It was a little warmer in February than it was in Nuok, and although the snow and ice on the ground had not yet begun to melt, the crows in the trees had begun to shake off their wings, trying to shed the soft feathers that were not conducive to flight. www.biquge.info Yesterday, Master Zida had taken a hundred dwarven warriors and craftsmen to live in a temporary camp, and those ordnance had been escorted to Binuk by more than 100 troll warriors led by Kekeba earlier, and stored in a temporary warehouse on the edge of the camp.

Cocoba was sent by Liang Ke to receive the ordnance in Naronto, and one of the more important tasks was to select the warriors who would accompany the army among the dwarves and trolls, and Cocoba trained the team of 200 people. Liang Ke knew that the battlefield fighting in the era of cold weapons was not a hooligan fight, and relying on personal bravery alone would not play much role, so Liang Ke discussed with Kekeba that the purpose of this training was mainly to carry out training according to the abilities and characteristics of dwarves and trolls, as well as to strengthen the execution of military orders.

After understanding the bodies, fighting methods, weapons and equipment, and even temperament of the dwarf and troll races, Cocoba found that these two races, which were originally good at close combat, have become all-round players suitable for both near and far under the equipment enhancement and technical guidance of Liang Ke.

Dwarves, melee combat is a steel fortress, the hammer in the hand can almost shatter all conventional armor, shatter the enemy's internal organs, when attacking from a distance, the hammer in their hands can hit the target within fifteen steps, after a successful blow, you can use the leather rope to pull back to carry out the second blow, but after all, the range of action is limited, can only be used when you are close, it is always a chicken rib. But since Liang Ke passed on the production process of the hand crossbow to the dwarves, they not only achieved a repeating crossbow in the hands of the dwarf warriors, but also the descendants of these gods innovatively equipped them with armor, not only equipped with crossbow arrows that can be fired in three consecutive rounds on both arms, but also designed a two-shot "bowed crossbow" at the back of the head, Liang Ke was startled when he first saw Tucker show himself this secret weapon like a treasure, which reminded him of the one called "Jing Ke" If he had this thing at that time, relying on the suddenness of the hidden weapon, where would he need to tremble and be "poor dagger".

The troll, who is already tall and agile, has the advantage of multiple arms, and with the long knife designed by Liang Ke, it is simply a meat grinder on the battlefield. Now, the trolls and the dwarves have become the best neighbors thanks to Liang Ke, and the warriors who came out of the troll village this time have all been helped by the dwarves to create half-steel armor. Originally, according to Patriarch Patton's intentions, he wanted to arm these neighbors to the teeth, but Kekeba categorically rejected Patriarch Patton's kindness. From a commander's point of view, he needed to retain the physical dexterity advantage of the trolls, rather than turning them into stakes that could only stand there and defend passively. So, he just asked the dwarven craftsmen to help create a light half-body armor to protect the trolls' vital points, and then the trolls had six glittering spears stuck in their backs. There was also a skin round shield with a diameter of one meter and two on the outside of the six-pole spear, and Piedro didn't agree to carry this "useless" guy at first, but later Cocoba went to Liang Ke to complain about the evil situation, and the troll guard chief picked up the lid like a turtle shell under Liang Ke's obscenity.

The troll's throwing spear can basically achieve a precise strike beyond one hundred and fifty steps, the effective range of the hand crossbow is eighty to one hundred steps, the arm crossbow can shoot far to about fifty steps, and the farther will lose the accuracy, coupled with the hand hammer that comes and goes like the wind and the near-invincible melee ability, the cooperation of the two races has reached the level of both distance and nearness, both offensive and defensive.

In terms of combat ability, Kekeba is extremely confident in this team, and he didn't put too much thought into it, but he just made proper arrangements and short training for the formation and tactical skills. But there are pros and cons, the unruliness in their bones has also made Kekeba suffer, military discipline is a lullaby in the ears of those dwarves who are addicted to alcohol, and it is even more nonsense to make those trolls who have been bandits for many years obey military orders, and Kekeba can't really use those iron-blooded methods in these "friendship performances" In the end, he could only carry out the big Buddha of Liang Ke and tell the hill dwarves and troll warriors who were training together that anyone who could not abide by military discipline and strictly enforce military orders would be deprived of the qualification to follow Master Aragon to the north, which made these guys more honest. However, the good times were short-lived, and this afternoon, shortly after the dwarven warriors moved into the camp, something happened.

Liang Ke also moved into the command post in the temporary station a few days ago, which was originally a private house, with two rooms inside and outside. The inside room is a bedroom, and the outside room has a table and four chairs, which is considered an operational command room. Liang Ke took a nap after lunch, and then got up to fight a military boxing, the troll Delinko handed Liang Ke a hot towel, Liang Ke wiped off the hot sweat on his head, and before his ass touched the chair, Kekeba ran into it panting.

"Team...... Team...... Captain, you ...... You ......"

"Hahaha! My Vice-Captain, what is the big thing for you to be in such a hurry? Sit down and talk slowly, don't worry, the sky won't fall. Liang Ke looked at the sweaty Kekeba, pointed to the chair beside him, and motioned for him to sit down.

Cocoba was so anxious that he slapped his thigh.

"Captain, you...... You go and see...... Go and see! The dwarves are ...... Fight with the troll warriors. ”

"Oh! Take me to see it. Liang Ke frowned after hearing Kekeba's words, threw the towel to Delinko, grabbed the cloak and left.

When Liang Ke and Kekeba arrived at the camp in a hurry, the clash had been basically controlled by Zida and Piedro who had arrived first, and there were more than a dozen people on both sides involved in the fight, and they were now divided into two gangs, loudly complaining about their dissatisfaction to the two leaders, and occasionally interspersing with each other's accusations and abuse. Zida and Piedro saw Liang Ke coming over accompanied by Cocoba, and quickly calmed the people and stepped forward.

"Your Excellency!"

"Brother Aragon! look at this...... It's all the old brother who is incompetent, and he didn't restrain these stinky boys......"

Liang Ke nodded to Zida and Piedero, raised his hand to interrupt Zida, and then turned to the two groups of troublesome soldiers, Liang Ke swept each of them with eagle-like eyes, at the beginning those guys also scolded and verbally attacked each other, but seeing Liang Ke's eyes like an abyss, they gradually calmed down, they knew that they were in trouble, and secretly looked at Zida and Pidero, but these two leaders could only stare at them fiercely, Liang Ke did not ask, and they did not have the opportunity to directly open their mouths to distinguish and plead.

After a few breaths, Liang Ke shook the big behind him, took two steps forward, held his head high, exhaled.

"Troll warriors, you swore to always follow in my footsteps, to stand in my way, and to join me in slaying our common enemy, yes or no?"

Piedro heard Liang Ke's stern tone, and came down in a cold sweat on his head, and knelt down on one knee in front of Liang Ke with a few guards, and the few troublesome and lively troll warriors behind him also quickly followed and knelt on the ground.

"Answer me!yes or no?" Liang Ke's shout really didn't make Achilles use any black magic to bless him, but it resounded in the sky, and the military flag fluttered above the shaking barracks.

"Yes, my lord! Trolls have never and will never betray their oaths. Led by Pidero, the trolls answered categorically and eloquently.

"Yes, I Aragorn believe and thank you for your loyalty. ”

Liang Ke took off his iron helmet, stroked his chest and bowed his head, returned the salute to the troll warriors, then raised his hand to signal Piedro and the others to stand aside, turned to the dwarven warriors who were red from drinking, and continued: "The dwarves of the hills are my friends, we used to appreciate and help each other, and Aragorn thinks that he treats Narondo's friends with all sincerity and does his best. This time, Patriarch Barton and High Priest of Narondo fully supported Aragorn and helped the Gallant Empire deal with the spring hunt of the orcs, and Aragorn was grateful!"

Tucker and Piedro and others saw that their adults were kneeling on one knee, and hurriedly followed behind and knelt down, where did the old Zida think that Aragorn did not accuse those troublemakers, but came up and gave them a big salute first, and the old Zida stood and knelt not, rubbing his hands and muttering "How good is this!" went up and helped Liang Ke up. Liang Ke got up and hugged Zida and said many words of gratitude, and then asked the old dwarf to stand aside.

Liang Ke's fierce gaze swept over the faces of those troublemakers, and he continued: "Words of gratitude are worthless if they are too much, and Aragorn should naturally treat my friends and followers with all his heart. Speaking of this, Liang Ke paused slightly, and the conversation changed abruptly.

"However, I want to ask you, has anyone begged you to come? Do you know what kind of clothes you are wearing? Has no one told you what military discipline is? Do you know what the vocation of a soldier is?" Liang Ke's voice was louder and louder, and each sentence seemed to knock on the tip of people's hearts, making people feel as if someone was knocking on the door of their hearts.

The playground was surprisingly quiet, everyone lowered their heads when asked, and even their breathing was as slow and long as possible, except for the occasional frightening bird and the whistling north wind, almost no sound could be heard.

"What? no one wants to answer me?" Liang Ke walked through the snow to the dwarves and trolls, rubbed their shoulders, and walked through each of them one by one, meeting everyone's eyes. When he walked back in a circle, the field was still silent.

Liang Ke raised his hand suddenly, pointed at the troublemakers who were in a cold sweat, and shouted loudly: "If you don't say it, I'll tell you." ”

"When you come here, I, Aragorn, have taken advantage of the favor and saluted, and I will have something to repay in the future. But look at what you're wearing? It's a military uniform, and there's a badge on your chest that represents your military status. Whatever your reason for coming here, after putting on this uniform and wearing this military insignia, you are no longer just a follower or friend of my Aragorn, but a soldier of the newly formed 1st Division of the Northeast Theater of the Northern Army of the Garent, a soldier of our ordnance maintenance team, just like me Aragon. Liang Ke said that he slapped the badge on his chest with emotion, which frightened the ruffians into blinking.

"Since we are no longer a robber, no longer a craftsman, but a warrior, we must guard the discipline of a warrior. Our vice-captain of Cocoba has clearly conveyed what the discipline should be, but there are still people who drink too much and make trouble and fight. Vice-Captain Cocoba has already said that if you don't want to abide by these military disciplines, you are not qualified to go with me to the land of the orcs to see their pastures. Liang Ke raised his hand and pointed at the troublemakers who were like frosted eggplants and ordered: "Kekeba, take their military uniforms, our small maintenance team can't afford to use these arrogant old soldiers." ”

Kekeba's face tightened, and he wanted to say a few words of pleading for them, but when he saw Liang Ke's face was frosty, he could only shake his head, and he had no choice but to turn around and walk towards the troublesome soldiers.

When these guys saw that Liang Ke was coming for real, they were dumbfounded, and their faces were full of remorse and pleading. They are all the best of the clan, and after layers of selection, they got this opportunity to go out of the valley and follow their idols to the outside world. If you go back in disgrace like this, you won't be laughed to death by your friends, and you will have to be scolded to death by your family. Seeing that Zida and Piedro were angry with them with their eyes, but they didn't come forward to help plead, they were so anxious that these ruffians were in a hurry. One of the troll warriors, with the six-armed "Zhexian" fangs with a scar between his eyebrows, pushed his lips up, and stepped out, kneeling on one knee.

"My lord, we have wronged, it is these ...... them"

Before the words of "Zhexian" could be finished, Liang Ke's steel boots took a heavy step, and the splashed muddy water almost hit him in the face, and Liang Ke shouted and asked, "Who are they?"

"They...... They were the drunken dwarves, and they ...... "This troll Zhexian wanted to say that they were those dwarfs, but he was afraid of angering Liang Ke, so he changed his own statement to what he thought was more appropriate, but he didn't forget to tell the dwarves first.

"They are your neighbors, your friends, and here are your brothers, what do you say about your neighbors and brothers?"

The troll stiffened his neck and argued, "But they got drunk first, and then ......."

"Did I ask you why? Do I need to know why? Whatever the reason, fighting in the army is a violation of military discipline. I just asked you if you know what the duty of a soldier is, and you can't answer it, so I will tell you now that it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. Military discipline, isn't it an order? Isn't what the commander said an order? If he violates military discipline, he still has to use strong words, Kekeba, first take his military badge and let him leave the camp immediately. ”

Master Qida saw that Liang Ke was really angry, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Brother Aragorn...... Captain, I asked about this, the reason is indeed because these little bastards drank some wine and laughed at the ugly fangs of the troll brothers, but the fangs of the troll brothers were their pride, so they started to fight without saying a word, and now they have all realized that they are wrong, you see, should they just leave them and don't drive them back. ”

Liang Ke didn't look at Qida either, his eyes looked at the troublemakers, and asked loudly, "Do they know that they are wrong?"

Those mischievous guys hurriedly knelt on the ground in the same way as "Zhexian", and said in unison: "My lord! We know that we are wrong, and we ask your lord to spare us this time, and we are willing to continue to follow in the footsteps of your lordship." ”

Liang Ke saw that the heat was almost over, and turned his head to look at Kekeba.

"Vice Captain, can you be forgiven for violating such military discipline?"

How could Kekeba not understand Liang Ke's thoughts, his ugly face shook, and he replied happily: "Military law is like a mountain, and you can't be ...... It can't be spared, but it can be punished in another way. ”

"You've all heard it, are you willing to punish in lieu of expulsion?"

"My lord, we do!"

"Okay! Kekeba, record it. In the dwarven army, drinking alcohol, picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and insulting the robe, the participants received 30 lashes, and the trolls did not know how to bear it, and the participants received 15 lashes. Immediate execution, with Master Zida and Piedro in prison. After Liang Ke finished speaking, he walked forward, stretched out his hand to help the "Zhexian", patted his breastplate, and said: "A six-armed Zhexian, you must be able to endure on the battlefield of killing the enemy, not a private fight with the robe, I hope to see you at the forefront on the battlefield, not the first to jump out and say goodbye to the black form of escape." ”

After listening to Liang Ke's words, the troll lowered his head, and was ashamed not to say a word, but a resolute light flashed in his eyes.

The deputy captain of Kekeba on the side admired Liang Ke to the ground, an inter-ethnic conflict crisis, so that he could resolve it invisibly in a few words, those stupid people who were whipped will be more disciplined and loyal in the future, what a god-like existence!
