After a while, Reyn took two sets of soldiers uniforms from the space menu, one with a cloth hat, the other with a helmet, and a few pairs of military boots. Then, think again, he also took a Kelvet vest, one more helmet and an M9 Bayonet Knife.
Opening his eyes, Reyn found himself back in the castle's bedroom still looking the same as if nothing had happened. Without a clock watch, he didn't know how much time he had gone.
Reyn looked at the clothes on the bed, he felt that all this won't be enough, after all, there were dozens or more of bandits in wait to invade BlackWater. The smartest thing to do right now would be to fortify all his forces with some rifles.
Having decided this, Reyn again invokes the weapon menu list and look around for a bit, after a while, he narrows down his choices to two.
Name: AK-47
Class: Rifles
Ammunition/Capacity: 30/90
Reload time: 2.43s
Movement Speed: 215 units/s
Firing mode: Automatic
--
Name: M4A4
Class: Rifles
Ammunition/Capacity: 30/90
Reload time: 2.7s
Movement Speed: 225 units/s
Firing mode: Automatic
Thinking for a moment he decides to take 20 of each. He don't how each weapon would be best for this situation, so he choose ones that are known to have the best-balanced specs.
'So why, I don't take the heavy weapons for this situation?' Reyn had thought to put the heaviest weapons out, but he quickly dismissed the idea. Taking that out right now and arming his forces is like giving a weapon to a kid.
'Well, it's not like they know how to use a rifle too!' Reyn then decides to take out 20 M9 pistols and 20 M9 Bayonet Knife, he planned to make them comfortable with small-calibre weapons before putting them with a higher one.
Time is tight, the Red Claw Bandits may invade Black Water territory at any time now, so it must be arranged early to train his force.
"Sigh, From hopelessness to glory" Reyn sighed
Now he felt more relaxed, the bandits wouldn't be a problem anymore once he had his forces armed and loaded, at most, they would be the first test target of his force.
"Matter of fact, my life starts now... Humm maybe tomorrow, it getting late" - Looking out of the window, Reyn could see the sun slowly resting on the horizon, so he didn't take the weapons out yet. After the event of this day, it would be strange for him to come out with a strange weapon, so he prepare to end his day.
"Uhmm" Sundenlly Reyn felt his body getting heavier, like if he had overworked every part of his being.
"Did I overdo it," Reyn felt his body losing strength with each breath he take. Barely being able to drag his body he move close to his bed and fell like a look deep into sleep.
------------------------------
The next day.
Reyn by now felt his spirit much better, but the sensation of overdoing still linger. He couldn't pinpoint where this sensation come from, but he could still associate it with his yesterday. Because of this, he decides to tread it more carefully and try not to use it to the extreme if the situation doesn't seem desperate
"Sir, your breakfast is read" - Dohnal pushes the black curtain
that covered the door as he announced.
"Oh thanks, Right on time, I'm starving" As always Dohnal as if having an internal clock, he could always know the right time for Reyn to eat, after all, Dohnal was been serving him for decades. For most of Reyn memories, Dohnal has been a heavy presence among all of it, being him joyful moments or unpleasant ones, it could even be said that Dohnal has a heavier influence on him than his parents.
Dohnal couldn't help but notice the light mood that Reyn had today.
"It's my pleasure Sir" Dohnal politely replied, at the same time he couldn't help to cast a confused gaze on the room corner. There lay a stack of well-crafted brand new shined knives that looked more sharped than the swords of NorthSeet Knight. But what made him more confused was what was closed to the knives stack.
'Metal rod' Dohnal couldn't help but associate the firearms with a metal rod.
'Where did it come from?' Dohnal found it strange as nothing couldn't enter the lord room without him knowing about it.
He cast his eyes on Reyn as he saw him enjoying his food more than lately. Then he decide to hold his curiosity until Reyn talked about it.
"Let Thorris see in my office right away" Reyn glanced at Dohnal and said while finishing devouring the food.
"Yes, sir!" After hearing the command, Dohnal left.

----
Behind The Black Water Castle, there is a largely empty place.
Next to the empty place, a large row of low houses and a large stable were built. It was originally the lord's private ranch, which was converted into a training ground when Reyn arrived earlier this year.
The houses around the training ground were the residences of Captain Thorris and his ten knight's trainee.
The eleven men belong to the Standing Armed Forces of black Water. As for the dozens of militiamen, they were the BlackWater serfs temporarily recruited from within the territory, all of whom had their fields and families.
The serfs were required to work three days a week for the lords, and because they were recruited to become militiamen, they were no longer obligated to pay full taxes.
Around now It's was time to gather for training.
Above the training ground, dozens of serfs lined up in a not-so-neat square, carrying wooden spears and practising skirmish combat under the command of Knight Thorris.
Knight Thorris looked around with deeply frowned eyebrows. The Red Claw Bandits, who could invade Black Water at any time, had ten trainee knights on their hands, and he was sent around the territory.
These serfs, who come to the training ground to training is like they are doing some light way exercise, it is impossible to expect for a group of people who can not even eat enough to train hard to defend the territory and fight to kill the enemy. But what can be done?
Morris knows this better than anyone else.
There are currently not enough strong man Black Water, and the standing armed force are only ten trainee knights in addition to him. Once faced with a vicious gang of bandits, only by their eleven people is not enough, so they can only train a group of serfs to try having the advantage of numbers. Thorris doesn't expect them to do much, he just needs that those weak serfs to be able to hold on to a spear to keep the defence in shape.
This time in the face of the Red Claw Bandits, there is no chance of victory.
But as the knight of Black Water, his life was deeply tied to the territory.
Others can escape, but he can't.
As an almost Professional knight who has pledged loyalty to Baron Reyn, as long as the Lord does not surrender, he will die battle to the end, even if the power gap is desperate!
That is the honour and loyalty of knights.
Although it was been a long time since he graduated from the Noa Knight Academy e could not forget the ethics of Knights.
"Mr. Thorris!" Suddenly, Thorris heard someone calling him. He turned his head and found it was small of the servant of the castle.
"Mr, The Lord, there is an urgent matter to talk to you!" ”
"I'll be right there!" - Thorris.
..................
"Sir! " Reyn waited in his office for less than an hour, and Thorris came.
"Sit down!" Reyn waved his hand and motioned Thorris to find a place to sit down.
Reyn didn't eminently start talking, as he was motioning Dohnal to pour them a cup of wine.
"Mr Thorris, I'm sorry to call you in such a hurry, but I have a very significant matter to discuss with you." ” Reyn took a gently sip of wine and said.
"What's the matter!" - Thorris
Reyn smiled and said, "Help me pick ten people, loyal people."
"Sir, may I ask you why?" - Thorris had detected a little hided meaning of the lord request. So he asked back suddenly.
"I want to train a group of special force, as soon as possible to deal with the Red Claw Bandits!"
"Special Forces?" - Thorris was a little throwback, normally special forces refer to spy or some kind of information organization built by the lord. But the Black Water was so poor that barely had enough strength to defend itself, so where were they spared manpower to do other things?
Reyn could see the confusion write all over Thorris face.
"Dohnal what I asked of was been complete." Instead of answering Thorris confusion right away, Reyn sits up and turn to Dohnal.
"Sir, yes, the things have been moved and the place has just finished being cleaned." - Dohnal.
"Great, come with me Thorris" Reyn after earing the Dohnal response proceed to signal Thorris to follow him.
So the three of them went all down to the bottom of the castle. Where was the dungeon.
The Black Water dungeon was a place so deep into the castle that even the weepings of the graved soul wouldn't escape.
Wet, there's was no soul here, a matter of fact there was been decades since any soul was locked in were, so to not waste some good space it was converted into storage.
"Sir, we arrived "Reyn slowly enters here accompanied by Dohnal in the front as showed the way, in his back was Thorris.
"Yes, continuing what I was saying Thorris" - Reyn turned to Thorris as they have arrived at one of the dungeon corners.
"I need 10 loyal men. in preference they must be strong too, I have a special weapon here"
"Special? what kind of weapon" - Thorris asked in confusion as his eyes were drawn to where Reyn was pointing.
"Humm, how do I put it?" Reyn was trying to come up with a word to descript it.
"It was like some kind of crossbows type, in fact, it was more powerful than crossbows that it is called a Firearm" - Reyn
"Crossbows, Firearm" - Thorris and Dohnal frowned.
Crossbows are regulated weapons in the Noah Kingdon, not everybody is allowed to own them, because it is easy to use that even a small serf could sneakily kill a Profession Knight. But now the Black Water Lord Reyn was saying that he have something more powerful.
"Lord, can I try it?" - Thorris put his hands down trembling and looked at Reyn in a state of restlessness, and asked.
Reyn shrugged, "Of course!"
Seeing the stack of weapons, Thorris went uncontrolled to the corner, and he picked up an AK-47 rifle and tried to manipulate it a few times. But the aspect of a firearm was completely unknown to him.
"Oh let me guide you" - Reyn get closed to Thorris and started explaining how the weapon work.
"Click... Just like that you aim and press the trigger" Reyn after a series of instructions, he had shown Thorris how to stand, hold and use the weapon.
"Thank you, Lord!" Thorris hurriedly thanked Reyn and start emitting him.
"Good, now try it at the dummy," Reyn said as he point to the wooden dummy that he had prepared.
"Click... " After Thorris tried only a click sound came out of the rifle.
"Oh, I forgot the bullet, this weapon neet a special type of arrows so to say... ok try it now, but be careful" - Reyn had decided to take all the bullets from the weapon so that he could avoid any accident before educating his personnel.
"Ok" Aging Thorris had prepared his stance, aim and was prepared to shoot.
"BANG" - As the weapon was fired, a piercing noise rang throughout the dungeon.
"Gasp" Thorris was surprised loud noise but years so honing himself made him quickly come back to himself, but he couldn't help but gasp at the sigh of the wooden dummy
Although the bullet didn't pass through the wooden dummy, but his left lower corner was barely considered part of its body as it swing back and forth.
