Volume 2: Empire Chapter 203: Wolf Brigade
Luke got into the car, which still smelled like a new car. The leather seats were very comfortable, and the back seat was spacious, so he could cross his legs or have sex in the car without feeling cramped.
Sergey is indeed a capable guy.
But it is more likely that the Northern Legion turned a blind eye to the smuggling of such large contraband in the Tedega Hills.
Private Joe John sat in the driver's seat, and sitting in the back seat was Mr. Luke, the human strongman who defeated many famous barbarian strongmen in the Holy Mountain Strongman Arena and rushed into the final decisive arena.
He was also recruited by Baron Sergei to serve as the inspector general of the city's militia, the Wolf Battalion.
Private Joe John just looked at the officer through the rearview mirror and couldn't stop being excited. Think about the group of stone barbarians just now. They would kick a dog raised by the human race on weekdays, but now they are respectful to Lord Luke.
It is my honor to have Master Luke be the one driving today.
Private Joe John reached out and turned the key to start the car. The car vibrated and then died.
"Don't be nervous..." Luke said from the back seat, "Release the clutch slowly. Once you see steam coming out of the pressure relief valve, you can go. I can tell you're a novice, drive slowly and don't drive the car into the ditch."
"Yes, sir."
Private Joe John took a deep breath and restarted the car. The steam engine made a dynamic roar. After seeing a stream of steam coming out of the pressure relief valve at the rear of the car through the rearview mirror, he completely released the clutch and brake, and the car moved forward steadily.
The barbarians outside the car shouted and cheered, and together they sent Mr. Luke off to take up his post in the Wolf Brigade.
Joe John drove very slowly, and Luke was not in a hurry, so he asked some questions about the Canglang City Militia Brigade.
Joe John answered all the questions he knew.
The human merchants of the Holy Mountain attached great importance to this first military force of the human race that was allowed to be established by the Celtic Duke.
In view of the natural physical disadvantage of the human race compared to the barbarians, the human race's Canglang Brigade was equipped and trained like the Imperial Army. Not only did they buy a large number of weapons and equipment through smuggling, but they also hired a group of instructors composed of regular retired officers to conduct formal training for the Canglang Brigade.
Although the function of the city militia is to maintain urban security, the Canglang Brigade trains in regular military subjects.
Joe John said that the Gray Wolf Brigade had actually been formed for some time, and today was just the official formation ceremony and the collective oath of allegiance to the Duke of Celtic.
Luke then asked what weapons and equipment the Wolf Brigade had.
Joe John thought for a moment and replied, "I'm sorry, Inspector General! I don't recognize a lot of the equipment. Recently, a lot of things have been shipped in, and we have never heard of them before.
I heard that Baron Sergei hired a team of technical instructors to teach us how to use these equipment and weapons."
"What do you think about my sudden appointment as the Chief Inspector of the Canglang Brigade?"
Joe John glanced at Luke in the rearview mirror, his eyes full of admiration: "When Baron Sergei announced that you would be our Chief Inspector, the whole team cheered. You are our idol now. You have defeated so many barbarians in the Holy Mountain Strongman Arena. I heard that if the barbarians hadn't blocked the progress of the game, you would have been the champion strongman long ago.
You have proved that our race is not inferior to the barbarians in strength. Although we are weak as a whole, it is possible for a great strongman like you to emerge and defeat them in the arena!"
John Joe was extremely excited when he spoke, and even waved his fist to show his strength, as if he would be the next one to defeat the barbarian in the strongman arena.
The emotions of an ordinary Tedega Hills human couldn't help but infect Luke.
When he competed in the strongman competition, he had not expected that his advancement would cause such a big reaction.
Although through subsequent events and conversations with Sergei, Luke clearly understood the impact that the birth of a human champion strongman would have on the human race in the Tedega Hills.
But through conversations with Joe John, Luke found that he still underestimated this influence.
Zero is despair, followed by self- denial, acknowledging the natural disadvantage of the human race over the barbarians.
One is hope, self-affirmation, and the building of self-confidence.
If we had told the human race in the Tedega Hills before: You humans are no good, you are naturally weaker than the barbarians.
The humans of Tedega Hills would definitely say: Yes, we humans can’t do that.
And if we say this now, they will definitely say: No, we have Luke Hercules, he is a human, and he defeated many barbarians in the Holy Mountain Arena.
But after Luke wears the championship gold belt in the Duke's Castle, if he says this about the Tedgars again, he will definitely slap him and say, "Look! Our Luke the Strongman is stronger than all the barbarians!"
This is why the Celtic Duke doesn't want to see a human champion strongman.
He just wanted to fix the game, but he trusted the wrong person.
I don’t know how Baron Sergei responded to Duke Celtic, but since nothing special has happened recently, Sergei should have responded, “All done. Luke will lose in the competition due to the absolute difference in strength…”
hehe!
He didn't expect that a game that he didn't take seriously would have such a dramatic effect, which directly destroyed the foundation of the Celtic Duke's rule.
The novice driver drove the car along the way, stopping and starting, and finally drove the car into the barracks of the Canglang Brigade.
The barracks of the Canglang Brigade were built by excavating the mountain. All the barracks were built inside the mountain. There were three floors, connected by tunnels and stairs. The stones dug out of the mountain were piled outside and covered with rammed earth to become a large training ground.
Luke, who was visiting the Canglang Battalion's military camp for the first time, felt the completely different style from the Holy Mountain as soon as he got off the bus. It already had the atmosphere of a modern military camp, with great emphasis on military discipline and command execution.
On the training ground, several militia squads were receiving training from external instructors. They stood in neat rows, and each of them stood in a very standard posture, showing their high energy and spirit.
This is something that the barbarian army does not have.
The Barbarian Legion still adheres to the old military ideology and highly values individual bravery. The combat effectiveness of a Barbarian team often depends on the performance of the strongest Barbarians. Once these Barbarians are targeted and cannot exert their full strength, the combat effectiveness of the entire team will decline severely.
The military force of the barbarians is at the tribal level, and their discipline is even worse.
In addition, Luke also saw that the personal equipment of the soldiers of the Wolf Militia Battalion was also relatively sophisticated.
A set of lightweight armor with pre-installed slots on it, which can assist each other in equipping heavy armor modules in a short time.
The personal weapon is a thick-backed machete, which can be used for chopping and smashing with the thick back of the blade. A leather prop bag is worn on the belt at the back of the waist, which contains potions and individual magic props for use on the battlefield.
At the edge of the training ground, Luke saw several new types of war machines. Several technicians were explaining the working principles of the war machines to a group of soldiers.
In addition, there are magic projectiles, combat mechanical puppets , combat command vehicles, and logistics supply trucks...
Luke even saw a new type of magic energy tower that was being developed by a certain country and was still in the testing phase... a combat-capable, movable, large-range, constant-gain magic energy tower.
There aren’t many advanced devices, but it seems like there’s a little bit of everything.
Human merchants like Baron Sergei have been cheated out of a lot of money!
However, for the Canglang Battalion, a small military group with only a thousand people and only seven or eight hundred combat personnel, if they can make use of all these new weapons and equipment, they can still form a strength that cannot be underestimated.
At least for other barbarian militia battalions, it is a crushing level.
Of course, Baron Sergei's goal was not to join the city militia. He was aiming at the regular battlefield and to make achievements for the human race in the Tedega Hills in the war against the Imperial Army.
Luke's arrival caused quite a stir in the Wolf Battalion's barracks, and everyone was looking forward to the upcoming inauguration ceremony.
Luke, who entered the mountain camp, was told that Baron Sergei was receiving an envoy sent by the Duke of Celtic.
Baron Sergei left a message, appointing Private Joe John as Inspector General Luke's full-time orderly, and first took the Inspector General to collect his uniform and then to tour the barracks.
Get to know your colleagues.
As soon as the Baron finished talking with the envoy, the formation ceremony of the Wolf Brigade was held immediately.
Luke happened to be very interested in this newly formed human militia brigade. Since Baron Sergei allowed him to visit, he would not hesitate to take a look.
In the captain's office on the second floor of the Wolf Battalion's camp, Baron Sergei was having a conversation with the Duke's envoy about the future of the Wolf Battalion.
