Chapter 667 The title needs to be fought for by yourself!
PS: Please vote for the new week!
Aurora and Teresa, mother and daughter, stood on the gate of the Duke's Castle, looking down at the grand scene at the venue. There was a huge crowd, and densely packed residents crowded together, vying to watch.
The event in front of the castle.
"Hey, this brat has full wings now." Aurora has been observing Lane's Duke Castle, elite army, abundant treasury, and his unparalleled prestige in the kingdom in the past few days.
The Holy Witch sighed softly: "It is impossible to control him now."
"Mother, don't think about controlling Ryan all day long. I think this is good." Teresa knew Aurora's thoughts. The sorceress had no choice but to persuade her mother: "If we need it, we can directly
Mention, as long as Ryan can help us, he will not choose to watch."
"It's different, my daughter." Aurora shook her head, and she stretched out her hand to rub her long black eyebrows: "There is a difference between initiative and consciousness. What we want is a foreign aid, not a superior.
"
"Is being a superior so important?" After hearing this, Teresa joked back: "Mother, haven't you also been our Speaker's subordinate for decades?"
"That's why I don't want to continue to be a subordinate." Aurora sighed softly after hearing this: "Forget it, now that things have become like this, we are also well prepared. If the Gloria Council can still stay,
Then we ask Ryan to help us once. If the Glory Council cannot stay, I will have to bring my apprentices to you in the future, and Ryan promises to take us in."
"Is the situation already so difficult?" Teresa also frowned.
"Give him a child as soon as possible. This will significantly improve your status." Aurora moved the topic away without leaving any trace: "If he is willing, it is best to let the child's surname be Trovik. This is
Our family’s last name.”
"I understand, mother."
Under the castle, Francois and Birhemond were also talking.
"Hmph~ Ryan, this guy, really knows how to play tricks." Francois listened to Ryan's description, and a glimmer of understanding immediately flashed in his wise sea-blue eyes: "It's not a good habit to know how to mix personal things all day long.
.”
"Added personal goods?" Dukes Bohemond and Bodrick were both interested.
"This guy Ryan is setting a very bad example." Francois whispered: "He is trying to challenge the order of our kingdom again."
"Again?" Bochmond stroked his beard: "Speak more clearly, Francois."
"This guy Ryan is encouraging the serfs to take the initiative to ask for the rights they deserve from our knight nobles." The expression on Francois's face was not very good: "This is a bad sign."
"How can that be done! Status and honor are given to the serfs by us. If we don't give them to them, the serfs can't rob them!" The Duke of Bastogne almost jumped up when he heard this: "No, this won't work!"
"Calm down, Percy." Francois put his hand on his forehead and said calmly: "Lian's encouragement comes with great restrictions."
The father-in-law explained Ryan's approach to Bohemond and Bodrick.
Ryan indeed encouraged the serfs to fight for their own rights and interests from the nobles. He added three additional knight errant titles to secretly "mix private goods". The purpose was to awaken the consciousness of the serfs and let them take the initiative to fight for their own rights and interests.
However, Lane added extremely strict restrictions to this, that is, the prerequisite for actively fighting for one's own rights and interests must be military merit that is enough to convince everyone. Without military merit, no one will care.
This is in line with the standards of the human kingdom and can also block the mouths of the knights and nobles to the greatest extent.
Only then did Bohemond reluctantly accept it, and he turned his gaze back to where Ryan was.
"Sign up for your own number." When Ryan saw someone finally coming out, he smiled and nodded to express encouragement: "Then stand on the stage and tell everyone what your military achievements are?"
"I am the little man - Hugo!" This old Guardsman was indeed not tall enough, but he naturally had a very strong aura and there were many scars on his face. He mustered up all his courage.
, jumped onto the stage suddenly, but when he really had to face everyone, he became a little timid again. He opened his mouth for a long time, his face turned red from holding back, and he couldn't say a word: "I...I, I.
"
Both Ryan and Sulia admired the courage of this old guard very much. The couple looked at each other, and Sulia took the initiative to step forward and said very kindly: "Very good, then Mr. Hugo, tell me in public, what do you have?"
With your military exploits, why do you think you can get the title of knight?"
Hugo saw Duke Ryan and Mrs. Sulia looking at him with encouragement and approval. The old guard took a few deep breaths and settled down. He bowed to Ryan and Sulia, and then said loudly:
"Duke, and Madame Sulia, I was one of the thieves who surrendered to you along with Sir Bertrand. Since I became your soldier, I have always fought bravely and repaid your kindness with my life!"
"The first time I went to Chalon Forest, I killed fifteen night goblins by myself. In the battle of Lyonnaise Plains, I killed two Chaos Warriors and eight Barbarian Marauders. The second time I killed Mason
In the battle of Nell Monastery, I killed two ghouls and one black knight. I attacked the chaos dwarf in a surprise attack and shot him to death.
Three chaos dwarves, captured two muskets of the Chaos dwarves. In the battle of Nur, I killed two Kurgan cavalry alone and shot and killed five. Your Excellency the Duke, Mrs. Surya, I asked the lady in the lake.
I swear that everything I say is true. With these military exploits, can I get the title of knight?"
"Boom~" There was an uproar among the onlookers, and Ryan's eyes shone with surprise. He nodded repeatedly and shouted: "I didn't expect, Mr. Hugo, you actually have so many achievements, but I didn't discover you."
With such great military achievements, why can’t you get the title of knight? Armand!”
"Yes!" Holy Grail Knight Armand presented a brand new knight's uniform and knight's badge. Ryan personally reached out to take it and handed it to Hugo.
"Thank you, Duke, thank you, madam!" Hugo's eyes were moist. He really understood what joy fell from the sky today. As Sylvia helped him put on the knight's badge, he knelt on his knees, kowtowed hard, then got up and walked back quickly.
Got into the queue.
Hugo unexpectedly received a knighthood, which gave the entire Old Guard army supreme courage. These soldiers began to know that there were things they needed to fight for. Before Ryan could ask, another Old Guard jumped on
He walked up to the high platform and said, "Your Excellency, Mrs. Sulia, I also want the title of knight!"
"Why do you want it?" Ryan nodded calmly.
"In the battle of Lyonnaise Plains, I killed five barbarian marauders and seriously injured two Chaos Warriors. In the second battle of La-Messnel Monastery, I alone used a grenade to kill a Chaos Troll and destroy the corpse.
Two vehicles, surprise attack on the Chaos Dwarves, I blow up the Chaos Hell Cannon
One, in the battle of Nuer, I shot and killed three Kurgan riders!" The old guard was eager to report his military exploits. Only after he finished talking about his military exploits in one breath did he realize that he had not mentioned his name.
He quickly added: "I'm Gross, from Devon."
Before Gross could finish speaking, another old guard jumped up: "My name is Oudinot, from the Principality of Carcassonne. I was the first to join you in the Battle of Arden Forest. I killed two centaurs by myself and was seriously injured.
A minotaur, in the battle of Leonese Plains, I killed five chaos war dogs by myself, killed a barbarian champion warrior, and seriously injured another one. In the battle of Nur, I killed a chaos giant by myself, why should I?
Can’t get a knighthood!”
Another old guard came on stage: "My name is Ney, I come from Wynford, and I also want the title of knight!"
The scene was a little chaotic for a while. Everyone was watching the good show. Before Ryan could say anything, a burly guy from the Old Guards fell from the sky and landed on the high platform: "Hey, you brothers, give way to me."
Come on, I didn’t get the knighthood, so you are still qualified to get it? My name is Valen, I come from Red Fish Village, and my name is Angron.
I started it, among other things, in the second battle of La-Maisonelle, I defeated five tomb demons and two bloodthirsty demons by myself, and in the Waldbach ambush battle, I killed three by myself.
The Knight of Rot, surprise attack on the Chaos Dwarves, I hacked to death five Chaos Dwarf warriors, and in the battle of Nur, I killed one Chaos Champion and one Nurgle God’s Chosen Warrior by myself!”
The scene was very chaotic for a while, and the four people showed signs of fighting over these two titles.
"Stop!" Ryan shouted loudly, and the Duke shouted to the old guards: "Anyone else who wants to get the title of knight, come up!"
Then three more old guards stood up.
Ryan nodded softly and said to everyone: "We are all famous brave men and heroes with numerous military exploits, but there are only two knighthoods left. In this way, we invite a fair person to come and judge. Pershemon
Your Excellency, please."
"Hmph~" Duke Red Dragon stood up. He took his sword "Sword in the Stone" and shield from his attendants, and stood proudly on the high platform: "Come up one by one, who can take my three moves?
, whoever can get the title of knight!"
Is this a duel of honor?
There was a roar of cheers from the audience, and the onlookers were watching the show again.
Gross, who was the first to come up, changed his equipment, took a deep breath, and rushed towards Bohemond.
Berhemond sneered non-stop, "You idiot, how can you get the title of knight casually?"
The Red Dragon Duke's steps carried a magical aura. When Gross approached, he easily turned around to face Gross's attack. He used his shield to resist Gross' scimitar, then released his strength, used his shield to deflect the blade, and
This directly caused Gross to lose his balance. The Sword in the Stone in his other hand quickly fell on Gross' head and knocked lightly.
Gross knew that he had failed. His face was red and he walked off the platform knowingly.
Then came Oudinot. The old guard held a big sword in both hands and challenged Bohemond. The Red Dragon Duke nodded and jumped in front of Oudinot. He swung the sword in the stone in his hand heavily, and Wu
Dino wanted to use his two-handed sword to block it at first, but
He quickly changed his mind and rolled around to avoid the blade. As soon as he stood up, Bohemond's attack came. Oudinot reluctantly used his big sword to block, but the huge force on the sword directly caused him to block it.
He flew out completely and fell to the ground.
Berhemond did not show any mercy. He immediately came in stride. Oudinot immediately pulled out the scimitar from his waist to resist. Then the old guard was knocked out again and fell to the audience, his hands paralyzed.
, his mind was in chaos, and just when he was despairing, Bohemond stopped: "Three moves, soldier, congratulations."
Thunderous applause and cheers came from the entire venue. With a smile, Ryan awarded the 31st knighthood to Oudinot. The old guard was dizzy, his hands were weak, and he was full of arrogance in his silly smile.
He was helped off the high platform by two colleagues.
Immediately afterwards, four consecutive challenges were taken down by Bochmond with one move.
Next, it was Valen's turn. The burly old guard took out a pair of his battle axes and took a deep breath of the cold air. He held the ax handle tightly with both hands and recalled Master Angron's guidance.
After Hemond signaled that it was okay, Wallen didn't even wait for Bohemond to take the initiative to attack. He roared so loudly that the high platform trembled, and then launched an attack directly.
"Jump!" Warren's body turned into a white arc and fell directly from the air.
When Bohemond saw that the old guard actually took the initiative to attack, he sneered. He raised his shield and blocked Wallen's attack. Just when he was about to counterattack, Wallen's second move came: "Whirlwind!"
The whirlwind formed by the double axes rushed directly towards Bohemond, and the Red Dragon Duke had to raise his shield to resist.
Warren turned around five or six times in one breath but was unable to break through Bohemond's defense. He was anxious, and the movements of his hands immediately slowed down. Bohemond saw this opportunity and the Sword in the Stone directly bypassed the rotating body.
The ax blade directly attacked Valen from above. Valen was forced to give up spinning. Just as he stopped and wanted to use the bottom-pressing combat skill, the flaming Sword in the Stone was placed on his neck.
"Although it only took two moves, you were able to make me take the initiative to defend. That's good, soldier. Congratulations." Bohemond nodded with dignity: "From today on, you are a knight."
Thousands of citizens cheered and applauded thunderously.
The awarding ceremony came to an end.
The impact of this investiture ceremony was so profound that decades or hundreds of years later, people in Brittany are still discussing the far-reaching influence of the Old Guard.
But that's a story for another day.
At the same time, the subspace, the realm of chaos, the crystal maze, and the realm of Tzeentch.
The Lord of Changes, the Messenger of Hope, the Weaver of Destiny, the Deceitful Counselor, the Supreme Eagle, the Lord of Deception, the Pure Treasure God, the Eagle God is sitting on his throne, and his skin is covered with ever-changing
Faces that leered and laughed at those who dared to look at them.
The evil god was frantically absorbing energy, energy from the mortal world. He opened his big mouth and let out a crazy laugh: "Change is a good thing~"
Lion's reforms allowed Tzeentch to absorb a large amount of emotional energy from the mortal world. He could feel that the fire of hope and the desire to become a knight erupted from the serfs constantly poured into the subspace and became his food.
This made him turn his attention to the mortal world. Before, Britannia had been a country for thousands of years, and the rotten and rigid rules and laws had been pleasing Nurgle, allowing Nurgle to gain a huge amount of energy. Now Ryan's reforms have changed
To please Tzeentch, Tzeentch could feel that his previous losses had been completely restored.
"Let me add a little something to this ignorant mortal's self-righteous reform!"
