I dismounted and walked in front of the ten non-commissioned officers.

"Hello sir!" they saluted me.

From the way they saluted, their branded faces, and their determined eyes, I knew that these ten squad leaders were all veterans from the original Ninth Legion.

"Hello. I saluted and said, "Non-commissioned officers, I have a question for you. ”

"Yes!"

"We all know that the recruits who join now are not combative, and as soon as we get out of this passage, we may have a fight. Without training, the chances of survival of these recruits are very low┅┅We need to train them, so that they can fight, they can fight, and they are proficient in fighting!" I gestured for them to come around: "But we have less than ten days to train them, ten days, what can you do?"

"Think about it, what kind of mentality did you have when I first arrived in the Ninth Legion, what kind of habits did you have, and how did you change it? The recruits are similar to yours. Seeing that the ten non-commissioned officers were silent, I looked at them with encouraging eyes and continued to guide their thinking: "We have to list all of them before we can solve them one by one." ”

I believe that my non-commissioned officers, similar experiences will definitely allow them to find problems.

Eventually, one of the non-commissioned officers said to me, "The biggest problem with the recruits is that they are a little scattered. ”

"Okay, that's one. I nodded, "What's next?"

"They really want to do what we want them to do. Another non-commissioned officer said, "But they don't know how to do it well." ”

"That's good! That's one. I said, "Continue┅┅."

"The recruits can't control themselves, and we need to be reminded at any time┅┅"

"Sir, I think we can do this┅┅"

Although the non-commissioned officers were not very precise. But that's enough for me. I first asked and answered questions to relieve the nervousness of the non-commissioned officers. Then, he slowly led the topic to a deeper level, and the heated discussion attracted the rocks and several guards on the side to join in.

Half an hour later, I had a clear idea of how to train the recruits.

"That's all. I would like to say a few more words to the non-commissioned officers: "Return to the team!"

"Yes!" the non-commissioned officers confidently returned to the queue and accompanied the soldiers to stand for the entire hour.

I nodded to the rock beside me, and motioned for him, the captain of the second lieutenant, to come on, and I had already taken care of him for what he was going to say.

Although he has just been promoted to an officer, the rock that has experienced a series of battles is no longer different from that of ordinary officers, and the repeated tests of life and death have given him a temperament that mixes majesty, sharpness, and composure, which is also the common characteristic of all officers in our unit. It's my biggest asset.

"Stand - this is a kind of training! Raise your head, chest up, belly tucked, eyes level ahead!" Rock stood at the front of the line, his body straight as a stone sculpture, and his words rang out: "On the battlefield, the first thing the enemy sees is your standing posture! You must stand like a boulder, so that the enemy who sees you will feel that he cannot step over you no matter what! The loose man dies the fastest! Keep your ears up and pay attention to the orders of the commander┅┅"

I'm familiar with these words, I said them when I was training the first batch of non-commissioned officers in the training regiment, and the orc rock probably heard from other officers, but he remembered it and used it. From this point of view, the orcs don't just know how simple it is to use brute force┅┅While he was yelling at the soldiers, I had already asked someone to write down the detailed training steps┅┅" Report to the Commander. The time of an hour has come. The rock ran and said, "Tell me, sir." ”

"Okay, you go back to the team first. ”

"Attention all ┅┅ Sit down!" I walked to the front of the queue and ordered them to rest first.

"As your commander said, you should not underestimate the two postures of standing and sitting, and every skill that your commander asks you to master is for a reason. "I called a soldier and pointed to the armor on his body and explained to them: "The armor is made of hard metal, and although there is a padding in it, an incorrect posture will still make a certain piece of armor press a certain part of your body for a long time, causing muscle paralysis and not being able to enter the battle quickly!"

I asked the soldiers to try it a few more times, and all of them nodded convincingly.

"Behind every training technique that the officers teach you, there is a unique meaning to it. Because we don't have any more time, we can't explain it to you in detail, and from now on, I'm not going to explain anything to you, all my time is going to be spent on training!" Seeing the results, I lost no time in saying, "There is no doubt that your training will be very hard and sometimes you will not understand, but you must remember that every training we do is aimed at protecting your lives! An extra quarter of an hour of training gives you an extra chance to survive on the battlefield, understand?"

The soldiers replied loudly, "Understood!"

"Understood!" I nodded with satisfaction, "Now you all stand and let your chief teach you how to run!"

"Attention everyone┅┅" Rock stood up and shouted, "Merge into two columns, run forward!"

I rode behind the queue and watched the soldiers running along with the commands.

This running is an important queue training, which not only has actual combat value, but also allows soldiers to adapt and become familiar with military life more quickly.

A real army is a big collective, and it doesn't need any individual voice to show up, because that's discordant. There is no gap in my training, one after another, round after round, dense passwords can imperceptibly the recruits, a lot of training will make their bodies tired, under extreme fatigue, they will respond to the commander's orders at the first time, every move is not a brain reaction, but a physical conditioned reflex ┅┅ Now in this situation, I don't need them to think independently.

As soon as the training of the soldiers in the rock group was over, the training order issued by the staff headquarters was in the hands of every officer in charge of training, except for the necessary reconnaissance and alert forces. The troops in front and behind the passage were training in full swing.

Standing, sitting, squatting, standing┅┅Rank uX, disband, run, step uX┅┅Everywhere are troops running in formation. The sky was filled with foul language and the sound of passwords. My officers are not from aristocratic backgrounds, and most of them greet them with language like "ass, shit" before training.

This seems to be part of the tradition of the army, the army never needs polite soldiers, what is needed is a murderous and aggressive killing machine, and speaking foul language can mobilize the primitive desires in the body, which helps to cultivate this atmosphere The training is extremely boring, but the soldiers' training attitude is more serious than I expected. I think. This is probably because their fathers and elders are so close at hand, and it was only after the first day of training that I learned the main reason from the mouth of a soldier.

"Sir┅┅We have never trained before. He was still looking at the ground when he talked to me before, but then he bravely raised his head and looked at me: "So┅┅So no matter how hard and tiring the training is, I feel very happy┅┅"

"So that's it┅┅" Hearing his heart, I couldn't help but have mixed feelings, so I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you will be happy every day in the future!"

On the third day, the cohort training was almost complete. Under the command of the commander, the movements of the soldiers were much more coordinated, and their scattered habits were greatly improved.

So in between the queue training, I arranged for the soldiers to familiarize themselves with their other half - weapons!

Every weapon. From daggers to knives, from crossbows to spears. I want them to be familiar with the structure of these weapons, the range of these weapons, and the principles of these weapons.

But when the other officers yelled at the soldiers, the words changed—they said, "Don't want to live if you lose your weapons! You will copy and cut people at any time! It is your woman, it is your lifeline, hold on to it for me no matter what you are doing! including eating, sleeping, and peeing!"

Amid the shouts and curses of the officers, all the soldiers were learning to grasp their weapons with one hand and use only the other hand to do things that ordinary people need two hands to do well, but it only took them two days to learn this qiē.

In fact, the other officers were stricter than I did, and they had been trained by others before, and the first time they trained soldiers was under such circumstances, so it was inevitable that their attitudes were a little excessive, but I was very satisfied with their appearance, because they had inadvertently made the training more effective, and the training continued, and in any case, the changes in the soldiers were very obvious.

According to the schedule, on the fifth day of training, the soldiers should start fighting in squads. But this time, I arranged a little bit of an episode before the actual training.

Ninety recruits were in pairs, facing each other in two columns, with the red team on the left and the blue team on the right.

I made them stand for a while, and in the midst of boredom, someone on the RED team started smiling at the person opposite.

"Funny, isn't it?" I asked him.

"Yes, sir┅┅No, no, sir┅┅"

"As a soldier, you should have the qualities of a soldier. I knew he couldn't answer: "And a soldier standing in the queue, he must not laugh at any time!"

So, I ordered the guy on the other side to slap him, and as I thought, the BLU guy didn't do much.

"That's how you carry out the orders of the chief?" I shouted, "Rock, come and show these two men!"

The rock came running in two steps, and a single slap knocked the snickering soldier down, and another slap knocked the soldier across from him down - the half-orc slap was no joke.

"In the fight with the enemy, you have no time to doubt the orders of the commander! All the orders of the commander must be carried out resolutely!" I continued, "As punishment for your failure to carry out your orders, all the people on your side will be slapped in the face!

"Pap, pap, pap┅┅" There was a faint sound.

Then I excused the inconsistency of the red team's movements, and asked the people of the blue team to fight back┅┅ more than a dozen slaps down, and the people on both sides were red in the face, and their eyes were bulging as if they were going to eat people.

"The rocks! I'll leave it to you now. "I'm very happy with the effect: "Hand-to-hand confrontation begins!"

"Attention ┅┅ Call me!"

The red and blue teams suddenly fought, and in the melee, fists and toes came out together. Howling and scolding, the people of the tribe from far away were attracted to come and see.

"Boss. This training is different from what we're used to!" said Jack beside him. Now he's the only one in the entire army who has free time: "Does this work?"

"We only have ten days, and we can't train soldiers as strong as the Phantom Legion in any case, but we can give them a temperament, a very fierce temperament, like the temperament of the Demon Alliance!" I explained to Jack, "Although they are ordinary soldiers, with a super-first-class temperament, it is enough for us to deal with the situation in front of us." ”

"Is this really possible?"

"I thought, this should be fine!"

The scuffle in the field continued, and the soldiers of the RED team gradually gained the upper hand. The non-commissioned officers were controlling the scene, preventing the dominant soldier from doing anything to the person lying on the ground.

"Report to the sir!" it wasn't long before Rock came running over and reported, "Hand-to-hand training is over, and the RED team wins." ”

"Well done! RED lunch and vegetables!" I used my morale-boosting method: "Is anyone hurt?"

"Report to the sir, it's not strict, it's all flesh wounds. The rock replied to me.

"Take a break for a minute, you have to use this time to teach them to fight. I said to the rock, "I'll leave for a moment." ”

"Yes!"

I took Jack and walked to the other side where the tribesmen gathered.

"Boss, what are we going to do with the tribe?"

"It's time for equipment training right away, and the recruits are not light or heavy. How can we not prepare?" I said to Jack, "and there are many witch doctors in the tribe, and I'll see if they can help." ”

"Yes, Boss. Jack's eyes lit up, "These minor injuries are wasted in the words of a magician. And the clan's witch doctor comes in handy!"

As I spoke, the tribal leader of the place had already greeted me, and I briefly explained my request, and the tribal chief immediately assigned three witch doctors and ten assistants to me.

It stands to reason that I've seen the Witch Doctors of the Water Tribes before, and I don't think they're strange except for the weird ones, so I don't think I'm unfamiliar with them.

But it turns out that I once again underestimated the "lethality" of the thirty-six tribes, as if no matter what it is, as long as it is in their hands, they can play tricks for you.

The three guys all had strange patterns painted on their faces, and they had a good Demon Coalition uniform torn into long strips of rags, with earrings on their ears, nose rings, and mouth rings on their lips.

"Answer to Lord Cohen Kayada. One of the leading fellows said, "We are the witch doctors of the Yunling tribe - the real witch doctors!"

"I know you're witch doctors, and I ask you what you're all about. ”

"Back to my lord, we can do some magic, but these magic are healing and healing. He said, "Because our magic is not very good, we work more often on herbs." ”

"Will you treat all kinds of wounds?"

"It depends on what the injury is. ”

"Minor injuries. ”

"No problem. ”

I grabbed him and said, "Are you sure?"

"Yes," he said, "my lord." ”

"Whew!", I pulled out the black iron dagger and struck it in his hand, the wound was not big or deep, the blade almost went in and out of the surface of the skin, and did not hurt the muscles and bones at all. But it was a pair of piercing wounds, and to add to the difficulty, my dagger also cut a point cross-cutting inside.

He let me finish the qiē without resistance, and the dozen or so people didn't even have a trace of fear in their eyes, as if they knew that I wouldn't really hurt him.

"Do you see what it hurts?" I said, "now show me, don't use magic." ”

"Yes, my lord. He had already pulled out a leather cord: "I can see clearly." ”

The wound was in the forearm, he directly turned the piso around his elbow twice, and then inserted a small stick into the piso and tightened it, so that the wound no longer bleed, and then he washed the wound with a milky white liquid, and then took out a small bucket, dug up a foul of fouling paste from it, carefully wiped it on every part of the wound, and then bandaged it with a bandage┅┅ "I'm done, sir." ”

I asked him to explain to me every step and what was used to treat the wound.

Listening to his explanation, I nodded with satisfaction, at least these witch doctors know how to stop bleeding, debridement, and bandage ┅┅These things are enough.

"I have one more question. When he had finished explaining, I said, "Do all the witch doctors of the thirty-six tribes do this?"

"Yes, sir. He replied, "These things are all done by a witch doctor, and although different tribes have their own characteristics, there is not much difference." ”

"There is a difference┅┅What is the difference?"

"For example, wrapping the rope, our Yunling tribe thinks that it is better to twist the stick to the left, but the witch doctor of the Fujijisun tribe will insist on hanging it to the right, and the witch doctor of Tisis, they use metal sticks┅┅"

Well, that's the difference.

"Ordered, the staff immediately contacted the chief of the clan to assign a witch doctor and three assistants to each group of soldiers. I said to the heralds, "I ask these witch doctors to arrive before dark." ”

"Boss, we have an army of 120,000. Jack on one side said, "More than a thousand witch doctors are needed now."

"There you go. I let the heralds go, then turned to Jack and said, "I need these witch doctors to keep the training going! More than a million people, more than 1,000 witch doctors. ”

"Still ┅┅ Meaning?"

"You go to the logistics group again, and tell them that all these witch doctors have joined my army in the Dark Province. I said to another herald, "They are to immediately transfer their uniforms and armor to the witch doctors, who have the rank of second lieutenant and assistants non-commissioned officers." ”

"Yes!"

The three witch doctors couldn't help but be a little surprised when they heard my words.

"Okay! you're going to be glorious officers soon, don't you?" I looked at the one in the lead, "but I'm in a more irritable mood right now┅┅Do you have anything you can do?"

"This old man┅┅ I can't treat this irritable mood!"

"Actually, it's very simple, I'll teach you. ”

"Well, please give me some advice. ”

I put up with the three of them for a long time, and the sudden outburst at this time was indeed a little scary: "You three, immediately find a place where no one is there and wash off the patterns on your face! Then take off all the rings on your body! You are not allowed to make your body stinky in the future! If you dare to tear your clothes and pretend to be different, I will tear the three of you!"

Seeing them fleeing, I was very satisfied with my deterrent. (To be continued......)
