[Chapter 393 I Want an Army]
Early the next morning, while Robb was sitting on a stone chair and having breakfast, Director Elsie came.
Report some meaningless work as usual, just to brush your face.
He turned over the parchment roll in his hand and reported seriously: “Godfather, recently, more than 500 prisoners of labor reform have been released from prison because of their good behavior. Most of them chose to stay in Xifeng Town to work, only A half received the pass and returned to the desert kingdom, but when they left, they all said that they were willing to bring their wives, children, and children to live.”
Robb smiled and nodded: “Great!”
Try to commute as many prisoners as possible to get out of prison, it’s Luo Bai had a good strategy from the very beginning. Those 3,000 soldiers who have been thrown in prisons are actually a huge waste of human resources. Therefore, as long as they behave better, they will be commuted wildly, and they will be released as soon as possible to become civilians. It is beneficial to “truly” increase the population size of Xifeng Town and increase the capacity of the labor market.
Moreover, Xifeng Town is getting bigger and bigger, and with the expansion of the population, the problem of public security has become more and more prominent. Occasionally, there will be fights and petty thefts.
Fortunately, everyone knows that Godfather can resurrect, and it is best not to do stupid things like murder and arson. Because killing and silence is meaningless, Godfather only needs to resurrect the dead and know who the murderer is when he asks.
Therefore, there has been no major criminal case in Xifeng Town.
But petty theft also needs to be managed by people. It is necessary to liberate the prison guards as soon as possible, and put them into more important public security management positions. They cannot be kept trapped in prisons.
Robb said: “The strength of the commutation can be strengthened. As long as the performance is good, it can be reduced for a year or two, or even a direct amnesty and release. I don’t care about this, you can decide for yourself.”
Director Elsie thought Anxi is happy, the more things he can handle, the more power he has. In Xifeng Town, he is the biggest official under one person who does his duty and above ten thousand people!
He brushed his face and was about to leave.
Robb suddenly said: “Wait! Don’t rush, I still have something for you to take care of.”
“Godfather does what you tell me.”
Robb pointed to a row of newly dug graves on the hillside next to the church, and said with a smile: “Last night, a dozen orcs slipped into Westwind Town, were hacked to death by Lars, and buried there.”
As soon as these words came out, Director Elsie almost jumped up in shock: “Orcs? Damn it! How did this thing come to Xifeng Town? Ah! This is the dereliction of duty by Xiaguan. He did not protect Xifeng Town well. Xiaguan will go to the sentry who was in charge of the patrol last night and punish them severely.
” No need.” Robb said with a smile: “Dozens of prison guards have to patrol a city of tens of thousands of people, how is it possible? There are omissions that are inevitable, you can’t blame them.”
Director Elsie quickly took a note: “Godfather It’s really a lot of adults.”
Robb said: “West Wind Town is getting bigger and bigger, even if I have a sight distance of 5,000 yards, there will be places that I can’t see. Now there seems to be a little movement in the Black Pine Mountains, and the army of monsters is just about to move, no, Even the scout team of the Orcs has come to the door… So, it’s time for us to form a real defense force to assist me in protecting the people.”
When Director Elsie heard this, he was overjoyed, he had been waiting for this for a long time. The opportunity has been long, the first real army, how high is the status, if Godfather will establish an independent country in the future, this army will be properly converted into the “Royal Knights”, if it can be the leader of this “Royal Knights” , the position of a grand duke is settled.
He hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Godfather, if you don’t dislike it, I’m willing to be responsible for forming this army.”
Robb smiled and said, “Oh? Tell me about your expectations!”
Director Elsie immediately said: “I The expectation is that this army will be named Robert’s Guards, all soldiers must swear loyalty to Godfather, and Godfather will prevail, Godfather said to fight the east, we will never fight the west…”
“Slowly! Stop!” Robb hurriedly interrupted, scolding with a smile: “Damn mental retardation, I asked you to talk about the source and size of the army to form this army, not let you come to a position first, all day long. I just know how to flatter me.”
Director Elsie thought to himself: For something like the army, of course, you should make a statement first! If you suspect that I am self-respecting, it is not a death sentence. Of course, you must first say that this army is loyal to you. Under this premise, you can say it later.
He cleared his throat and said: “The issue of the source of troops is very simple, just let the farmers…”
Robb hurriedly interrupted: “Hey! The farmers want to farm.”
Director Elsie said: “Godfather has always been kind, never Let the townspeople take part in the war, but there is no such good thing in other territories. When the lord starts a war, he orders the peasants to give up their farm work and put on armor to become soldiers. This has always been a tradition. We use this kind of The method is to recruit at least 3,000 militiamen at any time in Xifeng Town.”
“Go to hell with such a tradition, this source of soldiers will be abandoned.” Robb said: “In my Xifeng Town, farmers are farmers, fight a ghost battle, they I was unprofessional in fighting, I accidentally killed myself, and asked me to revive, wasting my lazy time.”
Director Elsie: “…”
Well, since Godfather doesn’t like it, as the number one licking dog, Of course, he changed the plan immediately. He immediately said: “Then the workers…”
Robb didn’t wait for him to continue, and immediately interrupted: “The workers are not good either! The skilled workers are the treasures of Xifeng Town, how can they use them to fight? ?”
Director Elsie rolled his eyes: “Let’s do it, organize the prisoners and let them fight. Anyway, they are the army of the desert kingdom, and they are ours immediately.”
Robb He glared at him angrily: “Many of them are slave warriors, pitiful thieves, they finally saw that they could become civilians after the labor reform in Xifeng Town, and the salted fish turned over. They are very motivated, you want them to continue to be slave warriors, they don’t Crashing is weird.”
Chief Elsie said embarrassingly: “Godfather, you won’t let anyone move, so how can you organize an army?”
Robb hummed: “I don’t want this kind of half-hearted army, what I want is— -Professional army!”
“Huh? Professional mercenary?”
Rob shook his head: “Don’t just know the mercenary who fights for money, that kind of soldier has no soul and is not desirable. What I want is a child soldier from West Wind Town. , born only to protect West Wind Town, not engaged in agriculture, industry, or commerce, they don’t have to think about anything other than fighting.”
“Is that so?” Director Elsie is not a fool, and after a little thought, he will understand: “This is the case. An army that does not do production at ordinary times may have more time for training, and its combat effectiveness will of course be much stronger, but… it will cost a lot of money. Compared with the militia, such an army costs a lot. ”
