Alien Knights

Early in the morning, Todd found an unoccupied corner and began to conduct surprise training for the four people who were about to perform on stage.

The barbarian sisters, Parli and Parni, embraced Ackerman's arms from left to right. The expressions of the man and the woman looked like newlyweds.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Todd signaled the four of them to pick up their weapons and stand on both sides.

"First of all, let me see the real effect of your actual battle." Todd put his palms together and waved towards the middle: "Take this as an arena and start a formal fight."

Kaspar uses a tower shield and short sword, Ackerman uses a short bow and dagger, and the Barbarian sisters use two scimitars.

After a little preparation, the four divided into two groups and soon fought together.

Hearing the sound of weapons beating non-stop, Todd watched it for less than half a minute before pinching the bridge of his nose with a headache and shouting, "Stop, stop!"

The fight between these four people, Casper vs. Palli, and Ackerman vs. Palni, there is no tactical arrangement and teamwork at all, and they fight on their own.

Kasper and Palli were a little bit better. Although their movements were blunt and their steps were rigid, they seemed to be fighting anyway; as for Ackerman and Palny, these two guys were not fighting at all, but flirting, or the kind of flirting that made people look very angry.

Eye contact, body touch, hug and hug...

Todd stepped on the stone slab beside him and smashed it to pieces, and shouted at the four of them: "Do you really know the seriousness of the matter? You will go to the arena at noon tomorrow! If you don't make it right, you will all be executed!"

Looking at the puddle of rocks and debris under Todd's feet, Ackerman swallowed, and said respectfully: "Master Boyle, we obey your orders."

Recalling the movie clips he watched in the soul world, Todd first asked Casper to stand in front and Ackerman to stand behind him: "You two, one in front of the other, the archer is the main attacker, and the shield is the main defender. In gladiatorial combat, you must form a team cooperation."

Then he said to Palli and Palni: "Both of you use dual knives, and the main tactic is to find the enemy's flaws and attack at weak points."

After talking about the team's tactics, Todd began to walk to the field in person, analyzing the order of shots and the movement of positions based on the action clips in the movie.

"After playing, Casper walked directly opposite the opponent, erected a shield, and protected the archer behind him. Ackerman, how is your archery level?"

"My ancestors have been hunters for seven generations. The arrows I shoot are a hundred steps away..."

"Don't talk big, tell me the truth! Although it's a performance, if there is a slight mistake, people will die!"

After listening to Todd's advice, Ackerman scratched the back of his head and said after thinking, "Within ten steps, you can hit an object the size of a silver coin; within thirty steps, you can hit an object the size of a face; if it exceeds fifty steps, it's hard to say..."

Todd nodded: "This aim is enough. You hide behind Casper, over his shoulder, and shoot an arrow towards Palli's right shoulder. But beforehand, you have to change the arrows of all the arrows."

Ackerman asked suspiciously: "Change the arrow?"

"That's right, replace the original metal arrow with something like this." Todd said while pulling out a pile of black-painted stones from his pocket.

Palli came over, looked at these strange stones, and asked, "What is this?"

"Flint, you can often see these things in blacksmith shops. They are heavy and have low lethality. The most important thing is that when they collide with metal, they will have this effect..."

Todd picked up a piece of flint and lightly stroked on Palli's scimitar, a dazzling and brilliant spark lit up the nearby air.

Hearing the exclamation of the four people around him, Todd shook the flint in his hand, thinking that in movies, flint and magnesium powder are often used to create the effect of sparks from weapons.

He then said to Parli: "When Ackerman's arrow shoots at you, you raise your two knives, cross them on your right shoulder, and block the arrow."

Todd turned his head to Parney at the end: "You go around Casper and attack Ackerman hiding behind the shield with your knife."

He took out another thing from his bosom—the pig's bladder. Under everyone's amazed eyes, Todd put this bulging animal organ on Parney's right leg, and then pierced the bladder with a sword (of course it was the pig's).

The bright red "blood" splashed out and sprinkled on the ground one meter away, startling everyone.

Casper widened his eyes and looked at Todd: "What is this?"

Todd thought to himself, there are iron hydroxide and sodium chloride inside, no matter the color or shape, they are almost the same as blood.

But he could only answer: "You don't need to worry about what these things are, as long as you know that once this thing is broken, it can simulate the effect of injury. Before using it, it can be tied to hidden and safe places such as shoulders, legs, and back."

Ackerman picked up the shriveled pig bladder and exclaimed, "This is really amazing."

After Todd explained the use of spark props and artificial blood again, he continued to explain the details of the gladiatorial fight. While explaining, he also taught by precepts and deeds, and personally accompanied the four people to feed and move.

Twelve hours passed without knowing it, and the afterglow of the setting sun was projected on the earth. Todd sat in the shade of the open space, watching the four gladiators rehearsing for tomorrow's battle over and over again.

From blunt to smooth movements, from expressionless to lively, from knotted legs to skillful walking, the four people in front of them, after experiencing countless setbacks and failures, finally have a certain tacit understanding and cooperation.

The battle performances performed may seem immature to those critical film critics in the previous life, but in the eyes of people in the Middle Ages who have never seen a movie-level battle scene, they are enough to amaze everyone.

Especially Ackerman, this handsome guy who is only twenty-four years old, is simply a genius in the acting department. He has an innate talent in movement, expression and positioning. When there was a problem with his partner's performance, or even an accident, he was able to adapt to the situation and ensure that the scene could be performed smoothly.

If this guy was put in his previous life, he might really be able to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry just because of his face and talent.

Thinking of this, Todd shook his head helplessly, stood up from the ground, and whispered to himself: "It has been four years since I came to this world, and I am still thinking about the things in my previous life..."

Seeing his solemn face, the four people who were rehearsing for the battle stopped their movements. Ackerman looked at Todd and asked carefully: "Master Boyle, is it our movement? Is there any problem?"

Todd came back to his senses and waved his hand: "It's not your business... Regarding tomorrow's gladiatorial fight, I can't help you much anymore. Hurry up and rehearse well."

Saying goodbye to the four of them one by one, Todd returned to his residence, opened the soul world as usual, and began to call Rachel to enter.

After the latter entered the research institute of the soul world, the first thing he did was to search for ice cream.

While eating a cold drink with a small spoon, Rachel turned on the computer on the table. Rachel showed a map on the screen and said to Todd, "Here, I have found what you want. This is the map of Ulster Palace..."
