Start as Inherited Baroness

Aile and the others looked at each other for a while, and no one spoke for a long time.

Finally, it was Sarit who started the conversation. He said: "If we divide the troops, we can organize the army into the first legion, the second legion, and so on..."

"Sir, I think that since we divide the troops, the uniforms should also reflect the differences between the teams.

The overall style is the same, but the details should also be distinguishable..."

After Sarit spoke, no one spoke for a while. After observing the situation, Mad smiled.

After that, everyone spoke one by one. Some of them had no ideas in their minds, and some did have some ideas.

Simon discussed with them seriously for a while and finally made a decision.

The current troops under his command were divided into five parts, namely the Guards, the Patrol, the East Guards, the Mercenaries and the Security Office.

The Guards were responsible for protecting Simon's safety, led by him personally, with Mai Lan as his deputy.

The number of soldiers was 100, all of whom were elites released from the panel by him.

Including all his current heavy cavalry, light cavalry, heavy infantry, longbowmen and other high-level combat soldiers.

This 100-man team, whether in terms of the quality of the soldiers or the equipment such as armor, is definitely the core combat force in the hands of Marquis Val.

In addition, the extra twenty or so soldiers released by the panel will be arranged as officers in other teams.

The patrol team is composed of 100 slave soldiers, 256 selei slaves, 100 servants and several elite officers.

The slave soldiers are all wearing iron light armor, some of which are lined with chain mail, and the selei slaves are all wearing leather armor, long spears and round wooden shields.

The servants are leather armor with long spears, and will be equipped with square wooden shields in the future.

This army is responsible for the defense of various outposts and the daily defense patrols of Spark Fort, and is temporarily led by Knight Sarit.

The East Guard is composed of 200 slave soldiers, 100 servants and several elite officers, temporarily led by Knight Ailei, and belongs to the mobile force.

Some of them are slave soldiers equipped with iron light armor.

They also participate in patrol missions in Spark Castle and its surrounding areas on weekdays.

The police station is composed of nearly 100 slave soldiers and 200 slave soldiers, led by Hilde, but Mad has the right to mobilize them.

They are responsible for maintaining public order in the territory, protecting Yaman and others, and ensuring the normal progress of construction.

The mercenary team manages those mercenary groups recruited temporarily.

Since all the signed border protection contracts can only be used for defense, they are scattered to various outposts, and some go to clear the orcs in the forest.

They are temporarily controlled by Knight Odf. During the agreed employment period, they will be paid monthly, and Mad is responsible for the payment.

After the organization is determined, the rest is to make military flags.

The front of all military flags must be a pattern of the sun and the moon shining together, which represents the army of the Hollen family.

The side is the pattern to distinguish each legion. After some discussion, Simon decided to make it simple.

The pattern of the Guards' flag is a red shield with two crossed one-handed swords.

The Patrol's flag is a yellow shield with a long-handled battle axe diagonally behind it.

The East Guard has a blue shield, but the weapon hanging behind it is a war spear.

The flag of the mercenary team is two crossed one-handed battle axes.

The flag of the public security office will be printed with a square shield and a one-handed war hammer.

These five teams have legion flags, divided into two poles, the main flag and the deputy flag. Simon holds and keeps the main flag.

The deputy flag is given to the knights as a certificate to mobilize soldiers.

The patterns of the legion flags are relatively simple, which is convenient for female slaves to weave.

"Okay, let's leave it at that for the formation of soldiers.

Next, some laws will be implemented in the territory.

After all, there are more and more people here, and without control, free people will involuntarily become thieves.

Mad, how many free people have come to the territory recently? Tell me." Simon smiled faintly.

"Yes, Lord Baron, these days, a total of 297 freemen have come here, and they have formed five villages, called...

Among them, 254 are from West God Land, 16 are from Forest Valley, and 9 are from Storm Land..."

Mad talked freely, as if he knew everything.

During this period, there are indeed many more freemen coming here. It may be that many caravans have returned and spread their experiences in West God Land.

Although this place is not as fertile as the River Bay and the King's Territory.

But in comparison, it is much better than most areas such as Storm Land, West God Land, and North Wind Land.

And it is still an undeveloped virgin land, and all kinds of opportunities are much better than other places.

Even the deeds of mercenary leaders being easily canonized as fiefdom knights are not uncommon, which is completely impossible in the mainland.

Therefore, there are still a large number of attracted mercenary groups and speculators and adventurers on the way to West God Land.

Many nobles' second sons or illegitimate sons also set out on the journey after receiving assistance from their families, hoping to make a good future.

It can be said that the popularity of Xisaidi has increased a lot, but the danger has increased instead of decreased.

Some small caravans have been robbed by bandit groups.

They may be real bandits, and there is a high probability that they are disguised by local nobles.

Most of the nobles in Xisaidi are now short of money.

In addition to maintaining a force sufficient to protect themselves, they also have to take into account the development of the territory, and there are too many places where they lack money.

Getting back to the point, after listening to Mad's story, Simon smiled and said, "Now my people have more than a thousand.

No tax will be collected in the first year, and 40% of their income will be collected in the next 20 years.

In addition, you will select the village chiefs of these five villages, and then go to Spark Castle to accept the appointment.

The public security office will be responsible for protecting these people on their way.

In addition, each village will set up a village guard, which will be under the jurisdiction of the government office."

"Yes! Baron, I promise to handle this matter properly." Mad stood up and bowed, accepting the order.

"As for the law, there is no need to make it too complicated now, just a few will do.

First, those who kill without reason will pay with their lives, those who kill in self-defense will be punished with five lashes, and those who kill with sufficient reasons will be punished with one year of hard labor.

Second, thieves will be punished with twenty lashes in addition to returning the stolen goods.

If the amount is greater than one silver deer, they will be punished with two years of hard labor, and if the amount is greater than one golden eagle, they will be executed immediately.

Third, robbers will be punished with thirty lashes and three years of hard labor, and if the amount is greater than two silver deer, they will be executed immediately.

Fourth, those who beat the other party to disability will be punished with five years of hard labor in addition to compensation.

Fifth, those who rape women will be punished with twenty lashes and ten years of hard labor...

That's it, for now, these are the ones to be implemented and promoted by the Government Affairs Office."

Simon said thoughtfully, the population in the territory is still not large, and the law will control the general aspects.

"Yes! My lord! I will definitely live up to your trust."

Mad was slightly excited in his heart. The power of the Government Affairs Office has been further expanded, and he himself has also risen with the tide.

Although he has not been knighted, his glory is no less.

"Okay, let's talk about these things in this meeting. You should hurry up and prepare the military flags.

Then, divide the soldiers into teams and let them adapt to the situation." Simon concluded.

"Yes!" Everyone responded respectfully.

"Let's go." Simon stood up first, and the others also stood up and saluted him, and then left to do their work.
