Before the birth of the legendary mercenary king, the two-handed swordsman was a very low-level class in the army, and it occasionally appeared, and it was not used on the battlefield where the class directly competed. It often appears as the commander's escort.
However, under the flickering light of the legendary mercenary king, not only more and more battlefield commanders and professional mercenaries began to use two-handed swords, but the two-handed sword soldier class also formally developed into a system, and in the regular army, four new types of troops appeared.
A large swordsman unit whose ability to break through the plains is on par with that of a tomahawk warrior.
In any combat environment, the best units with ambush and surprise effects can block the two-handed swordsman troops.
The most terrifying and most scrupled of enemy commanders is the advanced class of the two-handed swordsman - the Vulture Great Swordsman, known as the "ghost of the battlefield".
Of course, the special sword soldier species passed down from the legendary mercenary king himself has become the core of the long-range attack forces of various national armies that are both offensive and defensive.

————————————————————————————————————————————
In the spring of the 195th year of the Red Moon Calendar, at the southern end of a small natural village called Heike near the mouth of the warm water river on the frozen continent, there was a small dilapidated courtyard. Although the yard is very dilapidated, the wooden houses made of logs are very new. The courtyard is surrounded by primeval trees like hills.
"Hi... Click... Hi... Click..."
In the middle of the log, the voice of a young boy is rhythmically heard, and if you walk into the yard, you will see a boy chopping wood.
Humans are really a very cheap race. Being in a warm country and eating the best nutrients, but not necessarily in good health, and definitely not being able to raise a teenager who is as strong as a mountain. The boy in front of him is a good example, he was tortured day and night by an Uncle Chi who claimed to be an imperial nobleman but had an unknown origin for 3 years, and he was absolutely unable to eat any nourishment, but on every time he waved his arms up and down, with different movements, the muscles that symbolized strength disappeared from his waist like mercury, then appeared on his arms, and then disappeared again.
The early spring of the warm water river is very cold, in this area, only in the middle of summer can you see the green of the Eminole continent, ordinary people are wearing thick snow animal skin clothes from top to bottom in spring, but this teenage boy is just wearing a pair of leather shorts, sweat from his forehead and body continue to fall to the ground, soon turned into ice particles, white mist rose from his body.
He foamed at the mouth of his calloused palm, then picked up the medium-sized axe on his side and slashed it from the top down, cutting a large log in front of him with a height of 30 centimeters and a diameter of half a meter in half. Then he picked up the machete on one side and paused on the ground, quickly cutting the wood into suitable firewood.
He... Use... Target... Be... Chop... Knife...?
Even the strongest lumberjacks face the coniferous hardwoods of the frozen continent and must resort to axes if they want to cut firewood effortlessly. If you use a machete, the thin blade will be caught by the wood just after cutting into the wood, and there is no way to continue cutting, often you need to cut five or six times in a row to cut to the end, and the blade of the machete is damaged very quickly.
How much strength does it take to use a machete as an axe?
"Son, come here." The people in the room were cheeky and continued to take advantage.
"Okay, Uncle Chi, I'll be there right away." Amy cleaned up the firewood and went into the cabin that had just been built last summer.
"From today onwards, you need to learn the use of weapons, and you don't have to chop so much wood in the afternoon, anyway, the people in the village can't use it, and spend half of your time learning weapons every afternoon." Chi Hanfeng rarely had such a solemn time.
"What weapons do you like? Well, how about I recommend you use a combination of a knight's spear and a sword? You'll be the right fit. This will become your favorite. Regardless of Amy's attitude, Chi Hanfeng began to forcibly recommend to Amy who I don't know whose favorite it was. You see, although you are taller among your peers, you are not as tall as a mountain man, so a two-handed axe must not be suitable for you; From what I know of you, you don't like the profession of an archer, which feeds on sneak attackers; The combination of a single knife and a shield is too lethal and suitable for people who have no strength. Hammer weapons are becoming less and less used, and they are destined to be obsolete. Wow~~ Didn't you tell me that you have to learn spears, spears are only used in the army, and only have a counter-restraint effect on cavalry, and nothing else. Ji Hanfeng said as he observed Amy's expression and came up with the words that were most likely to impress him.
"I imagine like my father, I'm going to learn two-handed swordsmanship." In the face of such a chattering uncle, Amy, who is only 10 years old, has a more and more dull personality, and generally does not speak until the end, but as long as he expresses his position, there is often no way to transfer his will.
"Sure enough, it's your father's son, he has a personality, I like it." Uncle Chi said with a smile and patted Amy's face with his hand. Suddenly, he twisted Amy's face fiercely, and said with a vicious face: "No, this time I have the final say, you must learn knight spears from me, and I will train you to be an imperial knight like me." What's so good about a two-handed greatsword? This is the lowest class of troops in the army, you see the orthodox knights, in general, with a one-handed stabbing sword, which can be combined with a shield; On the battlefield, it is always the knight's spear and shield, which is the main force of war. "
Originally, in all the armies of the empire and the states, soldiers who had just joined the army could only choose three battalions: pikemen, two-handed swords, and archers, and after one year of training for recruits, potential people would be selected from them to enter higher-level barracks. For example, a pikeman can become a squire knight, or he can become a tomahawk warrior. Warriors with magical potential are often selected from the archer barracks to become magical archers after a year of magical training, or to become wolf archers. Only the sword soldier battalion, when recruiting warriors, those who are not in good shape and have no training prospects will be sent to the two-handed sword battalion, although the two-handed swordsmen who perform well also have the opportunity to become squire knights, of course, they must change to other weapons, and this opportunity is quite rare. Not only that, but there are very few two-handed sword soldiers who actually enter the battlefield, and if it weren't for the fact that this branch of the army requires the least equipment and other expenses, and can be used as a force to maintain law and order, it would have disappeared from the military arms of various countries a long time ago. If a country uses a battalion of sword soldiers in a war, then the time is not far from the time when the winner is clear.
No matter how Chi Hanfeng coerced and tempted, Amy said a word - this is certainly not a tacit statement.
"Oh my God, what have I done, how can my dignified imperial knight have such a disciple, big brother, I'm sorry for you, I haven't met the sister-in-law, I'm too incompetent, I don't have the ability to teach your children well, he wants to be a low-level two-handed swordsman." Chi Hanfeng covered his face in grief and cried exaggeratedly.
"What are you crying about, a big man, and there are no tears, you don't have to look at me through your fingers, I'm used to it." It is said that black humor is one-way - often with demons, and even silent angels sometimes say some black humorous words.
"It seems that if I don't reveal my true identity, you won't be moved." When the man with his hands over his face heard the black humor, he sat motionless on the edge of the bed like a stone statue, and put on a cool demeanor.
"Amy, in fact, I'm not an ordinary knight, I'm the highest level of Imperial knights, the Phantom Beast Knight, and I also hope that you can become a proud Phantom Beast Knight like me! I summon you in my name, come out, Phantom Beast Spirit Wolf~~~" Chi Hanfeng's ten fingers pressed against each other tightly.
A large pentagonal barrier appeared in the middle of the room, and after a burst of dazzling white light, a snow wolf twice the size of a normal snow wolf appeared in the middle of the room. The white hair like snow, smoothly piled from the head to the tail, the huge tail swayed and swayed, and the head lay on the two huge wolf paws, z~z~z~, snoring comfortably.
The person who wanted to surprise Amy was about to fall to the ground when he saw this huge white wolf.
"Xiaobai~~" Mr. Noble squatted down to stroke the wolf's ear, and said miserably: "We haven't seen each other for three years, I originally hoped that you could recuperate in the Phantom Beast Holy Garden, but you gave me one of my biggest surprises, that is, you made me find out that you ——-have gained weight", Chi Hanfeng screamed hysterically, and tore the wolf's ear with his hand.
"Wow-hmm-" The awakened white wolf violently broke free from his ears and turned around, revealing his huge fangs and blood-red tongue.
When the white wolf saw that it was Chi Hanfeng, a smile appeared on his vicious face, and his tail kept shaking from side to side, knocking Chi Hanfeng to the ground at once.
In this process, the ugly side of human beings is revealed in Mr. Chi Hanfeng.
Facing a more ferocious face, Chi Hanfeng immediately changed his tone, and flattered the wolf to touch his long hair: "No, no, I mean to say that I haven't seen you for three years, you have grown up and become more handsome." When the wolf was deceived and showed a smile, Chi Hanfeng immediately turned over and rode the wolf under him, grabbed the long hair on the wolf's head with one hand, and gave the wolf a few times on the head with the other hand: "Grandma, from today onwards, you are not allowed to go back to the Holy Garden, and you will go to the courtyard every night to keep vigil for me." "
From beginning to end, Amy was indeed frightened, the pressure brought by the snow wolf was too great, when seeing such a big snow wolf, and it appeared out of thin air, even an adult hunter would be scared and unresponsive.
Chi Hanfeng was very satisfied with the horror on Amy's face after the white wolf appeared, and he was riding on the wolf's body very majestically, and then took the spear and shield on the wolf's side in his left and right hands respectively, and said to Amy very proudly: "How about it, it's very majestic, if I put on armor, it will be cool to death, and tell you better news, such a mount doesn't need you to provide food, he will go back to the enchantment to find food by himself." "
Amy carefully touched the white wolf's hair, her eyes full of curiosity.
"Do you know why I keep calling you son??" Chi Hanfeng threw out a big burden.
Among the three known continents, the highest-level class is the Dragoon, but because the Wyvern is very rare, especially the Wyvern who is willing to cooperate with people, the generation of Wyvern Knight cannot be deliberately cultivated. The total number of known Wyvern Knights in each country does not exceed 20. Therefore, although the Wyvern Knight is powerful, it is difficult to use as a regular class.
Second only to the Phantom Beast Knight, the only thing that the Phantom Beast Knight is inferior to the Wyvern Knight is: although the Phantom Beast can also use the power of the enchantment to levitate in the air, the Phantom Beast can't magic, so it can't compete with the Dragon Knight in heads-up.
But what makes countries most excited is that phantom beast knights can be cultivated.
I can't say the master: The so-called phantom beast here is definitely not to pick up people's teeth, please don't make any associations with the phantom beasts in the big pistol "Tiantan Gods and Demons".
It is only a knight's mount, and with the different types of phantom beasts, it will affect the knight's combat effectiveness in different environments, and will have different bonuses.
For example, if Chi Hanfeng competes with other phantom beast knights in the Frozen Continent, then he will increase his chances of winning by 50%. If he is absolutely with the average snow wolf knight, then there is no need to fight. Ordinary knights have no chance of defeating Phantom Beast Knights.
