"No matter how devout the perpetrator's subsequent repentance may be, it does not alleviate his sin in the slightest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoBecause at the beginning of the violence, the victim's harm and suffering have become a fact and cannot be changed, let alone alleviated. ”

- Lester Crester

It has to be said that Leo's benevolent program and generous military pay have received good results, and the recruitment office can be described as a sensational head, in this era when most peasants do not have enough to eat, 1 gold coin issued on a monthly basis is enough for the family to live a comfortable life, so it attracts many men who think they have a lot of strength.

With the shortening of the team, soon the recruitment of 100 sword and shield soldiers was almost completed, and the requirements were very simple, as long as most of the people who were physically strong could be selected, as for the character of this thing, Leo never believed that he could roughly judge it at the beginning, and the problem personnel with bad problems could only be slowly eliminated in the daily life after that.

Soon, in the voice of dissatisfaction of the defeated crowd, the recruitment of sword and shield soldiers more than doubled the number, this is still under the intervention of Leo's soft heart, after three months of training, the remaining 200 people can really become soldiers, the rest will be used as reserve soldiers, in the next expansion of the army priority to become regular, of course, the salary of reserve soldiers is far less than that of the regular soldiers, only 20 silver coins.

As for the recruitment of crossbowmen, it is the source of the reason that bothers several people, although the hardware limitations of crossbows make most of the time, crossbowmen shoot in a straight line at a relatively close distance, but even if the requirements are lower than that of bows and arrows, they can be regarded as a technical class of troops in this era.

Due to the proximity of the battle distance to the bow and arrow, not only in terms of organization, coordination and courage, but also required soldiers to have a certain degree of predictive calculation ability, coupled with the fact that there is no winding device now, the requirements for the strength of soldiers are not weaker than those of swords and shields, all kinds of restrictions make the recruitment of crossbowmen almost delayed until dark, which is barely lowered the standard and the number of people is full.

"Write it down, old Garin, since the soldiers' physique is generally not optimistic, it is necessary to raise the army's food standards, convey the order to Commander Finn, and they will be responsible for formulating the corresponding standards, and all expenses will be directly paid by the Grand Duke's Mansion after I have seen them." Leo, who was somewhat disappointed, also knew that he couldn't be in a hurry, and explained a few words to the butler standing beside him.

At this time, Finn, who had been busy in front, walked back and reported to Leo, "My lord, the recruitment of the Grand Duke's new army has been completed, and under your order, the new army has a total of 252 people, including 202 sword and shield soldiers and 50 crossbow soldiers, do you need to exercise your right to name the army?" And let the recruits listen to your teachings? ”

Nodding, Leo did not hesitate, and blurted out his thoughts after thinking about it for a long time, "I order, the sword and shield soldiers are named [Champion Swordsmen], and the crossbowmen are named [Storm Wings], with 50 people as a battalion, 200 people as a regiment, and 1,000 people as the division standard for the legion, and the division of the rest of the squads, squadrons, etc., is up to the three of you to decide." ”

Walking up to the reading area specially set aside above the training ground, Leo looked at the black pressure below and some scattered phalanx, and the trace of regret in his heart just now disappeared in an instant, from now on these are the troops that belong to him, and belong to Leo's foothold in this world.

Trying to calm the excitement in his heart, Leo cleared his throat, and waited for the crowd in the audience, who had no discipline for the time being, to gradually calm down under the kicking of the Punishment Knights around him, and then said in a loud voice, "My soldiers, I am the owner of the Punishment Knights, the master of this land and the people, Storm Grand Duke Leo Zhang, I am different from most other nobles, I don't care what you say and call me, 'Your Excellency'?" 'My lord' is good for everything, you know, I don't care too much about that, here, I only have two requirements for you, and that is, loyalty! Loyal! Loyal! Obey! Obey! Obey! ”

Looking at the silent crowd below, Leo continued, "Repay my kindness with your loyalty, stick to your post with obedience, and I will give you a rich reward and dignity as a human being." After finishing speaking, he nodded to Fein and the others, Leo did not stop, and left the training ground directly accompanied by the butler and attendants, he just hoped that today's words could plant a good seed, and he did not dare to meet the standards of soldiers in his previous life, but only hoped that these people could have the consciousness of becoming professional soldiers, and could become the strongest in all armies in this plane.

After Leo left, the rest of the things had Finn's three to worry about, and handed over the professional things to professional people to do, Leo never easily intervened in areas that he was not familiar with, communicated with the housekeeper a few words, and asked some questions about the garrison camp that had just been built in the west of the city, as well as basic food and bedding and daily necessities, after getting a satisfactory answer, Leo hurried back to his Grand Duke's mansion, and now Stormwind City is a period of rapid development, and there are too many things for him to decide.

Well, Itsev and Rhodes should also be part of this army, one is a Slavic hunter who can't do anything but serve in the army, and the other is a fantasy boy who definitely doesn't want to be a farmer anymore, the two rush to Stormwind City to have a comfortable meal, and then in the boring wandering around get the news of recruitment, high military salaries, and hearsay that Leo is a benevolent lord, so that the two who are worried about the future join Leo's army as soon as their heads are hot, It's just that Izev, who is a marksman himself, goes to Stormwings, while Rhodes, who aims for a strong warrior, goes to the champion swordsman.

It's just that everyone, including Leo, didn't pay attention to it, a pair of eyes hidden in the shadows inadvertently discovered Itsef and Rod, with a caravan leaving Stormwind City before the city gate closed, it probably won't be long before the news that these two swept the face of Duke Orlando will reach the ears of the duke, and Leo, who has no intention of taking in the two, will play a role in the upcoming storm?

Leo, who didn't know anything, returned to the mansion, first quickly signed a few documents under the introduction of the butler, and after a few glances at the gift list presented to the caravan, Leo called the system to open the personal information

As Leo expected, there were some more things in the system, there was no big surprise in the legion, and the rest of the vacancies were displayed behind the knights, which made Leo have some illusions, could it be that as the welfare of the traversers, he could have more than one knight under his command? 、

And the prestige that has not changed for many days has also been significantly improved, and the biggest benefit brought by Leo should be the arena in Leo's opinion, which means that Leo can increase his prestige and influence by holding a competitive conference in the future, which is the fastest way under the premise of sufficient money.

Then there is the opening of the honor system, so that Leo has to carefully consider the impact, otherwise it will be more than worth the loss to make the people in the entire continent hate under the wanton behavior......
