Chapter 22: The Four Professions
The Vulture Swordsman has been around for a long time as a subclass of the swordsman class. This subclass has the advantage of being able to quickly and widely move around, and it can avoid some ground traps and attacks. Most of the time it is the choice of some low-level mercenaries.
However, this profession really became a profession that people paid attention to after Amy, the mercenary king, made it a class and specially equipped with a longsword suitable for this profession.
After the first appearance of this branch of arms on the battlefield, it immediately became a new topic for arms scientists, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the appearance of this branch of arms has greatly shortened the time of war.
"The Theory of Mutual Restraint of Modern Arms"
Chapter 22 Four Professions
Although Amy had imagined that Daqingshan would do what he said, she was still shocked by the fact: the sight of more than 80 wild vultures arranged like wooden stakes would shock anyone.
Talking about opening the door of the shack, Amy poked in, and immediately flipped over and jumped out with great speed: a stench came out of the shack with a cooing sound. At this time, Daqingshan obviously also heard someone coming from outside and walked out of the shack. All of them frowned: the always clean Daqingshan black sè clothes were covered with bird droppings, and bird feathers were still stuck to their heads.
"Daqingshan, aren't you pretending to be a vulture sacrificing to attract them?" asked Amy, pinching her nose, the smile on her face turning into a wry smile.
Da Qingshan shook his head innocently: "No, I caught all those adult wild vultures, I was afraid that the little ones would be hungry, so I asked Lu'er to take them out of the nest yesterday, a total of more than 30, and they are feeding." ”
"How did you catch them? Could it be that these vultures, like those stupid dragons, listen to Lu'er very much and recognize him as the boss?"
Da Qingshan shook his head with a sincere smile on his face.
After Amy left, Daqingshan let Lu'er fly over the sea, trying to make as much noise as possible so that the vultures would not dare to come out, and he went to the nearby market to buy some very elastic deer tendon ropes and roast chicken. When he returned, he pulled up a long rope of deer tendons between the two trees, tied a roast chicken in the middle of the rope, and pulled many roots. The vultures didn't dare to go out to sea, they had been hungry for a day, and they immediately rushed down when they saw the food, they all thought that they could stand on the rope, and according to their habits, they all wanted to stand on the rope and go to eat food, but as soon as the rope was full of play, it immediately went down, and after the vulture found out that something was wrong, the first action was not to fly but to hold the rope tightly, so the rope that played the xìng couldn't be grasped at all, so a huge vultures were hung on the rope by the head and feet, and they were afraid to death.
All eagles need to be stepped on when taking off, otherwise they can't fly at all, and the vultures that are hanging upside down in the air have no place to find a place to tread, so they are hung honestly. Daqingshan went to tie up every 2 hours, at that time, those wild vultures were congested with hanging brains, very honest and very cooperative, when they were finally upright by Daqingshan standing upright by the wall, their eyes even showed gratitude.
The saying "man dies for money, and birds die for food" is true. Despite watching batch after batch of vultures being tied up, the vultures in the back plunged into the trap again and again under the temptation of food - the only difference is that the vultures in the back keep taking off, falling, taking off, and falling in the hope of seeing how to avoid the trap. But what can you try on these not very long ropes?
In the summer and January of the 3rd year of the Magic Calendar, 80 adult large birds of prey and 30 chicks were brought back to Xilin, and the newly recruited sons of the sea who practiced swordsmanship in small boats became the new owners of the vultures;
On February 7 of the 3rd summer of the Magic Calendar, 256 young mercenaries over the age of 14 came to Xilin from the Ice Fortress of the Frozen Continent for one month. Most of them joined the Great Swordsman and Swordsman Camps, and more than 50 boys and girls who were already very good at magic were assigned to the Magic Swordsman Camp, and a few were assigned to the Vulture Swordsman Camp.
On this day, Amy officially announced the first personnel appointment of the small mercenary group.
Small Mercenary Group - A-Class Mercenary Group
Commander Amy, an A-class mercenary
Deputy Commander Aoyama A-class mercenary
(Perhaps because none of the following personnel have the appropriate mercenary level, their mercenary level is not written in the appointment of the following personnel.) )
Captain of the Great Swordsman Battalion (272 men at full capacity).
Blocking the fencer battalion (full of 101 people, standard configuration) captain Chi Aotian
Magic Swordsman Battalion (full capacity, standard configuration, 53 people) Captain Amy (concurrently)
Vulture Swordsman Battalion (full capacity, standard configuration: 82 people) Captain Chi Aotian (concurrently)
Silin oversaw Balbas
The Ice Fortress Branch supervises Long
According to the characteristics of each profession, Amy, Daqingshan, Chi Aotian, Horns, and Balbas have developed completely different training methods.
Mercenary regiments are different from ordinary armies, unless they are hired by the state during the war, there can be face-to-face battles, and only three situations will mercenaries participate in frontal battles:
1. The strength of a country's army is too poor, so you have to hire mercenaries, and the commission is attractive;
2. In times of emergency, the state implements the policy of all soldiers, and mercenaries are not allowed to discuss the price to become part of the army;
3. Invite the four A-level mercenary groups to participate in the war or the extremely powerful B-level mercenary group to participate in the war, the general mercenary group rarely has frontal war training in rì regular training, and it is impossible to accumulate experience in this area, and it is almost impossible to survive in the face of the impact of the regular army.
Therefore, when Amy launched the training plan and saw the layout of the entire mercenary group, all the core personnel were taken aback, and their eyes showed doubts: Could it be that the small mercenary group wants to participate in regular warfare.
Amy smiled and explained her plan: "The current financial resources of the small mercenary group cannot raise thousands of troops like the country, we must take on a wide range of tasks, so that the small mercenary group can have room for survival and development." In large-scale personnel training, it is difficult to reach a tacit understanding through long-term cooperation like ours, so it is not expected that they will form a complete attack force in the future mercenary career, I carefully talked to Uncle Chi about the training mechanism of the army, through this kind of training of different arms, and then mixed operations, it is easier to form a tacit understanding of multi-arm cooperation, which is different from the tacit understanding between people and people, but the establishment of the doctrine of mutual growth and restraint of the arms. Through this mode, even if we send out a small combat team in the future, we can achieve cooperation between various classes. ”
The Great Swordsman Battalion trained by Horns will become the main combat force of the small mercenary group, these warriors are also the best armor among all the warriors, their main armor will be golden, compared with the traditional all-metal armor of the main battle unit, the direct purpose of sacrificing defense is to obtain greater attack power and agility, the generation of this team, mainly Amy and Daqingshan found the feeling from the berserkers in the battle of the Wind, although a large number of berserkers cannot be obtained in a short period of time, but if there is such a team with courage and destructive power as the most fundamental purpose, it is undoubtedly what all mercenary groups want。 And although this class can't expect to get the massive destructive power of the Berserker, it definitely doesn't have to worry about going berserk like the Berserker. Horns' own attacks are most important for the momentum of fighting to the death, so he trains and considers hiring berserkers as instructors.
The Fender Battalion is a very special class of troops trained by Chi Aotian's main supervision, this unit was created by Chi Aotian's strong suggestion, in his words, whether it is a brave swordsman or a majestic vulture warrior, it is not a lethal attack point of a group, only the swordsman is a tool aimed at killing, and the slender long sword of the black sè is suitable for attacking the enemy in a stealthy way in the dark night or in valleys, forests and other places - whether it is a mercenary war or a national war, victory is the only goal. Chi Aotian's swordsmanship is the same as Xìngge, and he specializes in treacherous ways, although he uses a one-handed sword, but it is not difficult to generalize to a two-handed sword after a little refinement. Balbas and Chi Aotian were not very familiar, and there was a creepy feeling when he watched Chi Aotian squint his eyes and say these words at the core meeting.
Although it is not difficult to find a master of magic or swordsmanship, it is still extremely difficult to find a warrior who has a certain level of both at the same time, and of course there are even fewer who want to have a preliminary peek into the mysteries of magic swordsmanship at the same time. Amy and Da Qingshan considered going to Ah Feng's Purple Heart Sword Mercenary Regiment to invite a few masters in this field to be instructors, Ah Feng's base is in the Ice Fortress, and it takes at least 30 days to come and go, so it can only be concurrently served by Amy first. If the blocking swordsman is a tool to kill, then the magic swordsman is a magic war tool, and the ordinary magician pays attention to the idea of using high-level magic to win, the magic swordsman pays attention to using the sword and magic to achieve the goal in the fastest time, so the magic swordsman rarely delves into high-level magic, it is generally believed that a magic swordsman can use the first level of magic is enough, if he can use the second level of magic to reach the extreme, if a magic swordsman uses the third level of magic......? Is that still a magic swordsman? It would be more accurate to call him a magician with a sword, the third-level magic has been used for enough time, and the standard magic swordsman can send two lightning bolts in a row and other first-level magic that can paralyze people, and after two lightning magics, what appears in front of him is not the magic of sāo disturbance, but the sword of killing.
At present, there is only one person in the core of the small mercenary group who can fly into the sky, and that is Chi Aotian, so the task of training the Vulture Swordsman has also fallen to him. Amy's original intention in considering setting up the Vulture Swordsman Battalion was to have a large-scale air assault force, which could be countered if there were Phantom Beast Knights in the enemy. However, under the influence of the first captain of the Vulture Swordsman Battalion, after the Vulture Swordsman became an official unit, he was the best at aerial attacks, especially sneak attacks against enemy commanders, which also diversified the war in a sense.
According to Amy and Chi Aotian's ideas, the small mercenary group should also have a knight army and a magic army, in addition, a priest with a small number of people is also essential, but in the short term, the current personnel are enough, if it is expanded, then there must be a better and more stable economic income.
Judging from the income of Xilin Town, it is quite rich to feed a swordsman battalion of 200 people, but if the scale is expanded to 500 people, it will definitely not be able to make ends meet, if it is not for the fact that there was some gray income in the empire, then the small mercenary group would have closed down long ago because of poor management, in order to enter the good cycle as soon as possible, the small mercenary group has set up offices in the treehouse bars of several major continental roads in the empire, and several main responsible persons take turns to take ordinary mercenaries to take on tasks, through this model, not only have more income, but everyone's mercenary level is steadily rising。
During a private chat, Amy complained to Daqingshan about the current situation: the small mercenary group has entered a vicious growth cycle, with a lower per capita income but a growing number of people. What else can Daqingshan do but smile honestly? It was Amy herself who made the decision to "support" these orphans and widows in the first place, and what else is there to complain about, now it is just to continue to support them through the profession and means that everyone is best at.
In the summer and March of the 4th year of the magic calendar, a beautiful girl came to Xilin Town with her phantom beast - Sha Ruo completed the compulsory homework in the Holy See, according to the training of the Holy See for young priests, after the compulsory homework is completed, or choose to enter the army or choose to enter the mercenary or choose to enter the parish of an ordinary city, in short, to leave the Holy See for a period of time, they call this period of practice. Normal practice is usually 10 years. In their studies, priests generally determine their chosen profession, and in the primary priesthood, most people choose the profession of sage, followed by priesthood and priesthood. In the next 10 years, Sha Ruo must establish her goals through hard practice, if she is willing to return to the Holy See, then she will become a saint closer to God, and if she is willing to continue to be a spokesman for God among the people, then she will be called a compassionate wise man.
Sha Ruo confirmed the destination of his cultivation to Xilin Town, where Daqing Mountain was located, and became a young mercenary of the small mercenary group.
In the same year, Da Qingshan and Chi Aotian were 21 years old, Amy was 20 years old, Horns was 202 years old (equivalent to 16 years old in human age), Sha Ruo was 18 years old, and Lin Yusheng, who was still in his last year of magic training in Scambrai, was 18 years old. In the summer and March of the same year, Chi Aotian, who had reached the age of 21, officially had his own name according to the family rules of the Chi family: Chi Changfeng (see the title of Volume 2, Chapter 4, "Changfeng Aotian"), but the people of the small mercenary group were used to calling him by his young name, which even Duke Chi could not change.
In the summer and March of the 4th year of the magic calendar, in the treehouse bar located on the side of the Lion River Continental Highway, the office set up by the small mercenary group received a task: to escort a baron from a manor near the Lion River to a small town called Sanxiang on the edge of the Jīng Spirit Forest in the territory of the Holy See. This shortens the time from 17 days to 14 days, of course, when it is safe to do so. For his own safety, the baron specified that a B-rank mercenary group or above would undertake this task, and was willing to pay 500 gold coins for this trip. At that time, it happened that Amy and Horns were in the office, and after a brief discussion, Amy and Horns decided to take on this task, and the two of them personally escorted - 500 gold coins was already a lot of income for the small mercenary group.
The Baron was a fairly easy man to get along with, and he was so familiar with the journey that it was a great surprise, and he encountered almost no danger along the way, and the journey was so safe that at last Horns was too embarrassed to ask the Baron for money, and at last he had to go and fetch it himself.
After parting ways with the baron, Amy and Horns prepared to go to the inn to take the carriage to the nearest mainland road and then walk back to the empire, the clerk of the inn said that the last carriage was 6:30 p.m., and it was still early in the day, and Amy suggested that they go to dinner first. The town's catering industry seems to be quite developed, and there are many restaurants just across the street from the inn, and Amy pointed to a relatively large and clean restaurant and said, "Let's go, I'm in for a treat, it's the hotel called 'Food First'." ”
Perhaps because of the edge of the Jīng Spirit Forest, most of the waiters in the hotel were forest Jīng Spirits, and the door was opened by a beautiful Jīng Ling girl who was slightly fat in the Jīng Spirit, with a warm smile on her round face, which was something that ordinary human girls who grew up in the city could not have, "Welcome to Food First." She opened the door and beckoned Amy and Horns to enter the hotel.
They found a seat by the window and sat down, maybe it was not yet the official opening time, there were not many people in the hotel, there were only 3 or 4 tables of guests, and there was also a table of guests on the same window seat, it was two handsome boys and a girl with long golden hair, obviously they were also mercenaries, the boy's seat was next to the long sword, the girl turned her back to Amy, and there was a blue sè magic wand beside her very abruptly.
The blonde girl couldn't help but look back when she heard a new guest sitting behind her, the girl was so beautiful that Amy and Horns couldn't ignore the tiny movement. Out of mercenary etiquette, they nodded at the two boys and the beautiful blonde girl, and the three teenagers smiled and nodded at them. At this moment, both Amy and Horns were slightly stunned: all three of them had a golden wyvern embroidered on their shoulders.
