You were made to farm, and now you're the emperor of an empire?

Chapter 227 Fight for me, die for me
Luca came from the heavy infantry, and Roman later appointed him as the cavalry captain.

Despite being composed entirely of light cavalry, the impact of the warhorses was not diminished in the slightest.

It's like standing on the side of the road and seeing many vehicles whizzing by at 60 kilometers per hour.

Modern people would take it for granted, and at most be glad they weren't hit.

But for people of this era, this is a very shocking scene.

Why is the Conqueror Knight considered invincible?

It's not just because of their inherent power.

More importantly, inexperienced people will suffer a psychological and morale collapse when they encounter cavalry.

It's like a modern person walking along when suddenly a bolt of lightning strikes their side; anyone would have to exclaim, "Holy crap!"

Luca led his cavalry in a full-speed charge, two hundred swift warhorses rushing past the infantry square like a torrent.

The warhorses and infantry were less than a meter apart, but the soldiers still gripped their spears tightly without wavering.

This approach can improve the military's resilience.

Having experienced it, my threshold has been raised, and I won't be too afraid of cavalry in the future.

Roman was very satisfied with the effect.

There were some mishaps during the recruit training. But considering they had been in the army for less than two months and were being inspected by Roman, some mishaps were to be expected.

Next came the heavy shield bearers—it was expected that they would do well, but if they didn't, they would be punished.

Next came the archers' shooting practice; this unit itself was composed of talented soldiers selected from various infantry battalions.

The elite archers were survivors of Roman's raid on Condé.

They fought the fiercest battles and suffered the most casualties, for which they received commendations and medals from Roman, who wanted them to carry on that spirit.

This is the embryonic form of military heritage and the beginning of military honor; we must do our utmost to cultivate it.

After the military exercise review, Roman found that their combat capabilities were within expectations and sufficient to handle the upcoming battle.

……

Also at the military training ground, Roman dispersed the ordinary soldiers.

The first plenary military conference was convened.

The participants were all non-commissioned officers.

Even the cooks and medical team were present.

Three-quarters of those present were Roman apostles.

“Building an army has always been an arduous and demanding task, but I am very satisfied with what you have accomplished.” These were his first words.

Most of the non-commissioned officers immediately smiled.

One of the reasons I went to such lengths was to gain his approval.

"But that's not enough,"

Roman gestured.

"My warriors, the external situation has entered a rather complex phase. These forces are far from sufficient to cope with the future. We must continue to expand, and arduous battles await us."

“You have awakened. Many of you know many words and should know the mission you bear—our compatriots and our people are now living in dire straits, being harmed by those so-called nobles. The scenes are unbearable to look at and too terrible to bear.”

“I am your lord, your king of the valley, and I am also the only true lord and true king of this era. I cannot stand idly by.”

"I call upon you, I command you to save them! To save this suffering land!"
“Every loaf of white bread eaten by those hypocritical lords is baked from the flesh and blood of the people!”

“Every sip of wine that those cold-blooded nobles drink is watered with the blood of the people!”

"They are eating people! This era is eating people! This era has bred a devil in human skin, who elegantly cuts food with a knife and fork. Their sanctimonious behavior seems to be able to cover up the cruel fact that they are eating our parents and our children!"

"This is the most evil thing! This is the most unjust thing!"

Roman surveyed them, his intensely focused eyes scanning them. He saw their silence and anger, like a volcano about to erupt. "Origin City is currently mining gold, but gold is just something easily obtained."

"For me, the most precious treasure in the world is the people, all the people on this land, especially those who are loyal to me."

"I cannot bear to see the people suffer, toil, hardship, and torment..."

"Therefore, I command you to be the shield of the people and to protect them."

"For the people, wage war and hang all those hypocritical nobles in human skin at your feet, teach them to repent, teach them to pay for their sins, and teach them to know that those they oppress are not without protection!"

"I command you all to extend a helping hand! Humanity cannot stand idly by; we must extend a helping hand to our impoverished and desperate compatriots! Everyone should have this belief! Give generously to the poor and weak!"

"You have dedicated yourselves to this cause, shedding blood and sacrificing your lives, but history will remember your achievements and the people will never forget you."

"When you dedicate yourself to your community, to your fellow countrymen, you are the true heroes! Even a dwarf has a great body, and even a coward has a shining heart."

"This is glory! Believe me, there is no greater glory than this."

"I will give you glory! I will bless my heroes! Whether you live or die, I will give you glory! I will bless you!"

"Die for me and you will receive the highest glory and blessings!"

Roman suddenly stood up. He stood on the platform, raised his right hand, and stood in the winter sun, where it shone brightly.

All the sergeants were filled with excitement, gazing longingly at that glorious and upright figure. They were all too excited to speak, and could only respond with shouts!
The most fervent were the apostles who had received blessings, were undergoing transformation, and whose physical abilities had greatly improved.

"For the Lord!"

"For the King of the Valley!!"

The roar grew more intense and higher with each beat!
……

After leaving the military camp, Roman successfully brainwashed those little cuties once again.

But the deception was just a side effect.

His trip was to lay the foundation for the future legion system.

Now that the military force has the foundation to form a legion, it needs to be developed to the next level – that is, it needs a supreme military commander.

To assess the situation, take overall control, and plan everything for the war.

Roman is capable of this task.

But he really doesn't have enough energy right now.

Becoming the highest commander in the army means managing all soldiers in every detail, and spending most of your time in the barracks every day without being able to leave.

Roman can only play offline, so what kind of role is he?
Therefore, he appointed Jeter as commander and Dick as deputy commander.

Their positions were somewhat ambiguous in the past, since they were all warrior knights—Jet was a swordsman and also a superhuman soldier, and his status in the manor was the same as that of the warrior knights.

There is no distinction of rank among them, whether it's during training, mealtimes, or military regulations.

They discussed and agreed on everything.

After a consensus discussion, the choice was usually to listen to Jett.

Dick is experienced, but somewhat lazy.

Green's frivolous style of handling affairs makes him unpopular.

Aaron was a real taciturn fellow; you couldn't get a word out of him in the army camp. One minute he'd say, "I'm the same way," and the next, "I'll listen to you."

Nathan Kao and others are not on the candidate list.

Only Jeter seems reliable.

Roman was well aware of this, so Jeter's position as commander-in-chief was now clearly defined.

Then he had to worry about something else.

That is the apostle's change of profession.
