That's very badass

Chapter 147 The Dawn Knights Formation

After everyone rushed to the city, the sky was already dotted with stars.

In order not to cause misunderstanding, the southern nobles stationed their troops far outside the city before entering the city with prepared gifts.

Of course, Roland would not refuse these gifts. After all, this was to reassure them, otherwise they would think that their gifts were not accepted by the master and thus be treated differently.

Considering their poor strength, Roland did not let anyone sing the salute, which made some people say 'miscalculation' in their hearts and showed heartache on their faces.

Facing the toasts from the southern nobles, Roland just drank one round and then refused, "As the lord of this place, I need to stay awake to protect the guests here."

Roland's eyes revealed a piercing chill, and his puns expressed his distrust of them.

Only then did they stop toasting, and started eating and drinking on their own.

Being bored in the lord's hall all day made him uncomfortable. After the last group of guests left, Roland stood up.

He took his wife's hand and left the hall directly. As for the food, the servants would naturally clean it up.

The Roland couple came to the city wall, and the southern noble camp was burning in the distance.

After taking a deep breath, his thoughts began to wander.

"Vicky, my wife, tell me why the Rhodes family is afraid of us."

Vicky leaned her head on his shoulder, and then said half-jokingly: "Maybe they are afraid of your strength."

Roland stroked her golden hair with one hand, and said seriously: "Stop joking, to be honest."

"I'm not joking, your rise is unparalleled and abrupt, although your business status is recorded in the kingdom, but no one takes it seriously.

It only took you a little over two years to have everything you have now.

Neither your great strength nor those elite soldiers can be cultivated in a short time.

Maybe there are indeed geniuses in this world, but you have already surpassed the limit of genius.

It's hard to believe that there will be such a grassroots rise, businessmen become powerful fighters?Even bards dare not say that.

Then there is only one possibility, you come from a powerful force.

Only in this way can all this be explained, and in the northern border, there is no guess except for the Osborne family."

After listening to Madam's words, Roland fell into deep thought. He hadn't paid attention to this aspect before, and he grew up so fast that it was unbelievable.

Since the Rhodes family can think of this problem, then the Osborne family will also think of this problem. So what is their attitude towards themselves?
This question cannot be pondered deeply, Roland thinks that he is the illegitimate child of the Osborne family, but this is completely impossible.

Because his memory has no mistakes or omissions, but what is the support of the Osborne family to him?

Is it really just because of the orcs?Or the legendary Gron?Do they have the power to destroy Borean Fortress?

Obviously, his wife couldn't give him an answer to this question, but what was certain was that the threat of the orcs was imminent.

More than two full years have passed since the orc's change. Thinking of this, Roland's eyes fell on the Hengduan Mountains again.

His gaze seemed to have penetrated there, and landed on the orc prairie.

Once the scale of desertification is formed, it will inevitably sweep across the entire orc prairie with the momentum of a prairie fire.

So will the orcs come over the Hengduan Mountains? The answer is impossible. Even if they can climb the thousands of meters high mountain.

They also didn't have enough supplies, and the food they could personally carry was so limited that they couldn't get across the mountains with that little food.

Similarly, the lack of oxygen and altitude sickness on the top of the mountain or halfway up the mountain cannot be overcome in a short time, so it is a restricted area.

Thinking of this, Roland realized that his worries were unfounded, and this was the meaning of the existence of the North Wind Fortress.

Otherwise, it would be a joke if the predecessors spent so much effort, even the project that caused the collapse of the First Empire.

After returning to the room, Roland had time to open the system panel and check Vicky's attributes.

Early the next morning, Roland and his party arrived directly outside the city.

A high platform was built here last night, and densely packed targets were set up within ten miles along the way. They were used for performances.

And assembled all the cavalry, he planned to set up the Dawn Knights today, and sent people to invite the nobles to watch the ceremony.

As the nobles arrived, Roland arranged them on the chairs next to them to watch the ceremony.

Then he opened his mouth and said: "I invite you all here today for the establishment of the Knights Order, I hope everyone can be a witness.

Of course, everyone needs to see if they are worthy of the title of knight.

These great guys have experienced many battles with me, and many of them have died in battle. If they don't keep their promises, it will become empty talk. "

Roland's words empathized with those warrior knights.

Of course, in this peaceful age, their number is extremely rare.

Most of them were trained from childhood and trained for 14 years.

It's just that with the gathering of imperial cavalry, everyone was a little confused.

Is Earl Roland planning to confer thousands of knights?

This made them feel that knights were worthless, but out of respect for Earl Roland's bravery, they still planned to see the performance of these 'reserve knights' first.

Only then did I decide whether to criticize or marvel at it, because such a thing is so unbelievable.

As for the nobles, they somewhat disagreed with Count Roland's approach.

The Earl is playing tricks on the Thousand Knights?They were even filled with disdain.

If there were only a hundred knights, they felt that they could still look forward to the performance of the knights. After all, there were so many targets on the field for performance.

But to form a knight group of thousands of people at once, in their view, it is completely nonsense and play.

Although any nobleman can establish a knightly order in name, even a baron can do so, and their families once formed a knightly order.

At that time, the knighthood was redundant, and any noble was proud to own a knighthood. The number of knights ranged from dozens to thousands.

It's just that the cost is too great, and their financial resources are not enough for them to support more knights, and only the royal family and the Osborne family still support the knights.

However, this sparse number could not play its due role on the battlefield, so this flashy organization was cancelled.

In their view, the price paid for raising so many knights is enough to arm ten times as many soldiers, and such a deal is not worthwhile.

It not only relies on huge wealth, but also requires the knights to have sufficient strength. Their dispatch must be able to make the final decision, and they also have the ability to crush ordinary infantry.

Otherwise, the established knighthood will only become a joke and make people laugh.

The performance of everyone present fell into the eyes of Roland, which was something he expected a long time ago, and he was not angry about it.

And the matter of conferring thousands of knights at once will inevitably spread throughout the northern border and even the entire kingdom at an exaggerated speed.

This is the purpose of his doing this. He is to let more people know that he can gain status if he has made great contributions here. No matter how many people there are, he can still do what he says.

Then you must be curious about the reason for doing this. Is it just to promote that Count Roland keeps his word?

No, all this is to attract more companions, and those knights and nobles are the best 'tap water', promoting them for free.

And these knights are the best candidates, and of course those second sons who are not valued are also included in this list.

They were all educated in childhood, mainly in the military. As for management experience, few people may have it.

If he could become a companion, Roland would certainly not be stingy with the rights and titles in his hands. If he was an ordinary person, he would not have this treatment.

Of course, it would be even better if you are married, just buy one get one free.

Of course, this is not to say that the noble soldiers under Roland are not good, but that their growth is restricted, not just because they cannot become companions.

But based on loyalty, he will not give up his title, provided that he has a large enough territory and needs to send someone to manage it.

It's fine if you let them lead soldiers, but if you let them manage a larger territory, there will be problems because they have not received relevant education.

And this kind of education is generally carried out for the heirs of the family. This is the magic weapon for the continuation of each family, and they will not show it to others easily.

People in this world are too slick about backstabbing. It's not that he's afraid that he won't be able to do it, but he thinks about defending against his own people every day, so it's too tiring.

How many underappreciated people are there in this world? The truth must be very few. Maybe one in a million, one hundred thousand, or one million, these are not important.

As long as he thinks that he is an unappreciated person, he can know from this information that Earl Roland's promotion of knights does not depend on birth, but only on ability.

Of course there are some pretentious people among them, so how to deal with them, whether as an ordinary soldier or other professions, this place can provide them.

As for general manpower, he has no shortage at all. The noble soldiers of the empire are fully capable, but what he lacks are companions who can stand alone.

Thinking of this, he thought of the family system, but he didn't know how to unlock it, and he didn't know where the family recognized by the system was.

These can only be taken one step at a time.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Roland did not continue to wait, but directly shouted: "Where are the armored cavalry?"

The imperial cavalry responded in unison, and Roland nodded in satisfaction, "Prepare for the sword ceremony."

Beside the actions of Roland and Mrs. Vicky, 1030 matching swords have been placed and prepared, no more, no less.

They didn't mean to pretend to others, the Rolands had to rely on themselves to complete the ceremony.

This is respect for the knight class, as well as respect for the noble class and themselves.

As they walked down the high platform, the cavalry in the entire cavalry phalanx had knelt on one knee, waiting for their lord to give them swords.

The Roland couple lightly touched each other's back neck and shoulders with the back of their swords, and then the knights who received the sword swore to uphold loyalty and honor.

They proceeded in such a tedious manner, without anyone questioning, or showing signs of impatience or words.

With the oaths of the knights, the whole ceremony has come to an end. They are still short of a leader or several deputy leaders, but Roland only plans to have one for the time being.

"Mirron, Vasili comes out."

As Mirron and Vasili came out, Roland continued: "As the first soldiers to follow me, you have experienced all the battles with me.

Here, in my capacity as a lord, I announce that Mirron is the head of the Knights of Daybreak and holds the title of baron.

As the deputy head of the Dawn Knights, Vasili leads the title of baron.

You will be like a sword of dawn that shines in the dark night, piercing through the difficulties that stand in front of us one by one. This is where the name of Dawn comes from.

Here, I am honored to announce that the Knights of the Dawn are officially established. "

Roland did not explain that this is the title of honorary baronet, which is a bit of a trick, but he thinks that even if it is so, it is still quite tempting.

Roland sat down again, picked up a glass of ale and drank it directly, moistening his dry throat.

Following Count Roland's signal, the trumpeter next to him blew his horn.

"Dawn Knights, raise your shields and mount your guns, form a dense formation, the target in front of the target."

The Dawn Knights quickly completed the action of raising their shields and setting up their guns, and directly launched a charge in a dense formation.

You must know that cavalry charges generally use a fan shape, or charge at intervals of a certain distance, and there are so many targets along the way, all of which are connected by a wooden stick below them.

And such a dense and extremely close distance between the front and rear knights is impossible on the battlefield, and even the performance venue has never been on such a large scale.

More importantly, they charged in a long straight line.

As long as one knight makes a mistake, the entire team will have a serious accident, and even cause huge casualties.

In the eyes of some, this is simply nonsense.

Such an exaggerated behavior made all the people watching the ceremony stand up one after another, and they watched the dawn knights leave without taking their eyes off it.

They quickly turned their attention to Roland, and found that the old god was drinking ale. Before they had time to think about it, they turned their targets to the Dawn Knights.

Whether it was looking for death or really powerful, this kind of behavior was unique, and they didn't want to miss a single bit.

The first crack of the lance was heard, followed by the continuous crack of the lance, like setting off firecrackers, followed by the last crack.

It was only then that the crowd came to their senses, as if they couldn't control themselves, they let out all kinds of applause, and after a few minutes of wanton venting, they sat down slowly.

From this day on, the Daybreak Knights have become a legend since the day it was established.
