Chapter 3425
Everyone Can Be Sacrificed
...
Less than two hundred miles from Zhanbo City, Rahul quickly gathered information from the front lines, sorted and judged it, confirmed its validity, and then carefully assessed the progress of his men.
“This time, the Han army’s opponent is quite strong. If the distance is too far, it will eventually be affected, and even if we make a move, it will be too late.” After carefully gesturing, Rahul then gave orders to his subordinates, “Order the army to continue advancing until the last thirty li.”
Training is risky, especially when the enemy is quite strong, the risk will increase accordingly.
However, the greater the pressure, the more a person can grow. After estimating the pressure that the Han army could exert, Rahul felt that he would be able to identify calm and collected individuals under pressure within a week.
As long as one can remain calm and decisive under pressure, and there are no major problems in command and operation, then further training and instruction in this area can be provided.
Of course, this kind of teaching and training is temporary, because the generals under his command are actually not young, and it is essentially a precaution.
The talent we really need to cultivate is a sufficiently young generation, at least young talents like Kusroy.
Around 30 years old, they are mature enough, have enough drive, are willing to settle down and study hard, and have a strong sense of responsibility.
As for the younger guys, Rahul wanted to train them, but he simply couldn't find any talent like them.
Within the Brahmanical system, if someone possesses a corresponding talent that can be transmitted to the ears of the Brahman class, then their age is around 20 to 30 years old.
Forget about the Brahmin class; the fact that Rahul was even one of the biggest surprises in many years is already.
The class most likely to produce and discover military geniuses is the Kshatriyas. However, due to their long-term stability, this class has gradually become decadent, with a strong martial spirit and a significant decrease in those willing to command armies.
Interest is the best teacher. Without corresponding interest, unless you have strong talent, it is difficult to take on great responsibilities.
This situation, stemming from within the Brahmanical system, makes it difficult for Rahul to discover talented young people on the path of military command, or rather, such talents simply don't come to light.
Compared to the Han Empire's numerous commanders, the Brahmanical system's military training was far less effective due to its rigid class structure, except for exceptional, unborn geniuses.
In a sense, Kusroy was a wild genius within the Brahmanical system, a genius with the potential to become a military god.
However, due to the limitations of the era and class, Rahul and others do not know how far Kusroy can go.
Kusroy casually pinched his hair, feeling its roughness, then glanced back at his main legion, remaining as silent as ever.
Leading the legion eastward, they encountered many enemies and opponents, resulting in numerous deaths. The time they could truly rest in peace was actually quite short.
After nearly three months of running around, Kusroy didn't even have time to clean himself up. The bloodstains on his hair had congealed, and when he casually ruffled them, they fell off along with his hair.
Of the original soldiers of Kusroy's main legion, those who actually came from that city, less than one in ten remain.
Although he still has a force of one or two thousand people, it's only because he is Kusroy, and his army was once a true legion. Soldiers who join this legion, even if they are still of the Untouchable class, are at least soldiers, and their status and profession are somewhat different, so that when they return to Brahma after death, they can better atone for their sins.
The physical condition of those who are inherently untouchable is, to put it mildly, very poor.
Even with the inherent talent of the Dawn Legion, it's impossible to change the physical attributes of these soldiers in a short period of time.
Without restricting the soldiers' movements or denying the efforts of fellow untouchables, Kusroy led his legions slowly to catch up with Rahul's main army, maintaining a certain distance.
With Rahul's army not advancing and having opened the sliding gate, Kusroy led his legion, weary from their journey, into the camp.
The entire army was not only exhausted, but also showed signs of corruption.
The smell emanating from the entire army, and its current state, can be summed up in one word: filthy, chaotic, and stinking.
However, this seemingly chaotic legion was allowed to enter the main camp by soldiers of the Peacock Legion who opened the camp gates and let the soldiers in for a simple wash and reorganization.
Even while pondering the problems at the front, Rahul made a brief observation from a high vantage point as Kusroy led his legion back to camp.
Rahul was very satisfied with the final results of his observations.
Kusroy, who was able to return alive under those circumstances, not only returned alive on his own, but also brought back his soldiers alive.
Even though their numbers weren't particularly large, the state and willpower these soldiers displayed were enough to draw attention. Soldiers of this caliber were more than capable of forming the backbone of a legion.
“Since you’ve managed to do this much, then everything I’ve said will be implemented. I hope you won’t disappoint me in the future.” Rahul said in a rather relaxed tone, looking at Kusroy.
Even though the distance was far enough, Rahul believed that Kusroy could hear what he was saying.
As Rahul suspected, Kusroy did indeed hear what Rahul said.
Even though these words were filled with arrogance and a sense of gratifying approval.
Faced with Rahul's behavior and words, Kusroy felt neither resentment nor regret; he remained calm and composed.
Everything proceeded as previously stated: Kusroy demonstrated the value of the Untouchables as a class that could be saved, while Rahul used his Brahmin powers to improve their living conditions.
Even though Kusroy has a long way to go, he will persevere with unwavering faith.
Not for himself, not for any individual, and not even for the soldiers of his legion, but for the sake of the Untouchables, a class of people.
Anyone could be sacrificed, including Kusroy himself, as long as this class could be saved. (End of Chapter)
