Chapter 33 Preliminary Training
Half a month later, at noon, the town square was crowded with people, all gathered around to watch the game, and some even made bets.
Su Lin glanced around, and then whispered to Felicia: "Wife, don't cry your nose if you lose later!"
"If I lose, I'll give you a little more benefit tonight. Felicia said with a slight smile, but there was still some nervousness on her face.
"Forget about the benefits, I don't want to be knocked out again. Su Lin decisively refused, it was not welfare, but looking for a beating.
Then ten people on each side had occupied the middle of the square, and Cass and the others were holding round shields and short swords as soon as they appeared, while on the other side they were holding a long sword.
In order to completely make Felicia die, Surin also arranged two competition methods, one is a one-on-one competition, and the second is a big melee with ten people.
Although he already knew the result, Felicia would definitely be sad at that time, but he had to do it himself in order to smoothly promote the Legion's phalanx combat method, and then he would have to compensate her well.
After Surin announced the rules, the game officially began, with Cass being the first to appear, and Felicia on the other side sending Amo.
At this time, the people around also roared loudly, cheering for the people they supported, and the scene was also very lively, and those children were crowded in the front, staring at the front intently, for fear of missing it, after all, there were few entertainment activities at this time.
Cass looked at him carefully, then circled around him, taking a deep breath, he was also very confident that he could win this match.
Then Amour rushed first, and with a sword slashed at Cass's head, the force was heavy, and a sudden sound of breaking through the air sounded.
Seeing this, Cass also made a very simple move, directly met it with a shield, and defused the blow with a slight flick.
Then Amour began to attack desperately, but Cass kept his distance from him, and because of the shield, he could easily defuse it.
After Amor's long-term inability to attack, his physical strength was also very consumed, but thinking that the opponent's sword was so short that he couldn't touch him at all, he couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved.
At this time, the middle-aged man watching from the side also roared loudly, seeing that Cass had been passive, and those who supported him couldn't bear it.
"Cass, you're attacking, might as well change to a longer sword. ”
"The outcome has been decided, you still admit it! Amodu has attacked so many times, and it will not be long before Cass will be able to do it. ”
Felicia and Gru couldn't help frowning when they looked at this scene on the field, in fact, the strength of the two of them was about the same, but the shield defense was very strong, and Amor's failure to attack for a long time was already at a disadvantage, and the other party was obviously deliberately consuming his physical strength.
With both sides fighting at a similar level, a single shield had already given Cass the upper hand, and after realizing this, Felicia also expected the result.
Sure enough, the situation on the field changed in an instant, and when Amor stabbed Kas with his sword again, Cass cut straight in, and then swung his shield and smashed it.
At this time, Yamo was already close to him, so he didn't have time to dodge at all, and was directly hit by the shield, and by the time he came to his senses, Cass had already put the short sword on his neck.
The next few games were also in a one-sided situation, and the ten sword and shield soldiers trained by Su Lin, relying on the advantage of having shields, almost all of them dealt with each other in close combat, while those soldiers with long swords had no room to fight back once they were close to each other.
Su Lin looked at Felicia on the side with a gloomy face, and couldn't help but walk over and take her hand and comfort: "Wife, don't be sad, isn't my victory also your victory!"
"It's inevitable to be sad! Don't worry, I'll be fine in a while. She is also mentally prepared for this result, and she will be fine after being sad for a while.
In the ensuing ten-person melee, the sword and shield soldiers fully showed what teamwork is, and they cooperated in groups of three or two to flank one person, and that person didn't know how to deal with it at all, and was killed in an instant.
Surin explained to Felicia while watching: "Although there are ten people fighting ten people on the scene, but in some parts it is three fighting one, this is the reason why you lose, the key is the cooperation of weapons and teams." ”
Felicia has now accepted this result and will never insist on training the Four Horsemen again.
These two games also saw everyone's blood boiling, and they were still unsatisfied, they just watched the excitement, and those soldiers understood that they might not be able to become knights again, but seeing that the sword and shield soldiers on the field were so strong, they had a new goal in their hearts.
After the game, Surin and Yes returned to the house, and were about to rest for a while, when Stara and Gru walked in.
"Lord Duke, now can we start training sword and shield soldiers, I am willing to accept this task. Gru was the first to speak, the code of conduct for knights in his heart had completely collapsed, and he had trained them with his own hands before, but he didn't expect to fail.
"It's a good task for me, and I'm training them myself. Not to be outdone, Starta said.
Seeing the two of them like this, Su Lin also laughed, then looked at the two of them and said: "Okay, you don't have to fight anymore, I have my own arrangements for the two of you, the position of the leader of the sword and shield soldiers is not suitable for you, you let all the soldiers gather outside first, I have something to announce." ”
After sending the two of them away, Surin lay down in bed and prepared for sleep, while Felicia took Eve and a few other girls to the beach to swim, and since she learned to swim, she went almost every day.
Starr and Gru had already assembled their team outside the town by this time, but they still didn't come, and they couldn't give the order to leave, so they had to stand where they were.
An hour later, more than 1,000 of them were still standing in the sun, sweat pouring from their foreheads and their clothes wet.
"Old Niu, why don't you go and see why the Duke hasn't come yet?" Gru whispered into Star's ear.
"I'm not going. Starr directly and decisively refused.
Now everyone is too hot to handle, and the spear in their hands is so hot that they can barely hold it.
Another hour passed, and Su Lin walked out slowly, looking at the thousand people in front of him staggering, as if a gust of wind could blow them away.
He glanced at them before and after he walked to them, and then he said, "You."
However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard a plop, and several people fell directly to the ground and fainted, and he had to have people carry them down first.
"You are still a long way from being a true professional soldier, and you only need to remember the following points: dedication, sacrifice, obedience, hardship, and discipline, and for the sake of time, you have been assigned two simple tasks. ”
"First, run 10,000 meters in the morning and 10,000 meters in the evening. ”
"Second, stand here for two hours at noon every day, and are not allowed to move, and if one person makes a mistake, all of them will be punished. ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but come out, and their faces were full of incredulity, as if they had heard some terrible news.
At this time, Gru also leaned in front of Surin and said, "Lord Duke, isn't this a little too strict, we train knights"
Glu immediately closed his mouth in the middle of speaking, as he saw that Surin's eyes had become bright.
At this time, Su Lin also looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Captain Gru dares to question my orders, so now run circles around the town for me until I can't stand up." ”
"Yes. ”
Immediately Gru began to run around the town, without any expression on his face.
When the soldiers below saw this scene, they immediately didn't dare to make any sound, for fear that he would have some nerves.
At this time, Su Lin looked at the group of people in front of him and said, "I want you to remember that you are a collective, and if one person makes a mistake, all of them will be punished, so you will also run with me." ”
Soon the group of people also quickly ran towards Gru, envying the few people who fainted.
Su Lin looked at Star, who was still standing calmly next to him, as if he hadn't heard his words at all, and couldn't help but ask in a deep voice: "What are you still doing here, why don't you follow quickly." ”
"My lord, I don't have to run! didn't you say I didn't have to be their captain!" Sta struggled to squeeze out a smile.
"Hehe" Su Lin only sneered twice.
Seeing this, Starta also turned his head and chased after the large army.
At this moment Felicia also rode over, and when she saw the large crowd of people running around the town, she also asked, "What did you let them do?"
Su Lin directly turned over and sat behind Felicia and hugged her, explaining as he walked towards the town: "As a soldier, a warrior, physical fitness is the most basic and the most important, and it is too late to train them systematically, so we can only improve their physical fitness first." ”
Felicia looked at the people who were running wildly not far away, and she was looking forward to what kind of warriors they would eventually become.
In the evening, Gru and the others were too tired to get up, so they helped each other back to the camp, and then lay on the bed and refused to move, while crying out in pain.
"I'm not alive, I'm tired, my hands and feet are sore. ”
"You're better than me, my feet are no longer felt, I guess they're useless. ”
At this moment, a sudden smell of meat wafted in from outside, and everyone's stomachs couldn't help but growl, and then they rushed out at once, not at all like someone who was about to die of exhaustion before.
