Colonial empires in a world ruled by elves

Training in the forest

On a leafy ground, Leuco was looking with a serious face at the deer in front of him through the scope of his rifle.

Taking a deep breath, he aimed at the head and it was at that moment that his finger on the trigger pressed it.

This caused a silent shot which killed the deer, so it rose from the ground and walked towards the corpse to carry it to the base.

After picking it up and placing it on his shoulders, he walked across the black forest floor.

On the way, Leuco took a deep breath to maintain his physical condition, as carrying the deer on his body was quite tiring.

After a few minutes, he reached a base in the middle of the forest, which was surrounded by sandbags.

When Leuco entered the military base, he received help from two recruits who led the deer to the kitchen.

While they did that, Leuco sat in a chair where a sergeant approached him to give him a military salute.

“Lieutenant Leuco, the recruits are undergoing training in the obstacles placed, and it is expected that in two hours they will finish the training.

Do you require me to take any action at the moment? “

Leuco shook his head “You can rest Sergeant, just take care of the recruits in their training.

If someone stops, they all repeat another round of training, as snipers they cannot stop.

Since if you have to run you have to run, if you have to carry extra weight, they should do it.

They better hate us right now than they mourn themselves when they’re dying on the battlefield. “

The Sergeant made a military salute and left to supervise the training of the recruits, while Leuco opened a small notebook where he began to write.

‘Week 11 since we arrived in this new world, the situation across the continent already looks stable.

It is expected that in four more weeks the new currency will be implemented, so I think I will buy some new furniture to decorate my home.

Having the same furniture that my family does not allow me to overcome their deaths, since I spoke with that person from the desert, I realized that my life has to change.

That I want to eliminate the furniture does not mean that I will forget the memory of my family. I will simply change the life that I lead.

My family will always be in my heart, but I have to move forward to be good with myself, otherwise the feelings will continue to accumulate.

As a sniper, I cannot afford to be unstable, as I will endanger my life and the lives of those around me.

If I continue with these feelings and cannot make the change on my own, I will have to go to the psychologists at the military base.

I am sure that they will know how to help me so that once and for all I can end this pain that I have inside.

As for my problem with the deaths that I have done, it is something that I plan to keep in my life forever.

It is a burden that reminds me that I am not a good person, but that I have not lost my humanity and my sanity either.

Every death I commit is in my mind at all times, but I think I’ve reached the point where it doesn’t affect me, it just makes me cry because it reminds me of what I am. ‘

When he finished writing, he put his notebook away and took his rifle from his shoulder to clean it. For this, he removed the magazine and emptied the weapon of any bullet.

Then he disassembled the weapon and from his bag took out a rag and oil to clean the weapon.

The process was slow, but Leuco took the time to clean his weapon. When he finished, the sergeant stood in front of him again.

“Lieutenant Leuco, training is over and the recruits are waiting for you at the training ground.”

Leuco sighed and, moving the lever of the rifle, he left it ready to be used. After that, he got up and walked to the training field.

Upon arrival, he found all the recruits lined up in rows so he smiled and stood in front of them.

“The training they received is just the beginning. The forest, unlike the desert, is a perfect place for us.

In the first place, they will learn how to make a camouflage suit, for this they will take a needle and thread, later they will take a special net. “

Leuco then walked to a table where there were some wooden boxes. When he opened one, he took out a green net that had the shape of a uniform.

“In this net, you will have to sew dry tree leaves. It is very important that they remember that a camouflage of dry leaves in a rainy or spring season.

It’s a bad idea. You also always have to analyze the weather and decide if they will wait over a tree or under a tree.

All of that will affect how camouflage works. For tomorrow’s training, everyone should have their camouflage suits ready.

Well, you will compete against me, for this we will use the new training bullet which is made of paint, so it is harmless in training use.

Remember that whoever wins can enjoy a day off while the losers must make a 100-page report on what went wrong with their camouflage suit.

Not only that, but you will also have to make a new camo suit and compete against me again.

You will keep repeating this process until you learn to blend in with your surroundings, since, as snipers, you must be silent and invisible.

No one should be able to see them, as a recommendation you should also cover their rifle with leaves, for this use glue or pine resin to glue the leaves.

Remember that every place you do not cover is an opportunity for your enemy to find a weakness. For your fortune in the forest, the reflection of the sight is not so obvious.

So you will be able to have more comfortable positions as long as you are covered with the shade of the trees because if you dare to stand in the sun.

Your telescopic sight will cause your death, but let’s stop talking, as it is time for you to work on your camouflage suit.

Just lastly remember that I will choose the battlefield, so think carefully about what kind of camouflage you want to use. “

After saying those words, the recruits formed a line to take one net from the boxes, as well as thread and needles to be able to work.
