Warlock Royal Family

This waited all night, until the sky began to brighten, and the Austrians who had been on guard all night did not wait for the news of the pirates coming ashore.

Although Ladislaus began to arrange for his subordinates to take turns to rest at midnight, it was still bad.

Although the soup provided by the hotel is much better than the soup made by margaritas, the prosperous business will naturally attract better chefs to settle and work.

But Jarlaxle and Kim Murray's nerves were still getting more and more tense.

As the sun rose, Jarlaxle's usual sly and confident smile could no longer be seen on his face. Sazastan and Frenzberg, who had entered the city overnight, put him under a lot of pressure. [

In addition to Kessell-Viting's cavalry regiment, there are also two infantry regiments outside the port of Trieste. Ladislaus finally decided to bring Frenzberg to him. A lot of high-quality force to suppress the formation.

After all, this is Jarlaxle's first real fight for Austria, and the necessary precautions must be taken.

Frenzberg has been Austria's sole protectorate for far too long.

In the future, there will be two "protecting the country", and the deployment will be much better, but Ladislaus is very troubled by not submitting enough certificates.

Jarlaxle also thought of this, which made him even more annoyed. Even if he didn't cheat the Barbary pirates and just helped destroy the intelligence network, Ibrahim Pasha would never consider forgiving him once.

Any effective organization must severely punish traitors, which is the most basic organizational principle.

The intelligence sector of the Ottoman Empire was certainly an effective and powerful organization.

I just don’t know how long it will take for Ibrahim Pasha to confirm his betrayal. Jarlaxle is considering whether to help Austria further destroy Hungary’s intelligence network to improve his credibility.

"Don't worry too much, maybe the Ottomans have already discovered that you have turned from the dark to the bright." Ladislaus suddenly patted the nervous Jarlaxle. "It doesn't matter. You have proved your loyalty by helping me eradicate their dark network in Austria, or the pirates are just unwilling to obey your or Hayreddin's instructions. After all, pirates are a model of organizational discipline."

Both Ladislaus and Jarlaxle knew that the sabotage of the intelligence network only minimally justified Jarlaxle's attitude, and it was not enough leverage for a person who switched sides.

Betrayal of an old organization is bound to cost the old master blood, especially for a drow.

"Austria's allowance for national defenders is [-] talers. This year's share will be distributed to you when you arrive in Vienna. This is just the minimum basic allowance, and public office income and bonuses are not included in it." Lardy Slaus suddenly mentioned the welfare of senior partners in Austria.

Cassano Cavaliers have coveted this subsidy for a long time. Generally speaking, a [-]th-level warrior will get the country's great help to help him cross the final threshold. After all, the number of "townships" is often regarded as national strength. collection of.

But Ladislaus obviously felt that Cassano was more of the force of the Cuscus Church than of Austria.

If he really crossed that line, then for the sake of his son, he would hold his nose and give him an allowance, but he had to concentrate resources to help him.It is absolutely impossible.

However, in that blessing ceremony, Cassano also received a lot of flames, even if it is not "protecting the country" for the time being, it is already close at hand.

"This is really generous." Compared with Ottoman's treatment, Austria's conditions are not bad. "I hope to give half of these allowances to my subordinates so that they can buy houses in Vienna."

"That's good, but you have a public villa." Ladislaus was very satisfied with Jarlaxle's words.It would be a little imprudent for him to give the money directly to his subordinates.

However, the drows always have to stick together in Austria. If you don’t know how to help each other when you go to a foreign country, it’s really a good way to die. [

"As well as you and your subordinates, you will also be properly arranged." Ladislaus also promised public office, and such things as compulsory exams are obviously not suitable for this world.

"Your Excellency Kim Murray, your treatment is also guaranteed." Ladislaus continued, "When you arrive in Vienna, you will receive the mage's allowance based on the evaluation results of the two senior spellcasters. If nothing else, you will also Get a welfare allocation."

Kim Murray naturally thanked her again and again.

"There are other drows that also have a future. I have already considered that all drows will be incorporated into the Vienna city defense militia system." Ladislaus' words made Jarlaxle and Kim Murray very happy, although the intelligence system There is more room for improvement, but in fact drow is not very suitable to be a spy in the human world.

No matter how powerful personal force is, it cannot compare to the disadvantages brought by race differences. Whether it is gaining trust, lurking infiltration, or retreating after a failed mission, black skin and silver hair are extremely unfavorable factors.

Ladislaus' kindness somewhat reassured the drow, but Jarlaxle knew it was because the pirates didn't come ashore on time.Ladislaus said this out of mutual trust.

However, now that things have come to this point, Ladislaus's response is still good.

"Shall we wait another day tomorrow?" Jarlaxle still did not give up.

Ladislaus shook his head: "We are going to retreat, but I will consider leaving a company in the port of Trieste, which will be expanded into a wing by the provincial government within two months. The threat of pirates to this port is exist."

Sarzastan looked at Ladislaus and said nothing. The cost of deploying field troops here is very high and the effect is limited, but this is something Machiavelli has to worry about.

The army has indeed reached a scale where it should be stationed separately.It is impossible for more than a dozen alliances to gather in Vienna, although that is easier to control.

Frenzberg has been asking for one or two alliances in each province, two in rich provinces and one in ordinary provinces.Do not concentrate all field armies in Vienna, but Ladislaus has been reluctant to do so.

Frundsberg's initiative to put forward this suggestion shows that he is a true loyal minister. Although all the new alliances are formed in Vienna, he has a lot of work pressure, but it also makes him extremely powerful. Although Ladislaus pinched Two cavalry regiments and one-third of the infantry regiments, the militia system and the Danube river army system are also out of his hands.

But two-thirds of the infantry regiments were jointly formed by him and Machiavelli, which is already a great power.

All kinds of promotions, all kinds of powers recognized by qualifications, and the powers first recognized are all in his hands.

This is the authority that all politicians strive for.

But Frundsberg did not indulge in it, but took the initiative to propose a suggestion to divide his power.

The establishment of corresponding troops by the government agencies of each province is undoubtedly a beneficial long-term development direction. Only when all provinces also participate in the army building can the efficiency be improved.

However, the armies established and maintained by various provinces naturally tend to protect their own hometowns. When entering a defensive war, there will be voices that demand to defend against the enemy outside the country.

It is difficult for an army that is all from the countryside to defend the capital honestly when its hometown is being ravaged. Officers at all levels must also have interests in their respective provinces, and they are unwilling to let their own land be ruined by the enemy.

You will be honest only if you suffer a defeat in a field battle.

But who knows if there is still a chance to be honest after a defeat? [

In order to deal with the threat of the Ottoman Empire, Ladislaus built the first-class Vienna Neustadt in Europa, not just for good looks.

Therefore, he would rather put the responsibility and authority of the military expansion work on the central army system for the time being, and would not let the provincial government play a role in this issue.

It's just that this time there is no way, Ladislaus has already figured it out, the Ottoman Empire's attack on the Kingdom of Hungary is imminent, and the activities of Barbary pirates in the Adriatic Sea will become more and more rampant.

The trade of the Port of Trieste, which is bound to be taken care of by the pirates, will inevitably decline, and there must be a countermeasure.

However, he himself is not sure how much a newly formed army wing can play in defending against pirate attacks.

'I can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. 'Ladislaus shook his head in his heart, this is really a dilemma.

The navy is really a good thing, but unfortunately Austria can't afford it.

"Your Highness Jarlaxle, this time I'm in Vienna, and I would also like to invite you to discuss with His Highness Frenzberg and make progress together." Although he admired Frenzberg's loyalty, Ladislaus was still firm. Unswervingly balancing the strength of the various troops.

This has nothing to do with trust or distrust, but that's what a qualified monarch should do.

"Where, where, the name of the Yellow Dragon Knight is majestic even in the Black Continent, what can I do next?" Jarlaxle of course wanted to keep a low profile.

Although he almost immediately understood the balancing role he had to play from Ladislaus' arrangement, he had to admit that he was indeed keen.

"Everyone, it's already dawn. If you didn't rest last night, take a rest. We'll go back to Vienna after lunch." Ladislaus turned his head and greeted Frenzberg, who was still receiving compliments. Free him from two drow's free ecstasy soup.

"Let's do some research, which company is suitable to stay in Trieste." Ladislaus can't rest, he still wants to find a company that is more elite and has a lot of bachelors to stay in the port of Trieste.

Although it is not difficult to arrange a company, the local governor has no experience in expanding the army, so there are still many arrangements to be made.

"Officers should also be more prudent, and don't lose this core company." This company must become Hayreddin's priority target.

Frundsberg nodded as he walked, indicating that he had got all the points down.

In fact, he was very disappointed with this hard-working transfer. After leaving for more than ten days, there would be a small hill of documents in Vienna for him to deal with.

But now there is nothing to do, and the enemy is not a stupid donkey at your disposal.

But just as many Austrians were planning to take a break for a while, the situation changed again.

A scout who had been left at the dock rushed in, and he brought the news the Austrians had been waiting for.

"Your Highness, the pirates have landed." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please go to read.)
