Chapter 388: Sadland's Private Army
However, in addition to satisfying Gray, this approach was very puzzling to Aroque. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info because the 6,000 recruits selected by Jose are not the 6,000 who ran at the front in the weight-bearing assessment, but those recruits who were left behind and had a weak physique!
Putting good and strong soldiers instead of recruiting, but recruiting those recruits with a weak system, such an act simply made Gould wonder. But Chaucer quickly gave them the answer, this time not in the county town of Sadland, but in Bouldertown, a town under the town of Sadland!
In this town, which once resisted the Macedonians, nearly 10,000 new troops who had been "eliminated" gathered here. After the assessment, no one noticed the whereabouts of these "losers", and Gray also paid attention to the newly recruited recruits, who were really qualified in the selection, and were secretly transported to this border town of Sadland under Jose's arrangement.
These guys were still a little dissatisfied in their hearts, they were originally the winners who were selected, but how did they enlist in the army but those weak guys? But in Boulder Town, they got the answers they wanted, because here, Joser appeared in front of them again.
This once frontier town has become a secret military camp for Joseph, and most of the original people in the city have long been transferred to other towns under the arrangement of Aloke. Of course, all this was also quietly arranged when Aloch introduced the tax exemption decree, and there was Gray's Northwest Army in the town of Sadland, and it was naturally impossible for these recruits of his own to be placed in Sadland.
After the relocation of most of the inhabitants of Boulder Town, there was plenty of room in the city to set up military camps and drill grounds. What's more, it was a frontier town, which was originally inhabited, and was closer to the territory of the steppes than the county town of Sadland. The 300 slave cavalry trained by Gould was outside Boulder Town, and most of the horses and equipment that Jose intercepted the Northwest Army last time were also concentrated here, plus the nearly 10,000 recruits gathered here this time, Boulder Town can now be called a small military fortress.
The recruits were quickly gathered again, this time Alok led the 2,000-banner army to Boulder, and the soldiers quickly saw the young county guard. However, this Viscount of Sadran was dressed in a military uniform at the moment, wearing a slim samurai robe and a long sword at his waist.
At this moment, Joseph swept away the commander's style a few days ago, and looked like a soldier. He stood at the head of Boulder Town, looking directly at these new recruits with a serious look on his face. What made Jose very satisfied was that although these guys were still a little scattered, nearly 10,000 people were concentrated in the city, but there was hardly much noise. It seems that these guys already have some discipline in their hearts, at least a lot stronger than they were three days ago, which makes Jose quite satisfied.
He looked at the recruits under the city, many of them were green-faced, most of them were not a few years older than him, and some of the young recruits were even in their early twenties. Most of them had a look of eagerness and excitement on their faces, and it was clear that they didn't know what kind of future was ahead of them.
"I know that many of you have some doubts in your hearts, because in the past few days of assessment, you are the first group of people to pass and reach the end. But you were not incorporated into the garrison, but were 'eliminated', and you must be a little unhappy or dissatisfied in your hearts at this moment, right?!"
José squinted at these guys with a bit of eagerness and a strange smile in his eyes, and then shouted at them: "Maybe some people are still wondering, this Lord Viscount of Sadland is really untrustworthy, obviously said that those who passed the assessment will enter the garrison, but why did he eliminate us, right?!"
The recruits below were a little dissatisfied when they heard Jose say this, but in the past few days, they had learned some rules from the veterans under Aloke. At this moment, no one dared to shout openly, but couldn't help but talk in a low voice.
Seeing this, Jose had a little more smile on his face, and he looked at these recruits under the city with blazing eyes, and then said with a smile: "Very good, at least none of you people dare to openly question my words anymore." But what I want to tell you is that what I said is not wrong, because this so-called selection is not to select you, but to weed out those unqualified guys!"
"You are the real victors, those who have been eliminated have been placed in the First Garrison of Sadrand, and you will enter a better army, even better than the regular armies of the Empire, and of course, more demanding!" shouted Jose at the recruits.
"So, Lord Warden, which army have we entered?" finally a recruit under the city couldn't help but ask in a loud voice.
"You will be incorporated into the First Private Army Infantry Regiment of the House of Sadland! In other words, you will be incorporated into the private army of Viscount Sadland!"
Private Army?!The Sadland Family?!
The recruits outside the city didn't react much, after all, these guys were ordinary commoners and didn't know much about the aristocracy of the empire. However, they did know a little about the meaning of the private army, which meant that they would become the private army of the Viscount of Sadland, instead of receiving military pay from the Empire, and their food, drink, and military expenses would be borne by the Viscount.
At this time, no recruits raised doubts, none of these guys considered whether a viscount with nearly 10,000 private troops was in line with the laws of the empire, as low-level soldiers from ordinary civilian backgrounds, they only had a simple concept in their hearts: no matter what private army and public army, it is the most important thing to be able to eat a full stomach, since this viscount has incorporated them into his own private army, then in the future, he only needs to work hard for this lord!
José squinted his eyes at the reactions of these recruits, and then said with a smile: "You don't have to run for any livelihood in the future, you just need to pick up the weapons in your hands and fight for me!
Maybe you are not strong now, but it doesn't matter, you just need to remember that your life will no longer belong to you from today onwards, but will be in my hands!"
At the end, a keen gaze suddenly erupted in Joseph's eyes, and then he shouted: "From this day forward, your single number will represent my glory, the sword in your hand will be wielded for me, and my will will be directed by your sword!"
