Chapter 38: Growth
In the process of adaptation, whether it was for military slaves or mountain people, the Young Army did not accept all the orders.
is still the same sentence, there are more than 100 people, all kinds of people.
There are also scum like ghost slaves among the familiar slaves, and there are also bullies and twisted minds among the military slaves, such people will always be found out, and they will not be held accountable for minor evils, and they will be punished heavily, and the big evils will be expelled depending on the situation, and the heavy ones will be beheaded.
The dozen or so heads that landed in a row clearly told those military slaves that the benevolence of the young army was not without principles and bottom lines, and once the bottom line was crossed, they would kill people without blinking.
In troubled times, it has been the case throughout the ages.
Compared with other mountain people, these people of the Skull Crusher Legion have more distinct personalities, and they have long been labeled as obvious skull crushers - wild, fearless, affectionate and righteous over life and death, and most importantly, most of them have a lower IQ than ordinary people.
It's not that they're stupid, it's a little bit two, a little bit of a tendon, and that's a side effect of the Kentana barbarian bloodline. McGee the Skullcrusher was one of the few smart people among them.
For this kind of person, you don't expect him to develop a high level of tactical literacy, and when he goes to the battlefield and goes crazy when he sees blood, he will leave everything behind.
It is impossible to change them, and even if it is successful, the gain is not proportional to the effort.
Sean won't do this kind of thankless work, what they have to do is to magnify their strengths as much as possible, when the strengths form enough advantages, the shortcomings will not become so obvious, even if they know his shortcomings, but they have been broken down, there is no way to talk about it.
Since he is not good at large-scale legion cooperation, it will be changed to squad cooperation, and when necessary, individual combat, Sean has already reflected this in the selection of equipment.
There are javelins and hand axes at medium and close ranges, heavy hammers and heavy axes to break armor at close range, and one-handed swords for close-range combat, and when necessary, javelin and hand axes can be turned into close-range combat weapons.
Since you can't understand something too complicated, then simplify all the tactics to the extreme, attack with drums, retreat with gongs, and gather with whistles, these simplest military orders are always fine.
The most important thing now is to select the lowest level of the army commander and the team leader, unlike the team commander and the team commander of the junior army attached to the engineer, they do not need to be responsible for any logistics tasks, there is only one thing to do, after going to the battlefield, they keep blowing the whistle, charging and charging.
Such people are not strong enough to do the job, and in order to demonstrate their special status, and for their safety, these people will have tailor-made captain armor like McGee the Skullcrusher.
If you have enough ability, you can even wear three layers of armor - the number of chain mails is limited, and there is no way to make everyone wear three layers of armor, of course, this also involves a weight problem.
After getting the news, all the Skull Crusher soldiers, like a bull who had to fight, with red eyes and hot air, searched for opponents all over the school field, glory, special treatment, captain armor, and three-layer armor, each of which was an irresistible temptation for them.
Of course, it is impossible to let them fight headless and brainless, when the elite is not selected, there are a lot of injuries, these burly and reckless men, even if they are bare-handed, the lethality should not be underestimated.
In terms of strength, most people have a knight level (strength over 2), and some outstanding ones even reach the level of a great knight (strength over 3) - attributes are only a measure and cannot fully demonstrate a person's combat effectiveness, which depends on various comprehensive qualities.
The standard armor that had been completed came in handy first, and every group of thirty people fought a large-scale organized chaotic battle, and the weapons were thick wooden sticks, and the last one was victorious, and then the whole school field, the sound of wooden sticks whipping the armor sounded all night.
Sean still underestimated these guys a little, not only is their strength amazing, but their endurance is also extraordinary, ordinary people break out for at most three or five minutes, ten minutes and eight minutes for a little bull break, and eight achievements are prostration, and the so-called duel battle is three thousand will be peaceful, and it is quasi-nonsense.
And these Skull-Crushing Legionnaires wore hundreds of pounds of armor on top of their heads, and there were many more than half an hourglass of brawls on the field, and sometimes racial talent was really a jealous drooler.
Sean was not interested in watching a group of big men sweat together, and after setting the general policy, he returned to the arsenal that had been turned into a large production workshop, where there was also a night battle with candles, and the active Ralph was enlivening the atmosphere and further narrowing the distance between the two sides.
"How's the meat bun tonight?"
"Delicious!"
"It's the most delicious thing I've ever tasted in the world. ”
"Do you want to keep eating?"
"Yes. ”
"It's right to think about it, it's a fool if you don't want to, but someone won't allow us to eat so peacefully, as for who it is, I don't need to say more, only by completely defeating them, can we live the life we want, do any of you want to go back to the old life of hunger and cold?"
"I don't want to!" From the sparse at the beginning, the number of people who respond has become more and more, first, Ralph laughs and scolds interestingly, and second, the same repetitive work is very boring, and the response is also refreshing.
"No one thinks, even cattle have the right to be fed, let alone our upright people, here I will not say some to encourage you to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy bravely, if you do that, we are no different from those slave owners, there are naturally those brave people like Lord McGee on the battlefield, but we can't let these warriors go to the battlefield with their chests and breasts open, so we need to rush to work overnight, and finish the rest of the armor as soon as possible, everyone work hard, stay up a few more points, and take turns to sleep for a while when you are sleepy, rest assured, we don't have a leather whip here, don't worry about being woken up in your sleep, we rely on self-consciousness, everyone's eyes are brightThere are a number of people who are diligent and who are lazy, and I don't think any group will like that kind of guy who is lazy and lazy. ”
"That's nature. Although they should respond, most people still muttered in their hearts, the time they have been in this group is too short after all, and what they have shown so far is not bad, but what is in their bones, no one can say, the kind of slave owners who usually treat slaves well, and will kill people when they turn their faces, they have seen many people.
Ralph knew the truth of the people's hearts over time, and did not expect his mouth cannon to win all the support, so he quickly changed the topic, "I found that there are many people who are interested in this song of Faltwer, and they are secretly learning it, which is a good thing, why do you learn it secretly? If you want to learn it openly, I will teach you this song tonight, but before that, I will tell you a story, a story that may belong to your grandfather or your father, I believe that after listening to it, you will have a deeper understanding of this song." ”
Sean never knew that Ralph also had a superb acting talent, and a story that he had made up and had heard bad for a long time had a different flavor in Ralph's mouth.
Under the guidance of his language, a tragic hero who is flesh and blood, dares to love and hate, is extremely responsible, and fights against the enemy and fate for the sake of his family, and the burden and tension are very well created.
Even Sean was attracted, not to mention those who heard the story for the first time, and many people didn't know if it was because they thought of someone who was very important in their lives, and burst into tears.
Many people who were not very emotional about this song also became interested after listening to this story, and soon the loud singing voice enveloped the night sky of the Bastille.
This kind of collective entertainment is very helpful for cohesion, Ralph has grasped the essence of it, he does have the ability to take charge of himself, and unconsciously, the former teenagers have begun to grow up and mature, compared to Sean, who is the slowest growing one.
Led by Sean and his boys, the Bastille's resources are being consolidated at an alarming rate.
In the early morning of the third day of the fall of the Bastille, preliminary statistics were completed.
The boys' corps numbered four hundred and fifty-two, and the number continued to increase, some of whom were late in the news and were on their way, while others were cut off by the Bastille Corps led by Bolton, lurking in the mountains and forests, waiting for an opportunity to come and meet.
There are a total of 1,121 skull crushers, including McGee the Skullcrusher, but only 1,073 people can fight, and the dozens of unlucky people, except for seven, were injured during the night attack on the Bastille, and the rest were injured in the competition for officers.
The benefits are also very obvious, after a chaotic battle, they basically understand the performance of the infantry armor, and the probability of going to the battlefield to save their lives has increased by several percentage points.
There are more than 2,300 engineers attached to the Cadet Army, divided into 10 school guards, after a few days of joint work and repeated brainwashing, they dare not say anything about the Cadet Army, but their sense of identity with the Cadet Army is very high, at least one thing can be guaranteed, before the Cadet Army is completely defeated, they will not easily defect, after all, they have just tasted the joy of being a man.
The freed Bastille mountain slaves and the mountain people that Sean had collected at the beginning, a total of more than 2,000 people, Sean didn't put too much effort into them, these people's minds were too mixed, and they didn't train for a long time, there was no way to bring their hearts together, and they could still provide a little help if they fought with the wind.
As for fighting a tough battle, they basically can't count on it, once the Skull Crusher Legion and the Young Army can't stand it, they only have the life of fleeing, in fact, in the past three days, more than 800 people have been sneaked away one after another, Sean turned a blind eye to this, even if this kind of person stays, it is a scourge, and it is a good thing that he ran away.
