The problem of 'Friendly Siege' is also repeated in a world dominated by feudal knightly warfare like Corell.

To rectify the source of the fundamental problem, it is still a matter of interests, that is, military exploits.

And military merit was almost the most likely way for freedmen to rise to nobility.

While there are many ways to become a nobleman in Corell, most of them are not something that commoners can achieve.

Like what... Marriage with a nobleman.

And it is only by gradually marrying the nobility for several generations in a row that it is possible to become a nobleman.

This superposition of probabilities... You taste, you taste.

In Luskan, a city-state that grew savagely on pirate looting, it might have been easier to become a nobleman.

That is, with an annual income of at least twenty calamity coins, and then pay a huge donation to the Arcane Brotherhood, you can listen to the knight, and this can be regarded as entering the threshold of nobility.

The last is to become a church nobility.

In the Korrell continent, many city-states and kingdoms regard a certain god or a certain righteous god as the mainstream belief in their kingdom, if they enter the major churches to study diligently, and have talents, if they are promoted to the dean of a branch of the church in their lifetime, or are favored by the gods to become ordained priests, then they can also be accepted by the ruling class of the authorities and become a church noble.

For example, Silvermoon City, before the reign of Erastro, legend has it that the goddess of the forest and the ranger Melicay visited the Silvermoon Tavern in human form and blessed the inn, so before that, Silvermoon City was the most orthodox in the belief of the goddess of the forest and the ranger, and after the Chosen Supreme Mage Erasdron ascended to the stage, then the middle and high-ranking priests of the Goddess of Magic Church will also be accepted as a church nobleman by the mainstream society.

Therefore, most people are so troublesome when they see the latter ones, and after thinking about it, they should join the army to fight, and there may be a glimmer of hope in their lifetime to be promoted to nobility with war merits.

Because the record of military exploits in this era is often the beheading, ear or right hand.

Therefore, in the competition for military achievements, there are often many problems that have a very bad impact.

Not to mention the commonplace operation of some nobles devouring their subordinates' military exploits.

Since most of the infantry on the battlefield of Corell are recruited from farmers, and there are a large number of adventurer mercenaries who work for money, the main force of the battlefield is still the knights born in the nobility.

Therefore, at the end of the war, when the enemy army began to flee and began to flee, there were often 'wrongful killings' in order to make up for the merits of the war, which was the so-called 'killing and risking merit' of Lanxing.

Not only that, but the reward and punishment mechanism on the battlefield will also lead some troop commanders to have some mysterious operations of snatching supplies and trapping teammates.

And the position of 'acting company commander' personally promised by Li Wei this time, in the eyes of the vast majority of Correll natives, this is simply a straight path to the nobility!

Because this 'company commander' is under the command of the 'hundred commanders', he is the 'hundred commanders' who directly command 100 people.

You must know that the average baron's subordinates are no more than a few dozen knights, and a relatively normal knight of the knights, when they generally respond to the baron's war call, they are just their own 'cavalry' with one or two attendants, two or three armored infantry, and seven or eight archers.

In such a comparison, the position of this 'company commander' is even higher than that of the knight of the Caiyi, almost comparable to the power of half a baron!

Under such a huge temptation, how can anyone not exploit the loophole?

There's no rule that you can't attack and eliminate others, right?

And if this kind of behavior is allowed to go, or even say that the guy who has done this kind of thing really becomes the 'acting company commander', then it will almost certainly bury evil consequences for the future.

What Levi is doing at the moment is to give this legion a preventive shot before it takes shape.

However, the regulations announced verbally did not have a profound experience after all.

Although he also knows that even if he does this, it will not be able to absolutely eliminate such things, but he believes that there will be some effect after all.

......

Just when the vanguard of the griffon mountain range, the proving ground, had begun to be 'fired', Herbert and the others were still worried about food.

No, Hogarth, this guy is too special to eat.

When he pulled out the twenty-pound bag of wheat rice, Herbert and the others thought they were being favored by the goddess of fortune, Tymorrah.

Hogarth lived up to their expectations, giving each of his four teammates a rice ball.

Originally, the people thought that with these twenty pounds of food, everyone could save a little food to make it to the camp, so that they could even save time looking for food.

As a result, before Herbert could finish their rice balls, they saw that this big man had solved all the remaining wheat rice in less than three minutes...

Everyone instantly fell into a situation of doubting their lives.

Okay... According to the other party's eating method, they not only had to start thinking about food collection from the afternoon, but also had to take into account the amazing amount of food eaten by this large man.

If there is such a freak in another team, they may have already started to think about abandoning him for the sake of ranking, or at least someone will throw out this idea and cause a dispute.

But the composition of Herbert's team is too strange, and no one has ever mentioned this problem, which also makes Herbert secretly relieved.

Herbert originally joined the army to practice his belief in protecting his family, and he never considered striving for the position of 'acting company commander' in the top ten, just hoping to be able to arrive at the camp safely, it is better to join the army, and if he fails the trial, he will honestly go back and continue to be his own port city guard, and it is a big deal to learn from experience and come back next time.

The old driver of the hammer and copper whisker is actually similar, and the locomotive driver in Zeellandia is actually a high-income group, and it is purely a bit of a ticket nature to join the army, eh... It may also be to evade the driver's license test.

If he loses his position as a locomotive driver and doesn't want to find some way to subsidize the family, the wife at home with a thicker beard than him is afraid that he will be used as an iron ingot.

Ralph is still a peasant boy with little knowledge, and he is lucky to have a good team if he doesn't find a place to be thrown away by this group of uncles.

As for Kik, the Eye-Fiend... This salty tentacle who has no pursuit is paddling happily on the side.

The last encounter with the Shadow Thieves Organization of the Thieves Guild gave him a new position: that is, he should keep a low profile in everything, and as long as he is low-key, he will not be forced to be promoted.

The painful experience of being an undercover agent in another organization and becoming a boss, and then kicking the iron plate again and being pressed to the ground by society and beaten, Kick said he never wanted to go through it again.

It's impossible to be the boss, it's impossible to be the boss in this life, fortunately, it feels good in the barracks, and the feeling in the barracks is much better than the feeling of the demon lair in the dark area, several teammates are all talents, and he likes to live with them.

No, a rice bucket-level warlock just gave him a piece of wheat rice ball, but he was moved.

As for the current food dilemma, in Kikke's opinion, it is all a minor problem, and it is not his turn to make a move at all.

In order to adapt to the environment of lack of materials in the dark region, as long as they have a full meal, they can maintain their basic survival without eating for the next ten days and half a month.

And he heard that as long as humans have water to drink, they can't die for a week, so there is no need to expose their abilities because of this.

What if I perform too well and am promoted after I officially join the army?

He, Kik, had long noticed the slimes that were sneaking after them, and he sensed the breath of the silver dragon from these slimes.

Well... Although the smell is more like that of feces...

So if he wants to do something, he has to avoid those slime 'eyeliners'.

But it turns out that surviving in the wilderness in the Griffon Mountains in the middle of winter is not an easy task.

Originally, Iron Hammer and Copper Whisker boasted that although the hunting matter was handed over to him, the skill of throwing a hammer with one hand was also a must among their gray dwarves.

And because the hammer has a storm-like sound when thrown, he calls this unique skill the 'Storm Hammer'.

Then boasted that as long as they could meet a lone elk or an ordinary brown bear or something in this desolate mountain forest, he promised to throw a hammer and a headshot!

As a result, life soon slapped him in the face with a hammer and a copper beard.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, they didn't even touch a living creature...

"You can't blame me for that... I guess it's because of our lord's icy breath, and as you can see, almost all the elk and creatures have fled the area under the tremor of the avalanche..."

The gray dwarf quickly found a step for himself.

However, the Lockers had already blown out, and Hammer thought for a moment and said, "Why don't I see if there are any mushrooms or anything..."

In the dark regions, they often have to gather mushrooms to survive, and distinguishing the poison of mushrooms is a must for their gray dwarves.

As a result, when I looked up, my feet were completely covered by the vast snow, and I could see any mushrooms anywhere.

Even Herbert, a retired veteran, was blind to this situation, and although he had encountered food shortages, Silvermoon City had never fought with orcs when the snow closed the mountain.

"Shh

Ralph on the side suddenly signaled everyone to silence.

"What's wrong?" everyone looked at the little transparent in the team in confusion.

"I heard some movement, it was supposed to be the sound of a baby squirrel eating. Ralph said with some unconfidence.

In fact, he also heard a lot of creatures along the way, but after seeing the dwarven uncle confidently saying that he had a unique hunting method, Ralph kept silent with the ostrich mentality of doing less and making fewer mistakes.

He was afraid that his judgment would be wrong, and that he would steal the limelight from the dwarves.

"Really, where?"

Herbert and the dwarf asked in surprise almost at the same time.

As an old Northerner, Herbert's habits are still clear.

Most of the mammals in the Northland forests hibernate and squirrels do, but squirrels are unique in that they are too small to store enough fat to hibernate all winter.

Therefore, before the middle of winter, they will collect many acorns and pine towers to spend the winter.

And they have to find an average of one or two hundred to survive the winter.

These two hundred are not easy to make, because they have to guard against not only thieves from their own kind, but also some humans who live in the mountains and forests.

If Cecilia, who was born as a hunter, was here, she would have more say, and she would go up to the trees to dig the squirrel's nest every late autumn.

Once you've found a squirrel's nest inhabited by a squirrel, you've found all the 'wealth' of a squirrel.

Both of these are rich in starch and vegetable oils.

Nearly two hundred acorns and pine towers were enough for the five of them to have a full meal.

"Should... In this tree. ”

Ralph tiptoed to some thick oak tree and addressed the people.

"I'll do it, phew. ”

Herbert glanced at it, whether it was the gray dwarf with five short statures, the stocky and huge Hogarth, or the non-existent Kikke, he was afraid that he was not very good at climbing trees, so he spit two mouthfuls into the palm of his hand, which was somewhat non-slip.

It's just that Herbert doesn't have any expertise in climbing trees, and his movements are like a big bear lying on a tree.

Xu was too much of a movement, and soon heard an anxious reminder from Ralph:

"Uncle Herbert, hurry up! The squirrel has spotted you, and he's ready to run away!"

Herbert gritted his teeth when he heard this, and his speed was half a point faster, but his speed was not as fast as that of a squirrel.

Before he could climb to the mouth of the cave, he saw a cute and petite chipmunk rush out of the hole and jump onto the branch of the oak tree next door.

The two-legged man stood up and let out a mournful cry at a group of human 'robbers':

"Ah!!h

"Shoot it, shoot it, no, throw it, hammer, we'll have it for dinner!"

Herbert shouted to the gray dwarf under the tree.

"Hey, hey, hey, there's a squirrel, boy, you're coming, look at me!" Hammer patted Ralph on the shoulder, laughing excitedly.

Xu Wei's smile was too malicious, and the squirrel could no longer care about the 'treasure' in the nest, and began to flee for its life into the depths of the forest.

"Look at the hammer!"

Everyone saw a silver light accompanied by a huge sound of breaking wind, sweeping over the shadows of the trees, as if they had already predicted the squirrel's next move, and just as it had just jumped to another oak tree and paused for a short time, it was smashed by the silver hammer with a loud 'poof' sound.

The force was so great that the whole oak tree shook violently, and then the snow that had been accumulated on it for an unknown amount of time fell like a blizzard, and brought the hammer of the hammer down with the poor headless squirrel.

A bright cloud of blood fell on the white snow, which was very eye-catching.

"Wow, Uncle Hammer, you're amazing! I want to learn this Stormhammer too!"

Ralph, who was still a child, jumped up excitedly, and the big man Hogarth on the side also clapped his hands stupidly.

"Aha! I'll just say, I haven't missed this Stormhammer since I practiced it. The gray dwarf laughed and touted his fame stunt.

"Hey, then, we had dinner, and this squirrel was very good, at least two or three hundred acorns. ”

Herbert, who was raiding the house, directly took out all the 'squirrel treasures' in it and threw them down, and the scene was like rain.

For a while, they didn't seem to be here to participate in the trial, but more like a group of donkey friends who came to the Griffon Mountains for sightseeing...

"Wait for me, I'll pick up the hammer and the squirrel. Hammer Copperbeard said with a smile.

"I'll go, I'll go. As soon as the gray dwarf finished speaking, the big man Hogarth ran over like a brown bear.

The others were happy to do the same, and everyone did what they could, which was more conducive to the harmonious atmosphere of the squad.

But just as Hogarth was about to pick up the hammer and the squirrel, he heard Ralph's suddenly alarmed warning voice:

"Hogarth, be careful!"

There was a sound of breaking wind, and an axe grazed Hogarth's head and slashed heavily into the trunk of a tree behind him.

Hogarth was stunned.

"Who!

Herbert, a former veteran, suddenly felt bad, and immediately pulled out the standard long sword at his waist, making a defensive gesture to face the direction of the flying axe.

"Aha, sure enough, you Northlanders are better at finding food, we want this squirrel, and so do the acorns you have on hand. ”

I saw a group of five people who were also much stronger than the obvious squad, come out of the shadows in the forest, and said with a confident smile on their faces.

The 'infighting' that many high-level leaders had already foreseen befell Herbert and their 404 squad without warning.
