After the simple conversation between the emperor and the courtiers, it was time for canonization.

Saab no longer had the joy he had when he had just woken up.

He now regarded yesterday's experience on the battlefield and his current experience as a dream.

Even from the moment General Sword crossed his shoulder, his fate was twisted by something in the slightest.

It's like a star that has been changed its orbit.

He didn't know how to explain all this, and he was at a loss for a moment about the change in his identity.

So he had to put on a straight face, like the angels in those stone statues.

Since this is a great miracle, it is just a matter of carrying it out to the end.

The monks put precious fresh water in jars and poured it on his hair.

The water soon condensed into ice crystals that covered his body.

And the monks proclaim that this is a great miracle.

God wanted to give victory to the empire, so he sent a messenger to the empire.

Someone put it in his ear and whispered to him not to tremble, and someone would change his clothes after the ceremony.

Someone else whispered in his ear that it was time to declare loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor.

That is, he knelt on the ground, gave his hand to the emperor's hand, shook his hand, and then made the emperor touch his hair and call him "the messenger sent from heaven", the practical embodiment of Sardinia's will, and the guardian of His Majesty the Emperor, the most loyal "adopted son".

Of course, this is not to say that he has the right to inherit the empire, but because His Majesty the Emperor is young and childless, he ordered this young man to be adopted as the adopted son of the empire, and he is a holy person, which is equivalent to the "sight" of prosperity for the imperial family.

The great nobles sat behind the scenes, like Sword and General Nonnor, who were the spokesmen of those in power in the empire, who were responsible for organizing and observing this type of activity.

The middle nobles were on the same side as Sabo, who were the performers of the sacred ritual and the actors.

And standing under the stage, watching from a distance, are those low-ranking nobles and commoners.

They reverently looked at the sacred scene in front of them, and some even shed tears of excitement and chanted Sardinia's real name.

Saab was once one of them, but now he was standing on the stage, at the mercy of the little boy in front of him.

Even if this child is the actor in this scene, he is also the driving force behind the scenes and the audience under the stage.

All of this came for his interest.

He's still young, but he's growing.

When he reaches a certain age, he will eventually become the most powerful emperor on the continent.

His hands will hold up the world, harmonize the notes of all the nobles, and finally play a chapter of his own.

Thinking of this, Sabo prostrate on the ground like a marionette and hung his head.

But he wasn't trying to hide his tears.

Unlike in the past, there was not a trace of emotion on his face.

Ice water was applied to his face, and every inch of his nerves felt like a burning pain.

But he didn't say anything.

Because he knows that he is not so much the master of today's ceremony as the starring role in today's farce.

When the curtain came down, he was given the title of earl, but he had not yet been given a suitable piece of land.

He eventually became one of the high nobles of the Empire, but he lost his friends, past identity, and even his own name.

At the end of the ceremony, a bishop suddenly interjected.

"Since the knight is the true god of heaven and the messenger of Sadinia, why don't you restore your original name?"

These names are well documented.

So, from now on, there was one less knight named Sabo, the farmer's son, and one more living angel named "Vedia", a brother of the Imperial Rainbow Knights.

Even the victory he commanded was considered "before the restoration of divinity" and was forever left in the past.

Vidia, with his experience, is a fitting ancient hero.

He is a god of war and was born on the snow.

In the distance, a young man, riding a gray and white horse, had just stepped half a step into the frozen swamp and sneezed fiercely.

He said to himself with some doubts:

"It's strange that I've never been sick in the winter. ”

As if hearing the boy's complaints, the knight in front of him looked back at his squire.

It's just that when his gaze swept over the young man's cheek, he actually felt a moment of strangeness in his heart.

The boy was still the same boy, he was handsome, with a pair of blue eyes hanging on the bridge of his high nose, which reminded people of the clear sky on the snowfield, and when the boy's eyebrows were slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth were curled up, it was as if another sun had risen in the sky.

The knight shook his head and muttered under his breath.

"It's old, it's so old, I can't even recognize my son when he grows up......"

At this moment, a small army suddenly appeared in the swamp in front of them.

They were hidden in the middle of a lowland, so much so that José and his son Vidia did not immediately observe them at the edge of the swamp.

As the march route progressed deeper into the swamps, the caravans' carriages were no longer passable, and they had to follow the "great road" that had been trodden by the previous army.

And Jose and his son, who had a general direction, chose to follow the path directly to the pace of the regular army of the Empire.

They brought food and water for five days, thinking that they would be looking for a long time, but they had just broken up with the caravan and encountered the organization of the empire.

There were only a dozen or so people in this team, and although they were all wearing the armor of the Imperial Legion, they looked a little out of spirit, at least when they saw two cavalrymen appear in front of them, their first reaction was to be startled.

After seeing the object in front of him clearly, he slowly calmed down and made a posture of negotiating with him.

"Where did you come from, and why didn't you follow the Emperor's army?"

Vedia was about to answer for her father, but was stopped by a look from José.

"I am an urban nobleman from Valuno, and I am now volunteering to serve in the Emperor's army. ”

"Volunteers? Everyone said they were volunteers, but they all went to the emperor's wallet to collect debts. ”

Among the infantry, there seemed to be a captain in charge, who spoke fluent in the Abbasquian dialect, and he looked up and pricked up his nostrils as he spoke.

"Okay, debt collector, how many soldiers have you brought here, it won't be just the two of you, right?"

"Sergeant Major, I'm a knight, and behind me are my squires. There were only two of us. ”

Several of the soldiers immediately burst out laughing, and they looked at the knight in front of them with pity.

"Two people?"

"Head, I'm afraid he's out of oil. ”

And the sergeant major in front of them was unmoved.

He slapped the soldier hard, and then deliberately raised his voice and shouted: "What do you think we are doing? I told you to collect taxes for His Majesty the Emperor, who told you to only care about yourself?"

Looking at the soldier with a fierce face, Vedia touched the package on his horse's back a little dazedly, which only contained some necessary food and water, but in the eyes of the soldier, this was a sign of weakness.

"Just say you! Take out the package in your hand and take it out! What is not yours, you can't keep it. You two are on horseback, and we brothers can't catch up with you, but we offend us, hey. ”

The military leader who spoke showed a hideous smile, as if he could bluff the Knight Jose and Vidia in front of him with this.

Knight Jose frowned.

Of course, he knew that there was nothing in his package, but if he allowed the soldiers to go through their belongings at this moment, even if he told them that they had no goods on them, the soldiers would inevitably gain an inch.

So he simply put the package away.

"What do you do? Can you explain to me what it means to collect taxes for the emperor, but there is a certificate of the empire?"

Knight José's question was difficult for the soldiers.

They all looked at the military leader, as if to tell their head to make an idea for himself now.

And the face of the military leader showed a little embarrassment.

Their actions did not receive any "emperor's approval" at all, but a few petty officers wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, so they were ordered to hold the rear of the swamp and collect money in the name of maintaining supply lines.

If someone really investigates it, there is only the matter of asking these little people to carry the bag, what "proof" will there be?

"Proof?!"

The military leader's eyes rolled several times in a row, and he immediately showed a look of chagrin like a sudden realization.

"You reminded me that I will leave the certificate on the road, what can I do? In this case, you go over first, and when we find the proof, when His Majesty the Emperor returns to the court, we will settle this account again, what do you think?"

Murder and extermination?

After laughing, it was a knight, even if they were little knights in the countryside, they civilians were not qualified to kill them, at most they were just scaring and scaring them and making some extra money.

And now, this soldier has already found himself pretending to be a "person who understands", and in the face of such a nobleman, the best way to protect himself is to pretend to be crazy and stupid.

The soldiers had already discovered the message of "slipping away" from the gesture behind the head of the soldier, and their hearts had just relaxed, ready to find an opportunity to leave this place of right and wrong, but they didn't expect the knight in front of them to stubbornly shake his head.

The sound of the tin head is always buzzing.

"I still don't think it's a good fit. For example, you served the emperor without a certificate. Then I don't think you're like a tax collector, you're like a bunch of deserters. ”

The knight's words frightened the soldiers, and their faces changed.

You must know that "desertion" is always an extremely undignified thing in any era and under any circumstances, and in the Great Prus Empire, the law against deserters is much simpler.

There is only one death.

The first person to react was the head of the soldier just now, he was the first to calm down, smiled reluctantly, and said: "I'm afraid this lord didn't make a mistake, we are really tax collectors sent by the adults of the imperial military......"

"Is it a tax collector, when I have taken you to the commanders of the army, I will know that I want you to come with me. ”

The knight of José was a little unforgiving, and Vidia, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but take off the bow and arrow behind him.

Several images flashed quickly in the leader's mind and in front of him, but finally stopped at the bow and arrow in Vidia's hand.

Of course, being treated by the army is a dead end, and those officers who are excluded from doing dirty work do not have any "grace" in this kind of thing, if he is caught back by the knight in front of him, don't say that he is guaranteed to come out, and it is right not to kick him twice.

But the guilt of attacking the Imperial Knights is something he can't afford to play.

And Vidia's open bow reminded him of something new.

The Imperial army can't take the initiative to attack the nobles, but it doesn't say that they can't protect themselves, as long as they can make sure that the half-eldest behind this knight makes the first move, they are not considered to be violating the laws of the Empire.

In addition, it is not certain whether these nobles can escape from this area, as long as they deal with it in time, maybe no one will know how these nobles died.

Thinking of this, the military leader stepped forward again and said in a rough voice:

"Knight, do you have to stop us from doing our official duties? My brothers are a dozen, and you will not do you any good if you provoke us!"

Knight José's reply was to draw a knight's sword from his waist.

Compared with the cavalry spear, the knight Jose was originally better at melee combat, and the knight's gun was carried by a somewhat unresponsive squire......

After the negotiation broke down, the commander quickly retreated around his soldiers, raised his sword and ordered them to charge.

The legion of the Great Prus is of course different from the barbarians, this is also where the self-confidence of the army leader lies, his more than a dozen soldier brothers have seen the power of the cavalry, and naturally know their shortcomings, as long as the soldiers can maintain their morale in front of the knight without collapsing and forming a death formation, the knight has nothing to do.

As a member of the Abbasquia Infantry Regiment, which had been training since the fall, the concept of queues such as knots had long been engraved in their bones.

And in the eyes of the military leader, there is naturally no half-sized man with a bow and arrow, only the Xuanjia knight in front of him.

After all, they had only been drilled against cavalry, but none of them had really spared a single life in the charge of the heavily armored cavalry.

The head of the army is more expecting that after forming a military formation, he can make this knight retreat in difficulty, rather than really fighting him.
