"Whoosh!"

A feathered arrow grazed Zhang Yang's side, and he didn't look back, but just lowered his body as much as he could, and steered the horse to gallop.

He was discovered shortly after galloping on the steppe hunting horse, for he had not fled far from the battlefield in the first place.

The north-south ditch was less than 300 meters long, which is why he encountered the Gato nomad.

The other party just wanted to go around in a circle to intercept the rout in front, but it turned out to run into the unlucky Zhang Yang.

Now, the two Cato raiders abandoned the rout and were approaching.

Perhaps the only thing to be thankful for is that three Cato lancers are chasing the knight's servant named Ron, and as for the other,

It should have been dead, and then a Cato lancer also died, and this is the cruelty of a face-to-face mounted gun hedge.

"Whoosh!"

Another feather arrow came at a distance of only a dozen centimeters from him, which showed that the other party was chasing closer and closer.

But Zhang Yang was not worried at all, because the walls of Payne Town could already be seen in front of him, and the sound of horns could be faintly heard.

Turning his horse to the left, he rushed into a green wheat field, which was to avoid the three Cato lancers in front, and he did not hesitate to gallop his horsepower, running wildly, life and death, and it was only in these two minutes.

Sure enough, in less than half a minute, the three Cato lancers gave up the chase and turned around, these Cato squads came and went like the wind, extremely alert, and if something was wrong, they immediately fled away, so even the regular army had a headache.

Zhang Yang ran out of the wheat field and stopped on the side of the road, he could see the dust in the direction of Payne's town, and at least dozens of cavalry rushed out.

Now, it's his turn to make a choice, to turn around and run, to be a swinging knight, well, that's right, he has horses and men and knives now, and those caravans are willing to hire him, and he can always earn a few hundred dinars for a trip, and he can spend some time in the town of Payne, if he doesn't die in battle.

Another option was to join Baron Charles's army, the horse and scimitar would still be his trophy, and then he would fight for the king, but the chances of dying were greater, as the enemy was the more ferocious Daxia.

In just a second, Zhang Yang made a decision, he was here to fight, because fighting has experience, growth, and finally leaving here.

You can't marry a wife and have children in this world, and put down roots.

"Boom!"

The knight in bright armor rushed over, and the ground shook like a mountain, and Zhang Yang dismounted, and hid to the side, he thought he would be questioned, but he did not.

The proud Sarion knights, led by the two lion knights, rushed forward, and although they were not destined to catch up with the Cato squad, they should be able to save some of the routs.

"You're nice, my name is Ron, what's your name?"

After eating a mouthful of dust, I saw that a horse had stopped, and it was the servant of the Sarion knight who had almost died.

It must be worth mentioning that the Sarion knights are already nobles, although they are the lowest-level, and they don't even have the right to inherit the small nobles, but they can be upgraded to the Sarion knights, as long as they make war achievements, they can basically get a fief of a small village.

If they can continue to do their deeds, they can be chosen to join the more glorious Lion Knights, who are descendants of King Ulrique.

If you want to go one step further and upgrade to the most awesome punishment knight in the whole continent, well, that's basically impossible.

"My name, my name is Theo, a recruit from Hadley Village. ”

Zhang Yang saluted respectfully, and his eyes glanced at the other party's chain mail, as well as the vanished cavalry spear, which was enough for him to judge the truth of the matter, that is, the Gato lancer was killed by Ron in front of him.

After all, only a strong knight could control a solid cavalry lance, and the kind of cavalry like the Hu Servant basically used a hollow cavalry lance that broke at the touch of a button.

So, this proves from the side that this is a promising knight's servant.

"You killed a Gatu nomad, good, that's good, I'll take credit for you, but now, Theo, a recruit from Hadley, I want you to go to Payne Town to rest at once, and report to me at the boot camp before this evening. ”

After saying that, Ron blinked happily, and the meaning of his words was obvious.

"Yes, sir. ”

He can now go to Payne Town and sell the loot.

Twenty minutes later, he came to the gates of the town of Payne, which was originally a knight's fortress, and Baron Charles's grandfather was a lion knight, who built the fort and gradually developed the perimeter to form the town today.

The walls are not high, made of logs, with simple arrow towers and lookout posts, and you can see a few soldiers with bows and arrows on their backs.

The gates were also made of wood, very primitive, and two soldiers with spears stood guard, but there was no intention of checking, and some men and women with dark faces and shabby clothes kept coming and going, some of them leading two sheep, or a piglet, or a few ducks.

This is to be released to graze, and there is absolutely no food to feed it.

Zhang Yang led the horse into it, and was faced by the muddy pond-like street, emitting a foul smell, mixed with the aroma of toast on the street corner, very dreamy.

A house facing the street, the attic window is open, and the middle-aged prostitute who has just woken up is gargling expressionlessly, purring, poof, bringing a burst of scolding.

Two idlers in round hats leaned like dogs against the corner of the wall where the sun could not shine directly, and looked around with sinister eyebrows while clawing at lice.

This is the town of Payne.

Fifty meters onwards, there is a side street, and at the end of the barracks on the left, as well as the fortress of Baron Charles and a manor, and on the right, the Roaring Tavern, the Donkey's Inn, the Old Hodder's Blacksmith's Shop, the Silva Bread Oven, and the Terra Groceries, which form the commercial center of the town of Payne.

Zhang Yang stopped in front of the she-donkey's inn and laid out the scimitar, as well as the leather jacket and leather boots that had been taken from the Cato people, and this was what it meant to be sold.

As for why they are here, because the inn is full of caravans, and they need to buy horses.

Of course, if you are lucky, you can meet a rich man who wants to become a wandering knight.

As it turned out, Zhang Yang's judgment was correct, and he waited less than half an hour for the steppe hunting horse to be taken by a caravan ready to set off, and it was bought for 150 dinars to pull the cart.

This price is not high, but Zhang Yang only wants to shoot quickly.

The scimitar was bought by a hired guard who happened to have a broken weapon, and was given only 50 dinars.

Leather jackets and boots were bought for only 12 dinars.

This amount of money is really a huge amount of money for Zhang Yang and the idlers in Payne Town at this moment, if he doesn't have some means, it is estimated that he will become a corpse in less than tomorrow morning.

So Zhang Yang turned his head and went to the old Hodder blacksmith's shop.

Although joining the regular army is to issue weapons, you can know what it will be like if you think about it, nothing more than wooden sticks and iron forks.

For your own big plans, it's a must to bring some of your own weapons.

Old Hodder's blacksmith was not well-known or brilliant, but it was responsible for crafting weapons for the rank-and-file soldiers of Baron Charles.

"Theo, I heard you killed a Gatu this morning?"

As soon as he entered the door, a shirtless young man inside looked up and smiled, this is Daniel, the apprentice of the blacksmith Old Hodder, who is also from Hadley Village, and is considered a childhood friend of the original owner, and has now been an apprentice in the blacksmith shop for eight years.

"That's right, so I'm joining the Baron's army, and maybe in a little while you'll have to salute me. Zhang Yang smiled slightly.

"Haha, in fact, as long as you can come back alive, it's better than anything. Daniel sighed a little, then he looked back, and then lowered his voice and said: "You have made a fortune, are you planning to buy some good guys, don't worry, old Hodder is not at home, I can pick some good ones for you, by the way, how many dinars do you have?"

"200 dinars. ”

"It's really good, I want to go to war when I hear it, well, it's impossible to buy chain mail with this money, this leather vest is good, hard cowhide, count you 30 dinars. This leather helmet, lined with iron bars inside, I made it, count you 20 dinars. Do you have leather boots, go pick the right one yourself, count you in 20 dinars. ”

Daniel babbled, but his hands were not slow.

"When it comes to the battlefield, the shield is indispensable, do you want a wooden shield with skin or a wooden shield with iron inlay? Old Hodder's wooden shield here is made of ten years of willow wood, but I suggest you pick this round wooden shield, lined with ten iron bars, which cannot be cut with a sword, how about you count it as 40 dinars?"

"Where's this shield?"

Zhang Yang looked at a large round shield in the corner.

"Hah, that piece, I don't recommend you to ask for it, this is the trophy brought back by Lord Baron Charles, it is said that its owner was a Van Skerry pirate chieftain, and the elder Hodder later restored it, using walnut hearts, and 20 iron bars on the inside and outside, twice the weight of a regular shield, and most importantly, it cost 100 dinars. ”

"I'm going to ask for it. Zhang Yang is very persistent, he doesn't want to say that he is afraid of death.

Daniel looked at him seriously and nodded, "Okay, then it's a deal, but then you'll only be able to get some simple weapons." ”

"It's okay, get me an axe, the handle is shorter. ”

Zhang Yang said, and picked up this Van Skerey guard round shield, it was indeed very heavy, almost twenty pounds, on the battlefield, there was not enough strength to really play.

However, Zhang Yang is now 15 strength, which can barely be used, and as long as he is upgraded by two more levels, he will almost be able to.

After changing his equipment and leaving 190 dinars, Zhang Yang went to the grocery store to buy a water bladder, a pocket to carry on his back, a piece of burlap to bandage his wounds, two pieces of black bread that were hard enough to kill people, and a small packet of salted jerky.

At this point, he was empty again, so he did not linger and went straight to the barracks to report.
