"Why?" Ivan couldn't find anything else to say for a while. "The reason is obvious. Among all the volunteers who came to Demon Castle through Viscount Kewen's channel, your development situation is the best." Naxi glanced at Ivan and nodded slightly enviously: "Maybe the strength is also The strongest. " "But, it is a legion after all" Ai Wen still didn't believe it. A legion must have at least tens of thousands of people. If it is a cannon fodder legion, then this number will go up. Compared with Lionheart's current army of several thousand people, the size of a legion has increased at least ten times. If this news spreads, Ivan will officially serve as deputy in a legion, even if all the troops in Lionheart's territory are disbanded, there will be no more troops. If we further develop our military power, we can sit back and relax. "It is a legion that is being formed." Naxi explained seriously. "According to Viscount Kewen's plan, one of the two deputies will be given to the cronies of Demon God's Castle, and the other will be given to the best of the volunteers, that is, people like you, Viscount Ivan, in order to command the huge number of volunteers. But there is one thing Viscount Covin told me. I must tell you in advance that the position of deputy of the legion will not be fixed. If after a period of time, someone more suitable to be the deputy of the legion appears, then your position will be Will be replaced." After Naxi finished speaking, he shook his head with a wry smile: "Of course, when he said this, Viscount Kewen thought that your strength was still at the fourth level. Now, with your strength as a fifth-level archmage, I'm afraid. Within ten years, there will be no competitor in the legion who can challenge you. "I am also surprised that I have suddenly reached the fifth level. Maybe I will stay at the fifth level from now on, but I welcome any competitor." ." Alvin replied very hypocritically. "So. Did you agree?" Regarding Alvin's answer, Naxi was noncommittal and just asked. "Serving as the deputy of a legion is such an honor. I can't seem to find a reason to refuse it, but if possible, I would like to ask clearly about my rights and obligations first." Ivan said slowly, resisting the urge to agree. Naxi glanced at Alvin appreciatively. He praised: "Viscount Aiwen, you are indeed a talent who can quickly build a foundation. You are still able to calm down under such temptation. It seems that Viscount Kewen really has not found the wrong person." "Baron Naxi, you are too much. You're welcome." Ivan shook his head. "You're not being polite, that's what I said. I must have agreed as soon as I heard the invitation. How could I have considered so much." Naxi shook his head mockingly, then stopped arguing on this issue and explained: "About this Regarding the powers and responsibilities of the position, the first thing I want to talk about is the power. The name of the legion has not yet been determined, but the size has been calculated. After some unqualified candidates have been eliminated, there are still about 80,000 people left. The left and right armies are roughly divided into four parts: the left army, the middle army, the right army and the auxiliary army. " "The four parts are all 20,000 strong" Naxi suddenly stopped and glanced at Ai Wen. Just now he said: "The left army and the right army are in charge of the two deputies of the legion respectively, and the central army and the auxiliary army are personally in charge of Viscount Kewen. In principle, as long as it does not involve rebellion and treason, Viscount Kewen will be responsible for the left and right armies. Hearing this, Ai Wen couldn't help but feel his breathing quicken for a moment. He had 20,000 troops under his control. Even if they were all cannon fodder with only the first level of strength, the temptation was not big. , you know, the number of subjects in many noble territories is not that large. If the troops are pulled over and lined up in a dense row, others will be frightened and surrender without starting a fight. Of course, Ivan knows that this can only be a delusion. Pulling out 20,000 troops and openly besieging the territory of a demon noble is no different from rebelling. As for attacking the territory of a human noble, considering the relationship between humans and demons, In the blood feud between them, fighting to the death may be their only option, and they will not even consider surrendering. "I have finished talking about rights, and what I want to talk about next is obligations." Naxi continued: "Since the legion is still being prepared and established, all kinds of expenses are very huge, so Viscount Kewen hopes that you can sponsor it every month Military expenditure of at least one hundred thousand gold coins" Ivan's brows trembled fiercely. Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world. If you want power, you have to exchange it with money. One hundred thousand gold coins per month, or at least, this price is really not high. Small. "Finally, if important military activities are organized within the legion, you must also participate." "How is this standard judged for important military activities, and I must participate in every important activity?" Ivan frowned. , this request made him a little embarrassed. If someone coveted the position under his butt and clearly wanted to make a pit to trap him, would he also step in? "By the legion"?Or the deputy commander suggested that activities involving more than 10,000 troops be mobilized, which are considered important activities and in principle cannot be missed. However, if you have special circumstances, I believe Viscount Covin will understand. "Naxi followed Kewen around and had a lot of experience. When he saw Alvin's hesitation, he could probably guess what he was thinking, and he quickly said with relief. "However, if Viscount Kewen personally came forward to organize it, Viscount Alvin, you cannot refuse. " "If Viscount Kewen personally comes forward to organize it, of course I will not refuse. "Ai Wen nodded repeatedly. Although he only had a one-time relationship with Viscount Kewen and could not say that he had much trust, but since it was an event organized by him personally, he would naturally show up. If he wanted to trick Ii Wen, he would have to do it himself. There is also the risk of death or serious injury. This possibility is too small. "Viscount Alvin, these are the relevant rights and obligations. If you have no objection, I will take it as your agreement?" "Naxi asked. "Yes, I agreed. "Ivan thought about it carefully. There may be some tricks hidden in Naxi's words, but it shouldn't be a big problem. He finally nodded. "That's good, Viscount Ivan, from now on we will be comrades in the same legion! "Naxi smiled. "Comrade? Not a subordinate? "Ai Wen secretly thought, it seems that Naxi's position in the army will not be too low in the future, maybe he will hold a major position in one of the central army or the auxiliary army, but this is also obvious. Naxi followed Kewen in the vast and infinite underground. After running around in the world for several years, if he didn't get any benefits after coming back, then why should he follow Kewen? Since the matter has been settled, then even if they are a family, Alvin and Naxi will be close. Naxi did not leave immediately, but chatted with Aiwen about many miscellaneous things to let him know. At the end of the conversation, Aiwen couldn't help but mention that when he returned to the territory, he encountered a fire on the way. Although Baron Claw led his troops to intercept the matter, although this matter ended with Baron Fire Claw surrendering, it was based on the premise that Ivan's own strength was beyond expectations. If his strength still stayed at the fourth level, maybe the Lion Heart Leader There will be a riot because of his return. Therefore, Ivan hopes to find out who is hiding behind Baron Fire Claw. Naxi has just opened up a territory nearby. He is far from a local snake. He has very deep connections in the Demon Castle. Although he couldn't answer Aiwen's question for the time being, he agreed to use his connections to investigate the matter. Although he didn't know who was hiding behind Baron Fire Claw, Naxi asked Aiwen. Wen doesn't need to worry too much. Although there are shadows of the old forces in Demon Castle behind Baron Fire Claw, the real old forces in Demon Castle will not deliberately suppress emerging forces, because in their eyes, these emerging forces are not challengers, but have Potential partners or subordinates. Before the arrival of the Holy War, allowing these potential forces to develop freely will be of great benefit to their performance in the Holy War. Only those forces that have never been able to reach the top will do this. The strength of these forces seems to be strong, but they have lost the possibility of progress. Perhaps within a dozen years, Aiwen's Lion Heart Leader will develop even more powerful than them. Although Naxi did not explain clearly why these forces cannot continue. Climbing to the top, they can only maintain their status by suppressing emerging forces, but Ivan can vaguely guess the reason, that is, these forces do not have small worlds or demi-planes, so they have been there. Unable to continuously cultivate powerful professionals, and unable to utilize the resources in the small world or demiplane to maintain its own development, one or several powerful professionals who appeared by chance withered and fell from glory. It can only maintain a status that is neither up nor down. Ivan believes that the facts may be somewhat different from what he guessed, but in general it should be good. The difference between the peak power and the ordinary power should be the half-plane. Therefore, they do not care about the development and growth of emerging forces, precisely because they know that without the help of the demiplane, no matter how strong these emerging forces become, after the leading professionals wither away, there will be no subsequent supply of fresh blood. Falling from the peak. They are not competitors on the same level at all. However, Ivan knows that in his hands, he actually has the weapon to break the boundaries. Soon after, Naxi said goodbye and left. Aiwen sent him to the edge of the territory before returning. After agreeing to Naxi's invitation, Ivan's heart was full of joy. Although twenty years later, when the Holy War officially started, Ivan might not be able to organize an army of 20,000 people and a legion by relying on his own strength. There is not much difference in the strength that the deputy can control, but that was twenty years later, and now??You have to pay some price to be able to obtain such a powerful force in advance, so what's there to worry about? What¡¯s more, the difference between regular legions and local troops is not just in numbers.
