Chương 299: Chapter 7 Militia and Warhorses_2

It was precisely because he knew ordinary people didn't have the courage to fight fierce beasts in close combat that Winters trained the militia to use spears—the hunting tool of ancient ancestors.

What caused Winters even more headaches was the undisguised hostility emanating from those two Protestant villages.

Honestly, before Gerard had mentioned them, Winters hadn't even been aware that Wolf Town had two Protestant villages under its jurisdiction.

The Protestants neither attended the Sunday service nor had much interaction with the other three villages.

In Winters' view, Wolf Town was already remote and secluded, yet within the edges of this civilized world, the Protestants had formed an even more closed-off and isolated community.

In the other villages, it was sufficient for Mayor Gerard to read the appointment letter once for the introduction to be complete. The villagers naturally accepted the new Garrison Officer.
