What Kevin said is actually telling the truth, the times are changing rapidly, the army must also keep up with the rhythm, and the traditional peak display of personal strength will inevitably be impacted. Maybe one day, an ordinary person can kill a Sword Master or even the Great Magister by pressing the switch, which is undoubtedly a tragedy for the Sword Master or the Great Magus, and there will inevitably be people who will try to stop such a development.
However, as long as the various ethnic groups on the mainland have not yet been unified, then this era is difficult to guarantee that it will not come. War has always been a part of the history between various races, and in order to overwhelm each other, outperform each other, dominate each other, and protect themselves at a minimum, then the development of new types of weapons is also inevitable.
The strong become stronger through cultivation, and the weak gain combat effectiveness by manufacturing equipment, if the two do not restrain each other, then they are basically in a state of synchronous development, and there is a sword master, then there should also be a device that restricts the sword master. Mutual restraint is actually the best way for society to develop, and the invincibility of one party is the most unstable.
Kevin is telling the truth, and the current investment in weapons research and development is even more than his personal strength. Kevin also sighed why these funds never reached his hands, although he knew that he would not get the money when he opened his mouth, but he still opened his mouth. lest in the future debate, the other party can still find an excuse such as "you didn't ask us".
At the end of the meeting, they returned to the camp. A little surprisingly, no one really came to trouble Kevin, and Kevin was also a little puzzled, could it be that the general "pardoned" Kevin's shortcomings of not being able to ride in order to save money for a horse? Although both are very small things, there is no need to analyze them too seriously.
There may be a lot of reasons behind the scenes, horses are a problem, and it is estimated that the shock of the general's outing is also a problem. The other reason, perhaps, is Sain. In order to curry favor with Sain, the staff officer turned against Kevin. But the general didn't need to please his son, he was already in a state of punishment, and he made all kinds of things.
Speaking of which, Sain is still a red fighting spirit, at best a fourth-order warrior. Naturally, there is no need to worry about what to eat, and there should be no problem with the bloodline, and I have been in the army for half a year. A handful of good soldiers have been able to advance to a fifth-order warrior, but he hasn't. The general also has the feeling of hating iron but not steel, of course, he has a lot of children, and the current time is short, so he is not particularly worried.
It's better that no one is looking for trouble, and Kevin continues to train the catapult while also starting the normal process of updating the novel. Starter had recently finally applied for a chance to go out, and it is said that he had returned to his Start library to manage it, and he had put Kevin's new book, The Bard, on the shelves.
Start is only half a day out and must be back before lunchtime. He's not Kevin, Kevin is running around alone, he has a normal program management over there, and Start is also going out on his own for the first time since joining the army, but the time is still far from enough, just barely doing some things. In fact, Starter came to Kevin yesterday, mainly hoping that Kevin could go to the Start Library to help take a look, after all, Kevin can run casually.
But yesterday, I thought that Kevin was being targeted by the chief again, probably because he couldn't protect himself, so he didn't open his mouth in the end. And if Kevin is allowed to go to the library, it will most likely be that the entire library will have a better literary atmosphere, a better artistic atmosphere, and then lose money.
Kevin himself is a person who doesn't care much about money, and would rather travel for ten years to tell pornographic jokes, but still not make good money. got 30,000 gold coins, and actually used it all to transform the catapult, ordinary people have already saved it, or bought food by themselves, maybe the spiritual realm is different. But in most people's eyes, Kevin is also a semi-neurotic madman, and it seems that after a certain level of intelligence, some common problems will appear, whether it is too high or too low.
December is over and the new year begins. However, life continued as it was, and the legion was still mainly trained by recruits. These recruits are not like Kevin's group of officers, who will be trained for a whole year until the next recruit, and their career will not end until the next recruit.
A whole year of recruit life, a year of life at the bottom of the army is undoubtedly painful, the army is worried that the recruits will be unbearable, will first tell them that they only train for three months, and after three months they will be relaxed. And in fact, after three months, they get used to it. Many of the recruits are depressed, and Kevin can often hear cries in the corner. Apparently the recruits can't stand it psychologically, they are homesick, etc. But this is a hurdle that they have to pass, and after that, they are soldiers.
It was two months of dullness, and the training of the army in winter was also extremely hard, and the climate of Saka City was very cold, and the wilderness was endless, so the hunting cold wind was also unscrupulous. The warm clothes issued by the barracks also feel difficult to resist, so people here are accustomed to exercising to keep warm, which can be regarded as a way to force people to exercise.
In the past two months, Kevin has moved from training on catapults to training on his own. But if you want to talk about how hard you work and how hard you work, it's really not enough, if no one forces this thing to train, Kevin is also a little lazy to ask himself. It's not like catapults, or debates, these are Kevin's strengths, and he gets a great sense of accomplishment when he succeeds in something. And self-training is a lot boring, especially when there is no one to practice, a person is particularly boring, especially when it is so cold.
However, Kevin finally ensured that his strength was not wasted, and at the same time, the optical refraction tactics of the magic shield hesitated and lacked practice, and he was still in a half-baked state. If a new way of thinking about warfare wants to be integrated into one's own system, it will take a lot of time and experience, and this is not something that can be solved by just asking people and reading books.
However, in terms of magic, Kevin felt that he was good at it, and at this time Kevin could easily fire three magic missiles with his bare hands, and more if he had a staff.
As for this crow, Kevin has a good relationship with him, and often takes it to the tavern, and the drunkards have long been familiar with it, and many people habitually tease it, and it will not be angry when the meat or beans feed it.
When Kevin trains on his own, he also looks at it from the sidelines, or flies to other places to play on his own. The crow's greatest amusement is to pull the tails of other animals. Not only the pug on the other side of the cafeteria, but also the wild dogs, wild cats, other birds, and even vultures, eagles, and so on. It is often seen that it sneaks up on other animals when they are not paying attention, approaches each other behind their backs, and then pulls their tails violently, and the other party hurriedly turns around, but it has already flown away, and makes a "ahhhh
Kevin knew that this crow was extremely intelligent and extraordinary, but he didn't worry about it. As for its true strength, Kevin has not yet figured it out. Kevin also considered whether it was possible to equip the crows with some weapons, and it is said that the military is about to equip some excellent parrots with weapons.
There are miniature crossbow arrows, as well as enhanced claws. However, this weapon cannot penetrate the armor of heavily armed soldiers, and can only be used to fight birds or attack civilians. It is also very common to give weapons and armor to pets, and cavalry often armor horses regardless of whether they are high-level, middle-rank, or animals.
However, for this crow, Kevin has always been in a state of precaution, because he doesn't know the details, so he doesn't sign a contract. As for further equipping it with weapons and the like, we will wait until the contract is signed.
Winters are cold, but there are benefits, at least snow. After the snow falls, there will be snowball fights, snowball building, etc., which is a rare entertainment activity in the army, in addition to boring mutual topping and advanced bridge.
At the same time, in other parts of the mainland, the conflict in Leibozier's country began to intensify, and a large number of mercenaries had nothing to do and began to make trouble all day long. However, the king still did not intend to compromise and tried to ease the internal conflict by sending troops, and they attacked a small country smaller than them.
The country of Doug is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the north is surrounded by mountains, and there are no neighboring countries around its borders, and there are no mineral resources worth looking at in the country, and it only depends on fishing and selling fish for a living. It can almost be said that they lived a life without fighting, but in early January, more than two dozen warships suddenly came to the sea, rushed into their territory and plundered them.
In this battle, the Douge country had almost no resistance, and this small country was the size of the two main cities of Lou Baole country, and it was not the opponent of the other party at all. The country of Lebzier didn't grab anything of value, just some fish, and of course some women. Just for women, countless mercenaries are vying to participate, and the problem of domestic mercenaries having nothing to do is temporarily solved.
However, this kind of bandit march will undoubtedly lead to international conflicts, and the Church of Light is the first to condemn it, and in the hope of peace and light, it is ordered to make reparations. Otherwise, the Holy Knights of the Church of Light will wage a holy war against the kingdom of Lebzier.
The Holy Knights are not at all a threat to large countries, but they are somewhat shocking to small ones. These paladins are strong or weak, and they are not afraid to die when fighting. Because they sincerely believe that when people die, they will go to heaven. Since you will go to heaven, what are you afraid of death?
Lebzier lost some money decently and dismissed a general, saying that it was the army that the general had spontaneously mobilized, and expressed regret. Doug Guo can only accept it, what else can he say.
The reason why weak countries have no diplomacy, and some places are small and have small populations, it seems that the people can still live and work in peace and contentment, is only that the current status quo is more favorable to the big countries. Once the situation changes, then the small country will also be in turmoil. But the big countries are different, and if they want the big countries to be in turmoil, it will be at least a world war, and the forbidden curse will be smashed indiscriminately.
But this way of aggression of the Lebzier country is a kind of drinking water to quench thirst. It is their own reputation that is ruined by the robbers' actions. Its domestic merchant groups began to gradually consider withdrawing from the country, or at least starting to transfer capital.
Its domestic bards still boast that if they win a battle, they must boast to the sky, and they don't pay taxes anyway. However, the high-end nobles in his country still have some knowledge, and there are also sword saints and great mages in China. The country can still hold out for a while, but if it continues like this, it will inevitably become farther and farther away from the mainstream era.
Lauru is still said to be in the prison of the country of Lebzier, but he is still relatively comfortable in this prison, and it is said that it is very easy for him to escape from prison, but he is still on a certain mission, and he still stays there. It is said that he still reads Kevin's book in prison, and Kevin is a little flattered.
Kevin's second book is still not very popular, but at least it is better than the previous one. At the time of the first "Biography of the Assassins", the Assassins were not interested in the things of the Assassins in the open for fear of being exposed, so they all secretly read them in the middle of the night. The second book is finally no longer Assassin content, and the Assassins can borrow it generously.
There are also a lot of comments, some encouragement, and some suggestions. Since Kevin's protagonist is also a bard, Kevin can directly pull certain comments into the book, which is equivalent to a book review for the reader in the book. The Assassin asks for a role, and Kevin can also write the Assassin directly into the novel, allowing him to continue to ask for a character in the book.
Although copying is inevitably suspicious of the number of words, at least ...... Authentic enough.
The beginning of February is the New Year of Lou Baole Guo, Lou Baole Guo believes that from this day on, it is the beginning of real spring, so the first day of spring is the New Year's Festival. On this day, the whole country will start to rejoice, and people who have been peaceful for a long time will always come up with various ways to celebrate.
The splendor of magic was undoubtedly used to the extreme, and the four systems of spells of wind, fire, water and earth converged and combined in the air, turning into a gorgeous chapter. The civilians below cheered, and for the civilians, this situation can only be seen once a year, which is very rare.
Kevin thought that there were bonfires, mutual topping, and drinking in the barracks, but he was told that during the civilian holidays, soldiers must step up patrols to prevent accidents. The Knights of Thunder also had to patrol with the sheriffs in the city, working in shifts from day to night, with no time to rest.
On New Year's Day, Kevin was temporarily assigned to the picket team because there was only one person. He wandered the city walls with Start, watching the brilliant spells in the sky and listening to the cheers of the civilians as he went to catch the other lazy soldiers. It feels good too.
After the New Year, March is approaching, and the usual important event in the army is finally on the agenda, and the Red and Blue Army confrontation exercises.
The reason why the Red Army is called the Red Army is mainly because of the large number of people in Lou Paul, and the red fighting spirit is the most common.
As for the blue army, it is only because the blue army is a simulated foreign army, and it used to fight against the enemy, but the sand table flag is red and blue, and the red and blue settings are also used in the final exercise confrontation.
Exercises take place every year, but the scale varies from year to year. Kevin is honored that this year's exercise will be the largest in a decade due to the addition of new equipment.
At the end of February, the general again convened a meeting of independent departments: "This exercise is very important. 80% of the whole regiment must participate, you go back and count the number of people, the recruits try to be all the recruits, and the veterans can stay behind depending on the situation. ”
Everyone was silent, everyone had been prepared for this matter for a long time, and they all knew it in their hearts.
"If there is anyone who has been counted now, he can report it. The general added. Every time there is a major event, the general likes to ask this question, depending on which commander can do things neatly and do things one step ahead of others.
As a result, Kevin was the first to stand up: "I report that this time all members of our team participated, and no one was left behind." Participation rate, 100%. ”
The corners of everyone's mouths couldn't help but smile, but they all forcibly held back. Every time Kevin reports like this, it feels very funny. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
