Chapter 3346 Alternative Soldier Source
Compared to other countries, the conscription in Wychburg was much more comical.
Generally speaking, Fort Vicky has no shortage of troops, but there are often problems with the troops that can be recruited.
Either he is a guy with a simple mind and strong muscles, or he is a guy who has neither simple mind nor muscles, but is always hot-blooded.
The spokesperson of the former is President Steel Hammer, and the spokesperson of the latter is President Aoli.
Yes, they are the two most famous dwarf guild presidents around His Majesty, and they are also the two most famous star guild presidents in the dwarf guild.
The reason why they are so famous is not because of their outstanding strength, but because their character is so conspicuous, and this character is precisely the collection of character traits of the adventurers of Fort Wych.
Adventurers with these two personalities are often the most difficult to control after being recruited into the army.
What I'm talking about here is the most difficult to control. I don't mean that they don't listen to orders, don't respect military orders, run away from battle, etc. In fact, once their blood is fired, these people are like angry wild boars, roaring and rushing towards the enemy. The war hammer in his hand will smash the enemy into pieces, or he will be killed by the enemy, and he will never give up.
If this group of 'disobedient' battlefield lunatics died in battle, that would be fine. However, the group of people who did not die in battle were still strong-willed even if they were disabled. They were the kind of people who would not want pensions from the country.
For this reason, Fort Vicky never dared to recruit troops aggressively, but every time the recruitment order was issued, dwarf adventurers would rush up, as if the battlefield was their paradise.
In fact, for the dwarf adventurers living in Fort Vicky, the battlefield is really a paradise that makes them happy, and wine is their first lover.
That's too far.
All in all, the easiest places to recruit troops were Fort Vicky and Moonlight City, then Dashay City, and the most difficult place was Airey City.
This ranking is also equated with national strength.
Fort Vicky is well-deserved to be the strongest country in the Zephyr Continent, followed closely by Moonlight City, then again, Dashay City, then York Han City, and finally Airui City.
One can imagine how miserable things are in Airui City today.
I think back then, after the genocide incident, the strength of Airui City was second only to Dashai City.
However, regardless of the heroes' bravery in the past, today's Airui City is not only weak in strength, but also economically weak. Without the help of York Han City, it would have been on the verge of collapse.
Having said that, I always felt that there was a conspiracy behind Carter Horton's initiation of the National War.
Think about it, Airicheng is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and even internal conflicts are difficult to resolve. How can it resist external pressure?
No matter how you look at it, it feels like you are heading in the direction of national subjugation.
But the question is, if the country is destroyed, what good will it do to Carter Horton? What good does it do to the Carter family?
As we all know, although Carter Horton's position is unfair, the Carter family is deeply supported by the people because their ancestor is Carter Adams, the heroic king who founded the city of Airey. Even if there are years of war and even if the treatment is reduced, the vast majority of the people will still do the same. My thoughts go out to the Carter family.
It is basically guaranteed that as long as the Carter family does not forcefully stand against the people, his family's imperial legacy will continue. Even if someone wants to overthrow it, the people of Airui City will not do it.
It is conceivable that a king selected by such a popular family must have the best treatment.
And if Airui City is destroyed, it means that all welfare benefits will be in vain, and the Carter family will most likely be completely reduced to the dust of history because of this incident.
Is it possible that Horton the Crocodile has a grudge against his family?
Or is he actually the descendant of some unknown legendary hero who was persecuted, and in order to avenge his previous shame, he worked hard for decades, just to destroy the city of Airei in one day?
This is too fantasy!
Unreal, unreal.
And although I have never read the genealogy of the Carter family, I am certain that Carter Horton must be a descendant of Carter Adams. He just looked down on the adventurer industry and chose to play politics.
After this idea swirled in my mind for several hours, I became more and more certain of the authenticity of this conjecture.
At the same time, a thought emerged: Carter Horton acted like this. Could it be that he was using the tail-cutting method to survive in order to overthrow the aristocratic group and become the master himself?
Anyway, as long as Carter Horton is alive, the vast majority of the people in Airey City will continue to support him.
Even if he dies, the people will still support his heirs, but this support is closer to a kind of dependence on the Carter family's power. At the same time, it also believes that only the Carter family is qualified to lead Airy City to glory. Superstitious thoughts.
It is precisely because of him and his heirs that as long as one of them is alive, the position of monarch of the Carter family will not be lost to others. Carter Horton wants to get rid of the control of the aristocratic group, so he is facing internal and external troubles in Airui City. On this occasion, a national war was launched to weaken the comprehensive strength of Airui City in one fell swoop.
In other words, Carter Horton did not want the war to be won. On the contrary, he longed for the defeat of the war.
Only if he fails can he have the confidence to challenge the aristocratic group, and only if he fails can Carter Horton be qualified as a leader, either to force the aristocratic group to relinquish power, or to force the aristocratic group to bow its head.
Only when the aristocratic group withdraws from the core power circle of Airui City can he have the opportunity to completely control everything in Airui City and no longer allow the 'monsters' to break in easily.
Want to come in?
Okay, you have to be obedient, otherwise the disobedient guys will either be killed or exiled.
It is estimated that Carter Horton had wanted to say these righteous words to the aristocratic group a long time ago.
Without the constraints of the aristocratic group, some of Carter Horton's decisions can naturally be carried out.
When it comes to decision-making, I think of Carter Horton’s heroic son, Carter Scott.
This is a scary kid who even digs up his ancestors' graves in order to become stronger.
I don’t know where he is now and how he is doing?
From the news sent back by Dan Yong, it seemed that Scott was still alive and had been living in the forest around the capital, while his men were wandering around several towns surrounded by the forest.
This group of wandering guys are just playing tricks most of the time, but whenever they encounter a non-human caravan, they will find a way to kill them.
Moreover, this group of people is really lawless. In order to plunder wealth, they even robbed Master Dewey's caravan.
However, Master Dewey did not express anything about this. He just said in a calm tone: "Since you have been wandering in the mountains and forests all year round, you are probably a helpless wandering adventurer. And this kind of adventurer, in order to fill his stomach, usually Doing some evil things, I understand that.”
