Chapter Ninety-Five: Preparation for the River Valley
The city of Blau
What people are best at is forgetting, after all, life has to go on,
Only two days have passed since the fighting in Sadrburg, and the city of Belle has almost returned to its former prosperity, with people coming and going on the streets.
Or maybe this battle is a bit anticlimactic, not tragic at all, and naturally it will not be impressive.
As for saying that this Bolai City has changed, the small people actually don't care whether it is the old men of the twelve families who built the city sitting on their heads, or the now famous Thor, as long as the life can go on.
City Hall of Bolai,
This is now Thor's temporary office, and the municipal departments, which used to obey the decisions of the Council of the Twelve Nobles, are now very willing to accept Thor's orders.
Since the disposal of the Sade family the day before yesterday, Thor has initially controlled the situation, and the valley does not dare to say,
But this Bolay City, with the cooperation of Dane, has been completely controlled by Thor.
In the face of Thor, who has absolute force, the remaining eleven nobles dare not speak out, and they don't even dare to show their anger.
At Thor's request, they not only had to spit out all the military fields they had previously occupied, but also volunteered to provide food and grass for the army that supported the Northlands.
And according to Thor's request, a large number of home-raised professional soldiers were added to the garrison corps that was being restored.
Even if you pay for food, you have to pay people, and it's all an obligation to provide no benefits at all, Saul is actually more than Richard to some extent,
However, Thor has the confidence to do so, in the name of righteousness, and there is absolutely no power to support it, if anyone dares to disobey, the Sade family is a lesson from the past.
"Kuz, how's it going today?"
"The soldiers of each family have already reported to the garrison corps, there are nearly 3,000 people, no one dares to fake, they are all elites who have been trained for a long time."
Whether a soldier is a recruit or a veteran of the army for a long time, let the officers like Kutz look at it, and they can tell at a glance that no one dares to falsify on such a question,
Or maybe there was a little bit of fraud in the mind, but it was also crushed by the mountain of Thor.
"There are more than 2,000 new recruits today, and all of them have been urgently trained."
Providing more than 3,000 professional soldiers is already the limit of each family, this is not the kind of peasant soldier who has just put down his hoe, but a professional soldier who has been in the battalion for a long time, and the cost is quite high.
The environment of the river valley is relatively safe, there are not too many external threats, and even if the nobles have more financial resources, they will not choose to use all of them to raise soldiers.
This time to replenish the troops, it is more necessary to rely on new recruitment,
Although the nobles of the valley are rich, there are still many poor people below, and Thor is rich with the financial resources of the nobles of the valley and the income from the raid of Sade's family.
The salary of the new army is not low, and the recruitment progress of the new army is not slow, according to Saul's plan, at least rely on the land and wealth of the river valley to raise two legions.
"How's the recruitment of knights?"
"Since the news was released yesterday, three knights have come to vote today, and ten quasi-knights have entered the camp."
Thor nodded, quite satisfied with this progress, the news has not been released for a long time, and in a few days, there should be more knights who come to vote.
"Properly placed."
In addition to replenishing and creating new legions, there is also a big deal to recruit enough knights to go to the Northland to fight,
This time, the royal capital gave a reward, and the battle with the ogre can also be regarded as a military merit, and it will also give the territory and the title, and there are definitely some knights who do not have the title and the land to fight.
Before the kingdom's most valuable military merit was only the head of the orc, if you want to be knighted, you can only go to the dragon's breath pass and wait, waiting for the day to fight with the orcs, before you have the opportunity to get some military merits, some people have not encountered a big war for more than ten years, and they still haven't accumulated enough military merits to be knighted.
"Lord Thor."
Dane walked in through the door, and although he was still a pawn, Thor had given him some temporary positions, and it was now more like a gesture of punishment to keep him as a pawn.
In the past few days, Dane has also shown that he is valuable, since he is valuable, Thor will continue to use it, he is not afraid that Dane will dare to do something under his nose,
And the people under him will not really treat Dane as a pawn, and they still have to do their best to follow Dane.
"Lord Thor, all of Sade's property in the city of Berley has been confiscated."
The temporary errand that Saul arranged for Dane was to raid the house, which was actually a technical job, not simply taking out the finances in the house.
That little was just a drop in the bucket of Sade's property, and more of it was the land deeds outside and some goods piled up in the material warehouse.
On the contrary, Dane is most familiar with this piece, and he will do it, and send someone to supervise it, and the effect is good.
"The things will be sold as soon as possible and become Jinnar, and the grain and grass will contact the Drifting Snow City side and let them transport it back."
"Yes, sir."
Those title deeds and jewels are of no use to Saul, so it is better to sell them earlier and exchange them for real Kinnar to raise soldiers.
Grain and grass are supplied by the nobles of the river valley for free, and there is no shortage anyway, so it is just transported to the snowy city that is short of food for emergency.
After taking care of the details of the matter at hand, Thor stood up and walked to the window and looked at the recruiting point, which was still very busy.
"Alas"
"My lord sighs."
Kuz, who was following behind Thor, was a little puzzled, and in his opinion, things were going fairly smoothly now, and there was no need to sigh.
"It's still too slow."
Thor originally thought that there was a base for garrisoning the army in the river valley, and if he recruited some nobles, he would soon be able to march north.
But it was a bit unexpected that he didn't want the valley to rot, so he had to pause more, at least to integrate an army capable of fighting before he could go north to support......
