From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 21 Privileges (for further reading)

Ryan stood up with a "squeak" and couldn't contain his excitement.

It seems that this privilege is not very conspicuous. After all, as long as there is money, soldiers can be recruited anywhere, and there are many wandering knights.

However, the focus here is on active duty!In other words, Ryan can recruit in his fifth battalion. They are all young, strong and experienced professional soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is much stronger than those recruited militiamen.

It is no exaggeration to say that hundreds of people can be used as thousands of people.

Moreover, there are many middle and low-level officers with excellent military qualities in the army.

For example, Allen, his military quality is very good, whether it is his own moral character or training soldiers, or commanding the army, forming troops, it is easy to do.

Although other people are not as good as Allen, there are also many grassroots officers like Ham who have online command quality. As long as there are enough qualified grassroots officers, Ryan can pull up a usable army in a short period of time!

These are nothing to the big nobles, but they are perfect for a family like Ryan who lacks foundation.

"So, Your Excellency, Viscount, can I directly enlist in the Legion? What is the quota?" Ryan asked impatiently.

"Of course, the war is coming to an end, as long as you don't take away some of my battalion commanders."

Cheers made a rare joke, then glanced at the parchment in his hand and said: "Well...you can recruit 200 people, the premise is voluntary. And, you have to know, although there are only 200 people, but You may not be able to recruit enough.

Because your territory must be on the border, and the soldiers who accepted your enlistment have withdrawn from the kingdom's army since accepting your enlistment.

In other words, until they retire or die in battle, you will be fully responsible for everything about them, including salaries that are not lower than the kingdom's standard, pensions, compensation, etc., which is a huge expense.

And most soldiers will also ask to relocate their families to your territory, which is a lot of money.But don't worry, I can lend you the money. "

Ryan quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't bother Your Excellency, the Viscount. Although the Black family has a shallow background, it still has a little meager assets accumulated by three generations. There should be no problem."

What a joke, if you borrowed Chelsea's money, you can't solve it by paying back the money. That's a big favor.

Although Ryan is very heartbroken about this expenditure, he still adheres to one sentence, things that can be solved with money are nothing, the most difficult debt of favor!
"Oh, that's really a pity. Well, you go to prepare, you have three days, when the time comes, lead the team to escort the resources back to the North Wind Fortress, and you can go straight back to the capital!"

Chelsea waved his hand, indicating that Ryan could go to work.

Ryan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind: "Your Excellency, Viscount, I would like to ask, what do you plan to do with the soldiers in the legion who cannot return to the battlefield due to physical disabilities?"

This question made Cheers a little puzzled, and he said as a matter of course: "Of course it is a compensation, and then it will be treated as a discharge. How could you ask such a question?"

Ryan rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Then can I recruit these soldiers who are about to retire? I mean the recruitment that doesn't take up those places."

Chelston knew his small plan at once, couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said: "You are really shrewd, although those soldiers are physically disabled, they have rich combat experience, which is really important for your future army building. helpful.

I can’t control you about this matter. They are free after they leave the army, and they are free to go wherever they want. This is also a good thing for them. They are all warriors who bleed for the kingdom. Don’t treat them harshly.

You go to choose, choose and submit the list, and I will approve them to be discharged one month in advance. "

Ryan was slightly moved. Cheers had been taking good care of him and provided him with a lot of convenience during this period. Although this was just an investment, Ryan really owed favors, and he had to pay back when he had the chance.

Coming out of Chelsea's castle, Ryan went to Eisen's residence immediately. He was a bit ambitious and wanted to invite this great god back.

Eisen seemed to know that he would come, and opened the door long ago to wait for him. Before he could greet him, Eisen said that he would stay in the north and not go anywhere, and instantly blocked Ryan's words in his throat.

"Teacher, in the bitter cold of the Northland, you..."

"What, do you think I'm old? Don't talk about it, the agreement between you and me is still valid. When you have the confidence to defeat me one day, come find me in the North Wind Fortress.

By the way, when I go back this time, you bring me something back and give it to my son with your own hands. Eisen stared, handed a package to Ryan, and attached his home address.

Ryan didn't like Eisen's way of speaking, because it always made him feel like he was explaining the funeral.

Taking the package solemnly, Ryan knelt on the ground with a "plop", kowtowed heavily and said, "Take care, I will challenge you again in the fall of next year."

Eisen closed his eyes and said coldly, "I'll wait."

……

Ryan's next stop was Alan's residence. In the entire legion, there were only two people he wanted to recruit most, one was Eisen and the other was Alan.

Allen was a little surprised seeing his arrival, and after inviting him into the house, Ryan told him everything Chelsea had said, and formally issued the invitation: "Knight Allen, if you accept my recruitment, then I will I will give you a manor, if my title can go further, then I will give you the title."

Ryan knew very well how tempting the fiefdom and title were to a down-and-out nobleman, and he felt that winning Allen should be a sure thing.

Who knew, Alan actually refused after struggling and hesitating!
Ryan looked at him in surprise, not knowing why he made such a choice.

Allen sighed and said, "You should remember what the Viscount said last time, right?"

"You mean, the person who shot down your meritorious deeds?" Ryan frowned, and this matter had to be talked about a few months ago.

At that time, Viscount Cheers reported Ryan and Allen as the first meritorious service, but it didn't take long for the king to reply that Allen's meritorious service was doubtful and would not be counted.

For this matter, Ryan went to Chelsea to ask for an explanation, and the final answer was: "The other party is very powerful, even the Marton family is much inferior to him, Alan offended a big man, and the title is impossible It's gone."

At that time, Ryan found that Allen's expression was very calm. Although he was very unwilling, he didn't make a big fuss.Originally thought that Allen was frightened and realized the reality.

Now it seems that you are not the case.

"You, really offended that big man? Do you know his identity?" Ryan asked solemnly, staring into Allen's eyes.

"That's right, Lei, I know who that person is, and because I know, I can't accept your recruitment, otherwise you will be implicated as well."
