Chapter 436: Troop Training (Part 1)

The Knights of Michael have a total of 6 strongholds in the north.

Avalon Fortress is just one of the strongholds of the Michael Knights.

In addition to Avalon Fortress, the Michael Knights also have 5 military bases in the north.

Avalon Fortress plus these 5 military bases - these are the 6 strongholds of the Michael Knights in the north.

These six strongholds are scattered throughout the northern border, and the Michael Knights are usually stationed in these six strongholds.

Since the northern defense operation in 288, the central government has concentrated the remaining 70,000 people of the Michael Knights in Avalon Fortress. The remaining five military bases have only retained a very small number of people to be responsible for garrisoning and Guard.

In the past two years or so, these five military bases have been in a semi-abandoned state.

And now, with the arrival of new recruits from the Knights of Michael, these five military bases have regained their original vitality...

…

…

January 10, 291 AD of the Britannia Empire.

Britannia Empire, Northern Territory, Michael Knights Military Base No. 1.

Darlene, on the evening of yesterday, that is, the evening of January 9th, accompanied by thousands of young girls who passed the selection and became recruits of the Michael Knights, brought their own luggage with them. , and stationed at the No. 1 military base of the Michael Knights together, and officially began to receive recruit training.

All the recruits were scattered in various tents. This tent will be their dormitory for a long time in the future. Each tent can accommodate 10 people.

Because when everyone arrived at Military Base No. 1 on foot yesterday evening, all the recruits were already exhausted, even Darlene, who had always been in good physical condition.

Therefore, last night, the exhausted recruits did not have the energy to say hello to their comrades who slept in the same tent with them. After everyone got to their beds, they immediately fell asleep, sleeping like a dead pig.

On the second day after arriving at Base No. 1, before dawn, the instructors in the base woke them up.

Darlene, who was born in a rural area, couldn't believe that someone could do such a thing when he woke someone up before the chickens even woke up.

And the instructors in the base did it.

The continuous sound of trumpets spread into the tent and into everyone's ears.

The horn was so loud that if someone could sleep soundly despite such noise, then Darlene really wanted to get to know such a monster.

——It’s so noisy...Are the instructors sick...

Darlene, who was awakened by the sound of the horn, rubbed her eyes while silently complaining in her mind that her brain seemed a little abnormal and the instructors woke them up before dawn.

At this moment, a tall woman with neatly combed hair and a short ponytail wearing a set of black armor lifted the curtain of the tent where Darlene was, stuck her head in, and rushed in. Darlene and others got off the bed and shouted:

"Everyone, get up! Come out quickly!!"

Darlene and others were startled by the roar of the woman dressed as an instructor. They immediately jumped off the bed awkwardly, and then hurriedly put on clothes.

One girl was so panicked that she rushed outside the tent without even putting on her pants. As a result, she tripped over her pants and fell to the cold, hard ground.

…

Ten minutes later, Darlene, who was dressed, stood tall and short with the other recruits, preparing to start the first day of training after joining the army.

At this time, the sky was still dark and the sun had not yet risen from the horizon.

The female instructor who had just lifted the curtain of Darlene's tent and urged them to come out quickly was standing in front of everyone.

Although it was still dark, Darlene could still clearly see the appearance of the female instructor thanks to the torches placed everywhere.

The age of this female instructor,

He looked about 30 to 35 years old, with fine wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and mouth. He woke up before dawn, but he was unusually energetic and energetic, with bright eyes.

She is very tall. According to Darlene's estimation, this female instructor is about 1.75 meters tall. She has broad shoulders and a gloomy expression. She looks like she is unhappy with these new recruits.

Unlike Darlene and others who are not yet qualified to wear armor and are still wearing civilian clothes, this female instructor wears a set of black armor. Both the combat boots on her feet and the arm armor on her arms have been carefully wiped. It's so bright it feels like it could be used as a mirror.

In addition to the armor on her body, the female instructor also had a sword hanging on her left waist and a leather whip in her hand.

"Attention, everyone!" the female instructor roared, "Stand at attention! Recruits of the 1st Squadron, 17th Group, 4th Army of the Michael Knights! Welcome to the Michael Knights!"

"I am Captain Hundred, Lindsay, and I am also the captain of the 1st Squadron of the 17th Battalion of the 4th Army of the Knights of Michael! I am also the commander and instructor of your No. 100 people!"

"When you talk to me in the future, you must salute first and say 'sir'. Not only do you salute me and say 'sir', you also need to salute all the instructors who hold this pointer and call them 'sir'." '.

After saying that, Lindsay waved the pointer in her hand so that everyone could see clearly what a pointer was.

"Not only that, there are very likely to be several knights appearing in the base from time to time! Once you see the knights, remember to salute and say hello to the knights! If you are sentenced to 'disrespect to the knights' because you do not salute and say hello to the knights, If you are guilty, I can't save you!"

"Remember! Anyone with a colorful sword hanging on his waist and wearing colorful armor is a knight!"

"Now, the first thing I want to teach you is to teach you how to perform the military salute of our Britannia Empire!"

"We in the Britannia Empire have many kinds of military salutes, but most of them are rarely or no longer used by us!"

"There is only one kind of military salute popular in our Britannia Empire! You just need to learn this one military salute!"

After saying that, Lindsay hung the whip on her right hand back to her waist, and then stood up straighter.

The left hand is placed behind the back, the right hand is clenched into a fist, the right arm is slanted on the chest, and the fist hole of the right fist is attached to the left chest.

"Look! This is the military salute of our Britannia Empire! Even a monkey can learn it! Remember to stick the back of your left hand tightly to your waist!"

"Next, I will walk in front of you one by one, and you will give me a military salute and say hello to me!"

After saying that, Lindsay strode to the upper left corner of this small square formation composed of 100 people.

Located in the upper left corner of this hundred-person square formation is a tall, thin young man.

Seeing Lindsay striding towards him, the boy swallowed hard due to nervousness, and then imitated the military salute that Lindsay had just done, and gave Lindsay a military salute.

"Hello, sir!"

"Wrong! Boy! Didn't I just say that?! The back of your left hand should be tightly attached to your waist! Do you know where the waist is?! You are attached to your butt!!"

"Ming, understand!"

Lindsay walked up to the next person.

The next person was a petite little girl.

"Hello, sir!"

"Wrong!" Lindsay looked at the girl as if she were looking at a disgusting insect. "Your right arm is slanted on your chest! It's not horizontal on your chest! And the fist hole is attached. It's on the left chest! Why are your fists pointed at me?!"

…

"Left chest! Left chest! Boy! Can you tell the difference between left and right?! Your fist hole is stuck to the right chest!"

…

"How many times have I told you! The right arm is slanted! It's slanted!! It's slanted on the chest! It's not horizontal on the chest! Sir, am I speaking Britannia or Hiran?! Since I heard Why do you still make mistakes when you understand Britannia!"

…

Lindsay walked up to each recruit one after another, helping the recruits practice how to salute and say hello to the generals, and correct their ridiculously wrong postures and movements.

Soon, Lindsay came to Darlene.

At this time, Darlene was frightened to death by the very fierce Lindsay.

Although when she left her hometown, the elders in the village told her that the officers in the army were very cruel, Darlene did not expect that they would be so cruel.

Looking at Lindsay who was getting closer and closer to her, Darlene felt cold sweat breaking out on her forehead.

Although she kept praying in her heart, begging Lindsay not to come over, it seemed that the gods did not listen to Darlene's prayers.

Lindsay finally walked up to Darlene.

"It's your turn! Kid!!"

Lindsay's roar came from above Darlene's head.

Looking at Lindsay who was a head taller than her, Darlene, who was extremely nervous, swallowed hard and then saluted to Lindsay.

"Hello, sir...um!"

Before Darlene could utter the last syllable of "Hello, sir", she was picked up by Lindsay.

Lindsay grabbed Darlene's collar with one hand and lifted Darlene up from the ground like a chicken.

This was the first time Darlene experienced the feeling of being lifted up from the ground by someone else, with her feet dangling in the air.

Because her collar was pulled by Lindsay, Darlene now felt a little breathless.

"Your military salute is completely wrong... brat..." Lindsay's already gloomy face became even more gloomy. "You are the person who made the most outrageous military salute I have ever seen. Why is your right hand behind your back?" The one with his left hand clenched into a fist and placed on his right chest?"

Lindsay exuded a very terrifying aura.

"Yes, I'm sorry." Darlene was so frightened by Lindsay that her eyes gradually filled with tears, and she stammered in explanation, "I, I'm too nervous..."

"Hmph! Never again, kid."

After saying that, Lindsay let go of Darlene's collar.

Under the influence of gravity, Darlene fell from the air and fell onto the cold, hard ground.

Darlene, who was strangled uncomfortably by Lindsay, fell to the ground and began to cough loudly.

Lindsay did not look at Darlene again, but walked to the next recruit to review the military salute of the next recruit.

——I want to go home...

Darlene said to herself while wiping the tears from her eyes.

Darlene began to regret it.

Regret that he had joined the army of the Britannia Empire and joined the Knights of Michael.
