Chapter 666 The serf turns over and becomes the master
"The first person to receive the title of knight is Sir Bertrand, the commander of the old guard from the Chalon Forest!" Ryan said grandly: "Green Arrow Bertrand was originally a member of the Bergerac Band of Thieves in the Chalon Forest.
Commander, after I issued the "Germany Decree", I abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side, formed an infantry battalion, and the Chalon Forest Patrol Company won consecutive battles.
He has made outstanding achievements and made many military exploits. In the second battle of La-Messnel Monastery, he severely wounded the undead wizard Heinrich Kemmler with a magical arrow, founded the Old Guard, and shot the unbelievers again in the Battle of Noor.
Say, Bertrand's first contributor to the establishment of the Old Guard, hereby grants Bertrand the title of knight in the Kingdom and the fiefdom of Grand Village!"
"Yes!" Bertrand couldn't suppress his excitement. The Green Arrow, who was in his early forties, was even a little unsteady on his feet. He walked quickly onto the high platform and opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
.
From today on, he is also a knight of the kingdom with a fiefdom! He is a true noble!
"Boom!" The whole scene was boiling, like a ladle of water suddenly poured into a hot oil pan. The serfs cheered and shouted, so excited that they could not control themselves.
Old Guardsmen can get knighthoods!
We finally have hope and can become real nobles!
The title sealing was not over yet, Ryan clapped his hands, and a Holy Grail knight opened the exquisite iron box, which contained a neat set of knight's attire and the badge of the Britannia knight that symbolized status.
The eyes of thousands of people were all focused on the knight's uniform and knight's badge.
"Bertrand, congratulations." Sulia smiled, holding the tray in both hands, and stepped forward. She let Bertrand take the tray, and then put the Kingdom Knight badge on him with her own hands: "I hope you will not disappoint our expectations.
.”
"I, Bertrand, swear with my life and soul, under the witness of the Lady of the Lake and King Tarr, that I will serve His Excellency the Duke and Madame Sulia with death in this life!" Bertrand knelt down heavily, he was so excited that
Tears filled my eyes.
This was not a separate investiture ceremony. Sulia gave Bertrand a few words of encouragement and signaled him to go down. The commander of the old Guards proudly puffed out his chest and strode off the high platform.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Ryan, and the passion and desire in his eyes spread throughout the venue.
"The second person to win the title of knight is Amedee from the town of Jean!" Ryan read out the second name loudly: "Amedee, when I first arrived in Jean, I actively joined the army. Yaden
In the chivalry war in the forest, he fought hard for several times, killed several big horned beasts, and gained numerous military exploits. In the following ten years, he was an active figure in several battles. He promoted the power of our army and made great achievements. He is hereby awarded
The title of knight errant for encouragement!"
"Yes!" The eyes of an old guard who had experienced hundreds of battles were filled with tears. He had decided to join the army since the first battle when Ryan came to Britannia. In the past fifteen years, he has gone from
A teenage boy turned into a man in his thirties. Recalling the past years, Amedei only felt mixed emotions. The old guard quickly walked up to the high platform and took the hand from Sulia.
He wore the knight's uniform, and Ryan's head maid Sylvia put on the knight errant badge for him.
"The third person to receive the knighthood is Denis from the Principality of Bastogne!" Ryan awarded the third knighthood to Denis, an old guard with many military exploits: "Deni, formerly Bastogne
The Orion of Toni, in the chivalry war in the Arden Forest, at a critical moment
Providing important information saved the outcome of the entire war. From then on, whether as Sergeant Denis, Captain Denis of the Longbow Battalion, or later as the old guard Denis, they all performed outstandingly in the war.
In response to popular expectations, I hereby confer the title of Knight Errant as a token of encouragement!"
"Yes!" The Orion who provided weather information in the Arden Forest is now a thirty-year-old soldier. He took a deep breath, quickly walked up to the tower, and knelt in front of Ryan and Sulia.
: "My Duke, Mrs. Surya, Denis will use his life to repay your trust in me!"
"I'm looking forward to it." Sulia said with a smile.
Another Old Guard became a knight.
Just like this, one after another the old guards came to the stage to receive their knight's uniform and knight's badge. Ryan read loudly about their military industry and glorious deeds. The warm winter sun shone on the shining emblem with the emblem of Brittany.
Lion and golden iris pattern
The knight's badge was colorful and dazzling. The old guard who had received the knight's badge couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch his knight's badge. Under the reflection of the sun, there was a strong beam of light, which was so bright that it was blinding.
Open your eyes.
The onlookers cast their eyes on the stage. They admired, admired, envied, and were jealous. All kinds of complex emotions surged and lit up in the hearts of the honorees and bystanders. Many people could not help but swallow their saliva. Many free people could not help but swallow their saliva.
Their hearts have long been swallowed up by envy, jealousy, and hatred. Many of them even secretly regretted why they did not join the army and why they missed such a precious opportunity!
In the history of Britannia, before the "Knight Promotion Order" and the conferment of honors by the Old Guard, only five people of serf origin received the title of knight!
The discussions, noises and movements of the crowd were like huge waves formed by a tsunami, rolling and roaring in front of the Duke's Castle. The waves of emotions were swallowing up their hearts. What a glorious moment, it seemed that at this moment
, the gold coins in the merchant's pockets, the grain, meat, eggs, and milk in the rich peasant's granary, and the exquisite dwarf tools in the hands of the craftsmen all lost their luster in front of the knight's badge.
Duke Bohemond of Bastogne was sitting on one side of the high platform. Seeing how solemn and grand the investiture ceremony was, he felt a little envious and a little displeased: "Really, there really is him, Ryan.
His tone actually made so many idiots knights."
Francois, Duke of Winford, was sitting next to Berhemond. Hearing the complaints from the most orthodox successor of Arthur, the first knight king, Francois smiled: "Times have changed, and the rules are always the same.
Things have to change. It has been thousands of years since the country was founded, and many rules have become rotten and rigid. Ryan has injected fresh blood into himself, us, and the entire kingdom. The serfs have worked hard and fought to the death. We must give them some promotions.
hope."
"Otherwise, one day, if we don't change, they will change." Francois finally said with profound meaning: "Therefore, instead of waiting for them to react, we should make concessions first. In this case,
Serfs can only be grateful."
"You always have great truths to tell me, Francois." Bohemond sighed softly: "Maybe you are right, I'm just not used to it. By the way, you imitated Ryan's
The Old Guard formed the Unicorn Guard?"
"That's right." Francois looked at the grand investiture ceremony, and the Old Guardsmen who came on stage to receive the knight's badge one by one, laughed: "In two or three years, I will also do it according to Ryan's method.
"
"You are always like this. You just need to keep an eye on your son-in-law and imitate what he does." Bohemond continued to complain: "It's such a trouble-free and easy way. Why don't I have a good one like this?"
son in law."
"You can also imitate." Francois advised: "You don't have an elite army under your command, the Beast Butcher Battalion of Bastogne, you can also use them as the basis and backbone to form an army of your own.
An elite infantry regiment, don't we just have a few knighthoods, and we should give them more generously. The serfs have hope of promotion, why don't they fight to the death?"
"Hmm~" Bohemond's eyes lit up after hearing this. He nodded and quickly whispered in his ear: "Then what should we do specifically, Francois, you need to give me more guidance."
"no problem."
The investiture ceremony did not last that long. Thirty knighthoods were not too many. After the names were read out one by one, soon, only the last knighthood was left.
"The thirtieth person to receive the title of knight is Raymond from Lyonnaise!" Ryan's voice was still full of majesty.
And the old guard Raymond standing in the audience was stunned, with a dull look on his face: "Huh?"
"It's you! Raymond!"
"Congratulations!"
"Humph, you brat, I actually let you occupy the last spot!"
"Oh my god, it's him!"
A burst of disappointed sighs and a burst of congratulations broke out among the old guards.
"Raymond, from Leonsay, came here to protect his mother and younger brother during the famine. When he joined the army for the first time, he faced the invasion of Egil-Red Eye. In the battle of Leonsay Plains,
As an ordinary halberdier, he withstood the onslaught of the Chaos Warriors. In the battle of Blackstone Stronghold, Raymond
Single-handedly pierced a bloodthirsty ghost. In the second battle of La-Messnel Monastery, Raymond was the first to find Kemmler who was trying to retreat, and assisted Bertrand to kill the undead wizard with one arrow.
In the subsequent battles to recapture Mousilon and the Battle of Nuer, they all performed well, and are hereby awarded the title of Knight Errant as a token of encouragement!"
"Yes!!!" Raymond still had an unreal feeling. He couldn't help pinching his face, feeling like he was still living in a dream, but his long military career had made him develop an instinct to hear
At Ryan's call, he strode onto the stage, rushed in front of Ryan, and saluted with a military salute: "Me, my Duke?"
"Mr. Raymond, in this case, you should kneel down." Sylvia, the head maid, reminded firmly: "This is a medal ceremony, not a military intelligence report!"
"Ah~ ah, yes!" Raymond's mind was already in confusion. He knelt down on one knee first, then realized something seemed wrong, so he quickly changed to kneeling down on both knees, looking very embarrassed.
Sulia couldn't help but pursed her lips and snickered. She told Raymond not to be nervous, then took the tray from the Holy Grail Knight and handed it to Raymond. Then the head maid Sylvia helped him fasten the knight's badge.
I have become a knight, I have become a knight, and I am also a knight!
Raymond's brain was still in chaos, and Ryan smiled helplessly and signaled that he could go down. From a runaway slave to a knight, this is also a good story.
Seeing the end of the awarding of the last knighthood, it seemed that the investiture ceremony was about to come to an end. The entire venue was filled with feelings of unwillingness and disappointment. Although the Old Guardsmen who had received the knighthoods were ecstatic and proud, but
Those Old Guardsmen who had not received the title of knight complained slightly, and some even clenched their fists unwillingly.
"My soldiers, my soldiers!" At this time, Ryan's voice sounded again: "I have another good news to tell you."
"Today, in addition to these thirty knight titles, I have also prepared three additional knight errant titles!"
"Old Guards who have not been awarded the title of knight, if you are confident in yourself and feel that my way of handling it is unfair and dissatisfied, then you can go on stage to report your military merits! I, Ryan Macado, serve as the Duke of Mousilon
, the successor of Landuin's will, the divinely chosen champion of the Lady of the Lake will select the best one based on the military merits reported by you, and will also be awarded the title of knight!"
"Wow~" The entire Old Guard army exploded like cold water poured into a hot pot of boiling oil. Some laughed loudly, some were embarrassed, some encouraged others, and some had hair all over their heads.
Sweating, some were silent, and some turned blue.
Each of the Old Guards is an elite who has been fighting in blood and fire for several years or even more than ten years. No one has any military merit worth mentioning, but compared to the thirty Old Guards who have received the title of knight
, some people really know that they are inferior.
Some people were eager to try, but no one dared to jump on stage.
"Who dares to report military merit?" Seeing that no one came forward, Ryan smiled: "This opportunity is rare, and maybe there will be no next time!"
"If there is really no one, then I will reserve these three titles for others."
Finally, following Ryan's words, there was an old guard below whose face turned purple from holding back. He took a deep breath, made up his mind, and strode out of the team.
"My Duke, I am not included in the list of knights, and I refuse to accept it!"
