This was a real victory, the result of the unremitting efforts of the soldiers, after defeating the last soldier of the Blue Wolf Infantry Battalion, Kenny's battalion all shouted, and some even hugged each other and cried, and the scene was uncontrollable for a while.

After the war, Kenny named his battalion the Rock Infantry Battalion, becoming the second infantry battalion to bear the nickname.

Warner and his warriors were anxious in their eyes, but Warner didn't seem to be good at leading troops, and Myron let Isaac take Warner's place in time. Unexpectedly, Isaac was very talented in leading the troops, and on the third day after taking over as the captain, he led the battalion to defeat the Blue Wolf Infantry Battalion, and the battalion has since earned the nickname: Charm Fox Infantry Battalion.

In this way, the infantry regiment does physical training and combat training during the day, and during the break in the middle, Myron will talk about some methods of defeating the enemy with one move and the application of some actual combat skills, such as: night attack, climbing, arson, lurking, etc.

On the one hand, the confrontation training is to train the bloodiness of these recruits, so that they will not be afraid of the enemy, and on the other hand, it is to train the recruits in formation, so that the formation is not scattered when facing the enemy, and can play 2-3 people in a small area.

During this time, the recruits worked hard to train their formations in order to win, and many soldiers did not forget to shout the slogan of maintaining the formation even when they dreamed. By the end of the second month of training, the recruits have mastered the basics. Now, Myron finally dared to take them out for actual combat drills.

The slaves had been working very hard a while ago, and this hard work was not only physical, but also mentally devastating. Since the last time Myron led people to destroy an orc village, there were suddenly many more orcs active in the vicinity in all corners of the mountains and forests.

Following the 300 slaves are 50 warriors drawn from the nine-tailed fox mercenary group, if there is a small group of orc activities, they will naturally be sent away by the mercenary group, but once there is a slip through the net, more than a hundred orcs will come over after a while. At this time, the mercenary group will lead the slaves to run away en masse, and as for the tools, materials and so on, they will be left behind one after another. When they return, they usually find that most of the tools have been picked up by the orcs, and the materials used for construction are in good condition.

As a result, the expenditure of tools became a large expense for Myron in the past two months.

During this period, there were not many combat attrition, after all, everyone was playing hide and seek. However, there are a lot of non-combat attrition, and few of those who have been separated can come back. On the one hand, the slaves ran away when they got separated, and on the other hand, many of the slaves who were left behind were captured by the orcs, and as for what they were caught for, the explanation in the report was: "The purpose is unknown".

After such days lasted for half a month, Myron finally couldn't sit still. Fortunately, the orcs didn't have a strategy before, just a small fight, otherwise the slaves and mercenaries sent out would really risk being wiped out. It's just that the previous training was not completed, and Myron rashly took the army out and couldn't play its due role, so he could only tell everyone not to do anything and run away when he saw the orcs.

To say that the results are not impossible, at least in the past few years, whether it is a mercenary or a slave, there has been great progress in sprinting and long-distance running. As for those who are slow to progress, they don't need to progress now.

After the second month's training course, Myron went directly to the Western Regions with the infantry regiment. The training content of the third month is: fighting, survival.

According to the previous investigation, the orcs that appeared this time were about 500 per person. With this number of orc warriors, the infantry regiment should be able to eat, and it is estimated that it will be a crushing victory if it is not hard to fight. Because the average level of orc warriors is around level 3-4, while the soldiers of infantry regiments are mainly level 1, there is a big gap in individual strength. Moreover, orcs are a warlike race, and they can completely crush humans of the same level in terms of strength.

However, the infantry regiment was not without advantages. First of all, there are 100 people in the infantry regiment who are recruited according to the standard of level 4 mercenaries, and their own strength is comparable to that of the orc Qihu, coupled with sophisticated equipment and tactical coordination, they can crush the orcs of the same level. After all, no matter how ferocious the orcs are, they can't use wooden sticks to make holes in the shield wall, let alone be stabbed by spears and unscathed.

And those recruits, as long as they follow the methods of training, rely on the formation to resist the impact of the orcs, and then play a small cooperation of 2-3 people, then they will also have the strength to fight.

Now, the focus is on the equipment. If the equipment is good enough, then this battle is just a survival exercise in the wild, and if the equipment is not good, it is a wilderness death.

Fortunately, Myron had been prepared, and the equipment of the infantry regiment was all ready 10 days earlier. Myron equipped the infantry with the best knightly armor currently available in the Duchy of Lane. Of course, this best refers to the best for the legionnaires, not the armor that was made for the nobility.

Among them, the pikemen were 300 men, standing in 3 rows, the first row was equipped with a 1-man high tower shield, mainly responsible for withstanding the enemy's charge. The back two rows take advantage of the convenience of long-handled weapons, and you can output hard in the back.

The rest of the warriors were all armed with swords, with 100 hands/crossbows in the fourth row, and all the rest with longbows, and the arrows were to follow the tradition of the nine-tailed fox - applying numbing. Due to the relatively short training time, longbowmen are basically unable to make accurate strikes, and the rate of fire is not fast. However, Myron doesn't have too many requirements, as long as he encounters the enemy 100 meters ago, he will first throw a wave collectively, and then throw a wave when he is 50 meters, so that the dense projectile of 1200 arrows can also bring a lot of damage to the orcs without shield walls and armor.

The crossbowmen, on the other hand, wait until the enemy has rushed through the second wave of sword rain to carry out a precise strike against the fish that have slipped through the net. Myron believes that with the orcs of 500 per person, after these 3 rounds of blows, they should not be able to make any big waves.

As for the purchase of long-range equipment, Myron was opposed by almost everyone. Ranged equipment is expensive, costing 15 gold for a longbow and 40 gold for a hand/crossbow. And the best full-body armor spear or battle knife at the moment, this set of equipment only needs 10 gold coins. So, equipping a Pikeman costs 10 gold, and equipping an archer costs 25 gold.

And a good archer can only shoot 3 arrows before battle, but it is unknown how much damage it can do, not to mention the shield wall that specializes in defending against bows and arrows. Therefore, although the regular army has archers, they will never raise such a high proportion of archers like Myron. After all, with so much money, it is completely possible to form two more legions.

The opposition of the crowd is not unreasonable. This time, it cost 25,000 gold to buy equipment, but only 1,100 people were equipped. Even by the standards of the Imperial City Praetorian Guard, 25,000 gold coins is enough to equip 2,500 infantry. No matter how you look at it, everyone will feel that 2500/person is more lethal.

But Myron doesn't think so. In his view, every soldier is a valuable asset. As long as these big-headed soldiers live long enough, they may grow into qualified generals step by step. The more experienced a soldier is, the greater the threat on the battlefield. Although it cost Myron a total of 13,000 gold coins to buy a longbow and crossbow arrows, even if he could only kill 100 orcs in advance, Myron felt that it was very worth it. Moreover, after considering the issue of pensions, it will be found that being able to exchange gold coins for opponents is actually the most cost-effective way.

What's more, with the presence of anesthetic, some slaves can also be captured alive and come back as absenteeism.

After two months of hard work, the slaves built a path the width of a carriage on the road to the mine. Because of the rush of time, many places were uneven, but it was possible to barely let the carriage pass.

The infantry regiment had only entered the Western Regions for a day when it encountered retreating slaves and mercenaries.

"How's the situation up front?" Myron asked a mercenary.

"The roads have been basically paved to ensure the transportation of materials, but the mining area and the base have not started construction at all. The location of the mine and the base has been chosen, and we can build the base on the top of a mountain, surrounded by open, difficult to defend and water. The reason why we did not start construction was that we could not defend with our current strength, and it would be easy to be surrounded and annihilated if we forcibly started construction. "This mercenary is the person in charge of Myron's temporary appointment, and the report is more detailed.

"In addition, the loss of tools is severe. The mercenary thought for a moment and added again.

"Don't worry about the tools, this time I came here and brought another batch, and 300 slaves have just been bought. Myron said.

Hearing that another slave had joined, the temporary captain was very excited, "Great, this way the construction speed can be doubled, the faster the safer." "It seems that this kind of desperate days have brought a lot of pressure to everyone.

Three days later, Myron led a large army to the mine. There was nothing special about this place, if it weren't for Olivia's people who brought them here once, Myron wouldn't have guessed that there would be a large area of aquamarine ore underground, even if he passed by here every day. If there's one thing that's special about it, it's that it's just a little higher than the surrounding area. And this slightly higher terrain appears in mountain and forest areas, which is not special.

However, this is a good place to build a base, first of all, there is a water source, only a simple drainage, you can lead the river water to the base, which is very convenient. Then, the surrounding land is relatively flat and fertile, suitable for growing crops. Of course, there are trees now, but these trees can be used as building materials, and they are not wasted at all.

Now that the army had arrived, Myron told the slaves to hurry up and get to work. The first to be built is naturally the barracks, which can only be built with wood at this stage, although it is not as strong as stone, but it is better because the construction period is short, and an effective defense can be formed within a few days. Only after she has a defensive capability will Myron consider her next step.

Since entering the Western Regions, Myron has been instilling in the infantry regiments the knowledge of survival in the wilderness: how to find food and water, how to march in the mountains and forests to save physical strength, how to track, how to hide their tracks, how to set traps, how to mislead the enemy by creating false traces, and so on.
