Iron horses galloped around the meadow in groups, and the armor warriors rode their mounts to show off their troops in front of the Imperial Supreme, and the dazzling sharp swords were raised like forests to pierce the sky. Fastest updates

"Imperial Paladin!"

"Victory!"

The other group of cavalry looked much more solemn, they stood quietly on the large playground, their iron-clad masks shining brightly, and their eyes showing resoluteness.

The erected heavy spears were all upside down on the ground, needless to say, these were the holy cavalry re-recruited by the Empire, and they were also the most powerful heavy cavalry in the Empire, and the killer weapon that the Eastern Empire was proud of.

"The first team comes forward, impact!"

As the herald gave the order, all the motionless cavalry began to ride their horses and run.

Crossing the grass in front of him and smashing through the wooden fence blocking the way, although the armored war horse moved a little slowly, the impact formation was not chaotic at all.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

As the saber slashed through the scarecrow, all the targets were crookedly broken in two, and after a wave, the cavalry showed extraordinary destructive power.

"Second team, impact!"

The cavalrymen who drew their spears began to gallop with the bumpy horses, and the straight spears quickly chopped into the center of the stake in front, pulled out and stabbed again, and repeated several times.

"Hit the target!"

"Hit the target!"

The sword-wielding paladon commander was satisfied, and John took charge of this force, which had suffered several setbacks, and in order to restore their former prestige, he asked the Emperor for this school camp close to the camp of Vondus.

The newly rising Imperial Hussars have become the object of comparison among the Holy Cavalry, and the most recent exploits of the Imperial Palazaders, who failed to make achievements in several major battles, are actually the Bulgarians who followed the suppression of Emperor Basil.

Now the pardoned old soldiers have been called back to serve as the backbone, and the cavalry units of the empire have also supported some elites, and they have barely re-pulled up the façade of the holy cavalry.

The Battle of Manchikot nearly broke the backbone of this prestigious imperial elite.

The valiant paladins of the Great War surrounded the Emperor Romanus, and the Seljuks flocked more and more.

The turn of the war and the betrayal of the Ducasses family left Romanus without the last reinforcements.

Under the siege of the infidels, the Emperor put up a stubborn resistance, and after inflicting a terrible price on the Seljuks, the army was finally defeated.

The ensuing civil war in the empire overwhelmed the royal family's finances anymore, and the magnates tacitly forgot about this group of warriors who had worked so hard for the empire, and everything about them was sealed in the dust.

No one ever spoke of how to restore the old structure of the paladon cavalry, and they were allowed to decay, and gradually the power of the empire fell silent.

The Battle of Myleo Sephalong was probably their final elegy, as the palaysars fought their way back to the near collapse of the empire in their last battle against the infidels.

Once the emperor was defeated again, the fate of Rome was unimaginable.

By the time the elite of the empire, whose banner had been planted throughout the empire in its heyday, was handed over to Andronica, it was just an empty shell with no more than 2,000 men left.

The Imperial Paladions, who had been disbanded and reconstituted again, were greatly damaged.

John who had accepted this force was not a recruit who knew nothing, and he knew very well that without the support of the Imperial Treasurer, it would be a complete joke to restore this once powerful force.

The two most glorious eras of the Holy Cavalry, one was the time of Justinian and the other was the era of the Macedonian dynasty, and the period of Emperor Basil was the last glorious years of their achievements.

Another concrete manifestation of the disparity in the territory of the dynasty is the level of fiscal revenue.

John was also unsure of how many palasars the emperor would allow him to build, until Alexios' court eunuch Licinius sent him a full twenty thousand sets of heavy armor.

"What is my emperor's request?"

The Imperial Paladon Commander felt his voice tremble, was such a huge investment to restore the grandeur of the Palazadon heyday?

"This is the standard armor specially approved by His Majesty the Emperor bypassing the Senate."

"Although the Imperial Council and the Senate are still pestering whether to increase this year's land tax, they have been directly rejected by His Majesty the Emperor."

"His Majesty Alexios has ordered me to allocate an additional one million gold from the Royal Treasurer for your recruitment, and of course these funds will be reviewed by the Royal Envoy."

"It should."

For Alexios's generosity, it is impossible for John, as the commander of the Holy Cavalry, not to be touched without any touch.

As a high-ranking soldier of the empire, he was of course aware of the empire's financial constraints, but what he didn't know was that he had been away from the imperial capital for too long, and the wealth of the imperial family had accumulated.

"Please be sure to tell His Majesty the Emperor that the Holy Cavalry will not live up to His Majesty's request!"

"From now on, the palsaders will only fight for the emperor!"

…………

Anatolia's abundant horse warriors were either killed at the hands of the Seljuks or moved west to Greece, where they were all consumed in the battle against the Normans.

John was also troubled by the Emperor's ban on foreigners entering the Empire's most glorious cavalry units.

However, the new training model of the Imperial Official Academy made his eyes shine.

Excellent academy cavalry officers continue to join the ranks of the paladier cavalry, adding new blood to this imperial powerhouse.

"If such an elite hadn't followed that traitor from Andronica, how could the Empire give up on them so easily!"

The Emperor sighed that after more than a year of vacancy, it is unknown whether this sword has lost its former sharpness, but as long as the establishment still exists, he can re-enter the Holy Cavalry.

"Half a turn left, return to kill!"

The cavalry on the Colonel's field once again displayed their amazing artistry, and the horseback skills of the Latin knights controlled the mounts to slow down in the high-speed charge, and then took a slight turn and returned to where they had set out in a neat order.

The Hunting Banner was constantly fluttering, the ironclad paladites contrasting with the silver wings of the Imperial Hussars, and the ground began to tremble with the heavy cavalry's pedals.

"Congratulations to the most glorious warrior of the Empire."

Alexios returned from the viewing platform, and before leaving, he raised his glass to congratulate the knights who participated in the parade, and the emperor left with a smile amid the cheers of the crowd.

"I hope to personally award the banner of the Imperial Paladins on the next battlefield, the banner of the exclusive paladins."

"Your Majesty, I will not disappoint you!"

John, the current commander of the Holy Cavalry, clasped his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and all the emperor's ** soldiers bent down to see him off.

"Next time it's time for the paladins to spread their wings!"
