"Sir, are you willing to keep our flag?" Sylvia was stunned, and he doubted his ears.

"Of course, this is your symbol. I will naturally not take it away. At the same time, I appoint you to still command this army. You will be the commander of the Haig Corps and will be under the jurisdiction of my military chief Kevin." Karl said seriously.

said.

Sylvia was completely stunned. According to his thoughts, he thought that their army would be disrupted and he would be deprived of his rights, but he never expected that it would end like this.

"What I hope to get is a powerful Haig regiment, not fifty uncooperative soldiers. And when I return to Silder Manor, I will expand your size to a hundred people. You are still too young now."

Weak." Karl seemed to see through the other person's thoughts and said loudly.

It is a good saying to use people with suspicion and do not use them with suspicion. Of course, Karl was not unprepared. He had already received the report about Sylvia before this.

"Thank you, my lord, I will lead the Hagrid Corps to become the sharpest blade in your hand and protect your territory." Sylvia was very excited.

Karl nodded. According to his plan, he will have two armies in his hands, each with a strength of one hundred people. At least for now, this is the most he can do. If there are more, he will not be able to maintain it, or even if he can

Maintaining two hundred people is still unknown.

"Let's go, let's set off for Silder Manor." After settling the matter with the mercenaries, Karl waved his hand and led everyone on the road. With the addition of Hagrid's regiment, his momentum suddenly increased.

.

…

"Lady Juliana, a large number of troops have come outside the manor, and they are fully armed!"

In the castle of Seld Manor, a sentry ran in with a panic expression and reported to a woman.

"What? A large number of troops!" Juliana's face changed drastically. The castle in the manor was not the kind of castle where the count lived. The castle in the manor was said to be a castle, but it was actually more of a big house. There were no moats, ravines, and anything else. There were no defenses.

Their capabilities are limited, and if they really encounter a large army, it will easily cause serious trouble.

"No, I will never allow Seld Manor to be damaged!" Juliana secretly said, she is the housekeeper here, it can be said that this place has been regarded as her home, she takes care of everything here carefully, naturally not

Destruction is allowed.

"Any more news?" Juliana asked.

"They carry a flag," added the sentinel.

"Flag? Is it a noble? What kind of flag is it? Have you seen it clearly?" Juliana was stunned and asked quickly. If it was a noble, then it would be easier to tell.

"It looks like an eagle flag with a blue background." The sentry had very good eyesight. Although he was far away, he could still see clearly.

"Eagle flag with blue background..." Juliana closed her eyes and searched for this flag in her mind, but it was a pity that at least there was no such flag among the nobility of the principality that she remembered...

"That's not right!" Juliana raised her head suddenly, walked to the side of the document, and picked up a letter. This letter was from the earl, and it was clearly written here that the manor and its affiliated villages had been rewarded.

A new nobleman was given - Carl Dias, and the family crest of this nobleman... is the eagle on a blue background!

"Huh..." Juliana let out a long breath. If she guessed correctly, it should be the newly canonized noble who came to accept the territory.

"I just hope it won't be a nobleman who exploits this manor..." Juliana prayed in her heart.

…

"Sir Sir, this manor is really great!" Berg beside him couldn't help but said. Along the way, they passed fields, farmhouses, pastures and woodlands, busy farmers and the huge area.

You can see the wealth here.

"Haha, you can take care of the finances here in the future, but you will be busy." Karl was also very happy. After all, what noble would not like seeing his territory prosperous?

It didn't take long for them to see the small castle standing in the center of the manor-Sildeburg. Although the castle was far inferior to Lensburg and Lorraine Castle, it was enough to make Karl feel excited.

The heavy wooden door made of oak is tied with iron bars, which is enough to show its sturdiness. The towers on both sides also provide a certain degree of defense for the castle. The stone walls deter enemies who try to harm the manor.

The emerald green rattan surrounds the wall, bringing with it a different kind of beauty. Sdeburg has it both in terms of defensive capabilities and beauty.

"Am I going to work here..." Allen smacked his lips. He just passed by a blacksmith shop. God, that beautiful place will belong to him.

"I'll call the door!" Kevin was also a little impatient. After all, he was just a mercenary, and now he had the opportunity to live in such a manor. How could he not be excited?

Not only him, but some people at the scene also showed admiration, such as Sylvia from the Hagrid Corps. He had never been so lucky to live in such a manor in his life.

"Dong dong dong!"

He slapped his hand on the wooden door and made a heavy sound, as if he had been waiting for him for a long time, but in an instant someone poked his head out of the small door above the door.

"Who?" the soldier asked.

"I am your new lord, Sir Carl Dias, and now I order you to open the door!" Carl shouted loudly, and with his voice, the peasants who had hid before seeing their army also poked out the door.

"New lord?"

"Do we have a new lord here?"

"It seems there is. I remember it was announced before."

"It seems, I hope this lord will not collect too much tax..."

The peasants are whispering, they are afraid that a cruel lord will come, which will be their disaster.

Of course, their voices were very low, and they were afraid that Karl would find them, so they hid in their houses again after a while.

"My lord, please show me your proof."

In the blink of an eye, someone changed at the small door. Under Karl's puzzled gaze, a woman approached the small door and handed over a basket hung by a rope.

Karl shrugged and put a parchment document on it.

The basket was collected quickly. The woman picked up the parchment document in the basket and compared it with another letter for a long time. After confirming that the seal was correct, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Rumble..."

The wooden door was opened, and what came into view was a long and narrow passage, which seemed to be welcoming the enemy. Even if the enemy was lucky enough to break through the wooden door, they would have to pass through this passage, and the archers on both sides of the passage would teach each other what awe was.

Karl couldn't help but be stunned. The person who designed this manor was definitely a talent. He knew that this manor was not built by the Earl of Lens. This manor existed long before the Earl of Lens ruled here. The territory at that time was very different from today.

Same, otherwise who would build a manor next to a foreign race...

"The soldiers are waiting outside. Kevin, Berg, and Sylvia, you come in with me first." Karl ordered. It was naturally impossible for him to let the soldiers enter Syldeburg. They naturally had barracks to live in.

After passing through the long passage, Carl and his friends finally entered Sdeburg. Juliana was already waiting for him.

"Hello, distinguished Sir, I am Juliana, the housekeeper of this manor, and this is your document." Juliana returned the document that Karl just handed over to the other party.

Karl nodded. The housekeeper named Juliana did a good job. At least he could see that the entire manor was running in an orderly manner along the way.

Julianna's voice is also very nice, at least very clear. Her black and white long dress looks very fit on her body, perfectly wrapping her graceful figure without looking obtrusive.

"It's a bit like a maid outfit..." This was Karl's first reaction. Indeed, this outfit can be considered a maid.

"Sir Sir?" Juliana asked doubtfully when she saw Karl standing there.

"Haha..." Karl scratched his head in embarrassment. He was accidentally distracted by the other person's appearance. This was really frustrating.

"Please Sir, please follow me to the second floor." Juliana led them up the winding stairs. A fairly spacious hall appeared in front of him. The closet with burning flames and warmth made Karl feel comfortable.

He hummed softly.

Karl walked to the main seat and sat down slowly, with a panoramic view of the entire hall.

"Juliana, please help me arrange for my army to settle down in the barracks." Karl ordered. His army is still out in the cold.

"I have already made arrangements. When you come in, someone will already be taking them to the barracks," Juliana said.

Karl was dumbfounded, this Juliana is quite smart.

"Speaking of which, Juliana, how many troops do I have in the manor now?" Karl asked.

This issue is what he is most concerned about. You must know that for the Seld Manor on the border, the strength of the army directly determines its survival!

"We have 30 skilled archers, 10 heavy infantry, 5 light cavalry, and 40 light infantry. If you are willing, you can mobilize the serfs and you will get more than a hundred levies.

"Julianna knows everything about her family. It's no wonder that she values ​​these troops no less than Karl. After all, they are an important basis for her to protect her homeland.

"Eighty soldiers, after mobilization plus the Haig Corps, there are almost two hundred people..." Karl nodded, this is already very good, at least much better than the previous embarrassment in Blackthorn Village.

Now his strength is not even weaker than those of weaker barons, such as Baron Sav and Baron Dias...

"Kevin, you can transfer 50 people from these 80 people to join the Haig Corps, so that they can reach a strength of 100 people. They will be our main battle corps, and the other 30 people will be directly commanded by you.

, responsible for guarding our manor." Karl ordered.

"My lord," Kevin nodded.

"By the way, I haven't introduced you yet. This is Kevin, my military director. He will be in charge of military matters from now on. And this is my financial chief, Berg. Could you please tell him the specific situation of the village in the manor?"

Tell me." Karl simply introduced a few people.

Juliana felt a little unwilling. She had managed this manor for so long, but the other party took away most of the things she had managed when he came. Moreover, compared to this, she was always a little worried when she heard that the other party had arranged an army.

.

Of course she wouldn't say it out loud, she just nodded respectfully. After all, she had no right to refuse.
