Rifle charge in Ark, but without a mount

"I've rarely seen it before, so I'm really interested."

"But I can't let you experience it, Mr. Claude. We don't have firearms in Rhodes Island. That kid is an operator dispatched by Black Steel International. Only Black Steel International has a large number of firearms. After all, the cost of that thing is really too high."

"By the way, Mr. Claude, are you interested in guiding the operators? You are a very powerful knight, and it would be very helpful to them if you could give them some pointers."

Instructor Doberman seemed to suddenly remember something and invited Claude.

"Training soldiers... I'm very interested."

Claude nodded and agreed, then was taken by Instructor Doberman to the group she was in charge of.

To Claude's surprise, he saw a familiar child again. It was the girl from the Flin tribe, Rolanda, whom he had met at the training ground at midnight. This group had a total of 4 members. Rolanda, a girl from the Pelo tribe, Kati, and two boys, Steward from the Luper group and Andchel from Sakota.

Rosary was their team leader. The girl was also surprised to see Claude again. When she heard that Mr. Claude was coming to guide them, several people showed curious eyes, except Rosary. She knew the identity and strength of the knight in front of her very well, so she had some expectations and joy in her heart.

"Okay, soldiers, don't move. Now, starting with the team leader, tell me your positions and division of labor on the battlefield one by one."

As soon as Claude finished speaking, although there was no harshness in his words, several people still stood up straight involuntarily.

"I am Meilansha, the leader of the reserve action team A4, and I am the main attacker..."

…………

Claude's boots stopped only after the four people had finished introducing themselves. Just now, he had walked around them again and again with a penetrating gaze, carefully looking at each of them. Under this sharp gaze like a sword, several people couldn't help but feel a chill in their backs.

Especially the lively Pelo girl named Kati, her face was a little pale now.

"The way I'm familiar with training soldiers is not suitable for you, because your way of fighting is in the form of a small team, which requires extremely high personal qualities and tactical qualities. So next I will give each of you unique training. My time in Rhodes Island is limited, so you'd better be mentally prepared, because it won't be easy."

Claude's shadow seemed to completely cover the four people, making them look terrified.

…………

"Use your waist, hips and legs together to firmly fix yourself on the ground."

As Claude spoke, he used the training spear in his hand to stab the girl holding the shield in front of him fiercely. The flat end of the training spear hit the shield heavily, and the huge force transmitted made the girl grit her teeth and hold on, and the whole person moved back a few feet on the ground.

"Very good. Remember this feeling and try to achieve this level of defense every time in the future." Claude nodded with satisfaction. This child finally learned some excellent defensive skills. Although they are a little immature, as long as she can fully master this powerful skill from the Iron Guard, she can still become an excellent heavy-armored operator.

"Okay, we need to practice more and master this feeling thoroughly."

After hearing what Claude said, she collapsed completely, but she didn't dare lie down.

The last person left was the girl with dark purple hair, Rosa.

The girl walked up and bowed to Claude, appearing very well-mannered.

"Okay, attack me with all your strength. I'll see your moves." Claude smiled at the hard-working girl and picked up a long sword from the training weapons beside him. It would be a bit too much to train her with a spear, after all, the spear's advantage in fighting is overwhelming.

Rosary drew out her long sword with one hand, and looked at the tip of Claude's sword warily. She circled around the side of Claude's arm that was not holding the sword, looking for Claude's weakness.

When she got around to Claude's side, the girl's eyes flashed. She slashed at Claude's shoulder with the straight knife in her hand, but this attack was easily deflected by Claude with the strong blade of the long knife in his hand, and the action he made was just a slight movement of his wrist.

"Come on, attack boldly." He continued to encourage.

The girl launched a violent slashing attack with the straight knife in her hand, but Claude calmly took them one by one without launching a counterattack.

This situation continued until the girl launched an upper slash, and Claude used the training sword in his hand to push the blade aside, and then the blade slashed along the opponent's blade towards her fingers. Rosary wanted to react, but she used all her strength in the slash just now, which made her body stiff.

She managed to hold her sword sideways to block the attack, but the long sword in Claude's hand bounced off the blade like a snake and deftly hit her throat. It was only then that she realized that she had been "killed in battle."

Claude put away the training sword in his hand, organized his words slightly, and then spoke.

"Remember, you can't use your full strength in any attack, because you are not sure whether the enemy can take it. If the opponent takes it and has some strength left or dodges it, you will be in great danger. When swinging a sword, you must keep 30% of your strength for changes and responses."

Rosalin nodded seriously and took note of the other party's teachings.

"Also, install a blade guard on your sword. Otherwise, it won't be able to protect your fingers, and you'll be in big trouble if you meet an expert."

Looking at the opponent's unprotected straight knife, Claude reminded her again. Especially since she was not wearing any hand protection, if it was a life-and-death fight, he could easily cut off her fingers just now.

…………

Before he knew it, an afternoon had passed and Claude had successfully completed the training of Rosalina.

"One last suggestion, you could try wearing some light armor."

Clad put away his sword and looked at Rosalina.

"I know you're taking the swift route, but now there are very light armors, and not all armors will seriously affect your movements. On the battlefield, heavy armor is always more advantageous than light armor. If you encounter special circumstances, you can take off the armor to keep yourself light. No one can guarantee that you won't be hit by stray bullets on the battlefield, and this difference can sometimes save your life."

Rosalina nodded seriously. She could feel that these suggestions were very useful. Just hearing them made her agree with them from the bottom of her heart.

Claude smiled. The operators on Rhodes Island were basically willing to work hard in training. Even the kid Kati, although he complained a lot, he still persisted.

"Okay, you can all disperse. Remember what I told you. It's all useful."

With a gentle clap of his hands, he dismissed these young people and told them to hurry to eat. He watched these young people with sore backs and legs supporting each other as they walked towards the cafeteria.

Claude also tidied himself up. He was used to keeping his appearance neat at all times, unless he was on the battlefield.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Ceobe was eating voraciously, stuffing the bread and meat from the plate into her mouth, then washing them down with vegetable soup, her mouth full of food, her cheeks bulging, looking like a little squirrel.

The child was always focused when eating, and almost nothing could disturb her. The three of them still ate together, and all the food was placed on three large plates.

Ceobe only shares food with her friends. She is always wary of strangers. This is due to her past life. Being able to eat is the happiest thing for her.

Among the three plates, most of them were meat, which was prepared by Claude and Xiao Ke. The other plate contained some vegetable salad and dessert, which was prepared by Xintelaiya. The combination of the two things gave a feeling of a combination of meat and vegetables, and it was no longer greasy to eat.

Claude chewed a juicy steak, savoring its delicious taste.

……

The setting sun outside the window enveloped the three of them in a golden glow.

The Rise of the Integration Movement: Chapter 68: Teaching of Runes

Under Claude's deft hands, the bone needle drew precise tracks on the clay. As the bone needle passed, the traces began to glow until the last stroke was completed. The entire pattern was completely connected and began to emit a dazzling blue light.

When the light faded, Claude picked up the clay tablet from the table and knocked it against the table twice. However, the originally brittle clay tablet only made two dull sounds, without any signs of breaking. In his hands, it was as tough as a piece of wood. Claude held both sides of the clay tablet with both hands and then tried to pry it apart. It was not until the force he applied reached a critical value that the clay tablet broke with a bang, making a violent crisp sound. The runes on it broke into two halves, and the entire clay tablet suddenly turned into dirt and fell from his hands.

"This is the most basic fixed rune. It is used for temporary reinforcement, but it also has a certain effect. Its meaning is stability and connection. Many subsequent runes will use it. It is the most basic knowledge."

Sitting at the table, Xinteleya showed a look of realization.

"Is this what's printed on your armor?"

He was referring to a complex pattern on Claude's breastplate. A closer look revealed that it was made up of countless small runes. It looked very delicate, but he didn't expect it to have such an effect. For a while, Claude would carve on his armor every night with tools. Now, his armor is covered with patterns, which now seem to be runes.

"You observed very carefully. It is indeed this rune. They will be more effective when connected together. But I said before that the use of runes requires the support of mental power. Linking a large number of the same runes can greatly improve their effects, but the mental power required will also increase greatly. If you do this rashly, you will add unnecessary burden to yourself."

Crade shook off the dirt on his hands and swept the garbage on the ground into the trash can. Then he picked up a clay tablet from the side. This was made with the clay he bought. He used this to practice runes. Not only can he observe the effect of the runes intuitively, but it is also very cheap.

"Okay, you two come and give it a try. Remember what I told you. When you draw each stroke, you must put your spiritual power into it, just like when you use the Originium technique. You must draw accurately. There are marks drawn by me on it, and you can follow this."

It wasn't just Cintria sitting at the table. Ceobe was also sitting there, looking at Claude with confused eyes. She was forced to come over by Cintria, who said that she also wanted the child to learn something.

They held tools in their hands and tried to carve on the clay tablet. But the process was very difficult. Although there were already marks drawn by Claude on it, they still couldn't inject their own mental power and strength into it, so no matter how they drew, it was just an ordinary pattern.

But Claude was not worried, he knew that this was a difficult process, and countless imperial people had never been able to do this in their entire lives. He was not sure if his companions had this talent, but he still wanted to try his best. If he succeeded, he wanted to pass on this technology to the integration movement.

Cintrea was fine, as her precise control as a sharpshooter allowed her to accurately draw every mark with the tool in her hand, but Ceobe had some difficulties, as she simply could not understand what this was for, and only listened to Claude's words and worked hard to carve on the clay tablet.

The two of them spent a long time concentrating, until their attention began to scatter. After all, this was a very brain-consuming activity. Ceobe's eyes began to circle, and she was swaying, looking like she could fall down at any time. Claude stopped them at the right time and let them rest for a while.

There was still a plate of honey cakes on the table. This was Xiaoke's favorite food. Claude also learned how to make it. He learned how to make authentic Minoan-style honey cakes from Miss Vulcan. Several people ate this sweet snack quietly, and time seemed to slow down.

Xinteleya rubbed her temple with her thumb while eating a piece of honey cake, looking very exhausted.

Ceobe rarely ate in a hurry, but ate at a normal speed, and she seemed to enjoy this moment. She carefully caught the crumbs that fell from the crispy shell of the honey cake, and then ate them together with the last bite of honey cake. Her ears trembled because of her joy.

Claude was tall and had long arms. He lay on the chair and could reach the honey cake with his hands, feeling the taste of this crispy and sweet snack melting in his mouth.

The plate of honey cakes was quickly eaten up, and Claude clapped his hands and stood up.

"Okay, enough rest, let's continue."

Keobe's ears twitched as if she had heard something very scary. Hinterea also showed a trace of distress on her face.

"Okay, stop complaining. We'll just draw the simplest one this time."

As he spoke, Claude drew two overlapping circles on the clay tablet. This was the simplest shape. It was also the one he used for Keobe when she passed Casimir's security check.

After drawing the shape, Claude tapped it lightly with the bone needle in his hand. Blue light overflowed from the pattern, and that area immediately disappeared from their eyes, just like a hole in the clay tablet.

"Okay, this should be easier. Our goal for this week is to successfully draw this."

Looking at the clay tablet in front of her, thinking that she would have to live like this for another week, Ceobe stood up and tried to escape from the room, but Claude grabbed her by the back of her collar, dragged her back, and pressed her onto the stool.

"Well, it's good for you to learn more. You haven't learned anything before, so you can't relax now, or you will completely lose the opportunity to learn."

……

It was not until lunch time that Ceobe staggered out of the room, feeling dizzy. A purple-haired Sarkaz girl passing by looked at Ceobe while holding her staff, and asked curiously.

"Xiao Ke, what's wrong with you?"

"Uh... the intersection area between the two circles... cannot exceed 1/3..."

Ceobe walked past her in a daze, looking as if her soul had been sucked out of her.

Fleur looked at Mr. Claude's room and felt that the door behind it was the entrance to the demon world. She shuddered and turned around to follow Ceob.

Especially after hearing the sound of the door opening behind her, she walked even faster.

Claude came out and looked at the confused child and couldn't help laughing.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The afternoon was a break, and Claude didn't want to push them too hard during this rare leisure time. They all had their own things to do, so Claude could only wander around alone.

He had a high level of authority here, and except for some confidential places, he could basically reach other places. In a narrow passage, he found a rather special place.

This place only had a small door with a wooden sign next to it saying some drinks and food. It looked like a restaurant and had no name, but it piqued Claude's interest.

Gently pushing open the small door, the bell on the door made a crisp sound, which immediately drew the attention of the people inside.

A tall, black-haired Filin woman saw Claude, raised her hand and greeted him, looking as if she knew him.

"Mr. Claude, it's amazing that you found this place."

"It's just a coincidence. What are your names?"

Claude lifted his cloak and sat on an empty chair at the bar. He looked at the people next to him. They were all elite operators of Rhodes Island, as could be seen from their badges.

"Mr. Claude, you can call me Ace. That's my code name."

A middle-aged man with sunglasses, a beard and a resolute expression said to Claude.

"My name is Scout, and I'm their companion."

The Sarkaz man wearing a cowboy hat introduced himself to Claude.

"And me, Mr. Claude, you can call me Huang. Everyone calls me that." The Filin woman with long black hair showed a hearty smile and raised her glass to Claude.

"My name is Claude. There should be no need for a detailed introduction. I think everyone knows me." Claude reached out and took off his helmet and placed it on the bar.

"Of course Mr. Claude, you are very famous here. We were just talking about you." Huang drank the beer in his hand in one breath and put it on the bar.

Claude waved to the bartender and asked for a beer, but the glass was really big, almost the size of a human head.

"Oh, I'm a little interested. Can you tell me what you talked about, Miss Huang?"

"Nothing much. We were mainly talking about the results of your medical examination, Mr. Claude. It really surprised us."

“Do so many people know the results of the physical examination?”

Claude was a little surprised.

"Of course, the people in the medical department spread the news. Now almost everyone on the island knows that there is a person who broke the test equipment with the strength of his arms and got the highest score ever on the thinking ability test."

"Speaking of which, Mr. Claude, why are you always wearing a helmet? If it weren't for your armor when you came in just now, I almost didn't recognize you."

Claude took two sips of beer, feeling the stimulating taste in his mouth gradually subside.

"There's no particular reason. It's mainly because the enemies I dealt with before were very good at long-range sniping, so I developed this habit."

The Rise of the Reunion: Chapter 69: Rhodes Island's Plan

Claude was a bit troubled looking at the huge wine glass in front of him. His principle was to drink only one glass of wine a day, but generally speaking, the amount of wine in one glass would not be particularly exaggerated. But for some reason, the wine glass in Rhodes Island was so big, equivalent to three or four ordinary glasses. But he didn't have the habit of wasting, so he made up his mind to finish it.

After asking the bartender for some snacks, Claude continued chatting with the elite operators next to him.

"A chain saw? It's a rare weapon indeed. The center of gravity of this weapon is probably too far forward. How can we solve the problem of debris getting stuck in the teeth?"

Claude was indeed very interested, because the chainsaw is a tool, and if it is used to chop down enemies, two problems must be solved. One is that the chainsaw, because it is driven by a motor, requires a lot of space to place, which will cause it to be much heavier than ordinary weapons and have a weird center of gravity.
