Lord of Lowland

Chapter 43 Conscription Order

After Cecil came back, Akat's old housekeeper and servant Ashan had already gone to sleep, and Sanders had been studying in the Earth Temple for the past few days.After Cecil came back, his mind was flustered, and he lay on the bed without even doing the usual compulsory meditation, sweetly thinking about the kiss Anne gave him, until he fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Cecil had to report to the Shrine of Dawn as usual.How could he know that the earl's messenger had arrived before he left the house.It turned out that what Ophelina and Anne said last night has now become a reality, and the king officially issued an order to send more troops to the Devil's Gate.

This conscription order was carried out by four countries at the same time. The Eluk Empire, the Hawata Kingdom, and the Elaya Kingdom issued the conscription order at the same time.Originally, the kingdom had 5 troops stationed at the Devil's Gate, but this time the conscription actually recruited 15 troops, and the two army groups that were confronting the Eluk Empire at the border and the Kingdom of Vahata A group army of the army was also transferred to the Devil's Gate at the same time.These three army groups have a total of 10 people. After this call, the strength of the Soloran Kingdom alone has reached 30 people.

I heard that other countries have mobilized on a similar scale. The Kingdom of Sololand is the smallest in terms of land and population among the four countries, but the Royal Family of the Kingdom of Sololand is more powerful.Therefore, the power within the order can be mobilized to the greatest extent.In order to meet the requirements for the number of troops increased this time, all the nobles were shown off with a huge number of troops.

The messenger said that Count Kasikud was suddenly shown off by the king with the number of 1000 troops. More than 200 knights under Kasikud were mobilized at once, and basically all of them were asked to go to the battlefield.Cecil originally owned 2 manors and should have provided at least 6 soldiers. However, Cecil was recently promoted to a title, and it was obviously not suitable for him to provide so many soldiers. Therefore, as the earl's T-shirt, Cecil only needed to provide [-] soldiers. Three troops are enough.

After receiving the earl's order, Cecil immediately obeyed. He first called Sanders back from the Temple of the Earth. Since returning to the capital, Cecil rarely saw Sanders, and he stayed on the earth. When Cecil saw him this time, Sanders' level had already risen to level 65. In such a short period of time, he had been promoted to level 5. Obviously, Sanders' practice for a while is still quite effective.

But the problem is that there are only two people in Cecil and Sanders. Even if the earl is lenient, Cecil still can't make up the quota of three soldiers.Generally speaking, according to the setting of the Lovalland continent, the family of the Lord Knight will generally raise some soldiers who will go out according to your manor to meet the various military service needs of the kingdom.But this Cecil probably didn't really have this habit before, and Sanders was the only soldier in the past six months.There is no way, Cecil can only go to the mercenary market to hire one.

It was not until the Mercenary Association that I realized that things were not that simple. This time the king was obviously mobilizing the whole country, and Cecil was not the only one who had a shortage of troops. The kingdom has been peaceful for a long time, and there are very few nobles to support at full strength during the days of peace. The number of these personal soldiers, so once the kingdom is full of recruits, these nobles will panic, and the price of mercenaries in the mercenary guild will also rise.It increased more than ten times overnight. Even if Cecil wanted to hire him, he couldn't afford it.

Cecil walked home dejectedly. He was planning to go to Ofelina to beg for mercy and see if she could help him.It's just that the Earl has exempted half of his population from military service, but he still can't finish it and wants to find his daughter to go through the back door. This really makes Cecil feel a little embarrassed.

When Cecil was walking to the door of his house depressed, suddenly a young man dressed as a magician stood next to him:
"Report to the Lord Knight, Private Andy reports for duty!"

It was Annie who came, and Cecil was obviously surprised, "Annie, why are you here, stop messing around." He said with a straight face.

"I'm not messing around. In order to come to you, I rejected Teacher Antonio's invitation to accompany him. He had no choice but to go to Cabrada and find two senior brothers to help." Annie said with a smile. "

"But it's a bit wronged to let you be my private soldier." Cecil said sincerely.

"Don't be stupid, who cares about this." Annie said indifferently.

Cecil was greatly moved when he heard this and held Anne's hand tightly. Anne also blushed and said nothing.

Back home, Annie, Sanders and Cecil gathered together. Cecil saw that his two so-called personal soldiers were a 65nd-level professional earth guard from the 2-level Earth Temple, and the other was a 60-level The legendary Dragon Vein Warlock.In addition, although he only has 3 people, Cecil feels that his team can definitely defeat a team of 300 people at the same level. Sanders may be an average professional, but he and Annie's strength is already crushing There are too many opponents at the same level.

After gathering the three of them, Cecil took the two of them to the residence of Earl Kashikud. In the residence of the Earl, various knights under the Earl and their personal soldiers came here to report, including the Baron Curesta and his daughter Talis, who said he had withdrawn from the engagement.Cecil glanced at Talis from a distance, and Talis's eyes were full of sadness and lamentation. It was obvious that he hadn't recovered from Darcy's death.When Cecil and Anne saw Talis and thought of Darcy, they couldn't help feeling a little sad.

The earl inspected his knights in armor. This time the king mobilized with all his strength, and the earl also used his full strength, mobilizing almost all his strength, and finally mobilized the 1000 troops requested by the king.The earl's eldest son has already married, and standing beside him is his second son Yellen. For this military transfer, the king even mobilized half of the manpower of the Knights of the Shield.Because of this, Yellen returned to her father's side to command the battle, but Cecil did not see Ofelina. He heard that she was taken away by the army directly under the kingdom. For her career, she should play a more important role. place.

The count organized his troops into five squadrons, marching in small groups of 5 people, with each squadron having 20 small groups.Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the three Cecils happened to be incorporated into Baron Curesta's team.Except for the three Cecils, the other dozen or so soldiers of Baron Curesta are all his personal soldiers.The baron was very embarrassed when he saw the three Cecils, and so was Cecil. The two parties exchanged a hasty greeting, and the three Cecils automatically entered the queue.

It took half a month for the 15 army to be recruited. This is due to the kingdom's system. Basically, all the nobles and soldiers are near the capital, and the strength of the capital is far greater than that of the local area. Most of the large-scale conscription can be solved only in the capital, and there is no need to go to the other three countries to gather forces from all over the place.

The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first. The king summoned 15 troops, but the number of people who called up grain and grass was as high as 40. Every large-scale military operation is a test of the country's financial strength. The deputy officials or former directly subordinate bureaucrats have started to raise food one after another.In places not on the marching road, local officials transported grain to the capital through official roads, and then transported it to various places in the army. As the army marched, the logistics of the army might be more difficult than the command of the army. battle.

The prime minister of the kingdom, Harold, assumed this responsibility from the duke. The duke is a genius in internal affairs, and he has a natural and special understanding of the raising and dispatching of war logistics and food, which is very disturbing under his transfer. The transportation work is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the expropriation of various places, which was originally difficult to implement, is also proceeding smoothly under his auspices.This prime minister has always been the king's pinnacle of stability, and in this chaotic moment, he once again showed a powerful role as a mainstay.

The kingdom's mage group will also accompany the expeditionary army. Under the leadership of the kingdom's chief mage, the legendary archmage Norman, the kingdom's mage group will attack with the kingdom's guards.That's right, the kingdom even sent out its most elite guard regiment.This Jingwei regiment is almost all candidates above level 60, and the proportion of temple professionals is also very high. Every ordinary soldier is equipped with black iron-level equipment. The head of the guard regiment, the legendary knight Jean The Marquis looked at this victorious army with a smile, and he firmly believed that his army would win one victory after another.

Princess Freya and Princess Ellenia sat in the luxurious chariot equipped for them by the Temple of Life. Princess Freya and the necklace she got got a total of 4 pieces of epic halo radiation increase by 100%. Level equipment, which makes his halo radiation radius reach 15000 meters, which is 15 kilometers, truly becoming a force that can cover the entire battlefield.All soldiers in a battlefield are covered by the War Priest's War Priest's aura, which can increase the attack, defense and movement speed by 15%, and it will not overlap with other aura skills.The role of Princess Freya on the battlefield can be imagined.

The reason why Princess Ellenia can go with Freya is not only that they are best friends, but also because she is the only person in the four countries who can take up the hidden profession of Oracle Knight in the Temple of the Brave. Personnel halo skills are 100% stronger. This skill combined with Freya's skills will push the existence that was originally against the sky to an even more against the sky.That's why she was borrowed from the Eluk Empire to the Soloran Kingdom.
