When the first ray of sunlight breaks through the sky at dawn, the morning dusk slowly recedes under the gradually recovering light. The earth is waking up, and the towns are also regaining their vitality. Shops open their doors, and housewives open their windows, letting the cold and fresh air of the morning wash away the dull air in the house that has been dull for three nights. Because of the festival, Nolan Ji has not had many guests recently, so Cynthia got up early early, washed up a little, took off the bar door stopper, and opened the wooden bar door. Facing the cool air that hit her face, the proprietress, who could no longer be called a girl but was still very graceful, stretched herself vigorously and shouted cheerfully: "Very good! Today is a good weather too!" " Humming a tune softly, Cynthia walked back into the house, but happened to see the mute guy coming down from the attic. To this cohabitant who had just moved in recently, Cynthia greeted him cheerfully: "Good morning, Potts." To Cynthia's greeting, the mute man with only one eye just nodded silently. . I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s because of the recent relaxed work, but the guy Cynthia picked up casually slept much more peacefully. Without the ghost crying and wolf howling day and night, Cynthia found him a lot more pleasing to the eye, at least he was not as angry all day long as before. "Women, for the sake of your skin, you can't be too angry Make sure you sleep and be in a good mood." Cynthia muttered secretly in her heart, covered her face and made a wild statement in the direction of the Duke's Palace, and then hummed I went to the kitchen to cook while singing. For Cynthia, Nolanji is her home. Although some cooks and waiters would be hired to help when they were busy, before picking Potts back, she was the only one living in the bar. "Today is the Mutin Festival. Let's cook something delicious. We have to go out on the street soon. If we don't eat enough, we will be hungry again at noon." Cynthia was busy in the kitchen while talking to herself. But Lamberts knew very well that Miss Cynthia's words were actually meant to him. Giving Cynthia a complicated look, Lamberts walked around to the door and took a look. For some reason, starting from the three-day eve of the Mutin Festival, all the monitors he could detect suddenly withdrew. But he didn't dare to take it lightly - if it weren't for Wazilu's reminder, he would not have realized that there were truths such as the Black Knight around him after losing his holy power. To be honest, Wazilu¡¯s words made him feel gloomy, but he didn¡¯t intend to believe them all. Katerina, the lord of Wazilu? Duke Silaf and his father, Bishop Leobert, were political enemies within the church. He did not believe that the woman who gave him travel expenses and told him about Cynthia's background was out of pure kindness. "Huh? Potts, what are you looking at?" Cynthia asked from inside the house. Lamberts turned back calmly and shook his head as if nothing had happened. "Is it nothing? Then let's eat quickly. Cheese, ham, poached eggs, milk, butter and wine. Today's breakfast is as rich as a festival~" As if singing, Cynthia sang the words with a beautiful voice, which made her laugh. I feel a little ridiculously good today. Looking at her charming and innocent look, Lamberts sat down silently. At this point, he can't figure out why he continues to stay here. Catalina may have bad intentions, but the gold coins Wazilu gave him are real. Three days ago, he could sit down at any time. The aerostat left, but he stayed. He asked nothing about Cynthia's relationship with his enemy. As for Cynthia's curiosity about Wazilu, he simply answered with a note. It was a wealthy businessman he met on the way to the trading house to purchase goods. He casually helped him carry the goods on the carriage that suddenly broke down. Unexpectedly, the other party would actually come to thank me. Lamberts has dedicated nearly thirty years of his life to the gods. He once believed that serving the gods he had found the meaning of all life. But now, he suddenly realized that he couldn't figure out what this gentle, but slightly hot thing that emerged from his heart at this time was, just like the milk in the spoon in his mouth. The rich soup, with its rich aroma and heat, permeates the heart and spleen. This feeling is so different from his belief in the gods, but it is so similar. It also has the clean charm that makes him subconsciously give up all thinking and just protect for the sake of protection, and believe for the sake of belief. . Before the first wake-up call sounded from outside the barracks, Emerson had been lying on the bed for a long time with his eyes open. The excellent biological clock made him wake up a few minutes before the horn sounded, but because he was afraid of waking up other people in the same barracks, he stayed in bed without shaking. AndAs soon as the horn rang, he sat up almost instantly, and then he was stunned to see that Bernie, who was sleeping on his bed, had jumped down - his uniform was already fully dressed. "I'll go! Bernie, didn't you take off your clothes when you went to bed?!" Carter, who was facing the bed, shouted out the doubts in Emerson's heart. While looking for boots on the ground, Bernie denied: "How is that possible! I just hung my uniform on the bed last night, woke up ten minutes early, and put it on under the covers." "You're not afraid either. Make wrinkles." Carter said this, but he was already convinced in his heart - this boy is indeed more active than anyone else! By the time Emerson and others put on their uniforms and ran out of the barracks to line up with their newly maintained Black Kudzu muskets, Bernie had already been standing on the playground for almost three minutes. "What are you busy with! Why don't I see you all so active in normal times? Today's pictures are so useful! Put on your uniforms! Tuck your shirts! I have fixed the marching belt and water bottle! Check each other! I Todd, no matter if today is the first day of the Mutin Festival or some other shitty holiday, I only know that today is the day of the official military parade. I have been training for so long, all for today! He always loses control and sees how I can deal with him when I come back!" As soon as Emerson stood still next to Bernie, he heard the loud voice of Captain Todd shouting dozens of meters away. He was the temporary captain of the mixed squadron that Emerson was in. , and is also the leader of the phalanx. It is said that he was a gangster in the past, and after six years in the New Model Army, he still had the gangster spirit in his bones. When he was training people, he would use swear words from time to time. Everyone was afraid of him except Military Military Officer Li Wei. "Okay, Captain Todd." Emerson had just thought of Levi when the short military officer's voice rang out, "Today is no different than usual. The formal military parade takes a lot longer than usual training evenings. Everyone has enough time." I have time to check my appearance. Just be careful not to forget anything. Now I am more relaxed. When I go back to the parade outside the city, I have been stretched all day. At that time, I can concentrate on it and give me 200% of my energy. ! The Grand Duke and other nobles will be present at the military parade, and the guys from the Nanling Army will also come. Please cheer up and don¡¯t lose the people of the New Model Army in front of those ruffians! ? ¡± ¡°Understood!¡± Emerson and Bernie shouted randomly in the middle of the square. However, they lowered their heads and discussed with the people nearby: "Those people from the Nanling Army? Li Weixian was talking about those guys from the Chengwei Army?" "How is it possible? You have forgotten the Splittooth Dragon and the Earth that you saw when you were a child. Are you ready? And those unicorn knights? "Kart is the last person to see it. He is different from Emerson and Bernie. Carter originally wanted to be a soldier, but unfortunately he didn't. How many swordsmanship talents were rejected in the first round of the trial training organized by the Imperial Army, and later they retreated and entered the New Model Army, which has lower selection requirements. Because he likes military affairs, Carter knows a lot about the empire's military system and legion numbers. Facing the curious gazes of others, he said with some pride: "In Feldnan? Duke Ian became the Grand Duke. In the past thirty years since then, the empire's army in Nanling has numbered as many as 200,000 at its peak. The number of sword and shield corps, spear corps, and archer corps with average warriors above junior level alone has reached 150,000. . However, due to the peace negotiations with the Nanling Kingdom, the 150,000 regular troops were later reduced year by year. Except for a few particularly famous standing armies such as Chixiao and Zhanbian Corps, they were replaced by the self-organized troops of nobles at all levels. Raise troops, and the New Model Army. ""Speaking of which, the proposal to reduce the size of the Nanling Standing Army was originally proposed by the Nanling nobles themselves." Carter suddenly sneered when he said this, "The Hundred Years' War in Nanling has made The Nanling army is all in the hands of the Grand Duke, so almost every opportunity, the Nanling nobles will pounce on them like evil ghosts, trying to divide the military power. " "Don't talk about this mess, let's talk about the Dragon Knight. "Seeing that Carter was about to talk again, someone next to him suddenly pushed him impatiently. "Tsk, if you don't understand this, how do you understand the origins of our New Model Army and the Nanling Army." Carter was still unwilling to give up. It wasn't until the others tried to fight that he hurriedly stopped and continued to talk, "Okay. Okay! That¡¯s it! You loveless guys!¡± ¡°In addition to the 150,000 regular legions, the Nanling Imperial Regiment also has three regular knights with titles. There are 1,000 knights and 3,000 squire knights. In addition to these 12,000 knights, there are also 5,000 saber light cavalry, 3,000 imperial mages, and 2,000 magic engineers. Shangnanling Sword SoldiersThere are 6,000 heavy infantry in the army, and 4,000 elite swordsmen at the intermediate level and above. The total number of elite corps is 32,000 - about the same size as our New Model Army. " "Isn't this right? "At this moment, someone next to me suddenly asked, "There are only 32,000 people. Didn't you say there are 50,000? ". "I haven't finished what I said" Carter glanced sideways at the other party, "The remaining 18,000 people, in addition to the baggage and civilian logistics personnel of some elite troops, there are also 3,000 Bauhinia. The 3,200-strong Nanling Grand Duke, including 1,000 white crows and 100 black roses, is directly under the direct control of the selected troops. In addition to half of Bai Qiangwei's city army, which is 3,000 people, the remaining 10,000 people are all private troops of Nanling nobles like Bauhinia and White Crow - " "Nanling nobles big and small There were nearly 300 people, noble children from various families who came to compete in military merit, and their qualifications plus their attendant knights and guards, there were almost that many people. ¡± Kalter concluded at the end.
