CHAPTER XLIII

Hearing that the captain who had made great achievements on the battlefield had lost to such a newcomer, Airy couldn't help but be interested.

"Let's go, let's take a look, I haven't used a sword in a few days!" he said, leading the way towards the guards who were practicing in the field.

Unexpectedly, the boss who had always had the reputation of "magic arrow" in the army couldn't help but make a move, and the captain hurriedly shouted at his subordinates;

"All stand upright!"

It is worthy of the iron army trained by Li Fang, at first hearing the sudden order issued by the boss, the entire queue was not a little chaotic, and quickly stood in place, although they didn't understand what was going on, everyone had a questioning look on their faces, but no one dared to turn their heads and ears, and all looked ahead.

Airy had only just turned twenty-three this year, not much older than the soldiers, and even a significant number of the Guards were older than him. But no one dared to underestimate this commander because of his age.

Due to the birth of the "Black Dragon Knights", Airy's horse work is naturally not comparable to that of these infantrymen. And even more important is Airy's terrifying archery. The battle of Airy's fame was the "Seven Hundred Cavalry Assault Battle" commanded by the "Tiger General" Lang Zhong. In that battle, Airy shot and killed more than 70 enemy soldiers, including two of Atterbury's generals. And he was also one of the eighteen knights who safely withdrew from Sugal in Suilang. Seven hundred warriors went on the expedition, and eighteen returned, so we can imagine the cruelty and heroism of that battle.

In that battle, Lang Zhong was seriously wounded in 17 places, and 24 were lightly wounded, which can be said to have picked up a life from the pile of dead. It was also from that battle that Lang Zhong gained the prestige of "Tiger General". But in the same way, that battle also made Airy famous throughout the "homeland".

Of the eighteen knights who returned to Suger alive in Suilang, he was the only one, and none of Zhou's bodies were injured. But no one suspected that Airy was the one who escaped from the battle, and it was because of his magic arrows that he shot the pursuing enemy to his horse. Four arrows shot three cavalry, and the only arrow that did not shoot down the enemy cavalry was actually the red tassel on the head of the enemy's cavalry general on a snowy night, shocking more than 300 enemy cavalry on the spot. It can be said that Lang Zhong was able to get out of danger smoothly, and Airy made great contributions. This fearless composure and the exploit of "four arrows to block the pursuers" alone were enough to make him an idol in the hearts of the soldiers of Li Fang's First Army.

Airy was quite satisfied with his soldiers, and he was sure that once they went to war, they would be his comrades who could be trusted with life and death.

"I just heard your captain's report that some time ago, a few sergeants had a private fight, but there is such a thing!"

In the "homeland", fair and honest challenges are allowed, provided of course that both sides reach the point. Private brawls are forbidden. At the thought of the iron-like discipline of the "homeland", the faces of everyone present darkened. Although the three had been punished by the captain before, it could only be regarded as a private treatment. And once the supreme commander knows about it and stabs him in the military discipline department, the consequence is not as simple as increasing the training in peacetime, and if he doesn't make trouble, he will even be expelled from the army.

"Yes!" a soldier stepped out of the queue, followed by two other soldiers who were involved in the process, and stood in front of Airy.

"Very good, dare to act, like a man!"

Hearing Airy's tone, not only did he not blame these three people, but there was a little approval in his words, and everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. Depending on the situation, Airy would not hand over the three soldiers to the Military Discipline Division.

"Still, you three against one, and you still lost, didn't you?" said Airy, in a slightly stern tone.

The three of them lowered their heads embarrassedly and said nothing.

"And do you accept it?" asked Airy.

Seeing that the three of them bowed their heads and were silent, Airy couldn't help but raise his voice and shouted, "Is there such a thing as a soldier?" If you dare to do it, then what else dare you not say!"

"Serve!" the sergeant in the lead immediately raised his head and replied in a loud voice, and the other two echoed.

"Very well, I bring this up today, not because I want to blame you for the private brawl, but to tell the three of you, and also to the two hundred and fifty soldiers in the Guard. ”

Speaking of this, Airy's gaze swept over the faces of every sergeant in the entire ranket, and seeing that everyone was listening intently to his teaching, he nodded with satisfaction and continued, "There are mountains beyond the mountains, and there are people on people! Now although you are a member of the Guards, although you are the elite of the First Legion, you should know. In the entire 'homeland', you are not the best, and you are still far from the standard of Li Daren's establishment of the Iron Army, you know?"

"Yes!"

"Good. There is no war now, but look!" said Airy, pointing to the sky north of the barracks, "Just thirty miles away from our station, Fallen Leaf City. You know, that is the battlefield, and it is the battlefield where our First Army will fight bloody battles in the future. One day, when the head of the house gives an order, we will take it. Further north, there is Basr, known as the 'Land of the Highlands', and the incomparably powerful Jungar. What you will have to face on the battlefield in the future is not the men of the First Legion, but an unpredictable enemy. Let them know that you are an iron army, a real iron army. The place that the head of the family points to is the battlefield where you have made great achievements. Among you, there will definitely be people who will become squad leaders, squadron leaders, captains, and even commanders, commanders, and commanders! But before that, only by tempering yourself as tough as the blades in your hands can you become an iron army that makes the enemy fearful, can you become a warrior in the army, and a victorious army on the battlefield. ”
