427 Dark Exchange of Interests (10/12)

Between citizens and non-citizens, how big the difference in treatment is, this can be seen from the Sycamore, although the Sycamore enjoys the advantages in all aspects, not only because of Adele citizenship, but also to show how many benefits there will be after having the nationality of a country.

Enjoying the social welfare benefits of the Principality of Ander, tax exemptions, buying houses, opening shops, hiring servants, and buying slaves are all things that players have dreamed of for a long time, and the most important thing is that after becoming a citizen, they can truly have the right to form parties and associations freely.

Of course, not every citizen can form a party and association, and having the right does not mean that he has the ability and qualification to exercise power, which is a matter of fact to the players who have a deep understanding in reality, and naturally knows that if there is not enough identity, status, rights, power, relationship network and strong financial resources, even if an organization is formed, it is just for others to make a wedding dress.

Therefore, in this regard, players need to have more in-depth interaction with some special aborigines.

In general, the news announced by Viscount Dibia has boosted the morale of the players again, and the players who originally resisted those monsters still have some reservations, and the players who were sneaking around the water suddenly burst out with amazing combat effectiveness, one by one they attacked the monsters who rushed up in droves without fear of death, and even some spellcasters, after exhausting their energy and finishing the spell, they also picked up their weapons with red eyes and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with monsters!

This phenomenon frightened Viscount Dibia, who didn't expect that it was just a conscription order that would stimulate the fighting passion of these outsiders, which he couldn't understand at all, it was just a soldier's status and civic treatment, could he use such a desperate effort?

But as an aborigine, he doesn't understand that players are afraid of death.

Incomprehensible, he shook his head, the matter of conscription, naturally his griffin knights were in charge, he brought a total of more than a thousand griffin knights, a whole team of 1,000 people, the lowest are 3rd order quasi-intermediate knights, and those who can be the captain of the squad are 4th order intermediate knights!

As for the captain of the 100-person squadron and above, the knight who has the [Black Iron Griffin] Badge of Honor issued by Her Majesty himself must be eligible to serve as a knight, and the captain of the 1,000-person person must reach at least the quasi-high-level strength of the 5th order, and obtain the [Bronze Griffin] Badge of Honor, and only the knight with the title of baron or above can take the role.

Any one of these people is placed in the ordinary army, and they are all in the role of the force commander, and let them be responsible for the formation of the temporary escort force of Auraon, of course, there is no problem at all.

Each Griffin Knight will organize a thousand-strong warband, and once successfully trained, the regular soldier army alone will be as high as a million people!

As for the fact that these people have not been trained in war, the actual combat training is it, anyway, they are all outsiders, and using blood to hone them is always the fastest training method, if they can survive, they will naturally be able to get the rewards they deserve, and if they are unfortunate enough to hang up, rest assured! The royal family of Adele will instruct the relevant departments to be responsible for collecting the body.

And those adventurers who are not willing to be restrained by the army, but just go for the reward, naturally have a subordinate force such as the Knights of the Law Enforcer to be responsible for restraining them, and become mercenaries with temporary surnames, which can be regarded as auxiliary soldiers, and the rewards and treatment they can receive are naturally half a level worse than that of regular soldiers, and the only advantage is that after the battle, they will not be bound by Andele's army.

There are even lazier ones, who don't even want to participate in the battle, for fear of losing their soul energy points if they hang up and lose their soul energy points, and just want to mix up the battle participation award and get a citizen guy, they will be organized by the guards of the Auraon Guard Army, acting as logistics and labor, responsible for transporting supplies and building defenses, anyway, don't want to be idle.

Seeing that the griffin knights began to form a brigade directly under their command, Lin Linling and half a cigarette came behind Wutong and asked in a low voice, "Are we going to join that?" ”

Wutong hesitated when he heard this, if he looked at the rewards, it was naturally better to be a regular soldier, joining the army, not only a variety of treatment and rewards were rich, but also able to learn the unique skills of the army, and obtain sophisticated standard military equipment, but once he joined the army, he lost his freedom and had to obey orders, and the game mode was automatically converted to another form.

In this way, it will be quite unfavorable to the development of "Secret Shadow", but it is those scattered players who have nothing to worry about, and the poor can't go on, it is very cost-effective to choose this game mode of refuge in the organization, and wait until "retirement", maybe you can mix a knight, a quasi-knight, and a lord's "second-class noble" identity, if you "serve" in the process, you can get a battle medal, maybe you can also be awarded a knight, earn a piece of "knight collar", and use it as your own one-acre and three-point private land.

Just as he was hesitating, Viscount Dibia, who had already arranged the affairs, suddenly made a vague gesture to Wutong, signaling Wutong to go with him, Wutong froze for a moment, left Sarasi and them to stay with Lin Linling and them, and then followed Viscount Dibia to the camp of the Knights of the Enforcers of Aoraon City.

Viscount Dibia did not ride his extraordinarily tall griffin, but held the reins loosely and walked side by side with Sycamore, who looked back at the majestic creature from time to time with some envy.

A male surnamed griffin with more than one person tall on his shoulders and feet knows at a glance that it is at least a powerful creature of the 5th order, and the one who can ride this adult 5th order griffin must also have a combat power of more than 5th order, don't look at Viscount Dibia is a nobleman, but he is also a strong 5th order knight!

In the medieval context of "Endless", the nobles usually have knightly titles, speaking of which, the knighthood is like an identity, while the knighthood is more like some kind of high-ranking military rank, like Viscount Dibia, whose "title" is "viscount", and his "knighthood" is "Knight Captain [Bronze Griffin], which is a special military rank in the Royal Griffin Order, which is only used in the Royal Griffin Order, and cannot be used in other knights.

And a spellcaster like Sycamore, although he also has a noble title, it is obvious that he belongs to the "civilian" and generally does not have the rank of knight.

Between knights and knights, between knights and knights, the status gap is also very large, knights riding 4th-order griffons must have a higher status than knights riding 2nd order war horses, "Royal Griffin Knights" in the knights of the Duchy of Andère, the status can only be ranked third, and the second is the "Royal Dragon Eagle Knights" who ride the 6th-order creature dragon eagle.

"If I'm not mistaken, Baron Sycamore shouldn't have been canonized as a knight yet, right?" After walking for a while, Viscount Dibia suddenly asked Wutong with a smile in a casual tone of casual chatter.

Wutong withdrew his gaze from the griffin beside him, and nodded in surprise: "Yes, I'm just a beginner mage, and there will be knights there." Besides, the cost of raising a knight is too great for me to support myself. ”

Viscount Dibia nodded and laughed, joking without being disgusted: "How come? Isn't there an Andelle slang saying 'The mage is the richest man in the world'? ”

At the mention of this sycamore, he was depressed: "Why don't you say that the second half of that slang sentence is, 'But the poorest people in the world are richer than mages!'" 'What?' ”

Viscount Dibia smiled and said, "It will get better soon, as far as I know, Her Majesty has given Baron Wutong a territory of 150 square kilometers this time, which is enough to feed your loyal knights and soldiers." ”

Sycamore was shocked! A territory of 150 square kilometers? How can it be!? Wutong, who has read books related to [Knowledge]-[Nobility and the Imperial Family], has a considerable understanding of the rules of the nobles, and although the situation is different from country to country, it is generally similar.

For example, the lowest [baron] title in the [high nobility] is divided into three classes "barons of the first class, barons of the second class, and barons of the third class", plus a buffer zone between the [lower nobility] and the [high nobility] [barons], that is, [quasi-barons].

Usually, the fief of the [second-class baron] is 10~20 square kilometers at most, with 20 knightly domains under its jurisdiction, and 20 knights can be canonized by themselves.

Even if Wutong is promoted to the title, it is only from [second-class baron] to [third-class baron], at most 50 square kilometers of fiefdom, under the jurisdiction of 50 knights, can canonize 50 knights.

But he is a [third-class baron], but he has a fief equivalent to [first-class baron] of 150 square kilometers, which is simply an incredible thing!

Could it be the discovery of the source of the plague in Fairhaven City and the reward for saving the princess? But that's a little too rich, isn't it?

Without waiting for Wutong to ask, Viscount Dibia said with a smile: "Speaking of which, you have to hurry up and recruit soldiers, otherwise after you get the territory, there will be no soldiers to protect your territory."

Wutong was stunned for a moment, Viscount Dibia seemed to be hinting at something, maybe seeing that Wutong didn't understand what he meant, Viscount Dibia simply lowered his voice straightforwardly, and whispered to Wutong: "This time in the defense battle of Aoraon New City, Her Majesty has granted me the special right to recruit people from among the outsiders to form a new legion, since Baron Wutong has not recruited soldiers yet, you might as well recruit some from these outsiders, although they are only some low-level professionals of the first order, But it is better than selecting soldiers from among the stupid peasants at that time, and the main thing is that these outsiders are not dragged down by their families, they will not run away because of cowardice when they fight, and they have a certain combat effectiveness, which is far stronger than the peasant soldiers."

Public power for private use!

Sycamore was stunned, was Viscount Dibia courting him? But a viscount of the family, using a [second-class baron] to him, well, even if he returned to Fairhaven, met with Her Majesty, and obtained the title and reward of [third-class baron], it was just a fictitious [third-class baron], and he did not hold any public office in the Duchy of Andère, why should a viscount please him?

Wutong's mind turned quickly, but his face looked like surprise: "Is it okay?" Won't that cause trouble for you, Viscount Dibia? ”

"Of course not, Baron Sycamore, you are a nobleman of the principality, and it is your duty to contribute to the principality! I also want to thank you for being able to share the responsibility for me."

Viscount Dibia said impassionedly: "But as a nobleman, I can't always watch the nobles of the principality in danger, and Baron Sycamore also needs the protection of his subordinates, right?" ”

"Thank you so much! Your kindness and generosity are like the Holy Spirit, and if you need me to be of service to you, please do not hesitate."

Wutong flattered each other with the hypocritical words that nobles used to use among themselves, and at the same time tried to recall that he was worthy of such a stutter from the other party. Behind him, the ** teachers of Zemmour and the ** teachers of the Venane Academy?

"Well, I really need Baron Sycamore's help with something." Viscount Dibia smiled brightly at Wutong with a little excitement.

"It's coming!" The sycamore who secretly said in his heart was waiting for the other party to make a condition.

"I heard that Baron Sycamore and the Cannes family have business dealings, if it's convenient, I wonder if you can introduce 'me' to Butler Stark?"

Viscount Debia looked at Sycamore expectantly, and even stopped moving forward, causing the griffon beside him to let out a few low "cooing" noises in dissatisfaction.

Hearing the word "I" that Viscount Dibia can aggravate, Wutong suddenly realized that his purpose was this, Cannis, the dragon family who controls half of Andele's economy, and the special surname of Andle is self-evident, although the other party's head of the family, Yolana, is only a baron with an honorary surname, but it is not something that Viscount Dibia can climb.

If it was his father [Wilshire] King of the county, Kans of the Cancy family. Angstrom. The Duke of Cancy may still be able to negotiate affairs with Yolana on an equal footing, but he is a "sixth in line to the throne", and although he was invited to the Cannes family banquet, he did not even have the opportunity to talk to Baroness Yolana more.

That's why he came to show favor to Sycamore, he was at the banquet, but he saw with his own eyes the cordial attitude of Baroness Yolana and Stark's butler towards Sycamore, coupled with Sycamore's status as a disciple of Zemmour's ** master, it was enough for him to bet on Sycamore.

Although he is a quasi-high-ranking [Bronze Griffin] Knight Captain of the Royal Griffin Knights, he is also a high-ranking power, but after all, he is only the "sixth heir", and he is only in command of a thousand people, and his brothers also have the position of Knight Captain in the "Royal Griffin Knights".

In particular, his elder brother of the [Silver Griffin] Grand Knight, who is the "first heir" and has the responsibility of managing the "Royal Gryphon Knights" on behalf of their father and acting as the head of the group, is even more in charge of the four griffon brigades alone, and the other heirs in line to the throne will not be able to raise their heads at all, if he doesn't make any efforts, I am afraid that the title of Duke of the Cancy family will fall on the heads of others.

"If there is an opportunity, be sure to refer, be sure to refer."

Wutong and Viscount Dibia smirked "tacitly", since the other party has something to ask for, it will be easy to do, others gave him such a big gift, just to introduce it, it seems to be a good deal, the exchange of interests.

"In this case, Baron Sycamore should go and choose the soldier you like, and I will also go to the guard post to command the defense."

Viscount Dibia got Wutong's promise, and immediately patted Wutong's shoulder enthusiastically, hinting: "Don't be too 'stingy', 150 square kilometers of territory is enough for you to support enough soldiers, recruit more, after all, in this battle to defend the new city of Auraang, there will also be battle losses and casualties!" It's always good to recruit a few more reservists. ”

Nima! This guy simply has the right not to expire, and he actually hinted generously to others that Wutong can recruit more "territorial soldiers" than the standard, think about it, with his [third-class baron] title, the soldiers originally recruited only used to guard 50 square kilometers of territory, but now that he has 150 square kilometers of territory, the manpower is greatly insufficient, that is, he must at least recruit more than 3 times the "exceedance" of the troops to be enough, and according to the meaning of Viscount Dibia, prepare another "reserve" It's okay too.

How many private arms can a [3rd Baron] have? He can canonize 50 knights on his own, one knight can have 2 knight servants, the so-called [trainee knight], and he can also have a squadron of 100 cavalry subordinates!

That is, he can have a total of 50 knights, 100 midshipmen, and 5000 cavalrymen!!

This is not counting the number of militias that the lord can recruit at will in his territory, if he can afford it, he can completely recruit all the people in his territory into militia!

Nima that rub! Although the number of knights who need to be officially registered cannot be increased at will, cavalry and trainee knights can! According to Viscount Dibia, three times plus the same number of "reserves" would have been enough to recruit 30,000 private soldiers!!

gasped, this amount is enough to launch a regional surname rebellion!

The most important thing is that these private armed forces are treated like regular soldiers and are recognized by the Adele royal family!

In this way, Lin Linling and Half a cigarette and Pastoral Wind Flower will not have to worry about whether to choose to join the regular army or mercenaries, and directly become Wutong's private army, and they can enjoy the treatment of the regular army!
