Raphael immediately became a fish in water, he usually liked these things too much, there were a large number of battle examples in the ancient books, and he himself had analyzed a lot, he deliberately summoned all the officers above the captain level under his command to the large training ground, ready to analyze some battle examples for them.

On the training ground, of course, there were other knights and their soldiers training.

He first selected a very controversial battle example to analyze, and guided his subordinates to argue, which became lively, and gradually, even other knight chiefs were attracted to him, at this time, he analyzed it head-to-head, and then analyzed several battle examples in a row, until the eyes of those knight commanders flashed with admiration.

Then he used the experience gained from reading books, combined with the training of the soldiers, to point out many deficiencies to them, for example, although the knights also pay attention to the basics, but not enough, they always unconsciously pursue gorgeous skills; for example, the knights pay attention to the battle formation, but do not really take advantage of the strength of the battle formation, they still only care about personal bravery in the formation; for example, the army does not pay enough attention to scouts; and the team generals who lead the soldiers do not have a clear understanding of their duties. And so on, in all directions.

Of course, although he said it was very reasonable, it was no more than an analysis of war examples, and pointing out these deficiencies directly involved the vanity of his subordinates, and would inevitably make his subordinates unconvinced.

Fortunately, discipline is very strict in the army, the knights are both soldiers and nobles, well-educated, and the etiquette of the nobles will definitely be maintained on the surface, although they are despicable and shameless when they fight in private, so there is nothing provocative to do if they are not convinced.

Raphael just wanted them to be dissatisfied, and he trained a squad alone, intending to prove it to them with a small-scale drill.

Of course, several knight captains who were watching on the side also heard about this, but after Philip found out, he actually gathered all the knights on the day of the drill and came to watch the fun.

Not only that, but Philip also made a special report to Nicos.

When Nicos was recruiting her son-in-law Raphael, she heard Raphael talk a lot about the military formation, and she took the time to watch it.

In autumn, the two squads were fully armed, wearing special anti-stepping armor and holding wooden fake guns, this kind of armor had a certain impact on the action, and it was very heavy, but it could keep the surname under the horse's hooves, and it was impossible to wear it in real combat, but it was possible in training, because the training of a short collision did not care about the consumption of horsepower and physical strength.

The deterrent power of cavalry is always great, so the lords of the plains are basically armed with cavalry, so the two small groups of cavalry have organized a formation, and the atmosphere in the training ground is solemn.

The two squads, one with a red scarf and the other with a blue scarf, each team of twenty-one people, the Red Turban Army was trained by Raphael.

The drill is not allowed to use vindictive spirit, but only to verify the formation and strategy.

Philip smiled sincerely: "Many soldiers are curious about this, so I just let them all come, don't you mind?"

Raphael smiled slightly, noncommittal, just nodded, and then his face sank, standing on the platform, flicking his cloak, heroic, firm and majestic tone, and said loudly: "The drill begins." ”

The red and blue cavalry immediately charged, and from a distance, they began to fire a crossbow arrow, and this wave of crossbow arrows alone showed the difference between the two teams.

The knights of the RED team are still leaning over, all in the same position, with a small frontal striking surface, making full use of the sturdy helmet and shoulder armor, and the angles of the crossbows seem to be particularly elaborate.

The dye-wrapped arrows were hurled towards both sides, and it was obvious that the blue team had more arrows, and after the shooting, the red team's crossbows were just thrown away, and the crossbows were steadily inserted into the crossbow holsters of their horses along with the ropes drawn on the harnesses, and they immediately picked up the wooden riding spears on the weapon hooks and got ready.

The situation of the blue team is much worse, not only do they shoot in different positions, but the arrows they shoot are also scattered, and after the shooting is completed, the actions of placing the crossbow are even more varied, and the speed of the horses lifted up, because of their movements, becomes slightly faster and slower, and the speed of the horses changes, and the formation is naturally a little scattered.

The cavalry with the arrow does not ask to retreat, this will be calculated at the end.

The two teams of soldiers finally collided, the same sharp arrow formation, the cavalry of the red team only crossed more than half a body with the teammates in front of them, the formation of the blue team was loophole, so that the head knight of the red team smoothly inserted into the blue team, after he attacked one person, the teammates behind followed his momentum and continued to attack that person, until the attack surface of the formation was extended enough to attack the other soldiers of the blue team.

Even if the RED team members are not accurate enough to attack, they will not force it, and they will always touch and go.

The soldiers who were watching were shocked to see that after the captain of the red team successfully broke into the blue team, none of the players behind him fell off their horses, and they easily tore apart the formation of the blue team, of course, due to the narrower formation, there were only ten soldiers of the blue team who were picked out.

The captain of the blue team was extremely depressed, and he was also picked out, and as he charged, he felt the opponent's stabbing constantly, and he faced a series of three attacks alone, until he was picked off his horse in a hurry.

After the two teams crossed, the scene was silent.

After a while, both teams turned around, sorted out the formation, and attacked again, and in the process of turning, the red team with more people was actually much faster than the blue team, and there was no suspense now, and the red team won completely.

When a knight leader stepped forward to observe the situation of the arrows on both sides and announced it, the scene was in an uproar.

For the blue side, four people were hit by arrows and two were slightly injured, while on the red side, only two people were hit by arrows, and the arrows were in helmets and shoulder armor, which was judged to be invalid.

The wildebeest, a magical beast, was not shot at the point, and it was no problem to complete a charge, ignore.

Raphael was confident in himself, he always believed that details mattered, and in order to be convinced, he chose soldiers who were the weaker teams in the army.

The Knight Captain of the Red Team, who had often failed in previous drills, cheered excitedly, and then he pounded his armor with his hands and shouted: "Raphael ~ Raphael ~"

"Bang Bang!" "Raphael!" "Bang Bang!" "Raphael!" The soldiers cheered.

Raphael waved his hand on the platform, and the audience immediately fell silent, he said: "This is just a subtle aspect, the specific training, I have already arranged, you will become the pride of Oro City!"

The knights are not afraid of the usual brawls, but the most afraid of the duel on the battlefield, because the battlefield can make them feel the insignificance of their personal strength, and the knights cheered: "Raphael!" "Sun God!" "Raphael!" "Sun God!"

Several knight captains who came to watch looked at Raphael with different eyes, and Philip smiled haughtily: "Raphael, amazing, no worse than us veterans." ”

Nicos's beautiful eyes lit up, and a deep love floated in her heart, but then she turned uneasy, and suddenly the affection quickly dissipated inexplicably, her eyes dimmed again, and a smile slowly appeared on her face, and she hugged Raphael and said, "My dear, you are amazing, I still have something to do, so I will go first." ”

Raphael has been training with the soldiers in the barracks for the past few days, eating together, and has become familiar with everyone, and he has watched Nicos and after they left, they also left the barracks, and it will be regular training in batches in the future.

The army is usually gathered together in special circumstances, or wars, and the knights usually have their own affairs, and are very prepared, of course, they also have tasks such as rotation.

Only emperors and grand dukes and the like will have some standing armies, and even full-time archers.

After looking at the old map of Oro City for a few days, São Paulo had a gloomy face, thought for a while, and said, "Glori, you go to Raphael in person." ”

Gloria nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty." She never called him father, and St. Paul never called her daughter.

She returned to her room, hurriedly changed her clothes, took the two female guards, and went to the garden of the nobility.

Raphael had just left the barracks and was walking down the street, thinking about studying alchemy, when he was stopped, and when he looked back, it was Fez's old department, the knight Arnold.

Arnold was the head of the old Firth ministry and was very prestigious.

Raphael immediately said enthusiastically: "Knight Arnold, is there something wrong?"

Arnold's eyes flashed and said, "Raphael, we all admire you, I want to talk to you." ”

When Raphael saw that there was no one left or right, he said, "Let's go, go to my noble garden, where I have put some good wine." ”

Arnold nodded happily, and the two talked about the affairs of the army, and after a while, they arrived at the noble garden.

Only Valerie was in the store, she happily hugged Raphael and kissed her, and said softly: "Gloria is here, in the living room on the second floor, fortunately, Emilia is not there." ”

Raphael thought of Philip, groaned for a while, and said to Arnold with a smile: "Let's go, let's go to the second floor for a drink." ”

Arnold came to the second floor, saw the shining silver, and immediately said respectfully: "Your Excellency Gloria, it is such an honor to meet you. ”

Gloria nodded slightly, and said, "I'm also very happy to see Knight Captain Arnold." ”

Raphael smiled: "I didn't expect His Excellency Bishop to come to select equipment, it really made the small shop flourish, Your Excellency Bishop, please take a seat." With that Raphael inviting them all to sit down, Valerie went upstairs and brought them tea.

Arnold pursed his lips, touched his beard, and thought, you can pretend. After he sat down, he didn't care about the presence of Gloria and her female bodyguard, and said straight to the point: "Raphael, I don't think the Count takes you very seriously." ”

Gloria smiled slightly, this is a coincidence.

Raphael said, "I have never led any of my men, and it is good that Nicos has given me the position of knight captain." ”

Arnold frowned and said, "Let's be honest, Raphael, we have submitted to Nicos and will inevitably be excluded to a certain extent, so we are very united, and we hope to have your support." ”

Glori's eyes flashed with silver, and she smiled, "Arnold, I heard that you are a devout believer, haven't you?"

Arnold immediately looked solemn and said, "Yes, Your Excellency, my men and I are the most devout believers of Your Excellency. ”

Gloria giggled, "That's fine, Raphael will support you." ”

Arnold's face was happy, and he said, "If the bishop has any orders, you can come to me, and I will retire." He saluted and slipped.

Raphael originally wanted to show his relationship with the bishop and win over Arnold, but he didn't expect Gloria to pry Nicos's corner in front of him, and he felt that this was not right.

Gloria turned to Raphael again and said, "What about you, my dear?"

Raphael thought for a moment, and his little face twitched, "Of course I support you, will Nicos be dangerous?"

Gloria thought about it, "As long as there's nothing wrong with Nice, that's fine." ”

Raphael listened, a little dazed, what is okay? This is too vague, so he asked, "What exactly?"

Gloria stared at him and said, "Raphael, I don't care how many women you have, but do you really value Nicos so much?"

Raphael hurriedly defended: "It's not important, no matter what she says, it's my wife, and I think I have an obligation to protect her." ”

Gloria covered her mouth and smiled: "Okay, let's not talk about this disappointment, tell me what you have done in the army in the past two days." ”

He simply put everything aside and began to brag about the army, and the silver in Glori's eyes was shining with silver.
