Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 352: Nord College

Two days passed quickly. The next morning, Phyllis and others waited at the gate very early. An hour after the gate was opened by the soldiers, the old Jonny and his caravan arrived late. Seeing Phyllis and others waiting there, old Jonny's face showed an embarrassing smile. He scratched his head and said to Phyllis: "Something happened just now, now we can go."

"Okay." Phyllis nodded, and motioned for the followers to follow up and merge into the caravan. After the old Johnny paid a few silver coins to the gatekeeper to pay the toll, the caravan was able to let it go and slowly leave this peaceful and peaceful port city.

Listening to the crisp stomping sound of horses hooves on the paved road, Phyllis listened to the caravan guards chatting and laughing, oh, forgot to say, the day before departure, Phyllis didn't use much. His savings gave him and his entourage a fast horse each. These horses are said to be excellent breeds from the Lasik Plain, so they are more expensive.

At this time, the conversation of several caravan guards reached Phyllis' ears, making him **** up his ears with interest and listen.

"Have you heard? A while ago, a wild boar group rammed in the territory of Crunia in the Principality of Pecs, killing many people. Even the lord's army could not help the group of beasts." A middle man holding a spear. The young man sat on the side of the carriage and said to the horse guards on the side.

"Isn't this a normal thing? Similar things happen almost every year." The other guard said indifferently, as if he had become accustomed to it.

Not only did he think so, but other guards also thought so. One of them with a short bow on his back said in a ridiculous tone: "There is nothing famous in the Principality of Pecs, but this wild boar herd is the only It is well known, in other words, the wild boar herd is already the most famous specialty of the Principality of Pecs."

"Who wants this special product? It's too dangerous." The coachman who drove the carriage interrupted, "I remember that there was a nobleman who was whimsical and wanted to catch a wild boar as a mount and train a wild boar rider, but he failed in the end. Because the wild boar is not easy to control, it is easy to lose control and hurt itself."

"Boar Rider? Shit..."

Although I don’t know if this boar rider is real, Phyllis couldn’t help but laugh. What a genius is that would come up with this unit. To be honest, it’s more expensive to ride a bull than a boar rider. It's more reliable.

...

After several years of recuperation, the national power of the Lijin Principality has initially recovered a lot. The farmland on both sides of the road is no longer in the barren state of a few years ago, but is full of various crops, and the distant villages are no longer unpopulated. , Those walking businessmen carrying large bags and crutches are also active in the fields again.

Speaking of it, to be able to recover from years of wars and chaos to the present level, we still need to rely on the Winster Kingdom in the south. After the strong rise of the Winsters, the two small countries in the north instantly knew that they were afraid. , To accumulate strength, for fear that the Winsters would go north and annex them someday, in order to be more secure, they also joined the encirclement net against the Kingdom of Winster.

I don’t know whether joining the siege network played a role or for other reasons. The Winster Kingdom did not go northward, but recuperated like them, traded with neighboring countries, and developed the domestic economy. Even a few months ago, the first royal academy in the Kingdom of Winster was completed in its king’s capital, Nord. It attracted many noble children and people from surrounding countries to sign up. For those who came to sign up, King Richard They did not refuse, but deliberately increased the tuition fees for foreigners. Even so, they still could not stop the enthusiasm of foreigners to sign up.

Richard knew that the purpose of these foreigners coming to study was nothing more than to learn the knowledge of gunpowder and weapons, to apply it to the army of his country, and in turn to deal with the Winsters-but Richard would be so stupid. Yes, the chemical knowledge about gunpowder is not in the content of the knowledge taught, and in fact, Richard has no relevant talents to send to be a lecturer, because in this backward era, the formula of gunpowder is only Richard and research All those who have mastered it.

So, what does this royal family teach? Because of the lack of specialized talents, there are not many courses for the first session, which are divided into three areas: military, economics, and management. The military, as the name suggests, is to impart knowledge of military command. There are those who command infantry, cavalry, and the navy (but due to space constraints, the Naval Academy is established on Kuban Island). The lecturers are officers who have retired from the corps. As well as retired generals who came from other countries admiringly; the economy is simple, mainly commercial trade and business industry, which invites the business affairs officers recruited from the system and some outstanding indigenous businessmen as lecturers; as for the last management , It’s about some administrative knowledge. Most of the lecturers are brought here from the academy in Yakik City, half-forced and half-invited. They are experienced and used to be the mainstay of Yakik Academy, and when they left Yakik After that, the academy there gradually fell into disarray.

In addition to these three courses on the bright side ~lightnovelpub.net~ there are some courses that cannot be placed on the bright side and are not open to the public. This kind of course is about the infiltration, spying, and incubation of spies. , Poisoning, destruction, and assassinations, assaults, and kidnappings of assassins. These two kinds of vocational training are aimed at newly recruited spies and assassin agents. According to Richard's order, any newly recruited agent must undergo a period of training at Nord Academy to enhance their related abilities.

At the same time as the main body of the academy was completed, in addition to the Naval Academy on Kuban Island, there was also a seminary built next to the Nord Cathedral. This seminary was not only for priests’ apostles, but also allowed other than serfs and slaves. Anyone sign up to participate. The dean of the seminary will be personally appointed by Cardinal Peter Scanrell. As the highest religious leader of the kingdom, he is the only suitable candidate for dean and the person most revered by all priests-except for His Majesty Richard Caesar. Besides, he is the only one.

...

On the way Prince Phyllis went to Tuss City, the thing he heard the most was about the college in Nord City. He saw with his own eyes many aristocratic people sitting in the restaurant in the hotel, discussing enthusiastically. The longing and yearning of Noord College, he also got some interest while listening, so he took the wine glass and walked to them politely. Speaking not very proficient in Vadasian, the gentleman asked: "Excuse me, What do you call Nord College?"
