Desley's usual weapon is a North African scimitar, which is mostly worn by local men of status when they go out, with a body of 45 centimeters and a blade length of 30 centimeters. The blade is made of a single piece of steel, and the handle is inlaid with brass mixed with silver, and the blade is beautifully engraved from the blade to the scabbard.

If you are fighting on a camel or a warhorse, use the same cutlass of the same length.

Compared to the knight's sword, the weapon was both superior and inferior, and in order to disguise his identity, he had to relearn the sword and the local culture.

Ever since the arrival of this foreign warrior, Bran also took the time to ask Desley for advice during his vacation at the monastery, and then asked Simon to import a few of these knives from the northern ports, so that the mercenary group could practice dealing with them and practice the footwork of this kind of knife technique.

A month after entering the manor, Howard inquired about the whereabouts of Desley's family, and then sent someone to join the merchant ship of the Quake Chamber of Commerce, and went to Tunisia to collect the bones that could be found, and handed them over to the local priest to pray for.

Desley was extremely grateful to Howard, not in words, but in deeds.

After staying at the manor for a while, Dursley began to work as a mercenary guard, and he was cruel to Iron Mountain, because he felt that he was killing a light heretic, and he had no scruples about pressure.

He is very good, and even has the experience of not losing to Carol in solo combat and defending the lord.

After all, he was the chief warrior of the three hundred guards, and he should not be under the Iron Mountain, as long as he is willing to convert, it will be easy to do, which means that he has been subjugated by the Chaman family in his whole body and mind......

When Howard was in good health, the land was declining day by day, and after arriving at the manor, his body became more and more tired, but his development was getting better and better, and even the heretical nobles were bought.

……

On the school examination field.

"Listen, there are five of them. Archery, riding, bayonet, writing, empty-handed fighting, ......"

The veteran mercenaries explain the content of the assessment.

Five standards, 20 people are eliminated, and the rest are adjusted according to performance, and those who are worse are still apprentices, in charge of food and housing, and are not paid, and stay in the regiment.

After deducting the 60 people who did not arrive at the mission, the 100 old mercenaries on the scene and the 60 new mercenaries (the eliminated ones were selected from this) all came to Rabi Village.

"Salute."

Simon, the court scholar and the head of the mercenary group, wore the high-level uniform of the mercenary group that had just been produced (with a special pattern on it to show the different mercenaries), and asked everyone to say hello to Bran.

"Your Highness."

Hundreds of people spoke in unison, exerting a lot of might.

Bran sat in his chair and waved to start.

He didn't have stage fright at all, but looked forward to whether there would be any wandering heroic knights and fierce people. ”

The arrival of so many sturdy men made the women of the village feel like they had eaten honey, and their faces were filled with a sense of happiness.

Some jealous husbands locked their wives in the house, forbade them to go out, and sealed the windows.

Among the new members.

Ages vary, from sixteen, twenty-one, twenty-four, thirty-five......

From a variety of backgrounds, from butcher's apprenticeship, leather apprentice, porter, fisherman, pottery apprentice, dung cleaner......

There are all kinds of age experiences, it is difficult to find things to do, apprentices are not only children, all industries, there are thirty or even forty-year-old apprentices.

The treatment of the Teutonic mercenary group made them envious, and they took off their shirts one after another, showing off their strength to these adults (examiners) in front of them.

There were very few who could write, and even if Bran had mentioned the last time that the old mercenaries should learn it, no one cared.

But above the squad leader, you must understand some common words, short weapons, swordsmanship and all kinds of weapons, and even the command aspect must be touched.

……

"Waste."

"A girl in a skirt can shoot farther than you."

"Go back to your hometown."

The old members laughed at the newcomers, it was a permissible tradition, and Bran didn't care about that. Unless it's really too noisy, it will make a gesture to shut up the veterans.

Basically, the new members have basically no skills, and there are few excellent performers in the first four events, and their focus is on empty-handed fighting.

It's about fighting, letting the other side fall and win.

In this level, a barrel of wine is placed next to it, and those who play can take a big sip to increase their momentum.

The men shouted at each other, then stirred up the sand on the ground, and fought together until one gave up begging for mercy.

Mothers, sisters, daughters, in short, these female relatives have been mentioned by both sides of the beating.

When there was blood red on the ground, he poured a handful of sand down and continued to come again.

I also prepared food, and after confirming that it was passed, I asked again if I signed a contract, and I could enter a mercenary house to enjoy it to my heart's content.

When Bran saw half of it, he became impatient, without weapons, and the fight was all a gangster's fight.

Without a master, Bran wandered for a moment and thought of the Ottoman Tiger......

At the beginning of last month, the Eastern War, which caused a sensation on the continent and the Gentiles took away the princess of the Purple Room, came to an end.

The main force of the Ottoman Tiger Gramiyan abruptly withdrew from Asia Minor, allowing the Byzantines to regain a lot of territory, for unknown reasons, and the princess died due to the disobedience to the soil.

As a result of this war, many Byzantines, who were originally free people, were enslaved, and they were taken captive by Gramiyan's soldiers and sold to local merchants in the Mediterranean and Jerusalem to replenish their war funds.

What about the Byzantine protests, so many merchants bought them and then immediately changed hands to Central and Northern Europe, Northwest Africa, and even Central Asia and South Asia.

Bran was expecting talent from Byzantium, like the North African warrior his grandfather had recruited.

The best newcomers are also proficient in printing and papermaking, or medicine, etc., but until the last fight, they are all illiterate rough men.

After more than thirteen years, the "King's Air" built into the traverser still hasn't helped him recruit any talents, from Jack to Desley, all rely on his grandfather's help.

So far, there is still no talent he has found.

Bran waited until the results were all in, said a few words, and then planned to leave.

At this time, Tom came running from a few hundred meters away, panting.

When the physical strength is exhausted, and when there are 100 meters left, the running posture can be described as staggering.

When Tom caught up with the donkey cart, he summoned up a commanding tone to deceive the young trader, who was greedy for something in return and brought Tom back.

As he approached the village of Rabi, Tom suddenly jumped out of the donkey cart and ran straight onto the path, leaving the merchant stunned.

Without Tom, it is naturally impossible for the merchant to go to the mercenary group to ask for it, so he can only endure the waste of half a day and return to Chaman Manor, but in this way, he will have to pay the toll to the court again.

"Damn it...... Whatever good deeds must be rewarded, it is all bullshit used by monks to deceive people. ”

The merchant's scolding could not reach Tom's ears.

Tom tried his best to finally get back the stamped document at the end of the test.

At this time, he should give it to the squad leader in private, but he was on the way, and he also thought about one thing clearly, he was hated, no matter what the reason, in short, the mercenaries did not like him.

So Tom wanted to show up in front of Bran, he was still conscious, but he pretended to be fast, ran to Bran more than thirty steps and knelt down (there were bows and arrows aimed at him, but he couldn't step forward indiscriminately), Tom handed the document with trembling hands, "I have done what you have to do, Your Highness." ”
