The Consulate of the River Valley.

"Your Highness. Caldera fell to one knee and hung his head deeply.

"I'm not Your Highness here, and you're not an Earl," Onisha said with a kiss on his hand, "but until then, I have to thank you, Count Calderra, for keeping your old vows." ”

"After receiving the letter from Your Highness, I came with my men overnight," Caldera said in a deep voice, "but fortunately, with the proof of the valley you provided, we did not receive much reproach along the way. ”

"How many troops do you have?" asked Ornessa, helping him up, whispering.

"Seven thousand five hundred and thirty-two, and at the request of His Highness, the six hundred I have brought with me, all of them are skilled in martial arts, and absolutely sure of their loyalty," Caldera reported, "and the remaining brethren remain in the mountains, waiting for your dispatch at any time. ”

"Thank you for your hard work...... Onesha showed a touched look, and she did have a reason to be moved. Not everyone has the courage to make enemies of the most powerful empire on the continent for the sake of the old lord whose life and death are uncertain.

"What should I do next, please tell Your Highness. Caldera stood tall and clutched the sword at his waist that belonged to the commander of the southern defense line of the Duchy of Anlan.

"I'll put you in the valley, the camp of the mercenary group," Onisha regained her composure and said, "Most of the mercenaries have gone to the front with Allegri, so there are a lot of rooms vacated. ”

"Yes. Caldera nodded, not asking more.

"As for what to do in the future, I don't have a clue for the time being," Onissa said firmly, "but I believe that the opportunity will come soon...... Your most important task now is to get some rest. If you have any requirements for weapons and armor, just come to me. ”

"Yes, Your Highness," Caldera assured, "a month at most." The brethren will be able to fully recover their state, not to mention one against ten, but at least two or three thousand, and they will not be left behind. ”

"The rest of the Fire Knights will report to you later," Onessa added, "In that case, at least inside the valley, in our hands." There is an armed force that can decide the situation. ”

"His Highness is the consul of the river valley, and the others should not say much," Caldera asked a practical question. "But...... When Count Allegri returns, won't he be afraid?"

"It's okay, I have a way to deal with him," Onisha waved her hand and diverted the subject, "from now on." You are the commander of all my armies. ”

"I will live up to the trust of His Highness. Caldera kowtowed to his chest and gave a knightly salute.

To his lord. and the princess of the past.

"Look, look, how did I draw?" Allegri asked in an ostentatious manner, raising the white paper in his hand in the bumpy carriage.

"What are you drawing...... A melon?" Dios speculated after a moment's pause.

It is indeed a melon on paper. However, the melon is also densely covered with several horizontal and vertical grids. And the place that was supposed to be a melon vine was replaced by a hanging ring.

"No, I think it's more like sweet potatoes. Hoel disagreed, as it was a common crop of the dwarven tribe. It can be used as a substitute for wheat, making zuò bread and other staple foods.

Allegri shook his head again and again, vetoed the answers of the two of them, and then introduced triumphantly, "This is called a grenade, and one day in the future, it is likely to be famous and shock the mainland." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be a famous melon. Dios nodded, in understanding.

"At the same time, it's a military badge," Allegri said, leaning his head out of the car window, completely ignoring his ridicule, "Sheryl—"

Soon, the young clerk got into the carriage and asked respectfully, "Master, what do you command?"

"How many of the three hundred mercenaries with magical potential I selected have developed magical powers?" Allegri asked.

"Seventy-two," Cheryl replied immediately, clearly prepared, "but the vast majority of them could not be promoted to full-fledged magicians. ”

"That's enough," Allegri said solemnly, patting him on the shoulder, "these seventy-two people will form my second direct force...... Now, Sherrel, I officially appoint you as the commander of this force. ”

"Huh?" Cheryl blinked blankly, then turned to look at Dios and Hoel, trying to make sure if it was a joke. But the faces of both of them were the same confusion.

"What troops?" asked Dios for him.

"Well, let me think about it......," Allegri muttered in deep thought, "a formidable name must be thought of to match this grenade insignia." ”

After a long time, he raised his head and decided, "Sheryl, I officially appoint you as the first commander of the 'Vulcan's Fury'. ”

"Yes, Master. Sheryl nodded understandingly. In any case, there is no harm in inheriting it first.

"This is the military emblem," Allegri ordered, handing the paper in his hand, "and the flag is also made according to this pattern, with a fiery red background and black thread embroidery." ”

"This color scheme doesn't seem obvious, does it?" Haul chimed in.

"It's okay, I'm just going to be red and black. Allegri's answer highlights a willfulness. After thinking about it, he asked again, "Sheryl, do you have any other questions?"

"This ...... Master," Cheryl asked, a little shyly, "I wonder what my salary is as a Commander?"

Green River Valley.

The spring breeze is proud, and Andre's current mood is such a feeling.

Hugging from front to back, returning to his hometown in fine clothes, holding the big seal of the Southern War Command Division, he can walk sideways in Anfen City.

Thinking of the years of ejaculation in this place, Andre was emotional and happy.

"My lord, the king's newly issued edict orders our company to issue and execute it as much as possible. "An official from the War Command Department rushed over.

"Let's go, go back to the official office," Andre asked, turning his horse's head, "what?"

"In order to replenish the blood of the Southern Expeditionary Army and establish a bureaucratic system in the occupied areas, the empire plans to establish a military academy and a civil and political academy......" the official read according to the script.

"That's really what those nobles want," said Andre after a moment's thought, and then smiled, "but what does that have to do with us?"

"The edict says that given the distance between north and south, it is not appropriate for these two academies to be located in the empire itself," replied the official, "so the king means that the Southern War Command Division should be responsible for the construction of this matter, and that it is best to locate the Green River Valley, or the Herseus Valley." ”
