Chapter 610: Sword Saint Su Xia
Su Xia waited for a long time, but when he arrived at the British residential area, he still didn't get Qu Qi's reply. He had reason to believe that Qu Qi was suddenly busy with something. Some clues indicated that Qu Qi simply didn't want to reply to him. He remembered that she was a girl with a strong personality. Anyway, there was no reply in a short time. No other admiral spoke to chat with him, so he put away his phone with some disappointment.
King George V and the Invincible were found on the grass behind the British residential building.
Wudi was still wearing armor and had not changed into casual clothes, but he no longer wore his helmet. No one knew where he had put it. He held the sword in both hands, the blade not the hilt, and took a stance.
Standing in front of her was Saint George, also wearing full body armor. Su Xia remembered that it was one of the many sets of armor in her collection. He held it on his shoulders in an ordinary way. The sword was not the sword she usually used, but a two-handed greatsword. Anyway, he had tried to lift it before, but could only swing it by inertia.
King George V knew that Su Xia was coming, so compared to the others who were concentrating on watching the confrontation between Wudi and St. George, she had been paying attention to the movements around her. At this time, she was the first to notice Su Xia approaching. She didn't say anything, but just waved her hand, motioning Su Xia to come over. When Su Xia came closer, she whispered, "Why are you here now, Admiral?"
"Something happened." Su Xia said. He was too lazy to explain that he was chatting with someone in the admiral group on the way here. He was so engrossed in the conversation that he simply stood on the side of the road until the other person disappeared.
King George V of England just asked the question casually and did not pursue the question further.
"What are they doing?" Su Xia asked curiously.
"You know that many of us in the British Empire like swords. Every day, people practice swordplay in the garden." King George V paused, "I was passing by with Wudi and saw someone practicing swordplay here. Wudi saw it and she is also a ship girl who likes swordplay. I heard that St. George wanted to compete with her."
"Oh." Su Xia responded without comment, "Who do you think is stronger?"
"It's hard to say." asked King George V of England.
In terms of battleships, Invincible and St. George are evenly matched. Invincible is obviously stronger than St. George only in terms of speed. As for shipgirls, the strength of shipgirls is related to the battleships. We haven't tested Invincible yet, so we don't know what its properties are. But Invincible before the transformation is no match for St. George after the transformation. Without using supernatural powers, it's hard to say who is stronger between Invincible and St. George.
Su Xia looked at Wudi and then at St. George. The two men were of similar height, so Wudi should be slightly shorter. She really didn't know how to judge.
"Why is Wudi holding the hilt?" Su Xia finally couldn't help asking. He liked female knights, but that was all. The knights in fantasy works were completely different from the knights in reality. As far as he knew, the knights in fantasy works rode the world, and the heavily armored knights could charge back and forth without any problem, but that was totally impossible in reality.
"Admiral, aren't you known as a master of swordsmanship?" The teasing voice did not come from King George V of England. King George V's voice was mature, and that voice was full of girlishness.
Su Xia looked over and saw a beautiful girl with short blond hair and curly hair standing there with her arms crossed. That was Montpellier.
Montpelier, the third ship of the American Cleveland-class light cruiser, was named after the city of Montpelier.
After entering service, Montpelier served as the flagship of the 12th Cruiser Division of the US Navy. She once served as the flagship of the US fleet in the Battle of Empress Augusta Bay. She was active in the subsequent battles in the Marianas and the Philippines. She received a total of 13 battle stars and the Navy's collective commendation throughout World War II.
There is no transformation in the game, not even a skill, so you can imagine what her status is. Anyway, Su Xia has always liked her broken character illustration, it is so cute.
"When did I claim to be a master of swordsmanship?" Su Xia asked. As an admiral, he really couldn't show weakness. "Well, I know more about kendo, but I'm still a little bit behind in Western swordsmanship."
Montpellier snorted, distrust almost written on his face.
"Really? Why would I lie to you?" Su Xia said. To be honest, he did know more about kendo, mainly because he went to kendo gyms more often.
"It's fun to fool me." Montpellier replied as a matter of course.
"Iai Slash, Sword Drawing Slash, Sky-Soaring Dragon Slash, Swallow Return, Falcon Sword, May Rain Slash, Perfect Slash, Iron-Slashing..." Su Xia laughed as he spoke. The fact was that he didn't know much about kendo and was still at the level of a layman watching the fun.
"Let me think, I remember seeing it before, it was called something...Meyer Cube or something?" Su Xia pondered for a moment, "I remembered, German Meyer Style Long Swordsmanship... No, is Meyer Cube related to that German Charlie swordsmanship?"
"Something about the swordsmanship of German Charles or something." Montpellier was a little confused.
"Is the German Richardnauer school of swordsmanship what you want to talk about, Admiral?" The girl with long blond hair standing next to Montpellier spoke up. She had been standing next to him with a serious expression on her face. She was Denver.
Denver, the fourth American Cleveland light cruiser, can be said to be the sister of Montpelier.
Denver performed well in the Battle of the Solomon Islands, the Battle of Empress Augusta Bay, and subsequent battles. He continued to fight on various fronts until the war was won. He received eleven battle stars and a Navy Corps Commendation throughout World War II.
The fates of Denver and Montpellier in the game are not much different, it's just a change of clothes.
Su Xia didn't have much feeling for Denver in the game, but he had had many interactions with him here, such as having a water fight. He remembered that the girl was known as the guardian knight of the beach, but she had basically no way to protect anything. Her small water gun was far inferior to King Kong and Bumblebee's water guns.
"That's the name." Su Xia asked, "Are the Meyer Cube and that swordsmanship the same swordsmanship?"
"No," Montpellier said, "the names are all different."
"Are you sure?" Su Xia asked.
Montpelier suddenly felt guilty. In fact, she didn't know much about swordsmanship. The reason she was here was just to accompany her sister Denver.
Su Xia booed without hesitation.
"Then let me ask the admiral which country Fiore belongs to," said Montpellier.
"I don't want to answer your question. Anyway, I know your level." Su Xia said disdainfully. Then, the unhappy Montpellier poked her waist with his finger. At that time, she hissed and shouted, "Montpellier!!!"
Montpellier smiled playfully, and slipped away when Su Xia reached out her hand to grab her.
Su Xia rubbed his waist. He did not chase Montpellier. He did not think he could catch the slender and flexible girl. He looked at Wudi and St. George who had already started a fight. He said, "Denver, tell me why Wudi is holding the blade instead of the hilt."
This time it was King George V of England who spoke. She said, "The invincible swordsmanship is the swordsmanship of the armor."
"Armor-to-armor swordsmanship?" Su Xia asked. It was the first time he heard of that swordsmanship.
King George V thought for a moment and said, "Imagine two knights in full plate armor fighting each other with swords. The blades have no way of hurting the armor. It is very likely that both sides will be unscathed after fighting for a hundred rounds. At this time, you can use armor-to-armor swordsmanship to deal with the enemy in full plate armor."
"Hammer." King George V of England said, "Look at the invincible sword. There is a weighted ball on the hilt. This weighted ball is very heavy. You can attack with the blade, which can be understood as holding a hammer to attack the enemy."
"I totally understand." Su Xia nodded and said, "Why not just use a hammer?"
"What if there is no hammer?" King George V of England asked back, "In fact, this move is more about creating an opportunity for attack by smashing the enemy's helmet to make a loud noise and cause dizziness."
"Oh." Su Xia asked again, "Won't it hurt your hand if you hold the blade directly?"
"No." King George V said, "Didn't you see that the Invincible Hand was wearing an iron glove? If you hold it in the right position, it will hardly cut your hand."
"Then why didn't Saint George hold the sword?" Su Xia asked, "Wudi is also wearing armor, so he can use armor-to-armor swordsmanship."
"There is no counterweight on the hilt of St. George's sword," King George V of England said patiently.
Su Xia understood everything.
"As far as I'm concerned, no sword or hammer is better than a gun." Montpellier came back at some point, "If you hesitate, you will fail." She is also a gamer.
"No gun is better than a cannon." Su Xia grabbed Montpellier's wrist, "I still remember what happened just now."
In the end, Su Xia didn't do anything to Montpellier because the battle between Invincible and Saint George became intense and he couldn't take his eyes off it.
Compared to Invincible who had just been built by Suxia, St. George had already lived as a ship girl for a long time. Now she has been transformed and is taller than before the transformation. In addition, she has the opportunity to practice sword with everyone from time to time. Her swordsmanship is definitely better than Invincible, so she naturally won the final victory.
"A wonderful fight." Wudi lost, but he was very graceful, "I have to admit defeat if I am not as skilled as the other person."
"You are also very strong." St. George's meaning was very clear. You are also very strong, but not as strong as me. As a Westerner, we are not as subtle as Orientals.
"Next time I want to take off my armor, and we can compete again. Senior St. George." Wudi was bluntly polite. The armored swordsmanship and the unarmored swordsmanship are of different types of swordsmanship.
"You're welcome anytime." St. George smiled. She liked the junior.
Su Xia and King George V of England walked up.
King George V of England laughed and said, "Invincible still looks inferior to St. George."
"Not now." Wudi said, "But I believe I can defeat Senior St. George in the future."
"I'm waiting for your challenge." Saint George said, his hair wet with sweat. "Admiral, help me pull my armor."
"I tell Wudi." King George V of England laughed, "Saint George only showed 50% of his strength."
"Hmm?" Wudi looked at St. George. St. George didn't even breathe heavily, proving that she still had some strength left.
"But if we talk about the strongest person in our tutelage," said King George V, "it's not Saint George."
"Who is that?" Wudi found it hard to imagine anyone more powerful than St. George.
"It is far away," King George V paused, "but it is right before our eyes."
"Mr. King George V of England?" Wudi asked. She was the only one in front of her.
King George V replied: "No, it's the admiral."
"Does the admiral know swordsmanship?" Wudi asked in surprise. No matter how you look at it, the admiral is not weak, but he doesn't seem to have any signs of training either.
Su Xia was helping St. George take off his armor. When the armor was removed, revealing the thin white clothes underneath, he heard what King George V said and said, "Don't talk nonsense, George V. I don't know any swordsmanship."
"I'm not talking nonsense." King George V of England said with certainty, "Does Wudi know what the strongest swordsmanship is?"
Wudi thought about it for a long time. Different sword techniques have different characteristics and are suitable for different occasions. It is difficult to distinguish the good from the bad. At least she can't tell the difference. She shook her head and said, "I don't know."
King George V of England snatched the sword from the invincible hand, raised it to the sky, and said: "The sword is a weapon, a weapon to kill people, and swordsmanship is nothing more than the art of killing people."
"If you ask me, with ordinary swordsmanship, killing a person with one sword is incredible." King George V of England paused, "As for the most powerful swordsmanship, a real man born in troubled times should carry a three-foot sword to accomplish unparalleled feats."
"Although the admiral cannot use a sword or wield a weapon." King George V of England pointed his sword at the sea, "but he can - in a few years, he will build a garrison with almost nothing into the strongest garrison in the world, with hundreds of ship girls under his command, starting with the deep-sea Bismarck and Tirpitz. Over the years, he has suppressed countless deep-sea flagships, pointing his sword at the deep-sea ship girls and the endless dark sea."
Wudi didn't say anything.
"Is Invincible a knight?" King George V of England suddenly asked.
"Yeah." Wudi considers himself a knight.
"What is a knight's sword used for?" asked King George V of England.
Wudi thought for a long time and answered: "Guard."
"Yes," said King George V of England, "a knight's sword is not used to kill, but to protect."
"The admiral is obviously an ordinary man, but he is fearless and leads the fleet girls to pin the naval base to the forefront of the war." King George V of England said, "As long as he is here, as long as the naval base is there, the deep-sea fleet girls will never be able to break through the defense line and attack the city. The sword that kills is not the sword of the knight, the sword that protects is the sword of the knight, this is the admiral's sword."
King George V of England looked at Wudi and asked, "What do you think of the admiral's sword? How is the admiral's swordsmanship?"
"Invincible." Invincible slowly uttered two words.
King George V of England smiled and said, "Our admiral has the best swordsmanship and is the most fearless knight."
"Even the strongest swordsmanship still needs a sword." King George V of England handed her the invincible sword, "We are his sword."
Wudi caught the sword. She felt that the sword suddenly became extremely heavy and nodded heavily.
Su Xia noticed that Wudi's eyes were full of brilliance when he looked at him.
Invincible is not invincible, King George V of England is invincible.
In return, Su Xia stayed in King George V's room that night.
