Liu Feng stepped away, then walked into the withered forest, his eyes scanned around, and soon found a loophole of an elf, and walked to a snowdrift that looked like a human.
"Come out, your butt is already exposed." Liu Feng's mouth twitched, who hid in the snow and made a human-shaped snowdrift?
"Whoosh..."
The elf got up from under the snow, blushing and exhaling, looking at Liu Feng in a little bewilderment, her butt exposed?
"The snow covered is so thin that the outlines of people can be seen, especially..." Liu Feng glanced at the elf's upturned buttocks. The upturned buttocks are too obvious.
"This..." The elf blushed, lowered her head in shame, and covered her hips with her hands.
Liu Feng shook his head, he was very dissatisfied, such a disguise would be seen through by experienced hunters or knights in a few glances.He walked towards the dry woods, finding out where the elves were hiding from time to time.
"Come out, your hair is exposed... You have to wrap your hair in a cloth to hide, especially in a place full of snow."
"Come out, a stone is such a natural hiding place, you don't need to cover it with such dense dead branches, are you telling others that people are hiding here?"
"And you come down too. When you hide in the tree, remember to remove the snow marks on the tree trunk."
In less than 10 minutes, except for Eliza, all the elves were found by Liu Feng. They all made careless and common-sense mistakes, just like the Wolf Warriors team back then.
"Master, Eliza is the only one missing now." Mina's blue eyes glanced around, and she really couldn't find any flaws in Eliza.
"Can you find it?" Liu Feng turned to the wolves and asked, this is an impromptu test.
The Wolf Warriors team carefully observed the surrounding environment, and after a while, they all shook their heads to indicate that they could not find it.
"You guys made another mistake." Liu Feng sighed and walked towards an ordinary snowdrift.
It was a snowdrift with the top slightly tilted forward. Liu Feng squatted down and looked at the blinking emerald green eyes in the snowdrift.
"..." Eliza stared into Liu Feng's black eyes in astonishment. How was she discovered?Obviously the camouflage is perfect, people like Mina and the Wolf Warriors can't find it.
"Come out." Liu Feng said lightly, stretched out his hand to pat the snowdrift, stood up, and within ten minutes, he had seen through all the camouflage of the elf team.
Eliza lifted the snowdrift, got up from the snow, and said in astonishment, "My lord, how did you find me?"
"That's right, young master, how did you find out that Eliza was hiding in this snowdrift?" Mina wondered. There are too many snowdrifts like this, so why do you think there are people in this snowdrift.
"Then did you find any difference in the snowdrift where Eliza was hiding?" Liu Feng said indifferently.
"This..." Mina, the elves, and the wolf team all shook their heads, but they really didn't notice any difference.
"It must have been windy last night?" Liu Feng asked lightly.
"Yes, it was very windy last night." Sink responded immediately.
"Look at the wind direction of the snowdrifts." Liu Feng pointed to the arcs of other snowdrifts, and the arcs of the snowdrifts facing them were more curved. These were all blown by the wind, and they all went in one direction.
"Ah... I see." Mina's blue eyes glowed, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Eliza's snowdrifts are more like being piled up now, not like they were piled up naturally."
"So that's the case." Everyone suddenly realized.
"Looks like we all made a mistake." Eliza sighed, bowing her head in shame, feeling a little too arrogant.
"The highest state of camouflage is to naturally blend into the surrounding environment. For example, to hide a snowdrift, dig a snow pit, spread wood and linen on the pit, and then gently sprinkle snowflakes. There is room for movement inside. It won't make people freeze..." Liu Feng explained slowly.
He was talking about the hiding methods in the dead woods. If there are evergreen trees and the like, there are more hiding methods. Now the snowdrifts are the best hiding places.
What Liu Feng knows is all learned from watching special documentaries, and there are also some military film and television plots.
"Is there anything else you don't understand?" Liu Feng glanced at the people who were thinking. Today was a lesson for Mina and the Wolf Warriors team.
"Understood." Mina said with bright blue eyes, and the Wolf Warriors team also nodded.
"I understand too." Eliza cheered up, and she also thought of many ways to hide.
"Continue training, when you can do it, after you shoot the enemy in disguise, and let the enemy not find you, then you have succeeded." Liu Feng said lightly.
"Yes." Eliza and the elves replied respectfully.
Today, Liu Feng really taught them a lesson, dispelled all their impetuous and arrogant emotions, and restored their previous humble attitude.
Chapter 0434 you have to be careful.
In the capital, Darlene's shop was full of customers in the seven days since Darlene started selling goods, some were buying goods, and some were inquiring about the source of the goods.
There are even many who want to threaten Darlene to hand over the secret recipe of the goods, or the source of the goods.Had it not been for the help of Catherine and Princess Lucy, Darlene might have been kidnapped.
Today, all the goods that Darlene brought are sold out, and even the bottle of supreme edition perfume has been bought by merchants from other kingdoms, and it is said that they will go back to pay tribute to the king.
Darlene closed the shop today, the goods were sold out, so she closed the shop for a while and went home to receive Princess Lucy and Jones.
"Princess Lucy, thank you for your help these days." Darlene thanked and poured Princess Lucy a glass of water.
"Aren't we friends?" Princess Lucy raised the corners of her mouth, showing a heart-warming arc.
"..." Darlene was stunned, then she showed a knowing smile, nodded heavily and said, "Yes, we are friends."
She once regarded Princess Lucy as a competitor, no, a rival who cherished each other, two outstanding girls would unconsciously compare each other.
"These days, your source of supply has been exposed, what are you going to do?" Princess Lucy asked softly, taking a sip from the ceramic cup.
"It's okay, it's expected." Darlene shook her head indifferently.
It will be a matter of time, or inevitable, to expose Saba City. There are so many people who follow her to Saba City, and there are dozens of boatmen on her fleet. Yangcheng's experience.
Not to mention the nobles like Kunzhan and Jesse who came back from Saba City, as long as they think about it, they will know about Saba City.
"Oh? Are you not afraid that the business in the capital will be robbed?" Princess Lucy raised her eyebrows and said in surprise, "When those merchants go to Saba City, they will buy a lot of goods and come back to the capital, so your advantage will be lost. "
"No, I'm not worried at all." Darlene said with a smile on her lips, her blue eyes full of confidence.
She has the document signed by Mr. Liu Feng, and she is the biggest selling point in this area of the capital, and she doesn't care about other bits and pieces of goods at all.
"It seems that you have other preparations." Princess Lucy nodded her head lightly, and she agreed with Darlene's business wisdom.
"It's not that I'm ready, it's just that I have a good partner." Darlene's blue eyes curved into crescents, thinking of the young man with black hair and black eyes.
"Dalena, you have to be careful." Princess Lucy said with a serious face suddenly, "Although everyone's attention is shifting from you to that Saba City, you are still very dangerous."
"Uh..." Darlene frowned. She knew what Princess Lucy was talking about. She pursed her lips and said helplessly, "They don't dare to make any big moves yet."
"Don't underestimate their greed, this time you earned too much gold coins, they won't be patient for long." Princess Lucy warned.
"I understand that I will leave the capital when I finish my business." Darlene sighed. How could she not understand that the gold coins obtained from the sale of goods this time can make many nobles envious.
"I will leave the capital tomorrow, do you want to come with me?" Princess Lucy asked while holding a ceramic cup.
"This..." Darlene was a little moved, but thinking of her own property, she shook her head and said, "I can't leave for the time being."
"That's right, you still have a home to take care of." Princess Lucy lowered her head and sighed, "It's not like me, you have to run away from home."
"boom!"
Suddenly there was a crashing sound nearby, causing Darlene and Princess Lucy to look over and see that the ceramic cup in Jones' hand was cracked.
"Hee hee... I'm getting a little sentimental." Princess Lucy smiled, watching Jones turn her head away and relax her whole body. She also has a proud leopard-eared girl.
Darlene stared blankly at the strange expressions of the two, couldn't help scratching her thigh, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Princess Lucy, do you know what Catherine is doing these days?"
Catherine hadn't been here for three days. She would come every day for the past few days, but just three days ago, after being taken home by the knights sent by the Duke, she never saw her again. Darlene was a little worried.
"She..." Princess Lucy opened her mouth slightly and sighed helplessly, "She is busy learning etiquette recently."
"Etiquette?" Darlene's blue eyes opened slightly, and she asked in surprise, "Could it be that she has already started preparing for marriage?"
"Hmm!" Princess Lucy's golden pupils flashed with sadness, and she said bitterly, "Catherine is different from us, she is the daughter of a duke, and she can't choose to be willful about some things."
As the daughter of Duke Catherine, her ending has long been predetermined. If her father is not ill, she will be married to someone she doesn't like in two years, just like Catherine.
"Who will she marry?" Darlene clenched her fists, thinking of the elopement Catherine said.
"I don't know, the fight between the three of them just started, maybe it will take a while for the Duke to make up his mind who to support." Princess Lucy bit her lip slightly.
"..." Darlene didn't know what to do, help her friend escape the Duke's mansion?She doesn't have that kind of ability at all, and she can't even enter the gate of the Duke's mansion.
If things go on like this, Catherine will definitely marry someone she doesn't like. Darlene can imagine that playful girl, and she can only live with a bitter face in the future.
She also couldn't think of anyone who could help Catherine. Does she have to rely on Master Liu Feng?Such a long distance is simply unrealistic.
The atmosphere became depressing, Princess Lucy couldn't do anything about it, she was just a princess who was dying, even going to the Duke's mansion to meet Catherine was politely refused.
"I'm going to say goodbye to the little one, and you don't come to see her off tomorrow." Princess Lucy stood up and said.
"Yeah!" Darlene nodded with a smile.
"I'm leaving." Princess Lucy chuckled, and left with Leopard-Er Niang.
"I don't know when we can meet again." Darlene stared blankly at the departing beauty.
"I have to find a chance to meet Catherine. In a few days, does she want to go to Saba City with me?"
Chapter 0435 Dwarves Yuffie.
"Ta Tata..."
Princess Lucy left Darlene's house with Jones, stood at the door for a moment, looked back towards the door, and sighed, "I don't know when we can meet again in the future?"
She plans to go to Saba City to see the scenes of the peaceful coexistence of Beastkin and humans that Darlene said, and then she will leave and look for a witch doctor. If she does not find a witch doctor who can save her father, she will eventually leave the Kingdom of Yingluo.
"You can come back anytime." Jones said coldly.
"Hee hee...that's right." Princess Lucy chuckled and walked forward. She was going to say goodbye to her last friend.
Her friend is a little one, a dwarf, only about one meter tall, very petite and delicate, and one of the five strange women in the capital.
The dwarves are a branch of the human race. They are famous for their short stature, and they are also famous for their strength and superb skills in making armor and weapons.
The Dwarf Aoli Kingdom is a mountain kingdom. More than 50.00% of the entire kingdom is iron ore, and it has the most extensive volcanic area. The iron production and weapon manufacturing of the entire kingdom are the top existences of this era.
Dwarfs seldom leave the Kingdom of Auri, so it is very rare to see a dwarf in other kingdoms, let alone the more remote Kingdom of Yingluo.
"Ta Tata..."
Princess Lucy walked quietly on the street, looking at the deserted streets around and some beggars, she couldn't help speeding up her pace, she saw that her heart was blocked and panicked.
"Jones, tell me, is there really a place where people can eat and clothe themselves without having to beg outside?" Princess Lucy asked softly, turning her head to look at the cold-faced Leopard-eared lady.
"There is no place like this." Jones froze for a moment, then said coldly, "Stop dreaming."
"That's right." Princess Lucy said bitterly, looking up at the gray sky. It's going to snow again, and many people will freeze to death again.
"..." Jones was silent, and glanced around coldly. For her, she had seen too many such scenes.
"Ta Tata..."
Princess Lucy took Jones to a house made of stone and bricks, and could clearly hear the sound of iron hammering from inside, and walked into the house.
When I entered the door, I saw a middle-aged man about one meter long, struggling to beat a piece of red iron. This dwarf was the owner of the blacksmith shop.
"Uncle Yili." Princess Lucy greeted, it was not the first time for her to come.
"Huh?" Yili, who was blacksmithing, turned his head to look over, and said in surprise, "Princess Lucy, you are here? What are you going to build for Jones?"
Yili is a bald dwarf with protruding muscles all over his body. His arms are no thinner than his thighs. He looks like he has four legs. He holds a big hammer in his right hand and has a very strong aura.
"No, this time I'm looking for Yuffie." Princess Lucy quickly waved her hand, she turned her head and glanced at Leopard-Er Niang, this guy must often build things in her name.
"Oh, I'm looking for Yuffie." Yili put down the sledgehammer, wiped the sweat off his face, glanced at the inside of the house, and said in a low voice, "Princess Lucy, you came just in time, please help me persuade Yuffie."
"Huh? What happened?" Princess Lucy asked in amazement.
"Alas~" Yili touched his bald head, and said with a sad expression, "I don't know what Yuffie has thought of these days. He said that he wants to make a flying device so that he can fly back to the Kingdom of Aoli."
"Ah? Something that can fly?" Princess Lucy asked in amazement with her golden eyes wide open, "Why did she fly back to the Kingdom of Aoli?"
"This..." Yili hesitated, gritted his teeth and said, "In order to fly back, Yuffie can secretly look at her mother."
"So that's how it is." Princess Lucy understood, she also heard Yuffie said that Yili and Yuffie's mother were in free love together.
Yili is a commoner, and Yuffie's mother's family is a nobleman, so the two were separated directly. Even Yuffie's mother was taken back to the family, and Yili took Yuffie to escape from the Aoli Kingdom with difficulty, and finally came to England. King Luo settled down.
It's no wonder that Yuffie wanted to make a flying device and secretly flew back to the Kingdom of Aoli to visit her mother. The child who left home really missed her mother.
"Princess Lucy, please help me persuade Yuffie, how can a person fly into the sky? Let alone make flying equipment, this is simply a fantasy." Yili said with a bitter face, and he just said A daughter has a problem, how can he face her mother.
"Okay, I'll persuade you." Lucy replied earnestly.
"Thank you." Yakuza grinned in thanks.
Princess Lucy nodded, and walked into the house. When she came to a closed door, she could clearly hear the sound of 'clang clang' iron hammering coming from inside.
"Boom bang bang."
"Yuffie, it's me, Lucy, can I go in?" Princess Lucy knocked on the door and shouted.
"Kagji."
The door was quickly opened, and a dwarf in leather armor stood in front of the door, with short pink hair, delicate cheeks, and pink eyes looking at Princess Lucy in surprise.
"Princess Lucy, why are you here? Are you building something for Jones?" Yuffie said the same words as her father.
"Uh... no." Princess Lucy shook her head hastily, her golden eyes looked into the house, and said, "I have something to tell you."
"Quick, come in." Yuffie opened the door and invited Lucy and Jones in.
Everything in the room is very small, the bed is small, the table and chairs are very small.So Princess Lucy sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the thin sheet of iron on the workbench.
"Yuffie, are you really making flying equipment?" Princess Lucy asked in surprise.
"Yes, this is the inspiration I got in a dream. I want to create a flying wing, just like a bird." Yuffie clenched his fists and said excitedly, "At that time, I can fly around, and then fly back Go to Aoli Kingdom."
"This..." Princess Lucy opened her mouth slightly, what would she say?Could it be that this is a whimsical thing?
"Flying, whimsical." Jones said coldly.
"..." Princess Lucy covered her face, this girl with leopard ears should be so direct, it will hurt Yuffie's heart.
"I, I..." Yuffie's excited face froze, she pouted and turned her head away, angrily said, "Of course I know it's whimsical, but I just want to try."
"Then you have to pay attention to safety and don't jump from a very high place." Princess Lucy warned softly.
"Of course, I'm not stupid." Yuffie raised her head and said with expectation in her pink eyes, "I want to fly into the blue sky like the bird clan Beastkin."
"Okay." Princess Lucy heaved a sigh of relief. Yuffie doesn't look like a crazy dwarf now, and at least her IQ is still there.
"By the way, Princess Lucy, who are you here today?" Yuffie asked curiously.
"I'm here to say goodbye to you. I'm leaving the capital tomorrow." Princess Lucy said in a deep voice.
"That's it, then have fun." Yuffie said with a pure smile.
"Yes." Princess Lucy nodded affirmatively, she knew that Yuffie thought she was going out to play and leave.
Chapter 0436 Raid the barracks at night.
"Crash~"
The night wind was bitter, blowing the Youshui river and the water was rippling. A bonfire had already been lit on the bank, and the firewood made a 'slapping' sound in the flames.
It's around eleven at night, and Liu Feng took Mina and the members of the Wolf Warriors team to have a barbecue by the Youshui River.After inspecting the elf team's training during the day, they came to the place where they chose to build a pontoon bridge by the Youshui River.
The location for building the pontoon has also been selected, just above the dock, there is a corner over there, the water flow will slow down a lot after passing the corner, it is a good place to build a pontoon bridge.
"Master, it's time for you to eat something." Mina turned over the pheasant on the grill, her blue eyes looked worriedly at the other side of the campfire.
At this time, Liu Feng was bowing his head to write and draw, and there was a book next to him, he would read it from time to time, and then started to write on the drawings.
"You eat first, I'm almost ready." Liu Feng continued to write without raising his head. He was calculating the construction quantity and feasibility of the pontoon bridge.
A pontoon bridge refers to a bridge building that uses boats or pontoons instead of piers and floats on the water.To build a pontoon bridge, you must first calculate the water flow, whether the water flow will rush across the pontoon bridge in rainy days, how many boats will be used as piers, how many people can be supported to walk, and the service life.
Liu Feng has to measure and count all these, and there is no one to help him. No one in this era can build pontoon bridges. He is the No. 1 in this industry. Only when he leads people to build pontoon bridges can his subordinates accumulate experience .
And the most important point is that the pontoon bridge is a preparation for the construction of the Youshui River long bridge, and the construction of the cement pier requires work on the water. If there is a pontoon bridge, you can still try it.
"The number of boats must not be small, small boats are fine, no, medium-sized boats are needed, so that the buoyancy is stronger..." Liu Feng muttered while writing, vetoing his own ideas from time to time.
"Thick steel cables are also needed for connection, and a solid and heavy foundation is needed on the shore to prevent the pontoon from being washed away."
"You can build ships now, or buy some ships faster, just in time for the opening of the spring..."
"In this case, then the budget for buying sheep gold coins will be reduced by %, and the number of military cans will be reduced by %. No, this is not the case. After the fleet returns in the spring, the budget for mutton will be supplemented..."
Liu Feng babbled, pondered in his mind, and his handwriting was not slow, and he quickly wrote down the construction plan of the pontoon bridge. As long as he went back and filled in the gaps, he could order people to start work.
"Huh... done." Liu Feng sat up straight, put down the ballpoint pen, shook his sore wrist, and closed the notepad and books.
"Master, you can get it tomorrow." Mina hurried over to help pack the pens and papers, put them in an iron box, and then messed up the password.
"Take it as a visit to the moon." Liu Feng gathered the military coat on his body and looked up at the moon in the night sky.
"Master, drink some hot tea." Mina immediately handed over the teacup, and also brought over the roast chicken.
"Yeah." Liu Feng took the hot tea and roasted chicken and ate it, which must be leftovers from dinner.The reason why I stayed until now tonight is one more thing, and that is to raid the barracks.
He wants to check the training situation of the barracks, especially whether they can maintain their combat effectiveness at night. Tonight is a test time. He wants to see whether the soldiers have maintained a high level of vigilance in the cold winter.
"You can eat too, and everyone has something to eat." Liu Feng put down the teacup, and shouted to the cat-eared lady and the Wolf Warrior team, "There is still a task after eating."
"Huh? Mission?" Mina was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at the night sky. It's past eleven o'clock at night, and % of the people have already fallen asleep.
"Chaying, raid Chaying tonight, I want to see their training situation." Liu Feng said slowly.
This idea was just something he had suddenly, without any plan. It was probably an idea after watching the training of the elf team.
"Yes." The wolf team shouted in unison. They were raided by the city lord to check the camp more than once. As soon as they heard the sound, they put on their equipment and ran out with weapons.
"Master, do you want to prepare?" Mina also accompanied Chaying, and was very familiar with Chaying.
"Just bring a gong." Liu Feng waved his hands with a chuckle, biting the roast chicken and eating.
"Okay." Mina nodded, with a smirk on her lips. Her favorite is Chaying.
Half an hour later, everyone had enough to eat and drink. Liu Feng and others got up and went to the military camp in the east of Saba City, and soon came outside the military camp.
"Who?" Before approaching the barracks, Liu Feng and others were stopped, and there were seven or eight people lurking in the night.
"Come out." Liu Feng glanced around with black eyes and shouted, "I'm Liu Feng."
"Huh?" There was a startled voice in the darkness, and several soldiers with sabers in their hands came out immediately. These people were all sentries from the barracks, and they were even veterans.
"See City Lord." The veteran approached, and when he saw Liu Feng, he all saluted respectfully.
"Dark Whistle, very good." Liu Feng nodded in satisfaction. There is still some distance from the barracks, and it is already very good to be able to spot them in advance.
"Shua!" The veterans gave another military salute.
"I'm here to inspect the camp tonight, you guys continue to be vigilant." Liu Feng waved his hand and led Mina and the Wolf Warriors to the barracks.
"Yes." The veteran shouted in a low voice, gloating in their eyes, the veterans have also experienced a lot of the pain of this camp check.
Liu Feng and his party went through the inspection of the two teams again, and after entering the barracks, Liu Feng said to the cat-eared lady, "Mina, strike the gong for time."
"Yes." Mina shouted earnestly, holding a small wooden stick in her hand, and slammed the gong hard.
"Crackling, crackling~~"
A sharp and piercing gong sounded suddenly, causing the silent barracks to explode instantly, and noisy sounds came from all around.
The first point of the camp check is to assemble urgently. Liu Feng waited quietly. He wanted to see how fast and slow the time was.
Chapter 0437 lax housekeeping.
"Crackling, crackling~~"
In the military camp, in Niu Da's barracks, he suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "Who is making noise???"
Niu Da jumped up from the bed, ran to the hanger, tore off the clothes and put them on, picked up the armor and put them on.
Even though the military camp was very close to Saba City, he would only go home and live there for one day every seven days. Unless Liu Feng called him, he would not enter Saba City, but stayed in the military camp to train soldiers.
"Ta Tata..."
"Director, the city lord is here." The night soldier rushed in, and after shouting, he quickly helped Niu Da put on his armor.
"Young master is here?" Niu Da was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what was going on. After putting on his armor, he picked up the Tang knife hanging beside him, and trotted out of the barracks.
"Ta Tata..."
From a distance, Niu Da could see that the torches were brightly lit in the barracks, and there were several big fires around, and the young master stood aside and looked at him.
"Master." Niu Da ran over to salute.
"Time." Liu Feng said calmly.
"Two minutes." Mina responded immediately.
"Very good." Liu Feng nodded in satisfaction. This speed is considered satisfactory. After all, it is more troublesome to wear armor in this era.
"Huh..." Niu Dawei breathed a sigh of relief, the young master checked the camp, he was also very nervous.
In the military camp, no one with a high position can procrastinate, at least not here with Liu Feng. If the leader can't lead the way, how can he bring out a good army.
"Ta Tata..."
Just a little slower than Niu Da, soldiers in armor and weapons ran out one after another, quickly gathered in the open space, and divided into seven squares, each with 50 people.
"Time." Liu Feng had a cold face, and his sharp black eyes scanned everyone.
"3 minutes." Mina said in a deep voice. This time is considered excellent. After all, it takes time to wear armor.
Liu Feng nodded slightly. He was also very satisfied at this time, and the rest should be put on. If there are missing armor parts, it is probably moisture.
"Today, I'm here to trouble you. Whoever makes me dissatisfied? A -meter cross-country journey with heavy loads is waiting for you." Liu Feng shouted, his voice was deep and powerful, which made the soldiers straighten up unconsciously.
"Ta Tata..."
Liu Feng walked towards the phalanx, and Mina followed closely with a lantern. The two of them scanned the soldiers in front of them, and they could still see the gums in the corners of their eyes.
"Snapped!"
Liu Feng stood in front of a soldier, raised his hand and patted the armor on the soldier's chest, and asked sharply, "Where's the helmet? Do you want to be beheaded on the battlefield?"
"..." The soldier lowered his eyes and closed his mouth tightly in shame.
"The -meter cross-country journey begins." Liu Feng said coldly.
"Yes." The soldier shouted.
"I can't hear you." Liu Feng stared at the soldier with black eyes.
"Yes!!!" The soldier shouted at the top of his voice.
Liu Feng moved away and shouted, "Execute."
"Yes!!!" the soldier roared, gave a military salute, then trotted away from the phalanx, and went to carry the heavy cross-country alone.
Liu Feng continued to check with a cold face. His sharp black eyes made the soldiers feel a little uneasy. He was the most admired existence for the soldiers.
"Soldier, tell me, where is your armor?" Liu Feng shouted standing in front of a soldier.
"Report! In the dormitory!" The soldier shouted.
"Cross-country with loads, start." Liu Feng said coldly.
"Yes!" The soldier shouted, and ran out of the phalanx after saluting.
As time went by, people were constantly being pulled out, all of whom were wearing ill-fitting armor.Wearing armor in the military camp is done by two people, you help him, he helps you.
"23 people." After checking, Liu Feng looked at Niu Da and said calmly, "I hope there won't be one next time."
"Yes." Niu Da shouted, his voice resounding in the night sky.
"The next step is internal affairs." Liu Feng turned and walked towards the dormitory area. Mina and Niu immediately followed.
Liu Feng came to the first dormitory, stepped in, and looked at everything inside with a frown. The ground was clean, but the towels were hanging randomly, and the water glasses were also misplaced.
"Whose dormitory is this?" Liu Feng said in a deep voice, steel-like discipline is one of the successes of a strong army.
When Niu Da heard it, he immediately shouted to the outside of the gate, "Dormitory No. , come here..."
"Yes!" A soldier in the phalanx immediately shouted, and ran over in small steps.
"The internal affairs are unqualified, you are lax." Liu Feng pointed to the towel and the water glass, and said seriously, "Is it okay to make such a mess before going to bed? Can it be tidied up in the morning to be ready for inspection?"
"..." The soldier lowered his head, and the city lord was right.
"Raise your head." Liu Feng stared at the black eyes and shouted sharply, "My soldier, you can't bow your head even if you die."
"Yes!!!" the soldier shouted hoarsely.
"The whole dormitory has it, kilometers cross-country with heavy loads." Liu Feng shouted.
"Yes!" The soldier saluted, turned around and trotted out, called several soldiers from the same dormitory, and all went across the country with heavy loads.
"The internal affairs are lax, and we will conduct a strict investigation tomorrow." Liu Feng said coldly, and walked to the next dormitory.
"Yes!" Niu Da's face was ugly. He didn't expect that the soldiers would be lazy if they were a little careless.
"This is not up to standard, let them start." After Liu Feng checked the second dormitory, he found that the wooden basins inside were misplaced, and he knew that they were randomly thrown away before going to bed last night.
"Yes." Niu Da nodded and shouted loudly, "The bastard in the No. dormitory, run away immediately."
"Yes!!!" Several shouts came from the phalanx, and soldiers ran out immediately.
"Discipline can't be relaxed for a moment, and they can't be left to chance. Strict discipline is one of the elements that can command actions quickly." Liu Feng said with a serious face, "Especially recruits must be stricter, and they must polish off their laziness. Loose temper."
"Understood." Niu Da said seriously, recently he was busy with war horses, but this internal affairs was negligent.
"I don't want an army that will disperse if people scare it." Liu Feng pointed to the No. dormitory.
"Yes." Niu Da roared loudly, "You bastard in dormitory No. , run."
"Keep an eye on them, they will be recruiting again soon, if they can't do it, let them go to the reserve team." Liu Feng said indifferently.
"Yes." Niu Da's heart shuddered slightly. This is going to expand the army again.
Chapter 0438 What is a strong army?
"One two one, one two one, one two three four."
A loud shout rang out.
The familiar voice made Liu Feng open his eyes slowly, looking at the wooden beam above his head, he couldn't help being a little lost in thought.After checking the camp last night, it was already two o'clock at night, he spent the night in the barracks, and was woken up this morning.
Liu Feng was very dissatisfied when he thought of the camp inspection last night and the performance of the soldiers. The recruits seemed to be here to make a living, no, to live a good life.
The treatment and meals of the military camp have long been spread through the mouths of the veterans, which has attracted many people to join the army, and the daily training is a bit like rushing ducks to the shelves.
Compared with the veterans, the recruits lack a sense of fortitude, that is, they have not been baptized by war.Like veterans who experienced the Battle of Beifeng City and saw blood and corpses, let them know the cruelty of war.
What is a strong army? Liu Feng thought about this last night. He always felt that there was a lack of ceremony. Today, he will make up for this ceremony, so that these recruits have goals in their hearts.
"Gag!"
The door was pushed open, Mina came in with a wooden basin, put it on the table next to it, turned around to look at the bed, and saw Liu Feng's open black eyes.
"Master, you're awake." The corners of Mina's mouth curled up beautifully, the cat's ears twitched, and the cat's tail flicked from side to side.
"Yeah." With a lazy smile on his face, Liu Feng yawned and sat up, chuckling softly, "Where's the thing I asked you to prepare last night?"
"Okay." Mina nodded quickly, took out a piece of white cloth from her pocket, and asked suspiciously, "Master, do you want to make clothes?"
"No." Liu Feng rolled his eyes, did he use it to make clothes?This is for the military flag.
He thought a lot last night. The soldiers lacked a belief, a goal to fight and protect, so he made one for the soldiers. With the military flag, there is part of the responsibility for the rootless ideal.
The military flag is a symbol of honor, bravery and unified command of the army. It has a color of worship, is also a symbol of force, and is one of the representative symbols of power.
"Young master, you should wash up first." Mina brought over the clothes, waited for her to change and wash up.
After washing, Liu Feng spread the white cloth on the table, turned to the cat-eared lady and asked, "Where are the ink and brushes?"
"Here it is." Mina turned around and took out a wooden box in the room, and put it on the table. After opening, there were brushes and ink inside. These were all brought by her to the castle in the morning.
"Very good." Liu Feng picked up the brush and ink, and began to draw on the white cloth the image of the black dragon flag with a red background in his mind.
Of course, the white background is now, and the red background will be stained with blood. Sooner or later, it will be a real black dragon flag with a red background.
"Master, what is this painting?" Mina asked curiously, the dark pattern is very strange.
"Dragon, this is the black dragon, the dragon from my hometown." Liu Feng said seriously, outlining the appearance of the black dragon stroke by stroke in his hand.
"Dragon?" Mina blinked her blue eyes and asked curiously, "Do dragons look like this? Don't they have big wings?"
"No, this dragon can swallow clouds and breathe out fog, and ride the wind and clouds to fly." Liu Feng slightly raised the corner of his mouth.
"That's it." Mina nodded ignorantly, she didn't have the image of a dragon in her mind, and the young master did whatever he said.
"Okay." Liu Feng put down the brush, picked up the white cloth and waited to dry. This military flag may be very simple, but it is the most suitable.
Is there a military flag in this era?There must be, maybe it is not called the military flag, it should be called the noble flag, or the family flag, which represents a nobleman and a family.
"Master, is there a dragon in your hometown?" Mina asked curiously, staring at Liu Feng with her blue eyes, waiting for his answer.
"Huh?" Liu Feng was stunned for a moment, shook his head with a dumb smile, and said with a light smile, "I haven't seen it before, but I may have the blood of a dragon."
"Really?" Mina's blue eyes were shining, and she scanned Liu Feng closely, as if trying to find out the characteristics of the so-called dragon.
"Okay, stop watching." Liu Feng patted Mao Erniang's buttocks, stretched his waist and said, "Pick up the military flag, and make up for the ceremony today."
"Yes." Mina pouted and folded the military flag carefully, but her blue eyes were aimed at Liu Feng, still looking for the characteristics of a dragon.
"Let's go, they should already be waiting." Liu Feng stepped outside. Last night, he told Niu Da to gather the whole army this morning, and he was going to teach everyone a lesson.
"Yes." Mina followed behind holding the military flag.
"Gag!"
Liu Feng pushed open the door and walked out to the open space of the barracks. From a distance, he saw soldiers standing in the open space, and Niu Da was standing beside him waiting.
"Ta Tata..."
There was silence, only the sound of Liu Feng's footsteps could be heard. Last night's camp inspection made the recruits feel awe of Liu Feng.
"Master, all the people are here." Niu Da said respectfully.
"En." Standing beside Niu Da, Liu Feng went up to the wooden platform in front of him without any haste, and asked calmly, "Niu Da, what is a strong army?"
Niu Da was stunned for a moment, lowered his head in thought, he knew this was a test, and responded, "Winning a battle is a strong army."
"One-sided." Liu Feng said calmly, "What if the number of enemies is ten times that of ours? What will you do?"
"..." Niu Da was silent, thinking for a longer time.
Liu Feng didn't bother to urge him. In fact, he was also thinking about the question of a strong army. What is a strong army?How strong is it?
"Master, there are ten times as many enemies, we must retreat rationally." Niu Da said seriously.
"Then what if we can't retreat? There is a thousand-meter cliff behind." Liu Feng continued to ask indifferently.
"Fight to the death." Niu Da responded immediately.
"Give you five hundred soldiers, how many do you think will surrender?" Liu Feng asked another question.
"This..." Niu Da was speechless. He couldn't answer this question. It wasn't that no one surrendered, but the number of surrenders was uncertain.
"If the two armies are fighting normally, there will be retreats. Even if the army is weaker, it may be sick, and the food is insufficient. But they can continue to fight until the last one soldier, or even one soldier left, He can also charge the enemy, such a soldier is a strong army." Liu Feng's tone was low and forceful.
"This...young master, it is impossible to have such an army." Niu Da lost his voice, how could there be such an army.
His father had taught him that when two knights fight, if one knight is strong and defeats the other knight, most of them will surrender and wait for a ransom, or be reduced to slaves instead of fighting and being killed.
"No, yes." Liu Feng's voice became even deeper, and he strode towards the wooden platform.
Is there no such army?Yes, there were too many, he thought of the history on the other side of the earth, the battles in which death never retreated, Taierzhuang, Shangganling... the last drop of blood was shed, just to delay the enemy for one more second.
That is the strong army in his mind.
Chapter 0439 Casting Army Soul.
"Ta Tata..."
Liu Feng walked up to the wooden platform step by step, followed closely by Mina, and the soldiers all focused their eyes on them, waiting for the city lord to speak, secretly praising the beauty of the cat-eared lady.
"..." Liu Feng stood on the wooden platform, quietly looking at the soldiers below with his black eyes, without saying a word.
1 minute, 5 minutes... minutes, the eyes of many soldiers drifted away, they no longer looked at Liu Feng, their eyes drooped, they didn't know what the city lord was going to do.
"You guys, let me down." Liu Feng's steady and powerful voice sounded, "Yesterday's assembly and internal affairs all let me down."
More soldiers lowered their eyes in shame. Only the veteran stood up straight and looked at Liu Feng sharply. There are not many veterans left in the barracks now. Many of them have been transferred to other jobs. Check out the camp, the result is very satisfactory.
"I'm even more disappointed now." Liu Feng's black eyes narrowed slightly, his brows were lowered, he took a step forward, and shouted, "What? Don't you even have the courage to look at me directly? My soldiers are not so timid. , you are not even as good as the students in elementary school."
Liu Feng decided to spend some days, and the school also started military training, and trained the group of students as well.Of course, the time is seven days, just let them experience it.
"Shu~"
Raising their heads neatly, the soldiers' eyes instantly focused on Liu Feng, and many of them clenched their hands into fists.
"Angry?" Liu Feng looked down at the crowd with his hands behind his back, and said indifferently, "I let you eat well and be full every day. No one in Saba City has better food than you. Is this how you repay me?"
"Is your armor wearing faster than your food grabbing? You don't even wear your armor properly. If you go to the battlefield, you'll embarrass me and get stabbed."
Liu Feng stepped up on the wooden platform, his black eyes scanned the soldiers sharply, and said indifferently, "It's okay to be ashamed, you don't know that you are ashamed, you are already dead at that time. It is your relatives who are ashamed. parents, your children."
These words made the soldiers below grit their teeth, and they substituted the scene Liu Feng said in their minds.
"When others talk about it, they will say that you went to the battlefield to die. You are a group of miscellaneous soldiers. After all, soldiers who don't even have a uniform armor. What is it? You tell me..." Liu Feng said at the end. Roaring, "Are you miscellaneous soldiers?"
"No!!!" The soldier shouted hoarsely in response.
"No?" Liu Feng smiled lightly, and said coldly, "I'm telling you, the miscellaneous soldiers are only those who say no."
The faces of the soldiers turned red in an instant, and they gritted their teeth and looked at the city lord, wanting to prove that they were not miscellaneous soldiers.
"Are you trying to prove that you are not a miscellaneous soldier? No, I have no chance to prove it to you. Your performance last night made me think you are a miscellaneous soldier." Liu Feng shouted coldly.
These words almost made the soldiers grit their teeth. Did last night become their eternal shame?
There is no need for praise in the military camp, the best praise is to gain glory through practical actions, and this is the case with a proud soldier who must be defeated. No matter how well a soldier does, Liu Feng will not praise him.Only to nitpick, let alone recruits.
"Let me tell you what is not a miscellaneous soldier in my heart." Liu Feng's black eyes were full of sharpness, and he said with a serious face, "The strong soldier in my heart is strict discipline, and daring to fight without fear of death. The enemy No matter how long you persist, the strong army will be able to persist for an hour or two hours longer than them. Even if only one person is left in the battle, he will dare to charge with a spear and a knife."
The lowly soldiers were all stunned, they were at a loss with their mouths open, is this a strong army?They are really miscellaneous soldiers.
"Do you want to be miscellaneous soldiers forever?" Liu Feng shouted, looking at the soldiers.
"I don't want to!!" The soldiers raised their heads and yelled. Who wouldn't want to be such a strong army? Just thinking about it makes the blood boil, and dares to challenge the enemy alone.
"Death is not scary. I will be responsible for the hero who died in battle." Liu Feng said solemnly, "From today onwards, as long as the soldiers who died fighting for Saba City, your parents, I will Die for them; your children, I will cultivate them into talents; I will build tombstones for you, and bring your relatives to witness your glory."
"Huhuhu..."
The soldiers all breathed heavily, and looked at Liu Feng with red eyes. This kind of promise and the fantasies intertwined in their minds made them wish to fight for the city lord right now.
Niu Da opened his mouth and stared blankly at Liu Feng. Would such a promise be too heavy?According to this era, if a knight dies in battle, some silver coins will be regarded as a pension, and who will take care of your family.
These soldiers were all civilians, and some were slaves and Beastkin. Liu Feng's promise was too heavy for them, and they felt that they had no worries at all.
"Bring it." Liu Feng stretched out his hand to Mina, and now the military flag is on the stage.
"Yes." Mina respectfully put the military flag in Liu Feng's hand, and she was also told that her heart was surging.
"Shh!"
Liu Feng shook the military flag away, held the military flag high with his right hand, and shouted, "It represents me, it also represents you, and it represents Saba City."
"Chong!"
Liu Feng pulled out the Tang knife from his waist, put the hilt in his mouth, and slashed across the blade with his left palm, blood spattered, and the bloody palm pressed against the white military flag, leaving dazzling blood-red handprints, although it was only half A handprint, but the soldiers were stunned.
"Master." Mina was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that she took out a piece of white cloth from her bosom, and quickly wrapped it around Liu Feng's palm.
Everyone did not expect Liu Feng to do this.Niu Da stood there for a few seconds, his face became awe-inspiring.Stepping towards the wooden platform, he came in front of Liu Feng, and took the Tang knife in Liu Feng's mouth respectfully with both hands.
"Swipe your thumb, don't delay the training." Liu Feng said calmly, holding up the military flag with one hand, and letting the cat-eared lady bandage up with the other.
"Yes." Niu Da respectfully nodded, the Tang Dao slashed across his thumb and pressed it on the military flag, leaving a bloody fingerprint.
Suddenly, a low-lying soldier stepped towards the wooden platform, and the soldier behind was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips and followed.The soldiers came to Liu Feng, saluted the army, slid their thumbs across the Tang saber, and pressed blood on the military flag.
This is the ceremony that Liu Feng wanted. What he wanted was a military soul. An army with a military soul is the real strong army.
Now is just the beginning of casting the military soul, and it needs to go through the baptism of war, but the seeds of the military soul have been planted, waiting to be watered by iron and blood.
Chapter 0440 I'm going to kill.
Half an hour later, the military flag was covered with blood-red thumbprints, and the bloody handprint in the middle was particularly conspicuous.
Liu Feng looked at the blood-dotted military flag in his hand, and nodded in satisfaction. This might become a ceremony for recruits to enlist in the army in the future.
"Niu Da, find a piece of wood and hang it up. There are people and the military flag, so the military flag cannot fall." Liu Feng ordered, and handed the military flag to Niu Da.
"Yes." Niu Da saluted, and took the military flag respectfully with both hands.
