Under the divine light of the fairy in the lake, Raymond walked gently in front of the goddess. His face was dull, and he just walked forward slowly amidst the cheers and cheers of the crowd, and then knelt down.

In the eyes of everyone, in the trembling and fearful eyes of the serfs, in the eager and envious eyes of the free people, in the sighing eyes of the Old Guards, the Fairy of the Lake took the golden chalice inlaid with countless gems and diamonds.

It was delivered to Raymond.

The battalion commander, who was in his thirties, knelt before the goddess. He raised his head slightly and saw that the face of the fairy in the lake was obscured by the thick fog. He did not dare to look at it, but he just reached out and took the Holy Grail filled with liquid.

, and took a sip gently from the chalice.

This is the first time that someone has won the glory of the Holy Grail in the eyes of everyone. All eyes are focused on Raymond, looking at this famous veteran, the escaped slave of Lyonnais, who has an outstanding reputation among the old guards.

How did Lucky Guy, the battalion commander who had served His Majesty Ryan for many years, obtain the Holy Grail and transform from a mortal into a servant of the goddess?

I saw Raymond drinking the water of the Holy Grail in one gulp.

Under the spotlight, there was no reaction on Raymond's body at first. He looked around himself doubtfully, as if he was checking his changes, but except for the slightly cold and sweet Holy Grail water sliding down his throat.

Besides, nothing changed about Raymond.

What is the Holy Grail Water? Rokossovsky is very interested in it.

The former Marshal Kislev had seen Holy Grail Knights as early as when he was fighting barbarians in the north. These living saints have outstanding virtues, are brave in battle, have good command, and more importantly, they will not tire. There once was a Holy Grail Knight.

A glorious deed of one man killing hundreds of barbarian marauders and finally escaping unscathed.

What is the essence of the Holy Grail? How does the Lady in the Lake use the Holy Grail to strengthen mortals into unparalleled strongmen like the Holy Grail Knights? What are the criteria for selecting Holy Grail Knights? Is it the virtue of chivalry? Is it martial courage? Or is it loyalty to the lady? Or is it?

Belief in order?

Rokossovsky did not believe in the Lake Fairy, so the Ugol people dared to think about and test the power and standards of the Lake Fairy. For the Kislev Marshal, he experienced a lot in Kislev.

So many people are actually disappointed with their so-called beliefs and morals.

Any so-called value evaluation system will become a toy of the aristocrats after a long time. Any so-called military merit evaluation method will eventually become a method for the military merit aristocrats to monopolize the entire promotion channel. The so-called morality is even more so.

The original intention of establishing the Riem Guards and the Cheka Secret Police was so good, but what happened in the end?

Luo Shuai learned silence, compromise and obedience during his years of service.

But coming to Britannia is completely different. The military merit evaluation system here is under the strict control of Ryan, and the moral evaluation system is even more powerful. This system is in the hands of the goddess and is not subject to any external influence. Can it become the Holy Grail?

The only basis for the knight is the judgment of the goddess.

Therefore, the Knight of the Holy Grail is a truly good person, a saint, almost morally perfect, and can be trusted.

As if sensing Rokossovsky's doubts, the disembodied voice of the fairy in the lake came from far away: "It is virtue."

"Virtue?" Luo Shuai took the initiative to talk to the goddess. He asked the fairy in the lake: "What virtue is that? Is it a virtue of chivalry? Or is it a more specific virtue?"

"It is the Eight Virtues of Knights." The Lake Fairy calmly said to Luo Shuai: "This is the only evaluation criterion. When Ryan chose to try to save the city from destruction with a championship showdown in Miljödenhaven, when

On his way home, Davout encountered an invasion by a tribe of beastmen and was left alone.

When Raymond carried the flag to inspire the villagers to resist and stood up for the civilians after the war, when Raymond decided to sacrifice himself to buy time and a chance for victory, the spirit of chivalry was imbued in them.

Sublimate and carry forward, so this is the reward they deserve."

"But people do not distinguish between high and low. What if the other party is an ordinary serf? What if the other party is a country man who upholds justice? What if the other party is a craftsman who sacrifices himself to protect his wife and daughter? Can they also be qualified to obtain the Holy Grail?

Luo Shuai asked.

"Knight of the Holy Grail, you must first be a knight." The Fairy of the Lake said calmly: "There are more than eight million people in Britannia. It is impossible for me to pay attention to everyone. If you want to get my approval, you must first become

Be a knight."

"I understand!" Luo Shuai lowered his head in sincerity.

Fair! Fair! Still fair!

He already understood why Britannia was so powerful.

The Fairy of the Lake solves the problem of fairness for the upper class, while Ryan opens the upward channel, and class mobility also solves the problem of fairness for the lower class.

"Well!" At this moment, Raymond suddenly made a painful sound. He knelt on one knee, and a gentle light suddenly appeared in his chest, and then spread to his whole body, even the white uniform of the old guard.

All of them were overwhelmed by this light, and all his five senses and seven orifices glowed with the strong light of the Lake God, and then he fell to the ground in pain and became silent.

A few seconds later, the battalion commander of the old Guards was shrouded in spiritual light, his eyes were red. He drew out the long sword from his waist and roared toward the sky: "For dy!"

The whole army exploded like boiling water, and everyone drew their weapons and pointed to the sky.

"For dy!"

The cheers lingered in the forest of Mousilon and could not stop for a long time.

…………I am the dividing line of For dy…………

After withdrawing their troops, Bertrand and others wrote a detailed military report while sending an urgent message to Lane. The military report wrote three things in detail, namely the specific process of the encounter between the Arden Forest territories and the impact of the encounter.

There are traces of the possible appearance of the evil demon Gur, and then there is the news of Raymond being promoted to the Guard of the Holy Grail.

Out of honor, this message was personally delivered by the newly promoted Raymond. With everyone's envious and jealous eyes, Raymond personally sent the message to Ryan.

After receiving the news, Ryan received the second Old Guard of the Holy Grail with a very high-level banquet standard. After reading the military report, the Knight King nodded slightly. Sure enough, after following him for so many years, Brittania

Nowadays, the general stars are shining brightly, and there are more and more generals who can take charge of their own affairs. This is a good thing.

At the grand banquet, Queen Surya asked Raymond with great interest: "Sir Raymond, how did you come up with this 'immovable as a mountain' strategy?"

"I once told someone that His Majesty attacked Musilon's Spire Palace. In the Spire Palace, His Majesty used a suspicious formation to frighten away the army of undead that came." Raymond said seriously: "And His Majesty often said something in front of us.

, as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as invasive as fire, as motionless as a mountain... I remember occasionally there is another sentence after it... Desire is like the rain? I got the inspiration from "Moveless as a mountain."

"Pfft!" The wine in Ryan's mouth almost spurted out.

Unprecedented Takeda Shingen craze!

It's a pity that in the end, he still couldn't escape the fate of being punished to death (sad).

"Congratulations, Raymond." Ryan raised his glass and said to Raymond: "From today on, you are no longer the battalion commander of the Old Guard. I appoint you as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Old Guard.

, and will entrust you with two villages near Lyonnaise."

"Yes! Thank you very much!" After hearing this, Raymond bowed and thanked him, but he was a little worried: "What about...Marshal Davout?"

"Marshal Davout will transfer the military commander of the Mousilon Army." Ryan nodded: "This is an established matter."

"Understood!" Raymond bowed his head in conviction again.

"Raise your head, Raymond. From today on, you are also a glorious guard of the Holy Grail." Ryan said roughly. The King of Knights stood up and patted Raymond on the shoulder hard: "Have confidence in yourself!"

After hearing this, Raymond patted his head somewhat honestly and smiled.

After three rounds of drinks and five dishes, Beria came over with a wine glass. The Ugor expression was very serious: "Your Majesty, should we mobilize the army and enter the Arden Forest to destroy the Shadow Demon Gul and it?"

The shadows of beasts fight against the herd of beasts?”

"There is no problem in mobilizing the army..." Ryan and Sulia also showed serious expressions when they heard what Beria said. Ryan fell into thinking: "But we have almost nothing about the location of Morgul.

We know, and that is just the judgment of the wood elves. There is no doubt that the wood elves know Morgul best. We should send the news to the Wood Elf Woodland Lords Council while gathering the army."

"But it's winter now. Is the Wood Elf Council of Woodland Lords running?" Sulia asked worriedly.

"Yes." Ryan nodded: "In winter, the wood elf king Orion will walk into the fire and turn into ashes, and Queen Alaire will stay deep in the trunk of the age oak tree and enter hibernation, but most of the woodland lords still remain

Will it be orderly... or wild, we just need to get the message to Aralos."

"Then let's do it." Sulia tried to suggest: "We will start to gather the army now, and at the same time transfer the palace to Mousilon, and conduct a detailed search of the Arden Forest. It is bound to bring down the demons."

Gul found and killed him in one fell swoop!"

"Also, let Ms. Veronica from the Sorceress Assembly join us." Morgiana also suggested: "We need their help."

"Well, yes." Ryan didn't say anything else. The King of Knights immediately ordered at the end of the banquet to mobilize the three governor-general areas of Britannia. A 30,000-strong knightly army was formed, led by Ryan himself.

,Marshal Callard

Marshals Bertrand and Berhemond led their troops to arrive one after another and began a month-long search and clearing of the Arden Forest. Davout stayed at Mousilon and Francois served as the second-line army and reserve force.

Stationed on the edge of Arden Forest.

It is worth mentioning that after the order to recruit troops was issued, the whole of Britannia fell into war fever. Especially after hearing that Raymond had become the second guard of the Holy Grail, the free people who came to apply were simply

There were huge crowds of people, and many of them were even willing to contribute their own money to fight the war. The blacksmith workshops were working day and night to build weapons and equipment.

Are you so energetic? After hearing the news, Ryan couldn't laugh or cry.

But the free people were so enthusiastic, and the King of Knights felt that it would be bad if he didn't say anything.

It would have been a waste to make a fortune in silence, but the King of Knights still announced that it would expand the Mousilon Coldstream Guards Battalion, and expand the Guards Battalion of 400 people into a regiment of 1,000 people, with three battalions.

.

In just one day, the Coldstream Guards were instantly full, and many freedmen bought their own equipment and wanted to join.

In this way, throughout the winter of 2518 in the Imperial Calendar, Ryan led the knightly army into three groups and conducted a systematic search of the entire Arden Forest.

The search results that lasted for more than a month made Ryan very disappointed. Not to mention Morgul, not even a large beastman battle group or a powerful enough beast king was seen in the Arden Forest. The army came from the forest.

Sweeping through, I only saw a few small beastman warbands at most.

How could these small beastman warbands be opponents of the Brittanian army? They were wiped out by the chivalry army without any effort.

Subsequently, three armies, led by Ryan, Kalad and Birhemond respectively, searched for two weeks deep in the Arden Forest along the traces of corruption. However, no results were found. All the signs pointed to one thing.
To be continued...
