Chapter 124: Eliminate Hidden Dangers

Because the temple was contaminated with André's vomit, William's canonization ceremony became brief, and after a tedious and useless ceremony, when Norton I's sword left William's shoulder, William became a knight in the kingdom of Navia, a lowly title of nobility that could not even be hereditary.

There have been no twists and turns during this period, but before the appointment order was announced, Andrei suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, the kingdom's army is a regular army led by you, all of them have undergone strict training, abide by military discipline, and are brave and good at fighting, although the civilian armed forces are enthusiastic, this sentiment should not be attacked, but it should also be distinguished from the regular army, otherwise let a group of drunken sailors mix in the soldiers, and there will be such people to follow suit in the future, and if this continues, it is likely to lead to our country's army becoming a rabble!"

William couldn't help but look sideways, and glanced at Andre, who was expressionless and businesslike, this man like a bodybuilder, with sharp words that were inconsistent with his appearance, and if he didn't look at his appearance, some people might mistakenly think that it was an old bureaucrat who said this.

"What do you mean, Captain?" Alcatio frowned at Andre.

"Since it is a civilian army, in order to distinguish it from the regular army, let's simply set up a militia team on its own!" Andre squinted at William, and then said to Norton I, "In peacetime, I am responsible for assisting the regular army, doing some simple local defense work in places that cannot be taken care of, or managing law and order, and the treatment should also be different from the regular army, otherwise any civilian team can be on an equal footing with the kingdom army that has been trained all year round, what will the soldiers think?"

Arcatio looked at William, but saw that William was touching the shoulder he had just been patted by Norton I with his sword, and seemed to be intoxicated with the satisfaction of being a nobleman.

Seeing William like this, Alcatio had no interest in continuing to speak for him.

So when William got his mandate, he became the captain of the Navia King's National Army.

When he left the palace, William remembered to ask Arcatio, "What did you mean by what you said to me before the competition?"

"Andre is one of His Majesty's bodyguards, and he has the trust of His Majesty, but he is narrow-minded, and I am afraid that after you defeat him, he will be hated by him, and he will always speak ill of you in His Majesty's ear in the future and take revenge on you," Arcatio shook his head and pointed to the letter of appointment in William's hand, "It's just that it's too late to say this now, and his revenge has already come." ”

"However, your wish has been fulfilled, and this little twist and turn is not important to you," Alcatio stroked his beard, "Besides, Your Majesty can't completely listen to André, otherwise he won't even give you the title of noble." ”

At this time, Andre and several other friendly ministers happened to walk past the two, and William smiled at Andre kindly, but the latter showed him a smiling expression and left without looking back.

"What am I talking about?" said Arcatio, seeing this, "your attitude of constantly sending peace signals is also right, although he is narrow-minded, he will never be able to target you all the time, then His Majesty will also be bored, you bear with it, let him vent his anger, and when he feels bored, it is estimated that it will be forgotten." ”

William smiled and nodded, echoing Arcatio's opinion, indicating that he didn't want to cause trouble either.

……

That night, in a private room in Danpier's restaurant, William and Sherlock were drinking and chatting.

Sherlock had just arrived in Kalmar City in the afternoon and quietly entered the restaurant, when he first arrived, several cadres of the Morgan Pirates were still there, but now he was the only one.

Thinking of what happened in the palace that William had said before, and what he had just instructed Diego and the others, Sherlock couldn't help asking, "Won't it cause any twists and turns at this time?"

"What's the twist and turn? the title of the nobility and the appointment of the militia have all come down," William said slowly, rubbing his palm against his glass, "and during the day, my performance in the palace is seen by everyone else, who can link the death of the 'strongest warrior in the kingdom' to me?"

William has been a pirate ship for a long time, and he has become more and more ruthless, and during the day, he still looks humble and flattering in the face of Andre, and in the afternoon, he asks the cadres in the pirate group to arrange a plan and prepare to kill each other.

This kind of style of behavior was something he could not have done in his previous life no matter what.

"Was it because of his words that we changed our status from the regular army to the militia?" Sherlock guessed why William had murderous intentions towards Andre.

"No, it's just because I'm careful," William said half-jokingly, and then explained, "Actually, it's a good thing to become a militia unit, and it will become a new army in the kingdom, more independent and relatively low-key, which is exactly what I want." ”

William's purpose in joining the kingdom's army is not to serve the country at all, he is just raising his new private army under the official name, and the statement that all the pirate crew members will join the army is purely to coax Alcatio and others, and only when dealing with the inspection of Alcatio and others, will he let his pirates pretend to be in the name of the army, and if the Germana 66 that made Roy smell the color really attack the kingdom of Navia, William will definitely leave with his subordinates as soon as possible.

In addition, he told Arcatio that he brought his own dry food and did not need the kingdom's military expenses, but in fact, it was not to curry favor with Alcatio, a greedy old dog, but to ensure that the financial power of the new army was in his own hands.

The militia unit that has been established now happens to be a brand-new independent formation, and the personnel power directly falls into the hands of William, and it is not so easy if it is a regular army.

In this way, in the new army that is about to be formed, William holds the personnel power in one hand and the financial power in the other, and under such a rudimentary military system in this world, even if this army bears the title of the Navian militia unit, in fact, the real surname can only be "Morgan".

The militia's main job was to assist the regular army, as well as other obscure tasks, and it was easier for William to disguise his plans.

"Then it must be his identity. Sherlock thought for a moment and affirmed.

"This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it has become, since then in the East China Sea, we will let the birds fly, so my tolerance for hidden dangers is zero," was guessed the idea, William said lightly, "Andre what is this?" The name of the strongest warrior in the kingdom seems to be a joke now, but his status as a close confidant of King Norton I is not, and he often follows Norton I, Alcatio can encourage Norton I to issue a ban on alcohol with a few words, if André is still alive, I don't know when to say two words, it can ruin my big thing, rather than wait for the two of us to have a grudge to the point where everyone knows about it, it is better to kill him now, and no one else will believe that I will do such a thing because of this little conflict. ”

"Besides, he won't die in vain. ”
