Chapter 72 What Can You Do?
As soon as Im said this, everyone at the long table turned their heads and all eyes fell on him.
"What method?"
Richard was also very curious!
The phrase "significantly increase the number of trustworthy people" sounds a bit strange. Did Im also get a cheat code?
Im grinned, his eyes gleaming with undisguised joy.
"My lord."
"Now that there are so many Iridium crops available, we can eat them every day..."
"Then why don't you go to the Wolf Army and recruit all those mediocre candidates like us who have never been able to reach the extraordinary level?"
!
A word to wake up the dreamer!
Richard gasped sharply, then slapped his thigh hard and exclaimed in surprise!
"Yes!"
"How could I have forgotten about them!"
In order to continuously supply fresh blood to the high-ranking legions, the major lords recruit new reserves every year.
At the same time, ordinary soldiers who have been tested for years but still failed to break through to the extraordinary level will be dismissed.
Like Barrett, if he had stayed in the Wolf Army, the only outcome would have been that he would have been laid off after his ten-year service period and become an ordinary person.
but!
His military-style professional training over the years has never faltered!
Richard had witnessed the professional combat skills of these guards when he went down into the mine with the assault team before.
Faced with sudden attacks from monsters, they always remained calm and composed, their offense and defense were well-organized, and their advances and retreats were measured.
This composure and tacit understanding are not something acquired after becoming extraordinary, but rather an instinct honed and refined over many years.
and!
Those who come from the Wolf Army place great importance on honor and loyalty.
Just like Karl back then, facing the fierce onslaught of the Grand Canal, he knew he was no match, yet he still drew his sword against them.
That boldness and the sense of responsibility ingrained in his bones remain vivid in Richard's memory to this day.
Other lords' reserves cannot reach this level, only the Wolf Runners will do their best to cultivate them, which is why the Wolf Runners can rival the Frost Mist.
Not only are they exceptionally strong in combat, but their reserves are also in a class of their own in terms of ideological education and training!
Most importantly, they were all subjects of the Wolves, and Richard was the fifth son of the Wolves, which naturally created a sense of familiarity and closeness between them.
With the added bond of former comrades like Im, the sense of belonging will only be stronger.
Although Karl was ostracized in the military, that was in the high-ranking legions, and had nothing to do with the reserves.
Furthermore, because he came from the Wolf Riders, he still held some prestige among the reserves.
Furthermore.
If these reservists are unable to break through to the extraordinary level, they will be dismissed from the army when their term expires.
But Richard didn't mind!
Given that Chiffon cakes can mass-produce Iridium-based crops, talent and such are simply not a problem.
--Use appetite instead of talent!
A single bite of Iridium crop will make you a novice superhuman soldier; give it a year or two, and it'll probably reach the advanced superhuman level!
Other lords, limited by the scarcity of life-sustaining food, could only select the most talented soldiers, filtering up to the maximum level.
Chiffon collar only needs to cover these abandoned lower limits to gain a group of well-trained combat forces!
Thinking of this.
Richard burst into laughter!
"That's a brilliant idea!"
"Im, you're absolutely brilliant!"
Carl reacted instantly, his face lighting up with surprise. He slammed his hand on the table and exclaimed:
"yes!"
"Those reservists all underwent rigorous training, but were forced to retire because they failed the army's extraordinary tests."
"Recruit them, train them a little, and they'll be ready-made super soldiers!"
Anthony was so excited that he braced himself on the table with both hands, leaned forward, and quickly said:
"Several of the brothers who guarded the city gate with me back then are approaching retirement age!"
"My lord, if you would be willing to recruit them, I guarantee with my life that their loyalty will be absolutely impeccable!"
The atmosphere at the long table instantly reached its peak!
Richard suppressed his excitement, took a deep breath, glanced at everyone, and smiled:
"That's what we'll do!"
"Once I've finished with what I'm doing, I'll personally return to Wolf Marching Territory to recruit those abandoned reserves!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room cheered!
The guards raised their glasses, the crisp sound of the glasses clinking together with the crackling of the campfire, echoing through the night sky.
...
...
Night was falling.
The wind on the wasteland carried a chill, but it couldn't dispel the liveliness of the camp.
Militiamen would occasionally throw large bundles of firewood into the campfire, which even tinged the distant walls with a warm orange hue.
Just then.
The thirty-odd snow rabbits in the camp, regardless of age or gender, all headed towards the campfire.
Without any musical accompaniment, they formed a circle in perfect harmony, dancing gracefully around the campfire under the moonlight.
Her dance moves were lively and adorable.
Their movements were synchronized and uniform.
Tiptoeing, spinning, raising hands—every movement is imbued with the graceful charm of the snow hare.
This unexpected exotic dance instantly attracted everyone's attention.
The serfs were dumbfounded. So this was the show the master had mentioned!
As a serf.
Most of the time they work in the fields and don't have many forms of entertainment. The only time they can see song and dance performances is during the Lord's extraordinary blessing festival.
But many serfs might never experience such a moment in their entire lives.
And tonight.
They not only ate their fill of delicious food, but also witnessed such a novel and exotic dance, which made them cheer and applaud enthusiastically!
The guards were free men, more worldly than the serfs, and had seen many song and dance performances, but this was the first time they had ever seen a dance from a foreign tribe, something so extremely rare.
Furthermore.
The Snow Rabbit tribe is naturally beautiful, with both men and women having delicate features. Their enthusiastic singing and dancing are much more attractive than human dance troupes.
Richard sat in the main seat, one hand supporting his chin, the other holding a silver wine glass, gently swirling the wine inside, leisurely enjoying the rabbit dance.
He had seen this kind of dance before.
I watched quite a few.
Xueyue knew she would be subjected to even more torment from him, but every night she would still dance enthusiastically in front of him.
but...
This made him realize that there were other meanings hidden behind this dance.
really.
Before long, most of the snow rabbits stopped, smiled, and stepped aside, giving up the central position.
Only three young male snow rabbits and two female snow rabbits remained to continue dancing.
The atmosphere suddenly changed.
The dance style of the male snow rabbits instantly changed, no longer the previous graceful and agile, but became rough and passionate.
Every jump and every step he took was full of power, and his eyes revealed an undisguised provocation.
The female snow rabbits' dance became enchanting and alluring, their waists swaying gently, their steps light and graceful, exuding the scent of ripe apples, tempting one to pick them.
The drumbeats grew faster and faster, and the rhythm of the dance became increasingly urgent, until finally the dance almost turned into a chase game.
The male snow rabbits growled and spread their arms to chase after the female snow rabbit.
The female snow rabbits giggled, running and dodging while turning back to wink at each other.
In the end, one of the female snow rabbits couldn't escape the pursuit and was caught by a male snow rabbit.
He let out an excited cheer, ignoring the stares of others, and hoisted the captured female snow rabbit onto his shoulder, striding into the shadows behind the warehouse and disappearing from everyone's sight.
The snow rabbits watching nearby burst into enthusiastic laughter.
Whistles and cheers mingled together, seemingly witnessing the birth of a newlywed couple.
This scene left all the serfs dumbfounded, their mouths agape, their faces filled with shock!
Not only them, but even the guards were incredulous.
The Snow Rabbit Clan's unrestrained courtship methods are unimaginable in any territory, let alone at the lord's victory celebration.
Karl frowned, turned to look at the lord in the main seat, and said in a low voice.
"Sir, should they be punished?"
Yes!
discipline!
The word, when spoken by Karl, even carried a hint of chilling menace!
The noise in the camp instantly disappeared, and the lively atmosphere suddenly became suffocating!
Richard didn't respond immediately, but just sighed silently. His good mood from just now had vanished completely. He picked up his wine glass and took a small sip of wine.
