using battle rings, it means that he has unconditional trust in you. In the training camp, this is a fourth-year student and only the best who are qualified to enter the main camp can enjoy it.
treatment!
"The use of battle rings is unpredictable. Each martial art is different. However, there are similarities among them. These commonalities are the skills and rules for using battle rings. Through summary, I have summarized it into nine changes.
....."
Kameni explained to Roy seriously.
"First of all, it's the battle ring acceleration." He pointed to a training doll next to him and said to Roy, "You have four-star armed strength. Try attacking it with all your strength!"
"Yes." Roy walked to the doll, calmed down, and suddenly turned to look at Kameni, "Did you use all your strength?"
Kameni frowned and said strangely: "What, is there a problem?"
"It's not a big problem, Mr. Kameni," Roy scratched his head and said, "It's just a few days ago. I accidentally broke through again."
"Armed Five Stars?!"
Kameni's face froze. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He never expected that in just a few days, this kid would actually break through again! The strength of the five-star armed force meant that he was just a few steps away from the brave knight.
Only one step away!
Phew, soon, Kameni exhaled and calmed down.
Since I can accept the fact that this kid may have a seven-color talent, there is nothing surprising about such a speed of improvement.
Moreover, in order not to make this kid too proud, he said calmly, "Since you have been promoted to five stars, let's use five-star strength."
Looking at Kameni's expressionless face, Roy shrugged and resisted the urge to tell him that he had been promoted to a brave knight.
Mr. Kameny is good at everything, but he is too orthodox. If he says it now, firstly, he will be suspected of showing off. Secondly, he may not get praise but be scolded, saying that he has been promoted too quickly and has a weak foundation.
Taking a deep breath, he slowly raised his fighting spirit to the peak of the first level and the tenth level, and suppressed it below the second level. Roy exhaled loudly and punched the training doll fiercely.
This kind of doll used for strength training is specially made for the training camp. It is the strongest.
There is a slide rail engraved with ten-segment marks under the doll. There are several thick steel springs connecting the doll to the base behind it. In the extreme state, the doll can withstand more than 20,000 forces.
of blow.
In normal training, the first-year students would knock it back to the second square at most. But at this moment, Roy punched out and knocked the puppet back to the fifth square!
The doll's body and the spring behind it made an unpleasant sound during the violent blows! It seemed as if it was about to fall apart.
Roy retracted his fist proudly. The further the puppet retreated, the greater the power it needed. Retreating to the fifth square was equivalent to three times the power of a one-star armed knight. With this punch, whether it was strength or speed, he
All very satisfied.
However, the bubble that arose from this little pride was quickly and ruthlessly burst by Kameni.
"It's actually a waste for you to use your fighting spirit like this," Kameni brushed Roy away expressionlessly and stood in front of the puppet, "Watch."
Sixteen battle rings emerged from Kameni's body as his fighting spirit aroused.
Fifteen of them were dim, and only one battle ring that communicated the spirit lit up, traveling along his body and onto his arm.
Without shouting, exhaling, or gathering momentum, Kameni punched the training doll lightly.
Bang, there was a loud noise, and the puppet seemed to be hit head-on by a battering ram. It didn't stop until it retreated past the sixth square and approached the seventh square.
Roy's mouth opened wide and bulged.
"Do you see clearly?" Kameni asked with a smile.
Roy nodded blankly, then shook his head stupidly.
He could clearly see that Kameni's punch was the same as his just now, a simple straight punch. Moreover, they were both in the same battle ring, and they were also at the top of the first and ten levels.
of fighting spirit.
But he didn't understand why this light punch was so powerful!
As he spoke, he punched the puppet again with the same punch.
Roy stared closely at Kameni's fist, concentrating intently on it. He seemed to want to imprint every detail of the punch into his mind.
"How is it?" When the puppet flew back, Kameni retracted his fist and turned to ask.
Roy didn't speak. He was thinking.
In his mind, the punch process was replayed over and over again, until the words Kameni said when he asked him to hit the puppet suddenly flashed into his mind.
"The battle ring accelerates!" Roy suddenly realized and shouted. He found that the biggest difference between Kameni's punch and his own was that when the battle ring punched out, there was a sudden acceleration process in the forearm.
.
Among the several healing magics he learned from Austin's diary, there was a battle ring acceleration magic. It could help the knight's battle ring rotate faster, bringing greater synergy between heaven and earth.
The difference is that Kameni's battle ring does not increase the rotation speed, but the sliding speed. This is a very subtle change. If you don't look carefully at a close distance, it will be difficult for others to capture this detail.
"Not bad." Kameni nodded approvingly, "This is the first change in the use of the battle ring, the acceleration of the battle ring."
"Whether it is rotating or gliding, the faster the battle ring is, the stronger the release of fighting spirit will be. The greater the resonance of the weather and the earth will be. Therefore, by changing the instantaneous speed of the battle ring, the combat effectiveness can be improved."
"This technique is not mysterious. But it is difficult to master. There are three stages and nine stages. The further you go, the shorter the acceleration distance, the faster the speed, and the more difficult it is. When you practice it to the advanced level, the distance of one stage of acceleration is only one centimeter, and the distance of nine stages is
The acceleration is superimposed layer by layer, and the power is infinite."
With that said, Kameni mobilized the battle ring and demonstrated the acceleration process of the battle ring again.
The bright battle ring swam from the upper arm to the lower arm, and when the arm suddenly shot out, it was suddenly knocked forward.
"This is one step of acceleration." Kameni said, and punched again. This time, the movement of the battle ring on the forearm clearly showed two parts of acceleration. The running distance of each part was only one step.
Fifty percent.
Roy found that the sound of this punch was obviously much louder than the previous one.
"This is a two-stage form. Next, look at the three-stage form!"
Kameni said, and punched the training doll again. There was a loud bang, and the doll retreated to the eighth frame before stopping. If converted according to the standard, this is already more than 8,000 points.
Strength!
Roy was speechless.
An average knight at the five-star armed level can only exert the power of five or six thousand jins. This must be assisted by combat skills. Even the wind and thunder cannon he learned can only exert 7,000 jins with one punch.
But Kameni's simple straight punch has such great power. If combined with combat skills, how terrifying would it be?
And according to Kameni, there are also four-stage movements, five-stage postures, and all the way up to nine-stage postures. After practicing to that level, how powerful should a punch be?
Roy was so excited that his ears turned red.
"Mr. Kameni," he asked respectfully, "I heard from you that there are nine changes in the battle ring. In addition to the acceleration of the battle ring, what are the other eight changes?"
"The other eight types are deceleration, oblique cut, spin, lasing, rebound, superposition and clone."
As Kameni said, he took out a sheepskin notebook that was already looking a bit old and handed it to Roy: "This is what I have learned over the years. However, you can't bite off more than you can chew. Your task now is to meet the challenge before
, first master the battle ring acceleration."
Just as he was talking, there was already a burst of footsteps and voices of students in the corridor outside.
Kameni turned his head and looked at the wall clock on the wall. It was almost noon. He frowned and said, "I have another class in the afternoon, so I won't say more. Let's start now. To master the battle ring acceleration, you must first
Master the instantaneous expansion and contraction of fighting spirit..."
The bright sunshine outside the window shines on the bright floor.
In the quiet training room, a tall middle-aged knight explained to the young man in a low voice. The young man listened seriously and nodded from time to time.
"...remember the key points?" Kameni told Roy the key to accelerating the battle ring. "Come and try it."
"Yes." Roy agreed, excitedly inspiring his fighting spirit.
Recalling the key points of Kameni's explanation, Roy first let the battle ring move back and forth on his arm several times, then concentrated and calmed down, and then punched out suddenly.
"Poof", the fist broke through the air, making a muffled sound. From the shoulder to the fist's battle ring, there was a sudden tremor, and then like a broken jade bracelet, it turned into countless fragments and dissipated in the bright sunshine.
failed.
Roy was a little frustrated.
He found that in the punch just now, when his fighting spirit was trying to accelerate the battle ring, there was a trace of stagnation. It was this almost imperceptible trace of stagnation that caused the battle ring to be unable to keep up with the punch, and thus collapsed.
Kameni on the side looked at Roy's frustrated face, as if he had expected such a result, and a smile appeared on his face.
The technique of using the battle ring is not so easy to master. If it is a mature martial art, then when the battle ring is fast and when it is slow, it is all controlled by the technique. The fighter does not need to think about it at all, and it can be completed naturally.
However, there is no technique to follow to actively accelerate the battle ring. It completely relies on Roy's control of his fighting spirit and battle ring.
Human arms are not long, and the time from when the punch is punched to when it hits is too short to even blink.
But in such a short period of time, the battle ring is required to accelerate midway under conscious control. It is easy to say but extremely difficult to do.
It took Kameni himself a whole week to master it.
This is still one stage of acceleration. The difficulty of the next two stages of acceleration, and the third stage of acceleration will increase geometrically. Until now, he has only mastered four stages of acceleration.
This is already his limit. In his opinion, the top nine-stage acceleration already belongs to the realm of gods.
"Roy, when you punch, you can't always think about controlling the fighting ring. You must let your control of the fighting ring be somewhere between conscious and unconscious..."
Kameni explained, "...if you have been unable to let go of your conscious control, then you will find many problems. Either the fighting spirit conversion speed is not fast enough, or the battle ring is activated too far, or
The frustration lasted too long..."
After explaining in detail, he saw Roy frowning attentively and thinking hard, and comforted him: "It's okay, I know these are difficult to understand, but you can practice for a few more days..."
However, before Kameni finished speaking, Roy's eyes suddenly lit up while he was deep in thought.
"I understand!" Roy shouted. He inspired his fighting spirit, mobilized his battle ring, and punched out without thinking!
"Bang", the sound that broke through the air this time was much louder than the first time.
As the fist was struck, the bright battle ring turned into a stream of light and quickly swam towards the top of the fist. When it passed the elbow joint, the light trembled slightly, and then rushed forward, reaching the peak of the fist.
In an instant, it appeared in the phalanges.
The whole process is smooth and graceful, and the fighting ring and boxing posture are perfectly coordinated.
A perfect battle ring acceleration!
Kameni was completely stunned. He had always been a serious man, but at this moment his mouth was open enough to fit an egg.
One punch! Roy only failed one punch and mastered a period of acceleration?
Damn it, how did this kid do it? This is too shocking. How long has it been since I taught him the trick? Five minutes, ten minutes? I was still saying just now, let him do more
How many days have you been practicing?
Just when Kameni was looking at Roy stupidly, he suddenly discovered that Roy didn't stop after successfully punching him. The black-haired boy's eyes flashed with excitement, and he kicked his feet and his body came out of the air.
.Punch!
Bang! The battle ring flashed twice amidst the explosion in the air and appeared on the fist.
Second stage acceleration!
Kameni felt like his jaw was about to dislocate.
Roy landed, staggered naturally, turned around, faced the training doll close at hand, and punched him again!
One pass, one pass!
The battle ring passed by, a flash, a pause, a flash, a pause. Another flash, and it reached the top of the fist.
Three stages of acceleration!
"boom!"
.............................
.............................
On the training ground, nine students, including Giles and Griffin, stood pitifully in line under the sun.
The young people didn't know what bad luck they were in. Not long after they had finished their morning training, the sweat on their linen vests hadn't even dried yet when they were called back again by the instructors.
Is it because of the revenge caused by the dirty trick just now?
This is too stingy. The butts of people like me were kicked and swollen by them. Didn't you say anything? Besides, at least half of the people here were outside watching at that time, and the few who really did the dirty tricks were not here.
The most frightening thing for everyone is that they don’t know what happened to Roy when they called him alone. He has not seen anyone until now. He must have been repaired badly. Maybe he is being hung in a room in the main building and being whipped.
Woolen cloth.
The students were thinking wildly, while a few unscrupulous instructors hid under the shade of the trees and chatted.
"When I saw Farley's face this morning, I really wanted to punch him in the face and beat him all over!" Haison stuffed the last piece of bread into his mouth. He was big and had a big appetite, and he had been struggling all morning.
Very hungry.
"It's not like you don't know what kind of virtues that guy has," one of the instructors said scornfully, "He's really eager for you to beat him up. In this way, you can be kicked out of the academy justifiably."
"I bet that's what he thinks." Haisen swallowed the food and his voice immediately became louder, "I'm not stupid enough to give him this opportunity. The situation is so chaotic right now, and we might be going to the battlefield soon.
If I’m going to be deceived by him, what will happen to these children?”
"As long as you understand," Wu Ming nodded, "We can tolerate it now. After all, the big enemy is still the Feili people. We really want to recruit the academy to go to the battlefield. Without our leadership, we don't know how many people these guys will die. Could it be?
Leave them to someone like Farley?"
As he said that, he sneered: "When the fight breaks out, everyone will have to rely on their abilities. It's okay for Farley to brag and flatter, but his skills will not work on the battlefield. We'll see when the time comes!"
"These bastards know how to stir up trouble after Diarra," Hessen scolded. "They almost succeeded this time. If it weren't for Roy, our team would have done the same as before and would have made everything."
Not available."
"Speaking of Roy," one instructor looked worried, "I heard that the challenger coming this time is very powerful."
"He is a just knight," another taught. "He is only eighteen years old. Why are all the people trained by the Holy Martial Hall such monsters?"
"The betting market outside has been opened to 1 to 4." The previous person taught, "Although Roy's magic is good, he will suffer too much in such a head-on challenge. Moreover, it is said that Kevin specializes in restraining magicians.
Several mages have already fallen into his hands."
As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked around at his colleagues, worried: "Is it too late for Roy to learn combat ring skills?"
"How long does it take for Roy to learn the battle ring acceleration?" Wald asked, holding a grass root in his mouth and leaning against a tree trunk.
"Three days!" Haisen said in a loud voice. He then added, "The two-stage method should be fine."
"So fast?" Wald was a little doubtful.
"It took him three days to learn the two-stage form?" Wu Ming sneered, "If you ask me, this kid can learn the two-stage form in less than two days! Moreover, even the three-stage form won't be a problem for him.
.A month at most!”
Several teachers nearby looked at each other and shook their heads, feeling that Wu Ming was too confident in Roy.
"Roy's talent is pretty good," one coach said, "but it's too much to say that he can learn two steps in two days."
"Yes," another taught, "the fastest record in our academy also took three days to master the one-stage form. The fastest record for the two-stage form was seventeen days! The fastest record for the three-stage form was four months.
This record has not been broken till now!”
"Don't compare those with Roy," Wu Ming said calmly, "That kid is just a monster."
He looked around at everyone, "During this period, we have been training with him every day, can't we still see his potential?"
The teachers were speechless for a while.
Now that I think about it carefully, the people trained by the Holy Martial Arts Hall are certainly monsters, but Roy is not a monster either.
Within one month of enrolling, he was promoted from one-star to four-star armed force. It took others a month to complete the training program, but he didn't feel it took much effort even wearing a special training uniform.
Even though on the surface, there was a huge gap in strength between him and Kevin, not many people were optimistic about him. But how many people really thought he could win the battle at Grand Duke Adolf's house?
What was the result?
Klaus Siwok, Ning Maoer, Xia Li and Scarlett were all beaten to death by him alone and rolled all over the floor!
Not just anyone can restrain this kid from being aggressive.
"Why did this little bastard end up in our E-Brigade by accident?" The instructors were happy every time they thought about this.
"Anyway, I have confidence in this kid," Wu Ming looked at the window of the training room in the main building with a smile. He bared his teeth, "Just wait and see, I'm looking forward to seeing this kid get angry when he is provoked.
I really haven’t seen enough at the Grand Duke’s Mansion.”
At this moment, there was a loud bang and a cheer from Kameni from the other side of the training room.
"good!"
The teachers cheered and stood up.
This is?
.....................
.....................
The summer of the 320th year of the Redemption Calendar was particularly difficult.
It has not rained in Munich for a long time. Under the scorching sun, everything was dry and shining, giving off an irritating smell.
The leaves were drooping, dejected in the windless sun. The road was hardened by the sun, and the wheels would bounce up when they ran over the potholes. Whether they were people or horses, they would be lifted up as soon as they passed by.
A lot of dust kicked up.
With the bad news coming from the front line, the Munich City Guard stationed there has put Munich and several surrounding acropolis under martial law. A large number of soldiers enter and leave the military camp every day, and hundreds of knights gallop back and forth. There are also fully loaded
Carriages carrying grain and wounded soldiers creaked through the streets paved with bluestones in the middle of the night, disappearing without a trace.
After the news passed, there was no more news.
No one knew what was going on at the front line, and no one knew where these soldiers and carriages came from or where they were going. Anyone who inquired about this was arrested by the guards during patrols. Several spies were screened out and all were hanged.
Under a banyan tree outside the city.
Ignorance Hall kept cautious silence on its announcements, and only occasionally released some news that was not too important or did not need to be kept secret. The trainees from the three major training camps had changed their uniforms to reserve forces and started pre-war training, which was one of them.
This news somewhat reassured the worried people.
They are all supporters of the three major training camps. Many of them have been supporting their favorite camp for decades since their fathers and grandfathers. On weekdays, they don’t know how many times they have argued with each other’s fans and how much they have done.
shelf.
In their minds, these young people who can be selected into the training camp are the best knight seeds. In the past, just watching the inter-hospital challenge competition always made everyone excited. But this time, it is not a competition, but a real competition.
war!
In the days to come, what these young people will defend will no longer be just the glory of the training camp, but Lulian, the city of Munich, the land that gave birth to them and these people who support them and firmly believe in them.
fans!
There are a total of more than 7,000 people in the three training camps. At least three to four thousand can be put into the battlefield. Although most of them only have low-level weapons and brave knights, for the current city of Munich, it is more or less
A fairly powerful force.
Even if you can't deal with the Knights, if you're facing an ordinary Fei Lie army, isn't it just a matter of chopping up melons and slicing vegetables?
In addition to the three major training camps, General Fano also began to recruit more ragtag troops. A large number of local mercenaries and young men were recruited into the army. On the streets, groups of recruits wearing new uniforms passed by in an endless stream every day. A faction
lively.
From this point of view, although we don’t know what the battle situation is like on the front line, it may not be that easy for the Phillies to take over Munich, right?
Of course, this is just everyone's comfort to themselves. No one dares to guarantee the outcome of this battle. The city is in chaos. The North Gate is always crowded with people going north. The coachman is scolding,
The mercenaries were fighting, the mules and horses were braying, and the children were crying. Standing at the gate of the city, you could see a scene of doomsday.
However, after all, there are only a few people who have the money to start a new life in the north or have relatives to seek refuge with. Most Munich people can only live their lives in prayer and resign themselves to their fate.
The war situation is already disturbing enough, but what is even more disturbing is the deteriorating public security and rumors in Munich.
Although the number of soldiers patrolling the Munich City Guard has increased several times compared to the past, there are still many people who take risks. Among these people are robbers, mercenaries who have lost all their money, liars and thieves, and refugees from the south.
.
The chaotic atmosphere seems to have swept the entire city of Munich with the news that Archduke Adolf's life and death were uncertain. The number of people hanging on the gallows or being handcuffed to wooden shackles and being stoned increased rapidly. Guards and policemen arrested and arrested
Being soft-hearted, the judge put a white handkerchief on the wig again and again, but he could not stop people from taking risks for survival in panic and chaos.
Everyone even heard that someone even robbed the convoy of the Fifth Army. The Fifth Army, which had already left, sent a whole brigade of knights back to Munich to inquire about the whereabouts of the bandits.
The people in Munich don't have a good attitude towards them.
General Fano, for this reason, even sternly rebuked a guy named Snarly and told them to get out of Munich. At this time, Munich was causing a lot of chaos. Wouldn't it add chaos to the already anxious General Fano?
?
Of course, it's not just the Fifth Legion that's causing trouble, but also the Lanlithians.
The day after the Sky Magic Ship arrived in Munich, Kevin, wearing a white armor, stood in front of the gate of the Munich branch of the First Training Camp, escorted by several knights.
In front of hundreds of onlookers, supporters and students of the First Training Camp, he smiled and explained his purpose with a sword stuck on the ground.
