Surdak hugged Karl with a limited smile on his face.

"Hey, Duck! For the sake of me helping you send these men over, you should at least be happy! Karl patted Surdak on the shoulder.

The two walked shoulder to shoulder towards Wall Village, Carl saw the townhouses in the village, and said with emotion: When he came over last time, these townhouses had just built a framework, but he didn't expect that all the villagers had lived in them before winter, and the construction speed of Wall Village was really amazing.

The road in the village is also paved with a flat cement road that extends to the village square.

Karl led the group of reserve knights of the guard battalion to the village of Wall, just in time for Andrew and Gulit to drive a group of horses to the village square, and distribute war horses to the veterans of the new cavalry battalion, in addition to the war horses, there were more than seventy camels, and the veterans had just taken over, they were not familiar with these war horses at all, and they were not even as good as the coachmen in the village of Wall.

These war horses were not so obedient, and for a while, there was chaos in the village square, and there were constantly war horses standing up in the square.

Seeing these scenes in front of them, those young reserve knights rode on horseback, and in the face of this group of native buns in the countryside, their green faces showed a full sense of superiority.

"These are all new troops you recruited for the cavalry battalion?" Karl happened to be standing at the edge of the village square, looking at the ragged villagers with a look of surprise, as well as a group of warhorses in front of him who refused to tame easily...... There were all kinds of horses, all kinds of them, and seventy or eighty tall dromedary camels, and Carl didn't know what to say for a while.

Surdak asked with a smug look on his face, "How's it going?" ”

Surdak was also self-made, and in just a year and a half to do this, Carl thought that he would definitely not be able to do it.

Karl said, "Looks good, uh, speaking of which...... I don't have the right to parity, I can only expect you to behave in battle. ”

Surdak smiled and said, "That is, you don't think favorably of them either!" ”

Karl felt that he should be speaking tactfully, so he said: "Well, I admit that we have differences in this regard, on this point of view, I and Captain Sauron, Viscount Emmett are completely in agreement, although these in the academy are young, but after all, they have received professional riding training, as well as technical and tactical training, what they lack is only the training on the battlefield, and it will ...... over time."

Before Karl could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Surdak: "In time, these reserve knights will become the lords of those guard battalion knights in the city of Highland......"

"Well, you have to remember that you're one of us, too." Karl put his arm around Surdak's shoulders and whispered.

"I remember it all the time!" Surdak took Carl in the direction of the children's home, Selena and a group of children from the children's home happened to be sitting at the gate to watch the excitement, and he said to Carl: "When are you leaving, I don't have time to entertain you!" ”

Karl knew that Surdak was joking, and he was not annoyed, but just glared at Surdak and complained: "Hey, you guy, on such a cold day, do you want me to sleep in Oak Ridge at night?" At the very least, I should have been given a good dinner and a warm room, and I'll be out early tomorrow! ”

Seeing Surdak and Karl coming from afar, Selena hurriedly beckoned a group of children into the courtyard, but the believer of the Dark Goddess still did not want to appear in front of outsiders.

Surdak smiled at Karl and said, "Tomorrow we have to leave early, there is no way to see you off......"

"In such a hurry?" Karl asked in surprise.

Surdak coughed before lowering his voice and saying, "The mercenary group will start burning money today......

"Well, you must pay attention to safety, and don't be too aggressive in the desert!" Karl could only express his concern for a moment, and then he immediately thought of something, then looked at Surdak with wide eyes, and asked in a low voice, "You don't want to take these reserve knights into the desert, do you?" ”

Surdak nodded without hesitation and admitted, "That's what I thought. ”

Karl trembled, he immediately grabbed Surdak and persuaded him in a lower voice: "I think you should listen to me, or let them stay in Wall Village, take them out, you still don't think you are troublesome enough?" ”

"If you don't go out and practice, you'll never have a chance to grow."

Surdak immediately retorted.

The two walked and chatted all the way, and soon walked outside the courtyard of the security office.

……

The group of young reserve knights led their horses and followed the two of them, skirting the village square and walking all the way to the police station in the upper reaches of the village.

The police station was already full of militia battalions, and several large felt houses had been built outside the police station, and there were many villagers in and out of it, all dressed in tatters, and they were gathering on a simple makeshift archery range under the leadership of Samira.

Fifteen scarecrows were placed on one side of the range, and on the other side was a row of tables with a row of alloy bows.

The villagers of these militia battalions were summoned by Surdak to come to the police station to practice basic archery, if their archery posture is not correct, Samira needs to correct it in time, otherwise once they form a habit, those stinky problems are difficult to change, not only is the accuracy on the battlefield not enough, but also when forcibly pulling the bow, it is easy to hurt their arms.

Samira felt this most deeply.

The villagers were poorly dressed, and they looked very thin, and their clothes were very thin, and some of them even walked with a limp, and the young reserve knights stood by with their horses, intending to see the jokes of the militiamen.

A group of militiamen were following behind Samira, listening carefully to Samira's introduction to the performance of the alloy bow, they usually do not have access to such a fine longbow, the most commonly used by these villagers is the ordinary forest hunting bow, this hunting bow is made of old oak wood, although it is not as good as the alloy bow, but it is enough to hunt limestone iguanas in the wild.

In fact, the villagers of the Badlands have very good archery skills, which is also a means of survival in the Badlands.

According to Surdak's arrangement, this time Samira is not only responsible for staying in the village of Wall, but also shouldering the task of training a group of qualified militia battalion archers, Surdak is ready to vigorously develop a group of archers in various natural villages in the barren land, Surdak needs them to be able to use the complex terrain of the village to resist those invading robbers with bows and arrows, so this time he received a batch of alloy bows from the Quartermaster Logistics Office of the Hylanza City Hall.

The half-elf archer Samira mastered the 'bow technique' from the Silver Moon Elves, which has high requirements for physical coordination, and the villagers followed Samira to learn the bow technique, and tried to shoot a round of arrows with an alloy bow, and few arrows landed on the target.

All of a sudden, the militiamen's poor performance caused the group of reserve knights who were watching from the sidelines to burst into laughter.

Young Samira didn't understand what the problem was, she had always shot arrows like this, she picked up an alloy bow on the table, she didn't even need to aim, she just pulled the bowstring at random, and shot a row of arrows, one by one the steel arrows were squeezed into the bull's-eye like a bundle of arrows, which not only made the militiamen who were learning bow art on the side dumbfounded, but even the reserve knights who stood in the outer circle to watch the excitement stopped laughing.

On the battlefield, it is estimated that no one is not afraid of being named by such a marksman......

Viru was leaning against the wall of the police station basking in the sun, he was covered in bandages, looking like a seriously wounded soldier, and when he saw the militiamen being ridiculed by a group of young knights, urgency, embarrassment, and distress appeared on the faces of the militiamen, and everyone began to become impetuous.

At this time, Viru walked slowly to the shooting range and said to Samira: "The elven bow technique is not suitable for everyone, only people with extremely high talent and strong coordination ability can practice this kind of archery, you have elven blood, naturally you can't feel this ...... Their guidance should be tailored to their needs. ”

As he spoke, Verula pulled a militiaman and asked him to stand in front of the table, holding an alloy bow in the way the villagers were accustomed to, and shooting the bow and arrows in one go, and the steel arrows were firmly set in the bull's-eye thirty meters away......

For a moment, the ridicule outside the arena fell silent.

"Their bowing skills are okay, but some of the postures are incorrect." Viru didn't speak very fast, and everyone around him could hear him, so he patted the villager's chest and abdomen with his hand, adjusted his stance, and said to Samira: "Pulling the bow so often is easy to hurt your back muscles, so you can straighten your body when you stand......

Samira knew that Viru was the Eagle Eye invited back by Surdak, but she didn't expect that his understanding of archery was so much higher than herself......

The militia battalion has a total of 150 people, with the continuous invasion of desert bandits, the militia in each village is still decreasing, Surdak has taken out a large amount of pension during this time, but it is this pension that directly leads to the unprecedented enthusiasm of the villagers to join the militia battalion.

The people of the Wastelands are not afraid of death, and the living conditions here are quite difficult, and they care more about the pension than about death.

……

Karl and Surdak stood in front of the young reserve knights.

With a gloomy face, Surdak said to the young graduates: "You have received four years of training in the Knight Academy, and the following is the time to test what you have learned in the past four years, and now your first task is to build a tent for yourself that can withstand the cold, and now this is the village of Wall, with a level field, a ready-made water source, and some convenient conditions that are not available in the wild, but if you go to the wild, the living conditions are probably even more severe than here." ”

"Take action, young college students ......"
