Our family is in decline

"Okay." Paracelsus agreed directly without much hesitation, which was something Lance did not expect.

"Just asking for your opinion first..."

Lance also wanted to comfort him, but was directly interrupted by her opening her mouth.

"I don't have time to waste on that meaningless potion. I have a lot of unfinished things on my hands right now."

Lance knew that she was always straightforward, so he let go of his worries and went to help.

He used the knife, and Paracelsus, freed from the heavy work, began to write and draw.

Lance chatted with her about what happened outside, and at the same time some of the medical problems he encountered in treating the wounded.

Those medical staff lacked surgical experience, and the drugs and tools required for surgery were also incomplete.

Paracelsus had always shown a lack of interest in these, and only focused on recording the autopsy report.

Because this is not her area of ​​responsibility, she doesn't care much about other things besides the secrets of the human body. As for the surgical problems, she has nothing to do. The shortage of supplies is not something she can solve in a short time.

Until we get to those lepers.

"What? Are you sure?"

Infectious diseases can be regarded as plagues, and every plague represents a large number of deaths and uncontrollable panic.

Because no one can achieve good treatment results, contracting the disease is equal to death.

This is definitely a "ghost pearl" in medicine. Whoever can take it off will definitely leave a mark in the history of medicine.

"Don't worry, you are always among the medical team. As for whether it can succeed, I think you will be the witness."

Didn't Lance know what this meant to her?

of course I know.

But why is this news being thrown out now?

Because throwing away the chips in hand too early will not have the current effect. At least now Paracelsus' mind is full of leprosy, and even if she is really entangled with the Ascension Potion, it will be forgotten.

This is equivalent to Greendale's intervention in the matter of the Ascension Potion, and at the same time, it also allows you to participate in the treatment process of leprosy.

Lance always has plans for everything, and he would not dare to come to her without any preparation.

Even with Lance's current strength and status, he cannot escape the sophistication of the world. Although living this way is very complicated, taking into account the other person's feelings will make others feel happy and relaxed. This is why everyone likes to be in contact with people with high emotional intelligence.

If Lance hadn't repeatedly emphasized that this matter hadn't started yet, Paracelsus might have put down his work and started studying leprosy.

Lance's understanding of flesh and blood allowed him to accurately control the falling knife, and his strength dismantled the corpse very easily. It took Paracelsus a long time to saw the skull, but he could open it as easily as a can.

With his help, the remaining pigmen also completed the dissection at an unprecedented speed and collected enough samples.

"Don't look at me like that, you know how busy I am."

The dissection ended briefly, and Lance felt the fiery gaze of Paracelsus. He was so familiar with that gaze that he couldn't be more familiar with it. Isn't it the kind of gaze that finds the best cows and horses?

It should be the way I look at them, but why do they look at me instead?

Paracelsus also knew that Lance was telling the truth. She had probably heard him say how bad Hamlet was, and now he had provoked those people in Bastia.

Although she didn't pay attention to these, she still knew that the lord was not one of those aristocratic children who idled around every day.

…………

Lance was not a military king in his previous life, he had never even been a soldier, and he was not a military fan. His understanding of military aspects was only a little from the few war games he had played.

So when building the army, he didn't copy what he remembered, because it would be useless. He only had about 500 soldiers at the time.

At this time, formulating a cumbersome and complicated system will only tie your own hands, add a lot of unrealistic work, and even seriously hinder the growth and construction of the army.

So he directly simplified the military's various fancy military ranks and optimized the structure at the same time.

Set up a team of ten people, with one team leader.

There are fifty men in the squadron, with a single squadron leader and a deputy.

There is a team of one hundred people, with an independent team leader and a deputy.

The basic infantry was organized into four brigades.

Although the artillery and cavalry were not full, they set up separate teams.

The six brigades are the current military structure of Hamlet, and Lance has already planned its future development.

After absorbing the refugees, the first batch of two hundred people will be selected. After completing the training, a group of veterans with outstanding performance will be selected from other brigades as the backbone to pull up the new brigade, and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible by the old leading the young.

At the same time, new recruits will be added to those teams that are not full due to transfers, injuries, retirements, etc.

Basically, a batch of 200 people comes out of the training camp every month, which can expand a brigade. This is the advantage of the musket. The training is simple and fast, and it is easy to see results.

As long as the equipment and logistics can keep up with the training for a month, a musketeer can kill a knight.

If an army with cold weapons doesn't have three months of basic training, you won't be able to tell. And those knights have to start training from a young age, and only after passing the assessment are they qualified to wear the knight armor.

Lance planned to develop at this pace and expand the army to at least a thousand men and ten brigades.

That means Hamlet can protect himself and has the ability to expand outwards.

In his vision, he would have to wait until at least 10,000 troops to fully recover the entire Hamlet area.

But those are far away, and now he needs to focus on the present.

Hamlet, training camp.

The soldiers who were slightly injured were now fine, and those who were seriously injured were able to get out of bed. However, Lance still gave them enough time off so that they could have a good rest and fully recover as soon as possible.

Today, reserve training was suspended on the playground in the training camp, and the veterans gathered here.

But the special thing is that these soldiers are not wearing the simple or even casual clothes before, and then put on iron breastplates.

It was a new set of gray military uniforms, while those of the officers were black.

It looks crisp and neat when worn on a person, and the belt and hat add a bit of coolness.

Everyone straightened their backs, raised their heads and held their chests high, with serious faces and eyes, making them even more majestic.

This set of military uniforms is a work that transcends the times. It straddles directly from the feudal era to modern times, revealing the rigorous style of the army and full of the absolute rationality that the lord advocates, which is almost ruthless.

The design of military uniforms actually started very early. Lance directly designed (copied) three sets, and now theirs is actually like a ceremonial dress, because they are really handsome, but they are not suitable for combat.

Real combat uniforms should be simple, practical, and comfortable, and not so conspicuous.

The starting point of Hamlet's industry is the textile industry. Many of the craftsmen who come to Hamlet are from this industry. In addition, cotton and linen raw materials are produced here, and wool is also available, so it develops very quickly.

It took a long time from designing, collecting feedback, to custom-made production. The first batch of military uniforms were not in large numbers when they came out, but they were given directly by Lance to these soldiers who were training in the town.

They were the first batch of soldiers to officially wear this set of military uniforms, which were designed by the lord himself. This honor made others jealous!

But that's not why Lance came here today. He stepped onto the podium and faced the soldiers.

"In this battle, we defeated the coalition of barbarians and knights, we defeated the conspiracy of the cultists, and we won!

In this war, General Hamlet..."

What he wanted to do was very simple, that is, give them a brief review of the situation in this melee, and also to reward those soldiers who performed outstandingly.

"Barrett, kill fourteen cultists with one shot per person in the battle, come to power!"

"Sobre... George... Andrew..."

The soldiers whose names were called came forward one by one and took the parchment from Lance's hand with the details of the battle, performance, merit level, and the leader's autograph.

Many of the soldiers standing next to Lance were still injured, but it could be seen that they were proud when they received the military certificates, but they did not pay much attention to the gold coins as rewards.

But today's conference is not over yet, and the real key is yet to come.

"The most brutal battle in this battle was the battle at the outpost. The cultist used evil spells to summon terrifying monsters, and even the high walls of the fortress collapsed.

Of the 100 soldiers of the second brigade stationed there, 11 soldiers were killed, and more than 20 people survived were seriously injured, and almost everyone else was injured.

But they held on, they resisted the tide of attacks from the cultists, they killed the monsters and allowed the cultists to flee. This is the second team! "

Lance raised his hand to signal Barristan to come on stage, then grabbed the flag that had been prepared for a long time and erected it, then unfolded it while waving it, revealing a section of the city wall depicted on it.

"I will now award the second team the title of [Iron Wall]."

Lance handed the flag in Barristan's hand, and fierce cheers and applause broke out from below.

What is honor? This is honor!

This is an honor awarded by the lord and belongs exclusively to the second team.

The people in the second team were so happy and felt their faces light up. Seeing this, the other teams couldn't help but feel envious. At the same time, several captains also became fanatical. They must win the next flag!

Lance didn't like long speeches, so he just said what needed to be said.

"And my soldiers, you..." Lance opened his arms exaggeratedly to face the soldiers in the audience, shouting loudly, "You are the real heroes!"

This sentence ended the entire conference and brought the atmosphere to its peak.

Everyone showed a fanatical attitude and shouted loudly.

"Hamlet must win!"

"Long live the lord!"

"..."

The reservists who were watching the whole meeting couldn't help but feel excited when they saw this. They were summoned by the lord and even awarded certificates in person.

And the brigade stationed at the outpost directly received the title [Iron Wall], a flag designed by the lord. This is an unimaginable honor.

They eagerly hope that they can join the army and one day receive this honor. Even if they die in battle, they will have no regrets. The lord will take care of their families and even enter the hero's cemetery.

Why did Lance choose this place?

Just to give those newly recruited reserves a little Hamlet shock and tell them that this place is different from other places.

The conference dispersed after the meeting. With the standardization of the army, large-scale celebration banquets were also cancelled. Compared with this, it was more practical to give them a few days off.

But Lance and the others did not have a holiday. Several senior officials from Hamlet gathered for a small meeting to discuss several current issues.

The most important one is of course how to divide the spoils captured in this battle.

"Expanding the cavalry to a hundred men, a full cavalry will play a more obvious role. If we had this at the time, we would not be pulled."

"These new recruits should give priority to replenishing our second team, because the gap caused by death and disability is very large."

Leonard and Barristan spoke first. The troops they led had excellent records in this battle, so they spoke naturally.

Lance didn't pay much attention to their suggestions. Tiffany and Grendel didn't care about the military, and William was in charge of the security team. What's more, he was still thinking about his wolf, Boudica and Disma. He's just a part-time instructor and doesn't serve in the military, so he doesn't really care.

Patton, who was also part of the army, did not speak, but considering that his artillery did not even have a cannon, it was too early to say anything.

It seemed that everyone had no objections, but Lance did not agree to this plan.

"The cavalry has replaced their horses with new ones. Let's forget about expanding the recruitment quota first. We don't have so many resources for the time being."

"There is still a normal plan for personnel replenishment. After the batch of knight armors are repaired, some of them will be given to you."

Lance gave the two of them an explanation, but did not agree to their request. Instead, he seemed hesitant.

"The horses that were replaced were given to the artillery, and these new recruits gave priority to replenishing the artillery. They first pulled up the frame of the artillery, because the gun mold is ready for use, and the cannon is almost ready to be cast recently."

When Lance finished saying this, Leonard and Barristan understood why.

The lord has always believed that the future of war will be dominated by firearms, and the resources for training are also geared toward these. Spearmen have all been transferred to musketeers, and cavalry must be equipped with two pistols. So this decision is not surprising.

Patton obviously knew about this in advance, because his reaction was always calm, and he had already talked to the lord about the construction of artillery.

But this meeting is not that simple yet. Leonard is waiting for the lord to announce another thing.

"I need to select outstanding soldiers from the entire army to form personal guards. They are not to protect me, but to undertake the most difficult tasks.

Their enemies are not ordinary people, but extraordinary beings or other monsters, so their strength must be strong enough, and their will must be strong enough. "

Lance had actually mentioned this news before, but he didn't have the strength before, so he kept it on hold. The only so-called personal guards were Boudica and Disma.

And now it's finally on the agenda.
