Chapter 617 606. Meet again
Green Empire, nobles are allowed to have private arms.
But not all private armed forces have the establishment of the imperial army.
To be precise, the military establishment is the license plate of the lord's private armed forces. For example, some unstable factors in a certain area require the military to take over, riots and plane wars in certain planes, garrison rotation between planes, etc. Under these circumstances, the armed forces with the imperial army will be assembled first, accept the deployment of the chief executive of the region, and lead the army to maintain regional law and order.
Although the Grimm Empire plane wars broke out frequently, the private armed forces were once in a state of depression.
Even so, there are still many nobles who want to have the establishment of the imperial army. The army establishment that Marquis Luther gave to Suldak is the dream of many lords.
Since the private army of noble lords needs the lords to pay expensive military expenses out of their own pockets, why do so many nobles still want to form private armed forces to become lords?
The reason is simple, there is a greater interest in it.
This is mainly because the lords will have the priority to acquire the resources of the plane while the plane is stationed. If the lords are willing to lead their private troops to participate in the plane war, they will get the legal right to open up the new plane instead of the empire's territory. The "Four Three Three Land Distribution Law" in the code, forming a private army is still a common means of tax avoidance, and so on.
All in all, even if you have a family background, if you want to promote your title, forming a private armed force is absolutely essential.
Moreover, having an elite army will also allow noble lords to have more say in the seats in the House of Representatives.
Marquis Luther included Suldak's private armed forces in his army. For Suldak, it was a good first step in terms of noble lords.
Marquis Luther believed that Suldak, who was born as a commoner, had no family background. As a lowly baron, his wealth could not afford the expensive military expenses of private armaments, so he told Suldak that he would not be able to afford the expensive military expenses of private armed forces. During the military process, no matter what kind of difficulties, we can help.
…
Nobles are called lords because they own territories and private armed forces.
Before that, Suldak was only the captain of the cavalry squadron of the Hailansa City Guard Battalion stationed in the Badlands, and the Hailansa City Hall commissioned him to form the Badlands Militia Battalion. Suldak was part-time militia The title of battalion commander.
Until he has a private army of his own, he can be said to be a real lord.
Currently, Suldak's title is a bit low, and the territory is not vast enough. The only sulfur mine may not be able to support private troops.
Marquis Luther put down the knife in his hand, and said to Suldak: "If you are worried about military expenses, in the initial stage, you will need to exchange meritorious service for the title in the future. Only when you are promoted to the viscount, can you get more territory. Of course, you can also develop a few mines on my plane, I still have a few undeveloped rich copper mines and iron mines, and the geographical location is not far from the town."
Suldak immediately said: "I am currently constructing my territory, and I will make good preparations when I return to Wall Village."
Mrs. Marian glanced at Marquis Luther, with a look in her gentle eyes that others could not understand.
Only the Marquis Luther could understand it in the restaurant. Mrs. Marian hinted to him again: "Young people will have some ideas of their own. Don't always impose your own ideas on each other. Rebellion often comes from this." '
Marquis Luther stopped talking about promotion to title and mine development. He pondered for a while, then changed the subject and said, "You can recruit some men at the Advanced War College. I know some famous men in Bena City. You can go to their colleges and choose at will, provided that you have to convince those students to join your private army."
"Lord Luther, I don't want those freshmen who just graduated from the academy." Suldak rubbed his nose and rejected Marquis Luther's proposal.
Marquis Luther asked with some surprise: "Then what good idea do you have?"
Suldak shared some of his understanding of forming an army: "I want to recruit some veterans who are willing to stay on the battlefield. Many veterans have rich combat experience, but they are forced to return to the countryside because of injuries on the battlefield. They have no life. Skills, so many people's lives are very difficult, and I want to find such veterans."
Marquis Luther glanced at Suldak again, and then he remembered that Suldak had climbed out of the heavy armored infantry battalion step by step, so he had a deeper understanding of these bottom-level veterans, and It seems that he still has some prejudices against the new troops of the academy, which led to his current thoughts.
Marquis Luther said: "But they have not received formal knight training. I think you can form a cavalry regiment or a swordsman regiment. Next spring will be the graduation season of the Advanced War College. Don't miss this good opportunity. Think Come and tell me."
Suldak nodded and said, "Okay, I will think about it carefully."
Marquis Luther then said: "But if you insist on choosing some retired veterans, although I don't agree with this, I can still provide you with some conveniences. I know many lords, veterans who have retired from their army There are always some, I will ask someone to bring these lists to you another day."
Only then did Suldak realize that a problem that troubled him could be solved in front of Marquis Luther with a slight movement of his fingers.
"That's really great." Suldak said happily.
Marquis Luther signaled to Suldak not to sit up straight every time he spoke, but to relax and eat. He said kindly: "I still have some expectations for you. I hope you can form a new army as soon as possible. Don't miss it." I will be in next year's round defense, and this will be a rare opportunity to train."
Suldak quickly agreed: "I will hurry up and do this."
There was a sound of hurried footsteps at the door of the restaurant, and everyone's eyes fell on the door of the restaurant. They saw Hathaway and Beatrice walking in from the corridor in exquisite long dresses, followed by four maids , the two entered the dining room, their gazes fell on the deep mountain of Suldak almost at the same time, the two exchanged a glance, first slowed down and walked in front of the Marquis Luther, and saluted the Marquis Luther, Mrs Marianne and the other lady .
Then he set his sights on Suldak. At this time, Suldak stood up very politely and looked at Hathaway with gentle eyes. Hathaway lowered her head shyly.
Although it was winter, in the castle, Hathaway was still very bold wearing a low-cut dress with a tight waist, so a deep white groove appeared on the squeezed chest, and the delicate collarbone and long The long neck makes the large area of skin on the chest more dazzling.
Mrs. Marianne nodded to Marquis Luther. At this time, Marquis Luther said to Suldak: "Okay, I still have some business to deal with. Next, I should leave some time for you young people."
The two ladies left the restaurant holding the arm of Marquis Luther.
…
Hathaway raised her white chin slightly, she was slender, her snow-white neck and delicate collarbone made her look like a beautiful white swan.
Her lips were raised slightly, and her blue eyes were fixed on Suldak. Hathaway put her hands behind her back, and her towering chest was straight. The two of them didn't speak, they just looked at each other silently in the dining room.
Constantly compressing the space between each other, until the two were tightly pressed together, Suldak put his arms around Hathaway's slender waist, held the back of her neck in one hand, and kissed deeply.
It wasn't until the two were a little out of breath that they separated from each other.
Beatrice pushed away Hathaway who was taking the first step, and looked deeply at Suldak with a pair of bold and passionate eyes. Beatrice's round-faced eyes were light brown. She looked at She looked like a wild and bold gypsy girl, always showing two teeth when she smiled, and her skin was another blinding white, somewhat smooth as brocade.
She didn't even wait for Suldak to come up, she directly turned into a gorgeous butterfly, threw herself into Suldak's arms, and gave Suldak a warm kiss.
The heat in the restaurant continued to rise, until a row of footsteps came from the door towards the kitchen, and a middle-aged butler came up with a row of cooks holding plates in their hands. Beatrice came from Suldak's Withdrew from his arms, restraining a certain physical impulse, Hathaway and Beatrice sat opposite Suldak, and the three of them made eye contact.
After a while, Hathaway and Beatrice took a sip of the cold liqueur to ease the atmosphere.
Suldak finished the grouse breast on the dinner plate, and the middle-aged butler added some pies to him. These exquisite delicacies cannot be eaten in Wall Village.
The two young ladies didn't seem to have any appetite either. They only ate two slices of white bread with some jam and drank a little liqueur, before finishing their breakfast in a hurry.
The three of them were not in a hurry to leave the restaurant. The cook standing behind removed the plate, and the butler ordered someone to serve a honey tea mixed with vanilla and lemon.
Holding a warm cup, Hathaway walked to the window of the dining room and opened the heavy curtains. A ray of dazzling sunlight shot into the room, immediately eclipsing the magic wall lamps in the room. Thick snow piled up the courtyard, and a large group of gardeners were clearing the snow in the garden.
The entire Marquis Luther's mansion is a busy scene, each steward is performing their own duties, leading a group of maids and servants to clean and decorate the garden.
A group of young people gathered on the training ground in the rear courtyard. They were probably members of the younger generation of the Luther family. Several noble ladies were actually standing outside the training ground. They were wearing fur coats and whispering to each other at the edge of the training ground.
Hathaway turned her head and asked Suldak behind her:
"Would you like to see the whole castle?"
"I wish I could!"
Suldak replied with a smile.
