"Which tyrant is it?" Carol Road.

"Tyrant" is the exclusive name of the leading aristocracy of the republic, first seen in Florence, where only the family has served as a righteous standard-bearer (consul).

"I guess it's the Pavey family?" Bran looked at his grandfather, "The Pavi family is the second largest business family in the Republic, and they have long competed with the Quake family for the position of the standard-bearer of justice, and it is the most likely. ”

"I don't know, there are at least three or four people who want her life, she wants to establish a stronger security guard to protect her family's wealth and life."

"That's why you designated Carol to train?" Bran asked.

Carol is very famous, in the successive battles between Venice and the Ottomans, there are not many nobles who can survive and receive nicknames, most of them are disgraceful, "gutsless", "cowards".

Carol also once went to the Holy Land of the East to participate in the Crusader War, with the title of Crusader Warrior, if he is willing to nod, not only Megan, but also families above the Marquis will recruit him and give him the title of "Field Knight", and he will be able to leave the manor immediately.

Bran looked at Carol, who immediately took a stand, "I will only be loyal to two Highnesses for the rest of my life. ”

Carol had a very good life in the manor, and his food and clothing were no worse than that of a field knight, but he had fewer subordinates.

"What do you see, Bran?"

"I feel that this is necessary, Mrs. Meghan helps us to gain a foothold in Florence, we have long been seen as her allies in the eyes of others, and we are not happy when she falls, and according to what you said, she is also willing to contribute funds to help us expand our industry, which is a good opportunity to strengthen us."

The three of them all felt that it was feasible, and then decided on the size of the "mercenary group" in Florence, which would require the approval of the noble council, but it was not a big problem here, Meghan's Quake family and his allies would let the proposal pass.

"You say, 'What's the best name?'

Howard was a little excited, and his tone rose in a rare tone, after all, this was a visible armed force, and the goal of recovering the country seemed to be a small step forward.

Generally, mercenary groups will use the name of the founder's location, or choose the pseudonym of heroes in their own blood culture, but Howard is reluctant to use the old, ancient name, he thought about it, and his eyes lit up, "With the name of the first village leader that the Charman family mastered, our current situation is similar to that time." ”

Then the old duke took out a quill pen and lightly counted the strokes, and a group of elegant words appeared.

"Teuton?"

"That's it."

The three of them were in a room and decided on the name of the mercenary group.

The mercenary group was formed, and then it was to find reliable young strength and youth training.

With Mrs. Meghan saying hello to the other mercenary groups first, the recruitment process went quite smoothly.

A month later, the Teutonic Mercenary Regiment, the seventh mercenary in the Florosa Republic, was nominally founded by Lady Meghan's allies, but in fact became the "private soldiers" of the Charman family.

At the same time, the team was placed in the "Rabi Village", near the middle of the meath and the manor.

Originally, the village chief Raymond was worried, the reputation of the mercenary group was too bad, and it could only be said that it was better than the bandit group, but after the Teutonic mercenaries settled in, they did not commit any serious evil in the next few months.

The only time was when someone stole the poultry raised by the villagers, and Carol cut off the small fingers of his left and right hands on the spot, and the others no longer dared to be presumptuous.

And there are also advantages, a lot of training materials are transported to the rabbi village to supply the mercenaries, and the mercenaries who get paid will sometimes spend copper plates on the villagers (such as partnering, or solving physical needs), as long as this matter is wishful thinking, Carol doesn't care.

After referring to several "heraldic books", Howard decided that the mercenary group's heraldic banner was a black eagle.

The use of eagles as a pattern is rare in the world today.

In the days of defending against the "Viking Rebellion" hundreds of years ago, it was more common for Illuminati lords to use eagle images.

Nowadays, it is used to make a strong impression and avoid duplication with other nobles.

The eagle's face is facing left, indicating that it is facing Rome in the lower left of the peninsula.

There is a black iron cross in the eagle's body, because there is no fiefdom title at present, so there is no crown or other symbolic patterns on the eagle's face, and the black eagle holds a sword on each of its left and right feet, symbolizing bravery.

This picture flag was also drawn by Howard, who was an elegant nobleman and was also good at painting.

The number of personnel is distributed according to the types of troops, and the total number is set at 40 in advance.

Twenty-five light infantrymen,

Three ordinary pikemen,

Two Sicilian pikemen,

Five archers,

Riding archers five,

There were no hoplites.

Due to the lack of horses and the price of pig iron continues to rise.

To train one more soldier as a hoplite, the cost of weapons (including horse, saddle, spikes, ......) In terms of ploughing oxen, there are twenty-four at the moment.

Prices vary from region to region, and there will be errors, but it is an indisputable fact that the cavalry spends too much money.

Nearly hollowing out Howard's wealth, the mercenary group was finally established.

On the day of its establishment, Howard fasted and bathed, put on the armor that had accompanied him for many years, and gave a "sword salute" to each mercenary in the village of Rabi.

This is a kind of oath of ownership by the lord ruler to his subjects, which is simplified by knights.

The head of the regiment is an old knight invited by Megan, but it is only a name, and he has only seen it on the day of its establishment, and his name has not been recorded in the logs of the mercenary group after that.

There are two deputy heads, Jack and Iron Mountain, and the power and responsibility are firmly in the hands of the two.

The two of them were in high spirits, especially Tie Shan, who was very excited. The thought of being able to manage so many people made his appetite even better.

Carroll was still the training instructor, and Howard announced the whole regiment, and he had a higher status than the two deputy regimental commanders.

After at least three months of training, they will be on a mission to protect Mrs. Meghan's estate.

The Chaman family will open an inn in the city and take over tasks issued by the "City Occupation Guild", such as night patrol and raid bandits.

And Bran didn't need to worry about these things, he just ate and played with Albert.

Four days after entering the city of Meath, the church's celebration came to an end and went uneventful.

The two were led by Lady Meghan into the monastery gate together.

In the early days of the monastery, both men and women had regular schedules. But nowadays it is strictly stipulated that they must be separated.

The first monasteries were built in the valleys of southern Italy by ascetics, and gradually became a group of clergy who were also disappointed in the world.

The monastery itself was self-sufficient, a center of production, and even had a surplus of land, estates, granaries, cellars, vegetable gardens, etc., as well as specially cultivated herbs, medical treatments, and only paid taxes to God's kingdom on earth (the Holy See).

To master the wealth, then it is necessary to defend it by secular force, and the entrance of the main monastery is guarded by armed samurai, and there are two teams of ten, who take turns to guard the monastery.

From the outside, it is already very large, but once you enter, it is even more magnificent, and the monastery is a microcosm of society, with a nursery (orphans or abandoned babies), an infirmary (for the sick), a place of worship, a madrasah, and even a cemetery for the burial of priests.

Stepping here, separated by a wall, Bran seems to be far away from the world, except for prayers and labor, the monastery is always quiet, and even the sound of walking is regulated.
