Vikings: Journey of the Juggernaut

Chapter 86 Overlapping fast and slow knives, everything can be cut
In early winter, the sun is as red as blood, like a hawthorn with great light.

During this period of time, for unknown reasons, the Mist Crows brought in many people from outside tribes, including the Yingshan people with gutter noses, the Firebirds with red feathers, and the Giant Werewolf with a huge direwolf...

The captains of the Mist Crow frequently came in and out of the leader's longhouse, including Bassomo, who was invited many times, but was rejected by this one.

It looks like the situation in the north is about to change!

Lei Li guessed this in his mind. In this month, he also celebrated his 16th birthday.

The birthday gift given by Itia was a piece of carefully sewn leather armor, which replaced his old armor that was full of scars and patches and was in tatters.

The birthday gift from my sister was a sincere fish baked by myself.

Very unpalatable!
When he saw his sister looking forward to "brother eating his own grilled fish", he happily divided the fish into three portions and put them on everyone's plates. Good things should be shared by everyone.

You can’t eat alone!
Of course, this is just a small gift from my sister. The big gift is the corpse wrapped in thorns.

What a big brother’s little cotton-padded jacket!

Of course, Rayleigh wouldn't want it. The narrow thin sword was more suitable for Mellie to use. Besides, this was also an adventure for his sister. Those who are destined to get the famous sword can get it.

After passing my 16th birthday, my body has also begun to enter a period of rapid growth. I can see with my inner eye that my combat power progress bar is moving forward steadily every day.In just the past month, he could clearly feel his growth in strength and other aspects.

During this period of time, their family of three, as well as Jekam and Kaison, trained more on the Blackwater River bank near the Blackfish Tribe and Hunting Mountain.Spyro and Bartholomew are also here. If you encounter problems, you can ask them for advice.

As for the extra meals during training, they were provided by Hauscati, the God of Mist Crow with a bulging pocket.

Rayleigh's main training is the quick and slow knife. In the battle of the reed field, he was blown up in a fighting state and used the quick and slow knife skillfully.In my usual state, I am not that proficient, and there is still a lot to learn.

Bassomo's overlapping quick and slow knives were a skill that made him very envious.

It is not easy to break through chain mail with a light weapon such as a long sword, not to mention chain armor.

Overlapping quick and slow knives are a powerful tool for breaking defenses.

Even a thin and narrow sword can still cut through armor by virtue of the principle of overlapping fast and slow knives.

"The heavy blades that overlap and then fall are the key to breaking through the armor's defense with light weapons. Watch out." Bassomo was demonstrating this unique skill to several young people at this time.

I saw the big sword in his hand slashing down at high speed, then pausing and slowing down, then slashing out at a faster speed, then pausing and slowing down, then accelerating and slashing out——

An afterimage was brought out. The afterimage overlapped with the falling blade and slashed towards a big stone. The big stone was split into two halves.

"Amazing."

The overlapping quick and slow knives were both elegant and powerful, filling the eyes of Rayleigh and others with enthusiasm.

The eagle's eyes glanced over, and the sister's pair of strange pupils were also shining.

Bassomo's voice came to his ears: "This is the double speed and slow knife. It is also slowed down twice and then accelerated. It will bring out an afterimage, which is enough to break the chain mail. Of course, in the hand It must be a sophisticated weapon, otherwise the weapon will break first."

"The triple quick and slow knife overlaps into two afterimages, which is enough to break through normal armor, such as the thickened armor worn by War Whale Headless. It probably requires a quadruple quick and slow knife, but he also wears a chain inside. Armor and soft armor.”

Bassomo then poured a basin of cold water on it, "You just need to understand these. The second level of quick and slow sword requires at least the physical fitness of a berserker. The third level of quick and slow sword requires at least the physical fitness of a war commander. Even the fourth level of quick and slow sword requires me to do it. Not even."

"..."

Everyone's fanatical eyes were extinguished, which meant that they were now desperate and could only practice the most basic quick and slow swords, and they might not even be able to learn it.According to what was said just now, the most basic quick and slow knives probably also require the physical fitness of a Raider warrior.

Slowing down a high-speed slash and then accelerating it again obviously requires extremely strong arm strength and control.

Look at Basomo's huge arm, which is far beyond that of a normal war commander. Even he can't use the four-layer quick and slow knife. It can be imagined that this is a skill that is highly matched in the same realm.In other words, only the strong ones in the Raider Warrior level can master the skills of fast and slow knives.

The Mistcrow tribe is famous for its combat skills. There are not many warriors who know this skill, let alone other tribes.

Most warriors in the north prefer to use easily broken defensive weapons such as axes.If you are a physically strong warrior, in order to better break through armor defenses, you will often choose direct weapons such as axes, heavy swords, and heavy hammers.

The one-handed sword is a weapon that can be used for show, with an extremely high upper limit, reaching the ceiling of combat power.

But it requires considerable skill. Most warriors can only perform at a very low limit and mediocre level with such a light bladed weapon, far less agile than an axe.

If in the hands of a master, the ever-changing sword attack methods, the quick and slow swords that can be used to break defenses, can even be combined with the scabbard for both offense and defense... giving opponents a headache when they see it.

"Can anyone use the four-layer quick and slow knife?" Rayleigh asked.

You can imagine how difficult it would be to complete the short distance from swinging the sword to cutting the opponent's body, four times of retracting the force, and four times of slowing down and then applying force again.

If it were a normal warrior, he would cut the distance to the end with one sword, and he would not be able to react and stop his strength before applying more force.

"Giant deer!" Bassomo spit out the name of the enemy.

Even though he was decapitated by his headless arm, Julu was still very powerful. His unique skills of four levels of fast and slow knives alone were enough to make him stand at the top of the warriors.

"Where's the five-layer quick and slow knife?" Jeckam asked. "Everything can be cut!" Bartholomew patted Jeckham on the shoulder, showing his white teeth, "Young man, this magical skill will depend on you to carry it forward and spread it throughout the ages."

"I'm afraid that's not possible, right?" Jackam's eyes widened.

"As long as you know."

"..."

"Where's my uncle?" Kaisen looked at the man carving wood.

"The speed knife in my hand is very average. It only reaches the second level. It has already reached its peak. My arms are not allowed to support more explosive power." The knife in Sparrow's hand scratched out residual images on the wood. "What I'm better at is the fast sword."

"Doesn't that mean it can't break through the enemy's armor?" Jackam asked in surprise.

Bassomo had said that the two-level quick and slow sword couldn't even cut Zha Jia.

"In battle, you don't need to slash at the opponent's armor. A gap is enough." Sparrow's words continued to come out, "Of course, I can't break the defense of an iron can like the headless Mamres. .”

"But the quick and slow knives on my feet are still so-so." Sparrow stood up.

"Is there a quick and slow knife under your feet?"

"Yes."

Sparrow responded, raised his right foot, and suddenly stepped down sideways. Two afterimages gathered under his feet, and his whole body moved two positions laterally.

"This is the first step."

Spyro raised his foot again, leaving an afterimage with his heel, and the figure moved backwards in an instant.

After showing these two stunts, he faced a bunch of dumbfounded eyes and explained: "The steps are also based on the principle of quick and slow knives. Stepping on the side can move sideways, stepping on the heel can move backward, and the toes can move forward."

"It's very complicated." Jecam felt that his mind couldn't hold these things.

"You are still young, learn slowly. Combat is a delicate job. The higher you go, the more refined it becomes, and the more you will feel your own insignificance and touch the limits of certain aspects." After Sparrow finished speaking, He took out the wood again and sat down.

"So, you have to make the most of your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. For example, like Jecam, stepping forward is not suitable for you at all, and there will be no achievements. That is a technique more suitable for Kaisen." Bartholomew guided.

"So what am I suitable for?" Jackham asked.

Bartholomew replied: "You are suitable for horizontal cutting with a fast and slow knife. Kaisen can learn to thrust with a fast and slow knife."

"The four basic movements of swordsmanship, the fast and slow swords are also subdivided into cutting, lifting, horizontal cutting and thrusting with the fast and slow swords."

Bassomo continued, "Among them, the fast and slow knife tricks are relatively difficult to master. They require stronger arm strength. Each person's energy is limited. Choose the one that suits you best and master it. After tens of millions of times, muscle memory will naturally form. These It all takes a lot of time.”

"It's so complicated, can anyone be omnipotent?" Jekham's head was a little dizzy when he heard it, and he felt that the battle was really an abyss like the sea.

"It's actually not complicated." Bartholomew shook his head, "You just learn how to cut quickly and slowly, and give up all other ideas. What do you think now?"

"That's really not complicated at all."

When there was only one quick and slow knife left to cut across, Jecam's mind suddenly became light.

The voice of the giant warrior continued to be heard in his ears: "It is not easy to be omnipotent, but there are indeed people who can do it."

"Who?" Everyone present raised their ears.

Sparrow stopped the wood in his hand and said: "Kurag, the leader of the war whales, in terms of swordsmanship in the world, no one can match the Rainbow Bridge in his hand."

In the past, when he was still a martial arts idiot in the eyes of everyone, it happened to be the era of Kurag's rise. He witnessed the emergence of that man, who was also the ultimate opponent in his heart.

"It seems like Kulag is really strong." Jecam said with emotion.

"If you dare to bear the name of the God of War, you will certainly not be a weakling." Basomo's mind flashed through the recent frequent visitors from the tribe. This winter may be the last peaceful day in the North.

He continued: "The principle of the quick and slow sword can also be used to issue it from the palm of the hand, which is the famous long-claw hand sword skill."

"Of course, you have to temper your palms many times until they are hard enough. The Longclaw tribe's method of tempering their palms is to cut hot sand with your hands, wait until the palms are reddened, and then put them into water to cool. This continues for several years. The best among them can …”

Bassomo paused slightly, "Be able to use your palms like blades and cut rocks like mud."

"Commander, can you do it?" Jackam asked curiously.

"I can't." Bartholomew shook his head.

Recalling that cold smile in his mind, what he was best at back then was the hand knife.
