"Since you came here on time, it means that you have made up your mind."

Rose stood on the high platform and glanced at the teenagers below, carefully looking at the immature faces, but on Hawke's determined face, he paused slightly for two or three seconds before he continued to speak: "This is your future glory, and it is the responsibility to defend Miners' Town!" ”

As soon as his words fell, forty militiamen wearing cowhide armor and holding spears stood behind him in four groups, looking at the people below with solemn faces.

This is the elite militia in the training camp, and it is also the backbone of the militia when it comes to combat missions, and in comparison, they are in some ways close to the regular army, especially under the leadership of Rus, and it is quite easy to fight those weak enemies.

However, most of the people who came to the vicinity of the miners town to cause trouble were also short in stature and good at concealing their goblins, this kind of obscene guy can be described as a model of bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and when attacked by the militia, it was basically slaughtered.

"Remember, the militia in Minertown is just the beginning, and the future is in your hands."

Squinting slightly, Rose's burly body was like an iron pillar, even if it was a simple half-sleeved woolen sweater worn on his body, it couldn't stop the hidden power in that body, he turned his head slightly, looked at the wooden door of the armory not far away, waved his hand and said loudly to the two teams of elite militia: "Open the armory, let them each choose their own weapons, and redivide the troops!" ”

"Understood."

The four teams of elite militiamen immediately turned around and walked down the high platform, holding spears and strictly guarding the door of a stone house not far away, and as the ordnance officer opened the wooden door made of hardwood, the dark armory had been slowly opened.

The armory is the most important place for fortresses and castles, and it is often filled with all kinds of weapons and armor, especially during the war years, the armory is absolutely tightly defended, even compared to the food storage room, after all, it is a symbol of its own military strength, even if it is a militia camp, it also attaches great importance to this armory.

"Come with me, pick what you think is good weapons and armor, but don't be too confident."

A ten-person militiaman walked over, looked at the teenagers standing in a mess, and couldn't help frowning slightly, obviously disgusted by this unorganized formation, and said directly and loudly: "All line up and stand, and follow me into the armory in batches to select weapons and armor!" ”

The teenagers immediately moved in a mess, hesitating each other to form a crooked line, although it was extremely ugly, but at least it already had a two-point appearance, and the ten-man leader nodded at him, pointed at the Hawk column and said, "You come with me." ”

Hawke's previous performance can be described as shocking, even the militia are very interested in him, not to mention the little ones with weak hearts, and they show a faint intention to be centered on him.

"Let's go."

Turning his head to look at the long column of more than a dozen people behind him, Pete and John were close behind him, Hawke nodded, this is a good sign, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he walked forward towards the armory first, and a small line of long lines behind him quickly followed, revealing the little faces of excitement and expectation.

The teenagers who came here to become militiamen, after all, were all ordinary children, and there were simply too few who could have a one-handed dagger and shield like Hawke and John, and almost never saw one as fully armed as Edward!

With this outfit and equipment, he can already enter the ranks of elite soldiers a few years older, and even after a few years of formal training, he can become a real knight squire, and then move towards knights again, it is not impossible, but Edward came to the militia camp to become a militia instead, which is indeed a bit interesting.

"Well, it smells bad."

As soon as he entered the armory, a strong musty smell entered his nostrils, Hawke frowned slightly, looking at the weapons and armor placed on the shelves and in the boxes, he couldn't help but shake his head, just look at such rough management, how can there be any good things here? I'm afraid most of them are just barely usable, and they seem to be a bit dangerous to use in battle!

Even Hawke looked not far from his right hand, the several one-handed short swords hanging on the weapon rack, or a few one-handed broken swords were more appropriate, and the obvious front end was crooked and broken, as if it was pressed by some huge force, and it was directly broken.

Sure enough, as soon as Pete entered the armory, he walked quickly towards a shelf, happily reaching out to pick up something, but his face then drooped, and he said helplessly: "This crossbow is really bad..."

In his hand is a wooden light crossbow, but there is only one crossbow arm, and the other side is directly a smooth chopping mark, it seems that an enemy swung his sword close and slashed the crossbow arm of this light crossbow, but looking at the smooth chopping marks of this crossbow arm, you can also know that the soldier who was expecting to block the enemy's attack at that time did not seem to be optimistic.

"It's useless."

Hawke walked over and looked at it, reached out and took the light crossbow, gently tossed it in his hand, shook his head regretfully, shrugged his shoulders at Pete and said, "At least I have been roughly stepped on and fallen a dozen times, and it is quite difficult to repair it." ”

Take a closer look in your hand, not only the crossbow arm has been cut off, but there are also two serious cracks on the crossbow, which are obviously cracks, and the wood used to make it has also begun to deform due to poor maintenance.

"Indeed, the things here are really distressing."

John opened a wooden box with great force, and with a stronger musty smell, he frowned and reached out to take out an iron-inlaid armor, but it had been seriously eroded, and the iron pieces embedded and tied to it in his hand began to fall downward.

The surrounding teenagers also looked at the things they had selected with bitter faces, and they didn't care about the armor in the wooden boxes except for a weapon, except for a few careful teenagers who were lucky enough to find a few barely usable shields, most of them were already tattered and couldn't even be used.

If these things are brought to the battlefield, I am afraid that they will not be able to support a few times, so they can only be used in ordinary training, but there is also a blacksmith shop in the militia training camp, and it will be repaired a little after going out.

"Get out, there's really nothing good in here."

Hawke saw that everyone behind him had already finished choosing, and he took the lead in walking out, the musty smell was still quite unpleasant, he looked at Pete's bitter face, and couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, there will be many opportunities in the future." ”

Although the crossbow is a valuable weapon, it is not an unacceptable thing, if you convert it to the Chinese yuan in the previous life, it is only more than 10,000 yuan, although the so-called more than 10,000 yuan is painful to spend, but if you really want to buy one, it is still possible.

"Of course, but it always feels bad." Pete shrugged helplessly, he only had a short sword now, and if there were no accidents, he would probably only be able to become a melee fighter in this short period of time.

"Hey, Pete."

John, who was walking behind, suddenly greeted him, patted Pete and Hawk on the shoulders in front of him, and then walked out of the queue and walked briskly behind the wooden door, but in the puzzled eyes of the others, he suddenly turned out a half-old skin bag in the pile of rags.

And there were five slender sticks stuck in this leather bag, and he walked back with a smile and handed it to Pete, and said with a smile: "I think this thing should still be suitable for you now." ”

"Light javelins? Oh, thank you so much! ”

Pete raised his eyebrows slightly, reached out and took it and pulled out one directly, the tip of the spear was sharp and intact, it didn't look like it had been used a few times, even if it was used by the regular army, it was not shabby, and it could be said that it was a lot of luck to be found in this kind of armory.

"So you have your own weapons, which is good." Hawke smiled and nodded, led the team out, looking at the teenagers who were still beautiful and expectant, he couldn't help but shake his head, as long as he entered it, I am afraid that there will be many disappointed.

However, the next three years were just militia training, and even at night they went back to their homes to sleep, and only after becoming a real militia did they have to rest in the barracks and wait for tasks that could arise at any time.

And these three years are also an important period for their group of teenagers to learn basic combat skills, and it is not so much a training base as a militia battalion, but a public academy in a sense, but it is the kind of academy that learns to fight.
