Chapter 137 Killing two birds with one stone
Hardy was monitoring the training progress of the soldiers in his barracks.
This time he is going to take the veterans on an expedition, so the training of new recruits is a top priority.
If there is not enough training and something happens to Hukaro City, how can the recruits ensure the stability of Hukaro City?
Then he heard it and asked for a meeting.
Hardy met with Xixi in the main hall of the Lord's Mansion, and also saw Simon.
Hardy was impressed by him, frowned slightly, and asked: "I remember you, you were once the leader of the Atonement Society." "I'm
honored that the Lord can remember me, a pariah."
Hardy smiled: "You people of the Atonement Society , are already free people, and the word untouchable no longer applies to them."
"Thank you Lord for your tolerance." Simon's honest and honest face was full of gratitude: "And this time, I want to serve the Lord. "
Hardy sat on the throne on the high platform, looking thoughtful: "You mean, you want to restart the Atonement Society?" "
No, they are not the Atonement Society, but a force that the lord can rely on." Simon knelt on one knee. He stood up and looked up at Hardy: "We can become the sharp blade and strong shield of Lord Lord You."
Hardy was silent for a while.
Simon, who was kneeling on one knee, was very worried, fearing that Hardy would refuse.
After a while, Hardy asked: "Simon, your intention makes me very happy. But I also have concerns. The Atonement will have a strong fighting capacity. As farmers, I am relieved; but if you are gathered, and I won't feel at ease if I'm armed."
Simon looked disappointed, but he didn't blame or resent Hardy for this.
He understands Hardy's concerns.
After all, this group of people were indeed rebels before!
At this time, Bing Xixi also knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Sir Hardy, I am willing to vouch for Simon."
Simon looked at Bing Xixi beside him in surprise.
Hardy looked at Xixi with no joy or sadness, and remained silent.
The two people kneeling below were feeling anxious together.
After a while, Hardy sneered: "Bing Xixi, you are just a knight yourself, why should you guarantee him, what should you use to guarantee it."
Bing Xixi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Your Excellency Hardy, if Simon did something that violated his promise. You don't need to do anything. I'll just chop him down and then commit suicide in front of you."
"Suicide?" Hardy smiled and said, "You are immortal. Death will come to you. He said it was just a tonic."
"I will quit traveling immediately!" Xixi took a deep breath and said, "I mean I will never set foot in this world again."
There was another long silence.
The two people below were nervous and felt like their days were like years.
After a while, Hardy suddenly smiled and said: "Okay, I believe in Knight Xixi's promise."
The two people below breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little grateful to Hardy.
They knew how ridiculous their request was to Hardy.
Hardy continued: "Simon, although I have been interceding with you day and night, it is impossible for me to directly grant you the honor of knighthood from the beginning. This is a very unfair thing to other people."
Simon nodded in understanding.
"So I have a compromise idea."
Simon immediately answered: "Your Excellency Hardy, please tell me."
Hardy smiled and said: "I can give you the status of a temporary knight first, and you can recruit yourself legally and compliantly. The upper limit is one hundred subordinates. I will also provide the initial recruitment fee, but you have no territory. One month later, you will follow me on the expedition to the Ajiaka Empire. Based on your military exploits, I will confirm whether you have the qualifications to become a knight. Qualifications."
This may sound unreasonable, but in this world, this is the most reasonable thing.
How difficult is it to become a knight from a commoner?
No less than a miracle happens.
Simon suppressed his excitement, lowered his head, and said loudly: "I will not let you down." Hardy nodded and said, "Xixi, you teach Simon and tell him what he needs to do after becoming a knight. "
And nodded vigorously Xixi.
"Okay, you can leave."
Watching the two men walking away arm in arm, Hardy also chuckled after they disappeared.
On the surface, Simon took a big advantage, but in reality, Hardy also got two birds with one stone.
Hardy is currently very short of manpower and talent.
As the leader of the Atonement Society, Simon's abilities are quite good.
In the original world, under such harsh circumstances, he could lead the Atonement Society to persist for so many years. It was not until the players joined in that completely broke the 'ecological' balance that the Atonement Society was wiped out. One can imagine his ability and resilience. .
Hardy has long considered recruiting Simon into his camp, but he has never had a good excuse.
Now that he has delivered it to his door, there is no reason why he should not accept it.
Another advantage is that it limits Bing Xixi’s random expression.
Hardy himself was once a player, and he knew very well that a player without 'restraints' would definitely be a time bomb.
It’s not surprising at all when “big news” will break out.
But the vast majority of players attach great importance to emotions. As long as they have feelings for the NPCs in the game, they can be manipulated 'reasonably'.
Just like they started a family and had children.
It's easy to make them work overtime like an old cow.
Love, friendship, and love are all ways to manipulate players.
Therefore, he was very happy, and at night, he called his head maid to join in the fun and had a hearty battle.
The days after that were very fulfilling.
Handle government affairs, exercise, and learn magic.
The library 'bought' from Princes played a key role in expanding Hardy's knowledge base.
But the greater benefit comes from the help of Aya, the goddess of light.
As his soul was gradually 'repaired', he grew faster and faster.
Not only has his physical fitness been greatly improved, but his mental and magical abilities have also been greatly enhanced.
Hardy is now a very powerful professional even in human form, let alone in the form of the Nightmare Knight.
Hardy even had a feeling that he already had a BOSS-level template.
It far exceeds the data of the player template.
A month later, when the new recruits were almost fully trained, he set out with the veterans.
After leaving the city, Simon joined the team with his army. When passing through the village of Yier, Xixi also joined the team with a hundred elite soldiers.
In this way, Hadi came to station outside the city of Boris with 300 elite soldiers and more than 200 militiamen responsible for logistics.
He took Xixi and Simon to Jeanna Manor.
Mrs. Sissi received them: "Didn't I tell you that you don't need to bring troops?" "
It's easier to do things if you have your own manpower."
"That's right." In more than a month, Mrs. Sissi also lost her mother. Coming out of grief, she saw Hadi and smiled gently: "According to the report of the courier, our army has almost gathered on the border. In ten days, we will set off. Then there will be trouble. You."
Hardy nodded.
Xi Xi was behind, looking full of envy.
