Self-discipline is king in horse riding and slashing

(Recently, some readers have complained that they do not understand borrowing troops. Here is a brief explanation. "Borrowing Troops" does not lend out part of the army, but the protagonist leads the army together. I believe there should be many readers who have accepted employment when playing horseback and slashing, right? Just Just treat it as a task. PS: In order to avoid misunderstanding by subsequent readers, the chapter name is changed to "Employment")

"Then I wonder, Your Majesty the Duke, will you and your army accept employment?"

Elizabeth's words were shocking. As soon as she said this, everyone in the camp looked surprised, except for herself.

Among them, the black-armored knight had the most violent reaction. He was standing next to the Baroness, and his eyes bulged out.

"Lord, you..."

Little Ludwig gasped heavily through his nose, and he forced himself to touch Elizabeth with his foot despite the scrutinizing gazes of the six Cathay generals opposite him.

when~

Elizabeth didn't say anything, but kicked back harder, but this time the sound was louder.

"What is Baron Elizabeth's plan?"

Chen Sheng asked noncommittally.

"I want to capture Fort Artabis and open up new territories for myself and the empire. However, now Estalia, Tyrell, and the border countries are all in war, and the empire's support from the mainland has been temporarily disrupted. I'm in a difficult situation, so I want to ask Your Excellency the Duke to help me."

The borrowing of troops was an impromptu idea by Elizabeth. Initially, she only planned to mention the trade agreement after the successful rescue. However, who would have thought that the other party did not need rescue and also had a large number of elite infantry.

Knights are the king of conventional ground arms. This is recognized all over the world. Although these highly skilled knights are still brave when dismounted and fight, no nobles in any country will use these extremely precious powers as infantry.

Elizabeth was naturally reluctant to part with her, especially since most of the people who followed her were family knights.

Originally, the baroness of the empire planned to hire Bretonnian infantry as the main siege force. But Bretonnia, which is famous for its knights around the world, lacks other arms besides knights. It has a large number of people and the only weapons it can use are knights and squires. infantry regiment.

Elizabeth took a fancy to these well-equipped attendants at a glance, but the leaders of the Bretonnian Knights disagreed. After all, these attendants were the source of supplementation for their cavalry team, and naturally they could not be lent out as cannon fodder.

So the Bretonnian Spear Corps, which was formed after simple training, became the only choice.

Elizabeth tried, but failed miserably. The peasants hired at high prices looked reliable even though they were wearing leather armor and holding shields and spears.

But when the battle started, she was almost left alone in the enemy's camp. After just one encounter, groups of Bretonnian spearmen fled the battlefield at extremely fast speeds.

If it hadn't been for the timely rescue by the knights, Elizabeth wouldn't have dared to think what would have happened to her.

Since then, this imperial pioneering team that stood out among the Bretonnian Expeditionary Knights has completely ceased its activities. It bought a manor from a businessman and waited for the route to resume again.

But today, Elizabeth saw hope again.

500 jade brave infantry!

She believed that it would no longer be difficult to capture Fort Artabis with such soldiers.

"It's not impossible, but Baron Elizabeth, these soldiers are very important to me..."

Chen Sheng was a little surprised, surprised by the boldness of this female noble.

"I can add money, double the money. In addition, if the Duke agrees, you can also receive unconditional military support from the Louisa family."

Elizabeth was anxious. She couldn't wait any longer, especially after she had hope.

Luisa family?

Who is it?

Is it the family of that famous game character?

Chen Sheng did not ask, but his puzzled expression showed no sign of restraint.

"My cousin's name is Maria Louisa von Wolfen."

Elizabeth said a person's name with some hesitation. This was the first time she introduced herself to someone outside her home.

"Ah? Please forgive me for being rude. I'm not very familiar with the nobility of the Old World."

Chen Sheng said it very euphemistically, but the implication was that the baroness should be more specific.

"The current emperor of the Sigma Empire, Karl Franz I von Holsweig-Schlistein, is this lady's husband."

The black-armored knight added calmly.

what?

Carl? !

"The big guy with the hammer?!"

Chen Sheng didn't hold back this time. He really didn't expect to meet this sister-in-law here.

A big guy with a hammer?

Elizabeth didn't understand what this meant, so she had to ask her companion for help, but the latter shook his head in confusion as well.

"Your Majesty indeed likes to fight with Galmaraz, but what does this big guy mean? Please help us, the Duke, clarify our doubts.

Standing up for Elizabeth has long been a common occurrence for the black-armored knight.

"Well, it's a compliment for a muscular grown man."

"His Excellency the Duke has the talent to become a big guy at a glance, just like His Majesty Carl."

...

"This knight, what is your name?"

"Little Ludwig."

The black-armored knight was stunned. He didn't know why the Duke suddenly called him.

"Is Ludwig Blackhelm your father?"

"It's my father!"

Little Ludwig's eyes widened and he wondered, could his father's reputation as the Emperor's Champion spread so far?

"Ah, that's okay. You have to learn from your father."

Chen Sheng looked at the black-armored knight carefully, and then looked at the Baroness: "I admire His Majesty Karl's achievements very much, and I am very grateful for your rescue. I will agree to this loan of troops."

"Ah? Really!"

Elizabeth was overjoyed when she heard this, and was so happy that she almost jumped out of her seat.

"But we still need to wait a few more days. You have also seen the current situation of the Holy Spring Manor."

...

The reconstruction of Shengquan Manor was very fast, and it was faster than anyone imagined. When Elizabeth came to help with her attendants and tenants on the third day, a 12-meter-high 4 meters wide interior walls.

At this moment, outside each of the exquisite two-story buildings, hundreds of Bretonnian freemen were carrying buckets of color with excited faces to paint the exterior walls of the houses.

Hey~ha~

In the central square, 1000 Yuyong were rehearsing the siege battle under the instructions of Lingtian Guard Aisha.

Hu~hu~

So damn tired!

While all the soldiers and civilians were busy, Chen Sheng, their leader, was not idle either. After adding points, he made a new training plan for himself.

That is to perform weight-bearing training wearing a knight's full-body heavy armor!

How did they do that? !

Why do they look so relaxed even when they are just changing clothes?

The system prompt sounded, and Chen Sheng, who had recorded the points, let out a long breath. He slowly stopped and took the armchair from Nilu and sat on it directly.

"Your Excellency, those farmers seem to be very adaptable!"

Elizabeth was observing a group of soldiers from the moment she entered the inner wall, and she couldn't take her eyes back until she came to Chen Sheng.

"Yeah, who would have imagined that this team of people were farmers two days ago~"
