Chapter 33 Training

Chapter 33 Training

The high military pay of the standing army attracted a large number of civilians to sign up, but the strict selection criteria turned many people away.

After a week-long screening and recruitment, the three hundred recruits who were lucky enough to pass the screening finally met the person they wanted to be loyal to in the military camp - Count Idar, Bruno Stuart.

Bruno looked at these energetic recruits and couldn't help but smile knowingly. These were all teams he created with his own hands!

"Soldiers, starting from today, you will become a member of the First Battalion of the Idar Standing Army!" Bruno officially announced.

"I believe that many of you were attracted by the military salary I offered. Here, I promise each of you that I will never owe any of you a penny of military salary, and all military salary will be paid on time.

!”

"Each of you recruits here can receive a military salary of one gold coin and a living allowance of thirty copper plates immediately after today's training, and the other two gold coins will be issued after one year of service.

"

Being paid as soon as they joined the army made the soldiers who were a little nervous at first feel at ease. Such a high military salary... can be said to be the only one in the entire Norman Empire that Scorpion Baba gets!

"But, everyone... my lordship's military salary is not so easy to get! After today's training is over, those who want to quit will still have the opportunity to quit, but if they want to quit after today's training, or

If you say you are a deserter, then you will be punished as a deserter, and your whole family will be treated as serfs!"

"So, now...does anyone want to quit?"

For deserters, Bruno's punishment can be said to be cruel, because he will never allow such a thing to happen to this army that he has high hopes for after officially serving!

Because this is related to the safety of the entire Idar Territory!

The punishment Bruno mentioned undoubtedly shocked the hearts of the recruits present. However, these poor and frightened civilians had never suffered anything, so they only had a slight fear in their hearts, but no one proposed to quit.

After all, although they cannot be said to be one of a hundred men, they were selected from thousands of people. They finally got their wish and became recruits of the standing army. They will never give up easily!

Bruno looked around and saw that no one raised any objections, so he smiled and said: "Since no one quits... then, let's start training now."

"Sam, start training according to the training methods given to you." After Bruno said that, he got on his horse and left with Liszt and a few personal servants.

Because he had already handed over the planned military training method to Sam before, he felt relieved.

And now, he has to hurry back to the lord's castle, because the blacksmith of Idar brought the long-awaited iron pot this morning!

Bruno couldn't wait to return to the castle and taste cooking. The days of eating white bread and boiled vegetables all day were simply unbearable for Bruno.



In the military camp.

Sam looked at the new recruits present with some sympathy.

He had already read in detail the military training methods that Bruno had given him. To be honest, he did not agree with the Earl's military training methods.

After all... in Sam's impression, Bruno had never fought in a war.

But such an aristocratic gentleman who had never been exposed to military affairs and war took it for granted and wrote a "Drill Manual for the Idar Standing Army". No matter from which point of view, this is a rather strange thing.

What's more, the content in the manual was an eye-opener for Sam, which he had never heard of before.

However, as a military attaché of the Idar Territory, Sam could only succumb to Bruno's "obscene" power...

"Now, let's move on to the first part of the training - stand in a military stance!" Sam shouted at the top of his voice.

The new recruits present looked at each other, what the hell is that military posture?

Even for newcomers who have never joined the army, in their impression, soldiers' training should be to practice stabbing, cutting, blocking and other events.

"No whispering!" Sam glared at the recruits who were whispering, "If you want to talk, you must shout 'report'!"

Seeing that the soldiers quieted down, Sam continued: "Stand your legs together... Come on, do as I say! Let your hands hang down naturally, your heels close together, and your feet 60 degrees apart... You!"

Don't make small moves!" Sam pointed out the mistakes of a certain soldier from time to time as he walked.

"Look straight ahead with your eyes, don't shake your head!"

"Lean forward! Keep your hands close to the seams of your pants!"

"Report!" A new recruit suddenly shouted as he learned how to use it effectively.

"explain!"

"What's the seam?"

Sam was stunned for a moment and said: "Anyway, put your hands tightly on both sides of your thighs!"

Standing in military posture is a very simple subject, but standing in military posture for a long time will test one's patience.

According to Bruno's schedule, the whole morning should be spent standing in military posture. Seeing that the soldiers were standing motionless, Sam, who was a little curious, also stood in military posture according to the requirements in the manual.

But...just ten minutes later, he felt that his legs began to feel a little sore and his feet were slightly numb.

It was only then that Sam realized the horror of the "Idar Standing Army Drill Manual", but... As an instructor of this army, since he risked his own life and stood up in front of the soldiers, he could not be ahead of the soldiers.

Have a rest...

This was painful for Sam. He only felt that his hands and feet were getting more and more sore, and his whole body was exhausted. Although it was winter, his back was gradually sweating...

Just as Bruno expected, Sam was originally a fool who couldn't stand loneliness. It was even more uncomfortable to have him stand motionless with the new recruits than to kill him with a knife.

Finally... I don't know how long it took, one of the recruits in the queue couldn't hold on and passed out.

Sam then took the opportunity to announce that he would rest where he was.

As soon as he finished speaking, almost all the recruits sat on the ground at once, cursing in their hearts who the hell came up with this training method. They were so exhausted from standing in the military posture.

Sam quickly ordered someone to carry the fainted recruit to the camp, and then he had time to carefully read the "Idar Standing Army Drill Manual".

My master... is truly an unparalleled military genius!

Looking through the manual again, Sam noticed that there was a line of small words at the bottom of the military posture column - it is recommended that the initial training should not exceed thirty minutes, and the duration of subsequent training can be adjusted according to the actual situation...
