Chapter 25 Militia

“These are the people you selected?” when Roland looked at the group of civilians dressed in shabby clothes, all his courage fleay ihness, these are the people who fulfilled your requireers, “e, no disabilities… I carefully inspected all of them”

Well, he knew he shouldn’t have expected too much After all, this world’s productivity was h to eat was already a difficult task, so wearing shabby clothes was just nor his castle he could see many people who only wore clothes that did not cover the whole body, begging for sodom of Graycastle there existed a job as a corpse carrier – the only thing they would do was to collect the people who starved to death and then burn their bodies every day

So as the general fighting power in this world? Roland closed his eyes and reviewed his plan carefully again, ‘Ah… probably a little stronger than a high-level street fighter’ Generally, when the Lords decided to ar (or hts as ould be overstating it), they would summon all the aristocracy placed under their jurisdiction in their territory A Lord would always split his territory into many sovern them, like a Duke would select Earls, the Earls would select Viscounts, and they again would select Barons, and so on

These nobles usually had a group of knights and mercenaries as their personal army They were the main force in combats, equipped with a complete suit of armor and sophisticated weapons At the same time, they would recruit civilians and far combat – in fact, they were used to deliver food supplies to the troops and when needed they would even fill up the holes in the front lines as cannon fodder The most people who died on the battlefield were the people used as cannon fodder Fighting between nobles would rarely result in soht and later exchanged for ransom

Roland did not expect help froainst the demonic beasts In fact, they had no relationship with Border Town Most of the local Barons were living in Longsong Stronghold The stronghold was also under the jurisdiction of the regional aristocracy

An all-civilian force was in this day and age a very inorant, failed to understand strategies, nor could they understand the co structure, and they also hadn’t received professional coht as trained in the art of the sword from when he was ten years old?

Carter who stood near Roland whispered sohness, this project is not feasible You look at them and tell me, which of them can hold and balance a sword? I’m afraid that when they encounter the demonic beasts, many of them will desert us, and at that tiest that we hire professional uard the walls and let these people do their normal chores “

“No, I’ll use theood opinion of the mercenaries orked for money and did not love the land, and besides, he didn’t forhout history it was seen that only a force whoseand full of vitality Whether it was the feudal forces, the forces from the not-very-distant past or modern army troops, there were countless examples which verified this rule

“Well, you have the final say,” said Carter while shrugging with his shoulders “Then I will start to train theh I don’t kno useful that will be…”

“With a sword? No, you will first take theht of the fact that his chief knight never had experienced these kinds of training exercises Without any better options he had to change his plan, “Try to find the hunter fro him to me You both will be the first to look at hoill handle the training”

Today’s experience may be even more inconceivable than what happened in the last two decades cohness, The 4th Prince Roland Wie He passed directly by himself and even so, when he heard the speech of the 4th Prince on the square, he knew that this winter would be different frohold, instead, they would spend the long winter here The truth was that he didn’t understand most of the reasons mentioned by the prince, but he supported from the bottom of his heart the result of this decision His own brother died two years ago in the sluhold after a whole month without any food supply They could only rely on the hard-earned coppers he got frooods at the docks With them, he was able to buy some black bread and share it with his brother But the winter was too cold The ould blow through the h to eat and with no possibility to maintain their body teot sick, he fell into a coain

Here in Border Town, he at least had a house built out of soil brick There was no fear of the falling temperature or the many days with snow fall He also sawat the pier, and then the wheat was moved in batches into the castle Therefore, when he heard that the 4th prince was recruiting a istered hiravel producer But the teet a monthly salary of 10 silver royals This was co boy He was only waiting until the spring of next year to marry his future wife Sheryl, a tavern maid Now he had no problem to save some money

As for the requirements and the future tasks of the militia shown on the notice, he did not pay any attention to the the civilians on behalf of the lord They had to patrol along the city wall and keep the beasts fro up the wall, and withstand the crazy attacks of the de process Alone, the sight of soh to make people feel afraid Fortunately, he had a sturdy physique and got through the review, but hts In the end, only 100 men were recruited
