The old knight of Nelson, who was named, trembled with excitement, knelt down on one knee, and swore allegiance: "I, Nelson. Freeman, I swear by my honour that I will always be loyal to my lord, His Highness William, and I will never leave the title. ”

William drew a knight's sword from his waist, touched Nelson Knight's shoulders three times, and said, "In the face of a strong enemy, be fearless; Courageous and faithful, worthy of God; Loyal and upright, rather than give in; It is your oath to protect the weak and not violate the principles of heaven. ”

Knight Nelson followed William through the vows, sentence by sentence, and the canonization ceremony was completed, officially becoming a knight loyal to William.

"Your Highness William, I am willing to give my son the manor and title you have bestowed, and I ask you to take him under your command." Knight Nelson stood up and said in a sincere tone.

"I grant your request, Nelson Knight." William said with a smile and a nod.

The ceremony lasted two hours, and William finally received the allegiance of eleven knights, eight of whom were willing to give their lands to their heirs, so that they could serve William. And our partner cavalry also had twelve people who were given land estates.

Although William divided twenty manors, and only eighteen manors were still in his hands, it was also a great gain to gain the loyalty of everyone.

This time, William also expressed to all the knights that he was willing to recruit the outstanding children of their family into the companion cavalry, which was enthusiastically echoed by the knights, and it was expected that the companion cavalry could be expanded by about sixty men after this war.

As night fell, bright bonfires lit up the makeshift camp, and knights and soldiers sat around to toast, enjoy food and wine, and share the joy of victory.

At this moment, in the central tent of the camp, William sat at the head, Sir Hubert, Steward Osborne, Faller, Rodrigo. Diaz, Jeffrey. Katzenberg, Andrew. Dalton, Daniel. Buller, Nelson Knights, Ronald Knights and other generals sat on the left and right of William.

Looking at the generals gathered together, William had a magical pride in his chest, and looked at the generals present left and right, William nodded and took the lead in speaking: "I really feel very sad and sad about this rebellion led by the independent battalion of knights, and more than 500 lives were taken to hell by the ambitious rebel knights. Why are the rebel knights so ambitious, wanting to collude with the Baron of Argenton and the rebels of Alençon to start a rebellion? The Count of Evre, who betrayed their allegiance and conspired to rebel, was simply deserved and unforgivable. ”

Everyone nodded yes, only Daniel. Bühler and Knight Ronald just nodded, but did not speak.

William's eyes narrowed slightly, stared at Ronald and Daniel, and said in a deep voice: "Ronald Knight, Daniel. Commander Buhler, you seem to have different opinions, so please tell us what you think. ”

Under William's cold gaze, the two of them shuddered, stood up, bowed and saluted: "His Royal Highness William, your decision is very correct, and we have no intention of opposing you." ”

"Oh! Ronald Knight, Daniel. Captain Buhler need not be afraid, I don't mean to criticize you. William comforted in a soft voice: "If you have anything you need, you can also bring it up, then start with you, Ronald Knight." ”

"Yes, His Highness William" Knight Ronald stood up, bowed, and said in a sincere tone: "Your Highness William, although the rebellious knights deserve it best, those soldiers are innocent, please forgive them mercifully." ”

"Knight Ronald, it is impossible to forgive them, after all, they themselves are the servants of the rebel knights. Of course, I can pardon their status as slaves and let them fight with the knight legions as servants, and their pay is slightly lower than that of conscripted baggage. William pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and said.

"Thank you for your kindness and generosity, Your Highness William, and we will be forever grateful to you." Knight Ronald bowed deeply to William and said in a moving tone.

"Well, Knight Ronald, Knight Nelson, you two belong to the knightly legion under the command of Sir Hubert, acting as Sir Hubert's deputy, serving as the commander of the light cavalry and the commander of the infantry respectively." William smiled and looked at Knight Ronald and Knight Nelson in the audience, nodded and spoke.

"Your orders are my mission, His Highness William." Ronald Knight and Nelson Knight stood up and bowed in reply.

Once the two were seated, William turned his gaze to Daniel, who was sitting upright. Bühler said: "Next, Daniel. Commander Buhler, please let us know what you think. ”

"Yes, His Highness William." Daniel. Commander Buller stood up, bowed and said: "Your Highness William, please pardon those captured mercenaries as well, I understand their greed for life and fear of death and greed for money, so His Highness William asks you to hand them over to me, and I promise you that these mercenaries will be trained to be qualified soldiers." ”

"Daniel. To be honest, Commander Buller, I don't trust these enemy mercenaries, they already have a history of betraying their allies and turning against each other, not to mention that their commander has paid with his life for his offense, and I don't believe they will really serve me. William shook his head slightly and said in a regretful tone.

"Your Highness William, in that case, please give me those two hundred slave mercenaries, and I will let them prove their loyalty with their own blood." Daniel. Commander Buller bowed deeply to William and said in a pleading tone.

"Daniel. Commander Buller, since you have faith, then I will put the soldiers of these slave camps under your command, of course, there are more than two or three hundred of them, and I need you to make good use of them. William smiled with relief on his face and nodded in agreement.

"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness William, and I, Daniel. Bühler swears by my honor that I will live up to your trust. "Said Daniel. Bühler bowed deeply and received a nod from William before taking his seat.

William turned his gaze to Sir Hubert and said, "Sir Hubert, the knight legion you led in this battle has the greatest credit, and it is reasonable to give priority to the selection of loot, and you can take whatever you need." ”

This promise is not light, even if the knight rebels can capture dozens of weapons and armor, dozens of war horses, not to mention the armor, weapons and materials captured by mercenaries and wooden castles, counting these will only be more.

"Your Highness William, this—" Hubert stood up, and said with some incursion, "you have given us too many rewards, and our victory depends entirely on your wise decision." ”

"Haha, Sir Hubert, you can accept it with peace of mind." William's face burst into laughter, who said that medieval knights don't come on sycophants.
