Draxle let out a long sigh, shook his head and looked at the sky, and after a long time, muttered:

"I don't blame that old horseman, I'm blaming myself, why didn't I fortify early! I have never studied the trust and relationship between me and the king, and I feel that I have neglected myself. ”

"Then you will be more attentive and thoughtful in the future, since things have happened, it is pointless for you to be unhappy! Or think about the future, do you really plan to rely on a few of us women to help you guard the town? ”

The convulsions, especially the last one, struck the Baron in the heart.

Since becoming the new lord of Uxhall, although Dracel has also made some achievements and fame on the continent of Calradia, the reputation of "Flame Knight" is not completely wasted.

But, but, but! But every time he fights, economic development, and even daily life, he can't do without or even rely a little on a few women around him.

To take care of the dragon cub Wren's daily life, and the most crucial part of feeding, he has to rely on Safiya.

Recruit well-trained taverns who can directly go into battle to kill the enemy, and he has to rely on Ronelle, the emperor.

Now that he has been suppressed and expelled by the kingdom, he has been forced to go to Liangshan and has no way out, and he has to rely on the Valkyrie Tianyan.

His most important dragon partner, the soldier foundation he needs the most, and the development path of the earl that he is most looking forward to, these three major things on his mind are firmly grasped by different high-quality women.

He was silent for a long time, and finally came to his senses and silently communicated to the system:

system, let's gag, fight and laugh, can we pause for a while?

I...... I want to be really strong, I want to really protect my family, I'm a man, I have an innate sense of responsibility.

[System prompt: You are so serious, it's the first time, no problem, let me look at you, how to break out of the cocoon into a butterfly, enthusiastic and inspirational. When you're done, we'll move on to each other. 】

system, thank you for your recognition. So I would like to ask, is there any way for me to build my own troops?

The most fatal pain point of Drassel, and at the same time the pain point of all the lords on this continent, the soldiers they can directly recruit are all subordinate to their respective kingdoms.

When they recruited soldiers, they also did so in the name of the kings of their respective kingdoms, not all of them based on their fiefdoms and reputations.

This will lead to a tragedy similar to the previous one in Uxhall, where almost all the lords live under the watchful eye of their own king, and there are definitely cronies and "eyes" installed by the king in the army.

The most suffocating thing is that this situation is unavoidable, and once you want to recruit soldiers to strengthen your strength, it means that sooner or later your every move will be known by your own king.

So, a little bit of wind and grass, the kings are clear. Of course, these are not the most tragic, the most tragic is when you are hammered or wrongfully accused of treason......

The soldiers who had worked so hard to cultivate themselves might not follow him without hesitation at that time!

Just like the 40 or so Swadia soldiers before them, they left Drassel without hesitation, and their family and everything about them remained deeply rooted in the Swadia Kingdom.

How could they, at the risk of losing their family, their homeland, and their honor as a warrior, follow the baron in front of them, who was not strong enough to be invincible and arrogant.

To sum up, it is the most precious experience that Draxle summed up after experiencing this lesson. At the same time, he didn't want to rely on the tavern to hire knights to strengthen himself.

I, Drassel, should protect women, and I can't do it now, but at least I'm going to try to protect them.

Since Ronier can use her charm and level to create a unique tavern on this continent and build her own tavern army, why can't I?

The baron's thoughts can be seen at a glance.

[System prompt: Don't worry, you have this determination and attitude, I appreciate it. In this way, you cooperate with Arthur and the draw to take Fort Gili well, and then ...... I'll work with you to build your own private army of Drassel! 】

The deal was dealed, the gentleman was hard to follow, and Drassel silently replied to the system in his heart.

[System prompt: You are a gentleman, you have to keep your promises, as for me...... I'm just a robot, even if I go back on my word, what do you do with me, you have nothing to do~]

We are finally about to transform into a passionate inspirational fan, and you are here to play for labor and management! Okay, good, get rolled, get offline.

Draxel ended the conversation with the system rather unhappily, but after that, after a series of deliberations and listening to the words that had been pumped into.

At this moment, Drassell's eyes and aura changed subtly, and from his eyes, there was a maturity that had been precipitated by wind and frost.

It's not so much maturity as growth, but also very appropriate.

In 5-6 days, the army will march to the gates of the great city of Giliburg.

Draxel motioned for Arthur the Brave to move his troops away from Fort Gili first, and Count Harlan may not know that he had already switched to another country.

Perhaps he could enter the castle without bloodshed, and then secretly open the gates, let Arthur in, and lay a net for Earl Harlan.

Arthur agrees with the baron's proposal, having fought with Earl Harlan when he was in the north.

He knew that the other party was not good at stubble, and he just used Draxel's strategy to reduce the losses of his troops.

At this time, in Drasel's guess, the main city gate should have not been repaired, in a dilapidated state, if you want to attack the city, you can easily rush in.

In addition, it is estimated that the residences, streets and other facilities inside the castle have not had time to be cleaned and repaired.

This also means that if you lead an army to rush into the city, the enemy's internal defenses can only be arranged in a mess, and there is no chance to resist at all.

Drassell estimated that as long as Count Harlan's reinforcements had not arrived, it would only take Arthur's cooperation to bring about 20 high-level soldiers to take this place.

If memory serves, the last time he said goodbye to Count Harlan, he was left with only 14 wounded soldiers.

"Arthur, let's use the firelight as a signal, tonight on this broken main city gate, as long as you see the firelight, lead 20 5th-order Nord royal personal guards, sneak in, and I will open the door for you."
