Eagle Fort, the lord's study.
Kane was staring at the map in front of him, wondering when the Manvira army would return.
"Boom, boom, boom."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Kane said.
Immediately, the door was opened, and Catherine and Marcus walked in.
They saluted Kane and began to report.
"My lord, we have brought back all the people under the leadership of Baron Obote," Catherine said.
"Oh!? Tell me what happened there?" Kane asked.
"Yes, there was a civil strife in the territory, which was caused by the disappearance of Baron Obote, and then led to the seizure of power by the Baroness and the Knight Commander."
"So they succeeded?"
Catherine shook her head and said, "No, their actions angered the captain of the soldiers who supported Baron Obote.
Kane sighed: "It's normal to seize power, but it's a pity that the other party didn't win over the soldier captain, otherwise this baronie should be in charge of another one now."
"Yes, after the death of the two Transcendents, the baroness couldn't stand the torture of the surviving soldiers, so she killed herself," Catherine replied.
Kane said thoughtfully: "It's interesting, this group of soldiers even increased the speed of the destruction of the territory after the death of the leader."
"Yes, but thanks to them, we were able to bring back the citizens of Obote," Marcus said.
Kane nodded and continued: "Well, the two of you did a good job. How many of the other party's citizens did you bring back here?"
Catherine thought for a while, and reported the number in her heart to Kane: "My lord, a total of 108 people came back with us, including about 67 men and 41 women."
Kane said with a smile: "For a baronial village, the number of people is a bit scarce, but considering the civil strife, it's not bad to have so many people."
As he said that, he turned his head and asked Catherine again, "Have you arranged for this group of leaders?"
"Yes, my lord."
"Well, find a time tomorrow and select adult males among them to join the army. The practice method is not taught for the time being, and the soldiers are strictly prohibited from mentioning this matter with them. Let's see how loyal they are to our Ruijite leader. .”
"Understood, my lord."
After reporting on Obote's situation, the three speculated about Manvila's actions, and ended the meeting just now.
The placement of the people is a very important issue. Kane not only entrusted it to Catherine, but also asked the housekeeper Jess to help her.
If Catherine has any food or other questions, she can ask Jess.
Of course, with the addition of these leaders, Kane will be able to make up for the lack of troops before, but they still need to train for some time. Patrol.
In any case, Leader Rigit is gradually getting back on track.
In the afternoon, Catherine went back to Mai Ke Village to check the resettlement situation of Obote's people and observe how they got along with the villagers of Mai Ke Village.
After seeing that everything was in good condition, she planned with the old village chief to open up the wheat fields for these new villagers.
The old village head proposed to develop the area in the south of the village, where the soil is fertile and suitable for growing the unique wheat in the village.
At the same time, the refugees from Obote also brought brand new spinach seeds, which can also be planted here. If the development is done properly, there will be a steady stream of spinach sources in Rijit Territory.
Of course, it is only in the planning stage now, and the official implementation will have to wait until a few days later.
After arranging for the soldiers to send supplies for nearly a month to the newcomers, Catherine and the others left with their grateful eyes.
The next day, early in the morning.
Catherine led the soldiers to Mai Ke Village again, but this time it was different, she came to the village to select soldiers.
After gathering all the citizens, she said loudly: "I, the leader of Rijite, have recently clashed with the troops of the traitor Manvila several times, and there have been some losses in the supply of soldiers, so I am hereby preparing to select qualified reserve soldiers from among you. "
"Joining our army, you can not only enjoy three delicious meals a day, but also get a salary of 45 Marion copper coins every month. Those who want to join the army can take a step forward."
This group of newcomers was worrying about how to get money and food, but Catherine came to recruit them unexpectedly.
At first, many men with fairly healthy physiques walked out of the crowd and came to Catherine.
Catherine, who has been a soldier for many years, naturally knows the real physique of each person. She checked them one by one and confirmed the candidates.
"you can."
"you can."
"You can not."
Fortunately, being a soldier does not require a strong physique, so after excluding some candidates who appear to have physical diseases, most of the men were retained by her.
After such an investigation, a total of about 43 adult males were recruited, and they will join Kane's troops as a reserve source of soldiers.
After collecting these soldiers, she also comforted the rest of the crowd with regretful faces: "Don't worry about those who were not selected. In a few days, the territory will arrange personnel to lead you to open up new fields, and then you can sow seeds." The seeds you brought."
Hearing Catherine's words, the rest of the new settlers in front of them breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid of how they and others would survive when the food sent by the territory was eaten up.
After the selection was over, Catherine led the soldiers and the selected reserve soldiers back to Eagle Fort to conduct a new round of tests to determine their future arms.
Yes, even ordinary soldiers are divided into arms, just like shield soldiers responsible for defense and spearmen responsible for offense.
Catherine will decide which arms they will become in the future based on their physical fitness and reaction speed, and then conduct corresponding training.
The reserve soldiers who walked into the castle for the first time looked around curiously. After all, for civilians like them, there were not many opportunities to walk into the castle.
"Give me the eyes ahead!"
Catherine's scolding made them startled, and they stared ahead, not daring to look around again.
A group of people walked to the training ground in the atrium of the castle. This is a training ground specially built for soldiers in the territory. On weekdays, all soldiers' training is basically carried out here.
"Charles!" Catherine called the adjutant beside her.
"Yes, Captain, what are your orders?"
"This is the newly recruited recruits in the territory. You are in charge of their physical fitness and reaction tests, and then distinguish them, understand?"
"Understood, Captain."
Seeing that the other party understood her order, Catherine left.
