Chapter 31 The Second Legion of the Northern Province

"Everyone, get ready to go!"

"Adrian, take my order and let Simon lead the people to go."

"Prepare food, weapons, war horses, and be ready for battle."

Derrick issued orders one by one.

According to the governor's order, Count Pereira only has ten days to reorganize the army.

It takes a day to get here from Count Pereira.

Derrick doesn't have much time left.

Fortunately, compared with others, Derek's men are more well-trained.

A large number of soldiers of level seven or eight, and the recruits are generally above level five.

There are even some elite knights, elite knight attendants, and elite infantry.

Almost all of the earliest batch of soldiers were promoted to elite level.

Compared to other aspects, the army pays more attention to discipline, and it is difficult to see the huge gap between strong and weak with the naked eye.

The most important thing is, if you have the ability to question why others are so strong, go ahead, believe it or not, I will break your legs.

Derrick is under great pressure, and the army that he has always maintained and even expanded has finally come in handy.

The Ferreira family sent out five knights and 300 soldiers, plus the temporary peasants.

Derek alone managed to gather 20 cavalrymen and 200 infantrymen.

The remaining 100 people were stationed in various places, training new recruits and protecting the foundation.

He set out from the Ferreira family territory and joined the slave soldiers led by Simon outside the Earldom of Perez.

All the people arrived, carrying Derek's pennant, and entered the Earldom of Perez.

In just a few days, Earl Perez had returned to his fiefdom and raised the flag of the Second Legion of the Northern Province.

When Derek arrived at the barracks, tens of thousands of soldiers had gathered here.

The knight in charge of receiving the recruiting nobles saw the knight badge Derek wore on his chest and smiled: "This knight, please report the family name and the number of soldiers, I will register, and then wait for the earl's unified arrangement."

Derek deliberately wore the badge of the Perez Knights in a conspicuous place to show his identity.

To some extent, most of the troops under Count Perez have the background of the Knights, which means that everyone is one of them.

In the army, those who come from the same faction will obviously receive preferential treatment, especially when compared with others.

"Von Derrick, a knight of the knight, a total of 200 elite infantry, one retired knight of Perez, two knights of the Derrick family, 20 knight attendants, and 50 baggage militia."

Derrick reported the details. He knew the rules of this temporary legion very well and dared not hide his shortcomings.

The knight in charge of registration reviewed the army. Except for the militia, they were all fully armed, and even saw a team of heavy infantry.

And including the knights, each of them was strong and powerful, and their equipment was armed to the teeth, and they looked elite.

This was also Derek's little thought, wearing all the equipment in advance.

"Knight, it seems that you understand the rules here, but forgive me for being presumptuous, I have never heard of the name of the Derek family."

"Senior, I was born in the Ferreira family, and now I have independently created a branch family.

I retired from our Knights a year and a half ago."

Derrick saw the emblem on the other's chest and immediately changed his name.

Yes, this is also a knight from the Perez Knights.

The registered knight smiled and did not dislike this kind of approach at all.

He had heard of the name of the Ferreira family, but he did not expect that there was such strength. A branch of the family could produce so many elites.

So he recorded everything in the book, and after thinking about it, he added at the end, Note: Elite army, elite equipment, and well-trained.

These are all to be presented to Count Perez for review, and adding this sentence means taking responsibility.

There is no need, and people don't need to take risks at all.

The registered knight opened the book directly for Derek to see.

"My name is Cesar Urpin. When we have dealings in the future, I will arrange a better camp for you."

Such a kind gesture, Derek naturally saw it.

"Remember this, Senior Cesar," Derek approached quickly: "My family runs a business of war horses, weapons and armor. If you need it, you can come to me."

Derrick was not casually releasing goodwill, but the knight in charge of registration was in a low position and had great power. He was the first eye and ear of Count Pereira to control the legion. It was impossible for him to be a confidant.

Now that he was temporarily working under Count Perez, he naturally had to build a good relationship.

Cesar didn't expect Derek to say this. This kind of business was not something that ordinary people could do. It seemed that he had been away from the fiefdom for too long and knew too little about the nobles nearby.

"I remember, there must be something to trouble you, Knight Derek."

Cesar was more concerned about this and arranged a better camp for Derek.

After Derek walked around and found his elder brother Marco, the other party's camp was not as good as his own.

Obviously, this was preferential treatment.

Marco also saw Derek's camp and envied him: "It's true that he was born in the Perez Knights. This place is different from ours."

Derrick smiled but didn't say anything. He didn't say the details.

However, one can imagine what the temporary camp environment would be like for a legion of tens of thousands of people.

In the next few days, the number of people continued to increase. Seeing that the time was almost up, Count Perez finally announced a simple military review on the second day and the march on the third day.

That night, the Count checked the register overnight.

Why is this a little secret known only to the nobles with military merits?

The register seems simple and inconspicuous, but it is the first channel for the legion commander to obtain information.

Which family has the most elite army and which family has the most powerful knights? Isn't it reflected by this?

For a legion of tens of thousands of people, the legion commander cannot look at them one by one, and can only rely on limited information to appoint officers.

This is an opportunity. If no one reminds him, there will be no chance.

However, after looking for a while, Count Perez suddenly shouted.

"Cesar, come here, what's the matter with this von Derek?"

The northern noble Count Perez cannot know all of it, but he must know it if he has the strength.

It is impossible to take out so many elite troops at one time, except for a few families.

And it is specially marked on the register, that must be the top one.

Unfortunately, the Count has no impression of the surname Derek.

The Count has no objection to the subordinates doing things because of friendship or simply taking money, but this is too outrageous.

He knows Cesar and should not do such a thing, but this requires an explanation.

Cesar took a look, Derek?

He had a deep impression and immediately replied with a smile: "Mr. Count, you can see it for yourself tomorrow. I have described it truthfully, and I may even have underestimated it. Knight Derek's men are really elite, and they are from our Perez Knights, from the Ferreira family."

Cesar briefly introduced it, and Count Perez had an impression.

However, since Cesar dared to say so, it must be true.

"Tomorrow, arrange for this kid to move forward a little, and I will see it for myself." The count agreed, and then smiled and said: "If it is true, this little guy is ambitious."
