Chapter 92 Team Reorganization
"In this way, our mission is over, right?" Cat's Claw said regretfully as he cleaned up the debris from the campfire in the square, "I really don't want to go back to work in the mine. Seriously, I Now I kind of miss the Moon of Demons."
"Yeah, I don't want to deal with those rocks either," Yupi replied, "The most important thing is that the salary difference is too much. Where is there a job like the artillery team, where there is meat every day, and every day Monthly salary of 15 silver wolves."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Fan Na, who was holding a torch to illuminate the light, said angrily, "This time, His Royal Highness distributed more food, so no one died of starvation. Think about the past two years, the old district Half of the people here didn’t make it through the winter! Do you still miss it? Besides, the team will not be disbanded. His Highness recruited us into the artillery team and burned so much gunpowder just to make a sound?”
"But the evil beast is gone, what does His Highness need the artillery team for?" Rodney asked while leaning on a broom.
The artillery team is not prepared for evil beasts either. Faner thought for a while, but he still didn't say it. "Anyway, we'll know the answer tomorrow." He yawned and waved his hand impatiently, "Clean up here quickly. Clean it up, I want to go back to sleep early."
In the early morning of the next day, the assembly calls resounding through the camp confirmed Faner's statement.
After everyone had gathered, Iron Ax stood in front of the queue and said loudly: "You have completed the first stage task - defending Border Town from evil beasts. After three months and six days of fighting, you have obtained His Highness’s approval! The next militia team will be reorganized into His Highness’s regular army. If anyone is unwilling to continue fighting, they can stand up now. His Highness said that those who leave the militia team at this moment will be given full salary and an additional 25 coins Silver Wolf as..." He thought about His Highness's words, "Well, retirement fee."
None of the three hundred people moved, only Cat's Claw raised his hand and said, "Report."
This is also one of the weird rules His Royal Highness made during the training. The team members are not allowed to whisper in private, and they must first call for a report when they have something to ask.
Iron Ax nodded, "Say."
"What does the regular army mean? Does it mean that we can be made knights?"
Fan Na couldn't help but burst out laughing, but he quickly returned to a serious face.
knight? That can be regarded as aristocratic, not only owning property and followers, but also enfeoffing land. It's really embarrassing for the Artillery to ask such a question.
"No," Iron Ax patiently explained, apparently he had also asked His Highness about this, "The regular army is an army dedicated to combat, and only fights to protect His Highness and His territory. In other words, when workers dig in the mine, You are training, when the farmers are harvesting the wheat, you are training, and when the merchants are selling their goods, you are still training. All training is for victory in future battles, just like what you did during the Moon of Demons."
"How is that different from the militia?" Catpaw asked again.
"More frequent training, stricter rules, and better rewards."
"Report!" It was Rodney this time. After Iron Ax nodded, he couldn't wait to ask, "What is the more generous reward?"
Fan Na sighed, why are all the boys in his group so impetuous? Although he also wants to know the answer to this question.
"The regular army will implement the officer system. Those who complete combat tasks according to the designated plan in battle, or have outstanding performance, can be promoted to officers." Iron Ax said loudly, "For example, stand in my position."
Is this what His Highness said... Fan Na thought to himself, if it is really implemented, isn't it encouraging everyone to commit crimes? He looked around quietly, but everyone seemed to be unaware of this problem, and they were still listening with gusto.
"Officers get better pay, and... their own land."
The last sentence caused a burst of cheers from the team, and Faner was no exception. He even wondered if he had heard it wrong. If you can get land, what is the difference between that and a knight?
"But remember, once you choose to become a regular army, the system you have to abide by will be completely different from that of the militia. For example, failure to complete tasks, desertion, mutiny and other violations of discipline will be severely punished. This is not to eat an egg Questions, punishments include hard labor, imprisonment, and even hanging. The positions and rewards obtained will also be taken back." Iron Ax paused, "It's too late to quit now."
There was silence in the crowd. After the iron ax was silent for dozens of breaths, no one moved. He couldn't help grinning and said: "Very good, then from today onwards, you will be a regular army directly under His Royal Highness Roland Wimbledon!"
Fan Na himself found it inconceivable, if he had heard of those terrible punishments three months ago, he would have run away long ago. What's the use of being promoted, what's the use of the land, it's better to keep one's life. But now, he chose to stay where he is almost without hesitation. Compared with returning to the north slope mine to crush stones, or staying in the old area and wandering around with nothing to do, Faner felt that he was more suitable here.
"Good observation, what's your name?"
"Mr. Vanner, work hard."
Thinking of His Highness's encouragement, he reconfirmed his thoughts - he belongs to the militia, and will continue to fight for His Highness as a member of the regular army in the future.
...
Iron Ax quickly announced the first training of the day: field training.
At the beginning, Faner felt that he didn't think so, and this kind of training, running, was rarely interrupted even during the month of demons. After breakfast, depending on the weather conditions, you have to run around the town twice, unless there is heavy snowfall. According to His Highness, this is good for the movement of the muscles and bones, so that when defending the city wall, the hands and feet will not be stiff and unable to stab the spear.
But when the team ran out of Border Town, he immediately felt the difference between the two.
At this time, the snow in the field is far from melting. It has been snowing intermittently for three months and now it can reach knees. It is better to crawl in the snow than to run. The team suddenly became sparse, and it took a lot of effort to pull it out.
There is no doubt that this kind of training that is dedicated to tossing people must be the idea of His Highness the Prince. Fan Na has already figured out His Highness's thoughts. At this time, the protest is basically ineffective, and the only thing that can be done is to persevere to the end.
It took the whole morning to go back and forth. When the team returned to the small town, Faner only felt that the two legs were not his own anymore.
The snow poured into the boots had turned into water. Even standing in the sun, most people were still shivering from the cold. The huge physical exertion exacerbated the chill, and even Iron Ax felt a bit overwhelmed. He announced the disbandment of the team, and postponed the start of lunch for half an hour, asking everyone to change out their soaked shoes and trousers first.
To everyone's relief, the afternoon training was also cancelled.
Of course, none of them knew that Lightning had followed their training all the way—this was also the content of the little girl's daily training: precise control of magic power to fly at a constant speed. When she reported the observed information to Roland, the latter almost couldn't laugh or cry.
The total mileage traveled by the team throughout the morning: four kilometers.
