Our family is in decline

Human beings are very fragile but also very tenacious creatures, just like weeds on the roadside. Even if they are trampled countless times, as long as the roots are still there, they will always grow when encountering the sun and extend towards the light.

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

Wherever he went, the people wholeheartedly welcomed him, and he was truly welcomed by the people. The state of full vitality and all things flourishing was still before his eyes.

People support him because their lives have indeed improved and what he promised has been fulfilled.

The price listed in the grain store is acceptable to everyone, and in the morning all workers can get a piece of black bread and a bowl of multigrain porridge with minced fish and meat.

Everyone was full and energetic, looking forward to their reward in the evening.

The current stage is mainly to demolish the collapsed and abandoned buildings, clean up the building materials from them, and then repair and renovate some buildings.

The war with the bandits is not over yet. If we really fight, we will not be able to protect all the people. There is no intention of building new buildings. Basically, they are the renovation of old buildings.

Sanatoriums were converted into prisons, mercenary guilds were converted into city halls, brothels were converted into hotels, churches were converted into auditoriums, and so on.

The purpose is to first support the framework of a town so that it can meet most needs.

But there is one place that is newly built.

That's the training ground.

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

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

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

The new recruits were training in another open space now. Lance moved closer and looked at the young people who were 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 it.

Moreover, the instructor said that whoever performs well in training will be rewarded with an egg tonight, which further stimulated their enthusiasm.

"Hello, sir."

Barristan greeted him, and the recruits also shouted as hard as they could, as if they wanted Lance to remember them.

"Hello, sir!"

Lance glanced at them and found that the condition of these recruits was pretty good. Basically, the ones he selected were the children of farmers and fishermen. These people had experienced hardship and starvation, so the training intensity was acceptable.

But he can't accept it!

Bandits are nearby and may attack at any time. After ten days and a half of training like this, they will only reach the level of a farm guard. They are not even willing to be used as cannon fodder.

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

Lance yelled, his tone extremely tough, "Twice the intensity of all training!"

This sound immediately frightened the recruits. What is the concept of doubling the training? Is that something a human can do?

Barristan was also a little confused. He also wanted to increase the intensity of training, but these people were in too poor health to bear such trouble.

"Everyone adds an egg and a cup of milk every day. The first place in training every day will be rewarded with five copper coins, the second place with three copper coins, and the third place with 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 put forward immediately aroused their motivation. They could eat eggs and milk, not to mention getting money for training. They had never heard of such treatment.

Barristan watched the new recruits change from the dead silence before and became eager to try. He could only lament that the lord had too much money. He had never heard of such treatment in so many years as a soldier.

But his words were not over yet, and then Lance told another piece of news.

"Eventually, I will join the training."

At this time, both Barristan and the new recruits were in shock.

That's the lord. When will nobles mix with ordinary people?

Barristan also sensed something was wrong. He thought Lance was just trying to show off, so he quickly gave some advice.

"My lord is busy with government affairs, training is something like..."

But before he could finish speaking, Lance raised his hand to refuse.

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

Barristan could tell that the lord was not joking, but was actually participating in the training.

Originally, I had only heard about the noble qualities of the lord from other people, but now I truly feel that he is different from those nobles. No wonder Disma and Leonard are willing to stand beside such a fallen lord and risk their lives to fight against him. evil.

Barristan, who originally joined out of gratitude and desire to fight, suddenly had new insights 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 two lives before and after, I lived in the city since childhood, had good food and clothing, and did not 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 subsequent encounters, this made him realize that he could not just rely on the effects brought by the panel, but also needed to learn how to actually transform the panel's abilities into his own power.

Although Lance is physically thinner than Leonard and the others, he still stands out among these ordinary people.

The new recruits also seemed very nervous after seeing Lance join the team. They never thought that the noble would participate in training with them, and they immediately trained harder.

…………

On the ground, everyone was forming a circle, and in the middle there were two people holding long swords and fighting.

Sword lights are flying on the field, and the sound of continuous sword collisions can be heard. Every wonderful move can cause cheers from the people around him.

Although this seems intense, everyone can actually see that the situation is one-sided.

One person stood as steady as a mountain, and his movements seemed carefree, as if he were playing a game.

On the other hand, the other one's aura was disordered, and his steps looked violent but were actually messy. The attacks he tried to slash out were all blocked.

It seemed that the man had had enough fun. After parrying a move, his steady swordsmanship suddenly became aggressive. With just one straight thrust without any fancy, the opponent was unable to parry, and watched as the sword tip stopped in front of his neck.

"Lord, the winner!"

When the winner was decided, cheers erupted immediately on the field, and the man standing on the field was none other than Lance.

After several days of high-intensity training, Lance has also changed from his previous pretty face. His facial contours are highlighted and he looks sunny and resolute, and his body has become stronger, with bulging muscles visible on his arms.

The price is that he becomes a little darker, but this makes him look more mature, no longer the nerdy look before.
