Soon, Sui Xiong got the news from Wenner. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He had found an opportunity for the Merchant faction to win.

Sui Xiong hurried over, but what he saw was a scene that made him a little puzzled.

A group of men who looked less like soldiers than farmers were forming a neat array, using their spears to stab targets in front of them.

"Are you talking about this group of people?" Sui Xiong asked suspiciously.

"Yes, my priesthood tells me that they are the opportunity for the Merchant faction to win. Wenner said confidently.

Sui Xiong looked at it carefully and shook his head again and again: "I bet with you, the most experienced person among them will not kill more than a rooster in his life!"

Although he does not have the priesthood of war, he also has a deep knowledge of war, combat and other fields - after witnessing the desperate battle between the two main gods, especially the last sword of the human god Uther Jean, he has a deep sense of urgency, so after obtaining the inheritance of the previous sun god, the first thing he did to study was these things that can immediately improve his combat effectiveness.

With his ability, naturally there is no way to see whether to fight or not and the trend of victory and defeat on both sides of the war, but in the face of a group of soldiers, it is still easy to see how high their combat effectiveness is.

At this moment, in his opinion, the basic attributes of this group of soldiers are not bad, all of them are strong, and it is rare that everyone has good character and no bad habits, which is very good for the atmosphere of the army. However, the experience of this group of soldiers is generally very low, and there is no blood accumulated from fighting, and at a glance, it is estimated that they are still working as farmers or workers not long ago.

Such soldiers, Sui Xiong is really not optimistic about their combat effectiveness.

Wenner smiled slightly: "Killing less, it's not a problem. The key to the combat effectiveness of the armed forces lies in equipment and training, and actual combat is not so important. Anyway, as long as the hard power is reached, you will have actual combat experience after two battles, and this is actually the most worthless. ”

"Huh?" Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Aren't all powerful armies going through a hundred battles?"

"An army can be battle-hardened, but a soldier can't. The sword has no eyes, how many people in the world can survive a hundred battles?" Wenner smiled and shook his head, "That's why there is an important principle in the way of military training: focus on training." In general, problems that can be solved by training should not be solved by actual combat. ”

"I thought you were a staunch combatist. ”

"The staunch combatists have already killed me. ”

Sui Xiong laughed at what he said, and nodded again and again.

He didn't know the art of war, and he didn't have much experience in military training. Despite Crick's practice over the years, compared to Wenner, the true god of war, it is estimated that he is at the level of an amateur. Since Wenner thinks that these people can become stronger by training, then it should be so.

"But I still don't understand, they're only training now, isn't it too late?" Sui Xiong looked at it for a while and couldn't help but ask.

"It's not too late, don't say that there is no war yet, even if it is already war. At first, it will only be some small friction on the border, and when it develops into a full-scale war, it will be at least a few more years...... At the very least, there will be no real war between the North and the South in the next five years. Wenner's judgment of war is undoubtedly the most authoritative, and no one will question this, "Five years is enough time for them to grow into a reliable and strong army." ”

Sui Xiong fully understood and finally put his mind at ease.

They just watched the group of rookies who had just picked up arms not long after training, and after a while, Wenner suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, the appearance of this army also has a lot to do with you. ”

"Huh?" Sui Xiong wondered, "What does it have to do with me?"

"Don't you have a Holy Spirit named Crick Keane? This set of military training methods was first proposed by him, and several powerful nobles of the merchant faction have been looking for reliable training methods in view of the fact that they do not have a truly reliable army on their side. They searched and searched, and eventually found Keane. Wenner's oracle has just sent a report, that is, this matter, "In order to obtain the Keane family's training secrets, the merchants have paid a great price. ”

Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly checked the relevant situation through the clergy and believers stationed in Keen City.

The influence of the Void Mask Church in Keane's territory is very large, and the current Keane Baron Anna Keane is a follower of Sui Xiong, and the intended next generation of lords, her eldest son Louis Keane, is naturally also a member of the Void Mask Church, and is also a priest, although not even a mid-rank, but this identity itself is enough to tell the problem.

What's more, this time the matter of teaching the Keane family's military training method to the gold coin Federation merchant faction was done by Louis Keane himself.

About three months ago, that is, when there was still a lot of quarrel in the Great Council meeting, several powerful businessmen with more foresight had already sent people to Keane City to try to negotiate with the Keane family, wanting to learn the Keane family's training methods.

Unlike the average nobleman, the Keane family never recruits adventurers to reorganize into the army, nor does they recruit strong rogue villains and the like. They always recruited soldiers from among civilians of good white character, and then trained them over a long period of time to become loyal, brave, and tenacious soldiers.

Over the years, Baron Keane has clashed with other nobles around him on more than one occasion, and has used his army to fight on several occasions. In each battle, the army exhibited a very different style from ordinary armies - they were not much more powerful than the traditional armies, but they were exceptionally obedient and resilient. On more than one occasion, they fought valiantly with nearly 20% casualties, eventually defeating an enemy who was perhaps even stronger than them.

The Merchant faction was not short of money, but they had always lacked a truly reliable army. There is no doubt about the combat effectiveness of mercenaries, but they are not reliable enough. In normal times or when fighting a good fight, once you fall into adversity, you will often suddenly collapse on the whole front, like a wolf running to the pig.

Of course, there are loyal and reliable mercenaries, but even if the merchants are rich, they can't hire too many of them, because they are few in number.

For example, the famous "mountain people's halberders" are extremely loyal and reliable troops. But even if the merchant faction has recruited almost all the mercenaries on the continent that can be recruited over the years, they have not been able to gather enough of a thousand people.

If you want to fight a small friction on the border, this number is certainly enough, but if you want to completely turn around with the aristocratic faction and start a full-scale war, this number is not enough even for the vanguard army.

Therefore, the merchant faction paid special attention to the training methods of the Keane family, and after spending a lot of money and many political costs to get their hands on it, they adjusted it according to their actual situation, and then impatiently formed several experimental armies and began practical training.

What Sui Xiong and Wenner saw was one of them. (To be continued.) )
