I, the prince in distress, send money

Chapter 75 Isaac's Doubts
Isaac needs to discuss with Prince Chris about Camp Anza and the supply of today's militia.

Under the guidance of the camp guards, Isaac quickly arrived outside Chris's tent. Before he got close, he heard voices coming from inside, and he subconsciously stopped.

In fact, if Isaac didn't stop, he would get beaten.

Mia, who was wearing a small military uniform, a white helmet, and holding a black short stick, and was not even as tall as the flintlock behind her, was staring at Isaac at the tent door.

He looked like he was going to pick up a stick and hit him if he took a step forward.

Mia's pet, Aisha, also stood up in the shadow of the tent on the side, lowered her head, and if Mia launched an attack, the big white pig would also charge.

Isaac looked at Mia and her pet, who looked wary, and sighed.

Some time ago, Mia pulled Chris's hand and asked to follow him. When the latter nodded reluctantly, Isaac spoke out to stop her on the spot.

"Whatever she does, just leave her in the town."

Isaac did not agree to let the little girl join the army. Firstly, it was a taboo for women to join the army.

The army is made up of men, and mixing women in it will lead to some intolerable things happening.

Therefore, Western feudal armies were usually followed by mobile technician convoys to serve soldiers with money and energy. Even a small unit of only a few hundred people would have followers.

The militia grain transport team formed by Chris has a scale of thousands of people, but there is no similar existence, so Isaac is very worried about such things happening.

Chris waved his hand.

"Just make sure everyone is busy. I've already had a military law drafted, but I haven't announced it yet because the timing isn't right."

"Okay, but I still think Mia is not suitable for joining the army."

Isaac's second reason for objection was that Mia was too young. Although she said she was sixteen, Isaac always felt that she did not look like that. She should be only about fourteen.

Such a young child, especially a girl, is not suitable for long journeys.

Even adults cannot bear the hardship and fatigue of traveling, let alone an underage girl.

"I know...but there are some things I can't explain to you."

Chris was very distressed. There were some things he knew, but he didn't know how to explain them to Isaac.

It’s like talking about colors to a person who is born blind. How can you explain it so that the other person can understand?

Chris didn't know, so he could only let Isaac deal with Mia and dissuade her from following him.

As a result, Isaac was dealt with... Aisha used a fierce pig charge, knocking the Bohemian veteran two meters away and making him fall in a dog-eating shit position.

After this incident, Isaac no longer wanted to stop Mia.

He couldn't even beat a pig, so he had no face to say that Mia was no good.

Now Isaac was standing outside Chris's tent, looking at Mia with a tense face and an expression that said "I'm not someone to be trifled with". He immediately raised his hands to cover his face, speechless.

It should be something that happened before. Isaac always felt that this little girl was very hostile to him. Whenever he approached Chris's tent, she would stare at him covetously.

When there was someone inside, every time she took a step closer, the black stick of unknown material in her hand would tighten a little.

I don't know what's with that stick. Mia isn't very strong, but every time she hits me with it, it knocks me to the ground, leaving me numb and unable to get up for a long time. After experiencing Mia's two sudden attacks, Isaac was no longer willing to get close to this little girl.

It was humiliating to be knocked to the ground by her, but it was also shameful for Isaac to subdue her... What's so glorious about bullying the weak?
"Who is His Highness Chris in there with?"

Isaac asked from three steps away from Mia, who remained silent and alert.

The Bohemian veteran sighed again, reached into his pocket, took out a piece of sugar, and threw it over.

Mia caught it quickly, then after glancing at her palm, she stuffed the thing in her hand back into Aisha's open mouth without looking back.

After completing this gesture, Elsa walked away, but Mia continued to stand there, staring at Isaac with wide eyes without saying a word.

Isaac groaned when he saw this.

"You greedy little devil, could you please stop thinking about my meager quota..."

Mia didn't say anything, but her eyes brightened. She knew that Isaac had surrendered.

After complaining, Isaac reached into his pocket again. This time he took out a piece of candy wrapped in rice paper and threw it to Mia.

This time, Mia took the candy but did not put it into her mouth in a hurry. Instead, she skillfully tore off the outer layer of rice paper, put it under her nose and sniffed it gently. After making sure the smell was correct, she put it into her mouth.

Mia's eyes narrowed into crescent shapes as she took a bite of the milky white candy.

"The good-looking guy is with the four guys holding the flags."

Isaac knew that the good-looking man referred to Prince Chris, and the person holding the flag, he thought about it seriously, and combined with the four numbers, Isaac quickly figured out who the four people were.

Currently, Prince Chris personally commands the Chapter Masters of four Chapters.

To be honest, Isaac was very opposed to the chapter system. In his opinion, the so-called chapter was a waste and dispersed of their own combat power.

How many people are there in the four regiments?

Excluding the one hundred or so mercenaries brought from the empire by the prince's confidants, the so-called four regiments only had about four hundred people in total. Their combat effectiveness was worrying and they had no ability to fight independently.

Isaac strongly disapproved of the emergence of the battle group. During the march, he suggested to Chris more than once that they disband it and organize its members into an infantry battalion to fight under the command of one person.

Isaac did not want to take away Prince Chris's command. He just thought from a military perspective that it was a waste to disperse 400 people into four unconnected teams.

However, Prince Chris, who has always been open-minded and sensible and willing to accept advice, was very stubborn in this matter. No matter how he was persuaded, he just shook his head.

"No way, Isaac, they can't hold it together."

"why?"

"You'll know the reason later. I can't tell you now."

After a while, Isaac gave up the idea, but he still disliked those four regiments.

So, Isaac is now very curious about what Prince Chris and the chapter leaders are talking about inside.
