Chapter 377: April Fool's Day Fight
Throughout the month of March, Spring Gensokyo is full of busy and peaceful scenes: human farmers are busy planting, weeding, and watering the fields to ensure a good return in the fall, while human hunters and guard knights are also hunting in the outer areas of the fields near the Enchanted Forest and the Lost Bamboo Forest, killing all the wild animals, magical beasts, and Monsters and monsters are driven out of the human realm, fishermen are about to enter a closed fishing season, waiting for the fish to fully reproduce before picking up their nets and fishing rods again, herders and horse traders are starting to graze their livestock in order to sell their livestock for a good price in the fall, especially horses of all breeds, the people of the Teutonic camp have always been very generous in buying these horses, even if they are dead, as long as the bones are intact and there is nothing wrong with them, they will also spend a lot of money to buy them back, which makes the horse dealers who have been thinking about reducing the number of horses to be bred smileand reconsider how to further expand the scale of farming.
Originally, the life in the world of Gensokyo was not much different from the so-called one and two settings, neither so feudal socialized nor so modern, at best, the Edo period was mixed with modern times, forming a variety of cultures, The strange and harmonious human settlements where customs and technology merged, but in recent years they began to overpopulate, but after the Teutons such as Von Longde strayed into Gensokyo and began to build their own camps on the uninhabited plain east of the Lake of Fog, the lives of all the human inhabitants of the human world changed to a greater or lesser extent, and the human world began to become more and more prosperous.
This is not unfounded nonsense: as more and more human inhabitants come to the Teutonic camps as workers and technicians to build Teutonic facilities and earn a lot of money, these human inhabitants with bulging wallets will spend their salaries on themselves and their relatives so that the standard of living of their families will be better than before, and in disguise stimulate the activity of all industries in the human world, so that people engaged in various industries such as herdsmen, fishermen, hunters, merchants, artisans, etc., can also earn a lot of money. At the same time, the Teutonian camp operated the jade farming industry and synthetic magic crystals for the human inhabitants and magicians in the human world, and also earned a lot of money and materials to build their own camps and pay the corresponding salaries to the Teutonic soldiers, human workers and technicians, and these groups had a variety of unique or common consumption objects, forming a staggered but interconnected economic circle. Let the people and non-people in this circle inevitably be affected and changed to a greater or lesser extent.
For the ordinary human inhabitants of the human world, the appearance of the formidable Teutonic dead in the Teutonic camp has made their original life more stable and comfortable. Originally, no matter what happened to them, they would hear that no matter what happened to them, they would hear that no one could find a job that could start a family or raise a family, so they could only go to the dispensable apprenticeship or one more farmer, and then they would worry about their livelihood every once in a while; Technicians and other Teutonian occupations were in demand, and some of them passed the test and became soldiers in the Teutonic camps, and they all received an enviable salary every month, even if it was a purely coolie worker. The monthly salary can support the whole family, not to mention the technicians and Teutonic soldiers who are in more important positions, and the money they get is a little rich in the village after a few months of accumulation, and it can be said that if it were not for the many jobs in the human world that are related to the life of human residents, God knows how many people would consider losing their current jobs and running to the Teutonic camp to find a job, but fortunately, Huiyin in the village is responsible for this aspect, and it will not develop to that point. Otherwise, Feng Longde would not be happy at all at that time, he would only be worried about how to settle such a group of people
In time. If it were to be more than ten years, decades, or hundreds of years, it would probably be gradually transformed into a part of the Teutonic camp, and the Teutonic camp at that time would not need to worry about too many things, and it would be able to recover a certain amount of strength.
It's just that Feng Longde, can he afford to wait? Not to mention that he, Caroline, Yarman, and other Teutonic deceased, if they really develop so slowly. It is estimated that Richard and Lilia, a half-human, half-dead and half-human, half-flame elemental, are nothing, and if Weisk, an out-and-out human, does not think about reincarnation or anything, he will only be able to witness all this in the form of a black-and-white photograph at that time

For Gensokyo, April 1st is an ordinary Friday, and you can do whatever you need to do on a daily basis, but for some of the outside humans who live in the human world and the youkai who have spent some time in the outside world. It's a day worth tossing and turning – yes, it's April Fool's Day.
There are many theories about the origin of April Fool's Day, but the most authoritative and authentic is that April Fool's Day originated in the 16th century when King Charles IX of France in Europe decided to adopt a new reform of the chronology - the Gregorian calendar (that is, the current common solar calendar), with New Year's Day as the beginning of the year, changing the previous April 1 as the beginning of the new year. However, some old-fashioned opponents of this reform still give New Year's gifts to each other and organize New Year's celebrations on this day, according to the custom of the old calendar. These old-fashioned practices led the reformers to ridicule them, and many clever and funny people gave them fake gifts on April 1, invited them to fake receptions, and called the deceived conservatives "April fools" or "hooked fish", and since then people have been fooling each other on April 1, which has become a popular holiday in France. In the early eighteenth century, the French April Fool's Day custom spread to England, and then to the United States by early British immigrants to the New World, and then to the rest of the world.
While April Fool's Day is indeed popular in the Outer World, it is not celebrated by many people in Gensokyo: after all, this is not a casual place to live in the Outer World. In the non-human race, that is, the goblins who are accustomed to pranks, will make more fun on this day, and the human inhabitants of the human world, that is, those outside humans, will celebrate in their own circles, even the Germanic human inhabitants who know about this kind of festival will basically not celebrate this kind of festival, and what to do or what to do - finally after spring sowing, and now it is time to weed and water, how can there be so much time to toss this
Zhu Henghong thinks. His own immediate boss chose this day to conduct a company confrontation exercise, I really don't know if it was unintentional or deliberate, he always had the illusion that he was not being played by his own boss, as if the things he said to himself at the beginning of this year were pure nonsense. But Zhu Henghong didn't say anything, after all, the company confrontation exercise was carried out, and it was not considered that his own boss had broken his promise, so he could only take one step at a time, if his own boss really made fun of himself, he was ready to pry the other three Boghall company captains and all the Boghall soldiers to make trouble
"The four company commanders, please step forward and start the lottery. "Inside the equestrian arena. One of the knights of the guard held the lottery holder in his hand and said loudly, "There is a pair of black lotters and a pair of white lots, and those who are drawn to match will be assigned to a group." ”
Walking out of the Boghall pikemen company to which he belonged, Zhu Henghong walked in front of the guard knight, took a random pick from his lottery holder after a Teutonic salute, flipped it over, and found that the tail was white, "Mine is a white sign." ”
Meanwhile. The other three company captains also walked up to the Guards Knight and each took one of their own lots. Then he also reported the color of the lottery he had drawn.
"Then, the Boghall Spearmen Company led by Captain Zhu will face off against the Boghall Rifle Company led by Captain Ernest Company, and the Boghall Spearmen Company led by Captain Abe will confront the Boghall Two-Handed Swordsmen Company led by Captain Helrington. After listening to the four company captains report the colors of their draws, the knights nodded and announced, and then recycled the lots into the lottery holders and left the equestrian arena, returning to the ranks of the knights of the guards who were not on duty and were watching the excitement in the audience.
After hearing his opponent, Zhu Henghong was surprised and delighted: he was naturally surprised that he and the others actually wanted to fight against the Boghall riflemen. If you are not careful, you will go directly to GG in the first game, and you must be cautious with 10,000 points; as for the joy, among the four Burghall company captains, in addition to Zhu Henghong, only Ernest, the captain of the Germanic Berghall Spearman Company with a very low sense of existence, is still a normal person, and the other two are obvious or philosophers ♂. If he really fought against them, Zhu Henghong felt that he didn't have the kind of great courage and thick nerves to engage in face-to-face hand-to-hand combat with the two perverted company captains, and God knows if hand-to-hand combat would turn into hand-to-hand ♂ combat
After learning about their respective groups, the four company captains returned to their respective companies and began to prepare and discuss countermeasures with their subordinates before the official start of the company confrontation exercise.
Sitting in the stands, Feng Longde drank a glass of cold white while scanning the Boghall companies prepared in the equestrian arena, and at the same time paying attention to the situation of Zhu Henghong and more than a dozen other corpse witch soldiers through soul connection, and then learned what Zhu Henghong's Boghall pikeman company and another Boghhall rifleman company were discussing now.
The reason why the company confrontation exercise was placed on April Fool's Day today is not to say that Feng Longde really planned to make such a big joke, because if he really dared to do this, then all the Boghall soldiers would make a fuss but he was no one else, so in line with the principle that if he didn't die, he wouldn't make fun of himself, and the main reason why he chose this day was naturally that today was Friday, which would neither delay the training of the Teutonic soldiers too much nor delay their rest day, which could be described as killing two birds with one stone.
In the Teutonic camps, whether they were Teutonic soldiers, knights of the guards, technicians, human workers, lich mages and all those who worked and served here, they worked from Monday to Friday, as was the custom of the outside world, and Saturday and Sunday were days of rest and relaxation, completely different from the situation in the human world, where they only rested on Sundays or even all week. Feng Longde knows very well that his daily work and life are very tiring, and everyone can't endure such a heavy job for a long time even if they get a decent salary, so there are tight days and there are times of relaxation, Teutonic soldiers and guard knights can rest and relax on weekends except for those who need to stand guard on duty, and the same is true for human workers and technicians, but those who are willing to continue to work overtime will have additional overtime costs, as for those lich mages, these deceased magicians are basically the same research madness as Caroline, to put it nicely, they combine interest and work, and to put it mildly, they are a group of workaholics, Like the Japanese in the last century, or similar to those scientists who forgot to sleep and eat, Feng Longde seriously doubted that even if there was only one soul fire left, they would continue to run at high speed and think about those high-level and high-precision things, until the only soul fire he had left was extinguished
Originally, Feng Longde planned to directly conduct company confrontation exercises on the training ground where the Boghall soldiers usually trained, but he soon found that the training ground could accommodate them for company confrontation exercises, but there was no corresponding auditorium, after all, this time all the Teutonic soldiers in the Teutonic camp were given an extra day off by him to watch the excitement and rest, so in the end they could only be pulled into the equestrian arena: the venue here is enough for 600 people to carry out large-scale tossing, and there are enough spectators to accommodate many people to watch the excitement and shout and cheer, and the most important thing is that you can sit here, and you can only stand on the training ground, squatting or lying on his stomach
Soon, Feng Longde saw the four Boghall companies each holding high their own flags, indicating that they were all ready.
"Then now the company confrontation exercise of the Boghall District Team has officially begun!" After seeing the flag flying high, Feng Longde stood up from his seat, and while he spoke, the two lich mages standing behind him silently made a few complicated cleanups, and after a sharp screech of strong wind, the amplification magic of the wind system took shape, allowing Feng Longde's voice to be clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone present through the amplification magic," In the first game, Zhu Henghong's Bogughhall Spearman Company confronted Wendell Ernest Burghall Rifle Company!" )
