"Hell! A communication crystal isn't that expensive? I am afraid that only you, a wealthy earl, would say such a thing. ”

"A viscount like me in a poor country can't even get together a Tana to build roads!"

Looking at the illusory girl who greeted him, Viscount Remisio couldn't help but complain.

Charlotte smiled slightly:

"Oh? Is it? But it seems to me that you are not so short of money. ”

Listening to Charlotte's words, Viscount Remisio fell silent.

He glanced at Charlotte with a complicated look and sighed:

"Your Excellency Charlotte, you don't have to be so tempted."

"I know what you mean, you don't hesitate to use the teleportation crystal to talk to me, just to ask me why I have been neutral in the rebellion of Castel even though I have agreed to send troops, right?"

】

Charlotte nodded:

"yes, I'm curious."

"I think the terms given should be quite generous, even if you remove the commission for hiring Kingdom soldiers, you will be able to get at least half a million quintana in return for this war......"

"Now, however, you have chosen neutrality."

"Although we have not signed a formal contract, thanks to the many years of friendship between the Castels and the Remisio family, I hope to get an answer."

Listening to Charlotte's words, Viscount Remisio also sighed:

"Yes, at least half a million quintana."

"As long as you change the banner and participate in a battle, even the transcendent will not have too many conscripts to get so much money, even the best mercenary group in Miria."

"But ......"

"But...... I can't do it! ”

Speaking of this, Viscount Remisio looked sad.

The sad expression was like a boiled duck flying.

"Huh? You can't do it? ”

Charlotte frowned slightly.

Viscount Remisio sighed:

"yes......"

"Your Excellency Charlotte, do you know, I even prepared the family flag that I had put out, but I received a ban from the military before leaving......"

"His Majesty the King has an order to strictly investigate the chaos of noble officers in the kingdom's army changing the flag of the army for personal use, and violators will not only be removed from the post of commander, but the situation will be serious and even convicted!"

"You should also know that my Viscount Remisio is a little more barren than the poorest part of the Duchy of Boulder, and most of my income as a Kingdom Commander actually subsidizes the territory......"

"I, the Remisio family, must not lose my position as Legion Commander."

"In this case, even if I want to earn your 500,000 quintana, I have no heart......"

Listening to Viscount Remisio's words, Charlotte's brows furrowed even deeper:

"His Majesty's order? Why did His Majesty suddenly issue such a ban? As far as I know, isn't it an open secret that the noble commander changed the flag and used the kingdom army in charge privately? ”

Charlotte was really weird.

Let's say that although the Star and Moon War was won that year, the Crescent Moon Kingdom was also a miserable victory.

The Crescent royal family simply did not have enough funds to maintain a large regular army and had to rely on the nobility to some extent.

In fact, the identity of many of the current kingdom armies is model, often having the identity of a regular army and a certain background of aristocratic private army.

In this case, the Crescent royal family has also been turning a blind eye to the royal army that the noble commander is in charge of changing the flag for personal use.

After all, part of the maintenance fee for the regular army was paid for by the aristocracy.

Charlotte, who has made up for the political and military intelligence of the Crescent Kingdom, also knows these things.

And this is also the confidence that she has the confidence to hire regular troops from Viscount Remisio.

Viscount Remisio smiled bitterly:

"Yes, in the past, His Majesty the King has always turned a blind eye, but looking at it now, I'm afraid that such good days will also pass."

"It is already well known that His Majesty wants to strengthen his authority, and military power is the most important thing, and this ban should be a signal that His Majesty is ready to rectify the army."

"Your Excellency Charlotte, His Majesty the King has issued an order that in the future, the movement of the regular army must be formally ordered by the military, and the commander shall not be transferred without an order."

Listening to Viscount Remisio's words, Charlotte suddenly felt helpless.

After all, the regular army of the kingdom is loyal to the royal family, and the royal family still provides the bulk of the expenses such as equipment, extraordinary consumables, and military salaries.

As for the part of the maintenance expenses borne by the nobles, it was mainly the supply of military rations, and this part of the maintenance costs was only a small part in front of the regular army, which had the lion's share of extraordinary expenses.

If the Crescent royal family is determined to reorganize the army, then there is really no way.

"So, if you want to call the army in the future, you must get the consent of the military?"

Charlotte asked.

"yes, it's not that free from now on."

Viscount Remisio sighed.

As he spoke, he smiled bitterly again:

"It's not all bad, though, at least...... All future expenses will be provided by the royal family, and we, the commanders, will not have to worry about military rations as before. ”

"As for the rest...... There are policies and countermeasures, so let's talk about it after this rumor has passed! ”

"It's just that now, I really can't help Castel."

Listening to Viscount Remisio's words, Charlotte sighed slightly:

"I see. Since it is the decision of His Majesty the King, there is no way. ”

"Your Excellency Charlotte, although I cannot provide direct military help to Castel, as the commander of the defending forces of the Castel Silver Mine, at least I can guarantee the safety of the Castel Mine."

"I can promise that as long as the Castells rule remains, the Mithril Mine will not fall into the hands of the rebels, and this is the last thing I can do."

Viscount Remisio said.

Charlotte nodded:

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your promise, it has been a great help to be able to hold the mine. After the rebellion is over, I will still pay you a certain amount of quintana as a token of appreciation. ”

Viscount Remisio suddenly smiled:

"Hehe, then I'll accept it unceremoniously."

And after speaking, he looked solemn again:

"By the way, Lord Charlotte, there's one more thing...... Please be careful with the third prince. ”

"Be careful...... The Third Prince? ”

Charlotte's heart jumped.

Viscount Remisio nodded and said in a deep voice:

"Yes, Lord Charlotte, do you know why His Majesty would reorganize the army at this point in time?"

Charlotte's eyes moved slightly:

"Could it be...... Something to do with the third prince? ”

Viscount Remisio nodded:

"The news came from the trail that the reorganization of the kingdom's army was the proposal of the newly appointed military governor, Duke Orton, and Duke Orton...... I got very close to the third prince. ”

"It is said that in Duke Orton's proposal, he even specifically named the kingdom troops stationed around Castel's leadership, including the mine defenders I was in charge of, and almost all the army commanders that Castel might contact were on the list."

"That's why I don't dare to send troops out of the mines."
