Chapter 440: Cultural Class (Part 2)

——Learning knowledge and stuff is surprisingly interesting. I never thought that one day I would learn what the 10 numbers from 1 to 10 look like.

Darlene listened to the old man's lecture with great interest.

Although she still didn't know why their group of soldiers wanted to learn something that was not conducive to fighting at all, Darlene still listened to the old man's lectures with interest.

Learning arithmetic and other skills is a very new and interesting thing in the eyes of Darlene, who has never received much education.

However, there are only a few people like Darlene who listen to the old man's lectures with great interest.

Many people, such as those sitting next to Darlene, looked uninterested.

However, before starting class, Lindsay and other superiors gave them a stern warning to the new recruits.

"Everyone must listen carefully to the class! If they find that anyone is not listening carefully..." - These are the exact words that the superiors headed by Lindsay told them before class started.

The officers did not finish what they said, and stopped talking when they reached the point where "someone did not listen carefully."

Although they did not continue speaking, all the recruits had their hairs standing on end when they heard this.

After today's day's training, these officers have left a very terrifying shadow on their young minds.

Although there will definitely still be those foolhardy fools who are not afraid of anything and are not afraid of their superiors, the vast majority of recruits are still very afraid of their superiors.

Never anger the commander - this is the conclusion that most of the recruits came to after today's day's training, which was built with sweat and tears.

So even though many people were not interested in listening to the old man's lectures, these people still worked hard to listen and absorb as much knowledge as possible.

Just as Darlene had guessed just now, Lindsay and other generals were also sitting on the ground, listening to the old man's lectures along with their group of new recruits.

This group of generals was obviously more serious than the new recruits. Every general, including Lindsay, stared at the old man.

His eyes were so hot that they almost burned the old man's clothes.

——The officers are so serious...

While listening to the old man's lecture, Darlene also looked at the officers who were also listening from time to time.

Looking at the officers who were so serious that they didn't even want to blink, Darlene couldn't help but secretly sighed and sighed at the seriousness of the officers.

…

There is no watch to tell the time here.

Even with a watch, Darlene doesn't know how to tell time, because Darlene doesn't know how to read a watch at all.

To be more precise, Darlene has no concept of time at all. Although she knows that the units of time include years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds, Darlene has no idea how many hours there are in a day or how many hours there are. minute.

Darlene didn't even know when it was 7 o'clock or 18 o'clock.

So Darlene couldn't estimate how long the course lasted. She only knew that the old man's lecture time was enough for her to eat several meals.

After an unknown amount of time passed, the old man finally ended his lecture and left the room.

After seeing the old man leave, Darlene thought that today's training would be over and she could go back to the tent to sleep. However, she did not expect that today's training was far from over.

After the old man left, a young man dressed as a bard came in.

--travelling poet? !

Seeing the bard entering the room, Darlene couldn't help but her eyes lit up.

Not only Darlene's eyes lit up, but also the eyes of many recruits present.

The vast majority of the recruits are from rural areas. After all, most people in this world are farmers.

Unlike nobles and wealthy businessmen who have many recreational activities, farmers have very few daily recreational activities.

Listen to the stories told by the bards who occasionally travel to the village,

It should be the most popular entertainment activity among farmers.

Bards are good at telling all kinds of conscious stories, and the rewards they ask for are often small, so bards are very popular with farmers.

Several bards once traveled to Darlene's village.

At that time, the wonderful stories told by these bards left a deep impression on Darlene.

Since then, Darlene has been very fond of this group of people who can tell very exciting stories.

Before leaving the village to join the Knights, Darlene was looking forward to seeing a few more bards come to the village every day.

After the young man dressed as a bard entered the room, he gave an elegant salute to the recruits and the generals in the room, and then greeted them:

"Good evening, fellow recruits and generals of the Knights of Michael. As you can see, I am a bard."

After hearing this young man admit that he was a bard, many people, including Darlene, had a look of anticipation on their faces.

"Let us spend the next time happily together. Let's treat the next time as your relaxation time today. I will tell you about a great ancestor of our Britannia people -' There are too many stories about the 'Knight King', so I will tell you one of her famous deeds first today."

…

No one, including Lindsay and other generals, knew that there were two men and one woman patrolling the corridors outside each room, observing the situation inside the room through the cracks in the door of each room from time to time.

Among the two men and one woman, the woman has fiery red hair.

As for the two men, one was slightly older and the other was surprisingly young.

The older man had brown hair, while the extremely young man had short black hair and black eyes.

This young man with black hair and black eyes was obviously the youngest among the three, but he was walking in front of them.

While the three people were inspecting each room, the man and woman following the black-haired young man also kept reporting to the black-haired young man:

"Captain." The red-haired woman said, "The first recruitment of the Michael Knights, the 10,000 recruits recruited, are now undergoing recruit training at this No. 1 base, and they have all been integrated with us. In the 4th Army. Now, the 11th to 20th Brigade of my 4th Army are all newly recruited recruits, while the 1st to 10th Brigade are all veterans. "

Speaking of this, the red-haired woman changed into a half-joking tone:

"It has been more than two years since the defensive operation against the North in 288, and the 4th Army is finally full."

As soon as the red-haired woman finished speaking, the brown-haired man next to her spoke:

"Now, the second phase of the Knights' recruitment is almost over. Soon Mr. Humphrey will send over the recruits from the second phase of the recruitment. By then, the 5th Army of our Knights will also We can finally form an army.”

Having said this, the brown-haired man paused.

A look of hesitation and hesitation flashed across his face.

After a while, the brown-haired man asked the black-haired young man:

"Captain, I really don't understand what is the use of putting so much effort into setting up these cultural courses and inviting bards to tell stories to the soldiers? Will this increase the combat effectiveness of the troops?"

After hearing the brown-haired man's question, some intriguing colors gradually appeared on the black-haired young man's face.

"The reason why I asked Mr. Humphrey to help me recruit a large number of cultural people and set up cultural courses in the military to teach various knowledge is to enhance the quality of generals and future generals." The black-haired young man replied He said, "As for the reason why the bards were invited to tell stories to the soldiers, you will know later."
