Wandering Knight Start: I have a simple data panel
Chapter 33: Heroic Spirit
Enough to be a centurion, this is of course a compliment.
The centurion sounds ordinary, but in fact it is already a mid-to-high-level officer.
The entire temporary Northern Province Second Legion can have a total of ten centurions.
In addition to the several officers under the earl, some barons who personally went to the battlefield had to be given an official position, and some were even officers from nearby cities. These basically occupied the position of centurion in the legion.
Then there are the sons of military nobles like Marco, who are also strong in themselves, generally between centurions and five hundred.
The earl was excited and promised the position of centurion, which can be said to be over-standard.
This may bring some trouble, but for Derek, the benefits outweigh the trouble.
Even Count Perez himself felt that he had spoken out of turn after being excited.
It was really the performance of the knights under Derek that surprised him too much.
Count Perez left in a hurry, and the review ended for the time being.
The final reorganization is coming soon.
Count Pereira had a final discussion with several confidants. To be honest, he is still hesitating now.
"For an honorary knight, a thousand-man commander is too much, not even a five-hundred-man commander is enough, otherwise it will cause controversy."
The rules of the army, nobles enjoy preferential treatment.
But an honorary knight is at most a ten-man commander.
Even if it is a temporary legion organization, considering the soldiers brought by Derek, he is only given the title of centurion, and he is overqualified to bring his own private army.
The more ruthless ones will give you the title of flag captain, and you have no place to complain.
Of course, if you have the ability and military merits, even a civilian can get a centurion or a thousand-man commander.
But generally, the Centurion Kingdom will not be stingy with the title of an honorary knight.
So, it is normal for some people to oppose.
Count Pereira is hesitating, he thinks it is not too much to give a five-hundred-man commander.
"I think it's okay to give him some manpower and give him a title of a thousand-man captain, which can also boost morale.
We are about to fight the barbarians. If we don't show them the benefits, I'm afraid their morale will be low at that time."
Some people think it's okay. It's a good thing that Count Perez is generous and everyone sees hope.
After all, if you perform well, the count will definitely give you rewards on behalf of the kingdom.
When opinions differ, some people naturally want to smooth things over: "Then give him a title of five hundred men to complete the team."
This seems to be more in line with Count Pereira's wishes.
But just before the count made a decision, Cesar suddenly said: "Count, Knight Derek came from our Knights, and the Second Legion is only a temporary legion at present."
Count Pereira immediately understood Cesar's implication. The Second Legion of the Northern Province was temporarily formed by the governor, and its future prospects are still unknown.
It is likely that it will be reorganized after the barbarians are driven away and directly involved in the war against the barbarians.
At that time, there will be another reshuffle.
So the weight of a centurion may not be that heavy.
However, if the temporary legion is formalized, it will not abandon the officers, and it is normal to use them at a lower level.
Another big advantage.
And Derek was born in the Pereira Knights, and he was born with the mark of the earl's faction.
Even if he is relatively independent, this incense cannot escape.
In the future, the earl will compete for the position of the commander of the formal legion, or even just a simple investment, and it is necessary to deepen the relationship between each other.
Anyway, it is just a temporary legion, and it is still generous to the king.
Taking the resources of the kingdom and doing your own favors, how can this good thing happen in normal times?
Even the Count of Pereira only has so many political resources, and it is very difficult to recommend a centurion in normal times, that is, it is a special period.
This kind of temporary political resource, which is conditionally restricted, is sold to Derek.
Count Pereira figured it out, he didn't care about Cesar's thoughts, and directly signed the appointment document.
"Tell that kid to work hard and don't embarrass me.
I will give him the title of a thousand-man captain, and he will have to recruit 1,000 soldiers and farmers. He can find a way to take care of the rest."
"As you say, I will let him know the earl's generosity." Cesar replied.
The earl paid for political resources, so of course he had to let Derek know, otherwise wouldn't it be in vain?
Of course, it was because of Derek's background and his friendship with Cesar that he got this opportunity.
Otherwise, this temporary political resource could be given to someone else, why Derek?
Next, Count Perez quickly decided on the composition of the army and completed the final preparations.
Cesar came to the door in person with the appointment letter.
"Knight Derek, the earl has specially cared for you and promoted you to the temporary 10th thousand-man captain of the second legion of the northern province, with 500 soldiers and 300 farmers. The rest... is up to you."
Cesar smiled and handed the appointment letter to Derek, congratulating him while chatting and telling him about the earl's argument.
"Fortunately, you are from our Knights, otherwise there would be more people who oppose you, and this opportunity would not fall on you.
Work hard, and after defeating the barbarians, the war will definitely continue, and the Second Legion will definitely be converted into a formal organization.
You are a 500-man army, and you can even perform well, so you may be appointed to your original position."
These are the things that Derek doesn't know much about.
After all, Cesar has seen a lot and understands some of the military rules.
And if the barbarians had not suddenly invaded, Derek might have been a centurion when the army was formally formed, and this was because of the face of more than 200 people under him.
It is not uncommon for a person to have a low position but high power.
So, he should thank the barbarians for this.
Derek naturally understood what Cesar meant, and he did speak for him.
Maybe it was just a casual suggestion for him, but it changed Derek's fate.
It is normal to repay a favor.
Derek likes such straightforward friends. As long as they are willing to speak for him and bring him benefits, he is willing to give rewards.
He was even more generous than Cesar, and went directly to the stable to bring one of the only three excellent quality war horses.
Northern War Horse
Quality: Excellent (5/100)
Experience Pool: 0/100
Excellent Northern War Horse, excellent endurance and load-bearing capacity, good explosive power and speed.
This is an excellent war horse that can carry heavy armor, a scarce resource that cannot be bought on the market.
"Brother Cesar, I won't say more, thank you for your help.
I don't have much to thank you for, this warhorse is for you."
Derrick called him brother directly, and his move was even more generous.
What does this move mean?
It's basically equivalent to giving you a luxury car worth millions.
Even if Cesar worked under Count Perez, he would have to save several years of salary without eating or drinking to afford it, and he didn't have any connections.
He was stunned immediately.
