Chapter 61: Historical Mission

"It's done...... Historical process?"

Lenia was a little puzzled by the words that the lord had "created", and could only roughly piece them together according to the syllables, but the further meaning was difficult to grasp.

Duke smiled, revealing the exclusive expression of the divine stick, and said softly: "Yes, the knights, as a product of the era, have completed the task of history, and can be honorably secluded behind the scenes. ”

Seeing that Lenia still had a confused expression, Duke asked, "What do you think is the mission of being a knight?"

"As the sharpest sword and strongest shield of the lord in wartime, he uses the knight's code to bind himself and assist the lord in governing the territory, which should be the model of most knights. Lenia said with some uncertainty that this was what she had been doing.

"That's pretty much it. Duke nodded, then continued, "Then why do you think the knights have these tasks, and not blacksmiths like old Neil or those who work over there?"

Saying the direction in which Duke's horsewhip was pointing, Lenia saw the farmer working in the field, the woodcutter returning from the hill to chop wood, and some peasant women and children......

"This ...... Is it because they don't understand?" Lenia struggled for a long time before she came up with a general reason.

Duke chuckled, and without embarrassment, she said directly: "If you don't understand, I'll ask you why they don't understand." In fact, the real reason is that they have no power. ”

"Strength?"

"That's right, you have great strength as a knight, and my lord also has a bit of powerful magic, and these things are generally called supernatural powers, beyond the power of these mortals. Well...... A title with a great sense of superiority. ”

Duke made a small joke and continued: "These supernatural forces determine that we are stronger than them, have more power to speak and make them obedient, so that they have to consciously or unconsciously submit to our class and become so-called pariahs.

They can't get the right to speak for themselves through their own efforts, and even if you give them the best swords and armor, you can easily defeat them with a stick. So at this time, it became a matter of course for all nobles and knights to become noble people and become exemplars. ”

Lenia nodded as if she didn't understand, and then asked inferentially: "Now that you let the anvil make this new weapon, does it make everyone have the capital to compete with extraordinary strength, so you still eliminate us and eliminate you!"

"Lenia, do you think that the existence of lords and nobles as sole rulers should be inherited forever, and apart from our supernatural strength and learning, what is the difference between us and these toilers?"

Seeing that Lenia was once again deep in thought, Duke struck the railroad while it was hot: "In the future era, everyone should be the same, there should be no lord, no nobles, and even no emperor! When everyone can have the same power, there will be no superiority or inferiority, and the existence of nobles and knights is just a transition of development." ”

Lenia's eyes widened in fright by Duke's words, and her blue eyes were full of disbelief, after all, Duke's words were still too advanced and very rebellious, if he said such things in the imperial capital, he was guaranteed to be hanged on the city gate in less than half a day.

"Did you start thinking about it when you were using the requirements of a quasi-knightly code to select soldiers from among all your lords?"

Lenia thought of something else, for Duke, as she prepared to recruit soldiers, made a special request to select those of good character, who had no record of committing adultery, and who could be selected from among all the lords, including unemancipated slaves and serfs.

At that time, she was very puzzled, because such a requirement could already be used to preliminarily select candidates for probationary knights, and even most lords preferred people with criminal records and poor peace as soldiers.

Because although such a person is a little less disciplined, he has a ruthless spirit, and he may be more handy in fighting on the battlefield.

But Duke didn't give a clear answer at the time, just told her to do it, and at the same time had to screen it again in the original army.

So far, her recruitment work has been very slow, and she has not completed the set goal of 500 people.

Duke was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment and then said with some embarrassment: "Uh...... That's pretty much it. ”

In fact, he didn't think much about it at the beginning, but he just knew that if he needed to have a well-disciplined army and was supported by the people, it was very important to ensure that the soldiers were innocent and from the people.

Because countless historical experiences and the teachings of his predecessors are in Duke's head, he fully understands what kind of army can adapt to the future era and society.

So I asked Lenia to prepare for this in advance, but I didn't expect it to happen today.

"No nobility, no ...... Emperor?" she muttered to herself, hesitantly asking, "Is it possible for such a world to exist?"

"Of course!" Duke replied with a smile, and he was a little excited about the words.

Because he is now also gradually moving forward on this road, creating and witnessing the arrival of such a great moment and era with his own hands.

"Not now, of course. Then he smiled bitterly, and spread his hands helplessly: "A new weapon can't actually change anything in essence, its biggest role now is to make our soldiers have stronger combat effectiveness, what I just said is still too far away, so now I still have to continue to be my lord, you are still the awesome chief knight." ”

Duke clearly knows that a powerful weapon cannot bring too many variables, but also to cooperate with productivity and emancipation of the mind.

Although the people of the northern fortress were forcibly instilled with basic knowledge and a certain ability to discern by him with the wind of wisdom, the idea of the aristocratic rule of lords and knights was still deeply rooted and did not change much.

He had asked Vlavich to select some people as teachers of basic grammar to carry out evening literacy in the Connaughton area, but even though he was paid very well, not many people came to sign up.

Because most people still can't accept their new identity, they are still bound by their original ideas and identities, peasants are still peasants, serfs are emancipated and still peasants, and they dare not and will not apply knowledge when they have it.

Perhaps this is the consequence of the seedlings.

Duke sighed softly in Lenia's puzzled gaze,
