Lord Helanza

In the Grimm Empire, nobles were allowed to have private arms.

But it does not mean that all private armed forces have an imperial army.

To be precise, the military establishment is considered to be the license of the lord’s private armed forces. For example, a certain area encounters some unstable factors that require the military to take over, riots in certain planes, wars between planes, and interplanetary wars. Garrison rotation and so on. Under these circumstances, the armed forces with the imperial army will be assembled first, accept the deployment of the regional chief executive, and lead the army to maintain regional security.

Although the Grimm Empire plane wars frequently broke out, the private armed forces were once in a state of sluggishness.

Even so, there are still many nobles who want to have the establishment of the imperial army. The army establishment given to Surdak by the Marquis of Luther is yearn for something even in dreams by many lords.

Since the private armies of the noble lords require the lords to pay for their own expensive military expenses, why are there that many nobles who want to form private armed forces to become the lords?

The reason is simple, there are greater benefits in it.

This is mainly because while garrisoning the plane, the lords will have the priority to acquire the resources of the plane. If the lords are willing to lead the private army to participate in the war on the plane, they will get the legality of the new plane. Development rights, instead of the "four-three-three land distribution law" in the Imperial Territory Code, the formation of a private army is a common method of tax avoidance, and so on.

In short, even if you have a family background, if you want to promote your title, it is absolutely essential to form a private arm.

And having an elite army will also allow the noble lords to have more say in the House of Representatives seats.

The Marquis of Luther included Surdak’s personal armament in his Legion. For Surdak, even in terms of the noble lords, he took the 1st step.

The Marquis of Luther thought that Surdak, a commoner background, had no family property. As a low-level Baron, his wealth could not afford the expensive military expenses of private armed forces. So he told Surdak that In the process of forming a private army, no matter what kind of difficulties, you can help.

...

Nobles are called lords when they have territories and private armed forces.

Before this, Surdak was just the cavalry platoon platoon chief of the Helanza city guard battalion stationed in Desolate Land, and the Helanza City Council commissioned him to form the Desolate Land militia battalion. Surdak held the title of part-time militia battalion chief. .

When he has a private army of his own, he can be said to be a real lord.

At present, the title of Surdak is a bit low, and the territory is not large enough. The only sulfur mine may not be able to support the private army.

The Marquis of Luther put down the knife in his hand and said to Surdak: "If you are worried about military expenditures, you will need to work hard to exchange for the title in the initial stage. Only when you are promoted to the viscount can you get more There are many territories. Of course, you can also develop several mines on my plane. I also have several undeveloped copper-rich and iron-rich mines, which are not far from the town."

Surdak immediately said: "I am currently building the territory, and I will make good preparations when I return to Wall Village."

Mrs. Marianne glanced at the Marquis Luther, her tender eyes with a look that others could not understand. .

Probably only the Marquis of Luther could understand in the restaurant, and Mrs. Marianne hinted to him again:'Youngster has some ideas of his own. Don’t always impose your own ideas on the other person. Rebellious From this. '

The Marquis of Luther stopped talking about the promotion of the title and the development of the mine. He pondered for a moment and turned the topic around and said: "You can recruit some men at the high level war Academy. I'm in Pena. There are several well-known Institute Heads in the city, you can go to their Academy to choose at will, provided you have to persuade those students to join your private army."

"Master Luther , I don't want those newcomers who just graduated from Academy." Surdak touched his nose and rejected the proposal of Marquis Luther.

The Marquis Luther asked in surprise: "Then what good ideas do you have?"

Surdak said some of his understanding of the formation of an army: "I want to recruit some to continue Many veterans who are willing to stay on the battlefield have rich combat experience, but are forced to return to the countryside because they were injured on the battlefield. They have no life skills, so many people’s lives are very embarrassed. I want to find such veterans."

The Marquis of Luther glanced at Surdak again, and then he remembered that Surdak crawled out of the heavy armored infantry battalion step by step, so he has a deeper understanding of these lowest level veterans, and It seems that he still has these prejudices about the new recruits from the Academy, which led him to think like this.

The Marquis of Luther said: "But they have not received formal Knight training. I think you can form a cavalry regiment or a Swordsman regiment. Next spring will be the graduation season of the High Level War Academy. You can Don’t miss this good opportunity, just tell me when you think about it."

Surdak nodded, said: "Okay, I will consider it carefully."

Said: "But if you insist on choosing some retired veterans, although I do not agree with this, I can still provide you with some conveniences. I know many lords. There are always some veterans who have retired from their army. I will have someone give you these lists the next day."

Surdak only then discovered that a difficult problem that bothered him could be solved in front of the Marquis Luther with a slight movement of his finger.

"That's really good." Surdak said happily.

The Marquis Luther signaled that Surdak does not need to sit upright every time he speaks, so he can relax and eat something. He cordially said: "I still have some expectations for you. I hope you can form a new army as soon as possible. , Don’t miss my round of defense next year. This will be a rare opportunity for military training."

Surdak quickly agreed: "I will hurry up and do this."

There was a rush of footsteps at the entrance of the restaurant, and everyone's eyes fell on the entrance of the restaurant. Hathaway and Beatrice walked in from the corridor wearing exquisite long skirts, and four people followed them. Maid, the two entered the dining room, their eyes fell on the mountains of Surdak almost at the same time. They looked at each other, first slowed down and walked in front of the Marquis Luther, saluting the Marquis Luther, Madame Marian and the other lady.

Afterwards, he set his eyes on Surdak. Surdak stood up politely at this time and looked at Hathaway with a gentle gaze. Hathaway lowered her head shyly.

Although it is in winter, in the castle, Hathaway is still very bold in wearing a low-cut long skirt, the waist is tightly closed, so the squeezed chest appears a deep white The ditch, delicate collarbone and long neck make the large skin of the chest even more dazzling.

Mrs. Marianne was nodded to the Marquis of Luther. At this time, the Marquis of Luther said to Surdak: "Well, I still have some official business to deal with. Next, I should leave you youngster some time. "

The two ladies took the arms of the Marquis Luther and left the restaurant.

……

Hathaway raised her white chin slightly, her slender figure, white neck and delicate collarbone make her look like a beautiful white swan.

Her lips rose slightly, jade-green's eyes were looking at Surdak, Hathaway put her hands behind her back, her chest tall, and neither of them spoke, just silently in the dining room. Look at each other.

Continuously compressed the space between each other, until the two were close to each other, Surdak put his arms around Hathaway's thin waist, held the back of her neck with one hand, and gave a deep kiss.

They didn't separate from each other until the two couldn't breathe.

Beatrice squeezed away Hathaway, who was one step ahead, and a pair of bold and enthusiastic eyes looked at Surdak deeply. Beatrice with a round face had light brown eyes Yes, she looks a bit like a gypsy girl with bold thoughts and boldness, always showing two teeth when she laughs, and her skin is another dazzling white, some smooth as brocade.

She didn't even wait for Surdak to come up, she turned into a gorgeous butterfly, threw herself into Surdak's arms, and offered a warm kiss to Surdak.

The heat in the restaurant continued to rise, until a row of footsteps came from the door in the direction of the kitchen. Only after retreating from Surdak's arms, restraining a certain impulse in the body, Hathaway and Beatrice sat opposite Surdak, and the three exchanged their eyes.

After a while, Hathaway and Beatrice took a sip of ice-cold dessert wine to ease the atmosphere.

Surdak finished the grouse breast on the plate, and the middle-aged steward added a little pies to him. These exquisite delicacies are not available in Wall Village.

The two young ladies didn’t seem to have much appetite either. They only ate two slices of white bread smeared with some jam, drank a little sweet wine, and hurriedly ended breakfast.

The three of them were not in a hurry to leave the restaurant, the cook behind took the plate away, and Steward ordered someone to bring a honey tea mixed with vanilla and lemon.

Hathaway holding a warm cup, walked to the window of the dining room and opened the heavy curtains, a dazzling sunlight shot into the room, suddenly eclipsing the magic wall lamp in the room, full of garden The snow is taking in the entire scene, thick snow filled the courtyard, and a large group of gardeners are clearing the snow in the garden.

The whole house of the Marquis of Luther is a busy scene. Every steward is performing his own duties, and a group of maids and servants are cleaning and decorating the garden.

A group of youngsters gathered on the training ground in the backyard. They are probably members of the younger generation in the Luther family. Several aristocratic ladies actually stood outside the training ground, wearing fur coats. Whispers whispering from the edge.

Hathaway turned her head to Surdak behind her and asked:

"Do you want to see the entire castle?"

"I can't ask for it!"

Surdak answered with a smile.
