Chapter 257: Holy Sword Durandar
Faced with the doubts of the nobles, William had already figured out, after all, Jenny at this time. Morality. Dark, who had just been canonized as a knight by him, was a peasant girl and was not accepted by the nobles.
At the same time, before she was recognized and canonized as a saint by the Holy See, Jeanne's fame and prestige were not enough to subordinate these proud noble generals to her command, so the nobles strongly opposed William's arrangement, especially those noble officers who were affiliated with the Rouen-Erborg Order.
By this time, there was a heated debate in the halls of the Duke's Palace, between the nobles who opposed William's appointment and the nobles who were loyal to William and supported him, and they were arguing fiercely about William's appointment of Jeanne to the Knights of Rouen-Erburg.
William tilted his head slightly, and instructed Fale, who was standing beside him, "Write it down, and I will be clear about who is for and who is against." ”
After Faller quietly left, William saw that the argument on the field was about to escalate into a scolding trend, and knew that he couldn't wait any longer, so he stood up and struck the ground three times with the golden scepter he held in his right hand, and drank: "Shut up for me." ”
Hiss...
Suddenly, the nobles on the field shut up, as if the previous quarrel had never happened, but they knew the consequences of William's anger, and no one wanted to touch this brow.
"I appoint Jenny. Morality. As the commander of the Rouen-Erborg Knights, who is in favor and who is against? William's sharp gaze swept over everyone, and everywhere he passed, the nobles all retreated, and they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at William.
"Jenny. Morality. Darke Knight, please come forward. William looked at Jenny and said.
"His Highness William." Jenny stroked her chest with her right hand and bowed to William.
William nodded slightly, untied the gorgeous long sword he was wearing from his waist, stepped forward and handed it to Jenny and said: "I give you this holy sword Durandal, it symbolizes my authority, you can use it to punish any disobedient nobles in the Rouen-Erborg Knights, I hope you can use this sword, you can conquer all enemies." ”
The sword was extremely ornate, with a golden body and intricate patterns, and the hilt and body were inlaid with sapphires and crystals carefully polished by regular customers, exuding a clear divine light.
Durandal: One of the three great sacred swords in Europe, the famous sword that appears in "The Song of Roland", Roland's saber.
The source is that an angel asked Roland to dedicate the sword to King Charlemagne, and it is said that Roland defeated the giant Jutmundus and presented it to Charlemagne, and finally Charlemagne awarded the sword to Roland. In Charlemagne's legend, it has been depicted in various forms, and has become a symbol of the bravery of the knight Roland.
Legend has it that the hilt of this sword is made of gold, and it is inlaid with a series of sacred relics such as St. Peter's tooth, St. Pakistan's blood, St. Denis's hair, and a piece of the Virgin Mary's clothes.
As a result, it became an extremely high sacred weapon, so this sword also has the nickname "Angel's Sword". And the sword itself is extremely sharp and indestructible. The bearer can be protected by God and angels, and Durandal has the meaning of permanence, as the marble that once cut nearly 3 kilometers is also called chopping marble.
Also known as the Sword of Permanence, the blade of the sword is indestructible and means "indestructible blade".
The sword was requested by William from Henry I, and is said to have been taken by Robert I, the founding monarch of the Capetian dynasty, from the last Carolingian ruler at the time, and it had been carried by Henry I until then.
The sword was so precious that William didn't hesitate to give it to Jenny, which shows how much William valued her.
The nobles present all looked at Jenny who was kneeling on one knee with envious eyes. Morality. Dark, even Emma, who has an intimate relationship with William, regards Jenny as his enemy.
"Yes, His Highness William, I will live up to your expectations." Jenny. Morality. Darker respectfully accepted the holy sword Durandar given by William with both hands, leaned over and kissed the hilt of the sword, stood up and raised the sword high with both hands.
William looked at Jenny holding the holy sword Durandar, her tall body was dressed in gorgeous full-body plate armor, and her golden hair was coiled on her head, she was a beautiful and mighty female knight.
At this point, the nobles on the field no longer dared to oppose Jenny in front of William, and with William supporting Jenny, they didn't dare to provoke Jenny again.
"Jenny, this is your first formation, and there may be some deficiencies in assembling the army and marching the formation. Grylls, along with two companies of Guards cavalry and their commander Albert. Sauron, Mephistopheles. Sauron sends it to you, and they will serve as your military lieutenants to assist you in commanding battles. William did not deny that Jenny did have a great talent for military affairs, but after all, he had no experience in war, so he had to send some experienced generals to assist her.
As the chief general of the first army, Jenny, in William's opinion, can play a role in stimulating the morale of the whole army, which is already very good, as for commanding the army to fight, it is better to leave it to the generals sent by William.
"Thank you, His Highness William." Jenny nodded to William in thanks.
"This time, you have to behave well, at least let those proud nobles recognize you, I pray very much for your activity." William affectionately took Jenny's hand and left the hall of the Duke's Palace, and the nobles behind him also dispersed with William's departure.
......
Jeanne was an experienced female knight, and after receiving the command of the Knights of Rouen-Urborg granted by William, he immediately recruited Ferdinand, Baron of Pontoise, whom William assigned to him, and the Sauron brothers, Albert and Mephistopheles.
"Lord Ferdinand, Baron of Pontoise, Knights of Albert and Mephistopheles, in support of the Breton battlefield, I, Jeanne. Morality. Duck is about to go to Rouen and Urburg with His Royal Highness William's edict to gather the knights to form a knightly order, and I hope to have your help. Jenny said in a sincere tone.
"Since it is an order from His Royal Highness William, I naturally have no disrespect" Baron Ferdinand nodded, looked at Jenny and said solemnly: "Jenny. Morality. Knight Dark, don't live up to the expectations of His Highness William. ”
"Please rest assured, I will use my own efforts to meet the expectations of His Royal Highness William." Jenny smiled.
"Jenny. Morality. Duck Knight, we brothers will follow your orders, so please rest assured. "Albert. Sauron responded.
"Haha, Knight Jeanne, when are we marching into Brittany? I can't wait! Mephistopheles said excitedly, looking impatient.
"Now we can begin to assemble the army, and although His Highness William has not given us a deadline of time, we still have to put together the Knights of Rouen-Urbororg." Jenny also nodded solemnly in response.
