Chapter 331: After living in the castle for more than a month, the military training and development
Scouts only need to have excellent skills. To be honest, their strength is not small. At least their arms are very strong.
Kasheng's move to increase his strength is puzzling, especially since the increase in weight might affect his speed, and it is very likely that the scout would no longer have any agility advantage.
You know, as a branch of the hunter profession, scouts are like the best soldiers in the regular army, basically they are good at everything. Therefore, scouts are carefully selected from the infantry, and the selection process is extremely strict.
Grandpa Nick knows very well that scouts are not easy to train. The soldiers are in their current state because they are raised with top-quality supplies.
Three months of huge investment in nutritional conditioning transformed the soldiers, making subsequent training possible.
Therefore, before advancing, they would increase their strength training for fear that the increase in weight and strength would make the scout's material useless and lose their speed advantage.
After all, agility and speed are crucial for a scout to survive when he encounters a fellow scout.
"Jean Tocques! Don't worry, there are only five warriors who are about to be promoted who will be training in strength. Other subjects will not be abolished, and the food and drink are the diet formula of heavy knights. They only need to add two hours of strenuous exercise every day to control their weight, so the training will be more brutal. If a person's strength is increased, the muscle layout is reasonable and the weight is controlled, his agility and speed will only be greatly improved, so such talents deserve the glory of scouts. Those who succeed in strength training are worthy of continued training, and those who fail will be transferred to light infantry or heavy infantry, and their treatment will be greatly reduced in the future. We have done our best for these talents, and they were eliminated because they have no self-control. It is likely that they are weak-willed..." Kashin explained patiently.
"Captain Kashin, I understand. You are trying to divert talents during the peak period of the scout apprentices. You don't want the scouts to be of varying quality, right?" Jean Tocque said thoughtfully.
"Haha, a good scout can suppress an entire troop and make it unable to raise its head. He will always fight alone, so we don't need too many of them. Make sure they are the best of the best. We don't have enough soldiers to pick and choose. Among the 120 people, I only need one of them. The others will be divided according to their qualifications. Otherwise, your time is limited and you won't be able to concentrate on cultivating each of them carefully..." Kashin's eyes were firm and his tone was serious.
Jean Tocque: "In war, scouts are often responsible for key tasks such as obtaining intelligence and disrupting enemy deployments. Their actions require a high degree of flexibility and concealment. Once the speed advantage is lost, it may have an adverse impact on the entire combat plan. In the case of limited resources, concentrating efforts on training the best scouts can maximize combat effectiveness. Although this method of diversion may seem cruel, it can ensure the selection of the most elite forces."
"Jean Tocques, I will send the training outline to those five people later, and my grandfather will explain the theory to them. You don't have to worry about it, and continue to train other scouts. After their strength is further improved, they can be equipped with more powerful bows and become the soul of the army..."
"Okay, let's do as Captain Kashen said. Logically speaking, all 120 people can be promoted to knight-level warriors. We just raised the requirements at this step."
Kashin smiled and said: "The theory of scouts needs three to five years to mature. The army's quick-training method can only train junior knight-level warriors in batches. Because their foundation is not solid, the probability of them being promoted to intermediate knights in the future is greatly reduced, which is not conducive to long-term development, especially the training of scouts. Talents cannot be trained in the regular military way..."
This decision caused the training period of scouts to be extended several times. However, unexpectedly, this became one of the special forces of Sheldon Castle. Sheldon scouts became famous in the battles that followed, and they were feared by all. But that is another story...
The next day, Tok arranged for five apprentices at the peak of their powers to train, and Grandpa Nick took over the training task and taught them relevant theories. These theories were all valuable experiences that Grandpa Nick had learned from observing Kashin's training, and they had been passed down from then on.
Secondly, except for the soldiers who were recovering from injuries, the other scouts were clearly aware of their own skill deficiencies and began their own targeted training.
Jean Tocque took the trouble to inspect everyone's training status and gave careful guidance, aiming to allow all scouts to rest for a period of time before going out to suppress bandits.
Through actual combat, the soldiers deeply realized their own shortcomings. During training, they sweated profusely and persevered. No one wanted to be eliminated. Some of the better scouts, seeing the good, even trained harder in advance.
The training atmosphere in the entire training camp is much better than before the field training. Morale is high and everyone is full of fighting spirit.
At this time, Emily prepared the second batch of magic soil, and systematically directed the farmers to carry out the second soil covering, and then waited for the purification of nature.
Under Emily's command, the pig and sheep manure in the territory was fermented into high-quality fertilizer by adding magic potion ingredients, and then spread into the medicine fields to increase fertility.
These farmers were the fifteen families given to Emily by the castle. They all received Emily's education and gradually became familiar with the process of the herb field.
Every morning, Emily spends half a day explaining relevant knowledge and is committed to improving their agricultural level.
Their salary is based on the benefits of senior farmers, so every household is willing to learn the skills of senior farmers. After all, this is a job that requires long-term education to be competent, and they will also be the top talents of the castle in the future, so their salary is much higher than that of ordinary civilians...
Kashen calculated that the time was about right and prepared to go to the Magic Island. He had been at home for more than a month, and the task of assembling the pocket watch at the Magic Academy should be almost completed.
That night, everything was quiet, and the bedroom was filled with the warmth of passion. Tan Aili leaned tenderly on Kashin's broad chest, with a satisfied smile on her face, and whispered, "Dear idiot, you are getting better and better, it's great!" Her words were full of sweetness and praise.
Kashen hugged Tan Aili tightly in his arms, feeling her soft body and warm breath. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Baby, I may need to leave for a while. I plan to go to Magic Island and see if I can expand some business there..."
Hearing this news, Tan Aili felt a little disappointed, but she knew that Kashen had always been thinking about the pregnant Bryony. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she tried to stay calm, just sighed softly, and said no more. She silently reached out and stroked her still flat belly, feeling extremely anxious.
Noticing the change in Tan Aili's mood, Kashin asked with concern: "Madam, what's wrong? Are you unhappy because I'm leaving?..." However, before he could finish his words, Tan Aili interrupted him.
"Stop talking, just go if you want to. I know you are sincere to me, there is no doubt about that. As for her, she just used some tricks. As long as she does not affect our marriage, other things can be discussed. And to be honest, it was she who introduced you to the magic business, which has greatly alleviated the financial pressure on our family. In a sense, she is not our enemy. She did win this contest beautifully, but it is my fault that I have not been able to conceive a child so far..."
When she said this, Tan Aili's eyes turned slightly red and tears welled up in her eyes.
