There is not much to say about what happened next at the banquet, except that at the end, Larvin came forward and said a few words. He gave a verbal praise to his youngest son for his outstanding performance on the battlefield, and then expressed his gratitude to Kordak and several others for their contribution to the Costa Fortress.
Finally, Emperor Ralvin gave Kordak the position of Captain of the Independent Brigade. This independent group had three squadrons, two of which were infantry, each with about five hundred men, and the last squadron was a knight's squadron, with three hundred knights.
Although there were only 1,300 people in total, half of the soldiers assigned to Kordak by Larvin were carefully selected from the troops deployed to the rear for repairs, and the remaining half were from the Hawke Empire. The competition is for contestants who have achieved good results in the low-level group, so even if they are new recruits, most of them are warriors who have achieved some success in training.
Therefore, Kordak's team is surprisingly high in terms of level alone, with an average level of six! One level higher than the average level of Empire soldiers!
Don't underestimate this level. Counting one person, this is one level higher. If there are 1,300 people, isn't it 1,300 levels higher? As long as the base number is huge, small differences will also cause obvious strength and weakness.
Therefore, although the number of people is not large, the Hawke Empire's approach has shown that it attaches great importance to Kordak and the others. This is not only a reward for them, but also inspires other Reaper teams still on the front line to work harder.
There was just one problem, and that was that Larvin originally gave the handling of this matter to Joffrey. This guy has never been very fond of mercenaries, not to mention that Joffrey was scolded by Annelotte because of Kordak during the competition. In addition, Regnar, who has always been close to Annelotte, is also a member of Kordak's team.
Therefore, Joffrey instinctively did not have a good impression of the Kordak team. This time, he also used some small tricks when doing this.
Of course, Joffrey did not dare to disobey Ralphin's will. At that time, what Ralphin asked was to select the soldiers with stronger combat effectiveness in each unit, and Joffrey did so. But because there are not many people, there is a lot of room for choice. And Joffrey took advantage of this loophole.
The selected soldiers did have good fighting qualities, but under Joffrey's intentional or unintentional hints. The leaders of each legion were smart enough to kick out the troublemakers or thorns in their ranks. These people are good at fighting, but they are very easy to cause trouble. Disobedience and disobedience are commonplace for them.
Originally, having one or two such guys in a team would greatly affect the team's overall discipline and obedience. And now they are gathered in hundreds or even thousands in an independent brigade? God knows if they will have some weird chemical reaction!
But Joffrey didn't care about this. He completed all the tasks assigned by Emperor Larvin. As for whether this group of soldiers can be taken, and whether they can be taken well or not, that is what Kordak should worry about. If he can't do it well, it means he is incompetent in commanding troops!
The reason why Joffrey made things so difficult for Kordak was not because of any deep hatred between him and Kordak. It was simply because Joffrey didn't like Kordak. Anyway, he is the prince of the empire. If he makes things difficult for him twice and punishes him twice depending on who he dislikes, what else can he say
And because of this boring reason, Joffrey will regret that he offended a big shot in the military in the future. Of course, these are all things for later. At least in the near future, it is Kordak who will have a headache.
Moreover, except for Kordak's clear duties, Vera and Eberron did not have any appointments. They were just included in Kordak's independent brigade. As for what duties were assigned, Lal Wen said that this matter could be arranged by Kordak himself. It is worth noting that Larvin never mentioned Regnar.
Logically speaking, Regner's performance in the Reaper team is on par with Kordak's. One of them showed outstanding leadership and command skills when they went south, and the other showed his super personal qualities. If you want to select the most outstanding person in the Reaper team, Regnar is even a few points better than Kordak.
But Larvin never mentioned the reward for Regnar. In this regard, the people present did not express much surprise. The people who can appear here must be in high positions, and they are now gradually understanding the identity of this young man named Regnar.
Regnar Dark Elegy is a disciple of Veles Deep Shadow, the president of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. He and his team once openly opposed the Mystical Eye, the largest human guild in the Lance continent, and Regnar even killed two high-level mages and a high-level knight with only his mid-level strength.
Such a record makes these powerful people feel numb even just thinking about it. Cross-level kills may be common, but crossing levels is a bit scary. What's more, he has a record of fighting two high-level players alone? Therefore, in terms of performance alone, Regnar is even more gorgeous than the red flame magician Saron. It's not that Regnar is stronger than Saron, it's just that Saron has high-level strength as soon as he comes out of the mountain. He has no level to surpass. Is it possible that this guy can still kill Sanctuary or Legend with high-level strength? !
But even so, there is no doubt about Regner's strength. Moreover, according to some information coming from Lance continent. It seems that Verles is very fond of this disciple of his. If this is the case, then Regner's intention of being sent to the Kino Continent is very obvious.
That is the Military Intelligence Agency. This organization was originally established jointly by the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild and the Hawke Empire. Now it seems that after Villeless has taken a prototype of the matter here, he plans to let Regnar come over to experience it.
Therefore, although Larvin did not make clear arrangements for Regnar. But everyone present basically understood where Regner was going. After all, it was that kind of place, so it was better not to mention it lightly.
All three of Kordak accepted the empire's arrangements for them, and declared on the spot that they would devote themselves to the empire. Everything went very smoothly. Of course, Eberron's inner resistance was naturally ignored.
Several people left after the dinner, but Larvin was very thoughtful in this regard. After leaving the palace, a carriage took them directly to the hotel. Although it was not a palace, it was still a very high-end hotel in Merinder. The environment and facilities made the three bumpkins, Regnar, Kordak, and Eberron, dumbfounded.
Moreover, Inelise may have been excited to see Regnar come back, and she also clamored to stay here. As for Annelotte, she said she was still used to living in the Wind Mansion, so she chose to go back there.
"Won't Anne stay?" Regnar said cautiously. If Inelise's analysis was correct, the Frost Girl should still be very angry with herself. So he was extremely careful when he spoke, for fear of accidentally provoking Annelotte.
"No, since you've come back, it's better to leave Ini under your care." Annelotte said coldly: "And I'm more accustomed to living in the Wind Mansion."
Since the nominal investigation and research by the Military Intelligence Agency ended, Annelotte and Inelise moved back to the Wind Mansion. After all, it was my home, and staying there was much more comfortable than facing those gloomy guys from the Military Intelligence Department all day long.
"Yes, yes, Anne, go home and live with me!" Malloryt quickly came up to talk.
Annelotte glanced at the old guy but said nothing.
"Ignored..." Malloryt turned into a pillar of salt on the spot.
"Then..." Regnar forced a smile and said, "Okay then, I will visit you tomorrow."
Annelotte didn't speak. She glanced at Regnar, then turned and left.
"Annie, wait for me." Malolite hurriedly caught up.
Regnar never imagined that he would sleep with Inelise the night before leaving Merindel. On his first night back today, he still slept with the little girl.
What's even more devastating is that Inelise's actions were almost exactly the same as the night before Regnar left. The little girl held Regnar's right arm and just stared at Regnar, which made Regnar feel hot in his heart.
"Yini..." Regnar swallowed, and then said with difficulty: "It's hard for my brother to sleep with you like this..."
"Huh? Why?" Enelise blinked her big eyes.
"This..." Regnar didn't know what to say.
"Hmph!" Inelise seemed to suddenly understand something, with a somewhat contemptuous smile on her face: "Brother, you are a big bad guy!"
"What happened to me?" Regnar suddenly felt wronged.
"Are you thinking something bad about Ini?" Inelis seemed to rub her small breast against Regnar's arm on purpose.
"???!!" Regnar was horrified. When did this little girl know so much? !
"Don't treat Yini like a child!" Inelise feigned anger and patted Regnar's chest: "I know many things!"
"Hehehehe! I don't see that you know a lot!" Regnar would never allow himself to be weak on this kind of matter. He touched Inelise's face with a smirk on his face: "You bastard Xiao Nizi, let me see how much you know."
"..." Inelise's little face instantly turned blood red. She only knew a little bit about things between men and women. Just now, she wanted to tease Regnar, but she didn't expect that Regnar would turn to guard. The little girl was caught off guard by this shot, and now she was also very scared.
"How's it going?" Regnar deliberately moved closer to Inelise, hum! Little guy, your breasts haven’t developed yet and you come here to tease me? See how I deal with you!
Enelise closed her eyes and said nothing. She was now nervous, scared and excited. Although Regnar looked lustful now, to Inelise, this seemed to be an encouragement. At least, she could be sure that she was not unattractive in Regnar's eyes. But if Regnar really continues to take the initiative, what will Inelise do
