Chapter 16 16 Ronin's Training

Chapter 16 Ronin's Training

The road was the same as yesterday, but Ronin's mood was completely different.

Yesterday he was with nine traitors who had betrayed their master, but today his guards had no second thoughts about him.

The team was moving at a fast pace, thanks to the five carriages given to Ronin by Earl Wiggins.

With them, Ronin could put all the people in the carriages instead of walking to slow down the progress.

The convoy of more than 30 people, with the "Golden Mountains" emblem of the Wushan family on the carriages, dared not to attack even if they encountered a small group of bandits on the wilderness road.

As for the occasional caravans traveling to Shanlin Town, there was no need to worry.

The owners of those caravans would come here in person to express their sincere greetings to Ronin, and one of them even enthusiastically gave him ten kilograms of high-quality honey.

Ronin accepted it with a smile and also sent a wish for a safe journey to the other party.

The carriage creaked forward, adding a sense of music to the boring journey.

When the sun was approaching the mountains in the west, Roning signaled Macken to stop the convoy.

"Let's camp here today. There is a stream in the south where we can get water."

"Okay, sir!"

Macken gently squeezed the belly of the warhorse and ran to the front quickly, causing all the vehicles in front to stop.

After the convoy stopped, Roning got off the carriage and came to the middle of the road.

After everyone arranged the carriages, Roning shouted in a deep voice:

"Everyone, gather here!"

"Follow the rules I set at noon, stand in six rows and five columns!"

The thirty guards heard it and all ran over in a hurry.

This was the training program arranged by the Baron after lunch. Although it was strange and the guards had never seen it before, who asked the Baron to let them eat 70% to 80% full?

So after hearing this order, they remembered the instructions at noon and did not delay for a moment.

Soon, the thirty guards gathered. Although there were some bumps and bruises in the process, and some people even walked to the wrong row or stood in the wrong line, fortunately, they corrected each other in the end.

Luo Ning nodded secretly. Compared with the laxity of yesterday and the morning, the team now looked like that.

"Stand at attention!" Luo Ning issued a short and urgent order.

The guards made corresponding movements.

"What are you doing?"

Luo Ning pointed at the little man in the third row and fourth column and asked, "Stand at attention, it means that you should put your feet together, straighten your legs, slightly retract your lower abdomen, and naturally raise your chest. Who are you hunching over for?"

The guard should not be very old. Being criticized like this, his face flushed and he quickly adjusted his posture.

There were two acquaintances who had a good relationship with the guards nearby and laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at!"

Luo Ning imitated the attitude and expression of the instructor, and was so stern that the guards dared not breathe.

"If anyone laughs again, don't have dinner!"

The majesty of the nobles, plus the temptation of food, the guards had to take it seriously and stand in military posture in the middle of the road.

The scene looked a little funny.

"McKen, I'll give you the key points of the movements, go forward and correct those who didn't do it right."

As the guard officer of the baron and the most powerful knight in the team, this seemingly simple task brought unprecedented pressure to McCann.

In order to do the movements at noon well, McCann studied the key points of these movements throughout the afternoon, and asked Roning several times during the period.

Fortunately, hard work pays off, and he can be considered to have mastered it quite well.

"Yes, sir!"

McKen responded and stepped out of the line and began to carefully check the thirty guards.

Roning stood aside and checked, and at the same time, he was thinking whether this training method was useful, after all, there are extraordinary powers in this world.

But soon he figured it out.

What if there are extraordinary powers? Extraordinary people also start from ordinary people.

This set of training can train people's consciousness, cultivate team spirit, and improve team discipline, which is obviously useful.

"Standing at attention is only part of the training. There will be military boxing and fighting competitions later."

While thinking, McKen finished the inspection and came to the front, "Report to the adults, the inspection and correction are completed!"

Roning nodded, "Return to the team!"

McKen also saluted symbolically, and then returned to Roning's side and stood upright.

"At ease."

With the new instructions, the guards made new movements.

Roning just took a quick look and found that there was no big problem, so he didn't let McKen correct it.

"Today is the first day of my special training for you. If there are any mistakes, I will only correct them and will not punish them. But starting from tomorrow, if anyone is still careless, don't blame me for being rude. Do you hear me?"

"I heard it~" The guards responded timidly.

"Louder, do you hear me!" Roning roared.

The roar startled the guards, who quickly responded loudly: "I heard it!"

"Okay, let's disband here. According to the division of labor at noon, start preparing dinner."

Roning smiled and said: "As long as you train well, I won't treat you badly in terms of food and drink."

The guards' tense nerves relaxed a lot after hearing this.

In fact, they have heard a lot of negative comments about Roning, such as being addicted to banquets, overindulging in sex, not interested in practicing, having a bad temper, etc.

But after spending the whole day together, they found that the baron was not as bad as they said.

Originally, they followed to Shanlin Town just for money, but suddenly they felt that perhaps following Baron Roning was a good choice.

"Master, the honey water is ready for you!"

Chahar came over with a crystal cup in time.

"Thank you."

Tasting the sweet honey water, Roning felt very comfortable.

"Stay here and rest at night. McKen, remember to arrange people to guard the night."

Roning reminded, "Remember to arrange two groups of people to take turns to guard and ensure that everyone has a certain amount of rest time."

Although this is not in the Wushan Mountains and there are no powerful monsters, some weak monsters and wild beasts still exist.

Roning doesn't want to die while sleeping.

"Don't worry, sir, leave the defense to me, and never let any enemy get close to our camp!"

"Well, I believe in your ability. After dinner, light the bonfire, and I have new moves to teach you."

"Okay, okay..."

McKen felt a little guilty, and was a little curious about what kind of new moves it was.

Roning handed the empty cup to Chahar, "Remember to tell everyone that drinking water must be boiled before drinking."

Although the air and scenery here are relatively primitive, Roning is still not sure whether there are difficult bacteria in the water in the stream.

Anyway, it is always good to drink boiled water.

"Don't worry, sir, the water in all the water bags is boiled and then cooled."

Chahar said respectfully: "I also informed the other guards who are responsible for cooking, there is no problem with the water."

"I am still confident in your work."

Roning laughed, took the long sword from the carriage, and shouted to Macken.

"Come on, it's your turn to teach me swordsmanship."
