Leonard kept his word, and Sui Xiong didn't have to wait long.
In fact, it only took him half a year.
In just half a year, the Republic of Northwest's national defense army, which had been specially selected for new training, had completed the training.
The reason why they could complete the training so quickly was, of course, because they had a solid foundation. The Republic of Northwest's national defense army was not only physically strong and well-trained, but also had a good spirit. They all knew what they were fighting for, and they all had the courage and determination to fight to the end in the face of danger. In fact … all of them had received special training in the "Infinite Terror" system in the temple of the Church of Void Space.
That training was specially designed for soldiers. Elements such as adventure were excluded, and the content was all kinds of battles. Battles with magical beasts, monsters, demons … Of course, there were also battles with humans.
In these battles, in most cases, the trainees could fight to the end and win, but if the situation was unfavorable, it was not uncommon to fight to the death.
As the saying went, "Death is the most difficult thing in a thousand years." After really "dying" a few times, in fact, death was nothing more than that.
Well, in the internal version of the "Infinite Terror" system, the trainees even had to simulate the scene after their own death more than once. The grief of family, the country and the military helping with funeral arrangements, honor and departure … The trainees would temporarily become the deceased living in the Kingdom of God, watching everything helplessly.
The effect of this training was extremely strong. Many people cried bitterly after the training, and many applied for retirement. And those who could endure this training and persist in the national defense army were people who had firm beliefs and were mentally prepared to "sacrifice their lives for the country."
Sui Xiong had once disguised himself as an ordinary clergyman and asked the warriors who had received training and decided to stay in the army for their thoughts. Most of the time, the answer he got was, "For the peace of the country and the people, someone has to sacrifice. If there is a need for someone to sacrifice, I am willing to do so. "
This kind of resolution moved him very much, so he specially opened a hall next to the main temple of the church in Void Space City, and called it the "Hall of Martyrs." In this Hall of Martyrs, the names and deeds of every soldier who had sacrificed for the country were recorded. Their families and descendants, as well as the higher-ups of the Republic and the church, could communicate with the deceased in the Kingdom of God through sacrificial rituals. Even though the efficiency of this communication wasn't high, and in gaming terms, it was a great comfort to the martyrs' families.
Ever since the completion of the Martyr's Palace, many martyrs' families had chosen to work nearby so that they could communicate with their deceased relatives. Listening to their words and looking at them, it was as if they were still by his side and had never left.
These conditions were impossible for other countries to achieve. Even the knights of many churches could not meet the requirements of the Republic of Northwest's National Defense Army. The reason why they were stronger than the National Defense Forces of the Republic of Northwest was that all of them had the power bestowed upon them by the gods.
Strictly speaking, the defense forces of the Republic of Northwest were definitely not inferior to the so-called "Holy Knights," at least in terms of ideological quality. What they lacked was a strong physique, the ability to cast spells, and more targeted training.
What Reynold wanted to give them now was more targeted training.
The training consisted of three parts.
The first part was to strengthen their physical strength. Reynold didn't hide anymore and directly displayed his abilities as an evil god. He used his godly power to cleanse the bodies of the soldiers who had been transferred for special training, allowing their already strong bodies to improve once again. Their already outstanding physical qualities were greatly improved once again.
How much did they improve? It could be seen from their diet.
In the past, the National Defense Forces still ate ordinary food, except that there was more meat and more fat in the food to replenish the energy needed for high-intensity training.
But now, it was not enough for the National Defense Forces to eat ordinary food. They often needed to eat the flesh of magical beasts and absorb the energy in it to maintain their physical strength at its peak.
According to the calculations of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, if all the National Defense Forces underwent such training, their daily food expenses alone would be enough to consume 70% to 80% of all the edible magical beast flesh produced in Dragon Roar City. For the sake of comprehensive nutrition, they might have to buy some from the Mifata Federation in the south.
Sui Xiong, of course, approved of this. Even Madam Teague, who had always been a little stingy, had no objections. The money spent for national defense was worth every copper coin!
In addition, this kind of training also consumed a lot of divine power. Sui Xiong, of course, would not let Reynold bear this divine power. Although Reynold occupied the priesthood of "Wandering Knight," he had not really become a god, and the divine power that he could obtain from the priesthood was very little. If he relied on himself, he might not be able to handle it.
Sui Xiong would bear this divine power.
Reynold, of course, had no objections. He had never been a person who would refuse pretentiously.
The second part was to strengthen the tactical system again. To put it bluntly, it was to strengthen the soldiers' ability to respond quickly and cooperate in battle. Of course, this kind of training had been done in the past, but it was not done well enough. Or rather, Reynold felt that he had done well in the past, but compared to the situation of the Northern Army of the Commonwealth of Gold Coins, he found that his training was still insufficient and needed to be modified and improved.
This part of the training took a little more time. It was mainly to let the soldiers familiarize themselves with various kinds of cooperation so that they could quickly form a formation and fight in any situation. It really needed a lot of training to be able to do this.
After all, the speed of learning was still limited.
In contrast, the last part of the training was completed the fastest.
The third part, which was also the last part of the training, was to re-master the various kinds of weapons.
Reynold felt that since the soldiers had to cooperate in battle, they should be able to master a variety of weapons. He was dissatisfied with the weapons training in the training program of the Northern Army of the Commonwealth of Gold Coins. He felt that the soldiers had too few weapons, especially the training of wearing heavy armor for combat. So, he specially arranged for this aspect of training.
In fact, there was not much content in this aspect of training. It was nothing more than preparing heavy armor and various kinds of weapons so that everyone could slowly get used to it. The army, which had undergone strict training, did this very easily. After all, mastering a variety of weapons did not mean that they had to become weapons masters who were proficient in all kinds of weapons. After all, the soldiers still had to be proficient in some things. As for other subjects, it was fine as long as they could be "proficient."
In the end, what that batch of specially trained troops displayed in front of the people was a powerful army that was as strong as an ox and as imposing as a tiger. They could handle all kinds of battles at any time and anywhere, and they could pick up and use any kind of weapon skillfully.
