Chapter 502 Gaiden: Eternal Dragon Rider Eternal Dragon Rider 9

Exercise refers to actual combat.

If what was on paper worked, Reinhard felt that he should be a marshal.

What he wants is war, real war!

In a valley in the west of Longhui Province, the target of the exercise was a group of ice barbarians who ruled the mountains as kings.

The ice barbarians have a similar appearance to humans, but their blood is mostly a mixture of orcs and warcraft.

With a mouth full of sharp teeth, long pointed ears, and sharp claws on their hands and feet, these ice barbarians are quite cruel and like to eat raw meat. The human race and residents of other races in this area are often attacked by the ice barbarians.

Reinhard's purpose is to bring his army to wipe out this place, and also to let himself see what war is like.

There are approximately more than ten thousand icefield barbarians, and they all live in caves in the valleys. The caves extend in all directions.

Although the weapons of the ice barbarians were very crude and they all held crude axes, the rugged mountains made it impossible for the Royal Knights to capture them for a while.

Due to the lack of cooperation between the army's new recruits and veterans, the battle went very poorly, and many local ruffians and exiled prisoners also lacked sufficient discipline.

Reinhard stood on a higher hill, watching his army fighting with the ice barbarians hiding in caves.

I was thinking in my heart that although all the members of the Royal Knights have not drank dragon blood, there is still enough room for improvement in their overall combat effectiveness.

Now if the cooperation is proper, there will not be much problem in taking down the less than 10,000 ice barbarians. However, it is a pity that the cooperation of each team is not satisfactory and there is a lack of coordination within the team.

Some recruits looked young and strong, but when they encountered the stubborn resistance of the ice barbarians, they seemed a little timid.

Mobik also saw this situation and said to his leader Reinhardt, "Sir, you don't have to worry. Let them adjust themselves at this time. Some timid people and people with poor fighting ability want to be here." It's not easy to survive a battle, but for those who can stand to the end, hey, I don't think anyone wants to come back sideways."

Reinhard naturally believed in the words of this iron-blooded general.

Sure enough, those timid guys who hid behind the team and did not dare to step forward had their necks bitten off by the ice barbarians who came out of the cave behind. They were instantly swarmed by several other ice barbarians and were just like that. After being pulled into the cave, a large amount of bright red blood flowed out of the cave entrance soon. It seemed that the man had been torn to pieces and eaten by the ice barbarians.

When the other teammates saw this, in addition to fear and panic, their legs were shaking so much that they did not step forward to rescue those comrades who were dragged into the cave by the ice barbarians.

The battle is still going on in chaos.

Due to their numerical and logistical advantages, the Royal Knights finally wiped out the ice barbarians one day later.

However, nearly 5,000 people were lost in the process, and even more were injured. Almost all the soldiers were injured, except the archer brigade.

Except for the outstanding teams of Goode and Martial in this battle, the cavalry was of no use at all, and the new and old veterans of the infantry did not cooperate.

But Mobik is right. Although everyone cooperated poorly at the beginning, as the battle progressed, the soldiers themselves were also thinking, and each captain was constantly changing the team's deployment. In the end, those who could survive would Almost all of them were rescued from the ice barbarians by their teammates.

Unity is a powerful force.

Mobik's theory is correct. Sometimes fighting does not rely on the marshal's words, but a kind of self-awareness cultivation in life and death. Only by experiencing the profound lessons of iron and blood can soldiers gradually grow.

"Only those who are alive are qualified to enjoy the dragon's blood. Because courage and innocent strength improvement will only harm those who lack courage. Now, the remaining people are qualified and have the right to enjoy this all of a sudden. It’s a dream to become a beginner or even an intermediate knight!”

The warriors didn't have many expectations for Reinhardt.

The war in which more than half of them were killed or injured has made them tired.

But there were still discordant sounds coming out.

"Sir, it's too cruel of you to do this. You have sacrificed the lives of so many brothers. Is this just for this?"

The others were battle-hardened and they all stared at Reinhardt.

It was an elf talking.

Reinhard grabbed the elf by the collar, then looked around and cursed loudly, "Is the sacrifice of the brothers your fault or my fault? Let me tell you, if they don't sacrifice today, I will say What are you saying? Do you understand? Huh!"

After speaking, he shook his hand and the elf fell to the ground. Reinhardt continued,

"Do you think it's not a pity that I sacrificed five thousand warriors in vain? Even if I have no feelings for them, each warrior costs at least 2 gold coins. This is a loss of nearly 10,000 gold coins, right? Besides, Do you have feelings for them? Didn’t you all refuse to save them at the beginning? Where was your compassion at that time? If you had reached out to help the comrades around you at that time, would half of them have died? "

The words were very direct and hit everyone's critical point at once.

Reinhard then added, "Well, do you understand now? My waist hurts even when I stand at a high place! My heart hurts even more!"

Indeed, the sacrifice of his teammates was entirely due to his own cowardice...

"I only say that those who can stand here at this moment are all my good soldiers. But do you think I am ruthless? Hey, Gude, Martial, come out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Goode and Martial ran out of the team, their bodies covered in blood.

Reinhardt said to the soldiers, "These two are my good brothers, Reinhardt. Didn't they just fight side by side with you? Then why did the team they led have the fewest casualties and wipe out the most enemies?"

There was total silence.

Reinhardt's approach was barbaric, but the truth was right.

And what soldiers want is to be convinced.

Now, no one is unconvinced.

"Let's not talk nonsense. Tonight, you will eat large pieces of meat and drink from large bowls. Well, wine mixed with dragon's blood..."

Late at night, Reinhard was waiting for the dawn of the next day. The soldiers had already drank the dragon's blood, and even Mobik did not shy away.

Reinhardt was a little nervous. The danger of dragon blood was there, but...if not, how could he use it to fight against Warcraft, or what would be more dangerous in the future.

After a long time, Mobik was the first to walk out of the military camp.

With his face flushed, Mobik's excitement didn't need to be guessed by Reinhardt, he succeeded.

"Master Captain!"

Mobik knelt down on one knee and saluted Reinhard. At this moment, he was extremely excited.

The barrier of the mid-level knight finally broke through, and now he feels great!
