Chapter 6 Preparing for the Robbery
In addition to running and push-ups, Norwen also arranged a lot of other training for William, such as using stones instead of barbells, using tree branches and Norwen to practice swordsmanship, in short, William's compulsory course for knights was not left behind.
Five days later, Norwen, who was supervising the training, and William, who was in training, received an order from the bandit leader Ness, saying that they were going down the mountain to do a big vote, and the two had to stop training, and even William, a rookie, had to go out together.
"Nice, is William going too? He's just joined, and he's just a rookie. Norwen frowned and asked, he really didn't want this future knight who was still in training to risk going to battle right now.
"He has to go, Norwen you know, this is what the big leader means, not to mention that he is also very strong, how can he not go to the battlefield? Remember Nowen, we don't raise idlers! Ness looked at Novon and said word by word.
Norwen pursed his lips, frowned, and after a moment of silence, he compromised: "Okay, I can let him go to war, but he must stay by my side." ”
"Yes, you can be like a groundhog in a field when we tear the enemy apart." Ness scoffed.
Norwin glanced at Ness and didn't speak, but it was clear that he was suppressing the anger in his heart, and the knights' most common words were: honor is my life, and knights value glory more than their own lives.
Ness really annoyed him by saying that, but he wasn't really a knight yet, and he was still working under other people's hands, and it was stupid to offend him now, so Norwin didn't attack on the spot.
Back at the stable, after Nice was gone, Norwin returned to the small open space outside the stable, and said to William, who had already adapted to training: "Don't train anymore, save your strength, there will be a battle, and you will also participate." ”
"Oh...... Ahh I'm also participating? William didn't react at first, but later he realized that he was going to go to war!
Counting up, it has only been five or six days since William crossed over here, and even if he understands that there will be battles at any time in this era, but in his inner subconscious, he still does not have these realizations, and his way of thinking and acting is still stuck in the thoughts of modern people.
Going to the battlefield or something, although he also thought about it, but he didn't expect to participate in the battle so soon, and the mood that he was looking forward to it suddenly cooled down, and people are afraid of death.
"Yes, you have to go too. Get ready, go to battle, and take your dagger and follow me. Norwin found a pile of hay and lay down, closed his eyes and recuperated in preparation for battle.
William lowered his eyes, nodded silently, and found a place to lie down.
After about an hour or so, a robber entered the stables and shouted, "Get up old hound Norwen, and the head wants us to go find him at once!" Maybe I'm going to gnaw on some bones, hahaha..."
Ignoring his provocation, Norwin picked up his slightly rusty medieval sword, put on the light leather armor that had been placed aside, and headed outside, as for the "Old Hound", a title that had been in place since the fight with them six days earlier.
William also heard the call of the robbers, although he was a little angry after hearing the name Old Hound, but he still didn't dare to come forward, the otaku personality in his previous life had too much influence on him, not to mention that he was not a warrior yet.
He picked up his dagger and followed Norwin to where Nice was to be.
After a while, the two of them arrived at the house where Nice was, and saw that in addition to Nice, there were also those robbers who had fought with Norwen.
Seeing that Norwen came in with William, they all opened their mouths to mock:
"Old Hound Norwen, you're late!"
"Yes, old hound Norwen, grandfather knight!"
For a moment, the voices in the room of only six or seven people were about to lift the ceiling, and the sound of ridicule and insults was endless, most of these robbers were serfs and hooligans, what could they say in their mouths? Norwen gritted his teeth and didn't fight back.
Seeing that Norwen did not have a seizure, Ness nodded with satisfaction, and stopped the robbers' coaxing and insults: "Shut up! Shut up! Be quiet! ”
William saw that Ness had stopped them, and thought that he was defending the two of them, and his impression of him was much better.
In fact, this is because William was too homely in his previous life, and he didn't have enough social experience, and if he was a person who often mixed in society, he could definitely see the cattiness at a glance.
You know, even if these leaders in the West don't have as many tricks as the East, they still have a deterrent effect, if he really wants to help William and them, then the robbers stopped them at the beginning, instead of watching the robbers humiliate them for so long.
"Norwen, you're a little late, but it's good to catch up, now, follow me to where the big boss is, it's a big business!" Ness said.
After saying that, ignoring Norwen's reaction, he walked out of the door with the robbers, and when one of the robbers walked out of the door, he turned around and made a mouth, and William could see that he was talking about the book "Old Hound".
William could see it, it was impossible for Norwen not to see it, for a moment, Tie Blushe's face was blue, and William could even see his masseter muscles drumming and shaking, obviously gritting his teeth.
Soon, he suppressed his anger and walked out of the room to catch up with the group, with William following in his tracks.
After walking for a while, the group walked to the door of a small building, which covers an area of about three or four hundred square meters, which is a very large building, this is the place where the robber leader gathered his men, William had seen it outside once before, and this was the first time he came in.
William glanced around secretly, and there were about seventy or eighty people in the hall, and they were all divided into small groups of seven or eight, eight or nine people.
And in the middle part, there is a large gang of thirty or forty people, and the expression is also very arrogant, combined with the form that Norwen introduced to him before, William knows that it is the direct subordinate of the bandit leader.
I saw that at the front of the hall, a man sat on a chair, and thought with his toes that it was the bandit leader, and I saw that the bandit leader had a face full of flesh, a beard and a very sloppy face, and a figure that I don't know whether he was strong or fat, and he couldn't judge under the shroud of chain mail and animal skin armor, in short, he didn't look good.
What qualities can robbers have, so the hall at this time is very noisy, and there are endless foul words, shouting how powerful they are and how many people they have killed, but the leader of the robbers is not only not angry, but is in a good mood, is he happy with the bravery of his men? Unknown.
After a while, several groups of people came one after another, and it seemed that everyone had arrived, and the leader of the robbers stood up from his chair: "Quiet! Be quiet! ”
However, it may be because the hall is so noisy that few people hear his words.
At this moment, the leader of the robbers got angry, picked up the long sword beside him, and struck it on the ground, and his colleague cursed loudly: "Enough! Shut up! Shut up you filthy pigs, garbage, shit! ”
His words were clearly heard by some people, and the voice gradually faded, and those who did not hear also stopped talking because of the people around them, and for about a minute, the hall was much quieter, but there were still some people below who exchanged words with others.
"Now I will tell you, robber lads, that just ten miles away (about a kilometer) away there is a caravan full of ale, jerky, all kinds of goods, copper coins, and our lads say that there are four or five women in it, and if we can take this caravan, we will be rich." The leader of the robbers said in a seductive voice.
The robbers below were suddenly boiling when they heard this, such caravans are rare, usually they can only rob those merchants and villages, such a scale is unprecedented, not to mention that there are four or five women, although this is a robber's den, but there are really not many opportunities to touch women.
"But," said the bandit chief, "they also have a number of guards, and it seems that there are three Kriza riders, and a dozen armed infantrymen, and twenty caravan guards, free bandit boys, are you cowardly?" Scared? ”
"Don't be afraid!"
"There are so many of us, they are only thirty or forty people, what are they afraid of?"
"For the sake of women's wealth, don't be afraid!"
The robbers roared and screamed, and wealth and women were already filling their minds.
From the performance of these robbers, it can be seen that the means of the robber leader are definitely not low, taking advantage of people's desire for wealth and human greed, a word mobilizes the morale of the robbers, emphasizes that the enemy also has some strength, and uses the method of agitation to stimulate the ferocity of the robbers.
There are really some tricks, no wonder you can control more than a hundred bandits and eight bosses to become the leader of the bandits.
"Robber lads! Get rich today, follow me! Your leader, the free forest baron Pamir, I will lead you to victory and tear apart the enemy! Pamir, the leader of the bandits, drew his sword and held it high, encouraging the robbers below.
"Oooh! Victory! Baron of the Forest Pamir! The robbers below raised their weapons and cheered loudly, as if they had successfully robbed the caravan.
"Come with me!" With a wave of his sword, Pamir put on the semi-enclosed iron pot helmet that was placed aside, and walked out of the hall, and the robbers behind him also followed, especially the thirty or forty Pamir descendants in the middle, all of whom gathered around him.
William and Norwen did not seem to be tempted, the kind of exciting words in the eyes of the robbers, but William was not affected by this, after seeing countless people's moving speeches, his vision had already become high, and even felt that the speech of the robber leader was clumsy, as for why Norwen was not encouraged...... Then it is unknown.
