When the Saint comes, she does not collect food

#226 - A new day in the boot camp

On the ruins of the town, along the bumpy cobblestone road, a dozen open-top carriages were moving slowly forward.

Each carriage was carrying a dozen or twenty recruits, dressed in linen robes, looking enviously at the black-clad cavalrymen escorting them.

They were all wearing beautiful woolen coats.

His body swayed with the carriage, Bruner leaned against the side of the carriage, looking at the gaps in the bottom of the carriage with a worried face.

Unlike the other recruits who were excitedly discussing, his mood was not high, even a little fearful.

He didn't want to join the army in the first place, but that day he was ridiculed by Merixau as a fool, and he couldn't help but argue with him a few words.

As a result, inexplicably, he was registered on the roll of soldiers by that monk master.

It would not have been difficult to clear up this misunderstanding, but unfortunately, after the registration was completed, the centurion Mosan scolded Merixau for obstructing conscription and pressed his head to apologize to him.

If he said that he didn't want to be a soldier, he would offend not only Merixau, but also Merixau, Mosan, and the monk Jim, three "big shots."

Wouldn't he be given a hard time?

Bruner was just timid and slow to react, he was not stupid, after figuring out the cause and effect, he was numb.

Go to the recruit camp, that is really going to the battlefield to fight, say not to go to the recruit camp, then go back in dismay, will definitely be embarrassed by the resentful Merixau.

In the end, under the persuasion of Gashkur, Bruner decided to join the army first to avoid the current disaster.

As for what to do in the future, he can only take one step at a time.

Bruner raised his head, but saw the other recruits looking at him with mocking eyes.

These recruits and him are from the same hundred households or even ten households, Bruner's timidity and cowardice are well-known.

They don't say it, but they all know the inside story, just occasionally cast meaningful glances at Bruner while chatting and joking.

"Combosam, have you been a mercenary before?"

"Hey, not long, but seven or eight years, fought a few small battles, like the battle of Grand Duke Papani before, I was at the scene, and saw Commander Geshka angrily kill deserters with my own eyes."

"Then be sure to take care of us."

That Combosam patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, I am known as the old captain in the mercenary army, and I often bring new recruits. I will teach you one thing. Do you know what kind of recruits the old captain likes the most?"

"Strong?"

"Tall?"

"Wrong." Combosam's mouth hung a smile, "Is fierce, to have that fierce energy, not fierce, how to kill people on the battlefield?"

Bruner shuddered subconsciously when he heard the word killing.

"...Like some people on our carriage, I won't name them, they definitely won't please the instructors, they are too cowardly, they have no strength, they look big, but their courage is smaller than a dick... Hey, Bruner, do you think I'm right."

Bruner nodded with a smirk: "Yes, yes."

"Hahahahaha——"

The cold wind in early winter brought moist water vapor, wetting the sage and wood sorrel beside the road. In Bruner's melancholy, the barracks finally appeared behind the hillside.

Different from the town blocks, the Eyre barracks were renovated by Horne by transferring beastmen prisoners of war laborers and the Trinity Education Team.

They spent less than twenty days to repair a general idea.

After that, even if the recruits are training, the barracks will have to continue to be repaired to welcome the later recruits.

A major reason why Horne recruited recruits in batches was that the barracks were not completely repaired and could not accommodate too many people.

The gate in front of the fence slowly opened, and Bruner looked up, the arched wooden frame slowly passed over his head.

The carriage entered the semi-circular square in front of the barracks, and the compacted ground was densely covered with a layer of red and white material stones as floor tiles.

A dozen instructors in Salvation Army uniforms stood together, and the neat and mighty military uniforms and the **** atmosphere firmly attracted everyone's attention.

How nice it would be if I could wear this suit? Bruner looked at the veterans enviously.

"Here we are, you lazybones, it's cheap for you to take the carriage." A black-clad cavalryman with a scar on his mouth shouted at them, "Go, go, get out of the car!"

Before the coachman could stop the car, these young adults jumped out of the carriage, looking here and touching there.

Some people even walked straight towards the guards at the door, but were knocked to the ground by a gun, becoming the first injured in the recruit camp.

After all the recruits got out of the car, the carriage immediately turned to pick up other recruits. When the gate was completely closed, the black hat military brigade captain at the head stepped forward:

"Stop looking, this is the barracks."

"You pieces of shit will spend twenty days in the recruit camp and become a stronger piece of shit."

"While you are here, just remember three things - obey orders, obey orders and obey orders!"

"If you don't understand what it means to obey orders, remember one sentence - the brigade captain is always right!"

The recruits standing in the front row poked their itchy ears, not understanding why the instructor was speaking so loudly.

"I am called Coleman, a veteran who participated in the Little Mud Ditch Battle, the High Platform Mountains Battle and the Jeanneburg Blood Battle. His Majesty Saint Sun has sent me to discipline you.

We veterans are your best big brothers. You can ask us if you don't understand anything. We will kindly tell you. Now start roll call, starting with you over there!"

"Fogan Shinri!"

"Here!" The farmer named Fogan waved his hand immediately.

"In the barracks, you are only allowed to answer yes and here, do it again!"

A veteran stepped forward and dragged Fogan out of the crowd: "Here... here."

"No strength, do it again!"

"Can't hear, can't hear at all!"

"Are you without eggs? Do it again!"

Those veterans immediately pointed at the farmer and roared, forcing the farmer to shout seven or eight times, until they were satisfied when their voices were hoarse.

At this time, a veteran came out, grabbed Fogan's collar, dragged him to the side, and began to teach him how to stand one-on-one.

"Next, Taylor Tien!"

"Here!"

"Good, very energetic."

Taylor was also taken away by another veteran to teach him standing posture and rules.

Under Coleman's roll call one by one, this batch of hundreds of recruits confirmed their arrival and were successively taken away by the veterans who served as instructors.

"Next, Bruner Guillaume!"

"..."

"Bruner! Bruner!"

"Here!" Bruner quickly pushed away the crowd and stepped forward, seeing Coleman with a face full of flesh in front of him.

"Mad, you're quite tall, but your voice is so small?"

"You want to fight with such a small voice? Do it again!"

"Here——"

After Bruner shouted more than a dozen times, Coleman let him go.

A young officer stepped forward and patted him on the back: "You're quite tall, maybe you can be a platoon leader. I'm Krushu, your brigade captain. Now, shut up and follow me, don't ask anything."

Looking at the back of the officer, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, Bruner didn't say anything, and followed him obediently.

Although this officer named Krushu was not very old, his status was not low. The other veterans looked at him respectfully.

Combining his age, Bruner thought he was probably from the child army.

When he arrived at the training ground, Krushu took a forearm-length rod of piety injection from the shelf and tapped the ground.

Bruner looked at him blankly.

Kruschu didn't hit him directly. Although Horne gave them the right to use rod of piety injection and heart-warming feet, they were only allowed to use them after a real mistake.

If a soldier reports that the veteran leading the team is using corporal punishment in violation of regulations, the veteran will also be punished.

"Get here, stand still!"

"Oh, oh, oh." Bruner immediately obediently stood in that position.

There were already three recruits in front of him, they straightened their bodies, looking like they were gritting their teeth.

Because he was tall, Krushu arranged him at the end.

"Don't say oh oh oh, say yes!" Krushu frowned at the big man.

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll teach you how to stand now. Do you see the people in front of you? Like him, straighten your waist, put your hands on your thighs, put your heels together, and don't shake."

Under Krushu's teaching, Bruner stood up as required, but his back was a little hunched.

But Horne's requirements for them are not high, almost there, how can they expect them to reach the training level of later generations?

"Okay, keep standing, wait for me to come back." Krushu shouted to the remaining recruits, "So are you, don't be lazy."

The recruits immediately straightened their bodies.

But Krushu's figure disappeared behind the house, and the other three recruits immediately relaxed.

They moved their shoulders, sat down and rubbed their knees and calves, and formed a circle to curse.

"I don't understand what we're standing for?"

"It's not that I'm afraid of standing, what's the point of not letting people move, and hitting them as soon as they move?"

"I am a Saint Favored One, not to mention sending a holy gun, at least there should be a spear and a sword, what's the point of standing empty-handed?"

"Standing day and night, can you stand to death the enemy?"

Several people muttered and complained for a long time before they realized that Bruner was still standing.

"Hey, big guy, don't stand, come and chat." The recruit who claimed to be a Saint Favored One shouted at him.

Bruner shook his head stiffly: "No, the instructor said to keep standing and wait for him to come back."

"Stand again before he comes back."

"I can't remember this posture, I'll forget how to stand when he comes back." Bruner replied hoarsely.

The Saint Favored One shook his head: "Flatterer, stand if you like."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the neighboring recruit brigade suddenly shouted: "Hey, look, is that His Holiness the Pope?"

The people who were sitting on the ground immediately stood up and looked towards the hill: "Really, it's really His Holiness the Pope."

"Look, look, His Holiness the Pope is waving to us."

"Your Holiness, I'm here——"

"Your Holiness, we love you——"
