The Knight's Journey to the Empire

Outside the town of Flanders, still in that open space, many residents gathered again.

A large group of people braved the cold wind, some were talking loudly, some were whispering, and some were standing quietly.

They are all waiting!

It turned out that two days ago, the Civil Servant Adam announced at a public meeting for all citizens that the territory guard needed to recruit new members.

This news spread like wildfire in White Bear Territory!

Now it can be said that it has become a household name known to everyone.

Those residents who met the recruitment requirements rushed to Flanders Town from various villages in the White Bear Territory early in the morning, ready to try their luck.

Of course, many people will apply for the servant recruitment activity at the Baron's mansion.

But in comparison, the chances of being successfully recruited into the territory guard team are higher here!

After all, they had all heard that the recruitment of servants in the Baron's mansion was based on appearance!

They are a group of rough men who have been working hard in the fields and struggling to survive since childhood.

So I still have some self-awareness about my appearance!

……

"Hey, did you hear that?"

"What did you hear?"

"I heard that the Territory Guard is recruiting new members today. The honorable Knight Ramos has specially set up several assessment items?"

"Oh, then do you know what the assessment content is?"

"Uh! Well, I don't know either!"

"What the hell did you hear? You piqued my interest, and now you suddenly gave me a huge shit!"

"I'm just asking you if you've heard it. Who knows? You don't even know it!"

"Get out of here! What the hell is that? Be careful or I'll beat you to death!"

"Hey, what's going on?"

"Hmm! Wait, I remember now! You were the one who asked me the same question during the last meeting, right? And it's you again this time! I'm wondering if you're just too bored to be making fun of me!"

"No, brother, I dare not, it's not true..."

………………

"Hey, brother, you are here too!"

"Ha~, long time no see, brother!"

"Hey, what's up? Are you here to participate in the recruitment of the Lord's Guard?"

"Well, can't I come?"

"Oh~, I heard that the Territory Guard is now only recruiting adults between the ages of 18 and 25. Brother, you must be at least 26!"

"Pah! How is that possible? I just turned 25 this year!"

"Oh~, really? I remember your 25th birthday was just a few days ago!"

"Hey, bullshit, you remembered it wrong, I haven't even celebrated my birthday this year!"

……

Three or four hundred subjects gathered together, discussing in a bustling atmosphere, chattering, humming and humming... The scene was in chaos!

The focus of their discussion was naturally the recruitment activity for new members held by the Lord's Guard.

The status of the Lord's Guard is the lord's private army of nobles.

Joining the Lord's Guard is equivalent to having a stable job, eating public food, and receiving a salary of three silver coins every month!

Oh my God! What a magical job this is! Thank you, kind and benevolent Lord!

Many of the subjects sighed silently in their hearts!

Allen was also standing in the crowd. He was wearing thin clothes, his whole body was tense, and he squeezed into the crowd carefully.

Because only in this way, you won’t feel so cold!

He listened to the discussions among the people around him, but he was not as happy as he had imagined.

He pursed his lips tightly at this moment, and looked around from time to time, as if he was avoiding something, or wanted to hide something!

..............................

"Everyone, today's recruitment activity for the Territory Guard has three assessment contents: the first is to register your information; the second is to lift a stone ball to test your strength; the third is to run to test your endurance!"

"Now, those who want to take the test, please go to the clerk over there and queue up to register your information. As for other unimportant people, please leave this area and watch from the surrounding areas. Do not interfere with the progress of our test, otherwise you will bear the consequences at your own risk!"

Henry was also standing on the platform where Corbett was hanged, holding the trumpet borrowed from Adam and shouting loudly to the crowd around him.

The crowd around immediately split into two groups, most of whom walked towards the clerk's registration office over there, then lined up silently to prepare to register their information.

This large group of people is estimated to be more than two hundred people.

They behaved very well and in an orderly manner, queued up calmly and waited patiently!

Cutting in line, disrupting order...who dares?

If you are expelled and lose the opportunity for assessment, and lose this iron rice bowl, you will have no place to cry!

"Ramos, there are a lot of people here. I have seen several good prospects!" Henry walked down from the platform and said to Ramos with emotion.

Behind the clerk was a makeshift shed where Ramos sat to rest and watched the recruitment process in detail.

"Indeed, with nearly 300 people taking part in the assessment and a one-fifth chance of competition, this should be able to select quite a few good talents!" Ramos said happily.

He is the military officer of the territory, and he has full command over the territory guard.

The more reserve soldiers this territory guard has and the better the quality of the soldiers, the stronger its overall strength will be.

If he trains the territory guard well, not only will he have face, but he will also live up to the young master's trust!

"How have you prepared the military supply list for purchasing armed equipment? The territory guard has already started recruiting soldiers. Don't let them be left with nothing when the training begins!" Henry was very concerned about this matter.

After all, he was also the adjutant of the military affairs officer appointed by the young master, and in the second discussion meeting later, the young master had assigned him the duties of the quartermaster, making him responsible for the specific tasks such as the storage, maintenance and distribution of weapons and equipment in the territory.

So he has to hurry up on this matter!

"I submitted the list and documents yesterday, and Master Adam agreed. As for Brother Javier, I think the purchase funds will be approved today!"

"But Master Adam also said that there are a lot of complicated affairs in the territory these days, and there is a serious shortage of manpower, so it will take at least three days to send people to the city to place orders!" Ramos explained patiently, because this is something he is also very concerned about.

How can a soldier without weapons and equipment be called a good soldier?

Then we can only call them bandits!

"Alas, this is the only way!" Henry sighed helplessly.

This time they are purchasing military supplies and the quantity they need is quite large, so they need to place an order and pay a deposit first before the store can reserve materials and start production.

So from this point of view, it will take at least ten days for these new recruits to put on new equipment and use new weapons!
