People in the Middle Ages, draw cards to get promoted

One after another, according to their status and status, the courtiers met with Lothar in turn.

Lothar also gave cordial greetings, even though he had never met many people at all, let alone any in-depth friendship.

The harmony between the monarch and his ministers was due to the fact that Lothar did not interfere with their rule, and on the other hand, it also benefited from the spoils he had previously won when he took part of the territory of Sinai.

Once back in Hebron, Lothar felt like he was on stage, and all eyes were on him.

This feeling is actually quite bad, and he has to be tense all the time to respond appropriately.

A banquet has been set up in the tent. During the banquet, wine glasses and dice are intertwined, and the atmosphere is very lively.

Lothar's return is undoubtedly a boost to those who are worried that he will never return.

In the eyes of Lothar's vassals, Lothar, who has a grand reputation and has never been defeated since his debut, is obviously an important guarantee that can bring them victory.

During the dinner, Lothar called Coors over and said, "Coors, order me down, the whole army will have a good meal tonight."

Coors frowned a little, but seeing the smile on Lothar's face, he still said, "Yes."

Right now, the financial situation in Transjordan is not good. To bear the logistics expenses of so many people, it costs money like water every day.

As the chief treasury in charge of the territory's financial power, he knew very well that the Transjordan Border Region was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Lothar nodded slightly to him, and said softly: "Don't worry about money."

Originally Lothar was Jeanna, and Celinina was also cash-strapped after becoming an elite, but when he helped General Nikephoros salvage the ruby, he also searched the ruins of the sunken ship and took the goods on it. After it was sold to a loot shop, it was exchanged for nearly [-] fine-quality Suledes gold coins.

These are dozens of merchant ships full of goods. If most of the goods on them have not decayed and lost their value, otherwise they are worth more than [-] gold coins.

This money, together with Nikephoros' reward, swelled his already empty wallet.

It's just that this amount of money obviously won't last long compared to a [-] army.

Except for the standing army, Lothar's subordinates have no salary at all, and the lower-level vassals obviously do not need to pay them to fulfill their feudal contracts.

But salary is not the main reason for limiting the size of the Holy Land army. To maintain the consumption of horse chews for tens of thousands of soldiers, tens of thousands of horses and carts are needed to transport supplies every month.

This also has to calculate the loss during transportation, because pack animals and peasants will also consume this batch of luggage during the process of transporting luggage. Fortunately, our own side is fighting in the local area after all, and wherever the army goes, it can be supplemented by local supplies. , it will not be difficult.

Baron Argonne suggested at this time: "My lord, I don't know when the war will start. Do you want to have some fun for these energetic lads?"

The "joy" that Baron Argon said naturally did not refer to the camps established with the military caravan, where there were drinks, prostitutes, and merchants who handled the spoils, just like a group of vultures staring at carrion.

Coors didn't allow these people to join the army at all, they were too easy to make the barracks dirty.

You must know that this is Hebron, the seat of Lothar's territory. Once these soldiers make trouble, it will damage the interests of Lothar, the lord.

Lothar readily accepted Argon's suggestion: "Yes, I decided to hold a competitive competition tomorrow, with bow, sword, horse fighting, chess and other events, and the winners will be rewarded."

Blocking is worse than sparse, we have to find some entertainment for these energetic soldiers to put out the fire.

The banquet didn't last long and broke up.

Compared with most of the camps with scattered military discipline, Hebron's camps have many rules, and Lothar doesn't want these lords who are "commanders" to get drunk when he just returns.

In the tent, soon only the core members of Lothar's command remained.

His eyes swept across the faces of Coors, Andreas, Ulm, Ryan, Model, Stark, Fabio and others, and said sincerely: "During this time, everyone has worked hard. "

"Although I'm not in the territory, but Coors told me about your performance, I'm very pleased."

He gave a few compliments, and then said: "Coors, from today onwards, you will still be the head of the holy treasury, in charge of all the financial power in the territory, and concurrently serve as the first consul of Hebron."

"Andreas, you have made great achievements in Alandele. I appoint you as the first consul of the port of Ayla, and Muller of the General Tax Administration will assist you to govern the entire port of Ayla."

"Ulm, starting today, I will order you to form a circuit court. While retaining your duties as a border inspector, you will also serve as the chief judge of the Transjordan Border Region and accept complaints from the citizens in my name."

"Lane..."

A series of appointments were issued in no time.

Coors has managed Transjordan in an orderly manner, and he doesn't need to make too many drastic changes, and it's not the right time right now. After this battle is over, he will carry out centralized reforms with the prestige of his victory.

As for losing.

Whether he can keep his territory is another matter, and naturally there is no need to think about centralization of power.

By the campfire outside the tent.

Durham couldn't wait to take the food he had brought, and sat down. The warm firelight illuminated the food on the dinner plate, which was quite ample—a few slices of white bread, stewed mutton with peas, boiled vegetable leaves and oats. Thick porridge, a bottle of wine for several people.
It was the best meal they had eaten in days.

"Tsk, isn't this bread coated with honey, so it's actually sweet?"

"I didn't expect him to be the Marquis."

"If we could have won his appreciation at that time, maybe we would have directly become Master Knights."

"At least I don't have to work so hard every day like I do now."

Durham chewed on the bread, and said vaguely: "This is hard work, it's better than being cannon fodder for that guy Rauf. I can see that the Marquis is really good to us."

"Yeah, just this dinner, I don't know how much it will cost. If it were me, I would definitely save it for myself."

"Work hard. This time I will try to bring everyone some credit. Even if they don't get knighted, at least everyone will get some land and coins so that they can go home and marry a wife."

Durham and the others looked at each other and smiled.

What is the biggest difference between living in Transjordan and before?
It's not that you don't work hard, but that after hard work, you can see hope.

It's not like before, when they worked hard to graze the herd for a whole year, they still had to worry about it, lest Rauf suddenly send someone to snatch their herd away.

...

Return to the mansion in Hebron.

After Lothar washed up briefly, Joanna asked casually: "By the way, should my lord draw cards again today?"

"Don't worry, I will set up the barracks of Tiefutu with me later. If the war does not break out in a hurry, I can still train a squad of heavy cavalry."

Hundreds of heavy cavalry can play a pivotal role in a war.

His current heavy cavalry includes 125 hussars, 125 imperial knights, and 125 armored cavalry.

Counting the order knights of the Knights, thousands of cavalry can be gathered, and it is up to them to win this battle.

His recent card draws are more Buddhist, without him, the probability of shipment is getting lower and lower.

It's always a bunch of odds and ends, "delicate saddles," "gorgeous silk blouses," "purple lace panties."

To say it's useless, it's really useful.

For example, the exquisite saddle is quite comfortable to sit on, and you will not feel too tired after riding a horse for a whole day; the silk underwear has both heat insulation and warmth, and is soft and close-fitting. Lace panties... Prajna is also very eye-catching after wearing it.

As we all know, a man has two heads, and the two heads do not belong to each other.

But sometimes, the little head can command the big head. His biggest thought now is to quickly settle the matter at hand, go back to the room and sleep with Banruo, and let's talk about it tomorrow if there is anything else.

...

After setting up the camp of the Iron Buddha with Rangna, Lothar returned to the mansion with satisfaction after seeing the job transfer quota that had begun to accumulate, ready to draw a card.

I saw a burst of intense purple light flickering.

The system beeps:

You have gained a new epic squire - the bloodthirsty wolf.

Your milestone (Dark Tyrant) progress increased to (7/10).

finally come!

Lothar was slightly happy.

After he completed the combat record of the Wolf Clan Civil War, he was temporarily given the status of a "Texas Ally". After the next ten card draws, the probability of gaining the allegiance of the Texas Wolf Clan increased significantly.

Judging by the nickname of "Bloodthirsty Wolf" and the five-star quality, it is obvious that he is a powerful servant at the centurion level.

Amidst the surging purple light, a tall and strong man slowly appeared. He was wearing a very simple training suit, his shirt was filled to the brim with his muscular muscles, and his eyes were full of arrogance.

"who are you?"

Celinina's expression was full of doubts. The bloody aura of the person in front of her felt familiar to her, but it was definitely not someone she had ever seen.

The man looked arrogant: "Master is the bloodthirsty wolf of Basilicata, haven't you heard my name?"

"Bloodthirsty wolf... sounds familiar."

Celinina was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "It's really a bad thing."

Lothar frowned slightly: "You remember?"

Celinina sighed lightly: "He is indeed a member of our family."

"Hey, don't leave your family, I've never seen you before, don't think you have Basilicata blood, you're a member of the family, little bastard."

The man's expression was unruly, and his tone was full of the arrogance of a pure-blooded family.

Lothar frowned and said, "Pay attention to your words, rookie."

The unruly man then lowered his head and said bluntly, "Sorry, my lord."

After apologizing, he quickly raised his head and explained, "My lord, I didn't mean to offend. It's really hard for me to accept that there are half-wolves in my family who intermarried with humans. This is not in line with our tradition."

"It's really not traditional, Grandpa."

Cellinina's expression was complicated.

In her eyes, Lothar saw a mockery that she had never seen before.

Like watching an old general on a stage with flags planted behind his back.

"What grandpa? Don't mess around with your relatives!"

The bloodthirsty wolf snorted softly.

"But it's a pity that intermarriage with humans started with you... For this reason, you almost started a civil war among the wolves."

Celina continued.

Sorry, Calvin, organize your thoughts and update normally tomorrow.
