Training

[Mission: Train the troops]

[Reward: +80% village defense efficacy. +1 to all stats for the troops per day of training]

Roan woke up the troops early in the morning and assembled them. They have weapons and shields but they lacked the experience. Even the guard captain was just a militia all his life. He was just a conscripted soldier.

Roan then decided to train them all. Roan didn't know when will the monsters would appear once again.

As he watched in the towers, he saw the obelisk of evil which the watchtower guard said spawns monsters. Weak goblins or their captains Hobgoblins. Well, who knows? No one has discovered it yet. What he could only see was the glowing red that has a red aura that encompasses the crystal on the tip of the tower.

Roan then started to shout like a commandant.

"All soldiers! Assemble now! Move move move! Slow ones will get punished!"

They all stand up with their pride on the line. Moved towards the training ground and formed themselves.

"A round of jog ten times in the training ground! Push-ups! One hundred! Sit-ups! One hundred! Do you dare leave your comrades behind? Shame on you! You will all have to face me in the sparring lesson! Now move!" Joan said to them.

It was then, they all moved following his command. They all jogged ten times on the training ground and others were still tired of their battle. Making it a more exhausting process for them. A hundred push-ups went next and the others who can't cope were spanked with his stick on the butt. Pumping to one hundred also made them breathe hoarsely.

"Reflect on what you've done! The dead are dead. But you need to become stronger! And stronger, to defeat the enemy! Now all of you should grab your weapons! I will hammer this to your heads. You are all weak that your comrades died!" Roan lashed them with his words. Making them almost cry at their guilt.

Roan then grabbed a wooden sword and they all readied themselves to spar with him.

"All of you! Come here! Let out your anger and pour it into your weapons!" Roan shouted.

They all moved at him and Roan dashed towards them. While his weapon was still on his side, he drew it and smashed it to them and they were flung.

Ha!!!

With one slash, three were swatted away. Blocking with his weapon, the Rogues were agile enough to be on an equal footing with his feet. However, Roan was faster. His blows were also heavy enough to make their weapons thrown from their hands. Not being able to block his wooden sword with their daggers made it harder to look at.

The Berserkers and Warriors all combined their attacks. But still, Roan evaded their strikes and landed his blows toward them. Making them thrown one by one.

Archers were also joining in the fight. Roan slashed faster and faster when he made an onslaught on the conscripts. Footmen attacked but Roan battered them with his sword instead. They're not being able to land a hit on him made the tides fatally against them. They created chaos but chaos was Roan's friend.

They made a ramble and Roan was just like a snake, evading their strikes and getting out of their encirclement. Getting out of their group strikes and landed their attacks on others instead.

Roan swings his sword and they were all tossed upwards. They all charged at him but he made it to them first before they can approach him instead. Making them battered on the face with his fist.

"Coordinate your attacks! All are in a mess!" Roan shouted.

"Be more serious! Let out your all!" Roan said it to them but they did from the start. Making their efforts become like a joke to him.

They still tried to coordinate their attacks but Joan still slipped through to their attacks. As a slimy eel, he was like, he was hard to get caught up with their attacks.

The spearmen made a shield formation and Roan charged at their shields. Making them thrown over and others rolled instead.

"Have more strength in your arms! Don't let enemies get inside the formation or you're dead!" Roan yelled and smacked their butts.

Roan then trashed all of them. Making them battered up until they all went panting while lying on the ground. Beating them senseless until they passed out. Joan then turned around from them while hugging his wooden sword.

"All of you are dismissed! Now rest for the meantime. We will have lunch later on," Roan said to them.

"Tsk! They are still not ready." Roan clicked his tongue.

With it, Roan continued training them for several days. Raining or not, they were trained with his physical improvement and battle tactics as well as battle formations.

They trained for 1 week and they were having huge improvements. The spearmen have greater resilience and skirmishers throw javelins more accurately. The archers were doing target practice and they were able to hit the target within 25 yards.

The footmen were being one by one sparred with Roan as well as the heavy troops like the berserkers and warriors.

They all became different even in their attitude and were now very disciplined. Roan can only smile at their great progress.

He then made 1 team of patrols in the realm. Also one team for the hunters. Their food supply was diminishing.

Roan then trained hunters as well as their guards. Leaving some for the defenses of the village. As the village was now safe from goblins, he thought that they must focus on the food. Water was available but the food was scarce in these areas.

After 1 week, the herbs can now be harvested and Roan then made potions out of them. Brewing 3 potions of health, stamina, mana, paralyzing, and attractant potions. The Energized water was still taking its effects and was pretty effective.

Giving it all to the hunting team and then deploying them into the forest. Wishing them all good luck.

Giving +1 food per day in the village.
