Chapter 208: Meeting of Four
ps: The second update, ask for votes, ask for subscriptions
In addition, in two years, Darkblade has set up centurions in dozens of counties across the country, and it is time to promote some thousands.
So, as before, Edward divided England into eight parts, the northeast of England, the northwest of England, Yorkshire and Humber, the west of central England, the east of central England, the east of England, the southwest of England, and the southeast of England. Each of these eight districts has a commander.
Add Wales and Scotland and Ireland, so there are eleven commanders in all.
For His Majesty the King's arrangement, Guy didn't know whether he was happy or what, anyway, he didn't lose much of his power, but instead his position rose from a commander to a chief, a big step forward.
Moreover, the flexibility of the points system has brought him a lot of benefits.
Like a lot of money. One point for a normal task, while one point can be exchanged for two pounds.
He is the leader of the Darkblade, so his points are one-tenth of the accumulated points of all centurions, and the centurion is one-tenth of the accumulated points of the captains under him, and the captains and vice-captains are no different from ordinary people.
The number of points he has obtained is countless, and it is conservatively estimated that there are currently more than two hundred.
However, he could not have become a knight without the points for special missions issued by the king.
If he converted all his points into pounds, then he would have more than five hundred pounds, enough for him to buy more than a hundred acres of land in the countryside and become a landowner.
Of course, he is not so stupid, it is better to exchange points for land! Not only is this much more convenient, but it's also cheaper.
Guy walked out of the room, silently calculating how many fields he could exchange points for along the way, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
Edward sat on the chair and wiped his sweat, this trip was too tired for him.
"Emma! You tell the remaining few that I'm tired today and let them come back tomorrow! β
Edward's voice was weak and soft, as if he were about to fall asleep, and in fact, he was planning to do so.
Seeing His Majesty the King like this, Emma was very distressed, His Majesty the King worked so hard for England, it seems that the teacher is right, loyalty to His Majesty is a wise choice.
Emma nodded slightly, quietly closed the door, and began to announce to the few people waiting.
In this regard, these people have no choice but to sigh and come back tomorrow.
After Guy returned from the palace, he didn't stay at home for long, and hurried to the Bloodblade headquarters.
In the past, in addition to the king's appropriation, the cost of the Darkblade was to control the gangs in the city, or the dock gangs, and to collect a large amount of contributions from them, as was the case in France and England.
Moreover, with the support of the king, the speed of the development of the dark blade is getting faster and faster, and the king's annual appropriation is completely unable to meet the expenses required by the dark blade, so the proportion of the gangster's donations is increasing.
Every year, these gangsters bring tens of thousands of pounds in revenue to Darkblade, which supports Darkblade's expansion.
All this was done with the acquiescence of His Majesty the King, and one of the deputy commanders was in charge of finances, which was arranged by His Majesty, and he did not dare to be greedy for ink.
Followed by the two younger brothers, they came directly to the headquarters base renamed Bloody Blade.
As a translucent institution, the headquarters is set up in a building not far from Whitehall House, with two people guarding the door.
"Your Excellency!" When the two guards saw their boss coming, they hurriedly bent down and saluted.
In this regard, Guy didn't blink an eyelid and went straight in.
He didn't say hello and greeting like Darkblade had at the beginning, he didn't have to do that now.
Walking in in a hurry, the members passing by along the way saluted one by one, and Guy walked straight into his office regardless of it.
"Mr. Truss, inform me that the centurion who is currently in Renton and all centurions and above in England will come to the meeting for a week!"
Facing the middle-aged man who was bent over beside him, Guy commanded directly.
"Pass it with a pigeon, so it's faster!"
"Yes, sir!" Truss somewhat understood the importance of the matter, and immediately bent down and saluted, decisively agreeing.
"You, go and call a few deputy commanders for a meeting in my office, and at onceβ" Guy said, looking at the other man beside him.
Then, in less than ten minutes, the other three deputy commanders hurried in, all with fine sweat on their foreheads.
"My lord, is there something wrong?" A young man in his twenties in leather shoes asked suspiciously.
Guy looked over, this is the deputy commander sent by the king, named David, who is in charge of finances, and I heard that the son of a steward has a set of accounts.
"Yes! What is so important, my lord? "This one is also the deputy commander sent by the king, who is responsible for monitoring the exchange of points and promoting the spirit of allegiance to the king in the dark blade.
His name is Charles, and he is also a young man in his twenties, relatively strong, amiable, and has a wide range of friends in the dark blade.
And the remaining deputy centurion in charge of promotion is named Ed, who is his old subordinate, because of the ability to recruit orphans, he suddenly became the first centurion, and then in Portsmouth, he seemed to be looked at by the king, and on his recommendation, became the deputy centurion.
His gaze also turned to Guy's body, with a hint of inquiry.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today I went to meet with His Majesty the King, and His Majesty is dissatisfied with the performance of our Dark Blade during this period of time!"
Guy stood up, his gaze lingering on the faces of the three for a moment, and then spoke in a deep tone.
When the other three heard that His Majesty was dissatisfied with them, their faces were suddenly full of nervousness, and their eyes were all fixed on Guy, hoping that his next sentence would be good news.
And Guy did not disappoint them, and continued: "After my detailed explanation, His Majesty has cleared some of our prejudices, but-"
This sentence tightened their heartstrings.
"His Majesty the King has made some corrections to our Dark Blade, everyone must actively cooperate!"
With that, Guy looked at the three of them.
"Of course, to serve His Majesty, this is what we should do!" Charles, who had a kind face, couldn't wait to show his attitude, and the others nodded approvingly.
These three people are the leaders of the three major factions except for Guy, and after the four of them nodded, there was basically no resistance to reform.
Later, Guy changed the name of the Darkblade to the Bloody Blade, merged the Punishment Department into the newly established Imperial Intelligence Service, and informed them of the establishment of eleven commanders.
Of course, the three of them later became deputy chiefs, but the eleven commanders, including Guy, of course, the four of them had to be discussed.
