Chapter 3 Exhilaration

On the way to the school grounds, Duke realized that Lenia had planned to inspect the soldiers this morning.

It seems that his chief knight still has two brushes, and in addition to his excellent talent, he also has good work ability.

But when he squinted at the Home Secretary and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who were following behind with a sad face, he knew that they had no intention of calling himself to the parade.

Duke suppressed the doubts in his heart and walked quietly, intending to secretly explore the reason for their actions later.

If it's such a thing as overheading the superior, there is no way to break the situation for the time being, so I still have to take one step at a time.

Now his mind was only thinking about how to complete the second task, thinking about how to boost his morale later.

The school yard was just west of the castle, and the distance between the two was only three or four hundred meters, and in a short time everyone was there.

When Duke first saw the schoolyard, which looked like a small fortress, he felt a sense of peace of mind and some confidence that he would successfully defend himself against the tide of beasts.

But when he saw the soldiers in the school grounds, he immediately realized that he was still too optimistic.

I saw that about 300 people in the center of the school field barely maintained a phalanx, but there were all kinds of standing postures, and even a small half of them had no armor or weapons, only wearing ordinary linen clothes and holding something similar to a hoe.

As far as the eye can see, there are not many young adults.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer on the side saw Duke's face different, so he suggested loudly: "Lord, let's go back, Lord Lenia will arrange this." ”

Duke stiffly turned his head to look at him, and then at Lenya, who was standing beside him, with a worried look on his face, and the latter just standing apatheticly, clearly not intending to speak.

It turns out that you didn't let me come here because you were afraid that I would be stimulated?

If Duke had come here before, he would have lost confidence in an instant and died on the spot.

"No, no, let's go inside. He took a deep breath and walked in first, whether it was to complete the task of the system or to save his life.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer behind him was even more worried, but Lenia looked at Duke's back with some surprise, and followed Duke's footsteps into the school field.

When the soldiers in the school yard saw someone coming in, they barely kept their upright, silently watching the big men who came to inspect, and there was not much anger in their eyes.

It was in these numbly disguised gazes that Duke took the next step to the reviewing stand.

He glanced at the soldiers one by one, feeling even more heavy, and he tried to say something to boost morale:

"Soldiers...... I am your lord Duke Flewoff......"

"We're going to face a treacherous beast tide in three days, we're ......"

As he spoke, the expressions of the soldiers in the audience did not change at all, like a pool of stagnant water.

It doesn't seem to work.

Duke stopped talking, he was ready to be a little harder.

"Joseph. Duke turned to the Chancellor of the Exchequer and called him forward, "Get a few people to go to the vault and carry a few boxes of gold coins." ”

"Lord?" the Chancellor of the Exchequer looked at him puzzled.

"Do as I say!" Duke deliberately raised his voice, drawing the attention of some of the soldiers in front.

"Yes. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said yes and left the school grounds with four soldiers.

Ten minutes later, the sweaty Chancellor of the Exchequer re-entered the school yard with four soldiers carrying three heavy boxes, arousing the curiosity of the other soldiers.

Perhaps because the box was too heavy, the four of them suddenly lost their center of gravity and dumped the box under the review stand, and the gold coins in the box poured out like a stream of golden water.

Wow!

The soldiers in the audience instantly stirred, and Duke could even clearly see the rolling of the Adam's apple of the soldiers standing in the first row.

Damn, this fat man is very good!

Duke originally wanted to boost morale by distributing gold coins, but they didn't expect them to have a greater effect.

"Soldiers, soldiers. ”

Duke took the opportunity to shout loudly to regain their attention.

"We, the Fleiv family, will never treat any warrior who can shed his blood and sacrifice for the peace of the realm. ”

Duke paused to find that all the soldiers were holding their breath as he paused, staring at the gold coins that were the same as the hill under his feet.

He nodded in satisfaction and continued:

"Now I've decided to give five gold coins to each soldier present, and when we successfully fend off the beast tide, I'll give each of them another ten gold coins!"

"This is my promise to every warrior with the glory of the Fleiv family as a guarantee!"

As Duke's words fell, the soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then they all became excited.

I don't know who shouted "Banzai" first, and then the entire school field was filled with hooray voices one after another, and each soldier looked at his lord feverishly, and his morale was unprecedentedly high.

Except for the bloodless Chancellor of the Exchequer, who was spread out under the reviewing stand, everyone felt great satisfaction and excitement.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the Novice Quest (2): Boost Morale]

[Get Reward: Epic Magic Scroll X1, Exchange Points X100]

[Successfully Accepted the Novice Quest (3): Resisting the Beast Tide]

[Reward for completing the mission: Wisdom Wind X1, Starter Gift Pack, Exchange Points X1000]

Duke's mind naturally sounded the sound of the system's prompt and the task schedule after that.

Resist the tide of beasts?

Finally, it's time to face the biggest threat at this stage.

Duke clenched his fists slightly, only by surviving this wave could he truly gain a foothold in another world.

At the same time, he was somewhat eager to study the rewards received by the research and the new features of the system.

So he greeted his ministers with a little nod, and left the school on his own.

"It's over, it's over. The Chancellor's lips were still trembling, "This time we will use more than 4,000 gold coins, and our coffers will only have less than 5,000 gold coins in total!"

"I don't think so. Lenia patted the fat man on the shoulder, "If we can't survive this beast tide, no amount of money can be saved." ”

"Joseph, Lenia is right. As the eldest of the three, the Minister of the Interior made a final decision, "And, don't you notice? ”

"Indeed......" Lenia stroked her smooth chin thoughtfully.

"But we are happy to see such a change in the lord, and we hope that this crisis will allow him to truly grow into a lord of Kazugo. The Home Secretary sighed.

Lenia nodded slightly.

And Joseph was still immersed in the grief of releasing so many gold coins.
