Chapter 357: The Most Perfect Knight

"I don't dare to compare myself to the Eastern Heavenly King. Finally Leitch shook his head and smiled dumbly. He is not blindly humble, although Leitch is very confident, but he is still a little self-aware - with his current achievements compared to the Eastern Heavenly King 30,000 years ago, it is not an exaggeration to say that there is a gap between Firefly and Haoyue!

"I'll just make an analogy. Mavis gave Leitch a blank look, and that look was undoubtedly saying, "Can you blame me for thinking too much?" This made someone speechless for a while, but the two women looked at each other and laughed......

"You've got the idea—don't let yourself be labeled 'brutal'! A brutal lord may not be able to accomplish great things, but a brutal person is still quite unpopular with both nobles and commoners. This will undoubtedly add to the difficulties in your future path, and it will be more than worth the loss of what you did in the first place. At this time, Mavis exuded a sacred aura similar to that of a priest, and if she replaced her gorgeous white dress with a beige uniform, Leitch would mistakenly think that she was back in the middle and high school classroom.

"And you've valuingly underestimated your worth, my Viscount!" said Mavis smirked as he stood on tiptoe and kissed Leitch on the cheek.

"Handsome and chic, rich in learning, humorous, and tens of millions of dollars...... Well, that's not wrong to describe me. Leitch pinched his chin and thought about it, then said seriously.

"Poof, I admire your shameless appearance!" Davis glanced at Leitch and smiled.

"Awards, awards. Leqi calmly accepted his sister-in-law's 'praise'.

"Okay, I'll be serious with you!" Mavis also gave Leech a funny look, and then said, "You are my husband, I don't need to say anything useless to 'encourage' you, and you don't need my encouragement." But I want to remind you that in many cases, a good reputation is far more important than a territory - the territory is so big, but the prestige can radiate the entire Dawn Valley, and even the entire continent!

"King Roland, the most perfect knight, Richard I, Richard Roland?" Davis said.

"That's right, even him!" Mavis nodded, "During the Hundred Kingdoms War, countless heroes emerged on the continent, and Richard I was one of the most dazzling among them, and he was also the first to debut!

"Like the Eastern Heavenly King, Richard I is also an ancient nobleman, but although the family behind the Eastern Heavenly King has declined, there are still a lot of talents under the command of the family, and there are also considerable assets;

"And compared with the cultivation demons such as the Eastern Heavenly King and Nicholas the Great, Richard I's cultivation talent is really not outstanding; and as a troubadour, it is destined that he will not have the almost invincible personal combat power of the Eastern Heavenly King and Nicholas the Great! In terms of leading troops into battle, Richard I was even more defeated than victorious, and was even ridiculed by his enemies as a 'defeated general'! Even Richard I himself once joked to his lords that he was just a mediocre talent!"

"But it is such a seemingly ordinary person, but he is privately regarded by Nicholas the Great as the most feared person, and at the same time the person most hated by the Eastern Heavenly King! What makes such a 'golden mean' who does not seem to be very outstanding so highly valued by the top people in the Valley of the Dawn at that time? Without him, it is the prestige of Richard I!"

"In today's terms, Richard I was a good man in the eyes of the world, and to borrow the long hymn "The Most Perfect Knight", Richard I was the most perfect knight in the eyes of the vast majority of people on the continent at that time, including even the dwarves of the Storm Mountains and the orcs of the Seven Kings! When a person can be recognized by so many people, it is undoubtedly quite terrifying, because no matter where he goes, he can quickly gain the support of others, and in a short time he can re-establish his own armament! And this kind of support can greatly increase the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the subordinates!"

Therefore, whether it was in the era of the Eastern Heavenly King's hegemony, or the invincible years when Nicholas the Great swept across the Eastern Continent, Richard I was definitely the most stubborn enemy on their road to hegemony - Richard I was defeated repeatedly, and even his own main city was breached many times! But every time others thought that this Richard I's power had ended, the other party's noble banner quickly appeared in another corner of the continent! Even though Nicholas the Great had already ruled the entire Valley of the Dawn, Richard I still raised his army again in the Storm Mountains and the Seven Kings Realm! In the face of such a difficult opponent, even if the city was as deep as Nicholas the Great, he was once angry and threatened to send assassins, so that the other party would die without a place to bury!" As he spoke, Mavis's face was full of admiration, and even Davis on the side listened to it with relish.

Of course, the "Most Perfect Knight" that Leitch read is just an ordinary engraving, and it is said that the original manuscript of "The Most Perfect Knight" has long been promoted to an epic weapon, and it is one of the most powerful strategic weapons of the Roland royal family today!

During the War of the Hundred Kingdoms, Richard I was undoubtedly one of the most remarkable heroes, and his life was not enough to describe even the word 'legend'! And among those heroes who once stirred up the storm, Richard I's ending can definitely be called the best -- most of those who opposed Nicholas the Great were either defeated and died in the end, or disappeared, and even their families disappeared! There was only one exception, and that was Richard I. After Nicholas established the Fast Empire and unified the continent, Richard I finally chose to submit and was named King of Roland! This is also the only person who was awarded the high position of prince in the early days of the Fast Empire who was not a close confidant of Nicholas the Great!

And the most important factor that can make Richard I an 'exception' is his unparalleled prestige! Of course, prestige alone is not enough for Richard I to become the prince of the Fast Empire, but it will strengthen Nicholas the Great's belief that he will get rid of him- In the later stage of the Hundred Kingdoms War, Nicholas the Great had conquered the entire territory of the Valley of the Dawn, the entire territory of the Bird Swamp, most of the Storm Mountains and nearly half of the realm of the Seven Kings, but one of the most famous fortified cities in the realm of the Seven Kings, the Eye of the Gray Valley, and the tiger king city of Astrana, dragged the army of the Fast Empire under the city, and this fight was ten years!

During the ten years, millions of imperial elites were buried under the walls of Astrana, and even the walls of Astrana were dyed scarlet by the blood of the armies of both sides, but Astrana still stood proudly! In the end, Richard I came forward to persuade the tiger royal family in Astrana City to surrender the city, which brought the decade-long tragic Battle of Astrana to an end! After the loss of the barrier of Astrana, the Ashenvale region quickly fell, and nearly one-seventh of the huge territory of the Seven Kings Realm was soon incorporated into the empire's territory!

It was with the great merit of persuading the city of Astrana, as well as Nicholas the Great's own 'appreciation' of Richard I, that Richard I was finally awarded the title of Prince of the Empire, and gave him a huge area of nearly 10 million square kilometers centered on Roland City as a fief! But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Nicholas the Great just gave Richard I a big blank check, and within a few years after receiving the title of prince, Nicholas the Great reduced his fief for various reasons, and in just a few years, the fief owned by Richard I was reduced from nearly 10 million square kilometers to only 100,000 square kilometers, which was not even comparable to the fief of a baron in the Fast Empire at that time!

This kind of unfair treatment made many people in the imperial government and the opposition cry out for Richard I, but Richard I himself has never been silent, and has never even made any resistance - you want to cut my territory? You're going to confiscate my property?No problem, in my cellar, I still secretly treasure a few barrels of old wine, do you want to hand it over?Not only that, but Richard I never took a single step out of Roland City until he died!

Richard I's 'obedience' finally made Nicholas the Great helpless, and later he also gave up the oppression of Richard I, which allowed Richard I to finally enjoy his old age, and he even lived until Nicholas the Great was promoted to the god of law and left Andrew's world!

And because of Richard I's forbearance, the Roland family was also preserved, and became one of the biggest beneficiaries after the Battle of Dusk -- the current royal family of the Holy Laurent Empire originated from Richard I's family! Although the Holy Laurent Empire has almost been set aside by the Inquisition, at least the Roland family is still the supreme ruler of the Holy Laurent Empire! At the same time, it is also one of the oldest and most noble families in the Valley of the Dawn and even in the entire Blanca continent—— From the War of the Hundred Nations to the present, this incomparably long family history alone is far beyond the reach of other families!

And what pushed Richard I and the Roland family to this supreme point was the title of Richard I's 'Most Perfect Knight', which boiled down to two words - justice and protection!
