Chapter 15: Let me face the enemy with one hand.
It is very easy to set up a flag for everyone, and it is almost as difficult as voting for a monthly vote.
Therefore, Leon firmly set the goal of learning ancient magic at the first time.
Because this is the only way he can see currently to improve his own strength.
However,
even if you have a golden finger, it is not easy to achieve this goal.
My golden finger is not too weak, but too strong.
There is an entire archive of books, and just trying to find books that match my current level of magic is an extremely huge project.
Not to mention that learning ancient magic with Leon's current knowledge is about as difficult as asking a primary school student to learn classical Chinese and memorize a piece of "Li Sao".
There must be someone who can do it, but unfortunately that doesn’t include Leon.
Fortunately, Leon was already satisfied with the opportunity to learn ancient magic, and naturally he would not ask for more.
The fire in the fireplace brings comfortable warmth in the cold winter, and the territory's food reserves become particularly abundant after the sale of moon velvet.
The only sound in the room was the turning of pages when Leon was reading a book, which allowed Leon to gain a rare peace in this year of jackdaws when hounds attacked.
...
on the school field.
The mercenaries sat around the sidelines, chatting and looking up and down at the "volunteers" who were training.
"The guy on the far right in the second row is a good prospect at first glance!"
"Bullshit! The guy third on the right in the first row is the one. Although not as strong as that guy, he is strong enough at first glance." "A
gamble? "
Okay! We never..."
"Shut up! What a bet!"
Todd's scolding ended the mercenaries' aimless chat.
"I asked you to come here to help others train, not to judge!" "
Boss! Tell me, how to train?"
the mercenary on the side asked with a smile.
"Send ten good guys later to train with those new recruits. This is the Viscount's order. Now that winter is coming, it is necessary to review their training results during this period." "Ten
? "
As soon as Todd finished speaking, everyone present was stunned for a short time and started making a noise. Some people even couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Only this group of rookies, I can beat them all by myself!"
the young mercenary Stann said with a chuckle.
As the leader of the new generation of mercenaries in Antolia, Stan, who is only twenty years old, has already been recognized by the mercenaries, and was even trained by Todd. He is a rare good prospect.
Not only was he outstanding in archery and highly accomplished, but with his powerful muscles, he once defeated two fully armed knights by himself. He was even more brave in the fight with plateau hounds and was highly respected.
Seeing that Stan was so confident, Todd simply said:
"In that case, let's go up and have a try."
Even he himself did not dare to be so careless and fight against a hundred young men in front of him. De also felt the need to suppress Stain's arrogance and conceit.
"Don't worry, let's watch me face the enemy with one hand, just to show everyone!"
After saying that, Stann took a wooden stick from the sidelines, swung it onto the court, and yelled:
"Come on, boys!"
"Draw out the sword!"
The young man at the head shouted, and the recruits who had already been gearing up immediately raised the wooden swords in their hands.
Nearly a month of training has already made these young people eager to try.
At first, they may not understand the meaning of training, or they may just do it to earn a living.
But when team awareness gradually formed and the concept of honor and disgrace was gradually established, the young recruits have long wanted to test their own strength.
Yes,
as Leon gradually became rich in money and food,
the original Antolia Fire Volunteer Team finally had a formal establishment. At this time, they had a new name, recruits!
But in front of him, Stan,
alone, wanted to beat a group of them.
The vague contempt in the eyes of the mercenaries and the frivolous words in their words aroused the competitiveness in the hearts of the recruits.
If it were in the past,
they would definitely not be able to fight even one-on-one, but the boldness in the hearts of the Antolians would definitely make them rush forward and fight with the mercenaries.
And now,
they need orders!
"Forward!"
Holding a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, the recruits marched towards Stan in a neat formation.
Although they may be uneasy in their hearts, the concept of obeying orders has already subconsciously affected their actions.
"Damn it!"
Stan realized his carelessness almost the moment the recruits got into formation.
One hundred recruits
marched in an orderly queue.
Even though Stan had actual combat experience and the weapons in his hands had seen blood, it was obviously impossible for him holding a wooden stick at this time to fight among hundreds of people as he had previously expected. Amid the siege, it was like being in a deserted land.
The mercenaries who were laughing and bragging outside the field finally became more serious at this moment.
Todd looked at the scene in front of him calmly, as he had expected it.
He had seen with his own eyes the great changes that had taken place in the new recruits during this period, and he had also seen with his own eyes how wonderful his lord's training methods were.
And the reason why he asked the mercenaries to come here to watch the training of new recruits was because he wanted an opportunity.
Todd knew that his lord had other uses
for the mercenaries in Antolia
, and he never intended to apply a similar template to the mercenaries.
Therefore, this is not an opportunity for the mercenaries to receive the same training, but an opportunity to establish prestige for their lords!
In the face of a formidable enemy, only by unifying our thoughts can Leon's orders be implemented throughout the army.
When Todd turned his attention to
the training field again,
Stan, who was originally full of confidence, had already retreated to the edge of the field under the pressure of the recruits.
Although Stan also struggled to swing the wooden stick in his hand, and even knocked over dozens of new recruits who came forward.
But,
These new recruits who had experienced Leon's personal training were not as panicked as the enemies he had encountered before.
On the contrary,
even if a comrade next to him was knocked to the ground by Stan, new recruits would immediately take up his place, so that Stan could hardly breathe for a moment.
Finally,
a seemingly frail recruit saw the right opportunity and suddenly raised the back of his wooden sword and slapped Stan on the back. The young mercenary fell to the ground.
For a moment,
the recruits burst into cheers.
Although this time it was a bit like the large number bullying the small number, this was still the first small victory achieved by the recruits.
Looking at the young mercenary who fell to the ground, Stan's previous words seemed to still echo on the field:
"Let me face the enemy with one hand and show you how to do it..."
Happy Children's Day, book friends. Hey~
