Chapter 356: Lockhart's Struggle
For the out-and-out Lorraine Lockhart Jr., he probably had never heard of such a strange "training" in his life.
Since joining this "Decepticon Air Knights...... Oh, to be precise, after the "Decepticon Air Knights Reserve", he suddenly felt that everything here was really very different from the "Knights" he imagined.
Despite coming from a small country town and being only the son of a carpenter, Lockhart was not ignorant of real knights. At least his ancestor had a knight, and the family has always been proud, and the life story of that ancestor has been passed down from generation to generation, including all kinds of knightly glory, codes, and even some basic training lessons......
Lockhart was proud that in an era when knightly civilization had declined, he, a country boy, could even recite the complete "Manifesto of Knighthood", because he liked to read the notes left by his ancestors since he was a child.
And this "Decepticon" ...... Is it really a knighthood? Why have I been here for so many days and I haven't even seen a horse? I don't even have any swordsmanship here. And all the training content of every day - God forgive, poor little Lockhart did not dare to doubt the glorious Rollin private army, but he really felt that the training content of this Decepticon Knights was like a circus!
Yes, it's a circus!
After Rohart was admitted a month ago. Then more than a hundred of them were taken behind a hill not far from Lorraine Castle. This made all the members very excited. Because it is too close to the "holy place" of Rollin Castle in the hearts of every Lorraine. Even the first day after these people entered this training camp. There's gossip. If you yourself these people show sè. You can be personally received by the honorable young master of the Luo Lin family.
Afterwards. From several other large cities in the Rollin Plains, hundreds of Decepticon reservists who had been recruited had entered the training camp.
Lockhart is a delicate man. He immediately discovered 800 members, including all his own in the interior. All have one thing in common: everyone isn't too big. There are even some people who can be described as a little "thin".
This first subverted Lockhart's impression of a "knight": knight. Shouldn't it be Kong Wuli. Is it tall and mighty?
Train for a month. Lockhart didn't see a single horse. Didn't touch the sword. In this training camp, dozens of tall wooden frames were erected. In the middle of the wooden frame. Hundreds of slender logs lay horizontally. Each log is hung with ropes at both ends.
And then. All local trainees, under the orders of the instructor. Climb up the wooden frame. Straddle the log in the air like a horse. Subsequently. Each of them was asked to sit firmly on a log. Hold on to it. Someone will pull the rope. Then the logs in the air. It will make all kinds of up, down, left and right rolling.
Frankly. On the first day of doing this kind of training. Most of the people vomited. Lockhart is no exception. Tumbling intensely and sharply. Under vertigo. He was so disgusted that he almost vomited bile. The dizziness lasted for two days. He hadn't eaten much for two days - he had vomited because of what he ate.
Three days of training in a row. Most of the people are finally getting used to this kind of training. And then. Ride on a log ground and roll in the air, and the difficulty gradually increases.
And then. There is also a very "weird" test. It made Lockhart feel even more novel.
"Vision Test". When the instructor announced this. Everyone was a little dazed. In fact, at the beginning. Everyone was a little contemptuous of the instructor. He looked so young. He was even much younger than many of the cadets. He's serious, though. And when he was angry, there was a fierce murderous aura and chill on his body. Even the most unruly guy in the training camp didn't dare to face his solemn eyes.
Behind the back. Everybody talked. Only guys who have really been on the battlefield and killed people can have this kind of temperament.
Finally, one day, a few naughty guys were teased by their companions. I couldn't help but ask the instructor in a loud voice: "Instructor." Have you ever been on the battlefield?"
The young instructor glanced at everyone: "Yes." ”
"That'...... Have you ever killed someone?"
This time the instructor was silent for a moment, and then replied more briefly: "A lot." ”
Afterwards. No one will dare to disobey anymore.
And this eyesight test is easier than that high-altitude tumbling. A piece of paper was pasted on the wall, on which several lines of large and small individuals were drawn and asked to stand behind a line at a certain distance from the wall, taking turns covering one eye to look at the symbols on the paper on the wall, and pointing out the shape and direction with their fingers......
But it's such a simple test. But almost a quarter of them were eliminated.
Those who were eliminated felt that it was very unfair, and some people couldn't help but strongly object: "Is it true that when you go to the battlefield to fight, you kill the enemy by your eyes?"
The instructor was silent for a moment, then called out one of the guys who had the strongest objections, and then gave him a pair of bows and arrows and told him to stand a hundred meters away from him.
"If you can shè me...... No, as long as you can shè within five meters of me, you will pass it. ”
As a result, the guy stood a hundred meters away with a bow and arrows for a long time. The last arrow shè came out, and the foot was more than ten meters off. And the instructor immediately picked up the bow and arrow. An arrow slammed over, and the arrow landed exactly at the guy's feet.
"That's the importance of the eyes! At the same distance of a hundred meters, I can aim at any part of your body, and you ...... Hell, a hundred meters away, you can't even tell if the other party is male or female!"
However, the eliminated people did not need to be too frustrated, and the instructor finally comforted everyone that although they could not join the Decepticon Jīng Knights, they could be selected directly to another mysterious unit because they had passed the previous tumbling training.
"I promise you'll love it. After sending off the eliminated students, the instructor said with a smile on his face.
And in the subsequent rìzi, the difficulty of the training escalated again.
This time they were taken to a mysterious square inside the training camp, where they saw something like a big ship hanging in the middle of the wooden frame on both sides - hanging in the air.
Then the first group was called to the boat, and the big boat began to rock wildly under the swaying of the hanging iron cables on both sides of the wooden frame. This time, many students once again "contributed" to the breakfast they had just eaten in the morning.
The students who have endured all the hardships do not know that this training content is based on the "pirate ship" in the playground of someone's previous life.
After a few days, most of the people were accustomed to the pirate ship hanging on it, and the instructor gave each of them a pair of military crossbows with a good texture, and then placed a row of arrow targets in the distance of the pirate ship.
All of them are required to stand on the ship after the pirate ship is rocking, not to fall, and to fire as many short crossbows as possible, shè targets in the middle and distance.
For five days in a row, 99 percent of the arrows missed the target, and everyone standing on it was already staggered, how could they accurately hit the target?
However, everyone did not complain, because on the first day of training, the instructor personally showed it, and everyone watched the instructor stand on the violently shaking boat, easily shè five arrows, each arrow accurately hit the target.
However, some people objected: "Instructor, I have been a hunter, and I am better at bows and arrows, and if I use bows and arrows, I may be sure...... But this kind of short crossbow is used with one hand, and I am not used to it. ”
The instructor's reply was, "You can only use a short crossbow, because in the future you will encounter a battlefield situation, you will only have one hand to control the weapon." The other hand has a more important role. ”
Lockhart became more and more confused, he felt that he was not joining a knightly order at all, was this a place to train "crossbowmen"?
But the only thing that makes people feel good is that the food in this place is very good, everyone can eat good bread, beef, and beef nǎi every day.
Lockhart also anxiously asked the instructor when he would see his mount. As a future knight, how can you be called a knight if you don't even have a mount?
Faced with this kind of question, the instructor just smiled and replied to him: After you pass all the training, you will see your mount.
At the end of the month, on this day, the instructor called everyone to line up, and then announced that the direct supreme commander of this order, the honorable Mr. "Megatron", was going to come here to inspect it, and hoped that everyone would behave well and not let themselves be embarrassed.
And that afternoon, Lockhart met the young man who interviewed him last time, that is, Mr. "Megatron".
