Chapter 138: Drill
The army of the territory is more short of officers than soldiers.
Lichs and necromancers are both summoners and commanders of the undead, but other races have no control over them.
The commander of the orc force is the "champion" Sadaka, and the commander of the Terran force is currently served by Ninia, although she is young, she continues to accumulate combat exploits in the counterinsurgency, and her strength is also obvious to all.
Ninia is not serving with the lord today because she has already gone to the army for training.
Training is more important than weapons and numbers, which Vincent always warns about, so Ninia has always attached great importance to army training, and now that the territory turmoil is over, the training of new recruits must be on the agenda.
"Report to your lordship, the entire 300 members of the Volunteer Legion are training, would you like to take a break before going to review?"
The lord was greeted by Marf, who had been the first to be appointed as the leader of the Volunteer Legion, the first rural youth of the village of Nur to receive an appointment and medal, and had been serving the lord since the time of the counterinsurgency.
Although he was one of the first to receive honors, Malf not only carried out tasks such as escort and escort, but also participated in many battles to suppress rebellions, and appeared everywhere to recruit more Volunteers for the army.
Although his feats were not considered small by others, Malf always regretted not participating in the battle to defend the border, so he had to make up for it with more diligent work and training after he was appointed as an officer.
With loyalty and self-motivation, he is now the captain of a team of 100 members of the Volunteer Legion, and has become a sharpshooter with Sadaka's own shooting skills.
Those who are able to wield new weapons with ease will always be respected in the military.
"Oh, it's nice to see you, my friend, I don't have to rest, what is the content of today's training?"
Vincent didn't put on a noble show at all, but affectionately called each other friends, although it was not the first time he had met the lord Corporal Lixian, but this still made Malf, who had seen the lord many times, very moved.
"Report to Lord Lord, today is group training, one of the 100-man team is training anti-cavalry skills, and the centaur ladies of the cavalry team are training with us, I have to admit that they are really fierce."
Anti-cavalry warfare is what Vincent particularly emphasizes in order to deal with the threat from the north, and the kingdom of Herod can mobilize tens of thousands of noble knights and servants to form a powerful cavalry army when necessary, and the impact of cavalry clusters is definitely the first threat to the territory.
Based on the available weapons, it is imperative to strive to defeat in a field environment, or at least to withstand the attack of cavalry.
The combat effectiveness of the centaur cavalry should be higher than that of ordinary knights, and if they can tie with this group of warriors, they should not be able to fall behind against the Herodians.
However, this is not an easy task, and it is not easy to win under the troops led by the "Red Whirlwind", and the frontal assault of the heavily armed men and horses can smash the multi-layered array of hundreds of people to pieces.
If the cavalry resorted to complex tactics such as splitting and attacking, flanking the flanks, and detouring the rear, the poor Volunteers were even more difficult to parry, and were often beaten with bruised noses and swollen faces, and covered in wounds, so that Prani himself had to come and perform a wide range of healing techniques to heal them.
Repeated defeats and battles are always better than repeated defeats, the Chinan Knights were originally a grassland disaster, even if they couldn't win them, at least they made the soldiers grow their courage, and they would not collapse because of the cavalry's morale, and they would continue to find ways to fight back.
Even Jana admits that these Terrans are becoming more and more tenacious, and if they use guns in actual combat, their own team may not be able to easily disrupt them.
"Another team of 100 is practicing skirmish tactics with skeleton soldiers, and the mercenaries of the Boulder Mercenary Regiment are cooperating with us as imaginary enemies......
In fact, to this point, Vincent's Legionnaires have also undergone a variety of training, from fighting armored skeletons, to fighting more powerful ogres, and now fighting against highland mercenaries, it has gone through three months.
In terms of hand-to-hand combat, skeletons have long been no match for them, and although Vincent's ogre is powerful and thick, he has a very weak brain, has no adaptability at all, and is not trained and scheming
out of the Terran warrior opponent.
Since the undead and the monster infantry are not strong enough, the relationship between Vincentto and the Boulder Chamber of Commerce has found a stronger sparring partner.
As recognized as a formidable infantry on the mainland, the combat effectiveness of the barbarians of the plateau was obvious to all, Vinson hired a group of professional soldiers as instructors to train the infantry, and also used their experience in traveling south and north to simulate the tactical characteristics of the Herodesian army as an imaginary enemy.
The mercenaries work for the Herodian all year round, and they are extremely familiar with the combat methods of the Herodians, and they are much stronger than the ordinary Herodian infantry.
These barbarians made the lord's infantry suffer a lot, but they also turned this group of young rural youths into warriors who dared to fight, and the more they fought against different opponents, the more confident they became.
At present, they are practicing the tactics of containing the undead and scattering the stragglers to cooperate in teams, in order to deal with the traditional tactics of spears and bows and arrows in the front row.
"There's also a hundred-man team, my team, learning new exercises from Lord Wald."
"New?" Vincent asked, "Is it a military fist?"
"Yes, Lord Lord, it's the military body fist you taught, because Lord Sadaka left without finishing it, so ......" Marf said excitedly, "This training method is very interesting, it is different from training with swords and spears, it is very suitable for team activities, and it looks good to train."
Speaking of neatness and good looks, Vincent didn't think that the Terrans were ideal trainees, it was better to find a group of skeletons engraved with the same magic pattern to act together, that would be really neat and uniform.
Still, this kind of training, which strengthens collective consciousness and identity, Vincent believes is still necessary, and it can also be a territorial characteristic.
Whether it's drilling, dancing or boxing, Ninia can learn quickly, which is indeed due to the Aphotic Blade, but it cannot be denied that she herself has a talent for learning.
It seemed that everything was in order, and Vincent, glancing at the dusty and shouting field, did not go, but made another request to Malf.
"Take me to the kitchen."
"Kitchen?" Malf suspected he had misheard, "Do you mean, go to the kitchen where you cook?"
"That's right, it's the kitchen." Vincent nodded, "Soldiers who don't eat well can't fight, after all, you're not undead."
"Roar! If you say this, you won't be sleepy!" Yinlong, who was not interested in training, immediately shouted excitedly, "Go and see if it's worth getting an extra meal!"
Hearing this, Vincent knew that it was inevitable to add food, because if nothing else, the soldier's meal he had formulated was still good, and it was difficult not to make the hungry dragon tempted.
This guy's stomach is probably also a miracle of the god of time and space, connecting to another dimension......
"Go and make 100 more servings in the kitchen, quick!" Vincent whispered to the stunned Malve, "Don't make this young lady unhappy, it'll catch fire."
