The biggest difference from Sir Augustin Walton, who owned the fief or land, and could derive the main economic income from the land, was that all the would-be lancers, including Sir Alex Ferguson, were merely knights raised by their lord, the Duke of Richmond.

Although the duke could provide them with satisfactory food and lodging, they would also receive substantial rewards from the duke for major festivals or military exploits, such as horses, armor, weapons, cloaks, wine, and meat food. However, the greatest economic income of the quasi-lancers was mainly obtained by means of knightly jousting, warfare and plunder.

Compared with friendly and civilized knightly jousting competitions and robber-like plundering, they are more eager to participate in war, hoping to obtain more lucrative loot through war. If they can survive the war, they can gain the attention and trust of the lord by virtue of their military exploits.

Born in 1146 A.D. and died in May 1219, he served as an advisor and regent to four generations of kings of England, known as the most loyal knight, and the legendary life of William Marshall, who was buried in a Templar ceremony, is a typical example of knighthood.

After participating in the Battle of England and France in 1167 AD, William found a way to make his fortune, that is, war. After participating in a knightly contest with another knight for 10 months, capturing hundreds of knights and their horses, weapons, equipment, and retinue, he was valued by the Earl of Patrick, and finally achieved the highest point of his life - the service of the English royal family. It should be said that William's knightly career was the most dreamed of knightly life for would-be lancers.

At the suggestion of Isabel Walton, Sir Alex Ferguson was quite right to motivate and encourage the lancers. At the very least, the would-be lancers can see what kind of benefits participating in the war can bring to them, i.e., fame, status, and wealth. Although their opponents at this time were not the French, but some of their own insurrectionary peasant rebels.

————————————

The morale of the quasi-lancers was boosted, and one of the quasi-lancers standing in the front row even shouted unscrupulously to his companions: "There is going to be a war here, and now I am going to get rich!" ”

Isabel observed the facial expressions of the men and cast a grateful look at Augustine on her right. In any case, the would-be lancers, who had not yet become full-fledged knights, were no longer focused on her, a woman of strange origin, dressed and behaved strangely.

Augustine, seeing that everyone's faces were full of excitement and dreaming of a windfall one day, smiled and said: "Knights, for the sake of the coming war, I hope that each of you will be ready for war." No matter who the opponent is or how powerful it is, we must fight to defend the honor of His Royal Highness the Duke and the Knights! ”

Ferguson took advantage of the situation to raise his right arm, raised his arm and shouted: "Fight for His Royal Highness the Duke, fight for the honor of the knight!" ”

Almost immediately, the would-be lancers raised their right arms and responded strongly: "Fight for His Royal Highness the Duke, fight for the honor of the knights!" ”

"Fight for His Royal Highness the Duke, fight for knightly honor!"

"Fight for His Royal Highness the Duke, fight for knightly honor!"

"Fight for His Royal Highness the Duke, fight for knightly honor!"

…………

When the lancers dispersed, Augustine, Ferguson, and Isabel returned to the guardhouse. This time, instead of sitting freely and casually as she had just done, Isabel took Augustine's saber and set it aside. When he finished his work, he stood behind Augustine on the right side in a stride position.

Before speaking, Augustine did not explain much to her about the meaning of the knightly squire, but the intelligent and quick-witted Isabel quickly grasped the literal meaning of the name "squire". She believes that the status of the "squire" is somewhat similar to that of the orderly of later US Navy captains.

In her second year at the Naval Academy, Isabel spent summer at sea training in the Atlantic, Pacific, Sixth, and Seventh Fleets. The content of the training is to familiarize yourself with the life of the Navy at sea, the organization and relations of the ship, the weapons and equipment, the tasks, living and working environment of the Navy and the Marine Corps.

Not only that, but she also has to participate in various tasks and duty tasks on the ship in a normal state and in a state of exercise. Of course, the various tasks mentioned here include the work of the senior officers on the ship. Although she had three academic years of summer training at sea, she had never received a job as an orderly. Still, she knew exactly what the orderly was going to do.

Ferguson, who was sitting across from Augustine, poured himself a glass of wine, and then said to her with a smile as he sipped it: "Isabel, what you taught me just now really works." By the way, where did you learn this? ”

At this time, Isabel no longer cared much about the Naval Academy's "no lying, no cheating, no stealing" cadet honor code. Because even if we always remember this principle, it will be of little use in this day and age, in this country.

Isabel looked straight ahead with her eyes level and calmly replied, "The Monastery of Montserrat in Barcelona, Spain." ”

"Monastery of Montserrat? Sizz, you know what? ”

Augustine shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”

To add credibility to her lie, Isabel said: "The Monastery of Montserrat, founded in 1499 in the mountains of Montserrat, is the guardian of the spirit and soul of the Catalans. ”

Now Augustine was even more convinced that she was a continental European woman from the Principality of Andorra, turned to glance at her and said, "Walton, is it the convent that your father sent you to?" ”

Isabel laughed in her heart: "My father? I haven't seen my father since the day I was born. Just my mom once said that he was a very handsome, handsome man with tattoos and driving a really cool Harley-Davidson motorcycle. ”

His face remained calm, serious, and he replied to Sir earnestly: "Yes, my father sent me to live in my grandmother's house, which is Barcelona, for ten years. ”

"Oh, that's right. So, do you speak Spanish? ”

"Yes, sir. Not only Spanish, but I also speak French and Latin. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ferguson laughed at Augustine and said, "Sir, remember our bet?" This time, you're definitely going to lose to me. ”
