Chapter 35: Sea Cavalry Personnel Selection (4 requests for flowers, evaluation votes, and monthly tickets!)

Looking at the determined faces of the warriors in front of him, Allen smiled.

"My warriors, today I have gathered you here not for other matters."

"You are all elite warriors under my command, the only force protecting Rose Town. After the previous battle with the pirates, everyone should know that our enemies are not only on land, but also at sea."

"I am not someone who likes to be passively beaten. I prefer to take the initiative. I prefer to beat others and rob them!"

"Damn it, I don't think I need to say more about the identity of those pirates, right? Those guys are from a duchy at sea, and they actually dared to rob Allen's head. Do they really think I'm easy to bully?!"

"I believe in many principles, one of which is called an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!"

"They dare to sneak into my territory, and I dare to take people to rob their things. Warriors, are you willing to follow me?!"

Allen spoke with curses, completely lacking his usual elegant demeanor and concern for noble etiquette.

This made all the warriors widen their eyes. They couldn't believe that their lord actually had such a side. However, seeing their lord cursing without regard for etiquette, everyone felt a sense of closeness.

Moreover, Allen's words were recognized by them. Everyone is human, so why can those Blue Moon Duchy bastards sneak attack Rose Town, but they can't sneak attack them?

"However, warriors, there is a problem we must face, which is also the issue I want to talk about today. We need naval power."

"But we currently have no ships. In this situation, we can only think of other ways."

As Allen spoke, he pointed in the direction of the sea: "Building ships now is too slow, and even if we have ships, we don't have sailors who can perfectly control them, let alone sneak attack the Blue Moon Duchy."

"But I've thought of a solution."

After Allen finished speaking, he snapped his fingers. Soon, everyone saw twenty white sea beasts suddenly appear on the calm sea surface.

"Sealion Beasts! They are also our most loyal friends. I need twenty warriors to fight alongside our friends. These twenty warriors will train with the Sealion Beasts in the coming time. You will ride the Sealion Beasts to conquer the sea!"

"These twenty people will be my first batch of sea cavalry!"

"In the future, these twenty people will independently become a combat unit, enjoying higher treatment and greater glory."

Allen said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the seventy warriors in front of him all showed excited expressions.

Allen's words instantly moved them.

Whether it was the sea cavalry being able to partner with magical beasts, or the sea cavalry being able to obtain better treatment and more glory, these were all things that moved them.

As warriors, they certainly craved stronger power and extraordinary strength.

But they didn't have battle aura or magic. They could only rely on their physical strength, which meant that their desire for extraordinary power could only exist in fantasy.

But today, Lord Allen actually gave them an opportunity to befriend magical beasts, and even ride magical beasts to conquer the sea!

What an honor, what a prestige!

Who present wouldn't be moved?

Not to mention those warriors, even Marco was moved by what he heard.

"Now we need to select twenty warriors who are proficient in swimming and have the strongest strength. Only the strongest people can have the highest glory."

Allen's words completely ignited the warriors.

Allen didn't waste any time and directly asked Marco to preside over the selection, asking all those willing to compete for the sea cavalry to stand up, and everyone would have a big competition.

Allen and Marco would select the final twenty people to serve as the first batch of sea cavalry.

"Who is willing to participate in the competition?"

Marco asked the warriors.

Immediately, all seventy people stood up.

"Heh, you little brats, you're all thinking pretty well, you all want to be sea cavalry? Is your strength enough?"

Marco said with curses, and soon he began to arrange for people to compete.

This competition had two events, one was a competition of martial strength, and the other was a competition of swimming skills.

The competition lasted for a whole day before Allen and Marco finally selected the twenty most suitable people.

"Now, those whose names I call, step forward!"

After determining the list of personnel, Marco immediately began to announce their names.

"Bill! Ross! ..."

As Marco's mouth uttered one name after another.

Some of the warriors were happy and some were disappointed.

Soon, after the twenty people were named, the others who were not selected were all filled with envy.

And those who were selected were like roosters that had won a fight, their faces full of pride.

"Alright, everyone doesn't need to be disappointed. They are just our first batch of sea cavalry. There will also be a second batch, a third batch, and even not only sea cavalry, but also other options. Believe me, you will have many opportunities in the future. What you need to do now is not to be disappointed, but to work harder to train yourselves and wait for the second chance!"

Allen said loudly, and his words made the other fifty warriors' eyes light up.

Soon Allen asked everyone to go back and rest well, and asked the twenty selected people to report outside the castle early tomorrow morning.

Chapter 36: Training Sea Cavalry, Three Money-Making Ideas (5 Asking for Flowers, Asking for Evaluation Votes, Asking for Monthly Tickets!)

The next morning, Allen took the twenty people who had been waiting outside the castle early to the beach.

Today, he was going to meet the twenty people with the Sea Lion Beasts and let them begin their training mode.

Since they were sea cavalry, their battlefield was the sea, and training was naturally in the sea.

This was also why he needed warriors who were good at swimming.

Arriving at the beach, Allen called out in his heart, and immediately, twenty huge Sea Lion Beasts appeared in front of them.

"Alright, all of you go forward and choose your Sea Lion Beast. From today onwards, you will be inseparable partners."

Allen said to the twenty warriors, while also telling the Sea Lion Beasts in his heart that they would start cooperating with the people in front of them from today onwards.

The Sea Lion Beasts did not resist Allen's orders in any way.

Soon, everyone had chosen their Sea Lion Beast.

The twenty people and twenty Sea Lion Beasts began their first training session.

In the beginning, the focus was definitely on training the tacit understanding between one person and one beast, just like how cavalry on land needed to cooperate tacitly with their warhorses.

The sea cavalry also needed this kind of tacit understanding.

In the sea, the twenty sea cavalrymen and Sea Lion Beasts began their difficult first training session.

Obviously, the sea cavalrymen had never even ridden a horse before, so how could they directly control a magical beast?

Even if the Sea Lion Beasts cooperated with all their might, it would still cause all kinds of blunders.

For example, the Sea Lion Beast turned too hard and threw the sea cavalryman flying out in an instant...

Such examples were commonplace.

Allen knew that they needed some time to cooperate.

Anyway, there was still enough time, so Allen was not in a hurry.

After letting the sea cavalry train on their own, Allen directly let go and returned to the castle. Now the entire Rose Town was busy, and Allen naturally couldn't relax too much.

First, he cultivated with Saffi for three or four hours, and then after coming out of the Dragon Nest, Allen played with the natural spirits for a while.

Natural spirits are very playful and need human companionship.

After playing with the three little fellows until they were tired, Allen fed them some magic crystals and then put them on the soft little bed and left the room.

Allen returned to the study and began to tinker with his own things.

After all, he was a transmigrator, and he had a lot of ideas and money-making ideas in his head.

The reason why he didn't research these things before was because he didn't have time. He encountered various problems as soon as he took over the territory, and he really didn't have time to sort out his previous knowledge.

Secondly, not only was he weak in the past, but he was also alone and weak. Even if he came up with some money-making things, he wouldn't have the ability to keep them. Rather than being forcibly taken away by others at that time, it would be better not to study those things.

Now it was different. Although he was still just a small baron, he was a Level 6 knight, and perhaps he would soon break through to become a Level 7 golden knight. At that time, he would be a strong man who could be ranked in the entire duchy!

In addition, the Earl now looked at him differently, and with the support of the Thorns Flower family, there was naturally no problem in guarding his own property.

"Let me think, what industry can I develop now?"

Allen stroked his chin. In front of him was a slightly rough piece of paper, with a delicate quill and ink next to it.

"The wine-making industry can be considered. The process of ordinary distilled spirits is not particularly complicated. In this world where the alcohol concentration is generally low, it can quickly open up the market! And the most important thing is that the brewing process in this world is not high, which will make distilled spirits easier to be accepted."

Allen quickly selected his first goal.

"Rose Town, Rose Town, since it is named after roses, why don't I launch a rose perfume? According to my observation, this world shouldn't have such a thing as perfume, right?"

Allen's thoughts became wider and wider.

"And candy, it seems that there are no delicious candies born in this world either..."

Allen couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this.

Not to mention anything else, just these three ideas, once implemented, he would not have to worry about gold coins for a long time in the future.

Thinking of doing it, Allen wanted to completely sort out some of the knowledge in his mind.

Soon he called Edward the butler and asked him to call in the finance officer Sparrow.

"Your Excellency Lord, do you have any tasks for me to summon me?"

In front of Allen, Sparrow bowed extremely respectfully to Allen.

Allen smiled slightly: "Of course, and it is a big task that can bring us huge benefits."

Hearing Allen's words, Sparrow's eyes suddenly lit up: "Oh, my respected lord, please be sure to give them to me, I will cherish them more than I cherish my own son!"

"Of course, you are the most outstanding finance officer by my side!"

Allen handed a pile of drawings to Sparrow: "This is the tool we need. Find some carpenters and make them. Remember to keep a close eye on the carpenters and don't let them leak secrets."

Sparrow immediately cherished them as if he had obtained a treasure, constantly stroking the drawings in his hands.

"Of course, your lord, don't worry, no one can steal these treasures from my Sparrow!"
