Chapter 264: The Tin Knight and The Banquet of Madness (4)
Originally, coordinating in battle was an extremely difficult task.
In a moment of carelessness, one might cut an ally with their own sword, their feet might get tangled, or an ally might block their line of sight or firing line.
Therefore, even if five ordinary people with a combat power of 1 each gathered, they couldn’t exert a combat power of 5. They ended up hindering each other.
What was needed to overcome such disadvantages and draw out power beyond what they possessed were battle formations and tactics.
While small and medium-sized families might struggle to maintain even a single proper knightly order, it was natural for families with considerable scale and power to practice at least one or two approved formations or techniques.
If the setting were slightly different, the Lion Duke’s bloodline might have been called the “Greatest Sect Under The Heavens” or “The Three Pillars of Lennart”, but even they were no exception.
Rather, they were among the best in cooperative attacks, even on the continent.
Although there were subtle differences, they learned martial arts with the same roots, and by constantly competing and training with each other, they could sufficiently predict what each person would do at any given moment.
Their ability to find optimal positions and coordinate with just a simple exchange of glances was so beautiful it almost felt like a sword dance on stage.
In contrast, the movements of the Tin Knight and Adelaide facing them were disparate.
To start with, their armaments were different, with a one-handed sword and shield versus a two-handed sword, and their tactics differed, with the Tin Knight emphasizing defense and counters while Adelaide focused on evasion and critical hits.
“Guh!”
