Jim was a company commander in the 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Guards Division of Fort Remloth, and was originally just an outcast who had fled from Fort Ambition, and had joined the army because he had been a mercenary before.

At first, he was just trying to make ends meet, so that he could survive in this troubled world, but later he found that this army was very different from the armies of other cities and towns.

Nowhere is this difference more obvious. It is embodied in the army system.

The city's army, all of which were professional troops, did nothing but train and garrison, which was very different from other aristocratic cities.

In other aristocratic territories, except for the castle guards and necessary patrols with a few hundred people, the other soldiers will only take up arms to participate in the battle when the lord is called, and they are basically engaged in all walks of life in peacetime, mostly engaged in agriculture or herding and the like, anyway, their lords will never let them be idle, and they must give full play to their value.

Although some large cities will keep more troops, such as Lorraine, Tianlangang, Rhine City, etc., and set aside more standing armies to prepare for emergencies, mainly because the city is too large to manage, and the political concept is not innovative, it can only be managed by strengthening the number of troops and brutally controlling and controlling.

Unlike Fort Remlos, the army here doesn't even have to do patrols, and all of them are packaged and handed over to the city's security bureau, which is controlled by the police force under the security bureau, while the professional army only needs to do daily training sessions, military exercises, and some special tasks.

This greatly reduces the burden on the army, and the soldiers will have family subsidies in addition to military salaries, and they will be posthumously recognized as martyrs if they die in battle, and their families will have subsidies from the city hall every month, which makes the soldiers have no worries and go to the battlefield to fight for the city with peace of mind.

Judging by Jim's breadth of knowledge and years of experience in the mercenary industry, it is estimated that only Remlos Castle is capable of implementing such a policy on the whole continent.

If other cities blindly followed suit, the economy of their territories would be dealt a great blow, at least the autumn harvest would be reduced by two or three percent, which was unacceptable to the old-fashioned aristocracy who strictly adhered to tradition.

Remlosburg is different, they have money! If you have money, you can do whatever you want!

I buy a batch of raw materials from you at a low price, after simple processing, and then sell the finished products back at a high price, which is the advantage of industrialization. This is also the reason why Remloth Fort can subsidize the lords to a very high standard.

Mercenaries, a group of people who lick blood from the knife, they do a wide range of work, from helping the grandmother hold the cat that climbs the tree to the state to propose war mercenary to the state.

There are many children on the mainland who think it's cool to be a mercenary, but Jim has been in the industry for more than ten years and is really tired of this job.

In fact, in the eyes of the regular army, mercenaries are just a group of guys who have no sense of honor, can only fight with the wind, and are indiscriminate, although some of them may have strong wills and a full sense of justice, but most of them become mercenaries just to make more money.

And Jim is a person with a strong sense of justice, who has been engaged in the mercenary industry for more than ten years, and he has hardly saved a penny, which is normal among mercenaries, because many mercenaries will take the money to drink, gamble, and Puji (I know what it means) after ending an order, and the money will be spent quickly, and then continue to go on the mission.

And Jim is different, he is a mercenary because he wants to help more people, so most of his mission rewards are donated to people in need, and because of this, Jim is not used to being looked down upon by his peers, and everyone unites to squeeze him, so that he has no task to take over, and lives a difficult life, and finally leaves the mercenary world with hatred, becomes an outcast from Fort Ambition, and joins the army.

After living in Remloth Fort for three months, Jim has fully integrated into life here and is no longer willing to go back to his old life.

What's more, now that he has a successful career and has become a company commander-level lieutenant officer, and he himself is only forty-three years old, and he still has at least eighty or ninety years of life, and there are infinite possibilities in the future.

Jim thought about it like this, and the whole person froze, looking majestic and serious on the outside, and walked forward with his head held high, and his heart had already drifted out of the sky.

Until he was interrupted by the shouting of a soldier.

"Look, company commander, there is a force the size of a company of the enemy army in front of them, and they seem to be ...... Trapped in a minefield!" reported to Jim from one of the soldiers next to Company Commander Jim.

Jim came back to his senses and looked ahead, only to see an enemy team trapped here, and according to the division commander Simon, the entire enemy army was in the minefield.

He didn't know what to say, whether to praise these guys for their bad luck or to praise Knight Collin's red line for being well buried.

If you don't understand the situation, don't act rashly!

However, this enemy army looks weak, I don't know if it is pretended.

On the other side, Lucius's heart sank when he saw the different uniforms of the arriving army.

What does it mean that coming from this direction is not their army? Could it be that General Mungel's side has lost?

The enemy is only a small county town, and the troops that can support it should not exceed 2,000 men, while General Mongel's side is only a vanguard army, and it already has a size of more than 20,000 people.

Moreover, the first battle broke out in the field, 20,000 men fighting 2,000 men, wouldn't it be okay to go up directly? I am afraid that if you change a pig to command, you can win, and although General Mengel's command ability is not outstanding, it can also be said to be mediocre.

And what is the matter with the arquebus, which everyone in front of him has in his hand, that is? Isn't this arquebus from Crescent City?

The Crescent City has been breached! The guns and ammunition piled up in the warehouse have become trophies, why are there so many here? Could it be ......?

Lucius's head swelled up with a seemingly unlikely possibility, and if this possibility was true, then the guns in the hands of this army, the arquebuses in Crescent City, and the reason for the defeat in the battle of Mongel all had a reasonable explanation.
