Chapter four hundred and fiftieth eight wedding invitations
After hearing Pandora's words, Jones said with a slightly complicated expression: "I have to admit that this Red Dragon Duke is indeed a genius, having become an elemental knight at such an age!
In this regard, I am indeed not as good as him, but if you say that he can grow into a king, I really don't believe it!
You should know how difficult it is to give birth to a king. Talent alone is not enough! Even the Blood Pluto who was born as a mercenary was not promoted by talent alone!"
Behind the birth of every king, in addition to unparalleled opportunities and talents, there is also a large accumulation of resources. Jones is pessimistic about Allen's promotion to the king!
"I think you just think that others are more talented than you, and you are jealous!" Pandora curled her lips and said.
Jones looked at her somewhat disbelieving eyes, smiled, and said jokingly: "Pandora, I am your brother, and now you actually speak for others?
It seems to me that you are interested in this Duke of Red Dragon. I heard that Duke of Red Dragon is not yet married. If you are interested, I will go and talk to your father when you return to the kingdom?"
When Pandora heard this, her face turned red and she was about to refute, but Jones said again: "Okay, okay! I'm just joking, don't take it seriously. Now we'd better rush back to the kingdom as soon as possible to recover, so as not to be overtaken by the four brothers!
"
"Hmph!" Pandora looked at Jones's smiling face and snorted in dissatisfaction, turned her head away and stopped looking at him.
While talking, the convoy had already left Chilong City far away and disappeared to the east of the city.
…
The first day of February in the red dragon calendar.
At dawn, outside the gate of Qingniao Town, located in the east of Huomai County, there is already a bustle of people, and the number of people is still increasing, with people constantly gathering from all directions.
Everyone in the entire Blue Bird Town knows that today is an extremely special day. It is the first time the Principality recruits troops since Duke Chiryuu established the Principality of Chiryuu. Everyone knows that the Duke’s troops receive good treatment.
So early in the morning, people from all walks of life and classes in the principality, farmers, craftsmen, merchants, officials, etc. all rushed over with their children, looking forward to passing the selection!
At this time, outside the gate of Jade Bird Town, the people surrounded were different. Young teenagers were dragged by their families and mixed in among them.
A middle-aged man with bulging muscles and dark skin stood at the front of the team, holding a simple-looking black-faced boy in his hand.
"Kuxis! If you can pass the selection this time and become a duchy warrior in the future, you won't have to be a blacksmith like me. When the time comes, you will be crowned with meritorious service and become a noble!" The middle-aged man said with a soft face.
He said to his son.
"Father, don't worry!" Kusis tightened his hands, with a confident face and hope in his eyes!
How far away, a fat man dressed as a wealthy businessman squinted his eyes and sat on a big chair, looking at the grand occasion in front of him. Several guards stood behind him, and a little fat man stood beside the chair with an unhappy face, his face full of tears.
.
Keqi glanced at his son next to him and said nonchalantly: "I'm telling you, this bastard will not work for anyone today!"
The little fat man didn't even raise his head, secretly angry.
Even though Keqi is well-known in Jade Bird Town and has made some money through the wine business, outside of Jade Bird Town, he Keqi is nothing. In order to run the wine business, he has to grovel outside and be exhausted.
live!
Now that the principality has finally launched its recruitment plan, how could he give up? Even if he does not meet the conditions, he must send his son in. When the time comes, he will be crowned, become a noble, and his status will rise, so he will no longer have to be as busy as himself.
After being busy, I work hard day and night.
There are only a few similar situations among the people. Due to the strong military power of the principality and the continuous publicity of the Nine Divisions, the people of the entire principality are full of yearning to join the army.
However, the officials in charge of recruitment had not yet arrived, so even though everyone could not wait, they could only endure it secretly.
Suddenly, no one knew who shouted out in the crowd.
"Here we come! The adults recruiting soldiers are here!"
Suddenly, the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent. They all stood up on tiptoes, strained their necks, and looked forward.
The first ones to break into the crowd were a group of security guards wearing leather armor and swords hanging on their waists. After entering the crowd, they shouted loudly and pushed everyone back, widening a few meters of open space in front of the gate.
Then, accompanied by many officials from the household registration office in the town, a man in military uniform, with sharp eyes and an intimidating power all over his body stepped forward in front of everyone.
When they saw this battle-experienced sergeant from the Principality, all the whispers outside had stopped.
A large table was moved and placed in front of everyone. The soldier sat down first, followed by two officials from the household registration office behind the soldier, one in blue and one in green. What they held in their hands was the entire Jade Bird Town.
Age-appropriate youth roster.
Seeing that the crowd had formed a long queue thanks to the efforts of the guards, the two officials in blue from the household registration office smiled and said to the sergeant: "Sergeant Mksa! Can the recruitment work begin now?"
Mksa smiled solemnly and nodded lightly.
He was originally a low-level knight of the Qinghuang Knights, but now he was transferred to the warrior base. This time, the principality transferred a group of knight-level instructors from several major knights to be responsible for the training in the base.
He was sent here this time just to supervise and bring the recruited teenagers back to the reserve soldier base safely, and the specific recruitment work was done by the people at the household registration office.
"First place! First place!"
After receiving the reply, the official in blue cleared his throat and shouted.
After that, a white-haired old man at the front of the queue and the young man beside him were let go by the security personnel.
The official in blue from the household registration office glanced at the skinny young man and asked, "Where's the wooden identity card? Take it out."
When the old man heard this, he quickly took out two wooden signs from his arms and handed them over respectfully.
The identities of the two people were recorded in detail on the two wooden plaques.
The Qingyi official quickly picked up the two wooden signs, stared at them for a few times, and read: "Kewu, a villager of Lvfeng Village, Qingniao Town, was born in the 63rd year of the Red Dragon Calendar. His direct family members... his grandson Muda
La, occupation...Mdala, a villager in Green Wind Village, Bluebird Town, was born in the 12th year of the Red Dragon Calendar, and his direct family members...grandpa Kewu..."
The official in blue read the book, while the official in blue compared it with the book in his hand. After confirming that the identity of the skinny young man Mdala was correct, he recorded the name and said to the anxious grandfather and grandson in front: "First round of assessment
If you pass, please wait on the outside for the second round of assessment!"
Upon hearing that he had passed the first round of assessment, the grandfather and grandson were naturally grateful. They took a jade plaque from the official in Qingyi with surprise on their faces and walked out of the crowd. The first person to pass the assessment made the crowd behind them
I couldn’t help but get excited!
"Okay! Next one..."
At this time, inside the Red Dragon Palace.
"Duke! The recruitment work has been fully launched this time, and selection will be carried out on a town-by-town basis! I believe that it will not be long before the five thousand reserve soldiers are recruited!" Antonio stood in the hall and said respectfully to Allen in the hall.
"Yes!" Allen nodded, and the recruitment of reserve warriors officially began. Of course, in addition to the formal recruitment of soldiers at the reserve warrior base, the naval academy located on Blackland Island by Allen has also begun recruitment activities.
Unlike the navy and the army such as the Knights Corps, the Red Dragon Principality has no experience in cultivating this field at all.
Therefore, Allen is not planning to recruit naval soldiers on a large scale. Instead, he will first recruit 500 people on Blackland Island, conduct a small-scale trial, and then use these 500 people as seeds to expand the size of the navy.
In order to solve the problem of teachers in the naval school, Allen transferred a group of experienced sailors from the two fleets of the Red Dragon Principality, as well as some retired captains, and asked them to teach the new recruits. At the same time, the only
A black dragon warship was also transferred by Allen to familiarize the soldiers with how to operate the principality's warship.
…
"Your Majesty the Duke! This is...an invitation!" After the report, Antonio did not leave, but hesitantly took out an invitation from his sleeve.
Allen raised his eyebrows, glanced at Antonio curiously, and motioned to Barton next to him.
Barton understood, walked over, took the invitation from Antonio's hand, and handed it to the Duke.
Allen opened it and took a look, with a smile on his face, and said to Antonio: "This Duke really doesn't know that Barry is getting married!"
Then Allen looked at Barton next to him reproachfully. Barton and Barry were brothers. At this time, he must have known clearly, but he did not tell himself at all.
"I wonder whose lady it is?" Allen asked again.
Antonio bowed respectfully and said with a smile: "Tell me, Your Majesty the Duke! She is the sister of Viscount Quincy!"
"Quincy? Okay! This Duke will definitely go with generous gifts!" Allen smiled helplessly. Not to mention Antonio's face, he also considered that Barry is the director of the Principality's Security Department and his attendant knight.
, he will not refuse.
"The Duke is serious! His presence here is a great honor to the war leaders!" Antonio was happy and bowed again. He originally came to hand over the invitation, but he was very hesitant in his heart. He didn't know if the Duke would give him any face.
.
A few minutes later, looking at Antonio's leaving back, Allen sighed. Time passed so fast. He still remembered that Barry and Button Bader became his squire knights at the same time a few years ago.
However, because Barry was the more alert among the three, and there was a shortage of management personnel in the Nine Divisions, Allen transferred him to the Security Office. Over the years, Barry has lived up to Allen's expectations and managed the Security Office in an orderly manner.
Maintain public order in the principality.
Now two or three years have passed, and Barry is about to start a family!
Thinking about it, it seems normal. After all, Barry Button Bader is all over twenty years old, Cooley, the director of the Finance Department, is also nineteen years old, Andy is the oldest of the five, twenty-two years old, and Alan
She is already eighteen years old and is old enough to start a family.
Especially Allen, if he hadn't always rejected Mrs. Lisa's kindness, I believe he would have gotten married earlier than Barry.
