Rifle charge in Ark, but without a mount

Margaret spoke to Claude in front of her with an expression that seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

"Of course, believe me, Margaret, you will understand the importance of this regulation in the future."

"Actually, I can understand it now...but the key is this one...the captain must check the socks of his team members every seven days, and is obliged to collect any socks that can stand on the ground...are you serious about this regulation?"

"Of course it's true. This is actually our usual practice. Margaret, you still lack experience. If you don't write it down clearly, they will still slack off. It took me a long time to establish the military hygiene regulations. As soon as I diverted their attention, those guys dared to throw their socks under the bed and not wash them for a month. When they were as black as iron and could stand on the ground, they had already turned their dormitory into a pig's nest."

"Okay... add it in then."

……

"Then the next one is that soldiers are prohibited from going out after 18: at night without receiving orders. If they violate this rule, the relevant personnel will be held accountable. This should be an unquestionable rule."

“It is indeed a necessary regulation, and I have no objection to it.”

…………

Time passed slowly - in this huge conference room, not only the two of them, but also the captains of all the expeditionary knights gathered here. Their goal today was to unify the entire Casimir army and introduce an effective military system.

Casimir's wise men realized long ago that the country's traditional military structure was no longer suitable for this era. Several consecutive wars between Casimir and Ursus ended miserably with Casimir's defeat. This was not only because of the huge gap in national strength, but more importantly, Casimir's organization of his own army was far inferior to that of the military empire of Ursus.

So Claude used the military system of the human empire as a blueprint, and considered the actual situation in Casimir. He planned to establish an effective military command system in a short period of time. They had to discuss each military regulation, find out the unreasonable parts, and then delete and modify them.

This was a huge task. They spent a whole week discussing it in the meeting hall without sleep. The knights were on guard outside. Orders were issued one after another, and the army of the entire country was mobilized. This process would last for several months.

"All the judges of the National Council shall be dismissed?"

"There's no need to drive them all away. Although most of them are trash and scum, there are always one or two who have good points... As for the others, we should investigate what they have done, and imprison those who should be imprisoned, and kill those who should be killed. We should deal with them as we see fit."

"I agree that this country needs a sufficiently impartial judiciary, and the current National Assembly does not have that qualification."

"Yes, those fallen sinners should be punished. In the past, they could get away with it by relying on their high positions and power, but now they can't."

…………

These meetings lasted for a full month, and most of Casimir's remaining issues, big and small, were basically resolved. The military's swift and resolute style also made the reform extremely efficient. Casimir also thoroughly experienced the pain of reform and completely became a new country.

Claude rubbed his temples. He had consumed a lot of energy in the past few days. But this was a step that had to be completed. His plan would not allow for any worries. He was not in the mood to constantly suppress rebellions.

"Thank you for your hard work, Claude. Have a cup of tea."

A cup of tea was placed next to Claude, emitting hot steam and a rich aroma.

Claude picked up the teacup with a smile, and put two pieces of sugar in it from the tray beside him.

"Did you make it? It tastes pretty good."

Margaret also sat on the other side of the table, but she didn't seem to like putting sugar in her tea, she just drank plain tea.

"Really? I learned this from my aunt. I wasn't very confident at first, after all, I've never been good at this kind of thing."

"You think too much. This is just putting hot water into tea leaves. There may be a slight difference in taste, but it won't change anything fundamentally. I'm not that picky. This was a luxury item to me in the past."

"It's just ordinary tea. You should be able to buy it, right, Claude?"

Margaret looked curious.

"Knights and soldiers don't like to drink tea. After all, it takes a lot of time to drink it. On the battlefield, people prefer to use wine to numb their nerves. So even if it's not expensive, there are very few people who have tea in stock. That's why I say it's a luxury."

"It sounds like you have quite a few stories?"

"Yes, but nothing interesting. Just war..."

…………

Just as Claude was about to immerse himself in his memories again, Margaret interrupted him.

"Some people are too tired these days. Maybe we can have a break. This should be our legitimate right."

"Um?!"

Casimir's New Chapter: Chapter 1 Holiday Plans ()

"take a vacation?"

Claude adjusted his sitting posture, the armor on his body rustled, and his slender legs were crossed, one leg on top of the other. Even when attending a meeting, he still wore his armor. But what was different from before was that wearing armor was a solemn symbol in this country, and knights would wear their armor when attending important events.

Just like the captains of the knights who had fought before, they also attended the meeting wearing their armor, which also showed how much they valued this.

"Yes, I see that everyone is very tired. We must take some time to rest. There is no overly heavy work that we must handle right now."

Margaret said as a matter of course that people who don't know her well may regard this girl as a role model of ancient knights. She focuses on self-discipline and asceticism, and takes a critical attitude towards all entertainment. But those who really know her know that Margaret is not opposed to enjoying life. In her opinion, this is also a positive lifestyle.

And after all, people are not machines, and their spirit needs relaxation and rest. Any experienced soldier can understand this.

"You're right. Everyone is a little too nervous... I'll go back and ask them if there's anything worth recommending... Maybe we can have a week-long vacation."

Claude thought about it carefully. He considered every aspect with his precise mind and found that there was indeed nothing missing. After that, they did have the conditions for a vacation, so he nodded in agreement with the idea.

But he knew very little about this, so he didn't make the decision himself, so as not to ruin everyone's vacation. Anyway, he thought about it carefully in his mind and found that he could only think of messy things like tour group buses.

"Then I might as well ask Maria. That girl has been very busy lately, staying in the workshop all day studying runes. If she continues like this, I'm worried that she will become nearsighted."

"Maria is very talented. If she continues like this, she will soon surpass me. After all, I am only a half-baked person. By then, our military industry may even have to be handed over to her."

Claude scraped the bottom of the cup twice with a spoon. There was deposited sugar there, making a somewhat harsh sound.

"If your level is only half-baked, how good are the real masters?"

Margaret keenly grasped a key point. She was indeed very curious. Runes were a completely different system of spellcasting from Originium skills. There was no similarity between the two. However, they had broad application prospects. This was definitely not something that a single genius or a few people could create. It must be the result of the accumulation of an entire race.

…………

"There is a term in Yan Country called 'Moving mountains and filling the sea'. You should know what this term means, right?"

Claude did not answer directly, but asked a seemingly irrelevant question. After the girl nodded, he continued:

"......The masters can do this easily, and all they need is a bone pen. As long as they are given enough materials, they can forge a powerful army on their own. In just a few days, they can move mountains and change the course of rivers... Compared to them, I can only be regarded as the tip of the iceberg."

Claude put down the teacup in his hand and picked up the teapot beside him to refill his cup. Margaret looked thoughtful beside him.

"But even this little bit of knowledge should be of great use. I have high hopes for Maria. Maybe I've put too much pressure on this child..."

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

"holiday?!"

Maria took off her thick cut-resistant gloves and looked at her sister, who had found her immediately upon her return and asked her what she thought of the vacation.

"That's right, Maria, let's go on vacation together. We've been working so hard lately. If we keep going on like this, we'll become bald."

"Sister, you're talking nonsense. It's not that easy to go bald. I've taken precautions... If we all take a vacation during the holidays, won't it have any impact? Aren't many jobs important?"

World-weary Xiaoshuo QQ 锞扑扬修⒍气吧 Ling Ling

"Don't worry. There is no important work now. Even we have a lot of free time. Maria, you can rest assured and take a rest."

"So where should we go on vacation? Do you have any ideas, sister?"

Maria couldn't help but reveal an excited expression on her face. Although she said that, she was a young girl after all, and she was naturally interested in these things.

"We don't have a goal yet. We need to discuss it with everyone. We will be notified when the time comes. Maria just needs to use this time to prepare."

Maria nodded excitedly, but suddenly thought of something:

"By the way, will Master Claude be there too?!"

"Of course he will go, what's the matter, Maria?"

Margaret asked her sister curiously.

“Hehehe! …Nothing, just asking. Sister, you should also get ready as soon as possible!”

Margaret didn't think much about it. She rubbed her sister's head and left the workshop. Although it was only a 7-day trip, she still had to prepare as soon as possible.

"…This time, I will definitely give Master a big surprise…"

Maria's silly laughter could be heard from the workshop, but Margaret had already returned to her room, so she was destined not to hear it.

At the same time, the secret base of the Integration Movement.

Maybe it's not so secret now, but it's still well guarded by crossbowmen.

"What is a holiday? Is it edible?"

The words that came out of the mouth of the golden-haired Pelo girl were not at all unexpected to Claude. Ceobe asked the question with a greasy mouth while chewing on the roasted feather beast leg that Claude brought back specially for her.

"It's not about food, it's just about finding a place for everyone to hang out together."

Claude explained casually, then looked at the people who were staring at him.

"Okay, tell me what you think. I know nothing about this..."

After Claude finished speaking, he began to wait patiently for others to speak. Although it was difficult for people here to relate to vacations, Claude believed that everyone should be able to come up with a conclusion by discussing together.

Everyone began to think about it.

Casimir's New Chapter: Chapter 2 Holiday Plans ()

"For vacation, how about we go to Xista?"

Just when everyone was at a loss and Claude was looking forward to it, a voice suddenly came from the side, attracting everyone's attention. It was Yelena who was holding a book and was opening the book to show everyone. Claude clearly saw a few small words on the corner of the book: Old George Travel Company, bringing you the most beautiful scenery!

It was obvious that this was a travel guide. Although the content in it might not be credible, it was still very valuable for reference to the helpless crowd. Claude reached out and took the book. Everyone put their heads together to look at the promotional advertisements on it.

The more Claude looked at it, the more he frowned. This place was indeed a good place to travel. Not only was it well-known internationally, but it also had convenient transportation, a developed economy, and few natural disasters. The local mineral obsidian was even claimed to have preventive and therapeutic effects on mineral diseases. Although Claude thought it was nonsense, what concerned him most was that the policy for infected people in this place did not seem to be too relaxed. The infected people's movements in the local area were still subject to various restrictions, and most of them were infected people.

But if this condition is added, it would seem a bit too harsh. After all, the only places in the world with relatively relaxed policies towards infected people are basically Casimir, Chernobyl, and Colombia, which can barely be counted as one.

But Colombia is on the other side of the world, and its policies for infected people are more stringent and extreme. It can only be said to be slightly better than those countries like Ursus.

The others obviously realized this as well...at least most of them. Claude continued to turn the pages to see if there was any other introduction in the travel brochure.

'A trip to the Sami North, the most mysterious and remote northern scenery! ! Join the tour group now and enjoy a 7% discount...'

"There's nothing good about Sammy. It feels similar to Ursus..."

…………

"What about Kjerag? I heard that this country has never suffered a natural disaster, and its policies towards infected people are relatively relaxed. In the past two years, it has also been vigorously developing the tourism economy."

"Maybe it can be a backup option...but the facilities there are relatively backward after all..."

…………

"There's even Ursus... These merchants are really desperate..."

Seeing that there were tourist attractions in Ursus on this travel guide, Claude didn't know what to say. These people really value money over their lives by traveling to this military empire when that country is in turmoil.

But these locations were indeed difficult to decide, so Claude kept flipping through them, trying to see if there was a more suitable place.

As he turned the page again, what came into view was a large expanse of lush tropical rainforest. Thick trees several dozen meters tall could be seen everywhere in the jungle. In their shade lived other plants that were shorter than them but much taller than those elsewhere. There was no open space exposed to the outside, and all that was visible was a lush green color.

But the most eye-catching thing is a bright waterfall in the jungle, which falls heavily from a height of hundreds of meters and hits the pool below, splashing countless water. The bright sunshine reflects on the water, making everything look vibrant and prosperous.

This scenery was completely different from the snowy country of Ursus, and successfully aroused the curiosity of everyone in the Integration Movement. Seeing that everyone seemed to be interested in this place, Claude took a closer look at the introduction here:

'Sargon primitive tropical rainforest, experience the most primitive wild style! ! However, because there are many wild animals in the jungle, please be prepared for self-defense. If there are casualties, our company will not be responsible. Once again, we recommend you the latest anti-animal spray...'

Ignoring the complaining part, this group of people are certainly not afraid of any wild beasts, it should be the wild beasts that are afraid of them. But what is concerning is that there is no mention of the local policy on infected people, nor is there any wording such as infected people are prohibited from participating.

Claude put the book down, searched his mind for the situation of Sargon's country, and immediately understood.

There is such a suitable place.

"how?"

Claude asked this question without any context, but the people around him understood what he meant, so they all spoke up:

"Isn't this place quite interesting? I want to take a look too. It looks like it should be much warmer than Ursus..."

"It says there are lots of wild animals there, doesn't that mean there's endless meat to eat? I want to go!! I want to go!"

"That's called prey. It looks like a nice territory...Okay!! Cartaviars, which place should we occupy?!"

"We have to prepare clothes quickly. The climate here is too hot and we don't have the right clothes right now. Let's hurry up and buy two sets... Claude, shall we go together?"

"My Lord..." Faust was hesitant at the moment. He didn't seem to be too enthusiastic about this vacation. "I'd better stay here. It's just in case there are any emergencies..."

Claude knew what he was thinking at a glance. Faust had a calm personality, which was his advantage, but sometimes he could be too calm.

"I have made arrangements. Even if there are emergencies, they can be properly handled. Don't worry about it. Take this opportunity to rest for a few days. This is an order."

"As ordered."

And Claude also knew that if he wanted to let his old subordinate rest, he needed to give him orders. The old men in the Reunion Movement generally had this problem, especially Tallulah, who didn't pay attention to taking care of their bodies and were always thinking about missions and work. They did that before because they were in desperate situations and had no taboos in order to survive.
