Chapter 785: Charlemagne's Paladin (Anti-theft Chapter)
If they are the countries of Europa, they can join forces to control the jade caisson. Then, with the loss of more than half of the elite of the Mayflower Federation Navy, they can return to the top of this world. Although it is unlikely that the Mayflower Federation will become their little brother again, it is extremely easy to get rid of the influence and erosion of the Mayflower Federation.
And the countries of Europa are not without the power to press the bottom of the box.
When it comes to its long history and deep accumulation, the Mayflower Federation is far inferior to the countries of Europa, and in the development of Europa, there have been thousands of factions alone. Moreover, the countries of Europa have not been without strong figures such as Qin Shi Huang of China, and there have also been short-lived unifications.
This person is the Carolingian king of the Frankish Kingdom, the founder of the Holy Roman Empire, crowned as the "Emperor of the Romans" by the Pope of Rome, and Charlemagne who is respected by later generations as the "Father of Europe"!
According to the bones of Charlemagne found in later generations, Charlemagne's height is about 1.84 meters. This height is very common in modern times. Whether it is the men of northern China, or the Europa countries, or the Mayflower Alliance, there are not a few men who can reach a height of 1.84 meters.
However, at that time, this height was like a giant. And this height also determines that Charlemagne has a certain advantage in the battle. During his forty-five years of reign, Charlemagne waged about fifty-four wars against the Lombards, Saracens, and Saxons!
And in these fifty-four wars, Charlemagne lost less and won more. As a result, the land under its control includes the vast majority of the countries of Europa. The empire he built included most of present-day France, Prussia, Switzerland, Belgium, Austria, and the Netherlands, as well as one region of Italy and many border areas. Since the fall of the Roman Empire, there has never been an empire of this magnitude in Europa!
Charlemagne, although he can fight well and has superior force, is definitely not a brainless person. He attached great importance to cultural and economic development, and the manor system that has survived in the countries of Europa to this day was founded by him.
The Latin alphabet that is prevalent today was used by Charlemagne after a scholar hired a scholar to modify it according to the original Latin alphabet. The reign of Charlemagne was later known as the "Carolingian Renaissance".
Although the countries of Europa have been in turmoil since the fall of the Roman Empire. Unification has always been a dream. However, Charlemagne was very wise to discover the disadvantages of this turmoil and separation for Europa.
Therefore, I have always wanted to unify the countries of Europa. According to the Chinese people, Charlemagne wanted this unification of the country for thousands of generations. It's about the same as Qin Shi Huang. It's a pity that Charlemagne still went wrong on the issue of heirs. His son, Louis the Pious, though he followed his will. But relatively cowardly.
And the three grandsons of Charlemagne, each with their own disputes, stood on three legs. Eventually, the Treaty of Verdun was signed, which divided the empire founded by Charlemagne into three.
Charlemagne's eldest grandson, Rocher, took the middle part of Charlemagne's empire and established the Kingdom of Middle Francia; Rocheel's second brother, Ludwig, nicknamed the "German", took a share of the east of the Rhine and established the Kingdom of East Francia; and Rocheel's other younger brother, Charles, nicknamed "Bald", divided the rest of the western region and established the Kingdom of West Francia.
That is, later Italy, France, Prussia, and a number of other small European states.
However, although Charlemagne's empire was divided into three, his legacy of unification was not without heirs. During Charlemagne's lifetime, the reason why he was able to win consecutive battles and expand his territory. In addition to his own prowess, the most important thing is that he also has an extremely powerful and loyal group of men!
This is his Charlemagne's Holy Knights!
And the reason why Charlemagne's Holy Knights are so powerful is that in addition to a few knights who are powerful in flesh and blood, they fight and rush violently, and they are invincible in battle, the most important thing is that there are some magicians in this Holy Knights who are loyal to Charlemagne and regard Charlemagne as a brother and brother!
Among them, the two most famous magicians, one is the archbishop Tobin, who is known as second only to the Mage Merlin, and the other is the magician Malagigi, who is known as the "demon"!
These two magicians, among the Holy Knights, are also top-ranked existences.
Charlemagne's Holy Knights are noble but not expensive. The original backbone was only Roland, known as the "greatest knight", Li Na, known as the "barbarian", Archbishop Tobin, and the magician Malagigi, known as the "demon".
Prince Ogier of Denmark, King Solomon of Britani, Estoph of England, and Namo, Duke of Fahuaria
, Firam Barras the Saxon, Floresmatt, lord of the Tower of the Forest, Oliver, and Garnilon.
There were twelve people in total. Known as the Twelve Paladins!
Later, Aven, Aveley, Otto, Byrenger, Ansey, Gern, Girrell, Angelil, Samson, and Girard were gradually added!
Moreover, Charlemagne understands very well that when there are many people, there will be tearing truth, so these people who have been selected for the Holy Knights are not only outstanding, but also absolutely loyal and absolutely high-minded.
It was in Charlemagne's Paladins that the basic rules of conduct for some knights were established and propagated.
As recorded in the later "Complete Book of Knightly Rules": "The duty of the knight is to be the protector of the poor, so that the rich will not harm the poor, and the duty of the knight is to help the weak, so that the strong will not oppress them." ”
"Every gentleman, every knight, is obliged to accompany the weak, so that no one will harass him or attack him, and he has high courage because of the knight's protection. ”
"Do not show prestige and fame to the poor, but give them help and advice......"
Although these rules seem like a fool's hat to people today. However, the knights of these Paladins, through a high degree of self-discipline and willpower, really drew a light in the darkness of the Middle Ages in the countries of Europa.
Such a person is called a knight in Europa, and a gentleman or a chivalrous man in China. It is these people who have always thought of Charlemagne's country and the unification of Europa......
