Chapter 361 Soldrin's new mission
Three days later, Gao Wen, who was reviewing documents in the study, was interrupted by a rhythmic knock on the door.
He raised his head and at the same time he had already learned who was standing at the door by sensing the breath.
"Come in, Saldrin."
The door of the study opened, and the one who walked in was the high-level ranger with a shiny blonde wig.
"It seems you're recovering well," Gao Wen couldn't help but smile and nodded, "Has the last bit of residual toxin been removed?"
"It has been cleared up long ago, but the old druid always dragged me on the grounds that the cultist toxin is strange and unpredictable, and it needs more observation and testing," Saldrin shrugged helplessly, "I drink strange potions every now and then, and I also smoke seven or eight times - I always feel that he is lying."
"Of course he is fooling you," Gao Wen said casually, "I told you from the beginning. Be careful when dealing with Pittman. It is not an exaggeration to think of all the tricks you have encountered in your life."
Saldrin: “…”
Seeing the high-level ranger's stunned look, Gao Wen couldn't help but smile and shook his head, quickly changing the topic to prevent the ranger from being immersed in the state of doubting life for too long: "I won't talk about him, talk about you - how are you adapting to life in the territory?"
Since returning from injury more than half a month ago, Saldrin has been resting in Cecil's territory, but he has not been resting all the time. When his injuries eased and his actions were not hindered, he participated in military missions in the territory under the instruction of Gao Wen. As a high-level ranger with rich combat experience, he was responsible for training and guidance of Cecil's combat corps as a senior adviser and mountain war instructor.
Although his appearance is a little feminine, Saldrin's strong personal strength and his legendary experience of expanding territory with Gauvin Cecil still made this "interracial ranger" gain a high reputation among soldiers. According to the report of Byron Knights, the "Mr. Consultant" performed quite well in the army.
But Gao Wen knew that "idle" chores like senior consultants and instructors were not what Saldrin wanted. As an elf warrior, Saldrin was still very young and strong, and what he was looking forward to was specific military positions and tasks that could directly contact the battlefield.
As Gao Wen expected, Saldrin sighed helplessly: "I adapted... but it's okay. This land developed faster than I expected, but the people here are very energetic, and the soldiers are also dedicated to their duties. But you also know that I can't be idle."
While speaking, the high-level ranger moved his arm: "As you can see, I have been completely cured, and going to the battlefield is no longer a problem, so I want to discuss with you whether I can give me some things other than consultants and instructors?"
"If you want to fight, there is no war on your territory now, at least not yet," Gao Wen looked at Saldrin and said slowly, "But I guess you are not meant to be this. You should just want to find an errand that can move your muscles and not stay in the barracks all day long, right?"
Saldrin smiled: "You still know me."
"In fact, I really arranged a task for you," Gao Wen said directly, "You should have contacted the soldiers in the current territory - the Cecil Combat Corps, including ordinary infantry regiments and newly established artillery units. What do you think of them?"
Solderin observed the Cecil combat corps for a long time, and immediately made his own evaluation: "The powerful frontal combat troops, thermal ray guns and melt-cut swords can fight against any conventional soldiers and low-level extraordinary people, and the magic crystal rail cannon can destroy any city defense fortress, or face the mid-level extraordinary people head-on. If the conditions are right, the volley of those cannons will even be a fatal threat to the high-level powerful people. But this is only limited to the frontal battlefield."
"That's right, on the front battlefield, the combat corps can only exert their maximum power when the two armies confront each other," Gao Wen nodded, "We have equipped a powerful main force with magic weapons, but now I still lack some... special troops."
Saldrin's eyebrows slightly raised, and he immediately thought of his profession and what Gao Wen said just now, "I have arranged a task for you", so he asked tentatively: "Are you talking about... Rangers' troops?"
"It can be understood almost this way," Gao Wen nodded, "I have elite combat capabilities, can adapt to unconventional battlefield environments, are good at penetration, reconnaissance, and survive. If necessary, I can launch a fatal blow to the enemy's weak parts like a dagger. I need such a team."
As Gao Wen said, he thought of the "special forces" he knew in his previous life. From a certain perspective, the two are still somewhat similar.
However, in this world, due to the existence of extraordinary power, the gap between "special forces" and "ordinary forces" will be even larger.
The Rangers are elite combat troops unique to the Silver Empire, but they also have their own special forces in various human countries. Some of them are also called "Rangers", such as the Rangers of the South Gaoling Kingdom and the Ogure Tribe Kingdom in the West, and some have their own names, such as the "Rangers Force" of Tifeng and the "Royal Shadow Guard" of Ansu. These teams are elite combat forces cultivated by various countries.
Although each country has its own special forces, due to the vast continent, different combat environments, and different traditions of each country, the fighting styles of these "elite warriors" are also different. For example, the Kaoling Kingdom Rangers in the south are good at mountain combat like silver elves, the Augure Tribe Rangers in the west are good at concealing operations, the wanderers in Tifeng are good at magic and assassination, and Ansu's Royal Shadow Guards are good at sneaking halfway through the big sword with their hands and whirling the whirlwind slash...
They are all strong (confident).
"I thought the Military Intelligence Bureau you established was the 'Royal Shadow Guard' you trained for yourself," Saldrin said curiously at Gao Wen's request, "I saw you train them by cultivating Royal Shadow Guards - at least part of the method."
"The Military Intelligence Bureau is a specialized intelligence department, and the operators are better at infiltration than combat," Gao Wen explained. "What I need you to train is a combat force."
In Gao Wen's view, many military concepts in this world are in a relatively backward state, probably because the simple and crude supernatural power is too effective, so people ignore the details and technical problems in the war - no countries have an advanced, systematic concept of "intelligence warfare". Even the special forces are positioned from the perspective of "specially capable soldiers". The Royal Shadow Guard is an assassin, a soldier, but not a professional spy or intelligence warfare agent. Therefore, Gao Wen established the "Military Security Intelligence Agency" to make up for the gap in this area, and he has not yet cultivated the real special forces.
After Gao Wen's brief explanation, Saldrin understood the request of his old friend. After thinking about the current Cecil combat soldiers and artillery regiments, he said with a smile: "What you asked me to train is probably not an ordinary 'Rankers' army, right?"
"That's right, based on the current Cecil magical armament and some new tactical ideas, I want you to train not only a team that can fight more than ordinary troops, but a force that can deal with more complex battlefield situations," Gao Wen said with a serious face. "For this, I can equip this team with the most advanced weapons, allocate the richest resources, and even prepare them with special weapons and equipment, and they will also become the first testers of various new weapons - you can also discuss with Egg Nicholas based on your own experience and study the equipment you need. If the existing technology can be achieved, you can try it."
"Is a unit that is also experimental..." Saldrin understood Gao Wen's intention and nodded slowly. "Indeed, the magic weapons you created are brand new things. The popularity of each type of equipment can be regarded as experimental. It is also necessary to have such a special team to try various new weapons."
"You can select the best one hundred students from the Cecil Combat Corps for initial training. I won't help you with the training manual. I think the standard training process of the Silver Empire for Rangers is very good. According to that standard, one-third of the 100 people will be successful in the end. In addition, I will ask all departments to cooperate with you, including the weapons manufacturing station and the machinery manufacturing station in the "Disobedience Fortress" to open a docking window for you," Gao Wen said, with a smile on his face, "The name of this team is called "Steel Rangers."
"Iron Ranger..." Saldrin chewed on this strange but majestic name, "Are they positioned as 'cavalry'?"
"Oh, that's not-I mainly think it's handsome."
Saldrin: “…”
After the high-level ranger left, Gao Wen let out a soft sigh.
He knew that what he gave Saldrin was a very difficult task.
He just gave the other party a broad goal and a bunch of preferential conditions, but there was no detailed military training and assembly plan for reference. The reason was very simple, that is, he himself did not know how such a unit should be trained and formed.
Saldrin can only rely on his own understanding and experience to build such a team.
A unit based on the training process of the Silver Empire Ranger, carrying Cecil magic weapons, and also having experimental nature... Gao Wen couldn't help but look forward to the final form of this team. What kind of "steel ranger" will Saldrin create for him?
Somehow, Gao Wen was a little worried. He always felt that the style of the team's final style might be strange... But it's strange. In this world, there are even stalkers who swung their big swords with both hands to whirlwind slash. Can there be anything more challenging people's values?
While he was thinking, the door of the study was knocked again. Gao Wen looked up and responded, and then saw Hetty pushing the door open and walking in.
The woman also held a large piece of paper that still smelled of ink.
