Thick black clouds obscured the sky at some point, and the howling north wind swept across the Nasser Plain, and the goose-feathered snowflakes suddenly fell in large swaths, turning the earth white in an instant.

It was a quiet winter day with heavy snow and a good day to snuggle up and drink at home, but a sprawling estate on the outskirts of Nasser suddenly boiled over.

"Hurry up, let's go immediately, you idiot, don't want a carriage, bring the war horse over......."

"Two horses each, with food, tents, and clothes thick enough, we will march continuously until Lorraine, and if anyone is left behind, we will not wait!"

"Damn it, I hate this terrible weather, aren't they afraid of falling to death when riding horses in this weather?"

A group of young knights rushed out of the hall of the manor's mansion, shouting to their servants and servants to prepare supplies and equipment for their continuous march, and everyone scrambled to be the first, lest they fall behind.

On such snowy days, carriages were undoubtedly safer and more comfortable than horseback riding, but they invariably chose the more dangerous, more sinful, but faster way.

And all because of everything that just happened in the lobby of the residence.

Charles helped two knights awaken into transcendents in a row and became real "knights", and appointed three "battalion commanders" on the spot, making others envious and regretful.

Charles then showed the remaining ten bottles of Psychic Induction Elixir in the suitcase, and gave them how to obtain them and the criteria.

Charles wants to form the Lorraine Legion, and he has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, and whoever brings in a battalion of 500 people will be eligible for a chance to awaken and transcend.

Of course, these 500 people must be men of appropriate age in Lorraine, and they must not be old, weak, sick or disabled, and there must be no armed conflict in the process of conscription, and it is necessary to ensure that the soldiers' families will not have difficulties in their survival because of the soldiers' enlistment, and if anyone commits one of them, then the opportunity to become transcendent will be lost forever.

There are only ten bottles of potions, first come, first served, whoever fills the team of five hundred people first will have the potion will be theirs, and the rest of the people can only wait for the next batch of awakening opportunities who don't know the Year of the Monkey.

Dozens of young people who wanted to be transcendent and crazy panicked at that time, and one ran faster than the other, and set off in the snow overnight to go straight to Lorraine.

Many people have been careful that as long as they go back one step ahead of others, they can recruit more "outsiders" to join the army, and their own leaders will have to farm for themselves, and they will not be recruited if they can not be recruited.

Anyway, the Earl said that even if you go to the territory of those traitors to rob people, His Majesty the King will not care, as long as you have the ability, the lord who killed them will also carry it for you.

A few clever knights soon formed several hills, ready to unite to rob people in the territory of several traitors, they are all local nobles of Lorraine, and the power and heritage accumulated over the years, although most of them were tossed by Charles Chevalier, but there is still hope for relying on the help of the family to pull up a team.

Charles and Olive stood in front of the second-floor window of the manor's main house, watching a group of knights rush out of the manor's gates, one smug and the other worried.

"Charles, you have not told them the king's full intentions, what shall we do if they unite against you in the future?"

Olive was worried, she already knew part of Charles' conversation with King Ruthalf on New Year's Eve, and was extremely opposed to Charles' attempt to "accept the reorganization".

But Charles is the first brother in the family, and the second-in-command opposition is ineffective at all, so under Charles's inducement, he has to turn to ideas to help Charles reduce the risk and fully support Charles's new plan.

"Olive may be right about the king's intentions, but it will be very difficult to realize, it will take at least a few decades to complete the centralization of power, so we don't need to make all the king's intentions public at once, His Majesty the king wants to change slowly, and I am willing to change slowly, maybe it won't take a few decades, and the world will be completely different. ”

"The world is completely different?"

It is incomprehensible to Charles's metaphor that the little girl is very smart, but she cannot predict where the world will go.

However, Olive is now fully supportive of Charles, and she asks Charles firmly, "Then what should I do for you?"

"What to do for me?...... Alas........"

Charles sighed, touched the top of the little girl's head, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Olive, I originally wanted you to go to school and enjoy the fun of growing up happily, but now you have to help me do something, first of all, to keep the Lorraine Army firmly in our own hands." ”

Charles had already planned that the Lorraine Legion could fight for Florens, but it must not be out of his control, Rousseff wanted to integrate the concentration of power in Florence through reform, and why not seek an opportunity to integrate the entire Lorraine, eradicate the nobles who were in the way, and hold all the power of Lorraine in his hands?

"This ...... It shouldn't be difficult, Lorraine is the legacy of our ancestors, the people of Lorraine have regarded us as lords since birth, if the Lorraine army is all Lorraine, we have unshakable prestige, if you can still give them extraordinary opportunities like today, it shouldn't be very difficult. ”

Suddenly puzzled, Olive asked Charles, "How many spiritual power induction potions do you have?If those ten are used up, will there be any more?, do we really want to let them get a chance to be transcendent so easily?"

"Olive Live, there used to be dozens of transcendents in our family, but now there are only a few, are we going to accumulate one or two, two or three a year like before? ”

"Well, but will His Majesty allow us to control the army in this way, if he uses any strong means to ......?"

"He's not going to be too tough, he's going to be slow like he used to...... Seduce me!"

............

............

In the small hall on the first floor of the Isai Palace, Roself was sitting on a chair, looking at Wembley Augustine in front of him.

The two of them stood one after another at this time, looking more like monarchs and ministers than father and son.

"Father, the Marquis of Lorraine has been loyal to the Chevalier family for generations, many Lorraine people only know Chevalier but not Augustine, and now we finally have the opportunity to interrupt the rule of the Chevalier family, why do you want to allow him to inherit the title of Marquis?"

"Wembley, do you think you're qualified to question me?"

“.......”

Rousseff's cold words made the justified Wembley tremble in his heart, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

"I know that in a few decades, the people of Lorraine will not be able to forget the prestige of the Chevalier family, so I want to change it in a special way, so that the people of Lorraine will become familiar with us Augustine, and let them know that it is we Augustine who will bring them food and power. ”

"I ...... Can't understand your intentions father......"

Rosseff glanced at his son lightly, and said casually: "I will provide a part of the spiritual power induction potion to those Lorraine soldiers, so that they know that our Augustine is the supreme commander of the Lorraine Legion, and they can only obtain extraordinary power by following our Augustine family." ”
