As soon as the morning dawned, Zhang Yang stood by the creek and poked a willow branch in his mouth, then took a sip of water, gurgled a few times, and finally spit it out with a pop.

Not far away, there were three half-old tents, the middle of which was covered with smoke, and about ten paces outside the tent were buried 30 horses tied with sticks to block the camp by the stream.

In the camp, two war horses, a hunting horse, and two donkeys were leisurely eating forage, and next to it was a four-wheeled cart, loaded with some supplies, including the essence of the horses, the food of Zhang Yang and others, and so on.

This is the family of the Agni Mercenary Regiment.

As the saying goes, the new regiment has a new atmosphere, and after Zhang Yang officially defeated Tonks and obtained the qualification of the captain of the mercenary group, he ignored Tonks's many suggestions and objections, and stopped recruiting mercenaries in the tavern at all, nor did he stay there to get drunk and dream and die, and talk to the young lady.

He directly purchased a four-wheeled carriage, two horses, three tents, some maintenance tools, as well as food, iron pots, forage, spices and many other supplies, and left the city of Sarion that day.

The cost of all this was only 300 silver dinars.

Tonks was naturally full of complaints about this, but he didn't count.

"Captain, you're up!"

Carly also came out of the tent at this time, and she consciously began to prepare breakfast.

It wasn't until Zhang Yang took a bath in the cold stream water that Tonks muttered out.

"Theo, you're an ascetic. ”

"Haha, Tonks, if you don't feel good, come and talk to me. ”

Zhang Yang laughed, pulled out a two-handed wooden sword from the carriage, and made several offensive and defensive movements very smoothly.

"Humph!"

Tonks snorted heavily, and came to the creek by himself, first releasing water, and then also learning to grunt and toss for a while, and finally took out the training wooden sword carelessly.

"Theo, I can beat you a hundred times with one hand, and you will never be my opponent. ”

"Then give it a try!"

Zhang Yang, who had already warmed up, was like a young leopard, posed, took the lead in attacking, and then was knocked to the ground by Tonks in less than three rounds, the gap was too obvious, after all, his two-handed proficiency was only 65, while Tonks had a proficiency of 320.

But that's exactly what Publicity Training is all about.

Throughout the morning, Zhang Yang was knocked down again and again, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and his body was extremely sore, and he was extremely embarrassed.

However, he also gained 5 points of two-handed weapon proficiency, and by the way, he calmed the resentment in Tonks's heart.

After breakfast, Zhang Yang asked Carly to continue training with Tonks, and after an hour of rest, he began his throwing training.

The first is fixed-point throwing, the target is set 60 meters away, Zhang Yang needs to throw the heavy javelin and the ancient imperial javelin over, and hit accurately.

In fact, there is no problem in throwing such a long distance, the key is precision.

Of course, even if it hits, it will not play much role in actual combat, unless it is used for sneak attacks, as long as it is seen by the enemy, it can always be dodged.

Therefore, this kind of throwing training is to increase the throwing skills and eventually gain proficiency.

In a whole morning, Zhang Yang threw 150 times, hit 78 times, and the rest all missed the target, he himself was so tired that he was about to collapse, but the effect was also extremely obvious, and the weapon throwing proficiency increased by 3 points.

During the lunch break, Zhang Yang had to ask Carly to help him massage his muscles, otherwise he thought he would be crippled.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yang, who was still sore, climbed onto the war horse and began to continue practicing riding, yes, level 5 riding is amazing, he didn't think so.

This time, he was joined by Carly and Tonks.

Carly is for revenge and for being stronger, so she learns everything, and her desperate learning is not inferior to flamboyance.

As for Tonks, he probably felt that he had no face, so he also studied together.

Carly and Tonks practiced riding and jogging, while Zhang Yang practiced fast obstacle runs, turn runs, and acceleration runs, as well as throwing knives quickly on a galloping horse.

This kind of training not only publicizes his own efforts, but also requires him to communicate and cooperate with the war horse, and finally achieve a state of unity between man and horse.

Thanks to this Daxia war horse, it is really a miracle horse, otherwise I really can't help this kind of training, of course, five eggs a day, twenty catties of concentrate is also necessary.

At night, Tonks was responsible for the vigilance in the first half of the night, and Zhang Yang was in charge of the vigilance in the second half of the night.

This kind of life is indeed like that of an ascetic.

Thanks to the fact that this is a desert with no people, there is no danger except for wild beasts.

This high-intensity training lasted for a whole month, and it didn't end until the supplies on the cart were exhausted.

Zhang Yang and the three packed up the camp and returned to Saarion, as if they were in a different world.

But their gains are also really big.

Like Tonks, his skills in combat and other aspects cannot be improved for the time being, but his riding skills have been improved from the original level 1 to level 3, and he can already gallop on horseback.

Although Zhang Yang's riding skills are still level 5, his weapon proficiency has improved a lot, including the proficiency of one-handed weapons has increased to 85, the proficiency of two-handed weapons has reached 90, and the proficiency of throwing weapons has increased to 235 points, which can basically ensure that he can hit 100 shots within 50 meters, even on a high-speed galloping horse, he can also ensure that 8 hits out of 10.

This kind of skill, even Tonks was silent when he saw it.

However, compared to the two of them, Carly has also improved the most due to her low foundation, and although she is still level 7, her overall attributes have surpassed that of a level 10 female guard.

The details are as follows-

Carly: 18 years old (Level 7)

Identity: Maid (female citizen)

Health: 66

Attributes: Strength 11, Agility 6, Intelligence 8, Charisma 10.

Skills: Iron Bone Level 2, Strike Level 1, Riding Level 2, Persuasion Level 3, Trading Level 1.

Proficiency: 75 with one hand, 0 with both hands, 0 with long pole, 0 for throwing, 0 for bow and arrow, 90 for crossbow.

Equipment: Leather armor, leather helmet, leather gloves, quenched sword, small round shield, hunting crossbow, crossbow arrow.

——

Back in Sarion, Tonks stayed at the Lion Tavern, and said that he would not come out of anything, shouting that he would break up if Zhang Yang had to live as an ascetic for another month.

Zhang Yang was also helpless about this, so he had to promise that he would definitely take on the mercenary mission this time, but before that, they needed to recuperate for a few days before they could appease Tonks.

But Zhang Yang has his own ideas.

They still have 1,200 silver dinars left in the team's assets, and after replenishing enough supplies, especially some extravagant supplies, such as wine, dark beer, etc., after a month of hard training, because they couldn't drink alcohol, Tonks almost went crazy.

So this removes the 300 silver dinars, and the remaining 900 silver dinars are a bit stretched if they are used to recruit mercenaries.

Because according to the current market, any mercenary above level 20 needs 50 silver dinars per month, which is short-term, and if it is long-term, such as more than one year, then at least 500 silver dinars are needed.

Especially those powerful mercenaries are a group of several people, and if you want to hire them, you have to hire them all, and he really doesn't have enough money.

Therefore, according to Zhang Yang's idea, instead of them looking for tavern mercenaries, it is better to train them themselves.

That's right, go straight to recruit young, healthy, ambitious farmers or aristocratic second sons.

However, he didn't dare to tell Tonks about this idea for the time being, otherwise this guy would really be annoyed.

But what can be done?

While Tonks was in the Lion Tavern to talk to the young ladies, Zhang Yang and Carly wandered around the city, because there were always young men who were neither willing to be farmers nor recruited by the lords to make a fortune.

They don't have access to taverns, and they don't have dinars, so they usually congregate in caravanserais, and most of the time, instead of being mercenaries, they become hard-working caravan buddies.

In short, it only took two days for Zhang Yang to collect 12 young, energetic, and most importantly healthy and potential young men, after all, he has a wanderer system that can see the attributes at a glance.

Zhang Yang's promise to them was that each person would pay 30 silver dinars for settling-in, and then 100% mercenary status, and each combat kill would be divided into 20% capture, and they could choose to stay or leave freely after three years.

Then, according to the standard of 30 silver dinars per person, he customized coarse cloth shirts, coarse cloth trousers, shoes, simple wooden shields, and simple spears.

Finally, he arrived at the Lion Tavern with the 12 recruits, and it was time to embark on a new journey.

But when Tonks saw the 12 recruits, he finally went crazy and went furious.

"Hell, Theo, what are you doing! This is a bunch of hen-like farmers!"

"I'm fed up with your own doing, you're just, it's just letting me down!"

"I'm sorry, I have to make a decision, and with you, I'm going to get nowhere. ”

"Goodbye and good luck!"

Tonks just left, Zhang Yang was dumbfounded, and then he could only smile bitterly, what is this called, isn't it different from each other?

"Carly, do you think I'm doing something wrong?"

"No, you are the captain and have the right to decide anything, and I will always follow you. Carly said dryly.

"Let's go, go to the old place, these recruits can't go to the battlefield without training. Zhang Yang sighed, everyone has their own ambitions, and he can't force them.

After buying a batch of food supplies again, Zhang Yang led the team to leave the city of Saarion silently, but this time, maybe it was bad luck, or maybe the departure of Tonks greatly reduced the strength of the team, and they left Saarion City less than twenty miles before they were caught up by five riders from behind.

Even the other party didn't say half a word of nonsense, and directly caught up with him and lit up his weapon.

The 12 recruits were directly frightened, after all, the momentum of this cavalry's frontal charge was not something that a weak chicken like them could imagine.

"Grass!"

Zhang Yang only scolded, turned the horse's head and went up, at the same time, a heavy javelin came to his hand, and he didn't stop at all and got rid of it angrily, and the afterimage flashed, and a rider dozens of meters away screamed wildly, and fell off the horse.

And Zhang Yang didn't look at the result at all, and in just a few seconds, all five heavy javelins came out of his hands, three hit, one missed, and one was blocked by a rider with a shield.

In the blink of an eye, there were still two people left on the other side, and the two sides were already within five meters of each other, seeing the war horses staggered, Zhang Yang swung the horse's head violently, and the war horse rushed outward like an extension of his body, avoiding the piercing of a horse spear by a fraction of a second.

In the blink of an eye, the three horses each pulled away from each other, and Zhang Yang twisted his body on the horse, and he returned to a flying knife, and the sapphire rune flying knife directly hit the back of the rider on the left side, even if the hard leather armor he was wearing, he couldn't stop the sharpness of the flying knife, he screamed, his body shook, and he almost fell off the war horse, and then he accelerated and fled forward, but at this time, he heard a sound of Zheng, a crossbow arrow flew and directly penetrated the guy's eye socket, but it was Carly who shot at this time.

The other rider was already frightened, and fled away from the road, but Zhang Yang chased after the horse, and the level 5 riding skill plus the divine horse of the war horse chased nearly ten meters in a blink of an eye.

The Assassin then struck a series of throwing knives, killing the man in a matter of seconds.

At this point, in less than half a minute, all five horsemen were wiped out.

The frightened recruits only then remembered to run away, only to find that the battle was over.
