Lord Harland

Chapter 43 Sophia

The Barony of Harland now has two squadrons of soldiers.

These two squadrons are a standing army and require twelve months of training each year.

The first half a year is recruit training, mainly familiarizing with military regulations, and conducting queue training.

This queue training is different from the military training in Li Cha's previous life, it combines the actual combat situation in Chenxi Continent.

Mainly training teams and team drawing tactics, each training must be fully armed, armored and bladed.

The physical exertion is very high, and the queue training is usually only performed every other day.

In addition, the most important task of recruit training is to teach soldiers to know the flag, semaphore, and familiarize themselves with the horn.Teach them to recognize words and practice breathing techniques.

Of course, at the very beginning, Li Cha was concerned with health regulations.

In order to make the soldiers have good hygienic habits, Li Cha personally inspected them and used a leather whip to make the lazy slaves remember the hygiene regulations and not defecate indiscriminately, making the barracks stinky.

After a period of continuous spot checks and punishments, the soldiers remembered the fear of the whip, and gradually developed good hygiene habits.The hygiene habits have improved, and the military appearance and discipline have obviously improved.

There are slave traders acting as transport captains, and the equipment of the two squadrons is not bad.

Although it is far from being comparable to the main army, it is already considered relatively good among the noble private army.

Baron Stopa's territory has been in operation for decades, and the family's private army has only two squadrons, and its combat effectiveness is also average, no different from the soldiers of the Harland family.

For nearly a year, although Li Cha was busy every day, he still did not practice relaxation breathing or meditation.

In the past year, the experience of breathing method has increased by about 10000 points, and the experience of meditation method has increased by about 2800 points.

Although Li Cha meditates hard every day, his elemental intimacy is average, and the effect of meditation is not very good.

If no killing experience is added, it will take three years for Li Cha to be promoted to the second ring magician.

Archery skills have increased by 2000 experience points. Last year, Li Cha trained archery every three days. The time invested was not enough, and the experience gained was less.

For a whole year, the fighting skills of the Northern Territory Legion basically did not improve much.

It took half a month for Li Cha to conduct combat training once.This skill can increase a little experience, Li Cha is already very contented.

In terms of learning spells, Li Cha has a good talent and has learned three first-ring spells.

The younger sister Wendy has a good talent in magic. She has become an advanced magic apprentice and has also learned energy rays and two zero-ring magic to treat minor injuries.

According to Li Cha's estimation, her spiritual power is already close to eight points, and she is not far from becoming a first-ring magician.

It is estimated that it will break through within a few months.

Wendy devoted even less time to magic than Richard.

In the past year, she has been in the library at home in Heihebao almost every day.

With Lord Stoppard's library to read, Wendy was already basking in knowledge.

In the field of magic, she is more talented than Richard.

After finishing the spring plowing, Li Cha let the slaves rest for a day.

He was just about to go to Fort William to look for his second uncle, Powell, when he saw a beautiful girl leading a dozen cavalrymen to Brick Kiln Village and blocked Li Cha at the door.

For the past year, Powell has mainly lived in Fort William, returning to Fort Black River once a month to reunite with his wife and children for six days.

Now the Harland Territory has just been developed, and the conditions are harsh, and the family members all live in Heihe Castle.

The female relatives will not move to Fort William until the castle is completed and the interior decoration is completed.However, William is still serving in the Northern Legion. It is estimated that Mrs. Ola will not leave her husband and settle in the desolate castle.

According to Li Cha's observation, Mrs. Ola held dozens of banquets last year, and she seemed to be obsessed with noble banquets.

The territory of the Harland family was still in the stage of land reclamation, and almost no outsiders came in for a whole year.

Caravans will enter only when the territory develops to a large scale.

Seeing that the girl was dressed as an aristocrat, Li Cha was a little curious.

Noticing the scrutiny in Li Cha's eyes, the girl said generously, "I'm Baron Sophia Vickburg."

Hearing this name, even though Li Cha's residence is relatively deep, his expression changed.

After getting the magic book from Vicburg, Richard paid close attention to the situation of the suffering master.

In the past year, William sent some people to quietly inquire about the situation of the Stopa family.

Richard is naturally very aware of the changes in Baron Stopa's territory.

The orc invasion war two years ago brought serious disaster to the Stopa family.

Not only the baron died in battle, but his wife, court maid, three sons, and one daughter all died at the hands of the orcs.

After the fall of Vickburg, the Stoppard family was down to six heirs.

Sofia Stopa was third.

The second and third sons of Baron Stopa came in ahead of her in the line of succession.

He is also Baron Sophia's older brother.

The baron's two sons both grew up in the hinterland of the Kingdom of Grant, one served as a judge in the suburb of Nolan, and the other served as an auditor in a southern county.

The work of the two is very decent, and they have also received a lot of gold coins from Baron Stopa.

The son of Baron Stopa grew up in northern Xinjiang. He has experienced many wars and is very satisfied with the peaceful and prosperous life in the south.

Sophia's two elder brothers are average in talent and not very brave in character.

Not only did he fail to awaken the blood of the knight, but he barely became a professional by relying on the power of the potion, and his level was only one level.The follow-up training of professionals, neither of them can bear the hardship.

Of course Baron Sophia's two elder brothers wanted to become hereditary barons, but they were very afraid of risks.

Seeing the brave and powerful father Stopa Ram, the orcs broke through the castle and wiped out the whole family.

The two knew in their hearts that they couldn't defend the territory with their own strength, and they had to deal with the endless troubles at the border.

They don't have much ambition and are smarter.They are all over 30 years old, and they have a clear understanding of their abilities.

Besides, the Barony of Stopa is still a mess, and the situation is better than that of the Baron of Harlant.

The people in the territory were annexed by Baron Harden, who is a powerful Silver Knight. No matter who inherits the territory, it will be very difficult to get the people back from Baron Harden.

Recruiting people, buying slaves, running a territory, and building an army all require money, and it is a lot of money.

At least tens of thousands of gold coins must be invested in order for the Barony of Stopa to recover.

Although Sophia's two elder brothers have rich family resources, some of them have small money, and they saved at most one or two thousand gold coins. This amount of money is of course a huge sum of money for ordinary people.

It takes hundreds of years of work to save this money.

But for a baronial territory, this amount of money is insignificant. One or two hundred strong slaves cost more than 2000 gold coins.

After careful consideration, the two were unwilling to inherit the territory and gave up their inheritance rights.

But no one inherited the territory, and the two were unwilling.

In addition to the three grown-up sons and daughters of Baron Stopa, a fifth son survived, but this child was not yet a professional and had no right of inheritance.

The other three family members who have the right to inherit are the baron's two younger brothers and an uncle.

These three people's financial resources are not as good as the baron's two sons. Although their professional level is higher, their abilities are also very average, and they cannot afford the responsibility of defending the territory at all.

Reluctantly inherited the territory, and spent two or three years as a baron's addiction.

When the orcs came next time, Vickburg would still fall, and it would only be his family who would be harmed.

If all family members relinquish their inheritance rights, the Stopa family will lose their noble status.

According to the laws of the Kingdom of Grant, one cannot be appointed to important positions such as judges and auditors without aristocratic status.

The Stopa family worked hard for several generations, finally climbed up and became a distinguished hereditary nobleman.

When this generation is expelled, the efforts of several generations will be ruined.

In desperation, members of Baron Stopa's family can only pin their hopes on the most talented Sofia Stopa.

Although the jewel in the palm of the baron was unwilling to inherit the title, she went to the kingdom of Makholm five years ago to pursue the truth of magic.

In order to let his sister come back to inherit the family territory, the two sons of Baron Stopa went to the Kingdom of Makholm together, and saw his sister begging.

Even threatened with suicide, so Sophia came back and inherited the title.
