Chapter 5 Arriving at the provincial capital of Xihe Province
However, as a knight guard assigned to Master Verin by Earl Eagle, he must fulfill his responsibilities to repay the Akers family for their training.
At the edge of the training ground, Weilin looked at the 12 knights two hundred meters away, and he already understood in his heart that these were the escorts entrusted to him by his family.
Observe as you walk toward them.
These twelve people are all very young, roughly between the ages of twenty-four and twenty-eight, which shows how talented they are.
As expected, these twelve people entrusted to him by his family will be his right-hand men in the future.
As far as Verin knew, it was absolutely impossible to train a team of Bronze Knights from scratch without spending tens of thousands of gold coins. Moreover, the twelve people trained have better talents, otherwise, no matter how they are trained, they will all be a bunch of waste.
The Priest of the Goddess of Life who was standing aside saw Weilin's arrival, raised his staff, and said solemnly: "With the witness of the Goddess of Life, the oath begins."
"Draw your sword."
Baird heard this and ordered loudly.
The other eleven men drew their knight's swords, placed them on their chests, and saluted Verin with their gazes.
Seeing this, Weilin also pulled out the dagger he carried with him, put it upright on his chest, and looked at the twelve people seriously.
"I, Baird."
"I, Andrew"
"..."
"On my own honor, under the witness of the goddess of life, I swear to do my best to fight for the person in front of me, to fulfill my duties, and to abide by the spirit of chivalry. Where the sword is, it is my direction."
"I, Verin, as the object of your oath, accept your allegiance and will never leave you. Please bear witness from the goddess of life."
A divine light flashed and enveloped the thirteen people.
Invisible ties connect the fate of the twelve to Verin.
"The oath is completed, the great goddess of life will protect you." The old priest announced the end, and then went down to rest under the guidance of a steward.
Thirteen people put their swords into their scabbards at the same time, bringing this oath to an end.
From this moment on, these twelve high-level bronze knights share the same fate as Weilin. They both prosper and suffer.
"Everyone, if you choose me, I will not let you down."
Verin scanned these twelve people and memorized their faces.
Then, he went straight to the box where the weapons were stored, opened the lid, and revealed the Excellent-level knight's sword stored inside.
"As your sect master, this is my gift to you."
"In addition, each of you choose one of the red phosphorus horses here as your mount. I hope you can become my sharp sword and open up territory for me."
"Thank you, Lord." The twelve people replied in unison.
Out of sight of them, at a window of the main castle, Earl Eagle witnessed all this with his own eyes.
Angus was very pleased with what his fifth son had done.
For those who are loyal to you, you must be generous and not stingy, so that you can win over your subordinates in the shortest possible time.
On the battlefield, it is always your knight who blocks your sword.
There is no way your wife, your children or even your brother can do that for you.
This is what Angus has gradually realized over the past thirty years.
"You go down and prepare. We will set off tomorrow morning, leaving Windsor Castle and heading to the provincial capital of Xihe Province."
"I respect your instructions."
The twelve people beat their chests with their right hands, bowed their heads slightly, and said respectfully.
Watching them leave, Verin began to count the remaining things. After ensuring that they were correct, he ordered his servants to carry these things to the carriage outside the deputy castle where he lived.
Afterwards, he went to the main castle and prepared to say goodbye to his mother.
After all, this time of separation, I don’t know how long it will be before we meet again.
For example, the fourth brother who left five years ago has never come back and has been struggling in an unknown place.
If it doesn't make a sound, it's a blockbuster.
This is Weilin's evaluation of his fourth brother. His perseverance and talent really deserve this eight-word evaluation.
I kept thinking about how to say goodbye to my mother.
Before he knew it, he came to the door of the room where his mother was.
He gently opened the door and looked at his mother Alyssa sitting on the window sill, using the sunlight to weave the silk scarf in her hands.
The head maid standing next to her saw Weilin's arrival, lowered her head and whispered something.
Alyssa stopped what she was doing, raised her head, and looked at Verin.
I don’t know why, I had so many words in my mind, but I couldn’t speak them out for a while.
"Mother, I'm leaving tomorrow."
"Well, I understand. My little eagle has grown up and is about to fly high. It has its own goals. I hope you can return with glory."
"That day will come, Mother."
Verin stepped forward, hugged his mother, and said his final goodbyes.
Thousands of words are gathered into this embrace.
After an unknown amount of time, Weilin took the silk scarf his mother gave him and left her room.
Afterwards, he went to his father's study, stated the fact of leaving to him, and obtained his advice and blessing.
After saying goodbye to his parents, Verin returned to his room and asked his two underage guardian knights to pack their things and prepare to leave tomorrow.
……
On April 9720, 4 in the Glorious Calendar, at the east gate of Windsor Castle, Weilin was wearing light cloth armor, riding a tall red phosphorus horse, looking at the corner of Windsor Castle, and loudly ordered: "Let's go."
Under his order, six carriages, twelve escort knights, and two underage guardian knights formed a simple convoy, leaving Windsor Castle and heading towards the provincial capital of the West River Province.
Xihe Province is located in the southern hinterland of the Kingdom of Ilia, covering an area of 950,000 square kilometers. It has two marquis territories, three earl territories, and more than a hundred viscount and baron territories mixed in among the five noble territories. junction, acting as a buffer zone.
In order to avoid the Sahaklos Mountains in the Tiexiong Territory, Weilin decided to take a detour from the nearby mountain forest territory to avoid being intercepted by hostile forces on the road, and headed for the Xihe Province.
Although it would take more than two hundred kilometers to travel, it was still better than having his budding power wiped out by someone else.
More than ten days later, after a journey of 600 kilometers, Weilin and his party safely arrived at the provincial capital of Xihe Province. This city is under the direct jurisdiction of the royal family of the Kingdom, covering an area of 400 square kilometers, with a jurisdiction of 10,000 square kilometers, and more than 200 people living there. A large city with thousands of people.
Caressing his mount, Weilin looked up at the thirty-meter-high city wall of the provincial capital of West River Province, which was three meters higher than the tower of Windsor Castle.
In the sky, griffon knights flew by from time to time.
He remembered that the Akers family also supported a gryphon knights, with one hundred and twenty people, and each member was a silver mid-level.
In this world, from bottom to top, all professions can be broadly divided into apprenticeship, bronze, silver, gold, soul, legend, etc. As for the subsequent extraordinary levels, he does not know yet.
