From Baron to Lord

Allen sighed. He didn't allow Marco to continue recruiting soldiers, as the current financial situation was very difficult and needed to be slowed down for a while.

"Yes, sir. Also, sir, you asked me to select a thousand elite soldiers before. I have selected those who have been on the battlefield, and I have also summoned the sea cavalry back to Skywolf City according to your instructions," Marco said.

"Oh? Is it ready? Very good. Take all these people to the barracks on the side. I'll be waiting for you there," Allen said with a slight smile. At the same time, a hint of excitement rose in his heart. Now that the personnel had been selected, it was time to train knights.

Allen was extremely eager for knights. As a count, not having his own knight order was just too bad.

Chapter 120 Thousand-Man Knight Order! (5 Seeking subscriptions, self-subscriptions, and monthly tickets!)

Knights were powerful beings on the battlefield. Knights with Dou Qi could accomplish the feat of fighting a hundred enemies alone.

A knight order was a symbol of a count's military strength.

The role of a knight order was far more important than that of a cavalry regiment. Even if Allen gave up the opportunity to train more soldiers, he had to train a powerful knight order in the shortest possible time.

A knight order wearing knight armor and riding mounts was the steel torrent of this era.

Dou Qi gave them the power to cut through all obstacles. A five-hundred-man knight order could easily tear through the defense line of tens of thousands of troops!

On the battlefield, what the enemy feared most was the charge of the knight order.

Under the iron hooves of the knight order, the chances of survival were almost zero.

If Allen had a knight order during the last national war, he could confidently challenge the Marquis territory, provided he had enough strength to challenge a Marquis-level figure.

Thinking of this, Allen frowned slightly. Even if his troops became stronger, it was not enough. Marco had to become stronger.

After all, there were too few experts on his side, with no other Gold Knights besides himself.

This was something that made Allen a little unhappy.

Of course, cultivating a Gold Knight was also extremely difficult. Look at Count Albert of the Thorn Flower Territory. Besides himself being an eighth-level knight, the entire Thorn Flower Territory had no Gold Knights.

The title of Gold Knight was naturally extremely rare, a powerhouse as precious as gold.

Such powerhouses almost all had the strength to be conferred a countship alone. How many were willing to remain under someone else's command?

Unless the other party was a Marquis or Duke, it was rare for a count's territory to have two Gold Knights.

Of course, it could not be ruled out that some geniuses could break through to the seventh level at a young age, such as Andrew, the son of Count Battle Axe.

"It's time to train Marco. Nick should be familiar with the characteristics of Lucy's top-quality magic plants after these few months. With my halo bonus, making some high-quality magic potions should be no problem. Even if the technology doesn't reach that level, the quality of the magic plants can easily push them to advanced magic potions, or even top-quality magic potions. If that doesn't work, just let Marco eat the top-quality magic plants that Lucy cultivated. That thing can also be taken as an advanced magic potion."

Allen had personally consumed Lucy's magic plants, and the effect was very good!

If he could have more Gold Knights, plus enough knight orders, and his magical beasts, well, he estimated that he would soon be able to challenge a Marquis in terms of military strength.

As for the Grand Duke... well, let me break through to the Saint Realm first.

Allen quickly decided on the future development direction of his military strength. The number of soldiers would be temporarily stopped from increasing, and he would focus on training the knight order and the second Gold Knight.

As Marco had already sworn allegiance, Allen could train him with confidence, because the system's ability ensured that he would never betray him.

"Sir!" (cfbh) While Allen was thinking, Marco had already appeared beside him, and in front of him, a thousand soldiers were standing neatly.

Almost all of these thousand people were Allen's men who had followed him from Rose Town.

Only a few dozen were newly trained soldiers.

After all, Allen had suffered some losses during the national war.

"Well, you're here," Allen said, regaining his senses. He immediately said loudly, "Soldiers, I once said that you are all my best soldiers. Most of you have followed me from Rose Town, and most of you have followed me to the battlefield!"

"We won that battle, but it was also in that battle that many brothers sacrificed themselves. As a lord, I feel very heartbroken."

"I believe you feel the same. Living in this world, there is no absolute peace. What we need to do is to make ourselves stronger."

Allen's words aroused a strong sense of resonance in everyone. Yes, in this world, there is no peace. War is always the main theme of the continent.

Having experienced a war, they naturally longed to become stronger.

"I think you are all old soldiers who have followed me. You also know the power I possess. That's right, now I have once again received the grace of the gods. I will give this grace to you. This is an opportunity and a chance to become stronger!"

"All of you are the most elite soldiers I have selected. You are qualified to possess this power. Become stronger, my soldiers."

As Allen spoke, he directly used Knight Training Acceleration Cards on these thousand people.

This was the second time Allen had used the Knight Training Acceleration Card.

The first time was several months ago, and now the first batch of knights he trained were basically all Level 2 Knights.

The reason was simple: the system activated their knightly potential, and Allen provided them with abundant resources. With magic potions in endless supply, even a pig would learn to use battle qi.

Currently, the weakest of the first batch of knights were Level 2 Knights, and the strongest had already begun to sprint towards Silver Knight.

I wonder if Earl Aaron of the Thistle Flower Territory would be crying in the bathroom at this time.

"Ah! I feel like there's a warm current in my body!"

"Heavens, are we going to become knights like Green and the others?"

"Is this the power of the Lord?! Praise the Lord!"

"Great Lord!"

Allen watched the changes in these thousand people, and a hint of pride rose in his heart. I also have a knight order now!

And not the usual five-hundred-man knight order, but an enhanced version of one thousand.

Allen was already thinking about writing about his own aerial cavalry.

After all, the griffon species had been unlocked for a long time, and he finally had the opportunity to form aerial cavalry.

Knights plus griffons, apart from dragons, this kind of aerial cavalry was already a military force sufficient to dominate the sky.

"Lord, is this a gift from the God of War?!"

Marco's eyes widened; he simply couldn't believe the scene before him!

This scene was so familiar. Back then, Green and the ten others were like this, directly stepping into the threshold of knights from ordinary people!

The ten people back then had already shocked Marco, but after a few months, Marco once again saw this incredible scene.

And this time, it was directly one thousand people!

It was terrifying to even think about it, one thousand people, one thousand knights!

Even the weakest bronze knight would definitely be an extremely strong fighting force.

"Marco, are you still so shocked?"

Allen said calmly, "As the person who followed me the earliest, haven't you adapted yet?"

Marco immediately smiled wryly. Adapt?

How could he adapt to this?

This kind of miracle was simply unbelievable!

"Lord...I..."

Marco felt a little powerless, but he didn't know what to say.

Seeing others become knights so easily made Marco doubt himself.

"Marco, no need to be shocked by others. This is just the beginning. Alright, I'll leave the next things to you. After arranging these guys, come to Skywolf Castle. I have something to say to you."

After Allen finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Marco still in a daze of shock.

Marco sighed and glanced at the transforming reserve knights. A hint of a smile flashed in his eyes: "You brats, praise the Lord to your heart's content. From today onwards, you don't have to return to the East District barracks."

"From today onwards, you will live in the West District. Don't let down the Lord's grace. Quickly grow into qualified knights. The Lord is waiting for you to be loyal to him."

Marco's words made everyone cheer. The West District barracks could only be entered by knights. This was a residence specially prepared for the knight order, and it was much better than the East District in every aspect!

Moreover, entering the West District was an unparalleled glory that they had dreamed of.

They never thought that this dream would actually come true today!

"Praise the Lord!"

"We swear to be loyal to the Lord until death!"

Marco quickly arranged the residences for these thousand people and called out the ten people from Green who had lived here before.

After all, they were the first batch of people who had experienced divine grace, and they had enough experience and methods to guide this group of newcomers.

Marco had Green and the others train one hundred people each, teaching these thousand newbies the skills of a knight, and then he walked towards Skywolf Castle.

Although Marco didn't know what the Lord was looking for him for, Marco knew that the Lord must have something important to say.

When he arrived at Allen's Skywolf Castle, he was not taken to the main castle but was led by a maid who had been waiting for him at the gate to a three-story small castle.

"Lord, where is this?"

Marco looked at Allen inside the castle with some curiosity.

As an official, Marco did not have the right to reside in the castle. He frequented the main castle and the conference hall the most.

But he had never been here before.

When Allen saw Marco, he immediately showed a smile.

"Marco, you're here, come over!"

He waved to Marco.

Marco walked to Allen with a look of astonishment.

At the same time, he was also looking at everything around him.

Although it was a castle, it was very messy. All kinds of books and clothes were everywhere.

There were also many test tubes and strangely shaped things in the entire castle hall.

There were messy tables everywhere, and the floor was full of waste paper, which looked very messy.

"Lord, why does this castle look so..."
