. "Okay, after seeing you, I have to go to meet those young guys." After listening to the officials' reports, Fengniu's father-in-law stretched his neck. Then he turned his head and said to Pid, ​​"Pid, come together too."

"Haha..." Pid saw the intention of Fengniu's father-in-law and nodded with a smile: "As you wish, Your Majesty."

When we came to the conference hall next to us, we saw that the young officers in the conference hall respectfully saluted Fengniu father-in-law and me. Then when it was Pid's turn, it was not so friendly. I even saw contempt in their eyes. But Pid didn't care about it, and his usual smile was still on his face.

These young emperors and officials are representatives of low-level officers in various legions of the Holy Rana Empire. Although they are "young", some of them are about the same age as me, while others have just graduated from the Military Academy of Stone Fort.

Those older men seemed to have accidentally walked out of the group of officers after we came in and stood near me. These faces were all familiar to me. They were all officers of the Swan Castle Legion who had returned from Wing Lion City State. Now they have become the sergeant commanders or the phalanx company commanders of other legions.

The Gotton-style legion of the Holy Rana Empire has transformed from five legions of Gorton's Swan Castle, Stone Castle, Vulture Castle, Weeping Willow City, and Deciduous Fort into nine legions, and newly formed the Imperial Free City Legion, the Bayer Mountain Legion, the Fire Eagle Legion, and the Cross X Legion that retains the old-style legion. Almost all legions except Ostan's Cross X Legion carry the blood of the Swan Castle Legion.

In addition to the low-level officers of the Swan Castle Legion who were assigned to each legion after returning from the Wing Lion City State, after each war, the Marine Bull father-in-law appointed Count of Winter Wolf and the Imperial** regiment established by Pid will extract soldiers and sergeants from the Swan Castle Legion to other legions. According to the original land establishment model of the Gorton Legion, the lower-level units of the Legion can be allocated, expanded or cancelled, but the company-level officers are permanently organized. The officers in the company, including the sergeant commander, the military commander, the supervisor, the priest, the physician, and the commander, must be retained no matter how they are allocated. Usually, the ground is drawn away by other legions, and they are one of the two sergeant commanders and deputy captains of the 16-person team, the smallest unit of the Legion.

And now the officers standing in front of us are all at the level of phalanx company captains and sergeant commanders. They are either promoted from the sergeants in the Swan Castle Legion, or are low-level noble graduates from the Military Academy. Since other Gorton-style legions are not entirely composed of standing professional soldiers like the current Swan Castle Legion, but half belong to half-agricultural and half-army companies. Therefore, graduates who have just emerged from the Stone Fort Military Academy usually serve as company captains or sergeant commanders of very prepared companies.

Originally, the Swan Castle Legion was also organized with such a conventional Gorton-style army. However, frequent wars have made the Swan Castle Legion's original very well-prepared companies become regular companies. Almost every time the Swan Castle Legion's Legion will be launched to the battlefield immediately as soon as it is completed. As for the Swan Castle Legion's Sword Company, mountain camps, and light cavalry companies, the eight additional companies are special configurations. In other words, when needed, the Military Affairs Department will assign other Gorton-style corpses to these companies according to the Swan Castle Legion's model. Now other legions are only the Condor Legion's two light cavalry companies. After the Condor Legion comes back and reorganizes, those light cavalry companies will be separated from the Condor Legion and allocated to the next legion to the expedition.

And there are fewer and fewer Gorton Knights. The Great Knights of the Gorton Knights have become the chief sergeants or the company captains of the Gorton Legion, while the Guardian Knights have set up camps in the Imperial Affairs Department. Now, the Gorton Knights who have completed the battles in a complete manner are almost the only entourages of the knights who were the knights.

Of course, there are still knights among them, not only that, the legion commander also has the right to give the outstanding officers in the legion the Great Knights and Knights to the Gorton Knights. After passing the review and being loyal to the Bully Bull father-in-law, they can get the title of Knights of the Gorton Knights and rewards to the knights. And like Irving, the knights who do not want to be officers of the Gorton Legion can still lead those knight entourages to rush in front of the formation. In general, the Bully Bull father-in-law has begun to integrate the Gorton Knights and Gorton new legion. Because the Bully Bull Knights' Black Cross has long been embroidered on the ground battle flag of each Gorton Legion in the Holy Rana Empire.

After the father-in-law Mengniu praised and encouraged the officers of Geden, I saw that one of the young graduates among the officers was not very good. Out of a habit, he walked up to him and asked, "You don't look in good condition. Sergeant, can you tell me what's wrong?"

"Oh... Sir, I'm sorry that my anxiety has affected you." The young officer hurriedly bowed and replied after hearing my question.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, it was a book brought to me by a cousin from Yaxia the day before yesterday. Oh. My mother is an Yaxia nobleman."

Yaxia. I remembered Roland. I don’t know how she and Xingchen are now… After hearing the words of the officer Geden, he asked with a smile: “What book can make you so uneasy.”

"A book without a title."

"Shu without a title?" Could it be Bai Shu? This thought flashed through his mind. But he still pretended to be nothing and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"It was written by a poet of the Principality of Tsarma. He knew my cousin when he was fighting against the Mutu people in the Principality of Tsarma. But now he is dead. Only that manuscript is left. My cousin came to Weeping Willow City this time with the envoys of the Grand Duke of the Yaxia. Oh, I am carrying the book..." As he said that, the young Geden Legion turned behind and took out the book on the vase stand behind him.

"Haha..." It turned out that it was not Bai Shu. After a slight smile, he took the book handed over by Officer Ge Dun.

At this time, Pid came over not far away and whispered in my ear: "The envoy of the Grand Duke of the Axia came to meet the Emperor this time because he wanted us to send troops to attack the Mutu army in the Duchy of White Rose as soon as possible. The Mutu Empire mobilized part of the troops attacking the Pars Kingdom at the beginning of the year to attack the Principality of the Purs and the Axia army there. Just last month, the coalition of the Axia and the Axia army were defeated and retreated to the City of Thunderbolt..." Pid understood his meaning very clearly, which means that the book handed over to my hands was probably one of the arrangements of the Grand Duke of the Axia Roland.

"Haha...what book is this?" Fengniu's father-in-law saw Pid and I whispering to each other, and walked over to ask us.

"Sir, Father." He smiled and handed the book that he had not yet turned over to his father-in-law Mengniu.

After taking the book, Mengniu's father-in-law opened and looked at a few pages, and his face immediately changed. He snorted angrily and said loudly: "Beasts, those Mutu people..."

This surprised me a little. In my memory, the father-in-law of the Tors Fortress had never gotten such a temper. Even when the battle of Toss Fortress was at its most difficult time, could such a book arouse the anger of the father-in-law? Mutu? Just kidding, I don't believe that those Mutu people who are still fighting against several countries in the east can make the father-in-law so angry.

Just as everyone was surprised in the hall, the man-in-law threw the book to Pid and said to Pid: "You give these young men to see what the Mutu people have done."

"Yes, your majesty." Pid took the book, turned it over, and said to the text above: "The Mutu people entered the city, slaughtered the local residents, plundered and burned the city, leaving a ruin... I looked at the city with my own eyes, trying to find a receiving without corpses, but... that was impossible. The pagans rushed to our city, chopping people down like cutting down wheat, and burning the people in the houses and churches without pity. Looking up, the children became slaves, the babies were thrown to death on stones, the young people were burned by flames, the antiquities were abandoned randomly on the streets, the graceful girls wailed under the Mutu people, and walked barefoot into the slaves' ranks..."

"Okay..." Hearing this, Mengniu's father-in-law raised his hand to stop Pid, ​​walked to a sofa and sat down as if tired: "I can't listen."

"Your Majesty..." The young officers around him surrounded him with concern. Only Pid and the former members of the Swan Castle Legion looked at each other. The Swan Castle Legion seemed to have done similar things to the Asians. It was impossible for the father-in-law of the Mongols to know about this. I have done such a thing several times myself... This is...oh, I'm lying to the children.

"Your Majesty, delegate us to the battlefield against the pagans. We are willing to prove our loyalty to you and to the Father with our blood."

"Yes... Your Majesty..." Some of the young officers began to yell loudly. It seemed that the Asian Xia envoys did a good job in inciting the Gortons hatred against the Mutus. But even I don't think that it is time to fight with the Asian Xia people, and there are still so many troubles here that have not been resolved. The Fengniu father-in-law cannot not know.

I can't tell that our father-in-law is still an acting player. If I had said just now, I would have used my own words to convince the young officers and told them that this is not the time to deal with the Mutu people. Now it seems that the father-in-law's methods are much more clever.
