Knight's Infinite Journey - Chapter 171 Veteran
“You hope to find a job?”
Yadimu looked at the two big men in front of him and couldn’t help but smile: “Then what kind of skills do you have?”
“Or in other words, what can you do for me?”
He looked at the two people in front of him and asked.
The two immediately laughed.
Judging from their faces, these two people should be brothers. At this moment, the older one said: “We brothers are all famous hunters nearby. Whether you use us as bodyguards or for other purposes, we are willing to do it.” .”
“As long as I can manage enough food.”
The younger brother on the side spoke quickly.
Yadimu stood there, his expression looking the same as before, still remaining calm.
There he was smiling, chatting with the two people in front of him.
The two people in front of me are indeed brothers, the older one is called Loken, and the younger one is called Linn.
Both of them are not natives of Lima, but are nearby mountain people.
The so-called mountain people are the local indigenous people nearby.
Most of them live in the wild, gathering in one place in the form of tribes, where they practice collective life.
Because of this, they are rarely seen in Lima.
This time it was a surprise.
Judging from the current situation, the Loken brothers have been hanging around here for a long time and still haven’t found anyone willing to hire them.
As for the reason, it’s not that difficult.
On the one hand is identity, on the other hand is the market.
Although they are quite majestic, if they are used for work, it is better to use slaves directly.
If they are used as bodyguards, they are obviously not as professional as those on the side, and they don’t even have a weapon on them.
In addition, as a mountain dweller, there are also a few discriminations, so naturally no one can take a fancy to him.
Yadimu was moved in his heart.
He looked at the outfits of the two people in front of him, a few thoughts flashed through his mind, and then a smile appeared on his face.
“If you have nowhere to go, just follow me first.”
He looked at the Loken brothers in front of him and said this, and then pointed to Gretel beside him.
Grete understood and immediately walked forward: “Come with me.”
He took the Loken brothers aside, gave them a few pieces of pie, and then left the place.
After leaving here, Yadimu continued shopping.
But apart from the Loken brothers, he never encountered any surprises elsewhere.
So soon, he turned around and left.
Returning to the previous place, Sailuo was also back at this moment.
According to Yadimu’s instructions, he purchased a hundred slaves, and the price was not too expensive.
This is the advantage of being a local snake, at least it is not easy to be cheated when conducting this kind of transactions.
Otherwise, if someone else came over, it wouldn’t be so smooth.
This is also the biggest value of Silo at present.
“Take them down to clean them and give them some clothes.”
Yadimu nodded with satisfaction, and then reminded: “If there are similar slaves in the future, you can buy them together.”
“yes.”
Sai Luo didn’t ask why, just nodded respectfully, and then went down to prepare for things.
Yadimu took Gretel and went down to take a look.
At the bottom, hundreds of slaves are washing their bodies.
As slaves, there are profound marks on their bodies, and many of them look skinny and skinny.
Of course, there are also a few who are relatively strong and even have scars on their bodies.
Yadimu stepped forward and asked.
“what’s your name?”
He looked at the person in front of him and asked.
Opposite him, the middle-aged slave was silent for a moment, then opened his mouth, and what he spoke was a burst of unfamiliar language.
This is not the language of the Principality of Korn.
Yadimu was thoughtful.
On the side, Sailuo hurriedly came forward, trying to find a translator for Yadimu, but Yadimu stopped him with a wave of his hand.
Under the astonished gazes of others on the side, Yadimu then spoke, but what he said in his mouth was another unique language.
Although it sounds unfamiliar, it is the same as the language spoken by the slave in front of me.
Looking at this scene, everyone, including the middle-aged man in front of them, was stunned.
“Can you speak the language of the Principality of Milo?”
The middle-aged man looked at Yadimu in front of him with a surprised expression.
“More or less.”
Yadimu nodded, and then asked: “Are you a warrior?”
“good.”
The middle-aged man nodded, as if he had thought of something, and a sad look appeared on his face.
With the questioning, Yadimu also learned more about the man’s origins.
The middle-aged man in front of me comes from a country called Milo.
In the past few years, Milo was at war with several other countries, and a large number of soldiers from both sides were sent to the battlefield.
The man in front of me is one of them.
People who are sent to the battlefield usually have several endings: they either die in battle, become deserters, or become prisoners.
The middle-aged man in front of him was taken as a prisoner of war and sold directly to a nearby slave trader.
His name is Cotton, and he is an officer in the Principality of Milo.
This actually surprised Yadimu.
“You are an officer, why hasn’t anyone ransomed you?”
He spoke curiously.
According to the rules of this era, military officers were generally held by nobles.
Once nobles were captured, they were generally not sold as slaves.
It would be a better choice to ask the family behind them to pay the ransom.
In response to Yadimu’s question, Cotton smiled bitterly and did not speak.
“No matter what, you are mine now.”
Seeing that he didn’t want to say more, Yadimu didn’t force it, he just smiled and said, “Are you interested in working for me?”
“Do I have any other choice?”
Facing Artimu’s gaze, Cotton smiled bitterly, and then said this.
Yes, he is now a slave, so what if he doesn’t want to?
Will you continue to be his slave in this place?
To a certain extent, if he was unwilling to change the status quo, he would not take the initiative to tell Yadimu so much.
The reason why I want to say so much is actually to attract Yadimu’s attention.
“I don’t care what your past is.”
Facing Cotton, Yadimu smiled, and then said: “I only care about what you can provide me.”
“You are Milo’s officer. You must have your own opinions on how to train soldiers, right?”
“How much do you know?”
Cotton said somewhat conservatively.
To be honest, he didn’t actually know much about how to train soldiers.
As a noble officer, he more often led his soldiers to charge on the battlefield.
The rest is not his strong suit.
But obviously, that cannot be said right now.
Otherwise, I’m afraid the young man opposite would be able to get rid of him on the spot.
And it wouldn’t be wrong to say that he didn’t understand training at all.
After all, he came from the army, so he knows a little bit about all the things involved.
It’s just that I’m relatively less proficient.
Yadimu actually knew this too.
But he didn’t care about Cotton’s quality.
Whether it is a mule or a donkey, you will know when you take it out and try it.
If it really doesn’t work, it will be the same if someone else is replaced at that time.
Besides, he really didn’t have anyone on hand to use.
So far, I have found that the only one who is pretty good is Gretel, who knows a little more.
As for Silo, although it is considered a local snake here, to be honest, it is just like that.
Yadimu kept him solely for the convenience of taking charge of the Shaman Gang.
As for the rest, we can’t count on it.
In fact, as Yadimu’s control over the Sharman Gang gradually deepens, Sailuo’s role is gradually reduced.
After casually asking Grete to release Cotton, Yadimu did not leave immediately, but continued to speak: “How many people became slaves in this war?”
he asked curiously.
“a lot of.”
Cotton sighed, and then said: “Many people became prisoners of war and were later sold around here.”
“I saw quite a few of them in the previous place.”
“There are quite a few people who were sold here with me.”
He thought about it and quickly realized his value: “If you are willing, I can go over and sort out that group of people.”
“Please believe me, these are definitely good warriors.”
“oh.”
Yadimu became somewhat interested, then nodded and looked at Sailuo aside: “You should go with him.”
“yes.”
Sero nodded and quickly followed Cotton.
There is also an interpreter with them to facilitate communication.
After doing this, Yadimu returned to the other side.
Taking Gretel with him, he came to the previous venue.
It was a fairly empty area that was originally a warehouse.
But after Yadimu came, he transformed this place into a small training ground.
At this moment, many people are training on the training ground.
Some people are doing physical training, but there are also some senior people who have begun to provide rudimentary combat teaching.
Those responsible for teaching are the eight team captains appointed by Yadimu.
As captains, the reason why they were selected by Yadimu in the first place is because they have a good foundation and foundation, and they have more or less understood some fighting skills in the past.
This foundation is nothing most of the time, but it can also allow them to master some simple combat skills in a short period of time after being trained by Yadimu, and then teach them to others through these people.
Relatively speaking, the combat skills taught by Yadimu are actually quite simple.
Although simple, sometimes it also means practical enough.
Unlike knights who specialize in combat and have sufficient tricks in combat skills, ordinary soldiers only need to master appropriate combat skills, match the appropriate weapons, and have a strong body in battle.
According to Yadimu’s experience, as long as the physical equipment, relics and training are up to standard, and finally cooperated, they can play a very good role on the battlefield.
At least killing someone is easy.
At this moment, at a glance, we can see that the people in front are in a group of ten, cooperating with each other. Although the time is still short, some prototypes can already be seen.
Yadimu was quite satisfied with what he saw.
Gretel stood beside Yatimu, correcting him from time to time.
The two brothers, Loken and Linn, stood behind Yatimu, looking at the training scene ahead with some surprise.
“Does anyone in your tribe train regularly?”
Yadimu looked at them and suddenly asked.
“Won’t.”
Loken shook his head: “We are all excellent hunters. All we face are wild beasts, and we don’t need to fight with people.”
“So, the people in your tribe are all excellent hunters?”
Atimu suddenly became interested: “Can you use a bow and arrow?”
The two Loken brothers nodded immediately.
Yadimu asked people to come forward, handed them a bow and arrow, and started a test.
The target was standing thirty meters away, which wasn’t too far away, but it was just right for the test.
Loken picked up the bow, roughly tested the strength of the bow string, and then started to use it.
With a burst of sound, the long arrow shot out of the air and hit the target directly.
He smiled proudly, and then handed the bow and arrow to Linn who was standing aside.
Lin En also stepped forward and probably gave it a try.
He also hit the target, and all three arrows in a row were on the target.
The only pity is that only one arrow hit the bullseye.
Yadimu was a little surprised.
Although the ability to shoot an arrow from thirty meters is nothing to him, it is not so for ordinary people.
With a little training, you can become a qualified archer.
“How do the people of your tribe compare to you?”
He asked such a question.
“Most people may not be as good as us, but they won’t be too far behind.”
Loken thought for a moment and gave this answer.
Yadimu couldn’t help but nodded.
If this is the case, then these mountain tribes are pretty good.
Just recruit them and train them a little to form a good archer unit.
This can save a lot of time and energy and can be quickly formed in a short time.
In addition, experienced hunters are familiar with the terrain and know how to hide themselves and even obtain information from the outside world. They are also good scouts.
Various thoughts flashed through Yadimu’s mind, but on the surface, he still didn’t say much. He just chatted with Loken and exchanged various messages.
From the conversation, he knew that the life of the mountain tribes was not easy now.
The life of safari is not always smooth, and it also encounters many disasters.
Sometimes it’s danger from the wild, but more often it’s from other mountain tribes.
In the mountains, mountain tribes also go to war with each other, sometimes to compete for hunting grounds, sometimes for other reasons.
In a failed tribe, all the men will be killed, leaving only women and children.
In recent years, with the development of Lima City, many people have also come to join the mountain tribes and started slave business with them.
Nowadays, many men from defeated tribes will also be sold and directly become slaves.
This is also one of the sources of slaves.
In order to obtain slaves and thus obtain money, wars among the mountain tribes became more frequent.
Frequent wars also brought exchanges.
So at this time, some young mountain people like Loken also began to leave the tribe and try to communicate with the outside world.
“If you have any companions who want to come down later, I’ll be happy to give them a job.”
Yadimu patted Loken on the shoulder and said to him with a smile.
