our family is gone

Chapter 40 Training
Human beings are fragile yet tenacious creatures, just like weeds on the side of the road. Even if they are trampled countless times, as long as the roots are still there, they will always grow when they meet the sun and extend toward the light.

Lance sent Disma away early in the morning, and then started patrolling the town.

Wherever they go, the people welcome them wholeheartedly, and it can be said that the hearts of the people belong to them. The state of vigorous vitality and all things blooming is still in front of our eyes.

People support him because lives have improved, and what he promised has been delivered.

The price displayed in the grain store was acceptable to everyone, and in the morning all the workers could get a piece of black bread and a bowl of multigrain porridge with minced fish.

Everyone is full and energetic, and they are all looking forward to the evening reward.

At this stage, the main task is to demolish the collapsed and abandoned buildings, remove building materials from them, and then restore and transform some of the buildings.

The war with the bandits is not over yet, if there is a fight, you will suffer if you fail to maintain the order. All of these do not mean building new buildings, but basically renovating old buildings.

Nursing homes were turned into prisons, mercenary guilds into city halls, brothels into hotels, churches into auditoriums, and so on.

The purpose is to first prop up the framework of a town to meet most of the needs.

But one place is newly built.

That is the training ground.

Lance directly circled a piece of land at the entrance of the town to train soldiers. It didn't take too much trouble. He just leveled out a piece of land, placed training props on it, and built a high wall around it.

This is both a sentry post and a bunker, and it is his first line of defense against foreign enemies.

Of course, this is just a work in progress and it will take time to complete.

Now the recruits were training in another clearing, and Lance moved closer, watching the young men training under Barristan.

Their breakfast today is fish porridge with milk, some have long forgotten the sweetness of milk, and some have never even tasted this thing.

And the instructor said, whoever performs well in training will be rewarded with an egg tonight, which arouses their enthusiasm even more.

"Hello, my lord."

Barristan greeted, and the recruits shouted loudly, as if trying to make Lance remember them.

"Hello sir!"

Lance glanced at them. The condition of these recruits was pretty good. Basically, the recruits he selected were the children of farmers and fishermen. These people had suffered and suffered from hunger. This level of training intensity was still acceptable.

But he can't accept it!
The bandits could attack at any time by the side, so after ten days and half a month of training, they would only be at the level of farm guards, and they would be disgusted to be used as cannon fodder.

"The enemies you will face in the future are very powerful, and you are Hamlet's barrier. Do you still want to protect your homeland at this level?"

Lance yelled violently, and his tone was extremely tough, "All training intensity is doubled!"

When this sound came out, those recruits were scared to pee. What is the concept of doubling the training?Is that something humans can do?

Barristan was also a little puzzled. He also wanted to increase the intensity of training, but these people were too weak to bear such a toss.

"Each person adds an egg and a cup of milk a day, and the first one in training will be rewarded with five copper coins, No.2 three copper coins, and No.3 one copper coin.

Those who have not completed the training will be included in the inspection, and if they accumulate three times, they will be eliminated directly. "

The conditions that Lance threw out immediately aroused their motivation. They could eat eggs and milk, not to mention training and money. They had never heard of such treatment.

Barristan watched the recruits change from the dead silence just now and became eager to try, and he could only lament that the lord had too much money. He had never heard of such treatment after serving in the army for so many years.

It's just that his words didn't end yet, and then Lance said another piece of news.

"Finally, I will join the training."

Now both Barristan and the recruits were in shock.

That's the lord, when will nobles mix with ordinary people.

Barristan also noticed something was wrong, he thought that Lance was just trying to make a statement, so he hurriedly gave a warning.

"Your Excellency is busy with government affairs, training is still..."

But before he finished speaking, Lance raised his hand and refused.

"Needless to say, just like them, you can practice as you want."

Barristan could hear that the lord was not joking, but was actually training.

Originally, I only heard about the noble qualities of the lord from other people, but now I really feel that he is different from those nobles. No wonder Disma and Leonard are willing to be by the side of such a fallen lord, sacrificing their lives to fight evil.

Barristan, who originally joined out of gratitude and desire to fight, suddenly had a new understanding, and nodded in agreement.

"Join the team."

Lance joined the team without saying a word. He really didn't do it for show.

In the first and second lives, I lived in the city since I was a child, and I didn't suffer too much. But if I want to survive in this world, I must learn to fight.

Whether it was the attack on the old road or a series of encounters later, this made him realize that he could not only rely on the effects brought by the panel, but also learn how to transform the ability of the panel into his own strength.

Although Lance's body is thinner than Leonard's, he stands out from the crowd among these ordinary people.

And those recruits also looked very nervous after watching Lance join the team. They never thought that the nobles would participate in training with them, and they trained harder for a while.

…………

Everyone was forming a circle on the flat ground, and in the middle were two people fighting with long swords in their hands.

Sword lights danced on the field, and the sound of continuous sword blade collisions could be heard, and every wonderful movement could cause cheers from the surrounding people.

Although this may seem intense, in fact everyone can see that the situation is one-sided.

Standing on the same spot alone is as stable as Mount Tai, and his gestures seem to be understatement as if he is playing a game.

On the other hand, his breath was disordered, his steps looked violent but were messy, and the attacks he was trying to slash were completely blocked.

It seemed that the man had played enough. After parrying a move, his prudent swordsmanship suddenly became full of aggressiveness. It was just a straight thrust without any fanfare that made the opponent unable to parry. The tip of the sword stopped in front of his neck.

"The lord wins!"

Cheers erupted immediately when the score came out, and the man standing on the field was Lance.

After several days of high-intensity training, Lance has also changed from his previous white face. The outline of his face looks sunny and resolute, and his body has become strong, with bulging muscles visible on his arms.

The price was that he turned a little darker, but this made him look more mature, and he was no longer the nerdy look before.
