Three days later, Gao Wen, who was reviewing documents in his study, was interrupted from his thoughts by a rhythmic knock on the door.
He raised his head and knew who was standing at the door by sensing his breath.
"Come in, Solderin."
The door to the study room opened, and it was the high-ranking ranger with a shiny golden wig who walked in.
"It seems that you are recovering well." Seeing Solderin's complexion, Gawain couldn't help but smile and nodded, "Has the last remaining toxin been removed?"
"It has been cleared out a long time ago, but the old Druid always used the excuse that 'the toxins of cultists are unpredictable and require more observation and testing'," Solderin shrugged helplessly. He shrugged, "He gave me weird potions every now and then, and drew blood seven or eight times - I always felt like he was lying."
"Of course he's lying to you," Gawain He said casually, "I told you from the beginning, be careful when dealing with Pittman. It is not an exaggeration to think that you can associate all the deception and abduction skills you have encountered in your life with him."
Solderin: "..."
Seeing the stunned look of the high-ranking ranger, Gawain couldn't help but smile and shook his head, quickly changing the topic to prevent the ranger from doubting the future of life. Immersed in the state for too long: "Let's not talk about him, let's talk about you - how are you adapting to life in the territory?"
Since returning from injury more than half a month ago, Solderin has been He has been resting in Cecil's territory, but he has not been resting all the time. When his injuries eased and his movements were unimpeded, he participated in military missions in the territory under Gawain's instructions. As a high-level ranger with rich combat experience, he was responsible for attacking Sisi as a senior advisor and mountain warfare instructor. The combat corps provides training and guidance.
Although his appearance is slightly feminine, Solderin's strong personal strength and legendary experience of following Gawain Cecil to expand the territory still make this "foreign ranger" win among the soldiers. According to the report of Knight Byron, this "Mr. Consultant" performed quite well in the army.
But Gawain knew that "idle" jobs such as high-level consultant and instructor were not what Solderin wanted. As an elf warrior, Solderin was still young and strong. What I am looking forward to more is specific military positions and tasks that can directly contact the battlefield.
Just as Gawain expected, Solderin sighed helplessly: "It's okay to adapt... This land is developing faster than I expected, but here The people are very energetic, and I like the atmosphere of the soldiers doing their duties very well. But you also know that I can't take any time off." As he said this, the high-ranking ranger started to move. He touched his arm: "As you can see, I have completely recovered, and it is no longer a problem to go to the battlefield, so I want to discuss with you, can you give me something to do besides being a consultant and instructor?"
"If you want to fight, there is no war for you in the territory now, at least not yet," Gawain looked at Solderin and said unhurriedly, "But I guess that's not what you mean. You probably just want to find a job where you can stretch your muscles and not have to stay in the barracks all day, right?"
Solderin smiled: "You still understand me."
"In fact, I actually arranged a task for you," Gawain said without being polite, "You should have already come into contact with the soldiers in the current territory - the Cecil Combat Regiment, including the ordinary infantry regiment. And the newly established artillery unit, what is your impression of them?"
Solderlin had been observing the Cecil Combat Corps for more than a day or two, and he immediately made his own evaluation: " Powerful frontal combat units, thermal energy ray guns and melting swords can fight against any conventional soldiers and low-level transcendent beings. Magic crystal rail guns can destroy any city defense fortress, or if conditions are right, those cannons can destroy mid-level transcendent beings. The salvos are even fatal to high-level warriors, but this is only possible on the frontal battlefield."
"Yes, the combat corps can exert its greatest power when two armies confront each other. ," Gawain nodded, "We have equipped a powerful main force with magic weapons, but now I still lack some... special troops."
Solderin eyebrows. Raising his head slightly, he immediately thought of his profession and what Gawain had just said about "arranging a task for you", so he asked tentatively: "You mean... the ranger unit?"
"Almost It can be understood that way," Gawain nodded, "Have elite combat capabilities, can adapt to unconventional battlefield environments, are good at infiltration, reconnaissance, and survival. If necessary, can launch a fatal blow to the enemy's weak points like a dagger. I need Such a team."
As Gawain spoke, he thought of the "special forces" he knew in his previous life. From a certain perspective, the two are somewhat similar.
It's just that in this world, due to the existence of extraordinary power, the gap between "special forces" and "ordinary forces" will be even wider.
The Ranger Force is an elite combat unit unique to the Silver Empire, but there are also similar special forces in various human countries. Some of them are also called "Ranger Forces", such as the Southern High Mountain Kingdom and the Western Kingdom. Some of the rangers in the Ogore Tribal Nation have their own names, such as Typhon's "Rogue Troops" and Ansu's "Royal Shadow Guards". These teams are elite combat forces trained by various countries.
Although each country has its own special forces, due to the vastness of the continent, different combat environments, and different traditions of each country, the fighting styles of these "elite warriors" are also different, such as the Gaoling Kingdom in the south. Rangers, like the Silver Elves, are good at mountain warfare. The rangers of the Ogore tribe in the west are good at stealth operations. The rogues of Typhon are good at magic and assassination. The Royal Shadow Guards of Anzu are good at sneaking into places.Halfway through, he suddenly jumped out, swinging his two-handed sword and unleashing a whirlwind attack...
They are all strong (confirmed).
"I thought the Military Intelligence Agency you established was the 'Royal Shadow Guard' you trained for yourself," Solderin said curiously after hearing Gawain's request, "I saw you Use the method of training Royal Shadow Guards to train them - at least part of the method. "
"The Military Intelligence Agency is a specialized intelligence department, and the operators are better at infiltration than combat," Gawain explained, "What I need you to train is a combat force."
In Gawain's view, many military concepts in this world are in a relatively backward state. This is probably because simple and crude extraordinary power is too Effective, so people ignore the detailed technical issues in war - no country has an advanced and systematic concept of "intelligence warfare", and even the various special forces are positioned as "soldiers who are particularly capable of fighting" From this perspective, the Royal Shadow Guards are assassins and warriors, but they are not professional spies or intelligence warfare agents. Therefore, Gawain established the "Military Security Intelligence Agency" to fill the gap in this aspect. As for the real special operations force, he is now It hasn’t been cultivated yet.
After Gawain’s simple explanation, Solderin understood the request of his old friend. After briefly thinking about the current Cecil combat troops and artillery regiment, he said with a half-smile. : "I'm afraid what you asked me to cultivate is not an ordinary 'Ranger Troop', right?"
"Yes, based on the current Cecil Magic Arms and some new tactical ideas, I want What you have cultivated is not only a team that can fight better than ordinary armies, but a team that can cope with more complex battlefield situations," Gawain said seriously, "For this reason, I can equip this team with the most advanced equipment. Advanced weapons, allocate the most abundant resources, and even prepare special weapons and equipment for them, and they will also become the first testers of various new weapons - you can also discuss with Nicholas Egg based on your own experience, Research the equipment you need, and if it can be achieved with existing technology, you can try it."
"Is it an experimental force..." Solderin understood Gawain. He nodded slowly, "Indeed, those magic weapons you created are brand new things. The popularization of each type of equipment can be regarded as experimental. With such a special team to It is also necessary to try a variety of new weapons."
"You can select the best one hundred students from the Cecil Combat Corps for initial training. I will not help with the training manual. You have formulated the standard training process for rangers in the Silver Empire. I think it is very good. According to that standard, if one-third of a hundred people can persist to the end, it will be a success. In addition, I will let all departments cooperate with you, including The Weapons Manufacturing Factory and Machinery Manufacturing Factory in the 'Disobedience Fortress' will open a docking window for you," Gawain said with a smile on his face, "The name of this team is called 'Iron Rangers' Bar."
"Steel RangerSoldiers..." Solderin chewed on this strange but majestic name, "Are they positioned as 'cavalry'? ”
“Oh, it’s not that – I mainly think it’s cool to be called that.” "
Solderin: "..."
After the high-ranking ranger left, Gawain breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that he What was given to Solderin was a rather difficult task.
He only gave the opponent a broad goal and a bunch of preferential treatment conditions, but did not have any detailed and referenceable troop training and formation plan. The reason he put it forward is very simple, that is, he himself does not know how to train and form such a force.
Solderin can only rely on his own understanding and experience to build such a force. Team.
A team based on the Silver Empire’s ranger training process, but also equipped with Cecil magic weapons, and also has an experimental nature... Gawain can’t help but begin to look forward to the final form of this team. What kind of "Iron Rangers" will Solderin create for him?
For some reason, Gawain is a little worried. He always feels that the final style of this team may be possible. It would be strange...but it is strange. In this world, there are even stalkers wielding two-handed swords and slashing with whirlwind. Is there anything more challenging to people's outlook on life?
While he was thinking, the door of the study room was knocked again. Gawain raised his head and responded, and saw Hetty opening the door and walking in.
The lady was holding a bottle in her hand. A large piece of paper still exuding the fragrance of ink.
“Ancestor,” Hetty said with a smile on her face, “the sample of the first issue of Cecil Weekly is out. ”
