"Attention!"
"Count off!"
After the morning run, the two captains, Ruger and Carter, would bring the scout team to the town square to line up. After that, the team would disperse for lunch. After lunch, a whole day of training would begin. Some were strength strengthening, some were battle swordsmanship, some were cavalry battles, and there were even small team combat drills.
The team had been following Roddy's training plan without any mistakes.
The new Knights Templar did not participate in the training. Roddy's only request for them was to "observe" all the scout training courses.
This made them feel relieved. After all, the training of the scouts was inhuman. Just thinking about it gave them a headache. In the eyes of ordinary people, what was the use of running laps? What was the use of hugging a rock to train? It was better to practice swordsmanship.
Naturally, they had a disdainful and mocking attitude. Most of the Knights Templar felt that this group of scouts running around all day was comical like a group of monkeys.
But as a Knight Wellington who had experienced war, he did not come to a conclusion so easily.
"The training that Roddy arranged for them seems to be very complicated?"
On the morning of the 24th of October, Wellington looked at the scouts in the distance who were cooperating with each other. His eyebrows furrowed even deeper than a few days ago.
"There is a procedure. It is probably done according to a certain pace. There are a lot of aspects involved, but it should not be complicated."
Sodelor was wearing a simple combat shirt, leather boots, and a long sword hung on his belt. There was still sweat on his forehead. He had the habit of running with the soldiers.
"I have never seen this kind of training. But if they really go on the battlefield, their combat power will definitely be much stronger than the other troops."
It was not easy for the Knight of Wellington to praise them. He could feel the smell of blood on the scouts. This was definitely not something that the ordinary army of the kingdom could have … In this day and age, the so-called "army" was mostly a group of farmers who picked up weapons. Even the professional mercenaries were mostly used to being undisciplined. They were valiant but lacked discipline. They were completely different from the professional soldiers in front of him.
Sodelor took out a small book and flipped through the next part of the plan. He explained bluntly, "Rody's goal is very simple. He needs an elite army capable of resolving small-scale conflicts."
Wellington was silent. After all, he was considered an 'outsider' and was not willing to ask too much about the private affairs of the territory. Seeing this, Sodelor no longer chit-chatted. He bowed and said, "Then let's begin today's lecture, Knight Wellington."
With the Dukes Of Angmar's request, Wellington naturally had to accept Sodelor as his "disciple". He was also quite satisfied with Sodelor's superb comprehension and talent. He taught him swordsmanship, key points of battle, how to condense "Battle Aura", and so on. Sodelor naturally benefited greatly from his teachings.
It could be said that Sodelor had improved by leaps and bounds over the past month.
But just as the two were about to begin today's practice, the soldiers running from afar brought news that they had been waiting for a long time: Roddy had returned.
Sodelor and Knight Wellington immediately went to greet him. But when they saw the two people following behind Roddy, their expressions instantly became extremely strange.
Didn't he say he was going to the Silent Forest? Why did he bring two people back?
Both of them knew that Sally had feelings for Roddy. So when they saw that Roddy seemed to have good luck with women, their expressions became a little strange.
"Knight Wellington, Sir Baron."
Roddy smiled and saluted to the two. Immediately, the original strange atmosphere disappeared. Wellington grinned, but Sodelor directly punched Roddy's chest and jokingly scolded, "You're teasing me on purpose, aren't you?"
The friendship between men was always expressed in this way. Although they had only not seen each other for a month, they could see some changes in each other. Knight Wellington even slightly narrowed his eyes and gently sniffed, as if he could smell the increasingly strong smell of blood on Roddy's body.
The others naturally could not capture such details. Sodelor and Roddy exchanged a few words, and then looked behind Roddy in confusion. Natha's indifferent eyes were looking at the surrounding buildings. Although no emotions could be seen, the curiosity in her eyes could not be concealed.
Naturally, Akasha was not like Nata. She was actually looking at Sodelor curiously. That was because in her memory, Sodelor, who Rody called 'Baron', was one of the scouts who fought together with Rody in the Orc Kingdom.
She was a little puzzled. Why did Roddy's subordinate become a noble lord, but he was still alone?
"Let me briefly introduce you. This is Akasha, a Holy Priest. She hopes to have a suitable identity here. Sir Lord, do as you see fit." Roddy winked at Sodelor. The latter covered his forehead and made a helpless expression. Then, he formally bowed to Akasha and said, "Welcome to Paar Territory. I can do whatever Roddy promises."
Having been away from battle for a month, Sodelor's tone was no longer as solemn and tense as before. He said in a relaxed tone, "Actually, you can treat him as a lord. Don't look at me, he has the final say here."
After saying that, he winked at Roddy, obviously wanting to make this captain proud in front of the two ladies. But before Roddy could say anything, a scout ran over from behind. Obviously, he had news to report.
"Captain Roddy, Sir Lord, Knight Wellington."
He had a respectful expression on his face. From the order in which he called them, it was obvious who these people in front of him were.
Sodelor should have been the one to respond, but he looked directly at Roddy. This attitude obviously made Roddy feel a little helpless. He emphasized, "You are the lord, don't look at me!"
Wellington, who was at the side, smiled. He was really curious about the relationship between these two people.
Sodelor did not feel awkward. He smiled and turned his head to ask, "Where did you get the news?"
"Viscount Tranka sent a team, led by Butler Blake of Gigg Town. He said that he was busy some time ago, and now he finally took the time to send a batch of supplies as a congratulatory gift."
"Viscount Tranka? He really is considerate. Where is he? "
"They have arrived outside Paar Town. The caravan has stopped at the town entrance, Sir Lord."
The scout's answer made Sodelor take it seriously. Obviously, as the new lord, it was necessary to have a good relationship with the "neighbors". Viscount Tranka's territory was adjacent to Paar Town. The viscount's territory was not small, and his territory was rich in resources and had a large population. No matter what, he was a person worth paying attention to.
"This is good. You go and entertain them first. I will settle them down. When there is time, I will introduce you to them." Roddy did not have any intention of interfering with the order. He really did hope that Sodelor could build this place well. Of course, the ultimate goal was naturally to better support his future territory.
Wellington did not participate in the discussion. He chose to avoid arousing suspicion and said, "I will go and take a look at the training of those boys. You go ahead."
Sodelor bowed respectfully to Wellington. He considered himself a "disciple", and his attitude was always humble. He turned around and smiled apologetically at Roddy and the two beauties behind him. He said, "Ruger has nothing to do this morning. He should be in the town's blacksmith shop studying weapons. Go and find him to arrange food and lodging. By the way, the egg you placed in Noran Village has hatched. When you have time, go and take a look. It's a little turtle. "
Roddy's eyes brightened. He nodded to show that he understood. Then, without saying anything more, they turned around and did their own things. Both of them were quick-witted people. Even though their status had changed, they were still as swift and decisive as before.
"I really did not expect … that he has already become a lord," Akasha sighed.
Akasha sighed, but there was not much emotion in her words. She had always been a person who was at ease with the circumstances. After her worries were gradually dispelled, she became more and more quiet. She did not have too many desires. She only wanted to live happily every day.
"There are many things that you did not expect. This won't make a difference. I will find a suitable place for you to stay. Take care of your body first. " Roddy then turned around and asked Natha, "Just now, those two people, who do you think is stronger?"
Natha was stunned for a moment. Then, she realized that Roddy was testing her. She thought for a moment and said, "The taller one looks very dangerous. The shorter one … is also a bit difficult to deal with."
Knight Wellington was two meters tall. Sodelor was slightly shorter. Obviously, Natha's judgment was very accurate. Roddy nodded and said, "There are many things to learn here. The first is observation."
He then pointed to the town and said, "From now on, I will not restrict your movements. Before dark, you have to figure out the terrain here. You have to familiarize yourself with this place like you are familiar with the jungle. In the evening, when it's time for dinner, come and find me."
Natha nodded and then walked to the side without hesitation.
"She doesn't like to talk."
Akasha said as she looked at Natha's back. Her coldness was slightly piercing. Although she knew that she had helped her before, Akasha could not communicate with her at all. The language barrier was secondary. Natha's cold eyes really made people feel uncomfortable.
"Natha has that kind of personality. Don't worry about her." Roddy looked at Butler Blake in the distance. Suddenly, his expression became a little solemn. However, this emotion was fleeting, and Akasha did not notice it.
"There will definitely be a banquet tonight. If you can, come along."
"Huh? Okay … okay. "
Akasha's heart moved slightly. She did not quite understand the intention of Roddy's arrangement. She looked at the figure in front of her who was greeting the scout. Her fingertips could not help but fiddle with the ring. There was an inexplicable feeling of "honor" in her heart.
