Chapter 204: Slave Soldier

The main purpose of Gervais's visit to the slave market today has been completed, and the whole person has become leisurely, and it is rare to come to the slave market, and Gervais is not in a hurry to leave, so he and Pat continue to wander around the slave market.

Although the slave market is only separated by a wooden wall, the space inside is very large, like the open-air market in the previous life, and the slave stalls are connected in a row with no end in sight.

Moreover, at this moment, many people from the gladiatorial arena also gathered in this slave market, and as he walked, Gervais found that the people in the slave market began to crowd.

"Gervais, let's go, let's go to the front and have a look, there seems to be some excitement over there!"

Because it was crowded, Gervais walked slowly, and simply observed the shops on the side of the road, everything in the slave market was new to Gervais.

However, while feeling novel, Gervais was a little unbearable, after all, Gervais's three views were brought by his previous life.

Slaves were handcuffed or locked up like animals waiting to be bought by buyers, young and old, the youngest was seven or eight years old, and the oldest was in his fifties.

Hearing Pat's words, Gervais withdrew his gaze from the side of the aisle and looked ahead, and indeed saw a large circle of people crowded in front of him, and the crowd was pointing and discussing.

"There are some slave owners' stalls over there, and every toe is better than the one just now, so many people are watching, there must be new slaves!"

While squeezing forward quickly, Pat explained to Gervais, after all, Pat had been in Winterfell for a long time, and knew a lot more than Gervais, a new nobleman.

Hearing Pat's explanation, Gervais's pace was much faster, although Pat's comparison was a bit exaggerated, but Gervais knew that slave owners were indeed not comparable to Piri's second-class traders, these slave owners themselves had noble titles and had their own armed forces, and the slaves they sold were generally from their own plundering of enemy countries, and the slaves they sold were not ordinary slaves like Piri.

These slave owners sell high-quality products, slave warriors, women's dance troupes, beautiful and empathetic stunners, these high-end slaves are the signature of slave owners, because they have their own territory, money and energy to train excellent slaves.

Piri said that his slaves were being trained, and they were completely farting, and if they were called trained with just a few whips, the slave owner would definitely skin him when they heard it.

Of course, a higher end of the slave meant a higher price, and the slave owners sold a high-end slave, sometimes more than they could earn in a year.

When Gervais finally squeezed to the front of the crowd, he found that it was indeed the slave owner, and the people who were selling today were all slave soldiers equipped with weapons and equipment.

Of course, the place where the slave owner's stall was located was not as large as Piri's, which was only supported by four wooden sticks and was not as large as a toilet.

It was enclosed the size of two basketball courts, and was covered with stone slabs and surrounded by low wooden fences.

At this moment, there are three phalanxes standing in the field, all of them are strong men, these men are all dressed in leather armor, equipped with round shields, and the weapons in their hands are also divided into three kinds of weapons, spears, swords and bows, and the three phalanxes are divided into three kinds of weapons, which are distinct.

The crowd was talking about these murderous-looking slave soldiers.

The largest number of the three phalanxes were the pikemen, and Gervais counted them at first, it should be fifty, while the swordsmen should have thirty, and the smallest number was the archers, a total of twenty.

"Gervais, these are the slave soldiers trained by the slave owner, I heard that they will never disobey the master's orders, even if the knife is in front of their eyes, they will not hesitate to hit the knife at the order."

Pat's eyes lit up when he saw these slave soldiers in the field, such slave soldiers are not often encountered, only once or twice a year, after all, so many slave soldiers are trained, and the cycle is very long, so Pat began to introduce Gervais with great interest.

"I heard that there were 50 pikemen like this, and at the beginning there were 200 people training at the same time, and through continuous fighting and elimination, these 50 slave soldiers were finally obtained, but unfortunately I don't like to fight, otherwise I really have to buy some to raise."

"What are you going to do when the conscription order is issued?"

Pat didn't like to fight, but Gervais knew it, but every year there was a battle of the Southern Expedition, and Gervais was a little curious about how Pat had survived so many years.

"Ahem! Cough! ”

As the saying goes, hitting people is not slapping in the face, Gervais's question is indeed a bit sharp, but the two are now friends, so Pat doesn't mind, anyway, Gervais will know sooner or later, so he got closer to Gervais, and then whispered to Gervais.

"Of course, there is no way to hide when the call order is issued, but I am not the only one who goes every time, and when I know which team I am assigned to, I will take out the gold coins, cough! You know, then I became the team to support logistics, those soft eggs in the Duchy of Alban, as long as I am not a striker, I am safe every time, occasionally there are three or two small thieves, and my 30 cavalry can solve it with a charge. ”

Listening to Pat's words, Gervais's eyes widened, Pat's little fat man's operation once again refreshed his three views, no wonder this fat man spent blood to build his 30-person cavalry team, not only with war horses, but even put light armor on the horses, it turned out that this little fat man was afraid of death.

Of course, everyone has their own ambitions, and Gervais will not laugh at the little fat man, saying that when he was forging the whole body armor, he did not put in a lot of effort, and he asked for a low profile, and he could be a little deterrent.

After thinking about it, Gervais was finally speechless, so he could only pat Pat lightly on Pat's shoulder, and then said seriously: "I understand you!" ”

……

"Is there any other gentleman interested in buying? Please come and take a seat, these soldiers are a rare weapon of war, the autumn conscription order is coming, you lords are going to seize the opportunity, buy these soldiers, they will fight bravely for the lords on the southern battlefield, and win the battle exploits! ”

As the crowd gathered, a host in the fence began to shout with a loudspeaker made of iron sheets.

The upper seat he was talking about should be the high platform in the middle of the field, where there were already seven or eight people who looked like noble lords, who were sitting leisurely on the sofa and waiting.

With the host's shout, several more nobles walked in through the fence gate on the side, and immediately a slave attendant respectfully led them towards the high platform.

"Let's go, Pat, let's go up and sit down!"

Suddenly, Gervais smacked his body, and then looked at the slave soldiers in the field for a few moments, and Gervais pushed Pat beside him and said.

"Gervais, you want to buy it too? Tell you, these slave soldiers are not cheap, it is better to train a few yourself, anyway, you are the husband of Lord Earl, and no one will dare to send you to the front when the time comes. ”

Pat was a little surprised, he really didn't expect Gervais to want to buy slave soldiers, after all, slave soldiers were bought to obtain military merits during the southern expedition, in Pat's opinion, with what Gervais currently has, there is no need to rely on military merits to improve himself.

Gervais is not only Alice's husband, but also invented wine, as long as he develops with peace of mind for five years and ten years, Gervais will definitely become a great lord, and his future achievements may not be worse than some counts, if he wants to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield now, it is a mistake.

"Aren't you tired of standing and watching? Anyway, it doesn't cost money to go up, not only do we have sofa drinks, but also people fanning the wind, and we are still standing here basking in the sun, aren't we stupid? ”

Gervais didn't say much, just rolled his eyes and said to Pat as he squeezed through the crowd.

Hearing Gervais's reply, Pat glanced at the high platform, suddenly realized, and then did not hesitate to use his strong body to open the way in front, for fear that there would be no seats when it was too late.
