Chapter 408 New Soldiers
"Tony, Anderson, Bob, go kill them!"
Three riders were seriously injured, so Zhang Yang directly picked out the three most promising recruits and asked them to kill them. This was a rare experience. Under normal circumstances, they would never have the chance to kill riders above level 25.
"Yes, Captain!"
The new recruit Anderson shouted loudly, and stabbed a seriously injured rider with his spear with all his strength, killing him instantly.
The new recruit Tony followed closely behind, and finally the new recruit Bob. They were not people from peacetime. In this era where human life is worthless, they had long understood the meaning of killing and being killed. They were tired of poverty and hunger. Now there was a chance to break free from their fate, so why would they miss it? Seeing the three riders splattering blood, trembling weakly, and screaming to death, not only Anderson and the other three were so excited that their faces flushed, but even the other recruits were envious. No one showed the legendary vomiting after killing someone.
This is normal. They have probably seen a lot of deaths and murders since they were young.
Killing someone will level up. Anderson and the other two were each promoted two levels. This was mainly because their level was too low, only level 4, and their main occupation was still farmers.
Zhang Yang thought about it for a moment and then added points to each of them, but he still added intelligence first, so that there were four skill points.
Anderson, 19 years old (level 6) identity, farmer.
Main occupation: farmer.
Health: 60. Attributes: Strength 15, Agility 12, Intelligence 11, Charisma 4. Skills: Strong Bow Level 4.
Proficiency: One-handed 45, two-handed 45, long pole 0, bow 60, crossbow 0 ——
Tony, 20 years old (level 6) identity, farmer
Main occupation: farmer HP: 66 Attributes: Strength 15, Agility 12, Intelligence 11, Charisma 6. Skills: Iron Bone Level 3, Power Attack Level 1.
Proficiency: One-handed 70, two-handed 45, long pole 0, bow and arrow 0, crossbow 0. ——
Bob, 22 years old (level 8) status, refugee
Main Occupation: Pendor Militia HP: 68 Attributes: Strength 15, Agility 12, Intelligence 11, Charisma 5 Skills: Iron Bone Level 4, Power Attack Level 2, Ambition Level 1.
Proficiency: One-handed 45, two-handed 70, long pole 0, bow and arrow 0, crossbow 0. ——
These three people are the most promising ones chosen by Zhang Yang, and they all have their own characteristics. For example, Anderson's father is good at hunting, so his archery proficiency comes with 60 points, which is just right for him to become an archer.
Tony is average, so he can go the sword and shield or knife and shield route.
As for Bob, he is tall, about 1.80 meters, and he is a refugee. He has experienced many brawls and has a better foundation, so he can go the route of a two-handed hero.
They will be trained by Zhang Yang. There is no other way. As the son of a farmer, this identity means that he cannot recruit nobles. This can be seen from Tonks' attitude. If he had not saved Tonks' life in the beginning, the other party would have never tolerated him.
He had the five riders stripped of their leather armor and picked out three sets to be awarded to Anderson and his two companions. Then Zhang Yang ordered them to continue on their journey. They could not return to Sarion City for the time being. It was hard to say whether there were other forces behind these five riders.
After two days of trekking on the road, during which they wiped out two small bandit groups that wanted to rob, Zhang Yang and his team arrived at the wilderness where they had trained hard last time.
This place is backed by mountains, far away from trade routes and towns. Although it may be a noble's forest, it is rarely visited by people. Moreover, the Kingdom of Sarion is now at war with the Dasya people, and there should be no noble who would have the leisure to come here hunting. It is perfect for training.
This time, Carly became the chief instructor. After all, she had also been systematically instructed by Tonks, so she was more than qualified to teach these new recruits.
Of course, a future archer like Anderson had to train himself. Fortunately, he had obtained a hunting bow and dozens of feather arrows when he killed a group of bandits before. Zhang Yang set up a 50-meter target for him, so he could practice well every day.
Zhang Yang continued to practice hard according to his own routine.
In the morning, they practiced with wooden swords one by one, and beat everyone, including Carly, until they screamed in pain.
In the morning he trained in throwing, in the afternoon he trained in riding and throwing, as well as slashing with a long sword on horseback, and in the evening he visualized and copied the soul-nourishing talismans.
Every day is lived quite fully.
In a blink of an eye, another month had passed. The food they brought was almost eaten up, and the harvest was also very good.
First, Zhang Yang visualized the Soul-Nourishing Talisman to the third level, which allowed him to gain 1 intelligence point and 1 free skill point. This time he chose the Iron Bone skill, which was Iron Bone Level 2. After all, this was related to health and defense.
Then, after two full months of hard training, his riding skills finally made another breakthrough and reached level 6.
As for weapon proficiency, the two-handed proficiency is 105, the one-handed proficiency is 100, and the throwing proficiency is 255. Except for Zhang Yang, Carly, Anderson, Tony, Bob and others have made great progress, including all the recruits. Among them, those who have made the most progress can obtain level 1 skills, and their weapon proficiency can be increased by up to 50 points, and at least 20 points.
Zhang Yang led the team to break camp, load the equipment, and prepare to leave the wilderness. But at this moment, the new recruit who was in charge of guarding and standing sentry came running over in panic.
"Captain, it's bad, an army is coming towards us."
"What?"
Zhang Yang was also startled and subconsciously thought that it was the army of a certain noble. After all, this wilderness was not an ownerless land. In the past two months, they had hunted many wild beasts in the wilderness.
"How many people are there and how far away are they from us?"
"I, I don't know."
The recruits were trembling with fear, completely terrified.
Zhang Yang had no choice but to order his soldiers to assemble while charging forward on horseback, because the sentry post was on a high hill several hundred meters away.
After rushing over, he laughed as soon as he took one look. These two recruits were too weak. They were not an army at all, but clearly a group of deserters.
Because if it was an army of nobles, they would have raised the noble flag no matter how many people there were. In addition, this "army" of about thirty people was too scattered, like a group of bandits. He had good eyesight and saw the cattle and sheep being driven, chickens and ducks on their backs, a slaughtered pig, and two crying peasant women.
If this were an army, the Kingdom of Sarion would have perished long ago.
So, this is a group of deserters.
Open the Wanderer system and you can see the opponent's situation clearly.
The team was led by a Sarleon Assault Swordsman, and the rest included 16 Sarleon Armed Infantry, 12 Sarleon Militia, and 3 Sarleon Archers.
It's a bit tricky.
At this time, the group of deserters on the opposite side also discovered Zhang Yang, but did not rush over. They were also watching.
After hesitating for a while, Zhang Yang decided not to provoke these deserters, but at this time the sound of hooves was heard, and Carly drove her horse over. She was now at level 2 in riding skills, so it was no problem for her to ride the horse and fly over.
I don’t know what those deserters were thinking, or maybe they lost their minds when they saw Carly was a woman. At a whistle, they spread out and surrounded her.
