"Is this the person you recruited?" Roland looked at the group of ragged civilians in front of him, and he had the urge to turn around and leave."Your Highness, these are screened according to your requirements," Carter said with his fingers, "Male, non-criminal, over 18 years old, over 40 years old
Bottom, the body is not mutilated... I checked it carefully. "Well, he knew not to expect too much. After all, the productivity of this world is so low that it is difficult to have enough food, and it is even more normal to be underdressed. The
treatment he received as a prince made him ignore this. As long as he left the castle, he could see naked homeless people everywhere and relied on begging for a living. In fact, eventhe capital of the kingdom, Graycastle, has the profession of recruiters - what they do is to drag and incinerate the hungry people who die on the streets every day.
So what exactly is the war model in this world? Roland closed his eyes and thought about it carefully. Well... it was probably a little more advanced than gangsters' fighting.Generally speaking, when a lord decides to launch a war (or fight - Roland does not think that such warfare can be related to the word war at all), he will summon the feudal nobles in the
territory under his jurisdiction, and the feudal nobles will Then summon the feudal nobles of the lower level in their respective territories. For example, the duke summons the earl,the earl summons the comrade, the baron, and so on.
Most of these nobles have a group of cavalry and mercenaries as their own personal strength. They are the main force in combat, with basic armor and sophisticated weapons. Atthe same time, they will also recruit civilians and farmers on the territory to fight together - in fact, they will transport food and grass to the troops and be on the front line when cannon
fodder is needed to fill holes. The most serious casualties in the war were these cannon fodders. As long as the warriors among the nobles did not die on the battlefield, they wouldusually be captured and treated well in exchange for ransom.
Roland naturally would not expect the nobles of Border Town to help him fight. In fact, they have nothing to do with Border Town and are mostly led by Long Ge.A baron enfeoffed by the lord of the fortress, whose territory is also in the area under the jurisdiction of the fortress.
An army composed entirely of civilians was a very imaginative thing in this era. They are ignorant and unable to read,How can a man who cannot understand commands and has not received professional combat training compare to a knight who has been practicing sword practice since he was ten years old?
Carter approached Roland and persuaded in a low voice, "Your Highness, this is not feasible in the first place. Look at them, which one can hold the sword? I'm afraid they will fallapart when they encounter the evil beast, which will have an impact on them. The defense line is stable. I suggest hiring professional mercenaries from Willow Leaf Town or other
places to guard the city wall, and leave these people to do chores."
"No, I'll just use them," Roland refused. He has no good feelings towards those mercenaries who work for money. Besides, he formed the army not just to deal with evil
beasts. Throughout history, the members of a strong and vital team must come from the people. , whether it is a feudal army, a modern army or a modern army, this law has beenverified countless times.
"Okay, you have the final say," the knight shrugged, "Then I will start training them how to hold the sword tomorrow? Although it may not be of much use...""Use a sword? No, you lead them to line up and run first." Roland suddenly thought that these training contents may not be experienced by the first rider himself.
However, I had to change my words and say, "Call the hunter you found last time. Let's see what I do together."*********************
****I may have experienced more incredible things today than in the previous twenty years combined.He actually saw the Kingdom's fourth prince, His Royal Highness Roland Wimbledon, at close range. He passed by and smiled at himself, Oh my god, the king.
Are you drunk?Three days ago, when the Fourth Prince gave a speech in the square, he knew that this winter would be different from the past. They would not go to the Longsong Fortress, but would
Spend the long winter here. He didn't understand most of what the prince said, but he wholeheartedly agreed with this decision. ****'s younger brother died in the fortressslums two years ago. There was no food supply for a whole month. He relied on the few copper plates he earned from unloading cargo at the dock to buy some black bread and
share it with his younger brother. But that winter was too cold, and the slums in the slums were leaking air everywhere. This little food was not even enough to maintain bodytemperature. My brother fell ill and fell into a coma and never woke up.
In Border Town, he had at least one brick house, so he didn't have to worry about heavy snowfall for several days. He also saw that the pier was packed with people from other countriesThe pigeons brought from everywhere are being moved into the castle in batches. Therefore, when **** heard the news that the Fourth Prince was recruiting soldiers, he rushed over as soon as possible.
Of course, the reason that tempted him to give up his stone crushing work and rush to apply for the job immediately was the salary of up to 10 silver wolves a month. This iscomparable to a skilled mason! He is not young anymore. By next spring, he plans to marry Cheryl, a tavern waitress. What can he do now if he doesn't save more money?
He paid no attention to what the notice said the soldier should do. Anyway, he was either carrying things for those aristocratic elders or for patrolmen.Luo soldiers will never let them climb the city wall to fight against the crazy evil beasts.
The screening process was quite strict, and the knight in shining armor was a little scared by his glare. Fortunately, his relatively strong body made it throughAfter inspection, many skinny guys were carried out of the team by the knights. In the end, only about a hundred people came to apply.
But **** never expected that the one who trained them would be His Royal Highness himself!
Those who passed through were taken to the grassland to the west of Border Town. Behind them was the city wall under construction, and in front of them was the endless hiddenforest.
The prince ordered everyone to line up and then went to rest. It had just rained a few days ago, and the ground was still wet with mud. The water seeped into the soles of his feet alongthe seams of his shoes, making him feel uncomfortable all over. Not to mention that the standing posture required by the prince is unusual. His hands must be placed vertically on both sides
of his thighs, and his back must be straight.**** had only stood for a quarter of an hour before feeling exhausted. This was almost more painful than breaking stones with a sledgehammer. But he bit his tongue and persisted.
Because His Highness said before, if anyone moves, there will be an egg missing from lunch. God, it had been so long since he'd tasted eggs. Obviously the people around me thought sotoo, and despite the shaky steps, most people persisted.
It wasn't until the prince announced to rest on the spot that **** realized that he was already sweating, and the entire standing time was not long, only two moments at most.bell. Those who did not persist to the end were very upset, as if they saw the round eggs moving away from them.
It's just that **** doesn't quite understand, what's the use of them practicing this? Can you carry more bags of grain just by standing?If His Royal Highness hadn't been training them, he would have started shouting.
Unexpectedly, after the break, the second order issued by His Highness was even more bizarre. He asked everyone to continue to stand in line. This time, if no one moved, theywould all add an egg to their lunch. As long as one person gives up, everyone will lose the opportunity to add new eggs.
**** heard a sound of swallowing water.See, is this a popular trick among the aristocrats of the kingdom? He's no stupid donkey who uses a carrot-eight boom to keep everyone spinning.
Son!…But if, if everyone can do it, wouldn’t there be two eggs to eat later?
It was like a devil's temptation. **** wiped the water that overflowed from his mouth. He fought hard for the eggs!
