8 ghost grass
"Given you enough meat and a month, can you train a hundred dock workers like this?"
Faced with Todd's question, Carter hesitated for a long time and did not dare to give a definite answer.
He has also trained temporary recruits, so he naturally knows how difficult it is.
But after a moment, Carter still frowned and said:
"So what, they're not vulnerable! Give me six or seven brothers, and with just one charge, I can defeat these new recruits!"
Todd didn't bother to refute this.
He clearly remembered that when Samwell had just recruited this group of new soldiers, Carter had shown disdain and said that he could disperse a hundred people by himself with a sword and armor.
But after just one month, he needed the help of six or seven brothers.
I don’t know how many regular troops Carter will need to lead before he can confidently defeat this group of new soldiers when they reach the Crimson Mountains.
To be honest, Todd really wanted to ask Samwell for advice on how to train soldiers, but he was worried that this was a secret of the Tully family, so he could only secretly observe from the side.
While stealing lessons, Todd also noticed something.
That is Samwell's own physical fitness, which seems to be improving at an extraordinary speed.
When he first left Highgarden, Samwell was still a fat man who had trouble even mounting a horse. But a month later, although he was still fat, he was no longer as bloated as before.
When the "military training" first started, Samwell basically gave orders and occasionally followed in training, but he collapsed soon after. But now, he can actually insist on completing the entire training with these new recruits. This kind of progress is comparable to
Call it amazing.
This also made Todd more and more convinced that Samwell's reputation as a good-for-nothing was an act, and he had deliberately gained that fat body. He was just doing recovery training, which is why he was progressing at such a rate.
Thinking of this, Todd's face became more and more gloomy.
The training for new recruits did not end until noon.
This is also the "marching routine" established by Samwell along the way. He trains for half a day in the morning, rests for two hours after lunch, and then sets off leisurely. After dark, he sets up camp, eats and drinks.
After resting, continue the night training.
It is precisely because of this that a month has passed and they have only traveled less than half of the total distance.
Todd made several suggestions to speed up the march, but Samwell rejected them all.
This "cowardly" pioneer knight insisted on training these recruits into qualified warriors, otherwise they would not enter the Crimson Mountains.
"I think he just doesn't dare to open up, so he's just dragging his feet all the way!" Carter complained in Todd's ear again, "When he runs out of money, he will have a reason to give up this operation, huh! It's indeed the Tully family.
The cowardly trash!"
Todd said nothing.
Seeing this, Carter couldn't help but said: "Sir Todd, are you really looking at me like this?"
Todd replied angrily: "What else can I do? Put a sword at his neck and force him to leave?"
Carter lowered his voice: "It's not impossible..."
Todd turned around and narrowed his eyes at his attendant.
Carter coughed lightly and explained:
"What I mean is, you can scare that fat man and make him obey."
Todd withdrew his gaze and lowered his head in silence.
There was neither a yes nor a no to the attendant's suggestion.
Currently, the two attributes of strength and agility have been improved, which will be more helpful to increase his strength.
Thinking of this, Samwell silently recited "I am a ruthless eating machine" while numbly stuffing all kinds of strange foods purchased by Gavin into his mouth.
As all kinds of weird flavors rolled in his mouth, Samwell's expression became more and more hopeless.
But not long after, his eyes suddenly lit up!
"Gavin!"
"Master, are you looking for me?"
"What's the name of this grass?" Samwell asked eagerly, holding a silver-white wild grass in his hand.
Because, he just discovered that after eating this weed, his mental attributes actually increased by 0.01!
Although it is not the strength and agility attributes that he is most looking forward to, Samwell will certainly not let it go if he finds food that can improve his mental attributes.
