Chapter 417 Ideological Infiltration
"First of all, I think Lord Masno is worthy of being your champion warrior. His performance on the battlefield is like the envoy of Esun, full of power, bringing ice and death to the enemy."
Caution is the new knowledge Rascal has learned in the past few years. Before he can figure out why the Dragon Prince summoned him, it is better to be cautious.
But Imric didn't intend to let the sergeant praise his champion warrior any more, interrupting Raskel's desire to continue praising Damian.
"What I want to hear is your feelings, not other things. I read the file report on you before the physical abnormalities appeared, and found that you seem to be very interested in philosophy and political knowledge."
"I believe that a person who lacks ideas will not touch either. Tell me how you feel after leaving Kislev."
Rascal was stunned. Based on his previous impression of the Dragon Prince, he would not refuse compliments on force and glory.
Then he lowered his head and thought about his feelings during this time.
After a moment, he raised his head, "Calledor, or Ulthuan, I envy you very much. You have a land suitable for survival. Even in the high mountains of Caledor, you can still support hundreds of thousands of people. While ensuring that the kingdom has sufficient military strength, it can also ensure the livelihood of the people."
"Continue, this conversation will not be known to a third person." Imrik said calmly, motioning for Raskol to continue.
"My hometown is in the north of Kislev, and the living conditions there..." Raskel lowered his head, as if unwilling to recall his childhood experience, and continued, "The gods have arranged the location of each kingdom. , this is something we cannot change.”
"But during this period of time, I have been deeply aware of the stupidity of the rulers of Kislev and the contradictions of this cold kingdom. The legitimacy of the nobles' rule comes from the threat of chaos that appears at all times. It is undeniable that they did what they did a long time ago. It worked well, but now it has turned into a bunch of trash that lies on the people and sucks blood."
"I admire you very much, because you have led Caledor to gradually restore its past glory, and your political opinions are also highly respected. No one will doubt any of your decisions, but the situation in Kislev..." Raskol Shaking his head slowly, he was somewhat pessimistic about the situation in Kislev from some colleagues in the advance team during this period.
The newly crowned Tsarina sealed off the city of Kislev, established a secret police agency, and firmly controlled the surrounding land, but lacked actual control over other places.
A large number of nobles gathered in the palace, turning a blind eye to the needs of the people in the territory. Every day ended with overeating and having fun.
As the ruler, Czarina Catherine only visited Erengrad and returned to the palace after bringing a large number of items from Young Dragon Bay. No one knew what she was thinking.
Hearing Raskol's words, Imric tapped his fingers on his arms. He had also heard about Kislev's situation.
The general situation now is that except for Erengrad, which Caledor tried to protect before, most areas have fallen into a kind of intelligence restricted area. It is not that it is difficult to penetrate, but except for the areas outside Kislev, most areas It's all the same as before, with a large number of civilians being sent to abandoned villages to repeat what their ancestors have done countless times.
The city of Kislev, where the Czarina is seated, has not had personnel from other countries enter for a long time. I am afraid no one knows the specific situation.
But the most serious one was Prager. After the Ostermark and Osterland construction teams mysteriously disappeared, the Elector chose to cut off contact with the Tsarina because she did not give a clear reply.
As the emperor, Magnus sent a special envoy to ask Catlin, but the reply he received was that the construction team was all killed by Norska. Kislev would avenge them, but the empire's support could not be left behind.
Under pressure from the Elector, Magnus did not send out any more construction teams, but only gave some material support because of the importance of the Northern Kingdom to the empire.
The relationship between the two countries has reached a low point from the state of unity during the great jihad.
"You are a person with ideas. I previously proposed in the Noble Council that the humans under your rule can also receive high-level education, so as to ensure that there is a sufficient talent reserve in the country." Imrik began to write and perform on his own, and the nobles Parliament has not been convened for several years, but this does not mean that I cannot fly this flag.
"But unfortunately, there are always some objections to this in the country. They believe that humans only need to be a labor force and receive basic education. Caledo has the power to protect them and provide fairly good living conditions."
Rascal nodded to express his understanding. All the mercenaries in the advance team had received literacy education and were required to at least be able to understand the various marks on the military map. He was just a curious person and learned more.
"You are a good start. At least you have gained some merits on the battlefield, which can make many members of the Noble Council hesitate for a moment and obtain more favorable conditions for the humans under Caledor's rule."
"What do you want me to do?" Raskol vaguely understood what Imrik was going to say next, and an unbelievable thought emerged in his mind.
"I can specially approve you to enter Tal Khaled Academy for two years of further study. As a trial of a new system, the palace will ensure that you will not be interfered by anyone, as long as you can hand over a A satisfactory report." Imric did not intend to test whether Raskel had any intention to further his studies. Even if it was a forced order, he would have to let him enter the academy for two years.
As for whether other humans would have the opportunity to enter the academy, Imrik believed that unless he had specially approved it and had achieved some meritorious service on the battlefield, it would be impossible for the dean to accept multiple monkeys into the sacred academy given his temper.
Raskol lowered his head and began to think about this matter. Five years of the eight-year employment period have passed, and it only takes three years to return to Kislev. This means that there is no need to face these arrogant elves anymore. and the dangerous battlefield environment.
The noncommissioned officer's choice of eight years is to settle the eight-year employment fee in one lump sum. As long as the money is obtained, he can buy a manor in his hometown and live the life of a gentleman that most soldiers long for; or in Erengrad Purchase a merchant ship, rely on the connections you have accumulated with some Caledor elves during your service, and purchase the goods in short supply first, thereby obtaining extremely high profits.
But if he hesitates for too long, he will not join the Caledor mercenary army with Mazov. Instead, he will follow the refugees to a certain city in the empire and become a member of the port gang.
"This is my honor. When will this further training begin?"
"After the war is over, or in other words, when you can leave the battlefield alive."
