Chapter 421: Special Troops
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and although Count Chi single-handedly controls the entire military power of Gyeonggi, he still cannot achieve 100% secrecy. Until, half a year later, one day, a marquis was in the palace study and talked to Redstone about the development of the empire, and when he left, the lord carefully picked a few hairs from the ground and carefully wrapped them around his middle finger, and Redstone saw this scene.
After learning the reason for the incident, the Redstone Emperor could not help but fall into a deep self-reproach: why did he believe the count's smiling face? Why did he not further analyze the superficial phenomenon that the world has been peaceful recently, and no one has ever caused trouble? Even if you are an emperor, you cannot guarantee that you will not make any mistakes 100%. The Earl was immediately reported to the Earl.
In fact, Earl Chi, who had just returned to the Duke's Court from the auction site of the Treehouse Bar, had already prepared for this, and had already prepared a set of high-sounding reasons.
According to the only few chamberlains of the Red Stone Emperor at the scene at that time, it was vaguely revealed afterwards that this confrontation was initiated by Earl Chi, and the Red Stone Emperor, who was originally going to ask the teacher for his guilt, was exhausted and finally had to cut the land and beg for mercy.
In order to protect the emperor's face, the guards only talked about a few points. As soon as Earl Chi came up, he talked about how he was guarding the frontier, and many robes were killed on the battlefield. Then he brought up the matter of his own stake in the small mercenary group, and just as the Redstone Emperor was about to ask about the dragon's beard porridge, Count Chi turned the conversation to the difficult life of orphans and widows who were killed in battle outside the Ice Fortress.
If the Redstone Emperor wasn't a sage king, he wouldn't have been moved by Count Chi's words of compassion; There is also a bodhisattva heart, not only has a bodhisattva heart, but also is willing to blame himself for not doing the emperor's own job, anyone who has made these mistakes in front of Count Chi, then he can't blame Count Chi for falling into the well.
The Earl righteously mentioned that the small mercenary group adopted a total of 374 families of dead warriors in the Ice Fortress, including 102 elderly people, 386 women, and 458 underage children (under 16 years old). A total of 946 people. According to the basic living expenses of 4 gold coins per person per month. Then you need 4,000 gold coins, and you need 40,000 a year.
To be honest, the Redstone Emperor, who had lived in the palace for a long time, didn't know anything about the prices of the people, regardless of whether it was necessary for each person to feed 1,000 people on a wholesale basis in the Ice Fortress for 4 gold coins per month. The Redstone Emperor would never know that the value of one of his hairs in the market was enough to feed 20 people.
This kind of man-made knife kills me for the fish and meat situation. There is no basis for negotiation. The final result of the negotiation was that, according to the way the Empire manages mercenary groups, there are more than 200 official mercenaries. That is, a small village can be trusteeship; if the scale is more than 1000 people, that is, some towns can be trusteeship, 50% of the tax revenue of the trusteeship town is directly transferred to the small mercenary group, and the mercenary group has the right to operate and trade in the local area, and the Redstone Emperor is willing to exchange the trusteeship of a town for the right to free hair shedding and underwear free change. And Earl Chi chose Xilin Island.
In the subsequent communication with Qin Lang, Chi Hanfeng revealed three reasons why Xilin Island was chosen:
1. Grandpa Qin Lang once proposed that there is a kind of wild vulture that can become a swordsman's mount along the coast of the empire, and Chi Hanfeng has always been angry about Qin Lang's lack of a mount;
2. Xilin Island seems to be small, but due to the abundant fishing grounds, if the trade route is opened, it will undoubtedly become a pearl along the coast, with great appreciation potential;
3. The island still has the benefits of the island, and ordinary people are reluctant to disturb it, so that they can be a little emperor.
Although Qin Lang regrets that he can no longer obtain greater benefits through the guò auction, the reason why he can't fish with all his strength is still very clear, in addition, if he hosts Xilin, he can bring the orphans and widows of the Ice and Snow Fortress, and the air in Xilin is humid, which is far stronger than the cold weather of the Frozen Continent. So I happily agreed.
And at this time, Balbas led 20 young men who had just turned 16 years old with a small mercenary group to the Duke's Palace.
In the past year, the small mercenary group in the Ice Fortress has taken in a total of 458 teenagers under the age of 16 and 123 teenagers around the age of 16~18. At first, Balbas was only taking care of this place alone, but later, Long also left the military to take care of them, and used the huge amount of money left by Qin Lang to invite two elders from the Holy Court and a wandering magician to educate these orphans.
The method of education is still very simple, basically following the education model of Chi Hanfeng to Qin Lang and Daqingshan, getting up early is to run - it is the kind of running that wears few clothes, and after coming back, it is to chop wood, and in the afternoon, it is divided into swordsmen, magicians, priests and other modes to train separately.
After a year, in addition to the direct subordinate unit of the chief and deputy head of the regiment who had been doing evil outside, the small mercenary group in the Ice Fortress branch finally had its first official mercenary team - composed of 170 young mercenaries over the age of 16. After this size, some of the smaller villages in the vicinity began to seek protection, willing to pay a small fee in exchange for the small mercenary group to be stationed and protect the village from wild beasts.
Balbas, who was worried about eating nothing, saw that there was a deal coming to the door, regardless of the price offered by the other party and the price of the A-class mercenary group, the gap was too big, and he accepted it. Subsequently, he handed over the matter to Long and personally led his 20 proud disciples to show the results to the head of the group.
At this time, the work of receiving Xilin fell to Qin Lang, who originally thought that Qin Lang meant to go with Daqingshan, Chi Aotian, and Horns, but was rejected by Count Chi, who thought that this trip only needed Qin Lang alone, and the others just used this time to practice diligently, so there was no need to go so many people. In this way, Qin Lang took a few orphans who had fought with his father's comrades-in-arms to Xilin.
The unhappiness of Xilin's trip was doomed from the beginning. Not letting Chi Aotian and Da Qingshan go already says a lot in itself, no matter which dragon you take, it will immediately attract the attention of others. If Chi Aotian says his surname again, then he will be in a goof; according to the usual practice, he will usually send someone from the imperial military department to accompany him, but this time he will also be exempted; the seal is not the big seal of Duke Chi, but a private seal.
Of course, this qiē Qin Lang didn't notice that for the mercenary king in his youth, he was an extremely casual person, who could achieve his goals no matter what the circumstances. Even though some of the two people looked at his fading back, they secretly muttered some intrigues.
"This time it's another challenge for him, the general of Lion River won't arrest him, will he?" said someone with a bearded weasel to the chicks.
"It's fine. Hey. Do you believe that he will suffer?" another young man said: "It's good to be young, to be able to fail countless attempts and never have to worry about losing your goal." ”
"Yes, yes. They are now like chicks who are just about to come out of their eggshells. Don't help them break the eggshell. Otherwise, you will definitely die. ”
"Pole to pole, pole to pole, like winter wheat that sprouts in autumn. In autumn, you must not let the wheat grow at will, and even do not hesitate to pull the mill into the ground and press it to death the green shoots that emerge prematurely, so that the roots below can grow stronger. ”
The two men looked at each other, and both saw the fox's smile on each other's faces.
Qin Lang is a person who has no concept of money, he just happened to have an unusually good fortune recently, and he took eight little brothers to play while walking, and when he saw good things, he bought them for his brothers, and the 200 gold coins he carried on his body had already spent more than 120 when he arrived in Xilin, and these young mercenaries who went out for the first time had lost their father's life was extremely hard, and this time they all let this brother compensate for it, and before he arrived in Xilin, he had already changed into a new clothes, and even the sword was replaced by a brand-new two-handed sword. If it weren't for Qin Lang still pulling everyone up early every morning to practice and do basic combat training in swordsmanship, he would be an impeccable big brother.
For Viscount Fan's refusal, Qin Lang was unusually calm, and almost like his brothers, he slowly returned to Scambrai in the mood of playing in the mountains and rivers, and when he saw Earl Chi who came to greet him, he just said lightly: "This time it was a good game, the general said that we still have to discuss, Uncle Chi, let's continue to hold an auction, build a larger one, and put forward the concept of the last time, so that there should be a good price." After speaking, he took a group of little brothers to find Chi Aotian and they went to compete.
The subsequent development was predictable to everyone, and after Count Zaichi tried to create momentum and held three consecutive "last out-of-print redstone auctions", the Redstone Emperor had to inquire about the matter again, and when he learned that it was a small general who forced some of his extremely secret things to be exposed in broad daylight for a small Xilin, his hurt feelings can be imagined. Of course, with the wisdom of the Red Stone Emperor, he would not be able to remove a general for these trivial matters, but he would force the military headquarters to immediately issue extremely strict supervision orders in a very normal way and by extremely normal means.
One night, when the Marquis Military Undersecretary was forced to arrive at the Lion River General's Mansion for 5 days and 5 nights in a row to deliver the order, it was not difficult to understand that he greeted all the family members of Viscount Fan in his heart, and greeted the gate of the General's Mansion and the sergeant who opened the door with leather boots that were already dirty under his feet.
Although it was not convenient to explain the ins and outs of the matter to Viscount Fan, Lord Marquis's face was already showing that the storm was coming, and Lord Marquis only said one sentence: "I take the order of His Majesty the King and the military department to immediately ask the small mercenary group to take care of Xilin, and from now on, calculate your efficiency in minutes!" After speaking, Lord Marquis went directly to the mansion prepared for senior officials at the post station to rest.
And when Viscount Fan personally led the team back to the imperial capital day and night, he obtained the first-hand information of the small mercenary group, whether it was the Holy Dragon Knight or the Necromantic Dragon Knight or the Red Stone Panty Incident, it made him feel cold in his heart, of course, when he learned that the Chi family, the three famous families of the empire, was the main participant and COO of the small mercenary group, he knew even more about the catastrophe he had committed.
Later, how did Viscount Fan use to invite Qin Lang's small mercenary group to return to Xilin, but because both sides tried their best to cover up the process, the outside world did not know at all. It was only later, when the imperial nobles visited Viscount Fan's house, they just caught up with the Fan family's lunch. I was surprised to find that dozens of people in a family actually lived by drinking porridge, and even pickles were rationed according to the capitation. At that time, most of the imperial nobles thought that Viscount Fan's family was how to boil porridge in the morning, then let it cool, and then cut it into pieces with a knife, so that it was the most chewy to eat and could satisfy hunger as an after-dinner conversation, and when chatting, they all thought that Qin Lang was a fox and a fake tiger, and he used the Chi family to show a prestige. Later, there were more and more stories from the Hami Kingdom, and when I learned that the earls and marquis who were also noble dragon knights were also killed by Qin Langtong and had to boil porridge to survive, I had to start judging the strength of this young man again.
In February of the 3rd year of the magic calendar, the small mercenary group finally invited Viscount Fan to Xilin Town in tears after all kinds of politeness, and Xilin gradually became the most famous city in the history of magic from this day.
Magic Sword Vulture
Afterworld. Every year on the eighth day of February in winter. As long as the people of the four continents who use the sword as their main weapon have time, they will take time to participate in the annual sword sacrifice ceremony in a small town called Xilin at the mouth of the Lion River in the Eminole Continent.
It is said that on that day every year, more than 50,000 miniature swords carved with the head of the mercenary Wang Qin Lang in the ratio of 1/10 of the ice blade are sold on Xilin Island.
The eighth day of the second month of the second month of the third year of the magic calendar. The small mercenary group officially set foot on Xilin Island. From that day on. The sword has truly possessed the strength of the ancestor of a hundred soldiers from an auxiliary weapon. And it is precisely because of the integrity, selflessness and morality of the mercenary Wang Qinlang, who has been friends with the sword all his life, that the sword has also become synonymous with noble martial virtues.
It's on this small island. The swordsman profession evolved into four classes: Great Swordsman, Blocking Two-handed Swordsman, Vulture Great Swordsman, and Demon Swordsman.
On the eighth day of the second month of the winter of the 3rd year of the magic calendar, there were a total of 25 small mercenary groups that set foot on Xilin Island, which was still unknown at that time, counting: mercenary Wang Qin Lang, holy dragon knight Daqing Mountain, black-faced dragon king Chi Aotian, furious dwarf king Horns, necromantic general Balbas and 20 young mercenaries.
They were greeted by a swordsman squad of the former Lion River Defense Army stationed on the island, and 200 swordsmen lined up to greet them under the leadership of the squad leader -- of course, this was not their original intention, so why should they welcome a group of children? If it weren't for the oppression of the defense general, they would have gone back to the camp to sleep a long time ago.
As a veteran of 15 years in the army, Balbas's brow immediately furrowed. According to the information of the soldiers delivered by Viscount Fan, the average age is about 25 years old, of course, if you put 100 40-year-old veterans and 100 15-year-old junior soldiers on average, this figure is extremely accurate. The sea breeze carried the fishy smell of the seawater, but it could not hide the stench emitted by the soldiers who had not bathed for a long time. According to the rules of the Imperial Army's welcoming ceremony, "all the soldiers stood majestically at a 45-degree angle with snow-white swords in their hands. "In fact, these soldiers are also impeccable, and all the long swords are also at a 45-degree angle, but they seem to be holding their swords instead of holding them, and they are snow-white.
Qin Lang's face was very peaceful, and the corners of his mouth still kept a smile, just like the most elite warriors in the world in front of him, he didn't waste too much time, and simply waved his hand at all the soldiers, letting the soldiers disperse, only leaving the captain of the Zhengfu squad and Qu Chang and guerrillas. In fact, only these people in this army are in the prime of life at the age of 35.
"Is there a hotel on the island? The deputy squad leader took Uncle Balbas to charter all the hotels, and the soldiers will stay in the hotels from tonight to keep them clean. Another team leader took Horns to see the camp, today to find a carpenter to buy the items needed, starting tomorrow, except for 5:00~9:00 in the morning for morning exercises, the rest of the time is used to repair the camp. Of course, in order to ensure that everyone can get up on time tomorrow, I have hired the best trumpeter for everyone. After speaking, Qin Lang motioned to Chi Aotian to summon Xiao Hei down from the sky. And let Xiao Hei demonstrate and shout twice: "Si-ang, Si-ang." A loud voice that had never been heard before on Xilin Island, and everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the huge monsters that had appeared on the flat ground, and they were already dumbfounded. Lu'er watched Xiao Hei fly down and spread his wings, and by the way, he also sent a lightning little magic at Xiao Hei, which is the most common game between the two of them, anyway, Xiao Hei is immune to all magic.
"Hehe, this trumpeter, who likes to make out with those who sleep lazily with his mouth. Qin Lang said slowly. The smile on the corner of his mouth became even thicker, obviously satisfied with the effect. Then, together with the captains, they made a simple plan for morning exercise in the square. Just let all the cadres go back and inform the soldiers.
Regardless of the Necromantic Dragon's combat status, from a scary point of view, it is much stronger than Midori'er. All the soldiers who witnessed the majesty of the necromantic dragon were already deeply impressed, and they left for the drill on time early the next morning.
It is a fixed truth that money is easy to do.
Soldiers who have not had enough to eat for a long time and have poor accommodation can suddenly eat delicious meals, sleep in comfortable beds, and add a lot of strength to their bodies. Early the next morning, all the soldiers got up on time, and under the leadership of their respective five commanders, they began training as they had never done before. This was followed by a fragrant breakfast. After a full workout. It was extremely appetizing, and after the soldiers had eaten breakfast, they began to completely flatten the old camp and start construction again.
According to the selection of soldiers of the Imperial Corps, the best soldiers went to the pikemen. The second soldiers entered the bow battalion. Only the worst soldiers will enter the swordsman camp. And the swordsman battalion never had a chance to enter the battlefield. The point is that the strength is too poor.
While training with the soldiers, while carefully observing the soldiers' appearances, Qin Lang was quite satisfied with this unit.
The empire in the selection of soldiers. It's still relatively strict, so it's better to average the su zhì. Most of the soldiers who entered the swordsman battalion were eliminated because they were relatively small and could not match the original tall spearmen, let alone use longbows, but this was quite satisfying Qin Lang's special needs.
Two weeks later, seeing the appearance of these well-fed, well-dressed and well-trained soldiers could no longer recall the scene they had seen when they first arrived on the island. As the military director of Xilin Island, Qin Lang made the first personnel instigation: all soldiers over the age of 35 left their military posts en masse, except for some who were transferred to the Huotou Army, and all others joined the side business organizations such as agriculture, fishery, animal husbandry, and commerce established by the small mercenary group, and the small mercenary group paid salaries in a unified manner. Those who are willing to leave Xilin and return to their former residence can pay a return fee.
The team of 200 people suddenly became 132 people, almost half less, and then, Qin Lang publicly posted a list of recruits on the island, unlike the imperial recruitment, Qin Lang's recruitment was carried out in accordance with the mercenary regiment paid recruitment model, according to the soldier's ability, each soldier can earn 8~12 gold coins per month, which is a huge difference with the imperial soldier's monthly subsidy of only a fixed 2 gold coins, an ordinary Xilin Island fisherman's monthly fishing income is basically about 6 gold coins, and the mercenary group also includes food and accommodation, more than 2000 people in Xilin Town have more than 800 people signed up at once. After strict selection, 120 young adults between the ages of 18~30 joined the swordsman battalion of the small mercenary group.
Soon, the new soldiers discovered that Qin Lang didn't want to train everyone to be a type of swordsman. The first batch of weapons provided by the blacksmith of Xilin Town for the small mercenary group are in place, all of them are swords, a total of 5 types. These swords are obviously different from the traditional knight's stabbing sword, the traditional knight's stabbing sword is mainly used to stab the opponent directly after the knight charges, so the sword is required to be narrow and slender, not only easy to stab, but also easy to pull out with the power of the horse charge, the texture is best cast steel sword, so elastic, will not be broken by armor and other armor in the sprint.
Among the swords, the largest number is the two-handed bladeless heavy sword: a total of 300 pieces, weighing 50 catties, without blades. It is obvious that this is a training sword, which can ensure that all soldiers can ensure sufficient training intensity when training.
And all the soldiers, according to Qin Lang's orders, received the long swords that they had never used before. Almost more than 50% of the new swordsmen have received more than 1.6 meters long two-handed giant swords, the average height of this group of warriors is more than 1.8 meters, perennial fishing work, exercise their broad shoulders and round waist, the hands that are used to pulling the net suddenly hold the two-handed big sword or feel very uncomfortable, but soon they found that the original such a big sword is very simple to use, Qin Lang has almost no requirements for them except for simple swordsmanship fighting and quick movements. The swordsmen who hold the big sword have only a few simple actions every day except for chopping wood: oblique chop, straight chop, diagonal knock, and spinning diagonal chop......
There are also 50% of the relatively thin new swordsmen who have received relatively slender two-handed stabbing swords, this kind of sword has never been seen before, made of pure steel, 1.4 meters long, the sword body is slender, but behind the tip of the sword, it is obviously much thicker than other parts, even if you hold the sword with both hands, you can still feel the weight from the tip of the sword. Qin Lang's requirements for them were extremely complicated, even the routine work of chopping wood every day had to be carried out on a small boat with rough waves. The subsequent fencing had to be carried out in small boats. They were also required to use straight stabs as much as possible, learn to use the weight at the tip of the sword when chopping, and try to use the front section as the chopping surface.
Most swordsmen are given a 1.5-meter black two-handed greatsword, which is between the first two levels of difficulty.
There is also a special two-handed sword with about 50 or so swords, which are not used at all.
After settling everyone, Qin Lang asked Chi Hanfeng and Horns to preside over the training, and asked Balbas to return to the Northern Federation of the Empire with 10 young mercenaries, and all the young mercenaries over the age of 14 were brought to Xilin Island to participate in the full training before February of the spring of the 4th year of the magic calendar, while the young mercenaries under the age of 14 continued to exercise their physique in the ice and snow by taking advantage of the good environment given by God.
After arranging everything, Qin Lang and Da Qingshan embarked on a journey to find the wild vulture.
The vulture is a huge bird of prey that lives in groups along the coastline, and its wings are generally spread out at about 2.5 meters. The larger ones are called thunder vultures, and their wings spread out about 3 meters. The height of the vultures is about 1.5 meters. The hemp-colored feathers cling to the body, and because they are often bathed in seawater, there is always a thin layer of oil on the feathers, and they can fly normally on rainy days. Only the feathers on the head of the vultures are white. Brown eyes can see up to 10 kilometers away. Wild vultures hunt fish and small beasts with their beaks and claws. These two parts of the vultures are extremely threatening, both for humans and for other races. The average vultures are still relatively small due to their size. Therefore, it can only take people weighing 130~150 pounds, so there are few vulture knights who wear iron armor, at most leather armor.
Training a vulture is also an extremely hard job. And it is irreplaceable, warriors who wish to become vulture knights must personally contact and train vultures, otherwise it will be difficult for vultures to obey the knight's orders.
Compared with capturing wild vultures, training wild vultures is an easy thing, capturing live wild vultures is an extremely hard and dangerous thing, generally the hunters who provide the army with wild vultures for reconnaissance all year round are in the wild vulture nest on the cliff at night, take advantage of the characteristics of the wild vulture that cannot see things at night, cover it with a net, tie it firmly and then carry it down - this kind of aerial work has an extremely high mortality rate.
Of course, if it is a small number of wild vultures, there is another way, the hunter wears an extremely heavy and wide coat - the coat is drenched with water beforehand, and the size of the coat must completely cover the hunter, and the chicken intestines are tied with thin wire on the coat - the chicken intestines are also strung with thin wire, and then the man takes the coat to the hillside. When the vulture sees its favorite chicken intestines, it will carefully observe whether there are any traps nearby--of course, it can't see the hunter under the coat, and after making sure that there is no danger, it will fall from the sky and grab the food heavily, and rise up again - Of course, this is just an imagination, the weight of the soaked coat is as much as 120 pounds, although this weight can also be brought up by the vulture, but, without any preparation, this weight is enough to overturn the vulture to the ground, and the vulture that has fallen to the ground has no way to break free of the wire that has been wrapped around its claws, then the hunter can come out and buckle the vultures with a net, and then capture it.
Of course, the vultures are extremely aggressive animals, and any kind of capture will pay a great price, and at least 50% of the vultures struggle to resist being killed by mistake while being captured.
Qin Lang and Daqingshan soon found a large number of wild vultures on the seaside cliff more than 50 miles away from Xilin Island, and on the cliff 40 meters above the ground, there were no less than 50 wild vulture nests densely packed, and below the nest were a large number of leftover fish and small animal remains, exuding a stench. The vultures fluttered in the howling sea breeze like spirits in the sky.
In the small shack, Da Qingshan squinted his eyes and observed every move of the wild vulture for 3 days, and finally bit his ear with Qin Lang, Qin Lang heard Da Qingshan say very clearly: "You go back and bring people, give me 3 days, and I will catch all the adult wild vultures here." Although surprised, there was something else that Daqingshan could not believe - while the other children were still coquettish in their parents' arms, Daqingshan had already begun to hunt the most dangerous beasts. Qin Lang patted Da Qingshan's shoulder and left with confidence.
Three days later, when Qin Lang and 57 small mercenary group soldiers came to the bottom of the Wild Vulture Cliff again, there was no longer a flying vulture in the sky, but everyone could clearly see that Lu'er was lying in a wild vulture's nest, poking out his head and greeting everyone happily.
Outside the shack in Daqingshan, all the wild vultures were tied up and sturdy, and they stood on the wall outside the shack like wooden stakes. It seems that there are at least 80 or more. Unlike the vultures captured by the army, each of them had no blood on them, and it appeared that they had been captured without any fighting.
Four major professions
The Vulture Swordsman, as a subclass of the swordsman profession, has existed for a long time. This subclass has the advantage of being able to quickly and widely move around, and it can avoid some ground traps and attacks. Most of the time it is the choice of some low-level mercenaries.
However, this profession really became a profession that people paid attention to, after the mercenary Wang Qin Lang took it as a class and specially configured the long sword suitable for this profession.
After the first appearance of this branch of arms on the battlefield, it immediately became a new topic for arms scientists, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the appearance of this branch of arms has greatly shortened the time of war.
Although Qin Lang had already imagined that Da Qingshan would do what he said. But I was shocked by the facts: the sight of more than 80 wild vultures arranged like wooden stakes would shake anyone else.
Talk about opening the door to the shack. Qin Lang poked in, and immediately flipped over and jumped out at an extremely fast speed: a foul smell came out of the shack with a gurgling sound. At this time, Daqingshan obviously also heard someone coming from outside and walked out of the shack. All of them frowned: the black clothes of Daqingshan, which had always been clean, were covered in bird droppings. There are also bird feathers stuck to the head.
"Daqingshan. You're not pretending to be a vulture sacrificing hue to attract them, are you?" Qin Lang asked with a pinched nose. The smile on his face turned into a wry smile.
Da Qingshan shook his head innocently: "No, I caught all those adult wild vultures, for fear of starving the little ones." Yesterday, I asked Lu'er to take them out of the nest, and there are more than 30 of them, and they are being fed. ”
"How did you catch them? Could it be that these vultures, like those stupid dragons, listen to Lu'er very much and recognize him as the boss?"
Da Qingshan shook his head with a sincere smile on his face.
After Qin Lang left, Daqingshan let Lu'er fly over the sea, trying to make some noise, so that the wild vultures did not dare to come out, and he went to the nearby market to buy some very elastic deer tendon rope and roast chicken. When he returned, he pulled up a long rope of deer tendons between the two trees, tied a roast chicken in the middle of the rope, and pulled many roots. The vultures did not dare to go out to sea, they had been hungry for a day, and they immediately rushed down when they saw the food, they all thought that they could stand on the rope, and according to their habits, they all wanted to stand on the rope and eat food, but the elastic rope immediately went down as soon as the pressure was received, and the vulture found that something was wrong, the first action was not to fly but to hold the rope tightly, so the big elastic rope could not be grasped at all, so a huge vulture was hung on the rope under the head and feet, and was afraid of death.
All eagles need to be stepped on when taking off, otherwise they can't fly at all, and the vultures that are hanging upside down in the air have no place to find a place to tread, so they are hung honestly. Daqingshan went to tie up every 2 hours, at that time, those wild vultures were congested with hanging brains, very honest and very cooperative, when they were finally upright by Daqingshan standing upright by the wall, their eyes even showed gratitude.
The saying "man dies for money, and birds die for food" is true. Despite watching batch after batch of vultures being tied up, the vultures in the back plunged into the trap again and again under the temptation of food - the only difference is that the vultures in the back keep taking off, falling, taking off, and falling in the hope of seeing how to avoid the trap. But what can you try on these not very long ropes?
In the summer and January of the 3rd year of the Magic Calendar, 80 adult large birds of prey and 30 chicks were brought back to Xilin, and the newly recruited sons of the sea who practiced swordsmanship in small boats became the new owners of the vultures;
On February 7, the summer of the 3rd year of the magic calendar, 256 young mercenaries over the age of 14 came to Xilin from the ice fortress of the frozen continent for one month. Most of them joined the Great Swordsman and Swordsman Camps, and more than 50 boys and girls who were already very good at magic were assigned to the Demon Swordsman Camp, and a few were assigned to the Vulture Swordsman Camp.
Qin Lang officially announced the first personnel appointment of the small mercenary group on this day.
Small Mercenary Group - A-Class Mercenary Group
Regiment Commander Qin Lang is an A-class mercenary
Deputy Commander Aoyama A-class mercenary
(Perhaps because none of the following personnel have the appropriate mercenary level, their mercenary level is not written in the appointment of the following personnel.) )
Captain of the Great Swordsman Battalion (272 men at full capacity).
Blocking the fencer battalion (full of 101 people, standard configuration) captain Chi Aotian
Captain of the Demon Swordsman Battalion (full standard configuration of 53 people) Qin Lang (concurrently)
Vulture Swordsman Battalion (full capacity, standard configuration: 82 people) Captain Chi Aotian (concurrently)
Silin oversaw Balbas
The Ice Fortress Branch supervises Long
According to the characteristics of each profession, Qin Lang, Daqingshan, Chi Aotian, Horns, and Balbas have developed completely different training methods.
Mercenary regiments are different from ordinary armies, unless they are hired by the state during the war, there can be face-to-face battles, and only three situations will mercenaries participate in frontal battles:
1. The strength of a country's army is too poor, so you have to hire mercenaries, and the commission is attractive;
2. In times of emergency, the state implements the policy of all soldiers, and mercenaries are not allowed to discuss the price to become part of the army;
3. Invite the four A-level mercenary groups to participate in the war or the extremely powerful B-level mercenary group to participate in the war, the general mercenary group rarely has frontal war training in daily training, and it is impossible to accumulate experience in this area, and it is almost impossible to survive in the face of the impact of the regular army.
Therefore, when Qin Lang launched the training plan and saw the layout of the entire mercenary group, all the core personnel were taken aback, and their eyes showed doubts: Could it be that the small mercenary group wants to participate in a regular war.
Qin Lang smiled and explained his plan: "The current financial resources of the small mercenary group cannot raise troops for a thousand days like the country, we must take on a wide range of tasks, so that the small mercenary group can have room for survival and development." In large-scale personnel training, it is difficult to reach a tacit understanding through long-term cooperation like ours, so it is not possible to expect them to form a complete attack force in the future mercenary career, I carefully talked to Uncle Chi about the training mechanism of the army, through the training of the different arms, and then mixed operations, it is easier to form a tacit understanding of multi-arms cooperation, which is different from the tacit understanding between people and people, but the establishment of the doctrine of mutual restraint between the arms. With this model, even if we send out a small combat team in the future, we can also achieve cooperation between various classes. ”
The Great Swordsman Battalion trained by Horns will become the main combat force of the small mercenary group, these warriors are also the best armor among all the warriors, their main armor will be a combination of gold skins, compared with the traditional all-metal armor of the main battle force, the direct purpose of sacrificing defense is to obtain greater attack power and agility, the generation of this team is mainly the feeling that Qin Lang and Daqing Shan found from the berserkers in the battle of the Wind, although it is impossible to get a large number of berserkers in a short period of time, but if there is such a team with courage and destructive power as the most fundamental purpose, it is undoubtedly what all mercenary groups want。 And although this class can't expect to get the massive destructive power of the Berserker, it definitely doesn't have to worry about going berserk like the Berserker. Horns' own attacks are most important for the momentum of fighting to the death, so he trains and considers hiring berserkers as instructors.
In his words, whether it is a brave swordsman or a majestic vulture warrior, it is not a lethal attack point of a group, only the swordsman is a tool aimed at killing, and the black slender long sword is suitable for attacking the enemy in a stealthy way in the dark night or in valleys, forests and other places - whether it is a mercenary war or a national war, victory is the only goal. Chi Aotian's swordsmanship is the same as his character, he specializes in treachery, although he uses a one-handed sword, but it is not difficult to generalize to a two-handed sword after a little improvement.
