Volume 7 Mortals and Gods Chapter 789 Curtain (Part 1)
More than half an hour later, smoke and dust filled the sky on the distant road, and the Knights of Order all straightened their bodies, preparing to welcome their allies.
"About three thousand knights came to Batoria this time. I really want to see how capable these knights, who are known as the number one in the mainland, are."
Anton arranged his helmet and armor and said to his father, Duke Otto.
Duke Otto just nodded and then looked into the distance.
The first thing that appeared on the horizon was a knight riding a pure-blood elf armored war horse. He was wearing a full set of plate armor, with yellow and black robes and cloaks rustling in the air, and gold and silver jewelry hanging on his chest.
, shining brightly with the owner's movements.
He holds a shield engraved with the Batoria "Red Fire Dragon" family emblem in his left hand, a huge lance burning with white flames in his right hand, and wears a giant cross-helmet with a golden statue of a dragon on the top of the helmet.
This is a Holy Grail Knight.
Behind him, thousands of Batorian knights came slowly towards the crowd with lances and shields. Behind them were knights' retinues in similar clothes, as well as knights wearing only leather armor and helmets.
Rangers.
Then there were many infantrymen. These infantrymen wore simple leather armor and round helmets. Some used axes and guns, some used swords and shields, and some used spears and longbows.
However, their common characteristics are that they are poorly dressed and look malnourished on their faces.
Compared with the elite imperial infantry regiments, these infantrymen from the Kingdom of Knights are much inferior in terms of equipment, mental state and morale.
"Welcome! Noble knight allies, on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor Peter I, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you. I wish you good health and let us fight against evil together!"
Duke Otto rode forward on his war horse and welcomed the knights: "Oh my god, I didn't expect that a Holy Grail knight would personally lead his army to praise the gods!"
"Thank you, my friends! Since the founding of Batoria, we have fought side by side against evil many times! When we learned that our allies were threatened by the evil wave of orcs, we felt that it was time, yes
It’s time to sound the rallying call again and fight side by side with our imperial friends!”
The Holy Grail Knight also extended his sincere greetings to Duke Otto: "I am Jules, the Knight of the Holy Grail. Madam, you must be your Excellency, Duke Otto, right?"
"Exactly! Your Excellency Jules, thank you for coming all the way. We have arranged a banquet to honor our knight friends." Duke Otto said with a smile, and then signaled that he had arranged the banquet.
"Are you Anton?" Holy Grail Knight Jules looked to be about forty years old. He immediately spotted Anton standing next to Otto. After looking at him intently for a while, the Holy Grail Knight suddenly smiled and said:
"Welcome, young warrior, champion of the ladies, to the ranks of the Knights of the Holy Grail."
It turns out that although Anton is a noble of the Albrex Empire, he is the wife of Duke Otus. Anton's mother is the daughter of the Duke of Batoria, so Anton has been trained as a knight in Batoria since he was a child, and he also
Won the championship in the martial arts competition.
The most important point is that Anton is not the only son of Duke Otto. He also has an older brother, who is the future heir of the Duke. Therefore, with the acquiescence of Duke Otto, Anton will be in Batoria.
Seek development.
You should know that except for the eldest son, the other second sons have no inheritance rights at all.
"It's an honor to meet you, Lord Jules!"
Anton shook hands with Jules, and he was a little moved.
This is the case with the Holy Grail Knights. Those who can complete the Holy Grail Trial and reach the end of the Holy Grail Road are true warriors and strong men with the eight virtues of knights. They will never be biased against others because of personal selfishness and sectarian views.
The Holy Grail Knight will treat every human being equally and fairly.
Except serfs.
"This is a palace invitation personally signed by His Majesty Ryan. Please accept it, lady's champion. This is what the lady means. On behalf of Batoria, I welcome you."
Jules took out a scroll with the seals of the Lake God Witch and the King of Knights engraved on it.
Batoria officially invited Anton to join the Knight Kingdom and become a lord noble.
"Thank you..." Anton's hands were shaking a little. Accepting this invitation officially meant that he would be promoted from the second son of a duke with no inheritance rights to a great noble.
After several years of fighting and the accumulation of countless reputations, he finally got this result. His emotions couldn't help but fluctuate and he felt deeply.
In this world, the pace of advancement is so difficult and the ladder of promotion is so narrow.
Anton could feel the envious and adoring gazes of the Batorian knights-errant. They were jealous that they had been favored by the Fairy of the Lake. They admired that they had become the Knights of the Holy Grail at such a young age and had their own territory.
It is mediocre not to be envied by others. Anton just smiled lightly at this.
At the same time, there was also the comfort from his father, Duke Otto, which made Anton feel warm in his heart.
Sure enough, before the evening banquet even started, many knights who did not know that Anton was the second son of Duke Otto had already taken the initiative to challenge Anton.
"Hello Mr. Anton, I am Anatole from Belian! I would like to learn Mr. Anton's riding skills!"
"I am Clayman from Montverde. I hope to have a fair duel with Mr. Anton!"
"Taubert of Angoulême..."
"I am Gaspard, son of Maurice..."
Countless knights-errant pestered Anton crazily, making him extremely annoyed.

Every noble boy of Breatoria begins the path of knighthood while still in his mother's arms. Their blood automatically leads them to this path.
But blood is only the key to the path, and the boys must further prove their loyalty, courage and virtue.
Although there are various ways to gain prestige and status for them on this road, the young knights are dedicated to the road of battle to show their identity as knights. When they reach adulthood, they will be named rangers immediately.
knight.
According to Ryan, these knights errant are still in their second stage, that is, they are brave, courageous, and young and energetic.
In order to prove their strength to the Fairy of the Lake, these young knights are full of blood and dream of showing off their skills in battle and gaining the fame and glory they long for.
Anton's balls hurt so much that he didn't want to waste time on these knights. The strongest of these knights-errant were only at the middle level, and there were even a few young guys who were only at the ordinary level.
Seeing them struggling to put on plate armor and holding swords and shields, Anton thought to himself that you should ensure that you can use weapons freely.
He calmly refused to respond, because the Knight of the Lady of the Lake was supposed to be cold and inhumane.
His behavior instead aroused the enthusiasm of the knights errant, and they chattered around Anton. The young knights all hoped to challenge him, defeat him, and win his glory and reputation.
There were even many knights errant yelling that Anton would give up if he didn't duel.
Anton still ignored this. It would be troublesome if he did. These people were obviously just here to gain popularity.
Just when Anton wanted to slip out of the crowd, two people blocked his way.
This looks like a brother and sister, because they look very similar, both have blond hair and sea-blue eyes. The man is tall and handsome, about the same height as Anton, but there is a thick coldness on his face, almost so cold.
The severe cold that cannot be broken.
However, the woman has an almost perfect and exquisite face. Her long golden hair is slightly rolled up at the ends and fixed by a black hairband. The special Mithril Knight plate armor on her body looks tailor-made.
What looks a little different from her brother is that this female knight has a temperament as gentle as water. It is hard to imagine that there would be such a huge difference between brother and sister.
But they have the same coat of arms. In the blue and white shield pattern, a pure white Pegasus is soaring. This is the "Pure White Horse" coat of arms of the Aintree family of the Duke of Winford. This family is the knight Bartow.
One of the three most noble families in the Kingdom of Leah.
