New Calendar, March 11.

Nearly two months later, the Celtic Guard's army had begun to take shape, and according to the statistics of the military advisor Pompey, the number of second-order warriors had reached 7,000, and the number of third-order warriors had reached more than 200.

Together with the new Celtic Army and the Great Wall garrison, they finally gathered a large army of nearly 15,000 men. It is not far from the ideal size of Yalei himself, two 10,000-level legions.

Although the audition has eliminated some soldiers with disgraceful resumes, there are actually many people who plan to come to mess around in the army. Their idea is to make a fortune by mixing farmland here, and if they want to fight in the future, they will find the governor's palace to discount, and the small abacus is very good.

For this shameless behavior of treating the Governor's Mansion as the main leader, the resourceful military advisor Pompey, of course, also has a way to block them.

The second war paint fusion agreement was placed in front of the military households of the Zhongwei Institute in order to put an end to this phenomenon.

This batch of war paints is different from the previous fusion of the new army, it is completely a valuable item purchased by Yalei out of his own pocket, which is a super hemorrhage, and if you want to get them, you have to sign a second agreement that you will not be discharged for life.

The cost of unilaterally tearing up the agreement is extremely high, and the Governor's Office even has the right to dispose of it at will, but after a generation it can be owned by private individuals.

For the war paint, a true heirloom that can be passed on to future generations and can be passed down and upgraded from generation to generation, most of the military households in the guard cannot resist this temptation, so they can only sign a contract with tears and sell themselves completely.

This time there was heavy bleeding, though. It almost made Yalei completely impoverished. All that's left is a butt of desperate debt.

Thankfully. As the plague gradually subsided, some of the unfinished properties left by the evil capitalists in Celt quickly appreciated, because they were abandoned first, and the black-haired knight unceremoniously confiscated all of them—and then shamelessly sold them again.

Relying on this black money to bully the capitalists, the Governor's Mansion successfully survived the financial crisis, and then prepared for the second wave of the financial crisis......

Southern Celtic, Hadrian's Wall.

Aree and Pompey walked side by side on the walls of the Great Wall. After stepping over a section of the barrier wall, the two of them stopped in the lookout, looking at the large rolling mountains in front of them, and the old man whispered:

"The Highland Kingdom has a lot of mountains and steep terrain, and once it loses, it can escape into the rear, how does His Excellency the Governor plan to deal with it?"

"Just lure them in. The black-haired knight frowned, seemingly absent-minded.

Pompey noticed his expression, and was not angry, and continued with a calm expression:

"I'm hanging out at Glamorgan these days. Listen to a lot of people say that on the territory of Southern Celtic. Is there such a thing as cutting the scalp of a Celtic in exchange for a sizable commission?"

"Yes, indeed. He came back to his senses and smiled apologetically.

"If it were only for the sake of holding the territory south of Hadrian's Wall, the Doge would indeed solve the problem of Celtic infiltration. But the point is, now that you've made up your mind to fight the Highlands, why waste money and create Celtic resistance. ”

The old man's eyes shone with wisdom, and he stroked his right chest with one hand, and said in a heartfelt manner:

"It is impossible for more than 10 million people to be slaughtered, and it is not in the interests of the Governor's Mansion to slaughter them. The Governor has not had enough of the sparsely populated Governor, so please repeal this command. ”

Thinking that force can solve everything, and in the future, the Black Eagle Raiders on the Highland Kingdom will be frustrated, there must be a reason for this, and he has to slowly reverse his thoughts,

"What the military advisor said makes sense. ”

Yalei pondered carefully for a moment, and said seriously:

"Then I will not cut their scalps in the future, arrest them all, and then demand a ransom from the Highland Kingdom. If they don't give it, let them do hard labor for the military households in the guardhouse, and then release them after earning enough ransom money, do you think this will be okay?"

“......”

Pompey stared at him, speechless for a while, and after half a sound, he could only nod helplessly.

In any case, this can be regarded as a good admonition, and the finances of the Governor's Mansion have not been ideal, so he has to turn a blind eye and pretend not to see it.

"Hahaha!"

The black-haired knight was quite proud of his wit, and said with a smile: "Then they can't blame me, if they blame the monarch they serve for not having a conscience, I can still make a fortune by the way." ”

Pompey didn't say anything about this, just kept shaking his head, and at the same time sighed deeply in his heart, it seemed that he had a long and heavy task.

......

Highland Kingdom, Royal Palace.

Knock knock knock——!

Wallace knocked on the door of King Gary's study, where his father was discussing with a few of his henchmen how to deal with the post-mortem reconstruction, and the meeting seemed to be in full swing, and the crowd was talking faster and faster.

"Father, it's me. The second prince said through the door.

"Wallace, come in. ”

With permission, Wallace pushed open the heavy, black, carved wooden door, a slight rattle of the cotton underlay rubbing against the marble.

Wearing a silver-white armor, he walked into the study, looked at a few important ministers of the kingdom with restrained faces, subconsciously raised his tone, and announced with a smug face:

"Father, the demon plague has been completely eradicated. ”

After seeing his second son wearing a suit of armor and entering the study, King Gary's eyebrows were so gloomy that he could almost drip water, and he rebuked mercilessly:

"I said, you have to maintain your demeanor as a crown prince at all times, why don't you change your clothes when you go to the study, are you so busy that you don't even have time to change clothes?

This rebuke made the new crown prince very angry, he worked hard for so many days, single-handedly exterminated the demon disaster, and established such a great feat, but his father accused himself for a little thing, he was simply confused!

“......”

Wallace held back his anger, squeezed out a smile, and said, "I just can't wait to inform my father of this good news, and I forgot the etiquette for a while. ”

This sentence made the old king's face slightly better. At least for now. The second son's attitude towards himself is quite respectful.

"You're doing a great job. ”

King Gary gave a faint compliment. Then he waved his sleeve: "If you have time, go and see your brother, he has been recovering well recently." ”

The new crown prince breathed a little, suppressed his unhappiness again, and said quickly:

"I have a bit of an opinion about the post-disaster reconstruction. ”

"When the meeting is over, I will naturally ask you about the situation," the old king did not let anyone continue. His expression became more and more indifferent, and his eyes stared at each other gloomily:

"Now you can leave, and our meeting will continue, remember who you are, my son. ”

“......”

Wallace felt a flame explode from the depths of his mind, and the scorching touch continued to expand in his skull, almost bursting and burning his consciousness.

"Well, I'll go first. ”

Eventually, with what little sanity he had, he left the king's study backwards.

......

Kingdom of the Highlands. Kenneth's bedchamber.

"I'm the crown prince! I'm obviously the crown prince! and he has exterminated the demon plague for the kingdom, and he doesn't even allow me to raise any opinions. It's such an old fool!"

Wallace roared with red eyes as he paced back and forth in the palace like an angry bull.

"Wallace, calm down. ”

Sora said as she walked over to the window, pulled the velvet curtain open, and looked through the glass window at the guards patrolling downstairs.

"I can't calm down! I knew the contempt and disdain in my father's eyes, and I knew that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't surpass Kenneth's place in his heart. ”

The new crown prince grabbed the princess by the shoulder, panted and shouted:

"I'm already the crown prince, but I don't get the right to my identity, that old bastard's health is too good, when will I get out of my current situation?"

"The throne will be yours sooner or later, why be so impatient. Sora frowned at him and reluctantly agreed.

"Sooner or later, ten or twenty years?"

The thought of having to endure such a long time made Wallace feel a pang of mad anxiety, and he might have gone crazy at that time.

"Unless......" He narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression frozen.

"What do you want to do?"

Sora's face turned pale, and she smelled a sense of danger in the other party's tone.

"You don't need to know much. ”

The new crown prince touched the side of the lady's face, looked at the seductive dress specially prepared for himself, and his eyes lit up:

"Honey, you're so beautiful tonight. ”

"No matter how beautiful a woman is, there will always be a moment when she will get bored. The princess bit her thin lip and looked at her lover with a complicated expression.

"My feelings for you will never change. ”

Wallace held the other party's soft palm, comforted the woman who should have belonged to his sister-in-law, and then suddenly remembered his brother, and asked with a sneer:

"How's the situation on Kenneth's side, have you relented?"

“......”

Sora shook her head with a gloomy expression.

"It's okay, my dear, I have a brilliant idea now to get him to his knees. ”

The new crown prince's eyes were as cold as shark's sharp teeth, and the corners of his lips suddenly turned upward, blooming into a creepy smile.

......

Highland Kingdom, Cathedral.

In the darkness, a series of ethereal footsteps rang out, and a delicate silver-white boot stepped out, the boots carved with intricate and elegant Templar hymns.

On top of the boots, there is a silver-white full-body plate armor, and the cross belt around the waist is also made of all-metal, faintly revealing a layer of restrained white light.

Further up is a hood that covers the entire face, and is integrated with the full-body plate armor, as if a chaotic space is built, and no matter which angle others look at, only a deep shadow can be seen.

The man walked to the foot of the steps under the altar, and after standing still for a long time, he let out a faint voice like a faint voice from the other world:

"Cardinal Yusseph, what's the matter with me?"

"The new crown prince of the Highland Kingdom has sent me news. ”

Bishop Joseph stood behind the altar, his back bent, his cloudy eyes suddenly widened, and two sharp lines of sight were projected:

He finally couldn't resist getting his hands dirty. ”

The man covered in armor raised his head, and his voice without any emotion reverberated in the space again:

"What do you want me to do?"

"Grab the old king of the Highland Kingdom, hand him over to our new crown prince to deal with, and ...... As a bodyguard, you protect until Wallace sits on the throne. ”

"Yes. ”

The low voice slowly echoed, and a white light suddenly shone in the dark space, and the viscous darkness was like a giant python, writhing uneasily in this dazzling light.

^......

Glamorgan, Earls Court.

It had rained during the night, and it had not yet cleared up, but the light of the waning moon was already radiating from the clouds.

"What? I'm no longer the captain of the city defense? Why are you exempting me from my position! What am I not doing well enough?"

Suddenly, a girl's scream came from the office, and the sound was unusually loud, shaking the leaves in the courtyard to the ground.

"It's not a dismissal, because you've been doing well in the past few months, so I've decided to give you a promotion. ”

Yalei smiled and handed over another letter of appointment, so that he would not admit to secretly investigating the other party's eight generations of ancestors, and even knew what age she began to develop.

"So fast?"

Nancy immediately turned her anger to joy, blinking her blue eyes with a slightly overwhelmed expression.

"But before I do that, I have to ask for your consent, after all, this position may be a bit difficult for you. The black-haired knight pressed his finger against the corner of the warrant, his gaze faintly cast on the other party.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, Nancy I can do anything! I'm not afraid of anything!" the girl patted her chest confidently, full of the spirit of a newborn calf who is not afraid of heaven and earth.

"It's not that exaggerated, it's just a little hard, I'm going to form a scout corps, but there is no one around me who is suitable for this position, so I want you to give it a try. ”

Yalei looked at Nanxi's eager eyes, and a heavy stone in his heart was finally half put down.

At this moment, he thought of Pearson, the assassin who was imprisoned in the depths of the palace by Misterine, but would rather die, this man would have become the best scout if he hadn't died.

"Then let me try! Exercise quickly, spy on the terrain or something, I think I'm okay. The girl touched her smooth chin, and her eyes narrowed into crooked crescents.

"Very well, now go and say goodbye to your teammates, and by the way recommend a best successor, I trust your vision. The black-haired knight winked his eyes at the other.

"Yes, sir!"

Nancy suddenly raised her right arm high, her boots snapped together, and gave him a serious salute.

"Go to my men, and go and complete your mission. ”

Yalei cooperated with the stiff face, his expression was as grim as a plaster statue, and returned a military salute to her. (To be continued.) )
