Chapter 54: Reorganization and Servant Assistance

In the central square of the Sloph Bastide there was a sea of humans. It was the third day since Lorist's group occupied the bastide.

In the middle of the square stood about 700 slave soldiers wielding spears with their family members all gathered beside them in the square, the, along with thousands of plus slaves who worked in the bastide's vineyard.

Appearing before all of them on the balcony of a building overlooking the center of the square was Lorist who was seen holding an iron loudspeaker in his hands. On the second day the bastide was conquered, his armed forces had moved completely to the bastide from the camp in the pine forest. With other things in the way, what followed was the reorganization of the troops. Lorist intended to give a speech to the slaves present and inspire the hopes and dreams within them as well as the confidence for them to join him on a trip to the Northlands.

Placing a loudspeaker into his mouth, he said, “I want to introduce myself. I'm Baron Norton, the head of the Raging Bears Roaring family in the Northlands. ”Lorist introduced himself while shamelessly adding that he was the Norton chieftain even though the official succession ceremony had not been implemented.

"I believe that many of you here understood back then that my knights had paid quite a price to free people like you from the slave traders in Port Nupite along with the members your family to join us on the way to the Northlands and promise you your freedom when we get there. However, what I don't expect is for us to experience the onslaught of these stupid slaves who want to usurp your birthright and treat you like people nothing more than products and properties that are purposeful the main thing is to make them profitable.

“Before I can send reinforcements to your side, you have managed to fend off the attacks of the slaves despite not being well equipped and managed to keep the camp safe before my arrival. After that, you have also managed to swarm the camp of the slaves and even occupied this bastide, which is their main base. Throughout the entire process, you have successfully fulfilled your responsibilities and complied with the rules that we have set and completed the tasks that we have given you. Your performance has truly won me sincere respect, and also earned yourself the freedom you deserve.

"As the head of the Norton Family, I, Baron Norton, hereby declare that from today onwards, you are no longer a slave and not a proud and noble warrior of the Norton Family ……"

“Yeahh! …… ”All the slave soldiers on the plaza gave a loud cheer that shook the eardrums of everyone present.

Lorist waited for a while and gestured for the crowd to calm down. “At the time we reach the Northlands, your family will be treated as a free citizen and will be eligible to enjoy the required allowances for Norton Family Armed Forces family members. You will also be assigned a house and farm and will be able to live the rest of your life in peace ... ”.

At that moment, the family members of the slave soldiers cheered loudly as well.

“During the fight against these slaves, 17 of our heroic warriors have sacrificed their lives for our victory along with four others who were wounded and maimed as a result. However, the Norton Family will not forget the contribution and loyalty of our soldiers. Family members of fallen soldiers are still entitled to family care with members of our army and will also receive 1 large silver each month as a pension for up to twenty years. This also applies to disabled soldiers, but they will be able to continue receiving pensions for the rest of their lives. My policy will not change. ”

The family soldiers were all moved by the speech with some of the fallen soldier family members crying. It seemed obvious that they were quite worried about being left behind by the master as they would effectively become a burden on the convoy. For normal walking warriors who lived their lives walking on ropes, their greatest concern was the fate of their family members after their deaths on the battlefield. If they were to serve under a generous master, their family might receive some silver coins in exchange for their loss. But for the selfish masters who did not care about the welfare of their families, they would not only blame the loss of the battle on their own soldiers, either, they might even sell a family member of a fallen soldier to a slave merchant for a small profit.

The promises Lorist made were truly unprecedented in the history of the Grindia Continent. It was common knowledge that when the number of fallen soldiers reached tens of thousands, the cost of retirement would increase to a rather large amount that would become an unbearable burden on the ruler. In the midst of the war-torn times, no master would dare to make such a promise to their soldiers.

In reality, Lorist had had a pretty big fight with Charade about this matter. Even Potterfang was against Lorist's decision, citing his experience in the Whitelion Legion that the fallen warrior family members were only paid one year of the soldier's salary in a lump sum and not for a span of twenty years as Lorist had decided.

Lorist then started a battle with the slaves. By the time he had killed more than 30 people alone, which was not even half the number of people the enemy had, the slaves were crushed and immediately retreated. After the attacks of Terman and Els, they kill half of their troops but sustain no casualties at all, apart from two comedians who have injured themselves by stumbling.

Lorist told Charade and Potterfang at that time that he wanted to cultivate the kind of soldiers who were willing to fight to their last breath and would not give up even during the worst of circumstances, to the extent that they would happily sacrifice their own lives just to give their own troops the slightest age in battle, unlike the slaves they had fought who turned around and ran away during the battle it cost them. Only such an army could become a force to be reckoned with and prevent other forces from preying on the Norton Family and make them think twice whether it would actually cause them more losses rather than profit should they decide to provoke the Nortons.

And in order to build that army, Lorist said that the first thing to deal with was to ease the worries and entanglements of the soldiers so that they would not hesitate to perish for the sake of their families, which is the core of the retirement plan that he has in mind centered around. He also told Charade and Potterfang that the pension fund would not be as big a burden as they thought: retiring for twenty years for fallen warriors would only amount to 240 big silvers, that equals a total of 12 gold Ford.

Although Ford's 12 gold might not seem like a large sum to a soldier on the battlefield, it would be able to provide their family with 20 years of security and a comfortable life. In addition, pensions should be distributed gradually and not all at once. It was similar to the Norton Family borrowing 12 gold Fords and paying interest on just one big silver a month and the money could be used to develop many things in power. A large silver flower per fallen warrior was actually a relatively small amount.

It was at that moment that Charade and Potterfang realized the real benefits of the plan and felt that they did not think as far as Lorist. Lorist also mentioned that this was only the first step, and that there were still many things that had to be managed within the family's armed forces such as educating the soldiers to obey orders and regulations, and that there were still many things that had to be managed within the family's armed forces such as educating the soldiers to obey orders and regulations, as well as developing a sense of pride and belonging to them in the Norton Family's armed forces. However, it was not something that could be done in a short period of time and should be gradually nurtured and polished from long training and participation in battles.

As the cheers from the people in the square calmed down, Lorist once again raised his loudspeaker and said, "The family army, Northland is still a long way away and the journey is bound to be difficult. Before we continue our march, you will have to undergo further reorganization and training. I'll give you a helmet to protect yourself and a sharp weapon for you to cut down anyone who dares to stand in our way. Whether they are bandits or greedy kings who dare to set their sights on us, they will undoubtedly end up as ashes and dust under the wheels of our chariots! Nothing can stop us from coming home! I promise that I will not leave any of you on behalf of Raging Bear! We will definitely return to the Northlands and live the rest of our lives in happiness! "

The crowd in the square instantly exploded and started shouting, “Norton! Norton! …… ”

Once again raising the horn to his mouth, Lorist spoke to the slaves who had been freed from the enemy bastides and camps. “There are no slaves in the Norton Family, and neither will the family ever deal with slaves. Therefore, I declare the slaves freed by us from the camp and the free men and women of the earth! ”

Once again the people in the crowd cheered loudly.

“However, even though you have regained your freedom, you will not be allowed to leave first and temporarily must remain in this bastide until the day we leave for the Northlands. At that point, we will also provide people who want to leave with funds for transportation and food. If you have nowhere else to return, we also welcome you to join our Army and let your family enjoy the benefits of being one of our soldiers. For those who do not wish to stay, you will be assigned work and paid for your efforts before we depart. ”

He then put the loudspeaker down and waved to the crowd, triggering loud applause and cheers once again before he turned around and left the balcony.

“Giving a speech in front of a lot of people is still a first for me. I was so nervous, "murmured Lorist, before receiving the linen cloth that Shadekampf passed by and wiping his face with it.

The sitting room on the second floor of the building was currently fully seated with Charade leaning against the soft sofa and Terman and Yuriy sitting beside him. Opposite them, Potterfang and his two colleagues sat down with the people in the room who were 38 senior students from Dawn Academy, some of whom were still wearing bandages from the wounds they had suffered.

Els and Patt were not present at the meeting because they were assigned to patrol the area while Reidy took Alisa to the park in the bastide for a walk. Howard on the other hand, stood beside Lorist as his personal servant with a serious expression on his face.

Other than them, Engelich was seen leaning against the wall in a corner of the room with her beautiful granddaughter beside her, patiently waiting to hear what Lorist had in mind for them.

Lorist sat in his chair and Shadekampf stood in his place beside Howard.

"So, we will execute it according to what we have been discussing for the past two days," Lorist said. "Knight Pog, I will assign the task of reorganizing 500 heavy armored battalions for you. ”

Potterfang stood up and saluted before he said, “I will not disappoint you. ”

“Yuriy, the reorganization of the 60-man light cavalry should be accelerated and not taken lightly as that unit will serve as an eye and ear for our troops. ”

"Yes, sir. Rest assured, ” replied Yuriy when he woke up.

"Terman, your knight brigade is a bit too small with only 14 people in it. How about this, let each of your knights choose two officers who will be given the rank of bodyguard when their War Forces reach the rank of Silver. If they obtained achievements, they would also be allowed to join the ranks of the family knights. ”

Of the 38 senior students from the academy, only the other 13 and Terman officially received the training to become a knight. When the knights acted as the main attacking force on the battlefield, Lorist decided to add a few more to their ranks even if they were not well trained so the brigade would appear more domineering and threatening on the battlefield.

"Understand me" replied Terman.

“Dulles, I'll hand you 12 carroballistas. Gather some people to operate it as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, sir," Dulles said.

"Lundmorde, how is the formation of your herbal medicine unit?" Ask Lorist.

“My master, I have found a novice rank herbalist as well as two herbalist disciples from the slave camp. Unfortunately, all three are the only ones with little knowledge in the field. I've recruited them into the unit. However, there seemed to be a man and his daughter in the bastide who were each middle-ranked and novice herbalists employed by Sloph and were currently in custody. Milord, what about that? ”Kata Lundmorde, stand. He was one of the senior students in the academy who had qualified as a beginner-level herbalist, but somehow got into an altercation with a herbal medicine professor in the academy, Nate Borg, and having his own status as a herbal medicine instructor revoked. He was then convinced by Charade and joined the journey north in the heat of the moment.

"Yes, sir. I'll do what you want. ”

Sigh, we still lack capable people, Lorist thought as he began to set his sights on the other two Potterfang comrades.

"Mr Mons and Loze, can I ask you both for help?" Asked Lorist politely.

Loze smiled cheerfully and said, “Master Locke, feel free to state your request. We are honored to help you. ”

Mons Malek also nodded in agreement.

"Well, the thing is, I want to form another 360-strong sniper company with another spear infantry regiment. Can I temporarily invite the two of you to welcome the family guest to serve as the officer in charge of these two units? I believe you also know that many of my friends from the academy have no experience in the army and would not be too suitable for the role of an officer at this time. Given that you two are experienced military officers, would you help me on this matter? ”Tanya Lorist.

"No problem . What about you, Malek? ”Loze answered quickly without hesitation and looked at his colleague for the answer.

Mons Malek just nodded.

"How about this, since Malek was originally the military judge of the White Hunt Legion, let him be in charge of the company. I will lead the pike infantry regiment as it gets closer and personal with the enemy more than my thing, “ Loze said.

"Then I will rely on the two of you from now on," Lorist said with great joy.

“Currently, we only have about 700 official members in the family's armed forces. But we have freed more than 3000 slaves recently and most of them are strong young men whose families have been killed or captured by the slaves. That's why I hope you guys will do your best to encourage them to join our squad. But make sure you don't force them to join reluctantly, okay? "

"Yes, my lord," replied everyone in the hall.

“Task Knight Charade will be the toughest of you all. He is the chief supervisor of our convoy and all big and small matters must be dealt with by him. I have also appointed Shadekampf as his adjutant. In addition, I will also have Knight Els recruit some people to form a police unit that will be in charge of maintaining the order of the people from the convoy, ” Lorist said. He then looked towards Engelich who was leaning against the wall and his granddaughter before waving for them to come.

"You guys are really lucky," Lorist said as he looked at the couple with curiosity. “I just swore in public that the Norton Family will not have slaves, so you two are still free people. However, the fact that Engelich has participated in the war against our forces still remains true. Even though I've saved your life, you still have to pay the consequences of your actions. I've got two contracts here to sign for you and your granddaughter. Don't worry, they are not slave contracts but servant contracts instead. After ten years of service, the two of you are free to leave the Norton Family. ”

Shadekampf came from the side holding two animal skins parchments and a pen and handed the items to Engelich and his grandson.

Staring at the contract with his face twitching for quite a while, Engelich sighed before signing his name and putting his fingerprints on the contract. His granddaughter followed with a pale face.

"So, you're called Molise?" Lorist asked as he looked towards the pale-faced girl.

"Yes, my lord," the girl replied with a hint of fear.

"Your handwriting is really neat and the War Forces manual I asked you to copy for me was done well without any mistakes. Don't worry, I won't let you do menial work like serving drinks and such. Do you see the fat there? He was hurt by your grandfather and couldn't write because of his injuries. That is why from today onwards, you will be his personal servant and act as his right hand man. Not only do you have to look after her and meet all her needs, you also have to write down whatever she needs for you. Your role is basically his assistant and secretary, got it? ”Kata Lorist while pointing at Charade.

The girl bowed and said, “Yes, sir. I'll do what you want and serve as his servant and secretary. ”

Charade's face was stunned. "My lord, my lord .. Locke, stop joking. I don't need a waiter. Why don't you keep him by your side? ”

Charade was so confused that he called Lorist by his nickname.

Lorist replied with a flat face, “This is my decision and this is final. It's not like I need a scribe following me around. I'm sure you'll appreciate the extra help because you'll soon be quite busy. Also, your tent is messy and dirty like a pig! You should definitely have someone who helps you keep the place in an orderly manner. In addition, you can also use other slaves who help you write to run errands and help you out of the problem of the convoy.

"Oh, and Molise here also has a maid. According to what I heard, both his parents were killed by slaves and Molise was the one who bought them from slaves. At this moment, he had regained his freedom. Charade, you can also get her to sign the maid contract and have her serve you with Molise. Engelich, please remain by Knight Charade's side for now and obey his instructions. ”

"Understand, My Lord. Your will is my command, ” Engelich said with a sigh of relief. He was satisfied as long as he could be by his granddaughter's side.

……

Everyone left after the meeting, including Howard who went looking for Alisa. Rubbing his temples gently, thought Lorist, geez, it's really tiring to be the head of the family. Thank goodness I have Charade helping me. Otherwise, I would definitely go crazy for doing all the little things myself.

"Hey, Locke, I heard you gave a beautiful young girl to that fat. "The only one who dared to speak like that to Lorist was none other than Els.

"Ah, you've come," Lorist said as he raised his head to see Els approaching quickly.

"Just now, I heard Yuriy and the gang talking about how sorry they were to Charade when I passed by. ”

"Of course they can find their own servants, right? I heard from Shadekampf that we have freed more than ten beautiful virgin girls from the slave camp that were originally going to be sold for a high price in Port Nupite. Shadekampf even tried to make some of them into my personal servants, but I have turned down the offer. Then, you can tell Yuriy and the others that they are allowed to let one of the girls sign the maid contract, but only if they do it voluntarily, ” Lorist said.

"Huh? Something's not right. Locke, are you not feeling well or what? ”Ask Els curious.

"Hmm? What about me? ”Lorist was also confused as to why Els asked such a thing.

"Let's see, there was one time you did it with Louise on your birthday, and then there were five times with Nina over the years, four times with Sala, she said, three or four times with Jumile and finally, we have the new girl Molly, which you do most, about seven times. You basically sleep almost every girl in the inn. It's not like you're impotent or against having intercourse with women. But this time, not only did you give Charade such an incredible beauty, you also refused to accept beautiful young girls as your servants. Is there something wrong with your trash? ”Kata Els while looking at her hand and retelling as Lorist engaged in intercourse.

"Good Sol ....." Lorist really did not know what to say and panicked by grabbing Els and giving her a good punch. “I'm a man who has needs too. At the time, I had just broken up with my girlfriend, so where else do you think I could go for intimacy? The brothel you opened? Who asked you to peek, huh? Who gave you permission? "

Needless to say, the fact that Els was very informed about this matter was because he observed every Lorist meeting in secret. Even Lorist himself was not so clear about how many times he had intercourse with a woman.

Lorist felt much better after giving Els a good punch. Sitting back in his chair, he said, "Sigh, Els, you should understand the best .. We haven't even started heading north yet, but we've already encountered our first obstacle. Who knows how much it will weigh on us for the rest of the trip? What do you think others would think of me if I were a woman at this point? Wouldn't they be disappointed and disgust me? You were also the leader of a syndicate. Surely you understand how the people who follow you think. If I was really desperate for women, I wouldn't have led this convoy in the first place. ”

Els stood up again and nodded. "You have an intent . But still, a beautiful girl is really a shame to not be by your side. ”

Although he hit Els face, Lorist did not use too much force and Els woke up looking fine without showing any signs of pain or injury. Then again, it wasn't the first time Lorist had hit him like this.

“It's not the thing that makes us unlucky. Beauty is everywhere. During this trip to the north, I also had to make sure the senior students who followed me benefited as well. It is my hope that they find their soulmate during the journey so that they can settle in power when we finally get there. Also, Els .. You remind me of something. Aren't we holding Sloph's concubine and Pike's Blademaster as well? You should go get Loze and Mons Malek and let them choose one girl each to be their maid. Let the other senior students choose from the ones left after that. Actually, you can also choose it yourself, ” Lorist said.

"Understanding, my Lord," Els replied as she bowed and saluted.
