Chapter 179 The Distant Knight

As weapons and equipment arrived, the militia, who had been trained for a period of time, quickly changed their equipment and became regular soldiers.

At least from the outside, there was no difference.

A group of downtrodden descendants of noble knights, plus some criminal nobles, were stuffed into the newly formed army.

Then, encouraged by carrots and sticks, they boarded the ship to the New World Gardner.

Viscount Chavez also obtained some new resources of his own, but he was further deprived of power in the affairs of the New World.

After proving that the New World had enough benefits, the great nobles personally stepped in and increased the development efforts.

As for the earliest pioneers, the Chavez family, you can leave after being rewarded with a little benefit.

It is customary for the upper nobles to exploit the lower nobles.

Most of the time, the lower nobles are powerless to resist and can only accept it.

But Viscount Chavez turned around and directly became a guide.

Derek also left Swan Castle, even though his child had just turned one month old and the winter solstice had quietly arrived.

But this matter is very important, and he had to step in personally.

The prosperity of commerce has brought many changes to the North.

This includes the official roads along the way. Nobles and government officials from all over the country actively repaired the roads, and the Leopold family also invested a lot of money in this regard.

This time, Derek walked on the road built by his family.

A week earlier than the last time he visited Degen Port, he finally saw the more magnificent Degen Port.

After several expansions, the entire port has become very large.

There are constant convoys entering and leaving the port, and there are constant ships docking.

Geopolitical stability and more prosperous maritime trade.

The two complement each other. If you can make money, everyone is unwilling to fight and destroy the already stable environment.

Of course, the most important thing is that you still can't beat the Northland Knights, so it's better to collect money steadily.

Derek was very low-key this time, and almost no one knew about it.

Degen Port has always had a part of an independent port area that is prohibited for outsiders to approach, and even the import and export of ships are independent.

Every day, patrol ships patrol day and night to prevent other ships from entering by mistake.

So Derek plunged in and blocked all the news.

If there were people who knew the business here, they would definitely be surprised by the size of the fleet in this secret port.

As the craftsmen of shipbuilding became more and more sophisticated, a large number of three-masted sailing ships were launched in batches.

Although the planks need to be dried for a few years to be the best, they can still be used after drying.

It's nothing more than sacrificing performance and durability. Compared with the fast launching speed, everything is worth it.

From the beginning, the three-masted sailing ship could only carry a hundred people, but now it can carry 500 people, even including a large number of baggage supplies.

This time, more than 20 three-masted sailing ships were dispatched, not only to transport soldiers, but also special transport ships specially modified to transport war horses and weapons.

Moreover, it is difficult for southern nobles to find suitable soldiers and officers, but Derek can easily pull out a group.

The reason is simple. Derek has a large number of knights from civilians or even serfs.

As long as you are loyal enough, obey orders, and train hard, there will be a day when you become a knight.

Because there are too many people, a large number of knights with qualified strength can only serve as attendants.

Although the Leopold family is an emerging military group, the upper positions are still limited.

It is too difficult to climb out from the bottom.

In addition, perfect training not only brings a strong system and command experience, but also opens up wisdom.

The knights are unwilling to be unknown for a lifetime, and they are more adventurous.

At this time, going to the New World is a good choice.

They believe in Duke Leopold and believe that under the banner of the two-headed dragon, they can win their own glory and land.

The knights drawn from all over the country have arrived one after another. They are lightly equipped, and everything else is provided by His Excellency the Duke.

Derek held a small-scale symposium overnight.

There are hundreds of knights who have obtained the title of knight, and more who serve as attendants and heavy cavalry are not eligible to participate at all.

Derek deliberately put on a knight's uniform and wore a knight's sword around his waist.

Unlike the early knights, everyone at that time grew up under Derek's eyes.

This group of knights, at most, has met, and has never communicated one by one.

Derek does not have the energy and time, so he can only cheer them up on this occasion.

"Everyone, you are all my best knights, warriors who have won the honor of knighthood after layers of selection from countless competitors."

As soon as he spoke, all the knights sat up straight consciously. This was the most glorious moment of their lives.

"I believe in you, just as you believe in me.

My friend, Viscount Chavez, told me a piece of news.

Overseas, there are large tracts of unowned land, where only the black slaves you have seen live and multiply, and a large amount of fertile land, gold and silver mines and natural resources are unoccupied.

And some nobles have already started the colonization of the New World one step ahead.

We, the knights of the North, should not be abandoned. Now...you will represent the Leopold family and go to the New World to occupy the land given by God that belongs to us.

Land, money and honor, I will not be stingy with rewards.

Now, tell me...can you defeat all competitors and plant the two-headed dragon flag all over the New World?"

"Yes!!!"

The knights were full of confidence, and their voices were full of confidence.

They were calm enough and confident enough.

Looking at the world, the Knights of the North are first-rate.

Among the Knights of the North, Leopold is unique.

This is the confidence honed by countless trainings and countless blood baptisms.

In invisible places, the fights between knights have never stopped.

Provocation, determination, fighting.

Fights under various reasons and circumstances are staged every day.

And the knights of the Leopold family have built their confidence by winning again and again.

So, they look at everyone as a weakling and are confident in fighting anyone.

Competition? ? Leopold's knights are never afraid of competition, but they are afraid of not having the opportunity to compete.

New World, everyone can see how big an opportunity this is.

Derek struck while the iron was hot and promised: "Don't worry, the supplies from Leopold will not be cut off. I will set up supply points along the way, and a large number of ships will bring my attention.

Armor, weapons, war horses and medicines will never be in short supply."

Derek has this confidence to make a guarantee, and strong strength is the confidence.

Next, Viscount Chavez's people came up to talk about the situation in the New World and the survival experience.

For several days, they spent their time giving lectures, bombing, and allocating supplies.

Finally, two newly launched sailing ships arrived and new sailors were assigned to board.

Derek boarded the ship in person, and this time the sailing ship was obviously different.
