And Natalie did more than that.
In Anjie''s house, when the servant told Chechen and Pedro that argyrdas had come to dinner, Pedro fell down his knife and fork and ran to the door.
In Pedro''s eyes, argildas is an accomplice and accomplice of zepesh, and also a betrayer of Chechen and the mercenary regiment. After the death of zeppesh, Pedro thought that argildas had disappeared without support. Unexpectedly, argildas dared to appear in front of him today.
"Argildas, how dare you come here!" Pedro scolded argildas standing at the door.
At this time, argildas was wearing a worn aristocratic long dress, and the scabbard of the saber was also the simplest wooden scabbard, not even copper parts.
In fact, after tsepesh''s death, argildas was very down. Colonel Jerzy halletsky also vented his anger at tsepesh on algerdas. He was removed from all his posts and then swept out of the house.
It also made algerdas see the true face of the children.
Chechen also came to the door. He saw algeldas standing under the steps and calm down to Pedro''s anger.
Chechen pushed Pedro to the front. He stood in front of argildas and asked, "argildas, what are you doing here?"
Algerdas took a roll of paper from his cuff and handed it to Cherchen.
Chechen opened the document suspiciously. Lines of familiar and beautiful letters were displayed in front of Cherchen.
The document was written by Natalie to Chechen. Natalie told Chechen that argildas is now employed by the kishka family. He is a cavalry expert. Natalie sent him here to help Chechen form a cavalry company - a wing cavalry company.
"Have you ever told Natalie that you are a traitor of our mercenary regiment? Algeldas." Chechen read the letter, then raised his head and asked algeldas.
"No, Miss Natalie doesn''t know the grudge between me and you. In fact, I didn''t know that the person I really serve was you, commander Chechen, until I accepted her employment." algerdas said with a smile. In that smile, there is a strong meaning of "this is God''s arrangement".
"Then, according to our old gratitude and resentment, why do you think I will trust you?" Chechen asked again.
"Because you need me, commander Chechen," said algeldas. "I''m an expert in cavalry warfare."
"Failed expert," interposed Pedro.
Algerdas didn''t think so. He continued to say to Chechen: "Commander Chechen, deputy commander Pedro, believe it or not, I parted hands with them after tsepesh was ordered to attack you. I used to do a lot of wrong things with the wrong people in order to revive my family, but I don''t regret betraying you, because I was sent by Prince yanush, and it''s my duty not to let you do anything sorry for the prince."
"So, you are now a member of the kishka family..."
Chechen heard the subtext of argyrdas.
"Yes, since Miss Natalie asked me to help you, I will serve the mercenary regiment wholeheartedly. Captain Chechen, those Hessians are like dogs. You need a dog trainer to make them obey," said algeldas.
After much deliberation, Chechen decided to trust argyrdas first. What he needed most was time. The mercenary regiment was going to become an army immediately, and there was not much time left. He needed to form a cavalry team of the mercenary regiment as soon as possible. So he asked: "I already have two Hessian cavalry. If you are given ten days, where are you going to start to build a 100 man wing cavalry company?"
Algeldas sneered. Before he came, he had a complete plan.
After the defeat of Prince yanush raziwiu, in addition to the imprisonment of middle and senior officers like lonzinski, most of the middle and lower level officers fled everywhere: some of them found a new position in the Allied forces by virtue of their previous relations; some voted for Prince boguslav; some fell into banditry and got involved with rout soldiers and mountain bandits; and Most are unemployed.
And algerdas knew many of them. Algerdas''s opinion was that instead of recruiting new soldiers for retraining and running in, it was better to summon these people to form a cavalry team.
The size of a wing cavalry company is about 100 cavalry. Algerdas believes that there is no need for a mercenary regiment of 2000 people in Chechen. These 100 cavalry are all wing cavalry and wing cavalry, which not only accounts for a large proportion, but also the salary is a problem. The number of wing cavalry in this company can be controlled at 20-30, and the rest are auxiliary cavalry.
Because every winged cavalry is an aristocrat before serving (supporting the aristocrat can become a winged cavalry, which is basically the unspoken rule of the Republic) , each of them will have 2-3 servants. Many of these servants have followed their master since childhood, are loyal, and can also ride horses and use weapons. Chechen can hire these servants as auxiliary cavalry by paying extra salary to the winged cavalry.
Since they are auxiliary cavalry, of course, they can fight in armor, but their combat effectiveness will be inferior to that of winged cavalry. The mercenary regiment can hand over to them defensive flanks and other combat tasks that are not very difficult. Generally speaking, the equipment for auxiliary cavalry is simple chain armour helmet and chain armour coat. The weapons can be sabers and spears. They can also be equipped with a shield and a long-range weapon.
"Will they? I mean the servants." Chechen doubted. After all, this is a matter of going to the battlefield and dying. It''s not as safe as wearing armor for the owner, taking care of horses, guarding goods, managing livestock, maintaining the owner''s armor and weapons.
"I''m just worried that they''ll break the head for this position," said algerdas.
Although the work of auxiliary cavalry is hard and life-threatening, in a long military career, if a servant of auxiliary cavalry fights bravely, he can accumulate a lot of wealth and combat experience. When the contract with Chechen expires, they can buy a suit of armor for themselves and join other regular cavalry units to get the promotion of social class.
"Well, algerdas, I officially appoint you as the cavalry captain of the mercenary regiment." after hearing algerdas''s words, Cherchen officially appointed algerdas.
"Yes, sir."
"I''ll send yelishei as the vice captain of the cavalry. You know what his duty is," Chechen said again.
"I fully understand that I will get along well with vice captain yelisi," said algerdas.
Then, Chechen asked algeldas to see a wing cavalry company standing in front of him in ten days.
