Village Building Order Frenzy

Chapter 396 The Way of the Soldier

"Whoosh!"

A feathered arrow brushed past Zhang Yang's side, and he didn't look back, he just lowered his body as much as possible and steered the horse to gallop.

He was discovered shortly after riding the prairie hunter, because he never fled the battlefield very far from the beginning.

The north-south ditch is less than 300 meters long, which is why he encountered the Jatu nomad.

The other party just wanted to go around in circles to intercept the rout in front of them, but in the end they bumped into the unlucky Zhang Yang.

Now, the two Jatu attackers abandoned their defeated troops and were constantly approaching.

Perhaps the only good thing is that the three Jatu Lancers are chasing the knight servant named Ron madly. As for the other one,

It should be dead, and then a Jatu Lancer also died. This is the cruelty of confrontation with spears.

"Whoosh!"

Another feathered arrow shot at him, only a dozen centimeters away from him, which meant that the opponent was getting closer and closer.

But Zhang Yang wasn't worried at all, because he could already see the city wall of Payne Town in front of him, and could vaguely hear the sound of the horn.

Turn the horse to the left and rush into a green wheat field. This is to avoid the three Jatu Lancers in front. Zhang Yang is not stingy with his horsepower and runs wildly. Life and death are just two minutes away.

Sure enough, in less than half a minute, the three Jatu Lancers gave up chasing and turned their horses around. These Jatu squads came and went like the wind, extremely alert, and ran away immediately if something went wrong, so even the regular army had a headache.

Zhang Yang ran out of the wheat field and stopped on the side of the road. He could see the dust flying in the direction of Payne Township. At least dozens of cavalry rushed out.

Now, it's his turn to make a choice, to turn around and run, to be a wandering knight, um, yes, he has horses and swords now, and those caravans are willing to hire him, and he can always make a few bucks for a trip Hundred dinars can spend some time in the small town of Payne, if he doesn't die in battle.

And another choice is whether to continue to join the army of Baron Charles, this horse and machete are still very likely to become his trophies, and then he will fight for the king, but the chance of dying in battle is higher, because the enemy It is the more ferocious Daxia people.

In just a second, Zhang Yang made a decision. He came here for the battle, because fighting has experience, growth, and finally leaving here.

You can't marry a wife and have children in this world, let's take root.

"Boom!"

The knight in bright armor rushed over, and the ground shook like a mountain. Zhang Yang got off his horse and hid to the side. He thought he would be questioned, but he didn't.

Those proud Sarion knights rushed forward under the leadership of the two lion knights. Although they were destined not to catch up with the Jatu squad, they should be able to save some of the defeated soldiers.

"You're very nice, my name is Ron, what's your name?"

After eating a mouthful of dust, he saw a rider stop, it was the almost dead Sarion knight follower.

It must be mentioned that the retinues of the Sarion knights are already nobles. Although they are the lowest-ranking minor nobles who do not even have the right to inherit, they can be upgraded to the Sarion knights. As long as they make military exploits, they can basically get a small The fief of the village.

If they can continue to make meritorious service, they can be selected to join the more glorious Knights of the Lion, which is the direct line of King Ulrik.

If you want to go one step further and upgrade to the most powerful disciplinary knight in the whole continent, well, that's basically impossible.

"My lord, my name is Theo, a recruit from Hadley Village."

Zhang Yang saluted respectfully, and glanced at the opponent's chain armor and the lance that had disappeared, which was enough for him to judge the truth of the matter, that is, the Jatu Lancer was killed by Ron in front of him.

After all, only a powerful knight can control a solid lance, and similar retinues basically use hollow lances that break when touched.

Therefore, this proves from the side that this is a promising knight retinue.

"You killed a Jatu nomad? Well done, that's great, I'll take the credit for you, but now, Theo, a new recruit from Hadley Village, I want you to go to Payne Township to rest immediately, in the Before this evening, you will come to the new barracks to report to me."

After finishing speaking, Ron blinked happily, the meaning of his words was obvious.

"Yes, my lord."

Zhang Yang salutes, he can now go to the town of Payne to sell the spoils.

Twenty minutes later, he came to the gate of the town of Penn, which was originally a knight fortress. Baron Charles' grandfather was a lion knight. He built the fortress and gradually developed the surrounding area, eventually forming today's small town.

The city wall is not high, built of logs one by one, with simple arrow towers and lookout posts on it, and a few soldiers with bows and arrows can be seen talking and laughing.

The city gate was also made of wood, very primitive. Two soldiers with spears were standing guard, but there was no intention of interrogation. Some men and women with dark complexions and shabby clothes kept coming in and out. Some of them led two sheep, or led with a little pig, or with a few ducks.

This is to be released to graze, and it is absolutely impossible to have food to feed them.

Zhang Yang led the horse and walked in, facing the street like a muddy pond, exuding a stench, mixed with the aroma of baked bread on the street corner, very dreamy.

In a house facing the street, the attic window was open, and the middle-aged prostitute who had just woken up was rinsing her mouth expressionlessly, grunting, puffing, and yelling and cursing.

Two idlers wearing round hats leaned against the corner of the wall where the sunlight couldn't shine like dogs, scratching lice and looking around wickedly.

This is the small town of Penn.

Fifty meters ahead, there is a side street, and at the end on the left, there is the barracks, Baron Charles's fortress and a manor, and on the right, there is the Roaring Tavern, the Mother Donkey Inn, the Old Hodder Blacksmith Shop, Silva bread oven, Tela groceries, these constitute the commercial center of the small town of Penn.

Zhang Yang stopped in front of the donkey inn, and put the machete, the leather jacket and boots from the Jatu people in the open space, which meant they were for sale.

As for why it is here, because the hotel is full of caravans, and they have a need to buy horses.

Of course, if you are lucky and meet a rich man who wants to become a wandering knight, it will be fine.

Facts proved that Zhang Yang's judgment was correct. He waited for less than half an hour before the prairie hunter was spotted by a caravan that was about to set off, and he bought it for 150 dinars to pull the cart.

The price is not high, but Zhang Yang only wants to make a quick move.

The scimitar was bought by a hired guard who happened to have a broken weapon, and was only given 50 dinars.

Leather jackets and boots only cost 12 dinars.

This money is really a huge sum of money for Zhang Yang and the idlers in Payne Town at this moment. If he has no means, it is estimated that he will become a corpse before tomorrow morning .

So Zhang Yang turned around and went to the old Hodder blacksmith shop.

Although it is said that joining the regular army is to issue weapons, but if you think about it, you will know what it will look like, nothing more than wooden sticks and iron forks.

For your ambitious plans, it is necessary to have some weapons by yourself.

The Old Hodder's smithy was neither famous nor outstanding, but it was responsible for forging weapons for Baron Charles' ordinary soldiers.

"Theo, I heard you killed a Jatu this morning?"

As soon as he entered the door, a shirtless young man inside raised his head and smiled. This is Daniel, the apprentice of the blacksmith Old Hodder. He is also from Hadley Village. He is a childhood friend of the original owner. Now he has been an apprentice in the blacksmith shop for eight years. up.

"That's right, so I'm going to join Lord Baron's army, maybe after a while, you'll have to salute me." Zhang Yang smiled slightly.

"Haha, in fact, as long as you can come back alive, it's better than anything else." Daniel was a little emotional, then he looked back, and lowered his voice: "You've made a fortune, are you planning to buy some good guys, don't worry, old Huo De At home, I can pick you some good ones, by the way, how many dinars do you have?"

"200 dinars."

"It's really good. I want to go to war. Well, it's impossible to buy chain armor with this money. This leather vest is good. It's made of hard cowhide. Count your 30 dinars. This leather helmet, the inner lining Iron bars, I made it, count you 20 dinars. Do you have leather boots, choose a suitable one yourself, count your 20 dinars.”

Daniel rambled on, but his hands were not slow.

"When it comes to the battlefield, shields are indispensable. Do you want a wooden shield covered with leather or a wooden shield inlaid with iron? Old Hodder's wooden shields are all ten-year-old willow wood, but I suggest you choose this round wooden shield. How about 40 dinars if you cut ten iron bars and can't break them with a sword?"

"What about this shield?"

Zhang Yang looked at a big round shield in the corner.

"Ha, that piece, I don't recommend you to ask for it, it's a trophy brought back by Lord Baron Charles, it is said that its owner is a Vanskerry pirate leader, Old Hodder later restored it, using a walnut heart , 20 iron bars are used on the inner and outer sides, which is twice the weight of a conventional shield, and the most important thing is that it costs 100 dinars."

"I want it." Zhang Yang was very persistent, he didn't want to say that he was afraid of death.

Daniel looked at him seriously and nodded, "Okay, let's make a deal, but in this way, you can only take some simple weapons."

"It doesn't matter, get me an ax with a shorter handle."

As Zhang Yang said, he picked up the round shield of Vanskerry's guards. It was indeed very heavy, weighing about twenty kilograms. On the battlefield, it really couldn't be played without enough strength.

However, Zhang Yang's strength is now 15, which can barely be used, and as long as he upgrades two more levels, he will almost be able to use it.

Changing his equipment again, leaving 190 dinars behind, Zhang Yang went to the grocery store to buy a water bladder, a bag that could be carried on his back, a piece of burlap for bandaging wounds, and two pieces of black bread that were hard enough to kill people. A small packet of bacon jerky.

At this point, he was empty again, so he didn't linger, and went straight to the barracks to report.
