Landon had gone a step further, and had given them a mile instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For training those from Carona, under section 12, Article 4:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Baymard was obligated to train the men on ’physical hand-to-hand combat’, and failure to do so will result in breach of contract.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The article also went into detail about what services baymard would provide, punishment for contract breaching.... as well as the expectations Baymard had towards Carona.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also circumstances that made for exceptions, to when this particular rule could be broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In essence.... at certain time frames, Carona was expected to bring 300 men to train each semester.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had decided to open up 3 semesters for them:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>•January 1st - April 30th\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>•May 1st - August 31st\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>•& September 1st - December 31st.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course these people had their own empires to defend, so they couldn’t stay here forever for more than 4 months time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence Landon had decided to do things in a different manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each person could only register for one semester out of the 3 per year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After their registered semester, the men were required to go back to Carona..... and stay there for the rest of year (8 months).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And within those months, Landon would give them daily training routines and notes on combat, ethics and so on... that they had to study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would give them classified military fighting manuals... that would all be in Carmelo’s care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Carona, Carmelo would open a new school with a military library within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, only those who have been authorized to touch those manuals, could do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Landon had preferred to think of that library as those wuxia Pavilions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, Baymard already had it’s own ’Pavilion too... hence allowing Carona have it’s own, wasn’t a bad idea as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from studying and training back at Carona..... it was also their sworn duty to train their fellows knights as well, on what they had learnt so far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by doing so, will more people have access to this training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One had to know that Carona probably had over 100, 000 soldiers there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it was near impossible to have all of them come over here to train.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And taking large number of trainees, would not be good if a war actually broke out there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The country needed its security in order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence even 300 to 5000 soldiers every year... was an extremely safe number to work with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, Landon would start small.... before increasing the number of soldiers that could come over each year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, after those 8 months of constant training..... the men were expected to come back and attend next years 4 month semester as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on the 1st week of their arrival, they would be given several exams to determine their ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they trained and studied hard, then they should be able to promote their ranks with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not, then they would have to repeatedly the semester again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now.... for the first year, Landon would train at least 900 soldiers throughout those 3 semesters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And next year, that amount woud double to 1800 soldiers... as new knights would join in as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Essentially, Landon had agreed to train each soldier for 4 years straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after that, Baymard wouldn’t register them for semesters anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, they would have their graduations and leave for good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But of course, they would have graduated as ordinary ’Enlisted Sergeants..... which were still 22 places below the top position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were still in the enlisted category, and still had to reach the warrant officer category..... as well as the officer rank category.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence if they still wanted to increase their ranks.... Landon would still give them things to study when they got back to Carona.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of these ranks require constant service, training and studying for 1 to 2 years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So after studying, they could come back to Baymard to request for an official ranking examination anytime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they passed, then they would be given their badges..... as well as several documents proving their promotion to the next rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bottom line, each year... each student was only supposed to spend 4 months in Baymard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after 4 years, they were meant to graduate for good... and stay in Carona, training more men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, as for their housing issue... Landon had decided to build an academy close to Baymard’s own... and call it the Carona Military Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And since he had decided to treat them as soldiers, then they would also be ranked as them as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would take ethics, math, combat, rock climbing classes.... and other classes that had nothing to do with bullets or guns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baymard weaponary classes were completely off limits to them.... but everything else was fine\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And out of these courses, they would have 3 shared courses with the Baymardian soldiers..... as well as the normal morning drill exercises too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth he didn’t want the men from Carona to think that they were being treated unfairly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence he wanted them to do the drills with the Baymardians... and see that the drill sergeants yelled at everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want them to think that they were discriminated against.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence sharing some activities like these, was the only way to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for their uniforms, the men from carona carona had said that they wanted it to be carmoflage yellow.... so Landon had decided to make them like so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When building the academy itself, Baymard had to use their own money to construct it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for the running of the Academy, that was all Carona.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Be it sewing clothes, paying electrical bills or even paying military cooks, cleaners and so on..... Carona would foot the bill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And while the knights were here, based on their schedules... they could also work as part timers as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Carona was paying for lighting heating, military meals and so on, the knights still needed pocket money as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Be it for extra feeding or to hang out with their friends..... extra money was definitely a must.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And like it or not, some of the knights coming here might not be high ranking ones.... which meant that their pay would be less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if they stayed here for 4 months, wouldn’t their money eventually run out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence Landon wanted to give them more opportunities to live well while staying here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could work at any job that didn’t include the industries or any workplaces that gave out Baymard’s secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they could work at stores, the park, food courts.... and even militarty cooks within their academy, if they wanted to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had a lot of options to choose from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All in all, the men from Carona were extremely pleased with this particular military deal.\u003C\u002Fp>",1541,"2026-06-03T07:55:13.590Z","2026-06-03T07:55:19.557Z",1,"novelbin.me","57f3aadc569cfd9cbff2d76e4018563d0d2d17f02c5a8f7f333c94cdff39e1cb","i-m-the-king-of-technology-chapter-261","i-m-the-king-of-technology-chapter-259",1977,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-the-king-of-technology-cover.jpg"]
