The plan to purge the Gran Forest of Aliens was not implemented at all due to the obstruction of the Council of Elders, but Grand Duke Cayde did not give up and gathered the nobles who had the power to send troops again.

This kind of private placement often happens, because it is a private soldier, so the 'Council of Elders' has no right to interfere, but all the expenses of recruiting private soldiers are borne by the recruiter.

The maximum number of private soldiers allowed by the state is 30,000, and if this number is exceeded, the 'Council of Elders' has the right to intervene.

"Thirty thousand? ”

Raymond shook his head.

30,000 troops, which sounds like a lot, but you must know that the number of goblins is in the hundreds of thousands.

After the mutation of the weak goblins, not only the IQ has increased greatly, but the reproductive ability has also been greatly strengthened, and the clearing operation is not to infiltrate, but to fight with real swords and guns, even if the goblin's force is poor, but hundreds of thousands against 30,000, the number is still too disparity.

Grand Duke Cayde was a little helpless: "Then what should I do? The number of private soldiers is not allowed to exceed 30,000, otherwise the four old guys of the Council of Elders will interfere, and at that time, nothing can be done." ”

Raymond thought for a moment and said, "If the strength of the soldiers can reach the middle level, 30,000 may be barely enough." ”

"That can't ......"

If anyone can have a mid-level professional army with 30,000 people, they can simply run rampant on the Arad continent.

In the Duchy of Belmar, the most famous private soldier is the golden soldier of Duke Feinan's family, if you want to become a golden soldier, your strength must reach the middle level, in fact, this is just a slogan to show off, in fact, Duke Feinan's regular golden soldiers, not even three hundred, the rest are all made up......

"Even if you recruit members of the adventure group to join, it will be difficult to make up 30,000 people, and if it is 2,000 people, it can barely ......."

"Let me think again. ”

Grand Duke Cayde sighed.

"If you can temporarily raise the strength of the soldiers to the middle level, it should be possible, right?" a thought suddenly flashed through Raymond's mind.

As soon as Raymond came out of the Grand Duke of Cade's mansion, he was invited by Roman's men into a luxurious carriage.

The carriage drove all the way to the West Coast, and after getting out of the carriage, Raymond saw Roman smiling and waiting for him in front of a mansion.

"Brother, look at my new home. ”

Roman pulled Raymond into the house, rockery and real water, front and back yards, everything, such a house, and near the downtown area of the West Coast, the value can be imagined.

Raymond was confused and followed Roman to admire the new mansion, and Roman stretched out his hand and pointed: "From now on, this mansion belongs to you." ”

Raymond was about to speak, but Roman waved his hand: "Don't refuse, I'm just investing, as a standard loser, like this, it's not the first time I've done it." ”

Raymond was stunned and nodded with a smile.

"That day at the tavern, you were right, if the Delos Empire really invaded Belmar, then what am I? I will have nothing and become a lowly slave, so I will make more investments before that day comes. ”

Raymond laughed: "Your investment should not be a loss." ”

Roman is not stupid, and he is shrewd in some things.

In the new house, there are servants, servants, everything, and the subordinates and servants here are genuine, unlike the German ones who spend a lot of money to hire, they all belong to Roman, and Roman can let them do anything unconditionally.

Since Raymond was not a nobleman, he was not legally entitled to own the mansion, but borrowed it from Roman, of course, without a date for its return at all.

"Now I suddenly feel that it would be a good choice to have a good identity. ”

"Brother, I am optimistic about you, I have begged my father to ask the queen for a pardon these days, once the queen agrees, you will immediately resume your status as a nobleman, and at that time, no matter what you do, it will be very convenient. ”

Raymond smiled, "Thank you." ”

Roman didn't know that the current Queen Skadi had no right to issue an amnesty at all, the power was in the hands of the 'Council of Elders', and if the four old guys didn't nod, the pardon would never be issued.

In fact, Archduke Cayde had also approached the Council of Elders to raise the matter, but the Council of Elders had no intention of giving Raymont a pardon.

Their reasoning was that if Raymond was pardoned by a special amnesty, it would cause dissatisfaction among the Delos Empire, and now that it was a period of friendly relations between the two countries, there was no need to affect the diplomacy of the two countries because of this matter.

Raymond knew very well that Duke Fernan's request would probably have no effect.

In the past, Grand Duke Cayde's requests were rejected, and now, it should be even worse, the reason is very simple, Count Donald of the Delos Empire has just died at his own hands, such a sensitive event, how can the Council of Elders, which has always regarded the Delos Empire as a friendly relationship, go against the wind?

Even Raymond thought that if the Delos Empire proposed someone at this time, the Council of Elders would immediately hand him over.

On the first day Raymond had a new home, he invited Devin over, and the previous residence was touched, and the servants who could be dismissed were dismissed, and those who were willing to stay stayed, from now on, Devin would have a real subordinate, not an illusion created by money.

"Raymond, you are now an elite cadet, as long as you can keep this title and graduate, you will have the opportunity to be received by the queen, and at that time, you can put forward your wish to the queen and become a nobleman again, I don't care, you don't have to think about me, as long as you can become a nobleman. ”

"Uncle, don't worry, it won't be long before the Angus family will resound all over the world!"

Raymond doesn't like to speak, but today, he made a promise to Devon!

As night fell, Raymond disguised himself and walked down the dimly lit sewers.

The dark exchange is still bustling with all kinds of transactions.

Raymond didn't stay on the Exchange for long, and walked into the secret room of the Dark Council.

Today is the day to gather and report results.

Today, however, the leader of the organization is not the godfather he knows, but a newcomer.

A rookie leader that is unfamiliar to all 'sunspots'.

"I am a high-ranking official of the Dark Council, codenamed Mistral, and from today, I will replace the Godfather as your leader. ”

Standing in front of many sunspots was a slender person, although she covered her face, but from her voice and body, she could still guess that she was a woman.

Northwest wind?

Raymond was slightly stunned, this name, he had some impressions.

"Lord Northwest Wind, where's the Godfather?"

Among all the sunspots, the twenty-nine, who had the best performance, raised his doubts.

"Yes, what about the godfather? We've always been in charge of the godfather, so we've changed it. ”

"It's a bit sudden. ”

"Did something happen to the godfather?"

Northwest Wind's hand raised slightly, and after everyone was quiet, he said slowly: "The godfather has encountered some trouble recently, and he can no longer be in charge of Huttonmar's work, but you don't have to worry, in the future, the handover of performance will still be done according to the rules of the godfather, and this will not change anything." ”

"Now we are starting to report our results. The cat-faced masked man shouted.
