Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 42 Military Construction
"Boss, boss!" Robert jumped out of the fence of the barracks excitedly like a monkey, "I didn't expect this barracks to be more interesting than I imagined!"

Because of the limited funds invested, the barracks only unlocked the school grounds and shooting ranges, which can be used to train infantry and archers. As for the horse farms and stables that can train cavalry, according to Speer's budget, he will have to invest twice as much. Built to use.

However, this is enough for now, because to be honest, apart from the poor horses, there are no more than five horses in his territory that can be worthy of war horses.

Moreover, in this world, donkeys are still extremely precious creatures, and the dream of forming a donkey cavalry may not be realized.

Stannis pushed open the gate of the barracks, and the red dragon banner with a black background that was hanging at the gate of the barracks fluttered in the wind.

"Attention everyone, stand in line!"

He and Radish went in and saw Korodov trying to get a line of people to line up.

Because the number of tents is limited, the upper limit of his barracks training number is 20, which is exactly the same as the streamlined number he originally envisioned.

Seeing the lord approaching, Korodov did not stop the training, but continued to practice.

Yes, it has the demeanor of Zhou Yafu's army Xiliu.Stannis nodded approvingly.

But this group of trained farmers did not look like soldiers at all. They were all recruited from various villages below after Bachelor Romon issued a recruitment order. There is no need to think about the military system, so Stannis had to spend money to support the army. Each person was given two gold coins a month as an allowance, and the equipment, board and lodging were provided by the lord.

Although they were carefully selected strong young farmers this time, it seemed that their slack posture was not as strong as that of their parents, and they still stood in a row in a magical 'S' shape.

Korodov's face was as pale as a pig's liver. After all, the lord entrusted him with all the training of the army. It would be unreasonable if he couldn't even stand in the queue.

Stannis didn't care, anyway, after going through so many things, he didn't have much expectations for life, especially when he saw an old hen with a bunch of chicks in a line straighter than his army. After walking in front of him.

"Why are there still people raising chickens in the military camp?" He was puzzled.

A farmer raised his hand, "Lord Lord, this is what my old lady asked me to bring. She said that anyway, being a soldier is idle, and raising two chickens can also subsidize the family."

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd, and Korodov, who was in a hurry, quickly raised his riding whip and lashed the talking guy's ass hard.

"Oh." Stannis was as calm as if everything was underestimated, because the current situation was the same as he thought before, and his army did not have any cohesion at all.

In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, the reasons for attracting a group of people to fight are nothing more than interests, blood relationship, religion, nationality, country and doctrine.

Unfortunately, he was unable to provide any of these.

And it's like playing the piano to these guys who don't know the ligature and only know how to plan food.

Because even he doesn't know who to fight with, and no one has come to fight him until now, so he can't lead this gang of beggars to provoke others like a war madman.

Korodov gave up the pointless attempt after seeing that the queue was unable to stand up.Then he asked the farmers to pick up wooden swords and practice against each other in groups of two, hoping to save face.

Stannis was deeply skeptical.

Sure enough, how could those farmers who have never touched a sword in their life be able to skillfully use weapons to fight? On the contrary, they held the sword in fear as if they were holding a poisonous snake, and as soon as the two swords touched, they screamed and threw it away. to the ground for fear of hurting himself.

No matter how Korodov roared and swung his whip, these peasants still refused to let go of the fight. Thinking about it, the opponent was either his big cousin or his little cousin, how could he bear to throw his sword at the opponent fiercely What about the face?

"I said, Knight Commander," Stannis raised his hand to suggest, "should we start with how to use the spear array first, instead of letting them fight each other with swords?"

After all, in the era of cold weapons, the fastest way to pull up a large-scale army is to give them a spear, and then with a little training, they can be sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder.

So it's not for nothing that pikemen/pikemen are so cheap.

"No!" Korodov loudly dismissed his suggestion. He still stubbornly believed in the knight's saying, 'All battles start with holding the sword'.

"If these people don't even have the courage to draw their swords in the face of the enemy, how can they be expected to win!" Korodov said loudly.

Stannis shrugged, indicating that everything was under the orders of the Knight Commander.

After training for another half an hour, those poor farmers or soldiers still didn't make any progress.

Stannis has seen through the world calmly.

Korodov almost broke his whip-wielding hand, "You idiots, this is not acceptable! I have to demonstrate to you what a real sword wielder is!"

"Robert!" he growled loudly.

Radish, who was playing with the old hen and chickens, trembled with fright, "What's wrong?" He stood up innocently.

"Come here, confront me with swords!" Korodov ordered him, pointing at the ground in front of him forcefully.

Robert looked afraid to make him angry, and he trotted over to pick up a wooden sword, muttering.

"I said let's practice casually, don't be serious..." Robert felt something was wrong in the middle of the sentence, because the big man in front of him had red eyes and wanted to eat him.

"What... what's the situation?" Although he couldn't figure out the situation, Luo Bo instinctively wanted to get out of the battle.

Korodov roared loudly, "Now we are on the battlefield, fighting to the death!"

After finishing speaking, he held up his sword like a beast and rushed towards poor Robert, who was so frightened that he gave up resisting. With a sound of breaking, Robert flew out with a scream and fell to the ground. It was drawn into his face and snapped off.

"See, this is what you will end up with if you don't work hard! There are no losers on the battlefield, only the dead!" Korodov shouted, pointing at Robert who was rushing to the street, and then yelled at the soldiers in front of him, "Now, get me Pick up the sword and continue practicing!"

Stannis still watched his army's botched training with a look of unrequited love.

"Aren't you getting up yet?" He said to Robert, who was still lying on the ground motionless.

"I'm already dead." Carrot thought of a reason for himself to be lazy.

"Oh." Stannis simply responded.

Maybe the day when his majestic army goes out... will never come.
