Chapter 298 Military Parade (thanks to 20192508 for the February ticket)

The soldiers in the audience are recruits recruited by Anduin in River Beach Town during these 8 days. There are a total of 70 male soldiers, 25 female soldiers, and 30 logistics troops. These logistics troops are also called "defense forces" .

Including the 9 Silver Hand recruits under Sean's command (11 in total, 2 of which are guarding the plantation), it can be regarded as an "army of a hundred men"!

Don't laugh yet!

In Hetan Town, it is not easy to gather a main battle force of 110 people. After all, Hetan Town only has 4500 people, and the military-to-civilian ratio has reached 1:40.

In many countries in the previous life, the military-to-civilian ratio was only about 1:20 even in the most difficult World War II, so it is already a very good achievement to recruit 110 main combat troops in the first batch.

As for why female soldiers are recruited, it is mainly because there are magic elements, grudges, and the power of faith in this world. Women can also cultivate to a very high level, and they are no longer weak and need to be protected.

So Sean allowed them to enter the army to learn how to control the three energies, and allowed them to go to the battlefield.

……

The soldiers in the audience stood in a crooked line because they had not been trained much.

But the morale of the soldiers is very high!

In the past few days, they not only received their first weekly salary, but their food treatment was also much better than expected, and they occasionally had meat.

So the soldiers in the audience looked very energetic and energetic.

Not long after, the first military parade in Hetan officially started!
Windsor commanded the soldiers to line up to salute, and everyone's eyes were on the rostrum.

On the rostrum, the butler Henry took a step forward, took out a thick stack of speech papers, and began to give the opening speech:
"In these days of recovery and bright spring, we ushered in the first military parade in River Beach Town"

Hearing this, Sean suddenly became a little impatient.He is still sleepy now, and he doesn't want to hear Henry talking about these unnutritious things.

So Sean raised his hand to cover Henry's speech, and said to the audience:
"I have a question to ask everyone, why do you want to be a soldier?"

The soldiers in the audience looked at each other in blank dismay, none of them dared to answer Sean.

Sean waited for a while and saw no one answered, so he smiled and said:
"Then let me tell you! You are either cultivators for a salary of 5 gold coins per month, or to learn to practice battle qi, magic, or the power of faith. Am I right?"

As soon as Sean finished speaking, the soldiers immediately responded enthusiastically to Sean:

"My lord, you are so right!"

"It's my dream to learn fighting qi! Be a great fighter!"

"You can't know the thoughts of others like Lord Anduin, can you?"

Sean continued:

"Now that everyone agrees, I will make a decision:
The basic exercises for practicing grudge, magic, and power of faith are all free to you!Those who are a little more advanced can be exchanged for military merit, what do you think? "

"Great! The day we've been waiting for is finally here!"

The soldiers in the audience began to cheer and cheer, and some even threw their military caps into the air.

After the voices of the soldiers dropped a little, Sean smiled and said:
"The benefits are available now, but the discipline must be clarified! In the future, in the army, the most important thing is to observe discipline and obey the command. If anyone violates discipline, he will be fired at the slightest, or go to a court-martial! Do you understand? "

"Understood." The soldiers replied one after another, their expressions becoming serious.

"Wendsor, come and read the discipline." Sean turned his head and looked to his side.

"Okay, my lord!"

Windsor gave a military salute to Sean, then took out a piece of paper from his cuff, and said loudly:

"These are the 'Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention' drafted by the Lord.

three disciplines
1. Follow orders in all actions;

2. Don’t take the people’s needles and threads;
3. Everything seized must be returned to the public.

Eight Notes
1. Speak kindly;

2. Fair trading;

3. Borrowed things must be returned;
4. Compensation is required for damaged items;
5. Do not hit or swear;
6. No damage to crops;
7. Not molesting women;
8. Do not mistreat captives.

The above is the whole content of military discipline.

After enlisting in the army, the first thing you have to do is to memorize all the above content proficiently, and then you can obtain the cultivation methods of grudge, magic, and power of faith. Do you understand? "

"Okay, General!" The soldiers replied in unison.

"Three major disciplines, eight points of attention" is the discipline formulated by the People's Army of the Flower Planters in the previous life.Sean had memorized it before and knew the entries inside, so he brazenly copied it.

After all, in another world, no one should pursue his copyright issue, right?

After the discipline was announced, the military parade began to enter the last and most important item-the display of new weapons.

Under the command of Windsor, the recruits of the Silver Hand picked up the "Mini Rifle" they had just equipped, and began to demonstrate the target.

In order to fully demonstrate the power of the musket, Windsor also deliberately used discarded iron armor as a target.

Flames spewed from the barrel of the gun, and bullets streaked across the sky, piercing through the thick armor with ease.

Just now ordinary soldiers were guessing what the steel pipes carried by the recruits of the Silver Hand were, but now they saw that musket bullets could penetrate the iron armor from a distance of [-] meters, and they were all surprised and speechless.

Piercing iron armor from a distance of [-] meters is something only archers above the black iron rank can do. I didn't expect that new weapons can do the same!
The soldiers showed fiery gazes one by one. After all, being equipped with muskets meant becoming a high-ranking black iron archer, and there was no faster improvement than this.

After demonstrating the musket, the next thing is to demonstrate the artillery.

White Bronzebeard ignited the cannon, and the shell accurately hit the target on Thorn Ridge 5 kilometers away, and the scene was even more astonishingly silent.

An attack at this distance is already beyond the range of a Bronze-rank magician, right?It's hard to imagine that His Royal Highness Xiao En possesses such a powerful weapon!
So even the soldiers who were not very confident in their cultivation talents became happy.

If you can equip new weapons in the future, your combat power will be much higher than that of the opposing army, and your survivability on the battlefield will also be greatly improved!
After participating in the military parade, Windsor continued to train soldiers, and Sean and Anduin walked side by side on their way back to the center of the town.

Sean said as he walked:
"Anduin, the Kingdom of Anjou may attack the Principality at any time, and war may come, but we should be fine in the short term.

But we also need to prepare in advance. During this period of time, you have to recruit some more soldiers, and try to reach 200 regular soldiers.There is also an auxiliary defense army in charge of logistics, which must reach at least 600 people!
There are also regular army weapons and equipment, so the dwarf blacksmiths can work harder to ensure the army's material supply. "

"Yes, my lord." Anduin replied.
