051. The Covenant I
Olya's proposal is very much in line with Allen's current needs, except that he needs more than just one person, but an organization.
Alan hadn't noticed it before, but since the Golden Spike Castle incident, he had found that in the absence of magical communication, the speed of information transmission here was really too slow, and small families like Peters and Merlin without intelligence organizations were no different from blind people.
So Alan needs an organization that can both detect hidden dangers in advance and gather intelligence for him.
It's just that according to his current power, Allen still has nothing in this area, and he can be recruited if he is interested in the shadow, but the other party is only suitable to become a tool to vent his anger in the end.
"I also think that we should arrange a personal guard for the young master,"
Locke, who was standing on the left side of the table, looked at the crescent moon and said with some doubts: "But I remember, Olya, your subordinates are all archers, can you be qualified for this position?"
"Of course, although Crescent Moon is good at using bows and arrows, she is more of a swordsman by comparison. ”
Olya said firmly, "Crescent's father was a half-elf lieutenant, and she inherited her father's excellent swordsmanship. ”
"And not only is she able to see through enemies hiding in the shadows, but she also has an extremely keen sense of perception, especially when it comes to danger. ”
The last time Alan asked Olya to choose personnel, she wanted to push the crescent moon up, but because the crescent was not yet an adult, and the half-elf had been in the position of an archer since she arrived in the Merlin family, Olya didn't choose her in the end.
"Why are you so powerful......
Cobb scratched his head, trying to say something but couldn't refute it, because counting the shadow half-elves, they had already captured three enemies hiding in the shadows.
But in an instant, he thought of another point, "What's the strength? too weak to protect the leader." ”
"The crescent moon is still young, and it is a starlight swordsman of the elven race, according to the hierarchy of human society, it is almost more than two levels. ”
"The strength is too weak, this can't protect the head at all, no, it's safer for me......" Cobb grinned and waved his hand nonchalantly.
He was already a third-level swordsman, and counting the amplification effect of the runes, a fifth-level swordsman could not even walk a few swords in his hands.
"Let's give it a try. ”
However, the crescent moon, which had been standing silently beside Olya, suddenly spoke, making everyone present obviously stunned.
"Loser, get out. ”
Cobb, who was stared at by the crescent moon, was stunned at first, and then immediately became angry after reacting, "Try it, I'm afraid of you!"
As he spoke, he walked out with the giant sword on his shoulder, no matter who the other party was, he would lie down first.
But Alan couldn't let them mess around, and immediately shouted: "Enough!"
He glared at the imposing Cobb, motioned for him to sit down, and then looked at the half-elf girl, thinking that this crescent moon looked small, but his speech and courage were very hard.
Alan believed that the half-elf girl had strength, but Cobb now had five white giant power runes on his body, and no matter how strong the second-level swordsman was, he couldn't be his opponent.
The two of them saw that Alan had spoken, and their mouths were naturally honest, but they still looked at each other, and it seemed that this strength was screwed up.
Regardless of the condition of these two people, Alan looked around at everyone, "What do you think?"
"Young Master, I think Olia's proposal is right, you really need such a person by your side,"
Locke glanced at Cobb, who was looking at him, and ignored it,
"And according to Olya's description, Crescent Moon is indeed a suitable candidate, as for the question of strength...... Without the runes, the crescent would not necessarily fall to Cobb's hands. ”
Locke's temperament was originally upright and honest, but now when it comes to Allen's safety, he can say whatever he wants, and there is no reason to speak for anyone because of friendship.
It's just that his words are a little too straightforward, and Rao is Cobb is thick-skinned, and he can't help but blush.
Alan nodded, then turned to look at the others, Hermet and Guy agreed with Locke.
Ou Siman spread his hands and said that he had no opinion, but turned his head and asked if Olya had a half-elf girl like Crescent Moon and arranged one for her.
Only Linda didn't speak, silently serving on the side.
Alan thought about it carefully, and finally decided to leave the crescent moon first, and what to do about it was still to see her strength before making arrangements.
After the matter of the personal guards was tentatively decided, Locke began to report on the military situation in the territory.
With the support of Field's coffers, the Merlin family's soldiers had expanded to three hundred, and although most of them were new recruits, they could barely be considered ordinary soldiers due to the high intensity of training.
Olya was in charge of all the archers in the territory, but because the number of half-elves was too small, Alan asked Hermet and Guy to assist her in selecting some talented soldiers from among the human soldiers, and put together a total of fifty people.
The five rune-laden guards and half-elves were not among them, and Alan had always wanted to make them independent, but because of the small number of them, they were still in the hands of Locke and Olya.
Because he was busy with rune drawing, Alan didn't manage the territory during this time, and in fact, he didn't have much experience in this area.
As a result, after the military debriefing, everyone raised a common problem, that is, the logistics were in a mess.
The main problem is that the number of soldiers has increased suddenly, and the daily consumption of logistics materials has doubled to catch everyone off guard.
And a lot of prey was captured during the recruit training, and in addition to some materials used by Allen, a lot of things were wasted because there was no one to deal with the arrangement.
When he heard this question, Alan turned his head without hesitation and looked at Ou Siman who was fiddling with the teacup on the side suspiciously.
Ou Siman was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Alan with a bitter expression.
"Dear Young Master Allen, you don't want to leave this matter to me too, do you?"
Ou Siman has been troubled by the affairs of the Peters Family Chamber of Commerce recently, and he has not been concerned about the affairs of Golden Spike Fort for a long time.
"Aren't you responsible for this kind of gold thing?"
"Of course not, this should be the butler's business, if you can bring Mr. Brad in charge, these will definitely not be a problem!"
It is true that Osman could find someone to be in charge of sorting out the prey and putting it up for sale at the Peters Chamber of Commerce, but there must be a steward to coordinate everything, including all the financial income and expenses of Fort Golden Spike and Fort Shemson.
After all, there is an essential difference between family management and chamber of commerce management.
At this time, the others also nodded, they had always felt that something was missing in this group, and after Ou Siman reminded them, everyone remembered the help Brad had given to everyone.
"Alright, let's go and fetch Grandpa Brad when we're done. ”
After hearing that someone was in charge of the mess, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Alan also looked around at everyone, signaling that they could go their separate ways without anything else.
At this time, Ou Siman, who had been careless, suddenly took out a letter and handed it to Allen.
"Sidden, the Grand Elder of the Peters family, has asked me to come to Greywing City for a family meeting. ”
