The efficiency of the mobilization of the dependents was indeed very high, but the pace of the march was not fast at the beginning. The main thing is to let the various forces run in as much as possible. So after four or five days of walking, the following troops were basically formed:

One was a combined army of hereditary elders, numbering more than two thousand. Philip became the commander of the force, with Andrés and Sebastian in his deputies. This unit should be the strongest, well-trained, and tacitly coordinated, and it should be the main force of this expedition;

The other was the combined forces of the newly crowned hereditary elders, numbering two and a half. The army was led by an elder named Anthony. The number of people is also the largest, but the ingredients are quite complex. It should be said that if only individual strength is discussed, this army is no worse than the hereditary elder's. But when it comes to the overall fit, it's completely different.

However, this is also understandable: the private armies of more than 20 elders are mixed together, can there really be people who are selfless?

There was also an army of more than 800 men, also led by a new hereditary elder named Jacob. This force is composed of seven or eight newly sealed hereditary elders, and there are some civilian armed forces attached to it. After all, among the newly sealed hereditary elders, they are not completely monolithic. Of course, the strength of this army is weaker, and it is completely a miscellaneous card;

The last ...... turned out to be the unit that Dipu had pulled up in a short time. After the news was released, the number of civilian armed forces attached to Dipu eventually reached more than 500. Coupled with the three saints' centaurs, he actually had more than 800 people. Of course, let's not mention the ingredients inside, you can hide your face and cry. Let's just talk about the centaurs of Elaine and the Carbonero sisters, and it's already thanks to the God of Light that they can not fight.

In addition, there are more than 200 rangers who have not yet been decided. And these are all the main forces of this expedition.

Of course, if there is a success, the Cult will continue to send a support force of up to 10,000 people. However, in the support units, there are very few combatants, and most of them are laborers. They will help the lords build a city in the Bekaa Valley. After that, we will gain a foothold, and there will be no more talk of large-scale immigration. Because it's too early.

I have to say. For this expedition, the Spirit Sect has indeed spent a lot of blood. The labor funds will be borne by the Spiritual Sect, and even the grain and grass along the way and the grain and grass stored for one year after the establishment of the city will be temporarily advanced by the Spiritual Sect.

And the lords only need to return the cost of building the city and reserve grain and grass in the future. Even the time for returning it is very generous, and it is negotiable. It's a friendship price.

......

The climate of the Forbidden Demon God Ruins is very pleasant. The four seasons are like spring, and the temperature difference between day and night is not large. The stars in the sky and the bonfires on the ground, under the light of this mutual light, the center of the camp was already full of people.

"I heard that the main general this time is very young. Can he do it?" someone in the crowd was talking to each other.

"I don't know, his name is Dipu, right? I heard that even the Holy Maiden will marry him, is he ......?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I heard that he was an oracle. ”

"Huh?

"Haven't you heard the pastor preach? I heard that he was a spirit controller. ”

"Is there really a soul controller? wouldn't you? You didn't lie to me, did you?"

I have a brother who is studying in the Spirit Pagoda, and he sued me. You can't go wrong. ”

"Well, that's for you. If it's an oracle, why don't you announce it publicly? If it's true, then it's definitely a great thing?"

"Why are you ......? I'm not uncommon to call you stupid. Think about it, suddenly there is an oracle, and he is so young, do you believe it or not? That's why the elders are so far-sighted and let him take us on the expedition. Once you have the credit, you can justifiably disclose your identity. Otherwise. Will there be a young man who has never heard of him as the main general, and will he marry the saint to him?"

"Eh, I get the idea. ”

"That's why I'm going to follow this Prima. Got it?"

"Am I not the same? hahaha!"

"Don't giggle, you're blinded. ”

"Understand, understand, big brother, you are extremely wise. But...... I'm not out of luck!hahaha!"

......

The people gathered in the center of the camp were all civilian forces who had attached themselves to Dipu this time. And tonight they were told that they would meet and that Dipu would make his own policies public.

And there are also a lot of people around to watch the excitement. They were also whispering: "Don't you see! Quietly, there are so many people?"

"Cut, it's all a rabble. This time, it still depends on Young Master Philip, Lord Andrés, and Lord Sebastian. It's even more reliable with us. What use can these people have? I heard that this man rides in a deer cart every day, lying in a woman's arms and enjoying it, and it's useless!"

"Don't underestimate people. I can gather so much quietly. Even if it's a rabble, it's not easy. ”

"Let's see! When the time comes, he can really see the color, he can not cry his nose, I admire him!"

......

Not only the soldiers were watching, but even the commanders sent their henchmen to blend into the crowd. And the three saints made a collective appearance. Of course, they weren't here to make a name for Dip. Rather, it is ...... Puzzled. "Why did you suddenly pull up people for some reason? What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?"

......

Dressed in an ordinary samurai outfit, Dip walked out of the tent with a smile as he was surrounded by Jose and others. He jumped onto a deer cart in front of the crowd that had untied the bighorn deer and looked around. And the crowd gradually quieted down.

"This expedition is to conquer the Bekaa Valley, but also to occupy my territory. That's why we need to redouble your efforts. Dip's tone is not high, and his appearance is not good-looking, so the opening sentence seems very flat. But then came a storm.

"I hereby declare that every one who is present and who follows me, whether a warrior or a craftsman, will be my apprentice knight. Each probationary knight was given two hundred acres of land. Inheritable, except for the payment of taxes and necessary services, the land will be owned for generations. ”

"Whoa!" the crowd immediately became agitated. Isn't the reason why these people came to rely on Dipu to get land? And the land promised by Dipu has far exceeded the income obtained by ordinary dependence, which makes some people feel uncomfortable, "My lord, is it true?"

And the faces of the onlookers also turned ugly. In the previous expeditions of the dependents, ordinary soldiers were divided into dozens of acres of land at most, and even hundreds of acres were extremely rare. And Dipp raised the bar so high all at once. To tell the truth, if it weren't for their own belongings, the soldiers who were watching would have wanted to come and attach themselves to Dipp.

Dipu smiled and continued, "Of course it's true. So many people are listening, am I going to lie? Even if there are wounds in the expedition, these lands are still given. And the bereavement pension is also counted separately. As for the duties and pensions of the probationary knights, I have a copy to be determined here. Later, if you are interested, you can go to Jose after the meeting to inquire and discuss. If it is not thorough, it can also be added after discussion. Don't worry, do things for me, and I will definitely arrange it. ”

"Hey!" the men burst into laughter. It's also a hard work.,I hope to meet a generous lord.。

"Still!" Dipu smiled and pressed his hands down, "Also, you have hardly ever dealt with me before. I hardly all know either. But it's also a good thing, and I can treat everyone equally. Once again, I declare: this time the best fifty men will be canonized as knights, and each of them will be given a thousand acres of land. And among the knights, the best ten will be my retainers, and three thousand acres of land will be allocated. The same is generational ownership. ”

"Coax!" Such a high reward, such a good opportunity, made everyone's blood boil.

"My lord, how do you become a knight, is there a standard?" someone shouted.

"Score! Look at the exploits. After this expedition, all the merits will be announced, and those who have made meritorious contributions will not be disadvantaged. Dip also replied in a loud voice, "Here are the tentative appointments: Jose, Isaac, Jensen, Matthew, and Moy, and you five are tentatively appointed as retainers." To explain, this is a temporary appointment. If the five of them are good, of course, they will be justified. If the table is poor, the score will be ranked lower, and the grade will be lowered in the future. ”

With so many people, Dipu will definitely have to temporarily carry out formations, and it is also necessary to determine officers at all levels. And Jose, Isaac and Jensen, they are all folk knights, and they are also the henchmen of this time. And Matthew is the head of Elaine's guard, and Moi is the head of Cabonero's guard, so Dip will also appoint it for the time being. Even if it gives face to these three saints, it also has the flavor of differentiation and wooing.

Of course, Dipu believes most in Jose's henchmen, and those two dozen or so people will definitely become knights or even retainers in the future. It is impossible for Dipu to make a bowl of water even. However, this relative fairness is quite good. At least there are so many knights and retainers left.

So after listening to Dipu's words, everyone was gearing up and looking eager to try. If you can be knighted, or even a retainer, it will be a step to the sky. Even Matthew and Moe are very tempted, after all, interests are at the forefront, and few people can do it with disdain.

And among the three saints, the scheming Justina still had a smile on her face. And Caponero and Elaine were both frowning. Dip resorted to the trick of profit, so he dug up a corner of the wall against them, and let them still have a word of suffering. Can you object to this kind of thing? Do you want Matthew and Moi to give up those lands?

And nominally, Caponero, Elaine and Dipu are even more family. Dip, the head of the family, has spoken, and Matthew, Moi and the others can completely pretend to be confused and no longer follow their orders. (To be continued.) )
