From a hired knight to a master of Game of Thrones

Chapter 88 Training Grounds [Happy Lantern Festival]

Don Quixote tidied up the somewhat messy ground, extinguished the small fire, then looked at the wolves hiding in the shadows not far away and slowly smiled, "Cole, it seems we're in luck; these wolves don't intend to tear us apart."

Cole said nervously, "Sir, but they haven't given up and still refuse to leave."

"Let's go, let's get out of here."

Don Quixote did not linger and once again drove away the wolves that had already hidden in the forest.

Seeing Don Quixote return unharmed, Rodney breathed a slight sigh of relief and hurriedly went to greet him: "Sir, is this the injured wolf cub? It seems to be in pretty good condition and should survive."

Don Quixote laughed and said, "I hope it survives. Actually, I've always wanted to keep a wolf."

"If it survives, if it's willing to follow me, this could be an opportunity."

"My lord," Rodney said somewhat tactfully, "although wolves seem to understand our emotions a little better than other wild beasts, they are still very easy to lose control of."

Don Quixote nodded and said, "I'm just trying it out; I don't have any high hopes."

"After all, we caused the damage to this little guy, so it wouldn't be surprising if it resents us. By the way, Lord Rodney, just in case the woodland wolves sneak up on my territory, especially at night."

"I plan to arrange for more people to patrol the territory at night."

"If you don't mind, I'd like some of your employees to help guard the area as well."

Rodney thought for a moment and said, "Sir's idea is very thoughtful. As for hiring, sir, you are being too polite. There is no need for that."

"This is about protecting the safety of all of us, and I initially planned to have some people keep watch at night."

"I will instruct them to follow the adults' instructions when they are on night duty."

Don Quixote shook his head and laughed, "That won't do. You are my guests, and guests who have traveled from afar."

"I would feel uneasy if you guests had to do extra work for free because of my territory."

"I cannot let this happen."

"You deserve to be paid for doing more work, so let me hire your people."

"

"Alright, sir," Rodney replied with a smile.

Tangjihede then quickly made some arrangements.

Teams consist of three people, led by a member of the Bloodhand Mercenary Group.

Each patrol consists of three teams of nine people, and there are three shifts of patrol personnel rotating throughout the night.

The area near Yangtou Mountain is the main target for patrol and vigilance.

Not only should they be wary of wolves that might roam the forest at night, but there are other wild animals that cannot be ignored.

His subjects were already few in number, and he couldn't afford to lose any more due to unforeseen circumstances.

Night slowly descends.

Don Quixote sat around the campfire, reading while keeping an eye on what was happening on the other side of Sheephead Mountain.

They were worried that bringing the wolf cubs back to their home or to the center of Grayhill Village would allow the wild wolves to smell them and sneak into the village, causing chaos.

After dealing with some matters and calming the villagers down once again, Don Quixote also moved into a fixed patrol post near Sheep's Head Mountain.

"Little one, your companions seem to have forgotten about you; they've all left."

After finishing another book and placing it on top of the small stack of books he had already finished reading that evening, Don Quixote stretched and looked at the wolf cub lying at his feet, licking a bowl of warm goat milk and drifting off to sleep.

"Aww~"

Hearing the sound, the wolf cub opened its eyes briefly, glanced at Don Quixote, then looked around. Finding no food to be fed, it became drowsy again.

After the wound was initially treated, its panic and anxiety gradually disappeared.

After being fed for another night, it finally vaguely sensed the kindness of the terrifying creature in front of it.

Although it was unfamiliar.

But its instincts told it that it should be safe.

It was still apprehensive and wanted to escape, but it had quietly accepted the delicious food served to it, especially the blood-red food that could clearly improve its health.

At the same time, I felt somewhat relieved and wanted to take a nap.

I woke up to another peaceful and ordinary morning.

The trees in the distance and the sparse grass nearby were covered with moisture, like loose spider webs hanging between the branches and blades of grass.

Don Quixote carried the wolf cub out of the tent.

The campfire not far away had turned into a pile of cold, gray embers.

After greeting the patrolling men with a smile, Don Quixote returned to his stone house.

He then ate breakfast with Adele, fed the wolf cubs a bowl of warm goat milk, gave Adele some instructions, and then found Rodney, who had also woken up and eaten breakfast.

Don Quixote greeted him with a smile, "Good morning, Lord Rodney."

"Good morning, Lord Don Quixote!" Rodney hurriedly replied.

Don Quixote pointed to the wolf cub in Cole's arms behind him and said helplessly, "I don't think it's suitable for me to go hunting again for a while, but I suddenly have another idea."

Rodney immediately replied, "I will follow your instructions, sir."

Not long after, Don Quixote led Rodney to an open space.

It was a newly built training ground near the stables area of ​​Gray Hill Village.

A row of wooden weapon racks stood around the perimeter.

Some wooden weapons and blunt weapons were placed on it.

There are heavy wooden swords, heavy wooden spears, heavy wooden lances, heavy wooden axes, blunt swords with open but not sharp edges, heavy shields, and so on.

Although these training weapons are not very effective at killing enemies, they are much heavier than real weapons such as shields, swords, and axes used in actual combat.

It can effectively enhance the trainee's arm strength and physique.

Besides these weapons, there were also wooden stakes, gun targets with shields attached to dummies and hanging on a rotating wooden pole, and several wooden archery targets covered with thick grass.

Although it was early morning, the training ground was not empty.

There are already six figures here.

This training ground is provided free of charge to all members of the Don Quixote territory for training.

The six people who arrived early for training included two members of the Bloodhand Mercenary Group and four villagers from Grayhill Village. They were either struggling to chop at the heavy wooden swords in front of the wooden stakes, parrying attacks from each other, or jumping and running.

— Some villagers have already started training on their own initiative.

Don Quixote's gaze was mainly fixed on the four villagers of Grayhill who were training slowly and clumsily, and he nodded with satisfaction.

He glanced at it a few times before smiling and saying to Rodney, "Sir Rodney, this is a training ground I just built."

"I wonder if you'd be interested in arranging for some of my men to have a contest."

"Of course, we'll use wooden or blunt objects that won't cause any harm to compete."
