Not every milk is called ...... Ahh Although Marin doesn't think that being able to fight is the most important thing, it can't be said that it is not important.

After all, the average knight's child has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. From the age of about 8, the knight's children began to brush horses, shovel horse manure, and began to practice basic martial arts. By the age of 18, he basically has ten years of training experience. After ten years of practice, a pig can also be trained into an elite-level wild boar, let alone a human?

However, not every knight's disciple will train hard in martial arts. The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. There are a small number of knights' children, who have neglected to practice martial arts since childhood, and their combat effectiveness is very scummy. Although they are certainly better than civilians, among knights who have practiced martial arts for at least ten years, they will not be able to get on the stage.

And Marin held the first round of eliminations in order to eliminate the unlearned and unskilled children of these knight families, so as not to waste time when the truly capable knights competed with them.

When Kohler's spies recorded the words and deeds of the wandering knights, they found that the existing knights were particularly thin. The plate armor worn seems to have shrunk as well. What is a shrinking plate? It's what it means to look like goods. These plate armor are actually very similar to the cargo plate armor cut out of white iron sheet by Marin, which is very thin.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for people with poor physique to adapt to wearing a full set of plate armor weighing at least 25 kg for a long time. Only knights who have practiced for more than ten years and have good physical fitness can adapt to this weight.

But some of the nobles were opportunistic and asked the blacksmith to make them a very thin and light plate armor. In this way, they who are not up to standard in physique can also pretend to wear plate armor to swagger through the market.

This is a type of opportunism, and it is also the weakest group of knights. And the opportunists who are a little better than them can barely put on the plate armor, but after wearing the plate armor, they become weak chickens like hanging lead.

Therefore, Marin came up with a way to test the basic martial arts of these wandering knights.

First of all, Marlin would prepare the standard plate armor for the wandering knights, which was a full set of Gothic plate armor weighing 25 kilograms. In this way, those wandering knights who wore cut corners and filled up the number of wandering knights would appear in their original form after wearing regular plate armor.

Then, Marin also prepared a group of opponents for these wandering knights - veterans of the North Sea Country......

These veterans were all selected from the army by Marin, and their task was to wear the same standard plate armor and fight on foot with those wandering knights. If those wandering knights can't even beat them, they can be eliminated directly.

Previously, in order to ensure fairness, Marin specially selected the weakest group of knights in the Beihai Country, and fought with these veterans in plate armor. Veterans who can barely cope with these weakest knights are qualified to be test subjects for the wandering knights, and they can also test the level of those wandering knights.

If even those veterans can't beat them, and they prove that they are worse than the weakest knights in the North Sea Country, then there is no need to continue to compete. And in order to ensure fairness, the veterans selected by Marin are all those who are still good in the army, but they are not at the top of their ranks.

If you choose the perverts of the Wolf Tooth Commando to test those wandering knights, it is estimated that most of the wandering knights will be eliminated. Because, the gang of the Wolf Tooth Commandos are all perverts born with divine powers. They may not be able to fight on horseback, but with plate armor and mace, ordinary knights really can't beat them in foot combat.

Therefore, the veterans selected by Marin to guard the customs are all elite veterans with average martial arts, as testers for guarding the customs. If even these ordinary elite veterans can't beat them, it proves that the martial arts of these knights are too ordinary.

After all, although these veterans are also elite, they have not practiced martial arts since they were children, and only after joining the Beihai Army did they begin to practice some ordinary combat skills. Compared with those wandering knights who have practiced martial arts for more than ten years, they will definitely suffer.

If a knight's son who has been practicing martial arts for ten years can't beat a veteran who has only been a soldier for a few years and has practiced some ordinary military fighting skills, then this wandering knight's martial arts talent is too poor to be suitable for charging into battle at all......

……

After the first round of jousting began, more than 1,500 wandering knights were numbered and grouped into groups to fight on foot with ordinary elite veterans.

Then, some wandering knights, who usually wore plate armor that cut corners, were dumbfounded. Because, before the foot battle, they must wear the standard plate armor provided by the North Sea Kingdom. For this competition, Marin has prepared a lot of plate armor, all kinds of sizes.

In fact, arranging for his men to weigh the plate armor worn by these wandering knights is the easiest way to identify whether they are opportunistic or not. However, Marlin could not do that.

Because, it is very insulting to ask a knight to take off the plate armor and weigh the plate armor. Just like the supermarket in later generations, it is very insulting to ask the other party to strip naked and search.

The suspected customers in later generations are ordinary people, and even if they are insulted, they can't make waves. But these knights were all children of nobles, and Marin could not easily insult them.

Moreover, the financial resources of each knight family are different. Some poor knight families may also be able to buy cheap plate armor that cuts corners instead of what they intended.

Therefore, Marlin simply prepared his own standard plate armor for those wandering knights to wear. Then, it's the mule and the horse, just pull it out and slip it on.

……

In order to prevent these wandering knights from being uncomfortable due to the sudden change of armor, and causing abnormal performance, Marin also specially allowed these wandering knights to wear the standard plate armor for a day after choosing a standard plate armor that fits well. In this way, when the competition starts the next day, it will not be abnormal.

Early the next morning, these wandering knights put on standard plate armor and came to the arena to engage in foot combat with the ordinary elite infantry who were in charge of the assessment.

The average elite infantry also wore standard plate armor to avoid damage during the tournament. After all, after putting on the plate armor, the whole person wants to be a tin can, as long as the head is not hit hard, it is still difficult to have casualties. In addition, Marin also prohibits deliberately hitting the opponent's head and crotch in the competition.

Once both sides have put on their standard plate armor, they begin to choose their weapons. The weapons are also officially provided, and they are all oak weapons for training. For example, a two-handed sword made of oak and a two-handed hammer made of oak.

And most of the wandering knights are at home, majoring in two-handed swords. Therefore, most of them also choose to fight with oak two-handed swords.

After they all put on the standard plate armor and chose their weapons, the wandering knights and the ordinary elite infantry in charge of the test entered the arena and stood face to face, waiting for the referee's order......

……

The samurai in the West did not have the idea of being a preemptive strike, so after the referee gave the order, the wandering knights shouted loudly, held wooden training weapons in their hands, and rushed towards their opponents......

For a while, on the huge martial arts arena, there were "bangs" and "pops" of wooden weapons colliding. At the same time, there was the dull sound of a wooden weapon striking a plate armor, like the sound of a tin can being struck......

……

"Click-" A strong wandering knight directly smashed the wooden sword, and the Beihai infantry who was in charge of testing him was also smashed to the point that he couldn't recover for a long time.

"Okay, you're done!" The referee quickly separated the two and then declared the wandering knight promoted. After all, this cargo is so fierce, if it breaks the test soldiers, it will be worth the loss.

But even so, a small number of tested soldiers were wounded. The main thing is broken bones, after all, they are wearing plate armor, and the weapons they use are also wooden weapons, and it is unlikely that they will be traumatized. However, when encountering a violent opponent, it is easy to break the arms and legs......

However, this is not a problem. Because, Marin sent two Mongolian doctors, Mozhigen and Batel. Along with the two of them, there are also their proud disciples.

Mongolian doctors may not be as comprehensive as Han Chinese medicine, but they can be at the level of orthopedics, which is definitely top-notch. Because the herdsmen on the steppe are very fierce-tempered, it is common for them to beat each other and get injured, or fall off their horses. This bruise has been treated a lot, and Mongolian orthopedics has also been well developed. Its status can be called a leader. At least, a few eras stronger than European orthopedics.

Therefore, these wounded soldiers were all well treated and did not leave any sequelae.

Moreover, the wandering knights who took part in the test were not stupid. They are here to beg for a job, not to make trouble. In battle, even if the martial arts are particularly good, they will not be killed. Therefore, the wounded soldiers of the North Sea State were not seriously injured.

……

Of course, there are powerful wandering knights, and there are also wandering knights who are indiscriminate.

Some wandering knights with poor martial arts and poor physique are very inconvenient to move after wearing standard plate armor. Then, they were eliminated by the veterans of the Beihai Kingdom......

……|

However, Marin also gave a chance to these eliminated wandering knights with poor physique. What chances? Opportunities to serve as civil servants......

The knight family is also a nobleman, and he also has the opportunity to read and write since he was a child. Although it cannot be compared with those medieval college students, compared with the vast majority of civilians, they are already intellectuals.

Of course, having read a book does not necessarily mean that the level is good. Some bear children may not be able to read even though they have the opportunity to read. Perhaps, after a few years of reading, I still don't know anything.

So, Marin organized a cultural test for these eliminated wandering knights to test their literacy......

And the exam paper from Marin is very simple. The content is mainly German dictation and the basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in elementary school mathematics.

Dictation in German was different from listening in a foreign language in later generations, in that instead of listening to a conversation and making multiple-choice questions, a priest was assigned to read the German version of the Bible and then the knights were asked to write down all the words.

For these wandering knights, this is not foreign language listening, but native language listening! It's as simple as a later generation of teachers reading books and asking children to write out relevant words. After all, this is the native language.

As for mathematics, it is the most basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division at the level below the third grade of primary school, and there are no four mixed operations......

The children of knights were to fight in the future, and generally served as officers. Therefore, they generally learn a little bit of mathematics from an early age. This is because leading troops to fight and making overall arrangements and managing military quarters requires basic mathematical calculations.

……

The reason why Marin picked people so hastily was because these people were the management talents prepared for Adler's Wicklow Earldom.

Although Marin has a lot of primary school students in his hands, primary school students were also considered high-achieving students in ancient Europe, and the supply exceeded the demand. Therefore, Marin did not intend to send schoolchildren to Adler. But the county of Wicklow always needs literate administrators, so Marin simply selects the weak wandering knights who are more literate and can basically add, subtract, multiply and divide among these failed wandering knights, as the civil officials of Adler's county.

Moreover, it is not that Marlin is sloppy in his papers. Rather, the cultural level of the knights of this era is so sloppy...... If there is a difficult test paper, it will definitely be wiped out......
