Chapter 4: Recruitment (1) (1/2)
Chapter 4: Recruitin To keep the Republic in check, the kingdodo war of attrition with the Strabus Kingdo water into a bottoe burden for the royal household which personally ed the finances of the country
Therefore, the royal household caetan equivalent aiven a decorative award
From all those that helped with the war effort, those that personally led the ht would be given the best preferential treat to how aggressive one participated in the war
There was one preferential treat in the war against the republic will have their taxes and econo, for a noble participating in a ith their troops, they will be exe their taxes for three years and their economic debt will also be frozen for three years This was the only method available to Milton, who could not pay off his debt immediately
Milton, who had histhe ar the war [1]
Therefore, even after co up with this method, he left this as the last possible option As expected, however, there were no otherelse he could do
Milton called over Knight Captain Sansen and told hiather the soldiers, so he could participate in the war
The old Knight Sansen looked touched as he spoke, “That’s a great idea, My Lord Let us take this opportunity to drive out the wretched Republicans and spread your Lordshi+p’s naht thought his young lord was participating in the war due to the patriotis honor to his House
Sansen’s loyalty went up at this ti because I have to, because ofSansen’s misconception
“In order to participate in the war as a coether as much of the territory’s forces as you can immediately”
“Understood, My Lord”
Sansen h after Sansen left, “In the end, it looks like I’ to war”
Brix, one of the branchhis work documents as usual, when one of his subordinates caer, I have a matter to report immediately”
“What’s the matter?”
“We received another request for loans from the Forrest territory”
“What did you say? What do you old in loans”
Brix looked du his subordinate’s report and asked, “Are they taking us for fools? The territory is already on hand as collateral, how are they going to get additional loans?”
“That is, the peerage has been put down as collateral”
“The peerage?”
Brix was really surprised It was public knowledge that a peerage can be used for trade with h some complex law docue However, this was so nobles never used, unless they were literally on the brink of collapse
A peerage to a noble was the epitome of as passed down to them from their ancestors Even if they were to lose their wealth and authority, as long as they have their peerage, they would still be considered a noble It was hard to put down your peerage as collateral, even if your neck was at knifepoint For nobles who take honor seriously, just hearing about having a peerage put down as collateral was enough to turn you into an outcast
“What could he be thinking?”
“He most likely needs money to start a new business venture”
“Thatwould dictate that to be the norm
Brix et the peerage in addition to the territory, that’d be an enoret did miraculously well in his business and paid off the debt?
ood in its oay’
At the very least, it seeht We will allow it Just h with the docu”
“Understood”
Brix allotted another loan of 2,000 gold to Milton in such a manner
One month later
“What? Enlistment into the ith the Republic? The debt is frozen as a result?”
Brix felt numb as if he was hit on the back of his head When nobles join a ith the Republic, all their personal debts become frozen Brix also knew about this fact but didn’t pay much mind to it
That’s because, nobles nor a war just for monetary reasons, and there were notwithin one’s hodoiven that the risk factor was high as your authority as a noble would be diminished, and you’d have to follow orders in athe case, even if nobles knew about it in their mind, the majority of nobles would not enlist in the war
“Wh… What should we do, Branch Manager?”
“What should we do… fuck! What can we do?!”
Brix got up from his seat and yelled
Milton had already enlisted They could do nothing but watch at this point
8,500 gold and another additional 2,000 gold An aold had been frozen solid To a merchant company, a loan without any interest was really a loss
“Uher…”
“What is it now?!”
“The company president has asked for you to come to headquarters She said… as soon as possible”
“Milton Forrest! Youpiece of shi+t!!” [2]
Brix felt his blood pressure rise as he cursed Milton
ill of htly itch
Two subordinates stood in front of Milton while dripping with tears
“My Lord, please leave the work of the territory to us old vassals and be rest assured”
“I, Sansen Bruno, will stake one, My Lord”
On the day Milton left his territory with his troops, Sansen and Thomas sent him off with tears in their eyes
off their child to the arht their tears were burdenso Sansen along initially, but after so, he decided to leave Sansen in his territory If he took the Sansen as well after taking over 90 of the troops in the territory, there would not be enough th to keep the territory peaceful So, he decided to leave Sansen in place and take the other two Knights of the territory with hiuys must keep the Lord safe, even at the cost of your life Do you understand?”
“Yes, Captain”
“Worry not, and leave it toat either side of Milton bravely answered
Rick had a large build, was one head taller than Milton and had an outspoken personality Meanwhile, Tommy was leaner than Rick, but also tall, with a quiet and calm personality
When Milton had a look at their abilities, he saw both of their strengths didn’t fall behind Sansen
