Chapter 359 Silver Eagle Guard ([-])

Li Sansi frowned, "The Duke also has full command of the army?"

"Strictly speaking," Shahara looked at Li Sansi, "this is not an army organized by the regular Eagle Empire. You know, in the past, the dukes had a private guard of no more than 8000 people. Right, until today's Eagle Empire, although this right has no meaning, it has never been abolished. Even the former Stoke family has a group of private guards, but the Duke Stoke family once ' Violet's personal guard did not have a large scale, and it only looked like three hundred people, and instead of supporting this group of troops that had no role in peacetime, it was better to use it for other purposes, so this guard was finally taken. The thrifty old Dukes of Stoke are disbanded."

Li Sansi nodded, "And then?"

"And the Duke of Humington has provided for this, so far, the largest private guard in the Eagle Empire. This guard has a total of [-] people, and it is called the 'Silver Eagle Guard'. The Duke, the personal guard of the war madman, and the Duke of Humington, originally controlled the railway transportation in the three southwestern provinces of the Eagle Empire, so we can know how amazing his wealth is, although this has never appeared on the Forbes celebrity list The name of the Duke, but his uncountable property will be shocking, after all, which private person can support such a huge guard!?"

An army capable of supporting 5000 people is indeed not as strong as the average. Li Sansi secretly clicked his tongue, "What is the Duke of Humington doing with this army? You want to say that a large multinational company has a total of 5000 employees. , It’s not surprising, these people are creating greater benefits and maintaining the operation of the enterprise. And this army in a peaceful age is completely dragging its feet?”

Shahara shook his head, "The Duke of Humington himself is a master who cannot suffer, how could he accompany Ben to support a lot of people who eat and drink for free? I can say that the people brought by this group The benefits are definitely no less than those 5000 employees of multinational corporations!"

Li Sansi was a little surprised, "You mean."

"That's right!" Sahara nodded, "Peaceful years are just a relative concept. There are still many wars in this world. In the past ten years from the beginning of this century to the present, there have been more than 3000 global wars. Of course , These wars are all in places we can't see, and this army exists for war, they are mercenaries!"

"What!" Li Sansi almost knocked his big teeth off, what's going on! ?A Duke of the Eagle Empire actually trained a mercenary army, "Does the empire allow such an army to march in and out from the Eagle Empire and travel around the world to fight for money!?"

"If the main force of this army is in the Eagle Empire, it is of course impossible, and it is impossible for the Queen to allow this army to exist under her feet, so this army has only 500 people from the Eagle Kingdom in the country, while the others, It is distributed abroad, and they all use people of other nationalities. It is impossible for the 500 people in the interior of the Eagle Empire to be sent out to fight, because they are all citizens of the Eagle Kingdom. If there are losses due to the war , will cause unnecessary trouble.”

Li Sansi nodded. There are many wonders in this world. Just such a Duke of Humington with an international mercenary army already knows that he has a great background.

"The most important thing is that this Duke of Humington is surprisingly vengeful, because after the Duke of Bamar inherited the family business in the early years, he competed with the Duke of Humington for the right to build and operate the railway in the west, and once fell out, the Duke of Humington He thinks highly of himself and cares about every detail, how could he give way to a rising star like the Duke of Stoke, the relationship between the two is just like that."

"In the end, who got the right to build and operate the Western Railway in the end!?" Li Sansi became interested. He still wanted to know something about Su Zixuan's father's early deeds and the national conditions of the Eagle Empire.

"Didn't you see it? If we get the right to operate the Western Railway, then what supports the entire Stoke family now is not the 'Goddess Heart', but two powerful pillars. It's a pity."

Li Sansi took a piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth, regretting together, if the Duke of Stoke won the right to build and operate the railway, maybe the current Su Zixuan would not have to marry because of the family's will, "Then why, Si The Duke of Tok didn’t get the right to build and operate the railway!?”

Shahara waved his hand, "I didn't want to mention these past events. Since you asked about it, brother Pikachu, I have no choice but to say it. Because the queen doesn't like the Duke of Stoke."

"Scary!" Li Sansi paused, "The Queen doesn't like the Duke of Stoke? How do you say that?"

"The Duke of Stoke was a famous prodigal son before he inherited the title of duke. The Duke of Stoke liked to play tricks on people. To be honest, even the old servant, I was played by the duke." Sha Hara thought of the past, and the face with the goatee was covered with years of weather, "Duke Bamar is a famous prodigal son, his unrestrained personality, even the Duke can't control him. In the royal family, the Duke Such a style and character of your lord is obviously not welcome, the Eagle Queen back then, of course, is also the current Eagle Queen, the name of Duke Bamar once resounded throughout the palace!"

Li Sansi felt that when the old butler said this, he became even more proud.

"Duke Bamar has excelled in swordsmanship since he was a child. In the Royal Fencing Competition, with a long sword, he defeated all the masters and won the fencing championship. He even made the two princesses crazy about his charm!"

Li Sansi thumped in his heart. At that time, the two princesses, the mothers of Mercedes and Ahmed, are now Princesses Anna and Princess Margrethe. With such a love history, it's no wonder the Queen doesn't like the Duke of Bamar. It's a great disaster for her own daughter to fall in love with this prodigal son, but Li Sansi didn't know that Su Zixuan's father was also a master of swordsmanship , was able to defeat so many people and win the royal fencing championship, Li Sansi was secretly ashamed, even if he was fighting with a fencing school coach, he almost lost, so it can be seen that Su Zixuan's father is so powerful What is the point.
