Chapter 24: Bandits?

Irina, who was still very resistant to work, ran out after breakfast, which shows the temptation of food.

Luther smiled and said a word of foodie, and followed Canadian Solar to see the militia's training.

The militia's equipment configuration is a long sword and a crossbow, although the number of crossbows is not enough at present, but this thing is simple to operate, so it can be used in rotation and can be proficient.

"Chop, chop, stab......"

"The movement should be fast and steady, and the unsuitable two-handed sword should not be blocked by the other party at once......"

The shouts continued to ring out in the crowd, and the militia were being trained by Erik, the knightly commander of Baron Santos.

Eric is constantly demonstrating, having the militia imitate, and then finding corrections for incorrect movements, which is the most time-consuming, but also the most correct.

It's not so easy to get to the ground quickly, so that these militias know how to defend and attack when they are close to them, at least so that they don't wait to die or mess around like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Luther's instructions before leaving were to give them some self-protection ability, and emphasized the issue of discipline, if there were stupid crossbow arrows in the chaos and hurt their own people, it would be too pitiful.

After noticing Luther and Canadian Solar, Eric shouted to continue training, and then walked over to him.

The recruits continued their training after a few discussions, and they also knew that if they wanted to save their lives, they had to work hard, and it was better to do than not to do it.

"Lord Earl. ”

"Well, I just stopped by to see you, how are these militiamen?

Eric's expression stiffened slightly, but he still shook his head and said, "The people of Searsburg haven't been trained in normal times, so ......

However, if you only use ranged weapons, you can do that. ”

Not only has every militia been able to satisfy him after so many days, but there are still many people who are not proficient in using the long sword, which also makes Eric very nervous.

Luther looked at the chaotic queue and many strange movements in the field and sighed, he felt that it was fortunate that he didn't count on these people to ask for help, otherwise it would be really troublesome.

"Ahem. Luther, who felt a little blushing after coughing dryly, said: "No way, Searsburg's situation was not very good before.

It's been a hard time for you, and when the housekeeper returns, everyone will be able to eat something good today, and you remember to come to the castle when the time comes. ”

I have to say that Baron Santos is a good partner, and the people sent are also very down-to-earth, the soldiers and knights quickly integrated into the new team without complaining, and the knight commander began to train the militia the day after entering Sears.

"My Honourable Earl, do you have any other commands?"

Luther smiled and waved at the somewhat old-fashioned Eric to signal that it was okay, and the other party returned to the training ground.

"Solar, do you think this guy can dig it up?"

Although the mature and steady person has an unpleasant personality, he really has nothing to say about doing things, and this knight commander Luther is also eyeing it, and if he has the opportunity, he must get it from Baron Santos.

"It shouldn't be possible, unless the Baron agrees to your request. It took a long time for Canadian Solar to come up with such a sentence.

"Of course I do, but can't you comfort me?" Luther knew that although the knights were a little degraded now, the principle of loyalty would not be easily violated.

Luther was a little distressed to see that the talent was not his own, but according to Baron Santos's gambling nature, it is not impossible to estimate that the price is enough.

......

At noon, when the butler still did not return, Luther instructed the servant to get some food and began his training again.

At present, the preliminary arrangements are almost done, and all that remains is to wait for the housekeeper to bring back any useful information.

After returning, according to the information inquired by the butler, it seems that the known strength of the Minahir family is really quite a lot, at least 800 soldiers plus 20 knights.

You must know that each knight can accompany at least 5 squires, and these people are usually trained, so they are cavalry or cavalry captains when they get on the horse, so if there are enough horses, Luther guessed that there are 200-300 cavalry and knights on the opposite side.

This is only the estimation of the Minahir family, and the remaining two small families together have a few hundred soldiers, so he is now very concerned about whether the spies can get detailed information, even if it is brief.

It was near evening, and the butler, who had been in the dust, had returned with men, and all the soldiers who accompanied him were disheveled and some of them wounded.

You don't need to look at it to know that someone has attacked Luther's anger, these people don't follow the rules, then don't blame the young master, I will be merciless at that time.

"Young master, let's go back and talk about it. After the butler ordered someone to handle the goods and treat the wounded, he saw an angry Luther walking out with an American Solar, and hurriedly whispered.

After returning to the castle, the butler explained the situation, and it turned out that the butler had been targeted on the way back from the territory of Gvar, and the group of people was bandits, according to the butler's guess, it should have been found by the Minahir family, or by the other two families.

Because his nature is difficult to change, he stared at the housekeeper of the purchase after being idle for so many days, and then followed all the way to a place where there were few people before starting to do it.

But what they didn't expect was that the person they were targeting was actually a big knight, so none of the more than 30 bandits who came over ran away, and in the end, they were also solved by the housekeeper after catching two questions.

There are only a dozen soldiers and 3 servants who follow the housekeeper to purchase, and it is really thanks to the fact that the housekeeper is a big knight to win more than 30 people.

"Young master, there are about 200 of them in total, divided into bandits from 4 different places, they should be used to attack us at that time, but now they are exposed. ”

The butler's black butler uniform that he wore all year round was also cut a few times at this time, but it didn't seem to be injured, which also made Luther breathe a sigh of relief.

"Do you think we should pretend we don't know, or should we kill them first? By the way, did anyone see you being attacked? Did those people tell anyone else when they came up with you?"

"No one saw that they were just a group of small bandits, more than 30 people in all, and according to them, this time they were the least numerous, so the benefits promised were the least.

It happened to be aimed at me because they had already had the idea of escaping after the fight, because they were worried that they would either be exterminated by the Santos family or blackened by their peers.

The bandits also confessed that they had robbed 3 caravans these days, and they were all left alive, obviously tasting the sweetness. ”

"A bunch of idiots. Luther snorted, if he wants to run, he won't run immediately, it's not because of greed, he probably has the intention of grabbing a batch afterwards and leaving.
