Chapter 5 Packaging
"At least assign me two, no, assign me four guards to protect me full-time." Luo Ang felt a little sad when he made this request, obviously he was Baron of the Nott family, why do you need to ask Zalanda for instructions on such a matter?
No, when we get to Darauma, he will have to change the defense captain no matter what. He still has this right.
Roang felt cruel in his heart. He had had enough, the feeling of being ridden by his own knight.
"No problem, even if the Baron doesn't bring it up, I will do it. After all, the retreat is different from the castle." Zalanda agreed without hesitation, "In this case, let's do it. Let’s get started!”
Zalanda was as resolute as ever. After finalizing the agreement with Roang, he immediately gathered all the personnel except for the rotating defense personnel in front of the small square in Northenburg.
Zaranda turned sideways to Luo Ang, who was sitting on the rostrum, and said, "Lord Baron, do you really not want to say anything to the people?"
Luo Ang stretched his neck and looked at Looking down, I saw people sitting next to each other, their heads crowded and buzzing, and I felt There was a drum beating, and he waved his hands distractedly and said: "Come on, come on, it's the same anyway."
Although Roang has inherited the baronship of the Nott family, he is honored by the people in his territory. He is a master or an adult, but his actual age is only two years older than Gavin.
Their father, Baron Tessen, is a strong man who has stepped into the extraordinary world at best, but is a rough warrior at worst. His ability to manage the territory is quite average. He used to rely on Zalanda's father. , and later relied on Zalanda.
The old baron basically took care of Roang and Gavin. Gavin's situation was a bit special. He stayed with Zalanda and learned something.
Roang, on the other hand, has always been treated like a pig by Oster. He has no knowledge and skills. He is proficient in eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, and has no other skills.
They originally thought they could rely on Tessen for decades, but who would have thought that the old baron suddenly had a brain attack last year, organized an elite force, and personally went to wipe out the monster tribes traveling in the mountains, and then never returned.
Not even the messenger who delivered the message came back, and the high-level priest hired at a high price had no response at all when he cast the full resurrection spell. I don’t know whether Baron Theson and the others have encountered misfortune, or it is too late. The soul has already been judged and reincarnated.
Roang was pushed to the shelves in this way. He could only rely on Zalanda for everything big and small. He showed his face no more than ten times in front of the people. It is no wonder that the leader of the Nott family The people only know Zalanda Star Layington, but they don't know Rohan Nott.
"People of Nott, this is the most critical moment in the history of Fort Nott. We must work together to overcome the difficulties. The kind and great guardian of Nott, Mr. Roan Nott, has promised to open the door. The ancestral equipment library lends the weapons and equipment to all The people of the territory use it to help us tide over the difficulties together. Let us thank Lord Nott..."
The breeze gently blew Zalanda's waist-length fiery red hair, which complemented the fiery red cloak on her body. The afterglow of the sun fell on her beautiful face, reflecting a hint of strength.
From beginning to end, she did not scream at the top of her lungs, but she was full of energy, clear enunciation, and relaxed rhythm, which was enough to spread throughout most of Nott Castle, allowing most people to hear clearly.
Every brief pause will cause a wave of cheers, one wave higher than the other.
This is why the people of Tethyr in later generations supported Zalanda so much and affectionately called her the people’s Zalanda, not only because she regarded everyone as her relatives and people, but also because she regarded everyone as her own relatives and people. Because she had enough ability, she easily used the Nott family's weapons and equipment arsenal to open up the matter and mobilize the morale of the people.
The process of distributing equipment was busy but not chaotic. The Nott militia under Zalanda showed organization and discipline that were beyond the ordinary regular army.
Gavin was not surprised by this. Although he was not known as the Nott Militia, he was actually a militia and had trained with them for eight years. What was originally a matter of course, after comparing the experiences of later generations, it was discovered that Zalanda and his daughter did have their own way of training soldiers. Especially Zalanda is a famous self-discipline and training madman. Once the militiamen are training, she will definitely eat together. , live together, and train together, after more than ten years of this, it is difficult to come up with elite soldiers.
Now that they have the equipment that the Nott family has accumulated over the years, these young people have only one shortcoming - a lot of battlefield fighting experience.
When this is completed, the Nott militiamen will transform into Nott elite soldiers, and will also become Zalanda's initial team.
"What are you doing?" When Zalanda came back to her senses from all the busyness, she realized that Gavin had been following her butt, looking around and stroking around, and even made a suit of armor, but how? Look, they are all a bit nondescript.
The equipment he wears is basically a pair of studded leather armor, and a layer of chain shirt on the outside. Both pieces are light armor, but when worn together, they become medium armor.
The left hand wears a pair of elbow-length iron gloves, but the palm is missing. The top is a thin leather glove, holding a small buckler. The right hand is the simplest leather glove, wearing a pair of belts. Spiked knee pads, and a pair of bladed boots that clearly concealed daggers.
A one-handed sword is tied on the back with a sling, at least one dagger and one-handed ax are inserted into the waist. A one-handed crossbow is hung on the right waist, and a one-handed crossbow is pinned to the left waist. Lantan Island, dwarf-style firing gun
There is a shoulder strap on the chest, and a combat medicine belt tied around the waist. It is bulging inside, obviously filled with small things.
When Zalanda looked at him, he was trying hard to put a blouse on himself.
“Arm yourself.” Gavin said matter-of-factly. “When we retreat, the battles are likely to become very frequent, and the captain will be unable to do anything. I can only take care of myself, and maybe I can also provide some help. Captain, please give me some help. Don’t forget, I’m also a member of Nott’s militia.”
“Substitute! I don’t remember to approve your formal joining,” Zalanda corrected seriously, but did not let Gavin know. Take off your equipment.
Gavin was indeed right. Once she embarked on the retreat, she would not be able to focus too much on him. Most of the time, he had to protect himself.
It is not only Gavin who is doing this. On the other side, Roang, Oster and the four personal guards who have just been sent back are also rummaging through boxes and cabinets to get the best equipment from Nott's equipment library. Part of it is equipped to oneself.
This is their right, and Zalanda can't say anything.
Fortunately, the Nott family has been inherited for hundreds of years and has indeed accumulated a lot of wealth. There may not be many magic equipment, but there are still many sophisticated equipment, and some of them are even made by dwarves.
Not only were the entire Nott militia equipped, but even the civilians were given several pieces of armor and self-defense weapons, especially spears and crossbows, which Zalanda valued the most.
Prioritize the distribution of all of them, and many women and children have also received a handful. In troubled times, it is better to rely on yourself than to rely on anything.
With these crossbows and relying on the car formation, they can still provide a lot of help, even if they shoot randomly, because now the Nott militia has been assigned at least one pair of scale armor, and there are ten of them. Five pairs of half-body plate armor, five pairs of full-body plate armor - Luo Ang and the others took away the other five pairs of full-body plate armor.
In Zalanda's view, it was enough. Two ten-man heavy infantry teams were absolutely as powerful as a killer against the poorly equipped monsters and rebels outside.
