In the morning, it just rained a little.
The sky is still foggy, and the surrounding humidity is also very heavy.
However, the soldiers on the city wall still performed their duties, meticulously watching the situation around the territory.
Continuous duty for many days has made most soldiers physically and mentally exhausted.
Fortunately, today, there will be a new source of soldiers to replace their inspection missions, so that they can all have a good rest.
No, Catherine, the soldier captain, has already arrived at the top of the city wall with a large group of troops behind her.
"From today onwards, you and your team will be responsible for the morning patrol above the city wall, and another team of soldiers will come to exchange with you in the evening."
Catherine said to Driss next to her.
"Okay, I understand, Captain." Driss replied seriously.
"I just took this opportunity to let you get acquainted with how to patrol. Of course, I believe that some of you have experience in patrolling, but I must introduce the patrolling method of our Eagle Fort."
After walking through the continuous stairs, Catherine led the crowd to the city wall.
The wind blew through their hair, taking away bursts of dampness.
Looking at the endless grassland in the distance and the forest at the end, it is as peaceful and beautiful as an oil painting.
Catherine said: "This is the south side of our castle, don't be deceived by the scene in front of you, there are orcs and extraordinary beasts in the forest in the distance from time to time, and this is the first place you pay attention to."
Driss nodded and said, "Okay, Captain."
He silently recorded it in his heart, planning to focus on observing this area in the future.
After Catherine finished speaking, she continued to lead the crowd to walk above the city wall.
When she came to a battlement, she said, "By the way, there should be archers among you, right?"
Driss said, "Yes, Master Chief."
"Very well, then let me introduce this battlement. Two archers are required to be on duty here. At critical moments, you can also ring the alarm bell above to warn the people in the castle."
"Understood, Master Chief."
Seeing that the other party already understood the usefulness of the battlements, Catherine continued to move forward, leading everyone to the other side of the city wall.
The bottom here is facing the direction of Maike Village, which can be regarded as the location of the city gate.
"This is the main gate of the castle. Normally, it will not be opened if there is nothing to do, but if there are transport teams and messengers coming, you must pull the winch in front of you to open the gate below."
Dries was naturally aware of the use of the winch, but he was a little puzzled. Is there still a transport team in the southern area intercepted by Manvila
Unable to understand, he asked Catherine, "Master Chief, I will understand how to use the winch, but what is this transport team for?"
Catherine showed a proud expression when she heard the words, and said, "This is what you don't know. The transport team I mentioned just now is not a caravan transport team, but a transport team spontaneously constructed by our territories."
"We can exchange the food produced between the various territories, so that our subjects will not be trapped in a single food or lack of food."
Driss suddenly realized: "That's how it is."
He didn't expect these nobles in the south to independently develop this peculiar business model, and he couldn't help showing a hint of admiration.
"Well, the city gate also needs to be guarded by a certain number of people. You can decide for yourself."
With that said, Catherine led them to the next city wall.
Just stop and go like this, constantly introducing, until noon, all the situation was explained.
"Very well, the basic situation is like this."
As she spoke, Catherine called the captain of the inspection team on the city wall over.
"Maud."
"Yes, Captain." A middle-aged soldier in armor ran over.
"Let me introduce, this is the captain who will be in charge of the morning inspection team, Driss."
"Here is the captain of the inspection team, Maude."
After Catherine's introduction, both of them greeted each other.
Afterwards, Catherine finally ordered: "Driss, from now on your team will assist Maude's team in the morning patrol mission, and you will not be able to fully take charge of the morning patrol until you are fully familiar with it, do you understand?"
"Understood, Master Chief."
"Very well, Maude, from now on your team will lead Driss on the morning patrol, and you can hand over the patrol task to them only when you think they are up to the task, do you understand?"
"Understood, Master Chief."
Seeing that both of them were clear about their responsibilities, Catherine was also ready to leave and do other things.
Before leaving, he finally asked: "Deris, this is your team's first mission, so be sure to grasp it well."
"Yes, Master Chief." Dries shouted loudly.
"Then, Mr. Dries, please come with me."
After Catherine left, Maude spoke first.
"Okay, Lord Maude will lead the way." Driss also said very respectfully.
The two and the team behind them came to the city wall on the south side.
"This is the key area for our inspection team to inspect. Basically, a group of five will conduct cross inspections. At the same time, two archers will be required to be on duty at the battlements."
Driss nodded and said, "Thank you for the explanation, I will arrange personnel here."
Immediately, twelve people were selected by him, two surrendered soldiers who were originally archers, and the remaining eight surrendered soldiers who were relatively healthy.
Although Maude didn't speak, the expression in his eyes has already expressed his thoughts.
It is very dissatisfied with the ten selected personnel, but due to Catherine's order, it is hard to say much.
Driss explained from the side: "I didn't have enough food supplements before, so I have this situation. Don't worry, you just need to wait for a while, and I will return to my original body."
After listening to Dries' explanation, Maud just loosened his frowning brows.
He ordered the patrolling soldiers under him to start teaching these surrendered soldiers.
Afterwards, he led the rest of the crowd to the city wall on the other side.
Looking at the Maike Village below, Maude said: "I think the Master Chief should have mentioned to you about when the city gate will be opened?"
"Yes, I have already remembered it in my heart."
Moder continued to speak: "Very well, then I won't say much more. The personnel inspection here is similar to that just now, but in terms of the number of people, it has been reduced from a group of five to a group of three."
Driss expressed his understanding, and quickly selected eight soldiers from the rear.
This time, Maude didn't show much expression, he just asked the guarding soldiers to lead the eight people to familiarize themselves with the situation, and then led them away from the east wall to arrange arrangements for other walls.
