In front of Hussein, Du Wei took out something from his storage ring... to be precise, it was a set!
The golden luster exudes some kind of hidden and natural sense of oppression!
This is a set of armor, a completely golden full-body armor!
Each piece of armor seems to be covered with a kind of delicate natural lines. The lines go round and round, like some kind of pattern, and they seem to have some other hidden special meaning.
This is not gold, gold is definitely not that hard!
The shape of the armor is gorgeous and full of arrogance and ambition, uninhibited! The shape of the design allows the person wearing it to hide 90% of the body under the armor. Its design style is similar to that of Roland Continent
Every knight's armor is completely different. Especially the helmet...it's different from the round helmet and pointed helmet worn by Roland Knight, and it doesn't have the defensive iron face...
But Hussein only took one look and his color suddenly changed!
He stared closely at the texture of the armor, the golden luster...
"This is not metal." Hussein whispered.
"Of course not." Du Wei smiled proudly: "I added several magic spells to it... It has excellent physical defense capabilities and strong magic immunity! Wear it, even if you encounter a magician opponent,
It's enough to resist most ordinary magic."
"This is... dragon scale?"
"The scales of the golden dragon." Du Wei added: "You should know that the old guy in green robe helped me kill a golden dragon last time, and its scales were all good things! Moreover, this set of armor can be considered completely complete."
Dragon armor'! The main part of its armor is polished and cast with dragon scales, and the joints of the armor are not made of iron or traditional craft beef tendons... but... dragon tendons! There are also helmets, shoulders
Important parts such as the armor, knees, etc. also have some keels added as linings!"
When Du Wei said this, no matter how cruel Hussein was, he couldn't help but be moved!
Dragon scales, dragon tendons, and dragon bones! And it’s a golden dragon!!
Such a set of armor...
"I've tried it. Ordinary fighting spirit can't even hurt it. Don't even leave a mark! Hey, you've fought against a golden dragon. You should know how strong an adult golden dragon's body is." Du Wei
He smiled and said: "Now, this armor is yours."
Hussein squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, and finally sighed: "You are really generous! And... the style of this armor is really strange."
Du Wei chuckled to himself, of course he would not tell Hussein that this was the style of the golden holy robe of Leo, one of the twelve golden saints, drawn by the mythical beast Penguin.
"The golden dragon's body is huge enough. So, I used its scales to make a total of twelve sets of armor like this." Du Wei said with a smile.
"Twelve sets?!" Hussein was surprised again: "Do you know that this approach is very wasteful? The golden dragon, earth, and dragon scales have many other valuable functions!"
"The only regret is that the magic I blessed is all human magic... I can't use dragon language magic yet. I don't know how to bless it... But with the magic blessing on the armor, you don't have to worry about its magic power being exhausted...
... Feel free to use it. The magic gems inlaid on it are not ordinary magic crystals... I used multicolored stones! Although each set of armor does not use much, it is enough for you to splurge."
Hussein was silent for a while, then suddenly pulled out his long sword. He raised his hand and struck the sword hard on the armor's chest!
Keng!
There was a loud collision, and the golden light on the armor burst out, but then the buzzing sound of the long sword in Hussein's hand was heard, and the edge of the long sword suddenly broke and turned into pieces!
But as expected, there was not even a single mark left on the chest of that armor!
Although Hussein's sword did not use the power of a holy level, the power of a powerful paladin's sword is really not small!
Looking at the broken sword hilt in his hand, Hussein showed a satisfied smile on his face. Although he was very cold, a warrior always hoped for sharp weapons and perfect armor.
"Thank you, this gift is great."
Hussein accepted Duwei's gift without ceremony.
Du Wei then took out a huge gold-plated box over one meter high from the storage ring! On the box, it was very clear that a lion was depicted!
"What is this?" Hussein frowned: "A box for armor?"
"Actually... it's a box used to store the holy robes." Du Wei laughed: "This is one of my bad tastes. How about it? It's very beautiful, isn't it?"
"Holy Cloth? That's a really unpleasant name." Hussein said unceremoniously.
"Don't be like this. My friend, you see, you are a paladin. This armor is also made of the scales of a holy golden dragon, so isn't it appropriate to call it a holy garment?"
Then, under Du Wei's strong request, Hussein really couldn't stand Du Wei's noise, so he could only wear the armor on the spot in front of Du Wei...
Then, Du Wei looked at Hussein in front of him, who was wearing the Golden Saint Cloth of Leo... He was completely stunned!!
Like! It’s so similar!
Just like the cartoon that he had read in his previous life that was popular for a generation, the Hussein in front of him has the same cold appearance, the same handsomeness, and the same flowing blond hair as the Leo Golden Saint Aiolia! (Of course,
, the only difference is that Hussein only has one eye).
But from the look on his face, this blond man who is full of coldness and toughness looks like the Golden Saint stepping out of a painting!!
If... he releases his golden fighting spirit, it will be more like the golden universe of the golden saint...
Although Hussein didn't say it, he seemed to be very satisfied.
However, after looking at himself carefully, he frowned and looked at a subtle mark on his chest... It was a very small totem-like thing carved on the left chest of the armor. It was composed of several simple patterns,
It formed a somewhat ferocious-looking head... There were horns on the head and a sharp mouth and fangs.
"What's this?"
Du Wei smiled slightly: "This is the head of a devil. It is... the symbol of our knights."
"Knights?"
"Yes." Du Wei curled his lips: "Recently, there are always names of knights of this kind and that. You see, the Knights Association has their Knights of the Sword of Roland. A few days ago, in order to get the destiny for His Majesty Emperor Charles.
Mythological color, I took out the Knights of Saint Laurent as a banner... So I have been thinking, as the Duke of Tulips, I also want to establish our own knights. And the name...Tulip Knights?
It’s too tacky and a bit girly. It’s not fun to use flowers as the name of the knights.”
"So, the name you came up with is..."
"Devil Knights!" Du Wei looked into Hussein's eyes: "This is the name I came up with."
Demon Knights!
As the first member of the Demon Knights to obtain armor, Hussein went directly south to the swamp that night to help Duwei snatch the griffin eggs.
I am afraid that only this saint-level powerhouse can handle such a difficult task.
And Du Wei?
He ran out of the city the next day!
Just outside the Acropolis in the south of the imperial capital, the Imperial Military High Command vacated a military fortress built decades ago as the site of the new "Imperial Military Academy".
And just a few days ago, a total of 160 young officers from all over the mainland, from the garrison armies in various parts of the empire, as well as the Southern Army, and the navy, had come to the military headquarters in the imperial capital to report.
Passed.
After Du Wei's selection, according to his own standards, he directly crossed out a group of people who he thought were unqualified from the list with a stroke of his pen.
Du Wei crossed out dozens of people who he thought were too old or whose family backgrounds were too tough.
Although Deputy Minister of Military Affairs Camisillo had a dispute with Du Wei over this. Camisillo felt that it was not good for Du Wei to cross out so many people at once. After all, the military's internal officer training courses have always been
A place controlled by some wealthy nobles or families of military generals. Among the candidates eliminated by Du Wei, quite a few people have strong backgrounds and have traditional close relationships with the military.
"Please, I want to educate young officers. What I want are young people with potential! This is not a place for those people to gild! It is not a place for people with mixed qualifications! I want people who can endure hardship and can be under my control.
Young man!" Du Wei pointed disdainfully at the name he had crossed out on the list: "Look at this... God, he is already thirty-nine years old! By the time he graduates, he will be over forty years old.
What can you do? Get some qualifications here, and then you can be promoted to general after you come out? Can I expect an old guy in his forties to go into battle? How many years can he move? I don't understand how you entrust such a person to
What am I doing! Nursing for the elderly? This is not a nursing home!"
"But there are also young people who have been crossed out by you." Camisillo argued with reason.
"Yes! Yes! For example, this! The famous playboy, I heard that he spends more time with women than sleeping! And this guy, I heard that he is a famous spendthrift! Oh. Also.
There’s this… I know this name! A spring drill two years ago. This guy even got lost with his army!!”
Du Wei closed the list angrily: "Camisillo! I know your difficulties! But I hope you understand that what I want are young people with real potential! Not these people who are just waiting to die to gain qualifications.
Bastard! I will not reject the son of a general or the young master of a marquis. But the premise is that these people must be truly qualified soldiers! Not the kind of loser who needs ten or eight servants to even wear armor! Look!
Look at the rubbish you gave me, I heard that one of them actually dueled someone over a prostitute last time!"
"But……"
Du Wei didn't wait for Camisillo to finish speaking, and said coldly: "Dueling is nothing! It's normal for young people to fight. But what makes me speechless is that this guy in the duel actually lost! I heard that he was beaten
I have to roll around on the ground and cry out for mercy! I don’t want such a weakling!"
Camisillo sighed and could only obey Du Wei's decision.
There are a total of one hundred and eight officers who were finally selected into the first class of the "Imperial Military Academy" (hum, I just like the number one hundred and eight, the sum of Tiangang and Disha~~)
Most of these people are imperial officers under the age of thirty-five. They come from all over the mainland. Each of them has been in the army for more than five years. Some of them have performed well in the army, some have outstanding martial arts skills, and some have
It’s the family background that is deep…
Their military ranks ranged from the lowest to the cavalry commander who commanded hundreds of cavalry in the original army, to the highest to the rank of deputy commander.
Of course, the only exception is Du Wei's younger brother! There is also Gabri, who is only fifteen years old in one month and will be the future Earl of the Luo Lin family. He has no experience of serving in the army for a day.
The so-called opening ceremony was very simple. One hundred and eight students came to this military fortress to report. In addition to them, there was also a group of imperial guards specially transferred by Du Wei.
On a cold morning, before the sun had risen, these students were ordered to stand in line on the playground. After standing in the cold wind for two quarters of an hour, their dean, Du Wei, dressed in thick clothes
The robe arrived belatedly.
These students, who were ordered to wear only light armor, were all stiff from the cold. Looking at Du Wei, who was wearing a thick robe and hunched his head, everyone cursed in their hearts. But on the surface, everyone still behaved respectfully.
After all, the other party is the Tulip Duke!
"I know, you must be scolding me in your heart." Du Wei stood in front of these students and began to lecture: "Believe me, in the next period of time, I guarantee that you will scold me even more! I will be fierce.
I will teach you a lesson, make you cry for father and mother, and make you hate me so much that you want to kill me! So... curse me in your heart! Because this is the only thing you can do! Other than that, you can only obey.
I will do what I say meticulously!!"
"The youngest among you is fifteen years old...the oldest is thirty-four." Du Wei snorted and sneered twice: "But it doesn't matter. In three days at most, you will regret why you came to this world!"
Du Wei looked at the one hundred and eight students in front of him with serious eyes, and then he smiled cruelly: "Welcome to this terrible place, my dear students! What awaits you next is a nightmare!"
Under the complicated eyes of the students, Du Wei walked around the queue. Then he announced calmly: "In order to facilitate management, I will organize you into a squadron according to the customs in the army... Exactly over a hundred people.
.I need to elect a captain so that I can manage you when I am not around."
When they heard this, many people couldn't help but cast their eyes on Gabri. Everyone knew that Gabri was Duwei's younger brother. Obviously, the fat job of captain would probably fall on Gabri. Yes.
Therefore, everyone has already made the best preparations in their hearts.
"Knight Alor, come out!" Du Wei suddenly called out a name that was unfamiliar to everyone.
In the surprised eyes of everyone, in the queue, a man in his thirties took a big step forward and stood upright at the front of the queue!
This man stood upright, despite the cold wind, but did not tremble or shrink his neck at all. The expression on his face was plain and indifferent, but it was full of the perseverance of a true soldier!
Of course, it doesn't mean that others don't look like soldiers. After all, they are also outstanding young people selected from armies from various places. But this Yalor behaves differently from others!
He stood there, his body as straight as a spear, and the aura faintly exuding from his body was different from everyone else! It was a true edge that had been baptized and tempered by war!
"Yalor, from now on, you are their captain. When I am away, you have the power to punish those who violate the rules, do you understand?" Duwei looked at this guy.
The two of them are old acquaintances.
That time that year, when the Golden Wolf Head of the Grassland led a surprise attack on the city of Giliyat with 20,000 cavalry, the Yalor knight was a cavalry captain in the army under Bohan, the governor of Nulin Province. At that time, he was ordered to
Bohan ordered three hundred cavalry to rush to Du Wei's aid. This young knight fought bravely and resolutely, and had strict discipline. Du Wei had a good impression of him.
More importantly, this Yalor gave Du Wei a sentence at that time. It was a sentence from Governor Bohan, who had a bad relationship with Du Wei at that time: "National affairs are the most important thing"!
However, after the Northwest Army was wiped out, Governor Bohan was transferred out of the northwest. Because he belonged to the eldest prince's camp in his early years, the regent dismissed him from the position of governor and gave him a high position with glory but no real power.
As for this Knight of Alor, he also participated in the war that wiped out the Northwest Army, and fought bravely... It's a pity, because he is an army under Governor Bohan. When the military merits were awarded that time, Governor Bohan's territory was full of people.
All members of the military were ostracized and treated unfairly.
This time, Du Wei had already put a lot of thought into this officer training class. He wanted to cultivate some of his own party members here... It's a despicable idea, isn't it?
So he needed a few old acquaintances that he was familiar with. It was unrealistic to get people from the Tulip family's army. That would arouse Prince Chen's suspicion. So Du Wei later added the Alor knight to the list.
He can be regarded as an old comrade who has fought with him.
When Du Wei announced Yalor as the captain in public, there was immediate opposition from people below.
"I object. Mr. Dean!" A voice came out from the queue. Obviously, this voice represented the opinions of many people!
"Reason!" Du Wei glanced coldly at the guy in the queue. The information showed that this guy was the son of a certain general.
"Your Excellency Yalor was just a cavalry commander before. I think he is not qualified enough to convince the public!"
Du Wei hummed and smiled: "You mean, he is the person with the lowest military rank among your group?"
"...That's it." The man gritted his teeth.
"Is there any other reason?" Du Wei's face didn't seem too scary: "Say it, if you say it right, I will reward you!"
"Your Excellency Yaluo's martial arts skills are not the strongest. I think we should choose a person with the strongest martial arts skills to be the captain!"
"His title is not enough. I think the person with the highest title among us should be the captain. I recommend Mr. Gabri." Obviously, the person who said this was trying to flatter Duwei.
Seeing the people in the queue starting to talk nonsense, Du Wei snorted and sneered.
The only one who understands the meaning of Du Wei's expression is Gabri! Only Gabri knows. When his brother has such a smile on his face, he is definitely a terrible devil! He has already begun to worry about the future deep in his heart.
colleagues prayed.
"Let's talk about qualifications first." Du Wei said lightly: "The military rank of the Yalor Knight is not high? Okay. Then I will tell you what qualifications are! In the army! The Yalor Knight once cut down six people on the battlefield with his own hands.
The head of the alien prairie cavalry! He has experienced war and killed people among thousands of troops on the battlefield! Who among you has done this, stand up!"
"Also, who just said that the person with the highest martial arts skills should be the captain? Then let me tell you, this is not a martial arts tournament! It is a military camp! What I want is an officer! Not a simple samurai! Otherwise, I will let the champion of the martial arts tournament
Knight Kakarot is here to be your captain!"
"Finally... who said just now that the title is the highest? Then you'd better pack up and leave tonight! Then go back to your home and continue to be your noble! Because the army doesn't need you!"
No one spoke anymore.
Du Wei walked up to Yalor, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered: "Be a good captain and don't let me down... Also, today I will help you establish your authority, but the real authority depends on you.
Stand up on your own, it's up to you to make these bastards convince you!"
"I will disappoint you." Knight Alor looked determined.
Du Wei sneered, and then ordered the team to line up again.
"Everyone, line up, and the first lesson today is... run around the playground! Quick, this is an order!"
"How many laps? Dean?" One person couldn't help but ask.
Du Wei went up and kicked him to the ground: "Run until I tell you to stop!" As he said, he looked at the guy at his feet: "Because you questioned the commander's order, so... I will tell you about your lunch today.
Goodbye! Now, get up, join the queue, and start running! Whoever's feet slow down first before I say stop will be the same, and there will be no food for lunch!"
Seeing these officers hurriedly lined up and started running on the playground, Du Wei stood there and watched with a smile.
The quality of these people was not bad, at least they were all officers after all, and when they ran, the queue was quite orderly.
At this time, Camisillo came over from a distance... Today is the "opening ceremony" after all, and as a representative of the military, he will always appear.
"Is running like this useful? Duwei?" Camisillo frowned.
"Of course it's useless to simply run." Du Wei said lightly: "I'm just letting them remember the importance of orders! A true soldier has to obey orders as his bounden duty! The final result I want to achieve is that even if there is a cliff ahead,
When I say 'run', no one dares to stand still! Obey! Obedience to orders comes first!"
As the site of the Imperial Military Academy, this playground was originally a school field in this military fortress, and the area was quite large! When one hundred and eight officers ran around the playground for the eighteenth time, some people finally began to fall behind.
After all, these guys were required to wear armor today. Although it was not a full set of heavy cavalry armor, these light armors weighed dozens of kilograms.
Some people began to fall behind, and the originally neat team became longer and longer. The last person even couldn't help but want to take off his armor! This heavy thing made people breathless!
And running at the front of the team was the Alor knight.
He ran neither too fast nor too slowly, and his breathing rhythm was very stable. Only veterans who have truly been on the battlefield and experienced life and death know how to maximize the use and distribution of their physical strength during a long march!
"Take three steps and exhale, take three steps and inhale." Yaluoer suddenly shouted to his teammates: "Keep your breathing rhythm, and you won't be so tired. Don't run too fast, and don't run too slow!"
Du Wei stood in the middle of the playground and looked at Camisillo next to him with a smile: "First thing, Mr. Camisillo, these students you gave me are really bad! It's ridiculous, they are actually you
Outstanding elements selected from the army from all over the country?"
"There is no way, the real elites are all in the main battle legion, and they have been singled out by the Storm Legion and the Thunder God's Whip. These people... are considered very good in the local garrison. And... don't forget, you
We made them stand here for a long time before dawn today, and they didn't even eat breakfast! It's not bad to be able to run like this."
Camisillo sighed.
"Well, the second thing..." Du Wei smiled: "I need a few doctors. It would be best if the church sends two priests who know the light healing technique."
"Why... why?" Camisillo frowned: "Could it be... God, are there casualties during training in the academy? What are you planning to do?"
"You won't die if you die." Du Wei said calmly: "I am sensible, but some blood and injuries will occur. This is normal."
Camisillo swallowed and said, "I'm starting to regret letting you be the dean."
