Chapter 251 Drill and Melee Weapon Improvement Plan

With the continuous expansion of the territory, the population gathered on this land has reached more than 10,000, and the Cecil Combat Corps has also undergone a new round of expansion in the process-a system similar to the construction of a corps and magic countermeasures. The great help of production and construction allows Cecil Territory to maintain a fairly high ratio of military and civilians, and at the same time, it has not affected the development and operation of the territory too much.

Gawain has always believed in one thing: the troubled times are coming, whether it is the monsters in the wasteland of Gondor or the war between the human kingdoms will find him sooner or later, and in order to deal with the imminent danger, build a powerful armed force It is necessary and inevitable.

With the expansion of the Cecil Combat Corps and the gradual improvement of various administrative frameworks in the territory, Gao Wen's training of this army has become more formal and rigorous, compared to many of the "three chapters" in the early days of the territory's construction. Superficial regulations, Gao Wen has formulated military regulations that are clearer, stricter, and easier to count rewards and punishments. He stipulates the allowances and benefits of each sergeant, stipulates the basic behavior of soldiers, and stipulates how to supervise the army and how to count military merit. , How to punish dereliction of duty, and in order to enforce these rules and regulations, he also ordered the two knights Philip and Byron to select a group of literate and honest and reliable people from young soldiers to serve as grassroots commanders-should Thanks to the efforts of the teachers in the night school, more and more people are literate in the territory, and it is not difficult to select such a group of low-level commanders.

Gawain himself is not a person who understands the military, but fortunately, Gawain Cecil is an expert in this field, and with the theory accumulated in his previous life as a keyboard warrior, he finally built this framework.

After the framework is established and the system is formulated, the rest is almost brainwashing recruit education, as well as endless drills, making all the rules and regulations and code of conduct into conditioned reflexes, engraved on every Cecil Soldier's bones.

In the military area on the east side of the territory, the recruits are undergoing daily physical training. These people who were ordinary farmers and handymen not long ago are now wearing the standard Cecil armor and carrying the same weight as the combat backpack. A training backpack, with steel gauntlets that are almost the same size and weight as the magic terminal, tied to their arms, and carried this equipment in the open space for queue training, while Gawain stood with the two knights Byron and Philip. Keep an eye on the training of the soldiers.

From time to time, veterans who acted as instructors scolded and scolded from the field, but today, the complaints and roars of the recruits were no longer heard.

"To be honest, the queue training you advocated at the time was really useful," Byron couldn't help but sigh when he saw the recruits who had been able to line up the team in just a few days, "After some training, At least their obedience went up."

Philip Knight is lamenting something else: "Taking the simplified code of knighthood as a soldier's code of conduct and requiring everyone to do it, I really didn't expect this to be achieved."

"As long as the drills are in place, let them remember the content of their daily learning in their bones like conditioned reflexes, so that even if they don't know any chivalry, they will do it," Gawain said casually, "Cecil Combat Corps It is a very special army, they want to protect this land, protect the people on the land, and the people must fully support them, only in this way can we gain a firm foothold in this dangerous wasteland frontier."

Knight Byron sighed: "Ordinary aristocratic private soldiers are mostly rogues and soldiers, even if they are civilians, but as long as they wear the emblem of the nobles and have swords in their hands, they will blackmail the civilians without mercy. , because the nobles only need these private soldiers to protect their castles... Occasionally, some noble nobles with rich chivalrous spirit pay attention to the discipline of the army, and they will strictly demand their soldiers, but only strict requirements, It's the first time I've seen a lot of rules and regulations like you to constrain soldiers."

"Individual morality dies with the demise of the individual,

Only perfect systems and regulations can ensure that discipline is still effective after the rotation of personnel," Gao Wen smiled, "Of course, even if there are perfect systems and regulations, there is no eternal kingdom or order in the world, but at least there are institutional constraints. Groups will survive longer than those that fall apart as soon as the leader dies. "

"Will the morality of the individual die out with the demise of the individual..." Knight Philip showed an expression of admiration, but he couldn't help frowning after hearing Gawain's second half sentence, "You mean, even if With these perfect system constraints you have formulated, Cecil will one day... will follow in the footsteps of those who perished?"

"If future generations don't know how to cherish it," Gao Wen spread his hands, "No matter how good the foundation is, there will always be that day."

Knight Philip's face turned straight: "You don't have to be so pessimistic, you..."

Gawain waved his hand before waiting for the other party to finish speaking: "Don't say nonsense like 'your great cause will be eternal', it's all to fool fools and dead people, I don't expect this - when I was buried back then Someone carved a 'great achievement for eternity' on the head of the grave, and when I opened my eyes again, the grave was dug up - and I stopped believing that kind of compliment from that day on."

Knight Philip was stunned for a moment, unable to speak for a while, while Knight Byron next to him patted Philip's shoulder vigorously, his ribs almost breaking from laughing: "Let you talk nonsense with experienced people. "

Gawain glanced at Byron, who had no knightly demeanor: "Don't laugh - let you design a new type of melee weapon that matches Cecil's combat style and magic technology, do you have any eyes?"

Due to the emergence of the "rebellious" fortress, the relics in the mountains are undergoing large-scale cleaning and restoration. Gao Wen wants to restore the middle area of ​​the relics and use it as Cecil's "ancient technology research center" and the second industrial base. Considering that Knight Byron had organized explorations in the ruins since before the winter, and now he has achieved such remarkable results, Gawain gave him a few days off, allowing him to return to the surface to bask in the sun, and to return to Home to accompany Pea-but in line with the principle of making the best use of people, Gawain also gave Byron a relatively easy task by the way, that is, let him think about what his soldiers need, so as to design the plug Melee Combatant's melee weapon improvements.

Originally, he just asked casually, and he didn't expect that this usual mercenary knight would have any results so quickly, but he didn't expect Byron to immediately show a smug smile: "You're right, I really have it. some ideas!"

"Oh?" Gao Wen was a little surprised, "Let's hear it."

"Wait a minute, I still have a drawing!" Byron said happily, "it's at home - not far from here, I'll come when I go!"

Byron was strong in action. After getting Gawain's permission, he drove sprinting and charging all the way and disappeared on the training ground, leaving Gawain and Philip looking at each other on the ground, and the knight Philip took a long while to say: "He is still Can you draw magic drawings?"

Byron's residence on Knight Street was very close to the military camp, and the professional knight's feet were fast, Gawain didn't wait long to see the knight running back in a hurry. Not a small roll of paper, it must be the drawing he said.

"That's it," Byron came to Gawain, and excitedly unfolded the blueprint, "This is what I pondered with a few rune craftsmen from the Machine Factory—you know, drawing blueprints. I'm not very good at..."

Gawain nodded clearly, and at the same time his attention was already attracted by what was on the blueprint—it was indeed a design drawing of some kind of melee weapon, it was shaped like a sword, and it could be seen that it was just a Conceptual framework - the handle of the sword and the base of the blade can see the space reserved for runes and magic devices, but there is no exact structure there, and there are many functional requirements or ideas written next to the drawings. It's not over yet.

Byron also noticed the imperfections in the drawing, and he smiled: "The result has not been discussed yet, there are many things that are controversial."

Gawain had seen some of the things he was looking forward to from the design of the sword, and immediately said, "I'm not afraid of controversy, you can tell me what you think."

"That's right, you should know that I was a mercenary back then - the difference between a mercenary and a professional knight or soldier is that we don't have so many rules and regulations, and both weapons, equipment and combat methods are based on practicality. , The layman will think that our equipment is disorganized, but we know that every weapon and equipment exists because it is 'needed', and it has its own corresponding use environment and scene," Byron said very rarely. He took the initiative to mention his mercenary experience and began to talk about his own ideas, "So I was thinking - under what circumstances do our soldiers need to use melee weapons, and what are the battlefield environments that these melee weapons have to face? of?"

He paused, then continued: "Cecil Combatants already have heat ray guns - it is said that higher-level arcane missile catapults and electric lances are also in the design stage, and these things are more powerful than the other. , and if the soldiers use it in groups, they can even directly kill the middle-level mortals. These long-range attacks are enough for them to destroy most of the enemies, so they only use melee weapons for two reasons: first, their own long-range weapons The weapon cannot be used for some reason, such as it is broken, and secondly, the enemy has strong magic resistance or simply has the characteristics of 'flow arrow deflection'.

"The second situation is obviously the most important countermeasure.

"Soldiers do not lack magic attacks, but more powerful physical damage - I and the rune craftsmen ruled out the traditional solution of enchanting elements on the blade to increase magic damage, and instead found ways to increase The pure destructive power of the sword. The more common methods in this regard are physical enchantments such as sharpening, aggravation, and armor piercing, but these kinds of enchantments are either limited in improvement or cannot be converted into magic circles for the time being. So we didn't even consider...

"Finally, we have two plans, one is a 'mechanical sword' and the other is a 'melting sword'..."
