"Stand upright!"

"Count!"

After the morning run, the two captains, Ruger and Carter, would lead the scouts to the town square. After the team was over, the team disbanded and ate, and then began a full day of training - some were strength enhancement, some were battle array swordsmanship, some were cavalry battles, and even some squads cooperated with actual combat confrontation exercises.

The team was always following Roddy's training plan, and nothing went wrong.

The new Templars did not participate in the training, and Roddy's only request was to "sit by" all of the Scout training sessions.

This was a relief to them, after all, the scouts had trained inhumanely, and it was a headache just to think about it—what was the use of running back and forth in circles in the eyes of ordinary people? What was the use of holding rocks and practicing? It was better to practice more swordsmanship.

Naturally, they were disdainful and ridiculed, and most Templars found the scouts to be running around like a bunch of monkeys.

However, as a Wellington knight who has experienced the war, he did not make up his mind so easily.

"The training that Roddy has arranged for them seems to be complicated?"

In the early morning of the 24th of October, Wellington's brow furrowed more than the previous day as he looked at the scouts who were engaged in a coordinated battle in the distance.

"There is a charter, which is probably according to a certain progress, and there are a lot of aspects involved, but it should not be called complicated. ”

Sodrore was now dressed in a simple battle suit, leather boots, a sword hanging from his belt, and unwiped sweat on his forehead—he had never lost his habit of running with the soldiers.

"I haven't really seen this kind of training, but when I think about it, when they really go to the battlefield, their combat effectiveness is definitely much stronger than that of other troops. ”

The Knight of Wellington's compliments were not easy, and he could feel the bloody aura of the scouts, which was by no means something that ordinary armies in the kingdom could have... In these years, most of the so-called "big army" are just a group of farmers who have taken up arms, and even if they are professional mercenaries, most of them are used to being casual, more than strong and lack of discipline, which is very different from the professional soldiers in front of them.

Sodrol took out a small notebook, flipped through the next plan, and explained very bluntly: "Roddy's purpose is simple, he needs an elite army that is enough to solve small-scale conflicts. ”

Wellington was silent, he was an "outsider" after all, and he didn't want to ask too much about the private affairs in the territory. Seeing this, Sodrore stopped chatting and saluted, "Then let's start today's professor, Knight Wellington." ”

With Duke Angmar's entrustment, Wellington naturally wanted to accept Sodrore as an "apprentice", and he was quite satisfied with Sodrore's super understanding and talent, explaining swordsmanship, battle points, how to condense "battle qi", etc., under the teaching, Sodrore naturally benefited a lot.

It can be said that in the past month, Sodrore's progress has definitely been leapfrogging.

However, just as the two were about to start today's practice, the soldiers running in the distance came with a message that they had been waiting for for a long time: Roddy was back.

Sodrore and the Wellington Knight immediately went to greet them, but when they saw the two people following behind Roddy, their expressions became extremely strange for a moment...

Didn't you say that you went to the Silent Forest, why did you kidnap two people back?

Both of them knew what Sally thought about Roddy, so when they saw Roddy "suspected" that they were not shallow, their expressions were a little weird...

"Wellington Knight, Lord Baron. ”

Roddy smiled and saluted the two, which immediately made the original strange atmosphere disappear - Wellington grinned, but Sodrore punched Roddy in the chest and scolded with a smile: "You are laughing at me on purpose, right?"

The friendship between men is always expressed in this way, although it is only a month of not seeing each other, but they can see a little change in each other, and the Wellington Knight narrowed his eyes slightly, and sniffed lightly, as if he felt the stronger smell of blood on Roddy's body.

Naturally, no one else could capture such details, so Sodrore and Roddy spoke briefly, and then looked behind Roddy suspiciously—Nata's indifferent eyes were looking at the buildings around her, and although she couldn't see any emotion, the curiosity in her eyes couldn't be hidden.

Akasha wasn't like Nata, and she was actually looking at Sodrore curiously—because in memory, the lord Roddy called "the baron" was one of the scouts who fought with Roddy in the orc kingdom.

She wondered why Roddy's men had become noble lords, and he was still alone.

"Briefly, this is Akasha, the Holy Priest, and she wants to have a proper identity here, Lord Lord, you can see what happens. Roddy squeezed his eyes at Sodrore, who covered his forehead and made a helpless expression, and then made a noble salute to Akasha very formally: "Welcome to Parl, I can do everything that Roddy promises." ”

After a month away from the battle, Sodrore's words were no longer as serious and tense as before, and he added in a relaxed tone: "Actually, you can treat him as a lord, don't look at my face, here he has the final say." ”

After speaking, he squeezed his eyes at Roddy, obviously also wanting the captain to have a long face in front of the two ladies - but before Roddy could continue to say anything, a scout came running from behind, apparently with news to report.

"Captain Roddy, Lord Lord, Wellington Knight. ”

There was a respectful look on his face, and from the order of shouting, he knew the weight ranking of these people in front of him in his heart.

It stands to reason that it was the lord Sodrol who should respond at this time, but he looked directly at Roddy - such an attitude obviously made Roddy a little helpless, and emphasized: "You are the lord, don't look at me!"

Wellington, who was next to him, smiled, and felt really strange about the relationship between the two.

Sodrore smiled also in embarrassment, turned his head and asked, "Where is the news?"

"Viscount Tranca has sent a team, led by the Black Butler of Kig Town, saying that he was busy with affairs some time ago, and now he finally found time to send a batch of supplies as a gift. ”

"Viscount Tranca?

"It's outside the town of Parr, and the convoy is parked at the entrance of the town, my lord. ”

The scout's answer made Sodrol have to pay attention, obviously as a new lord, it is necessary to deal with the "left and right neighbors", the territory of the Viscount of Tranka is adjacent to the Pal territory, the other party's sphere of influence is not small, the territory is rich in resources, and the population is large, so it is a role worth paying attention to.

"That's a good thing, you go and entertain them first, I'll settle them, and I'll introduce you when I have time." "Roddy didn't have the heart to interfere with the order, he really hoped that Sodrore could build this place well - of course, the ultimate goal was to better support his future territory.

Wellington didn't participate in the discussion, and directly chose to avoid suspicion: "I'll go and see the training of those boys, you guys are busy first." ”

Sodrore saluted Wellington respectfully, he regarded himself as an "apprentice", his posture was always humble, and when he turned around, he smiled apologetically at Roddy and the two beauties behind him, and said: "Ruger has nothing to do this morning, he should be working on weapons in the town's blacksmith shop, you go to him to arrange food and lodging." By the way, what kind of egg did you put in Nolan Village hatch, and you have time to go over and take a look, it's a little turtle. ”

Roddy's eyes lit up, and he nodded to indicate that he understood, and then stopped talking nonsense and turned to do his own thing—both of them were people with sharp personalities, and even if their status had changed now, they were still as vigorous as ever.

"I didn't expect that... He's become a lord. ”

Akasha sighed, but there wasn't much emotion between the words. She is a casual temperament, but after the heart disease gradually clears up, people become quieter and quieter, without too many desires, and are satisfied just thinking about being happy every day.

"There are many things you didn't expect, not this one. I'll go find you a suitable place to live and take care of your body with peace of mind. Roddy then turned his head and asked Nata, "Who do you think is more powerful of these two people just now?"

Nata was stunned for a moment, then realized that Roddy was testing her, and thought for a while: "The taller one looks dangerous, the shorter one... It's also a little tricky to deal with. ”

The Wellington knight is two meters tall, and Sodrore is slightly shorter - obviously Nata's judgment is very correct, Roddy nodded secretly, and said: "There are many things to learn here, the first point is observation." ”

He then pointed to the town and said, "From now on, I will not restrict your movements, but make sure that the terrain here is as familiar as the jungle, and come to me directly in the evening when it is time to eat." ”

Nata nodded, and then walked to the side without hesitation.

"She's not a talker. ”

Akasha looked at Nata's back and said, the other party's coldness was slightly prickly, although she knew that the other party had helped her, but Akasha couldn't communicate with her at all, the language barrier was secondary, Nata's indifferent gaze was really uncomfortable.

"Nata is that kind of character, don't worry about her. Roddy looked at Butler Black in the distance, but suddenly his expression was a little solemn, but this emotion was fleeting, and Akasha didn't notice it.

"There's going to be a dinner party tonight, so if you're fit, come along. ”

"Well... Good. ”

Akasha's heart moved slightly, not quite understanding what Roddy's intentions were in this arrangement. She looked at the figure in front of her who greeted the scout, and her fingertips involuntarily fiddled with the ring, and she felt inexplicably "honored" in her heart.

Such carefree days... More would be nice.
