Chapter 20: The Importance of the State

In the blink of an eye, four days have passed since the recruit training, and today is the weekend. After today's www.biquge.info, it stands to reason that you should be able to rest for the next two days, and even in the army, this tradition is maintained. According to the doctrine of the Church of Light, the creator God spent 6 days creating the world and resting on the 7th day. Therefore, since the Church of Light preached to the whole continent, most areas on the mainland have implemented a similar work system.

With the improvement of the standard of living in Lou Paule, Article 6 is also positioned as a rest day, and the same is true in the army. But whether you can really get a break is still a matter of the chief's words. This morning, Marcas has already said: "Whoever makes a mistake today, continue training this Saturday and Sunday." ”

Everyone was silent, everyone was well-behaved from the morning, standing very straight, sweeping the floor very clean, moving very quickly, and answering loudly. After all, they are aristocrats, and their quality is better than that of ordinary farmers in all aspects, and if they really want to do a good job, it is not difficult, but sometimes there is resistance.

In the morning, it was another spear assassination training, but in addition to the boring stabbing and harvesting, there was an extra charge subject in the middle.

Carrying a gun and a shield, he lunged 100 meters. Rest for a while, then rush back again. Rest for a while and rush back again. Both the shield and gun holding postures must be maintained during the charge, and shouts are required to ensure morale. The slowest rush will undoubtedly add new training, and the fat man Start undoubtedly wants to cry without tears, and he was directly pounced on the ground by the practice.

The commander showed no pity for him, but laughed and scolded the waste, and made him run the whole race. Others just watched and rejoiced that it wasn't themselves.

After the solo charge, the commanders started playing the swarm charge again. Marcus and the other commanders pulled the recruits together and lined up to see which team could rush faster. When charging, the formation must not be scattered, and must be kept in a basic straight line.

All the recruits had dying expressions on their faces, but the officers were very excited. So each team of six people began to charge in groups, and because of the slowest shortcoming of the fat man, the whole team had to keep the formation at the same speed as him. This made Kevin and the others a little easier, after all, it was equivalent to slowing down and jogging. But it also won a penultimate game, although it was only a small game with a total of 7 squads.

But in fact, in terms of speed, it should be the first from the bottom. However, fortunately, one team fell when charging, which suddenly overtook Kevin and others and became the penultimate in the second.

Kevin and others are very satisfied with this kind of result, after all, they were originally expected to be the first to last, but they unexpectedly won the second-to-last, which was definitely beyond expectations and won the victory. But the prefect was undoubtedly dissatisfied, and Marcas had to accept the ridicule and ridicule of the other prefects.

The people in the barracks spoke more directly. It's rare to disguise rhetoric, or to express it implicitly, and garbage is garbage. This is especially true from superior to subordinate, and sometimes between peers.

Marcas, who accepted the ridicule, naturally vented his anger on Kevin and the others, so the hard work of the weekend can be imagined. This non-stop charge is compared to stabbing and receiving, the physical exertion is far from a grade, and when the team closes at noon, everyone looks half-dead, especially Start.

For this expression, the commander despised it very much, and said that you have not put on the armor yet? It's only 100 meters, and the distance will increase in the future, you have to wear armor, the speed should be faster, the killing sound will be louder, the fighting spirit will explode throughout the charge, the wooden man will be set up at the end of the line, and the wooden man must be pierced through when you charge, etc.

The crowd could only respond to the chief with bloodless faces.

However, the commander did not like this expression, he scolded loudly, and ordered everyone to show a radiant expression, to be full of energy, and to have sharp eyes, this is what a soldier is. Everyone had no choice but to forcibly open their eyes wide, turning into bigger dead fish eyes.

Until Marcas spoke: "I won't train in the afternoon, I'm going to listen to a report collectively." ”

In an instant, all the dead fisheyes came to life.

Many philosophers in the mainland like to discuss what happiness is, but in fact, happiness is very simple, and the six recruits present at this time all felt happiness. This is the happiness that they have never achieved by eating and playing wildly at home.

Marcas, of course, saw their eyes, and everyone mocked them, saying that all six of them were lazy people, afraid of training, etc. But it doesn't matter, at this time, all 6 people are surrounded by happiness, and they feel happy to be scolded.

After lunch, everyone took a short break and began to head to the playground. When you are in a good mood, you don't care much about some small contradictions. Kevin looked at Sain's eyes and felt a lot calmer. If nothing else, I'm afraid that this kind of agreement will naturally dissipate after three months, and everyone will laugh and it will be over.

The weather in the afternoon was slightly cool, and everyone came to the playground, including the veterans, and sat down in a queue, just sitting cross-legged on the ground, and no one was dirty. The audience was silent, no one spoke, and everyone was happy that they could escape training in the afternoon.

After a while, several high-ranking generals slowly walked into the arena and sat down in their seats. An officer with the rank of colonel stepped forward: "Hello everyone, soldiers. I am the commander of the 254th Regiment of the Kingdom Army, and the veterans should be familiar with me, and the recruits are probably the first time they know me, so they can call me Colonel Orson or Commander Orsin. ”

"Today we are honored to have the General of the Kingdom Army, Esther Wende. General Wende has made great achievements, the main developer of forbidden spell weapons in my country, and the chief designer of the giant staff. Known as the father of the forbidden weapons of the Lou Pauler Kingdom, his giant staff is also named after him - Eastvender 31. He is 90 years old this year and has officially retired. Colonel Orson began to applaud, "Now give the floor to General Easter to speak." ”

The audience applauded thunderously, but this did not mean how much everyone really welcomed this old man, but the commander of the army took the lead in applauding, and the whole army must also applaud desperately. Otherwise, you will be beaten when you come back.

Most of the people present who didn't care about current affairs had probably never heard of this person, or even heard of what a forbidden curse weapon was. In those years, the circulation of news was not fast enough, and it was not enough to rely on the word of mouth of the bard. What's more, there are still many people who are willing to listen to "Rex Turn".

But at this time, Kevin's blood was already boiling. He, as a qualified bard, certainly knows what a giant staff means. This is one of the important factors that has allowed Lou Pauler to become a true great power, and one of the reasons why it has been ostensibly peaceful for hundreds of years. Because the power is too great, if the big powers ban the curse to bombard, it is likely to lead to a reshuffle of the whole continent.

The giant staff is made of many high-end technologies such as high-end circle technology, high-end magic replenishment technology, and magic coshock technology. A giant staff of about 10 meters high, in 1287 of the Gregorian calendar, that is, 52 years ago, Lou Baole Kingdom only used 20 level 5 magicians to successfully drive the giant staff, releasing a super large magic missile with a diameter of 30 meters, with a range of 2,000 kilometers, and a deep pit of more than 100 meters.

Later, he successfully tested a 30-meter-diameter fireball, which was powerful enough to easily destroy a town. What else has been tested after that, I'm afraid it's already a state secret, Kevin doesn't know anymore, Kevin only knows that Eastvender is engraved on the giant staff, and the model number is already 31. There are rumors abroad that Eastvender 31 can directly use ultra-long-range magic to bombard the capital of the Ryan Empire, but I don't know if it's true or not.

Regardless, Eastvender broke the restriction that the forbidden spell could only be cast by the archmage, and made the current battle situation more varied. Of course, all countries on the mainland have directly agreed with each other, and Lou Baole has also solemnly declared that it will never be the first to use the forbidden spell.

Kevin never expected that he would meet such a character, the 90-year-old man is still in good spirits, although he is full of gray hair, but his eyes are still clear and bright, the old general can definitely be said to be the important weapon of the country. It's worth the trip to meet this person on this military trip.

"Actually, I retired this time, so I want to leave so quietly. The old general took over the amplification spar of the wind system, "But Colonel Orson wants me to come out to meet with everyone, and wants me to say a few words." Alas, I'm not really suited to give lectures on incitement and mobilization, and I guess everyone is tired of listening to them. What patriotism, love for the people, chivalry, I guess everyone is already impatient. Let me tell you a little bit about my personal experience. ”

"I also joined the army at the age of 15, when I was still a magician. At that time, it should be 1264, and I believe that everyone with a little family background and a little background should know the situation of the country at that time. The old general began to talk eloquently, "We had a large population at that time, but other than that, we didn't have much to do on the mainland. ”

"The strongest empire at that time, the Lane Empire, and of course now. They were founded by the Great Magister, and the Great Magister has been the emperor for generations, so they are also known as the Emperor of the Law. The level of magic is undoubtedly the best in the world. We had a few conversations with people at that time, and at that time, our level 3 mages could barely have 10 spells, and they could put 30 different spells at the same level. ”

"With the same fireball technique, we'll just throw it out stupidly. They can swerving, tracking, suddenly speeding up, suddenly slowing down, stopping suddenly, splitting, and many other techniques. How do we fight with other people? We can't fight at all. Every time I talk to them, I receive all kinds of ridicule. not only those who mock you, but also your kingdom. The old general looked back on the past and couldn't help but sigh.

Later, the state ordered that a group of people should be sent to Lou Baole to study, even if they were immigrants. I was also included at the time, and I was ordered to learn as much as I could, no matter what, by stealing the techniques of the Ryan Empire. "The old general is straightforward and honest. Although none of the soldiers present made a sound, their facial expressions were all surprised.

"Why don't you believe it?" the old general smiled, "a lot of public propaganda is not entirely true, and if there were civilians among you, then I wouldn't be so direct." Maybe I'll change the word, like send to learn, but in reality, it's all a play on words. It's all the same. ”

"You don't need to despise these things, I've never felt ashamed. The real humiliation was my experience abroad. Can you imagine how a person who can only smash fireballs will be despised in front of high-end mages? We can only bow our heads and beg them to teach, bring them tea and water, and even clean the toilet. ”

"It's just that there is a curse of words in their conversation, some people give up, some people die on the streets, and some people behave very well, get their favor, and are accepted as disciples by high-end mages. Some people stay over there forever, after all, the toilets over there are better than here, and some people choose to come back. ”

"I remember my commander patting me on the shoulder and saying, 'It doesn't matter if it's 10 years, 20 years, 30 years, I still want you to come back.'" 'Obviously, once you go out, Lou Paule no longer has the ability to order you, and it is impossible to send assassins to assassinate you. So the governor is also only a hope, not an order. However, I chose to come back anyway, and I was 40 years old at the time. ”

"Speaking of which, at that time, I also had a good Lane Empire mentor, a level 9 mage, even in the Ryan Empire, he was an extremely upper-level figure, and it was an honor for almost all mages to be his disciple. He said to me, 'You are the only one of all my disciples who has tried to leave me.'" I also expressed regret, but I could only tell him 'I am undercover'. ”

This kind of spirit is difficult for the other party to understand. In his opinion, returning to the country of Lou Baole in tatters is simply low. With the protection of a level 9 magister abroad, even if you send assassins, you will never succeed. Even many other disciples persuaded me not to do anything that was too much. And yet I did it anyway. The old general laughed self-deprecatingly, "At that time, our people were called low explosions over there, but now that I think about it, I haven't heard it for many years." ”

There was still silence off the field, of course, silence is the rule of the troops, but everyone listened attentively, and their thoughts were like a tide.

"After returning home, according to the call of the king at that time. Started the research and development of forbidden spell weapons, and I led the team. There was a lot of pressure at the time, both at home and abroad. The direct pressure from the Lane Empire, the pressure from the Church of Light, is considered a weapon against humanity. The reason why forbidden spells are called forbidden spells is, of course, taboo and untouchable. The domestic economy is depressed, there is a lack of R&D funds, and foreign countries have raised the price of magic crystal ore and are unwilling to sell it to us. I once had no choice but to go digging sweet potatoes to eat. ”

"Luckily, we succeeded. withstood the pressure, and the forbidden spell experiment was successful," the old general seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "According to the more popular saying at the moment, I personally spent a lifetime of effort to complete a slap in the face. ”

"Now that the country is strong, everyone can eat meat at every meal. But let's be honest, we're not strong enough. There has always been a big gap between us and the Ryan Empire in the field of magic, and no one has yet been able to cast a personal forbidden spell. Anthony is known as the Grand Magus, but he can only use level 9 spells. Gandalf is not to mention, except for the flash technique, he is basically a berserk swordsman. We still have a long way to go if we want to become a strong country. The old general sighed.

"I'm old, and it's your time next. But you have to remember that being a soldier is not so easy. Do you have this realization?"
