Age of Mysticism - Chapter 434

Chapter 434 Sergey’s Enlightenment

The ventilation ducts on the ceiling are blowing cool wind, and a chandelier is swaying left and right under the push of the airflow.

The light illuminates the closed room and also illuminates the two people in front of and behind the desk.

Baron Sergey was wearing the uniform of the city militia Wolf Brigade. He specially found the best tailor in the Holy Mountain to modify the original city militia uniform, making the new uniform more similar to the military uniform of the Imperial Army. The overall style tends to be tough, highlighting the heroic spirit of soldiers.

For today’s military formation ceremony, Baron Sergey even cut his hair short, following the standards of imperial officers.

Sitting opposite Baron Sergei was the envoy of the Celtic Duke, an aged barbarian wearing the robes that only barbarian nobles are qualified to wear. His muscles are no longer as strong as those of the young man, and the loose skin is attached to the bones, which highlights the large skeleton of a barbarian.

The special envoy persuaded Baron Sergey well: “The Wolf Brigade is an urban militia to maintain the law and order of the holy mountain, not an official army for military operations.

Looking at the other militia groups, those young barbarians don’t even have a pair of leather armor, and their weapon is just an iron and wooden club, which can already handle all the incidents that happened in the holy mountain. To deal with civilians, there is no need for heavily armored combat soldiers, let alone war machines and magic projectiles.

Baron!

Your Excellency the Duke understands your feelings, and also knows that you want to fight for the freedom of the Tedgar Hills. But you have to consider the mood of your colleagues and the barbarian leaders. The equipment of the Wolf Brigade is already better than the armored soldiers of the Duke’s Castle, which is not a good thing for you. ”

“Earl Rammutu…” Baron Sergey respected the old barbarian earl very much: “You have the title of Duke Castle Brain, you are a wise man, and a nobleman respected by everyone, including the Duke.

It is a great honor for you to participate in the formation ceremony of the Wolf Brigade.

With your wisdom and understanding of war, you must understand that the war potential of the old system of Tedgar Hills is exhausted. The strength of the barbarians alone cannot drive away the iron-armed imperial army. Only the human army loyal to the Duke can join the battle, and it is possible to reverse the situation.

The battlefield of the Canglang Brigade is not on the holy mountain, and the opponent is not civilians, but the main army of the empire. The soldiers of the empire are all armed with steel and magic. In battle, they will orderly invest in war machines, alchemy war puppets, and airships to cast battle magic.

If I send my soldiers to the battlefield with sticks and clothed clothes, it is to send them to die. I will not just bury the first human army in the Tedgar Hills. ”

Barbarian Earl Ram Mutu sighed: “You are right, the current Imperial Army is no longer the former Imperial Army, and the Barbarian Legion is behind this era. But the Duke has already recognized the mistakes we made, he While actively preparing for reform, I heard that the adults have made up their minds to lift the factory restrictions.

This is a great thing for you human races who are good at business. The barbarians will have to pay a very high price for these changes, the Duke will face a lot of pressure, and the barbarian nobles and tribal leaders will not allow these measures to be implemented smoothly.

My lord duke doesn’t want you humans to stimulate the barbarians in this special period, make money quietly, and don’t drive these expensive machines around. Those barbarians who have been hit and bankrupt will not be able to bear this gap. ”

If Baron Sergey hadn’t had the dinner with Luke, he might have agreed to the request brought by Earl Rammutu this time in order not to provoke the barbarians.

The current Baron Sergey has learned to jump out of his own confinement circle and look at problems from a macro perspective.

In the past, the Tedgar Hills imposed factory restrictions. Who was restricted?

Those who are restricted are those who are good at doing business.

However, even with the factory restrictions, the wealth generally owned by the human race is still higher than that of the barbarians. Take a look at the wealthy businessmen with the highest wealth ranking in the entire Holy Mountain, how many of them are barbarians… Mrs. Fickchek, a prodigal bitch, doesn’t count.

Now under the pressure of the war, the Duke of Celtic has to lift the factory restrictions and speed up the industrialization of the Tedgar Hills. This will inevitably cause the wealth gap between the human race and the barbarians to continue to widen, and those barbarians who have gone bankrupt due to factories will definitely hate the human race.

Can the human race’s retreat and forbearance solve the problem?

cannot!

The knife is in the hands of the barbarians.

If the conflict between the barbarians and the human race had to be released, the Duke of Celtic would definitely not stand on the side of the human race.

We human merchants swear to be loyal to the Celtic Duke from generation to generation, but the Duke did not swear to protect the interests of the human race from the barbarians for generations.

It is safest to hold fate in your own hands.

At this moment, Baron Sergey has never felt so strongly grateful to a person. If he gave up arming the wolf brigade due to pressure, these weapons might be used when the barbarians rushed into his house to rob him in the future.

I wonder if Mr. Luke has arrived at the barracks?

I wonder if he has any opinions on the Wolf Brigade?

Seeing that Baron Sergey did not answer for a long time, Earl Rammutu thought he was hesitating and considering giving in, so he said, “My lord duke will not take away your weapons in vain. Wealth got it.

You can give the duke a bill, and all the money can be deducted from future taxes. ”

Taxes, aren’t the Celtic Dukes free to collect whatever they want?

If the money is not directly credited, it will be difficult to get it later!

Baron Sergey replied: “Thank you again, Lord Earl. The urban militia is a non-military unit and belongs to the urban security team spontaneously formed by the residents of the Holy Mountain. Therefore, the salary and equipment of the urban militia are not only partly allocated by the city’s finances, but also received by the civil society. donate.

The existing equipment of the Canglang Militia Brigade, except for hundreds of wooden sticks, all other materials come from donations from various parties. I have no right to send or destroy these things without authorization.

If the Duke feels that these weapons and equipment are not suitable for the city militia, please ask the Duke Castle to issue official orders and documents, and I will arrange to return all these donations as soon as possible. ”

Earl Rammutu’s public mission this time is to represent the Duke to participate in the army formation ceremony of the Wolf Brigade. There is no official order to collect the weapons and equipment of the Wolf Brigade.

The Duke hopes that the Wolf Brigade will hand it over voluntarily, instead of issuing an official order from the Duke Castle.

The industrialization of the Tedgar Hills must rely on the human race, and the enthusiasm of the human race must not be too cold.

Rammutu didn’t expect that Baron Sergey would dare to disobey the Duke’s order. He couldn’t help but get angry and said: “Baron! You are very trusted and reused by the Duke. There will be better things waiting for you in the future. Don’t let the Duke My lord questions your loyalty!”

When his loyalty was questioned, Baron Sergey jumped up as if his tail was caught: “My loyalty to the Duke is beyond doubt, and I am always ready to lead the wolf brigade to the forefront of the battlefield, and use my life to take back the land that belongs to the Duke. territory.

My enemy is not the civilians of the holy mountain, but the invading imperial army. For my soldiers to defeat them, they must have weapons equal to theirs, and those weapons take time to learn and train.

Please tell Lord Duke that when he needs the wolf brigade to go to the battlefield, I guarantee that this army will absolutely attack in any direction he points! ”

Baron Sergei spoke impassionedly and righteously, as if he was so loyal that he almost showed it to the Duke of Celtic.

Leaving Earl Rammutu speechless.

“Okay…” Earl Rammutu said helplessly: “I will pass on your thoughts and loyalty to the Duke, and I believe that the Duke also hopes to see the wolf brigade appear on the battlefield against the imperial army as soon as possible. superior.

But I still suggest not to be too ostentatious, don’t let your soldiers wear armor out of the barracks, let alone drive those heavy guys out. ”

This level is over!

Baron Sergey breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately promised: “Please rest assured, Lord Duke, that the Wolf Brigade will never use the weapons used against the imperial army against the civilians of the Holy Mountain.”

Lam Mutu nodded, and then asked: “I heard that you recruited the human Hercules Luke to join your wolf brigade?”

Baron Sergey replied: “Yes, my lord! You know my lord, he doesn’t want the result of the Hercules final held in the Duke’s castle to stimulate the barbarians, so I made a private deal with Luke Hercules.

Taking up the position of Inspector General of the Wolf Brigade is one of the deals.

For this, I also paid him an additional 50 million Reichsmarks. ”

“50 million! That’s a lot!” Rammutu was taken aback by the amount Baron Sergey said: “Do you really need so much money?”

“In order not to irritate the barbarians, and for the smooth progress of the game to satisfy all parties. I think it is very worthwhile to pay this amount of money.

Please rest assured, my lord, the 50 million Reichsmarks will be paid in full by me. I hope my lord can see my loyalty. ”

50 million was too much in Lamutu’s opinion, but since Sergey paid for it, of course he couldn’t say much.

I can only sigh in my heart: the human race is really too rich!

“Yes, the results of the game can’t stimulate the barbarians!”

Was the Celtic Duke afraid of provoking the barbarians?

He is afraid of stimulating the human race!

Baron Sergey, who had already seen through everything, showed an unrecognizable smile, and then extended an invitation to Rammutu: “The formation ceremony of the Wolf Brigade is about to begin. As the special envoy of the Duke, you are our most honored guests.

Please accept the oath of allegiance from the Wolf Brigade on behalf of the Duke! ”
