010. Alfonso of Castile
Captain Fang also belongs to the ruling class, and the members under him are subdivided into five types.
Knights, mid- and lower-ranking officers, and the highest rank wore white robes with a red cross painted on the back. Bran also belongs to this level, but he is allowed to join the regiment, hang up the title of apprentice, and the red cross on his body is a "thin line" instead of a "thick line", and he belongs to the rank of squadron leader and above.
Sergeant, a non-commissioned officer, a veteran with meritorious service to kill the enemy, lower rank than knight, squad leader.
Guards, soldiers in general.
Friars, managing wealth, and other trivial matters, are in charge of the Inspector General.
Priests, prayers, salutation, etc. The latter two are far fewer in number than the first three. Headed by the Inspector General.
And there is only a distinction between knights, sergeants and guards, and there is no difference between monks and priests.
After the regimental commander was awarded, Bran became a "trainee squad leader".
But this is an empty title, he does not have any team members, within a year, he passes the assessment, takes out the apprenticeship, and there are many people in the regiment, he can lead a small team by himself or go to other established squads.
The two knights who stood guard for Bran came forward to greet Bran after the ceremony.
The two were Bran's "guides", both wearing thick red cross suits, under squadron leader "Fernando".
"Roman Born, Leary Dan,"
"Castile, Pillay Joseph."
"Florence, Bran Chaman."
Leary and Pillay had just turned seventeen, and had joined the Order less than half a year ago, and they also joined the Order as donors.
This is the kindness of the captain, the two of them are from famous families and wealthy families, and the company of such companions will be helpful for the future road of the Knights.
Castile is located in the middle of the Iberian Peninsula, the westernmost part of the European continent, and is the strongest kingdom on the peninsula today.
The present King of Castille has always wanted to achieve a marriage unity and restore the glory of antiquity.
Changed the name back to "Spain".
"Joseph, I know, who is your father?" Bran asked.
"The palace minister of His Majesty Alfonso of his father." Introduced by Leary Dan.
"Alfonso of Castile", the name gradually appeared in the Mediterranean.
Because of the "Reconquista" led by His Majesty, it was extremely effective.
Since the Dark Ages, the Iberian Peninsula has been divided into thirteen countries, and after the First Crusade, the local Illuminati lords have gradually united into a large force, and several light powers have been born successively, now led by Castile.
Luyo II even considered a "trip to the west".
Leary was the heir to a viscount, and the family had a cardinal. He has a very close relationship with the Holy See.
Bran himself gave only a brief introduction.
The conflict of two or three thousand people in the northern kingdom was nothing, and in the eyes of the other Italian princes, it was dominated by Albert and the Count of Bartha, so the reputation of the Teutonic mercenary group could not reach Rome, and as its master, it was not enough to boast.
But Pillay Joseph was extremely enthusiastic, "Is it the family of the Grand Duke of the Dragon Slayer who holds the Seven-Star Sword in his hand?"
"Yes." Bran nodded.
After being reminded by Pillay, Leary also reacted, no wonder Bran was familiar, it turned out to be a descendant of the bronze statue of the cathedral.
Aristocracy is proud of blood.
Even if he loses his country, Chaman, the former Italian overlord, still has a considerable status in the eyes of the two young people.
They are all aristocrats, and they have a lot of common topics, and the three of them talk directly.
A young man with strong blood is most suitable for drinking drunk directly for fun.
Pillay takes Bran and Leary to the largest tavern in the West Quarter.
"Last time you had a brawl, the regiment issued a six-month ban order, and you still go?" Leary reminded.
"It's already settled, as long as you have money." Pillay laughed.
The trio set off on horseback chatting and half an hour later arrived in front of Pillay's favourite Roman building.
The owner behind the tavern is the Knights, so there is no need to hire a guard, and there is no fear of drunk troublemakers.
Directly in front of it there was also a money bank that specialized in lending, and the funds collected by the fiefdom were used by the officers of the regiment to make money, and there were knights from the East to the Franks.
However, the money lending business was only for the ruler and the members of the group, and not for the new city-states, where the risk was determined to be unacceptable.
The maids in the tavern are all a little beautiful, and almost all of the maids and the members of the group have personal affairs, and after seeing Bran, they cast eager eyes.
When he came to serve, one of them talked and laughed with Pillay.
After they went down first, Pillay changed his face, "Some of them are illegitimate daughters or middle-of-the-road families who come here, they don't have a big background, they just have fun." ”
Pillay was direct, and he treated women, with the exception of aristocrats, with a natural sense of superiority.
Leary, who was born in Rome and grew up listening to the scriptures, is different, he pursues loyal love, but the premise is also a noble woman, a tavern lady, he never looks at it.
He married at the age of fourteen, and he was a cousin he had known since childhood, what an unforgettable feeling, but a typhoid fever, nine months ago, became a young widower.
He was still reluctant to accept the family's new marriage arrangement, so he joined the Knights to avoid these troubles for the time being.
The three of them stood all night, extremely hungry.
But he kept the aristocratic etiquette and ate slowly, and Leary paid a few more copper coins to let a maid pour wine and serve it......
After becoming a member of the Knights, Bran found that the Roman regiment was more numerous than expected, and the total number of guards (soldiers) and servants recruited from all over the country in preparation for the dispatch of troops from the east had exceeded 10,000.
In the logistics of the city of Rome, there were a thousand people.
Due to the lack of living space, Bran lived in his new house, going back and forth between the two places.
When I first joined the group, there was really nothing to do, especially for trainee donors, except for special days, generally only on the first day, eleventh day, and twenty-first day of each month, and only the first day of the month did not need to be gathered for training.
So the next day, the day after tomorrow, the three of them came here in a row.
For three days in a row, Bran and Leary mostly drank water and juice, but Pillay kept drinking for three days.
He proudly said to Bran, "In Castile, the nobles who do not drink and fight bulls are not considered men." ”
"Don't listen to his nonsense, it's a kind of crazy performance, provoking the bison with a red cloth, going around in circles on the field, and once you miss, it becomes a ridiculous picture of being killed by the horns." Leary scoffed.
"You know the."
On this day, the three of them were chatting, and suddenly they talked about one thing, about the "inheritance law".
