Chapter 227: The Flag Captain of the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers
It was clear that the Teutonic Tomahawk Ranger was the first of the recruits to successfully complete this exercise, and he did quite well: so that when he circled his horse's head for most of the circle to the starting point, almost all of the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers gave him a loud cheer, and even the few Guards Knights, whose faces were obscured by their barrel helmets, seemed quite pleased with him.
Amid the enthusiastic cheers of his companions and the approving gazes of the knights of the Guard, the Teutonic Tomahawk Ranger who had successfully achieved his training goal ran back with his spear raised in the air, as if he had just successfully knocked his opponent away at a knight's competition, as if such an action had brought him a good feeling.
When the Teutonic Tomahawk Ranger returned to the queue, the knight of the Guard, who had previously introduced them to training and techniques, rode up and shouted to them, "This recruit has completed this morning's training, so he is now free to rest for the period before the training begins in the afternoon, and the rest of you will be in good spirits as long as you have also achieved your training goals!"
"Yes, Lord Knight!" the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers shouted in response, looking elated.
The Teutonic Tomahawk Ranger bowed slightly to several knights of the Guards, and after making a Teutonic salute skillfully, he was about to ride his horse in the direction of the King's stables, when he saw a knight on a tall horse staying there in the direction he was about to leave, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
"Hello, Lord Knight?" the Teutonic Tomahawk Ranger looked at Von Rond curiously, and just after saying his greeting, he froze, "Demon Ring Wings? Not the black goat horns on the helmet of Captain Yarman of the King's Guard in the Teutonic camp?
"Von Longde, the immortal king that the knights of the Guards and the soldiers of Boghall talked about. That's me. Feng Longde tapped on his Demon Ringed Barrel Helmet, his voice dull through the obstruction of the metal helmet, "Well done, recruit, you can quickly master the trick of how to accurately hit the target with a spear." ”
Hearing von rond admit his own identity, it wasn't just this Teutonic Tomahawk Ranger. Even the other Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers began to stir up: whether it was the first batch of recruited soldiers, they had all seen Feng Longde's unique dress with no flesh at all at the recruitment site, so after this Teutonic Tomahawk Ranger found out the identity of this hoplite knight, all the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers were a little excited.
"Jun, Your Majesty, Your Majesty" looked at Feng Longde in front of him, the Teutonic Tomahawk Ranger was obviously a little stammering, and at the same time he made a Teutonic military salute to him again, but this time the salute was obviously a little slower, "To, to, to, salute"
"Don't be so nervous, I won't eat you again. Feng Longde looked speechlessly at the Teutonic Tomahawk Ranger who had just flaunted that he was the first to complete the training maneuvers perfectly, but was now stunned when he saw him. The heart said that the most excited one of your companions was also a little glazed-eyed, and he didn't become your virtue, "Recruit, what's your name?"
"Li Sa, my surname is Li Mingsa, Your Majesty the King. After finding that Feng Longde was quite easy-going except that his voice sounded cold, Li Sa straightened his waist and replied slowly.
"'Li Sa'? this is a Chinese name, right?" Feng Longde looked suspiciously at Li Sa's face that was tightly covered by a Charrell helmet and cotton chain mail mask, and what he could confirm was that the Teutonic Tomahawk Ranger's eyes were the same blue pupils as his own. He's never heard of anyone of Chinese descent who can have pupils of any other color than black," Li Sa. Take off your cotton chain armor mask. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, as you wish. After a moment's hesitation, Li Sa bluntly pulled down his cotton chain armor mask, revealing his face.
After Li Sa took off the cotton chain armor mask, Feng Longde found that this was a young man with a small upturned nose and a slightly pointed chin. Although he didn't take off the Charrell helmet on his head, Feng Longde could still see the golden hair swaying from time to time on the edge of the chainmail bandana and cotton armor lining in the helmet, and the relatively slender neck under his face.
After a few brief glances. Feng Longde can completely confirm that this is a Germanic young man, and it doesn't match the name he said, and uh, this Germanic recruit looks more delicate, anyway, there are not no good-looking men among the many northern peoples in Europe, but why does this voice still sound a little pleasant, and it is more neutral style?
"As the saying goes, boys and girls are the masters, lewd and cheap, this shouldn't be that kind of person, right?" Feng Longde looked at Li Sa's face that was already a mother, and was a little speechless, if it weren't for the kind of heroic temperament that he exuded after a period of training, he really thought that this guy was a useless little white face.
"Your blonde hair and blue eyes have no relationship with the Nordic people, even if you are not a purebred Germanic person, but you tell me that your name is Li Sa, a Chinese name?" Feng Longde said helplessly, and then took off his demon ring-winged barrel helmet, "Do you have any explanation for this?"
Feng Longde's question did not make Li Sa dumb, the latter looked at Feng Longde with a smile, and the way of smiling a little wickedly made Feng Longde always think of the occasional evil smile of Richard's guy: "Please give me all due respect, Your Majesty, your name is Feng Longde, right? Although the name Feng Longde coincides with part of the name of a famous field marshal, and the name 'Longde' itself is also a German name, this is also a name that tends to be Chinese, right? There are also many meanings of the word 'Longde'. ”
Li Sa's direct call by Feng Longde's name made the guard knights a little dissatisfied, plus he also ridiculed the many meanings of Feng Longde's name, so those guard knights directly burst into flames, Feng Longde could feel from the soul connection that their soul fire suddenly flourished a lot, obviously because of excessive mood swings.
In the soul connection, let those guard knights calm down for a while, Feng Longde looked at Li Sa with interest. He asked, "I do have this name, but I lived in the outside world for seventeen years before I came to Gensokyo, so naturally there are some historical reasons why I am named like this, so what about you?" As a Germanic inhabitant of the human world, why do you choose a name that is close to the pronunciation of German, but it is estimated that the writing must be able to be written in Chinese characters? I am very interested in this matter, can you tell me about it?"
"Actually, it's very simple, you should also be from Tokushima City, Qinghai Province, China, right? And a German with Chinese nationality?" asked Li Sa with a grin.
This made Feng Longde very surprised: "That's right. I did use to be a native of Tokushima City, etc., you wouldn't mean it."
"Yes, I used to be from Tokushima City, and I'm also German. Li Sa crooked the corners of his mouth, "I fell into this place called Gensokyo when I was almost nine years old, and I have been living here for more than seven years, it should be more than seven years, right? ”
"Fell into Gensokyo when he was nine years old?!" Feng Longde gasped, Gensokyo was a dangerous situation for ordinary humans, he couldn't imagine how Li Sa, who was still a nine-year-old kid at the time, survived until now after being separated from Gensokyo. "Then it's not easy for you kid to survive until now, and you're about sixteen or seventeen years old now?"
"Almost, I think I'm sixteen years old, I've been here for a long time, and I don't pay too much attention to how old I am. Li Sa replied nonchalantly, and then supported his Charrell-style helmet with his empty right hand, "This time I heard that you are recruiting soldiers here, and you have food and shelter and salary, and it just so happens that I can also ride a horse." Barely able to make a little fighting, he came here to be a Teutonic Tomahawk Ranger. It can be a little more than the salary of a Boghall soldier. ”
"Sixteen or seventeen came to us as a soldier?!" Feng Longde was taken aback, and then turned to the knights of the guard, "This is obviously a minor! How did you pick it in the first place, etc., I remember that I read the conscription form, and there is no age restriction on it!
"It depends on the age. Several of the Guards knights looked at each other for a moment, and one of the Guards knights said suspiciously, "According to imperial tradition and law. This Li Sa's age fully meets the criteria for recruitment, and he has more combat experience and better comprehension than other recruits of the same period, so why not recruit him as a Teutonic soldier?"
Now it was Feng Longdemeng's turn: "Meet the criteria for conscription? Then tell me, what is the standard for the definition of male and female adulthood in the Teutonic Empire, and what is the age standard for soldiers to enlist?"
The knight of the guard looked at his immortal king strangely, and said slowly, "It began in the classical era before the establishment of the Teutonic Empire. It is a very common tradition for boys to reach adulthood at the age of fourteen and girls to reach adulthood at the age of twelve, and after the establishment of the Teutonic Empire and its inclusion in the imperial code, it was still the first immortal king, Herman, who presided over the writing, your majesty, don't you know?"
Feng Longde: "You also know what my situation is, don't mention this stubble! By the way, does the adult standard stipulated in the Imperial Code mean that you can legally get married?"
"That's right!" the knights of the guard looked at Feng Longde in confusion, they wondered why the Immortal King couldn't remember such simple common sense, "This is something that can no longer be common sense in the Empire, Your Majesty, is there any fuss about this?"
Feng Longde: "Lying in a big groove!!"
For the Teutonic Empire's standards of adulthood so frenzied, Feng Longde said that he was convinced: Regardless of whether it is a fourteen-year-old boy or a twelve-year-old girl, this is definitely still in the category of Zhengtai and Lori in modern society, and in that prehistoric era, it belongs to the category of adults who have just stepped into the category of adults with one foot, but it is not surprising to think about it carefully, in that war-torn era, no matter which nation is male or female, it must mature as soon as possible, so it is not surprising that boys and girls enter the ranks of adults faster than humans in modern societyFar from mentioning, in medieval Europe, the children of the commoners had to start working at a very young age, and the children of the nobility had to be trained at a very young age to be a lady or a knight.
In addition to these, Feng Longde complained frantically in his heart: the standard of adulthood is so low, isn't it true that the Teutonic Empire has made it clear that Lolita and Zhengtai are legalized, this is simply the paradise that otaku and otaku dream of
Speechless is speechless, but Feng Longde did not think of amending this law, whether it was out of his own consideration as an immortal king or out of his own otaku interests: although it seems inhumane to allow boys who are not yet adults to join the army and fight according to modern social standards, after all, the Teutonic Empire, as a country that once unified the entire earth for a long time, still maintains this tradition, so there must be something worth preserving this tradition, so Feng Longde has no motive to change.
Then Feng Longde learned about Li Sa's whole person from the knights of the guards, and was surprised to find that this Li Sa really had two brushes: as a sixteen or seventeen-year-old half-grown boy compared to his companions who were already more than twenty years old, not to mention his superb riding skills, he was also among the best in solo combat in ordinary combat skills training, and he was personally quite popular among this group of Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers, as evidenced by the enthusiastic cheers he could get after completing the training goal first.
After clarifying Li Sa's situation and making sure that he knew it in his heart, Feng Longde looked at Li Sa and asked solemnly: "Li Sa, can you be a good Teutonic Tomahawk Ranger?
Li Sa was a little confused by Feng Longde's sudden and serious inquiry, but he quickly replied seriously: "Your Majesty, I can be a good Teutonic Tomahawk Ranger and follow my commander and your orders at any time. ”
"Good. Feng Longde nodded with satisfaction, then turned his horse's head to all the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers, and shouted loudly: "Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers, from today onwards, Li Sa is the flag captain of your flag team, that is to say, he is your commander!"
After a moment of silence, all the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers cheered again. (To be continued.) )
