Chapter 595: What does the First Knights of the Moon Kingdom mean?
Same with doubtful Rand.
The rebel nobles of the Kingdom of Bolen were also very confused.
At first, he thought that there were not many people on the other side, and it was impossible for reinforcements to come.
Even if there are reinforcements, they can only be conscripted soldiers from nearby.
At first he thought that the person coming must be his ally.
Even if the reinforcements coming were enemy troops, they would at most be conscripted soldiers from nearby areas.
Before the uprising, he had of course scouted the area nearby. There was no legion stationed nearby, and there was no possibility of reinforcements. However, he was a carrier pigeon and a messenger on horseback, but he was not allowed to leave this ruined city.
There is no possibility for the other side to pass on the news.
Even if there was some information in the city that could be conveyed by means that he could not detect.
Even if there might be some regular troops around that he had not detected coming to support him.
These can all be dealt with and won't be a big problem.
"What is the First Knights of the Moon Kingdom?"
Of course, the nobles of the Kingdom of Borun had heard of the name of this knightly order.
This is the personal army of King Rand of the Moon Phase, the most elite knight group in the Moon Phase Kingdom.
Legend has it that most of the mounts of this knightly order can soar in the sky.
But isn’t this fucking legion’s garrison located at Crescent Moon Ridge, the royal city of the Moon Phase Kingdom?
Why are you here?
Rand looked at the confused nobleman from the Kingdom of Borun.
I basically understand that the other side must have made a mistake and the legion did not resist or feel afraid.
"Drag him away and interrogate him." Rand had no interest in talking to this noble from the Kingdom of Bollen.
The normal process is to capture enemy troops, then send them to labor reform and naturalize them. Those who have completed the labor reform period and met the requirements will be returned to freedom in accordance with the labor reform regulations.
But this kind of surrender is still rebellious.
Of course, they would be executed directly after valuable information was extracted from them through torture.
But he was free to choose whether to try the exquisite gallows or the magnificent guillotine.
Rand brushed the dust and blood off his clothes.
A group of knights in equally ornate armor entered the city.
The knights of the Kingdom's First Knight Order were also somewhat bewildered, they knew that the enemy was weak, but to see them so weak was still a bit dazed.
The only way to attack these enemies is to splatter blood on their armor, which will most likely miss.
The knights followed Rand into the city.
Rand met Vanilla and everyone in the city.
"According to the next process, we should repair the facilities in the city, treat the wounded, and organize mourning for the dead." Rand took the exercise process form given to him by Olenna and read it out.
Of course Rand doesn't need a process chart, it just makes it look more like an exercise.
"So did anyone die in battle?" asked Rand, who was wearing the crown.
Vanilla came to Rand's horse and whispered some information to Olenna, and then Olenna reported to Rand.
"In this exercise, we actually lost six people. Two of them were just unlucky, and the other four were because they didn't study hard enough," Rand read out. "However, they are all brave soldiers. They didn't run away from the enemy, nor did they disobey their superiors' orders."
"Now, let's observe a moment of silence for them." There was silence for a few minutes.
Then Rand spoke again: "And I want to declare that this exercise is a complete success!"
Cheers resounded through the sky.
Although this was just a victory in an ordinary exercise and could not even be called a war, it was still something worth celebrating for these fledgling students.
For those veterans, it was also worth celebrating to be able to meet their King Rand and hear Him personally announce the victory.
"Okay, let's go. Don't slack off on the follow-up cleanup work. I will conduct random inspections and supervision." Rand waved his hand, then dismounted and walked in front of Vanilla.
Rand looked at Vanilla, who already had a lot of leadership style: "The exercise went quite smoothly. Good job."
Vanilla was not used to being praised and was a little reserved. At this time, she was transformed from a majestic vice-principal into an ordinary elf employee.
"So considering the current situation, do you think there is any room for improvement in this local governance method where teachers lead students and central troops are stationed to provide support to the surrounding areas at any time?" Rand asked.
After all, exercises are not real wars, and no other place can get such strong support so quickly as here.
So Rand would really like to see what can be improved from the vanilla perspective.
"From my point of view, I think the escape and evacuation preparations should be optimized." Vanilla is also a smart person, otherwise it would be impossible for her to rise from a low-level worker to the vice-president of the National Church School of the Sanctuary Force.
Vanilla explained why she said that: "Our regular configuration for the countryside is ordinary teachers plus some students from church schools and students recruited locally. The combat effectiveness is only one or two professional soldiers, five or six recruits, and some soldiers recruited locally."
"This configuration is enough to completely wipe out some common-scale bandits, and is also enough to maintain daily law and order and eliminate some common beasts and monsters." Vanilla continued, "However, it is not realistic to use this kind of force to defend against rebellions or large-scale looting. Even if the support comes quickly, it may be too late. We should prioritize preserving our strength and saving lives, right?"
"Then if we can't resist, we just need to preserve our strength as much as possible and wait for support to arrive and resolve the danger."
Rand looked at Vanilla with some surprise.
Now Rand feels that if Vanilla really sits on the throne of the elves, she will be qualified to rule well.
Vanilla has a very thorough understanding of Rand's governance and military concepts and grasps the key points.
"It's a reasonable suggestion. I will adopt it." Rand nodded and praised Vanilla again.
Vanilla became a little reserved again.
Rand and the others entered the city's office, learned the specific situation in detail, and made some arrangements. Then the interrogation of the nobles of the Kingdom of Bolen came to fruition.
"You have all done a good job, but there is still work to be done in the future. I don't have much to say here. You are all qualified. I have to deal with rebellions in other places, so I'll leave you now." Rand didn't waste any words.
The result of the interrogation made Rand realize that this noble of the Kingdom of Boren had connected with many people, and these people were waiting to follow suit and start a rebellion.
Just catch them all and hang them.
Even for a king, it is quite troublesome to execute nobles, but if there is a rebellion, there will naturally be no burden.
In fact, even if there was no rebellion, Rand would not have felt any burden in executing the nobles. As the founding monarch, his prestige was almost unlimited.
…
Just when Rand was showing off his might with the kingdom's First Knights, he met Archbishop Kahn.
Archbishop Kahn seemed to have come specifically to see Rand.
"We need to be more vigilant recently." Archbishop Kahn seems to be very busy recently.
"Are there some church members who are dissatisfied with me again?" Rand said helplessly.
"No." Archbishop Kahn shook his head. "It's what you mentioned before, some dangers that will come in the future."
Rand rubbed his brows. Although as the world changes, God's influence on the world deepens, it is inevitable that some unpredictable dangers will appear in the future of this world.
But did you expect it to start now? In fact, early detection and early treatment are good things, but Rand still hopes that there will be no problem at all.
Now it seems that the revelation given to Rand by the Torch Goddess is about to come true. "What happened?" Rand stared at Archbishop Kahn with a serious look.
"Some of our forces in the south have sent back news that the proportion and frequency of illness in the south seem to have increased," said Archbishop Kahn.
Now, whether in the north or the south, the power of the Torch Church is stronger than that of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest and Health.
This is especially true in the south, so health-related work in the south will first be assigned to the Torch Church, and then taken back when the staff of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest and Health is fully staffed.
Things like the frequency and rate of illness are not among the things RAND is required to monitor.
Rand is not qualified to set up a CDC and truly serve as a guardian of health.
That can’t be done now.
This kind of thing will also change due to seasons, climate, natural disasters and man-made disasters, making it difficult to effectively monitor and judge it.
But since Archbishop Kahn said so, then...
Although Archbishop Kahn prefers the teachings of the Goddess of Harvest and Health in his private life.
But Archbishop Kahn is trustworthy in his work.
The proportion and frequency of illness must be something that should alert Archbishop Kahn.
"Normally, these things wouldn't be too serious, but under the current circumstances, if those evil gods can really influence the world more easily, we must start to be vigilant." Archbishop Kahn expressed his thoughts.
"I am particularly worried and suspicious that the dried bones of the Scourge Apostle have awakened." Archbishop Kahn's voice became low and his expression became particularly serious.
Rand also frowned.
Since the fall of the old Torch Church, the cultists in this world have done something more or less.
The Gold Mine War, the Civil War, and even the war between the Kingdom of Rand and the Kingdom of Bolan, these macro-wars that had a huge impact on the world pattern may have been more or less influenced by the God of Struggle.
As for the undead tide that had arisen previously, if it had not been destroyed, it would have inevitably affected the huge city of the undead. This was the work of the Scourge Cult.
Even the Fertility Goddess sect, to which Rand did not belong, had its moments of trouble.
Now anything can be the beginning of God’s influence, and it’s really hard to deal with.
"We can't reach the south, so don't worry too much about it. Just strengthen supervision of relevant issues in the south. I will send more manpower." Rand said after thinking, "If you think about it, we are not completely powerless in the south."
"I will write a letter to Quiro in the south, and then I will ask your people to arrange the delivery of the letter for me." Rand said thoughtfully.
Kui Ruo is the third protagonist and is already a top-level professional.
Since Rand had established a good relationship with Quirrel a long time ago, Quirrel would contact Rand from time to time after he led his people to settle in the south, and Rand would also conduct some trade with the ratmen.
Of course, due to the long distances, these connections and trades were simple and crude.
However, Rand could ask Quiro to pay more attention to this kind of thing. After all, now that there are signs of trouble in the south, the first people to be affected will be the people in the south.
Of course, Rand would not be superstitious about the power of the protagonist of the world. In addition to hoping that Quirrel could make some discoveries, Rand would also write a letter to the princess of the Lionheart Kingdom, the wife of Marcus' son, Grand Duke Adrian of the Thorns, to find out more about the situation.
Although this relationship may seem distant, it is actually a very close political connection, and such serious matters will be responded to in a timely manner.
"How about this first?" Rand looked at Archbishop Kahn.
Archbishop Kahn also nodded: "We will also pay more attention to this, and hope that the trouble will be over soon."
Rand watched Archbishop Kahn leave, then frowned.
Things in the south could not have a greater impact for the time being, so Rand decided to deal with the matters of the Elf Forest and his own kingdom first.
Rand is now the king of the Moon Kingdom, but the wealth and military power that the kingdom can transfer to Rand is not that much.
On the contrary, RAND needs to inject a lot of power to govern and rebuild.
But these are not problems. Rand only needs to proceed step by step and will not fall into any financial funding shortage.
As for the Elf Forest.
Now, there is some clue about the third faction that still exists in the Elf Forest.
At the moment, it seems like they are a group of lunatics who have gone crazy in the Elf Forest.
Some of them come from the nobles of the Elf Forest, while others come from the belief system of the Elf Forest.
They are eager to restore the Elf Forest to its former glory by various means.
Although Rand didn't know how their extreme actions could restore the Elf Forest to its former glory, it seemed that the Elf Forest revivalists were selling elven slaves, elven products and elven knowledge to humans, collecting funds to build weapons, and plotting rebellion.
Another thing is to collect some secret weapons related to relics from all over the world.
These were the results of our investigations after we captured some crazy members of the Renaissance faction. We are unable to find out more at this time.
The influence of these elven lunatics on the Elf Court seems to be quite large, but for Rand, it is not a big concern.
These lunatics cannot get the support of the middle and lower levels of the elves. It will be after Rand is able to mobilize the power of the middle and lower levels of the elves, and even gain some power from the upper levels of the elves.
These wouldn't be a problem, but it would be difficult for the Elven Court to handle.
The Elven Court has ruled for generations, and its influence in the Elven Forest is deeply rooted.
Even if Rand has Vanilla, a royal member, and initiates a fight for the throne in the name of orthodoxy, it will be difficult to really shake it. At least for now, the forces supported by Rand can only be called guerrillas.
However, the guerrillas' expansion speed is still satisfactory.
