In the direction that Guy pointed, I Andrew cut into the nearest phalanx, and there were quite a few yellow-haired (ten-men with yellow feathers on their heads like us), but the soldiers who had nothing above their heads became a rare species.

"Hey, Andrew." I whispered to him, "Have we been deceived by that Anthony guy, I don't think there are ten captains here and there!" ”

"Alas, Luga, you don't understand!" Andrew waved his hand at me and said, "We, although there are many people, but the treatment is there, the team composed of ten captains has high combat effectiveness, which is enough to show that His Excellency Anthony attaches great importance to us!" "He's the only one who says it vividly, and God knows if that's the truth, or if Andrew is simply reassuring himself with the lie.

I was still thinking about whether there was any part of the lecture, but to my disappointment, as the chief centurion, he didn't say anything in front of us now, stretched out his hand and waved his hand to his left, and said: "You are almost all veterans of wars, and it is difficult to impress you if you say anything to boost morale, so I won't say much, let's go, see if you can walk neatly!" ”

Soon, a trumpeter with a horn ran out of each phalanx, and they stood beside the centurion.

"Phalanx, turn right!"

Everyone turned to the right, and then the trumpeter blew the rhythmic trumpet, which was the soldier's footsteps, and the soldiers in the first row took a step, and then everyone followed closely to the beat of the trumpets, step by step, and each soldier kept a certain distance, because everyone was holding a shield and a spear, and Andrew and I had nothing but an iron sword pinned to our waists. Maintaining a consistent pace, a skill that I was able to master when I was a kid in military training, is like riding a bicycle for me now, and once I learn it, I will never forget it.

"Keep the current pace and remember this beat in your heart, not only here, but even on the battlefield, your comrades around you have fallen from arrows, you have to move forward according to this rhythm! Did you hear that! ”

"Phew!"

I was stunned when I stood in the crowd, it was really a training method that I was not familiar with, but I still followed the pace of the trumpet, and with everyone around me, I went around the small venue in circles. This step is much easier than the military training, because the military training is for the sake of beauty, so it is deliberately required to be almost a straight line, and there are not so many requirements here, but you need to walk neatly.

There weren't so many rules, so it was a lot easier for me. As I walked, the fear of criticism in my heart gradually disappeared without a trace, and I could even hum a little song if I could.

"Phalanx ready! Attack the Tortoiseshell Formation! ”

"Phew!"

With a cold order, everyone stopped, and I didn't react when I hit the person in front of me with a bang.

"Damn it! Are you untrained? Then he heard the man in front of him curse secretly.

I quickly rubbed my red and swollen nose twice, and stood in the middle of the phalanx, only to see everyone gathered together, the soldiers in the first row, together with their centurions, raised their shields forward, and the soldiers behind raised their shields above their heads in turn, forming a huge shield array. I'm confused now, because I don't have a shield, and so is Andrew, and it's hard to imagine a huge whole with the two of us alone in the face, so that the chief centurion in front of the shield can see it at a glance.

"Hey, Lucas! Find two shields for the two newcomers in your phalanx, such training, it's not like a shield without a shield! ”

The centurion at the front stood up and walked out of the phalanx, and glanced back at the two of us, and his eyes were extremely resentful, as if he was reproaching us for not having rules, and glared at us quickly, and now I felt that everyone around me was looking at us with this look. This large phalanx of hundreds of people, all of them stopped in their positions, waiting for the centurion to trot all the way to the armory and take out the two shields, and then trotted all the way back, and handed the shields into the hands of me and Andrew with great difficulty from the distance of the two shields.

"This shield will belong to the two of you in the future, I don't want the two of you to have the habit of throwing things away, it's fatal on the battlefield." The chief centurion reminded, and immediately issued a new order.

"Now! Advance! ”

"Click, click, click,"

Step by step, the soldiers took steps and the entire phalanx was slowly moving forward, because it was necessary to maintain the integrity of the formation, and every step was taken with extra care, for fear that the entire phalanx would have loopholes due to a momentary negligence, everyone around me was gritting their teeth and insisting silently, and this was it, and the chief centurion who supervised in front of us was still not satisfied. He picked up the stones from the ground and threw them at us.

"Ahh

The stone pierced through the gap between the shields and slammed into a hapless man next to me who was half a beat slower. The unlucky ghost screamed, then covered his nose, and from between his fingers, dark red blood oozed out.

"What are you doing here? Keep up with the queue and don't mess up the formation! ”

Chief Centurion Guy roared loudly, and as he spoke, he picked up another stone from under his feet, weighed it back and forth, and looked at us with a fierce expression, "Get up! You should be glad that this is just a stone, and that throwing it with your hands will not do you much harm, if this is an enemy's bow and arrow? Then it will go straight through your face, and it will not kill you, but it will be enough to make you feel painful! Think about it, if you fall, your comrades around you will be more or less unlucky! So here, cheer me up! Push forward! Right! Push forward! ”

Our huge tortoiseshell formation, under the command of the chief centurion, once again took a step forward and slowly moved forward.

"Bang!"

This time there was no hint at all, Guy shot directly, this time it was me, because I had never been trained to be unfamiliar with this kind of tortoiseshell formation, it was obvious to all, this time because I couldn't keep up with the advancing team, always either a little forward, or a little back. This impatient chief centurion naturally won't let me go, the moment the stone flew, I subconsciously lowered my head, and the stone smashed on my helmet, and then landed, which has to be said to help me avoid the miserable situation of nosebleeds.

"Ha, you're in luck!" When Guy saw me holding my helmet against his stone, he immediately picked up a bigger one from the ground, played with it in his hand, looked at me with a smug face, and said, "This time, I'll see how you dodge!" ”
