Chapter 8: The Knights of the Royal Capital (Pseudo)
Avril didn't know that there was something wrong with her guard's mentality, she looked around at the knights in the school yard, except for the bearded man, the other knights were all young, the oldest was not even thirty years old, and more were seventeen or eighteen years old, all about the same age as William.
She glanced back at William's still childish face, then turned back a little reluctantly, and sighed in front of all the knights.
"Also, if you really want to go south with me, be prepared to take risks. After the fall of the royal capital, there will definitely be problems with the control of the troops by the Marquis of Giber, although the grand dukes have not come forward to oppose the royal family, but they will not necessarily send reinforcements, whether you want to go with me, you must think about it. ”
William's heart suddenly cooled, when did he still soften, this time with you, the future is completely bright.
This is equivalent to going to an interview with a start-up company, and the boss, after talking about the ambitions of the world's top 500 companies, opens up to tell you that the company's sales channel has just been pried off, and the only investor is considering divestment, and asks you if you are still willing to join the company.
Even if you think she is an honest and good person, you must not be willing to join the company, after all, everyone is an ordinary person, and you have to consider firewood, rice, oil, salt and just rice, not to mention that you still have to tie your head to your waist and sell your life to others.
Sure enough, as he expected, this time he put down almost a hundred hands, but many people who had put down their hands before raised their hands again.
Most of the people who raised their hands again were young people, their expressions were extremely excited, and their eyes flashed with inexplicable expressions. William is very familiar with this look, which is common among die-hard fans of all kinds of knightly novels, and is a symptom of patients with advanced middle and second cancer.
Avril counted it briefly and found that there were about thirty people left who were willing to go with her, of which only three were professionals, and the second-order professional was only one with a beard.
She sighed, and even thought about whether she would just run away with William, this queen should not be right, just rely on these people to help Marquis Jiber stabilize the situation, and it is difficult to say whether she can get rid of the pursuit of the rebels.
"William, the Knights of the Royal Capital will be up to you and this ...... from now on The bearded knight was in charge. In addition, the guards around me have either been scattered or run out, so don't be a guard for me anymore, and become a knight from now on. ”
[Having received the canonization of a member of the royal family, you have obtained information about the basic class, Knight]
[Meet the requirements of the occupation, successfully employed, the highest level of the current occupation LV10, the total occupational level LV16]
【Knight LV1】
[Constitution +1, Strength +1, Agility +1 per level]
[Stunt: Armor Mastery, all armor from equipment increased by 10%]
[Stunt: Glory Barrier, if the armor value completely cancels out an attack, the attacker will be knocked back]
[Combat Skill: Charge, launch a dash forward, the damage dealt by the next attack increases with the distance of the charge, and can deal up to double damage]
Suddenly opened a new career, William was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
The normal path to the knight's profession is to first join a knight order - receive training in martial arts and physical fitness - swear allegiance to XX after the training is up to the standard - become a knight after receiving the canonization.
The training of martial arts and physical fitness increases nothing more than abilities and attributes. The abilities required by the inaugural knight are riding and swordsmanship, both of which William has no problem, the entry-level riding skills are passable, and Xiaocheng's swordsmanship can even be said to be quite good.
As for the attributes, when he was forced to become a guard, he had gone through two years of hard training, and now he has been promoted to the full level of LV10, so his attributes must meet the needs of knights.
Then allegiance and canonization are even more problematic, now although Flange has pills, but after all, it is not really finished, it is still an empire in name, and Avril's status as a queen can still be recognized, of course, she has the qualifications to canonize knights.
Avril pulled out a long sword from the weapon rack next to the schoolyard, drew it with a serious face, and placed it on William's shoulder.
"In the name of the Queen of the French Empire, I canonize Mr. William Van Guns as Vice-Commander of the Knights of the Royal Capital, effective immediately. ”
William looked at the glittering sword around his neck, and wanted to shout, 'That's it?'
The canonized person didn't recite the prayer, the canonized knight commander didn't kneel down on one knee, and he didn't even recite a word of the declaration.
[For the first time, you have the command of a unit, and the clan panel is opened]
William, who received the system prompt, smacked his dry lips, okay...... As long as the system recognizes it, there is no sense of ritual or anything.
[Legion Name: Knights of the Royal Capital (Pseudo)]
[Clan Level: Level 1]
[Legion: 32/1000]
[Clan Trait: Ram, deals more damage to low-velocity targets.] The lower the target enemy's speed, the higher the damage dealt.
[Clan Skill: Cluster Dash, all members launch a dash forward, increase movement speed and increase damage]
It's miserable...... Even the name has been installed (pseudo), and even an identity class [Knight Commander] is not given.
The panel of this knight is even worse than some of the initial legions [Level 0 Militia] assigned by default. Not to mention anything else, there are still a hundred [zero-level militiamen] in a full formation, and there are only about thirty people in this level of knights, what is this little enough people to do?
It's a complaint, but after all, it's all cavalry, and there are three professionals, it's already good, after all, it's a legion from a white prostitute, and it's good to have someone to use it, but it's a pity that he seems to be just a deputy commander, and the bearded man is his nominal boss, hmm...... Why does this person look familiar?
William glanced at the beard, at this time he was full of excitement to accept Avril's canonization, looking like a hot-blooded middle-aged man, but unfortunately the beard on his face was too thick, William even suspected that the beard had grown to the chest hair.
"Your will, my sword!"
The bearded man trembled like chaff, knelt on one knee and clenched his right hand into a fist at his heart, his full beard was like a hedgehog lying on his mouth, and this hedgehog was jumping sideways repeatedly, constantly opening and closing up and down.
"Glory is my life, justice is truth"
"A knight's will is a sword unsheathed"
"In the face of a strong enemy, I will gladly face it"
"Death to me is not a calamity, but a way home"
"The scar on the chest is the best medal"
......
"May my grave have a broken sword and not a tombstone"
"I will always wield my sword according to your will!"
The oath of hundreds of words was sprinkled in one go, and there was not even a little bump in the middle, and it was obvious that he had memorized it well for a long time, and he had been preparing for this moment for a long time.
When the bearded man was "reciting poems", William peeked at the knights in the school field, most of the knights who did not choose to join were ashamed, and those who had joined stared at the bearded man on the stage with envy, one by one, with their heads held high and their eyes shining, looking proud.
[Witnessed an excellent canonization ceremony, the legion gained a temporary special status that lasted until the end of the next battle]
[Special Status: Chivalry, this is a group of strong-willed knights who can launch an effective charge in the face of enemies far superior to themselves]
Facing the enemy who is "far superior" than oneself to launch a charge, isn't this the top, how can there be a knight responsible for attacking the fortification, the "cost" of this class of troops is so expensive, who is willing to fight hard, large-scale knight hedging on the battlefield is the plot of knight novels, relying on high mobility to encircle and intersperse it, isn't it fragrant? Bullying infantry is the royal way to use this class.
Looking at the majestic demeanor of a group of young people, William sighed secretly, and his heart was a little bit less optimistic about the future of this knight order.
