Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him here, Kiel shrugged at the two guards who followed behind him, and the three walked around the militiamen running around and returned to the city.
Soon, they were captured by the Rumi Knight on the way back, and a group of ten militiamen had been organized by the Rumi Knight, and they were directly handed over to Kiel for him to take into the city to receive equipment.
"Yes." He answered loudly, then scratched his head and waved to the ten militiamen: "Come with me."
When entering the city gate, several friends of the city gate guard still stopped Kiel and his party. After a semi-formal explanation, they passed through the city gate accompanied by the guard Koliko.
As soon as he came in, Knight Crowe, who was drinking on the wooden box, stretched out his hand to signal them to go over.
Boom.
Knight Crowe stepped on the wooden box under his feet twice, and said to Kiel: "Kiel, open the wooden box and show the boys their equipment."
After finishing speaking, he lightly jumped onto the box next to him.
Kiel came over with ten militiamen, then untied the ropes that tied the strong wooden box, opened the large wooden box with a creak, and displayed the ten sets of equipment that were neatly placed inside.
"Put it on now, and hold the changed clothes by yourself. By the way, all the militiamen in the team except the chief and deputy captain still have a spear. Keel, bring eight spears over here." Knight Crowe ordered .
"Yes."
Keel turned to hold the spear, while the two guards at the gate returned to the gate where the guards were stationed at the bunker and continued to stand guard.
The ten militiamen looked at each other, and then reached out to the big wooden box at the same time.
"I want this!" Someone eagerly took out a simple leather and wood helmet.
This kind of helmet has a frame made of solid wood, and the outside is covered with animal skin as a whole. It is simple in shape but protects the parts on the top of the head that should be protected.
The forehead, ears, top of the head, back of the head, these vital parts of the head are all protected simply.
More militiamen scrambled for the boots provided for them in the large wooden boxes.
To be honest, the simple wooden-soled leather boots for the militiamen are not exquisite in workmanship. When Kiel was in the warehouse before, he discovered that these things were mass-produced by a shop.
Moreover, there is no personal size for the boots, and each one is made as large as possible, and most of the feet will dangle in the boots after wearing them.
But this is really a good thing for many militiamen who don't wear shoes at all when they live in villages or farms.
After all, they only wear a pair of 'fur shoes' sewn mostly from the scattered fur of domestic animals.
Who has worn this before?
Put it on!
Watching the militiamen scrambling for boots, Knight Crowe pursed his lips, feeling hot eyes. After all, when the militiamen took off the wool shoes on their feet, not only did everyone's dirty and blackened soles come out, but also a smell gradually wafted away.
The Koliko guard who was standing aside with his arms folded, stepped back a meter calmly at this time.
But there was no expression on his face at all.
The team's chief and deputy captain's family is relatively well-off, so they immediately took out the rationed crossbows. The two of them took out the crossbows, simple clothes and short robes, leather and wood breastplates, helmets, etc. one by one, and put them aside. , and then took off their coats on the spot, and put on the simple clothes that were distributed to them.
Then he took off his shoes, put on obviously larger boots, put on the leather and wood breastplate, put on the helmet, hung the crossbow string on the crossbow arm, and then hung the crossbow on the hook on the right side of his breastplate Then, the matching short sword in the box is hung on the left side of the breastplate, and the hand shield made of solid wood with a large face is directly attached to the left arm.
Subsequently, two well-dressed and energetic Kendall militiamen were freshly released.
With the correct demonstration of the two of them, the other eight ordinary militiamen in the team finally knew how to wear these equipments. They were not idiots, and soon all ten of them were dressed. After Kiel distributed the spears to the militiamen, he stood up. on the side.
"Well, it's not bad now." Knight Crowe nodded in satisfaction, and waved his hand, telling the militiamen to return to the camp: "Go back, go back to the camp. After returning, let Knight Rumi send another team. In the dark Before that, all militiamen must be dressed."
The militia team happily wore the clothes, then carried their spears, hugged their previous clothes, and went out of the city gate accompanied by Koliko guards.
Steward Linden, who had been waiting by the side for a long time, hurried over with four guards, closed the large empty wooden box, and then tied the ropes to the wooden box again. Swing the large and light wooden box to the bunker where the guards are stationed.
Afterwards, groups of militiamen entered the square in small groups and received their full set of equipment in front of Knight Crowe. Seeing that some of them don't know how to wear these things, Knight Crowe asked Kiel, who was idle, to go forward and guide the militiamen to wear and receive a full set of equipment.
With Keel joining in to help, the process gradually accelerated. The later militiamen had of course seen other people wearing them in the camp outside the city, and with the help of Keir, they were able to replace all kinds of worn-out clothes with uniform militia equipment in no time.
-
In the past afternoon, near dusk. The last batch of militia squads also received their stuff and walked out of the city gate square.
Knight Crowe patted and spoke to guide the exhausted Kiel, and the two walked directly to the camp outside the city.
As soon as Knight Crow left, the government affairs office occupied the other half of the square, and quickly occupied the entire square with donkey carts and supplies.
Some people brought braziers and oiled torches for lighting, and some people came to clean up the excrement excreted by the donkeys. These things were collected and poured into the sewage outlet.
It's not that the Kendall people don't know how to fertilize the land, but with the help of the annual spring flood, the fields near Kendall City are all the most fertile and excellent land.
There is no need to fertilize, and the freshest fertile land will be available for them every year.
Of course, it's not that no one has taken up the idea of these random discharges of waste. Transporting these discarded things to other villages will definitely be welcomed by the locals.
But except for the gloomy forest village which is relatively close in the crevice of the mountains on the west side of Kendall City, the other villages are still far away. It is really not worth the trip just to transport the excrement.
So gradually, no one is doing this in Kendall City.
Kiel followed Knight Crowe out of the city gate, and when he arrived at the militia camp on the road outside the city gate, he saw hundreds of militiamen in neat clothes, with spears like forests. The appearance of the entire team was quite different from before.
The militiamen all wore the same clothes and equipment, and the difference in whether each family was rich or not could not be seen before. All the militiamen put away their worn clothes and gathered in the middle of the road at this moment, listening to Rumi standing on a high place. The knights give speeches for their subsequent training on the road.
All the militiamen have basically participated in the winter militia training in previous years, and they can basically use spears and crossbows proficiently. Some families with some money and land have also practiced the use of machetes and ordinary long swords since they were young.
But after all, large-scale battles cannot be satisfied by simple training as before. The Rumi Knights not only require the militiamen to recall various team formation trainings on the road afterwards, but also require each of them to be proficient in various war talents. skill required.
Basic war organization skills such as long-distance marching, quick camping, quick cooking, night camp attack response, battle development, pursuit stop, defensive retreat, etc.
These not only require ordinary militiamen to know what to do when needed, but also require the two captains of each team to know when and what to do for the whole team.
Of course it is most natural to obey orders, but Baron Kendall spent so much money on the militiamen in the county, naturally he did not intend to make these militiamen as mediocre as the troops under other nobles.
That night, Knight Crowe and Knight Rumi made all the militiamen ready for departure tomorrow.
So at night, many militiamen sneaked to the Kendall City sewage and drains to wash their dirty clothes with the clean river water from the drains.
Everyone doesn't know how the city of Kendall ensures that the whole city has clean water during the flood.
Keir didn't know either. He guessed that this might mean that there was a large water purification device under Kendall City that was not usually used, and would only be activated during spring floods.
Or a large water purification project.
Originally, it was like a feudal world in the middle ages. Kiel couldn't believe that there could be such a thing. After all, other people around him were familiar with it, and they didn't even notice it.
But since he has lived here for a long time, and has seen the Harvest Festival and the spring flood, he feels that everything in the other world is relatively normal.
Divine art is not simply a matter of praying to the gods for power. In the hands of various local priests, they can use it to their full potential.
-
Before dawn the next day, before the chickens and dogs all over the city woke up, the militiamen outside the city had already been urged to get up.
Wipe their faces with old clothes that haven't dried yet, and most of the militiamen wake up.
The army cooks who got up earlier than them had already prepared a fragrant breakfast with the help of the militiamen on duty at night.
Keel, who hadn't taken off his clothes when he went to bed last night, put on his armor and boots, and went straight to cook with his bowl in his arms. Claw knights eat no differently from ordinary soldiers in the morning.
So Keir also went to eat together, and he couldn't eat the food of Crow Knight as he did two days ago.
Several different tubers are minced and poured into a large pot, and simply crushed stale grains are added to make a soup half done in one pot.
Although it doesn't look very good, this thing is very hungry.
Each person is given another cheap wheat cake or bread made in the city yesterday, which will keep everyone going all day.
The next meal will have to wait until evening.
It’s not bad now. When Keir was eating, he heard from the cook that after leaving Kendall County, when he was marching in other places, the supplies at that time basically could only depend on what was available locally in the passing places, and what to eat. When you can't buy anything, you can only eat a small amount of pickled products and wheat flour stored with the army.
The lack of ready-made food is mainly due to the storage time of the baked wheat cakes and bread.
However, I heard that in a certain kingdom in the far north, they have bread that can be stored for half a year and can be eaten. It is even said that that kind of bread can even defend against arrows!
Anyway, Keir didn't believe it.
The hunting bow in the hunter's hand can shoot through his armor at close range, how could it be blocked by the solid bread?
nonsense!
If we really want to follow the legends, then that kingdom does not need to forge armor at all, and directly equips the soldiers with armor baked with strong bread, which can be used as military rations and can resist shooting.
Invincible belongs to yes.
You can also hold a round cake-shaped bread in one hand and a spindle-shaped bread in the other. This time, you are fully armed, really armed to the teeth.
Ha ha.
When Keir was eating, he used these words to tease the cook who was cooking, and got the other side's eyes, as well as the laughter of the surrounding militiamen.
After a quick meal, Keel returned to the tent, fed the two horses with hay to fill their stomachs, then dismantled his tent, rolled up the bedding, and stuffed them all into his carriage.
After saddling and reining the two horses, Keel then helped Knight Crowe dismantle the tent.
Knight Crowe returned to the city after dinner early in the morning to make the final preparations before departure, and here two guards loaded the tent and things into a carriage.
Knight Crowe has the accompanying materials of two carriages, one is here, and the other is still in the city. I heard that they will come out with the lord's team.
The other militiamen in the militia camp are also packing their luggage and supplies.
Ordinary militiamen naturally have no accompanying carriages, and their own things can only be carried by themselves. But there are not many things, and the heaviest thing is that the whole team needs to carry the tents and bedding on their backs.
Once the simple tent is dismantled, there is nothing to worry about. Each person can take a little and carry it behind his back easily.
Knight Rumi asked everyone to stay in place to make room for the road after finishing tidying up.
After a while, Knight Crowe was wearing the extremely heavy armor he wore when he cleared the bandits in winter, riding that tall and strong monster-like horse, followed by a covered carriage pulled by two horses.
The knight went straight to Kiel and the others, and without getting off his horse, he asked the two guards to mount the carriage, and the servant who had originally carried the carriage saluted and left.
"Keil, let the two of them hang your carriage behind my carriage with a rope. Get on your horse and follow me."
Knight Crowe ordered.
"Yes, my lord knight."
Keel stepped on the stirrup and got on the horse. And handed over his luggage carriage to two guards for management.
Afterwards, he followed closely behind Knight Crowe.
His horse was a little afraid of Knight Crow's warhorse, and he didn't want to get close to it. Keel had to reassure it constantly, which gave it a little courage and let it follow behind the tall warhorse.
Knight Crowe took Kiel to the door of Baron Kendall's big tent, and Knight Rumi was already waiting here.
"Crow, your movements are really slow."
As soon as he came over, Knight Rumi rode close to Knight Crowe and complained to him.
"I can't help it. I have been preparing for a long time at home, picking and choosing. Hey, it's not going out for an outing. My wife even wants to bring me a dress. It is said that we are in the south of the kingdom. We northerners can't lose face. Ha ha."
"Ha ha ha ha."
The two laughed, not knowing what was so funny.
Keel didn't smile.
But what he didn't know was that the people and nobles of the St. Holes Kingdom basically migrated from the western provinces of the empire. There is no difference between the north and the south of the kingdom decades ago?
While joking, a group of cavalry walked out from the gate of Kendall City, led by a formally dressed Baron Kendall.
The baron rode out with several entourages and more than a dozen elite guards.
Da da da da led by the baron himself, followed by entourage and guards in two groups, the column crossed the road in the middle of the militia camp, and came here.
"Don't speak suddenly for a while. You can speak again after someone talks to you." Knight Crowe turned around and told Kiel, who nodded heavily to express his understanding.
When a group of cavalry approached the baron's big tent, they gradually yelled to slow down.
Keel saw that the contemporary Baron Kendall was middle-aged, with a thin face but looked very smart. The beard on his face was trimmed very neatly, and he was wearing a more formal hunting suit, neither armor nor too much. formal.
It seemed as if he was going to take someone out hunting.
However, he still wears a striking set of gemstone utensils, crown, necklace, silver wristbands, gemstone-studded gloves, gorgeous belt, and very expensive gold and silver decorated boots.
At the same time, he still carried the jeweled dagger and jeweled staff that Kiel had seen from afar last time on his belt.
The baron's horse is very handsome, and he is dressed in a patchwork leather vest decorated with colorful fabrics. It looks gorgeous, mighty but not scary.
Behind him, the followers are also dressed in brighter colors, but under the obviously loose coat, they wear close-fitting armor. Their horses are relatively ordinary, but they are different from Kiel's horses. Their horses are obviously equipped with some large and small wooden boxes or leather bags, and they don't know what they contain.
Afterwards, the baron's personal guards were much more normal. They wore the same clothes as the town guards under Knight Crowe, except that they were equipped with swords, guns and bows, as well as personnel and horse armor. Moreover, the personal guards all wore a tattoo of the Kendall family. Chapter cloak.
It looks very sharp.
Baron Kendall rode through the camp of the militiamen, glanced at the hundreds of militiamen on both sides, and was very satisfied with the dress and mental state of the militiamen.
Therefore, after arriving at his camp and dismounting, he seemed more excited.
The Baron got off his horse, Knight Crowe and Knight Rumi also dismounted, and Kiel also dismounted.
The three Lords of Kendall County patted each other affectionately, and then walked into the tent together. Kiel saw Knight Crowe's wink, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.com immediately followed behind Knight Crowe.
Afterwards, Baron Kendall's entourage dismounted and followed.
The baron's personal guards, on the other hand, did not dismount, but surrounded the big tent, doing guard work.
-
There was nothing in the tent, and the three of them just stood in the middle and talked after entering.
Baron Kendall looked and followed him in, then glanced at Kiel, who was standing silently behind Knight Crowe, and said to Knight Crowe, "Claude, why don't you introduce this young man to me?"
Knight Crowe turned around, gave way to Kiel behind him, and slammed Kiel's chest armor with his fist: "Joe Kiel. A little warrior who can fight against monsters alone. He was with Jenny's people last winter. Together, they completely defeated the wolf king. I think this young man has a lot of potential, and he is brave and young, with a good brain, and he can learn everything very quickly. I will recruit him as my knight servant, and bring him this time. It means nurturing."
"Oh, that's not bad. Haha, young man, I'm the local lord, how are you?"
Baron Kendall patted Kiel on the shoulder, and Kiel immediately put his heels together, beat his chest and saluted.
He had a serious face, and he had to be serious. After getting close to Baron Kendall, he realized that although he didn't have the sense of coercion and **** killing intent of Knight Crowe and Knight Rumi, Baron Kendall gave him a feeling of extreme fear.
How should I put it, it's as if in front of Baron Kendall, if the other party just moves his finger, he will die.
Will it really die?
He will really die. The various gemstones on Baron Kendall's body are different from ordinary gemstones. You can only see them when you get close. Those gemstones can emit light by themselves, and there is a lot of power flowing inside.
God! This magic gem!
