- Chapter 17: Collecting Prisoners
"Are these prisoners satisfied with their lunch?" Lin Fenghan tiredly stepped out of the carriage and asked Coland next to him.
Knight Captain Corland shrank his head back in fear and whispered: "The prisoners were very pessimistic when they saw the sumptuous lunch. They cried and made a fuss after eating it, and some went crazy and made trouble, so I locked them up. "
"What?" Lin Fenghan opened his mouth in surprise and asked angrily: "What's going on? Is the food you cooked not delicious? Or are they tired of living and dare to go against us in the prisoner camp!"
"Did Carufo ransom all the officers in the captured army? Did any officers cause trouble?"
"Baron!" Colander said hesitantly: "No one understands what you mean. Those prisoners thought we were going to kill them, so they were very scared."
"Sir Caruffo ransomed everyone in the army who had noble blood and connections, but there are still some civilian officers who have not been ransomed."
"Oh!" Lin Fenghan frowned and closed his eyes, scolding softly: "I was negligent. I was going to surrender them, so how could I kill them?"
"Starting now, hand over all the remaining officers, from squad captains to squadron leaders and centurions, to Karufo for free. I don't want these prestigious and capable troublemakers to appear in the prisoner camp."
Corland said unwillingly: "But Baron, the remaining officers total more than sixty people! Isn't it too much of a loss for us to give them to them for free? You must know that these officers will definitely help Bran after they return." If we don't want to serve the Duke, we might as well kill them or sell them to other countries or imprison them forever, otherwise they will be the main force against us in the next war."
"What you said makes sense. Call the remaining officers into the conference room now! I want to see their performance before making a decision." Lin Fenghan walked around hesitantly and said seriously.
"Okay! Go and call those officers into the conference room!" Corland worriedly ordered the guards around him.
"yes!"
===================Separating line====================
In the large open-air courtyard, after a while, the civilians and noble officers who were captured in the war saw Lin Fenghan sitting in the middle of the front desk, and they all showed mixed expressions of sadness, anger, hatred, and fear.
"Gentlemen, it seems that you are all here. Now I will give each of us a multiple-choice question. This question is very important. I hope you can take it seriously." At Colander's prompt, Lin Fenghan stood up calmly. , said quietly to the officers in the sixth row of the battle line.
"What multiple choice question?"
"Don't we have to die?"
¡ All the officers, big and small, bowed their heads and whispered to each other with happy faces.
"Gentlemen, I prepared a sumptuous lunch at noon today mainly to recruit you. Unfortunately, my subordinates and you did not understand what I meant. I apologize for the great trouble it has caused you." Lin Fenghan said sincerely. Waist, then stood up and said seriously.
"I am very sorry that Sir Carufo did not ransom you. Just now I wanted to release you unconditionally and hand you over to Sir Carufo to take a boat home with them. Unfortunately, my subordinate's reminder made me very distressed."
"If I let you go back and you continue to fight against me, I will pay unnecessary losses in future battles. My knight suggested that I execute you directly, or sell you to other countries and imprison you in minerals for life. I I am very hesitant and don't know how to deal with it. I decided to put the opportunity to decide your fate into your hands. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer." Lin Fenghan said seriously as he looked at the officers with different expressions.
"What?"
"No, no, no! I don't want to die!"
"Baron Yiliuyun, I swear I will never fight against you in this life. Can you let me go?" During the discussion, a middle-aged officer with a sad face came out hesitantly and said tremblingly.
"Okay! Come here, give him 2 silver coins for travel expenses, and let him leave immediately, including his personal luggage and belongings." Lin Fenghan nodded seriously and waved his hand.
"Baron Yiliuyun, I swear I will never go against you again. I will stop being a soldier and concentrate on going home to be a blacksmith. Please let me go!"
"Baron Yiliuyun, I swear to God that I will never fight you again. Please let me go!"
"Baron Yiliuyun, I swear to my ancestors that I will never go against you again. Please let me go!"
"Baron Yiliuyun, I swear to my wife and children that I will never go against you. Please let me go!"
¡°Okay!¡±
"Can!"
"Everyone who has sworn will be given 2 silver coins for travel expenses and will be released immediately!"
¡¡
After a while, everyone in the yard had left, leaving only two young men in their twenties.
"Why don't you two swear an oath?" Lin Fenghan rubbed his eyes tiredly, looking at the two people not far apart in age from him in the empty yard, he couldn't help but ask differently.
"Your Excellency Baron, we are two orphans. Although we have been in the army for more than five years, we two brothers admire the Baron's bravery and kindness very much and decided to serve for Your Excellency Baron." Slightly older, burly, with short hair, The young man with a determined look bowed his head and said.
"Oh? An orphan can achieve the positions of squad leader and squadron leader. It seems that you two are indeed very talented. I accept your allegiance." Lin Fenghan stood up happily and said in surprise.
"By the way, what are your names?"
"My name is Rana, and this is my brother Rafa." The burly Rana pointed to Rafa, who was slightly thinner and had a similar complexion to him.
"Very good, I'm very happy. You two can come to my side first and be a adjutant of the guard, responsible for conveying orders, records, and staff."
"Baron, the origins of these two are unknown and cannot be reused. I suggest you investigate their identities first. Also, I think 90% of those officers will break their promises and go against you. You let go so easily. It's really not a wise plan to kill them!" Ke Lande looked at the two young men with a wary expression, and gently ran to Lin Fenghan's ear and said.
At this time, Lana took a step forward with a determined expression and said to Lin Fenghan: "Baron, I know that we two have low status and unknown origins. We are willing to start from small soldiers to prove our determination to you."
"Okay! I now have an army of 1,800 people. Nearly 50% of the men in the entire territory are serving as soldiers. An army of this size cannot be maintained for long, and there is a shortage of officers. I decided to establish the Elant Army Academy , you will come with me to train the army in a week and give guidance and train officers! Now you two can live here first, Vera, and arrange a dormitory for them two." Lin Fenghan followed Corland's suggestion and dismissed the invitation Their idea of ??being adjutants promoted them to the position of academy coach.
"The officer's affairs are finally over. Now it's time to solve the problem of captured soldiers. Coland, how many ordinary infantry are left now?"
"Baron, there are less than 900 people left." Corland said carefully. "
"900 people? 900+1800=2700. Have the prisoners been assembled?" Lin Fenghan asked softly after calculating carefully.
Keland looked up at the sky and said speechlessly: "Baron, they had already started gathering when you first arrived, but now they are all basking in the sun on the school grounds?"
"Well! It seems that they are almost done with the sun. They must be more compliant now. Let's go! Let's go to the reviewing stand at the school ground." Lin Fenghan looked at the scorching sun and said humbly.
With the scorching sun in the sky, nearly 900 people sat on the ground sighing and complaining, cursing Lin Fenghan, Sir Carufo, Duke Brant, the sun in the sky, and everything that hurt them were painfully cursed by them.
"gather!"
"gather!"
"Everyone assemble!"
"Everyone, stand up for me."
"The Baron is here!"
Under the threat of whips and swords, the prisoners fought together reluctantly.
"Hello, soldiers! I am Baron Elantra, who leads the people towards fairness, democracy, and freedom. I am happy to see you here." Lin Fenghan looked at the prisoners who looked uncomfortable and said loudly.
"Now that the war between me and Brant has ended briefly, and you unfortunately stayed here and became prisoners, you are now faced with a fate-determining choice. First, I will follow Duke Brant to the end and release him from the mine. Wait until I will release you when our battle is over; second, fight with Elant and spread the seeds of fairness, justice, and freedom to the whole world."
"Everyone who chooses the second option can directly receive a gold coin bonus, and your salary will be paid according to the standards of Elantra warriors. If you choose the second option, I will not embarrass you, and you will also be rewarded with being a miner. salary."
"Baron, I choose the second option. Give me water quickly! I'm going to die of thirst."
"Baron, I also choose the second option."
"Me too!"
¡The captured soldiers who heard this raised their hands and shouted:??
"Don't make any noise now. Those who choose the second option and follow me sit down immediately. Those who choose the first option please line up in front." Lin Fenghan waved with a smile on his lips.
Nearly a thousand people heard the message slowly, and soon they all sat down, but there were still more than 10 people who walked towards Lin Fenghan with firm faces and lined up in front of him.
"Aren't you afraid of death? Why don't you choose to sit down and accept my dispatch like them? Do you know that what you have to face may be life imprisonment!" Lin Fenghan stood up seriously and looked at more than a dozen people with full faces. The veteran of Yanchen asked seriously.
"Baron, Duke Brant treats us well. I have served as a soldier under him for more than ten years. I really don't want to go against him, and I don't want to deceive you. I surrender now. You will deliberately cause trouble during the war and fail to do your job." , I can't do such a thing, I would rather work as a miner for the rest of my life than do something against my will." A tall man with a beard, two meters tall and covered with scars said honestly.
"That's you, then how many of you are there?" Lin Fenghan asked, looking at the dozen or so people in shock.
"The same goes for us! We don't want to be a villain." More than a dozen big men roared with determination.
"Keland, do you see, this is the real loyal and brave man!" Lin Fenghan walked in shock, pointed at a group of subordinates, and said to more than ten people.
"What's your name?" Lin Fenghan suddenly pointed at the scarred man at the head and asked.
"Luo Qing!"
"Very good! Luo Qing, I understand your thoughts. I can swear that I will never let you do anything against Duke Brant, but now I can't let you leave, and I don't want you to go to the mine. I have decided Would you be willing to hire you as coaches at the newly established Elantra Army Academy?"
"Okay!" Luo Qing and more than a dozen of his friends looked at each other and agreed.
"Luo Qing, and you, I would like to ask one last question, why are you so brave, but you are still a soldier now?" Lin Fenghan looked at Luo Qing and others, and suddenly asked a sharp question.
"Baron, it's not like Brother Luo Qing offended the nobles because he reported the noble generals for deducting military pay. Otherwise, with Brother Luo Qing's ability, it would be possible for him to serve as a centurion or a general of thousands." The veteran beside Luo Qing said straightforwardly. .
"Really? I understand. There will never be any deprivation of military pay, cheating, laziness, or nobles oppressing civilians here. You can rest assured." Lin Fenghan nodded seriously and said seriously.
"These two are young officers Rana and Rafa. You two know each other. Like you, they will be new Army Academy officers. I hope you can cooperate well." Lin Fenghan smiled slightly and greeted Rana and the two. wave.
"Brother Luo Qing, we meet again." Lana smiled slightly and appeared in front of Luo Qing.
"So it's you, kid. I haven't seen you for a week, so I thought you were dead? It made me sad for a few days." Luo Qing watched Lana appear, happily patted Lana on the shoulder, and laughed.
"Rana, Luo Qing, I now ennoble you two as centurions, responsible for reorganizing the prisoner group. The remaining brothers are temporarily squad leaders."
"Keland. You immediately arrange positions and accommodation for them. I will go back to plan the construction of the military camp, army supplies and other matters." Lin Fenghan smiled slightly and slowly walked out of the military camp.
"Baron, good-bye!"
