People in the Middle Ages, draw cards to get promoted

Fringilla crossed her legs and sat on a bench in the garden: "To be honest, I'm quite curious, your grandpa... a pure-blood guy who opened and shut his mouth, how did he change later?"

Celinina was silent for a moment, then shook her head: "I don't know, maybe it's because of love."

"Just him?"

"I've seen portraits of grandma when she was young. She is indeed very beautiful. She should be as gentle as my mother."

Celinina's eyes were a little warm, because the wolves had a long lifespan, so she had never met her grandma, but when her father mentioned her, there was always a beautiful longing in his eyes, which was exactly what she longed for.

Fringila agreed: "That's right, if your grandma wasn't pretty, our Nina wouldn't be so pretty just because of your grandpa's looks."

Celinina smiled and said: "Grandpa is actually a very stubborn person. There has been intermarriage between the wolf tribe and ordinary people for a long time, but it has not been recognized by the family."

"If he hadn't insisted on staying with grandma in a legitimate way, there wouldn't be such a big disturbance."

Fringira asked curiously, "What happened in the end?"

Celinina sighed softly: "The wolf lord has compromised, and the wolf council no longer opposes intermarriage between wolves and ordinary people—at least on the surface. This may be why my father thinks he will still compromise. "

"That changed my opinion of him a bit."

"No need, this doesn't change the fact that my grandpa is still a bastard at his age."

Celinina sighed lightly: "Although I don't want to admit my relationship with him, Flynn, I still hope you don't have any prejudice against him. Although he hates dogs, he is not a bad person after all."

...

In the dimly lit military camp, Lothar, who had returned from patrolling the camp, sat down on a chair tiredly. It was by no means an easy task to travel by boat for several days. Even if he didn't feel too tired physically, the mental load was still heavy.

He looked at Andreas, who was pale but obviously energetic, and asked, "Andreas?"

"grown ups."

He raised his head and met Lothar's eyes with some doubts.

"Don't you regret it?"

Andreas immediately realized what Lothar wanted to say, lowered his head, and said, "I don't regret it, it's my honor to serve you better."

He paused, and added as if convincing himself: "Long life, strong body, no troubles from diseases. The price is nothing more than drinking a bottle of blood every once in a while, as Mr. Coors said Yes, it is the dream of many kings."

But not Baldwin IV.

Lothar added silently from the bottom of his heart, saying: "It's good that you don't regret it. For the next period of time, Transjordan will depend on you. The defense of Baron Tih's logistics and supply is the most important thing."

Barony Tih is the border between Lothar's territory and Adil's Egypt. Although there is a vast desert as a natural barrier, it is difficult for large troops to pass through, but there is a precedent that Adil led thousands of cavalry to approach. It is not allowed that he will come a second time.

There is no need to mention Ella Port, because Captain Hogg guards it.

"Sir, what if the enemy attacks Jerusalem along the coastline of the Sinai Peninsula?"

"You don't need to worry about it. After we left, Transjordan was too empty. Even if the rest of the area was attacked by the enemy, we would not be able to support it. Don't worry, the front-line fortress in the Sinai Peninsula is very strong, and it will be difficult for the enemy to break through for a while."

"By the way, my lord has something else to do."

Andreas told Lothar that someone who claimed to be the confidant of "Cardinal Sebastian" wanted to lease New Habsburg to build a monastery.

"I've heard about this. After being rejected by you, they still haven't given up. At the court meeting in Jerusalem, they proposed to donate military expenses in exchange for the acquisition of New Habsburg. After taking over, they were severely punished by Uldin. Lost face. Now, this Sebastian is probably very angry with me."

Lothar's voice was a little playful.

Looking at the worry on Andreas' face, he realized that as a native of this world, his awe of theocracy is deeply rooted. What's more, the priests of this era are often existences that even the local lords dare not easily provoke.

So he restrained his joking attitude and became serious: "You handled it well, Andreas."

"Don't worry about him causing me any trouble. The Church of Jerusalem and the Pope don't wear the same pair of pants."

Andreas let out a sigh of relief: "I see, my lord."

Lothar got up and patted Andreas on the shoulder: "You don't have to look forward and backward when you do things. I will back you up. Next time you meet such a person, just send the guards to beat them out with sticks."

Andreas smiled awkwardly.

"You have worked hard these days."

Lothar said seriously.

Andreas belongs to the Knights of the Order, but he is not considered a squire. He needs a blank squire template to change jobs, but blank templates are scarce, and even if Lothar has one, he does not intend to use it for Andreas.

"The duties of a servant are not hard work."

Andreas bowed his head respectfully.

"It's getting late, get some rest as soon as you finish what you're doing, you just accepted the first day of first hug, don't work too hard."

Andreas replied with a wry smile, "Yes."

In fact, Andreas really has no room to rest. He will set off tomorrow. How to arrange the luggage team and plan the marching route are all things he needs to prepare. There are still too few civilian personnel under Lothar.

Walking out of the tent, Lothar patted the shoulders of the soldiers on duty one by one, straightened their armor and patted the dust.

The soldiers who were photographed were all surprised, looked at Lothar's back and said: "I heard that this is the unique blessing method of the lord. The knights who followed the lord to attack Saladin's camp at night, as long as they were photographed by him , nothing happened."

"Not only that, but this is a sign that your lord is optimistic about a person. Didn't you hear that your lord called me by my name just now? Maybe when you come back this time, your lord will promote me as a master knight."

Seeing Lothar turn over and jump on the horseback, surrounded by the hussars, and run towards Hebron in the distance, the soldiers reluctantly looked away.

At this time, the night was already very dark.

Lothar, who ran far away, stood in front of a mill, looking back at the continuous barracks outside the city.

Jeanna asked with some doubts, "What are you thinking?"

Losa thought: "They all believe that I can lead them to victory, but they don't know if they have such confidence when they go to the battlefield and find that the enemy has terrifying dragons and wizards who can cast spells." .”

"You're not confident?"

"I still have a little confidence. Saladin will not be more difficult to deal with than the Wolf Expeditionary Army."

Lothar smiled: "It's just that among them, there are still many recruits who have not passed the war test. I really don't know if I should or if I can expect them."

The combat effectiveness of soldiers who have been transferred by the system is naturally guaranteed.

The combined Knights of the Order are also very powerful in combat.

Following Lothar to participate in the expedition to Limassol, such as the Black Eagle Banner and other standing troops, Lothar can also know the strength of the battle, but these conscripts who have only undergone simple training-especially those under the vassals of all parties Lothar really couldn't raise his confidence in those conscripts.

Taking them on the battlefield, Lothar always felt unreliable.

"Whether it can work or not has to be tested on the battlefield."

A hint of cunning flashed in Lothar's eyes, he reined in the reins, and said with a light smile, "Let me test your fighting power first tonight?"

Jeanna snorted with some disgust: "In this wilderness?"

"Of course not. Let's go back to the inner castle. Flynn and the others are all in the mansion, and they won't go back there easily."

Lothar lowered his voice.
