Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

Because the scene of the heavenly soldiers suppressing the bandits was too shocking and brutal, all the rescued savages had no resistance to going to a new territory.

All the rescued savages boarded a carriage and prepared to go to Gray Collar. Two soldiers in armor were responsible for protecting these people, while the other soldiers escorted the captured bandits back by another route.

One of the soldiers responsible for protecting everyone was the one Laurie called the clerk. On the way, the clerk kept talking to everyone about the various regulations of Gray Collar, and told everyone that from now on all of them were citizens of Gray Collar, all debts were written off, and they were protected by Gray Collar laws.

In fact, the savages were somewhat disgusted with the fact that they suddenly became citizens of a territory, because most of them became savages just to avoid being exploited by their lords, even though the clerk described the Gray Collar as being like the kingdom of God on earth, where even the lords had to abide by the laws he set.

But who would believe it? The lord can change the law whenever he wants. Although the secretary was trying to persuade them, most people still thought that the previous attack on the bandits was just a case of robbery. However, due to the pressure from the other soldier with a face full of flesh beside the secretary and the trust in the secretary, no one thought of running away.

Darcy's focus was not on the new territory they were about to arrive at, but on moving a little in the carriage and coming to the side of the soldier with a face full of flesh.

While the clerk was still preaching about the gray-collar policy, Darcy asked the fierce-looking soldier, "Are you still recruiting in the army?"

The soldier glanced at Darcy, then replied, "Bruno."

Darcy was stunned for a moment, then realized that the other party was introducing himself, and immediately replied: "My name is Darcy."

Bruno nodded and began to answer Darcy's question: "Of course we recruited them, but the Lord has always believed that it is better to have fewer soldiers than to have unqualified ones. We only recruit people with clean backgrounds and who have never done bad things. In addition, our army has many rules. Many people in the first batch of recruits resigned because they couldn't adapt."

Darcy understood, but seemed not to understand.

Aren't soldiers just good at fighting? And how can a soldier resign? In Darcy's impression, soldiers are just bandits with aristocratic backgrounds. Bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like combs. Soldiers may rob more fiercely than bandits. After all, bandits only want to make a quick buck and leave, but soldiers will exploit carefully.

Seeing Darcy's bewildered look, Bruno also took out a booklet from his pocket and pointed at the titles printed on the booklet with his thick dark fingers and said, "If you can accept these, you can come and try it."

"I don't understand. I can't read."

Dulcie shook her head.

Bruno's expression did not change at all. He still had a fierce look on his face. He pointed his finger at the first word in the title and read it word by word: "Three major disciplines, eight points of attention."

Bruno then opened the booklet and began to read its contents.

It seemed that because Bruno had just started to learn to read, he read in pauses. However, since Bruno had read this booklet many times and could recite it by heart, he read more fluently as the book went on.

Darcy stared at the contents in the booklet in amazement. Being able to do all this, he could be called a paladin, right?

It is no exaggeration to say that this character is the standard for becoming a legendary knight of gospel.

Then, Bruno introduced the soldiers' welfare benefits, which made Darcy drool. As the smartest person in the village, Darcy knew how exaggerated the benefits were. No wonder the character requirements were so high. It was too much to go out and rob with such benefits.

Darcy calculated that if she lived frugally, she could support her sister as a soldier and even pay for her medical treatment.

As for the daily training Bruno mentioned, although it was very hard, it was not a problem for Darcy. No matter how hard it was, she didn't have to go out hunting by herself. She also had a stable income and could make military achievements. Until Darcy listened to Bruno's words, "You also have to learn to read."

This made Darcy stand there in a daze. Do you need to know how to read to be a soldier?

But Bruno continued, "It's not mandatory, but you must at least be able to understand the orders. You can't be promoted if you can't read."

In fact, what Bruno said is not the problem. The real problem is the prejudice in people's minds. In this era, being a soldier is never a good choice. It means that you may die in battle at any time and you may never return to your hometown. There is no such thing as glorious discharge in this era. You either die in battle or are abandoned by the army when you can no longer fight.

Not to mention that ordinary soldiers who are not professionals are actually no different in essence from bandits and vagrants, and they all live a precarious life.

But after hesitating for a while, Darcy said, "I want to be a soldier!"

This was an opportunity, an opportunity to stand out. Darcy was keenly aware of the exaggerated equipment of these soldiers, which showed that the lord really valued these soldiers in front of him. The death rate of these soldiers must be very low, and being a soldier might be safer.

"No."

Bruno glanced at Darcy and said, "You are too young. The Lord stipulates that one must be at least sixteen years old to join the army."

"I'm already sixteen, but I'm a little shorter."

After saying that, Darcy showed off the muscles he had developed from long-term hunting.

Bruno stroked his chin and took a closer look at Darcy's body. He said, "Even if you are really an adult, you can't join the army if you just get to be a white-collar worker. You have to accumulate enough work points before you can sign up."

Darcy glanced at the clerk who was explaining the system, and thought about it distressedly. Suddenly, Darcy seemed to have thought of something, and asked Bruno: "Why did your lord want us wild people to become his subjects?"

Bruno actually knew, because before every mission, Lind would emphasize what they were fighting for.

"In order to enrich the population of the territory, the Lord said that the current population of the territory is far from enough, so let us persuade the wild people in the mountains to come down."

"Then why not just issue a bounty to catch the savage?"

Darcy realized that he had asked a stupid question as soon as he blurted it out. How could a lord who could write those precautions and disciplines use such means to expand the population? It is indeed much more convenient to directly issue a bounty order, but 90% of people will use the simplest and crudest method to capture people like those bandits before.

But Bruno simply responded: "The Lord said, just treat it as a training exercise."

"I know a lot of wildling villages. I can lead the Lord to find them. If I can persuade them all to join the Gray and White Collar, can I earn work points?"

Looking at the excited Darcy, Bruno still had that fierce expression, nodded and said, "Of course you can."
