Three days later, Gao Wen, who was reviewing documents in his study, was interrupted by a rhythmic knock on the door.
He raised his head, and at the same time, he already knew who the person standing at the door was by sensing the breath.
"Come in, Soldering."
The door of the study opened, and it was the high-ranking Ranger Mr. with a shiny golden wig who walked in.
"It seems that you are recovering well." Seeing Soldering's complexion, Gawain couldn't help but smiled and nodded. "Has the last bit of poison been removed?"
"It's been cleared up long ago, but the old druid always dragged me with the excuse of 'the poison of the cultists is weird and unpredictable, we need to observe and test more'," Soldering shrugged helplessly, " He gave me strange medicines every now and then, and drew blood seven or eight times—I always felt he was lying."
"Of course he's fooling you," Gao Wen said casually, "I've told you from the very beginning, be careful when dealing with Pittman, you will associate all the tricks and tricks you have encountered in your life with him. Not too much."
Solderling: "…"
Seeing the stunned look of the high-ranking ranger, Gao Wen couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, and quickly changed the subject to prevent the ranger from immersing himself in a state of doubting life for too long: "Let's not talk about him, let's talk about you—to the territory How are you adapting to life in Shanghai?"
Since returning from injury more than half a month ago, Solderling has been recuperating in Cecil's territory, but he has not been resting all the time. When his injuries healed and he could move without hindrance, he took part in military missions on the territory under Gao Wen's instruction. As a high-level ranger with rich combat experience, he was responsible for dealing with Sisi as a senior consultant and mountain warfare instructor. Seoul Combat Corps for training and guidance.
Although the appearance is a bit feminine, Soldering's strong personal strength and the legendary experience of following Gawain Cecil to expand the territory still made this "foreign ranger" a high reputation among soldiers, according to According to Knight Byron's report, the "Mr. Adviser" is doing quite well in the army.
But Gawain knew that such "idle" jobs as senior advisors and instructors were not what Solderin wanted. As an elf warrior, Solderin was still young and strong, so what he expected more should be specific. Military positions, and tasks that allow direct contact with the battlefield.
Just as Gao Wen expected, Solderling sighed helplessly: "I've adapted... It's not bad, this land is developing faster than I expected, but the people here are very energetic, soldiers I also like the atmosphere of fulfilling my duties. But you also know me, I can't be idle."
While talking, the high-ranking ranger moved his arm: "As you can see, I have completely recovered, and it is no problem to go to the battlefield, so I want to discuss with you, can you give me something other than a consultant?" Do things other than instructors?"
"If you want to fight, there is no war for you in the territory right now, at least for the time being." Gawain looked at Soldering and said unhurriedly, "but I guess that's not what you mean. You should You just want to find a job that can stretch your muscles and bones, and you won't have to stay in the barracks all day, right?"
Soldering smiled: "You still know me."
"In fact, I really arranged a mission for you," Gao Wen said directly, not politely, "You should have already contacted the soldiers on the current territory - the Cecil Combat Corps, including the ordinary infantry regiment and the newly formed artillery Troops, what's your impression of them?"
It has been more than a day or two for Soldering to observe the Cecil Combat Corps, and he immediately made his own evaluation: "The powerful frontal combat units, the heat energy ray gun and the melting sword can fight against any regular soldiers and low-level soldiers. A transcendent, the magic crystal rail cannon can destroy any city defense fortress, or confront a mid-level transcendent head-on. If the conditions are right, the salvo of those cannons is even a fatal threat to high-level powerhouses. But this is only limited to the frontal battlefield. "
"That's right, on the frontal battlefield, the combat corps can exert its greatest power when the two armies are facing each other." Gao Wen nodded, "We have equipped a powerful main force with magic weapons, but now I still lack Some... special arms."
Soldering raised his eyebrows slightly. He immediately thought of his occupation and what Gawain said just now, "I have arranged a mission for you", so he tentatively asked, "You mean... the ranger army?"
"It can be understood in this way," Gao Wen nodded, "with elite combat capabilities, able to adapt to unconventional battlefield environments, good at infiltration, detection, and survival, and can launch a fatal blow to the enemy's weak parts like a dagger when necessary. I need a team like this."
While talking, Gao Wen thought of the "special forces" he knew in his previous life. From a certain point of view, the two are somewhat similar.
It's just that in this world, due to the existence of extraordinary power, the gap between "special forces" and "ordinary forces" will be even greater.
Ranger troops are the elite combat arms unique to the Silver Empire, but there are similar special forces in all human countries. Some of them are also called "Ranger troops", such as the rangers in the southern Gaoling Kingdom and the western Ogule Tribal Kingdom. Some of them have their own names, such as Typhon's "Rogue Squad" and Ansu's "Royal Shadow Guard". These teams are elite combat forces cultivated by various countries.
Although each country has its own special forces, due to the vastness of the continent, the different combat environments, and the different traditions of each country, the fighting styles of these "elite fighters" are also different. For example, the rangers of the Gaoling Kingdom in the south are as good at Fighting in the mountains, the rangers of the Ogure tribal country in the west are good at stealth action, the rogues of Typhon are good at magic and assassination, and the royal shadow guards of Ansu are good at suddenly jumping out halfway through stealth and wielding a big sword with both hands to release a whirlwind cut…
They are all strong (sure).
"I thought the Military Intelligence Bureau you established was the 'Royal Shadow Guard' you trained for yourself," Soldering said curiously upon hearing Gawain's request, "I saw that you used the method of training the Royal Shadow Guard to develop them—at least part of the way."
"The Military Intelligence Bureau is a specialized intelligence department, and its operatives are better at infiltration than combat," Gao Wen explained, "What I need you to train is a combat force."
In Gao Wen's view, many military concepts in this world are in a relatively backward state. This is probably because the simple and crude extraordinary power is too effective, so people ignore the detailed technical issues in those wars-no country has an advanced The unique and systematic concept of "intelligence warfare", even the various special forces, is positioned from the perspective of "specially capable soldiers". The Royal Shadow Guards are assassins and fighters, but they are not professional spies or intelligence warfare agents. , That's why Gao Wen established the "Military Security Intelligence Bureau" to fill the vacancy in this area, but he has not yet cultivated real special forces.
After Gawain's simple explanation, Soldering understood the request of his old friend. He thought about the current Cecil combat soldiers and artillery regiment, and said with a half-smile: "You asked me to train , I am afraid it is not an ordinary 'ranger army'?"
"That's right, based on the current Cecil magic weapon and some new tactical ideas, what I want you to cultivate is not just a team that can fight more than ordinary troops, but a team that can cope with more complicated battlefield situations." Troop," Gao Wen said with a serious face, "for this reason, I can equip this troop with the most advanced weapons, allocate the most abundant resources, and even prepare special weapons and equipment for them, and they will also become all kinds of new The first batch of testers of weapons—you can also discuss with Nicholas Egg and study the equipment you need based on your own experience, and if the existing technology can achieve it, you can try it.”
"Is it an experimental force..." Soldering understood Gawain's intentions, and nodded slowly, "Indeed, the magic weapons you created are brand new things, every The popularization of all kinds of equipment can be regarded as experimental, and it is necessary to have such a special team to try various new weapons."
"You can select the best 100 students from the Cecil Combat Corps for initial training. I won't help you formulate the training manual. I think the standard training process for rangers in the Silver Empire is very good. According to that standard , if one-third of a hundred people can persist until the end, it is a success. In addition, I will let various departments cooperate with you, including the weapons factory and machinery factory in the 'Rebellious Fortress'. There will be a docking window for you , "Gao Wen said here, with a smile on his face, "The name of this team, let's call it 'Iron Rangers'."
"Steel Rangers..." Soldering chewed on this strange but majestic name, "Are they positioned as 'cavalry'?"
"Oh, it's not—I mostly think it's cool."
Solderling: "…"
After the high-level ranger left, Gao Wen breathed out lightly.
He knew that what he handed over to Soldering was a rather difficult task.
He just gave the opponent a broad goal and a bunch of preferential treatment conditions, but he didn't put forward any detailed and referenceable troop training and formation plans. The reason is very simple, that is, he himself doesn't know how such a troop should go. Training, how to set up.
Solderling can only rely on his own understanding and experience to build such a team.
An experimental troop based on the training process of the rangers of the Silver Empire, equipped with Cecil magic weapons... Gawain couldn't help but start to look forward to the final form of this troop, what will Soldering create for him? What kind of "Steel Rangers"
For some reason, Gao Wen was a little worried. He always felt that the final painting style of this team might be rather strange... But strange is strange. In this world, there are even stalkers who wield a two-handed sword and use whirlwind. Can there be anything more challenging people's three views
While he was thinking, someone knocked on the door of the study room again, and Gawain raised his head to respond, and saw Hetty pushed the door open and walked in.
The lady also holds a large sheet of paper that still smells like ink.
"Ancestor," Hetty said with a smile on his face, "the sample of the first Cecil Weekly is out."
