Wizard: I have ten trillion nanomachines

The training for new recruits was very intense. After waking up at dawn by bugle call, they would undergo physical training.

One hundred new recruits were lined up at the edge of the training field. Gray stood at the very front of the line, his 1.85-meter figure like an iron tower in the morning mist.

First, we lined up in formation, and then we ran 1 kilometer.

"Whoever falls behind gets a beating!" Gray's roar echoed as the recruits immediately sprang into action.

Luo Kunlun followed in the middle of the group, his nanomachines quietly activating to adjust his breathing rhythm and pace in real time.

His physical fitness level is close to 1, which is already far superior to other teenagers. With the help of mechanical assistance, he can easily maintain a position in the top three of the team.

As for why he didn't run to the front, it was because there was no need, even though it would have been easy for him.

Afterwards, we went to collect the training spears, which were about 2.5 meters long and made of beech wood, making them tough and not easily broken.

It is about 3 centimeters in diameter, with a diamond-shaped iron tip. It is 15 centimeters long and only the edges are sharpened. It does not require excessive forging to reduce costs.

It is lightweight, weighing around 3 kilograms.

Of course, this applies to Luo Kunlun, but it may not apply to other teenagers.

After receiving the spear, you practice basic spear techniques, led by veteran soldiers. If your movements are not standard, you will be corrected with a wooden stick.

"How many times have I told you? When you hold the spear, your hands should be shoulder-width apart!" A wooden stick struck a boy's arm, causing him to flinch in pain, and the spear shaft immediately tilted.

"If you fucking let me point it out again, I'll tie you up with a rope!" the old soldier with the wooden stick yelled rudely at the boy.

There are many cases like this. After all, they are beginners, and teenagers are not physically fit. Their scores are generally between 0.5 and 0.6, and even the best performers only get close to 0.7.

With prolonged training, physical fitness declines, and naturally, problems with movements will arise.

However, Luo Kunlun was not among them.

His physical abilities far surpassed those of other teenagers, and with the assistance of nanomachines that scanned and recorded his basic movements and transmitted them directly to his brain, his movements were naturally as precise as could be.

"Not bad." Jack, who was in charge of Luo Kunlun's group, was quite pleased to see this. "If everyone were like you, it would save a lot of trouble."

"You should all learn from Loren; you get beaten up much less often!"

After lunch, we rested for an hour, then practiced strength training, spear formation, and 10-person squads, practicing advancing, turning, and thrusting coordination.

Sometimes there are night training sessions, but they are rare because it is winter now; most of the time, it is nighttime guard duty and patrols.

At first, the veterans led the way, but after a while, the new recruits were allowed to do things on their own.

Time flies, and four months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Winter goes and spring comes.

After four months of training, the recruits have become quite proficient, and their physical fitness has greatly improved thanks to ample food and training.

The scans showed that the physical fitness scores of the new recruits were generally around 0.8, with some of the top performers even reaching 0.9.

As for Luo Kunlun, his physical fitness has reached 1.7, second only to Gray, who is born with superhuman strength!

The significant improvement in physical fitness over four months is naturally due to the nanomachines.

This is a subtle modification and enhancement of the body, far superior to physical training.

In addition, with ample food and training, as well as the effects of nanomachines, the body is also growing taller.

The physical deficiencies of the past are slowly being replenished.

Originally around 1.55 meters tall, he grew rapidly, increasing by nearly 10 centimeters in four months.

Meanwhile, the soldiers have mastered the skills and have conducted several combat training exercises with good results.

Next comes advanced training in swordsmanship.

Spears, lances... In any world, in any battlefield combat using melee weapons, long-handled weapons are the mainstay.

Whether in PvP or PvE, spears and lances are the strongest weapons. Even a knight like Hand could be killed in a one-on-one fight by a spear formation of twenty or thirty elite soldiers.

Primitive people could hunt elephants with spears, so how could a novice knight with a physical strength of 4 possibly be better than an elephant?

If spears are so powerful, why did humans invent other weapons?

This is because of the push rod.

When the two spear formations come into contact, they will not be as uniform as in the game, and will intertwine diagonally due to the gaps between them.

At this point, the only option for both sides' long-pole soldiers to break this chaotic situation is for everyone to raise their guns upwards. As a result, the soldiers in the two formations will find that the distance between them is getting closer and closer, but neither side can lower their guns.

At this point, it would be better to put down the spear and draw a short sword or dagger to fight.

Even worse, some might infiltrate the spear formation with greatsword soldiers wielding two-handed swords and unleash their Musou attacks to mow down enemies.

However, it is clear that the military camp where Luo Kunlun is located has no intention of training greatsword soldiers.

That thing requires full-body heavy armor, like plate armor, to unleash its full power.

Heavy plate armor—every single piece of that stuff is a battlefield weapon. How high is its defensive capability? Even when riddled with bullets, it's still cutting people down. Most people die from exhaustion or from bleeding out of minor wounds.

However, plate armor is also quite expensive, and moreover, Luo Kunlun believes that the world may not even have that technology.

Back then, Hand wore chainmail; plate armor knights probably hadn't yet appeared in this world, given the level of social development of this kingdom.

However, there seems to be no need for it to appear. A mid-level knight can cut through thick steel plates, and if you are not a knight, you can't withstand more than a few hits.

Although there are very, very few people like that.

As for the strongest high knights, they are great figures who govern the entire kingdom, and there are only a handful of them in the whole kingdom.

To get back to the point, Luo Kunlun and his group are now going to practice swordsmanship using wooden swords and knives.

The wooden knife is lighter than the short knife, the blade is not sharpened, and the edges are polished smooth.

The veterans stood at the front of their respective teams, demonstrating basic slashing and parrying techniques: "When spears fail, the sword is your life. Remember, there are only three moves, practice them well!"

The veterans demonstrated practical moves that were simple and direct, with the core being quick learning and the ability to handle chaotic battles. They did not pursue the knight's flashy swordsmanship, but only practiced three types of minimalist moves.

One method is to use a short slash followed by a block to deal with enemies facing you directly.

Practice horizontal short slashes and vertical blocks using a single-handed short sword or dagger, requiring fast movements and powerful strikes.

Secondly, there is the thrusting technique. If the enemy is wearing leather armor or chainmail, it is difficult to cause serious injury with swords and blades, so the tip of the blade is used to stab vulnerable areas such as the throat.

Thirdly, it involves close-quarters fighting, somewhat like a street brawl.

It doesn't look very nice, but it's functional.

While the veterans were demonstrating their moves, Luo Kunlun noticed that there was an extra person.

The man was wearing black leather armor, with a real sword hanging at his waist, the scabbard engraved with simple patterns.

He was equally imposing, though a little shorter than Gray.

Upon seeing the man, Gray's furrowed brows relaxed, and he strode over, bowing slightly as he said something. It was the first time Luo Kunlun had ever seen Gray show such respect.

The captain of Luo Kunlun's hundred-man squad, Centurion Layton!

This is the first time I've seen him since I enlisted.

After speaking with Layton, Gray ordered the soldiers to begin training, and the field immediately became noisy.

Layton, on the other hand, walked to a corner of the training field by himself.
