Chapter 669 Guards

Sergei is over 40 this year, and for people of this era, he has entered middle-aged and elderly.

But he is still strong, with bright eyes and excellent mental state.

For a knight, he is about to enter a period of rapid decline in his career, but for a political life, there is still a long time.

Although Sergei is not well-known in the Great Xia Empire, his previous positions are not small figures.

If the military makes a list, he can also be in the top 20.

So, there is no one more suitable than him.

Derek chose to call his second brother back to escort Qin.

When his generation went out to make a living, the elders also did their best to escort.

Derek, who chose to go alone, was only the father of the baron at that time, and could only provide some financial and human help.

Sergei, who chose to enter the kingdom system, also served as a low-level officer in the Iron Wall Corps with a letter of recommendation.

Now it is Qin's turn, the only difference is that the protection he enjoys is more exaggerated.

After the two brothers showed concern for each other for a few words, they quickly got to the point.

Derek directly stated his intention: "The war in the New World is about to enter a high-intensity tug-of-war. The Empire will reap the fruits of the New World at one time. I plan to let Qin take his brothers with him."

Sergei understood that this was to call him back to support the battle.

A reliable and experienced veteran, the importance is self-evident.

And Sergei's special identity ensures that if there is an unexpected situation, such as when Qin is confused, someone can stop him.

Or in an emergency, he can calm the situation.

Sergei did not object to this arrangement, and only he was the most suitable.

The brothers of the previous generation, the eldest brother inherited those things from the family, and the fourth brother really didn't fight a few serious battles.

So considering all factors, he is still the most suitable.

He didn't even think about it, and agreed: "No problem, you hand Qin to me, there will be no problem."

He said it so absolutely, without even a euphemistic modesty.

This is a real brother, talking about risks is meaningless.

Since Derek made this decision, it is obvious that he has considered the risks.

Now all he had to do was to keep a close watch and bring the little guys back smoothly.

Derek smiled and patted his second brother's shoulders a few times, saying, "Then I'll leave Qin and the others to you. I'll arrange some time these days to bring the children to meet you."

Only then did Sergei realize that there might be several illegitimate children with Qin?

The two brothers were face to face, and he had no worries, so he asked directly, "Since Qin has gone to the New World, should Hans stay? Are the others your illegitimate children?"

"Hans will go with him, and the others are indeed children born outside. You should take care of them when the time comes."

Sergei didn't think there was anything wrong with what his brother did.

He had seen a lot of these messes between nobles.

The matter of the guards was initially decided, but there were still many details to be perfected.

The organization of the guards, the selection of generals, the source of soldiers, and even the scale, number of people and resources invested in the New World campaign all require a little bit of planning.

It just so happened that there was still some time before Claire gave birth, and Sergei came early and could also participate.

After a brief explanation, Derek took Sergei to a family dinner.

In fact, I didn't have much contact with the relatives of the Ferreira family.

With different status, these people of the same generation also kept their distance.

In addition, everyone had their own things to do, so they didn't meet each other many times a year.

But the exchanges and letters between each other were not less, and they didn't feel awkward and strange when they met again.

At the dinner table, Derek mentioned this for the first time.

"When my second brother comes back this time, he will serve as the commander of Qin's guards and be responsible for forming the guards.

After Claire's delivery, Qin will go to the New World for me and deal with the survivors of the four countries."

Qin knew this news, but he didn't tell Claire.

When she heard it for the first time, Claire was a little surprised, but she was very calm.

In just a moment, she accepted this matter.

If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

There are times when the crown prince of a country can't help himself.

This is Qin's responsibility, he can't avoid it, and there is no need to avoid it.

Since the day she chose Qin, Claire had been mentally prepared.

So she didn't make a fuss or get scared. Instead, she stood up and bowed to Sergei.

"Second uncle, Qin doesn't have much experience in battle, so I'll trouble you to keep an eye on him to avoid mistakes. My niece would like to thank him first."

Sergei quickly dodged to the side, then reached out to support Claire: "Don't be polite to me, I'm also Qin's second uncle, it's my duty to keep an eye on him.

And you have to be careful, wait until we come back to thank, pay attention to the child."

Obviously, the child in Claire's belly has a different weight.

Even now, there are still people paying attention.

Jokingly speaking, whoever is reincarnated here is also amazing.

Claire's performance is even more admirable, not everyone can sit still.

Derek was very proud and praised directly: "If Claire was my son, I would definitely pass the throne to her. Second brother, what do you think of my choice of daughter-in-law?"

Sergei smiled and said nothing. How could he respond to this?

However, this close contact did give him a concrete impression of Claire.

In the past, he only knew that this niece-in-law was a powerful character. At least the things she did were more than most people.

Now, when they met, they were even more powerful than the rumors.

How could an ordinary woman have such a temperament?

Indeed, the third family has always had good vision.

After a meal, Sergei got a little familiar with everyone. He will stay in the imperial capital for a long time next, and there will be many opportunities to meet again.

...

After just a few days of rest, Sergei entered the working state.

His position as the commander of the guard was directly appointed by the palace, and it was essentially a title granted by the royal family.

In the new military system, there is no such position.

However, as long as there is the support of the imperial power, it is easy to gain power.

Sergei was ordered to form a guard, and the first thing he did was to select a group of personal guards.

This is the personal guard of the later Qin, and also the grassroots officers of the guard, which cannot be ignored.

Naturally, his first target was still the Knights of Augusta.
