Motskov sat on the stone steps, looking impatient.

He has brownish-yellow hair, quite tall, with a tiger's waist, good hair, beard, all unkempt, not much care, a sallow face, narrow eyes, rosacea, wearing a leather armor, similar leather armor can only appear in the army, now, even in the army is rarely seen, after all, no matter how good the leather armor is, it can't withstand the bullets fired by the magic stone gun.

It's just a habit of his!

He is a knight, a knight obsessed with the past and hated the modern ways of warfare.

Speaking of which, Motzkov is also a genius, he was promoted to a knight before the age of twenty, and he had a fighting spirit in his body, and he had some reputation in the Great Plains of Portsky, and he entered Portsky's Royal Forest Army very early, and after that, he participated in two wars between Portsky and the Eastern Rakshasa Kingdom, and made a lot of achievements, and there were several Rakshasa knights who died in his hands, and even, some transcendents were killed by him on the battlefield.

Originally, he was just a small baron.

With these merits, there is no problem at all in being promoted to the first rank, and after becoming a viscount, maybe there will be a fief, a small grassland, thousands of cattle and sheep, hundreds of horses, and dozens of serfs have become his property.

Yes, the Portsky and Rakshasa countries located in the northeast of the Noah continent are now feudal countries with serfdom, and they still have physical restraints, unlike the French Empire and the Berne Empire located in the center of the continent, serfdom has been abolished, and the vast countryside has only manor owners and hired laborers, and there are also many yeoman farmers, after all, it is now an industrialized and commercialized world, and there is no way to get rich and rich by operating the land, only to maintain food and clothing.

Portsky, like the Rakshasa state, was relatively backward and still in the barbaric Middle Ages, and although the wave of industrialization also spread to these two countries, however, because of the strong wave of opposition, the dominant vested interests did not want to make changes, and a large number of conservative aristocrats stubbornly refused to change, so industrialization and commercial circulation could only develop in a very small number of large cities.

More than 90 percent of the country's land is still conservative under the old system.

The reason for this is also related to education.

In both countries, the illiterate and destitute classes are large in number, accounting for at least three-quarters.

Lack of education, lack of circulation, most of the people stick to the land, bound by the land, it is not enough to talk about being well-informed, every year the information transmitted is very little, and most of them are the same three things, in order to facilitate the rule, those nobles who take the manor economy as the pillar are even more reluctant to let the serfs be wise, and would rather let them all be stupid cattle and sheep, even if the work efficiency is outrageously low, as long as they stay honestly.

Swords and whips, this is the weapon used by the noble lords to treat the serfs.

The war between these two countries, its war situation is also relatively backward, still like the Middle Ages, with knights as the mainstay, large-scale cavalry charge as the main mode of combat, extraordinary people as sharp soldiers, often put into the battlefield at critical times, but, because the number is small, most of them are used as pressure formations, and the backbone of the battle is still a knight like Motzkov.

Of course, there are also magical firearms that join the battle.

For this reason, there is also a special grenadier regiment, which is said to be a corps, but it is a small combat team of several hundred people, and in a large-scale operation of tens of thousands of people, it is better than nothing.

There are two reasons for this.

The first reason is naturally the influence of conservative forces, and the commanders of both sides who are responsible for commanding the large corps are basically conservative nobles, and it is difficult for them to change the way they have been fighting.

After all, the country of Portsky is a large plain that stretches for thousands of miles, and even more so is the Rakshasa country east of the national border, which is a wider and wider field than the Great Plain of Portsky, called the black soil, the so-called national border, which is nothing but a large river that originates in the mountains of the south and crosses the great plain to the north and flows into the Arctic Sea.

The two countries have often fought on both sides of the river, and this has been the case for thousands of years.

The battle of thousands of people is just a small-scale friction, there are countless battles of more than 10,000 people, and the war of annihilation mobilized by the whole country has also been carried out several times, among them, Portsky has suffered more losses, and there are several times in the state of death, and he was almost wiped out by the Rakshasa country, and his own great plain has also become the ranch of the Rakshasa people, if not, it has a powerful relative behind it, and there is basically no hope of recovering the country.

The relatives of the Portsky people were none other than the neighbors of the Berne Empire.

In fact, the blood relationship between the Portsky and the Rakshasa is closer, both of them are the northeast race of the Noah continent, and the Berne Empire is different, its race is mainly from the northern wilderness, and it is relatively similar to the Slavians in the north, so the Bernese are often called barbarians by the Francois, and the Rakshasas and the Portsky people are treated worse, and they are directly called barbarians.

Although they disdain the French Empire on the surface, in fact, both the Portsky and the Rakshasa are very envious of the lifestyle of the French Empire, especially the imperial capital of Bahrain, which is like a paradise.

Now, there are many great nobles of these two countries in Bahrain, enjoying civilization and lingering.

The reason why Motskov came to the Francois Empire was related to a great nobleman he followed.

In a war ten years ago, Motskov was killed and wounded by a small soldier who was armed with a magic stone firearm, and the bullet pierced Motzkov's left calf, and the magic energy on the bullet destroyed his fighting spirit, leaving him with no way to go any further and become a Grand Knight.

The nature of the fief or something has come to naught.

His legionnaire was more interesting, and after he retired from the army due to injury, he recommended him to a great nobleman and became the escort of that great nobleman, with whom he had come to the French Empire a few years earlier.

Later, this nobleman was assassinated by political enemies in Bahrain, and as a guard, he could not escape the blame, and could not return to his hometown, so he could only live in a foreign land, in order to survive, through his previous connections, he came to Reims City and held a public office.

After all, although the knight has fallen, it is also useful.

Picking up the flask in his left hand and putting it to his lips, Motzkov took a big sip, the effect of the alcohol made his spirits better, and he glanced at Livingston standing on the stone steps below.

"Your Excellency?"

Hearing Motzkov's voice, Livingston glanced back at him, and then continued to look down.

In front of him, there was a space similar to the ancient Colosseum, with stone steps on three sides, and a narrow square at the bottom, where his students sat sparsely on the stone steps, and at this moment, most of them looked up at him.

"Let's get started!"

Livingston said softly.
