Chapter 620: Conscription Review (Part II)

The reason why it was in the prehistoric era before and after the establishment of the Teutonic Empire, the late European Middle Ages or the Renaissance period in this era of human civilization, Or in most other cases similar to the medieval world, when a mercenary army recruits a recruit or accepts an employer, there is a conscription review or something like that, because it has a special meaning for mercenaries and a real process of testing: since it was common practice in these times for soldiers to bring their own weapons and equipment, the people who stood on their hips in front of the simple arch made of two halberds and a spear were experienced employers or mercenary leaders, and they had to make sure that every conscription or mercenary who passed through the arch was a qualified warriorand to keep an exhaustive count of the number of people to eliminate the old, weak, sick and ill-equipped who cheated on commissions (during the European Middle Ages and the Renaissance of this era, such people were customarily referred to as dead souls).

Von Rond and the knights of the Guards such as Yarman under his command basically identified Todd and other mercenaries according to the conscription review practice of the Dark Ages before the establishment of the Teutonic Empire, and at the same time referred to some of the habits of the conscription review conventions of the world where their mercenaries used to stay. Although there is a tradition similar to the conscription review in these cold weapon times where the war is constantly fighting, after all, it is a different world, and the overall situation is similar, yes, but there are still some details that are more or less different, so Feng Longde adheres to the principle of sometimes respecting other people's customs, and also integrates the different places in the conscription review in the world they are in originally, so that it will save Todd and other mercenaries from feeling uncomfortable, and if they are really identified as unsuitable for hiring through such a conscription review, the guys will have nothing to say, so as to avoid some unnecessary trouble。

If this conscription and review ceremony is held in the prehistoric era before and after the establishment of the Teutonic Empire, the late European Middle Ages or the Renaissance period in this era of human civilization, it is a cumbersome ceremony that lasts at least half a day, but Feng Longde and the Yarman and other guard knights led by him only need to identify and add Todd, there are only sixty-three mercenaries, basically each person is almost one, so this process of conscription and review lasted less than ten minutes and ended quickly. In the process, Todd and other sixty-three mercenaries were officially hired by the Teutonic camp under the leadership of Feng Longde, most of them were healthy and energetic, and the remaining few wounded were only slightly injured in the last battle before they inexplicably entered Gensokyo, and the most serious one was at most a flesh wound, and it was no matter how much they recovered from their injuries for a week.

Originally, according to the management of the conscription review, after completing the personnel identification, the employer or mercenary leaders were required to pay the first month's commission to all mercenaries, but this time there was no such process due to the fact that Feng Longde directly gave them the reason when he first met them, and then the mercenaries who were distributed to the corresponding amount of commissions yesterday began to gather around Feng Longde and Todd, ready to listen to the terms of the mercenary industry code that they read aloud.

“...... That's pretty much it, and I hope you don't try to defy it, especially in this place where all kinds of non-human beings and creatures are everywhere. After shouting at length the relevant regulations and corresponding punishments displayed in the employment contract in a loud voice, Feng Longde and Todd were a little dry-mouthed, but their eyes were all fixed on the mercenaries who were surrounding them, "In short, after accepting the employment of the Teutonic camp, you must honestly follow the orders of the Teutonic camp, and you are usually not allowed to attack the human inhabitants here and the surrounding area, once you are caught or discovered...... It has been made clear in the regulations of punishment that have just been read out, are you prepared to set a clear example for your fellow comrades-in-arms by example?"

"No, forget it, I'm going to marry a pretty girl and have several sons!" shouted a short shield mercenary hiding in the crowd, causing a circle of mercenaries around him to laugh.

"It's good to understand, but be careful that you have to 'marry' a beautiful girl instead of 'taking' a beautiful girl, the latter is the most serious crime of harassing the people, and if you are caught, you will be hanged directly!" Hearing that a mercenary took the opportunity to play a poor mouth, Feng Longde was not angry, and directly continued to follow the words of the mercenary who did not know that he was hiding in a corner of the crowd: " Remind the guy who said cool things, there are not many beautiful girls in the Teutonic camp, most of them are already married, and the rest are all masters who can fight with heavy armor and heavy weapons and shields, and if you really want to find a beautiful girl to start a family, then go to the world, where there are more beautiful girls! Some of the Teutonic soldiers who joined the army here to fight for me are that if you don't work hard, you probably won't be able to grab these guys who came here a year before you!"

"Hahahaha......" After Feng Longde said the words that sounded unlikely to pop out of the nobles' mouths, all the mercenaries burst into laughter, and even Tao De, who was standing beside Feng Longde and maintained his cautious attitude, couldn't help grinning slightly, a look that wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

After seeing that the mercenaries' originally somewhat tense atmosphere had relaxed a little, Feng Longde shrugged his shoulders, and then prepared to continue the next oath of allegiance ceremony, and after the conscription review that had just ended, it would basically be done again every time a new employment contract was signed after the expiration date, and every time the war broke out and the mercenary troops left for the battlefield, he or the commanders of the other floors of the Teutonic camp had to read it out to remind them of who they were currently employed.

In addition to using the various mandatory norms agreed upon by both parties in the employment contract to manage the mercenary team, Feng Longde also found a few guys with the easiest work from the guards knights he led and brought over, and selected special prosecutors and supervisors to assist in the management of the mercenary team...... Of course, the main responsibilities of the two of them also include monitoring the situation of Todd and other mercenaries at all times, and in case of an unexpected situation, they can also report the situation to their own immortal king through soul contact and deal with it appropriately; not only that, but in the following oath of allegiance ceremony, Feng Longde also needs to award a new flag to Todd and other mercenaries to indicate their affiliation, which also implies a layer of glory, and thus allows Todd, the mercenary captain, to appoint a flag bearer from among his subordinates, and the flag bearer must swear that the flag will never leave his hand in battle after being awarded the flagand then be added to the ranks. After that, Todd, the mercenary captain, reappoints his lieutenants, chaplains, physicians, and quartermasters, and the rest of the process is to organize squads according to their respective classes, and each squad is then decided by Todd to determine the squad leader to which each squad belongs.

After going through the process of appointing and staffing candidates for various positions, the second half of the oath of allegiance ceremony is a ceremony of swearing-in the written sense of the word: the main purpose of this ceremony is to instill in the bandit-like mercenaries the nobler spirit of loyalty to their employers, to the banner, and to the common cause. During this process, the Avant-garde Knights appointed by Feng Longde and the current Overseer will be in charge of this ceremony, and the Flag Bearer's Flag Ceremony will also be held at the same time.

"After such a process, there is really enough tossing ......" Feng Longde, who was standing on the side with the newly reappointed commanders at all levels, commanding their respective mercenaries to line up according to their respective squads, and standing on one side with Yarman and other guard knights under his command, wanted to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, but he quickly remembered that he was still wearing plate armor gloves, so he could only temporarily give up this action," However, these sixty or so mercenaries and forty or fifty military personnel can only form part of the basic shelf of a mercenary force at most, and more mercenaries are needed to supplement it to form the most basic and comprehensive establishment and combat effectiveness, I hope to find more suitable human armies from the outside world and hire them under their own hands in the future, otherwise the overall military strength of the Teutonic camp will not be greatly expanded until Caroline and the lich mages led by her develop a long-term plan on how to mass-produce human bodies to achieve practical results......”

The time spent on the entire employment process is actually not too much, after all, this is only the employment process of sixty-three mercenaries and forty or fifty military personnel, and the real time spent is less than an hour, what makes Feng Longde really feel a little weak is that in addition to the strong sunlight poured down by the rising sun, it is the cumbersome procedures of these employment processes—— In order to ensure the loyalty of Todd and other mercenaries, these processes must be implemented, but Feng Longde still has some mental strength to toss people from a personal point of view, so he decided that if there is a similar situation in the future, unless he has to come forward, all of them will be handed over to Yarman and other guard knights to carry out on his behalf, otherwise in the future, when he recruits those external human armies from various worlds or time and space to become mercenaries, he needs to toss such a circle from time to time, and it is conservatively estimated that he will not be able to run away from mental exhaustion......

After Todd led the soldiers who had just become mercenaries in the Teutonic camp to focus on how to build the mercenary camp they lived in more complete and let some of the Guard knights stay for them to conduct some targeted training, von Longde led Yarman and the remaining Guard knights back to the Teutonic camp.

"Send a construction team to the places where the mercenaries are temporarily camped, so that they can live in a place that is at least more stable for long-term living and has some defensive capabilities, rather than looking like a large and chaotic camp. After informing a Necro Builder in Soul Contact, Feng Longde also returned to the Headquarters Fort and stayed in his room on the second floor, "By the way, remember to collect and bring enough Revenant Rangers from the Lich Mages to hide nearby before leading the undead labor and construction workers over, understand?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. "The corpse witch builder who received orders from his own immortal king in the soul connection replied with a soul message, and then went to prepare.

After solving this small matter, Feng Longde glanced around the room where there was no one except himself, dismantled the full set of Teutonic Gothic plate armor and all kinds of hand-picked guys on his body, and then lay on his back on his double bed, stretching his limbs to relieve the fatigue of his body.

It's now 10:13 in the morning, and at this time in the past, Feng Longde has basically completed his personal combat skills training and equestrian training and is ready to carry out ability training, or return to his room as well, but the latter's situation is often through soul connections to deal with all aspects of the affairs of the Teutonic camp, and this work will last until about one or two o'clock in the afternoon. Thanks to the fact that more and more administrators at all levels who are proficient in government affairs share most of Feng Longde's work, he now has more and more personal free time, but this guy is still used to running to the magic forest or hunting all kinds of monsters in the afternoon for most of the afternoon. Warcraft and monsters, recently began to help do some things to recruit the outside human army as their own mercenaries, and then they went to the tavern in the human world to drink and relieve their fatigue, and finally finished all their work in the evening and returned to the headquarters fort to get together with their friends to eat, drink and make amusement.

"That virtuous wolf girl should be walking around somewhere in the Teutonic camp right now, right? Weisk and they are also busy training, so I can rest for a while in advance by taking care of the placement of the first batch of human mercenaries from the outside world......" Shaking his head helplessly, Feng Longde, who was lying on his double bed, made himself as comfortable as possible, and then the soul heart rhythmized at a high speed again," Rest can't rest in vain, I still want to think about what kind of composition the mercenary unit to which the Teutonic camp belongs in the future, after all, if you think about it carefully, there are many external human soldiers like Todd similar to the European Middle Ages, but there are also many external human armies of different comprehensive levels, and they must always be prepared for everything......"
