Chapter 10: The Little-Headed Kriza

The Kriza cavalryman drew an arrow from his waist, pulled the bowstring, and with a "jump", shot out.

A robber arrived, and the arrow feathers on his forehead were still trembling slightly.

Kill with one hit! The robber's death made the others feel close, but they were all on guard, with shields raising their shields and without shields holding their weapons in front of them.

The galloping cavalry fired a second arrow, but this one missed, and no one was hit.

"Bang!" There was a muffled sound all his life, and it turned out that the cavalry on the horse fell, and when the cavalry fell from his horse, a stone fell to the ground together, and it was actually a stone that knocked him out!

William almost burst out laughing when he saw this scene, it was so funny, the Kriza cavalry, who had been so powerful before, was knocked unconscious by a small stone.

It is almost like making people laugh out of their big teeth when they say it, and it is precisely like this that the robbers were stunned for a while, and laughed at random, all looking for the person who threw the stone.

After a while, several robbers walked up to the Kriza cavalry, intending to kill him with their swords, and William watched for a while, and found that the Kriza horseman was about the same age as him, and looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old.

William was moved by compassion and begged him for a favor, and although they were not happy, they reluctantly spared his life, but his whole body Magyar scale armor and wrought iron helmet were taken away.

dragged the fainted Kriza boy and walked back to the place where the two rested, and brought them back to the cottage

At this point, the armed forces of the caravan were completely wiped out, not counting the four women in the carriage, there were seven or eight carts of goods alone, in which there were ale, bacon, linen, some small objects, not only that, but also found a small box of silver coins, about a hundred, and nearly a thousand copper coins.

Don't underestimate the value of silver coins, five silver coins can make a family of five live for a month, a good one-handed sword costs only five silver coins, and here, a set of chain mail with iron plates is only fifteen silver coins, even if it is a valuable horse, it is only thirty silver coins.

In converting copper coins into silver coins, there are nearly 100 pieces, and this battle has earned more than 200 silver coins alone, plus goods and horses, the total value is about 800 silver coins.

These 800 gold coins can already arm more than 100 armed infantry, that is to say, if the bandit leader Pamir is willing to spend money, he can arm all the robbers under his command, a set of chain mail equipment is about 30 silver coins, an armed infantry can be armed with about 40 silver coins, and these 800 silver coins can arm 20 elite bandits, which can be used as the elite descendants of Pamir.

However, after returning to the cottage, Pamir did not seem to have any plans in this regard, he exchanged the goods for silver coins and distributed them, about more than three hundred, even William got one, and Norwen was given five silver coins because of his bravery in battle.

After the distribution, the remaining more than 400 silver coins belonged to him, obviously he was also a man with no ambition and no knowledge, if William had so much money, he would definitely have to arm his soldiers, with armor and without armor are completely two levels.

Armor directly affects morale, courage, and casualties, these are very important on the battlefield, just imagine, two sides of the war, one side has armor, one side does not, then the side with armor must be high morale, because of the armor, many times will not be injured, it directly affects the courage of the soldiers, and many times, the courage of the soldiers also represents the morale of the army.

On the other hand, the side without armor, because it does not have enough protection, will also cower when fighting, and dare not step forward, after all, it is easy to get injured without protection, so the equipment of both sides also has a great impact on morale.

And the era of cold weapons, in fact, not only the era of cold weapons, including until modern times, once the casualties of the army exceed thirty percent, then the elite troops will also collapse, and the armor will reduce the casualties, to some extent, armor can directly affect the victory or defeat of a war.

After William went to the battlefield, he was obviously much more diligent than before, and he no longer needed Norwen's urging, because he didn't want to be a corpse on the battlefield.

After this day's training, William wandered around the cottage, which was actually very boring, and the small cottage would be finished soon.

It was really boring, so William returned to the stable, and Norwen was still training at this time, and there was a lot of delay in training William.

So there was only the fainting Kriza boy in the stable, and the Kriza boy had been in a coma all night and had not woken up until this afternoon.

William nestled in the haystack, intending to rest for a while, just lay down, just a little sleepy, only to hear a crackling and tossing, as if someone had come in.

But it doesn't seem that anyone usually comes here, William opened his eyes and scolded angrily: "Who, don't live anymore?" Are the days gone? It's so tossed! ”

As he spoke, he got up from the haystack, but when he looked at it, William smiled, and it turned out that the Kriza boy had woken up.

The Kriza boy glanced privately as if he was looking for something. "Don't look for it, there's no weapon you can get your hands on." William reminded lazily as he spoke, patting the one-handed sword hanging from his waist, the one he had captured from the caravan guards earlier.

William didn't intend to let him understand what he said, after all, the language must be different depending on the race, William's race is called "Lorde" similar to the Germanic people in the previous life, and this Kriza people should be similar to the Eastern Europeans, Huns, and Magyars in the previous life, so the language should be incomprehensible.

But what William didn't expect was that the Creza would be able to understand and say in innocent Loerde: "Who are you?" Where is this? ”

William laughed, "Have you forgotten? You were knocked unconscious by us with a stone, you were captured by us, and we were supposed to execute you, but I am a kind-hearted person who helped you ask for a favor, so you survived. ”

Hearing that William saved him, his vigilance lowered a little, but he still didn't seem to fully trust William, but this is normal, no one will believe the enemy immediately, even if that person said he saved himself.

"So, what's your name?" William then asked.

"Zarhan. The young man pursed his lips and said his name, his name should be similar to the Eastern surname, the surname comes first, and the first name comes last, representing respect and importance for ancestors, not like these Western names, the first name comes first, and the surname comes last.

"Urimu, good name" William struggled to find a topic to make the scene less awkward.

"Hmm" Yu Limu replied stiffly, and the scene was extremely embarrassing.

"Uh...... Your name is very nice, your father gave it to you, how is your father's health? William reluctantly continued to look for topics.

Hu Limu glanced at William, and said without waves: "It's dead!" ”

"Uh...... I'm sorry! You know I didn't mean to," William said embarrassedly, not expecting to poke the other party's wound at the casual question.

"Hmm" Yu Limu replied lightly, and the stable fell into embarrassment again.

William was bored with himself, so he didn't speak, but just admonished: "You can live here in the future, there are only two people living here, counting you as the third."

……

When it was getting dark, Norwen came back, and he brought back a small pot of oatmeal porridge and three pieces of black bread.

William hated the food of the people of this era, this lump of liquid is hard to imagine that it is something that can be eaten, William always looks at this oatmeal porridge and vomit or something, the black bread is not just the fluffy and salty bread, but is not made of low-quality flour that is not fermented at all, according to the Chinese saying, it is a dead dough cake, and in the twenty-first century it is something that even dogs do not eat, so William's appetite has not been very good.

"Norwen, will you let Urimu train with me in the future?" William asked, tentatively.

Norwen glanced at Urimu, then at William, and said with a deep groan: "I'm sorry William, I'm just your knight mentor alone, and I'm not in charge of anyone else." ”

"Oh, that's rightβ€”" William was a little disappointed, but still didn't say much.

"Butβ€”" Noven's next words gave William hope, "but what? ”

"I'm sure you can become a knight in the future, so let's train your servant first, but only if he agrees to be your servant." Norwen spoke to William, but looked at Urimu.

"Of course, he'll agree." William said happily, it seems that Norwen is still very good at talking, otherwise he would not have trained Hu to say this in advance.

"Right? Urimu! William touched his elbow to the wood and said.

"Hmm." Hu Limu's personality was dull, but he just agreed and nodded.

Since then, William and Hurim have been training together every day, eating and sleeping together, and there are some entertainment activities, which has made the relationship between William and Hurim skyrocket.

During this period, he and William talked about him, and it turned out that the Kriza people were the same as the Loerdes, only a small number of nobles had surnames, and a small number of commoner surnames were ancestors who were once nobles, and their descendants became commoners when they were down.

The surname Zarhan is also a noble surname, his father is the head of an Eastern Kriza tribe, the tribe is not too big, there are four or five thousand people, there are nearly a thousand warriors who can fight, and he also has some say in the tribal alliance.

However, during a hunt, his uncle Turgus, his father's younger brother, after careful planning, killed his father and seized the position of the tribal chief, and in order to prevent trouble, he also killed his brother and his eldest nephew, and according to custom, married his mother.

The story is very old-fashioned, but it is a hatred for Hu Limu, speaking of which, Hu Limu has changed his tone when he speaks, and tears are falling down, but because of his face, he quickly wiped it with his sleeve.

"I really didn't expect your experience to be so tragic!" William comforted him by the shoulders of Urimu. "Don't worry, I'll avenge you, me and you."

"Hmm" Yu Limu snorted and nodded, obviously, he didn't take these words seriously, he just thought that his friend deliberately comforted him and said this.

"Urimu!" William shook his shoulders vigorously and moved his face, "Look at me!" I mean really, I and you, you and your hatred, and my dreams, we will organize a huge army, I will build my own great kingdom, I will also help you, kill your enemies, and take back your tribe! Believe me! ”
