Not every type of milk is called... Oh, it should be that every knight is very good at fighting. Although Marin doesn't think that being able to fight is the most important thing, it cannot be said that it is not important.
After all, most knights start practicing martial arts since childhood. From the age of 8, knights start brushing horses, shoveling horse manure, and practicing basic martial arts. By the age of 18, they basically have ten years of training experience. After ten years of training, a pig can become an elite wild boar, let alone a human?
However, not every knight can practice martial arts hard. When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. There are a few knights who have neglected martial arts since childhood and have a very bad combat ability. Although they are definitely better than civilians, they can't get on the table among knights who have practiced martial arts for at least ten years.
Marin held the first round of knockout matches in order to eliminate these ignorant playboys from the Knights family, so as not to waste time when the truly capable knights compete with them.
When Kohler's spies recorded the words and deeds of the wandering knights, they found that some of the knights were particularly thin and they seemed to be shrinking. What is shrinking plate armor? It means appearance goods. These plate armors are actually very similar to the shape-cut plate armor cut by Marin from white iron sheet, which is very thin.
Generally speaking, people with poor physical fitness will find it difficult to adapt to wearing a full set of plate armor weighing at least 25 kilograms for a long time. Only knights who have been practicing for more than ten years and have good physical fitness can adapt to this weight.
But some noble children took advantage of tricks and asked blacksmiths to create a very thin and lightweight plate armor for them. In this way, if they do not meet the standards, they can pretend to wear plate armor and show off.
This is a kind of opportunistic trick, and it is also the weakest group of knights. Opportunistic tricks who are better than them are barely able to wear plate armor, but after wearing plate armor, they become weak like they are hanging lead.
So, Marin thought of a way to test the basic martial arts of these wandering knights.
First of all, Marin will prepare standard plate armor for these wandering knights, that is, a full set of Gothic plate armor weighing 25 kilograms. In this way, those wandering knights wearing corner plate armor will show their true colors after wearing regular plate armor.
Then, Marin also prepared a group of opponents for these wandering knights - veterans of the Beihai Kingdom...
These veterans were selected by Marin from the army. Their mission was to wear standard plate armor and fight against the Wandering Knights in an infantry manner. If the Wandering Knights could not even defeat them, they could be eliminated directly.
Previously, in order to ensure fairness, Marin specially selected the weakest group of knights in the North Sea Kingdom and fought with these veterans in plate armor. Only veterans who could barely deal with these weakest knights were qualified to be test subjects for the Wandering Knights and could also test the level of those Wandering Knights.
If even those veterans cannot beat them, and it proves that they are worse than the weakest knights in the Beihai Kingdom, then there is no need to continue participating. In order to ensure fairness, the veterans selected by Marlin are all those in the army with sufficient martial arts skills but not outstanding.
If the perverts from the Wolf Tooth Commando were selected to test those Wandering Knights, most of the Wandering Knights would probably be eliminated. Because the people from the Wolf Tooth Commando are all perverts born with divine power. They may not be able to fight horses, but wearing plate armor and carrying maces, ordinary knights can't beat them in infantry battles.
Therefore, the veterans who guarded the pass selected by Marlin were all the martial arts skills of elite veterans, and as gatekeepers. If even these ordinary elite veterans could not defeat them, it proved that the martial arts of these knights were too average.
After all, although these veterans are also elite, they have not practiced martial arts since childhood. They only started practicing some ordinary combat skills after joining the Beihai Army. Compared with those wandering knights who have practiced martial arts for more than ten years, they will definitely suffer losses.
If a knight who has been practicing martial arts for ten years can't defeat only a few years of soldiers and has practiced some fighting skills in ordinary military affairs, then the wandering knight's martial arts talent is too poor and it is not suitable for charging and rushing into the battlefield...
...
After the first round of competition began, more than 1,500 wandering knights were numbered and grouped to fight infantry with ordinary elite veterans.
Then, some wandering knights who usually wear corners and cut corners were stunned. Because before the infantry battle, they had to wear standard plate armor provided by the Beihai Kingdom. For this competition, Marin prepared a lot of plate armor, all sizes.
In fact, arranging your subordinates to weigh the plate armor worn by these wandering knights themselves is the easiest way to identify whether they are opportunistic. However, Marin cannot do this.
Because it is very insulting to ask the knight to take off the plate armor and weigh the plate armor. Just like in later generations, supermarkets suspected that someone was stealing something and asked the other party to take off their clothes and search it, it is very insulting to do so.
The suspected customers in later generations were all ordinary people, and even if they were insulted, they would not make any noise. But these knights were all children of nobles, and Marin could not insult them easily.
Moreover, the financial resources of each knight family are different. Some poor knight families may also buy cheap corner-cutting plate armor instead of their original intention.
Therefore, Marin simply prepared standard plate armor for the wandering knights to wear. Then, it was a mule or a horse, just pull it out and go.
...
In order to prevent these wandering knights from performing misperforming due to sudden change of armor, Marin also specially allowed these wandering knights to wear standard plate armor for one day after choosing a suitable standard plate armor. In this way, after the competition begins the next day, they will not perform misperformingly.
The next morning, these wandering knights put on standard plate armor and came to the field to engage in infantry battles with ordinary elite infantrymen responsible for the assessment.
Those ordinary elite infantry also wore standard plate armor to avoid being hurt during the competition. After all, after wearing plate armor, they wanted to have an iron can. As long as the head was not hit hard, it was still difficult to suffer casualties. Moreover, Marin prohibited deliberately hitting the opponent's head and crotch during the competition.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! After both parties wear standard plate armor, they start to choose weapons. The weapons are also provided by the official uniformly, and they are all oak weapons for training. For example, two-handed swords made of oak and two-handed hammers made of oak.
Most Wandering Knights majored in two-handed swords when they were at home. Therefore, most of them also chose to use oak two-handed swords to fight.
After wearing standard plate armor and choosing weapons, the wandering knights and ordinary elite infantrymen in charge of the test entered the competition venue, stood face to face, waiting for the referee's orders...
...
Western warriors have no idea of ​​taking action, so after the referee's order, the wandering knights shouted, holding up wooden training weapons in their hands, and rushing towards their opponents...
For a moment, the "bang" and "bang" sound of wooden weapons colliding in the huge competition were heard. At the same time, there was also the dull sound of wooden weapons hitting the plate armor, like the sound of iron cans being knocked...
...
"Crack--" A strong wandering knight broke the wooden sword directly, and the Beihai infantry who was responsible for testing him was almost broken and could not recover for a long time.
"Okay, you're past!" The referee quickly separated the two and announced that the Wandering Knight had advanced. After all, this guy is so powerful that it would be more than worth the loss if he broke the test soldiers.
But even so, a few soldiers tested were injured. The main ones were fractures. After all, they were wearing plate armor and used weapons, so it was unlikely to be injured. However, when encountering violent opponents, they would easily be fractured on their arms and legs...
However, this is not a problem. Because Marin sent two Mongolian doctors, Morigen and Bater. With the two, their proud disciples were also with them.
Mongolian doctors may not be as comprehensive as Han Chinese traditional Chinese medicine, and can be at the top level of orthopedics. Because the herdsmen on the grassland are very tough and injured when they fight each other or fall off horseback. With more treatments of this kind of bruises and injuries, Mongolian orthopedics has also achieved good development. Its status is a leader. At least, it has been better than European orthopedics for several years.
Therefore, all of these injured soldiers were well treated and would not leave any sequelae.
Moreover, those wandering knights who participated in the test were not stupid. They came to beg for jobs, not to make trouble. During the battle, even if they were very good at martial arts, they would not kill them. Therefore, the injured soldiers of the Beihai Kingdom were not seriously injured.
...
Of course, there are powerful wandering knights and just a scattered wandering knights.
Some wandering knights with poor martial arts and poor physique were very inconvenient to move after wearing standard plate armor. Then, they were eliminated by veterans of Beihai Kingdom...
...
However, Marin also gave these eliminated Wandering Knights with poor physique. What opportunity? The opportunity to be a civil servant...
The Knights were also nobles and had the opportunity to read and read since childhood. Although they could not compare with those medieval college students, they were already considered intellectuals compared with most civilians.
Of course, reading a book may not necessarily have a good level. Some naughty children may not be able to read it even if they have the opportunity to read. Perhaps, after reading for a few years, they still know nothing.
So, Marin organized a cultural exam for these eliminated wandering knights to test their cultural level...
The test papers Marin gave are very simple. The contents are mainly German dictation and the most basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in primary school mathematics.
German dictation is different from later foreign languages. It is not about listening to dialogue and doing multiple-choice questions, but about a pastor who reads the German version of the Bible and then asks the knights to write down all the words.
For these wandering knights, this is not foreign language listening, but native language listening! It is as simple as the teacher in later generations who read books and asked the children to write out related new words. After all, this is the native language.
As for mathematics, it is the most basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division at the level below the third grade of elementary school, without using four mixed operations...
The knights will fight in the future and will generally serve as military officers. Therefore, they generally learn some mathematical knowledge from an early age. Because basic mathematical calculations are required to lead troops to fight and coordinate and manage military supplies.
...
The reason why Marin picked people was so hasty is that these people were management talents prepared for the Earl of Wicklow of Adler.
Although Marin had many elementary school students, elementary school students were considered top students in ancient Europe and were in short supply. Therefore, Marin did not intend to send elementary school students to Adler. However, the Earl Wicklow needs literacy managers, so Marin simply chose the weakest literacy knights among these failed wandering knights, who could basically add, subtract, multiply and divide, as the civil servant of Adler's Count.
