Obviously, Luke was not talking about the bandit army.
Now that troubled times have begun, Bandez is on the edge of the storm again, and he will be involved if he is not careful. If the bandit army only relies on the current strength, it will be difficult to survive in the cracks. Therefore, Lulian, who is located in the rear,
It is very necessary to recruit people and form an army.
And this army, together with Bandez, will form a more powerful bandit army.
However, Roy frowned and said: "I am not qualified to recruit troops. Besides, it is not appropriate to recruit people in Lulian now."
Recruiting an army is the power that noble lords have in their own territories. Although Roy now has the identity of the heir of the Ferdinand family, this is just a cover for his identity.
Since the Roman Dynasty, the Ferdinand family has disappeared. It is neither a vassal of the royal family of the Solan Empire nor has its own territory. Even the family coat of arms has not been registered with the Royal Heraldry Institute. Therefore, in essence, he is just a
Civilians do not have the right to recruit troops.
On the other hand, the reason why Roy was able to raise the bandit army was because most of the members of the bandit army were useless people from the Rongyang camp who had lost their fighting spirit. They came from all over the empire and did not belong to Lulian. They followed Roy
, purely because of trust, kindness and like-mindedness.
But it is not that easy to put out a list and recruit people.
When a knight joins the army, the reward is one thing, and the future is the most important. If he cannot accumulate military merit, if he cannot rely on the lance and sword in his hand to gain fame, win a fief territory, and win a share of the glory and wealth of his descendants,
Who is willing to sacrifice his life for a common man?
More importantly, this is the territory of Adolf and his lords.
Recruiting troops here is no different from putting your hand into someone else's pocket and taking out money. Such a thing is very taboo. Especially now that Lulian has just experienced the demon war and suffered heavy losses, he is so
It doesn't seem appropriate to do it.
"My young master..." Knowing Roy's scruples, Luke laughed, shook his head and said: "If it were someone else who did this, I believe Archbishop Adolf would eat him alive without hesitation. However, if
If it's you...go talk to Archduke Adolf and you will get the answer!"
#####
After leaving the room, Roy transformed into Leo, and while thinking about Luke's words, he walked across the covered bridge and walked onto the wall of the Archduke's Castle.
Seeing this young mercenary, the patrol knights and guards all saluted respectfully and said hello.
Everyone has heard about the battle that took place on the front line, so they understand better than anyone else that all the cheers and excitement in Munich today are because of this black-haired young man with a kind face. If it weren't for him, even His Highness the Grand Duke
I'm afraid it will be more bad than good.
Wandering to the south wall of the Grand Duke's Castle, Roy lay on the pheasant saucer and looked down at the city streets below.
The streets were crowded with people.
People celebrating gathered in groups, singing and dancing.
The Gisele circus was performing in public, and the tavern owner and his clerks were laughing and moving all the wine in stock to the street. The men were arming arms and drinking happily. The women were in groups, chattering away.
. Even if he scolds the child who is like a mud monkey from time to time, there is always a smile on his face.
The carriages in which the nobles and gentlemen were rushing to the banquet moved slowly among the crowded crowd. However, both the owners in the carriages and the coachman on the driver's seat were all smiling and approachable, and did not look anxious at all.
They knew that the host who had deliberately held a banquet because of this victory would not care if the guests were late because of the parade. And they had already thought about it. When they got there, they would brag to everyone about the grand occasion on the street. This was
A good topic to stir up the atmosphere.
But now, Adolf's army has not entered the city yet.
No one knows what kind of lively scene it will be when the heroes walk into the city gate. Anyway, everyone is almost crazy with joy at this moment.
Roy watched quietly, with a smile on his lips.
He grew up in the deep mountains and wild forests, and did not come to the human world until he was ten years old. From his core, Roy is not a person who is good at dealing with people. He is used to being alone rather than social, and he is used to running in the wind and snow.
Excessive habit of walking on crowded streets.
However, from the bottom of his heart, he likes this kind of world and this kind of life.
He likes to see the smile on everyone's face. He likes to infer their happiness from these smiles. Whether it is the children chasing each other on the roadside, or the fat aunt with a red face who is shouting, or the white-haired old man with a cane at the intersection.
, or a burly and sturdy mercenary...
Each of them has a different life. In normal times, they may be happy for a sum of income, or they may be worried about the embarrassment of food and clothing. But now, they are all smiling.
For a common reason.
This made Roy feel joy and pride from the bottom of his heart. For a moment, he felt that all the hardships he had experienced and all the efforts he had put in were worth it.
And Luke's words also took root in his heart.
Since I am living in this troubled world where no one can survive alone, since fate has put me on this path and shouldering this responsibility, there is no possibility for me to look back.
All I can do is to work hard and overcome obstacles.
However, my own power is limited after all. If I want to protect the people I want to protect in troubled times, if I want to drive the demons out of the Broken Sky Mountains, if I want to challenge the Holy See and those enemies hiding in the dark, I must constantly
Strengthen. The weak eat the strong and respect the strong. This is the law of this world!
Yes, you should build a powerful army. A force that can realize your own will in this world!
And this is not out of reach for me.
The two tribes of dwarves and elves have migrated to the city of Munich. In their hands, they have the Star King, three bone dragons and a small demon army headed by Banksar. Coupled with the resources in the desperate situation,
The ransom paid by Scarlett and others, as well as the magical costume made by herself...
Roy's eyes narrowed slightly. He was calculating the resources in his hands when, unknowingly, a slim figure had walked behind him.
“Very lively.”
Roy turned his head and saw Alessia standing next to him with a smile.
"Yeah." Roy smiled.
Alessia returned to the Archduke's Castle on a gryphon with him. While Roy was taking care of Luke, she had already taken a bath and changed her clothes.
Now she is wearing a simple white dress. The collar, skirt and sleeves of the dress are embroidered with small light blue flowers. Her long wavy hair hangs down on her left shoulder, and she is wearing a pair of crystal sandals.
Just such a simple outfit is already stunning.
As soon as the curves covered by the loose robe were exposed, her allure immediately increased a hundredfold. Although Roy quickly lowered his eyes, the slender and straight calves under the skirt and the white toes as delicate as works of art,
It also made him feel dizzy and his heart beat faster.
Ahem... Roy was a little embarrassed.
Looking at his look, Alessia showed a sly smile.
Although she is not usually proud of her beauty, Aleshia has also seen many men's faces when they see her. She may not care about other people's eyes, but she does care about her guardian knight.
There is a hint of little girl's vanity and pride.
"Can you walk with me?" Alicia asked.
"Of course." Roy nodded.
Alessia smiled brightly and walked towards the stone stairs of the city wall first. Roy followed immediately and walked side by side with her.
