Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 118 Thunder
"What about you?" Stannis asked the Bachelor Romon behind him again, because the old man was holding a cowhide book and a pen, he hesitated to speak but looked very expectant.

Not only Romon, but even Robert and Stannis appeared out of nowhere, as if something big was about to happen.

Bachelor Romon cleared his throat, and his old voice became extremely solemn at this time, "According to the law code of the empire, when a lord's army exceeds 100, he has the right to name and designate the army. You have to give What is the name of your own troops? Your Excellency."

"You mean, I can name my own army?" Stannis' voice trembled. He had never thought that he would have the honor.

Bachelor Romond gave an affirmative answer, "Of course, Your Excellency, the twenty soldiers brought in by Miss Lucia just now, plus your current 80 soldiers, just meet the principle that a lord's army can be named after only 100 soldiers. And you can appoint officers, draw up flags, draw up slogans."

Although the rule that requires at least 100 people to establish a system is a bit strange, this setting is still quite interesting, because the momentum of an army of 100 people has changed qualitatively. Maybe the empire thinks the same way, otherwise cats and dogs will be There is no need to call an army if you can pull up a team that doesn't even have a hundred people.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency." Bachelor Romon interrupted his contemplation, "How do you plan to name your troops? I have many options here, all of which were left by the previous earl. You can inherit their names and titles. Glory."

"Oh, let's hear it." Stannis became interested.

"'The Great Dragon of Autumn Twilight', 'Black Dragon Reaper', 'Dragon Flame Burning World', 'Immortal Dragon Bone'..." Bachelor Romon flipped through the cowhide book and read one by one.

These names are good-sounding, but they are all related to dragons. This is also the principle of naming the army of the Justin family.

"Why are there so many names? The number of a troop can be used for a long time. Why is there no army in my territory that inherits these names?"

Bachelor Romon coughed twice in embarrassment, "Because these troops were wiped out in the end, so they couldn't continue..."

"What!" Stannis was furious when he heard it, because he felt that he was digging a hole to jump down, "Damn! The troops with these names are finished, and you still want my army to inherit, don't you? Did it end up in the same place!!?”

He waved his hand to tell all these unlucky names to go away, and he was going to come up with a new name to cheer him up.

After thinking about it, he planned to name his first army with the surname of his most admired God of War.

"How about 'Barca'?"

But the people in Westland had obviously never heard of Hannibal Bacca, and the bewildered expressions of the three guys in front of them especially showed their attitude.

"Pull card? What is this?" Robert was very puzzled and dissatisfied with the name.

"Uh..." Stannis rolled his eyes and started to make nonsense, "It's a lost ancient language, and it means 'thunder' in Phoenician."

"Then just call it Thunder!" Robert complained routinely.

Bachelor Romon wrote the letters 'Barca' on the yellowed paper, "Well, Thunder, one of the dragon's breaths, it conforms to the naming principle of the Justin family and can be used."

Therefore, in the notes of the Grand Master Romon, he recorded a strong stroke in the annals: the first army in the era of Stannis Justin's reign was named Thunder.

Now that you have the number of the army, you have to arrange an official position.

Instructor Kan, the captain of the archers, and the cup cat, the captain of the infantry, cannot move. As for the cavalry that Korodov has been hinting at, because there is not even a single hair on the horse, it is not listed. Stannis needs to think carefully.

"Boss, boss, you see, there are only a few knights in the territory. Korodov can be ruled out if he is not smart, so the rest..." Robert didn't say anything, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was recommending himself.

But Stannis only listened to the first half of his sentence, "That's right, there are only six knights in the territory, and I am the only one who is capable of both civil and military skills, so I can only reluctantly take up the post of the highest officer of the Barca Legion. Thank you for your recommendation." ,radish!"

Robert wanted to cry but had no tears.

In this way, the main official position of the 'Thunder' Legion (only Stannis insisted on being called Bacca) was determined, and the deputy head of the Legion was vacant, and of course Robert did not get an official position.

After dealing with such trivial matters, Stannis suddenly remembered that there were three knights in the village below him who managed their own territories, but they had never visited him until now, and the orders issued were sent by Bachelor Romond himself. The ostentation of a vassal is too big!
"Korodov, why haven't the three knights under me come to see me for almost two months!" Stannis, who had no one to kneel and lick, was very upset.

Korodov was very confused by his question, "My lord, but you clearly gave the order three months ago, without your summons, you don't want to see those three knights again, have you forgotten? "

Have you issued this order yourself?Three months ago was before I traveled through time, that is, in the memory of the lost year.

What was wrong with this ex-Stannis?Voluntarily giving up the pleasure of being flattered by his subordinates, Stannis didn't want to lose this privilege.

"Go, call those three guys over, I have something to call them." After Stannis gave the order, the knight commander had no choice but to carry it out, although he didn't know his intention at all.

An hour later, three vassal knights from the Justin family, who were also the rulers of the three villages of Tanzanis, Jalumb, and RKZ, stood in front of Stannis.

"You said...they were knights..." Stannis said in disbelief.

Maester Romond shrugged at him, which was why Stannis had been reluctant to see them before.

Because standing in front of Stannis was a super fat fat man, a huge thin man, and an old man who forgot his age.These guys should be on the 'It's a Wonderful World' tour, not knights.

"Like, Dalu, we're so real (yes, my lord, we're really knights)!"

The fat man was talking indistinctly, because he was still gnawing on a raw pig leg, and the flies surrounded him cheerfully, but the guy didn't care.

Stannis shook his head, but he didn't immediately despair. After all, people are not judged by appearances. Maybe these guys have some special skills?Anyway, they are all knights, so it can't be for nothing, right?
"Fatty, run for me and let me see your endurance."

The fat man threw away the pig leg and walked towards the starting point, but he didn't start for a long time.

"What's wrong? Are you injured?" Stannis walked over with concern.

But he found that the fat man was just gasping for breath, the distance he walked just now made him out of breath.

"Damn! The next skinny guy!"

The weak and skinny knight came out staggeringly.

"Put on your armor and fight me," Stannis ordered.

Reluctantly, the thin man jumped out of the thinnest breastplate from the armory, and there was nothing else but a piece of iron sheet.Robert helped him tie it, but as soon as he let go, the thin man was crushed and fell down, and passed out due to shortness of breath.

"Damn! The next old man!"

The old knight walked forward tremblingly, but it seemed that he hadn't figured out the situation until now.

"Did I have lunch today, grandson?" the old man looked at Stannis and asked kindly.

"Damn! Who is your grandson!" Stannis angrily grabbed the ground, these three knights are all worse than trash!

But after getting angry, things still have to be done. Stannis immediately issued an order to reseal the fiefdoms of these three guys. Each new fiefdom is a black forest on the other side of the river... At the same time, the three villages that were taken back were given by Stannis. Self-responsibility, let the village chief be directly responsible for himself.In order to prevent these knights from suing and causing trouble, he gave each knight a large pension and allowed his heirs to inherit the title of knight. He would rather spend money to support those useless knights than let them rule his land for a second bell.

Then he summoned the heads of the three villages and set a year-end goal for them, that is, the population tax revenue of each village must increase by 10% this year, otherwise...

"Otherwise everyone will receive 100 lashes!" Stannis shouted arrogantly.

The three village chiefs burst into tears immediately. The lord was very surprised, and he didn't kill them, but just whipped them a few times. Was the reaction so exaggerated?
Robert came up to him in time and whispered, "Boss, there are too many whips, I'm afraid even people will be whipped into a puddle of meat!"

Stannis said he didn’t understand. Jesus had to be lashed 900 times before he went to the cross, and he concluded from watching TV dramas when he was a child that although the people in it would get hundreds of lashes at every turn, after one or two episodes they would use He was alive and kicking, and he still felt that a hundred whips were missing.

"Being whipped will kill you, it's too exaggerated! I don't believe it, give me a whip and try." Stannis expressed his confusion, and decided to experience it himself, which can be regarded as fulfilling a childhood dream born of watching SM episodes in small movies.

Soon, the whip used for punishment was carried up.

Stannis rubbed his eyes, the whips in this world were as long as two meters of pythons, not the short and dainty whips he imagined.

Just as the lord was about to shout that he could stop playing, the whip hit his head and face, just hitting his ass. After the most miserable scream, he lay on the ground and didn't move anymore.

This incident ended with Stannis lying on the bed and howling in pain for three days and three nights. Logically, the penalty for the village chief who failed to complete the year-end goal was also reduced to 3 lashes.
