Jones and Anna finally got rid of their status as prisoners and officially joined this unknown group of bandits. Jones curiously asked Anna: "What did you say to him just now? Did he let you join so easily?"

Anna said proudly: "I said I am only 14 years old. When I grow up, I will be even better than you! Haha!"

During the next journey, Jones and Anna also learned about the origins of this group of bandits. As Anna said, they were Colts west of Edinburgh and had been living near the future Glasgow. Their originally stable life had changed last summer.

Destroyed by the cruel King Edwin, two thousand heavy armored cavalry slaughtered their tribe effortlessly. They were all survivors of that tribe. The boss was the old chief's son named Zingla Page. The team followed

The cavalry beside him were his personal guards. When the tribe was attacked, Singla happened to take them hunting and survived.

The little leader is Yodel Page, a tribal warrior. He was knocked unconscious by the enemy's horse during the attack, but he narrowly escaped death. There are about 300 main tribe members in their entire team, and about 1,200 people like Jones who joined later.

People. This time Singla only brought out 400 people, and the remaining 800 people stayed at the garrison. Their main purpose of this operation was to grab some daily supplies, both in terms of personnel and food. This was also the reason for capturing prisoners.

Anna also explained to them their origins. They were descendants of a small aristocracy from the East Saxon city of London. Their family was destroyed by the barbaric King Riedewald, and they were the only two brothers to escape.

They supported each other and begged all the way to get here. Jones' name is Jones Doyle, 18 years old; her name is George Doyle, 14 years old. This also explains well why Jones cannot understand their language.

When Yodel heard that they were both from the world, he trusted them more and more. Not only did he directly promote Jones to his deputy, he also made Anna his personal bodyguard. Jones and Anna were also happy with this arrangement. Jones also took the time to teach Yoder.

They learned some simple fighting skills from his subordinates. Within a few days, they were completely integrated into the bandit group.

The large group of people walked westward for five consecutive days before reaching their destination: a small town simply fenced with gravel. Yodel pointed to the town and proudly introduced it to Jones and Anna: "Look, this is our Kingdom of Colt.

The capital—Singla City!”

Anna looked at the wall that was worse than the outer city of Edinburgh and couldn't help but ask: "Is our kingdom very poor?" The question was simple and rude and pointed directly at the gate of life!

Yodel laughed and said awkwardly: "There is only this city at the moment, but I believe that under the leadership of our great Majesty Singla, we will be able to capture another city soon!"

This "city" was also snatched away! The two people who originally thought they could live a peaceful life for a few days couldn't help but worry about the dark future. The future will be discussed in the future. They can have a place to stay in troubled times.

Partying is the most important thing. After getting along together, Yodel and Jones have become so good that they can wear a pair of trousers. He asked his subordinates to clean up a small yard next to his house and gave it to Jones and Anna. They also gave them quilts, clothes, pots,

Bowls, ladles, basins and other daily necessities.

Anna consciously tidied up her room at home, while Jones went to the town to familiarize himself with the environment. (The name is Zingla City, but it is only the size of a small town)

The small town also has its advantages. There are all kinds of stalls and shops on both sides of the main road in the town. There are actually two blacksmith shops! Jones felt in his pocket and Yoder lent him a silver coin, ready to go in and see if there was anything he could find.

There is no weapon suitable for you. In times of war, weapons are much more important than food!

Picking up an iron sword, looking at the rust on it, it’s hard to believe that this is a freshly made weapon! I waved it twice. The weight of about three kilograms is not considered light, and the center of gravity is obviously tilted forward, and the balance is extremely poor.

, it’s quite uncomfortable to swing.

Jones sighed and put the iron sword back to its original position, then picked up a big knife. It was heavier than the sword and had worse balance. He shook his head, put down the big knife and left the shop without saying a word. It seemed that he wanted a suitable one.

You can only make your own sword yourself.

Jones wandered around the town twice but didn't spend the silver coin! He had to lick his face and come to Yodel's house to ask for help. In a half-baked dialect, he got straight to the point: "Brother Yodel, I want to build a sword that suits me."

, but I’m not familiar with the place here, so I don’t know what to do.”

Yoder patted his forehead and said apologetically: "I'm so sorry, brother, I should have taken you to the warehouse to get the weapons. I was so excited when I got home that I forgot about it! Come on, I'll take you to the weapons warehouse now."

Jones didn't expect that this unreliable little bandit country actually had a weapons arsenal, so he immediately followed Yodel to happily get his equipment. Yodel took him to the most luxurious manor in the town and introduced him to him.

: "This is the palace of our King Singla, and the weapons depot is also here. You wait here, I will report it."

Jones couldn't help but look forward to this somewhat decent manor, imagining that there would be a super large weapons arsenal with countless shining weapons for him to choose from!

After a while, Yoder and Singla walked out together. Singla admired this new partner very much. He was not only handsome but also very good at fighting. Isn't this his ideal general?

Singla opened his arms and hugged Jones politely and said with a smile: "I know your reason for coming. Come on, I will take you to the weapons warehouse. There are all kinds of weapons for you to choose from!"

Jones was so happy that he followed Zingla to the innermost room of the manor. The broken door made Jones' smile stop abruptly. Zingla took out the key and opened the big rusty lock on the door.

The sight made Jones almost cry. There was a pile of weapons inside, which were good, but the quality was not as good as the garbage in the blacksmith shop!

Singla looked at Jones who was stunned, thinking that he was shocked by his collection, and patted Jones on the shoulder proudly and said: "These are our trophies, you can choose whatever you want!"

Jones looked at Singela with tears in his eyes and said, "Your Majesty the King, can I take a few more pieces and re-make them?"

Xingla was stunned and asked: "Why, you are not satisfied with these? They are all weapons that have been used on the battlefield, and they are not comparable to the garbage in the blacksmith shop outside! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't let him get close to this place.

!”

Jones' thoughts suddenly changed and he immediately denied: "Dear His Majesty the King, it's not that I dislike your collection, but I like to use some unique weapons, so I want to make one myself."

Jones's interface successfully aroused Zingla's curiosity, and Zingla waved his hand: "You can choose any weapon in the arsenal!" He also asked people to "borrow" the slightly larger blacksmith shop in the east of the town.

All the labor and equipment. Jones was also unambiguous. Picking and picking in the arsenal really allowed him to pick some usable weapons. These weapons were of different styles, but they had a common feature: some of them were rust-free! This shows that

The rust-free parts must contain rare stainless steel elements such as chromium or molybdenum!

Jones didn't expect to make a stainless steel sword that was so bright that it was blinding, but as long as the material contained some rare metals, the toughness and strength of the sword could be greatly improved. This was what he really needed!

After preparing the materials, Jones didn't want to waste a moment and went straight to the blacksmith shop that had been prepared. Singla and Yoder also followed curiously.

Jones came to the blacksmith shop, picked up a piece of charcoal, drew several circles on the weapons he brought, and said to the blacksmiths: "Take out all the places where I drew circles."

The three blacksmiths glanced at Singela behind Jones and didn't ask any questions. Each of them called on an apprentice to start working. In just a short while, they had taken out the part containing the rare metal.

The next step is to overlap and smelt them together, which is a waste of time! The temperature of the furnace in the blacksmith shop is completely unable to dissolve these iron blocks, so we have to burn them red-hot one by one and knock them into iron sheets, and then slowly forge the iron sheets.

Together. But this step only took three days!

Singela and Yodel only watched for a long time before feeling bored. Singela went back to the palace to work hard for the number of crown princes, while Yodel hurried home to hand over the public rations...
