Ch.19 - Beginners
Ouyang Shuo returned to the Lord’s Manor, tying Blackfang back before he entered the office. Just as he sat down, Gu Xiuwen, his clerk and house attendant, came with two tall men.
One of the men was about thirty years old, and was unarmed. He had an equally spaced, wide and open face under his thick eyebrows, with a pair of sharp and deep eyes flashing as they looked at him. He has a very developed body, especially in his shoulders and arms.
Another man was in his early twenties, armed with a spear, and with a knife at his waist. His face was very attractive, with carved facial features looking like a sculptor who had carved it, definitely a handsome man.
Giu Xiuwen asked Ouyang Shuo about his health, and introduced the two men. “Baginda, these two heroes are two special talents who have just arrived in the village. They are a pair of brothers. This good person was Lin Yue, excellent at unarmed combat, an Advanced Martial Arts instructor. His good brother was a General General called Lin Yi. ”
The Lin Family took the opportunity to advance, their hands clasped, slightly bowed. “Lin Yue (Lin Yi) salutes sir!”
An Advanced Martial Master and a Basic General? Ouyang Shuo was clearly interested in this, and was happy to respond. “Two heroes, welcome, welcome! Today we welcome two very talented men, it is the wealth of Shanhai Village! ”He gestured for them to sit down before continuing. “Since you two have amazing skills, will you fight for our troops?”
Hearing this, the younger man, Lin Yi, revealed an excited expression, clearly very willing to do so. But the older brother was silent, not showing his inner thoughts. Seeing the older brother not showing anything, Ouyang Shuo suppressed his emotions inside. Clearly this was not an easy person to win over, and Ouyang Shuo nodded in agreement.
Lin Yue hesitated for a moment, then spoke slowly. “Open, I won't lie to you. I have the ability to teach boxing combat and some footwork, but I'm no match for the military. I've suffered serious injuries in the past, and the effects still haunt Me, I'm afraid I can't live up to your expectations. My brother, though stubborn, is also skilled in martial arts. If master wants, he can be formed in your army, and strict discipline will be good for him. He will serve you well for both of us. ”
Ouyang Shuo slightly nodded. This Lin Yue was an honest man, he was not just a simple instructor. At this moment, Ouyang Shuo would not dig any deeper about his history. “Master Lin has a disease in his body, it's not good to force you. This village has an advanced doctor, I'll ask him to provide diagnosis and treatment for you. In addition, this village will establish a martial arts dojo. When you have time, I should ask Master Lin to sit down with the villagers and arrange a class to teach martial arts to them. This will help them become physically fitter and will let everyone learn self-defense. With the wilderness nearby, a little protection could be of great help! I hope Master Lin won't refuse my request! ”
For such a noble purpose, Lin Yue naturally could not resist. In addition, the establishment of the dojo exactly in accordance with his wishes. “I thank God for his consideration, I won't dare to disappoint you!” He answered quickly.
Ouyang Shuo laughed, and then said, “As for Lin's younger brother, I think you will be an excellent ingredient for the militia group leader! I think with your abilities, you will fulfill my trust! ”
Master Lin bowed again. “Thank you sir! We will not disappoint you! ”
Ouyang Shuo took the opportunity to check the stats of the two brothers.
Name: Lin Yue (silver)
Identity: Shanhai Citizen
Occupation: Advanced Martial Arts Instructor
Loyalty: 75 points
Feature: Proficient in Fist Fighting (Improving Fist Martial Arts in the region by 10%)
Evaluation: Mysterious origin, once a famous warrior. Due to a residual injury, he was forced to leave.
——-
Name: Lin Yi (black iron)
Identity: Third Sergeant Shanhai Village Militia
Occupation: General Basics
Loyalty: 75 points
Command: 30
Force: 40
Intelligence: 20
Policies: 15
Internal Strength: Lin Family Spearmanship (total twelve types)
Equipment: Fine Iron Spear, Belt Knife
Evaluation: Have studied the art of war, practiced spearmanship. However, his temperament was disrespectful and unconventional.
The brothers are obviously a little different from each other. Master Lin was evaluated by the system as a fist style master, helping to improve the fist fighting abilities of the entire region. Such an ability was only a great help to the entire village.
Ouyang Shuo guessed that if he could heal Master Lin's injuries, he would become at least a Master of Martial Arts Master. For this, he could only lay hope on Dr. Song and prayed, but he did not have high expectations because he did not think an advanced doctor would be able to solve the problem.
Through these past few days, Ouyang Shuo has slowly realized that the system seems to have revised the rules to produce immigrants. First, the closer to the beginning, such as upgrading or starting a village, the more likely the system is to bring in special talents. If the village had achieved the special talents needed to improve, the system would basically only send more farmers into its path and rarely would there be special talents.
Another thing he noticed was that as the characteristics of the village increased, he could also attract higher level talents over time. One should know that the 1st grade village focuses on elementary school talents and Shanhai Village already has three high level proficient talents.
If other rulers knew this, they would die of envy. To many nobles, middle talent was not something they had, advanced talent was simply a truly ridiculous luxury.
Their welcoming meeting was over, Ouyang Shuo had Gu Xiuwen arrange a comfortable accommodation for Master Lin. He would bring the younger Lin to the barracks. As a basic general, Lin Yi did not need to change his class.
The fundamental difference between a soldier and an officer is the number of troops they can command. According to the military system, a soldier can only be promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, leading a platoon of 50 soldiers.
With 10 platoons, 500 soldiers, a unit was formed, led by a major, who needed at least a basic general.
Five units formed a regiment, a total of 2,500 soldiers, led by a colonel, who needed at least a medium general
Five regiments formed a division, with another 1000 men under great generals, for a total of 13,500 men, who needed an advanced general.
The 4 divisions formed a legion, with 10,000 men under the general commander, a total of 55,000 men. This was a huge army, and only special generals could command them. If you put a number of legions together in the legion corp, then only a master or a master-appointed marshal can do the job.
Therefore, the demand of the generals in any region would be extremely high. It is unrealistic to expect that your generals will be of high quality, if you do not have the strength to draw them to the service.
Most generals change classes from soldiers. The Intermediate Class Turnover Room could turn a level 10 militia into a rank 1 soldier. The soldiers have 9 ranks to climb. Rank 1 to 3 were normal soldiers, 4 to 6 were veterans, and 7 to 9 were elite soldiers.
Ordinary warriors had to advance steadily to rank 9 elites, before they could go through the Advanced Barracks Class Change Chamber and transform into a Basic General.
It was because of this that Ouyang Shuo paid so much attention to Lin Yi. When the two of them came to the barracks, General Shi had just returned. After Lin Yi reported to her new commander and talked about her history, Ouyang Shuo was ready to leave.
General Shi suddenly stopped him, saying seriously, “God, I have something to report!”
Ouyang Shuo stopped, slightly confused, and asked, “Oh? What happened?”
“One of the scouts just reported back to me. They had just returned from patrol, and when they explored the region, they accidentally discovered a camp raider! ”
Ouyang Shuo was momentarily shocked by this development. Raider and bandit, two scourges of the wilderness. “Did the patrol have warned them?” He asked with an urgent tone.
General Shi shook his head, saying, “They were not told. The patrols are led by San Gouzi, and they're pretty smart. They looked at the camp from afar, and had descended to monitor the greater force from a distance, sending runners to return here and report! ”
“Excellent, they do well, and we have to be careful! With our present strength, without knowing the strength of the enemy, we must remain calm and restrain ourselves. General, find out two things, the size of the enemy and their general strength. If necessary, go there in person. Another thing you need to do is take advantage of the opportunity to select troops for the militia as quickly as possible. The selection of troops will be our top priority in preparing for this fight. I will communicate with the village secretary to make sure this is done, ” Ouyang Shuo said very carefully.
General Shi was very excited, loudly saying, “Please rest assured that the patrol will return tonight to their camp. I want to see what abilities these robbers have. ”
Since General Shi was about to act personally, Ouyang Shuo felt at ease. The discovery of this temporary camp could actually be a good thing for the region. He can train a militia team. Killing the bandits would help them level up faster than killing monsters. After destroying them, there was a high chance of obtaining the much-needed building blueprints!
******************************************
The next day, Ouyang Shuo came online and hurriedly called General Shi into his office, eager to inquire about the results of the investigation the night before.
General Shi's abilities were high, and last night he sneaked straight into the enemy camp, conducting a detailed scouting search mission. “Sir, here's a summary of the report. The entire camp numbered about a hundred people. The number of the population fighting was around 60, the rest were some women and children. ”
“Fighting power is divided into 3 categories. First are the ordinary bandits, not well equipped, and not mounted, their strength is almost the same as our militia.
“Category 2 is an elite bandit, complete, with bow, spear, and horse. From looking at their stables, I estimate there are about twenty of these elites.
“The third category is their leader. There was one commander with a lieutenant, the strength of their leader was about the same as Lin Yi from yesterday. ”
Ouyang Shuo's face turned serious and said, “The strength of this bandit group exceeds my expectations. Even ordinary bandits are as strong as our militia. In a head-on fight, I'm afraid we'll suffer greatly. Elite bandits with bows and arrows are, to us, an even greater threat. It seems that this time we have to be smart, and not just invade them. ”
General Shi said with a hint of disapproval, as if admitting cowardice, “This is the end of my report, but I disagree. These bandits are not in my eyes. If I drive to their camp, I might be able to kill more than half of them .. ”
Ouyang Shuo smiled back at him. “My brave general, I know this. As the saying goes, ants can kill elephants. Going alone is too risky. If you fail, it will not be worth the loss. Although you have courage, the militia team, with their simple equipment, cannot help you in such a fight. ”
General Shi smiled. “Then, according to the meaning of the master, how should we do this?”
Ouyang Shuo calmly and confidently said, “At this stage, the most important thing is to gather the training of the militia team and form it. We will keep the status quo and quietly gather strength, wait until the right time, and attack! Of course, we need to keep our watch, and remind the others. Let's make arrangements for the staff if the bandits move. Moreover, we need to make the village defense work, to avoid any accidents! ”
