After all, the Knights of the Iron Cross have been tested in many battles, whether it is fighting nearby or on the battlefield of holy war, the combat effectiveness of the Knights of the Iron Cross is obvious to all.

Five minutes later, the inspection of the Denlenburg infantry and the Denlenburg archers was over, and they were followed by the Knights of the Iron Cross.

As the most elite knights in the entire Knights, the Knights of the Inner House stand at the forefront of the ranks.

The leader holds a large flag with the Iron Cross Knights on a white background embroidered on it, and the cavalry spears of the knights behind him also have a pennant with an iron cross on a white background.

On the chest of the knights of the inner province were well-made plate cuirasses, arm armor, leg armor, and the group armor guarding the thighs, all of which were made of multiple iron plates.

Their whole body was protected by this fine and heavy armor, which made people look to know that they were strong in combat.

And behind, they were only followed by the other Iron Cross Knights, who slowly walked forward in the flag team.

All the guests looked at these elite knights, and couldn't help but envy in their hearts, the armor on their bodies, which was much taller and stronger than that of other regions, was also covered with quite fine horse armor.

On top of that, their level of training and track record have also made many of them salivate.

At this time, among the envoys of the Rodland Empire in the audience, there were two people with grim faces.

They are the Grand Master of the Lion Knights of the Empire of Rodland, Falow, and his son Rhaeggar, who, as the top leaders of the Lion Knights, are obviously interested in the Iron Cross Knights in front of them.

Falo's brows furrowed slightly, looking at the Iron Cross Knights passing in front of him, these knights were even better equipped than the Lion Knights, and it seemed that their training was not inferior to the Lion Knights, so he felt that the Iron Cross Knights would be a strong opponent of the Lion Knights.

Of course, the kingdom of Lorik, which had just changed its name, was too far away from the Rodland Empire in the middle of the continent, and it was difficult for the two sides to have any contradictions.

His fear was that the rise of the Iron Cross would tarnish the prestige of the Lion Knights.

On the side, Rhaegar looked at these majestic knights passing by in front of him with great interest, in his opinion, these knights were not weaker than the lion knights he was in.

Born with a golden spoon in his mouth, he entered the Lion Knights at an early age, and he has been trained as a knight since he was a child, and he is very strong.

Most of the Lion Knights are no match for him, but because of this, he knows a lot about the fighting power of the Lion Knights.

The moment he saw these Iron Cross Knights, he subconsciously decided that they were no weaker than the Lion Knights.

The horses were tapping in order, and although they weren't as uniform as the infantry, they still looked very neat.

The momentum they casually revealed made all the nobles salivate, and they fantasized in their hearts about what it would be like if they also had such a knight order.

At this time, beside a duke sent by the Lordland Empire, a petite squire looked at the troops below with curiosity in his eyes.

He was amazed by the soldiers and knights who walked below, and the one he had seen the most was the Lion Knights of the Lordland Empire.

Most of the lion knights inside are in the gorgeous style of the Rhodesan Empire, and they are all very proud, many of them have this indescribable pride, and they seem to be very interested in glory, and some of them can almost be called vanity in their eyes.

But the knights who passed by him were completely different from those lion knights, and he felt a sense of orderliness and responsibility, and discipline from them.

Indeed, when William established the Iron Cross Knights, he demanded order and discipline, and he did not want anyone on the battlefield to leave the ranks and disobey orders because of the pursuit of honor.

This is quite a fatal mistake for a battle, or even a war.

The Lion Knights, on the other hand, even encouraged the knights to be arrogant and proud of their strength in order to pursue the knights' combat effectiveness.

This has led to a sense of lack of order and discipline in the Lion Order.

It didn't matter what the squire thought, it was the attitude of those princes and nobles that William really cared about.

William had an unobstructed view of the situation below, and he was also very satisfied with the reaction of these nobles and envoys, and it seemed that the purpose of showing off force and the might of Xuan He had been achieved.

Whoever wants to invade the kingdom of Lorik must first face such a fierce army.

The military parade ended in less than an hour, and since the purpose of Xuanhe's military might had been achieved, it was time to proceed to the next item, and in this way, this grand military parade ended under the discussion of everyone.

The next item is the athletic tournament that William has been preparing for a long time, and the winner of this athletic tournament will receive 2,000 gold coins prepared by William, as well as the title of a baron.

Under such a heavy reward, everyone was boiling, not to mention the bounty of two thousand silver coins, just becoming a baron was already a great temptation.

And the knighthood that originally required countless battles, which could not necessarily be obtained, can now be obtained by only winning the competitive tournament, which is a very big opportunity for many people.

Early the next morning, William, the nobles, and the legations arrived at the arena, and William and Wella sat at the front, and next to them sat the nobles.

Pope Uban II sat side by side with William, followed by representatives of the Kingdom of Astra and the Empire of Rodland, followed by Archbishop Baringsin.

There were more than 2,000 participants, so they had to divide into several arenas to fight.

The events of the competition include horse gun group battles, horse horse gun duels, infantry battles solo duels, and infantry group battles, all of which are armed with wooden swords and shields provided by William, as well as armor that was eliminated by the original Dengrenburg infantry.

All the participants were ready, and William stood up from his high-backed chair, raised his scepter and said, "I announce, the race begins!" ”

Soon, the competition began, and the contestants were brought to the arena, which could accommodate up to 400 people at the same time.

The first game was a group horse gun battle, and most of the participants were foreign nobles and high-ranking knights who came here, and there were also many nobles from the Kingdom of Lorik, in addition to the high-ranking knights above the Grand Knight of the Iron Cross Knights.

They made various gestures to the spectators on the field of play and greeted the spectators.

After all, there are many noble ladies and noble ladies in the audience, and many nobles and knights who want to pursue an affair hope that their shadow on the field can attract the attention of those noble women.
