Chapter 351: The Knights are formed

William kept turning the charcoal pen in his hand and began to think about the formation of the Knights.

"Hmm...... Pregnant! William nodded, with a smile on his face, and began to write.

William intends to make the atmosphere of the knights three levels, the lowest level is composed of knights and trainee knights, and the higher level is the big knight, who can lead fifty knights and trainee knights to fight as a banner team, and above the big knights, there are also holy spear knights, who command four banner teams of 200 people as a wing, and these four holy spear knights are directly under William's command, and when it comes to the battle, if William gives command to Norwen, then they will be temporarily controlled by Norwen.

And each wing, the flag team, has its own military flag, and in addition to William's iron cross coat of arms, the military flag must be represented by something that represents their flag team, so that people can see at a glance that they belong to.

As for the division of ranks of individual soldiers, William stipulated that ordinary knights were a black iron cross, painted on their gauntlets and helmets, while cadet knights, painted with a hollow iron cross as a symbol of their status, they were all composed of the former Denlenburg heavy cavalry, and once they had made a meritorious service, they could be promoted to knighthood immediately.

As for the great knights, William planned to dress them in the same half-face simple cuirass as the knights of the Inner Palace, and the cuirass and gauntlets were smeared with an iron cross with gold edges, which represented their status.

As for the knights of the holy spear, there were not many knights after their battles, and more often they were the presence of banner-carrying commanders, so William prescribed them to be more ornate, not only smearing half of their breastplate with a gold-edged iron cross, but also putting bright feathers on their custom-made helmets that were not similar to the Frankish overlay helmets to represent their status.

As for the knights of the Inner House, William did not intend to dye their hair as commanders and lead the other knights, but continued to let them serve as a sharp knife of the Knights, shouldering the mission of crushing the enemy on the front line.

And William plans to expand their number to fifty, just the formation of a flag team, as for the commander William has already thought about it, the comic knight who has a good relationship with everyone, Yasuo is the best choice.

Sir Yasuo had been with William for more than seven years, about the same time as the veteran before him, and he was approaching forty years old, and his experience and prestige, as well as his qualifications, were sufficient to serve as captain of the Knights of the Inner Palace.

The knights of the Inner Palace, William, did not intend to treat them badly, their helmets and armor were all newly customized, and as the descendants of William's lineage, their equipment was definitely the best.

And William also asked the blacksmiths to work hard to increase the armor that could only cover the two chest muscles to the neck, and finally could barely cover the chest a little down, forming a stronger defense.

In addition, after the establishment of the Knights, they can no longer wear the clothes they usually wear casually, and must wear the military uniforms exclusive to the Knights, which also helps the knights to form a sense of teamwork.

Of course, there is no need to think about the pattern, it is naturally a dress sewn with an iron cross on a white background.

William planned to sew military uniforms for them according to the style of the German military uniforms in his previous life, and the German military uniforms would give people a sense of rigor and orderliness after they were worn, making people look very neat, which is why William chose this style.

Moreover, William, who had a lot of money, also planned to use cowhide to sew military boots for the knights, which was completely in line with William's aesthetics.

At this time, more than an hour had passed, and William put down the pen in his hand and began to review the East Plan he had just written with great interest.

Just do it, anyway, you don't need to do it yourself, you can break your leg if you open your mouth above, and you can break your leg below, this kind of thing he never does himself.

"Vidal!" William subconsciously shouted, Vidal would always stay outside the door, waiting for William's call, and William had developed a habit at will.

But soon, he realized that Vidal was no longer in Denlenburg, and he was taking the officials he had cultivated to take office.

"Anyone? Go help me, Baron Lance call me! William called one of the guards outside the door to call Lance.

And Baron Reims also arrived in William's study very quickly, and got William's order, Baron Reims hurriedly nodded and did it.

Ten days later, William, who had been with Lency and her three children, finally had something to do, the preparations for the establishment of the Knights had been made, the venue and the things that needed to be prepared were also prepared, and they were waiting for William to preside over the establishment of the Knights.

At this time, William hadn't even thought of the name of the Knights.

William was dressed in a gorgeous orange aristocratic robe, with his own iron cross coat of arms on it, and the clothes on his body were also sewn according to the specifications of the knighthood, the patterns on it were all embroidered with gold thread, and there were pearls on the collar and cuffs, and the mouth was also inlaid with pieces of precious gems.

This one garment alone is worth at least a thousand silver coins.

Wella's clothes were similar to William's, the same expensive and gorgeous, Wella helped William tidy up her neckline, and then led little Charlemagne, who was dressed equally gorgeously, and followed behind William to the place where the inauguration ceremony of the Knights was held.

The venue was made a cameo by the ** court on the territory, the ** court was large enough, and the knights and heavy cavalry had all put on the black and white military uniforms that the tailors had made in ten days, as well as the sturdy military boots sewn from cowhide, and sat neatly on the chairs.

They also had epaulettes on their shoulders, which was another way for William to tell them to distinguish their identities, and the Grand Knight and the Knights of the Holy Lancer had already been determined, and they wore epaulettes on their shoulders at this time.

William took Wella and Charlemagne Jr. to the **court, walked to the position of the **official, and then slowly did it.

The knights present also stood up and saluted, and their movements appeared to be uniform under the background of military uniforms.

"You may be seated!"

William nodded, carrying a heavy earl's crown on his head, and placed the scepter in his hand on the table, ready to wake up the inauguration ceremony of the Knights.

First of all, he made a long statement, which probably meant that the knights had accompanied him through ups and downs for so many years.

"Thank you so much for your support! Today I announce! Belonging to the Knights of Denlenburg, the Knights of the Iron Cross were formed! Thank you for your support! I believe that our Iron Cross Knights will definitely surpass all the famous knights, Yang Wei Continent, and make all enemies fearful of us! ”

William gave a moving speech in the hall, followed by the awarding of titles to the knights, the division of the flag team, and the tactical situation, as well as the logistical supplement and the treatment of the knights.

This scene left a deep impression on little Charlemagne's young mind, and he will never forget the scene of his father, the greatest father in his heart, echoed in the hall and admired by thousands of people.

This also made the future Charlemagne never able to rely on his father's influence.
