The Barony of Haaland now has two squadrons of soldiers.

The two squadrons are standing armies and require training for twelve months a year.

The first six months were spent on recruit training, mainly familiarizing themselves with military regulations and conducting cohort training.

This cohort training was different from Richard's military training in his previous life, and combined with the actual combat situation in the Dawn Continent.

The main training detachment and team drawing tactics are also fully armed and armored for each training.

The physical exertion is very high, and the queue training is usually done only every other day.

In addition, the main task of recruit training is to teach soldiers to know flags, flag language, and be familiar with horns. Teach them to know the written word and become familiar with the practice of breathing.

Of course, in the beginning, Richard focused on health regulations.

In order to make the soldiers have qualified hygiene habits, Richard personally inspected and used leather whips to make the lazy slaves remember the hygiene rules and not defecate in the open, which made the barracks smelly.

After a period of continuous spot checks and punishments, the soldiers remembered the fear of the whip and slowly developed good hygiene habits. Hygiene habits have improved, military appearance, military discipline, and spirit have obviously risen.

There were slave traders who acted as transport captains, and the two squadrons were well equipped.

Although it is far from being comparable to the main army, it is already relatively sophisticated among the noble private army.

The Barony of Stopa has been in operation for decades, and the number of the family's private army is only two squadrons, and the combat effectiveness is also very average, no different from the soldiers of the Harland family.

In the past year, although Richard has been busy every day, he still has not relaxed the cultivation of breathing and meditation.

Over the course of a year, the experience of breathing has increased by about 10,000 points, and the experience of meditation has increased by about 2,800 points.

Although Richard meditates hard every day, his elemental intimacy is average, and the effect of meditation is not very good.

Without the addition of killing experience, it would take three years for Richard to be promoted to the second ring magician.

Archery skills have increased by 2000 experience, and last year, Richard trained archery every three days, and the time invested was not enough, and the experience increased less.

For a whole year, the Northern Legion's fighting skills basically did not improve much.

It took half a month for Richard to conduct a martial arts training. This skill adds a little experience, and Richard is already content.

In the study of spells, Richard had a good talent and learned three rings of magic.

Younger sister Wendy has a good talent for magic, has become a high-level magic apprentice, and has also learned energy rays to heal minor injuries and two zero ring magic.

According to Richard's estimates, her mental power is close to eight points, and she is not far from becoming a first-ring magician.

It is estimated that it will break through in this month or two.

Wendy spends less time in magic than Richard.

For the past year, she has been in the library of her home in Heihebao almost every day.

With Baron Stoppa's collection of books to read, Wendy is already immersed in a sea of knowledge.

In the field of magic, she is more gifted than Richard.

After the spring ploughing, Richard gave the slaves a day of rest.

He was just about to go to Fort William to find his second uncle Powell, when he saw a beautiful girl who came to the brick kiln village with a dozen cavalrymen and blocked Richard at the door.

For the past year, Powell has lived mainly in Fort William, returning to Fort Blackriver once a month to be with his wife and children for six days.

Now the Haaland Collar has just been developed, the conditions are harsh, and the daughters of the family all live in Heihe Fort.

It was not until the castle was completed and the interior was renovated that the ladies moved to Fort William. However, William still served in the Northern Legion, and it is estimated that Lady Aura will not leave her husband and settle in a desolate castle.

According to Richard's observations, Lady Ola has held dozens of banquets in the past year, and seems to be indulging in aristocratic banquet activities.

The Haaland family's territory was still in the stage of land reclamation, and almost no outsiders came in for a whole year.

Only when the territory develops and becomes large, will there be caravans entering.

Seeing that the girl was dressed as a nobleman, Richard was suddenly a little curious.

Finding that Richard's eyes were full of scrutiny, the girl said generously: "I am Baron Sophia of Vicburg. ”

As soon as he heard this name, even if Richard City Mansion was deeper, he couldn't help but change his face.

After receiving the spellbook from Vicburg, Richard was very concerned about the situation of the bitter master.

In the past year, William sent some people to quietly inquire about the situation of the Stopa family.

The changes in the Barony of Stoppa, Richard was naturally very clear.

Two years ago, the orc invasion brought serious disasters to the Stopa family.

Not only was the baron killed in battle, but his wife, court maids, three sons, and one daughter all died at the hands of the orcs.

After the fall of Vikburg, there were only six heirs to the Stopa family.

Sofia Stopa was third.

In the order of succession ahead of her are the second and third sons of Baron Stoppa.

He is also the elder brother of Baron Sophia.

Both of the baron's sons developed in the hinterland of the Kingdom of Grant, one as a judge in the suburbs of Nolan and the other as an auditor in a southern county.

The two of them worked very decently, and they also received a lot of gold coins from Baron Stoppa.

Baron Stoppa's son grew up in northern Xinjiang, experienced many wars, and was very satisfied with the peaceful and prosperous life in the south.

Sophia's two older brothers are generally talented, and their personalities are not very brave.

Not only did he fail to awaken the knight's bloodline, but he barely relied on the power of the potion to become a professional, and his level was only one order. In the follow-up training of professionals, neither of them can endure this hardship.

Baron Sophia's two elder brothers certainly wanted to become hereditary barons, but they were very afraid of the risks.

See the brave and powerful father Stopa Ram, who was attacked by the orcs and destroyed all the gates.

The two knew in their hearts that they would not be able to hold the territory at all by their own strength, and they would deal with the endless troubles that arose at the border.

They don't have much ambition and are smarter. They are all over 30 years old, and they have a clear understanding of their abilities.

Besides, Barony Stopa is still a mess, and the situation is better than Barony Harrant.

The lords in the realm were annexed by Baron Harden, who was a powerful silver knight, and whoever inherited the territory would have a hard time getting the lords back from Baron Harden.

Recruiting lords, buying slaves, running a territory, and building an army all cost money, and it's a lot of money.

At least tens of thousands of gold coins must be invested for Barony Stopa to recover.

Although Sophia's two elder brothers have a lot of money, some of them also have a small amount of money, and they have saved up to one or two thousand gold coins, which is of course a huge amount of money for ordinary people.

It would take hundreds of years of work to save this money.

But for a barony, this money is insignificant, and a strong slave of one or two hundred will cost more than 2,000 gold coins.

After careful consideration, the two were reluctant to inherit the territory and gave up their inheritance rights.

But no one inherited the territory, and the two were unwilling.

In addition to his three adult children, Baron Stopa had a fifth son who survived, but this child was not yet a professional and had no inheritance rights.

In addition, there are three family members who have the right to inherit, namely two younger brothers and one uncle of the baron.

These three people are not as financially powerful as the two sons of the baron, although their professional level is higher, and their abilities are also very average, they cannot afford to defend the territory at all.

Barely inherited the territory, after two or three years of baron's addiction.

The next time the orcs come, Vicburg will still be lost, and it will only be his own family who will be harmed.

If all the family members renounced their inheritance, the Stopa family would lose their nobility.

According to the laws of the Kingdom of Grant, one cannot be appointed to important positions such as judges and auditors without the status of nobility.

After several generations of hard work, the Stopa family finally climbed up and became a noble hereditary nobleman.

When this generation is removed, the efforts of several generations will be ruined.

In desperation, the members of Baron Stuppa's family can only pin their hopes on Sophia Stoppa, the most talented.

Although the baron's jewel was reluctant to inherit the title, he went to the kingdom of Makholm five years ago to pursue the truth of magic.

In order to get his sister back to inherit the family domain, Baron Stoppa's two sons went to the kingdom of Makholm together, and saw his sister pleading bitterly.

Even threatened to commit suicide, so that Sophia came back and inherited the title.
