Chapter 440 [0437] Fiona's Choice and Laurent's Dilemma
"Fiona, you don't know?" As if he had discovered something extraordinary, the thin bamboo pole widened his eyes exaggeratedly, "The peerless swordsman! Fiona Laurent!"
"Is her swordsmanship good?" Sisliya blinked, "Did she rank well in the martial arts competition?"
"No, Ms. Fiona didn't rank in the martial arts competition."
"No ranking." Sisliya couldn't help shaking her head, "Then how can she be called peerless?"
"Because in that martial arts competition, she was the referee, responsible for maintaining the order of the competition."
Hearing this, Sisliya finally widened her eyes in disbelief.
"So why did Ms. Fiona come to the recruitment office to register?" Ignoring the dazed Sislia, the thin bamboo pole touched his stubbled chin in a strange way, "Could it be that the Northern Border Army is also recruiting officers at the same time?"
Hearing what the "informed person" said, Sislia looked at Fiona with even more envy - but she knew very well in her heart that she was different from Fiona. Although she passed the reserve assessment, she was a rookie after all, and she could never be an officer.
Sislia was confident that after training, she would become a qualified, glorious and fearless pioneer soldier, but becoming an officer... that was too far away, and she could only think about it.
Of course, self-knowledge is self-knowledge, but this did not prevent Sislia from looking at Fiona with longing in her eyes when she completed her physical examination and received her own set of equipment.
Then, she was surprised to find that the set of clothes Fiona got seemed to be for a private soldier.
Rubbing her eyes, Sislia carefully looked at the equipment Fiona was holding. She had good eyesight. Although she was far away and couldn't see the material clearly, she could still clearly see the style.
It was the equipment of a private soldier. Whether it was the style of the armor or the length of the cloak, it was the standard of an ordinary private soldier!
Could it be that Fiona was recruited as a private soldier?
How could this be possible? How could the peerless sword princess who could be a referee in the tournament be a private soldier in the private army of the North?
……………………
It was not only Sislia who felt puzzled about this.
After receiving the news, Lux, who was behind the recruitment office, also hurriedly appeared and found Fiona to ask her why she became a private soldier.
"Miss Laurent." Lux stopped Fiona, who was holding a private uniform in her hand and was about to go back to change, "What are you doing?"
"Of course I'm enlisting in the army." Fiona's face was calm, "According to the law, children of nobles without titles can freely choose to enlist in the army as privates."
"Of course you can, no problem." Seeing Fiona pretending to be confused here with him, Lux could only shake her head helplessly, "But the question is, why? If you want, even if you join the Fearless Vanguard, you will at least start as the captain of the shield formation or the sword formation - but you come here to enlist as a private soldier, which undoubtedly fails your talent."
"I want to go to the North." Fiona gave a very direct reason, "I long for a worthy opponent."
Lacus narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard it.
"Not you, Luxana." Fiona said calmly and coldly, "I saw your fight with Taric... You are very powerful, but you are not the opponent I am looking for."
Lux blinked, and then realized what Fiona meant - for her, a valuable opponent is an opponent with superb martial arts skills, not a wizard who looks like he uses a sword but can actually fly and send waves.
"So you focus on the North?" Lux thought, "To challenge the barbarians of Freljord?"
"One can learn from others' experience." Fiona nodded, "Although I did not directly participate in the tournament, I still gained a lot - in fact, if I could, I would like to leave the kingdom and travel around, but unfortunately, as a member of the Laurent family, I can only settle for the second best."
Lux nodded, indicating that she understood what Fiona meant, and then asked again curiously: "In that case, why do you have to become a private soldier?"
"Only private soldiers can Only then can you undertake the most basic patrol missions and have the opportunity to enter Freljord without being disturbed and distracted by other affairs. "Fiona's tone is still full of matter-of-factness, "and... although you are not the opponent I long for, you are indeed a worthy challenge. "
Lux suddenly wanted to roll her eyes-obviously, in Fiona's view, she is a "rebellious" magic swordsman, and she is not the same as a skill-based player like her, but at the same time, she still recognizes her combat level, so Fiona plans to go to the North to "communicate more" with the barbarians, and then verify the results of the communication on herself.
Rather than joining the army, it is better to say that Fiona chose to go to Fosbyro with her mainly for self-cultivation!
However, even so, Lux welcomes her arrival.
Even if Fiona's purpose of joining the army is not pure, in the end, she still became an "ordinary" private soldier in Fosbyro.
And this is very helpful for Lux's next recruitment.
In Demacia, why is the first choice for everyone to join the army Fearless Vanguard?
Because in the many battle sequences of Demacia, the Fearless Vanguard is the absolute trump card. Joining the Fearless Vanguard and becoming a Fearless Vanguard warrior is the greatest honor!
As for the private army...anyone with a little bit of ambition would not be willing to go.
However, with Fiona joining, Lux can hold her head high and say "our private army of Fosbyro is different from other places"!
With the funding from the Crown Guard family in the early stage and the development of the North in the later stage, Lux has already made up her mind to give Fosbyro's private army extremely high material treatment. Now what she lacks is the spiritual encouragement for the soldiers.
Is there a better recruitment slogan than "Fight side by side with Miss Fiona Laurent"?
You know, even if the martial arts competition has ended for a long time, its influence in the whole of Demacia has not completely dissipated.
For these young and ambitious people who have just become reserves, who doesn't envy the players who faced foreign visitors in that martial arts competition with swords and shields in their hands and won?
So, do you want to fight side by side with Fiona who arbitrated the competition at that time?
Come to Fosbyro, become a soldier under Count Laxana, and you will get everything you want!
Without Karya's reminder, Lacus thought of a series of recruitment propaganda methods in the blink of an eye.
"Miss Laurent." Thinking of this, Lacus finally had a subtle smile on her lips, "I welcome you to join Fosbyro's army, and I am also happy to fight with you and make progress together."
Fiona nodded: "Just call me Fiona."
"But as a soldier, I think Fiona should not mind contributing to the recruitment cause?"
Fiona nodded again.
"That's great." Lacus smiled brightly, "Thank you very much!"
……………………
In fact, Fiona is willing to join the army, in addition to the training of martial arts that she and Lacus said, it is actually for the Laurent family.
Over the years, although Fiona's swordsmanship has been constantly improving, and she has even mastered the legendary sword dance waltz, the entire Laurent family has become more and more embarrassed in Xiongdu.
The fief of the Laurent family is not far to the east of Demacia's capital. There are rivers in the fief, and the land is fertile. But as we all know, the fiefs of nobles in the heart of the kingdom are relatively small.
Unlike the Crown Guard family, which has a small number of members, the Laurent family is large and powerful. Fiona has a lot of brothers. As the saying goes, "It's not easy to live in a capital." The life of the Laurent family among the nobles in the capital is not very decent.
In fact, this is not a special situation. There are not only one or two families of nobles in the capital who are lonely.
However, Fiona gradually became famous, and the entire Laurent family began to face more scrutiny.
This made Fiona's brothers, who were only average, feel uncomfortable.
The title of Fiona's brother did make them proud, but the price was a lot of not very decent clothes and behavior, which now looked particularly eye-catching.
In this case, the entire Laurent family chose to hold the thigh of the Crown Guard without hesitation and tried to make a leap upward.
Objectively speaking, the Crown Guard family, which lacks political allies, still supports the Laurent family. During the previous tournament, Fiona was able to become a referee, and Tiana made a lot of efforts.
But the problem is... Fiona herself is not interested in politics. Obviously, if the referee of the tournament is a little active, she will become a "mentor of the contestants" and accumulate a group of connections for the Laurent family, but Fiona insists on arbitrating impartially and has a stern face throughout the whole process. After a game, everyone praises her for being fair and just, but the Laurent family did not get any substantial benefits.
This is embarrassing.
Fiona's father Sebastian is really worried about his daughter, but Fiona only thinks about fencing and is unwilling to get involved in political tricks.
The contradictions between the two sides are not small, and even the relationship between father and daughter is stiff, until Lux returns from the summit.
After the meeting in front of the emperor, Sebastian and Fiona had a long talk, and finally they both took a step back - Fiona went to the North to fight with Lux, hone her martial arts, and stay away from the center of politics; and the Laurent family could remain silent again and establish their reputation of "loyalty".
Anyway, other families don't know that Fiona is here to hone her swordsmanship, so Sebastian can spread the word: the Laurent family is a family that truly repays a drop of water from others with a spring of water!
Look at Fiona, such a big name, as soon as Lux came back, she was the first to stand up and go to the North, even if it was as a private soldier!
So, if you want to cooperate, consider the Laurent family more?
The Laurent family has six legitimate sons, three of whom are not married yet!
Families with young ladies of marriageable age, please consider it more?
Kalya's small class· Jarvan III's pie-in-the-sky:
If I must say, Fiona, as the referee, did not miss out on any benefits-at the successful conclusion of the martial arts competition, she once said that she would increase the fiefdom for the Laurent family.
However, unfortunately, the kingdom really has no land to be granted. Want to increase the fiefdom? Go and queue up!
PS. I don't know if Topsports' game sent Gao Ershu away, but it almost sent me away, my Gao Tiandi!
PSS. There is another chapter in the evening, and it will be updated before 12 o'clock.
