Chapter Eighty-Six: It's All a Routine

In a few moments, the offended Sain's soldier rode back on horseback with a wooden dummy in his hand. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis dummy can be found everywhere in the barracks, and is usually used for various simulated combat training, and if necessary, the dummy is also covered with armor to make it more durable. There is also a charge at each other in cavalry training, where two cavalrymen charge head-on at top speed and attack each other as they stagger. Of course, both sides will keep their hands during training, but the level of recruits is not enough, and the other side will tie the dummy to the back of the horse instead.

"It's not appropriate to use a dummy, is it?" Kevin still suggested, "If the dummy is broken, it's a loss, just drag a piece of cloth." ”

Although the dummy is not a high-end device, it is normal to use it for damage during general training. However, if you are slashed by a sword, you can still use it to repair the seams, and if you are hit by a catapult stone bullet, it will be scrapped as a whole. Kevin has been mixed up for a long time and is not used to waste.

"It doesn't matter," Sain, who was obviously not a low-level person, raised his hand and waved, "Go, you tie the dummy around there and see if he can hit it." ”

Someone on the side suddenly said, "Let's use a dummy." You use a dummy when you train, and the crow can smash it when it sees a real person in actual combat. If you use cloth now, the crows will not be able to tell the difference. ”

Kevin broke out in a slight cold sweat, in the eyes of others, although Kevin's crow is smart, he is still a crow after all. However, Kevin has completely ignored the crow's intelligence problem, which will expose the crow's intelligence and the like, so he can only nod his head again and again.

Under the gaze of everyone, the soldier dragged the dummy all the way to the vicinity of the point where the Kevin stone bullet landed. He dragged the dummy about six or seven meters behind him, and he looked in this direction, and no one gave him an order or anything like that, and immediately began to run around, or in circles, or in a figure of eight, or in an emergency U-turn, or suddenly acceleration and deceleration.

Kevin frowned a little, looked at it for a moment and then could only shake his head: "This is too much." It's an irregular movement!"

"What's the matter?" Sain scoffed, "Didn't you say you could calculate the amount of advance?"

Kevin shook his head: "You're reasonable, aren't you? You just compared the catapult to a bow and arrow, if I move irregularly at 100 meters, can you shoot me?"

Sain was silent, as if he was also thinking about the feasibility of this matter, and the others on the side followed suit. In fact, we all know that most long-range attacks, including bows and arrows, are attacking high-speed moving targets, so it is necessary to predict the direction of their movement and pull out the prediction, unless it is a magic lock, or a large-scale attack. And if it's a completely irregular movement, then it's hard to predict.

Especially in the open area, face to face one-on-one, it is difficult for an experienced enemy to shoot him. Unless the difference in strength is too great, the speed of opening the bow and the rate of arrow fire are so fast that the opponent can't react. With the current gap between Kevin and Sain, it is obviously impossible. It is also normal to argue that catapults cannot predict irregular moving targets at a long distance.

"You'd better try it first," someone said, "maybe the crows are too scared to throw stones, hahaha!"

Kevin could only shake his head helplessly, this group of people didn't come to see how powerful Kevin was at all, but wanted to see Kevin make a fool of himself. Although Kevin has no grievances with them, who makes them all Sain's followers, and those who Sain doesn't like it, of course they will follow him.

"Then I'll try," Kevin said without further ado, adjusting the catapult. The soldier noticed that the catapult was shaking, and it was noticeably starting to speed up and becoming more irregular. Kevin was helpless, close to a distance of more than 500 meters, in fact, the other party could look at the stone and then dodge.

The stone flew out, and the crow flapped its wings in the air a few times, but the result was still useless, and the stone bullet deviated far away. By the standards of catapults, it is actually qualified, and by the standards of archers, it is actually okay, after all, archers do not have such a long range.

"Huh. Seeing Kevin's failure, Sain and the others all let out a sneer, and their disdain was all written on their faces.

Kevin was obviously unconvinced: "Your exercise is obviously unreasonable, you don't care how fast or slow, at least the speed is uniform, right?"

These people looked at each other and felt that what Kevin said also made some sense. Sain immediately waved his hand into the distance and called the hapless soldier back: "You move more regularly, and go in circles at a uniform speed." Our catapult captain was unconvinced, and it seemed that he was confident that we would give him another chance. Ha ha. ”

Everyone laughed in agreement, but the soldier hesitated: "Sir, this ...... It's dangerous. "Indeed, what if Kevin is mistaken, and Raven is excited, and throws a stone bullet at his head?

Kevin sneered: "What's the matter? Scared? Don't you think I can't vote?"

"Hmph," the other party also sneered, "I'm afraid that you can't vote accurately, so it's not easy to hide." You can still shoot at the target, and I'm certainly not worried about anything. ”

"Then since you are afraid, then change someone. "Kevin doesn't care, it's impossible to play him anyway.

Sain's face was gloomy and he looked at the soldiers: "Go, what are you afraid of? Just hide when the stone comes!"

The soldier had no choice but to drag the dummy back to the target location. This time it was really a constant speed circle, the speed was not fast, in a state of sudden acceleration of advance, retreat and emergency reining of the horse, the dummy in the rear was dragged all the way by the neck, looking very pitiful.

Kevin immediately stopped talking nonsense, took out drawings and pens, and began to measure the distance and speed of the other party. In fact, after the success rate of attacking fixed-point targets was high, Kevin still began to theoretically calculate the attack direction and angle of moving targets, although it was only theoretical, but it was better than completely blinding.

The cavalry on the side saw that Kevin was very professional, and couldn't help but be very curious, and they all came over to look at Kevin's drawings. But they couldn't read it, they just thought it was a mess, like graffiti, something like that.

In a moment, Kevin finished estimating, adjusted the angle, saw the timing, and slammed the wrench.

The stone bullet flew out, the crow guided, everyone watched with bated breath, and the soldiers dragging the target in the distance were even more nervous, feeling that the stone bullet that was getting closer and closer was coming at him. subconsciously tightened his legs, and Ma suddenly sped up.

Bang! The stone bomb hit the ground, and it missed again. But this time, Kevin has a full excuse: "Obviously, he has increased his speed! Just said that he is moving at a constant speed, this friend's education level is a bit low." Can't you understand the meaning of constant velocity?"

"Come back to me!" Sain yelled into the distance with a displeased face.

The others on the side also spoke for Sain: "Constant speed is useless, who will be uniform on the battlefield." If you see a stone bomb coming, you will hide. "That is, if you want to compare bows and arrows, bows and arrows have many shooting skills, multiple shots and so on. You can only throw them one by one. "And if you want to say on the battlefield, that's a different concept. You can shoot with your eyes closed on the battlefield, and it becomes pointless for you to practice this. ”

"It's just, pointless. "It's not interesting, it's a waste of time. "And what is your drawing?" ...... A group of people questioned Kevin, but Kevin still forcibly retorted: "That's not completely useless." For example, I can sneak attack, sneak attack from a distance!"

"Huh. The crowd shook their heads or sneered.

At this time, the soldier who dragged the target rushed back, of course he knew the problem, and had already apologized first: "Sorry, the horse suddenly lost control just now." "It's easy to put the blame on the horse, which is almost the usual trick of most cavalry to shirk responsibility.

Sain didn't say anything more, but said, "Then you go again, if you get out of control again, you can only drag the target on foot." ”

The soldier was immediately ordered to drag the target again to make a uniform circle motion.

Kevin starts the catapult and fires again. However, this time, it really missed the target. The soldier didn't change his speed in any way, and Kevin literally missed the target.

"Cut. "Huh. The crowd sneered.

Kevin's face looked very embarrassed: "Do it again!"

Adjust the angle, recall the crow, and fire again!

"Huh. Everyone sneered and looked at each other, as if they had seen through Kevin's level.

"One more time. Kevin's voice was a little angry.

The crowd just squinted and watched, and saw the stone projectile fired again, and then smashed not far behind the target.

"Alright. Sain sneered, "Catapults weren't meant to do this, it's a joke that you spent so much money on something." ”

"I think I've made a lot of progress after just three throws," Kevin said, "Just a few more times, and it will be a success!"

Although everyone looked disdainful, they also felt that what Kevin said was possible, and they didn't say anything to refute it for a while.

As a result, Kevin added: "As long as I train successfully, even if I am a great mage, I will be stoned to death!"

"Poof!" "Hahaha......" The cavalry all burst into laughter, which was probably the most ridiculous line they had ever heard.

"What's ridiculous!" Kevin was still serious, "the catapult stone bullet has no vindictiveness, no magic, and no murderous spirit. The Archmage has a strong sense of perception, but he can't sense this dead thing. Isn't it normal to hit a stone on the head and kill you in an unguarded situation?"

"Hahahaha......" everyone was still laughing.

It wasn't until halfway through the ring that Sain finally stopped: "Throughout the ages, I really haven't heard of an archmage who was stoned to death. You've probably read too many novels and become brainless, haven't you?"

Kevin didn't pay any attention to them, and the soldier who was dragging the target over there hadn't come back yet, still spinning in circles at a constant speed. Kevin immediately started the catapult again, and smashed it again.

Miss! Shoot again! Miss! Continue! Still miss!

The crowd taunted: "Wow! This is the stone bullet that smashed the archmage!" "Scary! "He also stoned the archmage, and the crow flew close with a stone projectile, which an ordinary high-level mage could detect. Also the Great Magister. ”......

Kevin didn't pay attention to it, and still fired the stone bullet on his own, and then the bullet missed, and even the soldiers who were dragging the target began to get bored. This process did not disperse until the end of the evening training and everyone closed their teams. When he left, he was still talking about Kevin's stupidity and funny.

Kevin looked very lost, and took the crow and sat on the catapult and slowly returned. Most of the soldiers passing by looked at him curiously, and it was obvious that Sain and the others had already returned to the camp first, telling everyone about Kevin's ridiculous remarks. At this time, everyone was watching Kevin's jokes, and people who originally had a good impression of Kevin also felt that Kevin was arrogant and ignorant at this time.

But as soon as he returned to his room, Kevin immediately changed his expression, and instead lay on the bed with a relaxed face, more like he had done a big deal today. The crow flew up to Kevin, didn't speak or bark, just looked at him.

Kevin touched the crow, "What?

The crow stood still.

Kevin took out a piece of meat and gave it to eat: "Don't worry, it's not so easy to move the target, we just hit it for the first time today." I didn't expect you to be on target. ”

"Instead, we solved a big problem. We have few people, and no one drags targets for us. It costs money to hire someone, and it is not cost-effective. Let's just let them do it for them," Kevin lay down comfortably, "These people will inevitably come up with all kinds of methods to prevent us from being targeted, but this is a good opportunity for us to train." Hold on to it. ”

The crow bowed its head and pecked at the meat, it should have understood, at least it had a good appetite.

"Look at the way I look after tomorrow," Kevin reminded, "Normally, you target a meter or so behind the target and don't hit it." If we hit it, maybe they won't play with us. If necessary, I will prompt you to smash it with my eyes. Understood?"

"Ahhh......h

"I'm going to continue to be stupid and add some jokes to them. Then they think it's funny here, and they'll come back later," Kevin yawned, turned to sleep, and muttered, "It's all a routine." ”

The next day, Kevin went to the old place to train, and sure enough, after a while, Sain and the others came again: "Yo! That's how everyone said hello to Kevin.

Kevin turned his head away, looking unwilling to talk to them. The other party laughed: "Come, continue!" "The Great Magister is going to be stoned to death today!hahaha!" ......

"Go on, go on, come on!" Kevin looked very reluctant.

So the day passed like this, and all the bullets missed, and Kevin still spoke wildly, better than yesterday. Not only can the Grand Magus be stoned to death, but so can the Juggernaut.

After all, the physical fitness of the Sword Master is much stronger than that of the Great Magus, if it is barely theoretically feasible to smash the Great Magus, then it is considered completely impossible to smash the Sword Master. The Juggernaut just stood still, didn't let go of his fighting spirit, and couldn't die if he was hit with a stone. The door of the brain is hard.

But Kevin said that it can be replaced with a smaller metal projectile, and the iron egg is more powerful than the stone projectile, and if the Juggernaut hits it defenselessly, he will definitely die.

In this regard, everyone laughed again, and kept laughing and laughing that today is over.

On the third day, everyone went to look for Kevin again, as if they wanted to see what else Kevin had to laugh at, and they no longer cared if the stone bullet could be hit. Kevin didn't disappoint them, saying that he pretended to have some crossbow arrows around the catapult, and when they were launched, they could kill more than two dozen people.

The crowd laughed.

On the fourth day, Kevin said that it was possible to add a giant crossbow to the catapult's throwing arm, so that the crossbow and trebuchet would be more powerful in one. The crowd laughed again.

On the fifth day, Kevin said that if the giant crossbow arrow can be equipped with a mechanism, when it flies closer, the crow activates the mechanism, and the front part of the arrow is disengaged, and another arrow flies out of the arrow, which is faster. The Archmage of the Juggernaut is a little guarded, and maybe he will be killed as well.

The crowd laughed again, and laughed even crazier.

This week, Kevin's "stupidity" almost spread throughout the barracks, you must know that on the mainland, the Sword Saint and the Great Magister are the top combat power in the mainland, and the people who talk about killing them at every turn are as ridiculous as a farmer saying that he wants to be a king every day.

It's not that no one analyzes Kevin's assumptions, but they see more of the flaws in the assumptions. What? What? The throwing arm is equipped with a big crossbow? The catapult is so heavy that it can't be pulled, what's the use? The throwing arm can't be thrown accurately, what's the use of shaking even more? Hahaha!

Kevin doesn't argue much with them, because he's meant to be stupid. For this, both Kevin and Raven get a certain exercise in the attack on moving targets. On the surface, it still misses most, but in fact, 80% of them can shoot 1 meter behind the target, which is basically qualified.

Of course, training can't stop there, and after the weekend, Kevin continued to train, and the group of idlers continued to watch. However, Kevin has a limit to being "stupid", and "stupid" to the current state, Kevin can't be "stupid" anymore, and if he goes on, he will be mentally retarded.

However, these onlookers have become a kind of inertia, even if Kevin doesn't say anything, they will come up with the words that Kevin used to be "stupid" and continue to tease Kevin. Kevin is unhappy on the surface, but inside he doesn't care, as long as there is someone to spar with.

This process lasted until the end of December. At the end of each year, there are a bunch of things, it has been a month since the recruits joined the army, and all the indicators and abilities need to be preliminarily reported and summarized. After that, it will be assessed and accepted to check whether the report of the chief is really qualified.

General Oude again convened a meeting of the independent departments, and each of the independent departments began to report on the situation. When it came to the second brigade, its captain spoke: "Our team is in good condition, fully equipped with weapons and equipment, and the plan for the whole year of the year has been completed with excellent results. After the new officers enlisted in the army in June, they were able to integrate well into it and play the role of officers. The training of recruits in December is now progressing smoothly, and 30 recruits have passed all the qualities in just one month. The pass rate of the whole team has now reached 83%"

The general nodded: "Is there anything special to report?"

The commander of the second brigade hesitated for a moment, but still replied: "There are some new officers who have not been very serious about training recently. Training time often drifts to other units, this ...... Needs improvement. ”

The venue was quiet for a moment, everyone knew who was talking about, and the general also knew, but it was inconvenient to say anything, at most he would educate his son in private.

The debriefing went all the way to Kevin. Kevin immediately learned their format: "My team is in good condition, fully equipped with weapons, and this year's annual plan has only been here for half a year, so in terms of only half a year, I have completed it well." There has been no progress at all in the training of recruits in December, and none of the recruits have reached the level of qualified qualifications. However, the pass rate of our whole team is 100%. ”

The atmosphere in the meeting was strange, many people held back laughter, and the general asked like everyone else, "Is there anything special to report?"

Kevin replied: "I would like to give a special thanks to Sain from Team 2, who worked tirelessly to lead a group of people during training time, constantly mentoring me and even providing me with targets. I had an in-depth discussion with them and exchanged views. As a result, my current level of catapult has made great progress, and I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude again. ”

Everyone: "......"

Kevin continued: "And I only learned today that the race was because of me and abandoned my training, for which I am concerned and regretful. I hope that in the future, Sain will help me without forgetting my training tasks and becoming a real qualified ...... Oh no, good officers. ”

Everyone: "......"
