In the early morning, Jena woke up to the chirping of birds.
She moved her body a little, and fortunately, she learned to make a lot of potions when she was resting in the Natural Sequence at the Walled City Academy. Although they were very common in the school and no one needed them, these potions now have a great effect. , allowing her injuries to heal quickly.
After taking out the food from the saddle bag and eating briefly, she did not wander around, but continued to practice in the same place and began to practice her own extraordinary sequence.
Although he is currently in Sequence 2, fortunately he has had the experience of advancing, so it is not difficult to improve his strength.
--------
In Neder County.
Lorraine Hill was wearing a black trench coat, with silvery hair falling on the hood and down of the clothes behind her. She walked on the stairs and climbed to a clock tower in the city, overlooking the city.
"Your Highness the Sage."
Nearly ten officials walked respectfully behind him and stood still, slightly nervously waiting for His Highness's questions. They were the mayors of various cities in Nied County, as well as several chiefs of security.
"How many troops are there in Ned County now?" The sage who looked like a girl turned around and asked the person behind him.
"Report to Your Highness."
"There are currently 8,000 troops stationed in Nied County, of which 3,000 are guarding mountain roads and checkpoints at the border, and 5,000 are scattered in various cities. In addition, there are about 12,000 reserve troops with military training experience. If a war breaks out, they can be temporarily recruited."
There are approximately more than 6 million people in Nied County. Among the 34 counties in Crancia, its population is not large, and it is considered to be in the middle and lower reaches. Coupled with its remote location and the oppression of the west wind in the past, the living environment of the residents is poor. Although there are A relatively large area of land, but most of it is uninhabited mountainous areas.
"How many extraordinary ones are there?"
"Among them, most of the extraordinary ones are Sequence 1-2, with about 1,000 in number, and there are about 60-80 Sequence 3 and above."
"Are there any other local fighting forces?"
"Yes, there are the local Angel Church, the extraordinary faction, and the regional alchemist association. The total number of extraordinary persons in the Angel Church is about 100, the extraordinary faction is about 500, and the local alchemists are about 200. But these alchemists, because Lacking some advanced knowledge, most of their strength is not high, they can only be used as auxiliary personnel, and they are not good at fighting. "
"There are quite a few people in the extraordinary faction." Lorraine Hill sighed a little.
"Yes, sir, most of them have been passed down for many years and have their own unique channels for advancement." A certain official seemed to want to say something else. After hesitating for a few seconds, he chose to speak.
"Your Highness, these extraordinary factions have established a network of relationships in the local area through master-disciple relationships and inheritance. Sometimes some of their laws and rules are not easy to enforce..."
"What was it like during the west wind in the past?" Lorraine Hill did not answer immediately, but wanted to know about the past environment.
"During the West Wind Period, local nobles would send their descendants there to learn some skills and improve their extraordinary order. At the same time, they would use this as a link to make friends with a group of extraordinary people and let them help with work."
"That's it." Lorraine Hill nodded.
"Although they are extraordinary beings, they still have to abide by domestic laws. If they are still dissatisfied despite clear warnings, they can apply to the Central Committee of Crancia for support."
These people will probably be a little disappointed when facing the current Clancia, because Clancia will not provide you with special rights just because you are a transcendent.
This is also the fundamental difference between Crancia and Frost Rose.
In the constitution established by Crancia, all people are equal, regardless of high or low. This is the foundation of the country, the flag and slogan of the uprising, and it is a fundamental concept that cannot be changed.
But West Wind is different from Frost Rose. Although Frost Rose currently has some so-called 'democratic' voting, in fact, the voting weights of ordinary people, rich people, and extraordinary people are completely different. The number of votes of a certain rich extraordinary person may be higher than that of ordinary people.
Thousands of times.
Frost Rose imitates the Green Empire and establishes a hierarchical and orderly pyramid society. Everyone will be sorted according to property and strength, with distinctions between superior and inferior.
The only thing that is better than Cangcui is that they no longer discuss bloodline and the like. On this basis, Cangcui also considers your birth lineage, parents' family, historical glory, etc.
In terms of class construction, Greenland has gone to the extreme, with a complex and logically clear theory of nobility.
The advantage of this is that the country can be controlled with relatively simple labor costs. As an emperor, as long as you deal with the relationships between several royal families, dukes, and important earls, the general framework of the country will not be in chaos.
As a duke, as long as he ensures that the following earls are loyal to him, there will be no disturbance in the area under his rule. The advantage of Green Green is that even among the common people, there are outstanding and emerging geniuses (actually, in the absence of education,
There are very few descendants), either they are recruited as son-in-law or married into the family of a big noble, or they are given some land and positions to accommodate them. In this way, they are absorbed into the new nobles, thus being separated from the original class and environment.
, I will no longer think about rebellion.
Of course, even among the nobility, there is competition, but that is another model.
In the long run, the result is that the people at the bottom of the green grass are like grains in the fields, shriveled and numb. They do menial and hard work and grow and die like weeds.
From the perspective of other countries, Crancia is doing a thankless job.
He tries to treat everyone as human beings.
Being a human means providing them with education, medical care, and a good living environment. This requires a huge and long-term investment, and what is the return?
Ethereal loyalty? Work a little harder?
They couldn't think of anything else to look forward to.
Maybe this is some girl's innocent dream.
But in reality, dreams will eventually wake up, and the Frost Rose Alliance does not mind being a cruel person who tears apart this dream. They will govern and rule the Snow Flower Seven Kingdoms in their own way, and then move forward in the direction of their hearts
.
And this direction is definitely not the direction that Lorraine Hill wants to see.
If it weren't for Pullman and Crancia's group of people, maybe she would stay in one place and live in seclusion because of her personality.
But now that she has reached this point, she will no longer sit idly by and watch this beautiful ideal collapse in front of her.
"My idea is to set up a local military academy specifically to train young people. The tactics and skills taught are mainly adapted to the local environmental characteristics. At the same time, it is dedicated to learning some knowledge about local Warcraft and becoming familiar with its habits and weaknesses.
, to deal with its attacks.”
"Due to the specialized content of the professors, a lot of costs will be saved, which will facilitate rapid popularization. These people will serve as excellent reserve forces, militia teams, security law enforcement teams, etc. Among them, outstanding students will be selected to continue their studies and receive more training.
Comprehensive training and education.”
"Then these people will form a team, all composed of extraordinary people, which can quickly support the knights everywhere."
"Of course, this is just my suggestion. You are locals and are more familiar with the local conditions. There are some shortcomings that need to be improved together."
Lorraine Hill's proposal triggered a discussion among the people accompanying him, and then they added and improved a lot based on their daily experience.
Finally, everyone began to discuss the name of this new knighthood.
"What name does Your Highness the Sage think is better?" Several people looked at each other, stopped their discussion, and turned around to ask the girl standing in the morning light.
Looking at the sun breaking through the fog in the distance and gradually rising, the young sage replied softly: "Let's call them the Knights of the Dawn Horn."
