Lord of the North

"White, just say what you have to say, it doesn't matter if you're wrong." Grand said softly with a kind smile on his chubby face, trying to soothe the little guy's nervousness.

And he does have great expectations for Wilder's insights, because he is really smart, but he is a little timid.

More importantly, although this little guy's family background is mediocre, one of his relatives is not a simple little character. Even if the family behind Grand wants to fight against that person, he has to weigh his own weight enough.

His elder brother may be named Monroe. He used to be the commander of the Zola Legion and the captain of the guards, and now he is the commander of the city guards at the north gate of Lucca.

Strictly speaking, this position is not that scary. At most, it is just that he is in charge of 800 city guards, but the troublesome thing is that he used to be the captain of Zola's guards, and he seems to be the same as the current deputy army commander. Lancelot, the powerful commander of the Lucca city army, is also familiar with him.

With such two big backers, who would dare to provoke him?

"Recently, I looked at the information about the mercenary groups that were captured by the suppression, and found that they had more or less bad criminal records before they became mercenary groups. I guess this suppression operation is actually to clean up these It’s just a black sheep, so I don’t think we need to be so nervous, as long as we don’t overreact when people from the mercenary union come to contact us, they will definitely not do anything to us.”

Huaide's face was serious, he deduced these words from Monroe's few words, and then he added after seeing the wonderful expressions of everyone: "And that His Highness attaches great importance to the Mercenary Union, it is impossible to dig his own grave." Yes, cleaning up too many mercenary groups is not in line with his purpose?"

After Huaide's simple words, the elders present immediately figured it out, and then heaved a sigh of relief, but then their faces turned red again.

It's really embarrassing that a group of old guys who have lived for half their lives are not as thorough as a teenager.

What they didn't know was that Jason was not involved in this matter, even if he participated in the initial structural modification, it was only a rough concept.

The rest are plans made by Gareth, Kay, Hassan and others in conjunction with the military under Jason's rule.

That is to say, from now on, this mercenary union may become a subsidiary of the military, and the opportunity to serve the military will be indispensable in the future.

It's just that with such a large force, Jason certainly won't let the military under his command take over. In addition to the army, the local government and the trade union itself will manage it.

The black crow is responsible for supervision and has no management rights, let alone the right to consult.

It's a pity that Jason doesn't have a subordinate who is suitable for managing the mercenary union. Currently, the only ones whose strength and management ability meet his wishes are Leonidas and Roland.

But Roland's talent is more suitable for leading the army to fight, rather than managing a mercenary organization.

As for Leonidas, who has been busy training a new generation of Spartan warriors, he probably has no chance to manage such a large organization.

Speaking of Leonidas, this guy proposed a plan at a meeting some time ago, but the plan died quickly after it was proposed.

This disappointed Leonidas for a while, as Jason seemed to him to be too lenient.

Because his suggestion was to hope that Jason would be able to search for male orphans under the age of ten on the largest scale in the slave market in the north, as well as in some slums.

Then castrate!

Next, he used cruel training methods to train them as soldiers from an early age. He wanted to build a death army without desire and fear!

It's just that this proposal was rejected. Although there have been such examples in history, and their strength is indeed terrifying, and they are still the backbone of the battlefield, it still has not been passed.

As for the reason for being rejected, this plan was strongly opposed by Roland, Lang Nat, and Gareth, and even some generals and officials who later entered the core were also very resistant to it.

But they didn't say it explicitly.

It was very rare for Hassan to remain silent. Perhaps he felt that he had already intervened enough, and he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for himself because of some trivial matters, not to mention that Roland was the ally he planned to win over.

But what surprised Jason was that Dogma actually thought that this plan was feasible. In his words, most of these homeless orphans would not survive the winter, and the iron teeth collar is not a charity. If you can pay some price In exchange for the chance to survive, they must be very willing.

Although he felt that what he said was reasonable, Jason still had to take into account the wishes of most of his subordinates, so he immediately rejected the plan.

It's just that after experiencing such an incident, Jason finally felt how terrifying the ancient kings like Leonidas and Beowulf were.

Although most of the legends left by them are benevolence, love for the people and heroism, but can those who can sit on the throne really be able to secure their seats only by relying on these points?

Can you guarantee that your regime will not be overthrown just by relying on the love of the people?

Jason felt that if Beowulf was here, he would most likely support Leonidas' plan despite the opposition of Roland and others.

That guy is also a kind-hearted guy on the surface, but actually a very cold guy.

This can be seen from the group of barbarians who became slaves in the mines and couldn’t get enough to eat every day, why there are no old and disabled slaves in the mines, because they were all killed by him when they attacked the barbarian tribe .

He believes that keeping such slaves will not only bring no benefits to the outpost fortress, but on the contrary, the fortress will have to allocate some resources to feed them.

"Hey, I'm really not suitable to be a real superior right now." Jason stood in front of the window and pinched his brows in distress.

He always has sympathy for some people in his heart, especially some old and weak women and children.

"Your Highness, every high-ranking person grows up slowly from your stage, and you don't need to worry about it." Dogma, who had been standing behind him, moved his eyes slightly and offered comfort, but his voice was still the same. indifferent.

"Is it?"

Jason smiled indifferently, he just couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Let's go to the barracks."

He took a deep breath, then turned and walked out the door, Dogma followed behind him without saying a word.

Recently, Jason has ordered the garrisons from all over the country to provide the details of the number and list of their troops to Iron Fangling. Now that he has agreed to the Marquis of Asa, he has to cooperate well. Maybe this is an opportunity to truly master the White Sword Province.
