Pioneering

Chapter 66 Meeting
Formerly known as Huster Fort, now known as Changle Fort.

More than 500 well-dressed gentlemen and nobles politely asked the capable guards to inform the Earl, allowing them, the future vassals of the Earl, to enter the castle.

This is a majestic and majestic castle, and the waiting nobles looked around at Changle Castle.

Regardless of whether they have seen it or not, or how many times they have seen it, the nobles will all admire this castle, and they will be even more in awe of Zhong Ming, who easily disintegrated this war fortress.

There is only one gatehouse in this castle, and there is only one drawbridge in front of the gatehouse.

The suspension bridge can be raised by chains and can be rotated ninety degrees.

This meant that intruders had to pass through a wide moat filled with water before reaching the real gate.

This moat is so wide that ordinary trainee knights cannot cross it.

This deep moat is surrounding the entire castle complex.

After a while, the panting guard finally returned to his post and informed the Earl of the order.

The suspension bridge slowly fell on the wide moat full of water.

Thirteen barons, including Cowen, Molde, Gwent, and Cook, were at the forefront, leading the 500 people across the suspension bridge in turn, and walked to the gatehouse.

The gate is tucked between the twin towers and is embedded in it.

The gate itself consists of a heavy metal gate and two portcullises.

The stainless steel gate is mixed with a small amount of mountain red red copper - a strange metal unique to the magical world, an energy insulator, and has extremely strong physical strength. With a little powder, a rare magic weapon can be cast.

Holes were cut in the prominent battlements above the entrance gates through which defenders could throw projectiles or flaming liquids, known as "kill holes" (battlements).

Gwent, with a rough appearance, looked at the stainless steel gate mixed with mountain red and red copper, and couldn't help but exclaim:

"My God, how much steel is used for this gate? Is this red luster mixed with mountain red red copper?
The last time you came here was the Ironwood Gate, right?
Our new lord looks like he has a lot of money! "

The gentle Cook sneered and said:

"The Huster family and more than half of the nobles in Devon County have accumulated hundreds or even thousands of Zoya's wealth, and it has entered the pocket of our new master. Can you not be rich?"

Ke Wen, who was the oldest in appearance, changed slightly, and scolded in a low voice:

"To shut up!
Cook, if you want to die, go find it yourself, don't drag us!

Our new emperor is not a soft-hearted stubble. "

Cook thought of Zhong Ming's ruthless methods, and his tone was also timid, muttering in a low voice:
"So what? No matter how powerful and cruel he is, he can't kill me for no reason, right?"

Molde with a serious face mocked:
"I can't do anything to you in person, but it's hard to tell behind the scenes!

Don't forget, our new lord is still a wizard!
Powerful wizard!
Wouldn't it be easy to kill you and your family quietly? "

Cook murmured and dared not speak again.

More than 500 people passed through the gatehouse of the castle and walked through the outer castle step by step.

This trapezoidal courtyard-style outer fort is like a giant guarding the gate, staring at every malicious intruder.

"Look, those soldiers on the tower!" Gwent touched Cook next to him with his elbow.

The crowd looked at the sound.

On the solid and towering curtain wall, there are some low battlements (also known as battlements) evenly distributed along the top of the city wall.

Defenders could hide behind raised parts of these walls (merlons) and then fire their bows and crossbows through lower parts (bullets or crenels),

The four cylindrical towers distributed at the four corners of the city wall appear equidistantly on the curtain wall, and some gun barrels with a terrifying metallic luster can be vaguely seen from the fort's eye.

Defenders could shoot at the enemy from multiple angles through the blind eye of the cylindrical tower.

What Gwent saw was the cannon that Zhong Ming was trying to restore.

"Ah, what the hell is this?" Mold exclaimed.

"Who knows? Wizards always have some weird inventions, don't they?" Cook shrugged and said.

Everyone walked forward for a long time, and finally came to the fort.

On the fort, they saw thousands of people standing in a queue.

These soldiers hold axes and guns, equidistant from left to right, from front to back, neat and uniform, which is magnificent.

That's right, Zhong Ming recently recruited more than 4000 strong men between the ages of 16 and 30 to form a new army.

These new troops were high-quality soldiers who had completed three laps around Changle Fort within the stipulated time. They were selected by Zhong Ming from more than 3 soldiers.

Why they are so enthusiastic, it can only be said that Mr. Zhong gave too much.

Five meals a day, every meal is full, and meat is eaten once a day.Rest for ten days and nights.

Ordinary soldiers pay a silver coin for each zog (forty days and nights);
Three silver coins for each zog (forty days and nights) of ten chiefs;
Seven silver coins for each zog (forty days and nights) of a centurion;
Thirty silver coins for each zog (forty days and nights) of a thousand commanders;

Those who are selected will be given a silver coin as a settlement fee on the spot.

This is to serve as a soldier?
In the eyes of the hungry citizens, this is a blessing!
More than 3 candidates are already the result of Zhong Ming's strict age limit.

Zhong Ming also arranged for more than 600 trainee knights who had surrendered from the Huster family knights as instructors to promote his "moderate breathing method" among the more than 4000 new troops.

Zhong Ming promised these surrenders:
I also know that they are uncomfortable under my hands. As long as I complete a certain teaching performance within one Zoya (480 days and nights), I will give 100 gold coins to those who complete the performance, and allow those who complete the performance to leave with full equipment and horses Devonshire went to seek refuge with the new lord.

If you can't complete the performance, you have to do Zoya again and start over.

As soon as this promise was made, the surrenders, who were already tormented by their conscience and knightly honor, suddenly seemed to have found their purpose in life, and they taught them very seriously.

As for why Zhong Ming is so generous in teaching others the breathing method he summed up and created,
First of all, this breathing method was originally tailored by Zhong Ming for himself, and the effect of other people's use will be much worse, and it is only at the level of general advanced breathing methods;
The second reason is that Zhong Ming hasn't figured out how to condense the "source species" on the basis of "The Doctrine of the Mean Breath". Naturally, the more experimental products, the better.

If someone with amazing talents can complete the experimental data, Zhong Ming will be happy before it's too late.

Zhong Ming also used the Eye of True Sight to select more than 3 people with good knight talent and three with average wizard talent from the 200 people, and recruited these people into the new army, preparing to observe and observe their minds. If there is no problem, focus on training.

"Red green red ~ red green red ~ red green red! Turn to red!"

Under the slogans of the officers who were determined from the temporary contest, the recruits sweated and repeated the formation practice.

There is no reason for Zhong Ming not to copy the formation training of Blue Star's modern army, such as standing exercises, stepping, and turning, as a weapon to train the army's obedience and discipline.

It's just that the cultural level of the people in the magical world is beyond Zhong Ming's imagination, they don't distinguish between left and right, one or two!
Fortunately, Zhong Ming had a flash of inspiration and ordered more than 8000 pairs of shoes from tailors all over the city. These shoes were red for the left shoe and green for the right shoe. Two pairs were distributed to all recruits.

There is no distinction between left and right, one or two, it doesn't matter, color can't be separated, right?

Facts have proved that this trick really works.

More than 20 days and nights have passed, and it has already achieved initial results. At least on the surface, it is very "standing" fighting power.

At this moment, Zhong Ming was on the high platform, with a pair of deep black eyes, condescendingly and indifferently staring at his new future vassals.

It's like looking at a group of tiny ants.

　Promote a new light novel book to each other: My name is Gumen Yihui, male, 23 years old this year, a time traveler, with a system.Currently serving as the inspection director of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's first search section, he is a small policeman who likes to fish with trepidation.

　　However, Gumen looked at the mighty little lion and the white wings on the card box, and cursed loudly!
　　"Fuck your sister's Clow card, I'm not a magical girl!"
