"Boss, I've heard about Sergeant Fitney." Belklin approached Claude mysteriously.
Claude is playing the battle flag game with Aboyev, Diavid and Murieled. This is a card game similar to Army Chess in the previous life. Two pairs of players work together to defeat the enemy. The winning side is military chess. It is a very popular game among soldiers to kill time in the military camp.
"Oh, tell me, who is he?" Claude moved his wolf chess piece and ate the centaur scout sent by Muriel. However, Aboyev, who sat down in his hand position, immediately moved his Elf Archer chess pieces, forming a surrounding situation for Claude's Wolf Warriors. Claude's opponent, Diaverde's griffin, was being entangled by Muriel's Pegasus, and was temporarily unable to form an effective defensive cooperation with Claude. It seemed that Claude was beyond reach. The Wolf Warrior chess piece is about to be sacrificed again.
The Battle Flag game is said to be handed down from the ancient magic civilization era. Players can choose different races to fight on the board. There are four races in total, humans, elves, beasts and demons. Each race has twelve chess pieces, representing different arms of each race. The most popular are the elves and humans, which are the races chosen most by gamers.
It's just that the battle flag game that Claude is playing now only has a complete set of human chess pieces, and Diavid has taken the lead. Both Aboyev and Murield chose the elves, so Claude had no choice but to choose the orcs. Who asked him to throw the dice and get the smallest number of points, so he could only choose the race at the end. Because they were not very familiar with the range of attack power of the Orc troops, they were losing ground on the chessboard. It looked like they were going to lose this game again.
"Boss, King Beamon of the Orc tribe is the slowest to climb. If you choose the Orc tribe, you are simply giving food to the Elf tribe. The Phoenix of the Elf tribe can kill King Behemoth just by breathing fire. You must know that the fire-breathing one is The attack range is exactly two spaces larger than King Behemoth's claw attack. Both Bofu and Merde chose elves, two phoenixes. When your King Behemoth crawls to the side of the phoenix and can attack, according to the rules of the game Flag of War It’s already cooked.”
Belklin was not in a hurry to tell the news he had learned. Instead, he stood aside and talked about Claude's mistake in choosing the race in the game. According to him, the races in the Battle Flag game restrain each other. For example, the humans restrain the elves, the elves restrain the orcs, the orcs restrain the demons, and the demons restrain the humans. As a senior Zhanqi game player, he has been playing the game since he was twelve years old, and there is no game strategy that can stump him.
"Forget it, I give up." Claude threw the chess pieces back into the chess box. He had just started to learn to play and was not very experienced yet. To play a game, you have to keep reading the game rules and instructions next to it. This game is also very troublesome to learn.
Legend has it that in the ancient magic civilization era, those magicians who played this battle flag game used magic power to input into the chess pieces, and these chess pieces would automatically attack enemies within the effective range. Unlike now, which requires several pages of game rules explanations for people to understand. Your own chess piece has been attacked by the enemy.
Just like King Behemoth of the Orcs, he has the thickest health among all race bosses and the most powerful attack. The setting is 40,000 health and an attack of 30,000, but the speed is the slowest. He has to move square by square, and the attack range is only nearby. of one grid.
The phoenix of the elves has a minimum health of only 10,000, its fire-breathing distance is two blocks away, and its power is only 10,000. Like King Behemoth, as long as he gets close to the phoenix, he can catch it to death. But the problem is that if he gets close to the phoenix, he has to endure two fire-breathing attacks, losing half of his health. Two phoenixes have 40,000 health. Belklin was right. According to the rules of the Battle Flag game, King Behemoth walked up to Phoenix and was roasted. This was like having barbecue delivered to his door.
As soon as Claude admitted defeat, his opponent Diavid was unable to defeat the four-handed opponent with two fists. Even if the human race restrained the elves, it would only be a one-on-one situation, and they had to be careful to avoid being overturned. Now, of the two elven clans, Diavid was unable to survive alone and soon surrendered.
It wasn't until the entire War Flag game was played that Belklin remembered what he had learned: "By the way, boss, that Sergeant Fitney is a powerful person."
"What a powerful method?" Claude asked.
"He is a master of fighting. When he was young, he was very famous in his hometown, Clinders City, Chaniyalar County. When he was 21 years old, he was forced to join the army. During the recruit training, he defeated all the opponents in the battalion. . He has a bold and generous personality, and is admired by recruits. The veterans you sent to the treatment center all joined the army in the same period as him. It is said that he and he were camped in the same tent during the recruit training, and they have a very good relationship. .
Sergeant Fitney had a bad temper when he first joined the army, and he was as explosive as gunpowder. Therefore, he would fight and cause trouble every now and then in the military camp, and he would be imprisoned and whipped every now and then. He was the most famous figure in the military camp who gave all the officers a headache. It took three years before he was finally promoted to corporal. However, when suppressing the riots of Conigada City residents two years ago, he defeated five or six mobs with his bare hands and rescued Captain Kantaya of the Logistics Department who was purchasing supplies in the city, so he was promoted to sergeant.
After becoming a sergeant, under the care of Captain Kantaya, he began to calm down and stopped making trouble, and his temper became much better. He did not take part in many things, but let his brothers, veterans like Jim, take part. Hidden behind the scenes. Because of his change, the officers in the military camp were surprised. They thought he was a prodigal son, so they promoted him to the rank of sergeant last year and caught up with this period of non-commissioned officer training. After the training, he became Master Chief. "
After finishing the information he had obtained about Sergeant Fitney, Belklin thought for a moment and then said: "Boss, the veteran who told me this information said that Fitney is by no means a prodigal son turning back, but has become sinister. To be cunning, Fitney was behind most of the bad things Jem and his veterans did in the military camp to bully and extort new recruits.
This time you sent Jem and other veterans to the treatment center, which made Fitney very embarrassed. Many people in the military camp were laughing at him because he couldn't even protect his own little brother. That's why this Fitney said in the cafeteria that he wanted to look good to you. Many people heard what he said at that time. You should be careful in the future and don't be plotted by this Fitney."
Claude smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood and would be careful in the future. However, Sergeant Fitney is currently participating in non-commissioned officer training, and he is participating in recruit training. As long as they don't bump into each other in public places such as the cafeteria and bathhouse, it will be difficult for the two of them to meet within two or three months. Besides, during this period of time, Sergeant Fitney would definitely not provoke him before the training was over, unless he didn't want to become a master sergeant.
"Boss, why don't we strike first and find out his whereabouts, then find an opportunity to ambush him, cover his eyes with plaster, put a sack over his head, use sticks to break his two feet and cripple him If he wants to retire and go home, then we won't have to worry about his revenge in the military camp." Aboyev came up with a bad idea that he thought was good.
Claude smiled and shook his head.
Belklin directly gave Aboyev a slap on the head: "Don't be stupid, you think we are fighting with those country rats on the outskirts of the royal capital, and we still have lime sacks. This is a military camp. Where can I find a place for you?" Ambush. Besides, that Fitney is a master of fighting, not the rogue gangsters we fought against before. When we ambush him, we will beat him at his door, and after the beating, we will still have to be punished."
"Okay, everyone just needs to be aware of this. Now he is undergoing sergeant training, and we are also conducting recruit training. There is not so much time and opportunity for him to provoke me, so just be careful." Claude said Conclusion.
The recruit training continues. The first month is basic training, which mainly consists of walking in queues. What confused Claude was that there was no military band accompaniment. The marching rhythm of the queue basically relied on the copper whistles held in the mouths of the instructors and followed the rhythm of the whistles.
Claude remembered watching a foreign movie in his previous life, which told the story of a war between Britain and France on the American continent during the colonial period. It also belongs to the war mode of queuing to kill, but the soldiers in the movie seem to use flintlock guns instead of matchlocks. In the film, the British red-shirted troops stride forward in rows and rows, and there is a military band playing lively music next to them. It seems that the song is still famous.
In his spare time, Claude took an opportunity to ask Second Lieutenant Most why there was no military band in the military camp. After all, the cheerful rhythm of music used in training is more beautiful than those sharp whistles, and it is not easy for the soldiers. nervous.
Second Lieutenant Most was stunned for a moment, then laughed. He told Claude that military bands did exist in the earliest wars, but they were eliminated in subsequent wars because military bands were not practical.
Claude was puzzled by the lack of practicality.
Second Lieutenant Most then taught Claude a lesson. First of all, it is not easy to train military band personnel. Those who can play instruments and read music scores are considered high-level talents in this world. It is very wasteful to send them to the battlefield. pity.
Secondly, although the military band is a soldier, it does not play a big role on the battlefield and has no harm to the enemy. How many military bands are needed on a large battlefield where tens of thousands of people are fighting? If this organization were replaced by combatants, there would be a brigade of combatants. Sometimes victory only requires the deployment of an additional brigade of combatants. If it were replaced by a military band, it would be completely powerless and would be of no benefit to the battle.
Third, the current battlefield is filled with roaring artillery fire and thunderous gunshots. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for the soldiers to hear the music played by the military band clearly. It is better to use a sharp whistle to keep the soldiers clear-headed. Therefore, the establishment of military bands has basically been abolished in the army.
Of course, the most important point is that there was a war between the two kingdoms more than a hundred years ago, and the victorious side captured a military band deployed by the other side's army. So the victorious king asked the captured military band to play music to celebrate at the venue where the armistice agreement was signed. This slap in the face made the defeated king unable to step down on the spot. The first thing he did after returning home was to cancel Military bands of all configurations in the army.
No one wants to let their military band celebrate the enemy. This is one of the main reasons why the current army does not have a military band. It costs a lot, the establishment is large, there is no combat effectiveness, and there is the possibility of being humiliated by the enemy. So, do you think it is necessary to have a military band? Second Lieutenant Most finally asked Claude this way.
The second month of the recruit training was to get familiar with the muskets in their hands. As the field aces of the Blue Feather Legion, all the muskets issued were the Obash Type II standard matchlock guns that Claude was familiar with.
"It's a pity that this is no longer the latest matchlock gun," Second Lieutenant Most said: "My friend sent me a letter from the royal capital, and the Obash type three has been released. The Musket Research Institute has released a few months ago Although the range of the Obash Type III standard matchlock gun is the same as that of the Type II, it has made great changes in shooting accuracy and aiming. It is said that it is more convenient for soldiers to master aiming and precise shooting methods. This is a breakthrough development. "
Second Lieutenant Most said this while standing next to Claude, because Claude had just won the first place in shooting and stood out from more than 400 recruits. Regardless of the firing speed, shooting accuracy, and the speed of loading gunpowder, they are far more than other recruits. According to the instructors, Claude's shooting results are no less than those of the best veterans.
When the last month of training for new recruits began, Claude realized that the training in the first two months was too easy compared to it. This month's training content is also about walking in line, but holding a musket, listening to the instructor's whistle command, loading the gun, and raising the gun body according to the instructions to fire a salvo to achieve the maximum damage within the maximum range.
After just over a week, two musket misfires and three accidental shooting accidents occurred among the recruits. He was so angry that Second Lieutenant Most gathered all the recruits and cursed on the playground for more than half an hour in the sun. The only good thing is that no one died in these accidents, and only four injured were sent to the treatment center. After examination, Dr. Perrent thought that there was nothing serious, and that they would all recover in two or three months.
