Chapter 36 Training Camp
The girl's scolding sounded in the scorching sun, the sweat of the soldiers spilled on the runway, and suddenly, a figure stumbled to the ground.
"Stand up stupid pig!
"Phew...... Huh...... Phew, no...... I can't do it......"
The man fell to the ground, panting and exhausted.
"With this perseverance, do you want to protect your family! Once the city is attacked, the children of a soft-boned wife like you will be the first to become minced meat in the stomach of a monster!"
"Damn, damn it——!"
The girl's voice made the man's mind seem to recall the tragic scene of his wife and daughter being attacked, and instantly made his limbs surge with strength, struggling to get up from the ground, and re-carrying the sandbag weighing 20 kilograms back to the runway.
And the teammates beside him also lent a helping hand, and their sweaty bodies supported each other and moved forward.
"Listen, you stupid pigs! My pleasure is to see you look like you're dying and struggling! And ten laps! Dare to be lazy, and the whole team will cancel tonight's meal!"
“AYE-MADAM——!”
After two weeks, the physical training is still going on without interruption.
However, until now, they were still in the initial stage of developing physical fitness, and Sophia did not teach them any combat skills.
Just like the previous two weeks, this week's main menu is still about training, but the actual breakdown has changed dramatically.
Compared to the previous training methods that focused on individual physical improvement, the current menu also focuses on strengthening the awareness and spirit of teamwork.
It does not mean that the best soldiers can be called an ideal army if they are gathered together, but the army is a whole, and the concept of "group" must be implanted in the heart of each soldier.
At first glance, the menu for group training is far more demanding than individual training.
To put it bluntly, this is not training that can be overcome by individual ability alone. Teamwork becomes essential. And the purpose of training is to make everyone understand this.
In fact, even the marines of country A, who used to be on Earth, had at least half of the recruits fail to see through this and have to withdraw from training halfway.
As far as the results are concerned, the performance of the uncles of the garrison is quite satisfactory as far as Sophia is concerned. It should be said that he is worthy of being a rural townsman who has a deep affection for the first time.
In the difficult training, the soldiers had to help each other, and the garrison members naturally began to support each other. Until the end, one by one successfully completed each training.
It is not so much that they are clever enough to see through the essence of training, but rather that it is a virtue and simplicity that belongs to the border dwellers.
The so-called military, in order to carry out orders quickly and effectively, and the ability to cooperate with each other is regarded as the most basic and important quality.
In short, if you can do this successfully, the basic physical training course will almost come to an end.
Merely...... There were some by-products of the training that annoyed Sophia.
For example, after the end of the training -
"Instructor Sophia!
"Ah?...... Well, everyone's worked hard......"
In her personal time after training, Sophia does not use the attitude of a devil instructor to deal with everyone.
"Instructor, please allow us to escort you back to your home!"
There are more than a dozen guards in front of him, and they are all uncles with Chinese faces.
"Eh, I can go back by myself, don't bother......"
"No, please let me be a close escort!"
Sophia instinctively showed a timid expression, and the sharp contrast between her pitiful appearance and the training made these guys in front of her give some kind of dangerous warm eyes to the eight-year-old girl.
In fact, in secret, they also secretly formed an unknown organization called the "Young Goddess Guard".
Among them, who does the "young goddess" refer to, naturally there is no need to specifically name it.
"That...... There really isn't any. ”
"No, please be sure! Let you walk alone on the road at dusk, I really don't feel at ease!"
"Don't ......"
"yes, yes, what if you're in danger!"
"Don't rely on ......
"yes, yes, what if you fall!"
"Don't lean over ......"
The guards in their prime pulled their loud voices and forced their faces in front of Sophia.
Every time they took a step, Sophia had to take a step back, until they stuck to the wall and could not retreat, completely blocked by the wall composed of Chinese characters.
"What if you encounter a pervert!!"
"I said, don't lean in! you're more like a pervert!"
Finally, Sophia, who couldn't stand it, turned around and gave an upward kick, sweeping all the chins of all the Chinese characters in one go, knocking them all to the ground.
However, the terrible thing is still to come—
"It hurts!!But this kick is so good!!Long live the instructor!!"
"Oh~~What a reward~~Instructor's heel~~!"
The sturdy men with national faces, tears shining in the corners of their aching eyes, rolling on the ground with their chins in their hands, but their faces were full of joy.
The toughness of Xiaoqiang, these can also be said to be the results of training, but the resistance of several of them has reached the outrageous level of bandits, although Sophia has mercy on her feet, but her kicks still have enough power to make adults faint.
But the men came back to life as soon as they saw it, crawling up to the ground with amazing momentum and trying to hold Sophia's shoes.
As if reflexively, Sophia lifted her leg and stomped on the approaching face of the national character fiercely.
"Ah~~ah~~ step on two more feet of the instructor~~!"
"Okay, I'm so envious, bastard! Instructor, please reward me with two feet!"
"Look, see it, black, black!"
To be honest, it's disgusting...... Even if the 'man in black' had seen a lot of all kinds of madmen and madmen, there was no doubt that these would be ranked at the highest level.
Their fanaticism, as if they were some kind of new cult worshipping its leader, made Sophia physically frightened, and was forced to activate [Shadow Fighting Qi] to escape from their clutches at speeds beyond the speed of sound.
Just like that, Sofia has become an icon in the Celian garrison.
-----
Week 3 –
Finally, the training course of the garrison entered the combat drill.
Sophia's tutorial here is modeled after the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP), and today a special guest was invited to make a cameo, Alice El Cruznier.
"Ha, haha, uncles ...... early Today I am here to help teach you the art of martial arts, so please take care of your uncles. ”
"Dog mongrels! Sister Alice has taken out her precious time to take care of you stupid pigs! Cheer me up and get results! I'll take care of the lazy dog stuff myself!
“AYE-MADAM!!!”
"Ahh......h
The whole line of guards in front of her, the steely response momentum, made Alice a little nervous.
Compared with these, what surprised her even more was her sister, seeing Sophia's appearance of not hesitating and rude, as a sister, she couldn't help but worry about her future as a noble daughter.
Combat training does not make the guards fight each other as soon as they get started. Before the actual training begins, they must be shown basic postures and techniques.
And this is also the reason why Alice was specially brought in today, to put it bluntly, she is here to be Sophia's "target" to show her mutual shooting skills.
The so-called "target" is not just a matter of being beaten, how to counterattack, defend, and respond after being attacked is also a compulsory course in melee combat.
Only opponents who are close to each other can drill the ideal quality. Although Sophia's skills can reach the height of her subordinates' mercy, in terms of similar physique, Alice is undoubtedly the most suitable partner.
Of course, there is a second reason, Sophia wants to avoid excessive physical contact with these team members as much as possible, and the thought of the extremely refreshing intoxicated expressions that this group of uncles will show after being beaten over, Sophia feels mentally unbearable.
"First of all, the basic stance ——!"
Sophia gently bends her knees, shifts her weight forward, and gently clenches her hands into fists and extends them naturally.
"Look! Relax your fists with a soft feeling, but clench them quickly the moment you hit them!"
As she spoke, Sophia demonstratively struck out two straight right punches, the posture was standard and full of power, but the slight swaying of the two ponytails made the fists less domineering, but with some love.
"The means of attacking the opponent are not limited to boxing. You can also use a hand knife to quickly and accurately strike your opponent in the throat. There is also the bottom of the palm, which has a power similar to that of boxing without worrying about broken fingers. The elbows and knees are the most powerful parts of the human body. In addition to this, all parts of the body can be used as offensive or defensive weapons, and from now on, I will teach you how to use these methods in the same way! Don't rely on swords and spears, a true warrior can kill the enemy even with his bare hands!"
Then, with a serious (somewhat excited) look, the guards carefully observed and studied the exchange of blows between Sophia and Alice.
In fact, Alice only learned the moves temporarily, but fortunately, she has a very high level of martial arts literacy, and she can play these basic movements in a few moments.
In the field of military combat skills, there are in fact no clear factions, which can be summed up as nothing more than - strikes, throwing skills and joint skills.
Sophia's approach is to teach everyone these basic skills step by step, and how high they can finally reach depends on the progress they make in practice. With the current situation of the empire, I am afraid that the day of actual combat against people will not be too far away.
So, after watching Alice and Sophia's drill, the guards worked in pairs and imitated them and began to practice taking turns to fight each other. Sophia and Alice make rounds and correct the mistakes and deficiencies of the guards.
Unlike Sophia's tough attitude, Alice spits out a soft voice during this period, and her attitude is both polite and gentle.
At this moment, Alice, a gentle and healing lady, won an excellent impression on the guards.
Among them, only Charlie, the deputy captain of the garrison, vaguely knew Alice's true strength. That night, he witnessed with his own eyes that in the dining room of the Lord's Palace, the "claw marks" that seemed to be slapped by a giant dragon came from the hands of the seemingly amiable aristocratic daughter in front of him.
In the evening, the two sisters walked home on their way. The street lamps along the road illuminate the originally dim township road.
The townspeople, who had been trembling at this, had become accustomed to the various magic guides that had been erected on the streets.
Not only street lights, but also many other facilities are gradually being accepted by the public.
The townspeople, who had been puzzled by these inexplicable devices, were now grateful to Ariza after tasting their convenience.
However, since the night of the knight's attack, Elize's progress in transforming the town has been put on hold. This is because the most fundamental energy problem has not yet been solved.
Alize, who has regained her senses, will certainly not continue the rhythm of quick success. She did not abandon her plan to modernize the city of Celia, but proceeded more steadily and in a more down-to-earth manner.
"When my father comes back, he will probably be shocked. ”
"yes, yes, I don't know when the computer and the Internet of my dreams will be ready~"
"Sister Alice, it's a bit too cheeky to sit back and enjoy it, and you should do a little bit of effort. ”
"Uh...... I said, little sister, I think, have you been getting more and more strict with me lately......?"
"I'm explaining the facts, that kind of situation happened before, and it was caused by my sister's willful way to put the responsibility and work on the shoulders of Sister Eliza. ”
The merciless criticism from her sister made Alice's cheeks run down with sweat.
"What, dear Sophia...... Are you mad at me......
"No, I wasn't mad at my sister's childish plan on a whim. ”
"Aha...... Anyway, sorry ......!"
Alice laughed awkwardly and apologized.
In fact, thinking about it in hindsight, Alice soon realized that her plan was child's play at all, it was like using the mentality of playing krypton gold mobile games to engage in city defense construction, and Sophia, as an expert, would be dissatisfied with this, I am afraid it is inevitable.
"It's just that I'm a little worried about Sister Eliza, who might be tired from it again. ”
"Uh......"
Being said like this, Alice's heart slammed, and she couldn't help but worry, after all, Alize had just had a criminal record not long ago, and she forgot to sleep and eat in order to satisfy some of her unrealistic wishes.
"Also, Sister Alice...... You've been a little weird lately. ”
As she spoke, Sophia cast a suspicious look.
"Eh, me, what's wrong with me, my body is good, my food is fragrant! I'm in such good shape that I can be unmatched by tens of thousands of monsters, right?"
"Sister...... Lately, you've been running out of town alone in the afternoon, what are you doing?"
Alice's sneaky moves, of course, could not escape the eyes of top informants.
"Ah...... Ah, that's ...... I made friends, so ......"
Alice's stuttering appearance made Sophia even more confused.
"Friend, in the middle of nowhere?"
"Hahaha......"
Alice scratched the back of her head and tried to get away with laughter, which made Sophia sigh helplessly and said.
"Don't get me wrong, sister, you have your freedom, and of course I won't follow you...... With your current skills, it's unlikely that you'll encounter any danger, but don't be confident......"
"Got it, got it~~"
For her sister's advice, Alice just sent it casually in a tone as if she was afraid of trouble.
This instigated Sophia's uneasiness even more, but she was not good at words, but she didn't know how to persuade her sister.
In Sophia's opinion, although Alice is powerful, it is accompanied by a kind of sloppiness that makes people unable to let go of their hearts. She can now be called an "athlete" at best, not a real "warrior", and Alice lacks the "something" that is most important to devote herself to the battlefield. And sooner or later, she will pay a heavy price for this sloppiness of herself.
If it was a "man in black" in his previous life, I am afraid that he would not hesitate to abandon a willful and reckless wingman like Alice in order to eradicate the uneasy elements in the battle.
However, Sophia could not watch her sister in danger, and she could only secretly reaffirm her determination in her heart - no matter what danger she encountered, I would protect her.
Celeia's seemingly peaceful situation now makes Sophia's mind uneasy, because the sense of smell of a top warrior is constantly warning that it is now—just the calm before the storm.
Due to the fact that the information and intelligence at this stage are too thin, even with first-class intelligence analysis and prediction capabilities, Sophia cannot predict what may happen next.
But only uneasy feelings slowly spread in her heart.
