Ambition Lord

Chapter 450 Marriage Invitation
Hearing Pandora's words, Jones said with a slightly complicated expression: "I have to admit, this Duke Chilong is indeed a genius, he has become an elemental knight at such an age!
In this point, I am indeed not as good as him, but if it is said that he can grow into a king, I really don't believe it!
You should know how difficult it is to give birth to a king, talent alone is not enough!Even the Blood Pluto, who was born as a mercenary, was not promoted by talent alone! "

Behind the birth of every king, in addition to unparalleled opportunities and talents, there is also a large accumulation of resources. Jones is pessimistic about Allen's promotion to the king!

"I think you just feel that other people are more talented than you, and you feel jealous!" Pandora said with her lips curled up.

Jones looked at her unbelieving eyes, smiled, and jokingly said: "Pandora, I am your brother, and now you are helping others?

I think you are interested in this Duke of Chilong. I heard that Duke of Chilong is not yet married. If you are interested, I will tell you about it when you return to the kingdom. "

When Pandora heard this, her face turned red, and she was ready to refute, but Jones said again: "Okay, okay! I was joking too, don't take it seriously, now we should hurry back to the kingdom and return to our mission as soon as possible, so as not to be preempted by the fourth brother! "

"Hmph!" Seeing Jones's smiling face, Pandora snorted dissatisfiedly, turned her head away, and stopped looking at him.

While speaking, the convoy had left Chilong City far away and disappeared to the east of the city.

……

February [-]st of the Chilong calendar.

It was just dawn, and outside the gate of Qingniao Town in the east of Huomai County, there were already a lot of people, and the number of people was still increasing, and people were constantly gathering from all directions.

People in the entire Blue Bird Town know that today is an extremely special day. It is the first recruitment of soldiers in the Principality since Duke Chilong established it.

So early in the morning, all walks of life and classes in the Principality, farmers, craftsmen, businessmen, officials, etc., all rushed over with their children, looking forward to passing the selection!

Seeing that outside the gate of Qingniao Town at this time, there was a lot of people surrounded, and the immature teenagers were dragged by their families and mixed among them.

A middle-aged man with bulging muscles and dark skin stood in front of the line holding a simple-faced black-faced boy in his hand.

"Kusis! If you can pass the selection this time, you will become a soldier of the Principality in the future, and you won't have to be a blacksmith like me in the future. You will be conferred with meritorious service and become a nobleman!" The middle-aged man said softly. Looking at his own son, he said.

"Father, don't worry!" Cusis clenched his hands tightly, with a confident face and hope in his eyes!

In the distance, a fat man dressed as a wealthy businessman squinted his eyes, sitting on a big chair, watching the grand occasion in front of him, a few guards stood behind him, and a chubby man stood beside the chair with a face full of tears. .

Keqi glanced at his son next to him, and said nonchalantly, "I'm telling you bastard, it won't be easy for anyone to come today!"

The little fat man didn't raise his head, secretly angry.

I think that although Keqi is well-known in Blue Bird Town, he has made some money by relying on the wine business, but outside of Blue Bird Town, Ke Qi is not a fart. live!
Now that the Principality has finally started the recruiting plan, how could he give up, even if he is not qualified, but he must send his son in, when the time comes, he will be conferred a title, become a nobleman, and his status will rise, so he will no longer have to be as busy as himself. After being busy, I worked hard day and night.Keqi sighed in his heart.

There are not many similar situations in the crowd. Due to the prestige of the Principality's army and the continuous propaganda of the Nine Offices, the people of the entire Principality are full of yearning for joining the army.

It's just that the official responsible for the recruitment has not yet arrived, so even if everyone couldn't wait, they could only secretly endure it.

Suddenly, I don't know who shouted in the crowd.

"Here we come! The recruiting adults are here!"

All of a sudden, the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent. They all stood on tiptoes, stretched their necks vigorously, and looked forward.

The first to rush into the crowd was a group of security guards in leather armor with swords hanging on their waists. After they entered the crowd, they roared loudly and pushed everyone back, widening an open space a few meters in front of the gate.

Accompanied by many officials from the household registration office in the town, a man in military uniform with sharp eyes and an intimidating power stepped forward to the crowd.

After seeing this sergeant of the principality who has experienced many battles, the whispering outside stopped.

A large table was moved and placed in front of everyone. The soldier sat down first, followed by two household registration officials behind the soldier, one in blue and the other in green. What they held in their hands was the entire area of ​​Cyan Bird Town. Age-appropriate junior roster.

Seeing that the crowd had already formed a long line under the hard work of the security guards, the two blue-clothed officials from the household registration office smiled and said to the sergeant: "Sergeant Muksa! Can the recruitment work start now?"

Mukesa was serious and nodded lightly.

He was originally a low-level knight of the Blue Desolate Knights, but now he is transferred to the Warrior Base. This time, the Principality has dispatched a group of instructors with knight strength from several major knight orders to be responsible for the training in the base.

This time he was sent here just to supervise and bring the recruited teenagers back to the reserve soldier base safely at the same time, and the specific recruiting work was done by the people from the household registration office.

"First! First!"

After receiving the reply, the blue-clothed official cleared his throat and shouted.

After all, the white-haired old man at the front of the line and the young man next to him were released by the security department.

The blue-clothed official at the household registration office took a look at the skinny young man and asked, "Where's the identity card? Take it out."

When the old man heard this, he quickly took out two wooden plaques from his pocket, and handed them over respectfully.

The identities of the two were recorded in detail on the two wooden signs.

The official in Qingyi quickly picked up the two wooden signs, stared at them for a while, and read: "Qingniao Town, Kewu, a villager in Lvfeng Village, was born in the 63rd year of the Chilong calendar, a direct family member... grandson Mudala, Occupation...Mdala, a villager in Green Wind Village, Qingniao Town, was born in the 12th year of the former Chilong calendar, a direct family member...Grandpa Kewu..."

The green-clothed official read it, while the blue-clothed official took the booklet in his hand and compared it. After confirming that the identity of the skinny boy Mudala was correct, he recorded his name and said to the anxious grandpa and grandson in front of him: "The first round of assessment Passed, please wait for the second round of assessment on the periphery!"

Upon hearing that they had passed the first round of assessment, the grandfather and grandson were naturally grateful, and took a jade plaque from the official in Tsing Yi with surprise on their faces, and walked out of the crowd. The first one passed the assessment, making the crowd behind Can't help but get excited!

"Okay! The next one..."

At this time, inside the Red Dragon Hall.

"Duke! This time the recruiting work has been fully launched, and the selection will be carried out in units of towns! I believe that it will not take long for [-] reserve soldiers to be recruited!" Antonio stood in the hall and respectfully said to Allen in the hall.

"Well!" Allen nodded, and the recruitment of reserve soldiers has officially started. Of course, in addition to the official recruitment of soldiers at the reserve soldier base, the naval academy that Allen has set up on Heyland Island has also started recruiting activities.

The navy is different from an army such as the Knights Corps, and the Red Dragon Principality has no experience in cultivating this area at all.

Therefore, Allen does not plan to recruit naval fighters on a large scale, but first recruits 500 people in Heilan Island, and conducts a small-scale attempt first, and then uses these 500 people as seeds to expand the size of the navy.

In order to solve the problem of teachers in the Naval Academy, Allen selected a group of experienced sailors from the two fleets of the Chilong Principality, as well as some retired old captains, and asked them to teach the recruits. A black dragon warship was also transferred by Allen to familiarize the soldiers with how to operate the principality's warships.

……

"My lord duke! This is... an invitation card!" Antonio did not leave after reporting, but took out an invitation card from his sleeve with a hesitant expression.

Allen frowned, looked at Antonio curiously, and motioned to Barton next to him.

Barton understood, walked over, took the invitation from Antonio, and handed it to the Duke.

Allen opened it, with a smile on his face, and said to Antonio: "This Duke really doesn't know that Barry is getting married!"

Then Allen took a reproachful look at Barton next to him. Barton and Barry are brothers, and he must be clear about this matter, but he didn't tell himself at all.

"I don't know whose lady it is?" Allen said again.

Antonio bowed respectfully and saluted, and said with a smile, "I tell you, the Duke! She is the younger sister of Viscount Quincy!"

"Quincy? Good! The Duke will definitely go there with a generous gift!" Allen smiled helplessly, not to mention Antonio's face, and took Barry as the chief of the Principality's Security Department and his squire knight for two o'clock See, he won't say no.

"The duke is serious! His presence is a great honor to the war!" Antonio's face beamed with joy, and he bowed again. Originally, he was very hesitant when he came to hand over the invitation. give face.

A few minutes later, looking at the back of Antonio's departure, Allen sighed, time passed so quickly, and he still remembered that Barry and Buttonbad became his own squire knights at the same time a few years ago.

But because Barry was the more alert among the three, and it coincided with a shortage of management personnel in the Nine Branches, Allen transferred him to the Security Department. Over the years, Barry has lived up to Allen's expectations, and managed the Security Department in an orderly manner. Maintain the law and order of the Principality.

Now two or three years have passed in a flash, and Barry is about to start a family!
Thinking about it, I think it's normal. After all, the three of Barry Buttonbad are over 20 years old, Director of Finance Cooley is also 19 years old, Andy is the oldest of the five at 22 years old, and Alan is already [-] years old. They're all old enough to start a family.

Especially Allen, if he hadn't been rejecting Mrs. Lisa's kindness, I believe he would have gotten married earlier than Barry.

　Recruitment time changed to after Harvest Festival
