Chapter Seventy-One: A Stronger Bandit Army
"Army?" Roy was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
Obviously, Rook is not talking about bandits.
Now that the troubled times have begun, Banderz is on the brink of a storm again, and one will be swept up if he is not careful. If you only rely on the current strength of the bandit army, it will be difficult to survive in the cracks. Therefore, it was necessary to recruit men and form an army in Lulian, which was located in the rear.
And this army, together with Bandez, will form a more powerful bandit army.
However, Roy frowned and said, "I am not qualified to recruit the army, and besides, it is not suitable to recruit people in Lulian now. ”
Calling up an army is the power that a noble lord has in his own territory. And although Roy now has the identity of the heir of the Ferdinand family, this is just a cover for his identity.
Since the Romance Dynasty, the Ferdinand family has disappeared. Neither a vassal of the Solan Empire's royal family, nor a domain of his own. Even the family coat of arms is not registered with the Royal House of Heraldry. Therefore, in essence, he was only a civilian and did not have the right to call up the army.
On the other hand, the reason why Roy was able to pull up the bandit army at the beginning was because most of the members of the bandit army were invalids from the Rongyang Camp who had lost their fighting spirit. They come from all parts of the empire and do not belong to Lulian. Follow Roy entirely because of trust, kindness and like-mindedness.
But it's not so easy to make a list of recruits.
When a knight joins the army, the reward is one thing, and the future is the most important thing. If you can't accumulate military merits, if you can't rely on the spear and sword in your hand to gain fame, fight for a piece of mining territory, and fight for the glory and wealth of future generations, who is willing to give a civilian boy his life?
What's more, it's the domain of Adolf and his lords.
Recruit troops here. It's no different from putting your hand in someone else's pocket and pulling out money. Such a thing is very taboo. Especially now that Lulian had just experienced a demonic war and suffered heavy losses, it didn't seem appropriate to do it himself.
"My young master......" Knowing Roy's scruples, Rook laughed, shook his head, and said, "If someone else does this." I believe that the Grand Guild of Adolf did not hesitate to eat him alive. If it's you, though...... Go talk to Grand Duke Adolf and you'll get the answer!"

Leaving the room, Roy took on the form of Leo, pondering Rook's words as he strolled across the bridge and onto the walls of the Grand Duke's castle.
Seeing the young mercenary, the patrol knights and guards all saluted respectfully.
Everyone has heard about the battles that took place on the front line, so they know better than anyone else. All the cheers and excitement in Muni City now are all because of this kind black-haired young man. If it weren't for him, even His Royal Highness the Grand Duke would be more than lucky.
Wandering around the southern wall of the Grand Duke's Castle, Roy leaned on a pheasant saucer and looked out into the city streets below.
On the streets, there is a surge of people.
Celebratory crowds sang and danced.
The Gysai circus was performing in public, and the tavern owners and fellows were laughing as they moved their stock of liquor to the streets. The men hooked their shoulders. Have a drink. The women were in groups of three or five, chattering non-stop. Even if you scold a mud monkey-like child from time to time. All with smiles on their faces.
The carriages of the noble gentlemen rushing to the banquet slowly moved through the crowd. However, both the owner in the carriage and the coachman in the driver's seat were all smiling and approachable, not at all in a hurry.
They knew that the hosts who deliberately held a banquet because of this victory. It doesn't matter if a guest is late for a parade. And they have already thought about it, and when they get to the place, they must brag to everyone about the grand scene on the street. It's a great topic to stir up the atmosphere.
Now, Adolf's army has not yet entered the city.
No one knows what the excitement will be when the heroes enter the gates. Anyway. By this time, everyone was already going crazy with joy.
Roy watched quietly, a smile on his lips.
Growing up in the mountains and forests since he was a child, and didn't come to the human world until he was ten years old, Roy is not a good person to deal with people in his bones. He is used to being lonely and socializing, he is used to running in the wind and snow, and he is used to walking on crowded streets.
However, he likes this kind of world and this kind of life in his heart.
He loves to see the smiles on everyone's faces. I like to infer their happiness from these smiles. Whether it is a child chasing on the side of the road, or a fat aunt with a red face, or a white-haired old man with a cane at the intersection, or a burly mercenary......
Each of them has a different life. In normal times, they may be happy for an income, or they may be sad for poor food and clothing. And now, they're all smiling.
For a common reason.
This made Roy feel joy and pride from the bottom of his heart. For a while, I only felt that all the hardships I had experienced and all the efforts I had put in were worth it.
And Rook's words also took root in his heart.
Since he was born in this troubled world where no one can be alone, since fate has put him on this road and is burdened with this responsibility, then there is no possibility of turning back.
What you can do is to work hard and overcome obstacles.
However, the power of oneself is limited after all. If you want to protect the people you want to protect in troubled times, if you want to drive the demons out of the Broken Sky Mountain Range, if you want to challenge the Holy See and those enemies hidden in the shadows, you must continue to grow. The law of this world is the law of the world!
Yes, you should build a strong army yourself. A power that can realize one's will in this world!
And for me, this is not out of reach.
The two tribes, the dwarves and the elves, have migrated to the city of Muni. In his own hands, there are Star Kings, three bone dragons, and a small demon army led by Banksar. Coupled with the resources in the desperate situation, the ransom of Scarlett and others, and the Heavenly Transformation Costume created by himself......
Roy's eyes narrowed slightly. As he was calculating the resources in his hands, before he knew it, a slender figure had walked behind him.
"It was lively. ”
Roy turned his head to see Elethia smiling beside him.
"yes. Roy laughed.
It was with him that Eretia returned to the Grand Duke's castle on a griffin. While Roy was taking care of Roke, she had already taken a shower and changed her clothes.
Now she wears a simple white dress. The collar, hem and sleeves of the long skirt were embroidered with small floral pale blue flowers. Her long, wavy hair hangs down her left shoulder, and she wears a pair of crystal sandals underneath her feet. But it's such a simple dress, it's already amazing.
As soon as the curves that were obscured by the loose robe were revealed, her allure immediately increased a hundredfold. Although Roy quickly lowered his eyes, the slender and straight calves under the hem of the skirt and the delicate white toes like works of art also made him feel dizzy and his heart raced.
Ahem...... Roy was a little embarrassed.
Looking at him, Eretia smiled narrowly.
Although she is not usually proud of her beauty, Ellethia has also seen a lot of men when they see her. She may not care about other people's eyes, but for her guardian knight, she has a little bit of a little girl's vanity and pride.
"Can you walk with me?" asked Ellethia.
"Of course. Roy nodded.
Eretia smiled and walked towards the stone staircase of the city wall. Roy followed, walking alongside her...... WeChat public number ctao0202...... (To be continued.) )
