Section B Chapter 21: The Status of Women in the Army (Lusha)

"Actually, that's all you Aya can do. The left arm was strained, and many solid muscle blocks were exposed on the elf's slender left arm: "--It's about physical fitness." Like us Ebourne, we have to develop our muscles and physical fitness. But you Aya, you are born to run 50,000 meters without panting. ”

"That's why Aloya's National Games forbade Aiya from participating in events such as marathon endurance races, but weightlifting and the like are not Aiya can participate. With a very nostalgic expression, Lusha whispered, "Although the body is strong, the pain that can be felt is too intense. ”

"That's it, but it's all that can be circumvented with flexible maneuver and tactical arrangements. Don't forget, almost all of you Aiya are women, but weren't all the Ayya soldiers who fought and won all the rebellions in the early days of Aeloa?"

Smiling, the elf once again confidently proposed: "Ordinary Eborn women like humans and orcs have difficulty training muscles and strong enough strength because of their body structure problems. As a result, they tend to be inferior to male fighters in battle. Aya, like the Angel Clan and so on, is a special case. And ......" fiddling with the stick, the elf slowly proposed: "It's a good thing that you can't train conspicuous muscles." After all, not many women want to have appearance-ruining muscles, right?"

"But I've heard...... Many women delve into martial arts and lose in strength in the end. Listening to the elf's words, Lusa felt worried, "Is that so?"

"That's right. Women's reaction speed, flexibility, agility and coordination are basically better than men's, so they all rely on agility and skill to fight. However, when facing a man with the same skills, after a few moves, it is all about strength. No matter how dazzling his body is, he can't support it after receiving a powerful blow from the opponent. Sebodat said this in a serious manner, and then his tone paused slightly.

Shaking his head regretfully, the elf lowered his voice: "Of course, for skilled female warriors, such a man is also difficult to meet. Even if you do lose the battle, there is nothing to be ashamed of. ”

"Actually, I never understood why most human cities don't have female soldiers. Lusha asked the question that had puzzled her for a long time: "Even if it is true that they are physically unfit for battle, there will always be some women who want to go to war, right?" but there is no place to recruit them except for the mercenary regiment and the church troops. ”

"Tracing back to its origin, it has to be an ancient tradition left by physical fitness. Therefore, it is different from the situation where the orc army is half male and female, or even more female. You see, the appearance of orc women is basically the same as that of humans, but because of the residual beast power, they are naturally stronger. Therefore, they have been equal to men and women since ancient times, which is in stark contrast to human beings. After thinking about it, the elf lowered the brim of the deer hunting hat slightly, "It would be better to let you know some combat attempts...... Do you know the role that women play in the military in general? ”

Thinking of this, Lusha was a little distressed: "Could it be ...... A scout?"

"No, I'm not asking about that classification - archers, actually. In a gesture of drawing the bow, Cyberdat smiled and said, "There are always humans who say, 'War makes women go away', but the Eurasian Emperor doesn't think so." He was anxious to prove that women who could not do magic were equally suitable for the battlefield, but at that time he had not yet mastered the training methods of dragoons, so he could not give up most of his dragoon positions to women as he did later. You must know that the elite class of dragon knights, who are all heroes, is basically held by women, which has a big impact on the status of women at that time!"

So Eurasia, who was extremely sexist at the time, placed most of the women as archers who could avoid melee conflicts because of their disadvantage, and the other part as spies, assassins, and heralds. ”

Archers...... Remorseful that she didn't expect it, Lusha hung her head helplessly: it was indeed so. But in fact, cavalry is also suitable for women. In particular, the hussar nation can hold a bow in both hands and control the horse with both legs while keeping a safe distance from the horse.

"As long as it's not the kind of big bow that requires special strength, a woman with a little training can pull it. At the same time, because the heart rate is generally low and the senses are stronger than men, the strength of these female soldiers on the battlefield is even close to that of the women of our elven race, which makes the guys who laughed at the Eurasian troops before the war have so many women dumbfounded. After smiling at this, Cyberdat looked at Lusa calmly: "Later, there was also a team of female crossbowmen who assisted in the battle at close range under the cover of large shield soldiers and spearmen. It can be said to be cover, but in fact, these crossbowmen are the absolute protagonists of the killing. ”

Indeed, the armor-making technology of the year had not been continuously improved by the Eurasian Empire, so as long as the armor was not enchanted, it could be easily shot through by a crossbow. This led to the knightly class at that time having to seek the help of mages, which once made the status of mages high. It was also at that time that court mages (usually magicians and wizards, and few warlocks) began to emerge.

As a result, enchantment became more and more popular.

“...... As for what happened after that, we all know. In the later armies of the Eurasian Empire, the ratio of men to women was about eight to two. That's high enough. "Cyberdart seems to be indulging in the old habit of storytelling.

With a slight grin, the elf leaned against a large tree and talked about something that made Lusa a little shy: "For a race like humans, where the ratio of men to women is close to one to one, it is normal for women to rarely go to battle. Because men are prone to heavy casualties after a vicious battle, the entire country needs to recuperate and replenish its population for several years. At this time, it doesn't matter how many men there are, but if the number of women is small, it will be troublesome. ”

Is it still because of this...... It always sounds awkward. Her cheeks were a little hot, and Lutha clenched her cane, and she couldn't help but think of another thing: this may be the reason why humans always love to fight? Races like us, the Bloods, and the Elves, where the whole city celebrates for having a child, really don't want to go to war.

...... This is also the reason why many ancient races have been overthrown by waves of human beings.

Humans can exchange a hundred lives for the strongest one in combat power, Berontan. After the big battle, the human race will go to recuperate for a few years, and then come back to you. How does this hold up?
