Lord Highlander

   Chapter 667 656. Those soldiers

  Suldak hugged Karl, with a very limited smile on his face.

   "Hey, Dak! For the sake of me helping you send these men here, you should at least be happy!" Karl said, patting Suldak on the shoulder.

The two walked shoulder to shoulder towards Wall Village. When Karl saw the townhouses in the village, he said with emotion: When he came last time, these townhouses had just been built as a framework. Before winter, all the villagers had already lived in. The construction speed of Wall Village is really surprising.

  The roads in the village are also paved with flat concrete roads, extending all the way to the square in the village.

Carl led the group of guard battalion reserve knights to Wall Village, just in time for Andrew and Gullitum to drive a group of horses to the village square, and distribute horses to these veterans who newly joined the cavalry battalion. There are more than 70 camels, and the veterans have just taken over. They are not familiar with these war horses at all, and they are not even as good as the coachmen in Wall Village.

  These war horses were not so obedient. Suddenly, the square in the village was in chaos, and war horses kept standing up in the square.

  Seeing the scenes in front of them, those young reserve knights were riding on horseback, facing this group of country bumpkins, their youthful faces showed a sense of superiority.

"These are the new troops you recruited for the cavalry battalion?" Karl was just standing on the edge of the village square, looking at the ragged villagers in surprise, and a group of war horses who refused to be tamed easily... all kinds of horses, There are all kinds of things, and there are seventy or eighty tall dromedary camels. Karl didn't know what to say for a while.

  Suldak asked proudly beside him, "How is it?"

  Suldak can be regarded as self-made, and he can do this in just one and a half years. Karl thinks that he must not be able to do it.

  Carl said: "It looks okay, uh, speaking of it... I have no right to be fair, I can only look forward to your performance in battle."

  Suldak said with a smile: "That means you don't like them either!"

Karl felt that he should be tactful, so he said: "Well, I admit that we have differences in this regard. On this point of view, I agree with Captain Sauron and Viscount Emmett. Although these are young, they have received professional riding training, as well as technical and tactical training. What they lack is only training on the battlefield. In time..."

   Before Karl could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Suldak: "In time, these reserve knights will become the master knights of the guard battalion in Hailansa city..."

   "Well, you have to remember that you are also one of us." Carl put his arm around Suldak's shoulder and whispered.

"I remember it all the time!" Suldak took Carl to the direction of the children's home. Selina and a group of children from the children's home just happened to be sitting at the gate to watch the excitement. He said to Carl, "What are you doing?" Time to go, I don't have time to entertain you!"

Karl knew that Suldak was joking, so he was not annoyed, he just stared at Suldak and complained bitterly: "Hey, you guy, do you want me to sleep in the open at night in Oak Ridge in such a cold day? At least give I will arrange a sumptuous dinner and a warm room, and I will leave early tomorrow!"

   Seeing Suldak and Karl approaching from a distance, Selina hurriedly called a group of children into the yard. The follower of the dark goddess was still reluctant to appear in front of outsiders.

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

   "So urgent?" Carl asked in surprise.

  Suldak coughed before lowering his voice and said, "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 worry, and then he immediately thought of one thing, then stared at Suldak with wide eyes, lowered his The voice asked: "You don't want to bring these reserve knights into the desert, do you?"

  Suldak nodded without hesitation: "That's what I think."

Karl trembled all over, he immediately grabbed Suldak, and persuaded him in a lower voice: "I think you should listen to me, it's better to let them stay in Wall Village, take them out, you still have to Do you think you are not troublesome enough?"

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

  Suldak immediately retorted.

   The two walked and chatted all the way, and soon came to the yard of the security station.

  …

  The group of young reserve knights led their horses and followed behind the two of them, walked around the square in the village, and walked all the way to the security station in the upper reaches of the village.

The security station is full of militiamen from the militia battalion, and several large felt houses have been built outside the security station, and there are many villagers coming in and out, and these villagers are also dressed in rags. Led by La, they are gathering at a crude temporary archery range.

  Fifteen scarecrows were placed on one side of the archery 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 Suldak to come to the public security station to practice basic archery. If their archery posture is incorrect, Samira needs to correct them in time, otherwise once they develop a habit, those stinky The problem is hard to get rid of. Not only is the accuracy on the battlefield not enough, but also it is easy to hurt your own arm when you forcefully pull the bow.

   For this point, Samira feels the deepest.

These villagers are poorly dressed, and they look skinny, with very thin clothes to keep out the cold, and some of them even walk with a limp. The young reserve knights are standing by the side with their horses, planning to watch These militia jokes.

A group of militiamen were following Samira, listening carefully to Samira's introduction of the performance of alloy bows. They usually don't have access to such sophisticated longbows. The most commonly used by these villagers is ordinary forest hunting bows. The bow is made of old oak wood. Although it is not as good as the alloy bow, it is enough to hunt gray rock iguanas in the wild.

  In fact, the villagers in the barren land have very good bow skills, which is also a means of survival for them in the barren land.

According to Suldak's arrangement, this time Samira is not only responsible for staying in Wall Village, but also shoulders the task of training a group of qualified militia archers. Suldak is going to vigorously develop a group of archers in various natural villages in the barren land Well, Suldak needs them to be able to take advantage of the complex terrain in the village and use bows and arrows to resist those invading robbers, so this time he brought back a batch of alloy bows from the Military Supply and Logistics Office of Hailansa City Hall.

The half-elf archer Samira mastered the "bow art" from the silver moon elves. This kind of body art has high requirements for physical coordination. After the villagers learned bow art from Samira, Trying to shoot a round of arrows with an alloy bow, very few arrows landed on the target.

  Suddenly, the poor performance of the militiamen caused the group of reserve knights who were watching the fun to burst into laughter.

The 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, and she didn't even need to aim. She just pulled the bow string at will and shot a row of arrows , The fine steel arrows were crowded on the bull's-eye like a bundle of arrows, which not only stunned the militiamen who were learning archery, even the reserve knights who stood on the outer circle and watched the excitement stopped laughing.

   On the battlefield, no one is afraid of being named by such a marksman...

Viru leaned against the wall of the police station and basked in the sun. He was wrapped in bandages and looked like a seriously injured soldier. Seeing the militiamen being ridiculed by a group of young knights, urgency, embarrassment, and distress appeared on the faces of the militiamen. On the morning, everyone began to become impetuous.

At this time, Viru walked slowly to the shooting range and said to Samira: "The elf's bow technique is not suitable for everyone, only those with extremely high talent and strong coordination ability can practice this bow technique. You have the blood of an elf, so naturally you can't feel this... Giving advice to them should be individualized."

As he said that, Viru pulled a militiaman over and asked him to stand in front of the table, holding an alloy bow in the way the villagers were used to, and shooting out in one go with the bow and arrow. Bullseye...

   For a while, the ridicule outside the court quieted down.

"Their archery skills are not bad, but some postures are not correct." Weilu spoke not fast, and everyone around could hear him clearly. He patted the villager's chest and abdomen with his hands, adjusted his standing posture, And said to Samira: "Drawing the bow so frequently will easily injure your back muscles, so you can straighten your body when you stand..."

  Samira knew that Viru was the Hawkeye invited back by Suldak, but she didn't expect that his understanding of archery was so much higher than her own...

There are a total of 150 people in the militia battalion. With the continuous invasion of desert bandits, the militias in various villages are still being reduced. Surdak has already paid a large amount of pension during this period, but this pension, This directly led to unprecedented enthusiasm among the villagers to join the militia battalion.

  People in the barren land are not afraid of death. The living conditions here are quite difficult, and they care more about the pension than death.

  …

   Karl and Suldak stood in front of those young reserve knights.

With a gloomy face, Suldak said to these young graduates: "You have received four years of training in the Knight Academy, and the following is the moment to test what you have learned in the past four years. Now your first task is to provide for yourself Build a tent that can withstand the severe cold, and now this is Wall Village, with a flat field, ready-made water sources, and some conveniences that are not available in the wild, but if you go to the wild, the living conditions may be even harsher than here.”

   "Action, young college student..."
