After setting up camp, building walls, and digging fortifications, Rhodes had firmly established himself as the leader of this group of Norscans after defeating the challengers. At the same time, a series of military training for them also began to gradually unfold.
In a real battlefield, the situation changes rapidly. A qualified soldier needs to master multiple skills. Norscans have extremely strong survivability in the wild, especially in the forest, but the battlefield is not necessarily a forest, it may be flat land.
Hills, mountains, lakeside, etc. In order to deal with different terrains and different enemies, Rhodes requires them to master comprehensive skills.
Setting up camp seems very simple, but in fact it is very complicated. It must take into account the terrain, the distance of water sources, whether it is suitable for defensive posts, etc. These are very important. Because most battles are actually small-scale.
There will also be large-scale legion battles, but not many. Because large-scale battles involving tens of thousands of people are often decisive. A big battle may determine the fate of a country. Usually, it has been prepared for a long time and all the savings have been made.
Power finally breaks out. Although such a battle makes people excited and soul-stirring, the reality is that such battles do not happen often. Of course, once it breaks out, it is very critical.
Rhodes trained them to form formations before to prepare for future large-scale battles. Of course, these formations are often used in small battles. After all, teamwork is always more important than individual combat. Unless you are a legendary level character,
If you can open Wushuang, that's another matter.
Even though there were complaints and dissatisfaction, under Rhodes's compulsion, the Norscan warriors still learned the skills of camping. In the past, when they camped in the wild, most of the time they slept directly on the ground.
You can spend the night by setting up a simple tent on the ground or in a tree and covering it with thatch. What Rhodes required was to build a wall before camping, then dig a trap, and finally erect the tent.
This is an extremely safe method. With these fortifications, you can sleep peacefully at night. Of course, among the many border lords, no lord will use this method. Because it is very troublesome to train, sometimes even the lord himself
I find it troublesome... It can be said that few people in the entire Kislev ask their soldiers like this. This kind of strict military training is only practiced in the central province of the empire. In other words, only the most elite regular army of the empire
Only then did he do this. And Rhodes insisted on this.
These Norscan warriors will become all-round soldiers. One day, their construction speed and construction skills will exceed that of the most skilled builders. Their fighting ability will also be the strongest in Kislev.
Big ones. After returning from the capital city of Kislev, Rhodes was deeply impressed by the Kreml guards of Bangada Palace. They wore black armor and held heavy axes and long shields, or held two-handed battle axes. Yes
The terrifying royal guards can fight one against ten. When she was under surveillance, Queen Catalina only sent two Kreml guards, which was enough to get a glimpse of their strength. And Rhodes wanted to kill these Norths.
The Ka people are trained to be such elite warriors.
To camp and build fortifications, Rhodes first asked them to choose a good location. The camp must be close to a water source and have trees and weeds that can provide firewood. The ground should be moderately soft and hard, so that it is easy to dig the foundation. Generally speaking, it is dug out on the ground first.
A shallow groove, and then the excavated soil is piled up to build a simple earth wall, and that groove can be used to lay traps, such as pouring spikes into the groove, or sharpened wood.
The piles were driven into the grooves, so that if a wild beast attacked, they would fall into the pit first. If there was any movement, the people in the camp could hear it. Moreover, because there was a wall blocking it, the soldiers had enough time to get up and rush to the pit.
Walls to block the enemy. In the forest-covered Kislev and Empire, this kind of camp is actually very important. Many troops and soldiers did not die in frontal battles, but in raids at night. Human vision at night is better than
Instead of catching wild beasts, this is undoubtedly the best way to remind people in their sleep that danger is coming.
Of course, this is the situation on flat land. If you encounter mountainous terrain, you also need to consider wind vents, slopes, escape routes and other factors. In hilly areas, try to camp on the top of the mountain if you cannot find a water source. This will give you a better overlook.
The surrounding ground should be discovered in advance before danger arrives. Of course, if there is a water source in the hills and valleys, both should be taken into consideration. The best solution is to build a protective belt to connect the low water source to the high camp. Of course,
, this is very troublesome. The workload will also be huge. Unless the regular army of the empire, other countries and races rarely see such operations.
Camp training is accompanied by formation exercises, and the two cooperate with each other to make the lives of the Norse warriors fully arranged. Others continue to go deep into the forest to hunt. They alternate cycles and continuously enhance various skills.
After the training, Rhodes came to Caroline's experimental field and paid attention to the cultivation of ice peppers. This can be said to be the main source of income for Black Hammer Castle in the future, and it is a project that Rhodes focuses on. As a scarce resource, ice
It is no joke that the price of pepper exceeds that of gold. As long as this thing is successfully cultivated, the financial income of Blackhammer Castle will increase a lot.
"They don't need nutrients, because their roots will automatically grow downward, looking for the frost energy deep in the soil. The land in this area is not bad. With such conditions, I am 80% sure that this thing can be planted successfully.
.Of course, it will grow better in the tundra."
Caroline introduced it swornly. She took Rhodes to visit the experimental garden. The entire experimental field was protected under an ice barrier like a sample. Under the action of the frost spell, those ice peppers were growing vigorously, with only a few
People knew about the plan, it was kept secret.
"What a peculiar breed."
Chief Knight Virgil said.
"Indeed, and this thing has a lifespan. As time goes by, it will grow bigger and bigger, and its roots will become bigger and bigger, even touching the ice soil. The bigger the ice pepper, the more valuable it is, because it
It absorbs a large amount of ice energy, making the medicine more powerful."
Caroline introduced her as a scholar, botanist, and ice pepper expert. This was unimaginable two months ago.
"Does it need watering?"
Muros asked curiously.
"It's needed, but not much, just a little bit. In fact, frost itself is water, it's just frozen. The ice pepper can absorb the water in its own way. And it doesn't really need sunlight." Carlo
Lin explained, picking off a leaf from the ice pepper tree. "Look, its leaves are white. They are not green like ordinary plants."
