"Of course it needs to be done. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info As long as this is the case, when I ask the soldiers of the Legion, 'Whose food do you eat and whose pay do you receive?' they say, 'Eat the food of Lord Berencaster!' Get paid by Lord Belencaster! Only then, when necessary, can they be trusted for their reliability and loyalty. Lu Xi responded to his subordinates' doubts in such a natural tone.

“…… So, what exactly is a necessary time? This man, who was a little older and had the rank of federal major, felt that the other party should have told a joke with a very cultural and historical background, but he really couldn't get it and couldn't laugh, so he could only look at Lu Xi with a very helpless gaze.

He must have wanted to ask, but after hesitating for a few seconds, he finally didn't speak.

"We have only known each other for more than two months, and the appointment of you as my Warden by Mr. Valerius represents absolute trust in you, both in strength and knowledge." Lu Xi looked at this uncle, who was about fifty years old, with blonde hair that was beginning to turn white, a pair of gray-blue eyes, and a three-dimensional sense of statue on his facial features, with the appearance of a typical Oakland Empire Hilorian nobleman, and said with a smile: "Uncle Derens trusts you, the wind trusts you, and of course I can't be an exception." Now that it's just the two of us, it's important to know what you have to say. ”

Yes, a level 76 Saint Laurent knight of the 6th order of gold, even if there is an additional level 23 mercenary class full number, I fully understand your ability through this.

"Your Excellency, although the training is hard...... Well, it's also a bit monotonous, but I understand that this level of discipline and physical training is really necessary to turn a group of civilians into an iron army in a short period of time. He said sincerely: "The training and drill book you personally wrote is more professional and accurate than I imagined, and if it is leaked, it may become a treasure that is sought after by all countries." ”

"It's a prize, but it's certainly not a treasure. There is nothing too subtle about my training manual, at most it is the level of physical training at the beginning of some swordsmanship schools. The only difference is that it occupies almost all of the soldier's time, and naturally it also needs to consume a lot of physical strength and energy, and if the nutrition can't keep up, it's over. Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "However, how many countries in this world can really maintain such high-intensity training of tens of thousands of people and the high-consumption supplies required?" ”

The feeling of standing upstream and crushing downstream is indeed amazing!

"That's where I have to warn you." He sighed slightly: "...... So far, in just one month, we have spent 1.5 million bakers on food, and I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but it's more than 30,000 golden milas, and more than 60 percent of this is paid by you personally. ”

"Oh, Mr. Valerius, what can be solved with money has never been a problem. I thought we had a consensus on this point. Lu Xi raised his eyebrows: "You should say that it only took 30,000 meters and a month, and this group of rookies with vegetables on their faces can at least see a little muscle on their bodies, and their faces are much more ruddy and healthy." ”

"Okay...... I'm really unprofessional when it comes to the use of money and food, especially when compared to you. He nodded in acknowledgement, not ready to stick to his point, but he was still standing still, not ready to leave.

"Yes, my honorable lord, I solemnly beseech you to reassess my appointment." He was like a green pine when he stood upright, more like a soldier than ninety-nine percent of the members of the new legion.

Valerius? Sanskrit? Egripa, this is what he called himself, and it is also the name that Lu Xi recorded on the roster of soldiers for him. After seeing this name, the old brigadier general, who is currently serving as the camping officer of the legion, and to put it bluntly, is the head of personnel, he was stunned on the spot, and there was suddenly a trace of indescribable elements in his eyes.

“…… It's just a branch of Aaron Deripa's last breath. I used to be just a mercenary, and always have been. Facing the questioning of the federal officer, but in fact, it was more of a curious gaze, this man who was a little older and obviously had noble blood, scratched his head helplessly, and seemed to be a little distressed. At this time, he is a typical old mercenary captain who has been mixed in the rivers and lakes for a long time, although he has unique skills, although he has rich experience in a hundred battles, but when facing the rookie officers of the regular armies of the countries and the bear children of the aristocratic families, he can still instantly show the flattery and humility of a small trader.

In any case, it must be a long story to be a descendant of a super-famous family (even a branch) that has disappeared from the history of the Oakland Empire, but to become a member of Uncle Derens's transnational terrorist organization. However, according to Hurricane, in the organization, this "Uncle Vale", who was born into the Oakland knight noble, is the sixth person in the organization after the Four Heavenly Kings of the Implied Legion, and is also one of the best double-flowered red sticks in the organization. He is very good at leading troops and training soldiers, and once trained a group of green-skinned small ruffians into quite strong professional mercenaries, and for a long time he flattened the invincible opponent of Neos Fia's black (meow) road, and even the black (meow) road overlord at that time Dalester's family did not dare to be an enemy with it, and could only discuss cooperation and peaceful coexistence. In short, he is indeed the first generation of heroes of the organization.

It's just that the embarrassment of a son of heaven and a courtier will appear in any era, Drens? Talos was completely hollowed out by his own disciples, his old courtiers...... Well, of course, it wasn't purged by the wind, but under the leadership of the second-generation big boss Miss Wind, an international terrorist organization composed of black (meow) roads, mercenaries and smugglers has transformed into a real large-scale joint chamber of commerce in the white road. Of course, if you are the type of person who can go in and out of both civil and military affairs, then naturally everything is not a problem.

However, Mr. Valerius has not yet reached this level after all. It would be a bit hypocritical to say that he was "born for war", but compared to the peaceful daily life, it is indeed a bit of a military struggle. Although Hurricane "cleansed" Uncle Drense's team, she has always been kind in terms of material treatment - this may be one of the reasons why the financial situation of the organization has been very worrying before Lu Xi - she gave this "former" knight with a very good story at first glance, a fairly generous annuity, even if he did nothing in Neosfia, it was enough to maintain the standard of living of the whole family in high society. However, Mr. Valerius's whole mental condition has inexplicably languished, and he looks like he has lost his passion for life and the meaning of existence.

…… Well, anyway, even if you can't say that "he was born for war" is pretentious and secondary, but Mr. Valerius is not yet sixty years old, and it is indeed a pity for a person of high extraordinary strength to retire like this. Think of that Grissa, nicknamed "Star Eyes"? Lady Elstein now has the status of a sword-wielding viscount, and is in charge of the training and establishment of the two new Auckland Forbidden Army Corps, and it is said that when this work is completed, she will also enter the Oakland Privy Council to hold the important position of minister. However, when she met the current Queen of Auckland, wasn't she also at her current age? Then the second spring of the career began, or rather, the pinnacle of the career in the real sense.

Yes, for all real strengths, the age of fifty can only be regarded as a school graduate, the age of fifty-five can be regarded as a fledgling, and the age of sixty is the time to truly develop their ambitions!

So, when the wind appeared before him, and asked him if he would like to work under "a nobleman who is on the rise, and needs to establish sufficient merits on the battlefield, and therefore needs a group of good retainers", Mr. Valerius was very touched by the great kindness of "Lord Drens, and Miss Wind", and then reluctantly, and at the same time did not hesitate to pack his bags and prepare to leave, and brought with him the youngest son who was most suitable for his heart, just as his father had taught, He was already completely able to eat with swords and fists - plus a few old brothers in the organization, a total of ten people in the group.

With this group of people who have been on the rivers and lakes back then...... Ah no, the veteran ruffian who left behind the legend, Lu Xi's retainers finally seem to be much more abundant. In fact, with Lu Xi's current status, status, and power, there are already many friends who can trust and entrust them to fight side by side, but there are really not many retainers who can order them to be sent to death...... Didn't you see when the sons and daughters born in the Commonwealth of the Alpha family went on the expedition? They tend to dress themselves up like peacocks, and then they are surrounded by a large flock of quails and ducks.

What, you said that there is a limit to the number of people the Federation can support for magicians? That's right! But the Federation is still a country where private soldiers are legal. I didn't let your government pay for it, so what's the problem with bringing a hundred of your own retainers when you go to war? Moreover, we don't want to take our own retainers to fight for the country for a penny, this is clearly self-helping...... Ah no, true patriots! What are you talking about!

Unified military order? Prohibition by order? What is that, and is it edible? They don't receive a salary and are not federal soldiers, so why should they obey federal military law?

Now you know why the Federation claims to be the first army in the world to complete the reform of military centralization, the civilized army of the beacon of hope for freedom, the army of benevolence, but it has been ridiculed by the "eagle dogs of the royal aristocracy" in Oakland as a "boy scout of bear children"?

Although Mr. Valerius is secretive about his past, the profession of "Knight of Saint Laurent" really exposes many problems, and at first glance he is a high-achieving student who has gone to the world's best, most complete and rigorous officer training. So, on the day he just brought everyone to Lu Xi and swore allegiance to him, Lu Xi gave the other party the only major rank he could bestow on the spot. Moreover, he also forced the generals of the Fourth Army to unanimously approve the appointment of the warden in an almost brutal manner.

"Isn't that too radical?" Valerius disagreed, and it was not polite.

"I'm just a newcomer. Whether as a member of the Confederation, or as a retainer of your family, you are still a newcomer, your lord...... The newcomers will take high positions, which will bring great hidden dangers. In private, he has always referred to Lu Xi in this slightly dramatic way, looking like an Auckland standard knight warrior.

In fact, if you really think of yourself as Auckland, you actually have to call yourself "Your Highness", well, even "Your Majesty" doesn't seem to be a big problem.

"If I were a famous adventurer or swordsman, like Lady Griesa, it would be a matter of course, but I still have self-knowledge. In Lord Derens's time, most of what I did was something unseemly, and it would be foolish to leave a great name. He behaved calmly, fully demonstrating the honest virtues of being a knight.

"Grant and Bull are good boys and don't care. As for Lim...... Well, she probably can't even spell your name and face right now. ”

"We all know what the problem is, my lord!"

The Fourth Army exceeded 40,000 at its peak in history, and even now, according to Lu Xi's request to be on par with the First and Second Army Corps, there should be more than 30,000 people. This consisted of about twenty-five thousand infantry units, each of which should have been about one thousand to one thousand two hundred men, plus five cavalry wings, and a winged scout wing. But so far, although the shelves of the 25 infantry units of 1,000 people have been erected, although the officers have arrived, the soldiers are far from being fully staffed, and there are still many inferior soldiers who are crooked and cracked, yellow-skinned, and thin and unsuitable for serving as soldiers.

Of course, some people have heard Lu Xi? Berencaster's name is sour, and the big men who tremble at the sight of the Sky Rose Banner are behind their backs, but the Federation's military resources and mobilization have always been very problematic, and this is also an inevitable fact.

However, in comparison, the five flying cavalry wings, that is, 1,500 cavalrymen, and the 300 wingmen of a wingman scout wing, were all fully assembled, and their quality and morale were quite good. It is not surprising that the infantry can make cannon fodder for temporary mobilization, but the cavalry is at least semi-professional servicemen, and this is true in all eras.

More importantly, according to the military order system of the Federal Corps, all infantry units will be under the command of three or four brigadier generals or major generals, but the cavalry wing and wingman scouts are directly subordinate to the headquarters, that is, directly under the corps commander. And the person responsible for the communication, deployment, and military order transmission between the commander of the corps and this directly subordinate force is the so-called warden chief. When necessary, the Legion Warden even had the power to directly take over the command of all cavalry, and his orders took precedence even over the Deputy Commander and Chief of Staff.

This is a very important position, in the legion system of the Federation, the legion leader will be the kind of Arcane nobleman who is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains and grains in many cases, and may be able to rub a big fireball and kill a hundred people in an instant, but he will be blind if he commands more than ten people. In this case, the warden needs a veteran and experienced professional soldier to serve as the ...... Fortunately, perhaps because of the rich experience of wiping the butts of these magical bear children, it may be difficult to give birth to the kind of military wizards who are full of wit and skill in the Federal Army, but there is no shortage of practical and steady officer candidates.

Originally, the candidate for the head of the stable should be a candidate recommended by the military department, and it is said that he is a rare and pragmatic and capable battlefield general in the aristocratic sect, but he was directly pushed back by Lu Xi.

"A lot of people are very unhappy with your decision." The old knight frowned and replied, "If it is my appointment that you are in control of this army and have a bad impact, it will be too much to lose. ”

"Someone is in tandem trying to embarrass me, is that right?" Lu Xi said with a smile.

“…… Although I think these people are really a little unwise, after all, people have a fluke mentality, and they always feel that the law is not responsible for the public. The old knight pondered for a moment, and then said, "After all, the general needs officers to control the soldiers, and sometimes, maybe a certain amount of compromise is also needed, my lord." ”

"The rats are together to keep warm, and they never think that they can challenge the lion, right? In this world, there are always people who are not as good as rats. However, it is precisely because of such people that I can better control this legion. Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders and smiled dangerously: "Unfortunately, Mr. Valerius, this time, I will not take your advice. ”

Before his words fell, the voice of the Minotaur Bull came from outside the curtain: "Shao...... Ah, Your Excellency the Legion Commander, you have prepared everything according to your command! ”
