Chapter 3 Reinvigorate
Late at night, a gust of wind blew, although the winter is about to pass, but it is still cold, the Youth League has no baggage and tents, only a few lit fires are difficult to release their light and heat, but thousands of people still can't feel the warmth, can only curl up in their own quilts and scold their mothers to fall asleep slowly.
The place where the teenagers slept could not be called a barracks at all, let alone a sentry vigil, and the only few veterans had already relaxed their vigilance in the hinterland of the empire and fell asleep.
A dark shadow watched all this, muttered a little dissatisfied, looked at the person who slept crookedly, and simply gave up even dodging and concealment, and actually walked into the tent where Paul was.
The black shadow walked into the tent, and through the firelight, he saw that this man was wearing a hood, extremely tall, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, full of explosive muscles, but it made people feel that this person was a brainless muscular man. The man stepped into the tent and walked directly towards Paul's bed, and when there were still two steps, Paul on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, and Paul at this time did not look like he was going to die during the day, and took out the short sword under the pillow and stabbed the person quickly.
The man's right hand drew a dagger from his waist as if he had been prepared, blocking the short sword that pierced the door, and the step that did not fall flew up directly, kicking Paul's sword-wielding right hand. Paul didn't expect the opponent to react so quickly, and after lifting his knee to push away the opponent's attack, the whole person really stood up on the bed and asked, "Who dares to kill me." β
There was no intention to stop in his hand, and three swords stabbed out in a row, pointing directly at the upper, middle and lower three key points of the man in black, and the speed was so fast that he couldn't tell which sword stabbed first and which sword was behind. The man in black let out an exclamation, and his tone actually seemed to be very satisfied with Paul's reaction, but the dagger in his hand did not return to defense, but stabbed Paul in the ribs with a sword. Paul was full of shock at this time, his three swords were already fast, the other party was an understatement, and he used a short dagger, and he actually felt that he was going to come first, and he was afraid that his sword would be stabbed first.
Paul is worthy of being a veteran of the battlefield, full of experience, and knows that the retreat is not in a hurry, but the whole person jumps backwards against gravity and returns to bed to avoid the sword of the man in black. Paul stood on the bed and couldn't stop gasping, just a few times was almost a momentary thing, but he was in a cold sweat, knowing that he had met a master he had never seen in his life.
The man in black slowly took another step forward, and the dagger in his hand was also stabbed out with three swords in a row, Gong was like Paul's three key points, which was exactly the same as Paul's just now. Paul was shocked, his body reacted faster than his brain, and he raised his short sword to instinctively block the stab to the front door, and at the same time his body adjusted its position slightly, hoping that the two stabs would not be critical, and he could find a way out again.
The dagger of the man in black turned at will, and he actually chased Paul's figure and still followed the vital point, Paul was shocked but had no power to dodge, and secretly said that my life is dead. But he didn't want the man in black to just swipe lightly on Paul's body, so he withdrew the dagger and fiddled with it in front of him, and said lightly: "Why didn't the regiment commander shout?" This place is surrounded by your 3,000 soldiers, and next door is your personal barracks. Do you think it's my opponent? β
Paul didn't hide it, and said helplessly: "Your Excellency's skills are the only ones I have ever seen in my life, how can the three thousand at the door be considered soldiers, but they are just children, what is the use of waking them up." Mark next door is not as skilled as me, and even if I had come, I would have died under your sword, but I had taken their lives in vain. β
The man in black laughed and said, "But you are the head of a group, if you die in such a vain, what will happen to the people below." β
Paul said gloomily, "The people below? Except for Mark, everyone else thinks I'm a useless drunkard. I wonder what your attention is doing here? My enemies sent me to such a place, and I don't believe that they are willing to ask someone like you to kill me. β
The man in black laughed and said, "Deputy Head Paul, do you really not remember me?" He pulled down his hood.
Paul only really had time to notice the person at this time, the face under the hood of this person was extremely handsome, every detail of his facial features was perfect, and it was rare that he did not reveal the feeling of being a cream boy at all, not only because of the strong muscles of the whole body, but also because of the faint momentum in his eyes.
Paul's eyes widened like never before, and his whole body trembled: "It's you." "
Early in the morning of the second day, Paul stepped out of the camp early, looked at the three thousand recruits lying outside, thinking about the conversation with the man in black last night, and his heart was full of pride, hum, let those people know that with reserves, Lao Tzu is also the best general in the empire.
Paul looked at a rock that was more than a man tall, jumped on it, and shouted, "Everyone, get up fuckingly, give you ten minutes, and pack up here and assemble." β
Mark also came out of the tent at this time, and when he saw his old friend who was full of energy and energy, he couldn't help but rub his eyes and thought he was dreaming.
Paul looked back at Mark and grinned, "Old man, I've been working hard for you these past few days, and I'm back." β
In just one sentence, Mark was even happier than when he heard that he had become the deputy commander, and he instantly stood up straight and saluted: "Special Preparation Elite Youth League, the first deputy division commander Mark, report to the regiment commander." β
Paul looked at this long-time comrade-in-arms, and couldn't help but stand up straight, and returned a military salute: "Paul, the commander of the first division of the Special Preparation Elite Youth League, is back." β
At this time, the teenagers were woken up from their dreams one by one by shouting, and they had no consciousness and habits as soldiers, and when they got closer, they saw that yesterday's drunkard seemed to have changed as if they had changed a person, and they thought that they hadn't woken up yet, and one by one they didn't seem to hear the words they were going to assemble just now, and some people stretched their waists and prepared to go to sleep.
At this time, the pro-soldiers finally reacted, showed the qualities that a veteran should have, directly put on their horses, and began to shout around the field for the recruits to get up and assemble quickly.
Paul's ten minutes clearly overestimated the quality of the recruits, and it took a full half an hour for the group to barely stand in line and wait for the first lecture from the regimental commander in front of the boulder.
Paul looked at the teenagers in front of him, and couldn't help but recall that he had set foot on the battlefield in such a naΓ―ve way decades ago, and then fought all the way, gradually showing his head and feet, and rising again in pride, but he was just starting all over again, what were he afraid of. Brushing his loose hair, he said to the man below: "You are the worst soldiers I have ever seen." You don't have any skills, discipline, fighting methods, combat experience, and I don't think you've even seen blood except for street fights. Yesterday you must have thought I was just a drunken shit. But let me tell you, I'm just like you, when I was a teenager, I was a waste who didn't know anything, and like you, I was also from a small village, with no backstage and no acquaintances. However, I have gone from being a soldier to my current status by myself. You may not know me, but let me tell you, I am the youngest deputy division commander of the Peacetime War Corps in the history of the Empire, and I am also the youngest soldier to receive the Order of the Second Rank of the Empire. And you, you are the soldiers I brought from scratch in the first wave, you will be my closest comrades-in-arms, as long as you study hard, I will make you the most elite soldiers on this continent as soon as possible, the enemy's most terrible nightmare, I believe that there are cowards in you, and there are sissies who are weak when they see blood. But there will be more fighters like me, and I am sure that there will be division commanders and even regimental commanders who are younger than me. Will you write your own chapter in history together like me, and will you have the confidence to survive on the battlefield and become heroes, to be heroes like me and Prince Celes? β
"Yes!"
Hearing this speech, it seemed that there was a great future and a broad road in front of them, and they were all excited and cheered wildly.
"Good." Paul stretched out his hand to signal silence, and then continued: "Then the next training we will carry out will be the hardships and horrors that you have never thought of and seen, and I will train you in the harshest and most terrible way, and if you can withstand it, you will become the most powerful and terrible force on this continent." If you feel that you can't stand it, you can leave now, and I will report that you are sick and dead on the road, and your family will receive a pension, and you only need to be like a coward and dare not look up and speak to anyone on your own one-third of an acre of land for the rest of your life. So now, is anyone leaving? β
"Nope!"
"So," Paul grinned, revealing a malicious smile, "let's get started now!" β
