――

In this world, plans are always unable to catch up with changes.

Originally, Dong Xuan wanted to accumulate strength in a muffled voice, and then play the trick of crushing the tyrant Ping A, but he didn't expect that before he could find time to deal with the problem of the two envoys of the Eagle Family, an announcement from the royal family was placed on his desk.

"The kingdom of Lordan is at war with those green-skinned orcs again?"

Sending someone to send the messenger, looking at the conscription notice made of the finest parchment, Dong Xuan couldn't help but have some doubts.

"When I was in the royal capital, I didn't feel anything abnormal, how can I say that the war will start?"

In this regard, the female elf who was more familiar with the human situation on the side immediately conducted a literacy sweep for him.

The reason why I didn't feel anything unusual was because the conflicts between the kingdom of Lordan and the orcs and even the trolls had become so frequent that it was not strange.

This has to do with the peculiar circumstances of the kingdom of Lordaan itself.

The previous king of Lordan died in a war with the orc trolls, and was assassinated by an assassin sent by the orcs.

This is undoubtedly a great shame for the Kingdom of Lorda.

So over the years, the new King His Majesty has always spared no effort to find a way to beat these two, often fighting trolls this year and smashing orcs next year, and he has persevered for more than ten years.

Even if the orcs and trolls near the kingdom have only been left with a small force hiding in a remote and desolate place under the constant war, the small-scale conflicts have never stopped, so that all the races on this continent are a little accustomed to this.

If the Kingdom of Lordan hadn't troubled the orcs and trolls that year, it would have been strange for both the orcs and the trolls themselves.

"So, for the sake of our great king, I, a little baron, will be honored to go to the front with no less than five professionals and a hundred ordinary soldiers to fight bravely and maintain the glory of the family?"

"That's right, if you don't want to be stripped of your knighthood."

Facing the strangeness on Dong Xuan's face, Selena, who had already memorized the laws of the entire kingdom in the castle study, spoke directly.

"According to Article 115 of the "Noble Rights and Duties", sending troops to fight for the kingdom is the basic responsibility that all fiefdom nobles of the Kingdom of Lordan must abide by."

In this regard, Dong Xuan shrugged his shoulders and could not deny it.

Although this amount of troops was completely a drop in the bucket for him, if it weren't for him, the baron, he would have to go in person, and even Helen herself could arrange this matter, but this obviously did not delay him from thinking about it further.

Especially at this moment when many nobles in the west are suffering, the kingdom suddenly launched a war, and the time is so coincidental that no one will believe it.

"You know, there are several families that haven't even chosen a suitable heir! This condition, which must be led by the lord, is simply pouring a basin of hot oil on it! ”

Moreover, excluding the problem of lords, the minimum troop limit stipulated may not be a big deal for the big nobles, but for many small nobles, it is not the same for most of the wealth.

In this way, once these already wounded families obeyed the call of the kingdom, wouldn't they have even the last bit of strength?

And the most deceptive thing is that obviously it's not okay not to go.

Otherwise, if you have the name of righteousness, you don't need any other hostile forces, and your Majesty the King will probably be eager to jump out and swallow them in one gulp

"It feels like things are getting more and more interesting."

However, because there was too little information, Dong Xuan couldn't really analyze what kind of interior was inside, so in the end, he could only put this issue aside.

Anyway, with his current strength, he is definitely not afraid of anyone jumping out.

After a few days, the remaining equipment will also be put into use, and in a few months, even if he single-handedly fights the entire Lordan Kingdom, he has a chance of winning two or three percent, with such confidence, will he be afraid of those small actions that others secretly make?

Anyway, the longer the other party plans, the better it will be for him.

Of course, in addition to this, there is another point that makes him very curious, that is, how did the old Baron Blackstone meet the minimum standards before?

"I remember, when I first came, there were only two professionals in the entire Blackstone Ridge, and there weren't many ordinary soldiers, how did he get mixed up with this recruitment? Don't tell me that the previous standard is different from this year's? ”

Selena, who has often been in contact with the old housekeeper who has arranged for the elderly, really knows this problem.

"The old baron, the baroness, and the eldest son of the baron, are also junior professionals, and even the baroness's status as a junior mage can offset the share of the two Moreover, the kingdom also allows the nobles to find their own way to hire professionals, and many nobles who are too weak are mixed up by spending money to hire them..."

"I see."

Fingertips swiped over the magic portrait on the table that had not been removed, looking at the smiling middle-aged couple and the three children beside them, Dong Xuan couldn't help but think thoughtfully.

Obviously, according to the proportion of professionals in the whole human race, this family can be regarded as a talent.

There are three professionals in a family of five, and the second son and the young daughter also have the hope of changing jobs, no matter where they are, such a situation is an extremely amazing thing.

And the emergence of this situation, in addition to the good bloodline quality, must also have a lot to do with the combat training of the same fish people.

Just like a soldier in the territory, any one of them can be regarded as an elite seedling.

Even in Helen's calculations, their physique and will were basically up to the standard of those who changed careers, and what they lacked was only cultivation methods and cultivation resources.

If there is a suitable opportunity, he can even find a way to let these ordinary people change jobs in large quantities, and this is the most fundamental reason why Dong Xuan did not choose to completely give up these ordinary soldiers.

Obviously, with the same environment, and no matter how poor they are, Baron Blackstone's family can squeeze out a certain amount of cultivation resources, and it is relatively normal for the proportion of professionals to be high.

"It's a pity that this one doesn't have the luck and talent to advance to the intermediate level"

Beginner level is obviously the rookie stage of professionals, and they don't even have a clear understanding of their own strength, so only by advancing to the intermediate level can they be regarded as entering the house, and they barely have something to look at.

It can be regarded as a little bit of self-preservation that is feared.

Obviously, this is exactly what the old baron's family lacked the most.

Their strength is too small compared to the enemies behind them, and it is simply not enough to maintain their own security.

Even if one person is promoted to the intermediate level, he will not be easily solved by the high-level assassin in the end, and he will not even make a movement for the time being

"However, high-level thieves who are proficient in assassination are already difficult to guard against, not to mention the special race of gnomes, and it is normal to be hit."

This matter is now almost certain.

According to the confession of the dwarf thief who was caught two days ago, although the old baron's family was not his hand, it should have been someone else sent by a certain duke.

Because he had followed the duke's order before, he quietly killed the two viscount families, which were also allies of Rose Ridge and rich in mineral weapons, which could be said to be one of the culprits of the serial deaths

Before, Dong Xuan planned to hand it over to the king, and it could be regarded as a way to help the old baron's family avenge it, but judging from this abrupt order now, this does not seem to be a good choice.

"Let's see, what tricks you're going to play!"

Looking at the gloomy dark clouds outside the window, a cold glint flashed in Dong Xuan's eyes.

Obviously, the storm is coming. )
