Our family is in decline

Outside the training camp outside the town, there was a long line of people who met the requirements and were willing to join the army.

They were all full of enthusiasm, and some even lied about their age to want to join.

It has to be said that the date of birth of ordinary people these days is very confusing, and even I may not know my exact age.

No one can do anything about this except to judge roughly from appearance and physical condition.

But vision, strength, endurance, perseverance, physical examination...a series of tests will definitely filter out most of the water, leaving only truly qualified newcomers.

Lance wasn't the one who took advantage of him, so he couldn't give those guys a chance to take advantage of him.

After the construction of the training camp began to be completed, closed management was implemented here. These recruits only have one day of rest in seven days, and the rest of the time can only be stayed here to be filled with training and study.

Reckless and high-intensity training will refine the true elite. Anyway, even if there are hidden injuries, he will directly [reconstruct flesh and blood] when he leaves the factory. This kind of injury that does not damage the key is not very expensive, even for five hundred people. It doesn't take much.

Not to mention that he doesn't lack these now, what he lacks is-faster! More! Stronger! 50 yuan good brother.

All selected reservists will enter the training camp and be led around by veterans to familiarize themselves with the situation here.

The ten soldiers who had been with the team were left by Lance to help manage these soldiers. Although they were only more than a month older than them, they had survived so many battles and were considered veterans.

"Look, this is the equipment the lord wore when he led us to exterminate the bandits."

A veteran brought them to a set of armor, with obvious pride in his words.

The reservists looked at the dark brown armor, which was almost completely covered with dried blood. Only some parts could see the silvery white color of the metal armor. Just looking at it made people feel a blood evil atmosphere.

What's even more surprising is that it is covered with traces of various weapons. I can't help but wonder what kind of battle it was at that time. It was so fierce, and how the lord wearing this armor survived.

There was a two-handed sword standing nearby, with almost no intact blade visible on it. It was full of traces of various battles, and bits of blood scabs were solidified on it, giving people the feeling of drinking blood.

"Then what?"

The noisy recruits started asking, and the veteran naturally didn't stay and started talking to them at the top of his lungs.

"In that battle, the Lord led thirty of us and surrounded a hundred bandits, but those bandits were not vegetarians..."

Soon everyone was affected by the story, and they couldn't help but imagine the scene at that time, and subconsciously entered it.

When I heard about the crisis, I couldn't help but feel nervous. When I heard that the lord directly killed the bandits, I couldn't help but feel happy in my heart, as if they were also there, enjoying the joy of victory and revenge.

The strange thing is that when they heard such an outrageous thing, they didn't immediately doubt whether it was true or not.

But it makes sense, one has seen Lance fight against pirates, and the other has seen Lance rescue a convoy, both of them showed super strong fighting ability.

And a few even had some interesting ideas after hearing this story.

"I want to be like an adult too!"

When the veteran heard this, he couldn't help but smile at this boy who didn't know how high the sky was.

Many people thought this way when Lord Lord entered the training camp to train with them, but in the end they would all understand the difference.

"Who are you? How dare you compare yourself to the Lord? The Lord's story is far from that simple."

The veteran took them to the place where the training results were recorded. There might be some corrections below, but the number one on the top remained unchanged, and that data was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"At that time, the lord only used less than..."

Even though Lance is not here, his story continues to be told.

The situation at that time was that the armor and weapons were no longer worth repairing, so Lance simply built a room here specifically to store these things.

Honor is sometimes even more touching than money. Anyone who enters it will be attracted by the legendary story. His influence will not decline, but will only become more exaggerated.

After walking around in a circle, they finally saw the Lord when they gathered on the square, but at this time, they didn't know why the figure seemed to become taller.

Lance glanced at the mixed reserves, with a look of helplessness in his eyes.

The careful selection of 5,000 people can only go so far. There is no other way. They were all refugees who didn't even have food to eat before. I hope that raising them can help me get a few SSRs.

"First of all, I want to congratulate you!" Lance shouted loudly, "Congratulations to you for standing out from so many people and getting the opportunity to become an honorable soldier."

These words directly made the reservists feel happy. Many of them were lucky enough to be selected. They had a bit of luck and strength, and they felt somewhat elated for a while.

But Lance's words that turned around knocked them to the ground.

"But this is just an opportunity. It does not mean that you will definitely be able to join. You must withstand the test, otherwise get out of here, because my army does not accept waste!"

Now those people were all tense, not at all relaxed as before.

"If you want to be a soldier, you must do one thing, which is what I am going to teach you today - obey orders and obey orders."

Lance preached the rules of the army. He directly used the ten veterans as the backbone, and then incorporated the new recruits into the team, directly dividing them into ten teams.

Bullying over seniority is a very troublesome thing at any time, especially in the military. Bullying may even occur, and this bad habit will be passed down from generation to generation.

But Lance did not allow this situation to happen to Hamlet's army. Some mistakes should be stopped from the beginning, rather than waiting until they subtly become rules.

Lance emphasized this point. Military regulations are above all military systems. It is military regulations that can punish soldiers, not individual veterans.

"Remember, you are all Hamlets and my soldiers. I will not allow this to happen."

Patton didn't have a deep understanding of this issue, as he promoted non-commissioned officers directly from school, but Barristan, who had climbed up from the bottom of the ranks as a soldier, had a deep understanding of this issue.

He had been bullied, and he had also bullied recruits. No one thought it was wrong at the time, but now they reacted after being told this. Hatred was accumulated in the army, and then vented towards the weak, spreading continuously.

When hatred continues from generation to generation, how can the army be united into a monolithic unit?

After a good lecture, the reservists looked like soldiers, and then Lance was about to announce the final rules.

"Those with the best training results will have the opportunity to join my bodyguards [Iron Warriors]. They will enjoy the best treatment and face the most terrifying enemies. Only the elite are qualified to face it with me. Those monsters."

This sentence means that many people are ready to make a move, and no one will give up such an opportunity, especially the veterans who are even more excited than the newcomers.

"Start training." Lance said the last words, "greet your hell and be reborn from it!"

"Hamlet must win!"

"..."

…………

Lance stood at the port and looked out at the boundless sea. He had only been back for a few days. As he took action, the town's troubles were solved, but he did not relax at all.

His eyes stayed on the pirate ship. It had been cleaned and repaired a long time ago, and all traces of pirates had been removed. It could be seen that although it was a bit old, according to the inspections of the shipwrights, it would not be a problem to use it for a few more years.

But this harvest did not make him happy, because the pirates also brought him bad news.

After taking time to study the pirate captain's voyage diary and navigation charts, Lance discovered a very troublesome thing.

There is a place where pirates gather outside Hamlet. Because there are many exposed reefs and hidden reefs, large fleets cannot approach it, and large ships cannot enter or exit.

At the same time, the unique topography causes the water there to be turbulent and unstable. The seawater flows in different directions at different times. It is like a maze. Only those who are familiar with the route can enter and exit smoothly. Otherwise, the ship will easily sink. Therefore, it is named Shipwreck Bay.

This harsh environment is not suitable for becoming a port for merchant ships and the like. On the contrary, it is a unique advantage for pirates, because it is too difficult for the navy to encircle and suppress it.

Therefore, there are many pirates gathered up there, and it is also the place where they sell their stolen goods. The existence of this place threatens Hamlet at all times.

No wonder there are no ships on this route, otherwise Hamlet, a place that can communicate with the cities in the northeastern part of the empire, would be a good place and would not have declined like this.

If you want to revitalize the economy, you must open up the sea. If you want to open up the sea, you must capture this place and eliminate the threat...

"Sir, you are looking for me~" The old captain walked in quite cautiously, which was quite different from the cheerful appearance on the boat before.

"Are you surprised? I have a deep memory of some of your guidance~" Lance came back to his senses, looked at the visitor and joked with a smile, obviously referring to the accusations about the Hamlet system that the old captain had mentioned before when he was bragging to him. if.

"I said nonsense..."

Hearing this, the old captain couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. At that time, he didn't expect that this young man was Hamlet's lord.

This bad mouth of mine is really causing trouble!

"No, no, no." Lance put on a kind look and raised his hand, "I'm serious. Hamlet's decline is the result of many factors, but it is undeniable that it has a lot to do with the inaction of the lords at the time and the corruption of those bureaucrats. It has a big relationship, but you have also seen that I am not them, those corrupt bureaucrats were dealt with by me, and they got the punishment they deserved."

Lance admitted generously that there was nothing bad to say about this kind of thing. There are moths everywhere, as long as they are cleaned up in time, it would be ridiculous to be secretive.

The old captain only agreed submissively. If it wasn't for the things he had talked about before, then why would he be looking for him?

"Do you think Hamlet is safe now?"

"The bandits have been wiped out, the corrupt bureaucrats have been eliminated, and nothing can threaten the Lord."

"But it's not enough~" Lance's expression became serious and his eyes were on the sea. "Although the bandits were wiped out by me, the pirates still threaten Hamlet. Everyone is afraid of those guys attacking us, and merchant ships dare not come and go."

As he spoke, Lance looked back at the old captain, "And the reason why I came to you today is to rebuild the navy, so are you willing to return to Hamlet?"

The old captain did not directly express his position. On the contrary, years of wandering life had long worn away his edges, and he could no longer be as impulsive as young people.

It is undeniable that he has a deep affection for this place, but after so many years, that feeling has long faded. This place has given him too many memories, but most of them are bitter.

He is not sure whether he can take on this difficult task, and he also has another layer of identity.

"I want to ask Boss Walter about this."

"The boss of Walter's business group is not Walter but me now. It's impossible for him to disagree with me if I want to employ someone."

Lance's expression became solemn, his tone became serious, and he shouted with a bit of excitement:

"Their incompetence caused us to lose this sea and exposed the people of Hamlet to the pirates' guns. Those fishing boats did not even dare to go too far to fish, and everyone was afraid all the time.

I'm done! I want Hamlet's flag to rise again in this sea, take back everything I lost, and tell those guys who is the king here and who is in charge of this sea! "

The old captain couldn't help but feel excited when he heard this. He had waited for more than ten years and finally waited for this day.

"Hamlet Seaman Wilson reports to the lord!"

"good!"

The two talked a lot about naval construction problems, and many problems were solved in front of professional personnel. However, Lance did not expect that the problems were not small at all, and even quite troublesome.

Marines must also be sailors. They must know how to sail, which is somewhat professional, so it is much more difficult to train them.

Lance is not afraid of investing money, but he is afraid of the long cycle. He wants to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

Another problem is that Hamlet's navy currently only has this one clipper ship, which he captured from pirates.

There is a shortage of people and ships. To solve these problems, it is not money that can solve it, but money and time.

Lance also knew this and could only do what he could first.

"I'll leave it to you. If you have any needs, just ask me. I won't lack the treatment you deserve."

After taking care of things here, before he had time to rest, someone brought him a very troublesome news.

The pioneering lumberjacks found the bodies of Sam's family in the forest, but the family only saw one. The strange thing was that the bodies were covered with mushrooms when they were discovered.
