Black-haired Knight King of Chaldea

Chapter 88 Vol.21 Shield Basics
"Ask me, what do you think of the shield?"

In the private room, Leonidas crossed his chest with his arms, looked at Mash with an excited expression in front of him, and repeated her meaning with a little confusion.

"Yes! If it is the king of Sparta who is famous all over the world, it must be there, right? What do you think about the shield?"

After all, Sparta's gun shield is too famous.

Matthew actually didn't have any special feelings for Sparta until he became a subservient, until he got a shield as a weapon.

In fact, shields are very troublesome things.Because, it is not a weapon in the [direct sense].

For example, if I give you a sword, everyone knows that it is wielding the hilt.

Those who know swordsmanship and those who do not know swordsmanship can kill people with a sword.

But shields are different.

This was originally used for defense, and Mash now has no other armament and can only wield a shield...

However, there is no information available for reference.Seeing the arrival of Leonidas, Matthew was actually very happy.

King Leonidas rubbed his head with his big hands through his helmet, looking like he didn't know what to say.

The crimson cloak flames burned behind him with his movements. After a while, he realized that using his brain was not his area of ​​expertise, and no matter how he organized the language, he said quite boldly:
"Listen, Matthew. There is only one secret of shields."

"Mmmm! I'm listening!"

Matthew's eyes lit up, thinking in his heart, it's really the right time to visit Leonidas' personal room today.

"That is, take your shield and stand opposite your enemy."

Leonidas said something confusing.

No, it should be said that it is because it is too easy for people to understand the meaning, so I feel that there is no deep meaning in these words, is there some kind of symbolism used?
Matthew was also stunned, and asked with a subtle expression:

"Just...is that so?"

"Yes. Just that."

Leonidas nodded, a bold smile under his helmet.

"Are you looking forward to what I can tell you at length?"

"..."

Matthew didn't say anything, but it was exactly what he expected.I thought that Leonidas would introduce himself to various techniques and the like.

"Because, that's how shields are used. Spartans, not supermen. They're not monsters. Let's fly away, we can't do it. So for us, doing what we can do is the best way to do it. Basic things are enough."

"Base?"

"Yes. It's not about flying to the sky, or calling for the wind and rain. The secret of the shield is as simple as that. Pick up the shield and stand in front of the enemy. Hide those who need protection behind you. It's that simple. Whenever If you can stick to this bottom line, there will be no problem.”

Leonidas was not very good at teaching others. He said so, he simply turned the head of the gun, slammed the sugar palm, put the long gun in his hand on the floor, turned sideways, held the shield in one hand, and stood in front of him.

"In terms of technology, different people have different understandings."

As he said, he swung his shield vigorously, rammed, swung, and used the shield edge to attack, and many techniques were displayed by him.

"Technology can be exercised. But, the core, there is always only one point. That is to hold a shield, stand in front of the enemy, and protect the friendly army behind. This is a simple thing that anyone can do. As long as you think this way, you will not Lose your courage. You won't panic. Just keep that in mind, and you'll be a good escort!"

Leonidas said, and picked up the gun again.

When telling her about it, for a moment, Leonidas seemed to have returned to the land of Sparta, back to the time and space of the past, the moment when he stood up for the country and led his elite troops to resist Persia.

The Wenquanguan War, no matter how you look at it, is an extremely stupid battle in the eyes of modern people.

The motley Greek coalition army led by 300 Spartans dared to try to resist the Persian army known as [-] elite soldiers.No matter how you look at it, it's an extremely stupid choice.No sane person would choose that.

However, Leonidas went anyway.

In the battle, the combat effectiveness of the motley army is honestly not worth looking forward to.

The real main force is still [-] Spartans.

In an endless sea of ​​enemies, any skill is irrelevant.

Because it really doesn't make sense.The enemy is inexhaustible.

No matter how many kills, the next person will rush over, and the latter person will push the previous person's body as a shield and stab the knife from under the ribs or in the direction of the shoulder.There is no room for skills to be inserted in this chaos.

Kill a hundred people, and a thousand people will come up.

At that time, all that could be relied on was the Spartans' tempered body and spirit.

If you think about how to defeat Xerxes' army, or how to stop the army's footsteps, your mind will probably collapse before your body.

This is what Leonidas learned after the war: that is to simplify complex things and only think about the simplest things.

Faced with the army of Xerxes, who cares how many he comes?Pick up your shield, pick up your gun, stand in front of your enemies, and stand in front of your allies.Continue this movement until you can't stand up.

(Probably, for the current Matthew, it is still a bit difficult to understand.)
He thought so.

In fact, this answer... was not the answer Matthew wanted.

What she wanted to know was how to use the shield's techniques and tricks to bring out the shield's combat effectiveness...

but……

(Do you have any experience with the shield? Senior Leonidas is always a good shield player...)
"Okay, I, I remember."

Matthew responded, no matter if he understood it or not, he should keep it in his mind first.

Leonidas smiled boldly and stood still.

"Mashu-kun, there's no need to expect too luxurious technology, and there's no need to think about too complicated things. Just do what you're supposed to do well. If you hone your skills, you'll definitely find a technology that suits you! In order to reach that moment—let’s do special training! First, let’s do basic training first!”

"Huh?! Okay, okay! I get it! Matthew Kyrielet will do his best!"

Hearing that Leonidas later said that he wanted to train himself, Matthew hurriedly agreed.

This is the answer she wants!

Perhaps, one day in the future, Mash will understand after going through a lot of battles.

The answer given by Leonidas is not flashy enough, but that is the real essence of the shield.
