Douluo: The Adventures of King Skin

"Second, he rules according to the law."

——Agaton

There is a flat plain between Fiera and Larissa, but there are hills and mountains on the east and west sides. Just across the mountain from the Macedonians who attacked last night, in the upper valley of the Onchistas River, lies the Piedmont. Luo Shi's camp.

When he led the attacking troops back to the camp, it was still long before dawn. After arranging rest and first aid for the soldiers, Pyrrhus went back to the camp to catch up on his beauty sleep.

As a result, he had an uneasy sleep. The dream was full of vague violence, conflict, blood and fire, as if he had been staying in the enemy camp to continue fighting... When he woke up, he felt twice as tired physically and mentally.

It was not like Pyrrhus had never killed someone before.

Not only was Tagui killed by him, but when he was still in Epirus, out of the foresight of his future life, he took the initiative and often personally executed prisoners who had committed capital crimes.

But not all death row prisoners can be killed by him.

Even those who commit heinous crimes can probably be divided into two types of people.One type is indeed an anti-social element that is unforgivable from both subjective and objective perspectives. They know the consequences they will bear before taking action and may be called evil criminals; the other type is more simple-minded and animal-like. They also commit stupid things, and Pyrrhus calls such people ignorant criminals.

no way.

Whether he was a humble wage earner in peacetime in his previous life, or he was a pampered royal family in this life, his life experience did not turn him into a killing machine - although he did criticize his boss, Party A and products several times. The manager has murderous intent.

In short, he was unwilling to attack the soldiers who followed blindly.

If participating in a war of aggression and oppression is indeed a crime, then Tagui, who risked his life to confront him immediately, did not hesitate to fight in order to maintain his power and position. He is indeed an evil criminal, and Pyrrhus chopped him off. No psychological pressure.

What kind of people are those soldiers who left their homes and came to fight each other in a strange land just because of the orders of their lords, the pressure of life, or just to experience a little dignity in this world?

They are evil and ignorant.

They are like people who are unable to resist evil and actively choose to join in it.

Perhaps the heroes of troubled times in romance novels who shout "The sword will not kill the nameless ghosts" are actually just unwilling to stain their hands with the blood of these pitiful and hateful people.

It is a kind of hypocrisy to be unable to raise a sword against an unequal enemy, but it is also a helplessness that is unwilling to join in the misfortune when one has to surrender to fate.

Pyrrhus had the same idea before, so he would rather bear the blame of the soldiers than go into battle prematurely and kill those ignorant and evil people.

But things are different now.He has assumed the post of Tagus in Thessaly. He has the responsibility to fight against the invading enemies and to seek justice for the residents of Lamia who died tragically.

This is law and justice.

After a night of killing, Pyrrhus was mentally building himself up like this.

…………

…………

The losses caused to the enemy by the night attack cannot be estimated for the time being, but based on his own experience and the oral accounts of the soldiers, Pyrrhus roughly estimated that the number was at least 500.In comparison, the casualties on his side were really minimal.

Only a single number of people were killed or missing in battle, but there were hundreds of injured, but they were all brought back by their comrades.

During the commendation meeting, in addition to verbal commendations and actual increases in land share, Pyrrhus also announced a new system on the spot - personally tying a badge of honor on the team of 2000 people who participated in the attack and the volunteers who cooperated in the battle. The short red cloak dyed with blood - of course it was not really dyed with human blood.

What was originally a temporary measure to maintain the organization during a night attack has now become a special honor with commemorative significance.

The red cloak and the red military flag complement each other. In addition to the flattered volunteers, the light cavalry and light infantry, who were originally regarded as second-line fish, now look triumphant and brag to each other about how sexy they are. The bright color doesn’t suit our low-key temperament, so we have to dye it darker with human blood.

Others suggested that Pyrrhus could gradually increase the length of the cloak for those who had accumulated military exploits until it became a large cloak like the Spartans.

Pyrrhus readily agreed.

——It’s just that he didn’t know that many soldiers were already imitating him in growing long hair, which led to him being accused of plagiarism by the Spartans in the future.

Looking at the mixed expressions of disappointment and envy on the faces of those 'stubborn' heavy infantry and heavy cavalry - and the fact that they secretly took off the cloaks they were originally carrying - Pyrrhus really felt a kind of sincere joy. !

Let you show off!Make you disobedient!Let you talk back to me!

It is conceivable that with the gradual improvement of the military system, he will eventually train an elite soldier that can meet the standards in his mind.

They will be able to obey orders and prohibitions, have honor, courage, resilience, professionalism, and collective spirit, be able to perform high-risk tasks, perform low-necessity tasks, and achieve a high degree of discipline. Being able to outlast the enemy, insist on taking the initiative to fight when separated from the main force, insist on fighting behind enemy lines, and insist on working in vain...

The premise is that before that, he can't let the successor battlefield become too complicated...

In addition to beating the Youtiao troops, another gain from this battle was that the paper armor was recognized by the soldiers.

Paper armor is not entirely made of paper, but also has some layers of leather, linen strips, and metal frames. It is a composite armor.In fact, similar laminated linen armor already existed at this time, and Alexander was wearing this.

Although the effect against puncture attacks is very average, the bronze muscle breastplate's defense against punctures is also very average.In addition, paper armor really has many advantages. It is cheaper and lighter than copper armor, and it is tough, and repair and transformation are more casual.

As long as you get a little flour paste, if you feel that the strength is not safe or the fit is uncomfortable or not close to the body, you can add layer by layer at will.

If it is not too cumbersome, the existing bronze armor and bronze shield can also be strengthened in this way.

The most easily available paper in the military camp now, apart from the wrapping paper of instant military rations, is expired copies of the Bright Eyes Times.

Seeing that the soldiers' armor, shields, and saddles were all covered with newspapers with printed words, just like the mud walls in the countryside in his previous life, Pyrrhus felt a sense of confusion.

Then there is an unspoken rule. The more achievements you have in battle, the more red special editions can be pasted on the surface...

Then a new superstition emerged. Pasting each issue of newspapers collected in order is said to increase luck...
