Chapter 66 New Practice Method of Skewing Technique

"How could General Serbia be crazy because of a few sentences Mutiny with crazy words? Your Excellency is well aware of this." In the slightly swaying cabin, Narzia took out two glasses from the cabinet, and asked in a relaxed tone while pouring wine: "I just don't understand. , why did you tell him this."

After the honey-colored liquid poured into the glass, Narzia took a few more ice cubes from a cotton-covered tin can and added Entered the wine and handed it to Lionel.

Lionel is very different from the demeanor in Antonio's study, and now he looks like the chief civil servant of the province known for his shrewdness and courage.

The secretary of state took the glass and shook it a few times, then said calmly: "If I can't convince Debella, I've already failed. The rest are all small repairs, to no avail. As expected...but the corrupt behavior of you nobles can always surprise me a little. Isn't it too extravagant to use court mages to make ice just to drink some ice wine?"

"Down. Not to mention luxury, after all, I am also one of Your Majesty's most trusted 'henchman'." Narzia count replied with a smile.

On the second day after the sudden visit of the Secretary of State, the Virtue left Hailan City with the emperor's embassy. She will stop for supplies at Jade City and drive straight back to the Empire. Veneta's dispatch to the Taniria Islands is a foregone conclusion.

When the Virtue left the dock, the enlarged meeting of high-level officers attended by all the generals of Veneta was in progress. The atmosphere of the inner Qi in the throne room of the Army Headquarters was extremely tense. The meeting had been held for a morning, but there was still no discussion. Come up with a reason.

"...mobilize three more Legions, one month to clear the outer islands, two months to win the Golden Port, three months to level the Taniria Islands..." Appointed as the First Reserve Legion Corps Major General Layton of the Head was moving red light across the whole face towards his colleagues around him spraying saliva.

"Fuck you! If you can't solve the federation in three months, will you punish yourself?" Another general sitting opposite Layton pushed back unceremoniously: "Open your mouth to mobilize again. Three Legions, a total of five Legions, dug up money from your family's ancestral grave?"

Layton was yelled angrily, and he drew his sword and stood up. The general on the opposite side also not to be outdone, and drew out his saber. Seeing that the military council hall was about to turn into a gladiatorial arena, the officers on the side quickly held down the two of them.

The high-level officers who sat farther away were not surprised by this situation for a long time. For more than 30 years after Veneta was founded, more generals died in duels than in battles. Seeing the infighting of the army, the admirals of the navy were even more calm and composed, enjoying the good show with great interest.

"Shame in front of friendly troops!" Zio, the army general and military governor, couldn't see it, and scolded: "Give me all their swords!"

The immediate boss activated the True Fire, and Layton and his opponent dared not impudent any more. The two handed over their swords and sat on the chairs panting with rage, trying to burn each other to death with the anger in their eyes.

Another army general said: "Letton is right. If you don't fight, you will kill the Federation. Five Legions are dispatched in one go to sweep the caves. , is better than one Legion and one Legion. The longer the delay, the easier it is to cause changes."

"Five Legions can solve the alliance in three months?" Someone else retorted. .

"The federation is scattered, why can't it?"

The refutant sneered: "The pseudo-emperor also thinks the same way, the pseudo-emperor claims to be able to destroy us before the Spring Festival, and the result is a sovereignty war. It's been eleven years of fighting!"

"Why should the pirates and slave masters of the federation have a mention on equal terms with us?" The general who supported Layton was also aroused: " And it was the Federation who chose the war, not Veneta!"

"Stop arguing!" Admiral Zio interrupted the two and called another person's name: "Antonio, Say it!"

"I want to hear what other comrades think."

"If you want to say it, say it! The main force to attack Taniria is yours. Third Legion."

Antonio cleared his throat: "Then I'll tell you what I think."

The Conference Hall fell silent for a moment.

"I agree with the point of view mentioned above. The longer the war on the Federation drags on, the worse it will be for us." Antonio said solemnly: "But I absolutely do not support the idea of a quick victory. After the war starts, the most important thing is how to end the war. But I don't know how the ruling committee wants to end the war."

After speaking, Antonio left his seat and walked to the Next to the large map of the inland sea hanging on the wall of the Military Council, he pointed to the Taniria Islands and said: "Where will this war end? Occupy the Golden Port? The Federation surrenders? To become a province of Veneta? Our task now is to figure out our strategic goals."

"Didn't the consul de Bella say 'The Taniria Federation must be destroyed' ?" Someone interrupted Antonio.

"That's right, but what does it mean to destroy the Federation?" Antonio asked back, "hang the leader of the Federation? Disband the Federation? Arrest all the members of the Federation and execute them? Yes, what are we going to do with Taneria after destroying the Federation? Maintain its independence? Take over the Federation's rule? Or turn the islanders into Veneta citizens?"

Finally, Antoni Ao concluded: "Strategic goals are different, strategies are different. Without clear strategic goals, there can be no real victory. In addition, Veneta should be prepared for a long war in any case. War is the biggest decision of the life and death of a country. There should never be any chance of a quick victory.”

Here, Antonio thought of the crazy words of Secretary of State Lionel, and added heavily: “Because our biggest The threat is not from Taniria, but from other... potential enemies."

At three o'clock that afternoon, an order signed by Archon De Bella and four governors was sent Thirteen-member Military Committee:
"The war budget has been approved in full;

The Army's Second Reserve Legion has begun to recruit, and the third and fourth Reserve Legion preparation plans are being prepared;

Authorize the navy to attack any vessel owned by the Confederation of Taneria;

Organize a retaliatory strike against the Confederation of Tanilla as soon as possible."

From power with this order The committee also issued a public statement:

"The Venerable Republic of Veneta and the Federation have entered a state of war, and all treaties, contracts, and agreements have been nullified.

Any support , Veneta who assists the Federation will be considered traitors.

Any Taniria who supports or assists the Federation will be considered an enemy.

Tani Captain Ria and the Federation of Planters will be destroyed.

Victory belongs to Vineta.

That night, Winters, who was also a trainee under Lieutenant Colonel Comter , Bud and Andre got a formal order: bring all the gear, and gather at the West Camp at eight o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow.

——Cut——

The next day fell into the night, In Major Moritz's apartment.

The half-drunk Major Moritz hugged Winters tightly. No matter how Winters refused, the major insisted on teaching Winters how to use "skew" as a farewell The gift.

The three officers from the Military Police Department of the former Army Headquarters gathered again at Major Moritz's apartment, only this time instead of a meeting, Field and Moritz sent Winters off.

“How can I have the ability to use deviance? Winters asked Lieutenant Colonel Fields for help with a wry smile.

However, Fields was so drunk that his eyes went straight and he couldn't understand what Winters was saying.

"Relax...don't worry...I want to What I teach you is my original training method. Moritz took a long burp: "Deflection... Deflection doesn't require any explosive power, the key is precision... Accuracy understand?" "

The major let go of his hand, turned his head and started looking for something: "Where's the chair?" Where's the chair? "

didn't know whether to cry or laugh Winters hurriedly handed Major Moritz his chair, even though he hadn't figured out how to practice deflection with a chair.

Moritz took the chair and staggered onto it. Winters hurried to support the unconscious man, while Major Moritz reached out and took a string from the beam.

The teaching of deviance suddenly turned into a teaching of hanging, and Winters was so frightened that Winters hurriedly took the major from his chair.

The string was very long, hanging from the beam to The height of the table. Moritz tied a small knife to the end of the rope and let Winters back. Back up until the rope was taut, but the tip of the knife was still a finger's width from the tip of Winters' nose and couldn't go any further. Until then.

"You stand, don't move. "Major Moritz said this to Winters and let go of the knife in his hand.

Winters watched as the knife in front of his nose swayed like a swing into the distance, and then again from the distance. He swung back towards himself.

The tip of the blade flashed cold light in an arc from the air, about to stab Winters in the eye, and Winters ducked to the side.

"Don't move, it won't hurt you. Major Moritz explained: "When the knife comes back, it will not exceed its original height, don't believe it. "

Speaking, Major Moritz demonstrated it himself. I saw him holding the knife to the tip of his nose, backing up until the rope was tight, and then letting go.

The knife, which was tied to the rope, swung out and back again like a pendulum. Major Moritz was completely motionless, the knife came back only a tiny distance from the tip of the Major's nose, but did not hurt the Major.

When the knife swung back again, it did not meet Major Moritz head-on like last time, but swayed a distance and swayed to the major's shoulder.

"Do you understand? "Major Moritz asked with a smile on his face.

"I...I'm just getting it a little bit now. "Winters didn't expect Moritz wasn't a boozer, but brought out the real thing: "Senior you're a genius!" "

The principle of the deflection technique is very simple in essence, that is, the horizontal flying arrow technique.

The real difficulty of this spell lies in the requirement of precision.

The sorcerer must accurately cast a spell on an object that is flying at high speed; it must also be able to change the lateral speed of the object immediately before it hits itself, causing it to deviate from its original trajectory.

In contrast to spell The bigger problem with the difficulty itself is that there is no safe and easy-to-use training method for deviance surgery.

The deviance surgery itself is a very high-risk spell, and it is used to save lives in critical moments. But no matter how powerful it is The sorcerer of the kinetic energy system can't completely trust this spell, because if you miss a shot, you will eat a gun.

Of course, training with a musket is courting death. The existing training program is to use bows and arrows. Moved with a light bow towards the trainer archery, let the sorcerer get started by practicing deflected arrows, and then gradually switch to hard bows.

But even with arrows that have been broken off and wrapped in cotton, accidents often happen. Bigger problem It is the sorcerer himself that it is difficult to tell whether the arrow is missed or is deflected by the spell.

Using the spell itself is a 'feel' like archery, and the process of practicing the spell is to deepen the feeling. If the archer I don't know if the arrow I shoot hits the target every time, how can I find the feel?

The training method designed by Major Moritz is very ingenious:

The weight attached to the rope will not exceed the original height when it swings back, and the trainer is in an absolutely safe position, and there will be no additional psychological pressure; The closer the weight on the rope is to the original position, the slower the speed, and the less difficult it is to use spell. You can practice step by step;
The best part is that the sorcerer can clearly know whether he has successfully used the deflection technique. If If the pendulum deviates from the original trajectory, it is a success. Otherwise, it is a failure;
Only need to increase the success rate, wait until you remember the feel of the spell, then you can switch to bow and arrow practice, which is far better than directly using bow and arrow practice. Much easier.

"Genius? Being born with disabilities is about the same, it's just some trickery. Major Moritz beckoned to Winters: "You try it yourself." ”

This time when the knife was moved towards Winters' nose, Winters restrained his fear and did not dodge. The knife did not touch Winters, and reached its limit very close to him. , and swung out again.

While the knife swung back again, Winters attempted to use the flying arrows horizontally on the knife. However, the knife was moving fast in the air and the steel was still in his hand. Cone is not a difficulty at all, Winters have failed several times in a row.

"Know what's going on, go back and practice, it's not that easy to get the hang of it. "Moritz stopped Winters: "Let's have a drink!" "

He patted Field's shoulders on the table, the lieutenant colonel didn't respond: "Has one already fallen?" ”

Winters hurriedly helped Field, who was already asleep, to lie down on the sofa, worried that the lieutenant colonel would be choked to death by his own vomit, so he put the lieutenant colonel into a side-lying position.

Major Moritz watched Winters adjust Field's sleeping position and said with a smile, "You've got your mind. "

After he finished speaking, he lay back on the wobbly reclining chair, lay on his back and looked at the ceiling, and said peacefully: "You are a good young man, but you must not mix with me." ...haha, don't mix up like Field. "

This sentence is a bit too heavy, Winters didn't know what to say for a while.

After a long silence, Winters asked with difficulty a question that he had always wanted to ask, but A question never asked out of courtesy: "I don't understand why a sorcerer like you is drinking...you are the greatest sorcerer I've ever seen, no one...why? Have you forgotten what Antoine Laurent said? "

"Any addiction is poison to a sorcerer, I remember." Moritz sniffed, holding the bottle of wine, his eyes sparkling: "However, Winters, you don't understand, the only thing that can keep a rational soul from falling into the abyss is bad habits. Answer me, do you believe in God? "

"Unbelieve, the sorcerer should be an atheist." "

"I don't believe it either. I have visited Divine Vestige, researched tomes, and sought evidence of the existence of gods. But the more I learned about various religions, the less I could not believe in the existence of gods. Winters, answer me one more question, have you ever lost someone close to you? "

"No. "The parents who have never been masked are obviously not close.

"That's a good thing. Have you ever wondered where people go when they die? "

"...No. "

"Normans believe that after death they can feast with the gods; Catholic believers believe that they will go to paradise after death; Celica believe that after death they will enter a circulatory system and become a new life. animal. Do you know why various religions depict the afterlife world? "

"...don't know.

"Because people are afraid of death, because people hope that their death is not a real 'death', and hope that their souls can continue to exist. For us sorcerers, atheists, and rational people, Death is a complete dissipation of consciousness, and everything that happens in the world after that has nothing to do with you, you can't feel it... No, death means not even feeling itself. The world scolds you, mourns you, remembers you, and for you Words don't have any meaning...not even the meaning itself. When you die, you have nothing... Can you understand?"

The amount of information was so overwhelming that Winters couldn't understand it for a while.

Moritz murmured, "One day you will understand, people will die, and one day you will lose people who are important to you, and you can't help but start thinking about them. Where did they go? In the end you will get a cruel answer, they didn't go anywhere, they just don't exist, they're gone..."

Winters sorted it out and asked back, "Trust Isn’t that the case when people of God die? Aren’t people who believe in God deceived?”

“Of course they were deceived.” Moritz replied softly: “But for a consciousness A person who no longer exists, what's the point of being deceived? Anyway, he will not be angry, regretful, or unwilling. Since it is completely dissipated after death, it is better to be deceived in exchange for peace in life.

"Then why are you still an atheist? "

"Me? Moritz curled up on the reclining chair and said with a smile: "There is no point in pretending to be unbelieving. One cannot deceive oneself." I was too sensible to be deceived by religion, but not brave enough to accept death. I live now just to live, without any meaning. But I don't want to die, I have to be muddleheaded alive. You still have very important people to show that your life has meaning, protect them, don't become like me..."

Major Moritz's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally began to gently Snoring, already asleep.

Winters took the bottle from Major Moritz and found a thin blanket to cover the major. Make sure both Lt. Col. Field and Major Moritz were sleeping After that, he walked into Moritz's bedroom.

Opening the backpack, Winters took out a beautiful reed gun. After confirming that the lighter could fire a fire star, Winters began to fill in the Loading ammunition.

Narzia count brought a pair of reed revolvers with exquisite workmanship and luxurious decoration. The inside of the barrel is polished like a copper mirror, and it can be seen within 30 steps. Able to shoot wherever you want.

Antonio gave Winters one, and Winters is now reloading it.

After reloading, Winters neatly put it on A tight black clothed set, he deliberately did not wear military boots today, but a pair of moccasins.

Insert the reed gun into the holster on his right leg and tie a long dagger to his left leg , and finally slung the belt with the steel cone over his shoulder.

After reconfirming that the other two officers in the living room were drunk, Winters pushed open the window of Moritz's bedroom and turned to On the roof.

He didn't quite understand what Major Moritz was saying, but he would at all costs protect those he cared about, and he didn't have to teach the major.
