Chapter 45 The name of the mercenary

As news of Sparta's victory in Megalis came, more details about the war were gradually revealed.

The battle situation was in a stalemate for a long time, and both sides of the war each other invested a large number of mercenaries in this war.

At the end of last month, the military ration reserves in Mogala City were burned down by anyone, and the treasure house used to pay remuneration for mercenaries was also looted.

Only a large number of guards were left at these two scenes. The Athenian mercenaries in charge of the investigation judged from the wounds on the bodies that they should have died of some kind of penetrating weapon.

Just as the Athenian side, who was guarding the city, was worried about military rations and funds, even greater bad news came.

The Athenian military leader stationed in the front line military camps planned to return to Megala City in person to ensure that the problem of logistics supply is resolved as soon as possible.

But when a small team of elite cavalry led by him passed by a small wood, a broken spear suddenly flew out of the bushes pierced the chest of the senior Athenian general.

The military leader died from a life-threatening death outside the battlefield, which greatly hit the morale of the Deluxe Alliance, and the situation on the battlefield showed a dramatic deviation.

According to the subsequent information disclosed by Sparta, this series of logistical strikes and beheading operations all came from the same mercenary - the "Falcon Trainer" Kassandra.

Every well-known mercenary has his own name. Because of Icarus who hovered over his head at any time, Cassandra was nicknamed "The Hawkman".

Previously, Cassandra only wandered in the remote island of Kefalonia, and no one cared about dragon-slaying skills.

Officially entering the core territory of Greece, Cassandra began to show her strong personal strength.

The name of "Falling Hawkman" also became famous in the mercenary world because of this war.

When Natiya heard the news, her face showed an expression of envy and expectation.

"The Hawk Trainer... I don't know when I will have my own title."

Xin Sheng chewed a bite of the fat venison and threw a sliced ​​tenderloin to Daedalus.

This time, Xin Sheng planned to fulfill his promise and cook barbecue for rhubarb with his own hands.

At this time, Dahuang was sitting next to the owner with her tongue sticking out her tongue, staring at the simple grill above the fire in anticipation, and tears of emotion dripping down the corners of her mouth.

The roasted deer chops were thrown in front of rhubarb. The dog, who had been unable to wait, didn't care about the scalding, immediately made a cheerful cry and began to bite the fragrant roasted pork ribs.

"Don't worry, as long as you complete the commission steadily, what should be come will come sooner or later."

"It's hard for others to replicate the experience of becoming famous in one battle. You'd better not learn from her."

Natiya is still young and occasionally asks inexperienced silly questions and makes some jokes.

But from Xin Sheng's perspective, this girl, who is only 14 and a half years old, is precocious than any peers he knows. This is caused by the living environment and historical background.

There is also a saying in modern times when Xin Sheng’s life is circulating - children of poor people are starting to be a family.

Natiya was not overwhelmed by Kassandra's experience of becoming famous in the battle, and she agreed with Xin Sheng's reminder.

"I know that with enough strength to achieve such a feat, I still need to put in more effort."

During the more than half month of living with Natiya in Kira Town, Xin Sheng confirmed her potential in combat.

It's not just about close combat. Xin Sheng can only ask Natiya for advice in this regard, and is not qualified to comment on her potential.

The potential here refers to Natiya's ability to learn all combat skills.

Xin Sheng was not so shameless that he asked a 14-year-old girl to teach him one-sidedly.

In exchange, he gave Natiya a lot of suggestions on his strength, archery.

Natiya's enlightenment teacher Kassandra is an all-round mercenary in all aspects. Whether it is close combat, assassination or long-range sniping, Kassandra has outstanding achievements.

Although the eagle trainer with Yishu's bloodline has extremely high talent in combat, she is not an omniscient and omnipotent god after all.

If a person has limited energy, comprehensive development means it is difficult to achieve specialization in a dedicated project.

At least Kassandra is not stronger in archery than Xin Sheng, who specializes in this.

Kassandra was still like this, let alone Natiya, who was taught by her.

Regarding future development, Xin Sheng gave Natiya some small suggestions.

"It's not impossible to go hand in hand like Cassandra, but I don't recommend you to use this bucket-type practice."

"Indeed, all-round development can reduce the possibility of exposing shortcomings during growth, but this will also slow down your progress in a certain specialization."

"I suggest you choose one of the directions as your main combat style and another specialization as your aid."

Natiya followed Xin Sheng's advice, but her choice surprised Xin Sheng a little.

However, considering her personality, it doesn't seem too strange.

Temporarily put aside his training in infiltration and assassination, Natiya focused her energy on close combat, using bows and arrows as a helper, and went further and further on the road of head-on confrontation.

In contrast, Xin Sheng still uses long-range combat as the main style.

Under Natiya's unreserved teaching, Xin Sheng learned from Leonidas's training method from the perspective of learning from his strengths and weaknesses.

Using his own combat characteristics as a reference, Xin Sheng gradually found a special melee style that suits him the most.

In Natiya's words, Xin Sheng's spiritual fighting style is like a poisonous snake.

He can use his keen observation to quickly understand the opponent's weaknesses, launch a rapid attack from the most difficult angle to defend, and pursue the enemy's weaknesses relentlessly.

Light and weird, this is Xin Sheng's summary of his own combat style.

He will try to avoid direct contact with the enemy's weapons, and a pair of flying short swords will always cut from a very strange angle.

After witnessing Xin Sheng's growth with his own eyes, Natiya admitted that if she had fought against Xin Sheng at the first meeting, she would probably have been hit by his strange two swords.

As Xin Sheng's melee skills gradually took shape, Natiya's bowing skills also improved rapidly under his careful guidance, and she could barely keep up with Xin Sheng's hunting rhythm in the wild.

...

While waiting for Cassandra to arrive at Fokis, Xin Sheng first got news about Elpino.

This guy hid on the front line of Megalis to sell materials to both sides at the same time, looking like he wished he could fight the war longer.

Elpino and the Order Church had long known that Spartan's "blood wolf" Nicolaos was Kassandra's father. He deliberately guided Cassandra, who was still unaware of it when he took over the mission, to embark on the road of father-killing.

After returning to the manor in Kira Town, Elpino began to frequently contact members of the Order God.

Strangely, when these members of the Divine Cult met Elpino, they were still wearing thick black robes and masks covering their identities on their faces, and they could not see their true colors.

Elpino thought he had done secretly enough, but he did not know that all his actions were under the surveillance of Daedalus.

"Does the smell of the sea..."

Through gestures and communication, Xin Sheng obtained important information from Daedalus.

One of the visitors had just left Elpino's manor and went to camp alone in a cave outside.

Natiya received an official commission from Fokis early this morning and rushed all the way to the coastline in the east of Kira Town to clear out small groups of robbers.

Daedalus had already investigated in advance, and there were only a dozen people in the target robber camp.

With Natiya's ability, there should be no problem solving them when they have mental calculations or unintentional circumstances.

"Dadalos, lead the way."

Xin Sheng quickly packed up his equipment and let the golden eagle standing on his left arm fly.

"Rhubarb, keep up! We have big prey."

"Wang!"
