Chapter 439 [0436] Khan Recruits Soldiers

After recognizing the face of the "magic noble" of the Silent Man, Ino returned to the Crown Guard Manor with relief.

She made up her mind that she no longer needed to care about the opinions and interests of these Silent Manors - as long as they did not cause trouble for her.

Just when Ino wanted to share her gains with Lux, she was surprised to find that Lux had not returned to the Crown Guard Manor even though it was already late!

Not only Lux was not there, but Ogasha, Pete, Tiana, and the Crown Guard family were not there.

It was really strange.

Ino, who couldn't find anyone, asked the butler, but the butler didn't know either - he only knew that Ogasha, Pete, Tiana and Lux ​​went out together, but he didn't know where they went.

Helplessly, Ino could only get up and leave the Crown Guard Manor to go to the Bouville family to find Sona.

Then, she was surprised to find that Sona was not there either!

Although Sona was not there, Lestara was at home. After learning that Ino was Sona's friend and the elder of the Silent People, she smiled and explained Sona's whereabouts.

"Sona and Lux ​​went to the city to recruit soldiers together."

"Recruit soldiers?" Ino widened his eyes in surprise. "They don't have military positions, why would they go to recruit soldiers?"

"Not recruiting soldiers as a military position, but recruiting territory garrisons for Count Laxana. Considering the great pressure on the defense of the North, His Majesty specifically allowed Lux ​​to recruit some of the reserve soldiers to go to the North with her."

"This is really rare." Ino blinked, "This is the first time I heard that the lord can recruit private troops from the regular army."

"It can't be considered a reserve." Lestara shook her head, He explained, "The kingdom's reserve recruitment has just begun this year. Although these soldiers are called reserves, they have only registered their names, and have not even started the most basic tests... His Majesty allowed Lux ​​to recruit private troops from these reserves, also considering the long distance from Xiongdu to Fosbyro."

Lestra did not say it clearly, but Ino could understand what she meant: when Lux went north to Fosbyro, she would definitely take a large number of infected demons with her. Although Lux and Ino were confident that they could control them, things might not be so safe in the eyes of Jarvan III.

Moreover, the Silent Man, who was supposed to assist in the transfer, did not want to leave Xiongdu at all.

At this time, Ino could not help but think of the excuses that the Silent Man had used before to shirk his reluctance to leave Xiongdu - in addition to the difficulty of leaving their homeland, there was another one that "the nobles of Xiongdu also need protection."

I think this one is not a lie, and it is even possible that the Silent Man has reached some tacit understanding with the Noble Council and intends to become the magic garrison of Xiongdu.

In this case, escorting a group of demon-tainted people to the North naturally became a big project.

If you want to send them safely, if you send soldiers to escort them, the time and money spent on the trip will definitely be indispensable.

In addition, the grudges between the garrison soldiers of Demacia's capital and the demon-tainted people are really big, so Jarvan III simply allowed Lux ​​to recruit private soldiers from the reserve soldiers registered in the capital.

For His Majesty, sponsoring this private army to Fosbyro will definitely cost less than mobilizing an army from other places to the capital, escorting the demon-tainted people to Fosbyro, and then mobilizing them back to the garrison - and sponsoring private troops is still a grace from the king, which is a benefit without cost, so why not do it?

After thinking about this, Ino said goodbye to Lestara politely and returned directly to the Crown Guard Manor.

She did not go out of the city to find Lux, because she knew very well that she knew nothing about recruiting soldiers, and there was no point in going out of the city at this time. It would be better to go back to the Crown Guard Manor to study.

I'm about to leave the capital. I won't have so many books to read when I go to Fosbyro!

……………………

Carrying her small backpack, Sislia stood in the long team that looked like a winding river, tiptoeing and watching the team creeping forward bit by bit at a desperate speed.

This little girl from Yuncong came to Demacia's capital for the first time, and she has not yet adapted to the biggest feature of the capital - the large number of people.

Although Yuncong and Xiongdu are both directly under the king, the city size (if Yuncong's village can be considered a city) and the population are not at the same level.

In fact, even Tobysia, an important transportation and commercial hub in the south of Yuncong, is not at the same level as Xiongdu in terms of population and city size. Therefore, for Sislia, a country girl who has not even been to Tobysia a few times, the crowded capital is simply dazzling.

Holding her small backpack tightly, Sislia took a long time to find the recruitment office in the east of Xiongdu.

That's right, Sislia is here to join the army.

As the eastern gate of Demacia, the area around Greenfang Peak is not only of great strategic significance, but also rich in resources. Therefore, unlike the northern border, the areas around Greenfang Peak, including Tobysia, Yuncong, Kalens, and Yanxiang, are all territories directly under the royal family.

As a Yuncong person, if Sislia wants to join the army, she will not join the noble private army, so she does not need to provide her own weapons, armor, and horses like the people of Misilver City.

Of course, even if the material conditions are relatively easy, it is not easy to become a glorious Demacia soldier in Yuncong, because compared with becoming a noble private soldier and then becoming a regular soldier from the private army, it is much harder to become a glorious Demacian soldier in Tobitsia. Direct entry into the military requires rigorous testing.

After all, it is the territory directly under the king!

Although Heathlia is not big, she has been active and flexible since she was a child. She is not only tough, but also very patient and athletic. At the reserve recruitment office in Tobitsia, she successfully passed the primary test and received Got a carriage ticket to Xiongdu.

With excitement, Heselia rode a carriage carrying summer grain and headed west along the waterway to the capital of Demacia. Then, just when she thought she was about to usher in a bright future, she ruthlessly Reality gave her a heavy blow.

If you want to enlist in the army, you first have to queue up.

Reserve soldiers who have passed the reserve test have a certain degree of freedom of choice - according to each person's own characteristics, they can choose to report to different armies with their own certificates stamped with paint seals.

Xisilia has heard about the heroic deeds of the Fearless Vanguard since she was a child, so her goal is naturally to join the Fearless Vanguard and become a member of the Fearless Vanguard!

But the problem is, if Heselia thinks so, others also think so!

So, at the recruitment office, Heathlia discovered in despair that even though three registration windows had been opened at the Fearless Pioneer registration point, the length of the queue was still the combined length of the queues at several other registration points.

Moreover, because the requirements of the Fearless Vanguard are the most stringent, the speed of this long team is much slower than that of other teams!

Heathlia is very patient, but no matter how patient you are, you will inevitably feel a little impatient after waiting in line for two hours.

She sprang up again and looked in the direction of the recruitment office. Heathlia's eyes swept across the frustrated faces of several big guys who came out of the recruitment office - seeing that these strong guys failed to pass the test, Heathlia was both happy and nervous.

I am glad that I have fewer competitors, but I am nervous because I don’t know whether I can pass the test.

Seeing that the queue was still very long, Heathlia shook her head slightly.

After standing here for a long time, she felt a little hungry.

There are still a few pieces of bread in Xisilia's small backpack, but Xisilia doesn't plan to eat them now - not because she is worried about delaying her test score, but because the bread is Yuncong's specialty hard bread. , without hot soup, I couldn’t even eat it even if I wanted to.

Helpless, Heathlia decided to look around to distract herself. The more she thought about being hungry, the more hungry she felt.

Then, looking around, her eyes quickly fell on the newly opened recruitment window not far away.

"Northern Border Army?" Seeing the newly opened recruitment window displaying a sign, Heathlia blinked in disbelief, "Aren't the Northern Border Army usually held by private troops?"

"That's recruiting a private army." Hearing Heathlia whisper to herself, the chestnut-haired young man in the queue behind her curled his lips and said with a hint of showoff, "You are from out of town, right? ? Then you may not know that that is the window for Count Laxana to recruit private troops. "

"Count Laxana?" Although Xisilia is relatively familiar with the military system, she can only turn her eyes dark when the name of a noble is mentioned. "Why would she recruit a private army here?"

"Count Laxana is the newly consecrated earl." Perhaps because he was too bored, or perhaps because he finally found an opportunity to show off, this young man as thin as a bamboo pole answered all questions, "Her territory is in the north. Listen, She said that she was going to take all the demon-infected people to the North, so His Majesty the King allowed her to recruit private troops in Xiongdu, and then go directly to the North, as if to some Fubai Tower? "

"Is it Forsbarrow?" Heathlia blinked. She was committed to becoming a fearless pioneer warrior and she also had some knowledge of the geography of the kingdom. "She is the lord of the Key of the North, Forsbarrow?" "

"Hmm, that seems to be the name." Shou Zhugan thought for a while, then nodded, "They are all bitter and cold places anyway, and they are definitely not comparable to the Fearless Pioneers!"

Xisilia agreed with what he said, "The private army is incomparable to the Fearless Vanguard," but she disagreed with the reasons given by the thin bamboo pole. Therefore, she just nodded lightly, and then stopped talking.

Seeing that Xisilia stopped talking, this thin bamboo pole seemed a little bored. After muttering a few words to himself, he finally closed his mouth.

Then, just when Heselia was about to jump up again to see where the queue in front was, several people wearing exquisite armor came to the recruitment office and walked to the window for recruitment of the Northern Border Army.

Just when Heselia enviously stared at the shiny armor on their bodies and the slender swords on their waists, thinking about when she could have such an outfit, behind her, the thin bamboo pole made a low sound. Low exclamation.

"Ms. Fiona! Why did she come to enlist?"

"Fiona?" Heathlia blinked as her thoughts were interrupted, "Is she famous?"

Kalya’s small classroom·Different local policies:

Because of the aristocratic feudal system, the policies of the Kingdom of Demacia are different in various places. Although Jarvan III has been working hard to eliminate the policy differences in various places, it seems that this should be impossible.
