Chapter 2385-2386: The Guard

"Does it need to be said, Her Highness Uphelia is the Governor of the Eleventh District, we must act according to Her Highness Uphelia's will in public and private, and it is our honor to be able to work under Her Highness Uphelia. .”

"That's right, all of us will unswervingly stand by Your Highness Uphelia's side."

One by one, the people present couldn't wait to scramble to speak to Xiao Ran, those who looked at Xiao Ran dissatisfied or full of fear, after looking at Xiao Ran again, their eyes were full of intimacy and respect, as if they were completely complete. They all regarded Xiao Ran as one of their own, and the atmosphere was no longer oppressive but became much more relaxed and friendly.

Xiao Ran smiled and accepted everyone's oath of allegiance to Uphelia, clapped his hands, took a glass of wine from Jeremiah's hand and gently raised it: "For the empire, for the eleventh district, for Uphelia Your Highness, and for our own sake, cheers."

"cheers!"

Titles and fiefdoms have become the best bargaining chips for Xiao Ran to buy these rights holders, but if he wants to get these, he must stand on Uphelia's side, which is not worth considering for many people present The problem is that allegiance is allegiance to everyone. There is no difference between allegiance to Uphelia and allegiance to Clovis, allegiance to Cornelia, but when allegiance to Uphelia can bring them more benefits, then of course these people I would choose Uphelia without hesitation.

What's more, Xiao Ran not only put the benefits in front of them on behalf of Uphelia, but Uphelia herself is also the top official of the eleventh district who completely coerces them. They will be in complete opposition to Uphelia. Don’t talk about the benefits at that time. It is estimated that they will not even be able to keep their current positions. If Uphelia wants to change their positions, it will be just a sentence. As for the matter, the empire also belongs to the Brittalia royal family in Dana, and has nothing to do with them.

Under the huge gap that would be brought about by the two different choices, some people expressed their loyalty to Xiao Ran and Uphelia without much hesitation at all. As for those who had other considerations, ideas, or loyalty in their hearts Those who follow other princes can only follow the trend and make the same choice at this time.

And once someone keeps silent or stands up to object, someone will definitely notice them, and maybe even if Yuphelia doesn't take the initiative to attack these people, whether Xiao Ran will let them go and let them stay In the eleventh district, those who have already pledged their allegiance to Uphelia will not let them go so easily.

Xiao Ran also doesn't care if these people follow purely for loyalty, or follow for profit, or just follow falsely, these don't have much to do with it, of course it's good to have loyal people, but there are benefits In order to maintain more loyalty, as for those who falsely swear allegiance to Uphelia due to the occasion and situation, Xiao Ran will naturally catch them one by one and try to deal with them.

And now this step is not all the means for Xiao Ran to let Uphelia, or him, achieve complete control over the eleventh district.

While drinking, Xiao Ran scanned all the people in the meeting room with his eyes covered by the mask with a smile, until he took the wine glass away from his mouth, and then said again: "This time It will be the best if the communication can satisfy everyone. Then Her Royal Highness Yuphelia may launch some new policies for the eleventh district. I also hope that all colleagues can cooperate and support the rights. Starting from this morning It also requires a lot of hard work from everyone.”

"Your Highness Yuphelia means that the past can be ignored. After all, it was in the past. Now that you have decided to be loyal to Your Highness, it is tantamount to a new beginning. However, Your Highness needs to grasp the most specific and true situation in District 11. , so I hope that the reports you submit tomorrow will be detailed enough.”

"Okay, that's it for now. The deputy of your colleagues is still waiting in the Governor's Mansion. I don't have to go there. The colleagues present can also tell them all the things I just said, but no matter who , as long as you can really serve His Highness, as long as you have meritorious service in big and small things, you will definitely be rewarded."

Xiao Ran smiled and nodded to the people present, then turned around and left the conference room, Jeremiah followed behind Xiao Ran, put the wine glass he took from Xiao Ran's hand on the table casually, and then followed suit meeting room.

Following behind Xiao Ran, Jeremiah, who walked out of the conference room door, couldn't help turning his head to look at the conference room behind. After Xiao Ran left, the atmosphere inside suddenly became more enthusiastic. Get up, at least in Jeremiah's eyes, everyone inside had excited and happy smiles on their faces.

Looking back, looking at Xiao Ran's steady back, Jeremiah really wanted to ask whether all this was really permitted by His Royal Highness Uphelia, but the answer to this question had already appeared in his heart No.

In the end, Jeremiah asked another question: "Teacher, isn't it a bit inappropriate to distribute titles and fiefs at will, and the empire may not agree and admit such a thing."

Xiao Ran said calmly without turning his head: "Benefits touch people's hearts. Some people think titles and fiefdoms are important, but others think they are worthless. So what if you lose them to these people? Whether it's titles or fiefdoms, these things They can be taken back at any time and will always be in the hands of His Royal Highness Uphelia. It just depends on who is temporarily entrusted with safekeeping, whether the custodian is obedient or not, and giving them some titles and fiefdoms can make them willing to rebuild. In the ruined Eleventh District, you can take the initiative to ease the relationship with the people in the Eleventh District for the sake of profit, don't you think it's worth it?"

"As for whether the titles and fiefs of the empire will agree, who can say clearly what will happen in the future, the eleventh district is quite remote to the empire, and it is not valued at all except Yingshi, and once it becomes the real fief of His Highness , it is not His Highness who has the final say, as for the title, the empire can only agree to it at that time."

Jeremiah glanced at Xiao Ran from behind with a suspicious look. He didn't quite understand the meaning of Xiao Ran's last words, but in the end he nodded lightly and asked hesitantly, "Teacher...you used to Who is it?"

Xiao Ran stopped in his footsteps: "It's nothing more than an insignificant person to this world. What's important is that I will only do things for Uphelia now. Okay, let's talk about it, are you going to ask me what my purpose is?" What? Heh, let someone prepare a room for me here, and gather all the guards from the former Kolovis, and I will appear in my eyes before His Highness Zao Cheng opens his eyes."

Jeremiah used to be the captain of Clovis's personal guard, and had a lot of power in District 11, but because of two consecutive accidents, his reputation was greatly reduced, and the object of allegiance above his head was also affected. It was replaced by Uphelia, so even if Jeremiah hadn't been punished yet, not many people were willing to pay attention to it, and the rights obtained by relying on Clovis were completely lost.

But now he is with Xiao Ran and Euphelia again, and the lost things have not been brought back after some changes in status, but if he wants to do things according to Xiao Ran's orders, there will not be too many obstacles.

Xiao Ran's room was soon determined by the butler of the Governor's Mansion. As the guardian knight, Xiao Ran's room was arranged on the same floor as Uphelia's room, but maybe it was because of the different relationship between men and women. The other corner, which is completely opposite, is actually quite far from Uphelia's room.

After entering the room, Xiao Ran took a look around his room and lay down on the bed with his clothes on, leaning against the pillows and fell asleep. After opening his eyes again, several hours had passed. During these hours, there was no Anyone came to disturb Xiao Ran's rest, even though Xiao Ran didn't care whether he could really get a rest in this little time.

When he walked out of the room, the sun had only just risen, and the Governor's Mansion was completely silent, but Xiao Ran knew that under this silence, there were countless people in the mansion who stayed up all night, no matter whether they were attendants or guards. He is doing his work conscientiously and is ready for any orders at any time.

When Xiao Ran went to the lobby on the first floor of the Governor's Mansion quietly, he saw Jeremiah who was resting on the chairs on both sides of the hall, and there were others sitting or standing on both sides, or resting, Either a group of young people in red uniforms were talking, there were roughly a dozen people, there were men and women, but men accounted for the majority of them.

The footsteps brought by Xiao Ran's appearance were easily noticed by these people, and soon everyone, including Jeremiah who was resting with his eyes closed, stood side by side in front of Xiao Ran, lowered his voice and saluted and said hello: "Master Knight .”

Xiao Ran glanced at the dozen or so people standing in front of him, and nodded lightly: "The entire bodyguard shouldn't be just a dozen or so of you."

Jeremiah stood up and said: "The personal guards belong to the special guards of the royal family. They are independent from the special formed troops outside the local garrison. The independent army is also the strongest combat force in the eleventh district. It was originally loyal to His Royal Highness Coulovis. , with more than 2,000 members, including a logistics department, a land combat department, a KF pilot department, a flight department, an escort department, and a command department, and all the members present are heads of various departments of the SS."

"A prince's personal guard has such a large scale?" Xiao Ran was a little surprised. He really didn't know the size of the personal guard before, and asked: "In the empire, every prince and daughter's personal guard is Is it on such a scale?"

Jeremiah said without hesitation: "Of all the personal guards, only His Highness Cornelia and His Highness Schneizelu's guards can exceed the size of the guard."

Xiao Ran was thoughtful, the personal guards in District 11 originally belonged to Clovis, the reason why this personal guards made Xiao Ran feel a bit over the standard was probably clear, and besides the fact that this dead guy didn't trust the 11th In addition to the reason of the local garrison in the region, he is also a guy who likes to put on a show and pay attention to dignity. It is quite normal to create such a large-scale guard, and there is one more key point, that is, Kulovy Si this guy has some bad ideas.

Coulovis not only regards the pro-guards as his own protection force, but it is estimated that he regards the pro-guards as a combat force like Cornelia for construction.

It is understandable that Cornelia's personal guards are larger. Cornelia's personal guards are the real main battle force, and they are troops that need to fight. The logistics and combatants can be combined casually. It is easy to have more than 2,000 people. After all, combat requires more than just pilots and maintenance personnel. In this world, ordinary army units are also an important part of combat power.

And Schneizelu is also one of the most powerful figures in the empire. He should still be the prime minister of the empire. He is also a frontline commander and the best candidate for the next emperor. He has great power. It is not surprising that the troops led entirely by him are larger.

"I see." Xiao Ran nodded, glanced at the people present and said: "You should know that I am the guardian knight of His Royal Highness Uphelia, the governor, and I also received orders as the captain of the personal guard appointed by His Royal Highness." To reorganize the pro-guards, the death of His Royal Highness Coulovis as the pro-guards cannot escape your relationship, and it is only natural to disband the existing pro-guards and send you to different places."

"However, the formation of His Royal Highness's personal guard is obviously more important and urgent than dealing with your mistakes, so I decided to build a guard belonging to His Royal Highness Uphelia based on the original guard of His Royal Highness Clovis. If you are willing to serve His Royal Highness Uphelia, you can leave now."

"But if you choose to stay, then from now on, you must be absolutely loyal to His Highness unconditionally, and absolutely obey any of my orders. Those who can't do it can also leave now."

Speaking of this, Xiao Ran deliberately paused, but none of the people present chose to leave. If the personal guards were disbanded, or if one of them left the personal guards, most of them would basically be dispatched to the frontline battlefield. A little bit will be assigned to ordinary troops. Where would it be better to have the personal guards who become members of the royal family, and it is only natural that no one leaves.

And hearing what Xiao Ran said, he would not pursue what they meant, the faces of these people in front of him were more or less happy.

Xiao Ran said with satisfaction: "Very well, if no one leaves, it means that you are all willing to dedicate your loyalty to His Royal Highness Uphelia. I will not pursue the previous matter, nor will Your Highness, but I also want to remind In a word, from now on, His Highness’s safety must be put first, and the same situation as His Highness Clovis’ will never be allowed.”

"For the pro-guards, you will be responsible for the time being, Jeremiah. After sorting out the information of the pro-guards, hand them over to me. The others will maintain the stability of the pro-guards, but they also need to be prepared. Next, I will Make some adjustments to the Guards, and establish a brand new department. Veletta will be responsible for establishing a Guards, which will provide protection for His Highness's safety at close range for 24 hours. The selection of personnel is limited to women, and the Guards will be established. I'll put someone else in charge when I get up."—
