Chapter 41

After systematic training exclusively by hunters, Xin Sheng's muscles were adjusted to the most suitable mode for sports combat.

His legs have extremely strong explosive power and excellent long-lasting athletic ability. The moment he started, Natiya could only feel a flash in front of her eyes, and she had the illusion of facing Kassandra.

Natiya, who was originally a little relaxed, immediately withdrew her contempt and held the sword and shield in her hand tightly to put on a defensive posture.

Xin Sheng knew his shortcomings and strengths, and he did not try to attack Natiya, who was already showing off.

When approaching Natiya, Xin Sheng's muscles in his legs exploded for the second time. While kicking hard on the ground, he changed the direction of force and moved to the right side of Natiya's body.

Natiya, who was concentrating on defense, reacted quickly. Her steps did not move, and she slightly rotated her body with her right leg as support, blocking the shield in front of her again before Xin Sheng launched the attack.

"bite!"

The thin hunting knife cannot cause any damage to the small round shield in Natiya's hand, and the iron sheet covering the surface of the wooden shield slides the hunting knife away.

Natiya's left hand holding the shield recoiled forcefully while being hit, bounced off Xin Sheng's attack, and the long sword in her right hand attacked in time, tangenting towards Xin Sheng's neck.

The strength of every archer will not be weak, otherwise the heavy bowstring will not be pulled open.

Xin Sheng, who can easily pull a 60-pound bow, is stronger than Natiya in absolute strength, but this does not mean that he can easily defeat the opponent's defense.

Hunting knife is a sharp weapon with insufficient impact.

Moreover, compared with the long sword and the battle knife, the blade face of the hunting knife is too small, and it is impossible to pose a threat to Natiya's shield.

On the contrary, Natiya's skillful recoil technique made Xin Sheng's right hand numb, and cooperated with the tacit right sword to attack, just right to seize the opportunity of Xin Sheng's body slightly leaning back towards his neck.

At the critical moment, Xin Sheng used his legs to exert force from Natiya's attack range again, but his leg muscles were under a lot of pressure, and he could already feel a little swelling and pain.

“It’s time to stop.”

Missed a single blow, Natiya did not continue to pursue and called out.

Xin Sheng was about to defend himself, but Natiya raised her hand to stop him.

"I know what you want to say. I hold the shield and I'm not very friendly to agile warriors like you who rely on a flexible and maneuverable blow to kill."

"That's it."

Natiya put down her shield, pulled out a small short sword from her waist, and put on a double-held weapon with both hands one by one and the other.

"Do you know your problem again."

After stomping his feet to relieve the soreness and swelling of the legs, Xin Sheng raised his energy this time.

He didn't want to be embarrassed in front of a girl who was under 15 years old.

However, the result of the second battle did not change any essentially.

Natiya, who threw away her shield, showed stronger aggression.

The short sword in the left hand takes into account both defense and auxiliary attack, and the combo of the two swords like flowing clouds and water beat Xin Sheng to the point where he couldn't find him.

"ha……"

After Natiya put her long sword on her neck, Xin Sheng raised her hands helplessly.

"Although I know that my melee shortcomings are serious, I didn't expect... to be so bad."

Natiya took back her weapon and pulled Xin Sheng, who was half kneeling on the ground.

"You have amazing athletic ability and good strength, but your skills are so lame, like a rookie who has never received combat training at all."

Xin Sheng smiled bitterly in his heart, "Bingo~ You guessed it right."

Natiya didn't know what the other party was thinking, so she continued to point out Xin Sheng's problem responsibly.

"Also, your weapon is not suitable for open close combat, and it's almost the same to assassinate the enemy."

"Even if you want to use a dagger, you must at least ensure that two hands are used together and can maintain the balance of offense and defense, and you will not be defeated by one blow."

"Um……"

Xin Sheng frowned at the hunting knife in his hand. In the battle with Natiya, he also realized the limitations of short weapons.

Not to mention facing shields, such a one-handed short-soldier cannot even complete the defense system, let alone counter-defense and attack.

"Natya, what about your suggestions?"

Although the other party is very young, it can be seen from the previous battle that her foundation is very solid and she is more than enough to guide a rookie like Xin Sheng.

Xin Sheng has always believed in the best. When he first entered the self-media industry, he also asked many things for seniors in the industry younger than him.

Since Natiya has proved her ability, Xin Sheng will not insist on admitting his mistakes for the sake of face.

Natiya thought about it before continuing: "Considering your fighting style, I suggest you choose two daggers or daggers."

"The long sword is a bit too heavy for you, and the dagger is a bit too thin. It is the most suitable to choose a short sword or a short sword."

The dagger in Natiya's hand is slightly longer than the dagger, but it is much shorter than the standard long sword.

Just as Natiya said, Xin Sheng’s choice of melee weapons cannot only consider lethality. Whether it will hinder his mobility is also one of the important considerations.

"Damn it..."

Taking the short sword from Natiya, Xin Sheng tried to wave it.

The weight is not too big and the feel is moderate, but Xin Sheng always feels that the short sword with both sides is a bit redundant.

Considering his own fighting style, Xin Sheng felt that he would basically not use the double-sided blade of the dagger.

"In this case, I recommend you to use a short knife."

Natiya has no sample of a short knife. She is skillful and uses her own weapon to cut a piece of wood from the trunk and simply cut it into the style of a short knife.

Compared with the long straight blade of the dagger, the short sword with a slightly curved blade has only one side of the blade, and the slightly curved structure is more suitable for chopping rather than stabbing.

Xin Sheng is not an assassin and will not consider too much the need for personal assassination.

The main purpose of his choice of melee weapons was to get rid of the enemy's struggle and return to the battle distance he was most familiar with as soon as possible.

Compared with the short sword with balanced offense and defense, the short sword with one-sided blade is stronger than the defense.

Xin Sheng hopes to achieve a round of attacks that disrupts the enemy's rhythm, force the opponent to turn attack into defense, and give him enough space to keep a distance.

After listening to Natiya's detailed explanation and analysis, Xin Sheng finally made up his mind.

“Just it.”

Natiya nodded: "Then let's go back to the city first and buy two short knives with blacksmiths."

"But before that..."

Natiya pointed to Xin Sheng's body and said speechlessly: "You need another set of armor."

"You wouldn't expect to fight people in this unprotected outfit, do you?"

“Uh~”

Xin Sheng's clothes were incompatible with the ancient Greek style of clothing.

The ancient Greeks of this era did not wear pants, and the lower class people, regardless of men or women, liked to wear short skirts that were conducive to movement, revealing their long legs and not wearing shoes.

The nobles and slave owners who had a higher status and did not need to do physical labor like to wear one-piece robes, and the hem of the robe was almost dragged to the ground.

Xin Sheng wore a modern T-shirt and casual trousers, and a pair of sneakers on his feet.

When he first arrived at the Odyssey world, Xin Sheng said that he was a traveler from afar. Natiya, who had insufficient knowledge, did not doubt it and thought that this was a common outfit in foreign countries.

Leaving the remote Kefalonia Island, Natiya and Kassandra both replaced the complete set of leather armor that had been stripped off from the robbers under the One-Eyed Man, but Xin Sheng still did not wear the armor.

It’s not that Xin Sheng thought he was so powerful that the enemy could not hurt him in close proximity, but because...
