"This is the first time in my life that I have seen your love and care for the people in your territory."
Benjy said to Arthur.
He is a standard bachelor, wearing a serious gray robe and a necklace with the bachelor's symbol.
It is said that people who are familiar with this kind of necklace can tell the rank of the owner.
The original owner's family did not employ people, nor did they have contact with many bachelors, so Benji's level could not be determined from the necklace.
"I just treat them as human beings." Arthur responded calmly.
It has been ten days since Bangui arrived. After he took over the command, the project immediately became standardized and orderly.
The ring pit has been excavated for half a month, and the wall is also being constructed simultaneously. The outline of the stockade that Arthur envisioned has already been developed.
The design of the ring pit was supported by Bangui, and he also added a few lines, that is, the ground between the stone wall and the ring pit can be stacked at a slightly slope.
Just enough to be able to stand, but unable to exert any strength.
In the ring pit, stagnant water is introduced and mixed with soft soil to form mud.
The pit should also be dug deeper, about one and a half people deep.
In such a situation, as long as the soldiers wearing iron armor get stuck, they can't get out without the help of outsiders.
Arthur also felt that this kind of mud pit in the moat was stronger than his original idea.
After all, intellectuals are the most evil-minded!
The two thousand adult men promised by Count Janos are also in place. They are carrying large stones from the river every day and transforming them into suitable shapes under the command of the stonemasons.
The entire village is large enough to accommodate 3,000 people.
In order to ensure drinking water and sanitation, Arthur also ordered the drilling of ten wells and the construction of dozens of toilets.
Of course, a lot of wooden houses were built around Arthur's castle.
The most common tall tree in the riverlands is the beech tree. This is a deciduous tree that can reach a height of thirty meters. It is a good material for making furniture.
The workshops along the Three Rivers use wood from this tree to make handicrafts that sell well in the seven countries.
Of course, beech trees are also used to build wooden houses and build village walls.
"Then you keep an eye on it while I go to see how the new recruits are training."
"I am at your service, Lord Arthur."
After Arthur said goodbye to Bengui, he went to the training ground near his family fort.
Here, Amber is acquainting the newly recruited militiamen with the weapon Hand and Half Sword.
After Arthur proposed building a stronghold, he recruited fifty militiamen in the name of strengthening the territory's defense.
They are all mature men selected from each village.
These people did not participate in the construction of the stockade. They just trained with a few elite soldiers from Amber and Bracken to assist in the defense every day.
Regarding Amber's organization, it is true that Arthur has no one under his command.
You can't let the guest soldiers manage it, right?
As for the armor, we don't have it yet. Arthur needs to think of a way.
He hasn't made up his mind yet whether he should grab some or go out and find a big noble to buy them.
We did get a batch of weapons.
A hundred and a half swords obtained from the beauty market.
This most common knight's sword in Westeros is also called a single-handed sword, a guard sword, and a one-handed hybrid sword.
According to the development of weapons in previous generations, this was the mainstream weapon in the late Middle Ages in Western Europe.
The feature of the product is that it integrates the thrusting of the knight's sword, the chopping and slashing of the two-handed sword, and the classic long sword.
There are no obvious shortcomings and no outstanding advantages. The main thing is balance.
Thanks to the extremely popular knight culture in Westeros, the weapons installed by the army are also knightly.
In addition to half-hand swords, infantrymen are generally equipped with shields such as bucklers, knight's sword shields, and dueling shields.
The kind of concave shield used for lances will not be widely equipped in the army.
What Arthur couldn't understand was why no lord in this land liked to use weapons such as spears and spears for soldiers?
For small-scale battles, the combination of shield and sword is indeed suitable.
With a slightly larger number of people, the combination of spears and battle formations would obviously have an advantage.
And no army likes to equip a large number of crossbows.
Whether it is an arm-shaped crossbow, a waist-shaped crossbow, or a kick-shaped crossbow, or Emperor Joffrey's rocker crossbow, or bed crossbow, there are not a large number of equipment troops.
Crossbows, in addition to plate armor, can break through chain armor and pierced armor.
Leather armor, cloth armor, etc., bows and arrows can break through defenses and cause damage.
Arthur guessed that the development of this abnormal weapon was influenced by the dragons of the Targaryen family.
As long as a dragon appears, it will be an overwhelming advantage, and ordinary soldiers will not be able to influence the situation of the battle.
In this abnormal atmosphere, the spears and crossbow weapons that should be developed have all come to a standstill.
Only the armor was updated and iterated and developed to the level of plate armor.
Ordinary soldiers were reduced to security brigades and noble bodyguards, and their function was to collect taxes at most.
Arthur was wondering whether he should discuss with Bengui to see if he could equip his troops with some spears, crossbows, etc.
"Sir, our training business is booming." A recruit said to him.
It's called a new soldier, but on Arthur's troop panel, it's called a peasant soldier.
After carefully studying the panel, he came up with the upgrade route for an ordinary soldier.
There are five levels in total. Taking Hejian Soldiers as an example, the first level is unarmored peasant soldiers, then recruits, veterans, warriors, and fully armored heavy infantry with shields.
The one hundred elites who assisted in the defense of Shili City were at the level of third-level veterans.
And Amber is also a veteran.
The previous thirty-five were shown as second-level recruits.
After knowing this, Arthur was deeply shocked.
There is only one veteran who truly belongs to him, and the rest are recruits and unarmored peasant soldiers.
It seems that it is because he has not been trained or fought.
Now with this little strength, he couldn't go out to find people to fight to upgrade his soldiers, so Arthur could only order them to increase training every day.
"Continue training." The Lord responded.
"Amber, you should practice as well." Arthur ordered when he saw the steward standing in front of him giving instructions.
Now all the soldiers under his command have to be trained by him.
With a grimace on her face, Amber reluctantly joined the training team and was guided by the elite soldiers who assisted in the defense to practice sword dancing.
After watching a tangled sword dance for a while, Arthur returned to the site where the fort was being built to supervise the progress.
Both Arthur's people and the laborers on the south bank are working hard.
He couldn't find a typical example of laziness.
Ah, this boring and boring life of a lord.
There wasn't even a black stocking maid in the castle, and Arthur really found it a bit boring.
He could now understand why the king and the great nobles held a martial arts tournament and attracted knights and nobles from all over the continent.
Because it's too boring to stay in your own territory.
Not everyone is like Marquis Walder Frey, who married N wives one after another.
As for Arthur himself, none of the nobles around him thought highly of him and was willing to marry his precious daughter.
While I was bored, someone came over.
"We found traces of Cyril."
PS: This afternoon someone taught me how to write a book, which made my blood pressure rise. I was so angry that I had no choice but to turn on my computer, click on the cavalry and slashing group, find the richest one, go in, rob two villages, and hack them to death.
Hundreds of villagers made thousands of dinars before they calmed down.
It wasn't until eleven o'clock that I calmed down and started coding.
Let’s get some recommendation tickets and monthly tickets to soothe my young and fragile heart, okay?
