Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 261 The Army of the Territory

Rhode hesitated looking at the remaining 5000 chivalry points in the system. He also had the internal strength he wanted. Should he continue to extract martial arts, or extract miscellaneous knowledge that is very helpful for the construction of the territory, or extract those that can enhance strength? Weaponry or medicine?
He thought for a while, and used the [-] chivalry points to draw miscellaneous studies by ordinary lottery. This time, he only got one useless book, which was about painting, and the others were very good. it works.

And there happened to be "Firing of Porcelain" and "Wine Brewing Technology" that he needed very much. He decided to arrange people to be in charge of the development of these two businesses when he returned home, and strive to put them into production after the wharf was repaired.

Rhodes felt that the nobles in this world would definitely not be able to refuse exquisite porcelain and mellow spirits, and waited to see if they could get something related to tea and silk, these two were also very profitable businesses.

He still has 4051 chivalry points left. He didn't know whether he should choose to draw a lottery or use it to buy a skill slot, and finally decided to save it for later use.

Rhodes sat cross-legged on the boat and began to run Hunyuanyi Qigong according to the prompts given by the system.

Shenzhao Kungfu, like Hunyuanyi Qigong, is an internal energy without attributes, and there is no requirement for the attributes of internal force, and it will not affect the learning of other martial arts after practice.

After an unknown amount of time, Rhodes heard Ford's voice.

"Sir, here we are."

Rhodes opened his eyes and saw that Ford took off the fisherman's hat and handed it to him. Rhodes took it back and took back the system space.

"Stay here first, wait for Quentin to come, and then use this boat to get the people ashore." Rhodes said.

"I think so too," replied Ford, nodding.

After that, Rhodes got off the boat, took off his mask, and walked towards the big house.

He rode on the traveling horse left in the stable in the yard, and then ran towards the castle. The guards of the town saw that Rhodes was riding a horse, but no one stepped forward to stop him.

Rhodes found Slade in the barracks next to the castle and asked him to bring all the soldiers except those who needed to stay in the castle.

Rudolph took some soldiers to kill the wandering robbers in the territory, so that Rhodes could only transfer [-] soldiers from the castle in the end.

These thirty soldiers plus the guards in the town should be enough to maintain order.

"You let them wear the steel armor snatched from the Roman Empire, don't wear the fur armor they are wearing now, and polish their weapons and shields brighter." Rhodes said to Slade.

He felt that the soldiers in fur armor in front of him had no deterrent effect, and they were a bit shabby compared to the noble family soldiers he saw on the pier before.

It's winter now. Although there is no snow here, the temperature is still very low. Wearing fur armor is much more comfortable than wearing cold iron armor.

The soldiers brought by these chief maesters were well-trained, and no one complained when they were woken up from their warm quilts on such a cold night.It can also be seen from the expressions on their faces that they have no dissatisfaction at all.

"Okay, I'll go now." Slade said respectfully.

"You will take them to Hewang Town directly later, I will go to see the situation first." Rhodes nodded, he was worried that Quentin had already sent people over, if no one came to arrange, there would definitely be a lot of trouble.

With so many people coming to his territory, food has become a big problem. Originally, the food in the territory was only enough for the residents of the territory to barely survive the winter. Now that so many people have come, the food will definitely not be enough.

Rhodes was going to see if Quentin could use his boat to help him buy some grain in other cities. In the tavern before, Quentin's attitude was a bit perfunctory, saying that he would decide whether to accept Rhodes after Rhodes finished building the pier. Conditions provided.

It is said that in the adult world, such a tactful answer is rejection.

Rhodes rode a horse to the riverside of the town. He saw Quentin's boat parked not far from the shore, and small boats were thrown from the big boat.

It's not yet dawn, Rhodes can only roughly see these clearly.

Rhodes rode to the guard camp at the edge of the town, and there was only one guard at the gate.

After he dealt with the baron's illegitimate son, he threw nearly half of the town's guards into the dungeon, preparing them to experience the life of a miner for a few years.

"Call everyone up, put on your equipment, and take up your weapons. Now there is a very important task for you." Rhodes said to the guard sitting at the door and fiddling with the stove.

The guard showed a look of dissatisfaction, but finally replied, "Yes, my lord."

He stood up slowly and walked into the camp.

Rhodes felt that it was necessary to find someone to train the guards of the town. He didn't want them to become as lazy as the guards of Icestone City, neither patrolling nor training in winter.

After waiting for about 5 minutes, no one came out, so Rhodes opened the door and walked in.

The soldiers inside were still sitting on the bed in a daze. This shouldn't be the state of soldiers. Most of the guards in the town were young people. They almost belonged to the lord's reserve army. If Rhodes didn't have enough troops, he would drag them to the battlefield.

Rhodes didn't ask how strong their fighting power was, but at least they had to be still.

"Hurry up!" Rhodes urged, he didn't come in before because he was worried about causing psychological pressure on these soldiers.

But unexpectedly, these guards were all dawdling inside, and they still didn't get up after 5 minutes.

In the future, carefully screen the guards in the town. Many people think that this is an easy job and come in to dawdle, but this is not good for Rhodes, the town residents and themselves.

If there were robbers, such as the river robbers on the Qinghe River, who suddenly attacked the town, these soldiers would not be able to perform their due duties and protect the residents of the town.

It would be better for everyone to switch to something else sooner.

Seeing Rhodes around, they immediately got up from the bed and quickly put on their equipment.

What Rhodes did when he first arrived in the territory still deterred them. They all remembered that Rhodes killed a large group of town guards by himself, and he was not injured at all.

After three or four minutes, the guards of the town put on their equipment and ran to the gate to assemble.

Looking at their crooked queues, Rhodes felt that it was really necessary to strengthen the management of these people. They couldn't even stand in the most basic queues. When they went to the battlefield in the future, how would they deal with those who were in a neat formation? Soldier?
"Come with me, many people have arrived in our territory, I need you to go and maintain order." Rhodes said loudly, he wondered if he would still need the soldiers he brought from the castle when he got there To maintain order among these guards...
