"His soldiers have been busy training lately, and they have relaxed a lot of conservatism about the arsenal," Baron Ziluo smirked smugly, "It's not too difficult for you to kill the guards at the gate, is it?"

"When you're done, I'll give you a manor!"

And just as Rand looked at Baron Ziluo's family property and was about to let Payne lead people to intercept the plunder on the way, Baron Ziluo also formulated a series of plans to deal with Rand after discussing with the nobles.

When Rand walked to the school yard again, he was already alone, and Payne had already begun to prepare his own plan for robbery, with a total of twenty-eight knights under his command, except for the dead Marko, he was confident that he could use this power to complete a perfect plunder.

Instead of Payne to train recruits, there was a veteran sheriff with Mobei blood, he used to be a member of the Imperial City Guard, and later because he was wounded in battle, he retired to the air ferry territory, nicknamed Iron Fist, as his name suggests, a pair of fists with a great record, more than 1.9 meters tall, full of exaggerated muscles, almost like a humanoid beast.

Rand walked to the city wall, the recruits were training with spears, in just ten days, Rand did not expect them to be proficient in all kinds of weapons, and not afraid of danger, but obedience and neatness should still be there.

"Thorn!"

"Hah!"

A team of more than 100 people let out a neat roar, and stabbed the wooden spears in their hands desperately forward, not daring to spare a little strength, after a week of training, the recruits have fully understood how strict and perverted their instructor, nicknamed Iron Fist, is.

They even began to miss the original instructor Payne, who was on par in severity but more simple and brutal than Payne's method of education.

Don't listen to orders, fight!

Not neat enough, hit!

The strength is not enough, hit!

Lazy to complain, or fight!

Stealing and playing slippery, evading training, and beating hard!

During this week, almost every recruit was whipped by the Iron Fist, and under the strong pressure, the recruits had to desperately follow the instructions of the Iron Fist, even if their arms were numb and their bodies were like falling apart, but they still had to stab the spears out of their hands again and again.

But under the harsh training, the effect is also excellent, compared to the beginning of the scattered sand, they are more like a whole at this time, with the ability to work together.

"Your Excellency gives you silver coins every month, but you don't want to eat and drink enough to lie down and bask in the sun!" Iron Fist walked in the middle of the ranks, shouting loudly: "In ten days, you will be included in the formation, follow behind the veterans, and participate in the battle to defend the air crossing territory!"

"You will face hungry red-eyed beasts, and barbarians over two and a half meters tall!"

"You will fight them with your spears, and you will have no way back!"

"If you want to have more chances to survive at that time, you can't be lazy in training!"

After this period of training, the recruits finally understood that the training they underwent was really to be used on the battlefield, although many recruits were a little discouraged when they thought of the terrifying barbarians, but when they saw their companions training together, they didn't seem to be so scared, not to mention, where could they go if they left here?

They can't even afford to buy food rations for the winter, so they can at least earn some money to support their families if they stay here.

"Thorn!"

"Close!"

Iron Fist shouted the order, and Rand noticed that the recruits were much better at the angle and strength of their stabs than they had been a few days before, and he was still satisfied with the result.

"Keep training, no one is allowed to rest until I shout the stop command!" Iron Fist saw Rand's figure in his spare eyes and walked slowly from the city wall.

Rand has been very busy lately, busy drawing drawings at night, dealing with some government affairs reported by villages and towns, inspecting the city defense of the wooden house town and the placement of obstacles outside the door in the morning, and instructing the soldiers on some practical operation tips about the ballista in the afternoon, such as how to improve accuracy, how to change the attack mode by mobilizing the roller, from single shot to multiple shots.

During the day, only a little time is found at noon to review the training of recruits.

"Your Excellency. Iron Fist took two quick steps and saluted Rand.

"How's the training?" Rand waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be restrained, to be honest, he didn't like these Western etiquette very much, it was a bit cumbersome.

Iron Fist walked forward with Rant, although the soldiers saw Rand, but no one dared to stop their movements to take the initiative to salute Rand, Iron Fist left a very strong shadow in their hearts, so that they did not dare to do anything privately until they heard the next command.

"Obedience barely passed, but for the combat effectiveness may not be much improved, after all, the time is too short, it will take at least a few months to improve the physique of the recruits, compared to the farmers, these boys only have some advantages in execution. Iron Fist told Rand the results of his training that it was okay for these recruits to use them for logistics, but it would be a bit unqualified to let them go to war.

Rand nodded, this result is similar to what he imagined, a team with a certain combat effectiveness cannot be trained in a short period of time, they need the baptism of war and actual combat to temper.

But for Rand, this level of recruits is enough, this battle to defend the air crossing is mainly long-range combat, using the advantage of weapons to control the enemy from a hundred meters away to shoot, and once they are penetrated, the soldiers only need to use spears on the city wall to stab the beasts that want to break through the city gates, and the task of the recruits is to do the logistics for the veterans, help fill ammunition and carry supplies.

If an accident occurs, and the casualties are serious and it is difficult to support the impact of the beast tide, the recruits will take the vacant position.

"In terms of logistics, I think they can still do it, after all, after training, they will not be scared to the sight of barbarians as they were at the beginning. Rand nodded.

"All soldiers, listen to my commands!" Iron Fist clapped his hands and shouted loudly.

The soldiers quickly straightened up, their chests and backs straight, and while it was tiring, Iron Fist was not sympathetic to his subordinates, and he didn't mind letting the hapless man taste the whip if he found out that anyone was not up to par.

"My lord, do you want to give them a lecture?"

Rand looked at the thin, hungry recruits, in a few days, they would climb the city wall and fight with Rand to defend the Sky Crossing Territory, but I don't know how many of them will survive after this winter?

"Ladies and gentlemen, I do not wish you glory and wealth. ”

"May you live longer. ”
