8 Ghost Grass
"Given plenty of meat and a month's time, can you train a hundred dock laborers like this?"
In the face of Todd's questioning, Carter did not dare to give a positive answer for a while.
He had also trained impromptu recruits, so he knew how difficult it was.
But a moment later, Carter still stiffened his neck and said:
"So what, it's not vulnerable! Give me six or seven brothers, and with just one charge, I can crush this group of recruits! ”
Todd didn't bother to refute such words.
He clearly remembered that when Samwell first recruited this group of recruits, Carter had a disdainful face, saying that he could break up the hundred people with a sword and armor.
But after just one month, he needed the help of six or seven brothers.
I don't know how many regular troops Carter needs to lead when he reaches the Crimson Mountains to be sure of defeating this group of recruits.
To be honest, Todd really wanted to ask Samwell for advice on how to train the troops, but he was worried that this was a secret of the Tully family, so he could only secretly observe from the side.
While stealing from school, Todd also noticed something.
That is, Samwell's own physical fitness seems to be improving at an extraordinary rate.
When he first left the High Court, Samwell was still a big fat man who struggled to get on the horse, but a month later, although he was still very fat, he was no longer as bloated as before.
At the beginning of the "military training", Samwell was basically in command, and occasionally followed, but it didn't take long for him to collapse, but now, he can insist on completing the entire training with these recruits, and the speed of progress is amazing.
This also made Todd more and more convinced that Samwell's name of waste was pretended, and the fat was also eaten on purpose, and now he is only doing recovery training, so he has such a rate of progress.
Thinking of this, Todd's face became more and more gloomy.
The training of the recruits did not end until noon.
This is also the "marching convention" set by Samwell along the way, training for half a day in the morning, resting for two hours after lunch at noon, and then setting off in a leisurely manner, and then setting up camp after dark, eating and drinking enough to rest for a while, and then continuing the night training.
It is precisely because of this that a month has passed, and they have only walked less than half of the total distance.
Todd offered several times to speed up the march, but Samwell refused.
The "timid" pioneer knight insisted that the recruits should be trained to be qualified warriors, or they would not enter the Crimson Mountains.
"I think he just doesn't dare to open up, that's why he grinds all the way like this!" Carter spoke again and complained in Todd's ear, "When he runs out of money, there will be a reason to give up this operation, huh!" Sure enough, it's the cowardly waste of the Tully family! ”
Todd didn't speak.
Seeing this, Carter couldn't help but say again: "Lord Todd, are you really looking like this?" ”
Todd replied angrily, "What else can I do?" Do you force him to go with a sword on his neck? ”
Carter lowered his voice: "It's not impossible......"
Todd turned his head and squinted at his squire.
Carter coughed lightly and explained:
"I mean, you can scare the fat guy and make him obedient."
Todd withdrew his gaze and bowed his head in silence.
For the advice of the attendants, there was neither affirmation, but also no denial.
……
Wisps of smoke rose from the camp, and the rich smell of meat wafted through the air.
The recruits who had just finished their training sat cross-legged on the ground, tired but smiling on their faces.
Of course, I was happy to have meat to eat.
In fact, the experience of more than a month has made these recruits feel a little unreal.
I thought it would be an extremely arduous pioneering trip, but it became the happiest journey of their lives.
Of course, the daily training is also very hard, but they are dock laborers, and they have long been accustomed to hard work, not to mention, there is meat to eat here every day, no matter how hard it is, it is worth it.
More and more, they felt that following this Caesar master to open up was really the wisest decision in their lives.
But what they didn't know was that Lord Caesar was a little worried now.
Of course, Samwell was not worried about money, although his development funds did not have much left, but he believed that the Tyrells would definitely not watch his development end without a problem.
A hundred elite soldiers have been dispatched, and they will be reluctant to give up so much golden dragon?
What really worries Samwell is actually his attribute panel.
More than a month has passed, and his properties panel has changed a lot:
Samwell Caesar
Title: Pioneer Knight
Territory: None
Vassal: None
Power: 1.02
Dexterity: 0.73
Spirit: 1.12
Strength and agility have been greatly improved, especially strength, which is extremely fast with the help of Goldtail Shrimp.
Of course, a lot of money was spent.
He ran into financial problems so quickly, partly because he made the recruits eat meat every day, but the other half was also because his own mouth was not idle.
Don't talk about goldtail shrimp, as long as you have it, you can buy it no matter how expensive it is.
Moreover, every time he went to a town, Sam asked Gavin to search for various foods, hoping to find foods like goldtail shrimp that could improve his attributes.
However, nothing was found.
Samwell had tasted all kinds of strange foods along the way, and even the dark dishes such as snails, lizards, and silkworm chrysalis he had to endure nausea and eat them, but to no avail.
What's worse is that he found that after the strength attribute exceeded 1.00, the effect of the goldtail shrimp was actually halved!
Yes, he clearly remembered that he didn't react when he ate the first goldtail shrimp after reaching 1.00 in the strength stat, and it didn't become 1.01 until he ate the second one.
Later, the extra 0.01 strength was the result of his three days of arduous military training.
This change made Samwell very uncomfortable, and it can be expected that when the strength attribute continues to grow, the improvement effect of the goldtail shrimp may continue to decrease.
Rather, the agility stat, although no cheat food was found, increased quite quickly.
This is probably due to the low starting point and easy improvement, and it is estimated that there is also a collateral effect of increasing strength.
After all, according to common sense, the more strength you have, the speed will naturally increase a little.
In addition, he is quite effective in losing weight now, and he will definitely move more freely.
However, as the agility stat approaches 1.00, it will definitely become as difficult to improve as strength in the future.
As for the attribute of spirituality, it has not changed at all for more than a month.
However, Samwell is not in a hurry to improve his spirit for the time being, after all, Daenerys's three dragons have not hatched yet, and the mysterious side of this world is still sleeping, and it is estimated that it will not do anything for him to raise his spirit.
At present, it is still the improvement of the two attributes of strength and agility, which will help him to increase his strength even more.
Thinking of this, Samwell silently said "I am a ruthless eating machine" while numbly stuffing all kinds of strange food that Gavin had purchased into his mouth.
As all kinds of strange flavors rolled in his mouth, Samwell's expression became more and more unloved.
But it didn't take long for his eyes to light up!
"Gavin!"
"Master, are you looking for me?"
"What's this grass called?" Samwell asked in an eager tone, holding a silver-white weed in his hand.
Because, he just discovered that after eating this weed, his spiritual attribute actually increased by 0.01!
Although it is not the strength and agility attributes that he is most looking forward to, Samwell will certainly not let go of finding food that can improve his mental attributes.
"Master, this is called Ghost Grass."
