The troops dragged their baggage and walked slowly, but Su Hao was quite worried in his heart. After all, this is a small army he has just raised, and although they are farmers who have inherited the brave blood of the Nords, they have also become somewhat lazy after entering the Calradian society, which is mainly based on agriculture, and being fixed on the land and villages. This is a bit similar to the Mongols who went south to the Central Plains to establish the Yuan Dynasty, but indulged in a decadent life of drunkenness and gold. At the beginning of the Central Plains, the flag disciples were imposing, but in the last years of the dynasty, they became a group of parasites who only knew how to play with birds and enjoy themselves.

If it weren't for the war, secession, and banditry that stimulated their nerves of war, I am afraid that this group of Nord people who came from afar to expand their territory would be like the Yuan and Qing dynasties, heading towards the end of decay.

In a word, this small army still needs to be trained.

However, fortunately, there is Ken Ronnie, an excellent infantry lieutenant under the command of Lord Iaya, who is proficient in the training methods of infantry, and it is not too much of a problem to train them. In addition, this group of recruits has also experienced a decent battle, experienced the feeling of killing, bloodshed, and injury, and has completed the first transformation of becoming an elite.

Soldiers who have seen blood and soldiers who have not seen blood are people from two worlds, and often in the first battle of blood, more than eighty percent of the recruits will be eliminated.

At this time, someone was already shouting that he was tired, Su Hao glanced at the man, indeed, fine beads of sweat had oozed from his forehead, and he looked like he was going to fall down at any time. It was also difficult for them, he was wearing a full suit of chain armor, carrying a load in addition to his weapons, and pushing a wheelbarrow in his hand, which was indeed a great test of their physical strength, strength and will.

At this time, the team entered a forest, Su Hao looked here, the terrain is quite dangerous, and the terrain is complex, there are rivers, valleys, small areas of flat land, there are undulating hills of varying heights, the surface is rugged, not conducive to the deployment and action of cavalry, but it is very suitable for the activities and play of infantry.

So Su Hao ordered to rest on the spot. There were a few young men in the team who knew how to pitch tents, and then set up tents at the edge of the woods, because in the event of a sudden appearance of the enemy, they could also leave the dense forest in time to avoid being harmed by the heat and suffocating smoke.

Of course, there are not many personnel, so it is enough to cut down a few useful trees, put up a few rags, and erect a few simple tents, and as for the wooden fence and even the watchtower, it is exempt, after all, there are no such professionals in the team.

However, at Ken Ronnie's insistence, a five-metre-deep trap was dug around the camp of the small tents, the bottom of which was filled with sharpened wooden stakes, and between several groups of trees close to each other, very thin silk threads and bells were tied as a warning.

At this time, Ken Ronnie stood up, at this time he was already wearing the Nord striped heavy armor that only Nord infantry lieutenants were qualified to wear, the heart goggles on his chest were polished to the dust, he was wearing a Germanic helmet, and the gold-inlaid Germanic sword given by Su Hao himself in his hand flashed with a cold cold light, this sword that belonged to the leader of the pirates was used to temporarily serve as a symbol of military power. At this time, his injuries had not yet healed, but he still insisted on wearing heavy armor all over his body, for no other reason, just to set an example for the group of recruits in front of him.

He straightened up and inspected the poor few tents, but his face was solemn and solemn, his tall body was like a flag deeply planted in the center of the military formation, and his steps were surprisingly equidistant and consistent, showing his professional qualities as a low-level officer of Nord. Even more surprising are his footprints... The heavy military iron boots had sunk into the dirt, and when they were pulled out, the footprints were 5 centimeters deep.

He looked around at the recruits sitting on the ground panting and looking embarrassed, shook his head slightly, and then pointed to a young man who looked second only to Dwight in stature, and said, "Stand up." ”

The man then stood up, straightening himself as straight as he could, but not as much as Ken.

Ken noticed that the blade of the Germanic short battle axe in his hand was stained with mud, and the helmet that should have been shiny was also misty, and then his eyes became colder, and he asked lightly, "Didn't you take care of your sword and armor?" ”

The man was stunned for a moment, and then replied, somewhat indifferently, "No, instructor." ”

"Young man, don't you remember what I told you before the march? Once you have free time, no matter how tired you are, the first thing to do is to polish your helmet and weapons! You can't even do such a simple thing, so how can you be considered a qualified Nord infantryman? ”

Listening to Ken's words, the young man was very unimpressed, and just said copingly, "Oh. ”

"Good." Ken smiled and said, "Do you think that what I said doesn't seem to make sense?" ”

The young man hesitated for a moment and said, "Instructor, can I tell the truth?" ”

"Of course."

The young man plucked up his courage and said, "Instructor, in fact, I think that although you are a veteran, you do not have any strength, just now when you were marching, you did not have any extra burdens on your body except for weapons and armor, obviously you are used to being pampered, but you have no stamina and strength. And we, including Chief Su, carried heavy bags and pushed carts. If it were Chief Su who said this to me, I could accept it, unconditionally, but you... Only you, what you say, I just look at Chief Su's face and listen to it casually. ”

Ken couldn't help but laugh when he heard the young man's true feelings, his laughing voice was extremely majestic, unlike the old and weak of the chief of the village of Loire, his voice was a real lion! He looked around, looked at all the recruits, and shouted, "Do you think the same thing?" Tell me out loud! ”

All the recruits looked at each other, and finally glanced at Su Hao, but Su Hao just used a big tree, grabbed the thick branches of the tree with one arm, and did pull-ups, without looking at this side.

He just instructed Ken to practice as he pleased, as long as he didn't die.

Finally, the group of recruits, encouraged by the young man's sincere feelings, replied loudly: "That's right. ”

Ken smiled, then pulled out the gold-encrusted longsword and pointed at the other party, "According to the tradition of our Nord Kingdom, the strong can dominate everything about the weak, including property, personal freedom, his body and even... His woman! I beat you, young man, and you just have to obey me, can you do it? ”

A treacherous smile crossed the corner of the young man's lips, and he nodded: "I swear by the honor of my Loire that I can do it!" ”

Ken nodded and said, "You can take the shield and your best weapon, let's try it out." ”

The young man took Germain's one-handed battle axe, held his shield, and stood up, staring at Ken's sword with eagle-sharp eyes.

Ken, on the other hand, didn't look at him at all, he closed his eyes and said lightly, "3." ”

“2。”

“1。”

"Let's go!"

The young man shouted, and an axe slashed at his head, while Ken stood still and took a step forward, raising his sword, picking it lightly, and stabbing it straight, and the whole movement was as clean and enjoyable as flowing water! Before the young man could react, the tip of the gold-encrusted longsword struck like a venomous serpent's swift and venomous blow, passing through the Germanic shield that he had not had time to erect, and finally across his neck!

The sharp blade of the sword gently cut through the skin of the young man's neck, shedding tiny drops of blood, but the wound was extremely shallow, and with a little more force, this young Nord recruit would surely die under Ken's sword.

The young man was dumbfounded, and the one-handed axe, which had been stagnant halfway, slipped down weakly, and his mouth could not be closed for a long time.

He seemed to feel like he was touching death, maybe not, but the distance, only 1 centimeter.

The sense of oppression that this Ronnie instructor brought to him was definitely the same as that shocking pirate leader at the beginning... Above Ruktyr.

He lowered his stubborn and unyielding head, restrained his unruly eyes, and said gloomily:

"I lost, instructor."

At this time, Su Hao came over and asked the young man, "Why do you think you lost?" ”

The young man was silent for a long time before he said, "I think... Maybe it's because I was carrying a bag when I was marching before, I was too tired and didn't have the physical strength... But even so, I felt that even if I was physically intact, I was no match for him, and he was indeed a formidable swordsman, and I was convinced of the loss. ”

Su Hao smiled and said, "Is that so?" ”

Without waiting for the young man to answer, Su Hao turned his head to Ken and said, "Now, take off all the clothes on your upper body." ”

"Chief Su, scars are not for showing off..."

"Ken Ronnie! You are now in my ranks, and as long as you stand here one day, you will be my subordinate one day. What I just said was not a request, but an order! Now, execute the command! ”

"Yes, Chief Su!"

Ken sheathed his sword, then quickly stripped off his upper body armor and underwear, revealing his upper body, which was full of well-proportioned muscles.

Su Hao gently untied the bandages wrapped around his body, and when all his upper body was exposed, everyone was shocked.

It's all scars, not a single intact place, and the chest and lower abdomen are still fresh blood scabs!

Could it be that this is the medal of glory that truly represents glory under the distinctive armor of the Nord royal guards?!

"Four days ago, he was stabbed with two swords and a sword, and his injuries have not healed yet, so I didn't let him carry his luggage." Su Hao said lightly, and then instructed Avril: "I'll change the medicine for him later." ”

Avril nodded.

Su Hao handed the armor and clothing back to Ken, and then said, "Now, it's your turn." ”

Ken nodded, and then said lightly to the dumbfounded Nord recruit: "Now, polish your weapons, take care of your armor, and listen to my orders in 15 minutes!" ”

He immediately straightened up and said loudly, "Yes, instructor." ”

Ken looked at the other recruits, scars and muscles squirming like fast-growing vines, and shouted, "Who else wants to challenge me, Ken Ronnie from Odasan?!" ”

Be quiet.

No one spoke, just silently bowed their heads and began to wipe their weapons and armor.

"Well, in 15 minutes, follow my orders, and all of you will stand in a neat line, right in this clearing! And in the future, after hearing my command, do not be silent, I need a loud answer from you! ”

"Yes, Instructor Ronnie!"
