July is when the weather is hot in the south of the mainland, and people try their best to escape the scorching heat. Nobles go to manors to escape the summer heat, wealthy businessmen build icehouses, and poor commoners take advantage of the shade under trees.
The bad weather made the entire south lose its vitality. The nobles who were constantly in conflict put down their hot tempers. The caravan traffic between the territories continued to decrease, and the entire south became eerily quiet.
Qinghuang collar.
One hundred cavalrymen stood uniformly, with four hundred strong soldiers behind them. Five hundred warriors all held combat weapons in their hands and wore leather armor. They stood there with a serious look on their faces. Sweat was flowing down, and their resolute eyes were blank.
A little shaken.
Allen looked at his army and narrowed his eyes. These soldiers were not only the defenders of the territory, but also the cornerstone of his empire.
"Everyone, please remember! From the moment you become a warrior in the territory, you are the guardian of the territory. You protect your family and the place where you were born and raised. Without a territory, there is no home."
"I! Alan Charles swears here to give you better treatment, give you the dream of advancement, and give your children a better life. Now! Fight for the territory, and I will lead you to defeat all enemies."
Looking at the excited sergeants one by one, Allen did not do it for any other reason than to let his future subordinates know what kind of person his lord is.
Their lords are not afraid of challenges, are not selfish, ambitious, and think more about their subjects.
As an aristocrat and an exploiting class, Allen would not label himself a selfless saint, because the aristocrat itself and the saint cannot coexist.
In order to meet the needs of the territory in the future, Allen not only requires the soldiers in his territory to be strong in combat, but also to be able to read simple words. Even illiterate people are forced to learn ordinary words.
Allen couldn't imagine that some of these guys would be unable to understand military orders when they served as officers in the future.
In an ideal state, there would be 500 officers and one officer would lead 100 recruits. In this way, Allen could train 50,000 soldiers in a short time. However, this is an ideal state. After all, some people are not suitable to become officers. Officers not only test their combat effectiveness.
It also tests management capabilities.
Allen estimated that 200 of his 500 men could be qualified as officers, which would be considered very good, and would also lay the foundation for his rapid expansion of the army in the future.
…
Allen, who was sitting on a chair in the hall, looked at Antonio with a frown. After checking the military training, Allen and Antonio came to the castle hall.
"Antonio, are you sure you can use the blood of the giant water-marked frog to break through the knights?"
"Lord Baron, I have made my decision, thank you for your support." Antonio stood there steadily and said with a serious face.
Antonio, who is in his forties, has been at the limit of cavalry for more than ten years. If he still fails to break through, when he is fifty, his body will be weak, and the chance of a successful breakthrough will be even slimmer.
One World of Warcraft blood can only extract one copy of Warcraft blood, and two water-marked giant frogs can extract exactly two copies of blood. However, there is a possibility of failure in absorbing Warcraft blood to break through, so Allen gave both copies to Antonio.
Outside the secret room, Allen stood guard outside the door, waiting for Antonio's breakthrough to end.
Three hours later, Antonio opened the secret room door and saw the smile on Antonio's face. Allen knew that Antonio had succeeded, but since Antonio used the blood of the water-marked giant frog, Antonio was a low-level knight of the water element.
Antonio returned the remaining Warcraft bloodline to Allen, and Allen reached out to take it.
There are also disadvantages to using blood to break through the knights. This is why Allen does not want Antonio to use blood to break through. If Antonio wants to break through the mid-level knights in the future, he must hunt down a mid-level monster, extract the blood, and let the high-level blood devour the low-level blood.
Only then can we break through.
Allen has told Antonio in advance, but this is Antonio's own choice, and it is not easy for Allen to interfere. Besides, Allen plans to use the blood of the water-marked giant frog in the army in the future, in order to prevent the generals of his territory from being stuck at low levels.
Knight and Allen will also try their best to find water-attribute monsters that can be farmed.
Antonio, who broke through the Knights, said goodbye to Allen and went back to adapt to the power of the Knights.
Holding a glass of wine in his hand, Allen leaned back on the lounge chair enjoying himself.
From today on, Qinghuang has acquired a second low-level knight, and Allen has no doubt that a third, fourth... will appear in the future.
However, as a baron, his subordinates have all broken through to the same level as himself. It is time for him to consider breaking through to the middle level. He cannot keep spending time as a low-level knight. Although his strength is comparable to that of a mid-level knight, his true realm is still low-level.
knight.
Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Allen rushed to the flame wheat field. The flame wheat had been moved to an empty valley by Allen a few days ago.
The two guards who were guarding the valley on the surface saw Allen and hurriedly saluted and let him go. Today, Allen plans to make all the remaining fire element crystals and the fire element crystals exchanged from Mr. Moore into a fire element liquid for him.
Use the flame wheat mother plant.
These fire element liquids may not be able to advance the flame wheat mother plant, but they can still make the mother plant one step closer to advancement. The improvement in the strength of the mother plant will also speed up the maturity of the daughter plants.
Looking at the little birds chirping happily in the air, Allen couldn't help but sigh, he still has to find crystal stones.
Riding on the strong fire element next to the wheat field, Allen practiced for a while, then said goodbye to Xiaoyi and returned to the castle.
Allen came back so early to help Antonio test his strength.
At first, Allen sternly refused. After all, he had reached the peak of a low-level knight without the ability to rely on elements. Antonio had just reached the low-level knight, and his whole body strength was only more than 200 kilograms. Allen was afraid that he would accidentally hurt Antonio, so Antonio had no choice but to leave.
When he looked sincere, it was hard for him to refute Antonio's face.
As expected, Antonio was unable to fight back in front of Allen.
Only seen.
puff.
Allen punched Antonio in the chest, and Antonio staggered and took a few steps back.
"Lord Baron, my subordinate has been defeated. Lord Baron is very powerful!"
It was better for Allen to hold back, otherwise half a ton of force hit the chest, and even Antonio, a low-level knight, would have his ribs broken and his chest dented.
Antonio said goodbye and left. Allen dusted himself off, took the towel handed by the servant and wiped his hands.
At this time, Barton came to report, and Andy asked to see him. He raised his hand and waved away the servant, Barton, Barry, and Bud.
"Lord Baron, my subordinates have made progress in infiltrating the Iron Stone Territory." Andy said with a face full of joy.
"Huh? Tell me about it?" Allen became interested.
"Lord Baron, a spy from the territory came to report today. He plays the role of a heroic gambler. Since Ada, the younger brother of Baron Currit's lover, loves gambling, he deliberately approached him and often invited him to drink. Today Ada
It revealed a very important piece of information." Andy kept telling the story.
"Oh! Say it quickly!" Allen was shocked.
"Yes, Ada said that in fact, the relationship between the seemingly friendly Baron of the Wood Vine Territory and the Baron of the Iron Stone Territory is actually very complicated..."
