Cthulhu Gonfalon

Compared with the ambitious hero, Crick’s idea is much simpler and more practical.

At present, the work he pays attention to is not only new agriculture, but also training.

The last time he was ordered to participate in the Volunteers who supported the eagle kingdom, the Knights of Keane suffered heavy losses. More than one-tenth of the more than one hundred people returned did not arrive. Even the Cavalier Divor Oss died in the battlefield. This made the Baron Keane’s strength hurt, and it can be said that the elite of the Territory’s army was almost ruined.

This account is not difficult to calculate. Generally speaking, a baron should have three knights. Each knight should have three cavalry, ten professional soldiers (the hunters sometimes count), and twenty or so militia. The baron itself should have six cavalry, about twenty professional soldiers, and fifty or so militia. In general, a baron collar can be dispatched by fifteen or six cavalry, about fifty professional soldiers, and one hundred in the early militia.

The Knights of Keane are almost a standard baron collar. One loss of more than one person at a time is really hurtful. If there is still some money in Crick, there are still a few masters in the territory sitting in the town, and pulling the Void Mask Church to support the waist, I am afraid that I can be robbed and robbed by the bandits.

But relying on masters alone is not enough. Maintaining order, chasing bandits, patrolling, collecting taxes, checkpoints, etc... all require manpower. The masters are even better, and they can't be divided into several people.

Therefore, Crick must recruit again to fill the gap in the territory.

After careful consideration, he decided to follow the example of some history through the novel and try to train the army in another way.

First, he gave up the plan to recruit adventurers as professional soldiers. The strength of the adventurers is naturally beyond doubt, no matter whether loyalty or discipline is a problem, professional soldiers themselves do not need too strong strength, they need training and discipline.

Then he gave up the idea of ​​training the militia. The reason why the militia is called a militia is to say that the people who receive a little military training are white. Even if such soldiers have weapons, combat power and will to fight are also very doubtful. When they are in the upper hand, they may not be able to catch up with the enemies who fled. When they are confronted, they can't stand the scene. In the inferior situation, they don't run away, thank God. Instead of wasting manpower and resources to train the militia, it is better to save these resources and train several professional soldiers.

As for the cavalry, there is really no way. Even among the adventurers, there are very few horse-riding snorers. Most of the "riding horse" adventurers are able to ride on horseback. Still have to dismount. Being able to ride right away, even a hero who can charge and ride, not to mention training, recruitment is difficult to recruit.

In fact, there are less than ten people in the entire body of the Baron of Keane, and the Dwarf Oss Knight who has already sacrificed.

Since it has been decided, Crick issued a recruitment notice to recruit soldiers from the entire territory.

However, the requirements for recruiting soldiers this time are different from those of the past. They do not require “strong and strong”, “fierce” and “dare to kill”, but require “honest duty”, “discipline” and “obey orders”.

This requirement made everyone feel surprised, and the James Knight couldn't help but ask.

"Adults, don't recruit adventurers to be soldiers, you can't train militia, but how can you recruit soldiers is different from others!" The loyal Howard James Knight advised, "You are going to Recruiting professional soldiers who are off-the-shelf, of course, you should ask everyone to be a tall man, but also dare to fight and dare to kill. That kind of honest Pakistani will only listen to the order, what can be used?"

Crick smiled and said, "I don't know if the soldiers should recruit strong men who can fight, but in our territory, there are very few such people. If you recruit again, if something happens, It’s true that even the militia is gone. On the contrary, keep them in the private sector, and when they are more comfortable in the future, they can train them to be militia captains, and they may be able to help them when they are.”

When James Knight stunned, he felt that this argument seemed to make sense. It seemed that something was wrong, but when he thought about it, he couldn’t think of where the problem was. He could only frown and leave. While walking, while still talking to himself, he was pondering.

Crick smiled a little and fooled a person with only nine intelligences. It was really not a challenging thing.

For the Knights of Keane, who have just died more than a hundred strong men, it is not easy to recruit brave men who dare to fight and dare to kill, but it is not difficult to recruit ordinary people who are honest and obedient. In just five or six days, the 30 people who Crick had scheduled were recruited.

According to his plan, after the 30 people were trained, ten people were sent to their villages directly under the jurisdiction, and the remaining twenty were left in the town. As for the two knights, Charles Oss and Howard James, they all have the ability to defend their territory, without the need for the creator of Crick.

After recruiting 30 people, it is natural to train them.

According to past traditions, professional soldiers' training programs generally have three parts: the use of weapons, the wearing of armor, and the simulation of actual combat.

In terms of weapons, professional soldiers are divided into three categories: sword shields, spears and bows. The swords and shields are those who are thick but not tall enough. They are the pillars of the army and are responsible for resisting enemy attacks. The use of bows and arrows is a professional, the number is small, the lethality is not great, but it can effectively attack the enemy. Morale; as for the lack of special skills, learn to use spears, this is the easiest.

In the armor, the sword shield must wear heavy armor, generally wear inlaid armor, even wearing a chain of interlocking chains and hides; the spearmen wear thick leather armor; as for archers, if possible, wear chains A, if you don't have the conditions, you can wear a light leather armor.

This is not to say that the archers are pursuing agility, so they must wear light armor, but the archers are behind them, generally not using A.

Although ... in fact, often the archers have the highest military value, but most excellent archers, most of them are also very strong, but who will let them go to battle with people! That's a waste!

It’s true that even when the archers are going to fight the sword, it’s almost like the lord’s own life is almost insured. At this time, who still cares about others!

But Crick's approach is very different from that of others. Among the 30 people he recruited, there is not even an archer or a sword shield, and all the pikemen. And the armor he prepared for the pikemen was different, not the ordinary back armor, but the one-piece lock piece.

Although those locks are relatively rude, but the quality is worse, it is also a lock piece!

A lock piece, even if it is crude, often requires more than one hundred gold coins. The locks of the 30 people are almost three thousand five hundred gold coins. If there were some stocks in the territory itself, the eagle kingdom returned a lot of relics after the war. Just buying these armor would make Crick, who is currently not well-funded, feel a little bit distressed.

However, I have to admit that the 30 soldiers wearing the locks and holding the spears in several rows are indeed mighty and powerful.

Crick’s training program for them is also very strange. It’s not unusual for them to go to the grass to smash the target, but to start with the line and walk.

“Is these things useful?” Howard James Knight asked privately.

Crick himself did not have much confidence, but he felt that the people were recruited anyway, and the money was spent. Then how should this experiment be done?

Under his orders, these soldiers who were not long ago were farmers or small helpers who waited for the queue, walked together, and added physical training such as long-distance running. In general, they were not like a group of soldiers. It seems like a group of actors.

Not only that, Crick will go to the military camp every few days to inspect, give them political lessons, and tell them that "you fight as soldiers, not to earn money to support themselves, but to protect your stable life now", tell them "For the soldiers, death is terrible, but failure and escape are more terrible." Give them a sweet and bitter taste, compare the hard life of the past, compare the current stable life... In short, think of various ways to stimulate their fighting spirit.

However, to be honest, the effect is very general.

It is true that the intelligence of these soldiers is generally not high, and the highest one is only nine, but there are several intelligence seven. But they are definitely not stupid, and they are not like the soldiers in some old-fashioned Long Aotian style novels. The protagonist’s tiger body is exuding the power of the king’s tyrants, and they have turned down and worshipped. The loyalty immediately locked in one hundred. .

They come to be soldiers, in the final analysis, or to make money, in order to live a better life.

For them, nothing is more terrible than death. In fact, they have not yet prepared themselves for killing or being killed. They have not yet completed the transformation from ordinary people to warriors.

Why do general recruiting professional soldiers emphasize dare to fight? The key is here.

Crick is not in a hurry. He still trains them to stand in the queue every day, walk in step, physical strength, and still patrol regularly to give them lectures.

About a month later, the queues of these soldiers were all neatly arranged, and they walked in the same way, so the training went to the next link, and the pistol was stabbed.

The long-gun method is actually a very large system. In general, there are four parts: 砸, thorn, sweep, and top. Hey, refers to squatting from top to bottom with a long gun. It is especially useful when you are fighting with the other pikemen. The thorn is the puncture. This is the most important means of attack. The sweep is to use a long gun to sweep around and drive away such as the goblin. Monsters and the like, and the mobs are very useful; top, is to fix the rifle on the ground, forming a bullet forest that is difficult to make an appointment, which is naturally used against the cavalry, although it is almost impossible to use.

A skilled soldier, just four major tricks to learn a long gun, will take more than half a year. But Crick directly ignored the remaining three tricks and only retained the collective puncture.

In this way, the speed of training is naturally greatly accelerated, but the combat effectiveness of soldiers is also greatly reduced.

Howard James Knight is worried again, privately persuaded, suggest how to train other tricks.

"There is no time." Crick said, "First line the team - go ahead - stab, this set is learned, and then practice physical fitness, and then put on armor, they can fight."

"I can't do this..."

"In any case, they just want them to annihilate the goblins." Crick said with a smile. "Other tricks are not needed for the time being."

The Knight of Intelligence 9 was once again convinced, even though he still felt very wrong.
