Chapter 132: A New Commander?
Sacrificing his life to save someone else was something Gawain would never do, and Cross, who he knew before, would not do such a thing, which was extremely stupid.
It was precisely because of Cross's behavior of saving Tina this time that Gawain had such a reaction.
Gawain doesn't want Cross to become a stupid person, he doesn't want Cross's life to be in danger, because Cross is a friend, and because, without Cross, Gawain will lose his dependence on survival.
Gawain knew very well that he was able to survive in such troubled times because of Cross, and without Cross, he would have died the moment he escaped from the Castle of Immortals.
Moreover, if Cross dies now, Gawain will also feel uneasy, and he will not be able to completely trust anyone other than Cross, because none of those people are from noble origins.
Until now, Gawain has not been able to let go of his preconceived notions of being an aristocracy, which have limited his communication with commoners and completely limited his development.
After a heartfelt confession, Gawain finally dropped this sentence.
"Cross Crane, if you continue like this, you will regret it eventually, and if you are really ambitious, be ruthless. ”
Gawain leaves.
From the beginning of Gawain's speech to the end, Cross didn't say a word, he knew, it was useless to say anything, and he also knew that if Gawain still wanted to call himself a nobleman, it would be really difficult for him to survive in Copperhill Town in the future.
Looking at Gawain's distant back, Cross turned his gaze to Nia, "Nia, don't take Gawain's words to heart. ”
"Well, I know, those are the angry words of Lord Gawain, and he doesn't actually think so. ”
Cross really hopes that Gawain is just tsundere, and if it's just tsundere, then he can still be saved.
"It's your turn, Nia. What do you want to say to me?"
"Lord Cross, what I want to say has something to do with Tina. "Nia is worried that Cross is emotional, so she will make a statement beforehand.
"Well, let's talk about it. ”
"What if Tina goes berserk again?"
Hearing this, Cross smiled, Nia's question was much more meaningful than Gawain's, and this was something a lord should consider.
"I have a way. ”
"What's the solution?" Nia was a little worried, she didn't want to hurt Cross by suppressing Tina's rampage.
"My blood can make her recover from the rampage, I just need to prepare a small vial of blood. ”
"Hmm......" Nya nodded as if she didn't understand.
She didn't know how it worked, but she trusted Cross.
"Master Cross, I'll go first. ”
"Wait, you go and call Lancelot, I have something to talk to you two. ”
"We?" said Nia, pointing to herself, confused.
"Hmm. ”
......
It wasn't long before Nia took Lancelot to Cross's room.
At this time, Cross was the only one in the room, and Link, the wood fairy, had already gone to the nearby mountains and forests to absorb the power of nature.
Seeing the two enter the house, Cross spread out a piece of parchment on the table.
The two leaned over to the table curiously.
"What is this?" asked Lancelot.
"This is a simple map I made, a simple map centered on Blackwater. ”
The two of them looked at it carefully and nodded their heads to show their approval of Cross's level of painting, perhaps, just to mean that they understood.
"Do you know why I called you?"
After the two were silent for a while, Lancelot took the lead in guessing, "Tell us the reason for the defeat in the battle in Blackwater?"
Cross shook his head.
"I don't know. Nia was very sincere.
"I want to train you two to be commanders. ”
Cross's words surprised both of them.
After a moment, Lancelot first changed from surprise to excitement, "Lord Cross, you're not kidding, are you? Are you really willing to train me to be a commander?"
"Hmm. ”
"Great! It's really great, I really didn't expect that I would become a commander one day!" Lancelot excitedly walked around the room, "Your Excellency Cross Crane, I, Lancelot, swear to the gods that I will work hard to learn all kinds of military knowledge and become an excellent commander!"
Cross turned his gaze to Nia, wondering how she would react to it, "Do you want to be the Commander?" ”
"I might not be good enough. And...... If I become a commander, I will no longer be a guard. ”
"Nia, you can't think about it, you have the ability to be a commander, and you can be my bodyguard. ”
"Good~"
Perhaps because of her young age, Nia hadn't yet discovered her own sparkle, but that light couldn't escape Cross's eyes. He was sure that Nia would become one of the most prominent commanders of this era.
In this way, Cross began a military tutorial for the two.
In general military education, military theoretical knowledge is taught first, and only when students have fully mastered the theory will they use actual combat as case studies for analysis. In this way, the students' acceptance will be relatively high, and after mastering the theory, they can deduce from the theory to the actual battle.
However, this time for the tutorial, Cross directly used this battle in Blackwater.
Using a battle that you have participated in directly will make the learner more engaged and stimulate their thinking.
Although Nia and Lancelot did not receive theoretical knowledge, Cross only talked about actual combat, not theory.
Because this is what Cross's mentor also taught him, and his mentor once said, 'All theories are summaries of actual battles.' ’
Since they are all summaries of actual combat, it is enough to directly study actual combat, and moreover, it is not enough to study actual combat, but we must also experience it personally, whether it is as a soldier in actual combat or as a commander of one side in actual combat.
Only by experiencing it in person can we truly comprehend the so-called military talent.
However, this kind of teaching method is still not suitable for Nia and Lancelot at this stage, so Cross's teaching progress is also very slow.
But he didn't care, what he wanted was two commanders who could really command operations, not those instructors in the military academy who only knew simulated operations.
Watching Nia and Lancelot's argument, Cross was very relieved.
Nia's military mindset is similar to that of Cross, and she likes to win in unexpected ways, which may have been influenced by Cross.
Lancelot, on the other hand, is more cautious and doesn't like to take risks.
