Otto, Bass, and Kazak have been working hard for many years, and they are all good at workmanship and fighting, but they are already very unfamiliar with plowing the fields, so Art does not plan to let them participate in the cultivation of wasteland, not to mention that these guys are the core force of Art in the next troubled times.

After helping old Cooper build the shack in the valley, Art took Ron and Otto to train in the wooden castle, he did not train like the knight training that the original owner received since childhood, and he was still a farmer and a laborer a few months ago, for them, how to quickly master the most practical killing skills and self-defense skills is the most important, but as the core force of the future, Art doesn't want these guys in front of him to be just elite soldiers forever, Therefore, Art singled out the simplest and most practical part of the knightly training he received since childhood as the training content of the Odoji people.

The first is swordsmanship. It was too difficult for the commoners of this era to learn the complete swordsmanship, so Art, like Professor Ron, directly handed over the most practical swordsmanship he inherited from the original owner to a few people. Secondly, from the perspective of actual combat, in addition to learning some basic swordsmanship, several people mainly learn the use of long and short spears, battle axes, heavy hammers, long knives and other weapons according to their actual conditions, these weapons are not as complicated and expensive as swords, these weapons are not only easy to obtain and easier to master the use of skills, but also can play a strong combat power in battle. Then, as the core force of the first generation, Art's requirements for Ron Otto and others are by no means beyond the reach of ordinary soldiers, in addition to practicing swords, axes and spears and offensive and defensive battles every day, they must also take turns to learn basic riding skills, at least to be able to ride horses and gallop. Finally and most difficult to learn the text. When Art offered to let a few people learn the common script, they were shocked, they had never thought of learning the script, and the knowledge of the script was the exclusive privilege of the nobility and the church; And they didn't think that the days of being with swords needed words and knowledge to help, and in the end, at Art's insistence, a few people could only bite the bullet, but the effect can be imagined, these men who can wield the hammer of the tomahawk like an arm can only scratch their heads when faced with crooked words......

After determining the content of the preliminary training, in the following days, several people fought each other with wooden swords and sticks during the day, and every day there would be a few more bruises on everyone's bodies, of course, it would be Art himself who was occasionally beaten; In all fairness, if you rush into battle one by one, the three of Otto and Ron are not Yat's opponents, but once several people form a formation that takes care of each other, Art is tired of coping, especially the three of Odomas and Kazak, they often fight each other with other forces when they are forceful, and the three of them form a battle formation and cooperate with each other tacitly to attack and defend properly, often able to resist Yat's sword and shield attacks, and even occasionally win back. At night, Art would try to teach a few people some simple general words and come up with some calculations in the cabin, and every time at this time, several sweaty guys would listen to Art in a sleepy yawn......

In order to balance everyone's emotions, in addition to the hard training, Yate will also take a few people into the mountains and forests to hunt, on the one hand, you can train everyone's formation in the hunt, practice the way of attack and defense, and form a more tacit relationship between Bibi; On the other hand, both the Odoji people and the farmers who worked in the newly opened wasteland had high-intensity training and labor every day, and the demand for food, especially meat, increased greatly, and Yate wanted to add a living guarantee to the wooden fort with little grain, and under the command of Yate, every time he went into the mountains to hunt, several people could bring back a wild boar, goat, elk and other prey.

Half a month has passed, and Ron Otto has improved his combat skills in the continuous training every day, and the relationship between them has become closer.

The farmers in the wooden fort were well organized under the leadership of Cooper, Scott, and Lawrence, and although Art occasionally brought people into the mountains to hunt and increase their meat, the grain in the wooden fort was only enough to last for twenty days. Having been nearly ambushed in the woods twice, Art gave up his plan to send Cooper and Scott to the north to buy food, and decided to take Ron Otto and his four men to try his luck in the villages and towns of Tiniez County, not forgetting that Viscount Pierre had promised him to collect his own security tax.

The night before his departure, Art summoned Cooper and his men to his cabin, and instructed Cooper to take care of all matters in the castle while he was out to collect food, and Scott and Lawrence to assist Cooper in managing it.

If the weather is too cold and the land is frozen to plough, he will lead everyone from the wooden fort to open up a horse lane to the edge of the dense forest in the north, and when the weather is too cold to even go out to work, he will take everyone to build and improve the wooden fort, anyway, there is a purpose, "There must be no idlers here." ”

For the sake of insurance, Art left Cooper 500 pfennig for the purchase of food, and if the team that went out to collect grain did not have time to return with food before the grain ran out in the wooden fort, Cooper would have to organize his own people to buy rations in the place where there was a manor village in the north.

"Cooper, I will leave you some weapons when I leave, you ask Bard to chop some beech, ash, oak and other high-quality wood in his free time to come back and make spear shafts, and make those iron spearheads into short spears for me, and temporarily distribute them to a few trustworthy and courageous farmers, so that they can guard the safety of the wooden fort while we go out, and if we have to go out to buy food, we must also bring more men and weapons, it is already a troubled time outside, we must always be cautious."

"Lawrence, you will take the lead in the security of the wooden castle during the time we are out, and now that we have more people, we must beware of the attack of wolves and beasts, and second, we must prevent people from being restless inside. You give each of the guys who participated in the escort a short spear, form a temporary guard of the wooden fort, and carry weapons with you when you work on weekdays. ”

"Scott, you also join the temporary guard of the valley to help the old housekeeper take care of the family, and we will come back with food as soon as possible."

"In addition, you must tell everyone that no one is allowed to leave this place at will, let alone leave the northern jungle at will, unless the old butler has permission to do so."

"Yes, Lord (Lord)"

......

After arranging the people in the wooden castle, Art took the Otto and began to prepare for the outing.

Winter has arrived, and the outcasts and robbers will not be too active, so Art guesses that this trip will not be too dangerous. Considering that the purpose of this trip was to go out to collect food supplies, Art only planned to carry three days' rations, a wagon, and a horse pulling a cart, and the green mule was to stay behind to help Cooper plow the land.

In order to prevent the villagers and lords from thinking of a few people as outcasts or robbers, Art took people into the forest to collect some black leaves, mistletoe leaves and other leaves for the peasant women in the wooden castle to make black dye, and took out the original cloak and collected linen from the wooden castle and dyed them all black, and made six sets of black cloak burqas with a uniform shape, and with a uniform burqa cape, at least they could look like people with an "official" background.

Art himself was dressed in double leather armor, an iron helmet with nose protection, a bearskin coat, a horned riding bow, and a steel knight's sword and dagger at his waist; Otto wore another double leather armor with a waist hanger, Ron wore a patched single leather garment, Kazak and Bas each wore a cotton armor, and Art had a short sword or axe hammer on the cowhide belts of each of the four, all of whom held an iron spear in their hands.

After the four of Otto unified their weapons and equipment, and their coats and black cloak robes, they really looked neat and energetic, and their brave momentum immediately appeared.

"Let's go!"
