Due to the large number of rebels, it was impossible to reorganize them all, and perhaps most gladiators would obey the management, but the rest of the rabble must have had their own ideas.

If the rebels had been under Brutus' control, Brutus had been both an officer in the regular army and a local lord, and the rebels were actually in order when he was under him.

But within a few days of Castro taking control of the army, the rabble had gone from an orderly force to a rogue and expanded without limits.

Castro may have fought for his freedom, but most of the slaves he recruited probably didn't know what they were fighting for—no matter what the age or place, the vast majority of them were just going with the flow.

Moreover, the quality of these slaves was uneven, and they were never trained, and they may not even be able to understand military orders, so not everyone was suitable to become a warrior.

It is also unlikely that Leon will go to war with nearly 10,000 ill-armed and equipped slaves, and an undisciplined and poorly equipped army can easily fall into disarray, and it is also easy to turn against the leader.

This was the main reason why Leon had to occupy Cullen Deer Fort - he had to give most of the rebels a place to live and select the available men among them, otherwise this huge army would be nothing more than a bunch of rogues, no matter how large they were, they would not last.

"Capture of Karen Deer Castle", the lord of the Lion Kingdom is of course the best follower for this rebel army.

Karen Deer Fort is now an empty city, and most of them are placed there, so that they don't have to leave their homeland to go to the Lion Realm, and they don't let some low-quality people harm the people.

After a period of management and training at Karen Deer Castle, these people can become soldiers or citizens only after completing the transition.

And Karen Deer Fort is now the only place in the neighborhood where the Red Death can be ascertained.

A day later, the huge rebel army was regrouped, and after two major wars, it still had 8,000 men.

Sigismund, along with Brutus, selected two thousand qualified warriors from among them, and gathered a mess of booty and armed them on the spot.

In fact, most of the two thousand men were gladiators or reserve soldiers, which was what Alina had originally planned.

That is, the real troops that Brutus had been managing when he carried out the plan, all of them were soldiers who were trained to obey military orders.

This unit has a new designation - the Free Corps of Pande.

In fact, the name of the legion was also envisioned by Emperor Marius and Alina.

And the remaining slaves followed Jocelyn to Karen Deer Castle, where these people could reconsider the future.

If they are to join the army, they will be trained by Jocelyn to replenish the Freikorps' forces after completing their training.

If you don't want to fight and just want to live well, there is also a lot of unowned farmland around Karen Deer Castle, and there are even enough houses in Seren Village to live in as long as the roof, doors and windows are repaired.

Now that Leon is the master of Karen Deer Castle, the village of Seren is no longer the front line between the two countries.

The newly formed Freikorps still had a bit of a look, and the gladiators would train in training camps for a long time, and their obedience was actually good.

But this force still lacks something very important.

For the lords, what they lack is actually the most important necessity of an army - faith.

Because they have now lost their sense of purpose.

The gladiators led the rebels to rebel for freedom, which was a strong goal driver, and Emperor Marius and Alina envisioned that the army would need to take out Sheila Yuzas's rebels after being formed into a legion.

Their sense of purpose against slavery drove them to rebel, and by doing so, they were absolved of the sin of rebellion and set them free.

If everything goes according to plan, it does seem fair and reasonable.

However, this legion lost control halfway and inflicted heavy casualties on Justes's Imperial First Legion

Killed at least half of the nobles of the city, which may have been a welcome sight for Emperor Marius and Justus, but it was no longer possible for them to receive any more pardons, so they were able to swear their allegiance to Leon.

But in doing so, they have been given the status of freedmen under the lord, which makes them feel that it is right to follow Count Leon, but it also makes them lose their original faith.

The strong armies of the Pande Continent have their own beliefs.

The Noldors want to bring the elven race to glory again, and they follow Leon to fight for the continuation of the race;

Amy's griffon talons follow in the footsteps of their predecessors, and being the goal of becoming a female knight drives them to rally around Amy;

The Shadow Legion is bent on defending the interests of the old Bacchus, and can even oppose the Emperor for this;

The Knights of the Radiant Cross are committed to healing the sick and saving people, bringing hope to the mainland;

The Horn summons the Ranger to face any enemy in order to defend their homeland;

Decades ago, the Lion Knights fought chivalrous to help the poor and help the country and the people, and today's Lion Knights want to maintain the glory and status of the royal knights;

Even the Knights of the Ebony Gauntlet have convictions, perhaps because they do have hatred for Noldor, or maybe they are for the benefits they can gain after capturing Noldor;

The non-commissioned officer unit directly under Li Ang also has a natural sense of mission - for the good life that the lord has brought them.

A unit without a sense of purpose cannot be brought to fight against a strong enemy, and people's will comes from the mission and belief in their hearts, and a unit that does not have firm conviction can only fight a smooth battle.

But now the newly formed Freikorps have no conviction.

However, Leon still needs to take them to deal with the threat of the Serpent Cult......

However, it seems that it is not just the lord who thinks about this.

After the Freikorn of 2,000 men had lined up, Sigismund made an unexpected declaration to them......

"Brothers, Lord Leon is the legendary Child of Prophecy...... He is the hero who can save the continent in Madigan's prophecy! He will lead us to fight for the common people who suffer the same injustice and suffering as we do, for a free and stable life! We will follow the true king of Pande!"

"Child of Prophecy! The new king of Pande! Phew!!"

Asked Sigismund to put his troops in order, which was originally due to the inconvenience of Brutus's wounds, and Sigismund was more familiar with this force.

But everyone, including Leon, didn't expect him to give such a speech!

But perhaps such a statement is indeed effective, and the gladiators certainly yearn for freedom and stability, and it does make the gladiators feel a reason to fight in confusion - for the sake of those who have experienced injustice like them.

Under the tsunami-like shouts of the Freikorps' "Children of Prophecy", Sigismund fell to his knees in front of Leon: "Excuse me, Lord Leon, but I took matters into my own hands...... I promised the brethren that I would bring them to the Children of Prophecy so that there would be no slaves and tyranny on this continent......

Leon looked left and right, and the gladiators raised their swords in their hands, shouting "Son of Prophecy, King of Pande......

"Fight for freedom!"

This situation can only be guided but not stopped, and the lord has to raise the sword in his hand, force a smile, and shout slogans.

Wendelph behind her was quite smart, and immediately led the Noldor Guards to shout in unison, "Fight for freedom!"

The uniform slogans barely drowned out the chaotic shouts of "King Pande".

Afterwards, everyone began to chant "Fight for Freedom" in a neat mountain.

The lord let out a long breath, but he still held his sword, and the smile on his face did not dare to restrict.

"You don't trust me...... Are you trying to make me enemies of all kingdoms in this way?"

Leon looked at the troops, but spoke to Sigismund, who was kneeling in front of him, "Do you know how much trouble you can cause with these words?"

"I admit that I am a coercion, but I finally see hope for a change in the whole continent......

Sigismund remained on his knees and bowed his head, "And, when you are in control of such a civilian army, you will inevitably face the hostility of all kingdoms, Lord Leon. No matter how good your relationship with the other nobles was, from this day forward, you can only be the child of prophecy......

"Maybe you're right, but you shouldn't be talking about it on your own! I have my own way of doing things...... Sigismund, you're making decisions for me!"

The lord glanced at Sigismund, and his eyes were rather unkind.

"Lord Leon, I know that the Child of Prophecy may be just a legend, and I know that this name will have many consequences...... But I'm just trying to make sure that you really are going to be what you say...... Save civilians and bring peace to the Pander continent."

Sigismund raised his head and looked up into the eyes of the lord, "I am willing to give everything for this, and most gladiators are ...... like me."

"But have you ever thought about it...... If the Child of Prophecy is not a legend, what if I am really the Child of Prophecy?"

Lord Lords sighed, "And...... What's more important is your last sentence! The real king of Pande? I don't even plan to be king yet!"

"My lord, my personal experience tells me that no matter what you plan now, as long as you have a large civilian army, you will not be king...... That will cause some nobleman to claim the throne with your head!"

Sigismund's gaze hardened, "And people need heroes...... Whether it has anything to do with the legendary Child of Prophecy or not, as long as he fights for the common people, he will be regarded as the Child of Prophecy by everyone!"

Maybe Sigismund was right.

The Pander continent is always eroded by all kinds of evils......

Bandits run rampant, cults run wild, and most of the lords do not protect the civilians, but the constant fighting continues to exacerbate the suffering of the people.

Food is eternally scarce, and life is eternally full of uncertainty.

Decades ago, people kept mentioning Madigan's prophecy that they really needed a hero to save the suffering.

Twenty years ago, in the village of Vizan in the Raven Realm, a young man and his stubborn wife once again lost everything they had worked so hard to build.

Their homeland was completely destroyed by the battle between the two Raven Lords.

I don't know how many times this is, anyway, this kind of thing always happens, the war entanglement between the nobles, but the people who are hurt are always the commoners.

After much thought, the couple decided that they would no longer tolerate attacks by the Van Scarry pirates and the Misty Mountain Barbarians, and that they would no longer grow crops on the farmland that had been burned by the Raven army.

They decided to gather anyone who wanted to resist all threats and protect those who could not defend themselves.

With a bit of talent and luck, the couple and a small group of volunteers they recruited achieved many victories over the attackers around their village.

Soon after, the number of their team began to grow rapidly.

The two men were joined by people from all over the country, fighting for civilians and quickly forming a huge alliance.

The pirates and bandits began to fear this civilian army, and the nobles began to fear them, as they would kill anyone who carried on their territory, whether it was the armies of raiders or nobles.

Dressed in white and calling themselves "Civilian Knights", they established the first force in the Pander continent to belong entirely to civilians.

The young couple who established this power also came to be known as the "heroes of Madigan's prophecy" and became known as the children of prophecy.

But this victory over the young did not last forever.

The stubborn woman's name was Claire, but that name has been forgotten by the vast majority of people.

It is only known that she was killed in a battle by a Van Skerry leader, a pirate leader named Vidis.

The man was also defeated on the battlefield by the combined forces of the three forces: Lion, Raven, and Fieldsway.

The power they had built up was again reinforced

The scorched earth was scorched, and almost all the "civilian knights" died on that land.

In fact, this "civilian knights" never intended to attack any country, they just wanted to live a peaceful life.

But when they reached a certain size, all the noble lords saw them as targets that they had to get rid of—even those who were considered gentle and kind.

And the fact that the original Fields Alliance was recognized by the two countries of Lion and Raven, and that it became a kingdom from an alliance of warlords had something to do with it.

The commander of the coalition that exterminated the "Commoner Knights" was King Vidis of Fieldsway, who was only known as the "Leader of Vidis" at the time, but was put on the throne by the nobles after he killed the leader of the Commoner Knights, known as the "Son of Prophecy".

However, the man did not die on the battlefield.

Good luck seems to have always been with him, and he has been lucky to survive many times when he is certain to die.

But it wasn't until his wife was killed in battle and his troops were wiped out that he realized that the first half of his life was not fighting for civilians.

He was just fighting for a peaceful and peaceful life.

His name, Sigismund, literally means "to guard with victory", but he never did, even though he had won numerous victories.

Because war only brings death......
