Starting Life as a Baron - Chapter 35: Selecting warriors for the Sea Cavalry

Selecting warriors for the Sea Cavalry

Looking at the warriors with determined faces, Alan smiled.

“My warriors, I have gathered everyone today for a very important matter.”

“All of you are my elite soldiers, the only force protecting Rose Town. After the battle with the pirates, everyone should know that our enemies are not only on land but also on the sea.”

“I’m not the type of person who likes to be beaten passively. Instead, I like to take the initiative to attack. I like to beat others and rob them.”

“I don’t think I need to say anything about the identity of those pirates, do I? Those guys are the people of a principality on the sea. They actually robbed me, Alan. Do they really think I’m easy to bully?!”

“I believe in many principles. One of them is called tooth for tooth, blood for blood!”

“Since they dare to attack my site, I also dare to bring people to snatch their belongings. Warriors, are you willing to follow me?!”

Alan cursed. He was completely lacking his usual graceful demeanor and noble etiquette.

This caused all the soldiers’ eyes to widen. They didn’t dare to believe that their Lord actually had such a side. However, they also felt a sense of familiarity when they saw that their lord disregarded the etiquette and cursed.

What’s more, Alan’s words got their approval. Everyone was human. Since those bastards from the Blue Moon Principality could sneak attack Rose Town, why couldn’t they sneak attack as well?

“But, warriors, there’s a problem we must face, and that’s what I’m going to talk about today. We need sea troops.”

“However, we don’t have a ship at the moment, so we can only think of something else.”

Alan pointed in the direction of the sea. “Shipbuilding is too slow. Even if we do have a ship, we don’t have sailors. We can’t control the ship perfectly, let alone sneak attack the Blue Moon Principality.”

“But I thought of another method.”

Alan snapped his fingers and soon, everyone saw twenty white sea lion beasts appear on the calm sea.

“The sea lion beasts are our most loyal friends. I need twenty warriors to fight side by side with our friends. These twenty warriors will train with the sea lion beasts from now on and they will conquer the sea with the sea lion beasts.”

“These twenty men will be the first batch of my Sea Cavalry.”

“In the future, these twenty people will become an independent combat unit and enjoy higher treatment and higher honor.”

Alan spoke in a calm tone.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the seventy warriors in front of him revealed excited expressions.

Alan’s words had moved them.

Whether it was the fact that the sea cavalry could be partnered with magical beasts or the sea cavalry could get better treatment and more glory, these things had moved their hearts.

As a warrior, they naturally desired more power and honor.

However, they didn’t have battle Qi or magic and they could only rely on their own physical strength, which caused their desire for extraordinary power to become a dream.

However, their Lord actually gave them a chance to be companions with the magical beasts. They could even control the magical beasts and conquer the sea.

How glorious and awe-inspiring was this!

Everyone present was moved.

Not to mention those warriors, even Marco was moved.

“Right now, we need to pick out twenty warriors who are proficient in swimming. At the same time, they must be the strongest warriors. Only the strongest can have the highest glory. ”

Alan’s words caused the soldiers to become excited.

Alan cut to the chase and directly let Marco host a competition among all the people who were willing to join the Sea Cavalry.

Alan and Marco were going to select the last twenty warriors to serve as the first sea cavalry.

“Is there anyone who would like to participate in the big competition?”

When Marco asked the warriors, all seventy people stood up.

“Heh, little brats, do all of them want to join the sea cavalry? Are they strong enough?”

Marco cursed as he quickly arranged the competition.

There were two events in this competition. One was the strength of the martial arts and the other was the ability to swim.

The competition lasted for an entire day before Alan and Marco selected the twenty people that they thought were the most suitable.

“Now, the person whose name I read will come forward.”

As soon as people were selected, Marco began to announce their names.

“Bill! Ross! …”

One name after another appeared in Marco’s mouth.

Some of the warriors were happy, and some were disappointed.

After the names of these twenty people were announced, the other people who had not been selected were filled with envy.

The ones who were selected were like roosters who won a battle. Their faces were full of pride.

“Alright, everyone, there’s no need to be disappointed. They’re just our first batch of sea cavalries. There will be a second and a third batch in the future. Apart from the sea cavalries, you will also have other options. Believe me, you still have many opportunities in the future. What you need to do now is to train yourself harder and wait for the second opportunity instead of being disappointed.”

Alan said loudly, and his words made the eyes of the other fifty warriors light up.

Soon, Alan went back to have a good rest and told the selected twenty people to report outside the castle tomorrow morning.
