Chapter 2 On the Military Pier
After entering the military fort, Carter frowned at the chaotic and disorderly environment. Although he had lived there for a few days, he still felt that the elf image he longed for in his heart had disappeared without a trace.
Obviously, various novels describe elves as beautiful and civilized, and all of them are handsome and kind.
At this time, the actual situation in the military fort was that garbage was thrown away casually, not to mention that the temporary toilet was also full of stench. Apparently no one had cleaned it for a long time, which forced Carter to take advantage of the situation every time he went out.
It’s time to solve your own convenience problems.
There is also a stone tablet erected next to the entrance of the fort, which records the names and positions of all sergeants, as well as the status of armaments and weapons reserves.
There are ten sergeants in Jundun and one captain.
Captain:Aragorn
Sergeants: Legolas, Lena, Lucana, Astolfo, Carter (protagonist), Lilian, Harkas, Wedel, Rumaka, Casso.
14 bowls, 3 stone pots, 1 iron pot, 4 ceramic water jars, 14 spears, a standard longbow for each person, 30 arrows for each person, one one-handed sword for each person, a military flag, and a flagpole
Two, and some post-mortem materials such as firewood piles, etc...
The names and birthplaces of a total of eleven people are written on this stone slab, which is equivalent to an ancient version of the roster in another world. Moreover, this roster is not easy to modify, and it is difficult to have vacancies, so it is very practical.
When Carter came back, except for Harkass and Wedel who were standing guard, everyone else gathered together and were playing a kind of card called Gwent. It is quite popular in the Inner Ring Kingdom. Recently, with the
The flow of merchants gradually expanded to the outer ring kingdoms.
…
The discipline of the elven army is quite lax, and some people have never practiced before joining the army. When encountering battles, they rely entirely on the archery skills they have practiced at home. Over the past few days, Carter has to admire these professional soldiers who are actually more
Elf soldiers like militia.
They wore the same white-gray military uniforms as Carter, but other than that, you couldn't feel any military feeling from them, and because elves of both sexes can join the army, these people mixed together very much like Carter in the countryside in his previous life.
It feels like the energetic guys I meet hang out together.
As the lowest military base, the Kingdom of Nagares was responsible for their supplies, but they were often late, so I don’t know which year the officers of this small military base decided to start farming, and asked their superiors for some farm tools and seeds.
Not far from Jundun, dozens of acres of wheat and seasonal vegetables were cultivated and planted.
If it weren't for the fact that the area is not suitable for breeding, I would probably even bring piglets here to raise them.
Therefore, Carter felt that they were more like militiamen in the past few days, rather than the regular elven army he imagined. If even the border troops had this kind of virtue (Note 1), he could not imagine a safer inner ring.
To what extent will military discipline in the kingdom be relaxed?
Except for the two people who are standing guard, Aragorn in his room and Astolfo who is basking in the sun, the remaining six people are gathering together to play a very popular card game in the Inner Ring Kingdom: Gwent.
.
To put it simply, this hand card game is about comparing points. Whoever has the higher points wins. However, in actual play, there are countless special cards and endless changes. Therefore, it is deeply loved by the elves. It spreads very quickly in the major kingdoms and gave birth to the birth of the card game.
A number of industries that rely on card production have emerged.
Of course, don't expect any good cards in this small place. They are basically some basic cards, so they are just for fun and killing time.
After Carter poured the water from the bucket into the water jar, he put down the bucket, scooped some with his own water bottle, and then returned to the room.
The previous owner of my body was a young elf who was born less than 30 years ago. Although he was taken care of by everyone because of his young age, he was not good at talking and had a weak personality. This made his status in this military pier not very high. He often
We have to do some chores. For example, carrying water was originally done by everyone in turns, but now it has completely become the job of Carter, the unlucky guy.
After returning to the room, he rinsed his hands with water and washed his face. Carter helplessly raised his head and looked at the wall above his head.
In the past few days, he has been thinking about what to do about his future, but he has never come up with a specific solution. This is the medieval Warhammer world. If the Phoenix King has not appeared at this time (note 2), it is probably in the middle of the war.
Before the first Chaos Invasion; or after the invasion, when being dragged by the Lizardmen to the New World and Lustria before they came to Ulthuan.
If it was Ulthuan before the Chaos Invasion, it would be okay to say that thousands of years of time would be enough for him to make some achievements. But if it were after the Chaos Invasion, he wouldn't dare to think about what he would do. The evil force of Chaos Demons
It's simply incomprehensible. The demons among them don't know their true names and are not dead, not to mention a group of fierce combatants. Sweeping the current Ulthuan is as easy as a special forces soldier going to the kindergarten to massacre.
The current level of magic use and military strength in Ulthuan are very average. An ordinary army can see the whole situation at a glance at Carter's military turret. Without rectification, it will at best be a force that can only be used to defend the city.
At this time, magic is only used in some civilian aspects. For example, the cities in the Inner Ring Kingdom are on a level that can compete with modern cities.
Living there is like being in heaven. But in terms of more important military aspects, it is less than satisfactory.
The long-term lax military discipline and training mean that the elves at this time can only rely on personal bravery or simple tactics to face the enemy. As for the generals and lords responsible for command, they basically get their positions based on their birth. How much do you want them to have?
It is impossible to have command experience. At most, you can let the archers shoot for a few rounds and then use the melee troops to fight this tactic.
After thinking quietly for a while, Carter found helplessly that if he really wanted to control his own destiny in this chaotic world, it seemed that the only way left was to become stronger. Or he could find a way to improve his personal strength and follow the path of "fighting monsters and upgrading".
, or else you need to follow the farming development trend and build a strong army. Currently, there are not many options for farming. Apart from elves, only dwarves are stronger, but these dwarves are very exclusive.
As for other things that can be considered, such as humans, their civilization level may not be as good as that of green skins because they are too weak. As for the lizard people in the New World, they are good but very exclusive. These 'sons of the ancient saints' have resisted the demon army alone for nearly a thousand years.
, but they don’t like hot-blooded species very much and are more exclusive. After thinking about it, Carter suddenly remembered another place.
The Empire of Cathay! When the people of the Fu Kingdom created the Warhammer world, they tried to save trouble and simply created it according to the real world, so the projection of China was Cathay. However, when Carter thought about it carefully, it seemed that it was not feasible. Wherever he thought, he had to cross the sea to reach the full world.
Nagaros, who is in crisis, will have to cross the entire continent and find a way to build an ocean-going ship that can cross an ocean on the edge of the eastern continent...
This thought is even more unrealistic.
…………………………
"Why"
After finally letting out a long sigh, Carter, who had been thinking about it for a long time, decided not to think about it so much. How to improve his living standard was what he should consider now.
Instead of thinking about what to do in the future, Carter has another very important thing to do right now, which is that he has to go home and face his sudden extra parents, sister... and childhood sweetheart.
Tomorrow will be his once-a-month rest. In three days, minus a full day of traveling, he will have to face his family in this world for two full days, which makes Carter feel dizzy.
After thinking wildly for a long time, Carter decided to go out and get some fresh air, otherwise he would suffocate in the room.
It was a little dark when he came out of the room. It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when he came back. After staying in the room for a while, it was already five o'clock when he came out, and the sky was already starting to get dark. And as a soldier today, he did not go out for any exercises.
I didn’t have any training, I just did some odd jobs.
Training? If you want to practice this kind of thing, just do it by yourself!
Captain Aragorn came out of the room. It was dinner time, so the captain who knew a little about cooking sometimes had to cook by himself, unless he wanted to eat Astolfo's dark cuisine or Legolas's vegetarian food.
Otherwise, other people basically boil it in water, and the cooked food tastes the same.
Legolas's archery skills are first-class. He has basically caught all the hare nests nearby, so the food in the dungeon is quite good. Occasionally, he can eat some meat and beat his teeth as a sacrifice. Tonight he shot a pair of rabbits again.
.
But Carter really couldn't compliment their cooking skills, even the captain Aragorn.
Carter really didn't want to eat any magical things like batter or boiled dough today. When he went out these two days, he found a lot of ingredients that could be used as condiments around him. He planned to cook by himself and use it to his advantage.
He inherited the strength from the big foodie empire.
…………
Note 1: The outer ring kingdom is more dangerous and often encounters invasions by powerful enemies. If the army here is like this, then the more comfortable inner ring kingdom will be even worse. There is a mountain range between the outer ring and the inner ring kingdom, and there are only a few
As an entrance and exit as well as an outlet to the sea, this canyon is quite easy to defend and difficult to attack.
