Chapter 468 The Queen’s Choice!
"I was your sister before, and I still am now. By chance, I have prepared a banquet in the castle. Come and join us." Rebecca's tone became gentler. "Your soldiers and servants, the accommodation and food of these people, sister, I It’s all covered!”
"atmosphere."
Field gave a thumbs up.
"Dinner is settled." Ashina breathed a sigh of relief. Everything else was easy to discuss, except for the meal.
Everyone came to Bull Castle. Today, Bull Castle has been occupied by the Hill family. The residential buildings around the castle finally had fires. Many local residents have no choice but to sleep in dirty alleys and endure the torment of mosquitoes because they have no houses. Field could even vaguely hear crying coming from everywhere.
Today's Bull Territory is not even half as prosperous as the Night Territory.
Fortunately, the laughter coming from the distant castle diluted the sad atmosphere.
"Field, I want to introduce you to a patriot, a true female knight." Rebecca pointed to the castle stables, puffing up her chest proudly, "They wrote to me not long ago. I didn't expect it to arrive today. She will definitely It will surprise you.”
Following the direction of his finger, Field saw the groom leading one high-end white horse to the stable.
"It shouldn't be Miss Shirley."
Field drooped his eyelids and said speechlessly: "She and her survey corps are coming to the Northern Province to investigate the rotten corpses again?"
"Do you know Miss Shirley?" Rebecca was shocked.
"Of course, we often exchange letters. Don't forget, my territory is at night."
While talking, Field came to the gate of the castle.
The drawbridge was slowly lowered, and Field immediately saw the bright flowers and flags placed throughout the castle. These decorations are usually used to welcome guests.
"It seems that I have benefited from Shirley's glory today."
Entering the castle, Field couldn't help but sigh. Even a small family has considerable wealth and heritage.
The Bull Castle had been looted several times by himself. Large pieces of silk and huge family flags were hung on the walls. Oil paintings, porcelain and high-end weapons and ornaments were used to decorate the Bull Castle extremely beautifully in an elegant way.
The servants of the castle were constantly coming in and out, bringing delicious food and wine to the living room.
"Long time no see, Mr. Field." Shirley took the initiative to greet you. She was still the same. She was obviously a young girl, but she always looked mature and caring about the country and the people. "I really didn't expect that I would meet you in advance. I believe this It is the arrangement of the goddess of fate.”
"Maybe Lady Luck."
Field performed an impeccable noble courtesy. Chatting with nobles was always circuitous and contained complex and obscure vocabulary, but this was a necessary rhetoric.
"Hello, hello, Field, my lady has been talking about you from time to time since we last parted."
Shirley's Divine Chosen One, Valtteri, hurried over, tied his waist and laughed plainly: "I am now a third-level Divine Chosen One, how awesome is it!"
"It's only been a few months. He is worthy of being the chosen one of the Gasina family."
With the most prosperous pieces of land in the family, it would not be difficult for Shirley to get a third-level divine chooser.
Field smiled and said: "Miss Shirley, do you want to continue to scout the Northern Province again this time?"
"Oh, I think so too, but there are more pressing things to do. The empire is about to go to war again." A feeling of depression came to her brows. Shirley sighed and handed over the summons, "This is for you, Field." Sir, Her Majesty has appointed you to join the war, and your father has agreed."
"Her Majesty the Queen appointed me?"
Field was shocked.
When did I have such great ability and be appointed by Her Majesty the Queen?
Could it be that his behavior of exchanging military merits for the fortress touched the Queen's skin?
Generally speaking, the empire strictly adheres to the principle of "my vassals, not my vassals", and would not be so strange as to ask a small country baron to join the war.
With doubts, he opened the summons and saw that Field's expression was instantly distorted:
Baron of the Night Lord, appointed deputy commander of the counter-insurgency corps, the third right vanguard corps.
Please provide a corresponding number of infantry according to the principle of one soldier for every ten people in the territory. According to the baron title, 20 fully armored cavalry are provided to participate in the battle.
According to the size of the Night Territory and the subsidy level of the border fortress.
Please ask the Lord of the Night, Mr. Field, to provide the following materials free of charge:
Military pay (the wages of the imperial legions and mercenaries are shared among the nobles), military rations (discounted) and tax arrears (taxes collected at night have not been paid), 167,000 gold coins, 100 pieces of armor, and 500 war horses . One hundred first-level magic cores.
Please Mr. Field, don’t forget the grace of the Empire and the Queen, and lead the army yourself! Arrive at the agreed meeting point on the first Friday two months later. If there is any delay, it will be dealt with according to the laws of the empire!
"Okay, okay, okay, Her Majesty the Queen owes you love."
Field's mood at this moment can no longer be described as exploding on the spot. Now he wanted to return to his territory immediately, then take down the imperial flag and throw it into the manure pit, and immediately declare himself emperor.
Then rush into the palace and blast the Queen's defeat animation! While tying her up and whipping her, he asked her what one thousand minus seven was.
"Kacha~"
Because he used too much force, the summoning order was crumpled into a ball by him, and his knuckles cracked.
His chest was rising and falling violently, and Field couldn't hold back a word for a long time.
Return grace? He didn't get half of the Queen's subsidy at all, but had to draw one out of ten. Based on the population size of the Nightfall Territory, the Queen will need 600 infantry and 20 cavalry! The materials are converted into another 200,000 gold coins, which is the kind of income that can be obtained at night for four months, not counting expenses!
Not only did they provide soldiers for free, but they also had to give money to the queen. What’s even more disgusting is, the mercenary deputy commander? This is inappropriate cannon fodder!
"How many dishes, you drink like this." Field took a long breath and tortured his soul.
My little night leader, what virtues and abilities do I have?
"Why are you looking like that? Her Majesty the Queen must have her intentions. This was also the first suggestion made by the Chief Minister."
Seeing that Field was full of anger, Shirley not only did not comfort him, but was very dissatisfied. She put her hands on her hips and scolded: "Besides, letting you go to the battlefield is an opportunity for you to make meritorious service and gain glory. How many people dream of it?"
"Here you go, I was eaten by a rotten corpse, and no such person was found. Who is Field? I'm really unfamiliar with him."
Field held Shirley's hand and pushed it back tightly.
"These are really not many, let's just talk about the chosen ones, gold coins and cavalry." Shirley glanced at it casually and replied proudly, "The Garsina family has a total of two thousand cavalry! There are three chosen ones and five hundred gold coins. Wan. The Queen personally praised our family’s loyalty at the imperial meeting.”
"six."
Field smiled broadly and gave two thumbs up: "It still has to be you."
"Yes, yes, my brother and I will lead all the strength of the family to participate in the battle." Rebecca was also very motivated.
"There are still masters!" Field couldn't hold himself any longer.
