Dipu puts the events of the cold night last, because he has a new vision of the private army in his territory. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Through a series of recent events, Dip has discovered that the Knights of the Holy Spring are not very reliable, and it is very likely that they will obey the orders of the Holy See at a critical time, and may even be transferred by the Holy See. As a result, there is a big gap in the defense of the Blackeye Collar.

And now the war between man and demon is also in full swing, looking at this situation, the scale of the war in the future will also get bigger and bigger. And Dip, as the deputy minister of the imperial military department and the son-in-law of Philip II, is likely to lead troops to the battlefield. If you don't have your own direct troops, you're always not at ease. If you take another 10,000 steps back, even if Dipu has been idle at home, the Tro Kingdom will always have to draw the private army of each lord's territory, right? Therefore, the Black-Eyed Leader must build a standing army to go out on the expedition.

In this way, the number of troops to be conscripted could not be too small, and it was tentatively set at 50,000 men. And what is the name of this unit? Let's call it the direct guard! Everything has to be kept a low profile.

As for the Black-Eyed Lord's permanent defense force, Dipu is going to expand to 100,000, including two parts, one is the 20,000-strong coalition with Grenville City and the Redwood Lord, this force will be mobile in the three cities, and it will be stationed in the Black-Eyed Territory in peacetime, and the other part is the 80,000 troops composed of the Black-Eyed Collar alone, and this force will be permanently stationed in the Black-Eyed Territory.

In addition, it is armed on the periphery. Like the Knights of the Holy Spring, the private armies of the vassal lords, etc. And now, we have to add the Cold Night Mercenary Group. As for the military system, the black-eyed collar basically implements rotational service, and the core officers will have a professional system. The specifics will not be introduced, but it will be implemented immediately. Among them, the Cold Night Mercenary Group has become a very important part.

Dipu is going to arrange as follows: part of Cold Night will be stationed on the island in the middle of the lake in the Forbidden Demon God Ruins, part of it will enter the treacherous area of Sunset Plains for adventure development and escort caravans, and part will join his own direct guard, and part will serve as the defense force of the Black Eye Collar. In this way, the requirements for the Cold Night Mercenary Group are very high, at least the more than 7,000 troops of Cold Night are not enough now. So be sure to negotiate carefully and finalize every detail. Of course, Dipu's conditions have been greatly improved, and it is possible that Leng Ye will not agree. In this regard, Dipu is also prepared with two hands, maybe recruiting one or two more affiliated mercenary groups, or simply replacing them all.

Dipp was ready for arduous negotiations, and even formed a negotiating team, repeatedly discussing the details with Viscount Gumbit, the Earl of Edinburgh, and Lisa, among others. Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the negotiations, it went quite smoothly.

The first is the time limit. Dipu does not prepare for short-term cooperation, so the time limit required is very long, and it is ready to sign for 20 years as soon as it is signed. As soon as Deputy Head Davis heard this, he agreed without hesitation. Then came the task requirements for the cold night, and Deputy Commander Davis still agreed. In this regard, Dipu was a little strange, and he asked curiously: Where did the manpower come from? and Davis's answer was quite easy: Recruitment! There are not many things in the Tro Kingdom, but there are many scattered mercenaries who want to make money. As long as you have money, there is no problem in recruiting 20,000 or 30,000 mercenaries.

In the end, some details were finalized, although there was a bargaining process, but everything went smoothly, it only took half a day for the two sides to sign an agreement, and the Cold Night Mercenary Group officially became a subsidiary mercenary group of the Black Eye Collar.

......

These trivial matters were dealt with in turn, and all that was left was the Count Sicma. He's been in the dark eye for nearly two months, but there's still been no progress. During this time, the Magical Correspondence had been successfully set up, and Count Sicoma had been in contact with the Empire several times. In the end, even the teleportation array was successfully completed, and Dipu still refused to negotiate. In the end, even Dipu was a little puzzled, why did this wife-afraid Earl have such a dead face? Do you want to celebrate the New Year in your own black eyes? At a strange time, Dipu finally waited for the follow-up measures of the empire.

This time, the Empire sent a follow-up negotiating team. However, there were only two members of the negotiation team, one was the Imperial Vice-Minister of Protocol and Foreign Affairs Nomanda, and the other was the Director of the Imperial Treasury, Rufel, and they were the first guests to come to the Blackeye Collar through the teleportation array.

At first, Dip's attention was all focused on the Normanda vice-minister, because it was strange that he was an elf.

"Oh, Lord Dipper!I heard that you have a beautiful elf lady, and you must not be so curious about an old male elf, right?" Normanda must have been used to such a gaze, so as soon as she spoke, she laughed and joked.

"Hehe, rude and rude. Dipu hurriedly smiled and apologized, "I have heard the prestige of Lord Normanda for a long time, and I am knowledgeable and handsome, how can I say that I am old?"

"Over-reputation. Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Ruffer. ”

After some introduction, Dipp learned that this Mr. Rufeld was actually the one who seduced his mother back then...... Old white face. Dipp stared at Rufel's face for a while, and said that he had no opinion of Rufel, and that was impossible, but after so many years, what was the strong hatred?

Dipu was a little puzzled: "The empire just wants to build relationships and friendships, and there is no need to send this person to disgust himself?"

And Rufeel was a little embarrassed, he hurriedly said: "I came here in a hurry this time, but I also brought gifts from your mother and sister." Not a tribute, a heart. ”

"Hmm...... Thank you!" On such an occasion, Dipu did not know how to get along with Rufel, so he could only reply very politely and distantly.

Perhaps seeing the awkwardness of the atmosphere, Normanda immediately got down to business: "Can I call you Dip?"

"It's an honor. Master Normanda!"

"Call me Normanda, let's not be so formal, we're all a family, and we can discuss any difficulties. ”

"Please. Dipu smiled and thought to himself, "Who are you members of the family?"

Normanda got straight to the point: "Now that the army of the demons has appeared in the Red Lion Duchy and Dawn City, the pressure on the empire is very high, and all parties need to work together, especially financially, and they need a lot of support like yours." ”

Dipu didn't want to hide it, so he simply opened up and said, "Don't hide it from you, I've supported it enough." Not to mention anything else, just in terms of money, it is now owed more than two billion, which can be regarded as a contribution to the empire. If I am able, then I will definitely continue to support it. But now I really have no heart, I really don't have money, I don't even have hundreds of millions, where is the 2.5 billion to buy those properties?" )
