Chapter 172 Suggestion, come true, battle formation
"Lord City Lord, are you... telling the truth?" Although he knew that such a question was not only rude, but could even be regarded as a kind of criminal offense, Saluman still asked unconsciously in his agitated mood.
, it can be seen that the word "fame and fortune" is extremely tempting even for unruly warriors.
"Sharuman, you can do whatever you want!" Upon hearing such words, Miguel on the side immediately said angrily. If he hadn't considered that he would be "charged" if he did it in front of Ms. Hanquan, the general would have already stepped forward and killed this subordinate.
Kicked to the ground.
"Please forgive me!" As if he was suddenly awakened by Miguel's angry rebuke, Shahruman immediately knelt down on one knee in front of the city lord, with a look of panic on his face.
"Haha, of course it's true." However, Ms. Hanquan was unusually tolerant of Saluman's "disrespect". She just smiled and waved to Miguel to signal that he shouldn't say anything: "If you really want to
You have to work hard to embroider your name on the clanging flag of the city defense army."
"Yes, sir!"
Shahruman lowered his head deeply and agreed loudly. Then, he suddenly turned the corner of his eye and glanced at Moriarty, who was not far away, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said to Ms. Hanquan: "Mr. City Lord
, I have a suggestion for the next exercise with the guard squadron."
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Ms. Hanquan looked at Saruman with a little surprise, while Miguel on the side also frowned slightly, as if he didn't know what his subordinates wanted to do. Obviously, the suggestion Saruman wanted to make was not a predetermined script.
"In order to enhance the authenticity and practicality of the upcoming exercise, I propose to replace the prop weapons and replace them with standard weapons." Shahruman said word by word.
"Standard weapons?"
Hearing this almost bold suggestion, Ms. Hanquan did not expect it. It seems that the two lottery prizes just now were so attractive to Shahruman that he did not hesitate to have a real fight with the guard squadron. Maybe Shahruman
It is because they are worried that the virtual props and weapons cannot fully exert the full combat power of their team, and at the same time, the final judgment of victory or defeat is not direct and clear enough. After all, there is still the president of Hockenheim sitting on the viewing platform, just in case this
The Grand Arcanist held different opinions on the determination of certain battle losses during the exercise. In the end, maybe "the victory that originally belonged to the city defense army will be turned into a draw." Of course, Shahruman simply did not care about the possibility of defeat.
Haven't considered it.
"Absurd! This exercise is just an internal exercise of Blue Crystal City. Do you regard the guard squadron as an enemy?" Just when everyone was stunned, Miguel suddenly took a step forward and retorted in a deep voice.
: "Besides, swords have no eyes. If you really hurt one of your own in a battle, wouldn't you make others laugh at you?"
"Indeed." Ms. Hanquan nodded, seeming to agree with Miguel's argument.
"General, the killing field is a life-and-death business. If you have been doing things like 'keeping everyone company', it would be much easier to go back and be a civilian." Shahruman stared at the floor.
He tried his best to argue with his superiors: "Besides, I also believe that the guard squadron will not become soft just because they took the real thing, right?"
"You!" For some reason, Miguel paused silently as if he didn't know how to refute his subordinates.
On the other hand, Cruyff, who remained silent all the time, looked at the kneeling Saruman, then at Miguel, and slightly tugged at the corner of his mouth. Then he immediately calmed down again.
"Moriarty, what do you think of Saruman's suggestion?" Mrs. Hanquan thought about it again and suddenly kicked the ball to the other party in the exercise.
"For the safety of Shahruman's team, I think it is better to use prop weapons." Moriarty took a step forward and bowed slightly.
"You...!" If he hadn't knelt in front of Mrs. Hanquan, Shahruman would have jumped up and slapped her immediately. It was obvious that Moriarty's words were too arrogant.
"Haha, you really have the fortitude of some soldiers." Mrs. Hanquan did not blame Moriarty for his arrogance. She smiled with approval, then looked at Figaro: "What do you think?"
"Moriarty is the commander of the guard squadron. He is fully responsible for it." Dean Figaro still had a calm expression, as if everything in front of him was just a boring drama.
"Since everyone agrees to switch to standard weapons, then..." Ms. Hanquan looked back and nodded.
"Sir, we must at least exclude the armor-breaking series, otherwise it would be too much." However, before the city lord could finish speaking, Miguel interrupted in a rare manner. Obviously, such restrictions are not suitable for those who own the Earth Studio and the armor-breaking series.
It is the most disadvantageous for Moriarty, who has the ultimate copyright of the A series.
"But as compensation, other magic props can still be used. In this way, the guard squadron should not be too disadvantaged." Immediately afterwards, Miguel added. However, this is obviously nonsense. At present, the guards
There are more than a dozen spellcasters in the squadron, including Moriarty, and the squadron leader himself is a genius alchemist, so the squadron will naturally be equipped with a considerable amount of magic equipment.
"You are right." Ms. Hanquan ignored the additional comments and immediately made a decision: "Then, you two go down and prepare accordingly. Remember, when you go all out during the exercise, you must also restrain yourself. Don't
Self-harm is too much.”
"Yes, Lord City Lord." Although Mrs. Hanquan's last words were obviously quite contradictory, at this point, Saruman and Moriarty had no choice but to take the next step. After saluting in unison, the two walked quickly.
He got off the viewing platform and returned to his team.
And looking at the figures gradually going away, everyone on the viewing platform also had their own expressions.
"What, practicing with standard weapons? Are the people above crazy?" When he heard the "superior spirit" conveyed by Moriarty, even as calm as White, he said angrily in a low voice: "Just for a magic ring and
One number requires two teams to kill each other!?"
"Is it a premeditated plan by the city lord's palace?" Clausewitz asked directly, his expression unchanged. Obviously, he had experienced various storms in his early years, and even had "internal conflicts" similar to the one in front of him. The old werewolf had long been trained.
He became calm and composed.
"It's not premeditated. However, Ms. Hanquan is suspected of adding fuel to the flames." Moriarty glanced sideways in the direction of the viewing platform and said in a deep voice: "Since the supreme commander of Azurite City does not stop this kind of internal fighting,
The only explanation is that she doesn't really want to see our squadron become a reliable guard force."
"Hmph, a politician who eats people without spitting out their bones!" Margaret curled her lips and said disdainfully.
"Then, we still have an hour, let's go down and get ready. Since Saluman's team wants to have some excitement, we might as well help each other and our city lord." Moriarty glanced at the officers and said coldly.
.
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
"Staff officer, there is still some time. Let's make some adjustments to the plan. We will refer to the information obtained from the magic sandbox and add the factors of standard weapons to see what details need to be modified." Then, Moriarty walked over.
Next to Clausewitz, he whispered.
"Okay, Your Excellency." The old werewolf smiled and nodded, seeming to be a little excited.
An hour passed, and the snowflakes falling in the sky became a little bigger.
In the white cold wind howling in the sky, the Guard Squadron and the Shahruman Brigade finally stood face to face on the wide exercise field. According to convention, the initial distance between the two teams is two hundred meters. At this distance, regardless of
Whether it is magic or crossbows, they have basically lost their lethality.
As the passionate war drums finally boomed, the exercise officially began. At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the two teams that were about to fight for real.
"Guard squadron! Everyone, form up!"
On the battlefield, the first thing that sounded was the loud and unusual roar of White, the deputy squadron leader of the guard squadron. Following this order, the eighty-three people who were originally in a column dispersed, and then gathered again in the blink of an eye. Without any gaze,
Within just a few seconds of recognition, the guard squadron had directly built a rectangular square formation more than ten meters square through a dazzling group movement.
In this square formation, directly in front are two rows of armored infantry arranged crosswise, a total of twenty people. These infantrymen hold a one-star sharp dagger in one hand, a square shield in the other, and are covered in solid iron armor, like a cast-iron fence.
Behind the infantry formation was a row of neatly positioned magic swordsmen. Gustav was slightly ahead of the rest of the gunfire squad, standing out slightly by half a body.
In the rear, Moriarty was alone. Behind him were Deputy Squadron Leader White and the dwarf warriors of the Warhammer Squadron. As for the remaining ten armored infantry, they served as the rearguard and reserve of the entire phalanx.
On both sides of the battle formation, ten wolf cavalry were concentrated respectively, guarding the two wings.
Looking from a distance, the phalanx of the guard squadron is like a small but imposing steel fortress, stretching across the pure white ice and snow. Although the battle has not actually started yet, there is a deep and solemn air of chilling.
Stops gathered together from this battle formation, leaving everyone onlookers moved.
As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the doorways. When they saw the guard squadron setting up such a strict formation so easily, both Shahruman opposite him and Miguel on the viewing platform couldn't help but jump a few times.
Faced with direct fighting on the battlefield, the key to victory is firstly the strength of the soldiers, and secondly strict military discipline and smooth command. But now it seems that although the guard squadron has only been established for a short period of time, the officers and soldiers have truly become an army. Moriarty is commanding
When you stand up, you can move it as easily as you can with your arms and fingers.
Seeing such a phalanx, even Cruyff couldn't help but secretly shout out in his heart. What's more, the nearly a thousand other Azure City defense troops were all amazed and hesitant.
Sure enough, the first appearance of the Guard Squadron has already stunned the audience. (You are welcome to come and your support is my biggest motivation.) rv
