Act 394 Carrots and Sticks
After the instructor Ge Hongyu explained some basic precautions, Warren and the others were taken to a row of containers converted into buildings and began to register one by one and receive basic items such as clothes, beds, and quilts.
Taking advantage of the free queue, Valen quietly reached out and knocked on the strange room next to him, and the echo of the walls confirmed his suspicion that the house was made entirely of steel! It's just a layer of wood-colored paint on the outside.
"These Chinese people are simply ...... Simply ......"
For a while, Valen really couldn't find a suitable adjective to express his inner thoughts at this time.
Extravagant?
No, the word is not at all appropriate!
To be precise, it should be a nerve plus a loser......
That's a whole row of houses! It's all made of steel!
Forget about the steel battleship, after all, the shell made of steel is enough to give that battleship super combat effectiveness, but what is the reason for using steel to build a house!?
If you take the steel of this house and use it to make armor and swords, you will instantly be able to transform yourself from a mere knight family into a military lord more powerful than the baron you have sworn allegiance!
And here they built an entire row of houses out of steel!!
As much as he wanted to scold, Valen really didn't dare to say it, he was really afraid that he would be sent back because of such a trivial matter.
Losing money is one thing, but face is also very important.
In fact, the storm base doesn't really want to use these containers to temporarily convert them into houses, but on the one hand, those containers are idle, and they are too much of a place to be placed there, and it's a pity not to make full use of them. On the other hand, they simply don't have the time and manpower to build masonry houses.
Although the base has always had a plan to use otherworldly mercenaries to reduce the loss of its own people, it has been delayed because the pressure from the undead has not been great before, and it has not been carried out until the undead of the Eternal Holy Sect launched a full-scale war only to find that the troops have been stretched thin, so they can only roar and roar.
This has caused a shortage of all kinds of materials!
The room can only be hastily modified with a container, anyway, there is this kind of temporary house on the construction site of Huaguo, as long as the transformation is in place, it can still live very comfortably.
After a day's rest in the container room, the next day, Valen and the others received their first training to become the "Colonial Second Devil Soldier" at the base.
Fundamentally different from the situation where veterans train recruits on Earth, instructors here in Anglia do not have the opportunity to "show their hands" in front of a group of recruits to establish authority.
When it comes to personal strength, if you don't use a gun, you can pick out any one of the master and beat a class of base instructors.
Although these instructors are all good at various units, it is impossible for them to give you a chance to get close, and if the opponent is a combat mage, even if you are close, you may not be able to win these veterans who crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood!
In order to be able to deal with all kinds of extreme situations, these mage veterans usually have a good hand in close combat, which is naturally not comparable to professional warriors, but it is okay to respond in an emergency.
In the instructor team, there are people who have killed, but none of them have really killed the enemy in hand-to-hand combat!
But the authority of the instructor must still be there, otherwise a group of arrogant soldiers will not be able to bring it at all!
So on the first day, they were shown a unique combat lesson, where the recruits faced off against the Phantom Commandos equipped with the Leaping Dragon's individual armor!
Before the battle began, Valen knew that this was to give them a dismount, but in the same way, these Anglian Masters did not take the Hua soldiers who had no fighting spirit and magic in their eyes, and also had the idea of showing their strength.
The higher the strength, the higher the commission, this is the general rule of the mercenary industry, who can refuse their commission to go further?
But, from the moment the first magic was cast, Valen and the others found that the battle was not fair at all!
"Hell! The armor that those damn bastards wear is an absolute artifact! Absolute! ”
A mage watched in frustration as his magic hit the commando's individual armor accurately, and then it was like a small flame blown out by a raging storm, and in the blink of an eye, it was gone.
Nothing works!
Aside from a few scorched marks, the low-level magic attacks didn't leave even a single scar on the Leaping Dragon's individual armor at all!
Immediately afterwards, the commandos did not use firearms to bully people, but rushed into the mages in a rugby-like formation, relying on the surging power provided by the mechanical exoskeleton to bully people wantonly.
The completely one-sided battle lasted less than a minute before it ended, and that's it, because the commandos didn't dare to use all their strength for fear of hurting people.
Of course, the mages did not accept this result!
In their opinion, the Phantom Commando should be the strongest combat force in the base, as if using the legend to bully the lower rank, it is too unfair!
Then they saw a grand fireworks display.
The continuous metal storm of self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, the terrifying explosion of 155mm howitzers, and the treetop attacks from helicopter gunships all show that the commandos just now are not the end of China's combat power, and there are countless more terrifying things on top of this.
According to Ge Hongyu, one of the important things they have to learn is how to cooperate with these alchemy monsters.
The thought that these trembling monsters will be on their side in the future, Valen and their feelings are much better, who doesn't want to have a few more powerful thighs around them!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ge Hongyu frightened them into a long-sighted tune, emphasizing that if they didn't train well, they would likely be injured by mistake on the battlefield in the future because of poor cooperation, so a group of mages finally began to have a bit of a correct attitude towards training.
In the end, Ge Hongyu used another sentence to make the morale of these people burst the table.
"Today we're just showing you a little bit of the power of this armor, and if you're good enough to convince Your Majesty to grant you the title of Stormwind Kingdom, then you'll be awarded a piece of armor similar to this at the same time, as Your Majesty ordered earlier!
Of course, it's just similar to this, because the armor in front of you is not compatible with spellcasting, and it was developed for us Chinese people who don't know how to use magic, so it's not suitable for you to use.
But we also have an alchemy armor made entirely of Mithril, which will allow you to defeat your high-level opponents with low-tier strength! ”
Almost instantly, Ge Hongyu saw that the eyes of those magic masters were eager and almost burst into flames.
