The Defeated Dragon

Chapter 455 War and Justice (second)

In terms of social status, the status of mercenaries belongs to the middle class and is similar to that of master craftsmen who possess irreplaceable skills.

Second only to upper nobility, upper and middle magicians, knightless officials, artists indispensable to upper society. Beyond middle- and lower-level servants, craftsmen, workers, businessmen, rats, and underprivileged serfs. These mercenaries are mostly depraved knights.

There are no mercenary groups in the Grand Duchy of Sapphire and naturally there are no mercenaries.

However, in countries on the continent, mercenary groups are widespread and are often established in the name of escort trade, hunting monsters, hunting elves, etc. But covertly, mercenary groups are the most direct participants in the slave trade movement, often playing the role of bandits and robbers.

Lester doesn't know how the mercenary corps originated to this point.

But after a conversation with the Count, his knowledge of the mercenary group grew clearer - the mercenary group, like rats, was an extension of nobility - and if the mouse was an intelligence organization, the role of the mercenary was more like a vibrant social organization.

One of the disadvantages of fragmentation is that there is no governing relationship between the territories, but rather there is a great deal of competition.

Many lords even have all sorts of personal vendettas, so that mercenary groups work well when they don't send knights directly to plunder each other. Mercenary groups are also of great interest, and there is no shortage of people on the continent. In every war, the slave trade is a lucrative business.

Even many local lords look forward to the Grand Duchy of Sapphires plundering - as long as they do not plunder their territory.

At this point, they will work wildly with the Invasion Knights to trade in what the Invasion Knights have stolen from elsewhere, using serfs that can be caught everywhere. Every war between the Eagle Kingdom and the Iron Ridge Kingdom is the most active moment of the mercenary regiment.

These mercenary groups do not dare to invade the castles of the territory, but looting the serfs can do so.

“It can be said that when we invade this part of the Gulf of Sardinia, in addition to the resistance of the lords in this part of the world, the lords and mercenaries of the surrounding area will only wave the tableware and share with us the wealth of the Gulf of Sardinia.” The Earl whispers, "which is also the bass of our annual attack on the kingdom of the eagle. ”

He looked seriously at Lister.

Finally found the feeling of the father teaching his son and went on to say: “And some lords of the Gulf of Sardinia, we can even sit down at night to talk about business during the day war. ”

Lester doesn't understand: "Why? ”

The Earl replied, "How do you think the aristocracy governs the territory, or what do we depend on to live? Living a thousand times better than a civilian? ”

“The aristocratic domination of the territory relies on the cultivation of fighting qi. ”

“Where does Qi training come from? ”

“from… land. ”

“Yes, you're smart enough to see the nature of the problem. The Count praised it and said," The nobility depends on the land, from which all resources are sought. Either from their own land, from others, from serfdom or from knights. ”

“What does this have to do with the Lord of Sardinia Bay, with our side of the war, our side of the deal? ”

“Now that war is inevitable, some lords will certainly find an opportunity to stop the damage, the great lords can pass on the loss to the little lords by dealing with us, the little lords can pass on to the civilians, or to other lords… undeniably, they have lost the noble qualities of the knights. ”

……

Do knights have noble qualities?

Liszt is already confused.

After a conversation with the Count, knowing the background of the mercenary group, he felt the similarity of history in his trance. Although the world is completely different from the Earth, his country is also irrelevant to the Earth. But in essence, the relationship between the Grand Duchy of Sapphire and the Kingdom of the Eagle is observed.

Why don't you taste the chaos of the Ming Dynasty?

During the Ming Dynasty, Japanese origin and frequent attacks on the southeastern coast of China, however, the turmoil reached the middle and late stages, and there were few real turmoil. According to the Historical Book, only three tenths of them are real, and the rest are fake, namely, the Ming rebels.

After all, the Japanese wanderers who formed the early Japs were unfamiliar with the life of the southeast coast and could not form a fighting force at all. Only in collaboration with locals can landings be looted everywhere.

In the Ming Dynasty's professional book "Preparation Chart Edition", the leaders of the fourteen shares of Ming Kwok are actually all Ming Dynasties.

The underlying reason for this is the imposition of a sea ban on the Ming Dynasty, which prevents coastal inhabitants from eating the sea from the sea and from surviving on the grass. Plus, merchants are seafarers when the ban is relaxed and pirates when the ban is strict for their benefit. Even large Serb households are implicitly connected, causing centuries-old chaos.

This magical world.

The Grand Duchy of Sapphire's pioneering decree has some unusual similarities with the confusion of the Yakuza.

“While we can take a lot of resources from the kingdom of the eagle, the wealth that is truly created on the land has not been plundered by the lords of the eagle kingdom… we have probably just grabbed some mines, bought some serfs, and all the rest has been diverted by the local nobility. ”

Ultimately.

In response to one of the words in the Yuan song - Xing, people suffer; Death, people suffer.

Pioneering orders are called, and it is the civilians and serfs who work so hard who are really plundered. Lester even thought, "Is the annual war between the Iron Ridge kingdom and the Eagle kingdom some sort of Anglo-French centennial war on Earth?” In the Middle Ages, there was more than a hundred years of war between England and France.

Noblemen wage the Knight War for their benefit.

Naturally, the ultimate victims are civilians.

As he pondered the war, Lester suddenly sensed a sense of happiness, even though his soul came from Earth and had nothing to do with the world.

But soon he got excited.

“I do nothing and civilians are still squeezed by nobility; if I struggle and succeed in riding dragons in the future, I have not tried to bring a new pattern to the world. ”

Hold your fist.

His eyes became stronger: "My participation in war is a just act as long as I have justice in my heart and can bring a better life to the civilian population in the future!” This self-analysis, while decorated as an act of war for the benefit, is also a picture of his heart.

The standard of living of the civilian population under the Territory is absolutely far greater than that of the civilian population in other Territories.

His goal is to ride the dragon and explore this wonderful world, not to take the saint for himself, but not to become a cold-blooded nobleman for profit.

While struggling for the dragon riding cause, it brings the world the beauty, why not do it.

Wipe away the beliefs in your mind.

He restored his usual calm, stood at the bow with a glass of juice and admired the blue sky and the white clouds and the beavers. Four days passed and the fleet arrived smoothly in Bullshoe City, Iron Shoe Island.

Final replenishment will be made here.

Six days later, the sword is pointing to the mainland!
