Chapter 987 Novice Cannon Fodder

"Can I change someone? I'm not qualified to recommend!" Lyon frowned.

He was indeed worried that he was not qualified, after all, he had never recommended anyone.

If the grace of God could be applied for so easily, it would have been worthless.

"Okay, then I'll change the person I recommend too." Count Simon said.

"Wait!!" Lyon stopped him and asked suspiciously: "Who did you recommend?"

"What do you think?" Count Simon looked at him with a smile.

Lyon stood up excitedly, rubbing his hands constantly: "I, Lyon, have no choice but to serve the Count. I will write an application right away."

Lyon was not stupid at all. Count Simon had made it so clear, how could he not know that the other party recommended him?

Don't worry about whether the recommendation can be passed, just work hard.

The two had many opportunities to deal with each other, so they have a good relationship over the years, otherwise Lyon would not dare to complain in front of Count Simon.

Another reason why Count Simon helped him was that Lyon was of ordinary origin, just like him.

This was not sympathy, but entirely out of self-interest.

As the saying goes, forming cliques and factions, Simon didn't want to do it, but he had to do it.

And Lyon, who came from an ordinary background, was obviously easier to win over than those knights of noble birth.

Of course, the most important reason was that Lyon could be helped up and was not that kind of waste.

When he caught up with the publicity because of luck, it was destined that someone would come to win him over.

It was just that Simon took this pit, so other people didn't intervene.

Otherwise, why did Duster and even Richard take such good care of him at the beginning? Isn't it because they thought it would be easier to win him over in the future?

When Lyon wrote an application and applied for divine grace for He Kai and others.

After Count Simon signed it, he quickly sent it to the Emperor of the Empire.

Of course, this takes time, but Simon and others did not do nothing.

Before, he and Lyon helped to apply for divine grace in advance, which was not unintentional.

If Lyon accepted it, it would be equivalent to being branded with the mark of his faction.

Obviously, Lyon did not resist, but was very happy.

A middle and high-level military officer from an ordinary background was actually very happy to be able to hold the thigh of a big man.

Besides, he and Count Simon liked each other, at least they were not the old-fashioned guys he hated.

If he wanted to continue to hang out in the aristocratic circle, he would naturally have to integrate into some small circles, and Lyon had no reason to refuse.

Therefore, Count Simon immediately distributed benefits to Lyon, who had pledged his allegiance.

"The application for divine grace has been submitted, and this favor cannot be wasted. Go and tell them." Count Simon handed all the information and lists to Lyon.

It's not that he didn't want to recruit people like He Kai directly, but there was no need.

If Lyon came forward, he would be included in his faction, and it would also increase Lyon's wings, which was a two-pronged approach.

The only drawback was that he lacked some direct influence.

But Simon really didn't lack these.

Lyon was overjoyed. He thought that this good thing would not be his turn, or at most He Kai would be given to him.

After all, it seems that He Kai and others are just abandoned children, and they are in a very bad state.

But with the support of the Duke, at least they can be mixed into a low-level noble, and then go home to compete for a part of the family business.

If someone really goes against the tide and swallows up the consortium, it will be even more profitable, and even Count Simon will have to pay attention to it.

Of course, this possibility is very small.

No matter how poor the consortiums are, it is unlikely that they will be abandoned and turned over.

In other words, the Duke's support cannot be so strong, otherwise it will chill people's hearts.

Unless someone among He Kai and others is extremely capable and can complete the turnaround with just a little help.

It is not just a matter of ability, and even requires luck and ability to work together.

Of course, even if there is no such big boss who has turned over, a few real knights, barons, etc. are also a powerful force.

Don't forget that these people are all front-line officers.

The low-level noble officers who hold military power may look inconspicuous, but their potential energy is huge.

And don't forget that most of Count Simon's relationships are in the military.

It just happens to be a perfect closed loop. Lyon also wants to continue to develop in the army. For him, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and another important turning point in his life.

...

Warship Restaurant!

He Kai came neither too early nor too late. He had just been rotated off the battlefield and had a few days of rest.

Despite his fatigue, he attended the party again.

To be honest, this kind of party really has some effect.

I don’t know if it’s luck or something else, but the unlucky guys who attended the party were always arranged in the same area on the battlefield.

So it’s very convenient to cooperate and the trust is higher.

These few battles can be said to be smooth sailing. Although there were many casualties, no one died.

So He Kai came without stopping as soon as he got off the battlefield.

Pushing open the door, Li Yang saw He Kai coming in, and took the initiative to get up and pull him to sit next to him.

"I have good news for you. I heard that each family is going to reinforce the front line."

Li Yang's expression was very excited, but he didn't know how he got the news.

"How did you know?" He Kai asked the question in his heart directly. After all, shouldn't the He family notify him first if they want to reinforce?

So this kind of news is very magical, making people wonder if it was made up by Li Yang.

Li Yang was of course aware of the doubts of others. As everyone was arriving, he simply stood up and said, "My information is absolutely accurate. Everyone has been on the battlefield more than ten times in the past few months. More than half of them have been killed. I heard that other families have been completely wiped out. What else can we do if we don't add more people?

And I have a reliable source of information. Several consortiums have reached a consensus. Most of the knights trained recently will be sent here."

This seems to make some sense.

"But what's the use of a group of novice knights?"

He Kai also agreed with the complaints of others. The knights trained temporarily were not as good as the ragtag army they brought at the beginning.

Coming to the battlefield, they really came to die.

Li Yang sneered: "What's wrong with novices? Isn't it just that the mortality rate is several times higher? If there are enough people, we won't be afraid."

The meaning of his words revealed the cruel facts.

The guys in the rear were just cannon fodder among cannon fodder, even worse than they were at the beginning.

The dangers that individuals may encounter are not worth mentioning in their eyes.

It was nothing more than a consumption of resources, and the task of delivering cannon fodder was accomplished.

As for how many people died, it was not important, as there was no shortage of population in the interstellar era.
