A month passed in a flash. At the garrison camp of Westwood Laine Castle, the new recruits had completed their training.
They donned Cotton Armor and Chain Armor, wielding spears or swords, One-Handed Staffs or Nail Hammers, shields, Javelins, and other weapons. Fully armed, they looked formidable and majestic.
If Henry were to tell anyone that this was a group of new recruits, probably no one would believe him.
At this high standard of equipment, Henry's reserve armory could only outfit a few hundred more men.
His reserves were still insufficient. He needed more battles, more victories, to rapidly expand his arsenal by capturing spoils from the enemy.
This was far faster than slowly forging weapons and armor himself.
On this day, the army assembled outside the barracks for inspection, drawing the attention of numerous Free People and merchants.
