On the day that Andrew's wife and children arrived, the meeting officially began. This was the moment that everyone had been waiting for. They were going to divide Hungary's interests at the meeting.
This must be an extremely heated meeting. After all, all parties involved in the meeting have more or less conflicts of interest, not to mention the hatred between Andrew's wife and children and Bella, if it weren't for Anastasia's brother and the empire.
Due to the existence of power, Bella would definitely kill his sister-in-law and nephew.
For Rostislav, the most fortunate thing for him was that he did not have to attend this meeting. Although it was somewhat unethical, no one could say anything if he did so.
His three uncles went to attend the meeting, and they also had tasks for him.
That is to reorganize the army.
The atmosphere of negotiation will become more and more intense, so the army must be prepared for war. This does not necessarily mean fighting, but a show of force.
This is also part of the bargaining chip, and in case of emergency, these soldiers must take action immediately.
Rostislav was so happy that he went directly to the military camp outside the city.
The Ross camp was together with the Solomon supporters and the Imperial Army. After all, the three of them were on the same front, and forming adjacent camps could provide help in case of any emergency.
The Prince of Moscow stepped into their camp. Fortunately, he did not see any smoky scene. He still remembered that when they first arrived in Hungary, these soldiers were really dissolute to the extreme. The camp was full of alcohol, and there were
There were prostitutes and the like running around.
After all, the princes were enjoying themselves in the city during that time, so they couldn't be allowed to enjoy themselves outside.
Fortunately, as the meeting began, everyone knew to be serious, so there were no bottles of wine or prostitutes running around in the camp, and the camp became clean and tidy again.
After all, the people here are all Ross elites, and their combat effectiveness is basically equal to their self-control. If they can't control themselves, how can they be worthy of the money they get.
Rostislav simply summoned the captains of the three uncles' soldiers, explained to them the instructions from their master, and then let them do what they wanted.
There is no need for Rostislav to execute the details personally, he can just supervise, and rashly interfering with his uncles' personal troops can easily cause trouble.
As for his personal entourage, Vasily managed these people very well and he didn't need to worry about anything.
After settling the matter in the camp, Rostislav went to the nearby camp to find someone, Edward Wessex.
When the Prince of Moscow walked into the Magyar camp, the first thing he saw was a scene of training. Edward was accompanied by several Magyar knights and watched dozens of spearmen stabbing each other in the field. He also said to the knights
We gave them guidance, asking them to write down the deficiencies they found and how to deal with the spears with thorns.
One of the Magyar knights was the one Rostislav had seen at the city gate ceremony. This man stood far away from Edward, but his expression was very gloomy.
It's normal to think about it. How can you still be in a good mood after going through something like that?
Seeing that Edward was still busy training, Rostislav did not bother him, but chatted with a soldier standing by the tent. The man wore a pointed hat, which showed his identity as a soldier of the Moscow Battalion.
And when the prince came, the soldier was not frightened, so he started talking nonsense with the prince of Moscow.
The soldier said his name was Dill and he was carrying a long bow. The calluses on his hands showed that he was an archer and that he had been in the Moscow camp for several years.
Rostislav thought he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he started chatting with the man to see if he could remember him.
Since he was carrying a long bow, Rostislav chatted with him about bows and arrows, and this man seemed to know everything about this topic and was obviously a powerful archer.
As the chat progressed, Rostislav finally remembered that the man in front of him had once been a member of his personal army, and he admitted his identity.
As for the resignation of soldiers, this is normal in Ross. Ross allows soldiers to change jobs with nobles. This has been a long-standing tradition.
The reason why he quit the Janissaries was mainly because he believed that the Moscow Battalion had a better future than the Janissaries.
It's a pity that he stayed in the Moscow Battalion for five years and is still a small captain of ten, but this does not affect him from honing his combat skills so that one day he can establish his merits on the battlefield.
During the war in Hungary, his tempering came into play, making him the core of the battle. He led his men to fight many difficult battles.
"How can a loyal and brave man like you be an ordinary captain of ten?"
Rostislav put his hand on Dill's shoulder and lamented why he had not discovered this talent before.
"I will promote you to centurion now, Vasily, and record this matter."
Vasily immediately took note of the prince's instructions. Originally Rostislav did not want to bring him here, but he insisted on coming, so the prince had no choice but to follow him.
This made Dill overjoyed. He originally joined the Moscow Battalion because he felt that there were no prospects for promotion in the Guardsmen, but he was still a junior officer here for several years.
Originally, he planned to leave the army when he returned to his hometown after the war in Hungary. Of course, he would definitely not go back to the village. He preferred to bleed on the edge of the knife than to live as a hunter in the village. Moreover, he would still be treated as such when he returned to the village.
Canbi's father, who was a soldier, laughed at him.
Dill planned to become a mercenary or adventurer, and then go to the magnificent imperial capital that his father talked about.
He has superb archery skills and is always well fed no matter where he goes.
Maybe when he gets there, he can join the famous Varangian Guard and go paint graffiti on the walls of the Grand Palace - just like his father boasted.
As a result, Rostislav now promoted him, and as soon as he was promoted, he was promoted to centurion, which immediately gave up his idea of leaving his job. You must know that there were only five centurions in the entire Moscow battalion.
Although the Moscow Battalion is currently very small, Dill's intuition told him that this unit must have a bright future, so he quit the Guards and joined it that year.
"Rostislav, why didn't you tell me that you were coming? Oh, Dill is here too."
Just when the Prince of Moscow was chatting happily with the centurion he had just promoted, Edward's voice interrupted, with an apology on his face, and behind him there were several Magyar knights who were bowing slightly to them.
Edward also said hello to Dill, who was one of his strong men.
Dill bowed wisely and then withdrew from their sight. Lord Edward knew at a glance that he was here to discuss matters with Lord Rostislav, so it was better for him to stay away.
"This person is very good. He has good archery skills, is brave in combat, is good at organizing people and boosting morale, and he also knows how to read the atmosphere."
Edward watched Dill leave with admiration in his mouth. Of course the prince of Moscow understood his subtext and wanted him to promote this archer.
"Dil has become a centurion just now. I will give him a more important position when he returns to Northeastern Ross."
Rostislav said with a smile, he had already arranged the future for Dill in his heart just now.
Since he has outstanding abilities, he will not stay in the Moscow Battalion for long. Soon he will lead a brand new team - Rostislav is planning to form a second standing battalion when he returns.
"Really? Let's get down to business, Rostislav. What do you want to do with me?"
Edward also smiled and then changed the topic to the main topic.
But at this moment, there was no smile on the face of the Prince of Moscow. He became serious and stated his purpose.
"Edward, I want you to tell me about the situation of the Hungarian pagans, especially their power."
"Pagan? What?"
Seeing Rostislav's serious expression, Edward's expression also became serious.
"I understand, then let Zergi tell you. He knows more about this than me."
As Edward spoke, he gestured to the knight following him to come forward. The Prince of Moscow was the Magyar knight standing next to Edward.
After getting closer and taking a closer look, Rostislav noticed that his face was somewhat similar to Solomon's, just like Solomon when he grew up.
