At sunset, the village was busy, the snow had just cleared, and there wasn't much to do, but William's orders needed to be carried out.

William also selected four servants out of forty-two soldiers, and spent more than three hundred silver coins to arm them, including horses, riding spears, and chain mail, all of which were equipped to rival a knight.

They were Tus, Vidal, Marco, and Duvens, and these four men were the best of William's handpicked selection from these soldiers.

Not only that, but William also selected two of the best soldiers from the remaining soldiers to serve as captains, one named Koko and the other named Kefu.

Koko and Kuff not only needed to train the spear skills, but also needed to learn how to command the soldiers, and of course he did not have the talent for this, so William had to take charge of it himself and command it from memory.

In fact, it is not difficult, the team of thirty-eight people is not so difficult to command, that is, let them hold on, stab out the password and the like, blow the spoon in the mouth when advancing, so that the soldier's footsteps overlap with the whistle.

So, after a long period of training, they are also familiar with how to command these soldiers.

After a quarter of training, the servants learned to ride a war horse and were able to use a spear and a sword less rusty.

William Novin and Urimu also changed their armor, from the original half-body chain mail to the full-body chain mail, except for the face all wrapped in the chain mail.

This kind of chain mail opens from the back, and people can wear it from here, and William also equipped a leather armor inside that can protect the entire upper body, which is far more protective than the previous half-body chain mail.

And the half-body chain mail he had before was eliminated to the four servants, and Urimu and Owin also spent a lot of money to arm two servants each.

The autumn harvest was in full swing, and the day before the end of the autumn harvest, galloping horses broke the tranquility of the village, bringing with them the summoning orders of Baron Comos, in addition to William, as well as the summoning orders of Norwin and Hurim.

William had to carry no less than thirty light infantry to fulfill his obligations to the baron within three days, while Norwin and Hurim needed to lead twenty light infantry, which meant that William needed to select twelve soldiers from among the serfs who were not trained for free-duty in addition to those who were already armed, after all, among the forty-two professional soldiers, there were also the lords of Norwen and Hurim.

It seems that something big happened this time, otherwise Baron Comos would not need to dispatch so many soldiers, as can be seen from the call-up orders received by William and the others.

William did not dare to slack off on the order of the feudal monarch, and hurriedly mobilized men in the village, and Nuwen and Hulimu also sent Hu to mobilize soldiers from the mines that went to them.

But after a while, William had already mobilized all the soldiers needed in the village, William looked at the forty-two strong soldiers in front of him, and felt a burst of pride in his heart, two years of training were not in vain, these soldiers already had all the elite characteristics, even they had been on the battlefield, and there were very few men in this era who had not been on the battlefield.

Shot in two neat rows, holding a special spear of more than three meters, and wearing leather armor decorated with iron plates, they looked very powerful.

The twelve soldiers who were later recruited on the side were much worse, although they had also participated in the previous training, but the time was very short after all, and later William felt that it was enough to have these forty-two professional soldiers who were out of work, so he did not train them again.

What worries William now is that these twelve soldiers who were later conscripted have no weapons, if they are allowed to go to the battlefield like this, it will be no different from sending them to death, these are all his people, these are all labor! He was reluctant to let them die.

"When the time comes, ask the Baron if he has any extra weapons!" William thought. After waiting for a while, William and the others walked out of the village and went to the villages of Norwen and Hurim, ready to join the rest of the levies.

The three men were at the front of the procession, followed by several servants on horseback, and the professional soldiers formed two neat columns, followed by several horse-drawn carriages escorted by the levies, on which were placed the baggage, the armor and equipment of the three Williams and the servants, and the riding spears and the like.

As dusk approached, William's party finally joined up with the levies in Norvin's mined estate, and gathered into a force of seventy or eighty men.

It was dusk, William ordered to set up camp, they had plenty of time, the time given by the baron was three days, and they were not far from the baron's manor, which could be reached on foot for most of the day, and it was only an hour or two on horseback.

William and the three sat around the campfire, several servants were guarding a few meters away, and some of the soldiers were in charge of keeping vigil, so it was relatively safe.

William and the three chatted with each other, explained to the servants, and asked them to follow him closely when the war began.

As the night passed, William got up from the car with a yawn, rubbed his eyes, woke up all the soldiers, and continued on his way to the manor.

When William and the others arrived at the manor, it was the clerk of Tinse who came to receive them, and since it was not the first time, it seemed to be familiar.

Clerk Tence obviously didn't expect William to have such elite soldiers under his command, who looked even more elite than the Baron's armed infantry, and a group of soldiers were wearing leather armor embellished with iron plates! The special spear looks so sharp! The equipment is actually better than that of the Baron's men!

Especially the eight guys behind him who seem to be subordinates, are they really subordinates? An outfit is no worse than the knights under the Baron! Sir William is really rich!

Seeing the surprise of Secretary Tins, William was proud and coughed lightly: "Secretary Tins, take them to the camp, I'll go find Lord Baron first!" ”

"Oh...... Oooh! Got it! Rest assured, Sir William! Only then did Secretary Tinse react, regain his good manners, and said.

William nodded and left the place, and the two squad leaders of Koko Clam Kov followed the clerk of Tence into the camp with seventy or eighty soldiers.

As soon as he walked into the barracks, he immediately caused a lot of reaction, not to mention anything else, just the equipment of these soldiers, compared to the other soldiers, and now there are not many people coming, only nearly a hundred peasants as light infantry in the barracks.

When they saw William's soldiers, they were simply envious, jealous and hateful, and the well-equipped equipment represented a stronger combat effectiveness on the battlefield, and it was easier to walk off the battlefield alive, besides, depending on the body and physique of these people, it was obvious that they had been trained.

But the light infantry didn't understand this, they just thought that the equipment of these people was really good, and it would be nice if they could grab a few pieces, even though these people looked strong......

Where the three men had left, not knowing that the men in the camp had such thoughts about their soldiers, they went to the door of the baron's study, and William knocked on the door, and when he had obtained permission, he pushed the door in.

William walked into the study, and Baron Comos looked up and asked, "Is there something wrong?" William. ”

"Uh...... Lord Baron, I'm here to ...... It's hard to talk about! William was a little embarrassed.

"Haha! It doesn't have to be like this, say William, do you need me to help you? Baron Comos said with a smile.

William scratched his head and said, "Yes, Lord Baron, we need your help!" ”

"You guys?" Baron Comos repeated, glancing at the two behind William.

"Yes, we are! Our conscripted light infantry has no weapons in their hands! I don't want them to go to war and die...... So ......" said William, and did not go on.

"So you want to get some weapons from me to arm your light infantry?" The baron asked with a smirk.

"Yes...... Yes, Lord Baron! William said.

"But this is not in accordance with the rules, if other people know that I provide you with weapons, then they will come to me and ask for it, so how can I afford it?"

"Well, sir......," William said with some disappointment. Norwen and Urimu patted him on the shoulder, and the three of them were about to walk out the door.

Just as they were about to take their leave, Baron Comos said, "Wait! There are still dozens of old weapons in the storeroom, some spears and short swords and the like, you can go and take a look."

"Great, Lord Baron! Thank you so much for your generosity! William was very happy, and the two behind him also leaked smiles.

"But! It's not free! Baron Comos raised his voice and spoke.

William's face was overjoyed and he said, "In this way, how much do you want, sir?" It's too much for us to afford! ”

"Ten silver coins! Take away all those old weapons! The baron said.

William couldn't help but smile on his face, ten silver coins is really not too much for him, but for other knights, it is a quarter or even a third of a year's income, so the baron's price control is really very good, it is not difficult for William, and other knights can't afford it, it is simply a special care for William.

William went out to the clerk of Tins, where he handed over ten silver coins, and went to the camp to take the light infantry to collect the weapons.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the gate of the camp, they heard a commotion, and William and the three of them only felt that it was not good, so they left Secretary Tings and hurriedly ran into the camp.

As soon as William entered the door, he found that two groups were confronting and fighting, one of which was William's soldiers, and more than a dozen people were lying on the ground.

However, it didn't seem that any weapons were used, and it shouldn't be fatal, William rushed in and shouted: "Stop it!" With that, William wheeled his sheathed sword and rushed into the fiercest battle circle, separating them in a few moments.

When William's men saw that it was William, they all bowed their heads and said, "Sir! ”

When the other party heard that William turned out to be a knight, he quickly stopped his hand and stood aside.
