That's very badass

Chapter 109 Knighting Ceremony: Part [-]
After marching for a month and a half, Roland gathered an army of more than 1 people and finally arrived at the capital.

Most of them were viscount nobles, because the nobles above the earl didn't bother to march with them after seeing their viscount flags, and Roland didn't plan to put a hot face on a cold ass.

Only these viscounts, seeing Viscount Whitnet's flag, gathered spontaneously as if they had discovered the team.

When they learned that Roland was about to be named earl, they all congratulated him and praised him for being young and promising.

They are both nobles in the northern border, and with their deliberate friendship, the journey has been quite harmonious.

They could already vaguely see the royal city, and all they could see was a huge barracks that surrounded the entire city in a row. In such a comparison, the majestic city seemed petite.

Countless peasants pulled the carriages and shuttled countless goods. Judging from the smoke rising from everywhere, each army was preparing their own lunch.

There are more camps being built, countless tents stand on the ground, and the camps are even separated by thick logs.

Presumably it was a decision to prevent them from quarreling with each other, because the construction of this separation was still in progress.

Roland couldn't help feeling, "The nobles' handling of grievances is simple and rude. ’ And said that after being awarded the title, he must learn a little bit, otherwise others may think that he is easy to bully.

Looking at the approaching army, although he didn't see any banners of the great nobles, Viscount Ula, the head of logistics, greeted them immediately with a smile on his face.

He knew the pissing nature of these local nobles. Last time, he was caught by a group of viscounts and scolded because he sent a subordinate to approach them.

It's just that at this sensitive time, he couldn't report this matter to the king, because when the king needed the nobles, he obviously wouldn't punish them, but would think that he was incompetent, and he couldn't even do this well.

For this reason, he even made a special apology, which eliminated the crisis, but the scale this time seems to be a bit large. In the past, most of the viscounts gathered thousands of people, but this time it seems that there are many more.

"Good day, my lord, and all the lords of the families."

Seeing that the leader was a person he didn't know, he had never seen a flag, but he had never seen the armor of most soldiers in the army, nor the flag.

He guessed that this must be a powerful pioneering nobleman, but he didn't know how big his territory was.

From the soldier's point of view, this man's territory should not be small, but he was mixed into the viscount's team, which made him a little puzzled, and then he remembered his flag, and then he understood.

After being reminded by Miss Vicki, Roland learned the nobleman's name, "Good day, Viscount Ula, please arrange our camp, everyone is a little tired after coming all the way."

Although Roland was riding on a horse, he felt a little tired after such a long march, not to mention the soldiers on foot, their riding skill increased by 10 points, reaching 110 points.

"Come this way, my lords."

After saying that, he led everyone directly to the camp. There happened to be one camp for an army of ten thousand people, so there was no need to go through the trouble of piecing it together.

Under the arrangement of Viscount Ula, everyone quickly obtained their camp, and most of them were nobles who could chat with each other on the road. As for those who couldn't chat, most of them joined other teams. Roland felt that this There is nothing dissatisfied with the arrangement.

Moreover, besides responding to the call, his purpose of this trip was to obtain a title. He did not intend to cause any troubles for this. He planned to ask Viscount Wula about the knighting ceremony after he had arranged some affairs.

Roland was waiting at the gate of the camp early on. Looking at the Viscount Ula coming towards him, he greeted him with a smile, saluted and said, "Good day, Viscount Ula, I am Roland, the pioneer lord.

This trip is in response to the king's call, and at the same time, I am here to participate in the knighting ceremony that His Majesty authorized in advance. I just don't know where I need to report my information? "

"Good day, pioneer lord Roland, I don't know your last name, I wonder if I can tell you."

After returning a salute, Viscount Ulla took out his notes and began to search one by one. At the same time, he asked Roland for his surname. In his opinion, with so many soldiers, there must be a powerful family behind him.

"My name is Roland. This is my name. I am not a descendant of any family."

Roland, who had heard this question countless times, had no choice but to explain it again, but he didn't mean to blame others. Even if he had a system, he was very careful. No wonder they thought there was a powerful family behind him. .

This really surprised Viscount Ula. He quickly turned to the page of pioneering lords. There were only a few dozens of people. Soon he saw Roland's name, and the territory was Evernight Forest.

He knew this place, although the names and locations were filled in by intelligence agencies.But as a logistics chief, it can be said that he is very fond of every piece of the king's land, which is a forest once occupied by trolls.

Unexpectedly, it is already in the hands of humans. No wonder he always thought the name was familiar. It turned out that the information about the orc prairie came from his territory last time, and he completely remembered it.

His Majesty also told him that when he arrived, he would be brought directly to the palace for the knighting ceremony.

Most people knew about how Roland won, and everyone called him 'Lucky' Roland.

As for the eligibility to obtain the title, it is obvious that he already possesses this strength. A potential earl is worthy of His Majesty's efforts to win him over.

As for why he opened it directly when he arrived, it was because Roland's territory was almost at the northernmost end of the kingdom.
When he arrived, most of the other nobles of the kingdom also arrived. His Majesty decided that the army would be dispatched immediately. As for saying that he would start the knighting ceremony directly after his arrival, it was just a matter of course.

What's more, conveying such a sentence can gain the loyalty of an earl, which is also an extremely cost-effective thing in His Majesty's view.

Because most of the others are minor nobles, such as viscounts and barons. As for you, knights?The kingdom doesn't have independent knights at all. They can only join other families as vassals, which is not worth mentioning.

Looking at the seven or eight pioneering lords who have come on the list, they have all accepted His Majesty's canonization.

Viscount Ula knew that he had to report this information to the king, because His Majesty had already set the date for the expedition, which was tomorrow, and he still had a lot of work to do.

Looking at Viscount Ula, whose face was constantly changing, Roland was a little puzzled, but he didn't do anything, but waited patiently. At such a critical moment, offending someone or being tripped by someone is not worth the candle.

In fact, this was because Roland was underestimating himself. As a lord who brought the same soldiers from the earldom, even the king would give him a little bit of shame, because the king also needed to consider the feelings of other earls.

You can look down on a person who is equivalent to their title, whether you may also look down on them, as a king, there is still some political wisdom.

Although most of those who came were family members or knights, they still had the obligation to maintain the family or clan.

After thinking so much, but it was only for a moment, Viscount Ula came back to his senses, saluted again, and said: "

I'm sorry to keep you waiting. It's been a long time since the King has seen a young hero like you. Without the help of the family, I was so shocked that I won such a large territory alone.

His Majesty also specifically asked me to inform him immediately after your arrival. This shows that His Majesty is interested in you. Prepare your pioneering documents and come with me, Count Roland. "

Seeing the twitching corner of Roland's mouth gradually turning into a look of surprise, Viscount Ulla was very satisfied with his expression. After speaking, Viscount Ula waved for Roland to follow.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. It makes me feel a little scared. I also thank you for your kindness, Viscount Ulla."

While Roland was speaking, he followed Viscount Ulla's pace. Like Viscount Ulla, Roland also brought two guards with him. This is a card that belongs exclusively to nobles, no matter how big or small the title is.

Considering that Andal had been expelled, Roland did not take him with him, but brought two elite armored cavalrymen of the empire. Roland did not want to try the limit of His Majesty's endurance, let alone die if he tried.

As the imperial capital of the former First Empire, this city is not as good as the North Wind Fortress. Its city walls are only 8 meters high, and the style of the gates is also somewhat different from other cities. It has four gates.

As a nobleman about to be enshrined, of course Roland walked through the main entrance. The so-called main entrance was just a city gate facing the palace gate.

In the past one and a half months, the guards at the gate of the capital have become much more honest, and there is no such thing as a search.

Because they don't know whether their behavior will bore any righteous nobleman, or just because they are in a bad mood, they will be whipped when they see them breaking the rules.

As a king, he was enshrined by nobles from all over the world, and naturally he had to guarantee their rights and interests. This was also his duty and the cornerstone of his rule.

After passing through the city gate, they brought the palace and looked at the two guards left by Viscount Ulla. Roland also left them behind, and then followed Viscount Ula all the way to the king's hall.

It was only when Roland was stopped, following the guard's gaze, he untied the sword from his waist and handed it to the soldier who brought him.

Looking at Roland, who was in the king's hall in front of him, he immediately grabbed Viscount Wula, pointed to the armor on his body and said, "Viscount Wula, is this suitable?"

Roland felt a little uneasy in his heart, the Duke of Osborne was fine, after all, it was someone else's hobby.But today's occasion is markedly different.

In this formal knighthood ceremony, he didn't want to make any mistakes, leave a bad influence on the king, and be ridiculed by others.

"Don't worry, Lord Roland, as a nobleman who pioneered foreign lands, he will be allowed to dress neatly and receive the title. This is your due honor."

He didn't look down on Roland because he didn't understand. Regardless of the military strength he held in his hands or the title he was about to receive, they were all beyond his reach.

Only then did Roland nod his head with some understanding. It is no wonder that the restart of the pioneering act in various places will cause a frenzy of pioneering. It turns out that there is another reason for this.This matter alone can blow up generations.

Of course, this is for those baron viscounts. The fact that Roland became an earl in one generation is more legendary than that.

And our Majesty the King has received this news long ago. He respects the tradition and has already put on a set of armor with the help of his attendants.Its openwork patterns and ornate carvings show an elf style.

But for the king, this level of extravagance does not cause any criticism, because it is created by his own wealth; as for whether he has seized the people's fat and people's anointing, it is no longer considered by other nobles, because it is on his own land .

Just as the king does not interfere with what laws the nobles enforce in their territories, the nobles do not dictate what the kingdom does.

After Roland entered the king's hall, the king stood up directly, because he still had a lot of things to deal with.

"Roland, people say that you are both a brave warrior and an excellent leader. If you will swear an oath to me, I will gladly accept your allegiance."

This rhythm was obviously beyond Roland's expectations, and it seemed that the situation on the border was already very corrupt.But the most important thing right now is his own knighting ceremony.

Putting aside distracting thoughts, he solemnly said, "I'm ready, Your Majesty Quesnel."

"Okay. Then, swear to me: I swear allegiance to you, the legal ruler of the Kingdom of Rhodes."

"I swear allegiance to you, the legal ruler of the Kingdom of Rhodes."

"As long as I have breath, I will be your loyal subordinate"

"If you need me to draw my sword to my aid, I will stand by your side and fight your enemies."

"I will defend the rights of you and your legal heirs."

His Majesty Quesnel stopped after reading a paragraph, and then Roland repeated a paragraph. Seeing Roland's solemn and solemn expression, he nodded in satisfaction after reading the last paragraph.

This is a nobleman who can be wooed, at least in his generation, a reliable nobleman.His Majesty Kanel took the half-sword held up by the attendant next to him, and came to Roland.

"In order to repay your loyalty, according to the development law, I will determine the alien land you developed as your legal territory. At the same time, according to the size of your territory, I will make you the count of the kingdom, and it will be protected by the kingdom's laws.

Anyone who attempts to obtain your territory by other illegal means will be attacked and retaliated by me.

In addition, please accept this gift as my affirmation of your ability, and I hope it can help you on the battlefield. "

After Roland took over the sword, he felt a cold feeling in his hand. He couldn't put it down and played with it. Then he saw the scabbard handed to him and realized that this was not a suitable occasion. He awkwardly put the sword in it. scabbard.

"Let the whole world know that from this day on, you are sworn to be my subordinate and vassal. I protect you and give you the right to bear arms in my name, and I promise not to deprive you of your life, liberty or property, except by lawful judgment arising from the noble group or the laws and customs of the kingdom.

You did a wise thing, Lord Roland.Serve me well, and I promise you more land and riches. "

"Thank you, my lord."

"I expect a lot from you, Roland. I know you will prove yourself worthy of my trust in you."
