The so-called 'trained footsteps' can be easily recognized by those in the know.
Even if the training methods differ, the combat philosophies vary, as long as the battlefield environment is still a brawl between people, there will always be some similarities.
The footsteps shouldn't be too erratic or flimsy; it's best to keep them close to the ground at all times to easily push off and adapt as necessary.
But they can't be too rigid either, because tense muscles can't produce a good burst of strength, and during unexpected situations, there's no time to shift positions with the feet.
So, the footsteps by the port warehouse made Lann immediately realize: there was someone with decent skills, or at least someone who had undergone stringent training, approaching.
Upholding the principle of 'helping to the end', Lann didn't just leave the employer after receiving the payment.
He reached out and placed Petulus behind him, quietly watching the direction of the footsteps.
