Twenty-year-old Emparo is tall, only half a head shorter than Green, about 1.75 meters tall.
Her long light brown hair is casually tied behind her head, which makes her look both feminine and heroic.
Slightly dark wheat-colored skin, slightly rough.
The muscles on his body are smooth and not bulky.
Most women in the Kleber territory farm and hunt like men, and those like Emparo are considered to be well-maintained.
Emparo was wearing a brown linen robe that left his arms exposed. The hem of the robe only reached mid-thigh and was tied with a thick rope around his waist.
His calves were bound with bandages, and his feet wore straw sandals woven from wheat straw.
Perhaps noticing Green's gaze, Emparo flexed and stretched his toes a few times.
It was the first time that the lord summoned him personally, and it was quite sudden. Hunting expert Emparo was very nervous.
"Emparo, it's rumored that you hunted a black bear?"
Although Green's voice was a little immature, it was steady enough and showed a maturity that was not in line with his age. Emparo's nervous mood seemed to calm down a lot.
"With someone helping me, I was able to hit more shots."
After a brief chat, seeing that Emparuo had relaxed, he asked, "Are you willing to fight for me?"
Amparo was puzzled. "Hunting wild men? I've killed quite a few, at least ten. Wild men often sneak into our hunting grounds and try to steal our prey."
It's a bit one-dimensional, so Green expressed it in a different way.
"You are very brave. I am asking if you would like to become a soldier of my clan? Like those fellows in the training ground. I will give you armor and a sword."
Emparo was stunned, and Green continued, "At least two golden dragons every year."
"It depends on your performance. The loot rewards will be even greater."
Emparo quickly replied, "I do, my lord."
As if to confirm whether he had heard correctly, Emparuo asked again: "But I am a woman, and they are all men, will it be possible..."
The soldiers of the Kleber family are all men. What Emparo is worried about is being excluded by men. As a woman, she is not worried about being harassed. At most, there will be some dirty talk. If you dare to go too far, I will kill you with a knife. I am very strong!
Green confirmed this. "That makes sense. The spearwives of the territory sometimes follow my soldiers into battle, but it's not considered a formal participation; they just assist with simple missions. It's only temporary, and no one will care. But officially joining is different."
"Besides, mixing men and women together all day long will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble."
Emparuo nodded and said, "Yes... That's what I thought, but I don't know how to put it, the lord is very wise."
"You are well-known among the Spearwives. If you were to recruit, how many could you gather?"
"They can all become clan soldiers, right? I know about 20 or 30 of them, and they're all good hunters."
"I will establish a regiment in the territory composed exclusively of Spearwomen, named the Thorn Regiment."
[Tribute to the Queen of Thorns]
"The war is about to begin. Recruit as many as you can, those who dare to fight men, especially those without men. The main thing is to obey your command. You will be the commander of the Thorn Legion."
Green was very patient, and after his detailed explanation, Emperuo heard and understood clearly. Emperuo's chest heaved, and he suppressed his excitement, looking at Green with sparkling eyes.
......
Green's tone was serious: "Emparo, can I trust you?"
At this time, there were only three people in the study: Green, Emparo and Bachelor Al. Bachelor Al had been sitting quietly in a corner, as if he was asleep.
How to prove it?
Emparo stared at the quiet Maester Al for a moment, his eyes moving from side to side, and he gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind: "Prove it now?"
In response to Emparoch's strange question, Green raised one eyebrow and nodded calmly.
Brush.
All the clothes on Empa left her delicate body.
Looking at Emparo, who was staring at him with blushing cheeks, Green thought of a female leopard.
Green's pupils expanded and then shrank, and he turned his face to the side: "Hey, nice figure."
Maester Al, who had woken up at some point, sat there trembling, showing his sparse teeth, and blinked at Green.
The nervous Emparoemparo finally sensed something was wrong and hurriedly covered his important parts with his hands.
"That's not what I meant. Put on your clothes. Well, I don't blame you. It's an honor for me to appreciate your charm. Today is a pleasant day."
Emparo, who had put on his clothes again, still had red cheeks and had dug out two Whispering Cities with his toes.
"Emparo, kneel down. You are my warrior. Kneel on one knee."
The little episode in the middle is over, and the lord's work has to continue.
"Repeat after me, I'm Amparo."
"I, Emparo..."
"I pledge allegiance, love what I love, and hate what I hate."
"I pledge allegiance, love what I love, hate what I hate..."
"I swear that my words, actions, and every move will be based on Green Crab's will and will never violate it."
"I swear that my words, actions, and every move will be based on Green Crab's will and will never violate it."
"From this day forward, until death"
"From this day forward, until death"
"I swear by the old and new gods."
"I swear by the old and new gods."
......
A silky drizzle enveloped the entire Whispering City.
Outside the city gate.
A girl of about sixteen or seventeen, wearing an orange short robe and leather armor, carrying an old hunting bow.
The girl is not tall and thin, but she looks strong.
The girl's name is Lena. She has brown skin, silver hair, and a high ponytail.
Reina was getting bored waiting and kept looking inside the city gate.
Emparo's figure finally appeared at the door, and Reina jumped up nimbly.
"Hey, she-leopard, is Lord Green willing to let you out? How does it feel?"
Emparuo walked up to Reina and said, "Little Reina, are you horny again?"
After saying this, he turned sideways to show off his dark blue cape embroidered with golden swamp marigolds.
Reina wiped the rain off her face vigorously, and her big eyes opened even wider.
"Swamp Marigold? Isn't this the emblem of the Crabbe family? Emparo, you are crazy. You will be hanged. Even if the lord forgives you, the White Walkers will bite your neck. Give it back quickly... Don't pull, let's run away, leave here, leave now!"
"Stop, stop, stop. It's not what you think?"
"Oh, then…"
Reina raised her eyebrows with an ambiguous expression: "Does the female leopard's enthusiasm please the lord? Is this a reward?"
Emparuo's cheeks flushed darkly, and she stroked her face with one hand and sighed, "Reina, stop guessing. Shut up and listen to me. Listen to me."
The cloak embroidered with the Kleber emblem was given to Emparo by Green. In the Kleber territory, wearing this cloak symbolizes status. Before this, the only Knights Pell and Mason wore cloaks with the emblem in the entire territory.
Emperor's mission was time-sensitive and was intended to enhance Emperor's authority in recruiting spearwomen and facilitate his actions. It was Green's early reward.
Whether he can keep the cloak in the future depends on Amparo's ability.
Green's test has quietly begun.
......
After Emparuo finished explaining everything, Reina said excitedly, "Great! This is really good news. There will definitely be many sisters willing to join."
"Hurry up, what are you waiting for? As long as we take care of a few troublemakers, you can gather one or two hundred people."
"Haha, robbing money and men!"
"By the way, Captain of the Thorn Corps, I'm the first to sign up!"
Reina spoke too fast, one sentence after another, and Emparo couldn't get a word in.
But Reina's good mood infected the usually serious Emparo.
Emparuo smiled and nodded, and the two of them unconsciously quickened their pace.
