Chapter 867: Battle
Sodrore looked at the rack of weapons in front of him, his eyes thoughtful.
His life was so regular, and after undergoing the kind of "military training" that Roddy proposed, he admired this kind of high-pressure management so much that all of Parr's soldiers, including the regularly trained reserve forces, had received this kind of training in the last six months.
After the reform of the military system of the cabinet, the troops under his command finally had a number and name: the soldiers, including the first batch of 5,000 regular troops, were called the "First Infantry Division", of course, not only the infantry, but also the healing magicians, cooking classes, auxiliary mages, etc.
The total number of cavalry units was not large, so there was no formation of "divisions", only the retained title of "dragoon regiment". In addition to this, there is the existence of the "1st Panzer Division", which includes 85 heavy trucks that are all put into the field - and this number is constantly growing at one every three days.
Although there were not many vehicles, they included more than 2,000 people, including workshop assembly engineers, technicians, truck drivers, maintenance personnel, logistics engineers, and the "engineering company" that was constantly building the second military airfield.
This force is barely visible on the battlefield, as they are now running all day long on the roads of the kingdom.
Counting the small number of air divisions, the three divisions were unified under the name of the "First Army of Evta".
Sodrore stood up, drew a long sword from the weapon rack, and slowly practiced the most basic swordsmanship routines. He loves swords like life, and the rest of the facilities in this tent are similar to those of ordinary soldiers, the only difference may be his row of weapon racks and the sand table next to it.
As the baron of Parl, Sodrore did not live in the manor and enjoy the services of the servants, but spent all day in the barracks like the soldiers - in other words, Parl has now become a completely military town, and most of the inhabitants have been completely out of work and conscripted into the army... Because they found that the salary and treatment of being a soldier completely exceeded their income as a peasant, and even women could apply for short-term jobs such as washing clothes, sewing clothes and shoes, or with little physical exertion, and they would get a lot of wages.
It stands to reason that in the feudal kingdom of Karen, most of the people in a territory are out of production, and there must be an economic crisis and a food crisis. But in reality, Parl, who was supplied with food and gold by Ivta, has now become the first "violent organ" under a "centralized" regime... To put it bluntly, this place should not be called "Par Ling", but should be renamed "Parr Barracks".
In accordance with staffing and security requirements, Sodrol has built five camps within the territory. He sat in the center, and there were different troops in each of the four directions for training all day. The distance between the barracks is more than one kilometer, and at the same time, the discipline is strict, and the training is truly "closed".
Such a barracks has left no chance for the spies who wanted to find out the intelligence in the past to intervene - from February to now, more than 30 heads have been hung at the gate of the camp, and all those who try to sneak into the barracks, regardless of their identity, will be killed.
Under the iron discipline, the young people who originally thought that "barracks life" was just wandering around. Now I can't wait to sneeze and raise my hand in advance to report...
Because most of the training was infantry, Sodrore naturally arranged many actual combat exercises. The enchanted wooden sword used in actual combat training will leave scorched black marks on the armor after blowing, and if there are more than three scorched black on the effective part, it will be judged death - under the strict practice of strict compliance with the regulations, the soldiers have gone from being indiscriminately fighting guerrilla at the beginning, to killing machines with strict formations and military orders.
This is not an easy game, there are serious injuries in every exercise, but the medical support of the magician allows the soldiers to let go of the fight. However, as the war approached, Sodrore no longer practiced this kind of high-intensity practice, but focused on maintaining his condition, and at the same time tried to popularize the experimental "battlefield contact circle" that had just been developed from Elson City.
As soon as the chopping action was completed, the square circle placed next to the marching bed suddenly resounded with a buzz. His figure flashed, he came to the circle, stretched out his hand and pressed a pattern on the circle, and said loudly: "Parr Command, I'm Sodrore, please tell me if you receive it." ”
"Fort Domik, the commander of the 1st Infantry Division, David Ann, reports: The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Regiments have now assembled at 8:40 a.m., and there should be 3,742 men, but the actual number is 3,742, and the report is complete. ”
"Okay, keep on standby. Complete. ”
Sodrore's reply was brief, and when the circle was finished, he checked the hedron scales as instructed in the Manual, then stepped over to the improvised sand table and plucked the four wooden icons representing the infantry regiment from the Parr collar and inserted them at Fort Domik at the other end of the map.
These troops are already the fourth batch to be transferred in the evening.
Under Roddy's orders, all of Parl's military movements were kept secret from the outside world. There are mages inside and outside the barracks who use magic circles to monitor, and it can be said that the nobles of the surrounding territories still don't even know how many soldiers there are here. As for Sodrore secretly transporting troops to the front line in a truck at night, they couldn't even imagine it.
Because many of them still don't even know that the road has been built to Fort Domik, and they are even worried about whether the "conscription order" will send them troops!
Sodrore was thoughtful, although there were more than half of the soldiers in the camp, but because he had started preparing months in advance, even if someone was watching from a distance, he couldn't see anything strange - in the past, four battalions took turns to listen to the speech, and now one battalion has been out four times in a row to listen to the speech, and Sodlore stayed here to confuse those guys who peeked from afar.
After all, in this era, the position of the "commander" largely determines the position of the "main force of the army".
So after he ended the call, he changed into a silver shining armor, rode a white war horse, and led his personal guards to inspect the four camps around him.
At present, most of those who stay in the camp for training are reserve forces, but after such a long period of training, their combat level has already reached the standard of going to the battlefield. But the focus of Sodrore's patrol is not on them, but on the western camp at the edge of the forest.
The soldiers here are very special, not only the human elites selected from each company, but also the strong bear-like barbarian warriors who are more than two meters tall, and the Teflin with the ability to transform and have super combat effectiveness.
They numbered only about 500 people, and they did not belong to the 1st Infantry Division in terms of organization, but had only a simple name: "Special Operations Company".
Obviously, this division currently has only one shelf, but in the future it is clear that it is waiting to be expanded.
The training camp and facilities here are also completely different from those of the others, the most conspicuous being a huge wooden frame built by spells and reaching a height of fifty meters. Standing here like a huge and strange dead tree, overlooking the elite soldiers who have been working hard all day.
The company commander of the "Special Company" was none other than Erwin, a barbarian man who was sent over by Roddy for training. He wasn't just a bodyguard by Roddy's side, who tended to talk to him about the idea of a modern army when he was bored — and when he arrived at Parr, the big man with a new mind started out as a squad leader, and the company commander was Sodrore himself. And now that Sodrol can rest assured that he will be the leader of this special company, he is naturally relieved of his ability.
Seeing Sodrore coming to inspect, Erwin blew the assembly whistle and quickly ran over to salute and report.
These are all formulaic routines, and Sodrore's tone is much more casual after returning the salute: "Have you been injured these days?"
"Report to the Commander! It's much better than three months ago, and only three people have been slightly injured in the last week!"
Three months ago, more than half of the team was injured when they first trained, and some even almost died, but with the increase in practice and adaptation, this special force has obviously reached the standard of "excellent military quality".
"When is no one hurt and you're telling me good news, it's about to go to war. ”
"Commander, are you going to fight?"
This is a private occasion, and the two of them are comrades-in-arms who have fought side by side, so they speak casually. Sodrore looked at him with an eager look on his face and smiled, "I don't know. Maybe tomorrow, maybe next year, you take someone to stand by, don't spread unnecessary news!"
"Yes, yes, I'm tight-mouthed now. ”
Erwin no longer holds his iconic tomahawk. His current equipment is not the same as that of the "heavy infantry", and he looks like a lightly armed scout. There were all sorts of bulging things hanging from his belt, thighs, and boots, but even Sodrore's guards didn't know what they were for.
The mysterious atmosphere of this army is very strong, and guards must be arranged around the camp during training on weekdays, and it is not even possible to look closely. Among all the troops, although Sodrore has to patrol all the camps every day, the most important thing is the current "special company".
"Don't be too intense these days, pay attention to adjust your mentality. ”
Although Sodrore didn't say it explicitly, Erwin's mind was not stupid, and when he heard this, he immediately straightened up: "Yes! Commander!"
Sodrol was currently the commander-in-chief of the First Legion, hence the call "Commander".
The concept of superiority and superiority in the army has been instilled in place, and Erwin used to be lazy and unusually lazy when he is not fighting, but now even if Sodrore's team leaves, he still maintains the standard of training when he walks in this camp. From commanders to the lowest-ranking privates, the soldiers of Parr have obviously thrown off the concept of "army" in this world and become a real "war machine".
