Chapter 478 Training the Knights

I have to admit that luck is really important.The eyes of the entire continent were attracted to the southern continent, and the Principality of Moxi annexed half of the Warhammer Kingdom.

The two big bosses were having a good time, and the Human Race Alliance pretended not to see it. It was impossible to hold a meeting at such a time.

There is no place to protest, let alone intervene in the international community.

The government of the Warhammer Kingdom in exile was forced to suffer, and like countless hapless small countries, the dream of restoring the country was shattered.

After the established fact of annexation, the Alpha Kingdom immediately recognized the legitimacy of the Mosi people's rule over the Warhammer Kingdom, and then the three countries of the Central Mainland also followed suit.

Living in the encirclement of the alien alliance, the three countries of the Central Continent and the two countries of the Northern Continent are all unlucky fellows with the same destiny.

After suffering a loss, the five countries have no confidence in the powerful families of the Southern Continent, and it is only natural to hold together for warmth.

The government of the Warhammer Kingdom in exile has no value to the four countries in crisis, and it is inevitable to be betrayed.

To be exact, it's not even a betrayal.From the beginning to the end, neither the Alpha Kingdom nor the three countries of the Middle Mainland recognized the legitimacy of the Warhammer Government-in-Exile.

Even if they elect a king, establish a restoration institution, and have a legal right of succession, it doesn't make any sense.

If you want to separate, you can separate, if you want to merge, you can merge, and you are playing everyone like a monkey!

Anyway, the territory occupied by the Moxi people was recovered from the alien army, and they did not directly seize the territory of the Warhammer Kingdom.

Both parties have a legal basis for swearing sovereignty over this land, which is a mess in itself, and anyone can support it.

The current embarrassing situation was actually created by the powerful and influential people in the Warhammer Kingdom.If they stayed and resisted until the expeditionary army arrived, it would be a different situation.

Emerald Palace, Caesar IV is now suffering and happy.No surprises, the previous deal with the Moxi people was discovered by everyone.

The queen suddenly increased the dowry of six provinces. To say that there was no behind-the-scenes transaction would be an insult to everyone's IQ.

It's just that the incident happened suddenly, and by the time everyone realized it, the matter had already been settled.

There is no evidence of insider trading between the king and the Moxi people. It is just a logical reasoning, and it cannot be brought to the table at all.

The dowry issue is a matter between the royal families of the two countries, and courtiers have no right to interfere.

The big nobles, who couldn't find any substantial flaws in the procedure and were unwilling to suffer, have vented their grievances in their own ways in recent days, causing Caesar IV to be devastated for a while.

Fortunately, this piece of meat was fat enough, and the oily water in his mouth soothed his wounded heart.

"Humph!"

After a cold drink, Caesar IV threw away the memorial.There was no accident, and he was given eye drops again.

I have to admit that these great nobles are chicken thieves, never mentioning the "six major provinces' dowry", but every sentence has something to do with it.

The new control area is not enough to get it in your hands, but also consider the security of the territory.

The aristocratic lords who suffered a great loss now firmly insist that the kingdom's defense plan has been determined and cannot be easily changed, and refuse to fulfill their obligations to the strategic security of these six provinces.

"These bastards, do you think that without them, we can't defend the land of these six provinces!

All of them have no eyes on the king, it's just..."

Caesar IV's scolding made all the royal family members very embarrassed.They really couldn't accept these words.

The current Alpha royal family nominally controls twelve provinces, but actually only developed three.

The three provinces that have been developed are not owned by the king alone, but also include the territories of royal family members and some retainers.

If a foreign enemy invades, the power that the royal family can mobilize may not be able to defend it.

Of course, even if he didn't use the kingdom's army as a king, Caesar IV could still cast a great summoning spell.

Countless aristocratic offshoots are waiting for the opportunity, as long as they promise enough benefits, no one will help him work hard.

The only problem is that the enemy cannot be too strong. The combat effectiveness of this kind of temporarily recruited army has never been reassuring.

"Your Majesty, everyone is also worried about the kingdom. There are some things that you don't need to take to heart."

The prime minister, the Grand Duke of Newfoundland, stepped forward to persuade him.

In this transaction, his own king did a very good job, but the monarch's desire to control also increased.

In his opinion, the royal family ate alone, and it was no big deal for people to complain a few words.

The kingdom defense plan cannot be changed easily, but it is not impossible to change it.In essence, it is still a matter of political bargaining, and there is no need to make a fuss.

After a few days, everyone's anger has almost subsided, and when we come back to talk about it, things will be much easier to handle.

Anyway, the Alliance of Ancient Survivors is digesting the results of the battle, and there is no time to stir up troubles for a while, and there is still a period of peace in the border area.

"Forget it, let's ignore these troublesome guys. The Near East strategy has just started, you all pay close attention to it, and don't make troubles.

As long as the situation in the Near East stabilizes, there will be no major disturbances in the North Continent.

While the orcs were busy fighting among themselves, they quickly built New Moon Harbor to lay the foundation for subsequent development.

This continental war has planted too many hidden dangers. I have an ominous premonition that the continent of Aslant will not be peaceful for a few years.

Counting the time, it is not long before the ten-thousand-year catastrophe that often appears in history books.

It's all the fault of those idiots in the Southern Continent, all of whom had their own calculations, and didn't grasp the opportunity to destroy the alien alliance.

If the alien race is strangled, regardless of how the future situation develops, the continent of Aslant will be dominated by my human race! "

Caesar IV's complaints startled everyone.If the king hadn't mentioned it, they would have forgotten the legend of "Ten Thousand Years Calamity".

There is no way, too much time has passed, and there are too few materials left.Based on only a few words in the history books, it is impossible to know what happened ten thousand years ago.

Even if some ancient tombs have been excavated, not much information has been obtained from them.A lot of content is also contradictory, and it is impossible to tell the truth from the fake.

The only thing that can prove the existence of the "Ten Thousand Years Calamity" is the replacement of the mainland hegemon.Most of the overlords are gradually declining from this time point.

The only good thing is that the outbreak of the "Ten Thousand Years Calamity" does not mean that the overlord of the mainland will definitely change. The elves have endured two rounds of shocks, and gradually declined after encountering the third wave.

"Your Majesty, it's just a legend that cannot be confirmed to be true or false, why bother to take it to heart, it might just be a purely historical coincidence.

Continent melee, evil god invasion, abyss invasion, evil spirits descending... Are these things rarely happening on the mainland?

It is not uncommon for us to encounter disasters that may be triggered by a major operation by a cult organization. "

The Minister of Finance, Marquis Delgado, said indifferently.

There is no need to worry about the melee of various ethnic groups in the mainland.The current alien alliance is dominated by the elves. As long as the human race does not take the initiative to start a war, the elves will not want to start a war.

If they hadn't understood the shortcomings of the elves, and knew that even if they were given 100 years, their strength would not grow much, and the continental war would not end so easily.

It doesn't matter if you don't know what the Ten Thousand Years Calamity is, just stare at a few big forces that have inherited the ancients.As long as these guys don't panic, everything is still under control.

Invasion from a different plane depends on what plane you encounter.If you encounter the abyss or the world of the undead, you can only consider yourself unlucky, and you will only be "hard-pressed" from beginning to end.

If you encounter a weaker plane, no one may invade!

"Okay, I'll just say a word of emotion. According to the records in the data, the time period of the Ten Thousand Years Calamity is not fixed. It can be advanced by more than ten years, or it can be delayed by several decades. The duration is also uncertain.

If we are lucky, our generation will not be able to meet it, so let's consider the current crisis first!

I can pretend not to see the aristocrats and lords all over the place getting angry, but when it comes to matters related to the Near East strategy, I must not allow anyone to sabotage it.

If it's too troublesome for you to deal with, then throw it to Marshal Hudson, who has been busy recently! "

Caesar IV said with a depressed face.

Everyone carved up the Warhammer Kingdom together, but in the end he was the only one who was scolded. One can imagine how depressed he felt.

However, these matters cannot be brought to the fore. In order not to cause greater political turmoil, he can only bear the resentment of the great nobles alone.

……

In the mountain area, countless young men and women gathered in the square, lined up in long queues, anxiously waiting for the test results.

Those who can come to queue have gone through three rounds of screening in advance.

In the first round of screening, the birth background does not require how prominent the background is, at least the background must be clean.

Today is different from the past. After cultivating a large number of grassroots talents, the gradually full-fledged Master Hudson no longer needs to rely on "spies" to govern his territory.

The original "spy" either voluntarily surrendered and was accepted, or died accidentally on the battlefield.

There is a chance to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, not only because they have made great contributions to the territory, but more importantly, their original masters have also defected here.

In fact, to use the word "spy" to describe them is to think highly of them.

With Hudson's status as a little baron at the time, it was not worth the high price for everyone to send well-trained spies over to lurk.

Some of them are the retainers gathered by the neighbors, and the other part are the children of the declining nobles who have been threatened or bought, and asked them to help pass the information.

The higher Hudson's status was, the more panicked the nobles who sent spies to the Mountain Territory.I was afraid that Hudson would find out one day, and he would directly bring someone to the door to settle the score.

After suffering for a period of time, the small and medium-sized nobles who couldn't bear the pressure expressed their surrender to Hudson one after another.

In order to appease people's hearts, Hudson generously expressed that he didn't care about it.It's just that the spies who exposed their identities were inevitably kicked out of the power center and engaged in some work that did not involve confidentiality.

The front is that Hudson's family background is too weak, and there is a serious shortage of talents in the territory. He can only use his talents first when he has to.

Now that the wings are full, "loyalty" has become the primary factor in talent selection.Hudson is not willing to spend a lot of money to train talents for the enemy.

The second round of screening of daily performance, preliminary investigation of their conduct.

Frankly speaking, this level is very vague and cannot be specifically quantified.As long as you don't commit crimes and don't have the tendency to oppose the lord, you can basically pass the test.

The third round is the qualification screening.

Because the population of the territory is too large and the number of magicians is too small, it is impossible to test the whole people, so Hudson simply disclosed the early meditation methods and basic knight training methods.

Naturally, relying on these things alone will not produce any great results, but it is enough to determine the cultivation qualifications.

The current fourth round of testing is to truly determine whether the cultivation qualification is good or bad, so as to determine the future training direction.

This comprehensive screening selection mode is also a challenge to the Kingdom's current talent selection mechanism.A year ago, Hudson would not have dared to play with such a big fanfare.

It is different now. Under the banner of developing the Near East, some slightly outrageous behaviors are acceptable to everyone.

In the past, the selection of elites from among the soldiers, and then teaching them how to cultivate Dou Qi, and selecting soldiers with cultivation qualifications from them, obviously cannot meet the requirements now.

Hudson has already completed the aptitude test in the army in private, and all soldiers with cultivation aptitude have obtained the cultivation method.

It's a pity that there are too few people with cultivation qualifications, and even fewer people with good talents.After screening the tens of thousands of troops in the territory, including a group of reserve soldiers, there are only more than 4000 people with cultivation qualifications, and only half of them have the value of training.

This ratio is far lower than that of noble children.Obviously, the bloodline theory circulating in the Aslante continent is not completely unfounded.

But in Hudson's view, this is more like human self-evolution.It's similar to picking seeds. The largest and fullest seeds will most likely produce better grains in terms of yield and quality.

When the fathers of the noble children awakened their talent for cultivation, their life essence would be sublimated, and this talent has a certain probability of being passed down.

After generation after generation of continuous optimization and screening, the probability of noble children having cultivation qualifications far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Not only is the probability of having a cultivation qualification high, but the qualification level is also relatively high.This is also one of the reasons why it is easier to give birth to strong people who inherit the ancient nobles.

Looking at the test results that are constantly gathering, Hudson has a new understanding of the class solidification in the continent of Aslante.

Fortunately, the base number of common people's children is large enough. Even if less than one-tenth of them have cultivation qualifications, it is still a considerable number after this large base number.

"Duke, this is the statistical test result.

领地12到18周岁领民中，拥有魔法天赋的共计926人，其中劣等天赋469人、下等天赋376人、中等天赋72人、上等天赋9人。

There are a total of 24867 people with knight training talents, including 14346 people with low talent, 8764 people with low talent, and medium talent..."

After listening to Kane's report, Hudson frowned.This data is much less than he expected.

Counting the refugees allocated by the royal family and the kingdom, the current mountainous territory has a population of 200 million.There are as many as 12 people aged 18 to 30 alone.

What's worse is that having cultivation aptitude does not mean having cultivation value.Cultivating inferior talents is simply a waste of resources.

There is no problem with hard work making up for one's weakness, provided that massive resources are invested.The cultivation qualifications of these people in front of them are all given by Hudson, so there are so many resources for them to squander.

This kind of test may not be completely accurate. If some special physique is awakened in the later stage, or if one encounters an adventure, it is still possible to change one's aptitude.

"Inferior talents, just let them go back! Tell them that if they develop a sense of aura within three years of cultivation, they can come back again.

If someone can persist in practicing every day, they don't need to arrange tasks for them for three years, and their daily rations can be increased by 0.5 pounds of fish.

Those with magical talents are incorporated into the magician group.

The rest of the boys were all incorporated into the reserve service, those with low qualifications were trained towards warriors, and those with middle and high qualifications were trained towards knights.

Except for all the girls with high qualifications, the rest are left for them to choose whether to stay or not.If you choose to stay, then train them according to the same standard. "

Hudson said with a sigh.

He gave the opportunity, but whether these people can grasp it is unknown.
