As she walked into the vicinity of the hall, Vidia smelled a strong smell of tree sap, which even drowned out the stench of sweat from the passing soldiers.

Just the entrance of the hall was already crowded with ordinary soldiers who had come to report for duty, and there were several officers who looked like people who were working hard to make a roster for them.

Although many of these soldiers will eventually be assigned to their lord's team, the Imperial military, especially General Nonno, known as the "Southern Bulldog", has been carrying out the orders to reorganize the troops.

If it weren't for the efforts of such an unkind general, perhaps the empire's legions would have collapsed into "knightly detachments" one after another.

However, Vidia only had time to glance at the soldiers who were compiling the roster, and then followed the José knight out of the main entrance area.

As an Imperial Knight, José certainly wasn't reduced to standing in line with the civilian soldiers.

In fact, when he ordered Vidia to take out his banner, the commander of the army was stunned for a moment, and then immediately ordered several knights in line before the knights of José to make way for him, and the knights of José were registered first.

It was the banner of the Red Lion Expeditionary Knights.

The officer looked at José with admiration, and finally came out with a few words.

"Horseman, knight, did you really participate in the Empire's southern expedition? You may not know, but I grew up listening to your deeds since I was a child......

The face of the knight Jose after taking off the mask, although it can be regarded as full of vicissitudes, is far from the era of the knights of the southern expedition in the current military camp.

That is a legend two dynasties ago, if it is in some mysterious and ancient Eastern country, such as the knight of Jose, it is called the "elder of the three dynasties", but in any case, the knight of Jose himself is less than forty years old, and for people who have been exercising for a long time, they always look younger than their actual age.

It was obviously a topic that made him feel a little embarrassed in front of his son.

The Knight of José was only twenty-three years old when he returned from his crusade to the south, and many of them had just joined the army at this age, and many could not even believe what had happened to him.

He had only joined the army during the second expedition of the Abbasquian king, not the patriarch who had followed him all the way.

However, in the eyes of these "juniors", it is similar.

José kept a relatively indifferent look as much as he could, glanced at the young officer in front of him who seemed to be a magpie and called endlessly, and said: "Knight José, from Valuno, this is my squire, a noble young man from the Northlands, about the same age as when you heard the story, oh, by the way, his name is 'Vidia Bengel'. ”

After hearing this, the officer's recorder's hand somehow pulled out a little unnaturally.

"Are you sure it's Vidia, my lord?"

Instead, the knight was stunned by the officer's questioning.

Vidia is a character recorded in the Ancient Book of Sardinia, and this book was the first source of information for most intellectuals in the empire to learn to write, and it is reasonable that they would not be unaware of the names of these three words.

"Yes, clerk, his name is Vedia, is there anything wrong with that?"

The officer quickly glanced around, but fortunately, the knights around saw that it was an honorable imperial knight who was in front of them, and they all lost their temper, but just lined up respectfully, hiding behind and whispering, and for a while, no third person noticed the conversation between them.

So he smiled flatteringly.

"Your Excellency...... You may have just started in the barracks and don't know a little bit about what's going on lately...... Oh, of course I don't mean that you don't know the military structure of the Empire, but you're a party to the current system...... I mean, something has happened to the Empire's military lately, and a lot of nobles called 'Vedia' have changed their names. ”

The officer said as he carefully observed the expression on the face of the knight José, for fear that a sentence would provoke the veteran knight in front of him.

But to his relief, he was a little glad and a little disappointed. There was hardly any change in expression on Knight José's face, he looked at himself quietly like a solidified marble, and only after he had finished saying this sentence did he ask quite calmly.

"They've all changed their names? why?"

"His Majesty the Emperor has recently canonized a nobleman, who is said to be a blessed angel who descended from the gardens of Sardinia to earth to win the next war of the Empire...... And the title of this nobleman is 'Paladin Vidia'. This is said to bring victory to the Empire. ”

The marble cheeks of the José knight crumbled at this moment.

He almost laughed uncontrollably, but fortunately, at the last moment, he tensed the nerves on his face so that he did not lose face in front of a junior.

"A name can bring victory in a war? Come to the front, this officer may have something to ask for your opinion. ”

Vedia, who was standing outside the door, heard the call of Knight Jose and immediately stepped in from the waiting compartment.

But he didn't want him to let Fang Fang enter the door, and he had become the focus of everyone's eyes.

He glanced around suspiciously, and looked at the people around him out of the corner of his eye, and found that the gaze they cast at him was more of a kind of schadenfreude than real curiosity.

And this made him even more confused.

He raised his voice as if he were a little weak.

"Knight, what are you calling me for?"

Knight Jose continued to hold back a smile and introduced to the officer in front of him: "Look, this is my squire, the quasi-knight of Vidia, his apprenticeship status is my old superior, General Marcus personally sealed and protected, if it weren't for his own one, he would have been an apprentice knight in the Rainbow Knights by now." ”

The officer didn't expect that a simple squire could have such a lot of energy, so he stretched out his hand to him almost subconsciously, and said as if he was entertaining: "Fortunately, I will be fortunate to be ......."

Knight José looked at Vidia, who was full of doubts, and continued: "This lord in front of you may have something to ask for your opinion! He wants to ask me to persuade you to change your name, and I will hand you over now for this matter. ”

Vidia's face was even more puzzled, but the officer remembered what he had thought, and quickly lowered his voice, whispered and quickly repeated what he had said to the Knight José, and then added one sentence at the end.

"It's not that I'm rude, two adults, there were a lot of knights with the same name before, or I was specifically asked to change my name again, that would not only increase our copywriting work, but also pay a lot of money from the formalities, I hope you have to think about it." ”

Knight Jose glanced at Vidia with that schadenfrequencing look, as if he was laughing at him.

"Look at your embarrassed look, it's so troublesome to even choose a name. ”

Vidia, on the other hand, also had an extremely absurd mood in her heart.

Unlike the José Knights' disdain for the idea that a name wins the war, this is the one on Vidia's mind.

"Lord Scrivener, why do I have to change my name like the legendary count, is there any need for this?"

The question grabbed the officer's throat a bit, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer it.

Of course, having a name with the earl canonized by the emperor does not mean that it is a crime, on the contrary, it is very likely that there will be some topics to find because of a common name, and the line of the earl will be taken, and at the worst it may be possible to get a piece of the farm under his recommendation.

So why are so many people still changing their names?

Maybe they are not confident enough, or they lack a vision for their future, or maybe they are shy away from the identity of the saint "Vidia", and they wish to be further away from it.

This made the officer have to widen his eyes and look at the young man in front of him.

This is a boy who is a little too much for a military man to be pretty.

If the knight of José has a heroic charm in his body, then this boy's face is a stunner that can make even the most beautiful women jealous.

If it weren't for the special status of the Knight Jose, the boy's own status as being personally recommended by the "Famous General of the Southern Expedition", he would even have to doubt the purpose of the Knight José appointing him as his squire.

After all, in this crazy era, there are also quite a few knights who like pretty boys......

However, as an officer who "reads countless men", he did not just stop at the point that "he is a beautiful boy", and there were more extended observations. ”

From the military etiquette just now, to the appearance and posture of this person's walking, Vidia gave him a wonderful feeling, as if what was standing in front of him was not a child, but a man with an absolutely mature mind.

Eventually, the officer, who had been thinking twice, recorded such a passage on the roster under Vedia's calm gaze.

Knight: José Squire: Vidia Bengel from Valuno.

"You're right, it's not a big deal to share that adult's name, and maybe that adult will feel kind to you. ”

With the greatest courage, the officer loudly said this thought in his heart.

This is more or less a form of solidarity with Vidia.

"Lord Knight, how many troops have you brought here? According to your identity, it has long been ordered in the imperial system that your imperial knighthood can lead a force of about 100 people, and I can give you a document to complete your troops. ”

The officer's words couldn't help but make the knights waiting in the small hall a little envious.

It is also a knighthood, but different knights can enjoy different treatments.

In a rich farm, there are about thirty warriors, and in a poor farm, the number is reduced to ten.

Most of these knights, who are still registered in the hall, come with such an "opportunistic" concept.

All they could inherit in their homeland was a poor farm, and the size of their attendants was limited to about ten people.

Those knights who were wealthy enough in their territory either didn't join the expedition at all, or they had already joined the expedition early.

That's why war is a feast for the poor.

Only those of them who are half-rods will be slow to make up their minds.

However, now the rules of the empire to collect stragglers are very strict, even if they bring peasant soldiers from their own estates, most of them will be integrated into the empire's legions, and in this way, after the war is over, these farmers will be able to find their masters, and then return to the manor, most of them will be placed in one place casually.

And for these knights, if they can't collect enough exploits, or booty, their farms will have to lose a dozen laborers for nothing.

But the knights of Jose, who had military power, were different. Not only can he get out of the war more easily, but he can even bring these soldiers who are "under his command" to his own territory for construction, and these 100 soldiers alone are a huge asset.

The thought that the knights in front of them were about to take the farmers they had recruited from their territories to make a career on the battlefield, and these knights felt a sour feeling in their hearts.

It's as if their wives are cheating on them in front of themselves.

But what really surprised them was that when the officer asked this question, Knight José was quite embarrassed to touch his nose, looked sideways at Vidia beside him, and said.

"I don't think it's so troublesome, my territory is not rich, so I just brought such an attendant and arranged the two of us in the cavalry unit. ”

The smile on the officer's face froze.

"Even so, according to our rules, you can still ...... It doesn't matter how many troops you lead. ”

"Put my soldiers in the command of more suitable people, and they will be of greater use on the battlefield. I'm just a veteran, and I'm not short of money, let alone honor. ”

Knight Jose's words were categorical, but at this moment, they were filled with the decisive atmosphere of the old knights, which was simply unquestionable.

The officer sat stunned for a moment before he put the token symbolizing military power back into the drawer.

A brand like this, he himself has nothing superfluous, keep it and hand it over to his chief, or send it to a favor, which is naturally beneficial to him.

All the knights were impressed by what José Knight said.

They stood on either side of the road with blushing faces, and opened a way for the knight to dodge out.

Everyone
