Chapter 506: Expanding the Guards(2/2)
And when the time comes, if you want to buy these family members, you can do so as long as you have enough coins.
"Sir Nalant, I am willing to join your guard team, I just ask you to buy back my young family in the future!"
"Me too, Lord Nalant, I am also willing to be your guard and fight to the death for you!"
Suddenly, the two thousand guards below were all moved, vying to become Nalant's guards.
Upon seeing this, Nalant couldn't help but smile, and immediately raised his hand to stop him: "I can understand your mood, but this time our Storm Leader is only planning to select 200 guards!"
"So, I need to conduct an assessment on you now. Only the 200 people who pass the assessment can become this batch of guards!"
"Of course, even if you are not selected this time, don't be disappointed, because I, Nalant, will continue to expand my army in the future, and you will all have the opportunity to become guards!"
After saying that, Nalant asked Quick and others to assess these guards.
The assessment items were very simple. These people were originally the guards of the Northern Principality, so Narant only needed to select the best ones in terms of strength and endurance.
He specially asked Quick and others to prepare two test events: weightlifting and long-distance running.
To lift weights, a simple version of a barbell was used, with a hard iron rod in the middle as the pole and stones as weights on both sides.
If you want to become a guard, the minimum requirement is to lift this simple barbell weighing 150 kilograms for ten seconds.
When the first requirement is met.
The second requirement is endurance long-distance running.
In the five-kilometer long-distance race, the top 200 fastest runners can become guards.
Under this simplest screening method, Quick completed the test in just an hour and informed Narant of the results.
Nalant walked out of the castle again, and sure enough, there were only two hundred strong young guards left.
"I've met the lord!"
"Very good, congratulations on being able to stand out among two thousand people!" Nalant nodded in response to everyone's greetings.
"Sir, my subordinates are willing to swear allegiance to you to the death!" No one else needed to teach them. The next moment these two hundred people knew what to do and knelt on the ground and swore allegiance to Nalant.
"Well, I, Narant Beric, accept your allegiance, and I now declare that from today on, you will officially become the guards of the Storm Territory!"
"As for the promise I made to you before, after I see your bravery and loyalty, I will fulfill it for you and guarantee that your family will be brought safely to the Storm Territory!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Thank you, Sir!" a group of guards shouted excitedly.
"Yes!" Nalant nodded again with satisfaction, and then looked at Quick: "Quick, their training will be left to you! I will give you half a month, and you must teach them to complete various stances and formations!"
"Yes, sir!"
After safely handing over the two hundred newly recruited guards to Quaker, Nalant returned to the castle again.
He did not intend to use these two hundred guards as ordinary small squads of guards this time, but wanted to equip them with spears and then form a Macedonian phalanx to kill the enemy.
Facing the densely packed and fearless dark creatures, it would undoubtedly be unwise to get into a melee with them.
Narant thought about it, and finally thought of trying to see if he could use the Macedonian phalanx to fight.
He used a tight formation and spears to resist the attack of the dark creatures, and then he led Quick and others to cover on both wings.
Coupled with the long-range attack team equipped at the rear, even when dealing with dark creatures, it will be able to achieve both offense and defense, maximizing combat effectiveness.
"I hope things go as smoothly as I imagined!" Narant's thoughts were wandering as he walked.
He only regretted that he had too few extraordinary knights, otherwise he wouldn't have to worry so much.
After all, he had the war horses, but he was short of men.
The 180 high-quality horses captured in the Autumn March can only be kept at the racecourse because there are no extraordinary knights.
Those were all snatched from the Royal Knights, and they are all absolutely good horses.
I don't know if he can gather the extraordinary knights before these war horses grow old, otherwise it will be a big waste.
