Chapter 179: The army of bastards of the empire
How should I tell Goudan this?
After chatting, Brother Gou was in a daze. He said that wasn’t Mu Yunji in the capital? Why did he appear in City C? It would be fine if he appeared in City C, but why did he meet Goudan so by chance? Is City C so small? This is a metropolis with a population of one million!
"Hey, what's the time to be stunned by Sim?"
A broken gong-like voice interrupted the dog brother's daze, causing the dog brother to subconsciously tremble. Looking at it, it was the instructor who gave him a great headache in the past few days: David Texas.
"Don't think that Miss Shanni is so mean that you can slack off you if you give you a place!" David said fiercely: "I wasted the resources of the Odoran family for so many years, and I'm still going to cheat the mercy of such kind Miss Shanni. You are such a mess, if you don't succeed this time, I won't peel your skin!!"
The Dog Brother was speechless at the moment. Is that guy Yu Nu Wu Gua deliberately messing with him?
After participating in the mission of going north to join the army, Brother Dog realized how fucked they were.
All this starts with the Knight Academy of the Steel Martial Empire.
The Imperial Knight Academy said it is aimed at all legal residents of the Empire. It is said that as long as the individual is excellent and has the potential to become a warrior, he can be admitted and trained by the academy and have the opportunity to become a qualified knight!
Sounds fair, right? Actually, it's not.
The so-called individual excellence refers to your physical fitness and foundation before entering the college. In terms of physical fitness, you must be strong and able to withstand high-intensity training. The basics refer to a certain foundation for combat and weapon application.
This basically separates most children from ordinary families. After all, except for a few guys with divine power, most people need to cultivate them after birth. In addition to scientific exercise, they also need sufficient nutritional food, especially meat.
And you also need to ask a tutor to teach your children basic combat and weapon applications. How can an ordinary family afford this?
Generally, only some wealthy merchants and nobles can afford it. Let’s not talk about wealthy merchants. Most of the children of noble families have been young, especially in the south, who have cultivated management capabilities. So the war in the north of the empire is so tight and the demand for knights is so huge. What can be used to fill it?
Answer: It is the huge group of illegitimate children in the empire!
As a nobleman, most of the nobles, especially males, are romantic by nature. In order to ensure the number of offspring, the superiors also encouraged them to spread seeds everywhere.
Like Dog Brother, the current Earl of the Odoran family, there are hundreds of illegitimate children.
Well, when I knew this data, I knew what a stallion was. It was really a feudal civilization. If I had let go of their era, an NBA athlete with an annual salary of tens of millions of dollars would have an illegitimate child of six or seven who could be sold by the support fee!
Back to the topic, due to the high quality requirements of the Knight Academy, most civilian children cannot get through this threshold, and the illegitimate son is the main force of the Imperial Knight Academy.
The reason is very simple. Most of the children of the nobles have to inherit the management of the aristocratic territory and the aristocratic business. They have learned aristocratic etiquette, management, business and other knowledge since childhood. Naturally, it is impossible to put them on the northern battlefield to fight to the death. But what should I do if I want to strengthen the big family or supplement the loyal armed forces of the family?
The illegitimate child solved this problem perfectly.
As a noble bloodline, they are basically unable to compete with regular-born children for titles and territory, but it is not a waste to dump them. It is better to train them to go to the Knights Academy. If you are lucky enough to win a title and get more back covers, the nobles will immediately restore their title to the children of the regular family and become a noble branch of the family. If you cannot become a noble, you are just a simple knight and you can return to the family and become a knight of the family to play for regular children.
After all, it is a blood relative. It is always said that the fat and water will not flow from outsiders. Of course, it is better to hire a foreign knight than to train it at home, right?
So in this empire, most illegitimate children lived well since childhood. They would be unified and recycled to the nobles, and they would be well-fed and kept with good food and drink. They would be asked to train them, and everyone would have the opportunity to make a name for themselves.
Of course, if you give opportunities, your obligations are also necessary!
After receiving the resources of the family, you must naturally serve the family. Their only way is to enter the academy and then go to the battlefield to fight. Moreover, before entering the academy, you must choose a regular child as your loyalty target.
Since you are training knights, the contract must be decided from the beginning. Whoever you become and whoever you serve, then whoever you are responsible for your expenses and tuition at the Knights Academy!
This is also a matter of management of aristocratic illegitimate children. In addition to cultivating private power for regular children, it also tests the vision of both parties.
This thing is a double-choice system and must be agreed upon by both parties before it can be established. Most illegitimate children who have performed well since childhood will choose the eldest son who is likely to inherit the title and serve as loyalty. Of course, some people choose potential stocks that are optimistic or children who inherit the family business. A very few people will choose the women of the family as guardian knights.
Sim played by Dog Brother is such a role. This unpromising guy is too useless. He finally licked his face and cried and shouted to ask Miss Shanni, the second lady of the family. He begged for several days and asked for a place. After reading Sim's memory, Dog Brother actually wanted to beat him up.
This Sim is actually a illegitimate child. He is not only lazy to be qualified, but he is lazy. He always uses his family's name to bully good people and owes a lot of gambling debts. When he is about to come, he sees no one is going to be kicked out of the nobles. The 2 silly face is suddenly panicked. A lot of people outside are waiting for him to be kicked out and want to beat him.
There was no way, he finally gave up. He knelt on the gentlest Miss Shanni outside the courtyard, asking for someone else's house, with a snot and tears. The ugly scene was so ugly that the dog brother who received his memory wanted to die.
"Don't blame Sim for him. He has worked very hard these days." A sweet voice sounded, interrupting the Dog Brother's memory. Dog Brother subconsciously looked up at the second lady who took in her two-faced character.
"It's a big change, Sim." Shanni looked at Dog Brother gently: "If you worked so hard earlier, you wouldn't have to follow me with a person with no future."
"What are you talking about in a miss?" David said immediately dissatisfied: "It is a great blessing for this dog to take him in. Don't be too indulgent to such people!"
David became more and more angry the more he thought about it. He just went out to do something, but he didn't expect that this guy would take advantage of the loophole and use that method to make his lady give him a quota. If he were there, Madan, he wouldn't kick him to death!!
Although Miss Shanni is a direct child and has a noble status, she is not valued among many brothers and sisters. As a woman, she looks far less than her sisters. She has brown hair, gray pupils, and some freckles. As for women with fair skin, sapphire blue eyes unique to the Odoran family and beautiful blonde hair, Miss Shanni is not popular in marriage.
Most noble women want to marry outside. In addition to their identity, the important thing is their appearance. Because of their beautiful birth, their sisters have been engaged to many marquis and even dukes early on. Even the youngest fourth lady, Winier, is already engaged. Shanny is almost seventeen years old now but no one cares about it.
This also leads to the fact that the Count usually allocates her very little pocket money
The more in this case, Miss Shanni is more serious when choosing the Guardian Knight. She must choose someone who can show off!
After all, in addition to dowry, the guardian knight is also one of the important appearances of noble women.
Miss Shanny has limited pockets and few places to train. David has been worried about finding a suitable knight for her over the years.
Most of the illegitimate children with good qualifications are unwilling to become women's guardian knights. Even if they are willing, most of them are unwilling to defect to Shanni, who has no future. Finally, David found two of them a few years ago, but he took them with him just a few months after entering the northern battlefield.
Over the years, the Count became more and more demanding about Shanny's pocket use, but the silly child gave his limited resources to such a shameless guy.
The more David thought about it, the more he wanted to kick this guy to death!!
Looking at David's bad eyes, Brother Dog might have been caused by memory, and he moved to the side with some guilt. Seeing the cat-like expression, the mouse made Shanni laugh next to him. He hurried over and took David's arm and said coquettishly: "Okay, Uncle David, hasn't Sim performed well these days? It's different from the rumors outside!"
"That's about to be drowned and pretend to behave!" David glared at Brother Dog in anger and said, "Premium costumes, don't think I can change your mind. If you see you still look like before, labor and capital will not kill you!"
Dog Brother: ""
"Okay, it's so late, let Sim take a break." Shanni shook David's arm and then blinked at Brother Dog. Seeing this, David said helplessly: "Oh, my lady."
Brother Dog was stunned, looking at Shanni who was blinking playfully, his heart jumped slightly and said to himself: He is really a candy-like personality.
