Chapter 06: Fifth Squad (3)
The so-called heaven will descend on the people, and they must first ...... Ahem, sorry, I got the wrong script.
In short, opportunities are for those who are prepared. Occasionally, however, I will find someone who is not prepared, or who is not so well prepared. For example, Elwin.
You have to admit that the skill points of the Knight, the Captain of the Knights, and the Captain of the Knights Detachment are not exactly the same, and sometimes they are even very different. Knights only need to be able to fight, the captain of the knight detachment needs to be able to deploy the team, and the captain of the knight needs to know logistics, strategy, and various internal management work. As an independent captain of the Knights, Alwyn is nominally the captain of the Knights, but in fact he needs the skills of the Knights.
"Hmm...... Let me carefully recall how the Captain formed the Knights of the Silver Moon in the first place...... Oh, and come to think of it, he's a lich, so with a wave of his hand, he summons an undead knighthood. Thank goodness that I don't have anything to refer to. Maybe I should suggest that Simon just summon an undead knighthood, but what would I do in that case?"
Alvin's skull was about to be scratched.
All night, he lay in his bed tossing and turning, listening to the occasional strange noise coming from Simon's room. And, of course, his father's intermittent screams.
Although the Lich has now walked the world, and the idea of a murderous mansion is no longer so popular, their home really resembles a murderous mansion now.
Maybe it's just that, after all, it's really a "ghost".
When the sky was gray, he came to Simon's door with a pair of dark eyes, and then knocked on the door.
The door slowly opened, with a screeching sound of "babbling", as if it had been blown open by the wind. Then a dim light came out of it.
Alwyn saw Simon sitting at his desk and slowly turned his head.
Forehead...... It's the kind of head that doesn't move the neck and then the skull moves, 180 degrees. The skull fell off with a thud.
Yes, this picture is undoubtedly the murderous house.
Alvin gripped his head and walked inside.
"I'm sorry, but the bones I just took care of, it looks like the spine is wrong. Simon picked up his head and said, "What's the matter?"
"I ...... I've figured it out!I've figured it out!," Erwin stood extremely tall and said earnestly, "The fifth detachment of the Knights of the Silver Moon should be based on faith. Faith is at the heart of everything, and it shouldn't be based on strength as the usual knights. Otherwise, the fifth detachment of the Silver Moon Knights would just be a name, and it would have no practical meaning. ”
Simon hurriedly packed his skull: "Hmm...... Go on. ”
Alwyn took a deep breath and continued, "Miss Irene's strength is a priority when selecting knights, and at the same time, she also organizes a knight academy. It is said that some children with mage talents will be regularly selected and sent to Giant Snake City to be cultivated. I...... I suddenly mention this because I don't think there should be just Cavaliers in the Fifth Division. We should be a combat-sound detachment. There should be knights in charge of storming and charging, as well as archers, scouts, and mages. I mean the kind of mage who uses magical equipment, after all, humans can't become mages on their own. ”
"I know what you mean," continued. Simon touched his chin.
"In addition to these, we should also have military doctors, people in charge of management, and people in charge of raising funds. In short, we should be an independent legion with all the functions that a legion should have. And not just knights. What we need to do is not just to fight, but more often than not, we can take on some other roles. For example, garrisoning, maintaining regional stability, and helping the lord train troops...... Wait!"
With that, Alvin stared at Simon with a determined expression.
......Simon touched his skull and said, "I agree very much, although I don't understand it very well, but it seems to make sense." Then again, I'm only assisting you, so my opinion doesn't seem too important either. And then what? I mean, what are you going to do?"
Taking a deep breath, Alwyn continued, "I'm going to do two things first, first, gather my fellow knights first. I mean the earliest ones, the little ones who charged together during the Battle of the White City. Originally, I excluded them because they weren't trained all the time like I did. But now I feel that the fifth detachment needs all kinds of people, and they can join as well. ”
"The second thing?"
"The second is that I have to get familiar with the magic equipment as soon as possible, learn how to use it, and understand it myself, and then I can recruit and teach others to use it. ”
"Sounds very planned. ”
"Is that a good plan?"
"Of course, at least more than I had planned. ”
"So you're recognizing me?"
"Did I say I didn't approve of you?"
Alvin was a little stunned, and held back for a long time before he said, "I'm sorry, I thought you were a little disappointed in me after knowing that I didn't have a specific plan. ”
"No, I'm not disappointed in you. Simon shook his head and said, "Someone who really believes in the faith, or a lich, or something." In short, those who have firm beliefs don't care what anyone thinks. You don't need to think too much, just roll up your sleeves and do it. I'm only responsible for assisting you. ”
"Thanks!" Alvin was eager to pounce on Simon and kiss him, remembering that he was a lich.
......
After having a "not-so-detailed plan" and Simon's approval, Alvin was full of confidence.
Of course, the ideal is always very plump, and the reality is still very skinny. There are always a lot of difficulties.
First, Alvin needed to get some sleep first, after all, he had stayed up all night. Humans are different from lichs, staying up late will not only lead to sudden death, but also lack of energy, what can they do. Keeping your spirits up is the first step.
After sleeping for five hours, Alvin woke up in the afternoon.
Hurriedly freshened up, said hello to his father, and said another word to Simon, and then went out with half a loaf of bread in his mouth.
"The first is the preparation. Since it is the fifth detachment, then a garrison headquarters is the most basic, and it cannot even have a base camp. I can ask Miss Irene that she will be willing to give me a small piece of the barracks, which is not yet filled. Not...... Seems a little wrong?" Halfway through, Alvin turned his horse's head again, "I haven't done anything right now, I'm just thinking about asking for something, what will Miss Ireen think of me, and what will Simon think of me? I can't let them think I'm a person who only knows how to rely on others." ”
So, Alvin went straight to the carpenter and asked for a plank. Yes, a plank. Then ask the carpenter to engrave on it: "The Fifth Detachment of the Knights of the Silver Moon".
......
Looking at the sign hanging on the door of his house, Alwin's mood was extremely excited.
"Well, with such a sign, the fifth detachment of the Silver Moon Knights will be officially established! Long live the fifth detachment of the Silver Moon Knights!"
The neighbors around him poked their heads out and watched him stand alone in the alley cheering.
......
"Then there's the recruiters, and I'm supposed to get the most basic people first. Logistics is the most important and there needs to be a person to manage all the housekeeping. There is no doubt that the most suitable person should be ......"
......
"What? you want me to join the fifth detachment of the Silver Moon Knights?" Daddy Bard was confused: "Do you think I look like a knight?"
"Not at all, but father, you certainly haven't met Miss Irene's deputy, Baron Abby Robles, and he doesn't look like a knight, but he does have the title of knight. Alwyn coaxed his father into a chair, "And as long as he is a knight of the Duchy of Beshir, no one can do without him." Because he's in charge of finances. Father, didn't you dream that I would become a knight? Now that you have the opportunity to become a knight yourself, a real knight, do you want to refuse?"
Bard stared blankly at his son.
Alvin smiled widely.
"Ahem. Coughing heavily, Bard said meaningfully, "Son, it's just the two of us in our family. Have you ever wondered if both of us become knights without money, then who will make money to support us?"
"Uh......" Alwyn hesitated, "if we save a little, maybe ......"
Bard stared blankly at his son.
After a while, Alwin could only change his words and say, "Okay, I'll find someone else, maybe Cardina will be willing." Although she certainly has no experience, neither do I, who hasn't been cultivated little by little?"
With that, Alvin turned to leave.
"Wait. Bard spoke, "I can help you until Cardina can get started, and I declare that if the Knights of the Silver Moon have a chance in the future, I will also have a copy." ”
"Yes, thank you, father!" Alwyn happily turned to hug his father and promised, "I promise the Knights of the Silver Moon will never have a Knights, so you don't have to worry about it." ”
......
Next up is Cardina, well, that's this little girl.
Why didn't Alwyn think of her, probably intuition. Even though she's still young, don't you think she's smart?
Crucially, Alvin felt that Cardina might need the job.
......
"What are you talking about? You want our Cardina to serve in the Knights of the Silver Moon?"
"It's the fifth detachment of the Silver Moon Knights. ”
"Oh oh, but what does the first team have to do with me? I only care about how much money you can give her. As long as you have enough money, you can do anything. I can sell it to you. ”
Cardina's father was a bald, mustachioed, obese middle-aged man. Fishmongers by profession, so there is always a strong smell of fish in their house.
They also have eight children. Yes, you heard it right, eight. So you can hear your child crying almost all the time. Cardina is the eldest child in the family.
At this moment, Alwyn was in the messy living room of their house.
Crowded, sloppy living room with clutter piled up everywhere. Cardina's mother was beating and scolding one of the children, who was crying at the top of her voice. The voice was loud...... It makes people stinging in the ears.
As for Cardina's father, he was holding a baby under the age of one while drying clothes on the balcony while chatting with Alwin.
Cardina sat obediently next to Elwin.
"In fact, the fifth detachment of the Silver Moon Knights has just been established, so there is no money. Alvin explained softly, "It may not be in the future. We are for honor. If Cardina joins, she will most likely receive the official title of knight. ”
"Are you sure she's going to be a knight? She doesn't look like a knight at all, and I've never heard of a female knight. ”
"Camilla, the leader of the third detachment of our Silver Moon Knights, is a female knight, so Cardina really has a good chance of becoming a knight. ”
Laboriously hanging the last garment on a bamboo pole, Cardina's father shook the baby in his hand as he returned to the living room, sat down in a chair, and said breathlessly, "Listen, Mr. Alwyn Knight, I'm a fishmonger, so I'm sensitive to language. I just emphasized that if you want money, you can do whatever you want. You say you don't have any money. And then you say she might become a knightess. I think there may be some kind of ambiguity in this statement, so I'll check with you again. You mean that she will become a knightess, but it will only be a title, and there will be no money. No matter what happens, you won't have money, does that mean, or will you become rich when you become a knight? You have to answer me clearly. ”
As she spoke, Cardina's father tapped his fingers lightly on the table, then turned his face sideways to coax the baby in his arms.
Alvin was stunned.
Obviously, not everyone buys the knighthood title, especially when it comes to the title.
After thinking about it, Alvin said to Cardina's father, "I've already told Cardina that she's looking forward to the job. ”
Cardina's father scoffed: "She can help me sell fish every day and take care of her younger siblings." It doesn't matter what she thinks, what matters is that she has to fulfill her responsibilities as a child. I raised her, and she needed to help me with the work. Then marry someone one day and bring a lot of money to the family. That's all, I'm just focusing on that. Of course, I have no objection to marrying her now, and you can do whatever you want her to do after you marry. Including letting her die. ”
Alvin looked stunned.
Slowly looking to the side, he found that the smile on Cardina's face, who was still smiling just now, slowly disappeared, and there was a kind of loss in her eyes that was always radiant.
As for Cardina's father, he was still intently coaxing the baby in his arms.
"I mean......" Irwin stiffened, hesitating, "Rich." ”
"Rich?" Kardina's father was stunned.
Cardina was also stunned, and looked at Alwyn in some dismay.
"Yes, there is money. But not by much. Alvin said earnestly, "Three silver coins a month. ”
Looking at Alwin, it took a while before Cardina's father said, "Three is too little, five, and from today onwards, she will work for you." ”
"Okay, deal. Alvin stood up.
Across the table, he shook hands with Cardina's father.
Now there are three people in the fifth detachment of the Silver Moon Knights. Elwin, Elwin's daddy Bud, Cardina.
However, half of Elwin's monthly pocket money, the fifth branch of the Silver Moon Knights, is gone.
