With the continuous development of the territory, the population gathered on this land has reached more than 10,000. The Cecil Combat Corps has also experienced a new round of expansion of the system of similar construction corps and the great help of magic to production and construction. The Cecil Territory still maintains a very high military-civilian ratio, and at the same time, it has not affected the development and operation of the territory too much.

Gao Wen always believed that troubled times were coming, and sooner or later, the monsters in the wasteland of Gondor or the war between the human kingdom would find themselves. In order to cope with the coming danger, it is necessary and inevitable to build a powerful armed force.

With the expansion of the scale of the Cecil Combat Corps and the gradual improvement of various administrative frameworks in the territory, Gao Wen's training of this army became more formal and rigorous. Compared with many superficial regulations similar to the "Three Rules" in the early stage of the construction of the territory, Gao Wen formulated more clear, stricter, and more convenient military regulations for statistics and rewards. He stipulated the allowances and benefits of each level of sergeant soldiers, stipulated basic soldiers' conduct, and stipulated how to supervise the army, how to count military merits, and how to punish dereliction of duty. In order to enable these system regulations to be implemented, he also ordered Philip and Byron to select a group of people who are literate and honest and reliable from young soldiers to act as grassroots commanders. It should be thanked for the efforts of night school teachers. There are more and more people who recognize words in the territory, and it is not difficult to select such a group of grassroots commanders.

Gao Wen himself is not a military person, but fortunately, Gao Wen Cecil is an expert in this field. In addition to the theory accumulated by being a keyboard warrior in his previous life, he finally built this framework.

After the framework is established and the system is formulated, what is left is the nearly brainwashed new recruit education and endless training, which will make all rules and regulations and codes of conduct into conditioned reflexes and be engraved in the bones of every Cecil soldier.

In the military zone on the east side of the territory, the recruits are undergoing daily physical training. These people who were ordinary farmers and handymen not long ago are now wearing standard Cecil armor, carrying training backpacks with the same weight as the combat backpack, and steel arm armors with a volume of magic terminals and weights are tied to their arms, carrying this outfit to train in queues on the open space. Gao Wen, the two knights, Byron and Philip, stood together, paying attention to the training of the soldiers.

From time to time, veterans who acted as instructors shouted and scolded from the field, but today no longer heard the complaints and cheers from the recruits.

"To be honest, the queue training you advocated was really useful," Byron couldn't help but sigh, "After a little after practicing, they would at least get their obedience."

Knight Philip was lamenting something else: "I really didn't expect this to be possible by treating the simplified Knight Code as a soldier's conduct and requiring everyone to do it."

"As long as they practice well, let them remember the content of their daily learning in their bones like conditioned reflexes, so that even if they don't understand the spirit of chivalry, they will do it as they do," said Gao Wen casually. "The Cecil Combat Corps is a very special army. They want to protect this land and protect the people on the land, and the people must also support them with all their strength. Only in this way can we gain a foothold in this dangerous wasteland border."

The Byron Knight sighed: "The ordinary noble private soldiers are mostly rogues and soldiers. Even if they are from civilians, as long as they are covered with the aristocratic emblem and sword in hand, they will be ruthless when they blackmail the civilians, because the nobles only need these private soldiers to protect their castles... Occasionally, some chivalrous nobles will pay attention to the discipline of the army. They will strictly demand their soldiers, but only strictly require them. Like you, you have formulated a lot of rules and systems to restrain soldiers... This is the first time I have seen it."

"Personal morality will eventually disappear with the death of the individual. Only perfect systems and regulations can ensure that discipline remains valid after personnel rotation," Gao Wen smiled. "Of course, even if there are perfect systems and regulations, there is no eternal kingdom or order in the world, but at least groups with institutional constraints will survive longer than those groups that collapse as long as the leader dies."

"Will personal morality eventually die with the death of the individual?" Knight Philip showed an admiration, but after hearing the second half of Gao Wen's words, he couldn't help but frown. "You mean, even with these perfect institutional constraints you have formulated, Cecil's leader will one day follow the footsteps of those deceased?"

"If future generations don't know how to cherish it," Gao Wen spread his hands, "No matter how good the foundation is, there will always be a day."

Philip Knight's face turned up: "You don't have to be so pessimistic, you..."

Gao Wen waved his hand before the other party finished saying it: "Don't say nonsense like 'your great cause will be eternal', it's all about fooling fools and dead people. I don't expect that when I was buried, someone carved a 'great achievements forever' on the grave. As a result, when I opened my eyes, I even dug the grave. From that day on, I no longer believe in similar compliments."

Knight Philip was choked and stunned, unable to speak for a while. Knight Byron next to him patted Philip on the shoulder, and his ribs were almost broken when he smiled: "Let you brag with experienced people."

Gowen glanced at Byron, who had no knightly demeanor, and said, "Don't laugh, let you conceive a new melee weapon that conforms to Cecil's combat methods and magical techniques. Do you have any clues?"

Due to the discovery of the "disobedience" fortress, the ruins in the mountains are undergoing large-scale cleaning and restoration. Gao Wen wanted to restore the middle-level area of ​​the ruins and regard it as Cecil's "Ancient Technology Research Center" and the second industrial base. Considering that the Byron Knights had organized exploration in the ruins before the beginning of winter, and now they have such significant achievements, Gao Wen gave him a few days off, so that he could have time to go back to the surface to bask in the sun and go home to accompany the peas. However, in accordance with the principle of making the best use of the people, Gao Wen also gave Byron a relatively relaxed task, which was to let him think about what his soldiers needed to design the melee weapon improvement plan for Cecil's combat soldiers.

Originally, he just asked casually, and did not think that this mercenary knight who was usually a carefree man would have any results so quickly. However, he didn't expect that Byron immediately smiled proudly: "You are right, I really have some ideas!"

"Oh?" Gao Wen was a little surprised, "Let's hear it."

"Wait, I have a drawing!" Byron said happily, "Just not far from home, I'll come when I go!"

Byron had a strong ability to move. After obtaining Gao Wen's permission, he directly drove his sprint and charge and disappeared into the training ground in smoke and dust, leaving Gao Wen and Philip looking at each other in the same spot. After a while, the Knight of Philip said, "He can draw magic drawings?"

Byron's residence on Knight Street was very close to the military camp, and the professional knight's journey was fast. Gao Wen didn't wait long before he saw the knight running back again. As expected, the other party was still holding a big-looking paper roll in his hand, which must be what he mentioned.

"That's it," Byron came to Gao Wen and excitedly unfolded the drawings. "This is what I have been thinking about with several rune craftsmen from the Machinery Manufacturing Institute. You also know that I am not very good at drawing drawings..."

Gao Wen nodded immediately, and at the same time, his attention was already attracted by the things on the drawings. It was indeed a design drawing of some kind of melee weapon, which looked like a sword, and it could be seen that it was just a conceptual framework. The handle of the sword and the root of the blade could be seen for the runes and magic devices, but there was no exact structure there, and there was a lot of functional requirements or concepts written next to the drawings. Obviously, this was not finished yet.

Byron also noticed the incompleteness on the drawings, and he smiled: "The result has not been discussed yet, there are many things that are controversial."

Gao Wen had already seen some of the things he was expecting from the sword design drawing and immediately said: "Don't be afraid of controversy, tell me what you think."

"That's right, you should know that the difference between a mercenary and a professional knight or a soldier back then is that we don't have so many policies and rules. Whether we are weapons and equipment or combat methods, they all start from practicality. When viewing our equipment, laymen will think that it is messy, but we ourselves know that every weapon and equipment exists because it is 'needed', and it has its own corresponding use environment and scenarios." Byron rarely took the initiative to mention his mercenary experience and began to tell his own ideas. "So I was thinking about the situation under which our soldiers need to use melee weapons, and what is the battlefield environment that these melee weapons have to face?"

He paused for a moment and continued: "Cecil combat soldiers already have thermal ray guns. It is said that higher-level arcane missile launchers and electric guns have also entered the design stage. The power of these things is greater than that of the other, and if the soldiers use them in clusters, they can even directly kill the mid-level extraordinary people. These long-range attacks are enough for them to destroy most of the enemies. So there are only two reasons for them to use melee weapons: first, their own long-range weapons cannot be used for some reason, such as broken, and second, the enemy has strong magic resistance or simply possesses the characteristics of "straverse deflection".

"The second situation is obviously the most important countermeasures to be considered.

"Soldiers do not lack magic attacks, what they lack is stronger physical lethality. I and the rune craftsmen have eliminated the traditional scheme of enchanting elementals on the blade to increase magic damage, and instead find ways to increase the simple destructive power of the sword. The more common methods in this regard are physical enchantments such as sharp technique, aggravation technique, and armor piercing, but these enchantments are either limited in improvement or cannot be converted into magic circles for the time being, so we did not consider...
