Chapter 168: The Battle of Unification 10
Mars looked at Frank, the captain of the ship more than half a year ago, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, "Frank, do you still want to establish the Silver Moon Knights?"
Frank shook his head slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, over the years, I have understood that I am not a qualified leader, although I took over the position of the head of the Silver Moon Knights, I found that I was not suitable to be the leader, so I have not entered the alliance, and now that I have become the minister of the Sunset City Kingdom, I understand that being an official may be what I have been looking forward to." ”
"Oh, is that so? That's a pity, I originally wanted to set up the Silver Moon Legion and have you as the commander, so do you have a good candidate to recommend as a commander?"
Frank paused slightly, although the Silvermoon Legion that Mars said was very tempting, he knew that he was not suitable to be a commander, but he already had a candidate.
So, he said: "Your Majesty, the eighth prince Raymond is a good candidate. ”
"Raymond?"
Mars's lips moved slightly, he still had some impressions of this eighth brother, it seemed that he was only sixteen years old, could he be a commander?
Seeing Mars's puzzled gaze, Frank said, "Your Majesty, Raymond is a rare knight genius I have ever seen, although he is very well hidden at a young age, he is already a high-level knight, and it is said that he is also familiar with military books, and he is qualified to be the commander of the new legion. ”
As soon as he heard the "high-level beginner knight", Mars's heart suddenly tightened, obviously, he didn't know much about Raymond's news, but no matter how you look at it, Raymond doesn't look like a knight, let alone a high-level knight!
However, since Frank said so, and Mars also believed in Frank's vision, he would not ask Frank how he knew, since there was such a high-ranking knight among the royal family, how could he not use it!
He happily said, "Okay, I'll refer to your suggestion!"
Frank was a little surprised, why didn't Mars ask him how he found Raymond, did Mars suspect that he had a connection with Raymond?
This was not a good sign, but Mars didn't ask, and Frank couldn't force it, otherwise it would have made Mars suspicious.
When Frank took his leave, Mars called a guard and told him to go to Sunset City to fetch Raymond at once.
Although the aftermath of Salo Town was handled by strong logistics personnel, it took five days to bury the bodies, dispose of the wounded, reorganize and demote the soldiers, and other trivial matters.
In five days, Mars selected some elite knights from the three major legions of Sunset, the Royal Family, and the Wind Castle, and screened the knights and strong soldiers who had surrendered, and finally formed the Protector Legion.
The Protectorate was led by Mars himself, including 6,000 knights and 24,000 other ordinary soldiers, for a total of 30,000 men.
Mars felt that the number of the 30,000-strong army was enough, of course, the other three major legions were also expanded by 10,000 to accept the soldiers, even so, there were many soldiers sent to logistics by Mars, and Mars was ready to set up a logistics support army, a full-time logistics service.
On the same day that Mars established the Legion of the Protectors, Raymond came to Mars's room.
Looking at this younger brother, Mars didn't feel much affection, after all, this was the first time they had seen each other in more than ten years, and the memories of Raymond when he was a child were almost forgotten.
"Raymond to Your Majesty!" Raymond saluted as he knelt down on one knee.
His figure is not burly, or there are almost no burly people in the royal family of Quinn, however, compared to Mars's stature, Raymond's figure is considered burly.
It can be seen that Raymond is handsome, his body is very strong, and although he is wearing aristocratic civilian clothes, the bulging muscles of his arms still hold his sleeves tightly.
I have to say that Raymond is a good knight, and Mars knows that Raymond is a high-level early knight, and for a knight of this age, his future is limitless, and he may really reappear the glory of the ancestor Ax Quinn.
Mars stepped forward, helped Raymond up, and said, "Since my father died, you and my brother have not met, I hope you don't blame me, it's really the kingdom on the verge of life and death, I don't care about him." ”
Raymond was very calm, stood up, and said, "Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, and he is at the forefront of change, everything is cumbersome and hard. ”
Mars secretly praised in his heart, "The main reason for recruiting you this time is to let your talent have a place to display, you tell me, are you a high-level knight?"
With that, he stared at Raymond.
Raymond's heart was shocked, it was worthy of Mars, he actually discovered his secret, he was a little overwhelmed, but quickly calmed down, and said: "Your Majesty, don't blame, I am indeed a high-level knight, but I only advanced to the high-level not long ago." ”
"How can you cultivate to a high-level knight without knight guidance?" Mars asked.
There are some things that he has to figure out in order to determine Raymond's character and give him the Protector Legion, because the Protector Legion is of great use to him.
Raymond looked at Mars, then sighed, and said: "Brother Wang, although my mother is a maid, her earliest identity is your mother Aldeer's attendant, she is a high-ranking knight, I don't know what happened back then, but my mother is absolutely loyal to your mother, before you left the royal capital, she has been secretly protecting you, you know, Queen Bella wanted to get rid of you at that time." But since you left the royal capital, my mother has stayed away from the palace with me under the pretext of keeping a wake for your mother, and my father has never asked us, but every year he sends someone to give us some money......
As Raymond tells him, Mars also learns something about Raymond and his mother Egles, but of course Mars is skeptical of the veracity of what he says.
However, Mars received an important piece of information, that is, Agris's ancestor turned out to be a descendant of one of the twelve golden paladins of Ax, but unfortunately the family was in the middle of the road, and Aglis's father had become a squire of the powerful.
And Eglis advanced to become a high-level knight at a young age, and carefully taught Raymond, who can be said to be a genius in terms of knightly talent.
In this way, Egris, who has the knowledge of knightly cultivation, has become Raymond's best teacher.
Of course, he didn't even know about the legend of the Ax XII Golden Paladin, which made him very curious, but he couldn't ask in front of Raymond, so he said: "Since you are a high-ranking knight and a descendant of the royal family, you have the obligation to protect this kingdom, are you willing to serve the kingdom?"
