Chapter 40: Lorraine's Legion

A new barracks was built outside the town of Milan, filled with grain and grass collected from the surrounding villages, thanks to the expropriation team organized by the uncle. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Due to the continuous drought and war, the agricultural products were not harvested and could not be sold, and the surrounding farmers could not get any money at all, but the food was only enough for them to eat and drink.

The expropriation team casually found a reason to collect the grain, but it was impossible to take care of the peasants' way out, so every time they sent a collection team of about 100 people, the scale would often increase tenfold when they returned.

In the era when there was no way to live, the peasants were still very good at feeding, as long as you gave food (although the food was snatched from the other party's house), they were not particular about what they ate, whether it was corn, wild vegetables, potatoes and sweet potatoes, there was really nothing to eat, and you could feed them magic food, just cook a pot (although if you eat too much, it will get hot).

In this way, even if these cannon fodder soldiers who do not need much salary are recruited, soldiers of other professions are not so simple.

The hand-to-hand combat unit is mainly composed of melee combat among the adventurers, and as a squad operation, their strength can still be seen, but on a large-scale battlefield, their individual abilities are unlimitedly reduced, and as a result, they have been defeated by the garrison of the Near East Army more than 30 times in a row, and their noses and faces are swollen, and they have finally made some progress.

The main force of the musket unit is more than 300 troops stationed in the Near East Army, although the number is a little smaller, it is still better than the unreliable adventurers and hunters, in order to improve his skills, the average amount of ammunition used in the practice of each person has reached 300 rounds, and even the musket has to spend money to buy new ones from arms dealers, even if it is such a high-intensity training, it can only barely reach the level of hiding behind cover and shooting, and the duel of guns will collapse in 100 percent of the three rounds.

Due to the continuous injuries on the way, and the fact that there are not enough medical personnel here, Lorraine had to organize a medical unit in advance and also take on the duties of the commander of the medical unit.

It's just that the technical level of the subordinates is really low, and they can't even use the healing magic tricks well, and they always leave some superfluous things in the bodies of the wounded, and many times they can't stop the bleeding, so they have to call Lorraine to help, and for a while, the location of the medical team is like a slaughterhouse, and everyone is afraid of the recruits, and they would rather die in battle than go to the medical team.

As for the mages, it's a pity that there are only four low-level mages here, and under the strong pressure of Irene, they joined the legion with a sad face, and even Lorraine can't stand the level - a mage who can't rub fireballs well, what else can you say?

"What a rabble, Lorraine, there aren't many officers available here."

"I know, uncle, look at them are either idiots or cowards, they will make money, the soldiers are all helping Xinding, and they can't even walk in unison until now, and that group of goddamn medical teams, are they all perverted killers!?"

Standing at his headquarters, Lorraine, who had just finished patrolling the barracks, complained to his troops, while the uncle shrugged.

"Speaking of which, I want Sam and Tevin to lead the hand-to-hand combat troops, I really hope they don't get mad at you."

"Why are you angry with me! I have never trained in the army, and I have never studied in a military academy for even a day, by the way, uncle, you should have worked in the army before, why don't you understand military training? Lorraine said with a slight dissatisfaction.

"Well, when I was in service, I was always a big soldier, and the maximum number of commanders was only ten, and I commanded the Marine Corps on the Royal Princess, relying on Kalinin."

The two looked at each other and could only sigh helplessly.

Since the town of Milan is located in the middle of the Corsalan Peninsula, its only advantage is that it can quickly connect the northern and southern regions, so for the sake of convenience, Lorraine has let the little goblins build a camp relatively rudimentary.

The perimeter was barely set up with a trench, and with the earth elemental tree, there was a low earthen wall that adults could climb over if they had to run, and there were almost no wooden buildings in the barracks, because Lorraine felt that it was too troublesome to cut down trees, and the dwellings of soldiers and officers were all made of earth elements, which were very ugly and not very ventilated.

Living in such an environment, it is better to set up a tent on the flat ground, but there are too many poisonous mosquitoes, making the whole camp loud all day and night.

The headquarters is the only building that has been built with care, and although it is also made of earth elements, it looks tender anyway, and it is more comfortable to live in it (the water element is put in it to cool down).

On the first floor of the headquarters, except for the staircase and the gatehouse, the conference room was made with the most care, with rough combat maps hanging on the walls, a sturdy round stone table in the center, and a few stools scattered around, and Lorraine and Uncle sat on one side of the round table, patiently waiting for the arrival of the officers.

In fact, this round table is rarely used in the conference rooms of the army, and it is common to have an oval table, with the military chief sitting at the top of the table, and the officers on both sides, sitting in order of rank.

Lorraine doesn't have so many rules, sitting at a round table that symbolizes justice and equality, it will make him more accustomed to it, in the final analysis, he still has no confidence, he knows that he doesn't know how to fight, although the reliable companions around him are not as good as him.

That's right, this guy does know magic, and there is a cheating artifact like the Son of Heaven, not to mention that Goldfinger can also provide all kinds of unreliable attribute bonuses and mysterious items, but how useful is this?

Most of the spells learned are life classes, and occasionally a few high-level spells are still weak in lethality, and the schools in later generations have no intention of teaching apprentices how to fight, there are professional soldiers, and civilian mages are still needed to learn what combat skills, and they can't make money.

In this era, only an archmage like Ireen is urgently needed by all countries, and she can easily suppress a third of the legion of mage troops alone, and it would be very good to be able to have half of her ability if she was replaced by Lorraine.

Lorraine and Uncle bragged and chatted for a long time, and finally people began to come in one after another, and now Lorraine manages so many people who run back to the troops, and there are only a few people in charge of things, although everyone is not very reliable, but now this situation can only be admitted.

The first to come in was Irene, the commander of the mage unit, who practiced for a long time with four little rookies, and finally beat the unlucky guys to the point of urine, and went directly to the medical team to report, so he came to the meeting with a relaxed face, aren't you really here to vent?

After that, Sam and Thai, who changed into black uniforms. The two good friends of the adventure party were again made official positions by Lorraine, with Thaiwen in charge of all the hand-to-hand combat troops, and Sam training the musketeers.

It was not easy to be able to command the army again, which made the two soldiers who were a little depressed very excited, and they couldn't care about the despair of the poor quality of the soldiers, and they were training the troops harshly every year.

And then?

Just these people, the commander of the Lorraine Legion is the five of them so far, and it is simply desperate.

The structure of the whole corps is very simple, every ten people are a squad, ten squads form a squadron, ten squadrons are a brigade, the brigade is usually composed of combat soldiers and auxiliaries together, Thaiwen as the commander, commanding three infantry brigades, a reconnaissance brigade, and an engineer brigade for reserve and engineering roles is left to the uncle's command.

In addition, a fireball brigade was barely formed, commanded by Sam, but his subordinate officers were a little unruly, the Near Eastern Army did not obey the adventurers, the adventurers bullied the serf soldiers, and the serf soldiers united to beat the above two, which was really chaotic.

Well, this is how Lorraine's motley legion is structured," I declare - the first operational meeting of the Seventh Legion begins! ”
