The high military pay of the standing army attracted a large number of civilians to register, but the strict screening standards kept many people out.

After a week of screening and recruitment, the three hundred recruits who were lucky enough to pass the screening finally met the target they wanted to be loyal to - Earl of Idal and Bruno Stuart in the military camp.

Bruno couldn't help but smile when he looked at these energetic recruits. These are teams he created with his own hands!

"Soldiers, from today on, you have become members of the first battalion of the Idar's standing army!" Bruno officially announced.

"I believe many of you are attracted by the military pay I offer. Here, I promise to each of you that I will never ow any of you a piece of military pay, and all military pay will be paid on time and on time!"

"Every recruit you present can receive a gold coin's military pay and thirty copper coin living allowance immediately after today's training, and the other two gold coins will be distributed after the end of one year's service."

As soon as they joined the army, they had money, which made the soldiers who were already a little nervous immediately calm down. Such a high military salary... can be said to be the only scorpion cake in the entire Norman Empire!

"But everyone... my sir's military pay is not that easy to get! After today's training, those who want to withdraw still have a chance to withdraw, but if they want to withdraw today, or if they are deserters, they will be punished as deserters and the whole family will be regarded as serfs!"

"So, now... is anyone trying to quit?"

Bruno's punishment for deserters can be said to be cruel, because he would never allow such a thing to happen after the army that he had high hopes for was officially served!

Because this is related to the safety of the entire Idal territory!

The punishment Bruno mentioned undoubtedly shocked the recruits present, but these poor and scared civilians had never suffered any pain, so they only had a trace of fear in their hearts, but no one proposed to withdraw.

After all, although they cannot be said to be men from a hundred, they were also selected from thousands of people. They finally got their wish and became new recruits in the standing army and would never give up easily!

Bruno looked around and saw that no one raised objections, and said with a smile: "Since no one quits... then let's start training now."

"Sam, start training according to the training method I gave you." After Bruno said that, he turned over and left with Liszt and a few close servants.

Because he had already handed over the planned training method to Sam before, he was relieved.

Now, he was going to go back to the Lord's Castle as Idal's blacksmith brought his long-awaited iron pot early this morning!

Bruno couldn't wait to return to the castle to taste the stir-fry, and the days of eating white bread and boiled vegetables all day were simply unbearable.

...

In the military camp.

Sam looked at the recruits present with some sympathy.

He has read the training methods given to him by Bruno in detail. To be honest, he does not agree with the training methods of the Count.

After all... in Sam's impression, Bruno never fought a war.

But such a noble master who had never been in contact with military and war took it for granted to compile a "Idar Standing Army Training Manual". From which perspective, this is a very strange thing.

What's more, the content in the manual opened Sam's eyes and was unheard of.

However, as an military officer under Idal, Sam could only succumb to Bruno's "desperate" power...

"Now, the first item to be trained - stand in a military posture!" Sam shouted at the top of his voice.

The new recruits present looked at each other, what the hell was standing in front of them?

Even if you have never participated in the military newcomers, in their impression, the training of soldiers should be to practice sting, chopping, blocking and other events.

"No whispering!" Sam glared fiercely at a few recruits who were whispering, "If you want to speak, you must shout 'report'!"

Seeing that the soldiers were quiet, Sam continued, "High up and close his legs... Hurry up, do what I said! His hands naturally drooped, his heels were close together, and his feet were separated by sixty degrees... You! Don't make small moves!" Sam walked, pointing out the mistakes of a soldier from time to time.

"Look your eyes straight ahead, don't shake your head!"

"Look forward! Your hands are close to the trouser seams!"

"Report!" a recruit suddenly shouted.

"explain!"

“What is the trouser seam?”

Sam was stunned for a moment and said, "Anyway, put your hands tightly on both sides of your thighs!"

Standing military posture is a very simple subject, but standing military posture for a long time can test a person's patience.

According to Bruno's schedule, the whole morning should be the time to stand in military posture. Seeing that the soldiers were standing motionless, Sam, who was a little curious, also stood up in military posture according to the requirements in the manual.

But... just over ten minutes later, he felt his legs start to feel a little sore and his feet are slightly numb.

It was not until this time that Sam realized the terribleness of the "Idar Standing Army Training Manual", but... As the instructor of this army, since he stood up in front of the soldiers for his death, he could not rest earlier than the soldiers...

This made Sam suffer. He felt his hands and feet become more and more sore, and his whole body was exhausted. Although it was winter, his back was gradually sweating...

As Bruno expected, Sam was originally a fool who could not stand the loneliness, and it was even more uncomfortable to keep him standing with the recruits in a military position than killing him with one knife.

Finally... I don't know how long it took, but a new recruit in the queue couldn't hold on and fainted.

Sam then announced his rest on the spot.

As soon as he finished speaking, almost all of the recruits sat on the ground all of a sudden, cursing in his heart who was thinking of the training method, and being so tired of standing in the military posture.

Sam quickly ordered someone to carry the fainted recruit into the tent, and then he had the time to read the "Idal Standing Army Training Manual".

My master... is really a rare military genius!

After looking through the manual again, Sam noticed that there was a line of small words at the bottom of the military posture column. It was recommended that it should not exceed 30 minutes during the first training, and the subsequent training time can be adjusted according to the actual situation...
