"Is this the Fingreen barracks? Sure enough, as someone said, one side of the plain is surrounded by mountains on three sides...... "Looking at the military camp that seemed to be embedded in the mountains, Xiao Yueluo sat on horseback and suddenly sighed.

"Well, even though it's my first time in this place, it should be right on the map, besides...... In addition, the direction Andrew pointed to before is indeed here, so it is impossible to get it wrong. ”

Andrew, of course, refers to the chief of the gate guard of Naturs City, but Xiao Yueluo didn't expect that Adrian had already figured out the name of that person, obviously yesterday...... Well, she had to admit that the dissatisfaction was all directed at her, but now it was too late for her to regret it.

"Should you have chosen to come on horseback in the first place?"

Xiao Yueluo helped her forehead, thinking of the bet she made that day, she couldn't help but have the urge to stuff herself back into her mother's womb and finish it, and she really had a brain pump at that time before she agreed to that guy.

"General, it's almost time to book now, if you don't go in again......"

Adrian reminded with a smile, and Xiao Yueluo was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then slapped her forehead and said, "If you don't say it, I'm almost forgotten, let's go in first." ”

After saying that, he rode directly on his horse and galloped in the direction where the barracks were located......

Life in the barracks wasn't as boring as expected, at least not so boring for Xiao Yueluo. Since the recruits this time come from different places, they are naturally different in concept, and coupled with the original identity gap, a small group is naturally formed. Although these small groups have caused some friction and small messes from time to time, they are generally harmless.

Maybe others will have a headache about this phenomenon, but Xiao Yueluo is different, it is better to say that this result just goes her way. In fact, when she first arrived at the barracks, Xiao Yueluo was boycotted by most of the recruits, but after the dozen or so people led by her walked through one by one, a group of people became a lot more honest for a while, although there were still some small frictions in private, but they ......were unusually "well-behaved" when they were in front of her?

In addition, in order to reward them, Xiao Yueluo also let these people fight in groups from time to time, and the winning party can get one-third of the opponent's food expenses. Well, a third less means that there will be no meat for the next period of time, which is a difficult thing to accept for these soldiers who exercise a lot every day.

But what if it's hard to accept? Revolt? Don't think about it, the dozen or so before have been lying in bed for days. As for a thousand soldiers who rebelled together? Hehe, if you don't want to hang your head on the city gate the next day, you can try it. So if you don't want to be beaten, you can only participate honestly and do your best to win.

Perhaps thinking that this method would create a gap between the soldiers, Adrian also tactfully expressed his doubts to Xiao Yueluo.

"What do you think will happen to these soldiers when they go into battle in the way they first looked?"

"How's that...... There is no order at all, and if you go to the battlefield, you will not be able to form any combat effectiveness at all. ”

Adrian was only silent for a moment before saying this directly, and Xiao Yueluo also smiled after hearing it: "You also said it yourself, forming gangs and factions, there is no order, and it can't form combat effectiveness, since this is the case, what are you worried about?" At least it can't be worse, can it? ”

"That being said, but ......"

As a more traditional soldier, to be honest, Adrian was the first time he had seen this kind of training, only a little bit of teaching combat skills, not even systematic training, if it wasn't for Xiao Yueluo telling him that Black Rose was also trained like this in the beginning, he would probably think that someone was just doing it to take revenge on these soldiers.

But even so, Adrian was a little anxious in his heart, knowing that their time was running out, and he would have to wonder if this recruit could support the eastern defense line if it continued like this.

"Don't worry, it's because I think about this that I will force them to fight each other, you must know that only fighting can quickly improve a person's combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time, and they can also find the most suitable way to fight in the battle, coupled with the invisible improvement of the cooperation between the team members, it can be said that it kills three birds with one stone."

With a smile on the corner of her mouth, Xiao Yueluo listed the purpose of doing so to Adrian: "Oh, by the way, I don't know if you have ever heard of the saying: the one who knows you best is always your enemy." ”

"It's always your enemy who knows best......," Adrian frowned rarely, repeating the phrase in a low voice, before he tentatively asked, "What do you mean by ...... General?"

"What do you mean, you should have something in mind yourself? Also, I think you should have noticed the changes in the recruits in the barracks during this time, right? ”

"Noticed." Adrian nodded, these soldiers are indeed very different from the beginning, at least they are no longer as contradictory as before when they get along, and there are even many soldiers who were originally very contradictory and can still talk and laugh shoulder to shoulder, as for those he is worried about, there is no sign of appearing at all, is this the result that the person in front of him wants?

"What do you think, it's just a side result, and that's not what I'm really trying to do." Xiao Yueluo shook her head with a smile, after nearly two months of getting along, it was the first time she had seen such an expression on Adrian's face, and those thoughts were clearly written on her face.

"My real purpose...... In fact, it is still to improve their overall tacit understanding, not between members of the same group, but between these groups and groups, so that they can survive as many people as possible in future battles. ”

"General......

Adrian looked at the person in front of him with some emotion, although as far as he knew, those generals did have the idea of wanting to reduce casualties, but no one was as simple as Xiao Yueluo thought......

"Well, I didn't do anything in the first place, just a little bit of a reminder." Xiao Yueluo was a little helpless, to be honest, she really didn't feel comfortable with the expression of a big man, but even though she didn't adapt to Xiao Yueluo, she didn't show the slightest impatience and disdain.

"No, maybe it's just a little bit in your eyes, General, but it's the best care for these soldiers." Adrian's face was full of seriousness, and this sentence could be said to be the truest thought in his heart at the moment.

"While other generals of the Empire will also try to minimize casualties in battle, let's be honest...... Their purpose is only to obtain greater merit and glory. Adrian said very calmly, but Xiao Yueluo could clearly feel the barely suppressed hatred of the person in front of her, but she didn't interrupt silently, just stood there quietly and listened to the "vent" in her ears.

"Destroying the enemy and losing battle, exchanging the smallest sacrifice for the greatest result, such high-sounding words are sure that you have heard of the generals, right? What do you say about sacrificing for the sake of righteousness and for Your Majesty, but in the end, it will be those people who will benefit? I'm just a very selfish ordinary person, and I don't have much to say if I died to protect someone I care about, but ......"

"I had a chance to live, but I was forced to die because of a stupid order...... They completed the mission, but after the mission, how many of them could be remembered except for their respective families? The aristocrats? Don't laugh, I'm thankful that those people didn't persecute their families after that. ”

By the end of the sentence, Adrian's voice was already very excited, and if you felt it carefully, you could even detect a trace of choking in it.

In fact, even Adrian himself didn't know why he wanted to tell Xiao Yueluo these words, obviously the person in front of him was also a nobleman, but ...... He had never been able to develop the slightest hostility towards this man, especially after witnessing all the things she had done during this time......

"Adrian, I ask you, if you hate those nobles, why do you want to stay with Your Highness? With your ability, you should be able to live well no matter what you do. ”

"Why ......"

Xiao Yueluo's words made Adrian slightly stunned, obviously he had never considered this question: yes, why? Obviously, His Royal Highness the Second Prince is also a nobleman, and he is also one of the most honorable people except for His Majesty Olnis.

"Because what you subconsciously hate is not the aristocracy, but their attitude of being high up and treating human life as a mustard." Seeing the doubts on Adrian's face, Xiao Yueluo told the truth without the slightest hesitation.

In fact, she also discussed the issue of soldier casualties with Rita, and Rita even considered erecting a heroic monument in the center of Elivier to commemorate the dead soldiers, but it was finally shelved for various reasons.

Of course, the reason for the shelving was not because there was opposition, although such an idea was contrary to traditional thinking, but after experiencing Rita's intentional or unintentional mental bombardment, the nobles of the Duchy of Evel had long been accustomed to it. Coupled with the benefits brought by the establishment of the Valhalla Monument, those nobles who have already lived into human beings may be able to carry it better than anyone else.

As for the reason why it was not built in the end, it is mainly due to the material, after all, it is impossible to build the Immortal Monument with ordinary stone, although the right material is available, but it is very difficult to find the right size to build the Immortal Monument, of course, there is naturally no lack of reasons why the territory of the Principality of Evel itself is too small.

Although someone has also suggested to Rita to use ordinary stone instead, but as the proposer, how can she be sloppy in this kind of thing, not to mention how long ordinary stone can exist, the value alone cannot be equal to the identity of the Heroic Monument, after all, it is too easy to come and how many people can really pay attention to it? So even if the existence of the Valhalla Monument was just a symbolic meaning, Rita was not willing to chill the hearts of those soldiers at this point......
