The Rise of the Grassroots Rider

Chapter 14 Meeting

By the Male Wind Legion and the Eagle Legion taking the capitals of the two provinces, Ellis City and Entel City, while the ace legion, the Lion Legion, was heading straight for Charlo's king city, Odysseus City. Odis City was located in the center of the two provinces, and the Lion Legion encountered the most resistance, so the two legions, the Male Wind and the Male Eagle Legion, were going to immediately gallop in after taking the two provinces to break down Charlo's royal city as a way to truly overthrow this kingdom.

"This attack on Phalanx City is just a springboard, the other brigades of the Second Corps have also almost purged and occupied the surrounding towns and cities, and the Corps Command has sent a message requesting that we head to Bimor City to rendezvous as soon as possible." The Baron continued.

"Bimor City...." Whispers immediately came from the tent, it seemed that everyone here was no stranger to this city, it was the center city of an Earl's Domain, and the final obstacle to the Second Corps' rendezvous with the rest of the Eagle Corps.

"Are you in such a hurry already? Isn't there still two months to go." First Squadron Leader Monte said in disbelief. At this time, their brigade was still a long way from Beemer City, there were at least three or four more towns on the way, besides, as the center city of an earl's domain, that earl must have gathered a large number of armies if his brain wasn't broken, Monte didn't want to fight a hard battle again so soon. I believe the Baron did not want it either.

The Baron glanced at him, then looked around at the rest of the people in the tent and gently knocked on the table, the whispering stopped and everyone looked at the Baron. The baron was silent for a long time, frowned and finally said in a deep voice "The country can't hold out any longer, we must end the war as soon as possible." Everyone immediately stared, each thinking.

Baron Kedozi in the royal capital, naturally clear, although the drought ended more than a year, but the domestic labor shortage, especially young adults, the male to female ratio is about to reach 1:3, the field cultivation are old, weak, women and children, although barely self-sufficient, but the army consumption is fast to maintain, this is only one aspect, the loss of population, the war losses, huge foreign debt, the Kingdom of Faustian is only a small kingdom, can not support such a long time to consume. It can't support such a long-lasting consumption.

Since the baron had told the truth, Monte as the baron's wise counselor also agreed, "In that case, we need to take Falans City as soon as possible."

"Franz City is at least a baron's city, I'm afraid it's not easy to take it without all the preparations." Since they decided to take Falans City, the people here were no longer formal and began to discuss. "Besides, our battalion is not complete so far, is it."

The main content of this meeting was to decide on the candidates for the battalion's two squadron commanders, and after discussing it for so long, the discussion finally came to business. But it involved the replacement of official positions, they were only squadron captains, they were not qualified to decide, they could only listen to the baron's assignment.

"Not bad, the battalion is still lacking two squadron captains so far, do you have any recommendations?" The Baron lowered his head slightly and asked calmly. It had been discussed many times before over this issue, but each time it was inconclusive, and this time a decision had to be made on the candidates.

"I think the lad from Neroma is good for the job." The one who spoke was the squadron leader of the third squadron, the one he recommended was also a squad leader of his squadron, his squadron was crippled last time, the vice squadron leader was dead, the squadron leader chosen this time, no surprise it was the one to fill in his squadron, he preferred that the one who came to be a know-it-all and could be headed by him.

"How about Jelson, five year veteran, good strength leadership." The one who spoke this time was the deputy squadron leader of the fourth squadron, their squadron was even worse, less than a third of them survived the Battle of the Fellmer Grand Canyon, the squadron leader was directly killed in battle, and he was currently acting as the squadron leader. Most of their squadron were new recruits, and he desperately needed a veteran to help him lead them, and the person he recommended was not from his own squadron, but from the first squadron. He also wanted to remove the word "acting", if someone from another squadron came to be his squadron's vice-captain, he wouldn't be afraid of being divided up, the squadron's current squadron captains were all brothers who survived with him, and they all listened to him.

"How about Fogini, a strong kid..."

"What about Gibbs, this guy is a veteran and has a bearing...."

。。。。。。

The six squad leaders in the tent all put forward their preferred candidates, Joschak, of course, still mentioned Locke, his evaluation of Locke was that he was calm and motivated.

"All be quiet." Baron Kedozi, who was at the head of the table, rubbed his brow and tapped the table with his index finger, sure enough, it was this kind of scene again, the previous times were also this kind of argument and inconclusive. "This time take a vote."

Sure enough, the few people here all glanced at each other unspokenly, whenever a disagreement was met in the barracks, or a major event, if the Baron Lord didn't decide personally, and the rest of the people didn't have a unified opinion, the Baron would choose to vote. It was said that this was the parliamentary voting system that the Baron had learned while studying in the O'Moore Empire when he was young.

A bunch of big old men didn't read up on the fairness and impartiality of this system, they just felt that the Baron did this in a very humane manner, not as big as the other nobles, and the reason why everyone in this tent was so convinced of the Baron was evident.

So from the Baron's left hand side, the Knights of Weir began to vote, and the six Squadron Commanders proposed a total of six Squadron Commander candidates, two of whom would be lucky enough to be promoted. The favorites were Neroma and Gelson, they were after all the men picked by the three or four squadron captains themselves, and those here who were acquainted with each other had to give face to it, and it wasn't as if the others didn't have a chance, and there was quite a bit of support from Gibb and Locke as well.

Will Knight as always abstained, in this kind of power change vote, Will Knight in order to avoid suspicion is almost always to give up the vote, the reason is that Will Knight is also a nobleman, he is by the Baron enthroned noble knights, it is said that the Will Knight family generations is the Baron Caddozzi family vassals, Will Knight's ancestor was once Baron Caddozzi ancestor's own soldiers, when with Baron Caddozzi ancestor came to the Del Province to fight together.

Baron Caddozzi family also did not fail to honor the Will family by making him a hereditary noble knight. Early on, I knew that in order to prevent the big nobles from cutting off the kingdom, it was stipulated that the upper nobles could only divide the nobles of the two classes under them, and there was only one quota. That is to say that only barons are qualified to divide the nobility, albeit the lowest class of knights. By analogy, a Viscount can divide a Lord, a Count can divide a Baron, and a Marquis can divide a Viscount. Moreover, the noble domains divided by the great nobles need to be spent by the great nobles themselves. So it was evident that the Weir Knight family had the deep trust of the Kedozi Baron family.

As for the Duke, there is no Duke in Fustian Kingdom, hundreds of years ago Fustian Kingdom is still a small duchy, the ancestor of the current king is only a Duke, so the royal family is well aware of the ability and influence of the Duke, at the beginning of the founding of Fustian Kingdom the first king of Fustian Kingdom warned his descendants that they should not be subdivided into Dukes.

The Will Knight family also lives up to the support of Baron Caddozzi's family, almost every generation has a middle-ranked Knight Squire level powerhouse was born, so much so that this generation of Will Knights is even advanced to a high-ranked Knight Squire, with amazing combat power.

After Knight Will, it was the vote of the Monte Squadron Commander, in turn voting until the 4th Squadron Vice Commander on the right side. As for Young Master Solon, most of the people present habitually ignored him because Solon, like the Baron, hardly participated in this type of voting.

Locke, since he was proposed by the second squadron captain Joschak, was right in the middle of the six as the third voter.
