"No matter what weapon you use or who you face, it is very important to be able to clearly grasp the range of strikes between both sides. This sense of distance determines your room for dodging and attacking."

...

The sons of the soldiers from Shitang Town were actually not specially rescued. They were originally planning to go to King's Landing, but as soon as they set off, they met the helper sent by the team, so they rushed over.

It was just because they had a bad path with Renli and the others that these people ran to the village behind, and finally rushed to catch up with them.

Since they joined the team, Renli has never seen the riders hanging behind him again, and it seems that the crisis has been lifted.

Lan Li was not sure who sent the riders, but the soldiers' sons claimed that someone would investigate this, and they also took over the two prisoners.

So Renli stopped asking more questions.

Junlin is still a long way away, so they naturally cannot keep rushing through this journey. So whenever they rest, the knight named Murray Grell would call Renli to teach him various fighting skills or let his servants practice with him. This is obviously what he said.

"Swordsmanship does not rely on your instinct to chop, dodge, and block, but on your mind. Understand the enemy's behavioral habits, test whether his personality is cautious or radical, and set up tactics and then execute them. This is the first thing you should consider."

The sound of the wooden swords colliding accompanied by the harsh teachings of the middle-aged knights, kept ringing beside the river bank. Some soldiers were watching around, but more were in camps not far away to make fires and make meals. The surging heads looked very lively.

With the joining of the Knights, the team began to absorb some travelers on the road again, and seemed to have no concerns about whether they would be attacked. Lan Li guessed that there might be something to rely on, but he did not have any extra thoughts on this matter at this moment, but instead devoted himself to training.

Western swordsmanship seems to have no tricks, but in fact there are still many fixed movements, attack, blocking, and starting styles... Lance has been learning these recently.

After learning all the basic knowledge, you must start repeating and turning the knowledge into practical practice.

Lan Li is quite unfamiliar with this. Although he has rich "practical experience", it is only for bows and daggers. Even if he has practiced spears, using this long sword held in both hands to block the attack is still full of strangeness to him. At the same time, the full-body armor he wore also makes him look clumsy.

Master the size of the sword, attack range, strength and weakness of the sword body, and the so-called tactics...

The one who practiced with him was Knight Murray's servant, a small brown-haired man with a tender face, and looked very thin after wearing armor, looking much smaller than Renly.

However, during the fight between the two, the big man was defeated by the small man. The two wooden swords collided, and Lan Li's defense occupied most of the situation, making him look busy, and the iron armor on his body was beaten to a thump.

The group of knights watching the fun often commented on this, but they didn't laugh at it. Although the knight Renli was a good person, the military achievements he had made before were enough to make the people around him have a certain degree of recognition.

The words of Knight Murray who was in charge of teaching were not polite, and he would take out any mistakes and scold him.

Renli is happy to accept this.

In addition to using the long sword, he also receives training every day to master the shield. Compared to using the sword, he can also get back and forth, and the practice of the shield is completely passively beaten.

In addition, after his riding skills were tested, Knight Murray believed that he did not need to practice anything more.

"Just on riding alone, you are more qualified than most knights, which is rare among your age." The knight commented.

Lan Li just smiled at this.

After practicing in heavy armor for days, he practiced sweating profusely every day, his body was full of fatigue, but his spirit became more and more abundant, and he was less troubled by the leadership team. He devoted himself to this physical and mental labor, which made him feel relaxed.

When they watched them for a long time, they were surprised to find that this big man who had no power to fight back under the attack of the young servant at the beginning became stronger and stronger as he went, and finally he could even fight back and forth with the servant.

This progress is becoming more and more obvious every day, which makes them sigh that the talent of this grassroots knight is really amazing.

The discussion reached its peak during a trial. Lan Li, who was constantly defending, suddenly explored the sword and separated the enemy's long sword after an attack from his opponent. He followed the opportunity to knock the wooden sword used for practice on the opponent's forehead wearing a helmet. Then he took advantage of the opportunity to fall down and knocked the sword across his neck with a light hole in his neck, making a muffled sound of mail collision.

This means he has won!

The quick movements caused a lot of praise, and someone even stepped forward and patted his shoulder happily to show encouragement. Even the little man who was practicing with him was sincerely happy for him and went forward to hug him.

Although he was so tired that he was breathless and his body was full of fatigue, Lan Li himself was also happy because at the moment of his victory, the ability to master the sword had reached Lv4.

Another skill shield block learned on the road is in the Lv3 level.

After just laughing for a while, he calmed down and was no longer proud. One victory did not mean everything. Every battle was a new beginning. Even the senior Knights could not guarantee victory in every competition.

Moreover, although these abilities have improved rapidly, the more they are, the more difficult it is to upgrade. According to Lan Li’s previous experience, the level 1-3 is the easiest to be promoted, and it will be very difficult after the fourth level. The process of 6-7 requires day after day of water grinding to learn.

However, he is not qualified to participate in the trial of the Seven Sons with his current ability level. At the same time, even if he passes, these are secondary.

Because the most important ability of the Seven Sons to judge is not a long sword, but a spear charge.

In the history of the Targaryen dynasty, only two trials of the Seven Sons occurred, one was the one shortly after, and the other was more than a hundred years later. Lan Li didn't know much about the current trial of the Seven Sons, because the books have few records of this and most of them are chaotic and conflicting with each other.

But he read through the subsequent trial.

The first thing that started with the Qizi Judgment was the face-to-face charge, and if this step was performed well, you could basically decide the winner in one round.

Unfortunately, although he was able to train for long swords and shields on the road, he could not have the opportunity to practice with a gun. Although the knights say that the most important thing in charging with a gun is riding rather than a gun, the most important thing does not mean the only one. Mastering and familiarizing with a gun is also a problem that must be faced.

However, Lan Li has already made some sense of this, or he has discovered a point that can be used.

The armor of the current era seems to be significantly different from later generations. This difference is not reflected in the defense ability, but in some kind of auxiliary ability...

Lan Li thought about this, so on the way to rest after a practice, he asked about the young attendant who was practicing with him.

"After joining the Son of the Warrior, should I tailor my armor also be tailored?"

"Of course, the armor you are wearing now does not fit, and it is not conducive to performance in real battles, and the armor of the Son of the Warrior is standard." The other party replied.

Lan Li then let go and then devoted herself to training.

Although Knight Murray initially claimed that he could not accept Renli, the voice of the man unknowingly loosened a lot during the days of rushing. Renli was able to confirm that he would not have unexpectedly joined the Son of the Warrior.

This may be the legacy of the old knight, or his own credit and talent, and of course it may be a combination of the two.

So for him, all he needs to do is to ensure that he can join the future trial of the Seven Sons.

He has no idea about this yet, so he can only take one step at a time. With the constant journey and training, time passes quickly.

Until one gloomy morning, the shadow of King's Landing was faintly visible.

Just after getting closer, Renli discovered that the city seemed to be in chaos at this moment, and even war was breaking out.
