"Wonderful! It was wonderful! I thought I saw His Majesty's guardian knight. '

The Count complimented him, and suddenly asked, "Is Knight Derek married?"

"Eh?"

Derek looked dumbstruck. I thought you were here to compliment me, not to be a matchmaker.

Count Pereira uttered these words on a whim, but he realized at once that he had misspoken.

So he quickly changed the subject: "With this hand, enough to become a thousand commander."

Enough to be a thousand commanders, of course, this is a compliment.

Thousands of long sounds like general, in fact, is already a senior officer.

The whole provisional Second Army of the Northern Province could have ten thousand commanders in total.

In addition to a few officers under the count, some of the barons had to be given official positions in person, or even were themselves officers of nearby cities, and these essentially occupied the posts of commander of the corps.

Then came the military noble children such as Marco, who were also strong in their own strength, generally between hundreds and five hundred.

Under the excitement of the count, it is equivalent to promising the position of the commander, which can be said to be super specification.

It might cause some trouble, but it's more good for Derek than bad.

Even Count Perez himself, in his excitement, felt that he had made a mistake.

He was surprised by what Derek's Cavs did.

Count Perez hurried away, and the review was over.

The final reorganization is coming.

Count Pereira is having final discussions with some of his closest confidants, and to be honest he's having second thoughts.

"For an honorary knight, a commander of thousands is too much, and even five hundred are not enough, otherwise there will be a reproach."

Army rules. Nobles get preferential treatment.

But an honorary knighthood is nothing more than a ten-year-old.

Even if it's a temporary regiment, considering the soldiers Derek brought in, that's a centurion, more than enough to bring his own private army.

Ruthless, but also give you a flag captain's title, you have no place to reason.

Of course, if you are capable and have war achievements, even a civilian can be a centurion or a thousand commander.

It's just that the kingdom of centurions doesn't usually skimp on an honorary knighthood.

So it's only natural that some people object.

Count Pereira is hesitating. He thinks five hundred is not too much.

"I do not think it is necessary to give him a few more men and a title of thousand commander, and to boost morale."

I'm going to fight the barbarians soon, and if I don't show them the benefits, I'm afraid my morale will be low."

Some people think that there is nothing, daughter to buy horse bones, Count Perez is generous, everyone sees hope, but it is a good thing.

After all, if you do well, the Count will reward you on behalf of the kingdom.

When opinions differ, naturally some people want to make peace: "Then give him a 500 long, make up the team."

That seems more to Count Pereira's liking.

But just before the count could make his decision, Cesar suddenly said, "Count, Derek's knight is out of our order, and the Second Army is only temporary for the time being."

Count Pereira immediately understood Cesar's implication that the Second Army of the Northern Province had been formed temporarily by the Governor, and its future was not yet known.

Most likely, after driving out the barbarians, regroup and go straight to war against them.

When it does, it's a reshuffle.

So the weight of the commander may not be so heavy.

However, the temporary army will not abandon the officers if they are converted, and the use of demotion is normal.

Again, not a small advantage.

Derek, on the other hand, is a member of the Pereira Order, born with the markings of a count.

Even if he's relatively independent, he can't get away with it.

It was necessary for the Earl to compete for the position of commander of the official legion, and even for a simple investment to deepen the relationship between them.

Anyway, the left and right are only temporary legions, or the king's generosity.

Take the resources of the kingdom, do their own favors, usually how can this good thing?

Even Count Pereira has only so many political resources, and it is very difficult to recommend a thousand commanders at ordinary times, that is, it has encountered a special period.

What about a temporary political resource, a conditional one at that, sold to Derek?

Count Pereira figured it out, and he signed the appointment papers regardless of Cesar's wishes.

"Tell the boy to do his job and don't embarrass me."

Count Pereira figured it out, and he signed the appointment papers regardless of Cesar's wishes.

"Tell the boy to do his job and don't embarrass me."

Derek knew what Cesar meant, of course, and he did speak for himself.

Maybe it was a passing reference for him, but for Derek it was a change of life.

Thank you for your kindness. That's perfectly normal.

Derek likes such crisp friends, as long as they are willing to speak up for themselves, bring benefits to themselves, and they are willing to give back.

He was even more generous than Cesar had shown, and went straight to the stables to fetch one of only three horses of good quality.

The Northern Warhorse

Quality: Excellent (5/100)

Experience Pool: 0/100

Excellent northern warhorse, excellent endurance and load capacity, good explosive power and speed.

It's an excellent horse that can carry heavy armor, a scarce resource that can't be bought commercially.

"Brother Cesar, I will not say more, thank you for your help."

I have nothing to thank you for. This horse is for you."

Derek went straight for a big brother, even more heroic.

What's the idea of this?

It's basically like giving you a multimillion-dollar car.

Even if Cesar served under Count Perez, he could afford to pay for several years without food or drink, and he had no means of access.

He was immediately stunned.

Derek knows he's nothing compared to the kids of the big boys.

The only thing you can do is create a positive personality.

Know the grace must repay! Bold and generous!

Don't worry about my background. Do you like this kind of stupid friend?

You like it? If you don't like it, then the natural reward will come.

Cesar's mood at this time is like taking a plane, straight into the sky.

He did want to show his gratitude, but he did not think that the return would come so fast, so fierce.

He refused with difficulty, but Derek was more excited than he was.

Even a look that you don't want to look down on me, you don't accept it is with me.

You said the mood is here. Can he say no?

Of course not. Cesar led his horse out of Derek's camp in a daze.

It was not until he was back in the middle of the camp that he came to his senses.

"Derek, Derek.

What a generous fellow, seems to have missed this friend."

In return, he must do something about it.

So that afternoon Derek saw a group of good soldiers report for duty.

As registrar, who knows the composition of the Second Army better than Cesar?

These guys from families of knights or merchants, with no background at all, joined the Second Army with a few carefully selected soldiers.

The background is clean, looks spiritual, at least not crooked melon crack date, and has a certain educational foundation, enough to ensure compliance.

This is definitely the best men and the lowest officers.

Marco is even separated from Derek, who is, after all, the first son of the Ferreira family, and Derek is out there alone, so maybe there is something wrong.

Well, as a friend of Derek's, I'm gonna need to help.

The whole Second Army was thus quickly adjusted, in accordance with the rules and the herald sent by Count Perez.

Derek's pennant is up, and he's been in charge of this thousand team ever since.

He then unashamedly embarked on a radical transformation, retaining one hundred men, the rest of which were shuffled with the new soldiers.

Some knights and merchant soldiers were joined by their own men, and he conferred the post of decanter and even flag captain, as was customary.

However, ten men must insert a captain under the captain of the flag must have ten men is one of their own.

In this way, he was able to master the thousand-man team as soon as possible.

And with a data panel, he believes he'll soon be able to take a closer look at the army.

As a commander with absolute power, it's easy to kill a few people at random.

In the evening, Derek arranged a small dinner, in addition to his own staff, and a large number of junior officers.

Adrian, for example, led an entire team of hundreds, serving as Derek's flag guard.

It can be said that one man wins the way, the rooster and the dog rise to the sky.

For himself, a lifetime of struggle may not have such a chance.

Adrian was even more convinced that he had made the right choice.

One meal can't bring everyone back, but it can also add some understanding.

Derek got to know the new men one by one, and told them bluntly: "The army is not playing house, maybe some people have learned some military knowledge, but they are not enough to handle more responsibilities.

There are many ways to organize armies, command soldiers, and even manage logistics.

I was born a military noble, knight career served in the Order of Peres, I think more experience than you, then what do not understand can ask me, otherwise wait for the battlefield, delay the aircraft, don't blame me for being heartless."

He has a reputation, he has demonstrated his strength in public, he even has background and military experience.

Some of you may not be happy with Derek's appointment as commander, but none of you have the right to be.

Cesar saved him a lot of trouble. These are really good men.

Derek thought the horse was worth it.

The next day, the Second Army trotted out in batches.
