"Willfulness is simply lawlessness. Look, what have you been doing all these days? Let's not talk about killing those low- and middle-level officials for the time being. Anyway, it's just eating and drinking all day long. But what happened when you released the news of the formation of a new regiment?

You even openly broke into the camp of the Guards Cavalry Regiment and incited them to withdraw? even brought out the entire White Bear Regiment, the most courageous in the Guards Cavalry Regiment today. Are you trying to rebel?

So much trouble in just a few days after waking up. And now you want me to sign and stamp your documents for the formation of the new regiment? How do I cover it? ”

In the Duke's Palace, which Arthur gave to Zheng Ming, in a simple and simple room, Zheng Ming calmly looked at Lancelot, who broke through the door and roared loudly, and took a step back slightly to avoid the spit that splashed out.

"You don't have to worry about that. You just need to sign and stamp me. I'll convince Arthur personally. ”

"Zheng Ming! You give me enough to stop. Now that the king is fighting on the front lines, I have the right to make decisions since he has put the decision-making power in my hands. ”

"It seems that the words of this time have given you the illusion. You're just taking care of the king's affairs, and don't forget that Arthur is the king of this kingdom! ”

"Don't forget, you don't represent the king! Even Wang will weigh the pros and cons under pressure from all sides and make concessions. And not willful like you. ”

The two of them, whose voices were agitated and noisy, calmed down in the silent staring at each other. However, their expressions and eyes were telling each other about their firmness.

"If you don't agree, forget it. It's a big deal that I'll form a mercenary group. I'll convince him when Arthur comes back. ”

"Are you crazy? Where did a mercenary group of that size get the funding? The daily consumption of armor weapons, war horses, and people is all gold coins. You think it's easy to form your own corps? Are you trying to loot the financial reports of the nobles? I warn you, even if you affect the peace of the royal capital, I will not be relentless. ”

"You don't have to worry about it. I have my own access to wealth. ”

At this point, the controversy over the formation of the new corps finally came to an unpleasant end. It was only then that Lancelot noticed the rudimentary furnishings of the room. The wooden table, round chairs, and a bed were outrageously simple.

Noticing Zheng Ming, who had a cold tone and a clear attitude towards sending off guests, Lancelot sighed and persuaded aloud: "Why do you want to live in such a difficult environment? You have not been back to the palace since you woke up, and the queen is very worried about you. Isn't it good to go back to the royal palace and live in a comfortable palace? ”

However, what Lancelot didn't expect was that his consolation out of concern and ease of relationship was mercilessly rejected by the other party.

"No need. Although Gwenna and I have known each other for a long time and have always treated her as a sister, she is Arthur's wife after all. It is still necessary to take appropriate measures to avoid suspicion. lest there be bad rumors. ”

Zheng Ming's cold tone, as well as the eyes that only stared at Lancelot when he spoke, made Lancelot a little uncomfortable. He tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly embarrassed and walked out.

"I don't know if you've heard any rumors. The queen and I are innocent. ”

Lancelot left this sentence as he left the door and walked away.

……

In the next few days, Zheng Ming was busy with the affairs of the new corps. With the support of the Jinbei family, along with their allies and vassal families, Zheng Ming easily registered a nominal mercenary group. They were then dragged into the vacated barracks.

After the attrition of that war with the Dorn, and the successive losses over the years, the number of veterans remaining at this time was far less than the rest of the corps. There are only two commanders in his hands, one is Locke, who was reused by Arthur during the years he was in a coma. The strong, white bear-like man. The other is an old acquaintance, Seon.

Considering that even if the old commander Nine Fingers, who had been demoted to the place, rushed to hear the news, only three of them were less than he expected. Zheng Ming watched Locke, who had been dug up by himself, hit the idea to dig the wall.

After some investigation, there are two people who are quite capable in the memory. One was Lancelot's cousin; the ambitious Gerald, the other Garrel; The fat aristocrat who Zheng Ming couldn't even remember his name, the neat and capable man who put everything in order.

Zheng Ming's letter was quickly replied to. To his surprise, however, Garrell, who had not had a good time since the war, politely declined his invitation. However, Gerald, who relied on the blood of the Tulip family, decisively agreed to his invitation and said that he would bring an elite army that had experienced that war to him.

Now there are generals, veterans, and recruits are provided by the noble circle of the Jinbei family. It is worth mentioning that in order to truly train their own generals, the recruits they send are all soldiers with strong character and extremely high quality. Deeply satisfied by Zheng Ming.

At this point, the rudiments of the army are ready, and now the only thing lacking is those mage regiments that can be used to kill them in a wide area. However, this made Zheng Ming difficult. Folk mages are hard to find, and there are no large-scale organizations. Generally, it is a mode of master taking apprentices to travel and practice. Trying to touch them is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

And the court mages who often appear on the battlefield on a large scale are on the same page as Zheng Ming. If you want to convince them to join, then Zheng Ming might as well consider finding a folk mage.

After thinking about it, Zheng Ming finally found a way that was not a solution. He decided not to recruit mages and instead recruit players.

The player's abilities and combat modes are varied. There are definitely players with a huge killing range and a big way to fight. Players with a small kill range can also be recruited as soldiers and generals.

As soon as he thought of it, Zheng Ming once again appeared in the bar used for information exchange between players.

Deliberately avoiding the afternoon and evening hours, Zheng Ming appeared in the bar. However, when he revealed the identity of the Shadow of the Throne and told him that he wanted to form a legion, there was very little response. It was even ridiculed by veteran players.

"Don't listen to him, everybody. I'm a veteran player in this world for over a decade. Before his death, the old king made it clear that he could not be given military power. This was the news that was made public throughout the territory at that time. Newcomers, don't be stupid to follow the past, and count the money for others if they are deceived. ”

"Don't worry. Although it has not yet been formally established, it is only a mercenary group. However, the basic corps structure has been formed. I believe that with King Arthur's trust in me, as soon as he returns, he will be officially named a new legion. It's not too much at all, just change the name. ”

"Think about it. If King Arthur was really so relieved of him, more than ten years had passed, why did he only form a new army now? ”

Looking at the drunkard below with a scruffy beard and staring at the dead fish, frequently disagreeing with himself, and looking like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, Zheng Ming secretly gritted his teeth.

"I've formed a legion before. I'm sure everyone should have heard of the Guards Legion, that's what I formed. Now I just want to build a really strong army and make my name. It's not much different from before. ”

"Haha, you listen to him. I also said that I created the Guards......"

Just when Zheng Ming's forehead was bruised, and he couldn't help but want to teach the-stirring stick a good lesson, No. 12 appeared next to the other party and whispered something to him. Then I saw the man obediently close his mouth.

Turning his head to look at the counter, he found that No. 2 appeared there, and nodded at himself with a smile.

Next, Zheng Ming used all his strength to lobby, and no one sang against him, and suddenly he was much more relaxed. As for the contrarian drunkard, he also left the table in a hurry while Zheng Ming was speaking, and left quietly.

Finally, after Zheng Ming promised to exchange the accumulated values of military exploits for various treasures, ores, and crystals in the Kingdom Treasury and the Golden Cup Treasury, he finally got a response from all players.

"Next, I'll go back and find someone to make a detailed list. If you are willing to join, you can come to us at the original site of the Jinbei family military camp outside the royal capital in the west. Whether it's a legionary with a wide range of damage, a powerful general, or an Assassin scout with a knack for stealth, we're all welcome. ”

After leaving the conscription ground, Zheng Ming wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead and walked out of the bar.

However, Zheng Ming, who hurriedly wanted to escape, was arrested by No. 2, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

"Leaving in such a hurry? Don't have a drink? ”

"Ahem, no. There's a lot to do, and you can't get out of it. And also...... Forehead...... That one...... Thank you just now. ”

"Do you mean to advise drunkards not to go too far? That's what I'm supposed to do. Although fighting is forbidden in our bar, this kind of deliberate behavior of finding fault and exacerbating conflicts is also not allowed. ”

"Hmm...... Anyway, thank you. ”

The look of loss that flashed on No. 2's face made Zheng Ming, who was only thinking about getting out as soon as possible, slightly stunned. However, before he could come back to his senses, the face that had been pitiful before disappeared like an illusion, and changed back to his usual slightly colored smile.

Looking at the smile in front of him with red cheeks and exhaling like an orchid, Zheng Ming frowned lightly.

"Are you drunk?"

"Nope. I didn't drink. What's wrong? Are you worried about me? ”

Seeing No. 2 approaching with interest, asking himself in an almost flirtatious tone, Zheng Ming couldn't wait to slap himself.

Why does this mouth owe it so much? Asking for trouble.

While scolding his mouth in his heart, Zheng Ming took a few steps back and narrowed the distance.

"That...... I'll leave first. We'll talk about it later when we have a chance. ”

After hurriedly saying goodbye, Zheng Ming pulled his legs and ran, just looking at his eager attitude, it seemed that his house was on fire and he wanted to rush back.

No. 2 sighed as he looked at Zheng Ming's fading back, and then frowned.

"What the hell is going on?"

What really puzzled her was not the usual act of flirting with others, but her pounding heart and her feverish physical reaction.
