The Principality of Magnolia is located in the northwest of the Eagle Kingdom, bordering the Andaya Province.
Among the several countries surrounding the Eagle Kingdom, the Magnolia Principality is considered powerful.
In addition to the two neighboring kingdoms, Eagle and Gray Castle, in terms of strength, we have to go to the Principality of Magnolia.
Especially when Archduke Roland was on the throne.
Although Grand Duke Roland is a bronze-level blood knight, his strength is definitely at the top among the bronze-level blood knights.
So much so that Zheng Dong almost died trying to kill him.
But today's Magnolia Principality is different.
After the death of Grand Duke Roland, the Magnolia Principality lost its strong man to suppress the national destiny, and instantly became the lowest among all principalities.
If it weren't for the foundation laid during the reign of Grand Duke Roland, the current Magnolia Principality would have fallen apart long ago.
But even so, the current Magnolia Principality is still on the verge of collapse.
Saurons went to the forbidden land in the hope of regaining his bloodline like his ancestors, becoming a powerful bloodline knight, and revitalizing the Magnolia Principality.
However, Zheng Dong did not intend to give him this opportunity.
Magnolia Knights Academy.
The largest knight academy in the Magnolia Principality, its status is equivalent to the Kingdom Knight Academy in the Eagle Kingdom.
Many knights in the Black Cloud Knights Legion graduated from this knight academy.
on the square.
The principal of Magnolia Knight Academy is giving a speech to the graduating students.
"...You are all the most elite knights of the Magnolia Principality. Whether you choose to be loyal to the lord or join the principality's army in the future, I hope that you..."
In the square, students stood in a dark crowd.
Wearing bright steel armor, they felt a little drowsy while listening to the principal's long speech.
"Townsend, are you going to join the Black Cloud Knights after graduation?"
A sturdy knight lightly bumped his companion named Townsend with his elbow.
Townsend was drowsy when he was woken up by his companions. He shrugged and said indifferently: "Tim, you know, I have an older brother who cannot inherit my father's title and can only join the Black Cloud Knights Corps!"
"Very good!"
Upon hearing this, Tim hugged Townsend's neck and said, "We brothers, we can fight side by side again!"
"Come on! You, a freak, have been promoted to an extraordinary knight in half a year, but I am only a senior knight now. I don't know how long it will take to become an extraordinary knight.
Even if we join the Black Cloud Knights together, I will definitely be included in the reserves, and there is no way I will be in the same knights with you."
Hearing Townsend's frustrated words, Tim patted Townsend generously on the shoulder: "It doesn't matter, I will protect you when you join the Black Cloud Knights in the future!"
"That's pretty much it!"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
When the two of them were talking quietly, the principal's speech was almost over.
"...The person next to me is the deputy commander of the Black Cloud Knights Legion. Those who are willing to join the Black Cloud Knights Legion can stay now!"
In the square, the dark crowd began to disperse.
Those who left were either heirs to the nobility or chose to be loyal to other nobles in the duchy.
Only about 30% of the people remain.
However, the Magnolia Knights Academy has more than 3,000 students in each class, and 30% of the students are more than 900 students. Even for the Black Cloud Knights, it is a lot of fresh blood.
After all, these knights are elites selected from the entire principality.
The weakest of them are all high-level knights, and more importantly, they are all very young. The oldest one is not more than twenty years old.
As long as these people are trained without hesitation, they are very likely to become first-class extraordinary knights in the future. Even those with outstanding talents may not necessarily become sky knights.
The principal nodded to the deputy commander of the Black Cloud Knights and moved out of the way.
"Everyone, I am Zhuo De, the deputy commander of the Black Cloud Knights Legion. First of all, welcome everyone to join the Black Cloud Knights Legion..."
...
The next morning.
Rugged Tim and Townsend walked side by side into the military camp of the Black Cloud Knights.
As the most powerful knight corps in the Magnolia Principality, the Black Cloud Knights Corps is stationed in the capital of the Magnolia Principality, Blackpool City.
This military camp is a massive castle structure.
Tim and Townsend passed through many levels before entering the castle.
Black Cloud Castle was built outside Blackpool City, forming an angle with Blackpool City.
Although Blackpool City does not have the magical defense tower of Andaya's Light, in terms of defensive power, it is by no means weaker than Andaya's Light.
First, Blackpool City is protected by the Black Cloud Knights.
The Black Cloud Knights Legion claims to have 100,000 knights and over 10,000 extraordinary knights.
This is a terrifyingly huge force.
Secondly, Blackpool City was originally guarded by Archduke Roland.
A bronze-level blood knight is like a sea-fixing needle to a principality.
Of course, now that Archduke Roland has died in battle, Blackpool City has lost one of its most important pillars.
If it weren't for the suppression of the Black Cloud Knights, Blackpool City would have been in chaos.
Rumble!
In front of Black Cloud Castle, a huge suspension bridge is lowered.
Tim and Townsend rode into the castle.
Enter the castle.
Townsend was led away by a knightly entourage.
He himself was taken to an independent military camp.
The Black Cloud Knights Legion has an establishment of 100,000 people. The smallest knight squad has ten people, with a squad leader, a squadron with a hundred people, a squadron leader, and a group with a thousand people, with a captain.
Further up, there are the deputy commanders of the legion of 10,000 people and the legion commander of 100,000 people.
The title of nobility has nothing to do with the position in the Knights Legion. The knights of the Black Cloud Legion can only obtain the title by making meritorious service.
In the Yulan Principality, anyone from the lowest lord to a duke can be granted a title, as long as they have made enough merit.
The Magnolia Principality was so powerful in the hands of Grand Duke Roland. In addition to his own strength, it also had a lot to do with his willingness to grant titles.
"Captain Tim, this is your team!" The knight attendant who led Tim's way pointed at the ten knights in front and said respectfully.
Hearing this, Tim glanced at the ten people in the team. They were all high-level knights.
He couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart, the Magnolia Principality was really powerful!
That’s right!
Tim is not from the Magnolia Principality.
His current name, identity, address and even appearance are all false.
The other world is not the earth, and there is no such strict population review. With the ability of the Inquisition, it is easy to arrange for people to sneak into the Magnolia Principality.
In fact, as far as he knew, he was not the only one who had sneaked into the Yulan Principality.
But no one knows each other's identities, and their tasks are different.
According to his superiors, this was to protect him and his fellow officers.
Although Tim has never done intelligence work, he knows that if he is discovered in the enemy camp, he will only die.
He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of not being able to serve God.
