Chapter two hundred and forty fifth nest fire
At the wide wasteland training ground outside the Beiguan Military Fort, Yat is watching a confrontational training for the Wells Legion.
This is a confrontational training that has been prepared for a long time. The main forces of the confrontational training are the first company and the second company of the Wells Corps. The gōngnǔ and the cavalry team also abandoned their bows and dismounted their horses and joined the first company camp as infantry, while the heavy infantry team joined the second company camp.
Yat and five soldiers of the military law team stood on the high platform outside the training ground as arbitrators, responsible for judging the results of the two armies' competition. Robert, the priest of the army, was also invited to accompany Yat to observe this special training.
The two teams lined up neatly with more than a hundred steps away, and behind them were each placed a large and eight small nine-faced military flags.
The flags of the Wells Legion are all vertical strips, and the flags are based on the blood-eyed roaring wolf emblem, declaring that the commander of this army is the frontier Baron Atwood Wells, and below the roaring wolf emblem are two crossed knight swords; the words "Company X" are written under the sword of the company flag are written in white dye, and the words "Company X Flag Team" are written under the sword of the flag team are written in "Company X Flag Team" are written under the sword of the flag team. There is no special military flag below the flag team, and only the triangular heraldic flag flag is used as the identity mark.
Today's training content is very simple. There is a military flag on both sides of the center line of the field. The two military flags are one hundred feet wide. The two sides represent the territory of the two armies. Both sides form an array to charge against each other. The company that seizes the nine military flags of the opponent will be considered a victory. However, the two armies must pass between the two military flags to enter the other's "territory". If this is not the case, the hundreds of soldiers on the entire training ground will probably scatter into a large area, which will lose the meaning of line confrontation.
The two sides of the confrontation training held long sticks and short sticks used in the training, wore armor, lifted up their shields, and hundreds of people stood facing each other, which really felt like fighting.
Originally, according to Yat's idea, we should simulate the real battle plot and join traps and trenches, resist horse obstacles, small raids, offensive defense, return to reinforcements, cavalry charges, gōngnǔ cover and other simulation training contents. However, considering that almost all the recruits who participated in the confrontation training were newly completed shortly, Yat greatly simplified the confrontation training. Both sides were wearing full sets of heavy armor, holding sticks and shields, and wrestling under the command of the officer.
As a reward for this training winner, they will receive a full day of rest and a full ten barrels of thirty-pound valley homemade "Wells Beer" and a wild boar that has just been hunted. It is not unusual for wild boars, but the day of rest plus 300 pounds of beer is really attractive to these soldiers with good wines.
"Wave the flag and prepare!" Yat ordered a guard beside him who served as the bannerman.
The trunk leader pulled out a black roaring wolf fork sword military flag from the wooden flag trough on the side. The general's flag was raised high and circled in the air. This banner means "preparing for battle".
As the military flags were waving on the high platform, the two armies began to prepare for the flag. First, the two company flags were erected, then the eight flags were erected, and finally a large number of pennant flags were erected.
The "army" on both sides of the training ground were flying flags. Although the scene was not spectacular, it was also exciting.
On the left side of Att, the first company led by Odo is surrounded by six elite soldiers, and each flag team also has three strong soldiers as flag guards. There is also a team of twenty people in front of the flag guards. Obviously, they are also "defense troops" to guard the "territory". Once the "enemy" breaks through the border and approaches the military flag, they will step forward to "fight and stop"; in front of the "defense troops", there is the main force of combat, with their number close to 200, divided into four rows of line formations that are the same width as the military flag on the center line. After the order is sounded, they will advance towards the "border" and defeat the "enemy troops" there to capture the "enemy territory"...
On the right side of Yat is the second infantry company led by Angus. Unlike the first company's steady and steady steps, the second company does not arrange a "remaining defense" team at all. Each army has only two guards, and all the remaining soldiers will be used for "border charge". The second company is also different in formation. They selected the fiftiest strongest soldiers in the army into a triangular cone formation. Behind the awl composed of fifty people is three rows of queues as wide as the military flag. The second company uses attack as the defense. Once the charge order is sounded, these fifty people will tear the cracks from the "enemy" formation in the shortest time, and then fifty soldiers will nail them into the cracks, and then all the soldiers will run towards the "enemy" flag along the cracks...
"Guys! Do you want to defeat your opponent?"
"think!"
"Do you want to lie in bed and drink delicious beer?"
"think!"
"Then encourage me and defeat them!"
The captain of the second company, Angus, was mobilizing "pre-war".
While the second company was shouting and cheering, Odo from the first company also raised the shield in his hand to mobilize the morale of the soldiers from left to right...:
Woo~Woo~Woo~Woo~~
Three horns sounded.
charge!
Charge! Charge!
A shocking shout sounded on the training ground, and the two armies rushed towards each other with a scream. The two black iron streams quickly collided violently...
The priest Robert, who was in charge of the army, looked at the two teams fighting in a row and reminded Yat with a worried look: "Master Yat, isn't it too cruel for you to train soldiers like this? Hundreds of people charge, even if they hold sticks, there is a high possibility of casualties."
Yat stared at the confrontation in the training ground and replied: "Father Robert, I firmly believe that only when the bloody battles are gone on in daily life. If the soldiers are not allowed to bleed and sweat during training, how could they become the strongest warriors?"
"As for casualties, it is indeed inevitable, so my medical team is waiting aside and ready to treat the injured at any time." Yat pointed to the six medical soldiers under the training ground, where three wooden cloth beds called "stretchers" were placed next to them.
"Mr. Att, I still have to remind you that your soldiers are humans, not gods, they are flesh and blood, and your training is too strict, and the soldiers will definitely resist your training." What Robert said was not groundless. He had already smelled the smell of resistance in the Wells Legion. Those veterans who followed Att all the way through life and death were fine. The new soldiers who had not experienced the cruelty of the war did not have such awareness. They just thought that Att was torture them. The more dissatisfied, the more the fight between the soldiers and the conflicts between the soldiers and the officers began to sprout.
"Master Yat, not every soldier can understand your intention. The seeds of dissatisfaction have begun to sprout among those soldiers."
Yat had already noticed that some soldiers began to complain. They could not understand Yat's inhuman torture before they received the experience of war. The high military pay could not allow every soldier to break through his nature, and this seed born from the heart could not be destroyed by harsh military laws.
"You are right, Father Robert, recently, several new war soldiers have appeared in the Legion who have been punished and even removed from the list for resisting training."
Yat obviously also had plans to deal with it, "So I plan to set up a new position of military monk in the legion, and be responsible for conveying the ideas of fighting for God and lords for the legion soldiers, relieving the dissatisfaction of soldiers, and conveying the true thoughts of soldiers in their hearts and relieving the resentment in their hearts... In short, they will play an important role in stabilizing the morale of the army and uniting people. These military monks will become part of the Wells Legion, accepting the control of the legion and enjoying the military salary of the squadron leader. What do you think?"
Father Robert was frightened when he heard this. Yat actually wanted to appoint the church clergy in the army. It was really a bit horrible that a small baron dared to usurp the power of the church.
"Mr. Att, you must not set up this military monk. The last time you used a clergy in your territory to temporarily act as a clergy in your territory did not comply with the rules of the church, but after all, it can be said that the clergy is lacking, and the devout believers spontaneously rise up to serve God. If the church asks you, you can barely pass it over."
"But the establishment of military monks in the army is like your officers. Once the church knows this, you can't bear the charge of being a secular lord who is involved in the church's priesthood without authorization." Robert baptized the church for many years and knew which areas were forbidden zones.
Yat had thought of this a long time ago and replied, "Then I will not call them military monks. I am the Ideological and Political Officer, and they are the most devout believers. The church will not interfere with me in setting up ordinary officers? These people are just helping me control the thoughts of soldiers, not clergy. But I hope you can teach them some communication skills between God and believers."
"This~This seems~" Robert could not refute for a moment.
Just as Yat and Robert were discussing the Ideological and Political Officer, Ron, who had been in charge of torture the "Asassin" killer, hurried to the platform to find Yat and said with his ears: "Master, that guy is so angry."
Yat turned his head and asked softly, "Have you asked all the questions?"
"Asassin's secret den in Thorne City has already known them. Their codes, contact information, and activity rules have been clearly understood..."
Yat left the guard and the priest Robert to continue watching the referee. He took Ron and returned to the Beiguan Army Fort. Stanley, the guard who interrogated with Ron, was cutting off the head of the body. There was another head that had been cut off in the corner of the house...
Looking at the stiff headless corpse in the stone house, Yat's eyes shone fiercely, "The Dean family is pestering us like a dog shit and rotten snake. Now I use this evil trick to deal with us again. This time I must eradicate the Dean family!"
When Ron heard that Yat was finally going to attack the disgusting Dean family, he said excitedly: "Master, we should have killed the Dean family long ago. The father and son are so disgusting. You ordered that I immediately lead the guards and military law team to sneak into Wincheston Manor to cut off the heads of Dean and his son."
This tone has been holding back for too long. From the apprentice Knight to the frontier Baron, the Dean family is as disgusting as flies. Not only Ron and other young and energetic officers have already sharpened their swords, but even Odo, who has always been calm and tolerated, feels very angry. The officers do not say it on the surface, but they all complain about Att's "weakness" in private.
Yat was not in a hurry to give Ron the order, and he said slowly: "You all think I am too weak in the affairs of the Dean family, and everyone is very upset?"
"Ron, do you know how much wealth the Dean family is? After three generations of management, the Dean family's wealth is at least five million Finney! Baron Galvin has worked hard for decades, and the remaining wealth in the family is only one million."
"Do you know how many powerful people in the palace are pointing at the Dean family to make money?"
"Although Dean is just a knight, his energy is much stronger than that of Bazel. I don't blink my eyes when I kill Bazel. However, it is too risky to kill Dean rashly, especially at the forefront of this kind of storm. Earl Bernard is worried that there is no right reason to destroy us. The Western Army stationed in Wincheston Manor is a signal."
Ron was still a little dissatisfied, "It's so tiring, it's better to fight on the battlefield."
Yat's face darkened, "Ron, it's okay if others don't want to endure this affliction, but you will be responsible for my intelligence network and Hawkeye in the future. You must get used to thinking about these bad things."
"But this time we don't have to hold our temper anymore. The Dean family dares to collude with pagans and murder devout believers of God. This crime is enough to destroy the Dean family."
"Master, then we shouldn't kill this guy. We should force him to ask for his crime and then escort him to Besanson to report to the Archbishop..."
Yat waved his hand, "It's not enough. Just grabbing a minion can't defeat the Dean family, and we can't count on Archbishop Besanson for this matter."
“Where do you mean?”
"I'm going to take Assassin's nest, beat them all up, and use a pagan organization to bring down the Dean family!"
"This matter must be started as soon as possible. Once the Dean family notices that the matter is exposed, there will be no chance. Ron, I will give you two days to select thirty most elite soldiers in the legion to form a temporary team. You can choose from ordinary combat soldiers to squadron captains."
"After you are selected, you and Stanley are responsible for training this temporary team. In the past two days, you have figured out the ways of Assassin's killers. You will train this team specifically for these killers, so that they can learn to track, lurk, siege, and assault. I will also participate in the training in person. I will also send Spencer to the entire legion arsenal and the weapons and armor of the entire legion arsenal, and return them after completing the task."
"But time is tight, I will take you to do this big thing within a week, so you two must hurry up."
"Yes, lord!" A hint of revenge came to Ron's excited face.
At this time, there were sounds of mountain crying in the wasteland outside the North Pass, and the confrontation in the training ground should have been decided.
"You two clean up the place and hang your head on the fort gate." After that, he walked towards the training ground.
Chapter completed!
