Chapter 043:
Edgar waved his hand: "There is nothing to trust or distrust. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoActually, our training base is supported by the Drua Sect, when Tiktis picked this place with a large amount of money and manpower, he began to build a training ground, all the capital investment and early manpower investment are their contributions, and we mountain people are equivalent to sitting back and enjoying the success. Just using their funds and not contributing to them, of course, there is no such thing, which is why we are under the Dark Order. ”
This was the first time Edgar had uttered the words "Dark Order" in front of me, and my mind immediately jerked: "Dark Order, the Dark Order that the legendary Holy King Leon defeated?"
Edgar smiled bitterly, "That's right, the Church of Braka is the same dark order that Che defeated thirty years ago. However, the characterization of that war is still difficult to conclude, and all the royal histories of the five great powers believe that in that war, the Dark Order was on the evil side and Lyon was on the good side. But thirty years have passed, and those who participated in the war are now either cold or occupy high positions. It is difficult to say whether they were making a conclusion about whether they were trying to justify the benefits they had gained from the war. As far as I know, the Dark Order thirty years ago advocated a very clear and positive idea, eliminating all darkness, eliminating all evil, exalting the only fire of divine punishment, punishing all sinful people, and establishing a divine kingdom full of light for all living beings. Even our name, the Order of Darkness, is not the one that worships the evil gods of darkness as it is rumored to be, and you know, we worship the flame, and in the boundless darkness, only the flame can punish sin and bring light, and darkness is nothing but the object of our conquest and victory. As for Lyon, if you've heard the legend, you should know from which war he gained enough profit and prestige to finally reach his goal of emigrating to America. ”
My mind gradually became confused, and there seemed to be some turmoil in the view of right and wrong, the view of history, and the world view that had been cultivated for many years.
Edgar said, "Membius was sent by the Druas to help us build, and his administrative skills were very helpful to us hillmen. After all, no matter how the people who are kings in the world change, the common people on the earth will have to fill their stomachs. So my plan for this is that whatever the Druas have for Calradia, we will use them to improve the quality of life of our hill people. Of course, if you need a mountain man to go to war, that's just a payment we pay. ”
I said, "So you're willing to train troops for them?"
"It's also training troops for us," Edgar said. The stronger the combat effectiveness of the mountain people, the fewer people who will die on the battlefield in the future. I watched your training, and Pami also told me about your command skills, I hope you can help our mountain people to be stronger, in the future, we can die less, and survive this great turmoil in the Calradia continent safely and smoothly. That's all. ”
I said, "It's not a problem, and to put it bluntly, from the moment I was kicked out of Buyoune, I was a man without a homeland." The mountain people have accepted me, this is my hometown, the mountain people are my relatives, I can make my relatives live better, and there will be fewer deaths in the future, which is my duty. ”
Edgar said, "If only you could think like that." Tomorrow a new group of recruits will arrive, and they will be filled into the second squad. Now that there is no captain in the second squad, I hope you can take on the responsibility and train them all to be elite soldiers to defend the lives and property of our mountain people. Also, it's best to teach Pami how to train you, and if it works, let all of us do the same."
I nodded, "No problem, but the one to worry about is Mebius, I always feel like he's going to stumble on me." ”
Edgar sighed, "He may have misunderstood you, but I think he should know the stakes in the face of the big picture." ”
The next day, sure enough, another group of recruits came, and these young men were just as they had been when we first arrived, looking around and full of curiosity. Pami led them to me and said, "Emmons, these lads will be trained by you, and they will be trained one by one!"
I smiled and beckoned Caesar to take them down to inspect and confirm the appointment of the captain and the battle leader.
Pami patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You kid really has a hand, no wonder the leader values you so much, and personally appoints you as the captain of the battle, I think it is a sure thing to designate you as the captain of the second squad now." ”
I smiled politely and wanted to say that we would find a time to delve into the training of the troops. At that moment, a herald I had never seen before, wrapped in a black cloak, rode up to me: "There is a new appointment!"
I thought to myself, it seems that my resignation has come, so I respectfully bowed to my chest and waited for the herald to read out the letter of appointment.
"The second squad was formed at the beginning...... After investigation, screening, and ideological quality assessment...... Caron, the former infantry centurion of the first squad, is hereby appointed as the leader of the second squad!"
I jerked my head up, and my eyes almost burst into flames: "What did you say, who did you say was appointed as the leader of the second squad?"
Pami was also stunned in place, stunned for a long time, and said, "You read it wrong, will you read it again?"
A voice suddenly came from behind the herald: "That's right, Pami, Emmons, you heard it right, the leader of the second squad is my Caron!"
It was Cuarón, who dismounted from another group of horses and uncovered his grey cloak.
I stared at him coldly: "Who gave this order?"
Not to be outdone, Cuarón stared at me coldly: "The letter of appointment was issued by the new deacon of the mountain region, Lord Mebius, and there is also the countersignature of the deputy captain, Lord Tiktius, if you still don't believe it, you can go and ask me face to face! However, with your identity as an infantry centurion, I am afraid that you will not be able to see the two adults, and you will be kicked out." ”
I asked coldly, "What about the Edgar, why didn't he give the order?"
Cuaron smiled, "Edgar, I went out on business last night because of something. If you want to see him, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a little longer. ”
Pami immediately looked back at me, "Emmons, how can this be?"
I didn't speak, just snorted coldly: "This is a conspiracy!"
Caron smiled, "What can you do if it's a conspiracy? Caron beckoned, and two people came out from behind, both of whom were acquaintances: "This is the new pro-soldier centurion Barkley of the second squad, and the new archer centurion Jill of the second squad." Oh, and I forgot to tell you that the archers in your battle group have been picked by Jill to personally supervise them because of their poor quality, and you will soon have the privilege of seeing what real 'training' is, and Jill will give your men a taste of the sweetness. "It's getting late, and I can't see my fingers outside, and even the birds that often crow at night and don't know what they are obediently close their mouths. But from my vantage point, I could still see five poor figures running in laps on the playground in front of the dormitory.
Of course I know who those five wretched creatures are, Kress and his four men, who have been with me since I was the leader of the combat team.
Caesar came running to me more than once, and the last time, he even carried a fighting axe and was about to chop Gil with red eyes. But I didn't let him do that, and I even asked Acrylic and Jack to tie him up with Molodov, who was also red-eyed. I'm afraid these two impulsive guys will do something. In the training ground of the mountain people, the first iron rule is that there must be no fighting, especially no blood, and the first party to be killed is killed, otherwise he will be hanged. Now Kress and the others are just being punished for running, and it would be too bad to get two hangings for this.
It's just that Kress and they are obviously choking, from morning to now, not to mention that they have not eaten a mouthful, and they have not even drunk a sip of water. It's all punitive training, and Jill is going to run them to death.
But I'm sure Kress won't be tied down so easily. This guy may seem like a wooden nerd, but he is actually very alive inside. In fact, I can already see the clue, these five people have been running for almost a day, but they are a little out of breath. Under normal circumstances, according to the physical strength of this nerd, it is estimated that no matter what military law or not, he has long been lying on the ground and waiting to die.
After waiting for a while, Jill, who was the supervisor on the playground, couldn't stand it anymore and yawned to end the punitive training. At the moment when he waved his hand to disband, more than a dozen brothers from our side had already pounced, for fear that Kress would be tired and killed on the spot.
But when I ran up to Kressie, I saw that this guy seemed to have a very good face, his face was not red or breathless, and he was even sweating profusely. I was afraid that it would be a lack of sweat, so I hurriedly brought a can of broth that I had hidden in the afternoon. The five of them waved their hands one after another. Kress laughed, "I can't eat it, I really can't eat it." ”
I asked, "Can't eat, what have you eaten? Northwest Wind?"
Kress pulled out two small purple pills from his pocket: "This thing." ”
I picked up the pill and smelled it, and there was a fresh scent. I said, "What is this?"
Kress said proudly: "This is my latest invention, which is made of dozens of nutritious weeds, wild fruits, and wild vegetables, as long as one grain can satisfy hunger, increase physical strength, and stay awake, which is a must-have medicine for home travel and marching." ”
