In the evening, when everyone was camping and camping, Saul came back and brought back a piece of news that shocked Marin - at 10 a.m. tomorrow, the emperor personally visited the recruiting site at the South Gate to inspect the recruitment situation.

Malin was instantly excited. Emperor, although he is a poor emperor and cannot give you money, giving you an identity is just a matter of saying. Moreover, if he is recruited by the emperor, he can actually give you money, although it is just a low salary.

Early the next morning, Marin set out in a whole team and headed out to the south gate of Vienna to guard the emperor. However, because the emperor was going to go on a patrol, when he arrived outside the south gate, Marin even showed the legal certificate of the Hoffmann Mercenary Group, their weapons were temporarily confiscated.

Because, unlike those scattered soldiers, Marin is a group of hundreds of people. If they continue to possess weapons, they might be able to assassinate the emperor.

Not only that, the Vienna garrison also mobilized 50 fully armed cavalry to monitor the Hoffmann mercenary group and prevent them from attacking the emperor.

Marin didn't care about this. Anyway, he was not really here to assassinate the emperor, but to please the emperor. He asked all members of the Hoffman mercenary group to line up in an orderly lined up on the road. Beside him were 50 Viennese cavalry eyeing him.

At this time, it was around 9 o'clock in the morning. The "pocket watch" that Marin carried was about the same size as the alarm clock, but he also told him that it was 9 o'clock in the morning.

Speaking of which, pocket watches are really pitiful these days. Marin went to buy pocket watches happily, but in the end he bought a "pocket watch" that was about the same size as the alarm clock that he called to wake up when he was a child in his previous life. In other words, it is more suitable to call a "pocket watch". Although clockwork has begun to be used, due to technical conditions, it cannot be very small at present. It is said that some craftsmen with good skills can make the "pocket clock" smaller. But obviously, there are no such craftsmen in Austria. It seems that powerful craftsmen are in Nuremberg and Cologne. As for Switzerland, the famous watch industry in later generations, the clock industry has not yet developed at this time. It seems that after Calvin, the founder of the Christian Calvinism, banned the wearing of jewelry in Switzerland, the Swiss people were thinking about how to make the clock into exquisite ornaments. Then, the famous Swiss watches were founded. However, that happened decades later.

Marin chose a better position, next to the avenue beside the recruiting square outside the southern gate of Vienna. When the emperor entered the recruiting square, he had to pass by here. Of course, many people wanted to occupy such a good position. However, Marin had 100 tough thugs in his hands, and those scattered soldiers could not afford to provoke them. However, it was precisely because they occupied such a good position that they aroused the suspicion of the recruiting officers. Therefore, the recruiting office placed 50 cavalry here, which protected the safety of the emperor when he passed, and on the other hand, it was also monitoring Marin's group.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the emperor's travel team really appeared outside the south gate. The emperor came by a carriage, but the carriage he was riding was full of tall German knights, all wearing plate armor. Even if you want to assassinate the emperor, you have to pass through the surrounding steel walls first.

When the emperor arrived at the square, the square immediately became boiling. Thousands of people present were all restless. Many people began to shout, trying to attract the emperor's attention:

"Long live, Your Majesty the Emperor!"

"Long live the Holy Roman Empire!"

"I'm Yoll!"

"I'm Hansen!"

"I……"

...

When the emperor's convoy passed by Marin, Marin suddenly raised his right hand forward and performed an ancient Roman military salute similar to a Nazi military salute (the Nazi military salute has been learned from ancient Roman military salute). Then, he shouted:

"Hi, Holy Rome!"

When I saw that my head was moving, my younger brother wearing a white vest was over 100, and immediately stretched out his right hand in unison, performed an ancient Roman military salute, and shouted together:

"Hi, Holy Rome!"

The movement of the Hoffman mercenary group scared the 50 cavalrymen beside him, and they drew out their sabers as if they were facing a great enemy. Even the knights guarding the emperor drew out their knight swords to protect them.

But they soon discovered that it was just a group of young men wearing white vests on the roadside saluting His Majesty the Emperor. So, they breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the movements and voices of more than 100 people in Marin were really eye-catching. Even the emperor Maximilian I in the carriage curiously through the carriage windows, looking at the more than 100 guys standing straight and still marching on the side of the road...

"What an orderly military appearance, which unit is this? It looks very elite!" Maximilian I asked Frederick II, Earl of Hohenzollen, who was riding with him.

Of course, Count Frederick didn't know, so he shrugged:

"Who knows, I have never seen or heard of it."

...

After a while, the emperor came to the platform in the middle of the square, climbed up and delivered a few high-sounding speeches. Then, Count Hohenzollern announced that the selection had officially begun (the selection was specially waited for the emperor to come today).

Then, the entire square became turbulent. Everyone lined up as required.

Marin took a look:

"Damn, we're a little far from the queue..."

He thought about it and decided to go to the line...and it was the overall line...

Then, he waved his hand and began to direct the team to go to the line. However, they lined up in an orderly queue to go to the line, and they were always arrogant...

"Walk in step, 1-1-121, 1-1-121..."

Then, all members of the Hoffman Mercenary Group walked straight ahead from the side with neat steps. Marin had issued a dead order at the beginning - without his order, he would not stop, and even the sea of ​​swords and fires in front of him would continue to move forward...

Then, under the command of Marin, 105 subordinates, took extremely neat steps to outsiders, and arrogantly rushed to the front of the crowd lined up...

"Where did this guy come from? I don't understand the rules?" Earl Hohenzollern was a little unhappy and planned to send someone to drive away Marin and his group. But the emperor seemed interested in them, so he stopped the Earl.

Those who were originally lined up for good shooting were naturally unwilling to be squeezed away. However, the number 100 people, Marin, seemed to have not seen them, looked forward and still strode forward.

In the end, under the powerful momentum of the 100 people of Marin, they chose to give in...

After entering the team directly in front of him, Marin shouted:

"Stand firm!"

Then, with a "swish", the No. 100 suddenly stopped neatly. Then, Malin shouted again:

“Turn right!”

All the members of the Hoffman mercenary group turned to the right neatly, facing forward, with no expression on their faces and no random look.

"This... is so disciplined!"

"If you are disciplined, you will not go to the line, so you will go to the line as a whole..." Earl Frederick was speechless. You use a neat queue to go to the line to show that your team is disciplined? Are you still going to go to the line? Earl Hohenzollen doesn't want to say anything at this time...

"By the way, Frederick, is this team here to apply for it? Why don't such a strong team contact you directly, but come to participate in the selection?"

"Maybe, their leader can't get in touch with me..." Frederick was also very uncertain. Although he was a little angry at the unruly nature of this team, he had to admit that in terms of discipline alone, this team with a small number of people was definitely top-notch. At least, it was stronger than most German troops.

The emperor and the earl didn't expect that Marin had not finished his work. After robbing someone else's registration position, he did not sign up immediately, but started a show. He raised his hand again, gave a Roman military salute, faced the high platform where the emperor was, and shouted:

"All members of the Hoffman Mercenary Group will serve His Majesty the Emperor. May my great Holy Roman Empire be invincible and invincible! Hi, Holy Roman!"

Then, the 105 people under his command all extended their right hands, saluted Roman military salute, and shouted:

"Hi, Holy Rome!"

"Hi, Holy Rome!"

Then, Malin didn't care about the fact that the recruiter had not recruited himself, but began to swear allegiance to the emperor on his own. He faced the high platform where the emperor was, raised his right hand and began to swear:

"I am glorious for my life as a brave and loyal Holy Roman Empire warrior..."

Afterwards, all members of the Hoffman Mercenary Group were in a conditioned manner, raised their right hands in unison, and turned their palms forward, and then swore in unison:

“I have been glorious for my life as a brave and loyal Holy Roman Empire warrior,

Every comrade in my army is my brother and sister, regardless of origin or status.

Swear allegiance to the emperor!

The emperor's will is above everything else!"

Marin hurried to follow:

"The Emperor's Order-"

"Above all truths and laws! Hi, Holy Rome!" the soldiers shouted in unison.

...

For a moment, everyone in the square was stunned and stunned - where did this group of emperor's brainless fans come from?

And the emperor Maximilian I on the platform was stunned for a while, and then suddenly became excited:

"It's very good to say that the emperor's orders are higher than all truths and laws... I am very happy, I am very happy!" Which emperor doesn't want to say anything in one word...

Although Count Frederick despised Marin's group of flattery, as the emperor's favorite minister, he could not destroy the emperor's position. So he had to agree.

Suddenly, the emperor said in a flash:

"Frederick, tell them that I like to listen to this oath very much. Let them take the oath again and accept their allegiance!"

“Do it again?”

"Yes! Do it again!"

"Then I won't examine it?"

"Is it necessary? Just look at their queue and the style of the team, you will know that this is a strong army!"

"Okay!" As the emperor's favorite minister, Frederick understood that Marin's group had flattered him correctly. His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be very fond of this and liked such oaths very much.

Then, Malin led 105 subordinates (except Kohler who looked at supplies and weapons), with his face and heartbroken, and once again swore to the emperor in front of tens of thousands of people. The most exaggerated thing is that Malin's eyes at the emperor were full of fanaticism, and he was like a super loyal minister who dared to die for the emperor...

Most of the bystanders were shocked, and a big shot like Count Frederick complained in his heart:
Chapter completed!
