As a Human Merc. Your body (or hit points/health) would be 6 at level 1. Brennus is recommending taking the skill humans get called Body Point Bonus. Which would bring your max body to 11.
In the medium weapon category there should be both long sword and short sword. they also have various sizes you can make them but both swing for 2 damage points.
Weapon Spec is a skill for 100 cp (for mercs.) that increases your damage by 1, so your sword would swing 3 damage points.
Flurry of blows is a skill you can buy for I think 40 cp that allows you to swing 5 extra damage for three swings once per day.
As for the shield they have something called thresholds, The starting shield has a threshold of 10, which means if you block an attack that does 11 damage or more with the shield it breaks.
I believe the build Brennus is recommending is:
Human Merc.
Medium weapon: 40 cp
Body bonus: 50cp
Shield: 50 cp
Flurry of blows: 40cp
That would leave you with 20 cp left over which could be saved or used on a cheap skill such as self mutilate. (Self mutilate allows you to willingly take damage.) Personally I like Brennus's build more as every extra bit of body you can get will usually save your life as a fighter at some point.
Hopefully that answers any questions you had.
