"According to the habits of those nobles, if they venture to a relatively safe location not far from the city, they will set off directly after a day of preparation." Soon, Bach began to think about how to deal with the current situation.
.
"However, those with status often go on adventures to such places to show off, so the entire adventure process often becomes like traveling. In this case, the other party has to go out at least after 12 noon."
Having said this, Bach shook his head with disdain. Although the August family that his family had been serving was also a noble, the overall ethos of the entire family was that of a soldier, more pragmatic than pragmatic.
Therefore, growing up in this family, he really doesn't think much of those so-called upper class people who seem to be artificial.
"After all, you can't ask everyone to be like us. To be honest, the atmosphere of our family looks more like a strict military camp. I think it would be better if we could relax a little." Lawrence said with a smile.
As a hereditary nobleman, he has never been very interested in some of the family's ancient traditions. Unfortunately, due to the existence of those retainers, Lawrence could not change the atmosphere within the family according to his own ideas in a short period of time.
Fortunately, since the whole family has now arrived in a new territory, those complicated rules will not be used for a while.
As the construction of the entire island spreads, Lawrence's prestige is also accumulated step by step. He believes that when the entire development work is completely on the right track and requires those rules, he will have enough prestige to change those rules and let the whole family move towards
The direction of his hopes has changed.
"Okay, you're right." After hearing Lawrence's complaint about the family rules, Bach politely answered and then abruptly changed the topic back to what everyone was talking about just now.
"These are things that need long-term consideration, and what we need to face now is the problem of manpower in the next possible conflict."
"That's right." Lawrence nodded. "Do you have any good ideas? I think as the general manager of the Great Lakes Region, you should know who in this generation can be mobilized by us."
"There are indeed some people, but the total number will not exceed 20." Bach said helplessly. "After all, we are here to do business, and the entire area is considered a very orderly area. Therefore, our armed forces here
There aren’t many people.”
"Especially in the future, we may need to confront some powerful armed forces in the wild. I don't think those temporarily recruited security personnel can play a big role in the wild battle, and may even be counterproductive."
Bach said to Lawrence with a serious face, "So there are really very few people who can use it."
"Even if there are 20 gunmen, this is too few people." Lawrence shook his head and said, "To be able to pull off this situation, the opponent must have at least two to three hundred people, and it is likely that a large number of unrelated people will sneak in."
"In this complicated situation, I think we need at least three to five hundred armed personnel. Just 20 gunmen, even if everyone is a transcendent, won't have much effect."
"But I really can't find anyone here." Bach shook his head and said. "After all, the time we started to purchase properties here is too short, and everything has just begun."
"Under such circumstances, we are only entering into the preparatory stage of establishing armed militias according to our original habits in the Old Continent and New Sauer Island, so the only manpower we can spare is those future backbones who have just completed basic training."
"Backbone?" After hearing what Bach said, Lawrence made a decision immediately. "If it's the backbone, forget it. After all, they are the core personnel of the future factory and farm protection team. There is no need to waste them on such things."
After hearing Lawrence say that he opposed the mobilization of this group of manpower, Bach nodded at first. But he soon reacted and asked an important question. "So where do we recruit our manpower from?"
"I have some summoning spells. If we hire some adventurers at this time and add the manpower contacted by the previous team, we should be able to complete the next plan."
Lawrence thought with a grimace for a while and then said. "After all, I saw that the adventurers here are more active before, so we should be able to hire enough people."
"I don't recommend recruiting people, Your Excellency." After hearing what Lawrence said, he immediately expressed his opposition.
"The fact that the other party can sell those maps in this city with great fanfare clearly shows that they have their own spies in this city. Some adventure teams are even used by the conspirators to hide their identities."
"What you said is indeed a problem." Lawrence closed his eyes and thought for a moment before saying helplessly. "But we really need people now."
As soon as the words fell, the entire scene fell into silence. After all, the situation in the underground market had shown that the person who was preparing to execute the conspiracy had an insider among the adventurers.
And if you want to openly recruit people from those occasions, you need to bear the risk of being sneaked in by spies and suddenly backstabbed at critical moments.
As for recruiting people directly from other places, let alone recruiting people directly from other places. The nearest personnel concentration place here is Huguang City, but it would take at least three or four days to recruit people from Huguang City and then bring them over. By that time, it would be too late to do anything.
At least it is not very difficult to recruit armed forces in this world, especially in the Great Lakes region where civilization and wilderness meet, where a large number of so-called adventurer teams are active.
It's just that it's not easy to find reliable manpower, especially when you need to work hard with people.
The reason why a team like the Minotaur Hammer and Lawrence can trust each other is also very simple, because the identities of both parties, whether they are priests of the goddess of wealth or the hereditary Earl of Sauer, doomed them to be unable to participate in such a conspiracy.
Therefore, in the face of possible crises, dual-players can naturally form a simple alliance as quickly as possible.
However, if even one of them changes their identity and is not bound by the aristocratic code or the identity of the gods, then it will be basically impossible for the two parties to establish mutual trust in such a short period of time.
However, this situation has a certain degree of chance. After all, only a few of the so-called adventure teams include nobles or clergy.
For most adventurers, if you want to truly understand their situation, you must conduct a period of contact or investigation, but what Lawrence lacks most now is time.
"Lawrence, I do know that there is a place where there should be people who can mobilize." Just when the carriage fell into silence, Saifei, who had been beside him, suddenly said.
"If I remember correctly, you only allowed some of the temporarily anchored ships in Huguang City to evacuate with the first batch of evacuated personnel-"
"Yes, there are still two transport ships and a warship parked at the pier in Huguang City." After being reminded by Saifei, Lawrence suddenly remembered that not all the navy on Sauer Island had left.
According to his previous orders, these three ships will undertake some important transportation tasks.
After all, Sauer Island, which is in the construction stage, needs a variety of supplies, and Lawrence and the others happen to have money now. In this case, they will naturally take this opportunity to purchase a batch of supplies and bring them back by ship.
Obviously, the procurement of materials required for an island cannot be completed in a short time. Therefore, the three ships were naturally docked at the dock in Huguang City.
Considering that the sea is not that safe in this era, most sailors and sailors have received various military trainings, especially those on one of the warships.
