Crancia has started a new round of recruitment, and this time the leader is special, it is the current great sage Lorraine Hill.
Following the instructions of His Highness the Sage, each province and county dispatched a group of elite soldiers from reserve and active duty to the central capital for training.
The qualified members will be absorbed into the newly established National Knights and become one of them, and will be awarded the title by the Sage himself.
If it was just the former, most of the people who were interested were just ordinary people, but with the sage personally awarding and conferring honors later on, this honor was incredible. Soon the news spread throughout the country, and some masters who had been famous for a long time even
Quite heartwarming too.
If there are star-chasers in this era, then this charming silver-haired girl is the idol in many people's minds.
Many people even have a rough portrait of this sage placed in their main hall in their homes, and in the eyes of others, this is a very honorable thing.
It is a pity that there are too few excellent painters nowadays, and there seems to be no artist who can completely depict this girl's peerless face, so in the end, she simply did not paint her face, and replaced it with a veil, revealing only her clear eyes.
Clancy, Buckthorn County.
A group of teenagers around 18 years old were walking home in the afterglow of the setting sun, talking and laughing along the way, chasing each other and playing around.
This group of young people had just finished a busy day's work and went to the river to take a quick bath after get off work. It was a refreshing moment to return home with the evening breeze blowing.
"If you ask me, the Frost Alliance isn't that good either. In the end, we, Clanscia, will definitely win." A young man with a hedgehog head said.
"Victory is expected, but the process is expected to be a bit difficult." A tall and thin young man analyzed rationally.
"Hey, why are you so unsure of yourself? Didn't we think that the aristocrat who was as powerful as Xifeng and the Electric Knights were also defeated by us?"
"Little Lurna has a population of only tens of millions, not even a quarter of our Crancia. Even if we include the average Verga, it's not that many. In terms of strength, we will definitely win."
"Despite this, their golems and airships are quite powerful. If you have been to Verga in the south, you will have an impression of those huge war machines. This kind of iron turtle is really difficult to deal with."
"But I think..."
Several people began to argue with each other again, and for a while each expressed his or her own opinions. It was the time of youth and passion, and they even waved their hands and feet when they were excited.
Fortunately, everyone is familiar with each other, and they will soon reconcile and remain brothers.
Since the establishment of Crancia, thanks to the government's education and publicity, the people at the bottom now have a clear understanding of the major events of their country and the country. Every few days, bulletin boards in towns will post recent major events in the country.
How is the war going, what policies are being implemented in various places now, what places will be reformed in the future, etc.
While everyone watched it with gusto, they also talked to each other and became more and more proud of the country.
Many misunderstandings and dissatisfaction come from information asymmetry and occlusion.
After the establishment of Crancia, Lorraine Hill also emphasized the importance of publicity.
When the general public has a clear understanding of the current major events in the country and the sources of policies, they will gradually develop a sense of ownership and understand the reasons for the implementation of many policies. They will not be maliciously misled, misunderstood, or contradicted by others.
.
Sometimes, for example, when we need to relocate, we arrange for everyone to dig mountains and dig land, all for the sake of local construction. However, if the benefits of doing so are not explained in advance and publicized, it will easily lead to misunderstanding and conflict, accumulation of resentment, and harm to each other.
.
Just when these young people returned to the town, a group of people were gathered in the small square in the center of the town.
"The call letter issued by the Sage himself is to select outstanding young people to participate in arduous training and study. The outstanding ones who pass the assessment will enter the National Knights and receive the enlistment medal personally awarded by the Sage."
"Wow! Is this true?"
"I must go."
"What are the conditions? I want to go too."
For a time, many young people in the square started talking excitedly. After all, the conditions given for this selection were very generous. As soon as the National Knights heard the name, they knew that they were elites in the military, and the treatment was definitely not bad. In addition, they could also
Seeing that beautiful sage with your own eyes is what all the young people in Clancia dream of.
"Let's go too, Cooper. This is an extremely rare opportunity." A slightly taller young man said to his friend beside him.
"Well, now that we have just graduated from the military academy in Sea Buckthorn City, we are lucky enough to catch up." The strong young man clenched his fists, and the pride in his chest slowly boiled like a flame.
Since their family was freed from the oppression of the West Wind nobles, they have finally lived a stable life. In order to repay their aging mother and let their family live a good life in the future, joining the army is currently the best and fastest shortcut.
Crancia's soldiers have a high status among the people and are a symbol of glory. After joining the army, the government will subsidize their families with part of the food and money. This will even become a kind of protection, and local gangsters will not
Dare to reach out to this kind of family. Once someone crosses the red line, they will be severely punished by the local government.
Not only the honor, but also the treatment, protection, dignity, etc. obtained by joining the army are what many people yearn for. This has also caused the younger generation today to regard joining the army as their first choice in life.
"Cooper, you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time." A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties walked over quickly. He was wearing a gray coarse cloth jacket that was popular at the time and was a bit bloated.
"What's wrong, Uncle Dana?" Cooper looked at the mother's brother, his own uncle.
"You saw the notice in the square just now, right?" The uncle patted Cooper's shoulder with his rough hands, and the wrinkles and scars from years of hard work were clearly visible.
"I saw it."
Cooper nodded. At this time, he could clearly smell the pungent smell of paint on this uncle's body. This uncle usually worked in a furniture factory and was very miserable. It was not until Clanccia was established that he got his own
With the salary, my life is a little more comfortable.
"Do you want to go?"
"Yes." Cooper's eyes were full of fighting spirit.
"Good boy, you are ambitious! Haha." Dana patted Cooper on the shoulder again, then held his wrist and pulled him to the side.
"Many people want to go and pass the exam. The competition this time will be fierce." He walked in front, and the rough calluses on his palms made Cooper feel like dry tree bark.
"Your uncle, I don't have much ability. I was taken care of by your mother when I was a child. Later, your mother got married and sometimes helped me secretly."
"Those years, your family was not doing well. Your father even beat your mother several times because of this. I have always felt guilty after knowing about it." He sighed, his voice a little hollow.
"Then your father passed away, and life at home became even more difficult. I worked in a furniture factory, basically as a coolie, and didn't get much money. I wanted to help, but there was nothing I could do."
"I can only blame myself for not having the ability." He slowly recounted the past years.
"Fortunately, the benevolent sage came, and later Crancia was established. I also got some light from this, and my life gradually got better."
"Looking back now, there are still too many regrets and regrets in life, but there is nothing we can do if we miss them."
Dana held Cooper's hand and talked as they walked, finally stopping in front of a shop with several grilled sausages hanging on the sign.
"You have been in good health since you were a child, but this is not enough. You have to eat more meat. Now is the time to grow."
"From now on, after you finish your work, come to my house every day. Uncle, I will prepare delicious food for you and try to make you stronger so that you can be stronger than others."
"But the price of meat is not cheap..." Cooper hesitated. Even though life is much better now than before, it is still a very luxurious behavior for ordinary people to eat meat every day.
"It's okay, uncle, I can handle it." Dana comforted Cooper. He had never been married in his life. He only had a nephew who was his sister's son. Now, even if he tightened his belt, he had to help him raise him well.
Physically, strive to get a spot.
As a poor man who has never left Sea Buckthorn County in his life, he does not have much knowledge and cannot give Cooper any help in training and practice. The only thing he can do is to let him lay a good foundation as much as possible and strive to achieve success in the subsequent election assessment.
A little advantage.
"Also, don't tell your mother. She has been used to saving her whole life. She will feel uncomfortable and torment herself."
"Well, I know, Uncle Dana."
Perhaps before, Cooper looked down upon this humble elder, but now his nose was a little sore, and he secretly vowed in his heart that he must exercise well and not let down this elder's good intentions.

As recruitment orders spread to all directions, batches of outstanding reserve forces and military academy graduates were selected and sent to Solander, where a new military academy was now established.
And the students who graduated from this National Central Military Academy will gradually grow into the mainstay of this country's new generation, and one bright star after another will emerge in history.
