Alien Empire Total War

"cheers!"

"Let's toast Charlie Close, the youngest brigade commander in the kingdom!"

"Brad, it's the Republic now, pay attention to your wording."

"..."

In the noisy banquet, listening to the toasts about him around him, Charlie drank the fine wine in the glass with a smile.

This is the noble district, the manor of the Xenia family. After the war, the Xenia family specially held this banquet in order to thank Charlie for saving Sophia earlier. Although Charlie was not interested in it, he and his family stayed together. Get up here.

Putting the empty wine glass on the table beside him, Charlie looked at Aurel Nicea and his sister who were walking towards him. Both of them were wearing luxurious aristocratic clothes with decent smiles on their faces. A young girl named Sophia is no longer as embarrassed as she was at the time. She is wearing a long white dress with a slender waist that can be grasped. A pearl necklace is worn on the slender and white swan neck. The glow of the jewelry highlights her tenderness. The skin is fair and translucent.

The two walked up to Charlie. Aurel held a cup in his left hand and said enthusiastically, "Charlie, I'm very glad that you were invited to this banquet. I heard Minister Gouniela say before that you are not interested in banquets."

"It's hard to be kind." Charlie said with a smile, and he looked at Sophia who was standing next to Aurel. The girl was looking at Charlie in a traditional military uniform with smiling eyes, and found that Charlie was also watching When she was looking at herself, she hurriedly looked away.

"Miss Sophia, I'm glad to see you are safe and sound."

He said in a flat tone, making people unable to hear the emotions contained in it.

"I'm also very happy to meet you, Your Excellency."

The girl quickly reacted after a brief panic. She lifted her skirt and curtseyed to Charlie. Her voice was soft, and for some reason Charlie could vaguely feel a little nervous.

Charlie didn't think about it, he turned to look at Aurel, and the latter said, "Charlie, what's your plan next? I heard that the rebellion in the south was not quelled by the king's abdication, if nothing else. If so, you are likely to be sent to the south to suppress the rebellion."

"If the War Department is going to send me to the South, of course I will follow the order." Charlie replied, "It's just that I have to reorganize the army before that, hoping to recruit enough soldiers."

In the end, he seemed a little helpless, because in the revolution he was in the king's army that suppressed the revolution, and the citizens of Ankerton City did not have a good opinion of him, and wanted to recruit him in the Ankerton Region. It may be difficult to have enough troops.

Now is not a time of war. He cannot forcibly arrest civilians and convert them into militia as before, and he is not going to convert everyone in the future army into system soldiers. It will cost too much money. Maintenance fees are also huge.

Although he now has more than 200,000 gold coins in his hand, this is not the way to use it. He plans to use the current infantry regiment as the basis, ordinary soldiers to serve as middle and lower-level officers, and the original officers to be promoted to one level. In the hands, even if the ordinary soldiers are natives who have not undergone conversion, it will not have much impact.

Of course, the most important thing is that this method saves money. He only needs to pay maintenance fees to the soldiers of the system who are officers. He doesn't need to worry about the issue of military salaries. The government will pay for him.

Hearing Charlie's helpless speech, Aurel chuckled and said, "Well, tomorrow I will make a suggestion to you and give you a military fee to recruit troops in the south. I remember that your family's fief is in the south. , recruiting troops in your family's fiefs will not be opposed."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Charlie nodded, although he could talk to Uncle Gunilla himself about it, but since Aurel took the initiative, he didn't have to go there in person.

After Aurel agreed, he made another excuse to walk away, leaving his sister to entertain Charlie alone. Sophia obviously did not expect that Aurel would let her stay, and she seemed a little anxious for a while. She paused, raised her head as if she had mustered up her courage, and said softly:

"Your Excellency, I heard that you once fought against the Okalos on the Western Front. Can you tell me what you saw there?"

Charlie was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and said with a smile, "Of course, Miss Sophia, you can also call me by my name, Charlie."

Then, he shared with Sophia his experience on the front line. Of course, most of these experiences were the experiences of the former owner when he crossed the line. He was just sharing it with spiciness—it would be too bland to tell the truth. , After all, how many interesting experiences can a second lieutenant have.

Aurel, who was standing in the distance, glanced at Charlie, who was talking eloquently, and Sophia, who was listening attentively, with a smile on his face. He couldn't help but praise his wit. He had already seen his sister's thoughts. What a young noble girl desires most is the knight in fairy tales, and Charlie, who rescued her from danger, happens to become the knight in Sophia's heart~www.wuxiamtl.com~ and becomes the object of the girl's admiration.

As an elder brother, Aurel is very willing to help his sister fulfill her dream of marrying a heroic knight. Moreover, Charlie has become a brigade commander at a young age and has a promising future. He is also from a famous military family in China, no matter which way you look at Sophia. If they can get married with Charlie, their family is the one who makes money.

He cheered for his sister in his heart, and then continued to talk with the nobles around him.

On the other side, after Charlie shared (chui) and (niu) his experience in the front line, he saw Sophia frowning, she patted her still developing breast, and said in shock: "After being hit by a bullet, I still can't do it. Holy Spirit to come back alive, Your Excellency Charlie, what a heroic act of yours."

Speaking of the back, she looked at Charlie with admiration in her eyes.

Hearing this, Charlie smiled slightly, only to think that this little girl is so foolish, he replied: "This is my duty as a soldier, Miss Sophia, I believe that if your brother Aurel goes to the battlefield, he will also behave like Equally heroic."

"Of course!" Sophia said proudly, then she suddenly lowered the volume and asked, "Your Excellency Charlie, do you like watching dramas?"

She talked so fast that Charlie didn't react for a while. He paused and replied, "It's alright, what's wrong?"

"Well..." The girl who got the answer suddenly became tangled. She lowered her head and was silent for a few seconds before she raised her head and said with courage:

"In two days, can I invite you to go to the National Grand Theater with me? I heard that it has reopened."

She finished speaking quickly, but couldn't help but lower her head again, daring to look into Charlie's eyes.
