Gou is a dark elf in Warhammer

Telankar sat in his seat in the classroom, holding a wax tablet in his hand, staring blankly at the algebra problems on the blackboard in front of him.

The sorceress in front of the blackboard was explaining a complex algebra problem. Her voice was clear and calm, echoing in the quiet classroom, as if it came from the other side of the world, with a rhythm that was somewhat irresistible.

But Telankar's attention was no longer focused on the warlock's words. Every word and symbol seemed to pass through his left ear, without any pause, and emerge from his right ear.

Today's class was a required course for him as a reserve captain, and algebra, especially these simple mathematical formulas, was his most troublesome subject. He couldn't help scratching his hair in distress, as these numbers and symbols seemed to be spinning in his mind, intertwining with each other into an unsolvable mystery.

For him, sailing and fighting were the focus of life, and numbers and calculations made him feel at a loss. When encountering a storm at sea, he would not only pray to Matheran for mercy, but he also knew how to deal with the storm with practical actions. However, these boring formulas were like an insurmountable obstacle that made him deeply confused.

"Everyone start doing the questions."

The sorceress's voice rang out again, like an order to all students, breaking the brief silence in the classroom.

Before she finished her words, the reserve captains began to get busy. The rustling sound of the wax on the wax board being cut became the background sound of the classroom.

Telankar raised his head and focused his eyes on the blackboard again, trying to see the complex algebraic formula. Each symbol was like a distant star, floating outside his mind and out of reach.

He tried to grit his teeth and try to clear his mind, but the question in front of him still made him feel extremely anxious. Every reasoning and every formula seemed to be mocking his incompetence, making him sink deeper into it.

Suddenly, he felt a gaze with a hint of teasing, and the tacit feeling made him stunned. Turning his head, his eyes met with Fergal who was sitting next to him.

Fergal was his new friend and roommate. Compared with his previous friends, he liked Fergal more, not because of anything else, but because Fergal could give him a subtle sense of security, a feeling he had not experienced since his father's death.

The corners of Fergal's mouth slightly lifted, revealing a smile that was neither funny nor sad. That smile contained self-evident helplessness, as well as deep confusion. Obviously, he, like Telankar, was struggling with the questions in front of him.

The moment the two looked at each other, they understood each other's feelings.

Telankar also raised his lips slightly, revealing a weak smile, as if facing this unsolvable problem, their mutual troubles had become an unspoken comfort. At least, they were not alone in this ocean of knowledge.

Then, he turned his head and continued to stare at the blackboard, and occasionally looked down at the wax board in his hand, trying to deduce the formulas in front of him one by one. Each step of the derivation was like embarking on an unknown voyage, full of challenges and difficulties. He bit his lower lip tightly, trying not to let himself be overwhelmed by these layers of difficulties, but the feeling of powerlessness in his heart lingered.

At this moment, the door at the back of the classroom was quietly pushed open, and Dacus appeared at the door silently like a ghost. His arrival attracted almost no attention from anyone. In the quiet classroom, no one noticed his almost invisible figure. Only the sorceress standing in front of the blackboard caught his presence.

The sorceress's eyes flickered slightly. She was surprised by the arrival of her nephew, but then she regained her composure, hiding the slight surprise in her eyes. The two of them exchanged glances, and reached a tacit consensus in this brief exchange. Then, she continued to turn on her idle mode, waiting for the students' answers.

Dacus just stood in the corner of the classroom, slowly scanning the familiar numbers and formulas on the blackboard. A flash of memory flashed through his mind, and he was brought back to the past by these cold numbers.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to his youth, when he was also troubled by these unanswerable questions. At that time, he was also working hard for an unknown future, trying desperately to understand the unsolvable mysteries.

The corners of his mouth involuntarily raised into a bitter smile, with a hint of nostalgia and an indescribable emotion in that smile.

At this moment, time has gone back to the past, back to those difficult and pure days of studying.

However, today he is no longer that naive boy, but a leader standing at the top, facing a vast and complex world.

"I'm your best big brother!"

"If you have any questions, you can ask us!"

"You want to drive a warship even though you're so quiet."

"Good! Very energetic."

These secondary conversations did not happen in this classroom.

"Sorry to bother you. Goodbye."

Dacus finished his three consecutive sentences in his mind and turned around gently, as if he had never appeared. The classroom was still the same as before, with only the rustling sound on the wax board and the low sighs of the students still echoing in the air.

Telankar turned around and saw the empty doorway. Fergal also looked up at this moment, and the two exchanged glances again. Without saying anything more, they each lowered their heads and continued to bury themselves in their wax boards, facing mathematical problems that seemed to never be solved.

Time passes day by day, silently. It is like the passing of time, day and night. It is also like an albino mule, passing through the cracks of chaos.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed since the last personnel appointment meeting. Time has passed unknowingly in the busyness and changes.

The first five-year plan is progressing steadily.

The reorganization of the army has been completed long ago, and the demolition work in Nagarond is in full swing. Every piece of land and every inch of space is being reshaped for the upcoming new life.

All walks of life are also moving forward in line with the plan, some are still in the process of careful planning, and some have already entered the initial production stage. All administrative departments have also begun to operate in an orderly manner, and the promotion of the education system is in full swing, with initial results. All forces are moving towards the same goal, condensing into a powerful upward force.

If we were to use one word to summarize the status of this stage, it would be: stable and improving!

Under Dacus's careful planning, all levels of society are quietly growing and moving towards a higher direction.

Of course, he was busy like a spinning top, and his time was almost filled with various meetings, from morning to night, large and small meetings continued one after another. Whether it was a department meeting or a small local work meeting, there was almost no moment for him to stop.

Just like the gears in a machine that never stop turning, every day of his life seems to be an endless repetition of similar work, with almost no free time.

The only time to relax is to soak in the warm pool, drink grape juice, eat snacks, and relieve the burden on his shoulders. But once the clock reaches a certain time, he has to go to bed to face new challenges and responsibilities the next day and continue to embark on an endless meeting journey.

Of course, sometimes he would skip meetings and go out for a walk, but he would not choose to go to a place without the constraints of power and responsibility to relax and release himself, but to go there with a purpose.

Sometimes he would ask Malekith to go to places like orphanages to see the children who were being helped. But more often than not, Malekith was not available.

Today, Dacus, who was wandering alone, came to the Nagor docked near the pier.

And then, there was the scene just now.

As the core of the Druki Navy, the Nagor has its own academies on this black ark. The academies on the Navy side are not divided into junior, middle and senior academies. They are the Naval Academy, which is currently used to systematically train captains, transform the wild experience gained through practice into a set of regulations, and transform the experience gained through practice into more systematic and standardized knowledge.

All of these cadets came from the civilian class. Although their backgrounds were not prominent, under the rule of Dacus, they were given opportunities. After passing a series of arduous screenings, they stood out from ordinary sailors and became reserve captains or first mates, and got the opportunity to board the Nagor.

However, even if they become a reserve captain or first mate, they are still far from the real standard of landing. This is just the first step to success, and there are bigger waves chasing them behind.

They must continue to work hard, constantly pursuing higher personal achievements and more outstanding performances in subsequent challenges, in order to finally gain the glory that belongs to them and become one of the foundations of the future powerful Elf Navy.

In other words, after they have learned enough, these candidate captains will take exams, written exams and... no interviews, and practical training.

The written test mainly examines basic mathematical knowledge such as algebra, geometry and arithmetic, and handwriting, dictation, reading comprehension and writing are also required. At first glance, it seems a bit outrageous.

However, it was not at all. This was the entrance examination project of the Great Ying Naval Academy in the Age of Sail. Daxus just copied and pasted it and reduced the difficulty, changing the entrance examination to a graduation examination. The test questions were not difficult at all, and there were no questions beyond the syllabus or outrageous questions. He needed qualified captains, not Olympic contestants. The questions were all at the primary and secondary school level.

There is really nothing we can do about this, it's because Drucci has such poor quality.

While you are in school, if you have brains and study hard, you will pass.

During the written test, you are not allowed to use dictionaries, and of course there are no dictionaries now... but a comparison table of uncommon vocabulary will be provided. For the math test part, the necessary tools will be provided, but no slide rule will be provided. It would be pointless to provide a slide rule.

After the exam, the results will be calculated, which is the so-called final decision. Those with excellent or passing scores will take practical exercises. After passing the practical exercises, congratulations, you have passed!

Your life has entered a new stage!
Go and serve as the first, second, or fifth mate on the training ship!
Ship? There is no ship at this stage, you have to wait.

It is a bit like the Army's shadow division, with a chief officer and several adjutants in normal times. In wartime, the chief officer goes to the battlefield, and the adjutants form new troops through the framework of the reserve system.

After becoming the first mate, these captains have to gradually accept challenges, improve their martial arts, learn to use positioning tools. In addition, they must also possess a series of comprehensive qualities such as leadership, decision-making, and tactical thinking, exercise their command ability, and cultivate their leadership style.

By the way, there is another test before the practical operation.

That is singing. In the terms of the game group, this profession is "Barcarolle".

During a difficult voyage, the role of the ship's singers is particularly important. They are not only the performers of the songs, but also the spiritual motivators of the crew. Whether it is a long voyage or a battle, their voices can inspire the crew to overcome difficulties and enhance their combat effectiveness.

Speaking human language adds buffs, sea bard...

There are four levels of advancement for a barque singer. Just as a woodland ward becomes a forest scout, a ranger, and finally a wanderer, the growth of a barque singer follows a similar path: from chanter to barque singer, to barque leader, and finally barque master.

Of course, it doesn't mean that you can't have a part-time job. On the human side, barcarolles are usually crew members of ocean-going ships, singing to boost the morale of the crew and motivate them to work harder. Almost all ships have singers responsible for these tasks, but they are not all barcarolles, and there is no requirement that musical instruments be used to assist when singing.

Under the special background of the Drukky Navy and religious system, the organizational structure on board is different from that of the traditional navy. Due to the shortage of human resources, there is no position of boatswain on the ship, and this responsibility is subsequently assumed by the centurion. For this reason, the captain and the first mate not only have the responsibility of command, but also serve as the ship singer, using their singing to provide spiritual encouragement to the crew.

This job should actually be done by the priests on board the ship, but the problem is... there are not enough people now, and the population has not yet exploded.

I'm not so extravagant that I can choose even one out of ten thousand...

Under normal circumstances, anyone can pass this test. As for singing, as long as you are not dumb, it's OK as long as you can sing. The effect is not important. What's important is to have this thing, to strengthen the faith of the crew members in normal times, and to raise the tone at critical moments.

If you fail the practical test, your dream of becoming a captain or first mate will be completely shattered. Don't lose heart, there is always another way out. Although the Naval Academy is strict, it is in urgent need of talents, especially for some middle and lower-level positions.

Although they cannot continue on the path to becoming captain, there is an urgent need for manpower in the instructor field. This may be another opportunity for those students who failed the exam?
Of course, if you don’t pass the written test, it doesn’t matter. Every student has three chances, and missing one does not mean complete failure.

But unfortunately, students who fail the first written test will be assigned to serve as captains of merchant ships, which means missing out on joining the army, but at least there is still a way out.

After three chances, there is really no room for another chance. After all, the Navy is a high-quality military branch, and the selection criteria are quite strict. Moreover, this selection is special and contrary to normal circumstances. If you don't have the quality, there is really nothing you can do. Just go back to where you came from and treat this experience as a bitter dream. I gave you a chance, but you are useless.

Darken? You are such a loser, how dark can you be?
Also, do you know about the Anti-Chaos Department led by Wettier?
In addition to the reserve captains and first mates, the incumbent captains and first mates will also enter the Naval Academy for study in a rotational manner. The academy provides them with opportunities to continue their studies, allowing them to continuously improve their leadership skills, update their command concepts, and enhance their theoretical level and command capabilities. In the end, they will be divided into warship captains and merchant ship captains based on their actual performance.

The current naval system has gradually formed an orderly career framework: sailor-servant-captain.

As the most basic role, sailors can become not only aviators, but also cooks, damage control officers or doctors. Whether it is a cook who is responsible for food supply or a doctor who is responsible for medical care, they all play an important role in maintaining the daily operation of the ship.

Damage control is even more important. Damage control means damage control. Its core content includes leading sailors to plug leaks, extinguish fires and prevent the ship from sinking, etc. It is responsible for the daily repair, replacement and maintenance of various tools and equipment on the ship.

These three professions are counted as part of the sailor system. They are not responsible for combat unless they are required to take over. They also do not participate in daily navigation work unless the ship suffers losses that they need to make up for.

On the doctor side, there is one attending doctor with one trainee doctor and three assistants. On the chef side, there is one head chef with five assistants and waiters. On the damage control side, there is currently one captain and one deputy captain, leading a team of ten people, and the number of new ones will be increased based on actual conditions.

In terms of career advancement, these leaders have no way to rise. As compensation, their salaries are higher than other positions and their treatment is more generous. In particular, when they eat, they can enjoy the treatment of the officers' restaurant, which is also a special care for these roles within the Navy.

At this stage, Druch's naval system is in a chaotic and unique transition period, which is related to the past.

In the past, pirates were sailors, and sailors were pirates, and they could switch at any time. When sailing, they were ordinary sailors, operating the ship or catching mice to eat in a low-key and calm manner. But once a battle broke out, they could immediately transform into pirates, holding swords and guns, and exuding a bloody breath.

The soldiers who stayed on the Black Ark all year round were pure combat personnel. Some of them couldn't even swim, let alone be sailors. Of course, no one stipulated that navy members must be able to swim, and there were many who couldn't swim.

With the establishment of the current personnel structure, all the guards, whether they were sailors, pirates, or soldiers before, must have the basic skills of a sailor, learn how to control the ship, play the role of a sailor well, and contribute their own strength during the voyage.

This situation is quite similar to that of the Triton of Asur.

Sea Guards are usually recruited from those Asur who show the most potential in the citizen conscription. Service may include being stationed on the ships of the fleet, guarding trade routes or patrolling the seas around Ulthuan. In addition, a large number of Sea Guards are stationed in the colonies, providing support to the local archers and spearmen.

Normally...these garrisons are understaffed.

According to the game group, after entering Triton, Asur citizens will become Sea Watchers, which is a two-and-a-half-year internship. During this period, they must learn how to become a qualified sailor. In addition, they must learn how to become a Triton, that is, how to use long-range and short-range weapons, tactics, and formations. Afterwards, they will be assigned to various places, colonies, or ships according to actual needs.

Over time, as their skills grow, Sea Watchers will be promoted to Sea Guardians, and above that, to senior officers.

Duruchi adopted a more realistic strategy. After basic training, the newly recruited sailors would not immediately enter the warships to perform missions, but would first be placed on merchant ships as reserve sailors.

Life on a merchant ship is not easy. Sailors have to rotate in batches. Sometimes they learn and accumulate experience under the leadership of Erwei, and learn how to become a qualified sailor. Sometimes they undergo more rigorous training under the leadership of officers, learning how to use weapons, practice formations, master tactical arrangements, and learn how to operate various complex equipment.

The purpose of all this is to enable them to eventually be promoted to a qualified Erwei, a versatile person who combines the roles of sailor and warrior.

The promotion system of Ewei seems simple, but it is extremely strict.

All sailors, pirates, and soldiers on the Black Ark need to go through layers of screening and be promoted step by step. First, they become captains, fifty-man captains, centurions, and finally thousand-man captains or captains. In this process, there is also a distinction between the chief and deputy.

So, Telankar, Fergal and their group got an unimaginable opportunity, an opportunity that only comes once in a lifetime.

The reason why the navy has a fifty-man corps, unlike the army, is because of the actual situation, which is related to the ship and the management system on board.

As for the boat...

Right before Dacus' eyes! (End of this chapter)
