Section 522: The Choice of Man (2)
Marin said that he wanted to select a group of marksmen, and immediately obtained the recommendation of the National Order, and Mr. Priest recommended a few young men for Marin who said that they were good, Marin first accepted them, and then pulled a teleportation channel directly to the workshop, and picked ten high-precision bolt rifles to bring back to Copenhagen.
Suder and Rhodes were already present, and the nice young men naturally expressed a certain hostility towards them.
Marin handed them twenty rounds of ammunition with a gun, and then motioned for them to start shooting at the longest-distance target of 300 yards, the first ten rounds to find the feeling, and the last ten rounds to calculate the results.
Then Marin found a chair and sat down, and Mr. Marin immediately walked over: "Your Excellency Marin, those two civilians, are you looking for them?" β
"Yes, they were the ones I met on my way back to Copenhagen, and they were able to hit animals a hundred yards away in a blizzard, and I felt that they would be very good marksmen, and they seemed to be worth training."
Talent is a different thing, and Marin felt that of the two young men, the boy named Suder had a very strong talent for a sniperβcalm, patient, but also very brave, and most importantly, the fact that he shot him in the wind and snow was lifted and fired, which proved that he had far more confidence than his cousin.
He was familiar with his front-loading gun, which he was talking about as a marksman.
Ten minutes later, there was also a result in the competition between the ten young men, with Suder being the highest in the ranking, with ten shots hitting one hundred and six rings.
"Suder, are you interested in serving in my army?" Marin was a wake-up call, and at the same time a wake-up call to the military and the church in the Northern Kingdom.
Sure enough, the man in the military, who was still reading the newspaper, immediately turned his head to look at this side, while the church's priest was still looking at Suder's target in his hand.
Suder looked at Marin and smiled, "I'm now the acting mayor of Walding Town, Your Excellency. β
"yes, well, at least you'll be a member of my action group while I'm still in the Northern Kingdoms helping you fight against the Chaos Warband." Marin said with a smile.
Suder replied that in Marin's estimation, the young man respected his father very much, and when his father handed him the position of acting mayor, he fled from the town with the townspeople, and in the wind and snow, in the face of Marin's pursuit, he dared to rush over with the town militia in his team to fight hard, which proved that his character was as valuable as gold, so Marin still did not want him to be wasted by the military in the next fierce battle.
Seeing that Suder was still hesitating, Marin glanced at Rhodes: "Rhodes, if your cousin is willing to serve me during this time, I will let you be his assistant, your group of sharpshooters, I believe it will be the trump card in my hand." β
Marin's words finally made Suder make a choice, and he knelt down on one knee in front of Marin with a gun: "My cousin and I are willing to serve you, Your Excellency Marin. β
"That's great, I'll have your equipment ready for you in my workshop as soon as possible," Marin picked up the young man, and then motioned to his stupid cousin to stop kneeling, "The rest of you, I'll give you a class, and this afternoon, I'll take you out of the Southland...... Mr. Priest, I still need one more person, and I'm going to have them form a team of three. Marin turned his head to look at the assistant priest who was still in a daze at the almost circular impact point on the target.
It was only at this moment that he suddenly came to his senses: "No problem, I'll pick someone for you." β
Then he ran out, and in a few moments he returned to the shooting range with a young man: "Halsan, Halsan Chandler, a very good young man, with a background as a night watchman, and a two-hundred-yard target. β
"No problem." Marin nodded, and then asked the nine young men to divide themselves into three groupsβit was far better to divide themselves at this time than to let Marin intervene, and they would be grouped by their distant ties in the Order.
Soon, the three groups took shape, and Marin noticed that the young man named Halsan had come together with two young men in black robes like him.
You see, this is the gathering of things by like, and the division of people by groups, and after they have sorted themselves, at least there will be no risk of being in the same bed when fighting.
Marin nodded, and asked Suder to hand his gun to Harsan: "I'll get you a new gun, the latest one." β
Suder's eyes lit up, and he immediately handed the gun to Halsan, who did not care, he took the gun, touched it, and pulled the bolt of the gun without knowing it.
So Marin threw him a bag of twenty bullets: "Go and try it." β
"Thank you." Halsan walked to the shooting range with a bullet.
Marin then took Suder and Rhodes to say goodbye to the Priest, who took a new musket and of course smiled goodbye.
The middle-aged man from the military came over, he spoke alone with Marin, and expressed to Marin the importance of Suder: "Suder Walding's father served in Sidney's army when he was young, and later he retired and came back with his wife, he was a marksman instructor in our regiment, and he had such a child when he was about to retire...... Please don't let him lose in a pointless battle. β
"I think so too, and I also think that taking him with me can effectively avoid being lost by your military in unnecessary battles." Since everyone was on the same page, Marin shook hands with the gentleman from the military, and then left with the two young men.
"I'm going to talk to the elders of the town." Suder said this, and Marin also felt that he should go and meet the second reserve grain - although he said that he was number two, but if he was really going to be killed, Marin felt that the pig's meat was too much to eat.
Besides, I told him that I wanted him to eat delicious corn, although he was just a spirit, but he was still talking.
So the group of three braved the wind and snow to come to the quarantine point, and Marin asked the two young men to go to their elder, and then went to meet the wild boar named Your Majesty himself.
It's also interesting to say, why do you call him Your Majesty, is it just because this is a male wild boar? If it is a mother, do you want to call it a princess?
From the caretaker, Marin saw this guy's food - very good, it was all corn that Marlin brought from Farol, this guy had probably never eaten this stuff, and chewed the whole rod into it, this guy saw Marlin and immediately stood up, as if he wanted to follow Marin.
Marin can only let this big guy rest easy, he will take this guy out for a run when the right time, and now he can eat and sleep here with peace of mind.
Hearing Marin's explanation, Spare Grain 2 returned to its canopy haystack and collapsed.
Marin gave the administrator a tip to help him take care of Two, and then returned to the gate of the quarantine area, where Marin lit a cigarette for himself and gave one to the two guards.
"Thank you, Your Excellency." The big-headed soldier didn't seem to have seen such an approachable legend at all, and they were all grateful.
Hey, this big head is really miserable.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"What, you're resigning as acting mayor?" Rhodes looked at his cousin and felt that he had a problem: "Why did you resign from your position, you brought everyone to Copenhagen, you helped them, you will definitely have no problem becoming the mayor of the town." β
"On the way here, I thought about it, Your Excellency Marin is right, now his workshop in the south produces far more weapons than we in the north, you should be able to feel it when you hit the target, there is no need for so many troublesome processes, we only need to pull the bolt to throw out the cartridge case, and there is no black powder smoke generated when the front-loading gun fires, we can clearly see the effect of our shooting...... Rhodes, I want to serve in the army of Lord Marin, learn new warfare techniques, like my father, and eventually I will come back to help our army. Suder looked at Rhodes at this: "What about you, will you come to help me?" β
ββ¦β¦ You must be crazy. Rhodes sighed: "Why did I choose to help a madman, I must be crazy." β
"I knew you'd help me, Rhodes." Suder laughed happily, and he patted his cousin on the shoulder: "Actually, my father also said that although the southern food is not to his liking, and the wine is too light, the weather is good, and there is summer in the south, think about it, have you ever seen summer." β
ββ¦β¦ I really haven't seen this before. β
While chatting, the two brothers went to the isolation room where the elders were, and after passing the identification, Suder began to talk to the elders through the board, and the young man finished talking about what he was going to do next on the side of Lord Marin, and before he could explain his intention of resigning from his position, he heard Elder Tolman's words.
"Suder, our elders have decided to remove you from your position as acting mayor."
Rhodes was just about to say something, but was blocked by Suder, and his cousin hummed: "I know, then I'll go first." β
With that, he left with his cousin.
"How can they do this!" Rhodes complained about the ruthlessness of the elders after leaving the quarters.
Suder disagreed: "Okay, Rhodes, anyway, if they don't say that I will still resign from my position, in that case, I owe it to the townspeople and my father, and the elders do this, but they fulfill each other and everyone, isn't it good." β
ββ¦β¦ Hey, I'm not happy anyway, is that anything? Rhodes swore and walked ahead.
Suder frowned, and in the end, as Rhodes said, he was somewhat puzzled and dissatisfied with the elders' choice.
But...... Forget it, anyway, I have to follow Lord Marin, rather than let myself say that I owe the last wishes of the townspeople and my father, it is better to let the elders say it, so that I don't have to worry about leaving.
"Let's go." Looking at Lord Marin in the distance, Suder finally told himself in his heart.
The goddess of fate has made a choice for him, and since this is the case, then face it bravely.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Smoking a cigarette at the door, Marin waited for the scolding Rhodes and the sunken Sudel, some of the guesses where the problem was, Marin didn't break it, now it's better to leave some time for the two young people, I hope they can figure it out.
With this in mind, Marin led them back to his annex - the two young men could rest for the day in the side building of the annex, and he would take the three groups of the Order out this afternoon to 'hunt', and tomorrow was the time to get down to business.
When he returned to the annex, Marin noticed that the princess maid was already waiting for him.
"Your Excellency Marin, you have a guest."
Got guests? Marin handed over Suder and Rhodes to this man to arrange, and then entered the house.
At first glance, I saw Miss Hermit who was a southern Thai with a pair of flower arms, no way, she was really too conspicuous, she sat next to Lulu, considering her relationship with Lulu, this is very normal.
Then there was Christine, the maiden who also sat next to Lulu, and the three girls seemed to have a good relationship in the council, and they could talk.
And Coulson and his friends, these two young men obviously couldn't sit with the girls, but this happy time to play cards could still participate, so Marlin didn't take them seriously - in his eyes, these two boys were afraid that they couldn't even beat Lulu, not to mention the witch lady, Marlin estimated that she would be enough to play these two, and she would be enough with one hand.
Then Marin saw the oldest, Mr. Fate, sitting by the window and reading the book in his hand.
Finally, Marlin notices little Tim in the corner.
This kid's face was covered with notes, and it looked like he had lost to the point where his Dao heart collapsed.
What a poor boy.
Thinking of this, Marin smiled: "Are people very together?" He began.
"You're back." Lulu smiled and stood up, I think you should know these two little sisters of mine.
"Of course." Marin smiled and nodded, and at the same time accepted the two young ladies with a salute.
"Hats off, Lord Marin." Mr. Destiny smiled and said, "As you can see, I'm here." β
"yes, I know." Marlin said with a smile, and then he looked at little Tim, "Looks like you're not having a good time, Mr. Tim." β
"Ah, it's Lord Marin, yes, it's not going well, it's not going well." The old mage, who looked like a boy, collapsed directly on the floor after speaking.
It looks like you've lost badly, from body to mind, you unlucky guy.
Thinking of this, Marin looked at his little brother: "Coulson, don't you tell me about your friends." β
"He's been a good friend of mine since I was a kid, you can call him Liam, Liam Neeson." Coulson explains.
Wow, that's a powerful name when you hear it.
Marlin nodded, and was about to say something, when he saw Coulson sliding over and hugging him with a very gorgeous slippery knee...... His eldest brother.
I'm sorry, it's only 1.2 meters today, I can't let you hold your legs, you little bastard, let go of me!
