Is this the person you recruited?Roland looked at the ragged civilians in front of him, and the urge to turn around and leave was in his heart.
Your Highness, this is a screening according to your requirements. Carter pointed at his fingers, "Male, non-criminal, over 18 years old, under forty, without any defects... I have carefully checked it."
Well, he knew he couldn't expect too much.
After all, the world's productivity is so low, it's difficult to eat a full meal, and it's even more normal to wear it almost.
As a prince, he ignored this. As long as he walked out of the castle, he could see refugees who were not covered in clothes and begging to make a living.
In fact, even the Kingdom Capital Gray Castle, there are professions like corpse collectors. What they do is to drag the hungry people who fell to death on the streets away and cremate them every day.
So what is the battle mode in this world?
Roland closed his eyes and thought about it carefully, um... it was probably a little more advanced than a gangster fight.
Generally speaking, when the lord decides to start a war (or when fighting, Roland does not think that such a battle can be related to the word "war", he will summon the feudal nobles in his jurisdiction, and then summon the feudal nobles in their respective territories, such as the duke summons the earls under his command, the Count summons, barons, and so on.
Most of these nobles have a group of knights and mercenaries as their personal strength. They are the main force in combat, with complete basic armor and excellent weapons.
At the same time, they will also recruit civilians and farmers in the territory to fight together to transport food and grass to the troops and rush to the front line when they need cannon fodder to fill the pit.
The most casualties in the battle were these cannon fodders. In the battle between the nobles, as long as they did not die on the battlefield, they would usually be caught and treated well in exchange for ransom.
Roland naturally would not expect the nobles of the Border Town to help him fight. In fact, they had nothing to do with the Border Town. Most of them were barons enfeoffed by the Lord of the Changge Fortress, and their territory was also in the area under the jurisdiction of the fortress.
A unit composed entirely of civilians is a very imaginative thing in this era.
How can they be compared to knights who have started practicing swords since they were ten years old?
Carter approached Roland and whispered, "Your Highness, this matter is not feasible at all."Look at them, which one of them can hold a sword?When you meet an evil beast, you may scatter, which will affect the stability of the defense line.I suggest hiring professional mercenaries from Liuye Town or other places to guard the city walls, so that these people can be kept for some chores.
No, I will use them.Roland refused.
He had no good feelings for the group of mercenaries who worked for money. Besides, he formed an army not only to deal with evil beasts Throughout history, a powerful and vital team must come from the people, whether it is the feudal army, modern army or modern army, has verified this law countless times.
Well, you have the final say, the knight shrugged, then I will start training them to hold the sword tomorrow?Although it may not be of much use...
Using a sword?No, you take them in line and run first. Roland suddenly thought that the chief knight might not have experienced these training contents himself, so he had to change his words, call the hunter he looked for last time, and you can see how I do it together.
……
Vanne had probably experienced more incredible today than the previous twenty years combined.
He actually saw His Highness Roland Wimbledon, the fourth prince of the Kingdom, close up.He walked past him and smiled at himself, Oh my God, is the prince drunk?
Three days ago, when the Fourth Prince was giving a speech in the square, he knew that this winter would be different from before. They would not go to Changge Fortress, but would have spent the long winter here.
He didn't understand most of the truths the prince said, but he agreed from the bottom of his heart.
Vanne's younger brother died in the fortress slum two years ago. There was no food for a whole month. He relied on the few copper coins he earned for unloading for the dock to buy some black bread and shared with his younger brother.
But it was too cold that winter, and the wind was leaking everywhere in the slum shacks. I couldn't even maintain my body temperature after eating this little bit. My younger brother never woke up again after falling ill and coma.
In Bianfeng Town, he had at least one house made of earth bricks, so he didn't have to be afraid of heavy snowfall for several days.
He also saw that the pier was full of wheat transported from other places and was moving into the castle in batches.
Therefore, when Vannah heard the news that the four princes were recruiting militias, he rushed over immediately.
Of course, the reason for tempting him to give up his gravel work and come to apply for the levee immediately was also the salary of up to 10 silver wolf in that month.
This is better than a skilled craftsman!
He is no longer young. By next spring, he plans to marry the tavern maid Serry as his wife. How can he not save more money now?
As for what the militia should do in the notice, he had no attention at all.
Anyway, they either carry things for those nobles or attack patrolmen. They will never let them climb up the city wall to fight against the crazy evil beasts.
The screening process was quite strict, and the eyes of the knight in the armor made Vanne a little scared.
Fortunately, his pretty sturdy body passed the review, and many thin guys were taken out of the team by the Knights.
In the end, only one hundred people were left to respond.
But Vanna never expected that it was His Highness the Prince himself who trained them!
Those who passed by were taken to the grassland west of Bianfeng Town. Behind them was the city wall being built, and in front of them was the continuous hidden forest.
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 and mud, and the accumulated water penetrated into the soles of his feet along the seams of his shoes, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
Not to mention that the position required by the prince is not ordinary. His hands must be vertically placed on both sides of his thighs and his spine must be straight.
Vanne felt exhausted after standing for only a quarter of an hour. It was harder than crushing stones with a sledgehammer.
But he gritted his teeth and tried hard to persevere.
Because His Highness said before, whoever moves will have one less egg for lunch.
Oh my God, he hasn't tasted the eggs in a long time.
Obviously the people around me think so, despite the shaking, most of them persevered.
It was not until the prince announced his rest on the spot that Vannah realized that he had sweated all over his back, and the whole time he stood was not long, only two quarters of an hour at most.
Those who did not stick to the end were very upset, as if they saw round eggs leaving them.
But Vannah doesn’t understand very much, what’s the use of them practicing this?Can you carry more bags of dry food just by standing?
If His Highness, the respected prince, had he not been training them, he would have been yelling long ago.
Unexpectedly, after a moment of rest, the second order announced by Your Highness became even more bizarre.
He asked everyone to continue to line up and stand up. This time, if no one moves, add an egg for lunch.
As long as one person gives up, everyone will lose the opportunity to add new eggs.
Vannah heard a swallowing sound.
Hell, is this a popular trick for the aristocratic class in the Kingdom?He is not a stupid donkey to play with a carrot hanger!
...But if everyone can do it, wouldn't there be two eggs to eat later?
It was simply a devil's temptation. Vannah wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and he fought for the egg!
