The next day, the slave warrior regiment, which had been captured by Joseph, sailed northwest with the convoy. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Originally, according to Joseph's thoughts, he was reluctant to blatantly take these three hundred slave soldiers on the road, after all, according to his title, it was already an exception to have a private army of three hundred people. According to the rules of the Bright Empire, even the earls above his viscount title have only three hundred private troops. As for the knights in the family, they can only have more than 300 people if they have a knighthood above the earl.

Of course, Joseph didn't expect to hide this matter from anyone, he bought slaves from the Sistine family, although it was not said to expand the private army, but the number of these three hundred people was not a minority after all. Although with the power of the Sistine family, it is not difficult to get such a legal contract. But presumably, His Majesty the Emperor in the imperial capital knew about buying slaves by himself.

It's just that what I'm about to go to is the western frontier of the empire, and in a land like a tiger and wolf like the northwest, I have no strength and no background, so I can't gain a foothold at all! The most important thing is that even if Sistine, the acting governor appointed by the empire, I'm afraid that life is not too good?

You must know that although the war in the northwest has disappeared now, the Northwest Army, headed by the generals of the Moxi faction, still has a main army of 40,000 or 50,000 people! And according to what I know so far, these legions are not under the control of the empire! If I want to survive in such a dangerous environment, I must grasp all the capital on which I can stand, right?

Although Joseph said that he was just a magician, he also had some ideas in his heart, and Mondevideo IV must have known about buying these three hundred slave warriors by himself. But since he didn't mention it, then Joseph wouldn't be stupid enough to take the initiative to talk to him. Three hundred slave warriors, not too much, too little, as far as the northwest, naturally it is impossible not to make more preparations.

José was not defenseless against the three hundred slave warriors, and in addition to dividing them into ten small teams, he also selected the slave warriors with higher martial skills as the captain of each squad. In this way, even if any slaves with other intentions want to escape, they will naturally be restrained, and at the same time, let these slaves manage themselves, and avoid the problem of managing these slaves and running out of manpower.

However, as a magician, he naturally has the means to manage these slaves, no matter what magic potion is used to restrict them, or simply cast some magic to bring them down, it will not be so troublesome. But since Joseph was determined to take these slave warriors into his subordinates, in addition to deterrence, he had to make these slaves follow him with all his heart, so even if it took some means, he didn't care.

Three hundred slaves, plus himself and Gould, Little Maudun, and the twenty cavalrymen of the Central Army, made a total of more than three hundred and twenty men. Because more than a dozen wagons of food had been prepared in advance, the consumption of these people was nothing. Along the way, they also pass through the capitals of several provinces, and there are many counties and villages in the provinces, so they don't have to worry about food.

Joseph had a great passion for these slave warriors, and he talked to them every night in addition to his daily journey, especially the ten slave warriors who had been selected. Joseph gave them great freedom, not only did he release the shackles from them, but he even gave them several sets of leather armor and weapons. Obviously, Joseph knew in his heart that he could not subdue all the slaves at once, but for these selected slave warriors, he could first encircle them under his command.

These ten slave warriors were all selected by Dick's steward, and it is clear that Dick, as the steward of the Sistine family in charge of the slave market, was still very clear about the details of these slave warriors. Joseph had already learned the details of these slave warriors from Dick:

Most of them are some "mature slaves" who have been in the Bright Empire for many years, and they are all in the middle of their age, the oldest is in their forties, and the youngest is already in their teens. Most of these slave warriors were sold from all over the world by slave traders, and because they possessed certain martial arts, or were physically strong, they were selected to learn martial arts and participate in gladiatorial competitions.

Among these people, most of them are martial artists with certain martial arts, and more than a dozen people have reached the strength of intermediate martial artists, and the strongest guy has even reached the level of intermediate knights, and already has the fighting spirit that symbolizes high-level martial artists!

One of José's favorites, the most skilled slave warrior, was a silent man in his twenties. The guy didn't look very strong, and was even about the same size as Joseph, and was inconspicuous among these fierce slave warriors. But the news that Jose got from Dick was that this thin-looking guy was a master of martial arts that had almost reached the level of a mid-level knight.

Middle-level knights, these ranks are rare even in the imperial army, and high-level martial artists who can use fighting qi are generally extremely rare masters. Even among the noble guards in the imperial capital, with the status of a high-level martial artist, he can find a position that is not low.

However, what made Jose more interesting was that the guy didn't show too much surprise on his face when he learned that the slaves had been bought by Jose. Even when José announced that they could be free, and the other slave warriors were already shouting excitedly, this guy stood in the corner of the crowd without saying a word with a cold look on his face.

Jose didn't show much interest in this guy, and of course, this guy was among the ten captains he had chosen, even when he explained to the slave warriors that he would use magic contracts to restrain them. This guy's face didn't have too much surprise and fear, it seemed that he was born with a cold look, even more cold than that cold-faced man.

Finally, after a few days of the group traveling to and from the northwest, the slave warrior was resting among the slaves when they camped that night. Several heavily armed cavalry of the Central Army suddenly came to the slave camp, and the leader of the Central Army among these guys was none other than the servant next to the viscount, the extremely burly fat man Gould.

He just squinted at the slave before he said lightly, "You, come with me, Lord Viscount wants to see you!"
