Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 277 Mountain Knights

After several months of activities, Magellan Knight, Chief of the Guards, recruited guards from outside and expanded the guard team to 5000.

Among them, 4000 people were stationed at the city gates, and a military area was planned near each city gate, with [-] guards and several knights allocated.

The remaining [-] guards are stationed in some important facilities in the city, such as Pompeii Castle, City Hall and so on.

These guards are now veterans and recruits. The veterans are naturally capable, but the recruits are a bit unsatisfactory.

But such a simple thing as standing guard can be done, and it looks decent.

When Luther and his party entered Pompeii from the northern city gate, the old guards saw the coat of arms of Pompeii's family, and then saw Mickey, Williams and other eight guarding knights.

Then he knew who was coming, so he greeted the recruits, bowed down in line and saluted: "Your Excellency."

Luther in the carriage waved to the leading guard through the glass on the window, but did not get down.

But that was enough to get the guard excited.

He looked more serious, with his head held high.

When the team entered the city wall, Luther felt a little familiar.Ahead is a straight main road leading to the center of the city, but apart from the military area seen just after entering the city gate, there are no buildings on both sides of the road.

In the original plan, this will be a medium-sized city with a population of about [-].

But before Luther left, the population of the city plus guards, male and female servants, etc. was only about 3. Even if the guards were recruited during this period and some residents moved in, the maximum number would be [-].

A medium-sized city with a population of 10 is planned to live in only about 3 people, and most of the population is concentrated in the old urban areas and industrial parks in the south. Of course, the northern part is empty.

But the empty place has been leveled and tidied up, ready to start building houses.

The biggest difference inside the city is that in the east of the main road in the northern city, a castle stands, which is much larger than the original Pompeii castle.

It is square and surrounded by city walls. The height of the castle walls is a little lower than that of the city walls, and the walls are also covered with military facilities such as arrow towers.

Two doors were opened on the four walls next to the main road. Two flags were hung on the wall at the door, and a four-peak peak was embroidered on the flag.

This is the emblem of the Knights of the Mountain.

The main body of the castle stands among the four walls.

When Luther saw the castle, he knew it was the residence of his father's Knights of the Mountains.This is a very important military installation.

The Earl of Libya, the Duke of Ferger, the royal family, these huge forces all have their own knights.

They have arranged knights in important cities.Because although there are many guards, they are responsible for standing guard, patrolling, maintaining law and order, etc. Knights are the important combat power.

And the Knights are even more combat power.

Compared with the family guard knights, the members of these knights are the elite knights who have been battle-tested.

Because the guard knights of the family have rest time every day and have frequent holidays.

But these members of the knight order are on call around the clock, and only have one month of vacation every year.

It is almost the difference between the motley army and the regular army.

And now Pompeii has its own knight order, the Knights of the Mountains.

Of course, because of the hard work and formality, the wages of these knights are higher than that of ordinary guard knights.

But the people in this castle are not only knights, but also a small number of guards, who are responsible for guarding the gate and logistics.

"Go and have a look." Luther said to the coachman.So, the team slowly arrived at the gate of the castle.

"Who is it?" The guards on the castle seemed to be recruits. They didn't know Mickey, Williams and the other eight guards.

"The one in the carriage is the governor of Pompeii, the Lutheran knight." Mickey, Williams steered forward and shouted.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask the general for instructions." The recruit didn't let Luther in after hearing the words, but said something, turned around and went down the city wall.

Mickey, Williams and the other eight guard knights, including half-baked Luther, all know a little about military affairs, so they were not dissatisfied with the guard, but rather appreciated it.

"Dad is really not boasting for nothing. The army is very strict." Sitting in the carriage, Luther couldn't help but praise.

"During my father's time, although the prestige and strength of the Pompeii knights were not as good as those of Gandor and Wilson, they were brave in battle and good at leading troops. Now he is in charge of the knights, and of course he is also very powerful. But you, the next generation of Pompeii knights, are not as good. A lot."

Miss Alice was opposite Luther, lying half-lying with her legs bent, revealing her smooth calves and half of her thighs, with a lazy expression.

In retaliation, Luther fiercely glanced at the parts he shouldn't have looked at.

The gaze was so aggressive that even Miss Alice couldn't bear it, so she sat up quickly, her legs were close together, and the lady sat.

Not long after, the castle door opened.A troop of guards came out in a single file and lined up separately.

"Lord Governor."

The guards held their heads high and said loudly.

Luther waved to them from inside the carriage, and then entered the castle.There are some military buildings inside the castle, such as stables, blacksmith shops, guard residences, etc., and the others are flat land.

This arrangement facilitates military operations.

After arriving at the main body of the castle, Luther got out of the carriage and asked Alice, Mickey Williams and others to wait outside. He walked in by himself and asked the guard, "Take me to see General Qun Shan."

"Yes."

The guard nodded and led the way.

The main body of the castle is very large and tall, with an estimated two to three hundred rooms.There were already many knights in the castle. They were very curious to see Luther, but the knights were very familiar with Luther Pompeii, so they could guess Luther's identity after a little guessing.

So they nodded respectfully to Luther.

In response, Luther nodded one by one.Not long after, the guards brought Luther to the basement.

That's right, old Saul's office is in the basement.

Luther also understood this.In order to prevent one's own mastermind from being killed on a fixed-point basis, the general's office in the general knight order's resident is located in the basement.

The office is still specially reinforced, the surface is covered with runes, and the lighting fixtures are also magical creations.

The layout of the office is very simple, a large table, a few chairs, and a large bookcase, with some maps on the table.

Old Sol came to the door without waiting for Luther to come in, then hugged Luther, and said with a little pride: "Luther, I have heard that you have successfully ruled in Silver Wing, I am proud of you .”

"If those clowns can't take it down, I'll just wipe my neck and kill myself." Luther rolled his eyes, not feeling proud at all.

"You kid is really losing face to Dad more and more." Old Sol said in pain.

I haven't seen my son for several months, so I gave him a loving hug and complimented my son, but I didn't expect to get such a response.

Sad reminder.

"How many people have the Knights recruited now?" Luther didn't get tired of his father, sat down in front of a chair, and then raised his head and asked.

It's meaningless to be tired of daddy, and she's not a beauty.

The matter of the Knights is the important thing.
