Chapter 767: The Great Recruitment (Part 2)
Nobles with strong strength and generous spending are qualified to pick and choose the soldiers they call up.
The monster red tide has to be fought every year, and those truly experienced nobles basically have several batches of their own teams. Some people are scrambling to join the team they lead, so they don’t have to worry about the staffing problem at all.
There are also differences between nobles.
Their differences are mainly the allocation of defense lines in the three border territories.
During the recruitment interval, nobles who are more familiar with each other will get together to discuss the defense areas they are assigned to.
They wear cloaks and thick mink coats, and may also wear a necklace with the magic of [Burning Breath] on their necks, so that they can keep their bodies warm outdoors in the cold winter.
"Viscount Middleton, how is it this year? Are you still in charge of the No. 1 defense line section of Kalezi County?"
Viscount Middleton, who was called, had a naive smile on his chubby face and grinned complacently: "Hahahaha, that's right! It hasn't changed for four consecutive years. God of Radiance bless you, I just love the Crusaders!"
"I'm not bad either. I'm also in Kalezi County this year, but I was transferred to the No. 2 defense line!"
Someone else joined the topic and sighed:
"You are lucky, but I can't. It's Nochima County again! Unlucky! I have to see Ashdor Nochima's stinky face again."
The other nobles who didn't speak immediately spat at this guy who got the advantage and acted cute!
"Pah!"
They knew it very well in their hearts.
The three border counties.
Relatively speaking, the safest and least stressful one is the Earldom of Kalezi County.
Because the main force of the Crusaders is stationed there, the Crusaders will focus on attacking the difficult monsters, and they can also get various glow magics, especially those used to purify and dispel void pollution.
The actual death rate of the monster red tide in Kalezi is also the lowest every year.
Among the other two border territories, the situation in the territory of Marquis Nochima is not very bad.
Although the nobles in the capital basically don't get along with Marquis Nochima, it's because they hate this guy "stealing money" from their pockets.
But when the monster red tide comes, they still have to rely on Marquis Nochima's wartime command and the border defense facilities built there.
Although Marquis Nochima is rude, irritable and stubborn, he is a guy who does things in a down-to-earth manner.
The border defense line is solid and strong, and the pressure on them to defend will be much less.
Those who didn't speak or make a sound in the discussion of the nobles are basically the unlucky ones who were assigned to the Ceylon Territory.
According to the situation in previous years.
The situation in the Ceylon region is the worst!
The reason is simple.
On the one hand, the worst manpower and supplies were allocated there.
The main force of the Crusaders was in Kalezi Territory, and the main force of the King's Army was in Nochima Territory, so naturally only some scraps were left for Ceylon Territory.
On the other hand.
That broken place was actually impossible to defend at all.
The defense line was built on the fixed gaps in the [Past Glory] barrier, and as for those small gaps that appeared without any pattern, they had to be abandoned and low-level monsters were allowed to rush in.
For example.
The gaps in Kalezi were large, but the number was small, so there were many powerful monsters;
The gaps in Nochima Territory were small, but the number was large, so there were many monsters.
Ceylon Territory was an old colander with many holes, and the most common thing was the small gaps that appeared randomly.
Before the gaps in the [Past Glory] barrier appeared, except for those fixed gaps, no one knew where it would have new small gaps this year, and no one knew where the monsters would rush in from.
It was completely unrealistic to send enough people to guard the entire border line airtight.
Therefore, during the defense process, they also had to be prepared to be cut off by monsters at any time.
When monsters rushed into the kingdom, they might turn around and go directly to the back of the defense line, and do a classic double teaming from the front and back, and cooperate with the inside and outside.
This was a real field battle. Without the help of city walls and various defensive equipment, the combat pressure and mortality rate would increase greatly.
Henry Trang, the Radiant Bishop who was once in charge of the Ceylon region, was greedy for money and fame, which made the already difficult defense of the Ceylon defense line even more difficult.
Although the Radiant God Church provided free divine assistance during the monster red tide, the treatment resources were always limited. Who could get treatment first and who could get treatment later was naturally decided by the regional bishop.
In a battlefield where injuries and mortality rates were not low, who wanted to get priority treatment, and the most important resurrection and rescue?
That depends on your relationship with Bishop Henry Trang!
If the relationship is good, the first thing that happens after you die is to arrange for the Radiant Priest to perform the [Resurrection Spell] to pull your soul back to your body;
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
If it is not good... wait in line next to you!
If it is your turn, you are lucky. If it is not your turn, then "May the Radiant protect your soul and ascend to the Kingdom of God".
Bishop Henry Tran was brought back to the Holy Land of the Radiant Religion Headquarters for trial and punishment due to dereliction of duty some time ago. In fact, many nobles secretly applauded.
They all gave Bishop Henry a lot of money in the name of donations in Ceylon in order to get special care from the Radiant Priests on the battlefield.
Now that guy is finished, the one who temporarily took over his duties is Captain Griffin. They heard that the other party is a relatively upright new Crusader Legion Captain, and his appetite is not as big as Bishop Henry. This can barely be regarded as good news.
Of course, the best option is definitely not to go to that broken place of Ceylon Territory!
Every year, nobles are loyal to the kingdom on the defense line, and the death rate of Ceylon Territory has always ranked first among the three territories.
There are ways to go through the "back door".
Usually.
The person who participated in the Hunting Moon event in which border territory will be assigned to the corresponding border territory after being canonized, and will not change in the future, after all, he is more familiar with the situation there.
But there are exceptions.
For example, if the defender of a certain section of the defense line unfortunately died in battle, or was too old to fight again.
Then his position will be vacant!
Seize the opportunity to fill the corresponding vacancy, and you can complete the operation of switching from Ceylon Territory to the other two safer border territories!
Therefore, when the Great Recruitment was still in the recruitment stage, the nobles who received the call from all over the kingdom, especially those who were assigned to Ceylon Territory, were desperately trying to find out the news in advance in a roundabout way.
"Which nobles in charge of Kalezi Territory didn't come this year?"
"How many people died in the battle of Nochima Territory last year? Oh, I'm not attracted to their defense line section, I just want to express my respect and condolences to them!"
"I have a friend who wants to know how many vacancies there are in Kalezi Territory this year?"
Their goals are very consistent.
They all have the idea of "staying away from Ceylon Territory"!
