The North is currently recruiting soldiers. I must say that the Norths official military enlistnt this ti has been effective. Lots of young n have rushed to enlist. They are all but ordinary citizens; however, after they undergo training, they should be reliable soldiers.
The vassals in the conference hall were silent for once. Though the general labelled as the most important report, nobody present dared to criticise it. If it wasnt news from the North but any other nation, vassal state or even elves, who recruited military personnel, Rosvenor Empire would be jumping with excitent, for the reason that war was their only opportunity to make a na for themselves. This ti, however, nobody dared to thoughtlessly speak up about the North. The reason for their reluctance was because it was King Troys nation.
The North still didnt have a na. It was still referred to as the North. Troy didnt like the idea of using his na to na a nation.
From behind the black veil, Elizabeth expressed, Why are you all silent? Generals, the North will soon have their own military; I want to hear your opinions.
Elizabeths voice was the sa as usual. In fact, there was a tinge of pleasure in her tone that she derived from their misery. She was eager to know what her vassals thought of the North for her own pleasure.
The generals exchanged looks. Normally, they would sneakily ruin the enlistnt in the North or watch over the Norths goals and training. At the sa ti, theyd try and plant spies in the army to acquire their military docunts. Not this ti, however. Not one of them dared to opine. All they did was look at each other.
Since none of you are going to say anything, lets move on. Oh, wait, we cant just move on. Did any of you fight in the war ten years ago? Has anyone else fought in other wars? As you have war experience, gather so talented sergeants. Pack your luggage and prepare to assist with the Norths military building. While their morale is high, they can never fight if they lack experience. Instead of exchanging blood and failure for experience, its better to let you guide them. Dont worry. All sergeants who go to the North can return after a year. Ill handsoly reward them three hundred gold empire coins and grant them half a year vacation.
Elizabeth was satisfied with their reactions. The generals, on the other hand, were absolutely stunned. If the Norths military was allowed to develop and expand as a result of Troys efforts, then they could understand. Howbeit, Elizabeths command was not to allow them to develop on their own but to assist the North. She just asked them to help turn a newly established nation rapidly grow into a powerful military. That wasnt Rosvenor Empires modus operani, and it certainly wasnt Elizabeths idea.
Your Majesty, please forgive my bluntness. The leader of the North is Prince Troy, which is why I can understand your decision. Still, why do we need to help them establish a military? His Majestys relationship with the elves creates a lot more questions compared to his relationship with us. That is why we must be wary of the elves if not His Majesty.
Because I trust my son. Is that not a good enough reason? Troy City is a present I gave my son, yet our church ran it into the ground. I must compensate him for that, and I am sharing our battle experience and skills to that end. In short, you just need to arrange it. I trust my sergeants.
The sergeants were humanitys militarys foundational pillars. They were the most experienced veterans selected from the pool of soldiers. The sergeants were the leaders of the infantries, the important factor in maintaining the competence from their run to their successors. They were also the armies morale.
The sergeants were capable of training any soldier and taking care of any soldier. Generals taught soldiers how to manage armies, how to command armies and how to win battles. In saying that, sergeants were the ones who could manage soldiers, maintain their morale and use their leadership to, at least, no end up wiped out.
Yes, Your Majesty
Since Her Majesty had made the decision, nobody dared to say anything else. All they could do was order their best sergeants and generals to train the soldiers and commanders who lacked experience. The aforentioned mbers were the true most important mbers of a team. The Norths amazing rifles, cannons and whatnot werent their primary concern.
Over the next year, the Norths army underwent a complete transformation.

Although my two armies combined only made up the size of one human army, I only had so many n in the North at the present ti. I couldnt sacrifice labour workers for the military as that would impact our developnt. I could only recruit about five thousand young n. The soldiers had to serve for five years before they could retire as that would allow soldiers showing potential to replace them.
The military enlistnt I set up was comprised of volunteers and those obligated. It was compulsory for all n who had co of age to enlist. After serving for two mandatory years, they could be promoted to professional soldiers to enjoy the treatnt, pay and provisions soldiers enjoyed. Alternatively, they could ask to be discharged. They were permitted to retire after ten years of service. In addition, they were awarded a block of land and a house.
A nations military was its foundation. At the sa ti, it was the most difficult faction for a nation to control. As such, Freya was very dedicated to its developnt. Freya already began preparing for the job. Thanks to her efforts, the first enlistnt went smoothly. From the start, Freya worried about having misgivings, but she no longer did.
Your Majesty, our military set-up is perfect. The Norths residences have resoundingly responded to our calls. Lots of people have taken the initiative to ask to join our military. We, therefore, have to increase our requirents for selecting soldiers. I believe our military will soon begin training. As per what you asked for, our first army will be split into two teams: North and South. Two thousand will be assigned to the North; three thousand will be assigned to the South, reported Freya, looking proud.
By the way, Your Majesty, Empress Elizabeth is sending us highly-experienced generals and sergeants to assist us in training our military. Are you all right with them getting involved with our military? Do not mistake this as suspecting Empress Elizabeth. Nonetheless, you, too, are aware that, while she may be very nice to us, lots of people from Rosvenor Empire do not consider us friends.
Let them in this ti. After all, their experience and thods are crucial to us. I want to have a military on par with Mommy Elizabeths. I really want to.
Understood.
