From the perspective of social status, the status of mercenaries belongs to the middle and middle class, similar to those master craftsmen who master irreplaceable skills.

second only to the upper class nobility, and the middle and upper class magicians, knight officials without titles, and artists indispensable to the upper class.

To surpass the servants of the middle and lower classes, craftsmen, workers, merchants, rats, and serfs at the bottom of society.

These mercenaries are mostly destitute knights.

There is no mercenary group in the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, so naturally there are no mercenaries.

However, in countries on the mainland, mercenary groups are widespread and ubiquitous, and are often established in the name of escorting trade, hunting monsters, and capturing elves.

But secretly, the mercenary group was the most direct participant in the slave trade movement, often playing the role of robbers and robbers.

Liszt doesn’t know how the mercenary group originated, so that it has developed to this level.

But after speaking with the earl, his understanding of the mercenary group gradually became clearer – the mercenary group is actually the same as the mouse, an extension of the nobles’ power – if the role played by the mouse is an intelligence organization, then the role played by the mercenary More like a dynamic social organization.

One of the drawbacks of the enfeoffment system is that there is no governing relationship between the territories, on the contrary, there is great competition.

Many lords even have various personal feuds. It is not easy to directly send knights to loot each other, and the mercenary group can play a very good role.

Moreover, the mercenary group is also a huge benefit. There is no shortage of people in the mainland. Every time there is a war, the slave trade is a profitable business.

Even many local lords are looking forward to the Sapphire Grand Duchy to come and plunder – as long as they don’t plunder their own territory.

At this time, they will frantically cooperate with the Invading Knights to trade, and use the serfs that can be caught everywhere to trade the materials that the Invading Knights snatch from other places.

Every war between the Eagle Kingdom and the Iron Ridge Kingdom is the most active moment of the mercenary group.

These mercenary groups did not dare to invade the castles of the territory, but looting the serfs could come and go like the wind.

“It can be said that when we invaded this area of Sardinia Bay, in addition to the lords in this area who would resist, the lords and mercenary groups in the surrounding areas would only wave tableware and share the Sardinian Bay with us. The wealth of the region.” The Count said eloquently, “This is also the confidence that we dare to attack the Eagle Kingdom every year.”

He looked at Liszt who was listening carefully.

Finally found the feeling of his father teaching his son, and continued to talk: “Also, some lords in the Sardinian Bay area, we fight during the day, and we can even sit down and discuss business together at night.”

Liszt was puzzled: “Why?”

Count He

asked: “How do you think nobles rule their territories, or what do we rely on to live? Live a life that is thousands of times better than that

of

commoners?

” From the land

?”

“From… the land.”

“Yes, you are very smart, you can see the essence of the problem.” The count praised, and then said, “The nobles rely on the land, and all resources are obtained from the land. Either get it from your own land, or get it from someone else’s land, or rely on serfs to farm, or rely on knights to snatch it.”

“What does this have to do with the lords of Sardinian Bay, who are at war and trade with us?”

“Since the war Inevitably, some lords will of course find opportunities to stop their losses. The big lord can pass the loss on to the small lord by trading with us, and the small lord can pass it on to the commoners, or to other lords… It is undeniable that they have lost their knights. of noble qualities.”

…

Does knights have noble qualities?

Liszt was lost.

After a conversation with the Count and understanding the background of the mercenary group, he felt the similarity of history in a trance.

Even though this world was very different from Earth, the realm he was in had nothing to do with Earth.

But from the essence, the relationship between the Sapphire Grand Duchy and the Eagle Kingdom.

Is it not the otherworld version of the Ming Dynasty Japanese pirate rebellion.

During the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates originated in Japan and often invaded the southeastern coastal areas of China. However, in the middle and late stages of the Japanese pirates, there were very few real Japanese pirates.

According to historical records, only three-tenths of the real Japanese pirates, and the rest are fake Japanese pirates, that is, Ming Dynasty rebels.

After all, the Japanese ronin who formed the early Japanese pirates were unfamiliar with the southeast coast and could not form a fighting force at all.

Only in collusion with the locals can they go ashore and loot everywhere.

In the Ming Dynasty anti-Japanese professional book “Chao Hai Tu Bian”, the leaders of the fourteen Japanese pirates listed are all from the Ming Dynasty.

The fundamental reason is that the Ming Dynasty implemented the sea ban, which made it impossible for coastal residents to rely on the sea to eat the sea, and they could only live as pirates.

In addition, for the sake of profit, merchants are maritime merchants when the sea prohibition is relaxed, and pirates when the sea prohibition is strict.

Even the big family members are secretly colluding, causing the pirate rebellion for hundreds of years.

This magical world.

The development order of the Sapphire Grand Duchy is similar to the Japanese pirate rebellion.

“Although we can snatch a lot of resources from the Eagle Kingdom, the real wealth created on the land has not been plundered by the lords of the Eagle Kingdom… We are probably just grabbing some mines and buying some serfs, and the rest of the materials are all Transferred by the local nobles.” In the

end.

In response to a sentence in the Yuan song – prosperity, the people suffer; death, the people suffer.

Pioneering orders came and went, and it was the hard-working civilians and serfs who were really plundered.

Liszt even thought: “Is the annual war between the Iron Ridge Kingdom and the Eagle Kingdom a bit like the Hundred Years War between Britain and France on Earth?” In the Middle Ages, Britain and France fought a war for more than a hundred years.

The nobles launched a knightly war for their own benefit.

In the end, it is naturally the civilians who suffer.

As he pondered about the war, Liszt suddenly felt a sense of lethargy, even though his soul came from the earth and had nothing to do with this world.

But he soon cheered up.

“I don’t do anything, and the commoners are still oppressed by the nobles; if I work hard and succeed in riding a dragon in the future, it might bring a new pattern to the world.”

He clenched his fists.

his eyes became firmer: “As long as I have justice in my heart and can bring a better life to the common people in the future, then my participation in war is a just act!” This self-analysis, of course, is a whitewash to wage war for profit behavior, but it is also a reflection of his heart.

The living standard of the civilians under the rule of the territory is definitely much higher than that of the civilians in other territories.

His goal is to ride a dragon and explore this wonderful world. He does not intend to pretend to be a saint, but he will not become a cold-blooded aristocrat who is mercenary.

While striving for the great cause of riding a dragon, by the way, it will bring beauty to the world, why not do it.

Wipe your mind clean.

He resumed his usual indifference, standing on the bow, holding a glass of juice, admiring the blue sky, white clouds and rippling blue waves.

Four days passed in a flash, and the fleet had successfully arrived at Niujiao City on Ironshoe Island.

The final supplies will be made here.

Six days later, the sword points to the mainland!
