Chapter 1281: The Fourth Legion that has just taken shape
Came to the outside of the kingdom of God through the portal, in the snowy mountains where the blizzard had stopped, Lu Xi, the fat snow leopard, and the five golden puppets spent nearly half an hour at the market price to dig out the body of the steel dragon that had been covered by snow from the thick snow, and then randomly collected it into the firmament in the palm of his hand. You must know that at this time, several tons of sacred alloy materials have been placed inside. At this point, even the super-large space bag that can fill a battleship is a little stretched. Lu Xi looked at the five majestic and colorful platforms behind him, just by virtue of materials and appearance, he could entrust the Federation's highest-grade war puppets into dicks and antiques of the mythical era, and felt that there was no need to take them back.
After all, this is a kind of thing that will never be timidly when placed in the main hall of Yongchen Palace as an ornament, and the appearance is leveraged, and it can be beaten and used as a coolie, and it is placed behind him to line up as a horse boy, but it is much more stylish than the brother and noble muscular man who brings a few black suits and sunglasses.
So, Lu Xi took the fat snow leopard and the five majestic and gorgeous war puppets to pass through the portal of the temple again, and this time they appeared directly at the foot of Hegalos Mountain.
Then, instead of towering mountains, thick snow, and a deep purple sky that was almost approaching night, he was no longer greeted by the majestic mountains. He stood on a gentle slope at the foot of the mountain, and as far as the eye could see, there was a lake. The area of the lake is so large that it is almost at the horizon that you can see the outline of the opposite shore in front of you. Boiling steam rises from the lake, bringing the entire surface of the lake into a cloud of steam and mist, like a fairyland under the morning sun and blue sky.
…… Isn't this a steam lake? Did we go straight back to our destination? Lu Xi originally thought that it would take him several days to get out of the mountain, but now he was a little blinded, and he couldn't help but look at the fat snow leopard next to him. The other party shook his fat head at Lu Xi, and he also looked completely unaware of the situation.
"Little master, someone is coming over there." Perhaps thinking that it would be a little embarrassing not to say something at this time, the fat snow leopard's ears moved slightly, and he reminded.
Yes, not just people, but a considerable number of people. It was approaching at the speed of running, and the sound of stepping on the ground was endless, although not to the point of uniformity, but it did not seem particularly chaotic. Their number should be around 1,000 people, and the queue is still quite neat, already with a minimum of training and discipline.
Army! Although Lu Xi hadn't seen anyone yet, he made such a judgment through the sound of their footsteps. Of course, if it was in his hometown, he could guess whether it was a college student in military training or a sports group in exercise; But in this Middle Ages, it was indeed only the military that could have this sense of discipline when acting.
Near Steam Lagoon...... The army, uh, should not be able to be the enemy's.
Lu Xi then made such a judgment, so he reached out and patted the fat snow leopard, which was obviously a little nervous, walked a few steps down the gentle slope, and then stepped on a rock with a good view. His hand pressed to his waist, and he looked in the direction of the team.
Soon, the team passed through the mist by the lake and appeared in front of Lu Xi along the stone road that surrounded the steam lake.
"Your Excellency?" The person at the front of the queue was slightly stunned, and a surprised smile flashed on his face. Immediately, he immediately changed his solemn expression, broke away from the queue and stood upright, and then put his hand on his chest and slammed it hard, and performed a solemn and impeccable military salute.
Well, not only are they not enemies, but they are acquaintances.
The man who led the jogging of more than 1,000 people was a handsome uncle who looked about fifty years old, typical of the aristocratic appearance of Hiroloel, with a pair of gray-blue eyes and white blonde hair, and his sculpted facial features were full of vicissitudes and mature charm. He wore only an ordinary single coat and breeches, and although it was late winter, he didn't seem to care about the cold at all, and his body was still as energetic as any young man, and even more robust and strong. Such a heroic Uncle Mei, isn't he the head of the Sky Rose Legion appointed by Lu Xi, who used to be the double-flowered red stick of the Implied Legion, but after the organization was whitewashed, it was a little sign of withdrawing from the historical stage, so he was given to Lu Xi by the wind to enrich the retainer group, and at present, Lu Xi's subordinates are experienced and experienced in a hundred battles, and at the same time, in theory, he is also the most capable one, should be born in Auckland and graduated from the Saint Laurent Military Academy, Valerius? Sanskrit? Major Egripa?
With so many descriptions, I ask you if you are dizzy?
As for the team that was jogging with him, if you look closely, aren't most of them soldiers from the Legion Cavalry Wing?
"Your Excellency Commander is here to make an inspection! Cheer me up! The old knight, who was actually close to sixty years old, had just finished his salute and let out a loud snort. Since he arrived at the post where he should be, the last trace of mercenary-like cunning and philistine has disappeared, and his aura has soared to eight miles away.
Uh, am I going to call him "Master Chief" in the future? The current military rank is obviously major. And I've always thought that the Devil Sergeant, a promising profession at the first hearing, will definitely be handed over to the stupid cow of Bull in the future.
According to the traditional setting, the prestige of the Devil Sergeant Major among ordinary soldiers often surpasses that of the commander. So, I saw that in the long queue behind him, the group of soldiers who seemed to have run exhausted, were shocked by such a sudden shout from the old knight, and they all involuntarily trembled. Then, they saw Lu Xi standing on top of the rock, surprised and hesitant as he wandered through the queue, but it definitely didn't last more than five seconds. Then, one by one, they all straightened their backs, their faces radiant, and their awe overflowing with words.
At this time, Lu Xi, after all, had just come out of the temple, and he was still fully armed. I saw him standing on a rock, his robe moving in the wind, revealing the armor on his chest and his sword hanging from his waist. The morning sun poured from behind him, spilling brilliant gold edges on his shoulders and neck, domineering and looking condescendingly at the group of people jogging along the path. At this moment, he was not only a king, but also a god who really wanted to be able to control their life and death and fate.
The runners saluted Lu Xi one after another, but they did not stop walking and saluting. In training, warfare, and mission, the salute can of course be omitted; And in the absence of the order of the superior, in the march (whether it is a real march or a simple circle), no one is allowed to break away from the ranks and stop the advance without the order of the superior; These were one of the first military discipline regulations implemented by Lu Xi in the Fourth Army Corps.
Obviously, among the cavalry units with the highest degree of professionalism in the corps, this regulation was clearly implemented. Well, of course, it may also be because the cavalry wing is also the first unit to be killed by Lu Xi, and it is still in the period of being deterred, with fear +9, command execution +1, and obedience +1 in this type of buff.
Lu Xi winked at Mr. Valerius. As the "chief retainer" under the command of the new lord of Colorful Rose Island, although he has not joined for a long time, he understands in an instant at this time, so he broke away from the team and trotted over. As for the soldiers, after the commander left, they continued to move on.
…… Well, looking at it like this, it's really good to be trained. It's really easy to have a good assistant. Lu Xi began to wonder if he was going to give the other party a little bonus.
"You're back." Valerius came to Lu Xi's side in three steps and two steps, saluted him, looked at his expression seriously, and then nodded slightly: "Looking at your appearance, everything should be going very well, right?" ”
Lu Xi's chief retainer is worthy of being born in the Auckland aristocracy, has the ability, knowledge, level and vision, so he didn't ask Lu Xi what he was going to do.
"It's natural." Lu Xi looked back at the hillside behind him. Lao Pa and the five humanoid puppets with a height of more than three meters walked down like this.
Fat Snow Leopard aside, Wutai knew that he would be a humanoid puppet that could fight especially just by looking at his appearance, which once again caused an uproar in the team.
"Looks like you've gained a lot!" Valerius was not a spellcaster, but he had served the master and apprentice generations of one of the most powerful spellcasters in the world for nearly forty years, and at least knew how to judge the combat effectiveness of such a constructed puppet by its appearance. At this moment, even the well-informed him did not hide his surprised and even amazed expression.
He's like that, let alone an ordinary soldier.
"Don't stop! Keep moving! The officers in the group shouted loudly, kicking and even whipping the stunned soldiers. The shouting and pain soon reminded the soldiers of the fear of being dominated by the officers, and this fear restored discipline to the ranks.
"They were even better than I could have imagined." Lu Xidao. In an era when there were no commissars, it would be enough to be able to do this.
"This is just the beginning. I won't talk about the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers, such fighting spirit, such spirit, and such discipline, compared with the knights of the Auckland Forbidden Army, there is still a considerable gap! Valerius said.
"I don't have any such expectations." Lu Xi looked at the old knight with a serious face and smiled dumbly.
"Since you're ready to start, you need a goal. So why not aim higher. The old knight smiled and said, "My lord, this legion should be your most important political capital in the loose country of the Federation, so I have the obligation to strengthen their combat effectiveness as much as possible." ”
“…… Oh, you're not afraid to cheapen my enemies. ”
"The enemies on the battlefield are clear at a glance, but those who can sit with you and drink and talk, I can't help you." The former knight of Saint Laurent shook his head helplessly, looking like "I am the most annoying thing about orthodox military politics or something, I don't know anything", however, he pondered for a while, and said: "Miss Storm has said that I don't need to give any opinion in this regard, as long as I fully trust your judgment!" As long as...... Uh......"
"Just what? Doesn't sound like a good word, does it? ”
"Just when you're almost victorious and you're starting to get carried away, try to calm you down, and never lose your alertness and caution. It would be embarrassing to be taken advantage of by the enemy at the last minute every time. ”
"Yes, it's true that it's my character weakness to get carried away easily, and it's nice to have a virtuous assistant like Hurricane. Even if she just said that, I was already starting to feel embarrassed. Lu Xi felt that his back molars were starting to twitch, so he simply changed the topic and pointed to the bottom of the mountain: "So, this is physical training, right?" ”
"Yes, you're right. Running in circles can not only exercise physical fitness, but also hone their obedience, discipline, queue, and even trust in the comrades around them. It's almost one of the most cost-effective ways to train! Cavalry may not need to walk when fighting, but such training must not be missed. He laughed, "Now, the Cavalry Wing, as well as the 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments, make a lap around the steam lake every morning. The rest of the infantry regiments were half circles. ”
The cavalry were all semi-professional soldiers, and the 1st and 2nd thousand-man infantry regiments were selected by Colonel Grimmar to be the strongest men. He is an old-school soldier, and he has always felt that even if a miracle creator like Lu Xi, a natural general, is unable to completely train a group of landless farmers and bankrupt citizens into a strong army. In this way, it is necessary to use the devil to train a group of elites who can fight as soon as possible. In this way, even if it is the most unfortunate, it can often lead to pig burst tactics.
Speaking of which, at the end of the dynasty of a certain "Son of Heaven guarding the gate of the country and the king of the dead society" in Lu Xi's hometown, the generals of his border army seemed to have only the tactic of "rushing with elite families". It's not because the generals are stupid (although the literacy rate is too low, and the stupidity rate is certainly high), but because they really don't have any other choice.
The enemy is in the cabinet, the enemy is in Capitol Hill, tsk, it has been like this since ancient times!
“…… However, if you go around the lake, it will be more than 60 kilometers, and ordinary people will run to death. Lu Xi looked at the panting soldiers and made sure that they were indeed much healthier, but most of them were not beyond the scope of ordinary people. Five marathons a day should still be too reluctant.
The old knight, of course, would not make such a low-level mistake, so he explained: "Of course it is not a complete lap. As you know, the steam lagoon is actually an irregular gourd-shaped, with several rather narrow passes, and bridges built by the dwarves. So, we just had to turn back through the second pass bridge in front of us, and we just went around the smallest gourd on the lake. I've calculated, it's about 10 kilometers or so, and it doesn't exceed the upper limit of ordinary people! ”
"Oh, that's fine......" Lu Xi nodded, thinking that tens of thousands of people run laps around the world's largest plateau deep-water lake every day, and that scene is still quite spectacular. Of course, the peasants and urban craftsmen who were temporarily conscripted would not have been able to withstand such physical training if they had not provided all the soldiers with adequate nutrition every day.
This is probably the difference between the full-time professional army and the general quality of the conscripted army. In other words, some people actually think that the ancient army will be more stupid than the modern army? Productivity is everything, you don't understand such a simple truth?
In short, thanks to the right-hand men including Valerius, the overall combat power of the Sky Rose of the Fourth Legion has been moving forward. Lu Xi said that he was very satisfied!
"So, you've finally returned safely, do you want to go back to camp and rest now? I'll have the orderlies prepare breakfast for you quickly. ”
"No need. You've said it, Your Excellency the Commander is here to make the round! Then, of course, I will have to make the tour to the end. Lu Xi also did a stretching exercise, stretched his waist, and then directly took off his robe and armor, and also revealed a single coat that was very suitable for running.
The first step in the militarization of the military is to instill in the soldiers that the commander is their own person, their best friend, brother, father, leader, and even the object of their faith. So, there are some things, no matter how much you put on a show, no matter how you do it, you still have to do it yourself! Didn't you see that when I ran to the first row of the queue, which was equivalent to leading the team forward, the soldiers all cheered?
“…… But, little master, what should I do? Do you also run ten kilometers? The fat snow leopard felt that he could not do such a thing anyway, and lay on the hillside to cry without tears.
