Section 8: This Is My Soldier?
The orderly helped Townsend get armor and other equipment back, and when the commander was in agony to eat, he crouched in the corner of the tent, and worked hard to polish every place that should be shiny.
"How do you wear this?" Townsend picked up a part of his leather armor and found that he couldn't figure it out anyway, "Come and help." โ
"Yes, sir. The orderly wiped his hands stiffly before he came over, first helping Townsend to put on a layer of linen lining, then one by one the leather armor parts, and finally connecting the various parts with wide and heavy metal buckles and belts.
Townsend estimated that the metal veneer on the surface of the entire leather armor belt weighed more than twenty pounds, and the wearing time would not be less than ten minutes, which was really cumbersome and cumbersome.
"Wearing armor, Chief Townsend is really imposing!" said the orderly nicknamed Monkey happily: "We have been looking forward to a serious officer to be the captain for a long time! Sir, you don't know, if no officer is willing to come, we won't even have enough to eat!"
"You are all soldiers of the coalition army, just like everyone else, why can't you have enough to eat?" Townsend wondered, in his time, it was unthinkable that a soldier would not have enough to eat, and it also meant that there would be a string of people standing in the dock of the Imperial Court.
"Because we are the top soldiers, we are all unlucky people who have been kicked out of the battalions, and no one wants to look at us. The monkey whispered, "No matter what the team, no matter what the matter, as soon as the officers come out, we will only be beaten." We have to do a few jobs, but we don't get enough food...... Oh sir, it's time to. โ
Townsend listened calmly, he had already set the principle that more is better than less, and ignored the monkey's complaints. Hearing the monotonous sound of drums in the barracks, he picked up his helmet and asked, "What's the content of the outing?"
"No one else knows. But we just shook our hands and stretched our legs, or we could run two laps around the tent. The monkey said, "Sir, they are all assembled." โ
Before leaving his tent, Townsend was accustomed to stop at the door, his face was solemn, his palms were erected, his thumb was inserted into the hairline next to his eyes, and his index finger and middle finger were inserted into the neckline with his thumb with his wrist, and the neckline was made with his thumb - it was a strange feeling that he had not touched the brimmed hat or pinched the wind button.
"This isn't the world you're familiar with!" Townsend smiled bitterly, and walked out of the tent with a solemn expression, ready to meet Xiao Kill's barracks life - he froze when he glanced outside.
This so-called military camp is definitely rewriting Townsend's cognition.
What kind of army station is this? It's a vegetable market and a garbage dump!
Patched tents of all colors were lined up, men and women of all kinds were shuttling and flicking, there were people selling in the open area, and the group of people in the corner was clearly gambling...... Your uncle, it's okay to wander around outside without clothes, what's the matter with running crazy waving women's underwear?!
"Sir, go this way. The monkey led the way, and led Townsend to a stable in a corner, and pointed his hand forward: "Sir, they are already in lineโSir!"
"Lizheng!" A deep voice sounded: "The spearhead greets the chief!"
Townsend only glanced forward, and began to lament in his heart.
What kind of team is this! More than 20 people, some with bald heads, some with chicken nests, some with big braids and some small pigtails, stood in two rows in the mud and horse manure. Although everyone tried very hard to make themselves look serious and powerful, their tall, short, thin bodies and unwashed faces had made this effort go to waste.
What is the situation of the well-known Vulture United Sentinel Elite Team?
In terms of size, more than half of them were thin into a piece of wood, and the rest were no better, and the only two with flesh on their faces were actually swollen; from the countenance, the faces of the vast majority of the soldiers were gray and haggard, and their lips were blue and purple and chapped and cracked; judging from their clothing, they were not uniforms, mottled in color, shabby, and even in civilian clothes!
From the point of view of mental state...... Forget it, is there still a mental state to speak of?
The middle-aged soldier on the top was stronger than the others, but it was still difficult to hold a two-person flagpole. At the top of the flagpole was a triangular strip of blue cloth, on which the inky mass could not be distinguished from a pattern or a smudge. But compared to the other people's attire, this flag is quite neat and clean, at least not like the military uniform, which is covered with patches and large holes with small holes.
Looking at the weapons carried by the spearheads, as well as the elbows, knees, and buttocks that were occasionally exposed to the air, Townsend was already certain that the spearheads were the last in the camp. Do you want to go into battle with such a team? Go to battle with your subordinates who have a vegetable-looking face and even swollen hands and feet?! What are you kidding?!
"Take a break. Although his heart was on fire, Townsend still met with his subordinates amiably on the surface. He walked from beginning to end and back again in the queue, carefully checking the condition of each of his men, not even letting go of the package they were carrying.
Counting the monkeys, he had twenty-three soldiers. In terms of basic equipment, the entire vanguard team has 19 military uniforms in the shape of rags and fishing nets, 13 pairs of half-military boots, 11 spears, 4 pairs of leather armor, 3 helmets, 3 bows, 2 waist knives, and 1 long sword.
