Chapter 204: Talents
An officer who was directing the soldiers to practice formation ran over, stood upright, and gave Randy a military salute with a "snap", "Second Platoon Commander Su Duozhen see Randy Chief." ”
Randy didn't wear a hat, and slapped his chest with his right hand and returned the salute, "Take a break." ”
Randy saw that this young man had a well-looking face, and he had a bookish look, obviously having read a book, and he looked a little big in a New Army officer's uniform.
These military uniforms were taken from the warehouse of the Erjin family, I didn't expect to recruit such a small soldier, there is no suitable one, especially not such a small officer uniform.
"Young man, how can you come to join the army if you don't continue to study at such a young age."
"Report sir, I am a first-year student of the Provincial No. 2 Normal School, and our principal was arrested and killed by the government a few days ago because of his sympathy for the Heaven and Earth Society.
I don't want to miss it, I haven't thought about where to go, I'm going to go back to Huaihua's hometown first, passing by Shi Lanchong, I saw you recruiting, so I came. ”
Randy and Liu Ming glanced at each other, this is still a progressive student.
Liu Ming's intermediate-level astrolabe appeared in his hand, "Come, call a few people, and give Chief Randy a rehearsal of your formation." ”
Only then did Randy discover that this young man had a faint aura fluctuation on his body, and he was at the apprentice level, but listening to Liu Ming's meaning, it turned out to be a probationary array mage.
How is this possible? The trainees of Sword Hill need to study for four years before they can become trainee formation mages, and when they reach the army, they can immediately become platoon commanders.
With a certain amount of experience, it is also possible to be the captain of a company.
It is rare for someone like Ruiyuan to become a full-fledged formation mage after graduation, and he can command a battalion.
Liu Ming is an unborn genius, he was self-taught in his twenties and became an intermediate formation mage, after all, he was old.
Such a child, one year younger than Sanmao, still attends a normal school, where is the apprentice formation mage promoted?
No wonder Liu Ming asked him to be a platoon commander, being educated is different. However, a sixteen-year-old trainee array mage, this is too outrageous, right?
Platoon Commander Su took the astrolabe and went to find his subordinates. Liu Ming pointed to his back, "Comrade Randy, you can't even imagine that this kid is yesterday, under my nose, the trainee formation mage who was promoted."
When he asked to join the army, I thought he was young and disagreed, so he boasted that he was familiar with military books and knew formations since he was a child, but he didn't have the opportunity to fight.
I saw that his spiritual power entered the body, and it was a cultivation material, so I lent him a astrolabe for him to try.
Who knew that the first time he tried to set up a formation and commanded four recruits, he put the five elements array in a regular manner, not bad at all, and automatically advanced on the spot.
I'm just an intermediate formation mage, but I don't have the master-level ability to give him empowerment and pass on the exercises.
He was able to advance by self-realization, but I only reached this point at the age of twenty, and it was really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves. ”
Randy smiled and shook his head, Liu Ming was only twenty-four years old, and he was also self-taught.
This kind of self-realization and promotion, without the guidance of a teacher, can find the right path, all of them are geniuses, and their abilities can be compared to the sword master Dugu who created his own kendo, anyway, Randy himself doesn't have that ability.
Liu Ming is not only amazing in formation ability, but also resourceful, and he is also the material of a military division.
Platoon Commander Su is a real formation wizard, and his current age is limited by experience, it is impossible for him to have Liu Ming's ability to understand the world, Liu Ming is too humble.
Platoon Commander Su led four of his subordinates over, holding rifles, and stood in formation, which was still a regular five-element formation.
In fact, he knows more than one formation, because it is for the supreme commander here, Randy, who is small but has a stable personality, and still uses the same formation as yesterday to avoid failure.
As soon as the astrolabe lit up, five faint white circles were formed, and five people stepped on them, and the white circles were bright, indicating that the amplification effect of the formation on the battle had taken effect.
Although Randy doesn't know how to set up, he has seen a lot. The graduates of Sword Hill were promoted to trainee array mages, and they used the Five Elements Array.
There are countless paths to the wrong path, but there are not many paths to the right one.
The students who learn the formation of Jianqiu have the teacher's empowerment to teach the correct position, and the brain understands, but the operation is often not accurate, and it takes countless exercises to meet the rhythm taught by the teacher, and the promotion is recognized.
Being able to rely on self-understanding, eliminate thousands of wrong paths, and lay out every position in one step represents talent and understanding.
Randy's own talent is mid-to-top, and it's not amazing.
The standard techniques taught by Master Li Jinglin have been practiced thousands of times, and he relies on diligence to make up for the shortcomings.
He also gave people a sparring partner, as a human sandbag, experienced countless actual battles, and surpassed his peers when he graduated, and was promoted to a junior swordsman, which was praised by Zeng Shanchang.
So for this kind of amazing talent, Randy is quite envious.
After seeing that the platoon leader Su activated the five-element array once, his face was a little pale.
This Randy knows that he has just been promoted, and he still needs to cultivate more before his spiritual power can rise steadily, and now his magic ability is a little insufficient.
Randy cherishes talents, and has the urge to give him a sip of fairy wine, but stops. patted Platoon Commander Su on the shoulder, "Practice hard, you will definitely have a great future in the future." ”
looked back at Liu Ming, "Old Liu, I'm going to invite Shi Yuan to come and give them a lecture, it's a pity that such a talent doesn't become our comrade." ”
Liu Ming took the astrolabe back, "I have this intention, and I haven't told you yet." It's a pity that I'm not even a sage, and I can't take on the responsibility of popularizing dragon slaying. ”
Immortal wine is limited, and Randy is preparing to increase his abilities after Platoon Leader Su becomes a comrade.
Liu Ming held the astrolabe in his hand, "It seems that Randy, you have to prepare to buy another one for Platoon Leader Su." ”
Randy nodded, just a astrolabe.
You must know that in this way, in the Tianshan Mountains, it was captured from the military adviser sent to Agubo by the Elven Kingdom, and it would be good not to sell it.
"Well, can you let me try it too-"
Well? Randy looked back, and at the base of the wall, he saw his younger brother Lan Zuo.
"Aren't you busy studying? Why did you get here? ”
"Me, I like to watch the army train, and when they finish practicing, I can learn to make up for the homework in the middle of the night."
"Nonsense, you just want to be a formation mage, and you have to wait until you graduate from Master Xu, and then find a military school to study, this thing will take four years to learn, and you will be a family."
Lan Zuo pointed at the platoon leader, "Why can he?" I'm seventeen, a year older than him. ”
Liu Ming came over to be a peacemaker, "Let him try."
On the first day, he saw you and left. Yesterday I recruited soldiers and started training, and he came to see him after school and asked me several questions, your younger brother also knows the art of war. ”
Randy scratched his head, "How did I not know?" Then you can try, but if you fool me, you don't understand at all, see if I don't beat you. ”
Lan Zuo is not afraid at all, his brother has never beaten him, every time he is just scared.
Take Liu Ming's astrolabe and try to enter the magic power.
After figuring out how to operate, he called two of Su Platoon Commander's subordinates, went to get a gun himself, laboriously carried it on his back, gave two instructions, and activated the astrolabe.
Three faint circles appear on the ground, one in front and two behind.
The two soldiers and Lan Zuo stood up, and the circle turned out to be bright, and the three cai arrays were successfully arranged.
Randy was surprised, "There are really two hits, when did you learn it?" ”
Liu Ming patted Lan Zuo's shoulder, "It's not easy, it's not easy, although it's not as good as Su Platoon Leader, it's also good to be able to set up a three-talent formation by self-study." ”
The Five Elements Array is the bottom line for advancing to the trainee array mage, and the Three Talents Array is much simpler, of course, it can't be promoted.
Fortunately, it is at least more complicated than the Liangyi Array, and it is also rare for a self-learner.
Randy was in a good mood, "I didn't expect Lan Zuo that you also have this kind of talent, when you graduate from private school, I will definitely send you to a good military school."
By the way, I have a federal medal in my hand, and you can go to West Point. ”
Being able to enter West Point without testing is a step to the sky, but Lan Zuo is not satisfied.
"No, it's not like I can't put on a five-element array, you see."
Lan Zuo took out a book, "This is the "Formation Foundation" given to me by Brother Erjin, when you were in school in Jianqiu, I begged Brother Erjin to buy it in Jiangxia, and I will also do it with the Five Elements Array."
However, I think that the Five Elements Array Jianghu Brawl is useful, and on the battlefield, it is outdated. ”
"Lan Zuo, don't be complacent with a little achievement, Lao Liu is an intermediate array mage, you can't even reach the apprentice array mage, blow this in front of him?
What else is the Five Elements Array outdated? I'm blushing for you.
You must know that in Jianqiu, the foundation of this formation is only a first-grade textbook, and you will have to learn intermediate and advanced textbooks in the future, and you can command actual combat in the fourth grade.
You want to run before you learn to walk, you're too anxious. ”
Lan Zuo usually listened to his brother's words very much, and when he talked about the formation, he suddenly became stubborn.
"I'm going to try again, I'm going to show you the formation I created myself, which is based on the three-talent formation."
"Only the saint level can create their own formations, don't mess around."
"Randy let him try it, I'll help you palm the eye, even if it fails, there may be a shining point."
Randy felt that he was a little too used to his brother, and it was taboo to play around with soldiers under the pretense that he was his own brother.
But since Liu Ming has spoken, he has to give this face.
Randy became serious, "If you don't have any doorway and make fun of the soldiers, I will not only beat you, but also march the law and lock you up." ”
Lan Zuo's neck straightened, "I must try." ”
This time, he took the branches and drew nine circles on the ground, three in groups, and the three groups were also arranged in a triangle.
The last two are positive triangles, but the first one is an inverted triangle.
While drawing, he said, "Now that there are machine guns and artillery on the battlefield, the dense formation will definitely suffer."
This kind of dispersion, but also support each other's formation, is the most suitable, I have been thinking about it for more than two years, and I also told Brother Erjin, but unfortunately he doesn't understand it at all. ”
Randy didn't understand it too well, he relied on light armor to resist bullets, but Liu Ming was thoughtful.
"I need eight soldiers, preferably two of them are cultivators, it's okay to have none, but it won't be the best effect."
Platoon Commander Su brought seven soldiers, and Lan Zuo arranged them one by one, counting himself as exactly one squad.
He stood at the sharp corner of the inverted triangle in the front row, in the center of the formation, and the platoon leader was arranged to the deputy squad leader position on the inside of the left triangle in the back row.
There should also be a cultivator on the inside of the right triangle in the back row, but no, it can only be replaced by ordinary soldiers.
Lan Zuo took a deep breath and activated the astrolabe.
The distance between the three small triangles was more than 30 meters, and it occupied half of the courtyard, and the trained soldiers were all squeezed to the tent to rest.
There are commonly used formations in the astrolabe, and the more advanced the astrolabe, the more formations are stored.
Cloth ready-made formations, the astrolabe can give the approximate position, and the arranger only needs to adjust it slightly.
However, there is no precedent for the self-created formation, and the position of the nine circles is completely controlled by Lan Zuo himself with spiritual power and magic power.
If you want to deploy a new formation in such a large area that is not built-in, you have to at least have an intermediate formation mage like Liu Ming.
With the expansion of the area of the nine apertures, Lan Zuo saw sweat on his forehead, and finally couldn't control it, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Randy rushed forward, a bottle of red potion appeared in his hand, and poured it into his brother, "Let you do it, hurry up and rest." ”
His brother was wounded, and Randy stopped talking about confinement.
Lan Zuo wiped the blood from his mouth, extremely stubborn, "Brother, can you give me another sip of immortal wine?" ”
Randy wanted to reprimand, but on his brother's resolute face, he saw that when he practiced his sword, he vowed not to give up until he achieved his goal.
I practiced the sword without sleep, until I vomited blood, and I did it myself, and I was reluctant to use red medicine, so I could only rely on the budding spell of the withered vine ring to slowly recover.
Randy's heart softened, he took out the wine jug and glass, poured a glass and handed it to Lan Zuo.
The younger brother fought like this, and Randy pulled down the ordinary soldier on the inside of the right back triangle and stood up himself.
Lan Zuo held the immortal wine in his hand, but he didn't drink it, walked to the position of the squad leader, took the astrolabe, and poured the wine down in one gulp.
Lan Zuo's eyes immediately darkened, showing drunkenness, Lan Zuo stopped with a strong will, and nine faint circles were quickly spread out, accurately positioned in the pre-drawn position.
The other eight people in the array, including Randy, adjusted their positions and completely stood in the circle, and the circle suddenly brightened up, emitting a dazzling light, and the formation was unexpectedly successful.
Lan Zuo fell to the ground all of a sudden, snoring loudly, and finally got drunk. There was a flash of white light on his body, and Randy detected it slightly, and sure enough, he was promoted to a trainee array mage.
It's not easy, my brother is such a genius.
Before Randy could finish sighing, the sky was out of phase, and a large cloud of white light gathered in the sky, falling from the sky and submerging into the astrolabe on Lan Zuo's body and hands.
The mid-level astrolabe exploded with a bang, and the sleeping Lan Zuo absorbed a large amount of white light, and suddenly flashed strongly again before it gradually dimmed.
