Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Lion's First Sword!
"I have no objection to being the commander of the corrections unit, but it may be a bit inappropriate to have my sister my squire......"
Hyde was a little surprised by the appointment, and he tried to excuse himself, but the words were immediately interrupted by the white-robed high-ranking officer.
"You're a melee power god who needs a mage by your side, and metal has excellent perks for knights, so it's the best choice. If you don't accept it, will I put a mid-level metal mage in the death squad to feed the horses or cook the meal? Do you think the empire has become so rich?"
The voice of the old high priest of Sharya actually became humorous, and many of the soldiers and officers who were watching couldn't help but laugh at this sentence. Catherine's face was red to the base of her neck, and the punishment was to make herself a subordinate of her cousin, a result that the proud girl did not expect, and the breath she had just puffed up suddenly disappeared, and she fell into an embarrassing situation.
"I know that your female companion is an extremely rare Apocalypse Life Mage and Divine Servant, and I know that she has been in war and military for several years. But I have to point out that her ability to control the winds of magic is at best a junior apprentice, and your sister can help her with a lot of things, which will be advantageous for the decisive battle that will be faced in the near future. You are the son of the Valkyrie Princess of Tubaro, who was mighty in Tiriel, and you are the god of the Valkyrie Mirmidia, and there is no objection that Tubaro's soldiers are under your command. Alright, no nonsense! This command is unchangeable. ”
The white-robed officer smiled and patted Hyde's shoulder, the severity had vanished, and the old man had regained his usual gentleness. Hyde had to admit in his heart that these words made a lot of sense. In fact, Grisha had told Hyde and the others yesterday that Frey's magical skills were extremely rudimentary, and it was still difficult to use her amazing magical potential, and that if she had to go to the battlefield, she had to be more careful. But the thought that his unruly cousin would have to stick to him from now on gave the young god a little headache.
"Your Excellency, the Imperial Court's Grand Officer, I, Cicero, also request to be joined by the Punishment Death Squad. I was also one of the people who shot just now, and I also foolishly swung my sword at the beloved son of Her Royal Highness Princess Valkyrie, and in order to make up for my mistake, I will lead the guards of Tubaro to share our due responsibility with the princess. ”
The white-haired Edgeworth Director finally seized the opportunity to step out, and he solemnly bowed his knees to the Grand Baggage Officer, and then made this special request.
"I can agree to this request, you can be merged into the Fourth Punishment Brigade as normal soldiers of the Collaborative Death Squad, this will not change your treatment and status, and there is a precedent in the Imperial Code. But Catherine could no longer be an officer during the Great Holy War, and she had to bear the punishment as Hyde's squire. ”
The Grand Lieutenant replied indifferently to Cicero's suggestion, but immediately there was a stirring in Tubaro's array, and a young officer wearing a turned-up hat and a cuirass rushed out and loudly expressed his dissent, and the veins on his face burst out with impatience and anger.
"I'm Andre Paluka, the artillery captain of the Tubaro Guard! We, the citizen warriors of Tubaro, are fearless and join the death squad, but I and the soldiers must not accept Midland's ......"
There was irrepressible anger in André's voice, but his words were immediately interrupted by Cicero.
"Don't be troubled!André, it's not your turn to be ignorant, hairy, talkative! Are you going to rebel against the holy Valkyrie Mirmidia? Do you want to rebel against the glorious Valkyrie Princess?"
The bearded old superintendent shoved the reckless young officer away, and he almost roared in rage. But the Grand Lieutenant was not angry, he smiled, brushed aside Rick's guards beside him, took a few steps closer to Tubaro's guards, and answered their questions in a calm voice.
"I know the old story of Tubaro and Midland, and I don't want to rehash it. But what I want to point out to you is that Hyde doesn't represent Midland right now, so you don't need to be suspicious. ”
The voice of the Grand Baggage Officer was not loud, but it carried an astonishing message, and the soldiers of Tubaro fell silent, and the artillery officer named Andre was also stunned.
"The Duchy of Midland did not provide Hyde with core knights and guards, he did not have half a white wolf warrior under his command, and he did not have any position in Midland. But he is now an officer of the Imperial Court, and the Imperial Court has given him duties and honors, so you obey Hyde, an officer of the Imperial Court, not Prince Hyde of Midland. ”
The white-robed gold-armored officer paused, straightened his shoulders, and continued to teach the stunned Tubaro soldiers in front of him in a calm voice.
"I can tell you that His Excellency Hyde has made great achievements in the first day of his reign, he has slain a slacker ugly Chosen One, saved the wife of the Generalissimo of the Empire, and saved the life of an Imperial general, whose exploits in the Great Holy War have been officially recorded by the Empire, and the Sacred Court has always been rewarded for his merits. Now that the commander-in-chief of the army, Marshal Yang, had learned of Hyde's exploits, even His Royal Highness the Holy Crown Prince had heard the name of the young god. You don't know how wrong your princess has just been. ”
The old man's compliment made Hyde blush a little, and the young warrior was a little unaccustomed to this kind of scene. Beads of sweat were on both Edgeworth's foreheads, and Andre, the young artillery officer who had just been puffed up, froze like a stake, and he didn't know what to do.
"It is an indescribable honor for my master, His Highness Hyde, to be so loved by His Royal Highness the Great Crown Prince of the Empire, Sigmar is on top of him, praising the glory of the Holy Court!"
Frey's surprise half-kneeled in salute to the Lord, and at the same time jerked Hyde, who noticed that old Loren was doing the same, and so on. In fact, at the mention of "His Royal Highness the Holy Crown Prince", all the Imperial soldiers almost immediately raised their arms in salute, their swords and spears gleaming in the midday sun. After hesitating for a moment, Tubaro's soldiers made the same expression, and the voices of praise for the royal court rolled like a tidal wave.
"You know the court's etiquette very well, and you are a clever girl, much smarter than your lover's reckless cousin. ”
The white-robed and gold-armored old man showed his smile to Frei, and with a faint wave of his hand, a shining Sharaya Sacred Seal immediately covered Frei's injured hand silently, with gentle magic fluctuations. Then, he turned around and continued to explain his will to Tubaro's soldiers.
"In addition to this, as you have just seen, Hyde is a deity of Mirmidia, and his exploits have added luster to the heroic Valkyrie Mirmidia. According to the ancient customs of the Tyrir states, is it not the glory of the Tirir warriors to fight under the gods of Mirmidia, and will the Tirils disobey the grace of the wise Valkyrie, and will you disobey the will of your patron saint and the supreme court?"
The logic of the Great Boss was irrefutable, and this final blow left all the Tubaros speechless. Mirmidia's faith was sacred in the states of Tyrill, and as Sigmar and Yurik were in the Empire, the words of the Grand Ruler struck their deaths, and no one could raise any objection to this reasonable arrangement.
"The people of Tyril will never turn their backs on the valiant Valkyrie Mirmidia, and I accept your just ruling, and I will faithfully submit to the arrangements of the Imperial Court and to the will of Mirmidia to glorify the gods of His Excellency Hyde. Tubaro is a loyal vassal of the Imperial Court, and always will be!"
After a brief moment of silence, Catherine shook her crimson curls and bowed her knees in reply to the Grand Officer. The scantily clad beautiful princess's voice was a little excited, and faint tears rolled in her big black eyes.
"We will loyally obey the arrangements of the Imperial Court, obey the will of His Excellency Hyde, the Glory God of Mirmidia, and obey the will of the Martial God Princess Aiko!"
Led by the Edgeworth, all the Tubaro soldiers half-knelt down and took an oath, their spears shaking like trees in the wind. The big officer smiled in return, Grisha and the others relaxed, and the accident in Kharkov at noon ended with a comedy result.
-----------------------------------------------------
"This is the compilation table of the Fourth Death Brigade, Your Highness, you can see it. In fact, it turned out that there were not many people in this death-daring army, because most of them were either taken to the front line by Marshal Yang or died in battle. Now there are only a hundred people left in Kharkov, some of them criminals and bandits who have volunteered to join, some of them soldiers who have fought and injured people, officers who have violated military law, and in fact, a few Norse barbarians, who were originally auxiliary troops recruited by the empire in the north, and who later went to the punishment brigade after violating military law. All in all, those guys don't matter, and you just think of this brigade as if you were the reading force you brought these Tubaro, oh, and Lady Keighrie. ”
The Imperial Staff Officer in charge of the archives was a very attentive man, and he brought the roster and seal of the Corrections Force, as well as the special Brigade Authority Badge to Hyde. As a matter of fact, this "Fourth Death Brigade," which originally did not even have a full squadron of troops, suddenly made a fortune, got rid of poverty overnight, and became a reinforced brigade with 1,000 troops, equipped with artillery, elite hoplites, and quite a lot of cavalry, and its strength was about to catch up with half of the wing.
The reason why this death squad got rid of poverty and became rich is very simple, not only did Cicero lead all his 800 Tubaro elite soldiers to join Hyde's command, but the more than 100 Ugol cavalry brought by Hyde did not return to Kislev, but decided to follow Hyde under the leadership of Captain Sajesky. General Ushakov then assigned two more squadrons of Ugol cavalry, a full 230 archers and lancers, to Hyde on the grounds that the Tubaros were all infantry and artillery, and needed the cooperation and assistance of cavalry.
As a result, the "Fourth Death Brigade" suddenly had 12,300 soldiers. His banner consisted of three hundred and twenty heavily armored super spearmen, one hundred and eighty musketeers, one hundred gunners, one hundred crossbowmen, nearly a hundred swordsmen, halberdiers and archers, more than a dozen brute cavalry, more than two hundred Ugol archers, ninety Ugol light spearmen, and a rather good artillery unit--- six pit viper cannons that fired two-pound shells, three six-barreled organ cannons that fired three-quarter-pound shotguns, and two small salamander cannons that fired six-pound shells. In addition to these, there were sixty cannon-towing mules and forty horse-drawn wagons, which served as the direct logistics unit of the unit.
In fact, it's a generous gift. Hyde, who had been penniless at the military station a month earlier, and who had no other companions except for old Loren, was now rightfully the commander of a thousand-strong army. His hat is embrained with a purple peacock feather and the Imperial Court's Silver Griffin Insignia, the emblem of the Imperial Court Legion's Captain. However, this sudden appointment also made him a little nervous, after all, he did not know much about the arrangement and handling of the army.
