Although February is over the first month and there is only exactly one week left, but for Feng Longde and others, many times it is the same thing to not be able to celebrate the festival, and basically it will not delay their respective actions. For example, one day in the first month of the new year is Valentine's Day, when Feng Longde and the others are still shopping in the real world of Tokushima City, they don't see Richard and Lilia, the two happy SM couples, coming over, one is the reason why the man is obviously still confused, and the other is that the members of the Iron and Blood Society can't stand this kind of behavior, even if Lilia really plans to pull Richard to do something that couples should do on Valentine's Day, God knows if Feng Longde and Weisk will directly gather all the members of the Iron and Blood Society plus the members of the FFF group of the friendship animation club to show this pair of crosses to the public

This week is called a busy one for Feng Longde and the others: Feng Longde doesn't need to say too much, he tosses his own training and camp affairs every day, and now he has another large-scale conscription and training of new soldiers, so he is busy these days; Weisk is the most relaxed of the three dead friends at present, he has a good foundation, and physical training is easy for him, so the knights of the guard quickly activated the training mode unique to the deceased for him, resulting in his daily morning fatigue is not lower than Feng Longde, It can be said that the Boghall soldiers are abused every day to play with the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers, but once they are in a hurry, Weisk will be completely dumbfounded when they pull out the guy, and the Guard Knights are not all beaten in this kind of close combat, so Weisk also learned some unique fighting techniques during the Teutonic Empire under the guidance of the Guard Knights, and the use of cold weapons also began to enter formal training. After all, there are few times when you need hand-to-hand combat in these years, and you can only say that you will not be stupid when you lose your weapon; Richard's words are more hard, and the physical fitness of this product is too problematic, even if the recruits who have just been recruited from the world don't dare to say that they are playing like playing when they run a thousand meters, but they will not have leg cramps directly after running like Richard, and it is even more miserable when practicing equestrianism. Because he has a lot of wrong actions and behaviors when riding a horse, he has fallen off the horse, and even twice almost let the war horse kick him away, but although he is really untrained in these two aspects, but Richard's observation and learning in the military factory is very smooth, after all, handmade is what he is best at in addition to hacking skills, so during this time Richard can be said to be painful and happy, every morning he was abused, and in the afternoon he went to observe and learn, and even tried it himself occasionally, for which he did not go to the V villa to rub the net; , as the only woman in the two-goods foursome group (this point Feng Longde and others said noncommittal). Her physical training is decent, and her equestrian training is very relaxed, the main thing every day is to go to Caroline to receive the guidance of Feng Longde's sister, and the rest is to occasionally ride a war horse around the Lake of Mist, and even Richard can't pull him over to ride a horse with him - this has forced him to spend all his time in the military factory except for eating, sleeping, going to the toilet, rubbing the net, and playing games, so Feng Longde and Weisk both ridiculed him for whether he simply married a machine tool as a wife

The pace of life in the Teutonic camps has always been like this, everyone has their own things to do, work and hobbies are intertwined, and it can be said that the overall rhythm is also tight: the Teutonic camp is still in a state of large-scale production and construction. Now, because of the large number of events in the enchantment rifts that Yakumo said about the upcoming expansion, the army is once again expanding and producing new weapons and armor, so basically no one can be idle. Even the workers who came from the world have begun to work overtime these days, and unless the family money has to be spent, there is no one who does not give face to the Teutonic camp generous enough overtime pay.

Even though the human world was facing the arrival of the spring sowing period in the near future, Hui Yin had already learned about the relevant situation from Yakumo Zi, so she did not stop Feng Longde and the knights of the guard from recruiting troops, and could only sigh helplessly: she had also experienced a period of large-scale enchantment cracks in Gensokyo before. At that time, it was not only Yakumo Purple and her Shikijin Yakumo Blue and Hakurei's shrine maidens who were busy working everywhere, but there were also several times when Huiyin had to work together to solve these problems for the sake of the village, such as the large-scale influx of monsters and monsters into Gensokyo, or the abnormal climate in Gensokyo caused by the rift in the enchantment, etc., so Huiyin did not block the actions of Feng Longde and the guard knights too much, but only reminded them not to recruit too many people. Otherwise, if the spring sowing period is really delayed, not only will the world be affected, but all the places that need to buy food from the world will not be able to escape, and it will not be impossible to cause a small-scale famine.

After hearing Huiyin's reminder and admonition, Feng Longde and the guards knights finally discussed, spent some money and precious metals to recruit six hundred people from the world, and then no more recruits: six hundred people is the maximum limit that Huiyin can allow after deliberately loosening his mouth, because if more people are recruited, the spring sowing will definitely be affected to a certain extent, and Huiyin also instructed Feng Longde and the guards knights to hope that this group of recruited people can come back during the summer farming season, or let the same number of workers who went to work in the Teutonic camp come back temporarily to help, otherwise it will also affect the harvest this autumn。

From this, we can see how much influence the actions of the Teutonic camp had on the earth. In the past, it can be said that the human world began to enter a state of overpopulation, but after Feng Longde and others fell into Gensokyo and began to take root on the spot, it led to the gradual outflow of a large number of human residents to the Teutonic camp, which made the population in the human world begin to be a little insufficient, but this can't be helped, who knows that the Teutonic camp is not worthy of the name at all, and the scale of Ya's construction is not at the camp level at all, but to the extent that a giant fortress is attached to a large city

Feng Longde also had no way to deal with this, in the spirit of not being afraid of 10,000 in case of being afraid of what happened, and he was not without the spirit of facing the situation of 10,000 enemy troops with his army, he did not intend to let go of the 600 people he recruited, and when the time came, it would be better to sacrifice the overall construction speed a little and let a small group of workers go back to help the farmers when the farm was busy in the summer; as for these 600 people, it was nothing. Judging from the current good financial situation of the Teutonic camp, it is not too much to worry about, and the army is not just to be pulled out to fight and loot the enemy, and it can also generate a huge amount of financial revenue.

The vast majority of the 600 people currently recruited from the human world are still Germanic human inhabitants. Among them were also good boys of other nationalities, and Von Longde and the knights of the Guards organized them into five detachments of one hundred and twenty men, and prepared to train them into Acropolis soldiers characteristic of the Teutonic Empire.

The Acropolis Legionnaires were the same urban militia army as the Boghall Army during the Teutonic Empire, but the latter was mainly used as a combat force and had a variety of troops, while the Acropolis Legionnaires were all heavily armed sword and shield soldiers, whose main responsibilities were city defense and responsible for the security of the city to which they were stationed. It can be said that whether it is defending the city or attacking, they are a well-deserved mainstay on the battlefield.

Unlike the Boghall troops, which were both offensive and defensive, the main role of the Acropolis soldiers on the battlefield was to resist the enemy's flood of infantry and light cavalry for a long time, and as for resisting the heavy cavalry, it was the work of the Boghall pikemen, and they did not need to bother; in this consideration, the Acropolis soldiers were better protected than their colleagues in the Boghall troops, and they generally wore upper body plate armor while wearing heavy chain mail, which did not affect their flexibility and greatly increased their survival rate on the battlefield。 Moreover, they were armed with a large, heavy tower shield that was enough to be a man tall instead of the fan shield in the hands of the Boghall soldiers, and could form a turtle-shaped formation with almost no dead ends. Basically, as long as they weren't unlucky enough to be bombarded with heavy weapons, there were few ranged weapons that could break down their defenses.

The reason why the Boghall unit is not equipped with half-body plate armor like the Acropolis legionnaires is because any Boghall soldier generally needs to carry more guys regardless of the type of arm, and if he wears half-body plate armor, he is not an experienced veteran and easily feels in the way, so only individual soldiers or companies who have experienced several bloody battles and become veterans will get the corresponding fitting half-body plate armor, so sometimes the elite degree and combat power level of this company can be seen from the overall wearing of half-body plate armor of a Boghall company。 The more you can fight, the higher the rate of half-body plate armor, like the Boghall district team under Feng Longde's current command, it is obviously still a level with a long way to go, and it is estimated that it will be possible to start producing and issuing half-body plate armor to the corresponding soldiers after a few more large-scale battles.

To put it mildly, the Acropolis legionnaires were better than the Boghall troops in armor and shields. The only weapons they needed to carry were three things: a Romulodan dagger nearly a meter long, a one-handed mace, and two heavy javelins two meters long. This is not only to make it easier for the Acropolis soldiers to wear half-body plate armor, but the main reason is naturally that their fighting methods are similar to the ancient Romulodus legions long before the establishment of the Teutonic Empire, or the ancient Roman legions in human civilization in this era. Under normal circumstances, each Acropolis legionnaire detachment will be lined up in a 6x20 phalanx, and the distance between the two is about two meters (one reason is that the large and heavy tower shield held by each Acropolis soldier takes up some space in itself, and the other reason is that the Acropolis legionnaires who have fought in the first row for a period of time can be replaced at any time, leaving space for this), leaving a distance of nearly forty meters or so between each detachment, which is almost equivalent to the space that accommodates the passage of a troop, so as to facilitate the movement of the overall formation at any time。

The distance between each Acropolis soldier is two meters, which is carefully calculated and tested in actual combat: this moderate distance can ensure that the Acropolis soldiers can freely wield their weapons and shields, and will not allow the enemy to rush in, and the comrades behind them can rush out of the front line at any time to throw heavy javelins at the enemy, and if the Acropolis soldiers in the first row are injured or tired, they can retreat from the interval and be replaced by their colleagues in the next row, thus ensuring frontal combat effectiveness, while other enemies or the Teutonic Empire's own troops did not have this replacement mechanism at that timeThe soldiers of the first platoon could only make room for their comrades in the next platoon from being tired to being wounded until they died in battle, and they had no chance of recovering their combat effectiveness at all, thus greatly increasing a lot of unnecessary casualties.

The ability to replace combatants at a time when their overall combat effectiveness begins to decline is the biggest secret of why the Acropolis soldiers were able to stand side by side with the equally disciplined and tactically diverse Boghall troops, because it fits the curve of combat effectiveness and casualty rate very well - maximum combat effectiveness is always reflected when the casualties are minimal, and vice versa, when the soldiers begin to get tired and wounded, the effective combat effectiveness in this situation will be the least and the casualties will be the greatest. This method of replacing personnel is not very obvious in the reduction of combat strength loss in one or two people, but once a certain number is accumulated, there will be a situation in which the enemy has suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and the casualties of one's own side are insignificant or even unbelievable to the layman, which shows the terrible nature of this kind of replacement phalanx tactic.

Therefore, the Acropolis soldiers are different from the Boghall troops that are suitable for various battlefield situations, they belong to the backbone of the battlefield in the urban militia formation of the Teutonic Empire, which is the most needed force for von Longde at present.
