Melle's execution was very efficient, and soon a group of squires on horseback returned with several large bundles of sticks.

Jumping off the war horse, Melle walked in front of Jiang Feng.

"My lord, the sticks you asked for have already been fetched, and if they are not enough, I am ordering the city hall to help collect them, and they will be delivered within two hours at the latest."

"yes, I see."

Picking up a wooden stick at random, Jiang Feng felt the weight, and after thinking for a moment, he frowned slightly: "Ask someone to find some stones and hemp rope again." ”

Stones and hemp rope are not difficult to find, especially stones, the most important thing in the Thorn Wasteland is stones, but Melle still can't understand what these things have to do with training soldiers.

Could it be that the wizard wants these people to go into battle with sticks and stones?

The weapons reserves of Boulder City are not so poor that they can't even send swords and spears.

Doubts filled Melle's heart, but again, he did not dare to question.

Soon after, two caravans drove into the training ground and brought what Jiang Feng needed.

He picked up a piece of hemp rope and tied the stone to a stick.

Holding the wooden stick flat in front of him, Jiang Feng glanced at it with his eyes and nodded with satisfaction.

That's just the right amount of weight for training.

Handing the wooden stick in his hand to Melle, Jiang Feng said, "Do you remember what I did just now?"

"Remember...... Get. ”

"Do it again."

Although he felt that this action was stupid, Melle did not dare to hesitate, and followed Jiang Feng's action just now, and raised the wooden stick flat.

"Good." Jiang Feng nodded, "Send these things down, let these recruits make a thing exactly like this one by themselves, and then I will teach you how to train them." ”

Need you to teach me?

Melle looked strange, but did not dare to say anything, bowed his head in response, and immediately complied.

……

The reserves of the Free City differed from those of the feudal lords, and each citizen of the town was obliged to take up arms and defend his homeland in times of crisis. So compared to the peasants in the Lord's Castle who had no military training at all, most of the citizens of Liberty City were still trained.

Because participating in militia training not only manages food, but also exempts a small part of taxes, these conditions are quite attractive to most citizens.

However, this time the situation was a bit special, His Majesty was besieged in Sardinia by hundreds of thousands of troops, and the scale of mobilization in Boulder City was significantly beyond usual expectations, not only the reservists who had received military training were mobilized into the army, but even those citizens who had not received training on weekdays, farmers and miners in nearby villages were also temporarily mobilized.

Lyle is an ordinary citizen of Boulder City, not the kind of regular militia, let alone how to kill enemies on the battlefield, so that he has not even touched the weapon many times, but occasionally goes to the militia training camp to mix around on the days when he has to pay taxes.

However, since the beginning of the month, this voluntary obligation has become mandatory.

Although I am also in charge of food, the amount of training is much larger.

In the morning, as usual for Lyle, he went to the damn "physical training" that made his back ache every day, but he had to do it for lunch.

Lyle arrives at the training grounds, but to his surprise, they don't have to do physical training today, and they can meet a great wizard and tell them that the rest of the training will be arranged by the wizard.

The change left Lyle feeling confused.

Could it be that wizards teach them to rub fireballs?

Is this possible?

As the training began, Lyle found it to be much easier than he had imagined. Just holding a wooden stick tied to bricks, keeping a certain distance from his comrades-in-arms beside him, on the training ground, with a strange and neat step, stepped forward.

The sticks were a bit heavy, but they were much easier than the damn physical training, so that his arms were sore at best, and the wizard had promised them a chicken leg for dinner as long as they walked neatly and the formation was not out of order.

Lyle, not only Lyle, but all the soldiers sang in their hearts about the generosity of the wizard.

However, after the training began, Lyle realized that walking was not an easy task.

Jiang Feng looked at the militia in front of him, and he could only describe it as miserable, the first time they walked right, they couldn't maintain a neat formation at all, and the rhythm of their steps was chaotic. But he also knew very well in his heart that this matter could only be done slowly.

The training method has already told Melle that he doesn't need to stay here all the time.

After briefly explaining the arrangement of the training process to Melle, Jiang Feng turned around and left.

Not long after Jiang Feng left, two figures walked over.

Hearing that Jiang Feng was going to train the militia, Cilita, out of curiosity, rushed over with her adjutant Derak as soon as possible, hoping to help a little.

Walking into the training ground, Cilita looked around and didn't see Jiang Feng, but only those reservists who were training.

Looking at the sticks with bricks on their ends, her expression was quite strange, and her eyes were full of doubts and puzzles. She'd never seen such a weird way of training, so what else could it do besides building arm muscles and endurance?

Perhaps, the only thing that is remarkable is the formation that is able to train soldiers.

However, putting the formation in front without training these people to fight on the battlefield is simply putting the cart before the horse.

Yes, formation is important, but these are light infantry, not heavily armed hoplites. Even if a group of light infantry walked in order, it would be impossible to stabilize the formation after colliding with the enemy.

These can all be placed after basic training.

"Melle, what's going on?" Celita said suspiciously.

Melle saw Cilita hurriedly walked over, if there is another thing that cannot be offended in Boulder City besides the wizard, it is the girl in front of him.

The identity and status of the Chosen One is second only to the Pope for believers.

The only difference is that the Chosen cannot deliver oracles in the name of the gods.

"Dear Lord Cilita, all of this is what the wizard meant." Melle said truthfully.

Hearing this, Celita frowned slightly and nodded.

This is the wizard realm, as long as the innocent civilians are not slaughtered, the wizard can toss as much as he wants.

But having said that, it's a time of war......

Moreover, the agreement between the wizard and His Majesty the King, she is still a little clearer.

Glancing at the five thousand reservists again in confusion, Celita turned to look at Derak on the side and asked, "What do you think of this kind of training?"

"Forgive me, I don't think the wizard knows how to train soldiers." Frank said bluntly.

Frank knew how to train soldiers better than Cilita, but even he had never seen such a strange way of training.

Celita frowned, she didn't think Jiang Feng was a messy person, but the scene in front of her made her very puzzled.

Turning around, Celita said to Derrank, "You go back to the barracks first, I'm going to find the wizard."

"Yes."

After leaving the training ground and separating from Derrank, Cilita went directly to the city hall, and Jiang Feng was asking Lembert about the production progress of the industry alliance.

Things went smoothly, simply beyond Rembert's expectations.

As soon as they heard that it was a mission issued by the wizard, there was no need for him to agitate at all, and the chambers of commerce put all their efforts into producing those parts. For them, this is a good opportunity to perform in front of the wizard, and they should not miss it.

The iron ore itself is one of the specialties of the Thorn Wasteland, and the blacksmith shop in Boulder City is more than enough to complete these production tasks.

"Well, that's good." Jiang Feng nodded and said with satisfaction.

Rembert smiled and said, "It's all the glory of the Great Chief Sorcerer guiding us."

This statement is very interesting, can the world shine when it comes to slapping people?

Jiang Feng smiled.

At this time, Celita appeared outside the door and saw Jiang Feng and Rembert, Celita apologized and said, "Sorry to disturb the conversation between the two."

Seeing the expression on her face that seemed to have something to say, Jiang Feng asked in a casual tone.

"What's the matter?"

"It's about the reserves." Celita said bluntly.

Eyebrows raised, Jiang Feng asked.

"Have you been to the training ground?"

Celita nodded and said bluntly, "Yes, I'm confused by the training method of the Chief Wizard."

Jiang Feng was not surprised by Cilita's doubts.

He knew very well that not to mention Celita, including Melle, who was acting on orders, was confused and thought that he was fooling around. In the eyes of these aborigines of the Cold Weapon Era, those training methods are indeed a waste of time, and it is better to pull those recruits out to run two laps, and then divide into two groups to chop wooden swords.

However, Jiang Feng didn't want to explain anything.

Time and facts will be the best proof.

"It's normal to be confused, and if you can understand the mystery, you're a wizard too." Jiang Feng smiled faintly, "Don't worry, at most a month, you will see a group of well-trained soldiers with strong combat effectiveness." ”

Cilita's expression was a little embarrassed.

Although she didn't think that a wizard would deceive herself, especially Jiang Feng, who was kind to her, she really didn't dare to compliment that training method.

There is no disrespect.

It's purely fact-based.

"Wizard, if you have any problems with your training, Cilita is willing to help you with your worries." Celita said euphemistically, expressing her desire to train the militia.

Jiang Feng smiled when he heard this, how could he not hear the meaning of Cilita's words.

"Cilita, how about we make a bet?"

"Bet?" Celita was stunned.

Jiang Feng thought for a moment: "I bet that the soldiers I train will at least defeat at least five times the number of enemy troops on the battlefield. ”

"It can't be." Cilita's eyes widened.

What is the concept of 25,000?

Standing together, there are all human heads as far as the eye can see!

Even if you use witchcraft, if you want to annihilate the enemy army in thousands of people, it can only be done by witchcraft with more than five stars.

For example, the cursed realm that Tinia arranged on Crocodile Island is an existence that is comparable to five-star witchcraft, and there is nothing wrong with using that kind of thing to solve the port of Savit, which has a total population of only three or four thousand, but if you want to solve the army of more than 10,000 people, you can't do it unless the commander is brain-dead enough to send meat to it in batches.

"Don't believe me?" Jiang Feng smiled, temporarily reminded, and said casually, "Then let's take a gamble, how about the loser promise the other party a condition?" ”

Hardly hesitating, Cilita thumped her chest with her right hand and said cheerfully.

"It's a deal!"

Common sense on the battlefield tells Celita that she doesn't think she's going to lose the bet at all.

Battlefields and duels are not the same.

Witchcraft can only be of greatest value on the battlefield when it is combined with cavalry, the former using strange damage to damage the sorcery to demoralize and destroy the enemy's formation, and the latter to charge with a cavalry spear to harvest the remnants of the army, which is the correct posture to open the group.

Simply throwing fireballs into a pile of people is not nice to say, it is nothing more than a walking trebuchet.

Even if Jiang Feng played in person, Cilita didn't think she would lose.

Prince William led a large army to besiege the city, and with sufficient food in the castle, it was impossible to see it for more than half a year, although the situation was critical, but a month could still be obtained.

Moreover, the 20,000 town militia that are already in the establishment, and Sirita is also training at the same time. If there is no result after a month, it would be good to ask for the five thousand reserves to come over tactfully, she doesn't think that the wizard will pull down his face and regret it.

Looking at Cilita's confident appearance, Jiang Feng smiled and didn't speak.

Natives with spears also want to fight with spears and cannons?

Are you worthy?

Not to mention five times, I'm afraid that once this cannon sounds, the gunfire will sound again, and it is difficult to say how many people on the other side can hold their thighs and not pee their pants.

Counterattack?

Inexistent.

A team of a few hundred people chased tens of thousands of people, which was too much in the history of the Federation's wars.

If it weren't for the substandard materials and forging process, there would be no problem directly on automatic rifles and heavy machine guns in the electric era. At that time, it will not be hundreds of people chasing tens of thousands of people to run away, and tens of thousands of people will be wiped out.

In this way, the two made a bet.
