Chapter 120: Thunder

"And what about you?" said Stannis again to the Lady Romon in the back, for the old man had a vellum book and a pen, and looked expectant.

Not only Romon, but even Robert and Stannis came out of nowhere, and it seemed that something big was about to happen.

Master Romon cleared his throat, and the old man's voice became extremely solemn at this time, "According to the imperial code, when a lord's army exceeds a hundred people, he has the right to name and give the number to this unit, what name do you want to give your troops?" ”

"You mean, I can name my own army?" Stannis's voice trembled, he never thought he could have this honor.

"Of course, Your Excellency, Miss Lucia brought in twenty soldiers just now, plus your existing eighty men, which is exactly what satisfies the principle that a lord's army needs a hundred men to be named, and you can also appoint officers, draw up banners, and compile slogans. ”

Although the rule that you have to be full of 100 people to be established, this setting is still quite emotional, because if you have an army of 100 people, the momentum will change qualitatively, maybe the empire thinks the same way, otherwise a cat and a dog can pull up a team, and there is no need to call a team without even a hundred people.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency. Maester Romon interrupted his musings, "How are you going to name your troops, I have many options here, they are all left by the previous Earl, and you can inherit their names and glory." ”

"Oh, let's hear it. "Stannis came interested.

"'The Dragon of Autumn Twilight', 'The Black Dragon of Death', 'The Burning of the Dragon', 'The Immortal Dragon'......" Lady Romon kept reading one by one as he flipped through the vellum.

These names are good-sounding, but they are all related to dragons, which is also the principle of naming the army of the Justinian family.

"Why are there so many names? A troop can be called for a long time, why doesn't there be an army in my territory that inherits these names?"

Master Romon coughed twice in embarrassment, "Because the fate of these troops is all wiped out, they can't continue......"

"What!" Stannis was furious when he heard this, because he felt that he was digging a hole to make himself jump down, "Damn! The troops with these names are all finished, and you still want my army to inherit, do you also fall into the same fate!?

He waved his hand to get rid of all these bad names, and he was ready to come up with a new name to rush to Chongxi.

After thinking about it, he was ready to name his first unit after the surname of the god of war that he admired the most.

"'Barca', how's it going?"

But the people of the Western Continent had obviously not heard of Hannibal Baka's name, and the bewildered expressions of the three men in front of them especially showed their attitude.

"What is this?" said Robert, confused and unhappy with the name.

"Forehead......" Stannis rolled his eyes and began to babble, "It's a lost ancient language, the Phoenician word for 'thunder.'" ”

"Then just call it Thunder and it's over!" Robert routinely grumbled.

Maester Romon wrote the letters 'Barca' on yellowed paper, "Well, one of the thunder and the dragon's breath, in accordance with the principle of the Justinian family's naming, can be used." ”

Thus, in the notes of the university scholar Romont, he made a strong note in the chronicle: the first army of the reign of Stannis Justinian was named Thunder.

Now that the number of the unit is there, it is necessary to arrange official positions.

The captain of the archers, the head of the infantry, the cup cat, this can't be moved, as for the cavalry team that Korodov has always hinted at, because there is not a single horse hair now, it is not on the table, and the position of the highest-ranking commander, Stanis needs to think carefully.

"Boss, boss, you see that there are only a few knights in the territory, Korodov's brain is not bright and can be ruled out, so among the rest of the people......" Robert didn't say anything, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was recommending himself.

But Stannis only listened to the first half of his words, "That's right, there are only six knights in the territory, and only one of them is considered to be both civil and military, so I can only reluctantly serve as the supreme commander of the Baca Legion, thank you for your recommendation, Radish!"

Robert wanted to cry without tears.

In this way, the main official position of the 'Thunder' regiment (only Stannis insisted on being called Baka) was determined, and the deputy commander was vacant, and Robert, of course, did not get a single official position.

After dealing with this trivial matter, Stannis suddenly thought that there were three knights in the village under him who managed their own territory, but they had never visited him until now, and the orders they gave were all sent by Master Romon himself, and the pomp and circumstance of the three vassals was too big!

"Korodov, why haven't the three knights under me come to see me for almost two months!" Stannis, who had no one to kneel and lick, was very upset.

Korodov was very confused by his question, "My lord, but you gave the order three months ago, and without your summons, you don't want to see those three knights again, have you forgotten?"

Did you give this order? Three months ago, before I crossed over, in the memory of that lost year.

What is crazy about this former Stennis voluntarily giving up the pleasure of being slapped by his subordinates, and Stennis does not want to lose this privilege.

"Go, you call those three guys, I have something to summon them. After Stannis gave the order, the chief knight had no choice but to carry it out, though he had no idea what he meant.

An hour later, three vassals and knights from the House of Justinian and the rulers of the villages of Tanzanis, Jelenbu, and Shigatse stood before Stanis.

"You say...... They're knights......" Stannis said incredulously.

Maester Romon shrugged at him, which was why Stannis had been reluctant to see them again.

Because standing in front of Stannis was a super fat man, a huge thin man, and an old man who had forgotten his age. These guys should be in the 'It's Wonderful' traveling exhibit, not in the knighthood profession.

"Seemingly, Dalu, we are really like (yes, my lord, we are really knights)!"

The fat man was muttering as he was still nibbling on a pig's leg in his mouth, and flies were merryly surrounding him, but the guy didn't care.

Stannis shook his head, but he didn't immediately despair, after all, people can't look good, maybe these guys have some special skills?

"Fatty, you give me a lap and let me see your stamina. ”

The fat man threw away the pork leg and walked towards the starting point, but did not take a step for a long time.

"What's wrong, are you hurt?" Stannis walked over with concern.

only to find that the fat man was just gasping for breath, and the distance he had just walked had already made him breathless.

"Damn!

The thin knight, who couldn't help the wind, staggered out.

"You put on your armor and fight me. Stannis gave the order.

The thin man reluctantly jumped out of his arsenal with the thinnest breastplate, nothing but a piece of iron. Robert tied him up, but as soon as he let go, the skinny man collapsed and fainted from breathlessness.

"Damn, the next old man!"

The old knight stepped forward tremblingly, but it seemed that he had not yet figured out the situation.

"Have I had lunch today, good grandson?" asked the old man, looking at Stannis kindly.

"Damn!who's your grandson!" Stannis angrily grabbed the ground, these three knights were all worse than waste!

However, after the fire, things still have to be done, and Stannis immediately issued an order to transfer the fiefs of these three guys, and each person's new fief is a Black Forest on the other side of the river...... At the same time, the three villages recovered were led by Stannis, and the village chief was directly responsible for himself. In order to avoid trouble with the knights, he gave each knight a large pension and allowed his heirs to inherit the knighthood, preferring to pay for the waste knights rather than let them rule his land for a second longer.

Later, he summoned the heads of the three villages and set them a year-end target, that is, each village must increase its population tax revenue by 10% this year, otherwise it will ......

"Otherwise, each of them will be given 100 lashes!" Stannis shouted arrogantly.

The three village chiefs immediately burst into tears, the lord was very strange, and he didn't want their lives, just a few whips, was the reaction so exaggerated?

Robert came up in time and whispered, "Boss, there are too many whips, I'm afraid that even people will be whipped into a puddle of minced meat!"

Stannis said that he didn't understand, Jesus received 900 lashes before he went to the cross, and from the conclusion he came to when he watched the TV series when he was a child, although the people in it had to be whipped hundreds of lashes at every turn, but after one or two episodes, he used to jump around alive, and he still felt that a hundred lashes were less.

"If you are whipped, you will die, that's too exaggerated! I don't believe it, give me a whip. Stannis was puzzled and decided to experience it himself, which was a fulfillment of his childhood dream of watching the SM plot in a small movie.

Soon, the whip for punishment was carried up.

Stannis rubbed his eyes, the whip of this world was two meters as long as a python, not the short, lean whip he had imagined.

As soon as the lord was about to shout that he could not play, the whip slammed into his head and face, and hit him right on the buttocks, and after the most terrible scream, he lay on the ground and never moved again.

The incident ended with Stannis lying on the bed and wailing in pain for three days and three nights, and it was logical that the punishment for the village chief who did not complete the year-end goal was also reduced to 3 lashes.
