Chapter 90: Jones' Entertainment
Jones had never seen what the legendary "big pot rice" looked like, but he estimated that it should be similar to the scene in front of him.
The crowd is crowded, dense, and hot.
The campfire was burning, and in front of the clay stove, women with big shoulders and round waists carried bags of wheat and buckets of fish poured into the pot.
In some pots, there is even the aroma of mutton, which makes the mouth water.
......
When Jones arrived, the bald Percy and the tall Ike also rushed over with thousands of recruits.
When the underage recruits saw Jones, their faces flushed, and they bent down excitedly, calling him "Lord Lord", "Heavenly Father", and even "Father".
This embarrassed Jones.
Sensing his embarrassment, he suddenly felt ten years away from a successful politician.
His "sons" would gradually be divided into infantry and cavalry according to their talents, and the best cavalry would have the potential to become a glorious knight - although he had secretly shrunk many times.
Jones arranged for them two instructors, one bald Percy and the other tall Ike.
The bald head was in charge of training the new cavalry in Riverrun.
And the tall Ike is an inspirational story, although his brain is not smart, but he is one of the few surviving cavalry recruited by Riverrun, and now the tall one has begun to exercise the duties of the squad leader, just wait for one more fight, so that the cavalry in the north can be convinced, and he can officially become a captain of 100.
The addition of new recruits made the noisy crowd even more noisy.
......
The young bachelor saw that everyone had arrived, and struck the gong a few times.
The audience immediately fell silent.
"Tuohe Brigade, Thirty-two Squad, first!"
Everyone in the 32nd squad immediately jumped up and cheered in unison.
The sweat was still on their bodies, and there was no lack of tiredness on their faces, but when they heard this, everyone in the thirty-second squad smiled from the bottom of their hearts, and they then bowed to the lord, using the greatest arc they could.
"Thank you for the food, wealth, and glory you have given you. ”
At this time, the applause around the untidy will sound.
"Damn, it's them again. ”
"Look at their arrogance, they are angry, you can't work harder. ”
The other people of the Tuohe Brigade said indignantly, if it wasn't for the previous lord saying that they had to applaud, it would be strange that they would applaud.
"Tuohe Brigade, Thirteen Squads, the penultimate one!"
"Phew!"
This time, the boos were particularly neat, and the members of the thirteenth team all lowered their heads, and their eyes were evasive.
"The iron fish is lazy," said a man who lowered his head and blushed from humiliation, and said in a chilling tone, "Let's touch his house tonight and cut his throat." ”
When several companions next to him heard this, they all gasped.
I didn't expect the honest Erniu to say such a thing, Tieyu's grandfather and Erniu's grandfather have been neighbors since then.
Erniu is going crazy, they thought.
A companion hastened to persuade,
"We will go to his house tonight and warn him one last time, that if he does not listen to persuasion, we are acting ......"
Next, the summary of each team will be carried out in turn, and those who work hard will be greeted with praise, and those who want to fish in troubled waters will admit criticism.
Under the watchful eye of the lord, the regular summary meeting lasted a full half an hour before it ended, and then it was time to eat.
At this time, you can tell who is praised and who is criticized just by the sound of eating......
It can only be said that the power of words is more powerful than imagined.
......
Jones didn't eat with the civilians, and he wouldn't do this kind of thing to bring himself and the civilians down a level.
The times are not right, and here he performs this drama that makes one wonder if his mind is normal.
After listening to the summary meeting, he took Carter and the others back to the castle, where he asked the chef to try to fry vegetables, clams, chicken and mutton, etc.
It was sprinkled with black peppercorn, which was more expensive than gold, and other spices brought in from across the Narrow Sea.
Although the cost is not small, it is much better than eating barbecue, bread and stewed rotten vegetables almost every day after he came to this world.
Even noble ladies will give heartfelt praise at this time.
......
A long time had passed, and the civilians outside the castle had long since returned to the outer city, but the noise outside the castle had not stopped.
Surrounded by torches,
Except for those who stood guard, almost all the soldiers from the north came here.
There were no seats, and they almost squeezed their heads, so a small playing field was fenced off.
"Tall, tall!"
"Iron Head, Iron Head!"
"Kill him, hurry!"
"Hide, stupid, hide!"
The soldiers shouted excitedly, eager to rush to the field to do a big job.
I saw the thin black man jumping back and forth on the field, and suddenly the tall man seized the opportunity, and the tall man's hands wrapped in strips of cloth smashed over like a torrential rain.
The thin black man hurriedly raised his arms to block, but the defensive posture was still broken up.
The tall man was unforgiving, and he chased after him with a stride, and smashed his opponent's face with a hammer-like fist.
Shouts and voices of disappointment rang out.
"Ahh
Ike, a tall man with his upper body naked and bleeding from the corners of his mouth, raised his fist in excitement and roared angrily to vent.
And his opponent was already lying on the ground, being woken up by the referee trying to shake him up.
Apparently he won, and he became the only captain of the hundred from the Riverlands.
However, what made him even more excited was that he had the opportunity to fight against the Black Knight, thinking of this, he roared again, staring at the Black Knight who was younger than him on the sidelines, he felt that he had improved a lot recently, and there was no chance to challenge the leader.
......
This unarmed boxing recreation was actually enjoyed by Jones himself, and was introduced in the military as a trial.
Nowadays, in the cavalry, it has gradually surpassed the somewhat dull archery competition, and has become a popular pastime like blunt weapon competitions.
As for the rifle competition, because it was very troublesome, it required special wooden guns, a large enough arena, and most importantly, it could hurt the precious war horse, so it did not become their entertainment.
Of course, this kind of physical collision not only means venting and entertainment, but also allows him to subtly control his strength and speed and promote the progress of his skills.
......
"You're not playing, okay?"
Careylin hugged her black cat, wrinkled her delicate nose, and said to Jones with some concern.
She originally heard that there would not be much danger, but she didn't expect to look at it for a while, and she had already seen blood several times.
This is also the reason why there are more referees on the field than there are people fighting.
"Hey, hey, gotta give them a hard time," Jones said nonchalantly.
Half of these northern cavalry are new additions, and they seem to be no different from the veterans under their command, but with a little dim sum, you can still experience the difference in the subtleties.
Also, they were originally Stark, the direct team of the young wolf lord, and now after following them, they will naturally feel uncomfortable.
Jones can sometimes even tell from his tone and eyes which are old subordinates and which are new.
So, tonight he is ready to subdue all those who are not convinced.
By the way, see where your limits are.
......
"Black Knight!"
"Black Knight!"
After all seven new squad leaders were selected, the shouts on the field reached their peak, except for the absence of one team leader who won a miserable victory, plus the bald head, Carter, and Ronna, the nine squad leaders, all grinning on the field and moving their muscles.
A bonfire was lit in the central atrium, and excitement flowed through the castle.
The servants couldn't help but stop and look at the castle from all over the castle, either in worship or in excitement.
The lady, who had been a lot lazy lately, also opened the window, put on a light veil, and held her cheeks, paying attention to the upcoming battle on the field, and the man.
Even the black cat seemed to be attracted and jumped in front of the crowd, walking back and forth.
The flickering bonfire reflected his eyes with great agility, and his small body cast a long shadow.
......
The Black Knight wrapped his hands in strips of cloth one after another, and the muscles of his upper body puffed up, making the smile on his face a little aggressive.
"It's really going to be nine!"
"It's not like I've never fought, it's more difficult for one to fight two, it's more than double, and it's impossible to win three at all. ”
"So you're not a black knight, maybe Amber can really do it!"
Seeing that the two sides were ready, many soldiers still discussed with some disbelief.
A gong sounded.
I saw the black knight, his right leg bent, and he shot out violently.
"So fast!"
Even if many veterans were shocked, the black knight in front of him didn't know how much more agile he was than when he was wearing heavy armor.
Fast as a deer, swift as a snake!
Before everyone could react, Ike, the tall man who stopped at the front, had already bent over and fell.
"Let's go together," shouted Carter, who didn't want to be taken lightly by his own head.
Eight people gathered around at the same time.
The Black Knight burst out with agility that did not match his stature, and in a flash, he dodged several flying punches to his cheeks one after another.
"Bang" and "bang" twice, and the two squad leaders bent down like prawns and fell to the ground.
Fierce as a wolf!
"I hit!" shouted a captain in the back, excitedly.
But then, his smile narrowed, as he felt the power of his fist not penetrate the thick muscles behind the black knight's back at all.
Strong as a bear, immovable as a stone!
......
Although he felt that he had made progress again, Jones was still not satisfied.
"Sure enough, even though the speed of the nervous reaction has been 'furious' to the limit, it is still impossible to avoid the siege of eight people at the same time....... At least three of them had just hit themselves. ”
"However, because I am afraid of accidents, I have not dared to let go of all my strength, now I might as well try to let go of the strength of my legs and speed up my pace. ”
Now his strength and speed have increased a lot—not because of 'rage', but because of the muscular strength he has developed from wearing heavy armor and wielding heavy swords for a long time.
The data of his previous life showed that the gap between the top remote mobilization and ordinary people was more than double, and in the process of experimenting, he indirectly found that the environment of this world was not completely consistent with the earth, such as air pressure and gravity, which may make the physical body have more potential to be tapped, and also inspired him to exercise his determination.
......
I saw that the black knight suddenly turned around, and his pace seemed to speed up again, and under the incredulous eyes of everyone, he almost punched out four punches.
The muffled sounds sounded one after another, and the captains who were hit were all blushing, their muscles bursting up, and they curled up.
Their distorted expressions clearly showed how powerful the Black Knight really was.
Looking at the thick arms like branches and bulging muscles, the soldiers began to wonder if the guy in front of them was a black bear in human skin.
.......
"What a good animal," said the lady in front of the window, her eyes lit up, and she swallowed her saliva irrepressibly, and then looked at her daughter, who had already run to the front in excitement, and her face became cloudy again.
