wizards descend to the heavens

Chapter 331 Enlistment
A suitable opportunity came soon, and it was already the seventh day that Yado had been lurking in this little knight's collar.

A great news came from the capital of the Principality of Cologne.

The Loren line of defense ignited the flames!
This shows that the evil wizard launched an attack on Loren's line of defense.

Soon, the details of the news spread among the entire knight community.

The evil empire ruled by the evil wizard who has been silent for several years has made a big move. A large number of evil creations flocked to the border between the two countries, the Loren line of defense in the Loren Mountains.

The Principality of Cologne launched a wartime call!From big to small, each lord must fulfill their obligations to the lord, and recruit corresponding troops according to the size of their respective territories and the size of the population.

As for the Feite knight leader, the task assigned was to recruit [-] strong civilian men, and according to the regulations, all weapons had to be prepared by themselves.

"Damn, damn, [-] soldiers, and they are fully armed, this is going to kill me!"

Knight Feite was furious. After receiving the order from Earl Collis, he already guessed that this guy who didn't like him would definitely take the opportunity to make trouble.

I just didn’t expect that the other party would be so blatant!
The mission assigned to him was three times that of other knights, and all the equipment of these soldiers was borne by him, the knight leader of Feite, without any assistance at all.

What's more, the little money originally allocated by the kingdom was also withheld.

Although, in name, all the equipment of the soldiers is determined by their lords themselves, but the kingdom will still allocate part of the funds to the lords below, which is the so-called comfort money.

But now, this Lord Earl not only tripled his mission index to the original amount, but also withheld the money that should have been allocated to him.

How can this not make him angry, how can it not make him fly into a rage.

"Hmph, isn't it because of my territory!"

Fit Knight naturally knows the tricks in it.

Earl Nacoris had already regarded the land led by Knight Feite as his own, and planned to give it to his third son, Will, as his family territory.As long as Will becomes an official knight, then Earl Collis will naturally apply to the Principality to occupy this territory.

But the sudden appearance of the Fit Knight disrupted Count Corlis's plan.Knight Feite relied on his outstanding military exploits and the tradition of the principality to obtain ownership of this territory.

Naturally, this Feite Knight became a thorn in the side of Count Corliss.

It's just that because of the principality's laws and regulations, although I don't like it in my heart, there is no way to deal with him.But now, entering the wartime state, this Earl Chris immediately bared his fangs.

Moreover, he used the king's order openly and aboveboard to drive him, the Feite knight, to a desperate situation.

Five hundred soldiers, this is simply an impossible task for the Feite Knights with a population of less than [-].What's more, we have to equip so many soldiers with weapons. We can't let these farmers go to the battlefield with a wooden stick!

"Feru, send my order to lower the age of soldiers to 12 years old. All males who have reached the age of 12 in the Feite Knights must respond to the lord's call and bring their own weapons within three days. Report from the Lord's Mansion."

"Those who are not overdue. Those who are not overdue are all demoted to slaves."

In the end, this Fite knight bowed his head to the reality. If he violated the king's order, he, the knight lord, would have done it. Naturally, he would not give up his glory and wealth for the sake of some common people.

"But my lord, in this way, I'm afraid that the grain harvest in the territory will fail in the coming year, and there will be a famine. I'm afraid it will be so."

The housekeeper, Feru, was a little bit speechless. They, the leader of the Feite knights, were not famous for their grain production, and they had to rely on trading some grain in other places every year.

Now if such a large part of the young and strong labor force that is not much is recruited, then there will inevitably be a large area of ​​food shortage in the territory next year, and then there will be a large-scale famine.

And because of the war that is about to break out, I am afraid that there will be no food at all at that time. If there is no source of food reserves, I am afraid that the entire knights will inevitably suffer heavy casualties and endanger the rule of the lord.

"No but, let's go and execute it!"

How could Fite Knight not know that doing so would bring unimaginable disasters to his territory and cause extremely heavy losses.But if he doesn't do this now, I'm afraid that he, the knight lord, will succeed immediately, and talk about the crisis he will encounter in the future.

Therefore, he must be firm in his determination!Giving this order made him feel a little difficult.

"Follow my orders, my lord!"

The butler Feilu said with a sad expression, and when the not-so-young butler left, his figure became a little stooped.

Soon, the conscription order spread among the Feite knights.

There are a total of 420 places, of which [-] places are allocated to the townspeople in the town, and the remaining [-] places are allocated to the six villages under the jurisdiction of the Knights. Each village is assigned seven people. Ten places.

This is a disaster for several villages with a general population of about 600 people!
For example, the existence where Peter is located has a total of 580 people, of which 280 are female villagers. The other male villagers, ranging from newborn children to old people in their fifties and sixties, only have a total of [-] people.

Among them, there are 57 elderly people, 35 young people, and only 210 people who meet the requirements.

Taking away 70 people is undoubtedly a fatal blow to these villages.This is to take away nearly half of the labor force at once, and it is necessary to prepare a certain amount of food and weapons.

This is simply killing people!
Without such a labor force all of a sudden, it is possible for the village to grow enough food for other people's lives.So that means that in the coming year, no, even in two months, many of them will be hungry.

Of course, these villagers did not dare to disobey the lord's order.Otherwise, he would be reduced to a slave, and he would not even be considered a human being.

In this world, the most tragic thing is slaves, who have no freedom at all, and are beaten and scolded by their masters at will, even worse than pigs and dogs.

Moreover, even if these people are ready to resist, but a knight with powerful power, as long as he is an official knight, as long as he is wearing full-body equipment, he can easily suppress ten times and a hundred times ordinary farmers.

So no matter what, after so many years of experience in this world, these farmers have long developed a servile mentality of submission and do not dare to resist at all.

So when the conscription order was issued, all the villages within the territory were immediately cast in a thick shadow.

"Cousin Leylin, look, this is the lord's conscription notice, and we are both in it."

With serious eyes, Pete handed a conscription notice to his cousin Leylin who was basking in the sun.Originally, he also yearned very much to become a lord soldier, to become a person who fights for the kingdom.

Just like Fett Knight, kill the enemy on the battlefield, make meritorious deeds, and break through to become a real knight, obtain a territory, and become a noble lord.

But now he doesn't think so.

This cousin Leylin told him a lot these days, making this humble farmer's son understand that everything in the world is not as beautiful as what the bards described.

Those legends of heroes, those legends of knights, have always existed to confuse people's hearts.Behind the scenes, there will always be some shady deeds.

Just like this time of recruitment, the town obviously has a population of nearly [-], which is enough to equal two villages.

But the number of people who need to be recruited is only ten more than that of the villages going down.That is to say, the existence below has assumed a considerable part of the soldiers for those city people.

"Haha, interesting."

Yado just glanced at it, and then showed the conscription notice again.

The military service system in this world is still in a very primitive state. Soldiers are recruited from farmers because of war needs, and there is no uniform weapons and clothing.

Then when the time comes, on the battlefield, it is likely to be a group of farmers wearing all kinds of clothes, holding sticks, hoes, and even some other weapons in their hands, fighting with those existences that are not easy to mess with at first sight.

It's no wonder that this human principality, after the Lion Heart Knight, has never won a victory in the battle against the evil wizard.

Moreover, every ten or 20 years, the two sides will always have a big battle, during which these principality coalition forces will be harvested one crop after another like leeks.

Yes, in Yado's eyes, these conscripted soldiers are no different from leeks.

Those evil wizards had clearly obtained huge advantages in many wars, but without exception, they did not continue to attack.

Every time after a big victory, they retreated to the north of the Lorraine defense line.It's like visiting every time.

Although, the principalities on these continents are unable to fathom the thoughts of those evil wizards.

However, based on the information he knew, Yado guessed that these evil wizards treated the people of these principalities as leeks and the raw materials for refining the potion.

Whenever they need materials, they will drive the army to attack the Cavaliers Alliance, and then when they harvest enough 'raw materials', they will withdraw their troops.

In this way, it will be able to leave vitality for the Cavaliers Alliance, so that they can come to harvest again in the future.

"Okay, I get it." Yado said, and then he saw a bit of fear, even anger, on the boy's face.

"Didn't you always want to join the army and become a noble knight?"

"That was in the past, and now I have grown up! It's not fair, it's so unfair, those nobles, those businessmen, and even those townspeople, they should have produced more people, but..." Pete stubbornly said Said.

"But they clearly have twice the population, but only half the soldiers. Haha, that's how it is. How can you still be fair with the pigs? You won't eat their meat? If you don't have the strength, you will have to fight wherever you are. If it’s not fair, since you can’t resist, you can only accept it!”

When Yado said this, he couldn't help laughing, "What's more, don't you think now is a good opportunity, only in the middle of the war, with your background, can you rise faster and become a real knight!"

Peter was speechless. He knew in his heart that Cousin Leylin was right, so he couldn't even think of refuting.

"Okay, let's spend the money and buy some equipment. Since you want to stand out on the battlefield, you must have good equipment."

Immediately, Yado handed Peter some money and asked him to buy some weapons, equipment, and even horses.

Because, in this era, only those who are fully armed can be valued by the lord and be incorporated into the lord's private army. This can distinguish them from those tool men who look like cannon fodder at first glance, and increase the chance of surviving on the battlefield. .

And only by surviving, can one make meritorious service, even become a knight, a lord, or a real nobleman.

Watching Pete leave, Yado had an unknown smile on his lips.

He almost understood in his heart that this time, since the evil wizards were uncharacteristically attacking nearly half of the time earlier, most likely besides collecting materials, they also had the idea of ​​searching for him.

After all, although this world is only a small world, its area is quite large, and its population is hundreds of millions.Finding a single person in such a large place among so many people is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Naturally, a war is launched, a war that sweeps the entire continent. No matter what happens, it will always attract the attention of most people in this world. If you are not careful, you may be exposed.

Wouldn't this be much better than searching slowly among hundreds of millions of people.

Feite knight collar, knight castle.

Knight Feite's castle is located in the northwest corner of the town, and it is the highest place in the town. Standing here, you can have a panoramic view of the whole town.

At this moment, the Fit Knight, who was wearing a suit of armor, had a gloomy expression.

In front of him, five hundred panic-stricken farmers were arranged in a chaotic formation, without any appearance of soldiers.

Not to mention, look at these people, what are they holding in their hands.Hoes, sickles, and even some people are holding wooden sticks. Does this mean that war is a child's play!

Are those evil creatures all pigs?
Even if there are 500 people here, but he, Fit Knight, has absolute confidence and can easily kill all of them.

"Stand up for me, from now on, you are the soldiers of the kingdom, so you have to look like soldiers!" Fate Knight shouted loudly.
