Chapter XXIV The Second Option
Hearing the crisp whistle, the sleeping guards dressed neatly and quickly ran to the center of the playground to line up the queue.
Yesterday was the last day of rest after the battle of the guards, and Giggs had already told the incumbent guards that normal training would resume from today, and now the training of the guards was in charge of Giggs and Joe, and when the second day of the war between the guards and the gnolls, the elven instructors said goodbye to Sir Thor. Because they won't stay in the garrison forever to help the garrison train recruits, before they have done their job.
After the battle with the gnolls, the garrison caused a large number of attrition, and it was obvious that it was time to recruit new recruits again, and the elven instructors discussed it and directly submitted their farewell to Sir Thor. Sir Saul considered that the previous guards had almost been trained, so he no longer retained him, and was ready to let Giggs take charge of the training as well.
Get up early in the morning for a three-kilometer weightless run, which is the morning class of the guards, and the slow pace makes the bodies of the guards who have just woken up from sleep gradually rejuvenated, so that they have the energy to meet the day's training.
Giggs also began to try and learn the perspective of a manager, but even if Giggs is now managing everything in the garrison, his daily training is still going on, on the one hand, to show the guards, there is no soldier who does not like his commander is more powerful and mighty. A commander who can train with soldiers will also be admired by soldiers. On the other hand, Giggs does not forget that this is a dangerous world, where war and death can happen at any time, and in the end, only the weapons in his own hands can give him security.
Giggs was so busy right now, he never thought that a small guard could have so much going on. He had to report the daily expenses of the cooking class, he had to keep track of the training results of the guards, he had to visit the wounded in the ward, and with his own training, the upcoming recruitment, and the plan to recruit new melee soldiers to Sir Thor again, Giggs was very busy right now.
Aldu, who took the time to come over from the medical team to see him, couldn't help but laugh and said, "Giggs, it's so funny that you look like you're frowning~haha~"
"Don't talk nonsense, you go and tell Gibson, let him prepare the beds and personal belongings of the recruits who will come soon, tell me what is missing, I'll go report to Lord Saul~" Giggs, who was writing something, didn't raise his head, and commanded directly to Al. "It's really unreasonable~" Al howled miserably and dragged his body towards the door.
Giggs shook his head and continued to write something on the paper.
He is now writing a report on the establishment of a melee unit of the garrison, which reads, "The garrison has clearly exposed the weakness of the garrison in melee combat from a battle it has just experienced, and the initial battle template of the garrison is the elves from the forest, and the elves rely on the cover of the big forest, and the exquisite archery skills will be a nightmare for the enemy." ”
"And the original intention of the garrison from the establishment was to defend the town of your, so it could not perfectly play the ranger-like combat style of the garrison, but fell into the whirlpool of positional warfare. "I can only think of two ways to do this, one is what I said about recruiting melee soldiers, but the soldiers' melee ability training is enough, at that time the garrison lacked the economic strength to wear iron armor for the melee personnel, so the role of the melee personnel in the battle with the jackals was not as great as imagined. “
"Another method is to turn the garrisons into a flexible and mobile combat force, in this method, the garrison will no longer stick to the town of your, but take the initiative to attack, using the guards' marksmanship and mobility, to give the jackals the living force to kill and damage so as to achieve the strategic intention of defending the enemy from the country. ”
At this point, Giggs stopped writing, looked at the plan he had written, and after thinking about it, he still did not write the plan that it was best to equip the guards with horses, because the town of your did not have the financial resources to support a cavalry of 100 men.
Giggs actually prefers the second battle plan in his heart, and the biggest feeling given to Giggs in the battle just ended is that these gnolls are not copper-headed and iron-clad, they will hurt if they are cut on the body by a knife, and they will die if they are shot on the head by an arrow, so there is such a bold second plan by Giggs.
Giggs didn't know the bottom of his heart, he was not too familiar with Sir Thor's character, I don't know if he had the courage to choose the second option, put a unit that he had spent a lot of effort to build outside to attack a powerful enemy, and make the town's defense fail, I have to say that it takes a lot of courage to make this decision.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Ryan Giggs came to Sir Saul's door again,
"Knock knock~"
"Come in~" "My lord~" Giggs leaned over slightly, "This is my plan for the next development direction of the garrison~"
"In addition, I have arranged for the recruitment of new recruits for the garrison, and I can call them out at any time to those places where the displaced people gather, and I believe that the treatment of the garrison will be very attractive to those who are now even having a problem with eating~" Giggs reported respectfully to Sir Saul.
"Are you inclined to the second option?" asked Sir Thor suddenly, who was looking through the plan.
Giggs was stunned for a moment, then replied truthfully, "Yes, I think this will effectively kill the gnolls and save the lives of the guards as much as possible." ”
"This plan doesn't work, the town of your needs a garrison~" Sir Thor vetoed Giggs's proposal with a blank face.
"Yes, my lord~" Giggs didn't have any resentment, because Sir Thor was telling the truth.
"Instead, recruit some melee guards, this matter can be recruited more, now that the town of Ur has so many more people, the original number of people who maintain law and order in normal times is not busy, and these melee soldiers don't need to spend too much money on training like before, and their salaries can be reduced a little. Sir Thor touched his chin and said something that caught Giggs off guard. "So, my lord, how many people should be recruited?"
"This time the losses of the garrison are relatively large, and a hundred soldiers can be recruited for training, and on the way, they find good seedlings suitable for archery that can be divided into long-range troops, and as for the rest, they are all divided into melee personnel.
Giggs silently calculated in his heart, "In this way, the total number of guards will reach more than one hundred and seventy people in one fell swoop, will the finances of the town of your be tight, and what about the establishment of so many people?"
"You don't have to worry about finance, as for the establishment, just add another squadron, and then the number of people in each squad will be a little more~" Sir Thor smiled slightly and waved his hand.
Giggs gave Sir Thor a puzzled look, and then withdrew.
