The entire western border defense line of the empire, with the Buluo fortress as the core, stretches for thousands of miles from north to south, and there are nearly 100 large and small fortress passes on the way, and the landform is complex and changeable, with mountains, hills, plains, rivers and even deserts, which is almost an encyclopedia of the landforms of the entire continent.

The reason why the fortress is important is that after the fortress to the east, it is a vast plain with an unobstructed view, as long as the fortress is broken, the cavalry can reach the imperial capital in two days, and there is no danger to defend in the middle. Therefore, breaking the fortress can almost declare the destruction of the empire, and since the fortress was built for more than 300 years, whether it is the enemy before unification or the civil war after the division, the fortress has been firmly controlled by the Heilan family, and the defender is either the Heilan family itself or the trusted feudal ministers. At this time, the defender of the fortress was the contemporary god of war, known as the best commander of the empire after Bonaparte, the third prince of Calles.

More than 700 miles north of the fortress, a castle of Crane, whose name most of the Imperial people could not name, was now bursting with wails.

It has been two months since the cadets arrived here, and the recruits have long since put away the excitement and curiosity of coming here, and when everyone thought that marching with weight was already the most tiring training, they realized that they were really extremely young. Paul was like a devil when he regained his faith, he didn't even give a day of rest, he had to get up before dawn in the morning, and he could lie in bed in the first half of the month, and after these two months of running with weights, obstacle courses, platoon training, and all kinds of other physical endurance and discipline training, this group of children finally had a little military consciousness.

Kara also had no strength to jump up and down, and she didn't bother to take off her clothes, so she lay straight on her bed. He muttered and moaned. Quirrell next door was no better than having the strength to undress. Lying on the bed and stretching, he let out a long breath: "It's finally alive, and the fuck is going to die." ”

The other soldiers in the tent nodded in agreement, and there were fourteen people living in this tent, who were the same people who had come out of the village of Haidiya at that time.

"I said, Captain, today is a day for us to keep the queue running twenty miles around the mountain with full armor on our backs, and what else can that bastard Paul do to fix us tomorrow?"

Paul because in addition to Mark and more than ten pro-soldiers, all of them were recruits, and he simply did not establish strict and detailed hierarchies and officers, but just let Mark continue to be responsible for all kinds of trivial matters of the Youth League, more than ten pro-soldiers left a few clever ones, and the remaining ten people each led 300 people for a brigade, and the brigade connived at gangs and factions, and set up hundreds of squads in the village, because the number of people was different, the largest team had dozens of people, while the small ones had more than a dozen, and the captain was selected by themselves, basically not the most powerful in the village, is usually the child of a family with status in the village.

Because the amount of training in these two months was so large that I didn't have the strength to find trouble fighting, and there were no bullies or fights between recruits.

Quirrell was also elected as the team leader because he was usually the most popular in the village, and because he had never lost a fight with the next village. It's just that in addition to receiving daily necessities such as dry food and clothes on time, he is no different from a soldier, and he is always teased by his partners in peacetime.

Quirrell didn't even want to open his eyes at this time, and said softly, "Fuck it, I won't let you rest anyway." I want to wake up naturally now, is the division commander treating us as iron men? When the coolies have a fucking day off."

The crowd chimed in, "What a fucking bastard." "The so-called what soldiers will bring, these people are not necessarily as brave as Paul, but the mantra is learned.

After all, Kara couldn't lie down, sat up and said: "You said that we run every day to improve our physical fitness, two months, let alone go to war, I haven't even touched a weapon, what kind of soldier is this, the postman is almost the same." ”

Quirrell thought about the inhuman days of the past two months, and said leisurely: "Don't think about weapons, that bastard might let us take knives and slash each other to hone our resistance." I remember what the guy said on the first day we were here. What is most important for military personnel to adapt to a variety of environments, so this fortress is not intended for us, we are stationed outside the city. The most important thing for a soldier is physical endurance to cope with different situations, so we first hone our will and ensure that even if we can't fight the enemy, we will grind the other side to death. The most important thing for a soldier is discipline and formation, maintaining a good formation can defeat the strong with the weak, and break the strong with the strong, so we will start every training now, you are not allowed to be fast or slow, and you must be uniform. It's hard to guarantee that the day we get the weapon, he will say that the most important thing for a soldier is to resist a beating, and only if you can be beaten, you can kill the other side, so now you can take a knife and cut each other. ”

Quirrell's joke finally caused a burst of laughter. Kara clutched her stomach and said, "Don't make me laugh, I'm in pain all over, if you really want us to cut each other, I'm going to cut the aristocratic boy next door first." ”

A young man named Karn in the village said: "Then I have to cut down that guy Andrew, usually they don't deal with us in Baina Village, but this time more than forty people came even more arrogantly."

Another little fat man named Jason shouted, "Come on, Andrew is afraid that he can scare your kid with a knife first." ”

After two months of suffering, this group of children who had grown up together became more intimate, and the quarrels that had been in the village had already flown out of the clouds. After continuous training, the teenagers were already physically and mentally exhausted, and as the laughter faded, everyone slowly fell asleep.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, the sound of the gong sounded throughout the camp. Although they had not yet experienced the battlefield, the two months of training had also equipped the recruits with the minimum qualities, and they quickly lined up and gathered in the square to listen to Paul's lectures day after day.

Paul himself came to the stage early, looking at the neat faces below but worse than death, and actually leaked a smile, obviously very satisfied with his two months of torture. Clearing his throat, Paul exclaimed, "Boys, you must have wanted to kill me for the past two months." ”

The crowd below almost couldn't help but want to shout yes, but fortunately, the strong desire to survive stopped the sound in their throats. Quirrell felt a little different in the audience, although Paul is a very charismatic person who is good at giving speeches and encouraging people, but in the past two months of boring training, except for the first few very infectious speeches, almost all of them are routine, you go running, climbing mountains, obviously he also knows that no matter how thick the chicken soup is, it can't match the dry training, this unusual opening remarks made Quirrell have a little more expectation in his heart.

Paul laughed and said, "Yes, no one fucking tells the truth, remember that soldiers don't need to tell the truth, they just need obedience and bravery." For two months, we have been training non-stop and I am happy that there has not been a single deserter. ”

"Nonsense, barren mountains and mountains, where do I flee to?" Kara couldn't help but mutter

Paul, of course, did not hear it, and continued: "In the past two months, you have not touched a weapon once, and you have not conducted a single combat exercise, so you must be very puzzled. How can there be a soldier who does not carry a sword? The cooks have to bring their mother's pig-killing knives, right? I tell you, it's because you, who have just joined the army, don't deserve to be called soldiers! Nor is it worthy of picking up a knife or gun. But now, two months, I recognize your efforts and progress, I believe that everyone here will be brave soldiers and reliable comrades in the future, I am willing to leave my back to each of you, and I am willing to guard the back of each of you, so from tomorrow, we will pick up the sword and gun, become a real man, and let me proudly call you a sentence: brother! Are you willing to unite by my side, go outside, and fight your way out of the damn road and a bright future? ”

"Yes! Willing! The blood in the hearts of the teenagers always ignites at a moment's notice, and they responded excitedly again.

"So, rest the little ones, two teams a day, the team leader asked Mark to get the team for two months, and allowed you to go into the city to relax to your heart's content, and return to the team before dark the next day to change to another team to enter the city. But I remind you, don't make trouble in the city, those in the city are real soldiers, I won't give you a head, and you deserve to be killed, is there any problem? ”

"Nope!" This time, everyone was really happy and excited from the bottom of their hearts.

"So, dissolve on the spot! Go boys. With a wave of his hand, Paul signaled to disband, looked at the excited soldiers below, and whispered, "Then get ready for a real nightmare." ”
