Southern Training Center (4)

McBurney thought.

by any chance.

Roman Dmitry may be standing with him because he doesn't know the system of the Southern Training Center.

That could cause problems later, so McBurney approached Roman and asked.

"Roman. The Southern Training Center does not force training for 'nobles'. If you don't want to train, you can watch the training in the shade just like everyone else."

Sometimes there are people like that.

People who think they need training, wait in the scorching sun, and raise their family members about whether they are discriminatory against the appearance of other nobles.

McBurney looked tired of such rubbish.

Viscount Bale Frank holds absolute power only in the Southern Training Center, but instructors like McBurney could not even speak nonsense to the trainees.

Only the pattern is the general instructor.

McBurney had no authority.

said Roman.

"Are you talking about them?"

Roman's gaze turned to the shade.

They seemed to be busy talking to each other rather than having a conversation here.

McBurney nodded.

For him, it was a moment that somehow made him feel ashamed.

By the way.

"I will be trained."

Roman did not go to the shadows even though he knew the truth.

The nobles of the southern training camp.

I knew what they were thinking.

After all, war on the Southern Front doesn't happen often, and the commander thought that he only had to give orders to the soldiers.

Isn't war what soldiers do?

The 'common sense' they know is the life of a commander who watches the battlefield from a distance, but those who have actually experienced war had a different idea.

looking at McBurney.

Roman said his thoughts bluntly.

"You are not wrong. On the battlefield, enemy attacks do not escape by covering their identity. Even nobles should receive basic training, of course, and they have a huge misconception that the commander who is in command right now will be safe. A war in the plains might be mostly safe. However, if you are being chased after being defeated in a war, or if you are attacked by the enemy who has returned from the rear. Nobles will not be able to come to their senses, let alone give proper orders, due to their weak physical strength."

Not only that.

War is not only fought on the plains.

Mountains, rivers, swamps, etc.

In order for a commander to do his job in various terrains, he had to have at least enough stamina to follow his soldiers.

And.

"I understood that training at the Southern Training Center was a process of grasping the strength of the soldiers and passing on the experiences of you guys who stayed in the South for a long time. So you don't have to make that face. I decided I needed training, so I was ready for any training, out of status."

finished talking

Now it's like we're going to start training.

As he stood still and watched McBurney, he felt his heart pound for a moment.

'Alas.'

Roman Dmitry.

McBurney fell in love with the man in front of him.

* * *

Did you say that people risk their lives for those who know them?

even the day before.

McBurney's enthusiasm fell to the ground.

My skepticism as a training instructor was great, but after hearing Roman's words, I felt like my pride was rising again.

'You have a perfect grasp of my intentions.'

It was the first time.

A person who thinks the same as himself as a nobleman and says that he will faithfully pursue his training.

It wasn't just a fussy thought.

McBurney, who has been rolling on the battlefield for a long time, has an eye to see if the opponent is real or not just by looking at the eyes of a person, and Roman's calm eyes are not from those who do not know war.

really long time ago

enthusiasm has been revived.

I thought it would be helpful to someone like Roman, so I wanted to provide the best education I've ever had.

'I was going to conduct training with a moderate compromise, just like any other day. But not from now on. I'll give you the most difficult training. Even if disaster strikes on the southern front, so that you have the minimum physical strength and military knowledge. I will do the best I can.'

that one decision.

The gates of hell have been opened.

Week 1 training.

It's a physical training period.

Originally, the body was warmed up with a simple canter, but from the beginning, maneuver training was carried out to climb a mountain with an army uniform.

"The purpose of this training is not simply to improve physical strength. Wars that suddenly break out do not know when and where they will occur, and sometimes you have to climb mountains with heavy military uniforms. We plan to not only train our stamina through this exercise, but also learn how to move quickly in the mountains. Once every day in the future. Regardless of the weather, we will be riding in the mountains."

bump

Hundreds of soldiers.

They ran down the mountain with their faces turned white.

Just climbing up a steep mountain is worth dying for, but I kept getting dizzy when I was carrying the military commander.

Mountain training was just the beginning.

The soldiers, who had completely exhausted their stamina from the morning, simply filled their stomachs and immediately gathered at the training ground.

"This training is basic fitness training. War is a battle of mental strength that will never end. In order to fight to the end without losing your mind from sunrise to sunset, you must constantly test your limits in strength training. From now on, we will proceed with infinite slashing training without limiting the number. A warning in advance, but do not give up. Those who give up will proceed with extended training even by limiting their sleep time."

Ah.

"Fuck."

all over the training ground.

profanity came out

Normal soldiers could not refuse the instructor's orders, and the reality they faced was harsh.

McBurney's warning was not in vain.

Soldiers fall in the scorching sun.

Some are bubbly and shivering.

He trained without blinking an eye.

'On the battlefield, we have to accept a more brutal situation as a daily life.'

The Southern Front is no exception.

As much as he was moved by Roman's words, McBurney wanted to share what he had seen and learned on the Western Front.

"Wow."

"Hey, please, let's take a break."

dying soldiers.

they are conscripts

Soldiers who had not received proper military training could not afford the training that drove them to the extreme.

If the.

Training would have been stopped if most had a similar reaction.

But I couldn't.

Roman's army.

They were carrying out their training perfectly from start to finish, led by Roman.

hook!

swung his sword

An action that has already been repeated hundreds of times.

Her skin was red from the sun, and her body was drenched in sweat, but Roman did not stop training.

without using mana.

Roman was completely immersed in physical training.

People looked at him as if they couldn't understand Roman's appearance.

Even if I rested in the shade like everyone else, no one would say anything, but I went to training with the soldiers from start to finish.

'Just like refining a sword before fighting, it is necessary to strengthen the solidarity between me and the soldiers.'

Cheonma Baek Jung-hyuk.

He didn't rise to the top from the beginning.

I started from the bottom up, so I knew what emotions and thoughts those receiving orders had.

Complaints sprouted from the really trivial things.

As today, soldiers are training to death in the scorching sun, but what would you think if a commander was flirting and chatting in the shade? Of course, there is bound to be resentment.

This does not mean that it will lead to extreme results such as an immediate revolt, but the weight of the order becomes lighter than before.

if.

Suppose there is a commander who is training together and a commander who does not.

What kind of commander will the soldiers be faithful to?

It is a difference that cannot be overlooked.

We have no choice but to follow the orders of the commander who suffered with them more than the commander who only talks with his mouth, and it is not uncommon for the outcome of war to be reversed due to such a difference.

This is not to say that you should always roll around on the floor together.

At least until complete trust is established.

And if it was judged that the action had a sufficient effect on the war, there was no reason for the commander not to move directly to win.

It was a complex reason.

train yourself

To strengthen solidarity with the soldiers.

Baek Joong-hyuk did not avoid times like today.

Seeing Baek Jung-hyeok raising his voice for the soldiers at the forefront, the magicians blindly followed him.

Moorim conquest.

It was not done solely by individual force.

The solidarity between Baek Joong-hyeok and Magyo, built from the ground up, destroyed the huge mountain of Jungwon Moorim at once.

"Whoop, whoop."

"Wow."

Roman soldiers.

They looked like they were going to die right away.

Like other soldiers, I had the urge to give up every once in a while, but I couldn't because of Roman's appearance.

Their commanders work so hard.

How the hell did the soldiers give up?

Soldiers of other nobles collapsed in the vicinity.

They secretly rested on the floor, gasping for breath, but Roman's soldiers were not cunning.

that day.

until the end of training.

In the end, not a single Roman's soldiers were left behind.

* * *

The first day of training was over.

The time when the day got dark.

After training, the soldiers came out to the moonlit creek and simply washed themselves.

shoot it

"Hey, I think I'm going to live now."

"It was a lie to say that training at the Southern Training Center was satisfactory. There was no mention of rolling like this from day one."

grumbled soldiers.

Fortunately, Roman's soldiers still had life on their faces.

Was it because he didn't like it?

Another nobleman who was washing himself nearby said with a dissatisfied expression on his face.

"Why do you only think of your position? Thinking of other people, you might not be able to do it in moderation."

throughout the training.

They could not openly demand rest because of Roman soldiers.

Even McBurney wouldn't push hard if everyone couldn't handle the training, but there were beings who trained perfectly from start to finish, so there was no leeway.

Panting on the floor, he didn't know how much he hated Roman's soldiers.

Their strong stamina must have been perfected over many years, but the position of the soldiers who were forced to take them to the Southern Training Center was completely different.

for that reason.

Seeing Roman's soldiers in good condition, I got annoyed.

Just as we met at the creek, the soldiers of other nobles raised their voices as if to listen.

"Unlike you, we are soldiers selected for conscription. The training period is short, how the hell can you withstand the same high intensity training as you guys? If we had had enough time, we could have done the same as you guys."

That was then.

at that word.

One of Roman's soldiers came forward and said:

"I'm saying this because I'm curious after hearing it. How much training are you giving us enough training time?"

The soldier's appearance was menacing.

A soldier who takes off his jacket to wash himself.

His body reflected in the moonlight was like a sculpture.

It must have been that he had trained his body for a long time, and the sharply cracked muscles were to the point of admiring the same man.

A soldier of another nobleman who was surprised.

I was a bit pressed down by the opponent's momentum, but I still had to say something.

"We only had one year of training. It's different from you guys who have been professionally trained for years. So, take it easy That way Instructor McBurney also lowers the intensity of his training."

1 year.

It was not a short period.

Roman's soldier laughed.

Hearing that he had been training for a year ago, the other person's words sounded like a fool's errand.

Was it because I remembered the past?

As a Roman soldier, he could not speak well.

"Don't make excuses for not having time. We didn't even have a year like you guys. It's been less than half a year since we first started training with one organization. No, to be precise, the training period would barely exceed three months. But you didn't have time to prepare? Don't get me wrong. You had plenty of time, but you just didn't do your best during that time.

soldier's body.

He was successful in the enlistment recruitment.

An ordinary soldier who trembled in fear while taking the test.

His name is right.

It was Henderson from Lawrence.
