Rand didn't remember how much he had drunk that night, only that he was cheering and dancing around a group of soldiers.

It wasn't until the next morning that Rand felt a splitting headache, and he woke up from his hangover when his personal servant came to remind him that the Ranirus merchant ship was about to depart.

As for the price of the war horse, it had already been negotiated before the start of the banquet yesterday, and Lanilus did not ask the rand to pay all at once, but first proposed that it would be not too late to pay when the rand had sufficient funds.

In his words, the Peruvian family is not short of money for the time being, and you need it very much.

Rand understood that Lanilus's approach amounted to an investment.

But Rand did not alike this approach, Ranny Ruth was a businessman, he valued the benefits generated by the future development of the air ferry territory, and what he needed to start his own business was money, and both sides took what they needed, which was the safest cooperative relationship.

"This thing is pretty easy to use. Standing on the deck, Lanilus, with a musket in his hand, made a false shot at the birds in the sky, "Bang!

"Your Excellency, you're ready to go. The captain stepped forward and reminded, "We have to go north to buy stone." ”

Lanilus watched as the sailors put away their heavy anchors and looked farther away at the Empty Ferry Territory, which was still barren, but he believed that the next time he arrived, he would be amazed by the changes in the Air Ferry Territory.

Rand Capet......

Thinking of the name, a smile appeared on the corner of Lanilus's mouth: "Very unusual guy." ”

"Let's go!" Lanilus waved to Touron and the officials who had come to see him off on the shore, "Goodbye, all of you from the Empty Ferry Leader!"

"Let's go!"

The merchant ships of the Peruvian family sailed mightily through the shallow waters and down the Serra River to the north.

Several were stopped outside the toll booth, and the merchant ships of the other families looked at Lanilus's distant back with surprised and envious eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey, queue up, what are you looking at?" the soldier's gruff voice woke them up.

"Well, can it be cheaper, our family business is very profitable......" said one of the captains with a sad face.

"Then why don't you buy a package?" Meerkats smiled professionally, "Learn about our recent promotions? Buy 10 get 1 free!"

"This, this ......"

"Don't be satisfied? It's okay, look at this, fleet tickets! Only one pass is needed, all the merchant ships of the entire family can be reused, and now you can get a 20% discount!"

Since the last time in the shallow waters, the mongoose sank a merchant ship with an extremely tough attitude, there has been no forced passage, and the toll booth is gradually on the right track, but as the income increases, the reputation of the rand also gets worse.

I don't know when it began, the mouth of the southern merchant began to spread the evil deeds of a guy nicknamed "Capet Peel".

It is rumored that he was arrogant, blocked the road and robbed to raise taxes, and was so greedy that he plucked his feathers, and even the fishing boats passed by and were picked up with two baskets of salted dried fish.

The merchants wanted to cry without tears, they couldn't beat them, they didn't dare to scold, they could only curse silently in their hearts, hoping that a lightning bolt would fall from the sky and kill this clever vampire.

But God didn't seem to hear the prayers of the merchants, and after a long time, the vampires were still alive and well.

Ever since the Empty Ferry had his own warhorse, Payne had been noticeably busy.

As a veteran knight leader, Payne was one of the few instructors in the Empty Crossing Command who could teach his soldiers how to ride horses.

In the clearing south of the Empty Ferry Territory, it was cleared by the soldiers and used as a temporary horse farm, and Payne was in charge of teaching the recruits how to be a good cavalryman every day.

Standing at the strongest end of the line, Payne looked at the excited or nervous soldiers in front of him, and couldn't help but think of his former self, standing there just like them, leading a pony, full of excitement waiting for the instructors to give the command to "get on the horse".

He cleared his throat, riding a horse is not a simple matter, especially for novices, horses have different levels of recognition for everyone, some horses are stubborn and have to fight with their masters, and they have to clean up a few times to be obedient, while some horses are gentle and obedient, and very easy to get started.

Before a knight trains to ride a horse, he must first practice his horse sense, and his consciousness must be transmitted to the horse naturally with body language, which is why some knights do not even need to pull the reins, and the horse can run obediently according to his wishes.

But the most important thing is not to be afraid, if you start to fear every time you get on horseback and you can't get over it, you will never be a cavalryman.

The first thing Payne had to train his soldiers was his fear and fear of horseback riding.

"Before becoming a cavalryman, I want you to understand that the meaning of the word cavalry is not just to own a horse is a cavalry. Payne walked at the front of the queue and shouted loudly, making sure that his voice could reach the ears of every soldier: "Man and horse cooperate to inflict several times the damage on the enemy on the battlefield, fast as the wind, as fast as fire, and rapid combat is the true meaning of cavalry." ”

"Now, I'm going to teach you the most basic things about cavalry. ”

"Get on and off the horse, pay attention, I'm only going to demonstrate it once. Payne stood in front of the left shoulder of his mount, facing the direction of the saddle, grabbed the reins and mane with his left hand, then stepped on the stirrup with his left foot, and directly touched the ground with his right foot, and spun half a circle to sit on the horse's back, "Dismount, in a flashback." ”

"Now let's start practicing. ”

"It doesn't look that difficult......

"It's very simple, isn't it just to grab the horse's mane and climb up, I used to ride my little donkey, I'll try it first. ”

The soldiers discussed in a chaotic manner, and began to practice getting on their horses according to the steps Payne had taught.

"Oh yes, this horse is too high! I can't climb up!"

"My palms are sweaty, I can't hold it......"

"Eh, don't run, stop!" One soldier frightened the horses for some unknown reason and began to gallop in all directions.

Looking at the group of unfounded guys in front of him, Payne sighed with a little headache.

Finally, when the guy got the frightened horse back, Payne felt that if they were allowed to practice on their own, they might not be able to learn how to get on the horse for half a month.

"If the horse is taller, you can put your left foot on the stirrup first, and put your right foot on the ground a few more times to get on the horse's back with the force of impact. ”
