One day we will start to go to the front, and we will train you on the way because of the tension at the front. You don't have much time to train, and careful training will increase your chances of survival.
We will distribute your equipment to you tomorrow. "You don't have much time to rest, cherish it well!" He left the tent.
Loki looked around the room at his comrades. All of them were young men, and Loki was the youngest. Loki didn't know either of them and found a place to put the package.
Then a man said, "Billy, do you know what the Vanguard Camp does? It sounds impressive. We might have found the right place. "
The one called Billy answered, "Yes, we will definitely get very impressive equipment, haha. They might even be cavalry soldiers. The Fierce Tiger Army was also very famous in the empire. We are all civilians, and the stronger the legions, the greater the chances of us winning titles of nobility. Work hard! But don't lose your head. The Feral Tiger Army has a lot of wars and casualties, so they have also recruited a lot of people. "
The man who first spoke said, "Are you afraid of death? If he was afraid of death, he wouldn't come. At home we might starve to death or be killed by the nobility. Can we earn a soldier's salary at home? "Since I can't change into a noble, I can take the military salary and go home to buy land and lead a good life. Besides, the taxes on retired soldiers are also reduced."
Loki listened to their conversation and put them in the same world as himself. They were the ones who belonged to the same world as him. Roche asked Billy curiously, "How many years before you can retire?"
Billy looked at the youngest recruit and explained with a smile, "You're still a kid. Is life not easy? No parent would be willing to be a soldier with a child this young. Retiring as a soldier didn't depend on a few years, but on military merits. If you had enough military merits, you could choose to retreat or not. If you have enough military merits, they will notify you. If you want to leave, you can apply. If he was promoted or rewarded, his military merits would be deducted accordingly. Every time he killed an enemy, or participated in a big battle, or had an obvious effect on the war, he would get military merits. The more military merits you have, the more money you get from retirement. "
"Oh!" "Thank you for your explanation." Loki retracted his gaze and started to pack his backpack. He saw the purse that Carter had given him and opened it out of curiosity. There weren't any copper or silver coins inside. It was gold coins, no less than 10 gold coins. More than his father's pension, and he could live for ten years with Rocky.
Loki looked out the window and said to himself, "Big brother, thank you." However, he did not plan to spend it, so returning it was impossible. He knew that this was not a lot for his big brother, so there was no need to reject his friendship for him.
Send it to Lois, Roach decided. Luo Qi was always disappointed that he couldn't see his sister again. How was she? It was better to write a letter to Lois and Fei Ya, at least let them know where they would be able to find him if they were in the army or if there was anything they could do.
On the second day, Loki and the others received their own equipment, a light helmet and an iron shield. This light helmet was not a full-body helmet, it was only covering the important parts of his body. It was a very thin iron armor. There was also an attack from a single-handed, inferior metal sword. Even these were not new. There were many holes on the metal sword and many marks left by arrows on the armor. However, all of them had been repaired. Only the shield could be considered steel, but it was also better repaired.
Luo Qi didn't care much about this. It didn't matter to him whether he was powerful or not. However, he was very curious. The vanguard camp was like this. Loki put on his own equipment under the complaints of his comrades.
In the morning, a group of recruits assembled early and formed a square with their battalions as their units. It was an unknown who was the Empire's official and general who gave the speech before the expedition.
Loki didn't listen. Loki felt shocked. There were so many people. He seemed so small inside. He couldn't even feel it when he was inside the tent yesterday. Lodge was in the first row, the vanguard, but it didn't seem to have the power.
Because Loki felt that they had the worst equipment in the army that he could see. Loki was confused. Apart from shields, their equipment was not even comparable to archers. Before long, the army set off with the music of the court band, forming a long snake that could not be seen from the end. Head? There was no way Loki could not see him from the top of his head.
They marched during the day, training from evening to night. A centurion shouted to the new recruits from the vanguard camp, "Lower your head, lower your head, raise your shield high, my god, do you have a third head on the right side that's bigger than the others? Why do you keep exposing your pig head? Alright, that's enough. Remember, this is your next position when you get closer to the enemy. Alright, we'll stop here for today. Tomorrow, we'll teach everyone how to form a shield wall to protect the troops behind us. Your mission on the battlefield is to deliver all your elite troops to the enemy. "
Loki finally understood what the vanguard camp was for. It was for attracting arrows. It was used as a bow and arrow to wear down the enemy's army, protecting those important armies and elite troops from too great a loss.
Obviously, the casualties among the vanguards were the highest in the war, but the advantage was that the military merits they accumulated were very high in every war. Their military merits could only be used as a bonus after retirement. Such an army promotion was impossible. In other words, besides being transferred away, there was no hope for them to be promoted to nobility. Sir, I'm applying for a transfer. " a recruit protested.
The Centurion glared at the recruit and said, "This is an army. Since you have come here, you must obey the order. It's not impossible for you to be transferred. Use your military merits to exchange for it. Like me, this is the battalion I stayed in. It's fine with us. We don't have status or high level martial skills, so our starting points are all the same. And your dinner is canceled tonight. You're not allowed to talk in the queue without an order. Next time, please remember it. "
So Roche followed the troops to the front. To Loki, training consumed more mental energy than physical strength. All he needed to do was remember the password and move about. The consumption of his stamina was negligible. There were a lot of people living in tents now, too, and they had already replenished their tents with the veterans' camps.
Luo Qi didn't expect to be on the battlefield on the second day. It was so foggy that Luo Qi couldn't see clearly from the first row. He could only move forward and not see the enemy. After advancing about five hundred meters, he saw a huge black mass of troops on the opposite side.
Only their battalion had no officers, only couriers. The messenger gave them the order to move on. Only when they were 100 meters away from their unit did the main force begin to press in. Arrows rained down from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, more than 20 of his comrades had fallen. This was war.
Loki and his teammates were ordered to keep going. Commands, wails, and the clatter of horses' hooves rang out. Loki had already left more than ten arrows on his shield. Loki looked at his comrade who had been together with him for a few days.
Loki's blood was boiling, and his anger was rising. Loki didn't want to see the sadness his dead comrades brought him. He closed his eyes and rushed forward, using his ears to feel the arrows, and in a moment he was in front of the enemy.
What Loki didn't know was that the vanguard battalion had been given the order to stop charging, because the vanguard mission had been completed. Loki kept rushing forward, and Billy yelled at him, "Come back, Loki."
What Billy didn't know was that Lodge was fighting by the air of sound and feeling. The voice behind him had already been ignored. When the sword was broken, he would snatch it away from the enemy. He had already lost his shield, which was a burden to him. He relied entirely on dodging attacks.
The third leader of the Fierce Tiger Corps wore armor that was almost airtight as he watched the battle from a high vantage point. The Third Company Leader let out a long breath and said to the Captain beside him, "It looks like there is no need for the other troops to attack. This is the front line that the enemy is visiting. This battle will soon be over."
The Captain was a very young woman, and it was impossible to tell what she looked like. She was clad in the same armor as the Captain. Although she was only a thousand-man commander, she commanded the most important two battalions of the three regiments, a 5,000-man Iron-armored Cavalry Battalion and a 7000 man Heavy Armor Infantry Battalion.
She did not reply to the Guild Leader, but merely gazed at the battlefield with a look of shock on her face. The regimental commander followed her gaze and saw a vanguard battalion of soldiers (judging from their armor) charging with cavalry. Who is he? Which battalion was the vanguard from? What a talent! The Captain thought.
Seeing this monster, the Light Cavalry soldiers all tore open a gap in the enemy's squadron and unconsciously followed him in battle. The cavalry soldiers were not even able to keep up with him because he was fighting too fast.
The enemy commanders also noticed Loki. All of the strong warrior power in his army (6 Bronze-rank warriors, only the enemy commanders) activated their warrior power. They didn't hesitate to kill this monster as soon as they were ordered.
But the enemy general said something that disappointed them: "Let's go, we are just visiting. I can confirm that there is only one regiment ahead of us, not just one legion. "We'll wait for the main force to come up before we destroy them."
Loki sensed the retreat of the enemy. He stopped and opened his eyes. A burst of venting calmed him down. He looked around. He did not recognize anyone around him, but the soldiers beside him were all staring at him.
Loki didn't seem to like their stares, and when he opened his eyes, the bodies on the floor made him feel sick to his stomach. He threw away the sword in his hand (someone had packed it up anyway, so he had to hand it over, and the rest of the good sword would go to trash) and walked back to his vanguard camp.
At this time, a light cavalry soldier came up, "Brother, ride on my horse, I will escort you back." "There was sincerity on his face, as if he would feel proud if he sat with Rocky on his horse." "How many camps are there in the forward camp?" "First Battalion, Fourth Squad." Loki did not refuse the Knight's invitation. He could not stand the smell of blood on the battlefield and wanted to leave as soon as possible.
When he returned to the station, Luo Qi was already puking all over the place along the way. Just as he was about to rest, an army courier handed him two letters.
Roche opened the first letter. It was from Sophia, who said that she had sent a letter to him from her family (which was not yet in Landers), and that she had sent a letter to Roche. She said that she was interested in military life, and perhaps she wanted to hear the story, which was what Roche thought.
The second letter was from her sister, and there were not many words in it: "Brother, I hate you. I hate you for abandoning us at home. We don't need to send money home. We can also live a good life without your money. " Carter paid his family in advance for one year, Lou.
