Chapter 13 Frost Maple Ridge Military Training

As the brick kiln named "Griffin Kiln Factory" by the lord officially opened fire, the construction plan of the territory was also carried out in an orderly manner under the planning of Mayor Joel, and Shuangfeng Ridge finally ushered in a stable period.

The Igor leadership, who had suffered from the infection areas for a long time due to the suffering of mercenaries and bandits, finally gradually showed a sincere and comfortable smile in the scorching winter sun of Phoenix Terrace.

The Xiahou Daguan, who was idle all day long except reading banned books to relieve his boredom and was just waiting to move into his new home, finally found something for himself-

Training!

In fact, when we just arrived at the Soul-Splitting Land and formed a "military group" from the migration team, Xiahou Yan had already decided on the development strategy of "combining soldiers and farmers" in Shuangfengling-

On the harsh southern wasteland, the industrial and agricultural productivity that a territory can support will always be proportional to the military protection it can provide!

Farmers without soldiers will only be eaten alive by powerful enemies surrounded by inside and outside!

Therefore, while the craftsman group was busy with daily affairs, the agricultural group was busy fishing and picking and supplementing food, and the business group was still sipping fish as usual, the Lord of the Lord also started to put the military training in Frost Fengling on the agenda with the assistance of Clement and Alice.

Due to the glorious return of the Katerina team, the "security team" under the military group composed of the former Eagle Fort guards has now expanded to thirty-eight people. In terms of the number of people alone, it is enough to maintain territorial security and even have a surplus;

In contrast, the "Igor pioneer army" led by Clement still has only name but no actual personnel. Even a plaque and flag that looks like a dotted are not worthy of.

Xiahou Yan soon noticed the imbalance in the development of these two military forces.

In fact, the current leaders of Shuangfengling are definitely loyal and brave brothers who have been tested by time. The internal security of the territory is not very meaningful;

On the contrary, the pioneering army with the goal of deploying foreign military forces should be the main axis of territorial military construction!

Therefore, in addition to transferring Master Laurie's apprentice, Wind-type mage Wilson, to Clement, the Lord also conceived a more grand plan:

Through systematic military training, a group of soldiers were recruited from the leaders of Shuangfengling for the "Igor Development Army"!

Of course, due to the current development status of hard entrepreneurship, the new territory of Igor is certainly unable to maintain a fully-off-limited standing army;

But being able to train a group of farmers and craftsmen into militias that can be used in critical moments can already satisfy Xiahou Yan!

Even in his plan, for a long time, the "Igor pioneer army" should exist as a militia armed force!

So, taking advantage of the sun that day, Xiahou Yan began to organize the first military training at Shuangfengling in a clearing space on the edge of the Phoenix Platform.

The target of this training was a group of young male leaders from Shuangfengling, with 70 or 80 people, and they were completely selected by the principle of voluntary registration.

——To Xiahou Yan’s surprise, the people of Shuangfengling were extremely enthusiastic about the registration for military training, which made people quite doubt whether they were interested in becoming militias, and some of the privileges of agricultural labor could be exempted.

The guards of the military team served as the "instructor" in the military training this time.

After Xiahou Yan's observation, the levels of these guards were actually uneven;

Among them are folk masters with extraordinary archery skills like Chris Mann, and dog soldiers like Tom Lawrence who are scattered.

For this military training, he specially talked with Alice all night and planned eight reliable candidates from the guards;

Although these elite guards are not considered first-class warriors, they are more than enough to supervise the leaders to train.

On this day, the sun is shining brightly and the water waves are gentle.

Amid the anticipation of many trainees, Xiahou Yan wore a slightly outdated imperial white military uniform, black leather boots, and held the zombie Dave on a dog leash. He walked up to the newly built military platform with great courage, looking like a pretentious warlord of the Republic of China.

Fortunately, Xiahou Daguan was shameless and did not say a few words in front of everyone, "The cannon is blowing his mother" or something.

He led Dave and carefully emphasized the current dangerous situation in the wasteland and the urgent need for military forces in the territory. He once again encouraged everyone to receive training seriously in order to protect their relatives and friends around them...

After the clichés, everyone in the audience sang the "Shuangfengling Military Song" in unison, as the last part of the opening ceremony of the "First Military Academy of Frost Fengling".

Speaking of this military song from Shuangfeng Ridge, the Lord of the Lord actually took some thought;

He weighed the trade-offs between "We attacked the enemy fiercely and led the people to rush forward; behind us is Phoenix Platform, Frost Maple Ridge is more expensive than anything else" and "The Lion Heart River is striking waves, and the clouds are surging in the dusty mountains" for a long time, and finally chose the ancient lyrics full of revolutionary unity, "How can you say you are not clothes, and you are with your son; the lord builds troops and repairs my spear";

As for these earth lyrics, if you can leave some meaning after being translated into the common language of the Empire, it is completely out of your consideration.

After the leader’s speech and everyone’s singing routines ended, the training officially began.

Under the supervision and leadership of the guard instructors, the leaders who signed up for training began to run around the camp.

——Although most of these future militias in Shuangfengling are tenants who work in agricultural labor every day, and their physical fitness is enough to look down on the earth's otaku who is not diligent in all aspects of grain, Xiahou Yan still puts physical training first:

Shuangfengling, which had not many people, did not need these militia to form a formation, nor would they expect them to train as martial arts masters like Guo Jing and Yang Guo, and to control thousands of troops to rush to the wind;

If you can run and lift a knife, not to mention how many enemies you kill, at least you can protect yourself and your family when foreign enemies attack, which is Xiahou Yan's minimum requirement for these militias.

Even the Lord himself set an example and ran several laps with the training team:

Although the body he obtained after traveling through time was still able to wield a crowbar, it was definitely not strong. Xiahou Daguan Ren had already planned to exercise his body well.

According to the training plan formulated by Alice and Clement, in the future, in the continuous militia training, in addition to physical fitness, they also need to practice basic saber fighting techniques and learn to use a ranged weapon-

——Of course, this will have to wait until the production conditions of the craftsman team can provide sufficient weapons products.

It is worth mentioning that regarding the choice of long-range weapons, Alice and Clemente rejected the proposal of bow and arrow in an unanimous manner, insisting on issuing scattered ropes to the militia.

The reason is very simple: unlike many people’s imagination, bows and arrows with practical combat are actually not a weapon that can be easily mastered!

To be able to continuously pull and use a hard bow with sufficient lethality, the requirements for muscle strength and body stability are very perverted. This is why in ancient times, "strength can be used to draw a strong bow" often describe a strong man;

Usually, an excellent human archer will never look like the thin and elegant elf prince in the movie, but will be a big muscle bully with endless strength and full of tendons!

Although she has a baby face and a strong figure, Chris Mann is the best proof!

In contrast, the catapult rope not only has low learning cost, but also has extremely simple production, so you don’t have to worry about ammunition like a bow and arrow. There are gravel everywhere in the wasteland. If you bend over and pick up a piece, you can throw it out with the catapult rope!

——The various strategic planning of Shuangfengling is always full of simplicity and pragmatism.
Chapter completed!
