There were eight people riding horses surrounding Lucas's carriage for its protection. They were the War Wolves.
The War Wolves were fully armed. They each had a traverse blade on their waist and either a recurve bow or a military crossbow on their backs. They also had a few things in their backpacks.
The War Wolves' faces were painted with camouflage paint. They looked at the surroundings vigilantly, prepared to shoot anyone that would dare to charge toward the carriage.
Aiden saw that, and he whispered to Tony, "It seems like they've been made into proper soldiers."
Tony spat out the straw stick in his mouth and glanced at the War Wolves. "Young Master has invested so much money and time into them. If they were still trash, they should just go and work in a mine or they'll just make the Young Master lose face."
"Indeed!" Aiden said, nodding. His heart ached when he thought about all the supplies that had been used for the War Wolves.
The equipment a single War Wolf member used was worth several gold coins, enough to produce several fully equipped knights.
"How long will it take for the guys behind us to catch up? We can't let the Young Master wait too long." Tony said, looking at the city gate. They were just about to leave Sedona City.
"According to their training, they should catch up to us within 8 minutes." Aiden said calmly.
"Let's hope that they don't let Young Master down." Tony said, thinking about how the past 20 days were way better and way more exciting than his life in the past.
The war wolves escorted the carriage out of Sedona City, and about 8 minutes later, a group of about 100 people in 4 lines jogged out of Sedona City.
They were silent except for the sound of footsteps. They had serious expressions on their faces as they looked straight ahead. Today was the day that Lucas was going to test their abilities.
Their instructors told them that if they messed up this time and disgraced themselves, they would go through training with the new recruits the next year.
They couldn't afford to do that, after all, according to Instructor Aiden, new recruits were rookies that even had to be taught how to walk.
20 blade and shield soldiers were in the front. The shields that they carried were made with wood and steel leather, and they were as durable as the heavy armors.
Immediately behind them was the recurve bow team. The team was composed of hunters and citizens with good archery skills. Constantly shooting arrows had caused their arm muscles to grow thicker. The arrows that they had broken while training had piled up into a mountain. The recurve bow team was the team that could deal the most damage. They could kill a lot of enemies when protected by the blade and shield soldiers.
Then there were the spear soldiers. The spears had steel tips, and they could also coordinate with the blade and shield soldiers and attack together.
The next and most important soldiers were the cavalries. There were 20 knights, and they all wore light armor made from steel. They had a horse-cutting blade at their waists, a pike on their horses, and a military crossbow on their backs.
The mobility of the cavalries would allow them to quickly take out enemies. They could use horse-cutting blades when charging or throw their pikes when attacking from a short distance.
The last group of soldiers in the back were the heavy infantry soldiers. They had to stay in the back as their armors were too heavy and had to be pulled by carriages.
"Go faster! Go even faster!" Jack shouted as he struck the air with his whip, creating a loud exploding sound.
The group sped up even more. The cavalries were also jogging while dragging their horses along. None of the soldiers had it easy as all of them were carrying a lot of weight.
The area southwest of Sedona City had a suitable place to conduct a military drill. This place was also one of Lucas's targets.
While all these things were happening inside the carriage Lucas Bonner settled down after remembering the value of pie. He opened his eyes and looked down on his robes. He was still slightly hard but it can be hidden in the robes he was wearing.
Lucas also noticed that Mina's eyes started to open. She opened her eyes slightly while confused looking at Lucas then her face started to turn red as she remembered what Lucas and she had done in the carriage while people were outside. She still remembers the feeling before losing her consciousness; she was too embarrassed to ask Lucas about it.
Lucas, sensing her emotions, got up from his seat and sat with Mina. Mina quickly made some space between them. Seeing this Lucas smile he said in a gentle tone, "Mina are you alright? You are not feeling uncomfortable anywhere in your body, right?"
Mina slightly nodded her head and Lucas said, "You might be confused by what happened before losing consciousness." Mina again nodded her head while looking at the carriage floor.
"Mina the feeling you feel before passing out can only be felt with the person you love and if the person also loves you back." Lucas said as he raised Mina's head and looked into her eyes, "Do you understand what I mean, Mina?"
Mina stuttered, "That means young master love." She said while directly looking into Lucas' eyes.
Lucas nodded his head, "Yes Mina I love you." He said and again started to kiss and their kiss was interrupted by Aiden.
"Young Master, we've arrived." Aiden said as he stopped the carriage and knocked on the door of the carriage.
"En!" Lucas opened the carriage door as he pursed his slightly swollen lips. The corners of his mouth slightly lifted as he thought about how pleasant the day was.
Mina also came out of the carriage afterward with her cheeks red. Like Lucas, her lips were a bit swollen. She slightly lowered her head as she stood behind Lucas, pulling her collar from time to time. The red mark there was still making her body feel soft.
Aiden and Tony looked at Lucas and Mina oddly. They soon thought of something and tried to keep themselves from smiling as they quickly turned their heads and stood to the side.
"Cough cough…" Lucas shook off the enchanting scene in his mind and made a serious face. "How much longer until they arrive?"
"Young Master, they will probably take 8 minutes. They definitely won't take any longer than that." Aiden responded to Lucas' question.
Time was the most important thing in the military. The five brothers all received watches from Lucas, so they all kept track of time using seconds, minutes, and hours.
Lucas had been considering introducing seconds, minutes, and time to the people in Sedona City, but it will take a while and would probably have to start from the details, just like how the Shopping Mall had introduced the scales and other weighing utensils.
"Let the War Wolves go and prepare. Start as soon as they come. There isn't time for them to rest." Lucas said coldly.
"Understood!"
The War Wolves soon took something as they walked into the forest. The forest contained one of the most important things for the military drill.
"Young Master, will this plan work?" Mina asked, having returned to normal, except for her cheeks that were still a bit red. She knew what Lucas was going to do and was a bit worried.
"I'm just letting them see some blood first so they won't panic when they get in a real war." Lucas said. Strong armies weren't made from military drills. He was just letting the soldiers adapt for a bit. One of the most important things in wars was courage- soldiers couldn't back out in fear while on the battlefield.
If they couldn't even pass this drill, then he would have to change the training or even use some special means.
Eight minutes quickly passed, and the ground faintly vibrated. A group of about 100 people soon appeared within Lucas's line of sight.
The group of more than a hundred people combined with equipment and horses gave off an imposing impression. At the very least, the first impression they gave Lucas was that they weren't going to be too bad.
"Stop!" Aiden yelled with a wooden stick in his hand. "Start loading immediately. Immediately get into a battle state. You only have 3 minutes to prepare. If you don't want to die, then take this seriously."
