In Yalfheim, idealistic young people can find their way through the military, work, or government agitators. But at Charlemagne, that's not the case at all.

Contrary to the conditions on which Alfheim relied to establish the rudimentary modern government and army, Charlemagne's army appointed senior commanders not on merit, but on the basis of nobility or favoritism.

Those who have a strong character and are full of independent spirit are not only not promoted in Charlemagne's army, but are excluded. In peacetime, such people are seen by their superiors as restless and difficult to get along with, and leave bad comments in their files. In the long run, those who are able to do so are not promoted and often end up leaving the military. Most of the remaining important positions in the army are soft-egged, wasteful, and obedient fools.

In Charlemagne's Army, there were three ways to quickly climb to the position of a senior commander: a huge fortune, a large backer in Versailles, a family of noble blood.

Most of Charlemagne's military commanders had their origins in luxurious hotels, offices in Versailles, and chambers of the court, and no matter how ridiculous the demands they made of their troops, they were able to hold positions of office until they were called by the grace of the Mother to no longer be pampered in their positions.

On the other side of the corruption and incompetence of the army's top officials is the middle and lower ranks of the army, which have a strong spirit of serfdom.

It is the sergeant who plays an important role in the management of the soldiers. Most of them were young people from families of small landowners or small merchants. They were not satisfied with their social status or material security in military life, and they left the army immediately after the completion of their military service. As a direct result of the extreme shortage of non-commissioned officers in the army. In turn, it makes it more difficult to manage troops and weakens the combat effectiveness of the army.

The sergeants are like this, and the treatment of the soldiers is even worse. Poor young people in the countryside are drafted into the army and trained in verbal abuse, whipping, and slapping. The annual salary was only 2 Égü10 livres, and the undergarments and boots issued by the troops were of poor quality, so the soldiers had to buy some clothing on their own. Soldiers can barely survive without their families.

"The situation is even worse in the South, where there are signs at the entrances to public places such as parks and restaurants that say 'Soldiers and dogs are not allowed' – where soldiers are allowed to go before they enlist. Army soldiers often cry bitterly after receiving letters from home, and then desert or commit suicide. Because the son is far away, the whole family is not struggling with hunger. Even if there are brothers and sisters who have starved to death. ”

Nidhogg smiled with a leisurely wry. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the chocolate off his lips and spread his hands.

"So you have to use external expansion to solve the problem?"

Roland frowned, and in order to suppress the unbearable anger and disgust in his chest, the young man exhaled softly. Say what Niederhogg has to say.

"Because the corrupt old army is embarrassed. And they don't want to make the army outside of their control stronger. So with Titans, this new army of poor youths recruited from among the civilian population was best suited for expansion, and for the sake of some people's political gains. ”

Charlemagne's hot-blooded youth is not just a mess, shaving the hair of the women who slept with the enemy when the invading army is finished, and advocating "freedom" depends on who gives the most money to the-stirring stick.

They did not have the same rigorous and systematic education as the soldiers of the Defence Forces. But it was a group of romantic militarists. Give them a good enough weapon, go through rigorous training, and get a cohesive core strong enough, and this army will wreak havoc on the world like never before.

These hot-headed "vast numbers of aspiring youths" who are counting on the guidance of the military banner to make a fortune abroad need not only an eloquent and demagogic politician, but also a commander with leadership ability and outstanding military ability, and a person who can lead them from victory to victory.

Judging by the known historical common sense, a person who has both the ability to be a political and military commander is.

"One...... Emperor. ”

Nidhogg's tone trembled a little—from irrepressible excitement.

Although most Emperors did not possess those two talents, Nidhogg happened to know of an archon who met the Emperor's standards in every way.

The honorific title of that one was changed from "Your Excellency" to "Your Majesty", and the fools shouted "All.hail.Lilin!" three times...... Nidhogg was intoxicated by the wonderful sight.

As soon as he saw Niederhogg's intoxicated look, Roland knew that he had fallen into his own fantasies again, and had to drink his black coffee.

"The Emperor...... Is it?"

Unfamiliar words tumbled on the tip of his tongue, and Roland looked out the window absentmindedly.

Prince Bernard was not destined to be associated with the title of Emperor, and even if Alfheim had hyped him as someone destined to become Emperor, it would only make the prince more dependent on them, in preparation for the eventual relinquishment of the title of "Majesty" to the right one.

"Don't worry too much, even if we don't do anything. Human beings will still be born on their own, compete, fight, and then die. We just intervene in this cycle and add some inducement elements to let the world slowly move towards a better, more stable new order. ”

Freed from the excitement of his head, Nidhogg regained his detached posture.

Just like Li Lin.

Roland knew very well that the black dragon was imitating his adoptive father, and the imitation was not in place, but just this already made him feel uncomfortable.

The boy picked up the coffee cup, and the bitter drink somewhat diluted the disobedience burning in his throat.

"Anyway, how is your school's 'Harem Raiders' going?"

Black coffee squirted out, blackening the "barrier" in front of Nidhogg.

The topic jumped so much that no one could stand it.

"Suddenly...... What strategy to say......"

Roland coughed, and Nidhogg leisurely crossed his feet, picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, and then showed a displeased expression.

"It's cold...... It's bitter. ”

"Who told you to eat sweets all the time. ”

"At this time, you should gently and kindly hand over a cup of coffee with double cream, and ask me to provide you with a strategy process or a reference book or something, it's really not clever. ”

"Where did you come from, a harsh mother-in-law!"

"Her Royal Highness is the most difficult to attack, and the brutal little Lori has not reached the age suitable for the end of the battle - it is understandable that these two did not fall. That big-knight girl is not very difficult, why hasn't she succeeded in pushing it so far?"

Accumulating an infinitely melancholy sigh, Nidhogg reveals the face of a mother who is sorrowful for her older bachelor son.

"Let's not talk about how this strategy difficulty ranking came out.,It's said that I'll seek to raid underage girls, including little girls...... It's not a monkey in heat, it's a pervert, right?"

Standing on the high ground of ethics, Roland vigorously waved the moral banner to fight back.

Roland is about to turn 16 years old, and like ordinary boys, he is interested in the opposite sex, and he is also considering abandoning his virginity at the right time.

That being said, Roland also has a moral bottom line.

If you don't like that girl, don't do that.

"So, which one do you really like? Boba Knight, Tsundere Princess, Broken Egg Lori, Chariot Wolf Girl - you don't want to step on four boats at once, do you? I think it's going to turn into a Shura field. ”

In fact, he is already in the Shura field, Gloria sharpens her greatsword every day, Venia is picking out high heels with sharp heels, and Nona is preparing to return home to test the 128mm chariot gun......

The most peaceful was Minerva, for there was no Roland in her eyes......

I'm afraid there is no more terrifying Shura field than this.

"Besides, even if you can settle that group of ladies, you have to ensure your income, love is like war, it is a money-burning activity. You don't want to rely on the pocket money given by Master Li Lin to gnaw on the old people, so how about trying to run a store and supporting yourself?"

Nidhogg pulled out a bulging pink envelope from the inner pocket of his suit and placed it on the table, pushing it in front of Roland, with the words "Nidhogg's Loving Aid Communication" written in lovely colors and floral letters, with a red heart sign drawn at the end......

For this suspicious decoration and title, Roland couldn't even complain, rubbed his temples and asked:

"What the hell are you up to?"

"Nothing, take part of your savings to invest, as for the ...... of the project"

The black dragon narrowed his eyes and smiled ambiguously.

"How's ......the café? A café with a Roland character. ”

For no reason, Roland shuddered. (To be continued......)

PS: Guess the small theater

Li Lin: The winners of the last prize quiz are Jin Leifeng and Thirteen Cats, congratulations to the two!

Nidhogg: Today's question 1.What is the origin of the slogan "All.hail.Lilin!"? Question 2: What does "aid communication" mean when I give Roland a loving aid communicator?
