At this point, he could not understand why he had to stay here. Katerina might have bad intentions, but the gold coins given to him by Vaccilu were real. He could leave at any time three days ago, but he stayed. He didn't ask anything about Cynthia's relationship with his enemy. As for Cynthia's curiosity about Vaccilu, he simply answered with a note. He met a wealthy businessman on the way to the merchants to purchase goods. He helped him carry the goods on the suddenly broken carriage, but he didn't expect that the other party would come to him to thank him.
Lamberts had devoted nearly thirty years of his life to the gods. He once believed that serving the gods had found all the meaning of life. However, now, he suddenly realized that he could not understand what this gentle but slightly hot thing that emerged from his heart at this time was like the thick milk soup in his spoon, with a rich aroma and heat, soaking his heart and spleen.
This feeling is so different from his belief in the gods, but it is so similar. It also has the pure charm that makes him subconsciously give up all thinking, just to protect and believe in for the sake of faith.
Before the first wake-up call rang out of the barracks, Emerson had already been lying on the bed with his eyes open.
The excellent biological clock woke him up a few minutes before the horn rang, but he was lying in bed without trembling because he was afraid of waking up the others in the same barracks.
As soon as the horn sounded, he sat up almost instantly, and then he was stunned to see that Bernie, who was sleeping in his bed, had already jumped off a rat-the uniform was already neatly dressed.
"I'll go! Bernie, have you not taken off your clothes while sleeping?!" Carter, who was in bed, shouted out the doubts in his heart for Emerson.
While looking for boots on the ground, Bernie denied, "How is that possible! I just hung my uniform on the bed last night, then woke me up for more than ten minutes in advance, put on my uniform in the quilt."
"You are not afraid of wrinkles." Carter said this, but he was convinced in his heart - this kid is worthy of being more active than anyone else!
By the time Emerson and the others were dressed in uniforms and ran out of the barracks with a newly maintained black kudzu musket, Bernie had been standing on the field for almost three minutes.
"What are you busy with? Why don't you see you all so active? Just today, I'll have an egg for you! Put on your uniform! Tuck your shirt! I've fixed the marching belt and kettle for me! Check each other! I, Taode, is the first day of the Mulin Festival or a nonsense festival, I only know that today is the day of the official military parade. The queues that have been trained for so long are all for today! Don't give me a little carelessness. Look back at the critical moment and see how I deal with him when I come back!"
As soon as Emerson stood firm next to Bernie, he heard the loud voice of Captain Todd's squadron from dozens of meters away. He was the temporary captain of the mixed squadron where Emerson was located, and he was also the leader of the phalanx. It is said that he was a gangster before, but the bandit spirit in the new model army has been polished for 6 years and still has not been removed. When he trains people, he swears and swear words will come out from time to time. Except for Constitutional Li Weijun, everyone is afraid of him.
"Okay, Captain Todd." Emerson just thought of Li Wei, and the voice of the short military constituent officer had already sounded. "Today is not as good as usual. The official military parade is much longer than usual. Everyone has enough time to check the instrument problems. Just be careful not to forget to bring things. Now they are relaxed. Go back to the parade outside the city, and they will stretch for a whole day. At that time, they will be fully focused and give me 200% spirit! At the parade, they can't help but the Grand Duke and other noble masters will be present. The guys from the Nanling Legion will also come over and cheer me up. Don't lose the new model army in front of those soldiers! Do you understand?!"
"I understand!" Emerson and Bernie mixed in the square formation and shouted randomly.
However, they lowered their heads and started discussing with the people nearby: "Those people from the Nanling Legion? What Chief Li Weixian talked about were the guys from the Chengwei Army?"
"How is that possible? Have you forgotten the cracked dragon and the earth-moving dragon that you saw when you were a child? And those unicorn horse knights?" Carter was the last person among several people. He was different from Emerson and Bernie. Carter originally wanted to be a soldier, but unfortunately he didn't have much talent in swordsmanship. He was defeated in the first round of the trial training organized by the Emperor** Department. Later, he settled down and entered the new model army with low selection requirements.
Because of his preference for military reasons, Carter knew a lot about the system of the empire and the number of the legion. Faced with the curious sight of others, he said proudly: "In the past thirty years since Duke Feldnan Ian took office as Grand Duke, the peak of the imperial army stationed in Nanling was as high as 200,000. The sword and shield corps, spear corps, and archers corps, which were above average warrior level, had as many as 150,000. However, due to the peace talks with the Nanling Kingdom, the regular army of up to 150,000 was reduced year by year. In addition to a few particularly famous ones like Chi Xiao, the blade corps, the standing army was reduced year by year, and replaced by the self-raised soldiers of nobles at all levels and the new model army."
"Speaking of this, the proposal to reduce the scale of the Nanling Standing Army was originally proposed by the Nanling nobles themselves." Carter suddenly sneered when he said this, "The Hundred Years of War in Nanling made all the Nanling army in the hands of the Grand Duke, so almost whenever he had the chance, the Nanling nobles would pounce on him like evil ghosts and want to divide the power of the army."
"Don't talk about these messy things, talk about the Dragon Knight." Seeing that Carter was about to talk again, someone next to him immediately pushed him impatiently.
"Tsk, if you don't figure out these, how do you understand the origin of our new model army and the Nanling Legion?" Carter was still a little reluctant to give up. Until the others acted as a fight, he hurriedly stopped and continued to keep insincere, "Okay OK! I said that's it! You guys who are not loving!"
"In addition to the 150,000 regular legions, the Nanling Emperor** regiment has three other Imperial Knights, each Imperial Knight has 1,000 regular knights with 1,000 knights and 3,000 attendant knights. In addition to these 12,000 knights, there are 5,000 'Sabre' Light Cavalry Group, 3,000 Imperial Mage Group, and 2,000 corpses of the Magic Engineering Corps. In addition, the 6,000 heavy infantry of the Nanling Sword Soldier Corps, and the elite swordsman brigade of more than 4,000 intermediate ranks. The total number of elite corps is 32,000 - similar to the size of our new model army."
"Isn't this right?" At this moment, someone suddenly asked next to him, "There are only 32,000 people, didn't you say there are 50,000?"
"I'm not finished talking..." Carter glanced at the other party with a squint eyes. "The remaining 18,000 people, in addition to the supplies and civil logistics personnel of some elite troops, there are 3,000 Bauhinia, 1,000 White Crow, and 1,000 Black Rose, and the 3,200 Nanling Dagong directly belonged to the near-selected troops. In addition, half of the White Rose's Chengwei Army, which is 3,000 people, and the remaining 10,000 are all Nanling noble private troops like the Bauhinia White Crow-"
"There are nearly 300 nobles of Nanling, and the families of each family went to make military achievements. The children of the nobles who earned their qualifications, and their attendants, knights and guards, were almost so many."
