The Rise of the European Emperor

Old Hoffman and Mrs. Mary had a total of five children - Adler, Marin, Simon, Albert and Anne. At the beginning, in 1494, when Marin first came across, Simon was just a little boy less than 12 years old. Now, over the past six years, Simon has grown into an 18-year-old boy.

If old Hoffman's rules were followed, Simon would have been kicked out of the house to become a wandering knight. However, now that Simon's brother Marin is an earl of a country, it is necessary to ask Marin's opinion.

After the coming-of-age ceremony was held for Simon, the main adult members of the Hoffman family gathered together to discuss Simon's life arrangements...

"Let's talk about it, Simon is an adult, how to arrange it?" Old Hoffman raised his head, but turned his attention to Marin. Because, Marin has more strength to support his younger brother. Adler's fief was given by Marin.

Before Marin could speak, Simon, who was sitting at the end, interrupted:

"Brother Malin, arrange for me to go to the barracks. I have to rely on my military exploits to become a general!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, his head was slapped by Old Hoffman:

"The adults are talking, the children don't interrupt!"

Simon suddenly looked aggrieved:

"I'm 18 years old, I'm an adult!"

"Big P, those who are not married are children!" Old Hoffman suppressed Simon with a dignified expression. Now, it is not convenient for him to suppress the second son, and he has to give face to the eldest son. Then, the prestige of being a father can only be used on the three little ones...

Simon was suppressed and had to shrink back...

Mrs. Mary thought about it:

"Or, arrange for Simon to be a civilian official?"

Marin thinks it's good, because he is short of civil servants. Although he had recruited a group of college students before, there were not enough civil servants.

"Against, Mom, civil servants can't make great achievements. Then, when can I be promoted to Baron like my eldest brother?" Simon has great ambitions. He knows that if he doesn't have military achievements, his brother Marin will at most make him a knight. or jazz.

"Baron..." The corners of Marin's mouth twitched... What the heck, this bastard treats the Baron as Chinese cabbage!

The reason why Adler was made a baron was because he "conceded" the right of inheritance, not his military exploits. Simon, this kid, thinks that the baron is Chinese cabbage, which is simply whimsical.

You know, the counties of East Friesland are more than 3,000 square kilometers, enough for a baron? Because of the lack of land. Before, Marin reduced the baron's fief to 2000 Eugram arable land. And Adler's fief, including non-arable land, is only 4,000 Ugrams (32 square kilometers), which is basically one percent of the country's territory. Other barons don't have so much land.

Even so, if there are more barons, Marin will have no land to give...

"No, it's too dangerous to fight. If you're not careful, you will lose your arms and legs, or even die in battle." Madam immediately dismissed Simon's idea of ​​fighting.

"However, without military exploits, how can I be promoted?" Simon was very heartbroken.

Marin sighed, his eldest brother is a restless master...

Before, he also planned to let Simon become a civil servant. So he asked Mrs. Mary to teach Simon and Albert two little guys cultural knowledge. However, Simon, the boy, never forgot his identity as a descendant of knights, and continued to practice martial arts, seeking to become a warrior.

Moreover, Marin's amazing performance on the battlefield before has also deeply stimulated him. Simon even fantasizes, is he going to be a wandering knight and follow his brother Marin's line to rise?

So, this idiot went to sleep in the haystack behind the monastery in Kassel, a small town on the Rhine, where Marin was "blessed", and prayed all night, hoping that he would also be able to get Daxian's blessing. "Enlightenment" and become a genius like Marin...

In fact,

Marin was eager to organize Simon's Two Hundred Fifteen acts. Only he himself knew that he was just a transmigrator, not a "God favored one". Moreover, the place he crossed was also on the grass in the forest near the town of Cashel, not the haystack behind the monastery...

The reason why Marin lied that the haystack behind the monastery was "guided by God" is because Europeans were religious in this era. The god is associated with the monastery, and it is more "reasonable" to say that the haystacks behind the monastery are "guided by the gods".

Today, the haystacks behind Cashel Abbey have become a holy place in the minds of many wandering knights. In order to be able to get the transformation like Marin, there are really many wandering knights who go to the haystacks behind the Kassel Abbey for the night, seeking to be favored by the gods and get "enlightened"...

And Cashel Abbey is also financially minded. Before, when Marin slept there, there was only a haystack. Today, the local abbot has directly made 20 haystacks and lined them up. Also arrange a special person, charge here. Otherwise, you won't be allowed to sleep...

Simon stayed there for 20 days, slept in 20 haystacks, and did not get the legendary "god's guidance", so he had to come back in despair...

On the other hand, the younger brother, Albert, is more refined and likes to read, and he also likes to receive education from Mrs. Mary in politics. In the future, Albert can definitely be called a good civil servant.

Seeing Simon, a rebellious young man with a stubborn look of "I'm going to be a soldier", everyone had a headache, but Mrs. Mary firmly opposed it.

After all, the Hoffmans are no better than they used to be. In the past, the Hoffman family was very embarrassed, and the sons other than the eldest son had to be driven out of the manor and become a wandering knight. However, now that Marin has become an earl, he can give his younger brothers a stable and safe future, and there is no need to fight to the death.

As for Old Hoffman, although he admired Simon's bravery, Mrs. Mary insisted that he did not dare to object...

However, as a patriarch of a knight family, the old Hoffman still hopes that his son hero will be useful. So old Hoffman asked Marin:

"Son, is there any less dangerous battle. For example, there is a chance to fight against some opponents with low combat effectiveness. In this way, it is not too dangerous, and Simon can also have the opportunity to participate in the battle..."

"Where is such a battlefield..." But Marin suddenly stopped talking. Because, he remembered, there is indeed such a battlefield that meets the requirements. That is - the North American Colonial Battlefield...

Although the North American Indians are fierce, they can shoot arrows in the virgin forest to fight guerrillas. However, as long as you wear full-body plate armor, even if you can't catch up with the enemy, it's not dangerous... How can Indian bows and arrows threaten plate armor...

Simon is not the kind of ordinary person who can't run when he wears plate armor. He has been practicing martial arts for many years. He is physically strong and has the meaning of matching Adler. Therefore, it is not dangerous for him to wear plate armor and attack the Indians. Moreover, he didn't feel bad about making his younger brother Simon a baronial in North America. Because there is so much land there...

It is interesting to say that the four sons of the Hoffman family are divided into two factions. Both Adler and Simon are representatives of the Brawny faction. But in appearance, it is a little rough, following the old Hoffman. On the other hand, Marin and Albert belonged to weak and handsome men, with slightly thin bodies, but clean faces, and they all looked like Mrs. Mary.

Moreover, Adler and Simon are both good at fighting. And Marin and Albert are even more good at writing... They are brothers, but the four of them are divided into two completely different factions...

Although, it is not too dangerous to hit Indians in North America. However, Marin was also afraid that Simon would rashly advance. Because, although the Indians' bows and arrows do not shoot through plate armor. However, if you chase too hard and lose your strength, you will be easily captured. At that time, with the fierceness of the North American Indians, Simon might be killed.

Therefore, Marin thought about it for a long time and decided to let Simon follow the local army to train first, starting from a soldier and learning the rules first. After Simon's fractious character was smoothed out by strict military regulations, he was sent to North America to fight the native Indians.

For this reason, Malin specially greeted the instructors who were training recruits in the barracks, telling them not to worry about Simon's identity, what to do, and when it was time to smoke, they must not be soft-hearted. Moreover, Marin repeatedly emphasized-this is not a polite word, but a real attitude, and it is necessary to smooth out Simon's arrogant temperament because of his family background...
